ITOCHELAGA ; OR, ENGLAND IN THE NEW WORLD.
EDITED BY ELIOT WARBURTON, ESQ.—A second edi•
Lion of this attractive book has already been called for
by the public. The Examiner justly observes, " This is
not the work of a common writer. The author has a
vein of deep thought, as well as a quink susceptibility to
external characteristic forms. His book is full of plea-
sant reading, and suggestive, at the same time, of im-
ortant practical reflections. His objectis to convey to
English readers more correct notions and a more ade-
quate estimate, than have hitherto prevailed, of the im-
portance of Canada to England as an integral part of the
empire. But, in truth, the most striking parts of the
work—those which arrest the attention most, and cling
longest to the memory—relate to the United States.
What he has attempted to do is a bold and useful un-
dertaking ; to contrast the social condition that may
be attained under the modified and mixed constitutions
of England with that which can be obtained under the
dernocratical institutions of the United States. The mere
conception of such a work indicates power and origi-
nality, and what has been produced is full of valuable
matter."

We have to announce the serious indisposition of
the Earl of Portsmouth. His recovery is exceedingly
doubtful. The Noble Earl, it is well known, has long
been subject to aberration of mind, His Lordship is at
present at his country residence, Hnrstbourne Priory,

are bowing with submission to the majesty of Uni-
versal Truth.

During the festivities appertaining to the rent-day
at Wynyard Park on Friday, the 6th instant, a re-
markable oration was delivered to his tenantry by
the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. There were
no evidences of legislative sagacity in this
oration ; its induction was not astonishing
for any display of profundity in the know-
ledge and application of political economy; nor,
indeed, was there any approach to oratorical excel-
lence even in its peroration. Nevertheless, we dis-
tinctly maintain that the speech delivered on this
occasion by Lord LONDONDERRY, meagre in illustra-
tion, and inartistic in arrangement as it undoubtedly
was, carried with it, on the whole, a marked and
significantimportance. TheNobleMarquis,cheered by
the flourishing condition of his rent- roll, and exulting in
the accurate balance of the accounts between himself
and his numerous tenantry, takes a retrospective re-
view of the consequences of the policy sanctioned by
the Legislature during the last session of the Imperial
Parliament. And what, in brief, may be asked, were
the reflections excited by the retrospection of one so
deeply and personally interested in the prosperity of
the agriculture of Great Britain ? Briefly, they were
these. Lord LONDONDERRY could not help acknow-
ledging that prices have continued rising steadily
up to the last market-day ! that farmers in the ag-
gregate were never in a more prosperous condition !
that he himself had a convincing testimony that
this prosperity was not superficial, seeing that two
only out of his whole body of tenantry were in arrears!
Beyond this, he felt peculiar satisfaction in declaring
that resits were in no instance diminishing! and that, on
the contrary, there was no prospect whatever of their
being lowered ! Yet the talisman of agriculture had
been broken long since ; the palladium of British
corn-growers had been destroyed; the omnipotent
corn-laws had been repealed ! Arguments are all
is a capital affair in its way ;
uallity of payment in a tenant,
butvery t
b well p; u logicet
the melodious ringing of gold coin and the crumpling
of bank-notes in the fingers of a steward, are more
convincing than the masterpiece of the most con-
summate logician. Lord LONDONDERRY recognises
the foolishness of the mournful anticipations indulged
in by the protectionists ; he recognises their foolish-
ness in the happiness of his tenantry, and in the
replenishment of his coffers. Beholding the pros-
perity that has, in his experience, resulted from the
recent Parliamentary changes, the Noble Marquis
reprobates the asperities of language and occasicnally
the miserable personalities by which those changes
were accompanied ; he avouches that much exaggera-
tion was visible in the picture variously but darkly
painted by the imaginations of the most eminent up-
holders cf protection. In the conduct of the late
Prime Minister he does not perceive anything re-
quiring apology. " Sir RODENT PEEL," says he,
" was the Minister of the country, not of a party."
According to the aspersers of that Right Honour-
able Baronet, the nation was to be involved in
difficulties immediately upon the acceptation of his
measures of mercantile reform—according to the
admiring and grateful contemporaries of that great
statesman, general advantages would, on the contrary,
result therefrom. The former assertion has been
laughed to scorn by the verification of the latter.
Simple and unassuming as was the oration of the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it is likely to prove one
of eminent utility. It is the approval wrung from a
landowner by the realisation of some amongst the fair-
est dreams of the free-traders—those dreams which
were once regarded as the visions of Utopia.

