REID'S ENGLISH SCHOOL DICTIONART:
In large 12m0., price 6s. 6c1., strongly bound, the Third-Edition of
ADICTIONARY of the ENGLISH LAN-
GUAGE, containing the Pronunciation, Etymology, and Ex-
planation of all Words authorised by eminent Writers : to which are
added, a Vocabulary of the Roots of English Words, and an Accented
List of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names.
By REID, A.M., Rector of the Circus-place School,
Edinburgh.
In this work, to which the Author has devoted the labour of several
years, an attempt has been made to compile a School Dictionary
adapted to the present-state of the English language and to the im-
proved methods of teaching. It contains every word which has
been sanctioned by the use-of eminent authors, except such as have
become obsolete, or arc merely technical. While tile usual alphabetical
arrangement is preserved, the Words are at the same time grouped
in such a manner as to show their etymological affinity ; and after
the first word of each group, is given the root from which they are
derived. These roots are afterwards arranged into a vocabulary ;
so that the Dictionary may be used either for reference or for teaching
derivation.

Affairs, will cheerfully concede that the correspond-
ence
relative to the Llontpensier marriage ought not
to be further protracted. It would be at once generous
and dignified in us to adopt this course. Whatever
may have been the political differences between our-
selves and the French, no man, in his senses, can
seriously entertain the supposition that the latter
nation, so sensitive upon points affecting their honour
and integrity, will view with approbation the humi-
liating policy which M. GUIZOT has sanctioned. For
ourselves, gratified as we are with the eclaireissement,
so favourable to the ability, and—what is of far
greater consequence—the good faith, with which
Lord PALMEnsTos has acted throughout, yet
are we much more concerned that the chi-
valry, refinement, and instinctive integrity of
our neighbours, should have been confided to the
guardianship of a Minister who has proved himself
to be devoid of every one of those ennobling senti-
ments. None but a mean and jealous mind would
think of identifying the national character of France
with the repulsive and isolated acts of a self-dis-
honoured man. By suffering the diplomatic dispu-
tation to terminate, Lord PALMERSTON would be
observing a silence which could not fail of being
gratefully construed by the French into a graceful
commiseration on our part for the cruel position into
which they have been brought by M. GUIZOT. All
that has hitherto passed in the French Legislature
was based upon the garbled and mutilated documents
which their own Minister had laid before the Cham-
bers. A due vindication of the injuries she has re-
ceived, France herself, it may be safely depended
upon, will not be slow to require. Hu-
manity itself is shocked at the bare contem-
plation of M. GUIZOT'S public career. But yester-
day, as it were, how high and fair stood the temple
of his fame ! How tremendous the crash with which
it has now fallen to the earth ! The melancholy
ruins will ever present a fearful warning to present
and future statesmen against courting the favour of
royalty at the expense of their country's good.
The last dispatch of M. GUIZOT requires no com-
ment. It is of a piece with all his former ones—
Talon iinbelle sine kin. Completely jesuitical and
absolutely repulsive throughout, it is at the same time
fraught with palpable contradictions and attenuated
hypocrisy. Untruths are reiterated with wonderful
pertinacity, notwithstanding that Lord PALMERSTON
had previously scattered them to the winds. It is
somewhat facetious in M. GUIZOT to observe " We
must have looked to the things themselves, and not
merely to the form of the communications and influ-
ences." And yet M. GUIZOT'S chief pretext against
Lord PALMERSTON was built upon the fact, that the
name of a Prince of the house of Coburg happened to
be at the head of a list, enumerated by Lord PAL-
MERSTON, of candidates for the hand of the Queen
of SPAIN. This formal arrangement of names
in a dispatch, and not a candid regard to
" things themselves," was insidiously twisted by
M. GUIZOT into a marked preference on our side in
favour of the Prince at the top of the list. The task
would be a loathsome one to travel through the shuffling
discrepancies of the last missive to the French Am-
bassador. They all lie bare on the surface, and speak
for themselves, which happily renders it unnecessary
for Lord PALMERSTON to take any further notice of
a subject which, from first to last, has been charac-
terised, on the one side, by contemptible intrigue,
and, oa the other, by unimpeachable integrity.

