CAUTION TO PERSONS NEGLECT-
ING THEIR TEETH AND GUMS.
waTRACT FROM MONS. LE DRAYS "TREATISE ON LOSS OF

TEETH."
Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none
snore destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums
causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro-
&ices the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A
soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks
of the Teeth, penetrates into the Gums, which gradually
baste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and
drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known th si
the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other.
, On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following
Zoservations :--" When the disgusting effects of this accumu-
'4, tien are coneidereg, it would appear impossible that any per-
;Mien could be necessary to induceersons to obviate so great
uesed3ance even on their own account: or if they are too de-
to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ-
fi a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the
4feteeses of ethers, who possess more delicacy
and propriety of
eli4olg than tifeniselves. Yet, so it is; and the sight and the
are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some
ople, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion
to the di gust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199.
d
Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth
and
s, or for a moment catch the odour of their own
tharlotshey would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To
oreesional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who
I'ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world,
Rood state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance
~esides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out
yet twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums,
LrY, 11'101 calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony?
of now often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness
mouse"l 'marriage state most grievously interupted by the same
?
'the inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too
t*ell known to require comment, but to those who have not es-
4`cr,ienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieqr Le Dray
T'e,siirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en,-

st on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard
digestion and articulation, to
.which they
so
much essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are
tb_. sineerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not
a, 'Gus that there are man) persons who never give themselves

~Mastificatios'n is the first process of digestion, and unless it
tii.o'tvin'Y
Y performed, the subsequent processes can never go on
Is „osseuTlential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of it
,muslltlicient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, net-
tle bilitY, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and
their of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips
for vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing
,oe whole body to receive such a shock as to cause relaxation
f lOe whole system, which produces an irritable temper, quite
„°OII4PI to the natural disposition, whereby we become an an-
nota.Pe to our friends, and a burthen to ourselves. But I need
tiu dwell upon the numberless concomitant evils which may
t, Vita their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient
found now that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be
to,, to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu-
thl'ez and that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at
104Tta,bliahtnent, No. 60, Newman-street, Oxford -street, as
arn'llomi this function in a manner equal in every respect to
atural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They
sta° arranged as to restore 'the face to its former youthful
s:_, correcting all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doing
wa! with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires.

-"'cooured. On are embellished
even homely features and a
goodW complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a
„" set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass
so'lnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even.
tarthe other hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of
C'ar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the
•r;cath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will
1 %:ariably prove disgusting and loathsome.

Emigrants and their Families is now completed in VERA

habits have found the climate genial and salubrious, and are
now locating on farms with cattle, poultry, and abundant pro-
visions, the growth of the country.
The clearances of land extend rapidly ; the native Indians
freely give their labour at low wages to the British colonists,
whose reports upon the soil and productions of the country, its
splendid scenery, rivers, purity of air and water, continue to

SETTLEMENT OF NEW PLYMOUTH,
The New Plymouth Settlement is intended to consist of
three classes of land.
First—The town land, comprising 2,200 sections, of a
quarter of an acre each.
Secondly—The suburban lands, comprising 209 sections of
50 acres each.
Thirdly—The rural land, comprising at least 1,150 sections
of 50 acres each.
All sales in England will be confined, until further notice,
to actual Colonists, on the following terms :-
1. With a view to distribute as generally as may be prac-
ticable, the advantage to be derived from the possession of pre •
liminary lands, no application from an individual colonist will
be entertained for more than eight allotments of land, each
allotment containing one section of town land, and one section
of rural land.
2. Two hundred and fifty allotments are setapart for sale as
above-mentioned, at the price of 751. for each allotment, and
applications for the same are to be made in writing to the un-
dersigned, which, if accompanied by a deposit of 101. in
respect of each allotment, will entitle the applicant to receive
separate land-orders for each town and rural section, with
such priorities and rights of selection as hereinafter mentioned,
in exchange for the residue of the purchase money.
3. The numbers signifying the priority. of choice for the
town sections have been selected on a fair average from the
1,000 numbers of choice, which have fallen to the Company in
the general ballot above referred to. These selected numbers
(particulars of which may be obtained at the Office in
Plymouth, or at the New Zealand House, London), are de-
posited in a wheel, from which the purchaser's numbers will
be drawn in the presence of three Directors, and of the appli-
cant, if he shall think proper to attend, either in person or by
his agent.
The purchasers will be entitled to such town sections as may
have been chosen by the Company's Agents in virtue of the
priority of choice signified by the number so respectively
drawn. The purchasers will also bo entitled to select the rural
sections from any land in the Plymouth Settlement, surveyed
and declared open for choice as rural sections, at the time,
and according to the order of presenting the land-order in the
Colony, subject only to the regulations of the land-office for
preserving fairness and regularity of choice.
4. The sum of 501., in respect of every 751. received for each
allotment as above, will be transferred to the Emigration
Fund, and a purchaser to the extent of 3001. will be entitled to
an allowance from the said fund towards the passage of himself
and family to the Colony, at the rate of 25/. per cent. on the
amount of his purchase money. Provided that no party will
be entitled to a larger allowance on the above-mentioned ac-
count, than will pay his own passage and that of his family (if
any) according to the rates which will be issued from time to
time by the Court of Directors. The residue of the fund will
be expended in the conveyance of labouring emigrants to the
settlement.
Any person proceeding to NewwileLaliaAndmwDithitayvpieGwEtso,,pur-,
chase Land in this settlement from the Company, will receive
liberal allowances in passage-money, Sze., particulars of which
may be obtained at the office, or at the New Zealand House

