LITERATURE.
THE CANADAS IN 1841.
Colburn, London, 1841.

So much has. been written- and spoken about
Canada of late years, from the time when the
late Messrs. Galt and Picken published their
reports oil the subject,- down to the last debate
On it ill the House of Commons, that the theme
has become nearly as destitute of interest, as it
is of novelty. The Falls of Niagara—the Lake
of the ThOusand Isles—the Heights of Abraham
at Quebec—Toronto—M. Papineau—and Lord
Durham's Report;—all these various matters,,
descriptive, geographical, and political, have
been discussed by such hosts of writers, that one
would scarcely suppose it possible to impart to
them the slightest attraction. Yet Sir Richard
Bonnycastle, to whom we are indebted forthe
present volumes, has in some degree contrived
to do so; • but this, principally, by his terse,
lively, good-humoured mode of narration, for as
regards the chief amount of his matter, it is as
old as the hills. It is to his credit that he has
done all that sound judgement could do for an
exhausted theme ; and
,not less is he - deserVing
of praise for the tolerant and dispassionate spirit
that pervades his work. His opinions of the
prospects of the Canadas are, on the whole, en-
couraging, and he -assures us that " those who

have not had the advantage of viewing. their pro-
gress, can scarcely credit the extent of their pre-
sent power and importance." Of Toronto, the
capital of Upper Canada, he says, " only forty-
five years ago, this city, which now contains
nearly fifteen thousand inhabitants, and spreads
over a surface of more than two miles in length,
by a mile in breadth, was occupied only by the
murderous and savage Indian; and when Go-
vernor Simcoe first came to it, not more than two
wigwams were seen in the unbroken and stately
forest which towered over the shores of its beau-
tiful bay." One great proof of the increasing
prosperity of this portion of Upper Canada is the
value of land in the neighbourhood of Toronto.
On the military reserve, .now forming into the
new westtrn portion of the city, acre lots sold by
Government fetched five and six hundred pounds
at some distance from the parts of the city built
upon. " Building-ground in the populous
streets," adds our author, " is worth from ten to
twenty pounds a foot, and will no doubt be much
higher; and thus many persons who formerly
were very needy, and who obtained the land as
grants when it was of little value, are now among
the richest." It is only, however, within the
last five years that Toronto has advanced so ra •
pidly ; and we are assured that it will never be
so flourishing as it ought to be, until offices and
honours are alike open to all classes of the Bri-
tish people in it as they are in England. The
following information may be useful to those who
may be inclined to emigrate to this rising capital
of Upper Canada :
Families emigrating to Toronto will wish to know as
well about markets as about servants and house-rent.
Servants are not in general of the best kind. Females
coming out usually get married after a short service, and
settle, either as the wives of mechanics or farmers ; and
men or boys obtain so much wages as mechanics or la-
bourers, that it is obviously their interest to seek such
employment. A good mason or carpenter may stipulate
fGr 6s. or 7s. 6d. a day ; a labourer gets constant employ-
ment at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. 9d., according to the nature
of his work ; and many of them, by keeping a horse and
cart and a cow, may double that amount.
Considering that from eight to ten dollars a month
(forty to fifty shillings currency) are the highest wages
given to men servants, and from four to six dollars to
women (I mean as an avenge, for some of the higher
classes give more, in order to keep their servants with
them), with their daily food, it is not to be wondered at
that, in a cheap country, they seek labour with a view to
ultimate rest, on property independently deriVed.
' House rent is high at Toronto. A good house for a
small family, consisting of two stories, with kitchen and
cellar, perhaps about five or six rooms above the level of
the street, costs forty-five or fifty pounds a-year, and
about two pounds for road and other city taxes. With
this limited accommodation, there is generally a small
stable and sleigh-house, and yard just sufficient to hold
about half the wood required for the winter, which, for a
faMily able to afford such a lodging, would ' amount to
about thirty or forty cords. Stoves are generally used;
although coals from the .state of Ohio, on Lake Erie, are
coming into the market, by way of the Welland canal,
and cost at present, from is. 6d. to is. Bd. per bushel.
The author's' description of the " Falls of
Niagara," we pass without comment, for the
scene has already been described by Howison,
Miss Martineau, and all who have ever found,'
their way to the American shores. The sketches of

the great fresh-water seas—for such may—the
Canadian lakes be called—are among the mi-
nutest and most spirited we have yet seen ;
Lake Huron seems most to have struck the
author's fancy, and he states that in the winter
seasons, the waves on this vast expanse of water
are quite as tremendous as those that are met
with in the Atlantic, in a gale. We close this
sketchy notice with some details of a horrid
tragedy that took place in the year 1828 :
On the 15th of November, 1828, the brig Granicus
left the port of Quebec on her voyage to Britain, or Ire-
land, with timber. It is supposed that she was wrecked
on the east point, as parts of the ship were found there,
and that the crew must have met with one of the direc-
tion-boards, which indicated a supply of provision twelve
miles off, in the direction of Fox Cove, as the board was
found, as if brought by one of the unhappy sufferers, at
the place where the tragedy afterwards happened.
Upon arriving at the provision post, after what must
have been to them a dreadful and perilous journey, they
must have found it • deserted, and nothing but an empty
log-hut and store-room to receive them, weary as they
were. Godin had left it in the autumn for Quebec, where
he is said to have been imprisoned for debt ; and in his
subsequent examination he averred that he had received
orders to withdraw, and that the provisions, consisting
chiefly of salt pork, biscuit and flour, had rotted. He
has been accused of plundering it ' • but it is said that he
proved his orders to withdraw, and was acquitted of all
blame.