We have already expressed our cordial approbation
of the Government proposition for an extended poor-
law in Ireland, giving a right to the destitute and im-
poverished to obtain the relief which their necessities
may require. Although it came last in order of the
three modes of interference, by which it is hoped that
country may be permanently benefited, its vast im-
portance induced us to give it the precedence it
deserved, and to postpone to a subsequent period our
observations on the earlier suggestions offered by the
Premier. The first great principle laid down is to
render such assistance to individual proprietors as to
enable them to improve their properties, and at the
same time to afford the greatest possible degree of
employment to the surplus labour of the country.
The measure that has already been resolved on for
this purpose has been for some time before the public,
having been put forward in the Treasury minute of
the Ist December, and the explanatory letter of Mr.
TREVELYAN. It was at that time fully commented
on, and received with the greatest approbation by all
classes in every part of the kingdom. By the amend-
ments that will be introduced the Drainage Acts will
be consolidated, the difficulties that have hitherto pre-
vented them from being made fully available and pro-
ductive of that national advantage which might
reasonably have been hoped for from their general
adoption, will be obviated. The tenant for life will
be enabled to obtain that assistance as readily as the
owner in fee, when it shall be established, by compe-
tent evidence, that the improvement, of whatever de-
scription it may be, whether by draining, embank-
ing, reclaiming, or otherwise, may increase the
permanent value of the land to such an extent, that
the persons having remote interests may not be pre-
judiced, or their future incomes diminished.
The rate, however, of that increase we conceive to
have been fixed at too high a standard : the
Ist and 2d Wm. 4, c. 33, which, as amended by sub-
sequent statutes, has been taken as the basis of the
new enactments, provides that the increase of value
consequent on such an outlay shall be at least ten per
centum on the amount proposed to be expended there-
on. At the time that this was fixed on as the mini-
mum rate the period for the repayment of the full
loan was far shorter than that to which it is now
about to be extended. The interest, too, was charge-
able at mot less than five per cent., whereas 31-
only will now be required. The entire advance will,
by the present arrangement, be liquidated by half-
yearly inaalments, at the rate of 6i per cent. per
annum ; and surely the rights of the remainder-man
would be sufficiently protected if the estimated im-
provement were equivalent to the annual charge,
and that 6f were substituted for ten per cent.
per annum; indeed, when the object for which
those advances are to be made is taken into considera-
tion, this aid afforded ; that it is to provide full and
adequate employment for the labour of those persons
who would otherwise be supported in idleness ; that
it is not merely as a profitable investment of capital,
a speculation that should be encouraged solely on
account of the pecuniary returns that may be looked
for, but that the general occupation that will thereby
be afforded will diminish the burden of the poor-
rates, will render the able-bodied pauper a useful
member of society, a producer of national wealth,
instead of an object of terror to the poor-law
guardian ; that it will lead to an increase of the
general produce, so that a sufficiency of food may be
raised in our own land for the consumption of all its
inhabitants—a far lower rate may justly be fixed
upon. In this respect, therefore, we hope that
an alteration may be announced when the
discussion of the Ministerial measures is again re-
sumed. In every other particular the measure is an
admirable one, calculated to afford the greatest en-
couragement to all parties anxious to discharge the
duties they owe to the public, to bring into the high-
est degree of fertility and culture that portion of the
soil, the property of the State, which was originally
granted for the purpose of being used and made
productive, and not of being suffered to remain
barren and valueless.

The other propositions which are stated to be
under the consideration of the Government, and
which belong to the first class of measures, have for
their object the freeing of real property from the
chains and fetters by which its free transfer is
restricted, and for facilitating the sale of
encumbered estates, and thus ultimately ob-
taining a more solvent and wealthy proprietary,
and also for converting the long leasehold tenures
for lives, redeemable for ever, into perpetuities. This
latter provision was strongly recommended in the
Report of Lord DEVON'S Commission, and will get
rid of much annoyance and inconvenience to all
parties. Means will also be taken, as far as possible,
to establish the same degree of connexion between
landlord and tenant that now happily exists in Great
Britain. It is impossible to overrate the importance
and beneficial effects of these contemplated measures
when brought into perfect execution. The full ad-

vantages may not be immediately attained, hut they
will imperceptibly tend to, and ultimately produce, a
healthier state in the local relationship between land-
lord and tenant.

A letter from Berne of the 26th ult. saye—
" There is great talk here about a visit made yesterday ,to

the President of the Directory, M. Frank, by the Count de
Reinhard, first secretary of the French Embassy, the osten-
sible object of which was to announce that he would fill
the office of chargé d'affaires during the absence of the
Ambassador, M. Bois-le-Comte. But this interview was of
a much greater importance, if it be true, as asserted, that M.
Reinhard held a language which proves that the affair of
Cracow has had a powerful re-action on the conduct to be
followed in future by France towards Swiss cantons hostile
to the separatist cantons. M. Reinhard is said to have ex-
pressed himself in terms leaving no doubt on this point, that
the French Government had positively refused to join in
the demonstrations of the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian
Cabinets."