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM TIL,: InnirNlNG 1-Ar3l;s 01' THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—The speech of. Sir Robert Peel last n*ht
was what we declared it would le When he first announced his
motion of want of confidence—a movement in a false direc-
tion. We stated then, and wo, now repeat, that he could not
render a more essential se:vice to Ministers and to the comae-
try than by affording an opportunity:fora discustien, in the.
course of which it would not his power, by any man-
oeuvring, to prevent the great euestion on which parties are
now at issue, from being brought distinctly before the nation.
It was clear to every one
_whwheard the Right Honourable Ba-
ronet, that his OWII. judgment condemned the course he was
pursuing. He was evidently impreaSed by a cousciousnesse
that whatever result. hiS motion might have, it would tell
against himself. It aas net the speech of a leader cheering on
his troops to assured victory. A tone of hopelessness
pervaded it. Instead of a bold arraignment of Mi-
nisters, on clear and • intelligible grounds, it was
made up of assumptions of technical grounds of juse
tification of the course he was pursuing, and throughout the
Right Hon. Baronet seemed to feel as if he were on his own
trial. Every now and then we could perceive that he was de-
fending himself against his own party—as if he were answering-
the
charges lately brought against him by the Times Journal of
not doing enough, when out of office, to ensure his return to
power. Sir Robert set out with stating, what no one would
think of disputing, that a Ministry"ought to possess the collie
dente of the House of Commons, apd he gave himself much
unnecessary trouble to go over the parliamentary history of
the country since the Revolution, to' prove that Ministers, •
when they ceased to command 'MajOrnies in the House of
Commons, usually resigned.. But though it may be necessary
to command the confidence of the House. of Commons, it is
not necessary to command the confidence of any one House
of Commons. No prerogative of the Crown is more essen-
tial for the safe working of the Constitution, than the.
power of appealing to the country, by a dissolution. With-
out such a power a House of Commons would, like the
Long Parliament, become a permanently supreme power..
When Sir Robert observed that it is dangerous to set up the
implied or supposed opinions of constituencies against their de-
clared and authorised organ, the House of Commons—that the
House and the constituencies should. not be brought into this
unseemly contest," he said what literally amounted to nothing.
It was true, if applied to an abstract House of Commons, but not true, if applied to any particular HQUSC; else why the power
to dissolve when the Crown allows the country to judge be
tween its servants and a Ifouse of Conimons? During a great
part of the period travelled over by thii Right Honourable Ba-
ronet, Ministers usually resigned ut once on being outvoted,
because in the then state Of the representation an appeal from
a majority would have been an absurdity. Except. under such,
very peculiar circumstances as those whiCh induced Mr. l'itt
to appeal to the country when the coalition between
North, Fox, and Burke had excited a ' strong feeling
of indignation against them, there could he no hope
from a dissolution. So long as a Ministry were to the taste of
the boroughtnengeis, they commanded
.a large majority, and
the decrease of a large to a small majority was tantamount to
defeat. But defective as the Reform Bill may still have left
the representation, it has annihilated the boroughmongers, and
it cannot now be said that the 'sal te individuals who returned:
the Representatives to one-House- of Commons return the Re-
presentatives to its successor. The Reform Bill has made the
prerogative of dissolution a'real• and 'substantive part of the
Constitution. When it is allowed' that Ministers have the ,
power to dissolye Parliament, and appeal to the nation, the
question is at an. end. They have not, as 'Sir Robert Peel
himself admits that. he did, continued to govern the country,
with majoritieSagainst them, not only in the whole House,.
but in Committees, for months, in a House of Commons
summoned by himself, hut all theattempte of their opponents.l
to possess themselves of 'power have been foiled. The Ministry
have not, it is' true; a great_ majority, but Sir Robert will not
contend that &minority is better than' a majority.
TIMES.—In as far as Sir Robert• Peel's motion proposes fo
affirm that " her Majesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess
the confidence of Parliament to enable them to carry measures
which they deem essential to the welfare of the country," it
only expresses, in a civil _.and-.ceremonious way, what those
Ministers themselves can neither disguise nor disown. Indeed,
from the night'whin theyeffected e re-entrance into Down-
ing-street up to the present Jammer-4.16 y have been destituee ,
of all the attributes of office; except
.its mere patronage and
booty ; of real yower or porlatity they have none. Many
of their mischievous' machinations have been ignominously
defeated ; but, unless willethe'coneurrence and aid of the Con-
servative party (as in the Irish Tithe and Corporations Bill),
not a single proposal of theirs of any imeortance—no, not cycle
with O'Connell's tail at their Lack—have they been able to
procure aeceptance for, from either branch of the Legislature,
Whether we recur to theie home or colonial policy on matters
which they have uniformly represented as essential to the public
weal, we find, that so far from having commanded the confi-
dence of Parliament during any part of their, easeer, their whole
Cabinet history has been a series of humiliating defeats. Their
factious and predatory plan fur supplanting Slr Robert Peel's
abolition of Chtirch-rates7-their •vite.attempt to suppress Pro-
testant worship in various parts of Ireland—their scandalous
endeavour to discard religion from the general education of the
people—the tyrannical coup d'etat whereby they sought to ex-
tinguish the free Constitution of Jamaica—their high-handed
despotism in reference to the Canadian provinces—their nefa-
rious jobbery in the Newport-Monteegle affair—their guilty and
alarmed oppoSitiontoMr. lierries's motion for the production of
the public accounts—their base attempt to disfranchise Ludlew
for having rejected that everlasting French lacquey of theirs,
Monsieur De. Larpent—their heartless profligacy in having
