AGRICULTURAL

LANARKSHIRE.

JULY 22.—From every part of the country there is a
highly favourable account of the state of the crops of
every denomination. At one time it was feared that
there would be a deficiency of straw, in consequence
of the drought in June ; but the rains that have
since fallen, although late enough, have stretched
the stalk to such a length, as satisfactorily to
prove that even the animals of the lower creation
will have their share also. What is designed for the
use of man will be ample ; and happy for the country
that it is so—for all hope of relief from Parliamentary
legislation is, for a time, at an end. The late rains have
rather lodged some of the earlier and weightier grain ;
but, being still comparatively light in the head, a very
short tract of drought will suffice to set it up erect.
Oats are expected to turn out more than an ave-
rage ; barley will not be below it ; and wheat is
expected not to fall far short. The potato crop
never afforded richer promise. Of these, Glasgow,
Paisley, and all the towns on the west coast, have
already a large supple from Ireland (would to God the
people were as much blessed as the soil), large and good,
so low as 9d. a stone. This is still too dear, how-
ever, for the poor operative ; but another fortnight
will afford him a purchaseable meal of these, and a
few of the new excellent Lochfine salt herrings—for
beef, mutton, or lamb—poor man—he dare not ap-
approach ; nay, even the produce of the dairy, abun-
dant as it is, is ruinous. And what are his prospects
from Tory rule? Nothing but "Peel and eat," and peel
on, until he himself have nothing but skin to peel from
his own bones. Unfavourable as the period was for
the first sowing of turnips, they have since got away
well; but the second is considerably a head; both, how-
ever, promise fair. From the moorlands, the store-farmer
smiles very cheerfully—his pasture never was richer,

BART.

A general impression exists that Parliament will meet
for the despatch of -business on the 19th of next month
(August), but that is by no means certain. The writs
are returnable on that day, but the meeting of the Legis-
.latttee must' be convened by proclamation, agreed upon
by her Majesty in. Council. On the death of his late
Majesty, William the Fourth, in 1837, Parliament was
prorogued on the 17th of July following ; and on the
same evening an Extraordinary Gazette was published,.
dissolving it. On that occasion the writs were made re •
turnable on the 11th of September following. On the
21st of August (three weeks previous) a Privy Council
was held at Windsor Castle, when a proclamation was
agreed upon postponing the meeting of Parliament until
the 2d of October ; previous, however, to that day, an-
ether Privy Council was held by her Majesty, at Wind-
sor (Wednesday, the 20th of September) when a second
proclamation was issued, further postponing the meet-
ing of Parliament, from Monday, the 2d of October, to
Wednesday, the 15th of November, then to meet for the
despatch of business.
On the 2d of October the Lord Chancellor, Lord King,
and Lord Foley, as Lords Commissioners, took their
seats in the House of Lords, when the officers of the
Commons having appeared at the bar, the Queen's
" writ" was read, commanding the Lords spiritual and
temporal, and the Members of the Commons to give their
attendance at Westminster on Wednesday, the 15th day
of November, for the dispatch of divers urgent and ins
portant affairs. On the last mentioned day both Houses
met, the Commons at one o'clock, and the Lords at a
quarter before two o'clock, when shortly afterwards there
was a Royal Commission in the House of Lords, to which
the Commons were summoned. The Lords Commis-
sioners then informed the Members of the Commons that
their first duty was to elect a Speaker, and as soon as one
of their body had been appointed, he must be presented
for her Majesty's approtation ; they would then proceed
to take the oaths of allegiance, &c. &c. ; that being done,
her Majesty would come down and open the business of
the Session with a speech from the Throne.
The Commons immediately afterwards retired, and
Mr. Abercromby was proposed by the late Speaker (Mr.
S. Lefevre), seconded by Mr. Strutt, and elected with-
out any opposition being offered. The remainder of the
week, from Wednesday, the 15th of November, was oc-
cupied in administering the oaths to Members ; and on
Monday, the 20th, her Majesty opened the first session
of her Parliament with a speech from the Throne. On
Saturday, the 23d of December following, her Majesty
went down to the House of Lords and gave her Royal
assent to several Bills, but there was no speech from the
Throne, and on that day both Houses adjourned until
Tuesday, the 16th of January, 1838.