The scene that now ensued harrows the feelings. The
boat was found at Fox Cove, not far from another post,
with provision in it, by some of the Magdalen Island
fishermen, in May, 1829, and it is probable the crew
had been too much exhausted, after the ship was wrecked,
to make any further use of it.
The fishermen stated that they found in the house
many bodies, or parts of bodies, suspended,. and a chest
filled with human flesh. There was a rude almanack
scribbled on the boards of the house, which terminated
on the 23d of April, the 22d being the last (late legibly.
emecuted.
•
The beami were literally hung, like a butcher's
with human carcases ; and a pot was found resting on
the ashes, in which some of the undevoured and mon-
strous meal still remained. Bones and putrid flesh were
found strewed about the place ; money, watches, rings,
and a note in pencil, signed " B. Harrington," desiring
that forty-eight sovereigns, which were found as therein
stated, with his body in his hammock, should be sent
home to Mary Harrington, Barrack-street, Cove of Cork.
This unfortunate being, true to his filial or marital duty
even amidst all his wretchedness, was the only unmu-
dieted form amid the heap of dead. He had fed on the
last surviving relic of the horrible mortality
The fishermen gathered together as much of the sad
remains of their fellow-creatures as they could, and
decently interred them. They thought they could per-
ceive the skeletons, and part of the flesh,.of three child-
ren, two women, and eight men ; and the loathsome
skeletons of two others were also found in the forest, to
which it is supposed they must have retired to sutler
the excruciating pangs of hunger, and thus by meeting
the death of Nature, to avoid being preyed upon by these
maddened cannibals.

THE WEATHER..—since our last the weather
has continued to be the reverse of what is either agree-
able or useful for the gathering in of the remainder of
the grain crops or the progress of the potatoe harvest.
Rain, and a. close unwholesome haze, have more fre-
quently prevailed than breeze or sunshine, and very
little has been done during the last few days to effect a
clearance of what remains in the fields,—Glasgow Herald,