courted Itoyal favour at the expense of exposing Prince Albert
to the perilous unpopularity inseparable from an exorbitant al-
lowance--their veualresistence to Lord Stanley's Bill for the'
reform of the Irish registr:es—their despicable project for a hi.
qualification on behalf of O'Connell's myrmidons, while vet
refusing the same privilege to Englishmen in a similar rank of
life—their licentious registry-abortion (of which that offeesive
piece of Irish favoritism was a part) be.gottentby their Popish
Attorney-General, but of which the immaculate Lord Mor-
peth consented to become the putative father—and
finally, their last desperate sally upon British commerce, •
by a reckless and premature assault upon some of
its principal branches—on all these important points
(what others have they successfully dealt with 7) ,
they have been arrested, exposed, handcuffed, and horse-
whipped—ay, to an extent unparalleled in the calendar of '
Ministerial degradation. Connecte.rwith the preceding proofs
of Sir Robert Peel's proposition, " that the Queen's Minister's
do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of
Commons," it is necessary to bear in mind that this fact has
been distinctly admitted, both by Lord Melbourne in the
House of Peers, and also by Mr. Babingtien Macaulay, in a
lugubrious harangue of his to the Edinhurgh electors. The
same truth was forcibly pressed upon the Whigs by Viscount
Howick in the Home of Commons, when, in justification.
his retirement front the Ministry, he informed them, in a spirit
wotehy of his noble sire, that though he should still continue in
give them a discriminating and independent support, he could.
not disguise troth himself that they were rapidly los ng their
friends, and that neither the House nor the country
reeosed in them the confidence necessary to an effie
cient Government. The acknowledgment of Lard Melbourne,
that "the worst possible Administration was that which
could net carry its own measures," was abundantly corrobo-
rated, not only by Mr. Macaulay's confession of the weakness,
uncertainty, and failure which night after night paralyzed their
vulgar Liberalism, but by a series of Parliamentary discoin-
fitures which, while ratifying in thick succession the unguard-
ed admissions of those Ministers, showed that their continued.
retention of
.office, in spite of. ouch defeats, was as humiliating
to their personal honour as it was repugnant to the Constitu-
tion of the country. Considering,•then, that the first part of
Sir Robert Peel's motion has been repeatedly assented to by
the Ministers themselves, the question naturally arises, what
are the subterfuges by which they will sleek to parry the second
part of it, which really contains its sting? Why, with the
view of showing that their refusal to bow to the reiterated dis-
missals which they have received from Parliament, how much
secret. it may have violated the theory of the Constitution, has
at least been sanctioned by a number of weighty precedents,
they will doubtless refer us not only to the case of Mr. Pitt
in 1783, but to the example of Mr. Perceval in 1810, and
finally, to Sir Robert Peel's own procedure its 1830.
POST.—Never was a more shameless falsehood uttered
than that of the Whig-Radical Ministerialists that the senti-
ment of the people of England is in favour of the late and
present conduct of the Melbourne Government. It neither is
30, nor is at all likely that it should be. In the first place,
every intelligent Englishman knows that the late advocacy of
free-trade measures by the Ministry is in direct opposition to
what they have advocated on previous occasions, and the
English people de not like such changes. Even if they were
in favour of the new policy—which they are not—they would
not much approve of seeing it carried into effect by men who
have hitherto given it their utmost resistance. It is no nese
thing to have submitted to the house of Commons measures
for the more ready admission of foreign sugars, foreign timber,
and foreign corn. Almost every session these measures have
been brought forward, and the leading men of the Melbourne
Government have resisted them. It is not because they now
choose to adopt them that the English people will approve of
their conduct, and desire to keep them in office. In the
second place it is not believed, nor is there any reason to be-
mewleve that these measures have been brought forward from any
y-obtained conviction thee they would be for the public
good. The general belief is, and it is a very well-founded lie-
lief, that had not Ministers been very much afraid of losing
their places, they would have brought forward no such mea-
sures. It is not for the country's good, but for their own (sup-
posed) party and personal advantage, that these measures have
been brought forward. They expected (but, as usual, they
miscalculated) that the proposal of such measures would give
them that popularity without which they were aware that a
long continuance in office was scarcely possible. At all events
tbis popularity—if by any means it could be attained—
afforded the best chance. It is not because Ministers are
at last driven to play a desperate game, and to plunge into
the most palpable inconsistencies for - the chance of popular
support, that the people of England (who see through
the trick) will support them. In the third place it is not ge-
nerally believed (because all ground of rational belief is quite
the other way), that Ministers, when they proposed their new
measures with respect to sugar,' timber, and corn, had the
slightest intention, or the remotest expectation, of carrying
any one of them through Parliament. It is the general, cone•
fident, and reasonable belief that they proposed these measures
well knowing`that they had no more chance of carrying them
than they had of ascertaining the, degree of heat in the planet.
Saturn by means of the thermometers hung up in the House
of Commons. Now, the people of England are not likely to
approve of a Government which brings forward measures
which it knows it cannot carry. This is all very well for the
Opposition, whose business is merely to affect the public mind,
and not to carry on the Government. lint they who are en-
trnsted by the Sovereign with the carrying on of the.npruli
business, ought not to degrade the Crown by the briangAneister
for-
ward of unsuccessful experiments. Indeed,
rile
brings forward a proposition as a part of.
the practice Of
vernment for carrying on the public service, slie.dineine of Go..
the Constitution implies that ho will carry it, or yield the GO7
vernment into other hands.

