LIVES OF THE QUEENS. VOL. XI.
BY AGNES STRICKLAND.
" The Eleventh Volume of this truly charn,,ng history per:ectly
sustains the'authoress' reputation, in point alike of truthfulness, di-
ligence, and style. On the whole we must pronounce Miss dttick-
laud, beyond comparison, the meet entertaining historian in the
English langaage. Tho considerable number of new documents to
which she has had access, and the curious nature of some of these
documents, impal t to her production a character of which it would
be hard to determine whether the utility or the entertainment predo-
minated. The present volume is occupied with the reigns of Mary
11. and of Queen Anne. A more interesting or exciting era has not
been in the English annals, and we heartily recommend both lives to
the attention of the public."—Morning Post.

The Government policy with respect to the Bank
Charter Act is too plain to admit of any doubt. The
fearful extremity to which the operation of that fatal
law had reduced the country was so manifest that no
person could be found with sufficient hardihood to
deny the existence of a wide-spread and universal
distress, of a general want of confidence which led to
a total cessation of credit, and induced all those who
had the command of money to withdraw it from
circulation and hoard it up in their private coffers, in
order that they might have it in readiness at the
period when their own exigencies might require its
production. Fatal as were the results of this line
of conduct, we can scarcely censure the parties by
whom it was adopted. They were too well aware
of the stringent regulations contained in the Act of
1844 to hesitate upon the course which the instinct of
self-preservation induced them to pursue. They
knew, that however fair the future prospects of the
country might be—however certain the arrival of a
period when the storm would cease, and there would
be a partial restoration of prosperity, although but
for a brief and passing season—that the Bank di-
rectors could not act upon that knowledge, that they
were deprived of every species of discretion, and that
no matter what might be the consequences to the com-
mercial and manufacturing interests, and indeed to all
classes of society, even the very humblest, they were
utterly powerless, and could only issue a limited
amount of notes, unless an interposition of the Go-
vernment should take place, and, by suspending the
law, enable the directors to bring into circulation
an amount adequate to the wants of the nation.
When the Bank itself was visibly trembling and
hoarding up its own resources, it was by no means sur-
prising that the example should be followed, and that
every man should look to himself alone, and that
" sauve qui pent" should become the universal rule
of action. The general ;remonstrances that flowed
in from every quarter on this untoward state of
affairs compelled even the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to assent to the suspension of the
law, and although the tardy concession was
only granted at the eleventh hour, and was also ac-
companied by a condition as to the minimum rate of
discount, which materially reduced the value of the
boon, still its effects were almost magical, and the
happy results became immediately apparent. The
panic cerised, confidence was partially restored. The
Bank had at length the power of relieving the wants
of those, who had good security to offer, and it was
universtally believed that the fate of PEEL'S Act was
sealed, :and that immediately upon the meeting of
the Legislature, which had been summoned for an
early period, the exciting cause of all these evils
would be erased from the statute-book. We need,
not noN v inform our readers how futile was this
expects tion. On the very day of the opening
Speech from the Throne the Ministerial letter was
withdri iwn, and the provisions of the Act re-eetab-.
lished i n all their integrity, and during the debate'
which subsequently ensued the Chancellor of: the
Exchequer avowed his unshaken confidence in that
very 1 aw which he had himself consented to suspend,
and d eclared that the safety of the country was owing
to its operation. True, he moved for, and obtained,
a Cor nmittee " to inquire into the causes of the corn-
mere ial distress, and how far it had been affected by
the 'Jaws for regulating the issue of bank-notes pay-
able on demand." But when that Committee
WWI. nominated, and it was found to consist of
pe''sons, a large majority of whom were the
teiowed supporters of those laws, it became manifest
thrat the only object was to get rid of the question,
viith the hope that some trifling improvement might
induce the. people to remain quiet under their suffer-
ings, and still to endure the continuance of that law ;
and this opinion received additional confirmation in
the decided refusal to interfere in any manner with
the law until the report of that Committee had been
obtainer 1.
A certain degree of improvement has since taken
place. There is greater easiness in the money
mark( 'and better prices are obtainable for every
descr! iption of property ; but this is in spite
of tl me law, and not in any manner owing to its
resu' its. The opponents of the Act of 1844 have ever
mai astained that in periods of ordinary prosperity it
rer nains a dead letter, and has no effect whatever, but
ee a the approach of adversity the difficulties of the
fJountry are fearfully aggravated by its operation.
"ihe Bank has now an amount of bullion in its vaults
which renders it to a certain extent independent of
the law, but we may still asc. ibe the high rate of in-
terest that is still maintained (the minimum being 5
per cent., and that when there is nearly thirteen
m;llions of specie in both departments) to its con-