OL. NAPIER ON THE CORN

LAWS.
The celebrated Colonel Napier, the author of
the admirable..." History of the Peninsular
War," has published a pamphlet in favonr of
the Corntlaws, which it is. our duty, in deference
to his commanding abilities, and the services he
has rendered to the cause of liberty, to subject
to a strict examination. We give him the credit
of being sincere. He has a living belief in the
validity of the objections he states to the aboli-
tion of the 'Corn-laws; while the multitude of
writers in the daily journals have no such belief.
They put forth doctrines for. an express party
. purpose. without believing), even if .they compre-
hend, them. To every-sincere opponent we shall
pay a proper deference, but -the advocates of a
bad cause for pay are unworthy of attention.
Colonel Napier's pamphlet is addressed .to
Lord Ashley, " because his persevering efforts to
protect the factory children, give him a just title
to the respect of all persons who acknowledge
the value of justice and benevolence in national
policy." We quote the paragraph as a clue to
the Colonel's reasoning. He writes " justice and
benevolence ;" but though he writes the benevo-
lence last, it has the foremost place in his
esteem. Whatever benevolence there may be
in limiting the hours of infant labour, we cannot
comprehend the justice of a Ten Hours' Bill which
sanctions by law the working of infants, who, in
justice, ought not to work at all, ten hours a day.
Neither can we comprehend the justice ot.the, be-
nevolence of refusing food by law to the very in-
fants whom Lord Ashley by law exposes 'to ten
'hours' toil a day. But Colonel Napier is not sin-
gular in being caught-by noisy show, though we
had given him credit for a more military eye
than to be caught by a showy parade.
Quite akin, to this love of Lord Ashley's
benevolence, and this slighting the claims of
justice, are Col. Napier's observations on the
manufacturing labourers. They are worthy of
an Indian hunter panting for his free woods, or
a soldier thinking only of man as food for powder.
The Colonel says—
Is it a national benefit to have hardy ploughmen
turned into squalid weavers, crowded together in
misery and immorality; begetting beings still more
miserable and squalid than themselves, toiling inces-
santly in heat, and dust, and gloom, without a glimpse
of green fields 'or clear running waters to cheer their
sight, the burring of Machinery to stun their brains in-
stead of the notes of birds to greet their ears ; the harsh
commands and spying watchfulness of avaricious mas-
ters and overseers.ever present to them, instead of the
gracious presence ofuature, with her gentle beauties and
delights, such as God has presented them for the enjoy-
ment of man, to cheer and sustain his faculties ; their
only pleasures those of debauchery, of sensuality, gross
and debilitating, because for no others have they
time granted them, and some solace the human ani-
mal must have. If you deny it to his reason, he
will obtain it by his passions, and in the un-
happy weaver's case these -passions will be
influenced, even to insanity,. -by the corruption
and sourness of the natural juices, from unwholesome
occupations and discontent. Can such men ever have the
physical power to defend their country, and with their de-
moralised habits Can they take any patriotic interest in its
welfare? Can those who wily know their country as a pri-
son be warmed by the tkacred fire of patriotism? Can they
Who never • see or feel The ordinary delights and beauties
of nature, those silent but most efficacious consolations of
miserable minds,, can they have any natural enthusiasm ?
It is indeed one of the crotchets of the political econo-
mists to disregard all human sufferings in the transition
from one. State of society to another, provided it can be
shown by a rigorous-course of reasoning from data as-
sumed by themselves, that the country will finally benefit
by the change. If the wretched agricultural labourers
are only absorbed, as they call it, at last all will be right
—the riches of the country will be augmented—that is
their only test of natural happiness."
-Wretched as are all these people, they are
surely not made happier, stronger, or more
healthy by a tax on their food, and by such an
artificial value being given by a Corn-law to
every foot of soil, that they must never -.hope
even to enjoy or own a garden-plot. The Colonel
is undoubtedly eloquent, but surely *the Corn-
laws contribute to stifle patriotism by luinger, to
make the country a priSon, to subject men to
avaricious masters, and to weaken the existing
and all future generations, and to produce
all the evils the -Colonel eloquently describes.
All the 'manufacturers are not weavers, and
the smiths, bricklayers, masons, carpenters,
millwrights) miners, colliers, machine-makers,
&c., who -.constitute a 'large proportion of
the manufacturing . population, arc in all
respects, we will' venture to assert even in
physical power to defend the country, superior
to agricultural labotirers. In truth this is elo-
quent but idle talk, for the manufacturing la-
bourers, with their great skill and powerful ma-
chines, would be found, we apprehend, a match
for the best _organized army, were they put to
the test. The two passages we have quoted are
specimens of erroneous feeling in the Gallant
Officer,, who allows the conventional and now
antiquated prejudices of the hunter and the ngri-
culturist to overmaster observation, and there-
upon condemn the most modern, and there-
fore the most civilized, condition of society.
'We pity the ignorance or the prejudice of the
man who can see nothing iin our manufacturing
system but hand-loom weavers, and factory
children:.
We must now pass, however, from Colonel
Napier's feeling to his reasoning. He begins
with this assumption :
In the present state of the public burthens the cry of
" Cheap bread for the working man" is a delusion. The.
price of labour will sink with the price of corn.
Is this true ? We will inquire. The Colonel
adds, and.we quote the whole passage in order
do him no injustice :
The political economists who clamour for the aboli-
tion of the Corn-law, feel. the force of this argument,
and strive to evade it in' the vagueness of a general
maxim, namely, that the value of labour will be go-
verned by demand and supply. This maxim is, how-
ever, subject to disturbing influences, and 'in
many cases prices govern demand and supply, for men
sell not without profit, nor buy without means ; and with
respect to labour,' the relations of demand and supply
cannot, in a country so thickly populated as England,
vary much generally, although special causes, such as
harvest time, may produce partial influxes and refluxes
of labour. Some standard more obvious and immediate
for the many is therefore required to determine the value
of labour, and that standard has always been the price of
provisions, of whiCh corn is the chief regulator. It
must be so ; fur what farmers, unless driven thereto by
some special pressure, would pay as much for labour
when corn was five shillings 'the bushels as when it was
fifteen shillings ?
Biit it is in the nature of things that the labourer
should strive to get as much as possible for his labour,
and the employer give as little as possible; and in a po-
pulous country the labotirer will always be beaten in this
struggle. He will beTrechiced.to the lowest scale of re-
muneration:—

Ist. Because the employer, being richer, can hold out
longest; and this is so certain that it will almost always
be found that poor men pay higher for htbour than ca-
pitalists do.
2d. Because the employers have a general interest in
avoiding competition with each other, greater than the.
particular interest of the moment arising from want of
labour.