ADVERTISER.—The vanity of human expeFlations was
never more forcibly illustrated than in the last nights grand
party motion of Sir Robert Peel, for a vote of want of confi.:'
deuce in the Ministry. It was brought on with so much
feebleness, and with so much coyness, by the Right Honour.
able Gentleman, as to produce neither excitement among his
h
supporters nor despair among his opponents. It was empha.
tically a dull speech—abounding in instances not pertinent to
the occasion—a speech of points, not of principles—which
touched himself full as much as his opponents, and which was
felt by the eager adventurers of his own varty to be a sore dis-
couragement, while his antagonists were simply amused by the
ponderous incapacity of the Tory Goliath, that was to have de-
stroyed, root aud.braneh, by. one fell swoop, all the Ministerial
forces. As we expected, Sir Robert Peel only succeeded
'in
convincing his friends that so long as the policy of their party
should be left in the hands of a leader so cautious and prudent,
not to say timorous and reluctant, theirreversion to office must
be far distant, and if obtained, not tenable for long. He

on- the other hand, it must be admitted, seemed anxior,s
to declare off; and in several parts of his speech, indi-
cated an inclination, if not a determination, to make
himself independent of all advice or control, la lio:ilsr
it -should issue. -from the thundering Thnes,. or hi 3 o-.7,i,
teasing and impracticable supporter. Upon the whole, the iin.-
pression left on our minds, and on many others of all parties
with whom we have since conversed, is, that Sir Robert Peel
had obeyed unwillingly the directions of his party; in a corn 'se
which he could not sanction; and it is indeed obvious that the
Tories could gain - nothing, whilst they might lose all the-de-
lusion in their favour resulting from the temporary adhesion of
a few anti-slavery, and Corn-law people, who for the nonce
swelled his majority on the sugar duties-debate. Sh:ce ant
majority less thanthat must, pro tanto, diminish its value, us;;1
show, that though it indicated the sense of the House upon the
occasion, it was not a test of the estimation in which the Po-
vernment and their policy were generally held : on the ot-aer
hand,.if the Ministers should obtain a majority, the foriner
decision would be wholly reversed, and the .Ministry would be
reinstated in Parliamentary confidence, as well as in that of
the people. But the speech, like all Sir Robert Peel's expo-
sitions, indicated more by its omissions than by what it; con..
tained. 'He avoided every matter of substance. He confined
.himself to the technicalities and conventional practices of Par..
fiaruent ; as if the people care one jot for these, except so far
as they coincide with and enforce the objects for which Parlia-
ments exist, viz., the wish and will of the people.. It was, io
short, a complete begging of the question; of what ought to
be the rule.and practice of Parliament in such matters.
HERALD.—It will be seen from the report which we put).-
liskin this day's Herald, of the speech of Sir Robert feel,
last night, that our anticipations (as they have been recorded
from slay to, day for" some time past), have not been ii:sap-
pointed. The Right Hon. Baronet began by showing how
great was the extent of the political imbecility of the existing-
Government, to which he proposed to apply a remedy (by
putting on record the remarkable resolution with which he
concluded), and how incalculable were the amount and the
operation of the consequences to be anticipated from the affir-
mation of such a resolution. It may be important atanotber op-
portunity, to consider, in the first place, what were the princi-
pal results to be thus looked to, in contemplation of the exigen-
cies of our present position, and what were the remedial measures
which were to be applied to it, in reference to the he-
niediate.ispect of political affairs. And here 'we cannot help
remarking, that on no former occasion have we observed a

