WILLIAM Ckx.rol4—a name of most glorious and
humanising import—a memory as

mother-tongue which his

globe

CAXTON, the first printer in these islands, is to AZ
commemorated by the erection of a monument; and
that monument is at once to be a memento of the
great labours ci WILMA NI CAXTON, and is in an
especial manner to attest the gratitude of the million
to the art which that memorable philanthropist
was the first to introduce to the knowledge of our
ancestors. On the original announcement of such an
intention we expressed briefly, but as emphatically
as we could, -our exultation at the proposed move-
ment. On Saturday an actual step was taken for the
commencement of this most national testimonial, a
numerous meeting having been convened during the
afternoon of that day in the Great Room of the
Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, with
many distinguished men upon the platform,
and the noble and accomplished First Com-
missioner of der MAJgSTY'S Woods and Forests as

i _

chairman. Nothing could have tended more to con-
firm the million in a determination to testify in some
brilliant way their appreciation of the wonderful
good entailed upon posterity by WILLIAm CARTON
than the impassioned and eloquent utterances of Lord
MoarErrr, and of the American Minister Mr. BAN-
CROFT. In the expressions enunciated by both those
graceful and earnest orators there was the glow
of benevolence, the colouring of rhetoric, and
the fervour of a sympathising and poetical tempera-
ment. We are gratified that upon an occasion in-
augurative of a demonstration so noble and beautiful
as the one which is now being made of the world's
gratitude to CARTON, there were present men like
Lord MORPETH and Mr. BANCROFT, men who, from
their official position as well as from their mental en-
dowments, were peculiarly calculated to impart a
graceful and yet a vigorous character to such a
movement as the one proposed. In acknowledging
our obligation, however, at the very outset to the
Rev. H. MILMAN for having been instrumental in
rousing the torpid memories of his countrymen to
that eventful morning when a wayfarer knocked at
the gate of Westminster Abbey and begged a shelter
for the new-born discovery, we must protest against
the monopoly of credit in the notion of a
monument to CAXTON instituted on behalf of
Mr. MILMAN by the supporters of that
Reverend Gentleman. Let it not be forgotten
that the man who originally started the idea of such
a testimonial of honour to the name and fame of
WILLIAM CARTON was CHARLES KNIGHT. If the
Rev. H. MILMAN were to maintain a precedence on
the part of his proposition, we should at once impeach
him of plagiarism ; but it cannot for an instant be
imagined that the Rev. Gentleman has, in defiance
of dates and printed sentences, any intention
of monopolizing the credit of the suggestion, or of
filching from not the least distinguished of the spi-
ritual sons of CARTON—CHARLES KNIGHT—the ho-
nour of propounding the propriety of some public
token of our admiration to the most venerable, and
perhaps, the most indefatigable of our native printers
Born in the fertile wealds of Kent, bred among
the " broad and rude English of his day," WIL-
LIAM CARTON imbibed, as Lord MoRrETU beautifully
observed, " much of the racy and hearty spirit of the
soil." A rude, nervous, industrious, enlightened,
generous-hearted Englishman was this WILLIAM
CARTON, to whose exertions, to whose individual exer-
tions are traceable all the countless and inestimable
blessings which have streamed in a copious,
and fructifying, and inexhaustible current
from the printing-press. As was appro-
priately observed on Saturday, the glorious song
of CHAUCER was given to the wide world
first by that press of CAXTON, which he constructed
and worked under the sheltering roof of 'Westminster
Abbey—to that press is owing the verse of CMAUCER
and of LIDGATE—tO the example afforded by that
press are attributable the extension and diffusion,
amongst the populous nations of the earth, of the
works of our immortal ancestors, of our poets,
of our philosophers, of our moralists, of our
biographers, of our ethical scholars, and of oratorical
and didactic writers. Through the medium of WIL-
LIAM CARTON, as it were, our most illustrious and
wonderful countrymen, oar Shaksperes, our Miltons,
our Bacons, our Lockes, our Boyles, our Spen-
cers, our Newtcns, our Raleighs, have shone
forth with a perpetual and undiminishable
• glory, scattering the ignorance of centuries by
their wisdom, breathing through the discords
of vulgar life the melodies of their matchless numbers,
•or speaking sensibly to the hearts of generations in
the diction of demigods and with the truthfulness of
oracles. Never was national benefactor so entitled to
the reverenee of his posterity as WILLIAM CAXTON
is to ours. Not for us, therefore, shall it be to evi-
dence our admiration for his greatness by the erection
of some abortive squirt or attenuated lamp-
post. A monument let there be to WILLIAM
C Nirox—and one especially at the western
front of Westminster Abbey, " that spot where the
sun as he descends in the evening casts his last look
on the most venerable building in our island ;" but let
us not, in the name of common decency, erect to his
memory a paltry syringe like the fountains near the
unfinished Nelson Column, or a bungling gas-
light like that which smoked the windows and peri-
odically cracked the panes of glass at the extremity of
I Charing-cross. A colossal statue, modelled by
TIIORWALDSEN, now attests in Alayence the love of
the fatherland for the fame of GUTTENBURG. Let the
ruddy light of the sunset, as it envelopes the ancient
fane of Westminster with the glories of each de-
parting day, shine, too, on some colossal statue or
symbolic structure erected before the portals of the
evening to the memory of WILLIAM CARTON. Let
the shadow of the votive granite fall upon the walls
and mingle with the glooms of the old Abbey, in
whose cloisters toiled, in the days bygone, the first
and greatest of our English printers. Not for him a
fountain or a gas-pipe, but a memento worthy in
some measure of his immortality.

