The plea upon which Mr. President Pout has
endeavoured to justify his proceedings towards the
neighbouring republic is utterly inadmissible. He
. has, in this Message, built up a fabric
of arguments apparently of adamantine strength,
, but really of the most perishable brittle-
, ness. It may resist the assaults of imbecility
and credulity, bat it crumbles down at the mere
breath of Reason. It is gratifying to turn from the
loquacious folly of the bulk of the Message to the
sensible and plain-spoken remarks at its conclusion.
Upon the Mexican question, Mr. POLK is as gro-
tesque and extravagant as any dancing dervish; upon
the free-trade question, he is marvellously staid and
respectable. Referring to the recent triumphs over
monopoly in the two hemispheres, he observes :
" By the simultaneous abandonment of the protective
policy by Great Britain and the United States, new and
important markets have already been opened for our
agricultural and other products ; commerce and navi-
gation have received a new impulse ; labour and trade
have been released from the artificial trammels which
have so long fettered them ; and to a great extent re-
ciprocity, in the exchange of commodities, has been in-
troduced at the same time by both countries, andgreatly
for the benefit of both."
And, beyond this, he remarks, very truthfully, but
very ungrammatically, that " it is confidently be-
lieved that other Powers of Europe will ultimately
see the wisdom, if they be not compelled by the pau-
perism and sufferings of their crowded population, to
pursue a similar policy." It must not be overlooked,
however, that the Legislature of the United States has
not so thoroughly eradicated the abuses of what is
miscalled Protection as the Parliament at West-
minster has done. In England, we have already more
freedom of importation and exportation than that
enjoyed by the Americans ; and we have, moreover,
in England what they have not in America,
namely, a prospective guarantee for the realisation of
a perfect emancipation to commerce. The Americans
have lopped off the branches of the mercantile Upas,
whereas we have torn it up, roots and branches. In
two years and a few months its last frag-
ments will be destroyed, and its existence virtually
forgotten. If President POLK only facilitate the in-
troduction of the full principles of free trade into the
American code, he will in some measure expiate his
previous conduct.