more interesting or effective example of that faculty of order
andvarrangement which is his peculiar forte, than iS':r Robert
Peel displayed last night in his mode of bringing under the
notice of-all parties in the House his Bill of indictment against
the (present) Government. To borrow a phrase Irvin
.Southey,•he fairly called " the great in office"—to judgment; -
And it.must be allowed he was no flatterer of those wha rise
in the wort; by vehement professions, at the expense of per-
formance, and practical duty. It will be seen that he plunged
in medias res. He gave himself up to his subject. There WaS
no'! beating-about the bush;" no mistake about the sort
game. whith homeant to put up. To preclude the possibility
of any such mistake, he had worded his resolution in terms
which ".all who run might read." Ho touched slightly on
that strange story of frequent defeat and humiliation uhich the
printed lists of divisions (session 1841) have so emphatically

CORN-LAWS.
• (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.
DUBLIN,•MAY 25, 1841.—1 t gives me great pleasure to in-
form you of the result of two County Meetings held )ester-
day on the subject of the Corn-laws. You are aware that
the Tories calculated on a reaction in their favour in Ireland,
in consequence of the proposed change in the present corn
duties, and accordingly that party convened the counties of
Roscommon and Galway, by a requisition to their respective
High Sheriffs, to petition against the Ministerial plan. But
the attempt was defeated, and in both places resolutions were
passed in favour of the Government policy, though not ilpflg-
tog themselves to the exact amount of 4 fixed duty. The
:amendments• to the monopolists' propositions were moved in
Roscommon by Oliver Grace, of Mantui, and seconded
by Daniel Ferral, of Beechvrood ; and in Galway, by Sir Mi-
chael IX Bellew, and Andrew Browne, men holding property
in the agricultural districts to the amount of 40,0001. per ;Iv;-
num.. This fat shows that in Ireland there is no hope for
the factien.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY

CHRONICLE.—AIthough the notice is precisely the same;
as the last, it bad rather a favourable influence cri the Money
Market, Consols for money having advanced to 90, buyers ;
the closing price,however, was 90, rather sellers.
The monopolists are at a heavy discount in the City, anti
daily sinking lower in public estimation. The public are quite
satisfied that, whatever men may form the Ministry, they meet
speedily proceed to a revision of the tariff to restore the de-
pressed corelition of trade and manufactures. They perceive
perfectly that this 'course must have been adopted before new
it we had not been able to open new markets in South America
and the Australian colonies. Those sources are found to be
insufficient to postpone the recourse to this remedy rimy
longer, the falling off in the Continental demand.
anti the drain of gold for Foreign Corn—being much too
heavy for the counterpoise—and no alternative re-
mains, • except to take a decided step in favour of
free trade. The objections raised by the monopolistsezisru fall
dead from their press. The argument so often raised I;,y them
that foreigners ail' not take our manufactures in exiihanee for
cornmid timber, has lost efficacy, because it is kneiVii that it.
wss our refusal to take their corn and timber on fair terms that
compelled them to turn their attention to, and to invest. capi-
tal •in, manufactures. To persist in their past line of coer-
cive policy %%Mild therefore only compel the Germans to cozo
tinue in the same line of rivalry, whereas, if we should open
our ports to the produce of their soil on the payment of mo-
derate import duties, they would apply themselves assiduously
and permanently to the cultivation of it, while our manure,.
turers would in the same way reap the benefit ensuing ire te
a greatly ineseased demand for their goods. This is the vitae
now taken by eyery impartial man here. We believe it is the vifv.
taken by memmy pe-sens of all shades of political opinions, and
that it is useless to attempt to conduct time Government of the
country on any other principle. Every one we speak to pre-
fers, a moderate fixed duty on corn to a sliding scale, because
it will steady prices, and relieve the market from the flue-
tuat'ons produced by the averages which expose the home
grower and consumer to the mercy of speculators, who make
fictitious sales to raise or depress prices, as may beat suit their
own views at the time. While a sliding scale exists the
averages must exist, and while they do the corn trade can be
nothing but gambling. A fixed duty is looked upon as the
only practical remedy -for this enormous abuse. It is considered
not only the sole effectual remedy for that abuse, but also the
only way in which the price of corn may be kept at a price of
about 50s. to 555. per quarter for English wheat, quite enough to
'keep land at a fair value, and to give the tenants a remu-
nerative price, while it will protect them from the ruinous
consequences that follow from a glut under the present sys-
tem:. Indeed, it is thought that in the course of time tlme
supply and. demand will so find their level, that the hone,
market will never suffer either from scarcity or superabun-
dance eitStipply, for the deficiency in one country would le•
made good by the supply in another, and thus all will en pie
the benefits of free intercourse, and a choice of markets. Uwe.,
facts aro palpable to the people, and they fully understate}
them. • The City monopolists are thus driven to a corner, and
in their defeat are glad to catch at straws, indeed at anything
likely to assist them even for a moment. Thus we
find them raking up old stories, founded upon }titers
from correspondents regarding the claims of certain owners of
transporti during the war for restitution of light-house dues,
from which they erroneously claimed exemption. The amount
in question was retained by the Board of Transports, and ulti-
mately, it seems, paid by the Treasury to the Trinity House,
on bond to the Crown, that it might be made forthcoming to
thoTFties who should be found legally entitled tes it by the
opinion of the twelve Judges. That opinion has never
; been ,obtained, but we have no doubt they will Ile-
cide against the exemption ; for, although freighted spe-
cially for the purpose of carrying troops transports clearly dc.
not come under the description of ships exempted !rote
light-house dues. 'rho Monopolist Journals, hoe ever, repre-
sent this very simple matter as one " deeply affecting the
character of the present Administration regarding their en-
gagements with the shipping interest of the country," More
perfect twaddle could not be penned. The law is open to tl:e
owners of these transport ships, if they be not satisfied to abitle
by the case of' Clarke.
We do not know whether our Contemporary has given Oro
facts correctly or not. But we have been content to take Jhcax
in his own way; and having done so, this is all vse make of