tinuance.
This, then, is the proper time for legisla-
tion on the subject. A great improvement
can only be effected when there is an ab-
sence 'of that excitement and irritation that might
possib ji lead to the adoption of rash and ill•consi-

not all the most appropriate facts and the most lo-
gical arguments, could exercise any influence what-
ever upon the obstinacy of the Vicar-General and
his clerical colleagues. The seductive adjurations of
the Apparitor-General were only repeated again and
again, to be again and again succeeded by the con-
tradiction of the superior celebrant. The Church
was gentle in language only to be discourteous in
act; he made promises only to be broken, and
called forth the opponents of Dr. Haerepeer by as-
surances of her suavity (" and you shall be heard!")
only to repulse them with bitterness and ignominy.
Yet, obnoxious as these anomalous formalities un-
questionably are, it is satisfactory that even they have
brought this deplorable controversy to a conclusion.
It is consolatory to reflect that anything, however,
reprehensible in itself, has silenced those intolerable
bickerings which have latterly reflected so much
disgrace upon the Establishment, and exposed its
most secret divisions to the contempt of the com-
munity. Dr. HeMF•DEN has at length been in-
ducted into the episcopal dignity. The representative
of the Primate and Metropolitan of all England has
confirmed the selection of the SOVEREIGN and ac-
quiesced in the appointment of the Prime Minister.
No further dissensions as to the meaning of a con-
tested passage in the Banzpton Lectures can henceforth
destroy the peace of mind of the Regius Professor
of Divinity, or harass the conscience of the Lord
Bishop of HEREFORD. • The verbal and actual
installation of Dr. HAMPDEN has afforded the most
conclusive response to the fiery protests of Bishop
PHILLPOTTS, and the milder, but not less emphatic,lob-
jections of Dean MERENVET lIER. Supposing Dr.
HAMPDEN did formerly hold doctrines such as are only
reconcileable with those of Socinianism, he has since
expressly proclaimed his belief in the divinity of
CHRIST, and his orthodox idea as to the oneness of
the Trinity. If an ecclesiastic were repulsed from
the fold of Christianity because he once entertained
notions of an heretical character, then ought Pane
the Apostle to have been rejected because he had
originally been a Pharisee, and CONSTANTINE denied
the glory of being the first of the Christian Emperors
because he had worehipiped the pagan deities before
his eyes had been greeted with the celestial promises.
In hoc sign winces ! But the cases even so far are
not analogous, for the Socinianism of Dr. HAMPDEN
at any period of his ministration has yet to be proven.
Howbeit the terrors of prcemunire have been so far
avoided, and the recommendations contained in the
conga (Mire have been fulfilled and consummated.

A letter from Berne, of the 6th, says, that on the
day on which SIEGWART MuLLER fled from Lucerne,
a French emissary arrived in that:city, having made a
long detour by way ofPiedmont,Valais,Furka, and Uri.
He was the bearer of directions from M. GUIZOT to
the Council of War of the Sonderbund to retire into
the primitive cantons, and to maintain themselves there
by an obstinate resistance, if only for a few days,
which would give France an opportunity of putting
in practice her threat of an armed intervention.
Austria has expelled from the university of
Pavia, every Swiss student who was in arms
against the Sonderbund. The venerable Bishop
of SOLEURE has addressed a circular to his
clergy, directing them to abstain from exciting dis-
orders.