The dispatch which Earl GREY has addressed to
he Governor of New Zealand is, unquestionably, a
document of great ability and importance. As a
colony New Zealand presents features of remarkable
interest to the contemplation of the Englishman. It
is rendered peculiarly striking by a consideration of its
points of close resemblance to those which are prominent
in the British isles. By its geographical and insular
position, by its geological characteristics and resources,
its capacious and excellent harbours, its healthy cli-
! mate, fertile soil, and large afforested tracts of land,
New Zealand seems to have been marked out by na-
ture to fulfil the same glorious destiny in the other
hemisphere, which, in our own in particular—
not to speak of her national triumphs of civilisa-
tion in more distant parts of the universe—has
been so magnificently accomplished by the
imperial sway of Great Britain. Dependent
tie we are for our national supremacy
upon the extent and strength of our colonies, the reck-
less indifference with which the home authorities
have at times regarded them, particularly during their
infantile state, is highly censurable, and scarcely to
be believed. The consequence has been that perplex-
ing evils of considerable magnitude have sprung up,
which could easily have been averted had the mother
country paid but ordinary attention to the solemn
duties naturally incident to, and coincident with, the'
assumption of sovereignty over territories either newly
discovered or conquered by the sons of civilization.
Ce n'est que le premier pas qui route ; and had the go-
vernance of New Zealand, shortly after its attachment
to the Crown of these realms, been placed in the hands
of men well skilled in national jurisprudence, and
properly versed in the principles of our constitution
'we should have already been reaping the fruits of a
gradual, systematic, and felicitous development of the
physical resources and the social prosperity
of the numerous emigrants to this important
,colony. Instead of this, we have throughout
I only witnessed miserable distractions, and perpetual
' heartburnings between the governors and the go-
verned of a kindred race. The truth is, that the Ex-
ecutive and the Legislature of Great Britain re-
mained culpably inactive with respect to the welfare
of New Zealand, and displayed naught but a sluggish
indifference to the establishment of any sound and
permanent bodies politic, till the genius and enter-
prise of the British merchant and capitalist had in-
vested her with an importance that effectually de-
manded the zealous attention of the responsible ad-
visers of the Crown to the growing wants of an ill-
organized yet rapidly increasing community. When
the home authorities had, by these means, been
quickened into action, a petty, piecemeal, and inter-
meddling spirit was exhibited in the place of any
comprehensive, well-digested scheme of colonial ad.
ministration. Nothing of vigour pervaded our
councils in Downing-street. No bold outlines of
policy were traced for extrication from past difficul-
ties and errors, and for giving stability to the
political progress of the English settlers.
Contrariwise, our State nurses resorted to
timorous, weak, and ineffective measures ;
ill calculated to dissolve anarchic factions and still
the swelling animosities between the aborigines and
the emigrants on the one hand, and the Government
and the emigrants on the other. In 1840 a charter
was granted devoid of symmetrical authority. It
hal the negative merit of distributing power between
the New Zealand Company and the Colonial Depart-
ment, so as efficaciously to prevent all harmonious
operation for the advantage of the settlers. Anta-
gonistic forces were ingeniously planned and created
with so little of just correspondence to the object in
view, that all efficient control for colonial exigencies
was placed beyond the reach of either.
This unseemly and pernicious state of things was
happily put an end to in the last session of Parlia-
ment; the charter of 1840 was repealed, and an Act
.passed for the improved government of New Zealand.
By virtue of the latter her MAJESTY has just granted
a new charter, the precise nature whereof, tend the
spirit in which it is meant to be carried into effect, is
accurately stated, and elaborately and most ably
elucidated, by the instructions contained in the dis-
patch of Earl GREY, to which we have, in the outset,
alluded. As we gave this, and its accompanying docu-
ments, in extenso, in our columns of the day before yes-
terday, suffice it, for a summary of them, that the
change about to be wrought is a fundamental one *hat
.it adheres, as closely as circumstances will allow, to the
model of our English institutions; that, in one word,
.it is framed upon the principle of allowing " the
iettlers to participate much more largely in. the
business of legislation and local self-government."
Independently of the intrinsic value of lord
(GREY'S instructions to the colony to which they bear
;immediate reference, we derive intense satisfaction
7i:from the reflection, that there are embodied in them
}principles of colonial administration of such sound,
liberal, and comprehensive significance, that we feel
.4;eustified in congratulating the country that a new
ictolonial era is auspiciously dawning upon us.
T'o the fruitful topic of discussion—whether the ;eh-es iginal inhabitants of any country are entitled to
every portion of its soil beyond what they occupy, or
ha ve been accustomed to use, vast and fereide
as the uncultivated remainder may be Earl
UR EY has addressed his mind with consum mate
ability, and (as it seems to us) with unequivocal .suc-
cest . But as this is a subject in which it would be
futile to expect an unanimous concurrence of opinceon,
ms it is one which, if it had been rightly understood
,n the first instance by our countrymen in New
"Zealand, would have saved them from many unhappy
',.*nd profitless dissensions ; and as it is one of the
' •Te. 1 test consequence to some of our existing, and may
lie to many of our future dependencies, we shall take
an early opportunity of giving it a fuller considera-
tic n than could be afforded to it within our present
lie zits.

gratifying to find that it has been the means
of benefiting so many deaf persons, who, but for
the benefits conferred upon them by this institu-
tion, must have been totally disqualified for those duties
by the due performance of which they are alone enabled
to earn " day by day their daily bread." It must be
a proud and a gratifying reflection to Mr. DurToN,
the talented surgeon of this institution, and to whom
Birmingham is indebted for its existence, that he
has been the means, under PROYIDENCE, of saving so
many of his fellow-creatures from poverty and utter
destitution. Few provincial towns are so fortunate as
to command the services of a DUFTON, but in every
provincial town of any_size, surely some surgeon is to
be found capable of undertaking the management of en
institution for the cure of deafness. Let every pro-
vincial town therefore follow the example of Birming-
ham and establish such an institution. The expense
of establishing and maintaining it will not be great,
while the benefits to be derived from it will be incal-
culable.