pressure for money, which it is calculated, at least twee time,
to relieve, has rendered the measure a very opportune one to a
large class of persons.
The Commissioners of Sewers resolved, at the meeting they
held last Tuesday, to enforce " Michael Angelo Taylor's Act,"
and to remove., if possible, the deformity which the Bank of
. England his thrust in the way of the City improvements, by
allowing the Sun Fire-office to pass the proper boundary in the
erection of their new building. The solicitor is probably by
this time instructed to proceed, and the first step is a notice to
the opposite parties that a jury will be formed to assess the
value of the ground prior to a purchase. Havingthonocceitb3cg willun

IWENING EDITION

THE ,4 PRESIDENT."

We have been favoured by Captain M`Leod, of the Ta-
gus Peninsular Mail-steamer, with the following extracts
'Tom the log-book of the Portuguese brig Conde de Palma,
from Rio de Janeiro to Lisbon. It contains but little in-
formation in addition to that already published, but, in
the present anxious state of the public mind, everything
which may be supposed to bear on the question of the
safety of this long-expected vessel will be read with
interest :
" On Friday, the 23d day of April, at 4 p.m., in lat.
31 deg. 24 sec. N., and long. by chronometer 40 degs.
83 sec. W., of Greenwich, saw a very large steamer under
canvass, without showing her colours or making any sig-
nals ; the raddlewheels were not in motion, nor was any
smoke issuing from her funnel.
"Next morning, at six o'clock, saw her again, under
two square topsails (fore and main) and latteen sails (1. c.
fore and aft), steering N.N.E. ; the wind was at east, with
moderate weather."
On the 25th the wind veered to N.W., and blew strong,
which would prevent the said steamer reaching the Wes-
tern Isles.
The following questions were asked by Capt. M`Leod
of Catain Almeida of the above-named vessel, and his
answers are annexed
What number of masts had the steamer ?—Three.

How wits she painted ?—AII dark colour.
Did she appear to be under her own or jury-masts ?
Her own.

What colour was her funnel ?—Not certain.
Did you observe any water issuing from her scuppers,
as if they were pumping ?—None observed.
What was the nearest distance you were to her at any
time ?—Four English miles. •
Did her -bulwarks, or any part of her, appear to have
suffered from had weather ?—Did not appear to have suf-
fered.
Are you positive they did not show any colours, or
make any signal indicative of wishing to speak with you ?
—None whatever.