A letter from Rome of the 94 says—
" The underhand schemes of the Jesuit party tend-
ing to irritate the people against the Sovereign, and
the Sovereign against the people, by means of false
rumours and insinuations cleverly combined, have
already been spoken of. This plan, so often and so
vainly employed, has just again failed, as you will
see from the following recital :—On the Ist, Rome
was sad and full of care ; the people who are gene-
rally so joyous and animated in the solemn fetes were
silent and disquieted. Certain words said in a low
tone, some phrases exchanged between the citizens,
spread rapidly over all the city, and gave an air of
painful anxiety to every face. The words which thus
checked all gaiety were to the effect that Pius IX.
would not receive the congratulations of his people ;
that he refused to present himself to witness the
proof of their affections. The excuse put forward
was that he:ss es ill and suffering. But the people
asked themselves in what respect they could have dis-
pleased him, and intimated that even if he were ill
he might have received a deputation which could have
passed silently before him as a mark of the public
grief. In a short time the people became distrustful,
and it then seemed to them impossible that the Pope,
who is so sure of the affection of his subjects, could
have refused to receive the homage of his people. It
was probable, said they, that these rumours were
machinations of the men of the 16th July of the
enemies of the people and the Sovereign.' The people
then hastened to the Palace Corsini to see the Prince
Corsini, the Senator. They told him the rumour
which afflicted Rome, described to him the public
grief, and with one voice supplicated him to conduct
them to the Quirinal to ascertain the truth, and to
express their good wishes, love, confidence, and de-
votedness towards Pius IX. The Prince Corsini corn-
plied with these prayers, for he shared the senti-
ments which agitated the people. He went alone to
the Quirinal, the people in obedience to his desire
having refrained from following him. At first a re-
fusal was given to receive him. His firmness, his
obstinacy triumphed over the refusal ; and, leaving
the Secretary of State occupied in giving orders to
prevent an imaginary revolution which lying reports
had predicted for the night, he arrived in the presence
of the Sovereign Pontiff. There the veil was torn
away ! The Pope and the people of Rome again found
themselves worthy of each other; both had been
shamefully deceived. What 1' said the Sovereign
Pontiff, my people refused to come, and express to
me their good wishes ? What! my people, on whose
affection I have so many rights, shows itself so
little affectionate—so cold towards me ?" But, Holy
Father,' answered the senator, you forbade the
people to come to the Quirinal, and your people, al-
ways obedient to your orders, have refrained from
coming, knowing you to be suffering and ill, but
have sent me to express its grief to you, and to state
the wishes which it forms for your Holiness On
this, the Pope said that it was false he was ill, or
that he had given any order, and he added, As
my people are prevented from coming to me, I will
go to-morrow and see them !"fo-day, Sunday.
Rome presents an imposing and sublime, aspect !
The Holy Father is traversing all the city,' accom-
panied by universal acclamations, stopping before
the posts of the civic guards, greeting and blessing
the multitude, which, if possible, is more animated
than ever. orne is in the midst of a fete, a grand
fête, for she has just sealed her alliance with the best
of sovereigns, to deceive whom an attempt has been
made—she has just baffled in a striking manner, the
underhand plots of her enemies, and has given them
a lesson which, it is to be hoped, will not be for-
gotten."
Another letter of the same date states that on the
Ist of January a rumour was spread that the people
intended to attack the Jesuit establishments. The
guard were consequently called out; but after
being under arms for some time they *ere dis-
missed, it appearing that there was no ground for
the alarm.

The Liberal party says that it is the enemies of
Reform who are trying to get up riots, in order to
throw discredit on the Liberal movement.
The disturbances at Milan, on the 3d and 4th in•
stant, were of a very serious character. A collision
took place between the people and the Austrian
troops. The latter attacked :the people, who to the
amount of 30,000 were peaceably assembled OA the
Corso, fired upon them, and killed five. The people
became exasperated and attacked the different mili-
tary posts, disarming the sentinels ; after which they
proceeded to the barracks, where a terrific conflict
took place, and several were killed on both sides:
The fighting was going on when the accounts were
sent off ; the result therefore is not known.
The correspondent of the National says that, on
the sth Marshal RADETSKY marched 20,000 Aus-
trian troops into the city, and tranquillity was re-
stored.