LORD WM. PAGET AND SIR JOHN POLLEN,

ANDOVER, JULY 27, 1841.—Lord William Paget, our
recently-elected Member of Parliament, was taken into
custody and brought before a bench of Magistrates, on
Monday night, at a late hour, under a warrant, for the
purpose of his being bound over to keep the peace to-
wards Sir John Pollen, Bart. The circumstances giving
rise to this affair will be better explained by a perusal of
the correspondence which took place between his Lord-
ship and Sir John on the occasion, a copy of which w e

tion resorted to for that purpose they (the electors) could
have returned a jackass to Parliament." The officers of
her Majesty's navy not permitting offensive expressions
to be applied in conjunction with their names with im-
punity, I call upon you either to give me your unqualified
denial of the correctness of the statement, or satisfaction.
In the latter case I require you at once to name a friend
with whom, aad one on my behalf, the matter may be
forthwith arranged.

RESEMBLANCE OF LORDS AND SAVAGES.
—There is often, in fact, no material difference between
the enjoyments of the highest ranks and those of the
rudest stages of society. If the life of many young Eng-
lish noblemen and an Iroquois in the forest, or an Arab
in the desert are compared, it will be found that their real
sources of happiness are nearly the same. The treasures
of science, the refinements of taste, the luxuries of wealth,
are in many cases disregarded or forgotten, and theexci-
tation of life depends on the destruction of wild animals
or the management of impetuous steeds. This is a fact
which is a matter of daily observation ; and it furnishes
a most instructive lesson as to the proportion established
by nature between the active and speculative part of
mankind. The great majority in every class of society
are incapable of receiving happines from any source
but from physical excitation ; and every other plan for
human improvement which is founded on any other sup
position will necessarily fail. Nor is it without good
reason that nature has established this disproportion be.
twecn the studious and active part of the species.. The
great mass of undertakings essential to the existence and
the welfare of mankind, depend on physical exertion ;
and, unless the greater part of our fellow-creatures were
disposed to that species of labour, and gratified with the
enjoyments that attend it, the race would speedily
perish, and the speculations of science disappear with
the individuals who formed them.—Allison's Principles
of Population.
BADEN, JULY 18.--The Grand Duke gave
an audience to-day to a deputation of the Second Ch -
ber, which waited on him with the sanction of the two
Chambers, to the project of law for the prolongation of
the Customs' Union. His Highness, in answer to Dr.
Bader, the spokesman of the deputation, said, " I had
no doubt that the two Chambers would unanimously
agree to this proposal ; they are certain of my approba-
tion whenever they study the true interest of the
try. I am convinced that our participation in the Custom-
house will, in the result, be of verb- groat advantage to
my subjects."

The notions prevailing in England respecting the com-
mercial position and legislation of the States forming the
Germanic Confederation appear to be so confused that
a concise statement of facts as they exist may be of ser-
vice. This confusion of ideas has on several occasions
induced English writers, both in official and private sta-
tions, to adopt too unreservedly the statements of Ger-
mans whose opinions have weight at home, but who
have not much clearer views than their neighbours on
commercial matters. Their dependence upon German
representations is evident to all who know Germany, in
every page of Dr. Bowring's Report, and pervades the
greater part of the intermitting correspondence furnished
by travellers to our newspapers and periodicals.
The notion of the union produced in Germany by the
adoption of the Prussian tariff is a most fruitful source
of misapprehension both with us and abroad. The treaty
by which a number of the German States agreed to
adopt one and the same tariff, in order to abolish the
lines of custom guards which separated their respective
States from each other, and to reduce the expense as
well as the obnoxious operations of the impediments
to commerce to the ring fence which divides them
from foreign lands, was a proposal which would
deserve all the encomiums lavished upon it by
the German authors, if it had ever fairly been
carried into effect. It is, however, in a great measure,
clogged by the numerous exceptions occasioned by a dis-
crepancy m financial regulations. Thus, salt is every-
where a monopoly,• and is sold dearer in some countries
than in others. Wine and spirits, as well as beer, are
more highly taxed in Prussia than in the south, and
must pay differential duties on passing ihto that king-
dom from the other States, with other exceptions, which
oblige carriers of merchandise to stop for a revision of
their loads, at fixed frontier stations, and to keep to ap-
pointed lines of road, even within the limits of the Zoll-
verein. With regard to the duties on foreign produce
and manufactured goods, most of the States have peculiar
systems of Corn-laws, some adopting a sliding scale, and
others a fixed rate of duty ; while Prussia claims a right
of introducing a quantity of stuffs from the factories
established in its Swiss province of Neufchatel. The
transit duties, too, are different upon goods entering
Germany by the Rhine, the Elbe, and the Baltic ports.
In matters of navigation the inland States have hitherto
not been interested ; otherwise the existing Prussian
navigation laws, which impose differential duties upon
the shipping of States which have not entered into special
treaties of reciprocity with Prussia, would show a
greater deviation from the principle of union than those
to which I have alluded.
Here is now the point which must not be lost sight of,
especially in the contraction of diplomatic relations with
Germany. The " Zollverein" consists only in an agree-
ment between a certain number of States to adopt cer-
tain portions of a tariff proposed by Prussia. It exists,
therefore, externally only as a combination of indepen-
dent States to impose fixed duties upon foreign merchan-
dise ; internally, as a similar association of States, for
the procuring of certain facilities of intercourse for their
respective subjects. Both objects have been attained,
with limitations and exceptions, by the free agency of
each individual State ; but these States are no more
amalgamated into one body or one commercial nation,
than the nations composing the Holy Alliance were by
that famous compact. Each country can at will with-
draw from the League, and assume an independent posi-
tion ; each nation treats separately with foreign Powers;
questions of importance must be discussed by special Am-
bassadors sent for the purpose to a place of meeting, to
be fixed on the emergency. There is no central board,
no executive delegate, no standing committee, no seal,
no cognizance, no flag. Under these circumstances, how
can treaties be concluded with the Zollverein as such ?
Where does it exist ? It has never constituted itself as
a body politic.

