the subject, his opinion as to the offensive character
of the Bills remained unchanged. These are only a
few specimens of the various schemes now popular
in America for annoying Great Britain. Flo-
rida, as we stated yesterday, would, by and by,
claim Cuba, as more properly belonging to
that state than to Spain, and accordingly a member
of the Senate, representing Florida, proposed a re-
solution for purchasing that island from Spain. Why
did he not use the more appropriate and popular
phrase "annexing " it to Florida, as Texas has been
joined to the Union ? " This proposal (says the New
York Courier) for the writer seems anxious to screen his
countrymen, was, indeed, received with silent derision,
but, taken in connexion with other things, does it
any the less indicate that a spirit is at work which
aims at almost unlimited territorial aggrandisement?
This blurting out of every crude suggestion used to
be confined to the House of Representatives. The
Senate heretofore has been, measurably at least,
exempt from such puerilities, but the spirit of pro-
gressive democracy,' in levelling down, is as fatal to
senatorial dignity as to senatorial qualifications and
training." But the tide is all against the moderate men.
Peace is not in fashion either at Washington or in the
" far west," and whatever the friends of order, and
good faith, and peace may say and hope respecting the
aspect of affairs in America, we are compelled to con-
fess that war is all but inevitable, and to call upon the
British Government to be prepared for the worst.
Canada must be strengthened. A new Governor-
General has just been appointed, and a military
Governor very properly has been selected. England
desires peace, but only on honourable terms, because
no other peace could be lasting, and the best way to
maintain peace with such men as POLE and CASS is to
be fully prepared for war.

To any exaggeration of facts, with the intention of
hacking up a favourite argument, we are always most
scrupulously averse; nor have we any particular
affection for those mawkish and romantic senti-
mentalisms with which the advocates of a principle
occasionally attempt to enforce its truth. Neverthe-
less, circumstances will now and then arise which
savour considerably of fiction, and an especial allusion
to which might, to the superficial, subject us to the
accusation of a morbid partiality for some old wife's
story ; although an adherence to feelings of humanity
and a sense of common justice render such allusions
absolutely incumbent upon us. One of these sin-
gular occurrences—showing for the nine hundred and
ninety-ninth time the inherent rottenness and cruelty
of the existing poor-laws—took place on Sunday last,
at the union workhouse, in Norwich. It will amply
correspond with our intention to glance hurriedly
over the particulars of the case, such as they were
yesterday described to be before the bench of local
mlgistrates. In the abstract the tale is an old one,
but there are mixed up with it several incidental facts
that clothe it with a new interest. An old soldier, a
pauper in the poor-house, obtains permission from the
authorities to visit his wife and child, who are con-
fined in another ward : after, however, the half-hour
allotted for this interview has expired, he is possessed
with a sudden feeling of rebellion against the matron,
and a wild resolution that he will be separated no
longer from the former partner of his house, his
hearth, and his bed. Upon this a policeman is called
in to remove the insubordinate veteran against his
inclination. The old soldier clings to his wife, offers
no other resistance whatever, uses no language of
abuse or passion—and what does the constable do in
return ? Beats the old soldier on " the elbow" with
his baton, then upon " the bone of his leg," and
finally drags them—man, wife, and child—" all three
hanging together, to a dungeon, where they are locked
up for three hours." Another unfortunate inmate of
the establishment is seized with the contagion ; he
resolves to be no longer parted from his wife, who is
in her last month with child ; and seeing them both
" clinging together," the same policeman (having now
settled the other couple) beats them violently with
his staff. Surely these simple facts afford ample op-
portunity for the eloquent remonstrances of a phi-
lanthropist. In the hands of a skilful romancist,
much that is pathetic and much that is horrible might
he conjured out of the details: the old campaigner,
fired with an abrupt and almost child-like recurrence
to the affection of many years, the woman within a
few weeks of her confinement, the storm of weepings
and the bludgeon of the law. Out of these materials
a harrowing and startling picture might be produced.
In speaking as we have done we are far from wishing
to countenance disobedience to legal regulations, how-
ever harsh or stringent they may appear quite the
contrary. Nor do we purpose uttering any diatribe
against Mr. STACY, because he merely "gently re-
proved the officers for their improper use of their
slaves;" though whether such leniency be advisable is
a matter for question. We are only actuated by a
desire to direct particular attention to this recent
proof of the over-rigour generally displayed towards
paupers by the subordinate officials throughout the
country. There is a blight elsewhere than among the
potatoes—and a blight still more worthy of analysis
and eradication.