The admirable letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the
Duke of LEINSTER, to which we have already
directed the public attention, has roused the ire of
the Earl of DESART, who has published what he calls
a vindication of himself and his brother landlords
from the charges supposed to be contained therein. It

is said that the Noble Earl is a candidate for the vacan

representative peerage occasioned by the death of the
late Marquis of THosIoND, hence his readiness to
rush into print to attack the sagacious statesman at
the head of the Ministry, in order that the noble
electors may have an opportunity for judging of his
qualifications, and seeing on what slender grounds he
can carp at the Government and pour forth his spleen
against the Executive.
Lord Joux—in stating the course pursued by the
Administration in authorising the Lord-Lieutenant
to deviate from the letter of the law, and
to give his sanction to advances being made for
useful and profitable works, although of a private
nature, thus taking upon themselves a great and. se-
rious responsibility, for which a Parliamentary in•
demnity will be required—stated the views which the
Cabinet had formed as to the practical working of
the Labour-rate Act. He said, "It had been our
hope and expectation that landed proprietors would
have commenced works of drainage and other im-
provements on their own account, thus employing the
people on their own estates, and rendering the land
more productive for the future. In that case it would
have been only the surplus labour which would have
been employed on roads and other works not imme-
diately profitable." Lord DESART immediately be-
comes indignant at what, we must confess, appears
to us a rather natural expectation. It is reason-
able to hope that every subject will discharge
the duties incidental to his position. It is especially
the duty of every landowner to provide adequate em-
ployment for the labouring poor belonging to his es-
tate ; he should either provide them with useful occu-
pation likely to afford a fair return for the amount
expended, or he should make up his mind to support
them in idleness, and not to cast upon others the
burden which in justice and equity should fall upon
himself. And it might fairly be calculated, that in
the pressing difficulties in which the country has
been placed, some, at least, of the body would strive
efficiently to perform their part, and to employ the
people on their own estates. This, however, appears
a monstrous supposition to Lord DESART. He cannot
hear it " without entering his protest against the im-
plication of neglect of duty on the part of the Irish
landlords." The manner in which his Lordship proceeds
to prove that they have fulfilled their duties, and
that an unjust and unfounded aspersion has been cast
upon them by the implication of neglect, is essentially
Irish ; he divides them into two classes, those who
have hitherto neglected and those who have performed
their duties, and he attempts to show that from
neither of these can anything be expected at the pre
sent time. He asks—

" Does Lord John Russell here allude to those who
have hitherto neglected their estates ? If so, surely his
knowledge of human nature must have been sufficient to
tell him that those whom neither a sense of interest nor
mutual obligation had hitherto been able to incite to a
performance of their duties would not be likely to come
forward at this crisis. But if he alludes to the resident
and improving proprietors, how does he expect them,
with a diminished rental and increased burdens, to create
a new fund to meet the present emergency ? If they
havo hitherto done their duty, they have employed their
available income in carrying out improvements on their
properties ; and, in the present times, it will require the
utmost economy on their parts to continue (not to in-
crease) the number of their labourers.

This is, indeed, rather a curious vindication of the
Irish landlords. One section have always neglected
their estates. It is, therefore, absurd to suppose that
they will be stimulated even by the present emer-
gency, and all that will be in the power of the other
is to continue the former quantity of labour. Lord
DEURT should know that if the landlord of the latter
class had fully performed his duty there would be no
pressure or necessity in his immediate neighbour-
hood,----every man belonging to his lands would be
provided with sufficient work thereon, without being
compelled to seek it from other sources; but he seems
to think that the landlords are to do nothing them-
selves, but that everything is to be pro-
vided for them by the State. The English land-
lords obtain no Government assistance, and yet
the poor are taken care of and provided
for, but in Ireland everything must be done by the
Government, and it is unreasonable to hope for any-
thing from unaided exertion. His Lordship com-
plains that the proprietors of entailed estates cannot
obtain a participation of the benefits offered by the
Drainage Act. This, we think, should be amended,
as we agree with his Lordship that it is the tenant
for life, who cannot charge the inheritance of the
lands with any portion of the amount expended
thereon in permanent and valuable improvements,
that more urgently requires the assistance that would
be thereby afforded; but it should be borne in mind
that the present Government are not responsible for
that Act, nor was it intended as the means by which

the exigencies of the country were to be provided for.
The landlord who cannot come within its provi-
sions may receive assistance, and have his lands
drained under the provisions of the Labour•rate
Act in its modified form ; he may, by giving the re-
quired '•undertaking, obtain a presentment at the
Extraordinary Baronial Sessions, and thus, pro tanto,
remove the burden that would be occasioned by works
of an unprofitable nature from the electoral division
in which his property is situated. Lord DESART
should showthat he himself, and those as whose advocate
he appears, have also failed in the attempt to make
these latter provisions available. We can feel for the
difficulties to be encountered by Irish landlords ; but
before they look for the public sympathy they should
strive with activity and zeal to overcome them by the
means within their power, and, above all, they should
refrain from vilifying and reproaching the wise and
sagacious Ministers that have already done so much
on their behalf because they do not work impossibili-
ties, and should be thankful for the assistance that has
been afforded to them.

Madrid papers of the 3d instant have arrived.

It was believed in Madrid that one of the first pro-
jects of law which would be presented to the new
Cortes by the Ministers, would be a measure fur the
nform of the commercial tariff. Queen CHRISTINA,
it is said, will leave Madrid for Paris at the close of
the present year. Don ENRIQUE is expected shortly
to return to Madrid.