A lettor from Rome of the 18th says
"An excessive cold, accompanied by snow, has suc-
ceeded here the inundation. The population is the more
sensitive to these variations of temperature that i: is not
accustomed to them. A commission has been appointed
to distribute aid to those in want of it. The Pope has
contributed 2,000 Roman crowns. At one of the late
visits of the Pope to the church of the Holy Apostles,
the students presented to his Holiness two requests—
one, to let the library remain open on Thursday, the
day on which they have most time to study ; and the
other, to create two new professorships—of political
economy and legal medicine. The Pope at once granted
the first, and promised to take the other into conside-
ration. The first number of the Contemporaneo, a
journal destined to promote ideas of progress, made its
appearance here on the 12th. It is to appear every
Saturday."

The announcement in this article, that the state of
the revenue is such as to render necessary the post
ponement of all the projected measures of financial

reform, and the admi;sion, by the Ministerial organ,
of the existence of a financial crisis, have produced
a feeling of uneasiness on the Bourse and a great fall
in the French funds.

The Presse is highly indignant with the English
in general, and with Lord PALMERSTON in particalar,
because the Count DE MONTEMOLIN has not been
treated in England after the fashion in which he was
treated in France. Surely the personal experience of
the KING of the FRENCH ought to have taught him
that, whatever may be the custom of his own country-
men, the English, at all events, show deference and
respect to the misfortunes of fallen Princes, and are
more punctilious in according to them a reception
due to their rank when they are under a cloud, than
they are when they visit the shores of England as
sovereigns de Act°.

The Courier du Havre announces that the Minister
of Finance has signed a contract with the Company
Herout and Handell (subject to the ratification of
the Chambers) for the establi,liment of a service of
correspondence between Havre and New York, by

ment.

It is said that the KING of the FRENCH has asrured
Lord NORMANDY that no allusion shall be made to
the Montpensier mavriage in the reply to the address

At Florence, on the 19th, there was a heavy fall

enabled to skate.

The Frankfort Journal contains a letter from Ber-
lin, dated the 21st, which says :
"It appears that the rumours relative to several
changes in the constitution of the kingdom, rumours
which have been repeated SO frequently, will be realised
this year to a certain extent. We learn from a good
source that the documents relating to these changes
are to be published in the beginning of the new year.
They relate principally to new enactments concerning
the concurrence of the provincial states in financial
questions and the vote on the budget, without, how-
ever, prejudice to the royal prerogative. The march
of the Central Government will be facilitated by the
concurrence of the representatives of the country. A
second document, to be also published at the beginning
of 1847, is the edict relating to religion. This docu-
ment is said to be remarkable for the spirit of tolerance
which animates our Government with respect to all
creeds, without, however, affecting or restricting the
dominant religion of the country."
The Chambers of the States of Hanover have just
addressed a petition to the KING, beseeching him to
extend the civil rights of the Jews, and parti-
cularly to abrogate the Imparial law, passed at
Augsburgh in 1571, forbidding Jews to pass to
Christians such credits as they might have on other
Christians.