N. Madrid papers of the sth have arrived.

Tha chamber was then addressed by PIDAL, after
"which the debate was adjourned. It is expected that
there will be a large majority in favour of the im-
peachment.

The debate on the Address commenced in the
Chamber of Peers on Monday. The discussion was
commenced by Count D'ALTON SIIEE, who declared,
that in the conduct of foreign affairs, the Ministers
had so acted as to be unworthy of the confidence of
the Chamber ; and with regard to Switzerland, he
declared that the conduct of M. GUIZOT was incon-
sistent with the principles of liberty which the revo-
lution of July had sanctioned. After a short speech
from M. VILLIER DU TEIMAGE in favour of the Minis-
ters, M. MuyNaas declared that, although he was a
Conservative, be felt bound to protest against the
language which bad been applied to the reform meet-
;igs. Certainly, grave abuses existed in the Admi-
nistration, and some reform was necessary. This
closed the general discussion, and the Chamber pro-
ceeded to consider the Address paragraph by para-
graph. Having passed the first paragraph, they
adjourned.

On Tuesday the discussion on the Address VirPS re-
sumed. The first four paragraphs were agreed to. In
the discussion on the fifth, the Marquis DE Bois
stigmatised M. Guizor As a broker of corruption.

M. GUIZOT said that he should not reply to the per-

sonaiities of M. DE BOISSY, but denied that the Mi-
nistry had anything to do with the acts of corruption
of which the Noble Peer complained. Count 141oLE
began to address the Chamber, and was left speaking

at post h0u7...
The Deputy for the Gironde, M. llErtvE, com-
mitted suicide on Tuesday.

The Covrrier Francais has the following

"We are informed as a fact that the Council of
Ministers has ratified the convention made between
Abd-el-Kader and the Duke d'Aumale. This news
is said to have arrived at Toulon, and has been an-
nounced to A bd-el-Kader, who has signified his
option in favour of St. Jean d'Acre. Immediately
thereupon a steamer is said to have been sent off to
Constantinople, with dispatches from the French
Government to our Ambassador. It is stated that
these dispatches enjoin M. de Bourqueney to
come to an arrangement with the Porte for keeping
a strict watch over Abd-el-Kader."

On the other hand, it is said that the KING has
invited AID•EL-KADER to Paris, and that it is in-
tended to endeavour to persuade him to remain in
France.

The joint note of Austria, Prussia, and France has
been presented to the Diet. After declaring that
" the Powers merely guaranteed the neutrality of
Switzerland, and granted her an augmentation of
territory, and other advantages, on condition that the
cantonal Sovereignty should be maintained as the
principal basis of the federal compact," the three
Cabinets declare—

" 1. That the cantonal Sovereignty cannot be con-
sidered really to exist so long as certain cantons
shall continue to be occupied by the federal troops,
and after the acts which accompanied that occu-

pation.
" 2. That it is only when the cantons thus occu-
pied shall have recovered their independence, and
freely elected their Governments, that the Confedera-
tion can be considered as restored to a regular con-
dition, conformable to the treaties.

"3. That the reduction to a peace footing of the
military force of all the cantons is the necessary
guarantee of their mutual liberty.
"4. That no alteration can be introduced into the
constitution without the unanimous consent of the 22
cantons."

In conclusion, the note states that " the engage-
ments of the great Powers with the Confederation and
of the Confederation with the great Powers are
mutual," and that " neither can be eluded without
and suspending the others ;" and that
situation of affairs in Switzerland were

compromising
" if the actual

to endure, the great Powers would deem themselves
bound to take it into their serious consideration, and
in future to consult only their duties as members of
the great European,family, and the interests of their
own respective States."