With this incorporate Corporation the German pa-
pers tell us that a treaty has been concluded by the Bri-
tish Government under the Act passed last Session,
which allows the most convenient harbours for an export-
ing inland State to be declared harbours of that State. In
the present case the harbours in the German Ocean
lying between the Meuse and the Elbe inclusively, are
declared to be harbours for the German inland States
belonging to the Zollverein, in the same manner as if
they were situated within those States. This would, of
course, allow each of the States named to export its own
produce in its own vessels, or such produce as it should
have imported to Great Britain and its dependencies,
provided always the Government of the harbour in ques-
tion had no objection. The writers in the Prussian
State Gazette, which, from its position at Berlin, is
looked upon in Germany as an official organ, have
occasioned a warm dispute by claiming more than
the privileges above stated under this treaty. They
declare it to be a convention concluded with the Zoll-
verein, conferring on the vessels of all the States
of this League the right of carrying all the produce
of the Zollverein from the harbours in question. Other
writers, who do not see how such a privilege can
be granted under our present navigation laws with-
out the especial sanction of Parliament, have warned
their countrymen amainst acting upon this interpretation
of the treaty, as the custom-house officers, in the case
of the celebrated treaty of Milan, showed that they were
well versed in geographical distinction. As the other
States have at present no shipping, the matter is only of
secondary practical interest to them, and the effect of
any such stipulation as that above mentioned would only
be for the present to allow Prussian vessels to carry the
produce of the other German States and what had been
imported into the Hanse Towns, to Great Britain.
As a question of principle, however, a general dissa-
tisfaction with Prussia prevails throughout Germany on
this point, which has not been sparingly expressed
through the press, and which substantiates in the ildlest
manner my assertion rsspecting the want of the forms,
and of the ostensible and responsible agents of a corpo-
rate body. The feeling of discontent at the power as.
sumed by Prussia to conclude a treaty in the name of all
the other States without consulting any of the parties most
interested, is very strong. The greater part of the other
States have constitutional charters and representative as-
semblies, which give the people a voice in matters a
public interest; and it is perhaps natural that the Prussian
Government, which does not allow the exercise of these
rights to its subjects, should be disposed to pay little
attention to them elsewhere. The discussion of the sub-
ject has moreover raked up all the distinctions which
Prussia has the appearance of sedulously preserving,
and which shows how precarious the tenure is upon
which even the present loose degree of union is hold.
'The fact, that, by the existing letter of the Prussian law
the vessels of the other States (if they had any) are ex-
cluded from the Baltic harbours ; while Prussia, with-
out asking their consent, negotiates for herself, and for
them, upon a footing of equality,—the remembrance
that in the new coinage of two-dollar silver pieces,
which are intended to (Amulet° in the whole of the Zoll-
verein, and in which several German States even altered
their standard of coinage, and adopted that of Prussia,
for the sake of unanimity,—this Power alone put its arms
upon its coin, in place of a wreath of oakleaves, which
the others had adopted. Above all, this summary mode
of concluding a treaty of such importance single-handed
with a foreign power, and placing them in the false po-
sition of having only the choice of adopting it as it is
presented, or by breaking up the league by its rejection,
are most acutely felt, especially in southern Germany.
That such a state of things is little calculated to in-
vite such of the German States as have hitherto re-
fused to adhere to the " Zollverein," is pretty clear,
even if commercial interests did not oppose to prevent
them. How could cities like Hamburgh, Bremen, and
Lubeck, consent to lay the management of matters so
delicate as commercial arrangements in the hands of a
board of schoolmen at Berlin, or of Baron this and
Count the other, who may, for very different qualifica-
tions,
have been appointed Ambassadors at Londo,
Paris, Rio de Janeiro, or Washington ? Have
w from this one proceeding, a clear proof that the intee
rnesotst,
of commerce are as indifferently understood by
men abroad as with ourselves, and that thenotsitaontesof
good accruing to any party from the resignationa of the
management of their own affairs on the of Hanover,
the danse Towns, Tulinekenburgh, to so u.nse,,r9ulous
a power as that now gin the " Zollverein, is more
than a chimerical notion ? It is downright inad think it may fairly be questioned whether the conclusion
of two such treaties as that with Austria
a ustria and the Ger-
man States of the Zollverein, is h
step which,under
the present complicated nature of
ourcommereiai rela-
tions, may involve serious loss to individuals and to the
nation.