These papers contain news from Lisbon of the 29th,
Santarem was at that time in possession of the insur-
gents, having been evacuated by the QUEEN'S troops,
who,had arrived in Lisbon. The QUEEN had issued a de-
cree, directing that if the Count DE TITOMAR (CABRAL)
should set foot in Portugal he should he immediately
arrested and confined in a fortress. A royal order
has been communicated to the commander of the
frigate Dulineza de Braganza, the guardship of the
port of Lisbon, to seize the person of the Count DE
THOMAR, if he should arrive by sea. Lisbon was
completely surrounded by guerillas, so that it was
dangerous for any of the garrison to leave the
city. These guerillas loudly demanded the

abdication of the QUEEN, and the withdrawal of
King FERDINAND and his favourite German, DIETZ,
the Afrance.sado,from the country. A narticle entitled
" The State of the Question," which has been clan-
destinely published by the Democratic party, contains
the following passage :

" Either the revolution must fail, and a new 6th of
October take place, the representative Government being
replaced by a personal Government, or the Queen must
abdicate and withdraw altogether from public affairs
with her husband and 'maitre Dictz,'to whom the country
is already indebted for some revolutions and for the state
of anarchy in which it is at present placed. This spon-
taneous ablieation would be the only natural act of the
reign of Donna Maria."

The Count DAs AI TAS was rapidly advancing on
Lisbon, and according to the Cacliz National, King
FERDINAND seemed rather inclined to treat with him
than to fight him, and had even asked the com-
mander of the English fleet to act as a mediator be-
tween himself and his subjects.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
5,000 bales. The market was firm. Sales all to the
trade. American at sd. to 6d4d, Egyptian at 7d. to
10d., and Surat at 3id. to 4d. per lb. Shares were at
full prices again.
Among the productive sources of revenue, the article
of hops certainly stands in the foremost rank this year,
and it is curious to note how greatly the national in-
come, from this source, will exceed the amount antici-
pated early in the year, being now officially declared at
242,9291.

The mercantile community have long felt that steam
navigation must change, to an important extent, the
system of modern warfare, and that the defences on
our coast, to which more attention is recently being
paid, should be accompanied by efficient measures, for
some slight training of the inhabitants, unused as the
majority now are to even the handling of a gun. A
retired officer, in some " Remarks on our Means of
Defence against an Invasion," justly writes, that " the
unprotected state of the country- has, no doubt, obtruded
itself upon the notice of the r. fleeting part of the in-
habitants ; but as many do not take the trouble to re-
flect, and as the thinking faculties of a considerable
number are devoted almost exclusively to commerce
and manufactures, he cannot be deemed an alarmist
who calls the attention of the public to a subject of more
importance than any that has in latter days engrossed
its meditative powers. It is, in the first place, neces-
sary to inform the unthinking, that the popular phrase,
" the wooden walls of England," is now become obso-
lete ; however just and expressive it may have been in
former days, when the winds and tides, combined with
the superior seamanship of our mariners, kept us
in a state of security. Now that the passage
from shore to shore is an affair of a few
hours—that steamers can lie off any part of our coast
by the furce of their engines, and troops can be landed
from them wherever the enemy may think advisable—
the expression has no meaning. Our sailors will in
future have to gather their laurels in more distant climes,
where the passage of a sea or ocean will give the chance
of a rencontre between hostile fleets.

" It should also be forcibly impressed on our minds,
that the facility with which troops can be carried to the
point of embarkation, and the various munitions of war
collected together; lay us infinitely more open to an in-
vasion than we were only a few years ago. The com-
bined efforts of a people, where the various classes are
mostly independent, from possessing, nearly all, personal
or landed property, however small, must be infinitely
greater, in case of any Rational movement, than
those of a country where the classes are more
dependent on each other for their daily subsistence.
The bulk of the people, in the former case, is more iden-
tified with the national glory and interest than in the
latter. It behoves us, therefore, the more to prepare all
the means in our power for resistance. The principal
object of these remarks is to urge the employment of the
militia as a nursery for the line, and the necessity of
arming and training the people ; or if the latter
should be considered inexpedient, as a general measure,
to give at least greater facilities to the formation, both in
town and country, of corps of yeomanry and volunteer
cavalry, to be trained so as to act, when dismounted, as
skirmishers. So long as our army is, numerically speak-
ing, wholly inadequate to meet such an emergency as I
have contemplated, some of the measures I have sug-
gested are urgently and immediately necessary to the
safety of the country."
The Spanish Bondholders Committee, represented at
Paris by the deputation which co-operates with the
continental creditors, does not appear to let
the grass grow under its feet, for an energetic
statement has been made public, which, while
it sets forth in plain terms the increased ability of Spain
to do justice to those who assisted her in time of need,
also plainly intimates that every effort will be used to
press the matter officially upon the attention of the Go-
vernment of Madrid, should quiet representation fail of
the effect intended.

The Public Securities, upon this, the first transfer day

and there is the same apparent disposition on the part

speculators feel inclined to do. Consols have been

Business in the Foreign Market has been as limited