-Ie l'All not make some exer-
tions
in ho'.iourable independence ?
and at least endeavour to
Eltral culture of flax throughout all parts of
tsiuopTnpshoerotng
Ireland--the zealous and efficient attention by
which that valuable crop can be brought to
the utmost perfection, by which not only the
fibre but the seed may be preserved, and
every portion made applicable to the beneficial uses of
which it is capable, will furnish the solution of the
enigma—will be found the- real cure for Ireland's
distresses. The tourist throughout the country is
struck with the extraordi nary differences visible in
the appearance of the inhabitants. In the southern,
eastern, western, and even parts of the northern
districts, he sees around, him on every side a half-
starved people, exhibiting all the indications of the
most squalid poverty—their wretched huts scarcely
fit habitations for the swine that are admitted to
a participation in the shelter—their clothing a mass
of filthy rags, insufficient to ward off the inclemency
of the weather, or to preserve even the decencies of
life, while their attenuated and worn aspects evince
a total absence of all the comforts and an insufficiency
of even the necessaries of existence ; with this he
also perceives a listless languor, a lounging laziness, a
general indolence that seems to pervade the very at-
mosphere. If he inquires into the state of the
country, he is informed of riots .and bloodshed,
of agrarian outrages and nocturnal disturbances.
While proceeding on his journey let him enter
into Armagh or Downshire, and he is indeed
astonished at the change. He finds a cheerful
1 and contented peasantry, well-fed and well-clad, clean
and well-ventilated cottages, with every fitting office,
and all the conveniences of domestic life, every
1 person employed, and even the children, contributing
by their exertions to the general fund. It is almost
unnecessary to say that peace and tranquillity will
invariably be found in these happy localities. To
what magical influences are these blessings to be
ascribed? He is in the seat of the linen
manufacture, the district in which the growth
of flax is diligently and sedulously attended
to ; there is no other apparent cause by which
the great and extraordinary difference can be ac-
counted for. He may, therefore, fairly presume that
it is ascribable thereto, and if by a separate calcula•
tion he can show that the cultivation of flax would
lead to such results, that fair presumption will be
changed into a moral certainty: We hope on a future
occasion to show that such is the case, to point out the
many advantages flowing therefrom, the reasons why
it should be brought into universal use, and that, as
we have already stated, it furnishes most obvious
means for the speedy removal of Irish distress, and of
Irish difficulties.