3d. Because the labourer who holds out has only a
choice between work and starvation, or the poor-house
with its degradation and cruelty,
4th. Because his fellow-labourers have an immediate
interest in getting some wages, more pressing, because
it is to avoid starvation or the workhouse, than their ge-
neral interests as members of the labouring- community.
Indeed, this inevitable pressure upon the labourer is
heavy enough to crush him altogether (it does so when
the supply of labour is greater than the demand), if a
countercheck arising from the necessity of keeping him
alive to do his work, did not interfere. Moreover man,
although an intelligent- being, has so much. of the
brute animal, in his nature that he will seize what
.
he wants if driven to desperation. Fear, therefore, as
well as interest„ maOs the employer set bounds to.
his cupidity ; 'he - dois not compare the propor-
tions of demand to supply, but he feels the necessity of
yielding sufficient sustenance to the labourer whose
despair he dreads, and upon whose strength to work he

price of food ; yet even: this law is not so strong as aye-
This is the natu-
ral
rice, witness the"constant necessity for military inter-
ference to protect employers in manufaeturing districts.
We inquire, first, will the price of labour
sink with the price of corn? The Colonel's as-
sertion is unlimited by either time, place, or cir-
cumstances, and is as general as it can be made.
As a general assertion, then, we first deial
With it. Labour and corn are two of the things
which are mutually exchanged. One, therefore,.
is the measure or price of the other. Labour .as
Adam Smith saysOvas the first purchase-mOney
with which 'all price was paid. It is so at all
times. Men 'give 7"so Much labour to the soil,
and that pays 'for'a, certain definite quantity of
corn which the soil produces. So far, then, as
corn and labour are exchanged for each other—
and that exchange is probably as vast'as any ex-
change which is made—as the price of labour
sinks, the price of labour rises, and as the price of
corn sinks, the price of labour rises ; or, in propor-
tion to the labour man employs in growing corn,:
as that is abundant or scarce, so do the wages, or
price of labour, rise or fall.. The very reverse,
therefore, of Colonel N. armor's statement is the
truth.- In dealing even with a friend on such an
important subject, we must speak out, and we
are, therefore, hound to- say, that Colonel Na-
Pier's proposition, unlimited as' to. time and
space, is a palpable absurdity, -
But there are two measures of Price, labour-=
the universal purchase money, and What is called
currency. Now corn may be produced by a less
quantity of labour, and so fall in price. It, may
become more abundant. It may fall in price
from the currency being curtailed. If it fall in
price from the latter cause, labour will fall in

price also, because the common measure of price
in this 'case is raised or lengthened, • and all the
things it measures are lowered or shortened.
But if corn fall in price from becoming more
abundant, from a greater quantity being in the
community, and to be distributed amongst the
members, it is erroneous to say that labour will
fall' in price as corn falls. There is more to be
consumed ; the opulent classes, as the rule, have
alrhuly as much as they can eat; and therefore
only the classes who were before short, or the
I
labouring classes, will -get more. But how can
they get more if wages fall as the price of corn
falls? They will not fall to the same extent as,
the price of corn, and the labourers, hardly as
we admit they are treated, will necessarily be al-
lowed some small share of the abundance. The
fundamental proposition of all Colonel Napier's
reasoning, which, we regret to say, he seems to
have borrowed rom Tory scribblers without
subjecting it to exam:nation, is erroneous, and so
is all the reasoning founded on it.
With a very singular shortsightedness fur such
' a master of the military -coup d'ceil, Colonel Na-
pier, having adopted the principle that wages
will fall as the price of bread falls, proceeds to
argue that the expenses of an English fitrmer
will remain nearly the same. His assertion is
the.inore singular, because the instance he se-
lects is that of a farmer, who will not, he says,
give the same wages when corn is at ss. a bushel
as when it is 15s. The only expenses to,
which the farmer is subjected, which, according
to Colonel Napier, will not fall; are tithes and
taxes; but the farmer pays no more taxes, in pro-
portion than any other person, and lie has no
right to throw his share of taxation on the eaters
of bread by another tax. Tithes, too, are now
merge& irrvent, -.add lib'Otherwise affect the far-
iner than that the landlord, who has to pay the
tithes, increases the rent. But Colonel Napier
admits that rent may, as no doubt it would, fall
with the fall of price. It ought, for price is now
kept up bylaw to keep up.rent. He admits, too,
that the expense of seed corn will be less; on his
own theory he ought to admit that the wages of
the labourers the farmer employs will be less;
that the cost of repairs, because the wages 'of
other labourers fall, will be less; and he ought
to have admitted that the keep of all the animals
the farmer employs will cost leSs. The farmer's
Own food, also, will cost less, and so will the food
of all his household servants. The second great
assumption,' therefbre, of Colonel Napier, that
the expenses of the farmer will remain nearly
the same, whatever may be the fall in the price
of grain, is as erroneous as the first. The princi-
pal part of the farmer's expenses consists of
wages, seed corn, and the feed of his cattle, and
his family ; and all these would be diminished
without the wages of labour falling in the same
proportion as the price of grain.
It has been proved to satiety that the land of
England is less burdened with taxes than the
land of other countries. Yet Colonel Napier says—
, It is the weight of taxation which renders a Cora-law
necessary to the agriculturist. Why should he otherwise
fear the foreigner in his own market ? His soil is rich,
his climate not unfavourable generally ; his skill, his
capital, his industry, his means of communication and
transport superior. Why should he fear ?
We repeat the question—why should he fear?
Colonel Napier says something about the Bank
and something about tithes. The laws concern-
ing the Bank Colonel Napier admits to be bad;
we say the same of the tithe law. We denounce
the privileges of the Bank, and the power of the
priesthood to take other people's produce ; but
Colonel Napier, with a strange perversion of rea-
soning, would continue the laws to starve the
peopl, because the Bank •has a monopoly and
tithes are in existence. The masses do not profit
by those acts of injustice, but Colonel Napier
Would continue a tax on their bread, because the
Bank privileges and the existence of tithes may
possibly curtail the rent of the landlords. What
is the amount of all this? Why, that one bad
law is the justification of another, and that it is
only necessary to give the priesthood a power to
plunder the people, to sanction the landlords in
fbllowing the same example. We do not reason
in that .way. We agree with Colonel Napier
that other laws are erroneous and unjust as well
as the• Corn-law, and we would put down the
Corn-law'as a sure means of compelling the Le-
gislature to abolish the other unjust laws. Col.
Napier is an excellent writer, but a bad reasoner.
He describes the movements of soldiers admir-
ably, but he is deplorably ignorant of political
economy. It grieves us to see a name we have
been accustomed to honour ranged on the side of
our enemies, and lending its lustre to their op-
pressions.