How many knots an hour do you think they were go-
ing ?—Three or four knots (miles).
Did they appear to hold a good wind, or make a great
deal of leeway ?—A great deal of leeway.
Mention the sails she had set on the first day you saw
her ?—Flying jib, jib, foretopmast, staysail, square fore-
sail, topsail, topgallantsail, and fore and aft foresail.
Mention what sails she had on the second day ?—Fore
and aft mainsail, square maintopsail, and mizen ditto.
Could you have communicated with the steamer on
bog). daps ?—Yes, we could.
Had the steamer a figure-head ?—Could not distinguish.
Did you observe any boats hoisted up on board of her ?
—One quarter-boat.
How long did the northwest wind continue which
sprung up on the 25th ?—Five days ; afterwards it was
west and W.S.W.
When did you make the land, and did it agree with
your reckoning ?—On the sth of May, and agreed ex-
actly, with the reckoning.
How did the steamer bear off when you first saw her ?
-2-N.E. by N. four or five miles.
How did she bear on the morning of the 24th, at six
o'clock, and what distance ?—N.N.W. fivo or six miles.
Did you view the steamer through a telescope ?—Yes.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TILE DAILY PATERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—The Times takes the very unnecessary
trouble of trying to prove that the parallel which we
drew between the measures of Pitt's government for
the defeat of the Fox and North Coalition, and those
now expected—does not run on all fours. The fact
is, no such strong and questionable course is contem-
plated as that of the Tory King of those days, and
the Tory Saint, or idol, of his choice. No such dag-
gers are as yet drawn between the Crown and the
faithful Commons. It is now no question of turning
out Ministers in whom the House of Commons had
confidence for a young and untried Minister in whom
it had • none. It is no question of bringing the
will of the Monarch (rather extra-constitutionally)
to bear, in the Lords, on measures which had
been passed by the Commons. The question is,
whether Ministers, in whom the House had confidence
last year,—in whom the House opened the present
session with very sufficient confidence, and very suffi-
cient reasons for it, in the results of their policy in the
interim—the question is, whether those Ministers
have not that confideuce—and if not, why not ?
The votes on the Irish Bills afforded no demon-
stration of a transfer of the confidence of the House
of Commons from the Whig to the Tory party ;
and the result was rather a drawn battle between par-
ties than anything else. Whigs voted in Tory ranks, and
Tories assented to Whig speeches. Neither is the San-
don vote a sufficient reason for resignation. There,
too, the Tories were enabled to borrow a strength which
was not their own. Ministers have a right to place the
ensemble of their measures before Parliament, and to
make it clear whether it is for ono, or for all of them,
that they are said to have lost the confidence of the House
of Commons. The Sovereign also has a right to know
the grounds on which that confidence is withdrawn—
if withdrawn it has been; because that knowledge must
guide the choice of future councillors. Finally, the
Crown has a right to exercise its prerogative of appeal
to the country by a dissolution, if the " want of con-
fidence " of the House of Commons is founded on rea-
sons of the justice of which the Royal mind may not be
satisfied without a constitutional reference to the sense
of the nation. The whole question as to the propriety
of a dissolution depends on the question as to the pro-
priety, and necessity, of the measures on which Ministers
are to go to the country. If those measures are proper
and necessary, and if their authors are prepared to prove
them so, what constitutional objection can there be to com-
pleting the demonstration,and then enabling the constituent
body to affirm or reject their views ? Is there any person
who believes these measures really important, and who
does not believe they will be forwarded by the course
which is taken by Ministers ? Is it the friends or the
enemies of these measures who complain of that course ?
If the friends, then we will acknowledge the justice of
all that is urged by their enemies. If the enemies,
then we will only say that we never expected their
sanction ' • and that if Ministers had received it, there
would be a strong presumption they had gone wrong.
STANDARD.—We deny that there is any unwilling-
ness on the part of Sir Robert Peel or the Conservatives
to meet a discussion of the Corn-laws, though, for the ex-
cellent reasons assigned by Lord Melbourne in the pre-
fixed passage, they might not choose to provoke one. It
is very stupid, however, to surmise of Sir Robert Peel
and his friends that they have an expectation of evading
the threatened discussion. Thoy well know that, what-
ever may be the fate of Sir Robert Peel's motion, the ene-
mies of the public tranquillity will have both the power
and the will to move the subject of the Corn-laws, and
with just the same effect, whether they occupy seats on
the right hand or on the left of the Speaker. If, in-
deed, the Conservatives had the power to prevent a
discussion, the effect of which must be, as Lord Mel-
bourne says, to cause " a most violent struggle," to " stir
society to its foundations, leaving behind every sort of bit-
terness and animosity," " to convulse society to its centre,"
"to excite man against man," " leaving behind the deepest
feelings of discord and animosity," &c. &c. &c.—if,
we say, the Conservatives possessed the power to
stay this deluge of social evil, it would, no doubt, be
their duty to exercise that power; but they have it
not, and the utmost that they can hope to do is to
limit the opportunities of those by whom the pest is let
loose, for doing which the conduct and circumstances of
the criminals, in matters not connected with the Corn-
laws, supplies the proper occasion. The Morning
Chronicle, we are pleased to see, anticipates that the Mi-
nisters will be defeated on this night's motion :—" We do
not mean to say that we think the monopolists cannot
muster a majority. We expect they will. They are
not amongst the most helpless classes of her Majesty's
subjects. No Ministry has ever yet been encountered by
so formidable a conspiracy of sinister interests." The
sinister interests are the landed interest, the colonial in-
terest, the shipping interest, the anti-slavery interest,
and—why should we suppress an interest once of some
consideration in England ? the Protestant interest.
Against these Ministers choose to array their force of
money-jobbers, millowners, and Romanists ; but this does
not fix the character of conspiracy upon the combined
English and Protestant interests. This, however, by
the way.
COURIER.—A weak and incoherent attempt has been
made by the Ministerial papers to justify the tenacious re-
tention of office by their patrons, in despite of the public
opprobrium in which held, by an assimilation of their po-
sition with that of the illustrious Pitt, in his memorable
struggle against the disgraceful coalition of Mr. Fox and
Lord North in 1783. We should be little inclined to meddle
with this wretched juggle of distorted facts and per-
verted reasoning, which otherwise in more parti-
cular detail has been successively and conclusively dis-
posed of by our contemporaries of the Standard, the
Herald, and the Times, but that we have reason to
believe Ministers have had the audacity. to impose this
mendacious parallel, dressed up in specious form, upon
their Royal Mistress, as their justification for retaining
office against the declared inclinations and without the
confidence of the people, and, moreover, by way of in-
dir,,,ct, but well understood, exhortation, that they should
be regarded as victims of devotion to the royal will,
whom, under similar circumstances, her Majesty's august
grandfather, George 111., of glorious memory, would have
upheld with unflinching firmness aganist the voice and
the condemnation of Parliament. However for the
time, these daring misrepresentations of history may be
successful, we cannot doubt that the truth must ulti-
mately prevail when that illustrious lady, mistrusting
the honesty of councillors by whom both royalty and
the country have been so often and disgracefully
misled and betrayed, shall apply the energies of her own
Royal mind to the study of those exemplary passages in
the reign of her noble grandfather. She will then find
that an unprincipled faction, in one House of Parlia-
ment only, had coalesced to cripple the Royal preroga-
tive and to deprive the Monarch of the faculty of se-
lecting his own servants ; that the people at large
were more indignant and decisive still in reproba-
tion of the nefarious project and conspiracy than
their betrayed Sovereign ; that they earnestly and re-
peatedly prayed him and his Minister to deliver them
from the scourge of an insolent majority and a packed
House of Commons ; that that House was not dissolved
until obstinately persisting to obstruct the public busi-
ness; and that, when dissolved, the people amply justi-
fied tie appeal of the Monarch and his Minister, as well
as their own previous addresses in reprobation of the fac-
tion, by the return of an overwhelming majority of good
men and true to a new Parliament.