The deepest interest is still manifested as to the
state of Ireland and the prospects of the approaching
harvest. Much controversy exists as to the appear-
ance -of the potato crop, and the probability of its
escaping the fatal taint that has already shown itself,
beyond the possibility of doubt, in some districts.
The fearful consequences of that mysterious visita-
tion to those who fell more immediately within its in-
fluence, the frightful destitution and suffering to
which so many of our Irish brethren were exposed,
the number of victims who prematurely perished
from the combined effects of famine and pestilence,
must excite the anxious desire of every man possessed
of the common feelings of humanity for the adoption
of any system by which the chances of a recurrence
of such heart-rending scenes might be materially
lessened, or rendered wholly impossible ; while the
increased prices of every sort of provisions, the de-
ranged state of the money market, and the consequent
difficulties by which every branch of trade and manu-
facture is affected, the people thrown out of employ-
ment, and their comforts abridged, not only in Ire-
land, but in this country also, must awaken the appre-
hensions of even the most callous and insensible,
who from merely selfish motive, will be
actuated by similar impulses. There is one
class, however, to whom the question is of the
most vital importance, whose very existence is de-
pendent on the speedy and safe solution of the pro-
blem. The proprietors of the soil in our sister island
are indeed placed in the vanguard. They will have
to sustain the first brunt of the encounter, and on the
manner in which they meet the difficulty, the extent
and efficiency of their preparation, their own safety
must depend. By the new Poor-law for Ireland the
great principle is recognised that the property of the
country must sustain its poverty ; that the necessities
of all must be provided for, before any portion can
be made applicable to the luxuries or the superfluities
of the few. They must see, then, that the means of use-
ful and profitable employment is placed within the
reach of all, so that those who would otherwise un-
productively consume the national resources may be
enabled to earn their own livelihood by the exercise
of their own honest industry. Throughout almost
the entire kingdom the potato has hitherto formed
the chief, if not the only, article of food for the agri-
cultural population, and the cerial products of the
land have been chiefly devoted to the payment of the
landlords' rent. This cannot now be the case to any-
thing like the extent of former years. The greater
portion must be applied to the maintenance of the
people, and the claim for rent must be provided for
from other sources.

The Afoniteur Grec of the 30th ult. has been re-
ceived. It expresses very forcibly the dissatisfaction
of the Athenian Cabinet with the discussion in the
House of Commons, which was elicited by the motion
of Lord JOHN MANNERS.

The Union Monarchique asserts that the French
Government has received dispatches announcing that
the Porte had accepted the proffered mediation of the
Vienna Cabinet, for the reconciliation of the rulers of
the Ottoman empire and the Hellenic kingdom.

Madrid papers of the 7th have arrived.
Monsignor BRUNELLI is described as being still
actively engaged in endeavouring to reconcile the
QUEEN and her ill-matched husband. Fire and snow
we fear are more capable of union.

Both the Faro and Herald() contain accounts of
the capture of the forces and property of the Junta.
Otherwise than in the expression of joy at the
honourable reception of General NARTAEZ at the
French Court, and his friendly intercourse with the
young Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER, the
papers are barren of intelligence.

The Paris journals of Friday and Saturday have
reached us with their usual punctuality. From the
latest rumours in the capital it would seem that there
is little probability of a very protracted existence for
the Ministry. Guizoz's authority is slipping through
his fingers—like the handful of sand, the tighter he
grasps it the more quickly and the more glibly it
runs out from the pressure. The back of the Admi-
nistration was nearly broken by the division in the
Chamber of Peers upon the Medical Reform Bill.
So desperately was the Cabinet driven by this division
that, according to the Opposition newspapers, the
whippers-in of the Chambers went even, as it were,
to the bedchambers of decrepid nobles, and had their
enfeebled and paralysed bodies conveyed to the
benches of the Legislative Chambers by their at-
tendants. Notwithstanding which extraordinary
precaution the Ministerial majority was miserably
small.

The various journals are busily occupied in the
discussion of the probable consequence of this very
visible decadence of power. The future is indeed to
them a mirror in which they already see the reflected
downfal of the once powerful but now powerless
GUIZOT.