STATE OF TRADE and COMMERCE.
The demand for cotton at the beginning of last week
was very brisk, and prices rose id. per lb. for American
descriptions, but the Manchester goods market of Tues-
day was not so active as those of the two preceeding
weeks, and the demand in consequence fell off towards
the end, though the rise in prices_was, sustained. The
autumn demand for twist for Russia and Poland, ends
this week, the 16th being the latest day for the fulfilment
of the contracts, and it is a matter of the deepest interest
to see what state the trade will assume when that tem-
porary cause of activity ceases to exist. If it should con-
tinue to be favourable, the very strong fears for the
coming winter, which are now entertained, will be much
diminished. •

Although the duty on foreign wheat has now risen to
16s. Bd. a quarter, and the averages have fallen consi-
derably, the price of good wheat is advancing in all the
principal markets of the country, and it is generally be-
lieved amongst those best acquainted with the corn-
trade, that it will rise much higher before Christmas.
The decline in the averages is occasioned by the inferior
quality of the wheat which is now coming to market,
which is in general lean and damp, the latter defect be-
ing greatly increased by the recent wet weather, which has
much retarded the usual drying in the stack-. The yield
is, however, so deficient, as to force up prices in spite of
the quality. We know from some of the best farmers in
this neighbourhood, that the yield of their wheat is ex-
ceedingly small—much less so than they expected before
it was thrashed. In addition and aggravation of this
is the failure of the potatoe crop, which is now as-
certained to be general in England and Ireland, and
which in Lancashire and Cheshire is almost uni-
versal. Butchers' meat also continues very dear, and
must he dearer, as the price of sheep and cattle is in-
creasing rapidly at present, owing to the shortness of the
supply. We are informed that there is likely to be a
decrease of thirty thousand head in the number of sheep
brought to the Liverpool market this year, in compari-
son with last, and that the supply of cattle is also quite
unequal to the demand. This arises partly from the
disease amongst sheep and cattle, which has been so
prevalent for the last two years in England, Scotland,
and Ireland, and partly from the ill-judged efforts of the
Legislature to force the cultivation of wheat and other
descriptions of grain, by protective duties. If it had
not been for the wonderful improvement which has taken
place in the breed of Irish cattle and sheep during the
last ten years, which enables the graziers of that country
to bring heavier animals to market at two years old than
they formerly could at four—beef and mutton would now
have been nearly, if not quite, a shilling a pound. in
Lancashire.—Liverpool Times.

CAPTAIN BARCLAY'S SALE.—Captain Bar-
clay, of Ury's, annual sale of pure short-horn bull
calves, half-bred yearling heifers and steers—a cross be-
tween a short-horn bull and pure bred Argyllshire cows
—and pure bred Leicester sheep, came off on the 7th
instant, and was as usual numerously and respectably
attended. The sale commenced with the short-horned
bull calves, and after a spirited bidding the first was
knocked down at 75 guineas, the prices of the others
ranging from 30 to 50 guineas, and the average price of
the whole being about 451. a piece. There was also a
keen competition for the yearling half-bred steers, and
heifers, which brought an average price of about 121. a
head. After the sale the-Captain entertained his friends
at dinner, and the evening- was spent in a very happy
manner. The : average of this year is three guineas a
head higher than any former year. We are glad to find
this celebrated sporting character so usefully employed.
THE WEATHER AND. THE CROPS.—The
season continues to be wet beyond all precedent, an in-
terval of twenty-four hours without rain being quite a
rarity. Although all the corn crops are gathered in the
lower parts of this county, there is still a considerable
quantity of oats and some wheat out in the hilly dis-
tricts, much of which will never ripen, whilst that which
does will only be fit for feeding cattle and pigs. Thy
potato crop is suffering greatly from the continued wet,
thousands of acres being quite rotten, or so soft and
watery that they will not keep through the winter. No
one can wonder at this who is acquainted with the
:wretched drainage which generally exists in Lancashire
and Cheshire, and who remembers that we have hardly
had a week of dry weather singe June. The only thing
that seems to flourish under this incessant fall of rain,
is the*after-grass, which is more abundant this year than
it has been at any time for many years preceding.