It would be a very great mistake to suppose that
all or nearly all of the 879 railway schemes which
have been published as " defunct " have failed to
comply with the requirements of standing orders,
after having raised money. We venture to state that
considerably more than half of the names in that
list have never been more than names. The five-
pound note, which is all that is required for provi-
sional registration, was always ready, while the
railway mania was raging, as soon as the want of
railway communication, or of shorter railway com-
munication between any two places on the map
flashed upon the creative brain of a railway projector.
To " register provisionally " was the first thing, and
very often, indeed, the only thing done. To have
" registered provisionally " gave, or was imagined to
give, the projector a right over the country. Not a
moment, then, was to be lost about "provisional re-
gistration ;" secure the country, and then consider
the merits of the scheme, or rather (for the considera-
tion of the merits ; was often longer postponed)
consider the chances of beating-up a provisional
committee, and getting an allotment paid upon. Then
perhaps, after a scheme had been registered, some mo-
dification of it occurred to the projector as desirable ;
it might be advantageously cut short or extended ;
it might go round to take in some other town, or
there might be a branch. Immediately there would
be a new " provisional registration." Another five-
pound note and another would fly to the registrar,
winged with hopes of boundless premiums on shares
yet untreated, and a price untold for the project.
Then, perhaps, all came to nothing. The projector
would perhaps go off to some other totally different
scheme, and compound for the sinking of the five-
pound notes which had gone by expectation of greater
gains elsewhere. This is no imaginary tale ; and in
this way it may easily be conceived that the regis-
trar's list will be swelled with a large number of
names which never got beyond the peculiar process of
christening, now known as " provisional registration."
If any one looks through the list which appeared in
The Sun of the 14th, he will see a number of mere
varieties of names, clearly indicating a series of mo-
difications of places ; and if he compares that list
with the list of schemes for which plans have been
duly deposited in the Parliament-office (in The Sun
of the 7th), he will find still more signs of successive
modifications. Then, again, many schemes have
merged in others by amalgamation, and the money
raised is still to be applied to the object for which it
was raised, but under another name, and, it is to be
presumed, with brighter prospects.
We should indeed tremble for the consequences,
in pecuniary loss to individuals, in litigation, in
wreck of character, in injury to credit, were we
not able to offer the above explanation of a list of
879 " defunct schemes." As it is, we have good
reason to believe that the number of cases in which,
after money has been received by provisional com-
mittees, the plans, &c., have not been deposited, will
not be much more than may fairly be accounted for
without want of due care and diligence, and greatly
less than, taking all the circumstances of the late
railway mania into consideration, might have been
expected.

It appears by the list published in The Sun of the
7th of January, that 721 railway companies hare
duly deposited the required documents in the Parlia-
ment-office. But it is yet to be seen in how many
of these 721 cases the plans will bear the scrutiny
of the Standing Orders' Committee, and in how
many the necessary funds are in hand for deposit.

The latter point will soon be known. We have
always thought that there has been in many
cases a disposition to bear- too hard on provisional
directors—that some peculiarities of their position
had not been sufficiently estimated—that all their pro-
ceedings were preparatory to the meeting of Parlia-
ment—that till then they should be allowed the benefit
of every possible presumption in their favour, and
every aid which could be fairly given as against
shareholders who might be unreasonably impatient
and unjust under the influence of disappointment. But
the day of reckoning is at hand ; and in all cases in
which it shall be established that expenses have been
incurred in order to keep up a delusive appearance,
after ascertaining that the plans could not possibly
pass muster, or after a failure on an allotment which
left no hope of raising the required capital, we shall
be the first to say that the provisional directors de-
serve no mercy. And it will be no excuse that they
have been controlled by solicitors. We can easily
conceive, and we have heard of cases in which soli-
citors, having been allowed their own way, have gone
on after only a few hundred pounds had come in on
an allotment, and success was hopeless, depositing
plans, serving notices, Sm. These solicitors will be
sufficiently punished by non-payment of the long
bills which they have been running up, and for the
sake of which only, of course, they have been going
on. But provisional directors, who have committed
their names and characters to the public for the proper
management of heavy undertakings, and have allowed
their functions to be usurped by their own servants—
and these servants having a direct pecuniary interest
in mismanagement—cannot expect to escape uncen-
sured by their shareholders, or at the bar of public
opinion.

We have received Madrid journals of the Bth, with
the continuation of the debate in the Chamber of
Deputies on the Address. It possessed rather more
interest than has been displayed in the Cortes for
some time. Senor LLOaENTE, Member for Cadiz,
made a vigorous and eloquent speech against the
policy pursued by the NARVAEZ Government. He
denounced the dictatorship which had been established,
and condemned altogether their foreign policy, espe-
cially that with the Court of Rome. Senor MoN,
the Minister of Finance, replied, and in a good speech
answered the arguments of his opponents. In speak-
ing of the Opposition, he said it was not so mild and
prudent as was pretended, of which the vehement
language of Senor LLORENTE was sufficient proof,
and he let fall the words, " a conspiracy of 30 Depu-
ties to upset the Ministry." This expression produced
bursts of indignation from the left benches, and
the President was frequently obliged to call to order.

BRAVO MoluLLo followed and defended the Go-
vernment, which, he said, was sincerely anxious to
introduce reform into all the branches of the public
Administration, but that it had considerable difficul-
ties to overcome. The debate was adjourned. Don
HENRIQUE was to leave Madrid on the evening of
the Bth, for Ferrol, and his brother, two days after-
wards, to join his regiment at Pampeluna. The fall
of one per cent. in the funds, is attributed to this
paltry affair, but there must be some other reason,
though not assigned,

On the Bth the Three per Cents. dosed at 34 at
60 days ; the Five per Cents., at 23! at 60 days.