AMERICAN NEWS

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
(EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.)
LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY MORNING.
The Royal Mail steamer Caledonia, Captain E. G.
Lott, with the usual mails and thirty-three passengers,
arrived in the River late last night. We have by her
New York papers to the 15th, and Boston the 16th
inst., her day of sailing.
In its summary of news for the steamer, the New
York Courier says the President's: Message will have
been read by most of your readers. In commenting
on its contents, the Courier and Inquirer ob-
serves—The cost of the war is, and is likely to be,
according to the estimates of the Message, smaller
considerably than was apprehended. The proposition
to impose duties on tea and coffee, as a war measure,
which was anticipated by our remarks by the last
steamer, will doubtless be acceded to by Congress,
and will add nearly three millions of dollars to the
revenue. In other respects the tariff will re-
main untouched. Indeed, at this session
of Congress, which terminates, by its own
limitation, on the 4th of March, there will
not be time for any other than indispensable
legislation, and the usual quantum of talking. The
deficit in the finances until the close of the financial
year in June, 1848, and supposing the war to con-
tinue until then, is estimated, over and above the
receipts from new duties and the old ones, at about
nineteen millions of dollars—which it is proposed to
borrow for a term of twenty years. This sum, it
is estimated, will allow, if the estimates from
other sources turn out accurate, a sum of four
millions of dollars to remain at all times in the
Treasury, as a security against any sudden de-
mands or -unforeseen contingencies. The ex-
penditures for the present fiscal year, ending
30th June, 1847, are estimated at fifty-five and
one half million of dollars—the receipts at fifty and one
half millions, of which ten millions from 1 ans
treasury notes. The means for the following year,
ending 30th June, 1848, are estimated at 32,000,000
dolls., of which 28,000,000 dolls. from customs. The ex-
penditures are estimated at 45,781,000 dolls. The deficit
of the two years amounts, it will be seen, to about
eighteen millions of dollars. This will be diminished by
the amount os! the new duties that shall be received from
tea and coffee; but on the other hand, as the estimated
expenditures do not include any extraordinary appro-
priations except fur the military and naval service,
whatever beyond this be appropriated, will pro tanto in-
crease the deficit.
Of the war, there are no new incidents of special in-
terest to be narrated. At the date of the 14th ultimo,
General Wool's army was quietly encamped at Mon-
elova. Saltillo has been taken possession of without
resistance by- General Worth and his brigade, and Gen.
Taylor, after leaving garrisons at Monterey and Saltillo,
was, it is said by the latest accounts, to the 19th ult.,
about to march to Tampico, leaving San Luis de Potosi
unapproach. sd. Already a military garrison, from Point
Isabel, and from New Orleans, occupied Tampico, of
which the unresisted and bloodless capture by our naval
forces, has been heretofore communicated.
Concerning General Scott. who left this city some
fortnight ago, to take the command in chief of opera-
tions in Mexic,o, there are not yet any tidings, nor is
the field of Ws future operations at all ascertained, al-
though opinion points out Vera Cruz and the Castle of
St. Juan de Ulloa as the objects he will first reduce by
land operation's.
From Santa. Fe the dates are to the 21st Oct. The
city was quiet,and American possession acquiesced in, if
not approved. A portion of the garrison was about to
march to the -Navi.jo country, lying between the head
waters of the Del Norte and those running to the Pacific,
with a view to bring the hostile natives to terms. After
that the main body, leaving a sufficient garrison at Santa
Fe, are to march on Chihuahua.
In commere:ial affairs there is considerable activity.
Cotton, since the last dates from Europe by the Cale-
donia to the 19th ult., have steadily advanced both in
prices and in demand, while for Bread Stuffs, the prices
have declined--but the demand is still great, and very
considerable !shipments have been made and are making,
to Europe ; and more will go forward during the winter
and next sparing, if prices in Europe shalt not recede
materially ([wring the interval.
Money is in demand, but not scarce. There is timi-
dity among the banks, mainly because of the operations
of the law %vhich exacts coin in payment of all dues to
the United t ;twos, and locks it up while in the Treasury.
This takes f rote the banks the command of coin, and of
course exposes them, in the event of any sudden calls,
to difficultie:;. Until the law be repealed or suspended,
there will be, distrust in our Money Market.
The modi Sections proposed to this law by the Secre-
tary of the '27re asury, of' using bills of exchange on Eng-
land, as a 1 aea ns of obtaining coin in Mexico; and of
resorting to Ira fts in remittances of money from point to
point within. our own territory, instead of displacing
specie each time, will, if sanctioned by Congress, strip it
of some of 'its irjurious tendency ; but while the clause
remains in sorer exacting specie fur all payments at the
Custom-hotwe, which specie is to be withdrawn from
circulation and locked up until needed, there will be un-
easiness among business men.
The exchralg a on England ranges from 6 to 61 ;
though then?. ):save been transactions at a. The ex-
pectation still. is, that a considerable amount in coin
must necessarily, in such a state of the exchanges, find
its way hither•irom England.