TRIGONOMETRICAL SURVEY.—For the last
fortnight a party of a dozen or fourteen of her Majesty's
sappers and miners have been engaged—as:isted by a
number of labourers from the country—in carrying to
the top of Benlawers materials for lodgings to themselves
and to the officers to be employed in the trigonometrical
survey of Scotland. The bivouacks are now completed,
and the business of the survey is forthwith to commence
under Lieuts. llornby and. Robinson, of the Royal En-
gineers.
• • DEATH OF DR. COWAN.—It is with the
deepest pain we have this morning to announce the death
of our accomplished and philanthropic townsman, Dr.
Robert Cowan, Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in
the University of Glasgow, which melancholy and un-
expected event took place on Saturday night, about
eleven o'clock. - Dr. Cowan had been for some time in
rather delicate health, and, we believe, intended to have
spent a portion of the ensuing winter in the island of
Malta ; but nothing had occurred to lead his friends to
anticipate the melancholy change that was so soon to
happen. As a Medical man,. Dr. Cowan occupied a high
place. in this city; and; as a citizen, few of late years
have done so much to awaken the attention of the public
to the amelioration of the physical condition of our
suffering population.—Glasgow Argus.

• PROCLAMATION OF QUEEN
CHRISTINA to the SPANISH NATION.
(From the Charivari.)
Castilians, Arragonese, Andalusians, Basques, and
Vasco Navarrese !—The present is to inform you that I am
about to resume the reins of the Regency, which an am-
bitious soldier had torn with violence from my Royal
hands. This intelligence will fill your hearts with joy,
fur I hope that, of course, like faithful subjects, you will
not. hesitate to share my happiness. Yes, Spaniards ! I
am happy to find myself once more among you; my hotel
in the Rue de Courcelles is vast, spacious, and splendidly
ornamented; in it my eye rests every moment upon some
object which recals dear Spain to, my remembrance—
golden vases, paintings of price, costly plate, which I
carried off as mementos of my absent country; but with
all this I am still dissatisfied. Paris bores me ; the
%era, the Concees Musard, the artesian well, all the
marvels of this capital fatigue me. The conversations
of M. Vartout have become insupportable to me ; the
stiff prudery of the Court is beyond every thing ; and I
was obliged to remove from the Palais Royal, in order to
receive my illustrious spouse, the handsome Munoz. In
Spain at least I am married, but at the Tuileries I am
only looked upon as a widow—a condition only to be
borne in the vaudevilles of the Gymnase.
The heroic movement which has just broken out at
Pampeluna will now at last deliver me from this odious
constraint. In order to redouble your enthusiasm I
should wish to show
you how great is that with which I
am oppressed. Martinez de la Rosa composes a tragedy
every day in honour of O'Donnell, Perez de Castro sheds
tears of emotion in pronouncing the name of that hero,
and my drawing-rooms are filled with a warlike crowd,
aspiring to share your dangers. I yesterday despatched
to the frontiers a first detachment of Christinos, armed
with guitars, to raise the people on their passage. At
the conclusion of the hand-kissing which I intend to give
to-morrow I expect to send you a further reinforcement
of cigar merchants, who have remained faithful to me
in Paris.