The Presse contains the following article on the
present state of the corn markets :
" We announced a few days since that a slight change
of temperature would be sufficient to raise the price of
corn. Already, unfortunately, our anticipations have
been realised in Belgium. The last markets of Courtrai,
Grammont, Liege, Louvain, and Termonde, experienced
a rise of from 2f. to 3f. the hectolitre. One week of cold
wind has raised exaggerated fears in the minds of the
consumers, and the speculators have taken advantage of
it. It is, moreover, easy to excite a panic when a con-
siderable deficiency of provisions is supposed to exist.
In England, notwithstanding the continuance of fine
weather, a considerable rise in the price of wheat has
taken place. In Holland prices are looking down. An
inspection of the crops has taken place by order of the
Agricultural Congress assembled at the Hague, and the
appearances throughout the provinces are extremely fa-
vourable. The growing wheat has assumed the best
aspect—the rye promises such a crop as has not been
seen for many years—the potatoes are flourishing, and
no symptom of disease has yet been discovered. It does
not appear that the temperature has producd any bad
effect in France. The corn markets continue to decline
throughout the kingdom. In Ilbr East particularly, the
fall in prices is remarkable. Within the last ten days
wheat has fallen from 9f. to 12f. the hectolitre at Metz,
and more than 20f. at Strasburg."

The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter from Palma of the 3d instant :

" The squadron of evolution commanded by the
Prince de Joinville has made a short appearance in our
roads, and the few hours it remained were devoted to a
simple and affecting ceremony. The Prince had heard
last year that the small island of Cabrera, which had
been the prison and tomb of the French soldiers taken
prisoners by the Spaniards at Beylen, was strewed with
the bones of those unfortunate men, deprived of sepul-
ture. He was not able at the time to ascertain the fact,
having been apprised of it just as he was putting to
sea. Yesterday, however, the Prince had scarcely
reached the roads of Palma, when he dispatched the
steam- corvette Pluton to inquire if the information he
had received was correct, and, on the return of the ves-
sel, he issued the following order of the day The Com-
mander-in Chief has been informed that on several
points of the island of Cabrera human bones are seen
lying unburied—the sad relics of our unhappy country-
men taken prisoners at Baylen, and who died of misery
on that rock. The Pluton repaired, by my orders, to
the island, and then the officers and crew, guided by a
Spaniard who had witnessed the lingering agony of our
soldiers, collected a large quantity of bones scattered
over the soil and exposed to every insult. To-morrow
the Pluton will return to Cabrera with the Abbe Coque-
reau, to give Christian burial to those remains. The
admiral proposes to place a stone over them, with this
inscription:—' To the memory of the Frenchmen who
died at Cabrera—the squadron of evolution of 1847?
(Signed) The Vice-Admiral Commander-in-Chief, Fer-
dinand d'Orleans.'
" In consequence of that order, the Pluton returned
this morning to the island of Cabrera, and the com-
mander of the ship landed with the Abbe Coquereau,
chaplain of the squadron, to accomplish the religious mis-
sion confided to them. No pomp, no military show was
displayed to give to that funeral ceremony useless éclat. The
Pluton had her colours half mast high during divine service
and the prayers for the dead. Nothing could be more
affecting than to see the fifteen or twenty farmers who
constitute the entire population of that desolate island
kneeling by the side of our seamen, and joining in their
pious supplications. Mass having been said, and the re-
mains of our unhappy soldiers covered with earth, a
wooden cross was placed over the grave be indicate the
spot where the monument is to be erected. The officers
and men would not leave to the generosity of the Prince
the honour of defraying alone the costs of that modest
sepulture. A subscription, in which all participated,
produced 2,ooof.—sufficient to pay the expense. The
squadron demanded, moreover, that the name of the
Prince be introduced into the inscription. This was
a just homage rendered to the young admiral, who
had conceived the patriotic idea of of offering that pious
tribute to the memory of unhappy and forgotten fellow-
countrymen."

Is there, then, any description of crop easily ac-
cessible to the farmers and occupiers of land, that
will realise all these advantages—that will at the
same time afford the small landholders a means of
paying their rent, of obtaining a fair money return for
their produce, which will open a wide field for the pro-
fitable occupation of the people, which will retain in
Ireland large sums of money annually sent to other
lands in exchange for that which might be produced
at home, which will, if judiciously and extensively
cultivated, lead to the accumulation of national and
individual wealth, and bring into the country the
capital she so urgently requires—her chief
want. If all these objects can

On Saturday the official papers relating to Portu-
gal were laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies
by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The general
impression was that DAs ANTAS had voluntarily sur-
rendered himself to the bkckading squadron.
According to the Journal des Debuts the commis-
sion appointed to examine the charges against
General CUBIERES proceeded on; Friday, by the in-
terrogation of M. TESTS, formerly Minister of Public
Works, and also of a barrister named CAPUI.
The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railroad
during the last week amounted to 199,122 f.; those
of Paris and Rouen, to 202,600 f.; Rouen and Havre,
73,368 f.; Orleans and Tours, 80,116 f. ; Great North-
ern, 285,253 f., being a trifling diminution; and the
Amiens and Boulogne, 13,240 f.