In speaking of this note the Constitutionnel says—

" The dispatch of Lord Palmerston, of the 27th
December, appears to be a complete answer to this
note. Thus M. Guizot declares that the sovereignty
of the cantons is violated by the military occupation
of the insurgent cantons ; he protests against the
elections which have just been made in those cantons,
and on the other hand he makes the inviolability of
the Swiss territory subordinate to the maintenance of
the sovereignty of the cantons us understood by the
Powers. England affirms, on the contrary, that the
inviolability remains complete, and that it will be re-
spected by the Powers. This shows how serious the
difference is."

The attempt on the part of M. GUIZOT to suppress
this dispatch of Lord PALMERSTON, of the 27th De-
cember, is commented on severely in these papers
as another instance of that want of good faith for
which M. GUIZOT has become proverbial. Even the
Presse—the English-hating Presse—is, in this in-
stance, compelled to do justice to the policy of Lord
PALMERSTON. It says—
" The English Cabinet demonstrates, what indeed
is incontestable,:that the inviolability of the Helvetic
territory, and the neutrality of the people who inhabit
it, were stipulated in 1815, less for the interest of
Switzerland than for the advantage of the Powers in
the midst of which that country is placed. It was a
guarantee which Austria gave herself against the pos-
sibility of seeing France one day borrowing this in-
termediate territory, in order to strike a more direct
blow at her in case of rupture—it was to interdict
the twenty-two cantons, in a permanent manner,
from having the faculty to serve as an advanced
guard against her. Up to the present time, the idea
prevailed that Lord Palmerston, in withdrawing
from the concert to which he had at first adhered,
had only been anxious to thwart the views of M.
Guizot ; but it is now clear that his withdrawal had
another object. An intervention, according to the
English Government, would be a violation of treaties,
and would open against those who should attempt
it a positive right to others to commence reprisals.
Certainly, after that declaration, we are perfectly
sure that the intervention will be at once abandoned,
and M. Guizot, lately so enterprising, will more than
ever confine himself to piping forth, on his innocent
reed, about the troubled happiness of Switzerland.
But is it not worthy of notice, the strange tact with
which another grave difficulty has been raised up
with England? It would have been certainly very
awkward if the Minister of Foreign Affairs had per-
sisted to the end in not presenting Lord Palmerston's
dispatch of December 27, since it is a necessary epi-
logue in the business. If it is the Committee on the
Address in the Chamber of Peers which called for that
supplement of the documents, thanks be rendered to
it ! The adversaries of the policy followed in the
Swiss question cannot but rejoice at what has now
been done."
From the tenor of this article in the Presse, it
would seem that the views of Russia on the Swiss
question coincide with those of England. It will
be observed that no Russian Minister attended the

conferences.
The Marquis D'ARAaoN, Peer of France, died on
Sunday.

MARKET NEWS.- (THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
We have again to report the arrival of a very moderate
supply of English Wheat for our market coastwise.
To-day the show of samples of that grain was small, and
all descriptions commanded a steady, though not to say
brisk, inquiry, at fully Monday's quotations. The im-
ports of foreign Wheat, since Saturday, have been under
6,000 quarters, almost wholly from Russia. Fine dry
samples were in moderate request, at full prices ; but all
other qualities were neglected. Barley :was somewhat
firmer than of late, and prices were well supported. Al-
though the supply of Malt was small, the trade was
heavy at lute rates. There was more disposition mani-
fested to purchase Oats, but without any improvement
in value. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were a slow
sale. Flour was held at very full prices.

HEALTH OF THE TOWN OF DniuwALL—Unfounded
reports of typhus lever being very prevalent in the town
of Dingwall, have been widely circulated throughou
the country for the last few days, thereby creating a de-
gree of terror in the minds of the people, of a most in-
jurious kind. We :ire happy, to state, however, that, so
tar from this being the case, only one or two cases have
occurred, which were confined to one family, and that
the town of Dingwall has not been in a more healthy
state than at present fur a considerable time past.—
Ross-shire Advertiser.
EARL OF CARLISLE.—We have much pleasure in
stating that the health of .this venerable nobleman is
improving. The accounts received in town last evening
describe the Noble Earl to have much improved. Vis-
count Morpeth and other members of the family are
still in attendance at Castle Reward.