Spaniards ! listen to the voice of your Queen, and be-
ware how you allow yourselves to be led away by the
perfidious suggestions of my enemies. By revolting, by
pursuing sword in hand the partisans of Espartero, you
defend the cause of tranquillity, justice, and the laws.
When a Government, the result of a people's suffrage, is
in question, insurrection is the most sacred of duties.
Rise, then, noble Castilians ; let disordet reign again,
let the inseparable plagues of civil war re-appear, the
cessation of commerce, the ruin of agriculture, and the
violation of persons and property. My strength is in
anarchy; without it I cannot reign. Let me first take
the rank which is due to me among the reigning Sove-
reigns in the almanac, and then we Will busy ourselves
about insuring to Spain the one who among the nations
of Europe rightly belongs to her. Leave that care to me.
Perhaps you will say, that the insurrection party are
weak—that Espertero is at the head of a numerous and
warlike army—that he possesses the confidence of the
majority of the soldiers and people—that he is a man to
pay his debts in person, and that you run the risk of
being crushed if you declare in my favour. All that is
stuff o'nonsense. You will be supported by a powerful
nation; I here pledge you my most solemn promise of it.
Let only two or three towns hoist the standard of rebel-
lion, and you will immediately see a French corps
d'armcc cress the frontier. I have been promised it on
oath, and it is an oath which they will beware of breaking.
The Court is anxious for an intervention. It cannot
tolerate the commencement of a republic at the very
gates of France. The Court believes in contagion is
political matters, and will support every effort made with
a view to overthrow Espartero. Think you that the
French Government have shut their eyes on the move-
ments of my partisans on the preliminary proceedings of
O'Donnell, and on the depots of arms which we have
formed on the frontiers, in order to abandon me in the
sequel ? Olozaga, the Minister of the usurping Regent,
was recently invited to Compiegne, but that was orly to
lull his suspicions, and put him on a wrong scent as to
our intentions. I, who am a Neapolitan, know some-
thing about these kin& of artifices ; and the better to
conceal our projects let us gaily sing the barcarole.
Guizot, dear Spaniards, is preparing a nice little in-
tervention to place me. on the Throne of my husband.
The Duke of Orleans will command the invading
army ; in a little time 'he will have crossed the
Bidassoa. The staff officers have been appointed.
As to the consequences of this intervention, you
need not trouble yourselves about them ; you know that
the juste milieu is not very particular ; and besides, if
it had the audacity to show any very pressing opposition
we should always have the resource of concluding a good
solid treaty with England. Depend upon it Lord Aber-
deen will soon set to right all the Guizots in France or
Algeria.
And you, heroic deserters of Bergara, magnanimous
citizens, who have betrayed your standards for places
and money, you are worthy to hear me. I have need of
your support, as you have need of mine. We can mu-
tually insure to each other the free enjoyment of the
country's resources. You will enjoy in peace the reward
of your defection, and I will cover you with my Royal
protection. We will govern by traitors and for traitors.
If Don Carlos is triumphant you are lost ; if the reign
of Espartero continues the fruits of your treason will
escape your grasp. Repulsed by every party I offer you
a last asylum, a supreme alliance. If Maroto will be-
lieve, before eight days he shall have joined O'Donnell.
I do not think it necessary, incorruptible Christinos, to
entice you by the bait of a recompense. Let it suffice
you to know that I shall constitute all those grandees of
Spain and Knights of the Order of Isabella who shall
rise in my cause. I will also assign to them their share
of those revolutionists whom we shall give up to the exe-
cutioner or condemn to exile. We must be indemnified
for the danger of war. And thus will I ensure to Spain
that happiness and tranquillity which have always formed
the burden of my prayers.
Strike home, Spaniards ! lam impatient to see my
triumph accomplished. It is right that I should leave
Paris within the shortest time. Munoz has of late been
seen loitering very frequently about La Place Breda. I
verily suspect the traitor neglects me, and is running
after lorettes. It is time to bring him back to Madrid,
for I must tell you that I am jealous.

BRIGHTON RAILWAY:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE.
SlR—The late accident on the Brighton Railway has
drawn forth so many letters of censure on the manage-
ment of that concern, that I hope the old maxim of " hear-
ing both sides" will secure this a corner in your paper.
The principal charges are three : first, that the road
was not in proper order ; secondly, the use of four-
wheeled engines ; thirdly, using two engines to one train.
The answer to the first is, that Sir F. Smith (ap-
pointed by Government for that service) minutely in-
spected the whole line before the opening, and reported,
not simply its fitness, but actually extolled its extraor-
dinary goodness. To the second charge the reply is,
that the engines with four wheels are in constant use on
several other railways, the London and Birmingham
amongst them; and that these engines of the Brighton
Company were from Mr. Bury, who makes for the
London and Birmingham Company, and is the superin-
tendent of locomotive power on that line. To
the third, charge a matter-of-fact reply is also ready,
namely, that two engines are regularly applied
to one train on the Great Western, the Liverpool and
Manchester, and other lines. It ought likewise to be
recollected that on the Brighton the engines were both
in front, whereas on other lines one is put behind the
train occasionally. Notwithstanding the sanction of the
old railways as above stated the Brighton Directors
instantly bowed to the recommendation of the Coroner's
Jury in both cases, thereby sustaining a loss of some
thousand pounds, by having six of those four-wheeled
engines thrown up useless. They have also adopted the
suggestion of an anonymous writer, to place a luggage-
car next to the engine, and, no doubt, will gladly try any
other device likely to promote the safety of the public.
The report spread so industriously, that the Patcham-
tunnel had fallen in was malicious, because being so near
Brighton the truth might have been ascertained and
stated at first. The stage-coach people, perhaps, could
account for this and other false rumours.

In conclusion, let me say that the best guarantee the
public have for all railway improvements is the certain
loss sustained by those Companies whenever any disaster
occurs. In the recent case of the Brighton, 2,0001. a
week, at least, have been lost to its exchequer, besides
that of the six engines and the heavy expenses caused by
the accidents.
Ne occasion to talk of a deodand.