In the French Chamber of Peers that endless ques-
tion, the right of search, has again been revived. In
the debate on the Address, Count MATHIEU DE LA
REDOUTE objected to the paragraph, which asserted
that by the new treaty the commerce of France had
been placed under the surveillance of their own flag.
He considered, on the contrary, that their commerce,
instead of being placed by the new convention under
the surveillance of its own flag, had been deprived of
its national rights. This charge, though very ab-
surd, called up the Duke DE BROGLIE, who
gave a succinct account of the construction of
the treaty, and proved that the charge was
utterly unfounded. The example of America
had constantly been held up for imitation,
but there was no difference in the instructions given
by that Government to their cruizers from those
given to the French and English vessels. " The
principle of responsibility was there plainly laid down
in the sense adopted by the other powers." He then
read the instructions issued by the American Govern-
ment in 1843, and expressed his surprise that the
Noble Peer could have fallen into such an error,
which he could only have done by seeking informa.
tion amongst the objections started by the Americans
before the convention of 1842 was signed. He had
contrived to fill his head with polemics instead of
with definitive treaties. The Noble Peer then, touch-
ing on the conventions relative to piracy, main-
tained, in the first place, that the slave trade
was almost always connected with that offence ;
and, next, defended the instructions given on that
head by the Minister of Marine in 1845 to the
French cruizers. They were, he declared, pefectly
in conformity with the laws of the kingdom.
He had taken part in drawing up these instructions,
and he could aver that every imaginable precaution
had been taken to have them perfectly regular and
legal. On that occasion he had consulted naval
officers of great experience, who had cruised on the
coasts of Africa. It was according to their sugges-
tions that the details of the instructions relating to
merchant vessels had been determined on. But that
was not all ; he had carefully examined all the judg-
ments of the tribunals on the matter in question,
which were deposited in the department of the
Marine ; he had also had search made in the archives
of the council of State, sitting as a council of vessels
taken, and had consulted all these documents. The
instructions had afterwards been examined in the
offices of the Marine, so that he had every reason to
believe that they were regular and exact. He was
neither a jurisconsult nor a naval man, but he had
called to his aid all the authorities he could find, and
believed that he bad conscientiously performed the
duty imposed on him. On this subject the Journal
des Dehats makes the se remarks:—

We supposed that %re had done with the question of the
right of search, but we find that we were mistaken.
Count Mathieu de la Rs dorte who, lately publi,hed a work,
the end of which was to prove that, notwithstanding the
solemn declaration inserted in the discourse from the
Throne, French cot amerce was not replaced under the
exclusive protection o:f her flag, in his discourse yester-
day attempted to prove the convention of the 29th of
May last, which abrograted the treaties of 1831 and
1833, and the reciprocal right of search to be an
unworthy deceptions, and having for effect to
substitnte in place of the right of search a regime
yet more oppressive. He tried, moreover, to prove,
that the convention signed with England, and Lb.
instructions destined to regulate the execution of
it, have tended to, violate all national as well as
maritime rights, Het Sven only knows upon what grouds
he founded his thesis. The duty of replying to this dis •
course naturally dev °lived upon the statesman who had
the honour to attach his name to the convention of the
29th of May, 1845. .All the scaffolding of the subtle-
ties which the orator had so laboriously erected, im-
mediately gave wia.y before the arguments, simple,
though teeming with reason and sound sense, used by
the Duke de Bro glie. The convention never had
violated the principles of the rights of men and the sacred
rules in French leg islation. The illustrious orator
clearly justified the co nvention of the 29th of May. It
is in conformity with all laws, and all received tra-
ditions in practice amt mg civilised nations. None of the
Opposition attempted to reply to the lucid and sound
arguments made use, .of by the Duke de Broglie, and
which produced as very lively impression on the
Chamber.

The Illoniteur contains official dispatches from
Marshal BUGEAUTh respecting the late affair with
Ann-EL-KADER, but they add not one word even to
the brief telegraphic dispatch. BuGEAuD is sadly
puzzled what to do. with his restless and skilful an-
tagonist. In spea'ti.ing of this contemptible affair, the
Courrier Francais.e says:—" Our soldiers performed
prodigies of valour., but our horses were knocked up
with fatigue, after a forced march at night, and the
men fought as one to two without having had either
rest or food. Thu s, whatever the Marshal may say,
if the physical advraltage has been on our side, it maybe
affirmed that this is, not the case as regards the moral
results. And shal7l we give a proof of the truth of
this affirmation ? .AI3D-EL-KADER, instead of pro-
ceeding towards ithe south-west—instead of effect-
ing a retreat—Al 3D-EL-KADER, who is represented
by Marshal BuGEA.-17D as dispirited and discouraged,
has, on the contrary, advanced into the very heart of
the province of Algiers, even to Milianah. This, at
least, is what we are told by an Algiers journal.
Thus, between the 24th and the 30th, whilst M.
BUGEAUD could only reach Orleansville, from which
place he d.ite: ,!.*.art, the vanquished and hunted
Ann-EL-KADER had got before him towards the
north-east, and the intelligent Governor-General was