The Paris Bourse was firm towards the termination
of business on Saturday.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House sat to-day at Twelve o'clock, for the pur-
pose of reading a thira time, in order that they might
be taken up to the Lords this evening, no less than fifty-
one railway Bills.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.

On the motion that the Committees have leave to sit,
notwithstanding the sitting of the House,
Sir It. INGLIS objected to the motion. It was quite
impossible that Members could do their duty in that
House and in Committee also. If the House was to sit
at so early an hour in the day, the Committee ought
not.

Mr. WILSON PATTEN said that the House sat at
so early an hour that morning for a special purpose,
namely, that of reading certain Bills a third time, into
which it had been necessary to introduce a clause in
conformity with the resolution passed the other day. II
there were any Bills, to the third reading of which there
were special objections, the third reading of those Bills
might be postponed, but it would be highly inconvenient
to prevent the sitting of Committees in consequence of
the sitting of the House.
Sir G. CLERK observed that it would be better for
the Hon. Baronet the Member for Oxford to move that
the House should now adjourn to four o'clock than put
an end to the sitting of the Committees for this day.
The motion was then agreed to, and leave was given
for the Committee to sit, notwithstanding the sitting of
the House.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITYQUARTER TO TH PEE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was very
firm, with a bare supply. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,000
were for export, and 1,000 on speculation. Railway Shares
improved again, and a large business was done in Midland
and North Western.

It was known on 'Change on Saturnay afternoon, that a
firm very long connected with the Russia trade had been
placed in difficulties, and there were hopes of an adjustment,
but they were fruitless. The firm has, for nearly a quarter
of a century, been esteemed for the most honourable
course of dealings, and with much regret must
we state that Messrs. Cattley and Stevenson's
are among the list of those who, after a
long course of extensive mercantile operations are compelled
to yield to the pressure of circumstances. There is not one
of this firm's extensive connexions who does not regret the
misfortune. Purposely we refrain from making public any
of the reports alleged to have brought the house into
difficulties.

The accounts received by the Britannia steamer, from
Halifax and Boston this morning, are of a most
pleasing character. " Creps luxuriant," states an authority,
" money plentiful, state stocks looking up, and trade im-
proving," are, indeed, facts to gladden the hearts of our
merchants, and to fill with dismay those who, for high gains,
would keep back grain from the millions, so that they may
realise large fortunes by speculations.
The mercantile markets are likely to become more active
should the price of grain, &c., be reduced, and there will
also, it may be anticipated, be a brisker dement for manu-
facturers. The advices from Manchester leave room for im-
provement, the speculation in cotton having an unfavourable
influence.

Owing to the decline in the value of grain in Mark-lane
this morning, the Funds rose about lA, per Cent., and the
market is fluctuating between 8776 and 881,E fur Consols.
The Scrip has improved to % discount. New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. are 894 to 89%. Bank Stock is worth
196. Exchequer-bills have been ss. to 9s. premium, being
also a further advance. The small bills have been done at
lls. to 14s. premium. No doubt money is becomg very easy.
The Foreign Securities have likewise a better tone. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. have advanced to 324 and 33.
Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 221 h, and the
Three per Cents. 3414 to N. The accounts from Madrid
still afford a faint hope that the Government may attempt
something for the bondholders. Mexican Stock has been
rather firmer, viz., 204 to 201%. Russian Bonds are
110 to 1101/2.
The Railway Shares have been rather quiet, but holders
are not inclined to do business except at higher rates. Bir-
mingham and Oxford are 17; Eastern Counties, 20 to %;
Great North of England, 231; Brighton, 54 to ;
Great Western, 113% to 114; North Western, 179;

37 to !4 ; York and North Midland, 85 to 86; Northern of
France, 12 ; and Paris and Strasburg, 4%.