THE STOPPAGE OF THE SALOP

AND NORTH WALES BANK.

SHREWSDUET, TUESDAY EVENING.—The excitement
consequent upon this unfortunate occurrence has consi-
derably increased since yesterday, and sufferers from a
distance continue to arrive in this town hourly, in the
hopes of finding the calamity of a less wide-spread and
severe extent than rumour had assigned it. Rumour for
once, however, had not exaggerated in this instance. The
liabilities of the bank are far greater, and the probabili-
ties of their liquidation far less, than had been antici-
pated when the stoppage was first announced yesterday
in a hand-bill, of which the following is a copy, affixed
to the outer door of the establishment in the Market-
square :

" SALOP AND NORTH WALES DANK.

" Messrs. Price and Edwards deeply deplore the ne-
cessity they find themselves under of closing the bank
and suspending their payments. This announcement is
made, as may be supposed, with much pain, but a sense
of duty to the public and themselves unfortunately ren-
ders it necessary. So far from having at any time con-
sidered the affairs of the bank in a state of confusion or
derangement, Messrs. Price and Edwards have always
been led to regard them as not merely satisfactory, but
as flourishing and prosperous, and it was only upon a
very recent investigation of the accounts that they had
any reason to believe otherwise. After such investiga-
tion, and a deliberate consideration of the circumstances,
the course they have now taken appeared to be the only
proper one left them to adopt ; and whilst they un-
feignedly regret the inconvenience it will occasion to
many parties, they beg to add, that every available ex-
ertion shall be used with a view to the fulfilEnent of
their engagements._
"[Corn Market, Shrewsbury May 24, 1841."
Many melancholy cases of 'hardship have come to
light to-day, and others still more affecting are now
looked for. So divided is public opinion as to the pro-
babilities of a favourable dividend, that in some instances
four sovereigns have been refused for a 51. note, and in
others 1001. in notes have been offered for 20 sovereigns.
Report variously estimates the liabilities at from thirty-
five thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand pounds,
Even supposing the latter to be the correct sum, it is
thought that the private fortune of one of the surviving
partners would be more than equivalent to its discharge,
but for some recent family arrangements, which are
likely to lead to some heavy expensive litigation between
that gentleman or his heirs, and the creditors of the
estate.

have a material influence on the approaching election for