Madrid papers to the 24th hare arrived.
The Duke of SOTOMAYOR having failed in his endea-
vours to form a Cabinet, had resigned the task. The
QUEEN then sent for Senor Mos, who, however, persisted
in his refusal to attempt the construction of a Ministry,
and eventually the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES undertook
to attempt, in conjunction with Senor CASTRO Y OROZCO,
the construction of a Cabinet of which Senor BRAVO
MunILLo and Senor PACHECO should be members. As
Senor PACHECO objects to join any Ministry of which
Senor Mox is a member, Senor SANTILLAN will, it is
said, be the new Finance Minister.
Hi The debate on the Address was concluded in the
Senate on the 22d.

The Chamber of Depnties have elected two more Vice-
Presidents from amongst the opponents of the Isturitz
Ministry. Senor SALAMANCA and Senor ROCA. BE
TEGORES are the two recently-elected Vice-Presidents.
The Secretaries are the Dulco of ALBA and Senors
VAIIEY, COELLO, and Ftmcom. The Chamber was thus
fully constituted, and would proceed immediately to
consider the Address in reply to the Speech fromithe
Throne.

The Tienzpo:states that Senor OLOZAGA has addressed a
request to the Chamber of Deputies to be allowed to
come to Madrid, either as a prisoner, a Deputy, or as a
simple Spanish citizen.

We have received the French papers of Friday and
Saturday. The Ministerial journals, the Debats, the
Epoque, and the Preve, undertake the defence of M.
GUIZOT against the charges of bad faith in the con-
ducting his negotiations with Lord PALMERSTON and the
Marquis of NORMANDY. This defence consists in a
repetition of the oft-refuted assertion that the Prince of
COBURG was put forward as an English candidate for
the hand of the QUEEN. With regard to the MutA-
FLORES mission, M. GUIZOT says, that what he stated
was the fact—that the Marquis DE ARRAFLORES did not
come to solicit the KING of the FRENCH not to oppose
the CoDunG marriage. The Debuts adds:-
4, In declaring what M. de Miraflores bad not come to do,
was he obliged to say what he had come to do? Was he
bound to say, for instance, that the Envoy of the Court of
Madrid was charged to demand in pressing terms from the
King his consent to the marriage of the Duke de Montpen-
sier with the Queen? Was he bound to inform him of the
King's answer? We are very sure that Lord Palmerston
himself would not exaggerate to such an extent the claims
that he might have to the confidence of the French Go.
vernment."

We leave this defence to speak for itself; always re-
membering that this visit of the Marquis of MinAFLoaEs
to Paris took place before the rapture of the entente
cordiale; that no intimation of the object of the mission,
or even of the mission itself, was given to the English
Government, and that the English Government had it-
self been the first to give information to M. GUIZOT
that Queen CURISTINA was intriguing for a Coburg al-
liance, and that such a project would have no support
from England. The miserable quibble about the mar-
riages not taking place at the same time is thus sought
to be explained away:—

" It is certain that at the moment that M. Guizot was in
communication with Lord Normanby on this point the
French Government itself opposed the fact of the two mar-
riages being effected together. If it was obliged to change
its resolution, it is neither it nor the Spanish Government
that ought to be reproached for doing so."
This is a perfectly different explanation from the one
given to the Marquis of NORMANDY., and is evidently an
afterthought. Had the case really been as M. GUIZGT
here states it, he would never have descended to the use
of a subterfuge.
The Opposition papers continue the polemic on the
Montpensier marriage, and there can be no doubt but
that the debate in the Chamber will be very animatel

The Constitutionnel of Saturday contains the following
on the subject of the Bank of France:—
" Count d'Argout read on Thursday, to the general meet-
ing of the shareholders of the Bank of France, a report of
the operations of the year 1846. The principal results are
already known from the quarterly returns. It appears that
notwithstanding the money sent from London, the reserve
has only reached the sum of 84,000,000. It has been stated
that M. Lebobe has proposed to re- constitute the old capital
of 90,000,000, by issuing 22,100 shares withdrawn from cir-
culation from 1516 to 1820. We believe this to be an error.
M. Lebobe does not form part of the council of the Bank,
and the council, if we are rightly informed, is not to deter-
mine before Thursday next on a proposition brought forward
on this point by one of its members."

From the tenour of a lengthy article in the Sema-
phore de Marseilles, it would appear as if the French
contemplated making of Oran an impregnable fortress,
as a counterpoise to Gibraltar.
The National is exceedingly irate with England for
taking possession of the Island Labuan.
Food riots still continue to take place in various parts
of France.

The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies charged
with examining the estimates for 1848 had chosen M.
BIGNON for its chairman, and Messrs. MAGNE and FOULD
for its secretaries.

The Moniteur of Friday publishes a royal ordinance
prohibiting the export of meal of every description, and
chesnuts, whether whole or ground, until the 31st July
next. The same journal contains another royal ordi-
nance, calling into active service 12,000 recruits of the
class of 1845.