Madrid papers of the 23d have arrived. The
Gacela publishes the agreement entered into between
the Government and the Bank of San Fernando.
The substance of this agreement, which consists of
above twenty articles, is that the Bank will advance
to the Government, in the year 1847, the sums re-
quired for the public service, to the amount of those
which the approaching Cortes shall vote. The 3d
article of the convention stipulates, that in addition
to 67,000,000 reals thus to be monthly supplied, the
payment of the half-year's interest on the Three per
Cents., due in June, 1847, shall be secured by the
bank.

The differenecs in the Cabinet have been, it is said
patched up for the present.

It is rumoured in Madrid that the Carlists are
actively stirring in the north and east of Spain.
The Heraldo says that all is quiet in Navarre, in
the Basque provinces, and in Catalonia, but the Clanton
Publico states that large bands of Carlists are scouring
the vicinity of Gerona.

iVe have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Journal des Debats publishes the following,
which may be considered as the Ministerial pro-
gramme for the approaching session :
"We need not observe that the question which is
about to commence on the 11th of Janusry will excite
considerable interest. Foreign affairs will form a pro-
minent figure in it. With respect to internal matters,
we see only the question of railroads likely to command
the attention of the Chambers. We shall first say a
word on this subject. Every one now admits that we en-
deavoured to accomplish too much at a time. The ques-
tion will then be asked, whose was that fault?—a ques-
tion that appears to us to be perfectly idle. We have I
no self-love engaged in it, and we are quite ready to
incur our share of the blame, if fault there be.
We shall be_ in good and numerous company,
for who is there amongst the Opposition, as we!l
as amongst the Alinisterial members, who has not
demanded a railroai? For ten years we proceeded too
slowly, or rather we did not move. Thanks to the ma-
necuvres of political parties, ten years were lost; and
when, at last, the Opposition perceived that it was
impossible longer to refuse the country a means of
civilisation and strength, of which the least progressive
Governments began to avail themselves, a general avidity
succeeded to languor and inertness. We do not com-
plain too much of that. That avidity was perhaps
necessary in order that the work should be commenced,
and it will be at present more easy to regulate and
to moderate the movement than it was to give to it the
first impulse. Every one, or at least every sensible and
impartial man, admits, further, that if we wish to finish
what has been commenced, we must offer the com-
panies less onerous conditions and more certain advan-
tages. A year since nothing but enormous profits were
seen in conjunction with railroad speculations. These
profits assumed incalculable proportions in certain
imaginations, and hence it was sought to anticipate and
to clip the gains which the companies were to realise.
In fact, many adjudications could not take place, the
companies not having presented themselves. Each party
made its calculations, the profits vanished as if through
enchantment, and the conditions terrified the most hardy
speculator. The greater number of the railroad com-
panies are more or less in a suffering state. We do not
wish, at present, to enter further into the question ; but
it is manifest that something must be done. It may
be said, that we are dbeufetnlvdiengregtahredinntoetretshtast.of