FURTHER E VILSOF THE CORN-

LAWS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—The public papers have recently shown, from a.
Parliamentary Report, that the amount of aocounts an
nually adjusted at what is called the London bankers'
Clearing-house, extends to the enormous sum of nearly
one thousand millions of pounds sterling. Now this im-
mense sum only forms a fractional part of the annual
returns of the British mercantile and trading commu-
nity—is merely that part which comes, as it may be said
collaterally, through the hands of a part of the great
London bankers' hands. Yet from this statement some
idea may be formed of the gigantic magnitude of all
commercial returns throughout the country.
From contemplating this subject, the magnitude of the
evil resulting from fluctuations in the price of provisions
is forcibly brought to light. Take the subject of bread
corn alone, and assume that the quantity annually con-
sumed in the United Kingdom is 20,000,000 quarters,
which is not far from the fact, then it is plain, if the
price of this commodity be 20s. per quarter dearer in one
year than in another, 20,000,0011 L sterling must be ab-
stracted from the usual channels of retail trade, em-
bracing the shopkeepers of every description, and is forced
into the more restricted channels of the dealers in broad.
That is to say, if the average price' of corn through any
one year be 50s. per quarter, and the succeeding year
the same average price be 705., the consumption remain-
ing the same, the difference to the public must be twenty
million pounds sterling expended on this article alone,
one year more than another. But this sum is abstracted
from the annual returns of every description of retail
tradesmen in greater or lesser amounts ; and through
their lessened returns its influence again and again
finds its way to every member of the mer-
cantile and manufacturing classes above them, who all
experience the effect of slackness of business, diminished
orders, and loss of trade. But this is not all; for seeing
that there is so vast a sum passing through the bankers'
clearing-house as one thousand millions, and that only a.
fraction of the general mass of mercantile returns, it is
impossible to doubt but that the simple twenty millions
diverted from general trade into one particular trade,
owing to a rise of price, as above explained, must cause
a diminution in the aggregate annual returns passing
through the hands of the commercial community generally
of, at the very lowest computation, ten times, if not twenty
times, the net amount so diverted—for who shall say
how often any given Bank note exchanges hands in the.
course of a year, or who will determine how much
would be spei;t if the ability to spend existed? . Where-
fore I conceive it is all but demonstrable that an advance
in the price of bread-corn of only 20s. per quarter must
cause a loss of mercantile returns to the general com-
mercial body throughout the United Kingdom of at
least two hundred millions per annum. And all this
diminution of general trade, it must be borne in mind,
falls exclusively on what is known, and prized so highly.,
as the home trade. All this arises from fluctuations in
the price of an article NVIIrCh is in daily and hourly con-
sumption, and which is the last thing the use of which
can be dispensed with, being the very staff of life.. To
this cause most of the existing distress in the country is.
to be charged ; and to this cause mainly is to be traced
the deranged state of the national finance. In the year
1835, the average price of wheat was 395. 4d.; in 18314
48s. 65.; whilst in the year 1839 the average price was
70s. Bd.; and in 1840 665. 4d. ; thus establish'.ag
greater difference than I have assumed, and thus tender-
ing manifest the immensity of the evil inflicted. by such
enormous fluctuation in price, which fluctuation in prico
is fostered, aggravated, and rendered unavoidable by an
express Act of Parliament, which refuses permission to.
correct the same, by insisting that the labour, capital,
and skill of one class alone shall be depended on for
procuring the needful supply, and by debarring all others
from exerting their labour, capital, and skill to the same
end, until after the evils I have enumerated and exhi-
bited have been in full operation, to the sorrow and suf-
fering of countless thousands.

I am not aware whether the great question of the
Corn-laws has been previously looked at in this point of
view, which, however, I conceive is one deserving of
attention from every practical man of business.—l run, &e.,

PRESTON AND WYRE RA ILWAY.--Yester—
day the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
Company was held at their offices in King William-
street. City. The Chair was to be taken by Sir Hesketh
Fleetwood, Burt. It appeared from the. report, which
was of considerable length, that in spite of the manu-
facturing distress and the unfavourable state of the
weather, the traffic on the railway from the Ist of April
to the Ist of October had been to the extent of 107,920
passengers, which was considerably beyond that of the
former half year. A steamer called the Express
daily plied on the lakes, and other steam-heats were
now going between Fleetwood and the Isle of Man,
Whitehaven, Liverpool, and Glasgow,
and a large. traffic was going on between Belfast and the
°
manufacturine. districts of Lancashire. The commerce
of the port of Fleetwood had increased so ex-
tensively as to dictate the necessity of a dock for
large vessels, and to leave the quay free for steam-boats
and coasters. The iron facing of the wharf at Fleet-
wood, and a pier for landing cattle at all times of tide,
were completed: A large edifice, called the North Eas-
ton Hotel, had been erected, and a church had been
finished and consecrated, and the new town of Fleet-
wood was forming rapidly. The works of the railwayi
stood well. The total cash for.traffic during the hat_
year was 20,841 L, which left a net profit, after oxpen the