An instance of the mischief that may arise from such
a proceeding is afforded byh the treaty in question. The

large portion of our manufactures, for a double real )n—
because it deprives us of a larger qit, while it impove-
rishes the countries concerned by lilting them to pay-
more dearly than they ought for clothing, and thus pre-
vents them from being consumers of other commodities.
All ordinary articles of clothing in Prussia are fully 50
. per cent, dearer than they need be, and even with this
protection the German manufacturer is not content. Is
it necessary, then, for us to add any inducement to those
countries which have not joined this league to do so ?
Should we not rather hold out every inducement to the
States of the League to approximate their tariff and to
adapt their commercial institutions to the wants of their
subjects and the demands of an enlightened age ?
The greater part of our commercial relations with the
other countries of Europe, may be regulated without the
necessity of touching. on what are considered questions
of principle. By a judicious use of the means at our ,
disposal, there is no nation which our extensive demand
and accumulated capital cannot force to adopt a fair sys-
tem of trade, if we offer a fair enjoyment of these ad-
vantages in our turn.
Far be it from me to disparage the acquirements
which our statesmen obtain at our universities ; but if
they have spent their time well at those institutions, they
will have learnt by the time they leave them how much
they have yet to learn. If Ministers will assume the

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
The gloom which hung over the Manchester market,
in consequence of the continental bankruptcies alluded to
last week, has beon deepened by accounts of very exten- • •
sive failures at Paisley, where thirteen houses ar.. said to
have stopped payment, at the latter end of last week, for
an amount, collectively, about 300,0001. Though the im-
mediate effect of these failures upon parties resident in Man-
chester will probably not be very serum s,they are calculated
to inspire great distrust, and, coupled with two or three
failures which have recently occurred in this town,
had, no doubt, a material effect upon the market yes-
terday, which was one of the worst that has been ex-
perienced during the present year. Yarns and goods
were both depressed in price ; and very few sales could
be made, even at the very lowest rates hitherto cur- •
rent. The depression was probably in some degree
increased by the unfavourable appearance of the wea-
ther, which, after three or four comparatively favour-
able days, has again put on a threatening appearance ;
and serious fears are now entertained that a • late and
defective harvest may be added to the other causes
which press with such tremendous severity upon the
manufacturing interests. Two large spinning and ma-
nufacturing concerns, one at Macclesfield and tha
other at Stockport, which have been for some time past
worked under the inspection of creditors, are about to be
closed, in consequence of the unprofitable nature of the
business. It is stated that the stoppage at Stockport will
only be temporary; but that, we presume, must depend
in some degree upon the future state of the trade. In.
the mean time, at all events, the effect upon the work-
people will be very serious.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 26.
We have had another brisk market to-day, and the
buyers have.. purchased freely at last- week's int.es.
Wool still'cz
..noes to a(Wance tle ; yet the manu-
facturers buy very sparingly, under the impression that
the present prices cannot long be maintained.
HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JULY 27. —There is nothing
new in the state of this market—the same heaviness
which has so long been noticed, is still too apparent,
especially in woollens. In light fancies there is more
doing, and fair prices are realized. In the warehouses
perhaps it may be said there is a slight improvement.
On the whole, bad as things are, it is some satisfaction
that business is no worse.
STATE OF TRADE AT STOCKPORT.—The utmost dis-
tress prevails among the manufacturing population of
this town, in consequence of the number of hands out
of employ, and the short time which has been worked
at a number of mills during several months. This
state of things, we are sorry to say, is likely to be aug-
mented, as the whole of the workpeople employed at
Messrs. Lane's mills, situate in Higher Hillgate ; and
Newbridge-lane, will be thrown out of employment this
week end,—they having received notice that the concerns
will be closed, and their services no longer required.
The above extensive establishments have for several
years been working under inspection. Upwards of 1,000
hands will be thrown out of employment by the stoppage
of these mills.