ec capitalists adl iesftesn;
who require railroads, and railroads well constructed,
well maintained, and well served. As to the bankers and
capitalists, we never could discover what the public or
the Government could gain by rejecting or ruining them.
This is the question of internal order which demands an
urgent solution, and which will necessarily take its place
in the legislative deliberations of this ;year. We are
aware that other questions had been placed on the order
of the day during the last session—such as a postal re-
form, a reduction of the stamp duties, and the salt-tax.
We ourselves, a year since, believed that some of those
reforms wore ripe, and we trusted that the session of
1847 would not pass without an attempt being made to
realise what has been so long demanded, and which was
so successfully attempted in England—we refer to a
postal reform. A bad harvest and the deplorable inun-
dations of the autumn compel us to abandon that
expectation. Any experiment would be rash. We
cannot think of diminishing the public revenue at
a moment when the Treasury is called on to pro-
, vide for the disasters caused by the inundations and the
dearness of provisions. A financial status quo is required
by the most ordinary prudence. A crisis exists less pro-
found, we believe, and less alarming than certain persons
are pleased to represent. Still, however, we must not
incur the risk of increasing it by attempting any hazard-
ous project. The best reforms, in order to succeed, re-
quire to be opportune. Consequently no reform can be
attempted this year. The question of our foreign rela-
tions remains to be considered We have no need to
direct public opinion to their importance. All Europe is
still excited by the destruction of Cracow, and every one
is aware that the Spanish marriages have caused a dif-
ference betwcen the French and English Cabinets, which,
in fifteen days, will be publicly discussed. The almost
simultaneous meeting of the two Parliaments will be a
solemn moment. We do not dread it; we rather expect
it with impatience. There are certain persons who believe
and who hope, perhaps, that those debates will contribute,
still more to render a rupture between the two countries
inevitable, but we believe and trust the contrary. We are
co:uvinced that facts will gain by being investigated, and
that the difficulties will diminish at the tribune, and thf.t
the real interests of the two ccuutriee, the causes and the
permanent reasons which tend to bring them together,
having only to combat a pu,ing irritation and frivolous
dislike, must easily obtain the advan:age ! A ()Teat ex-
psrinient is about to be made on this occasion before 6 the
eyes of all Europe. Two Parliaments are about to find
themselves engaged. Tile fact has already been proved,
that the greatest liberty of discussion is not incom-
patible with public order. On this occasion it is be-
tween two Governments and two nations that a debate is
about to commence. Shall this discussion be compatible
with the maintenance of external peace ? Shall it serve
to embitter or to calm the passions ? Shall it demon-
strate, in favour of absolute Governments, that diplomatic
and international questions, in order to arrive at a fortu-
nate conclusion, must be treated between-one Cabinet
and another in the shape of official relitions ; or, in
favour of free nations, that the light of a public discus-
sion is the best mode of concluding the difficulties which
have become envenomed from m 3 stcry ? We repeat that
it is a solemn trial, on which, perhaps, depends the liberty
of Europe. We are firmly confident that the result of
the trial will be in favour of liberty. A great session is
preparing, the greatest, according to all appearance,

Gl'7' Y,QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cottoii market Liverpool yesterday was steady,
the sales being 4,000 to 5,000 bales, nearly all to the
trade, and chiefly American, at 51d. to 74d. per lb.—
Shares were steady.
In mercantile circles a more careful perusal of the
Me.sage of the President of the United States has con-
firmed an opinion previously entertained that the com-
mercial policy of the Government of the Republic in
la)ing on taxes upon certain articles which, however,
was not likely, in the main, to be of any considerable
injury to the British intercourse in a tradingpoint of view,
will not be detrimental to the policy of free trade, be-
cause sugar, coffee, and similar articles may very fairly
be taxed to contribute something towards the revenue.
The later intelligence from New York received to-day
furnishes us with the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and thi re is sufficient evidence therein of the
necessity of raising a new loan, and the difficulty under
the specie paying Sub-Treasury Act of being enabled to
accomplish it.
At a meeting of the Proprietors of the Canada Com-
pany, held this morning, a continuance of a dividend at
at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum was resolved upon.
It is very satisfactory to find that the upper province
is rapidly improving. The crops, except potatoes, were
excellent and full employment was given to the newly
arrived emigrants.