The Reforme announces that the price of bread in
Paris would be increased on the Ist of February by 4
centimes per kilogramme (nearly a farthing per pound),
and remain thus fixed during the first fortnight of that
month, namely, white bread 51 centimes per kilogramme
(21d. per pound) ; second quality 44 centimes.
Very large purchases of stock were made in the

a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle.

---
The Duke of Wellington has obtained her Ma-
jesty's sanction to the grant of an annuity of 20/., commene-
Wing, late of the 17th Foot, at present Sergeant-Major of
the Royal Cornwall and Devon Miners (Light Infantry)
Militia , at Truro , for his meritoriousconduct
Majesty's service. Sergeant-Major Wring served upwards of
32 years in her Majesty's 17th Foot or Royalo Tigers, and
while in her
was present through the whole of the campaign f AFghanis-
tan, and the capture of Ghuznee and Khelat. This is the
first non• commissioned officer of the line who has obtained
this bonus under the royal warrant of the 19th of Dec.,
1845.
ALARMING FIRE. Yesterday morning a fire,
nearly attended with the most disastrous results, was dis-
covered on the premises belonging to Mr. J. T. Clark
2,iron-
monger, situate at 8, Limekiln-hill, Limehouse. The fire
originated on the ground-floor, and when first discovered was
ascending the staircase. The inmates happily succeeded in
effecting a safe retreat; but the fire could not be extinguished
until that portion of the house in which it commenced was
burned out, and the furniture and upper rooms were severely
damaged. Mr. Clarke was insured in the Guardian-office.
FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE OF
SEVERAL FA-
miLms.—Last night, shortly before eleven o'clock, a destruc-
tive fire broke out upon the premises in the occupation of
Mr. Rouse, straw bonnet•maker, carrying
on business at
No. 13, Bermondsey-street. The flames originated in the
front shop, and were first discovered by' police-constable
a
250 M, who immediately sprang his rattle, and after con-
siderable trouble succeeded in arousing from their slumbers
the whole of the inmates, consisting of four or five families.
However, before he had accomplished his object, the shop
became fired from end to end,
and the
flames were riving
with such fury that none of the residents were able to gain
the street-door. Fortunately they were enabled to effect a

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton market at Liverpool on Saturday was without
change as regards prices. Sales, 6,000 bales, including 2,000
bales of American on speculation, and 500 bales of Egyptian
for exportation, at 9d. per lb. Railway shares were rather
better.

The great monopolists of grain and flour will be much
excited when they learn that at Mark-lane this morning a
fall of not less than ss. per quarter has taken place in wheat ;
in oats, la. to 2s. per quarter; and the same decline in peas.
Now that the market is on the decline supplies are coming
forward very freely, not only in the great metropolitan,
but in the whole, or nearly so, of the provincial
markets. A much greater fall may be anticipated in all
quarters, and it is to be hoped that the poorer classes may
soon have the benefit of the late rather heavy reduction in
bread stuffs. The bakers of the metropolis were pretty
" slick," as Brother Jonathan would say, in raising the price
of the loaf when the markets first began to take an
upward movement. Of meat, also, the arrivals are
immense. In the past week not less than 6,000 car-
cases have come to our markets from Scotland, and 9,000
to 10,000 from various parts of England. This is a pretty
plain proof that the prices are falling in the country. Here
prices have gone back this morning, with little animation on
the part of the butchers to purchase, but from hand to mouth,
as the phrase is.
In the Discount market there is rather more demand for
money this morning, active preparations being made to meet
the payments of bills which will become due on the 4th inst.
The principal discount houses are not over-ready to take in
cash, at call, at a rate of interest over 3% per cent.
There has been a heavy market for Consols and other
securities this morning. The first bargain in Consols for
the Account was at 91%, but a fall almost immediately took
place to 9118. For transfer the value went back from 91%
to 91. Bank Stock has just been done at 203, or at a fall of
2 per cent. on the opening rates. All the other Funds are
proportionately lower. Exchequer-bills opened at 45., and
are now at Bs. premium. India Stock is firm at an advance
to 250.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have been but few
this morning, but the tendency is principally in the same
direction as that for Consols. The Four per Cent. Portu-
guese Bonds have just receded from 35 to 34; Russian from
111% to 11012 ; Spanish Actives from 243/4 to 24%; the
Three per Cents to 343/4 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. to 58. Grenada Stock, on the contrary, is rather
higher, having touched 19'.
There are but few exceptions where sales of Railway Shares
have been made this morning at Saturday's prices. Money
appears to be in demand among the dealers in the Share
Market. The ccrreeted prices at which business has been
done this morning are annexed ;
