MR. COBDEN. •
(From the Times.)
Mr. Cobden is constant to his theme. He lets slip no
occasion of reverting to his favourite topic of a reduc-
tion in the army and navy estimates. On Tuesday night,
in the discussion upon the Exchequer- bills, to was rid-
ing his old hobby as vieorously as ever. The only safety
for England is to denude herself of her means of de-
fence. At a time when every mail that arrives from the
continent brings with it rumours of war from north
and south, end when the presence of an unusually
large force in Ireland has been necessitated by the
disturbed condition of that country, Mr. Cobden
recommends us to reduce a military establishment con-
fessedly insufficient fur the service of the empire even in
ordinary times. We have no love of soldiering in the
abstract. We are just as unwilling as any Manchester
manufacturer call be to disburse fifteen or sixteen
millions of money annually for pontoons, sharpnels, fire-
ships, bayonets. and sabres. We should be glad to
have lived in that pleasant country between the four
rivers, where toil and anxiety were things unknown.
Taxation in any shape is a thing as odious to us as it
can possibly be to Mr. Cobden. Could we mould the
human race to our will, a military uniform or two should
remain in a tailor's museum, as a record of the past bar-
barism of mankind nothing more. So far we
thoroughly agree with the Member for the West
Riding ; it only remains to consider whether by dis-
banding our forces, or by effecting any material reduc-
tion in their number, we should adopt the moat prudent
course, and the most economical system in the end.
Now, remembering, what all the world remembers,
the opinions expressed by Mr. Cobden on foreign poli
tics, and on the internal state of the continent during
his progress in foreign parts, and before the outbreak
of February, we pronounce his views on these subjects
to be utterly erroneous and without value. In common
with others, we for a long time refrained from attacking
Mr. Cobden's , expressions of opinion after_ his return
from the continent. Unreasonable, absurd, insane
.-.nough they appeared to be; but we nourished a latent
'hope :hat the ,air of sober England would bloW these
cobwebs from his brain. He had been the foremost
man in a great and successful movement. A few months'
grace might well be conceded to the leader of the
Corn-law Repeal, ins addition to the more solid
acknowledgment of the Cobden Testimonial. We
watched his flights as he passed through Europe, and
although the handwriting was already flickering on the
wall in no pale colours, Mr. Cobden could see nothing.
In France there was the firm of Louis Philippe and
Sons, general dealers; in Spain, Christina and Co. were
ready to do a thing or two in oils; in Italy, Germany,
it was everywhere the same narrow-minded Manchester
view. Mr. Cobden was literally purblind as to what was
passing under his very nose, and returned to
England as he left it, a profound believer in. a com-
mercial millennium and the triumph of the tariff.
Has all this been justified by the event ? We ob•
served that for a short time Mr. Cobden had the
grace to be silent in the face of the astounding con•
tradictions every mail brought to the theories he had
broached with the dogmatism characteristics of his class.
But he soon recovered strength. He soon renewed his
attacks as he found events turn out in a manner that
no human foresight could have anticipated at the time.
Who that remembers the latter days of February of this
'year would have recommended, at the time, the absence

of military precaution on the part of this country ? Is
it post hoc or propter hoc that our shores have been saved
from the. profanation of an armed stranger's foot ?
Some little we remember of Polish legions, and Belgian
legions, and Italian legions, of a not very consolatory
character to the Governments who were not in a condi-
tion to resistattack. We have not yet forgotten thesalarm
felt by the inhabitants of this capital on the afternoon of
the Sunday preceding the threatened Chartist riots of
April. The arrival of the red-coats was not then dis-
'pleasing to the good citizens of London. No one then
thought the number too great. So, in Ireland, again,
at a more rccent period. True, these impending dare.
gers have blown off, but it is in consequence of the system
adopted for their repression. The plan is now, wherever
danger or disturbance appears, tocollect an overwhelming
force at that point, crush all chance of rioting or tumult.
;ind then proceed against the leading offenders by the
forms of law. Is the plan so injudicious an one, or has
it answered so badly at home? Turning to the conti-
nent, again, we find it literally in the occupation of an
armed garrison, doing their utmost to restrain the ex-
cesses or a mob who appear able to obtain arms when
they will. What sort of opinion can we entertain of a
man's diseretion who chooses the present season as an
apt one for declaiming against the policy of maintain-
ing our military and naval establishments up to par?
Mr. Cobden has already lost much of the credit he en-
joyed as leader of the Corn-law movement. lie has to
recover, what is much harder than to make, a character
for statesmanship.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, AUGUST 30.

A splendid steamer of 910 tons was launched this day
at noun from the building yard of Messrs. Thomas and
John White, for the Sicilian Government; she will be
artned with six heavy guns, und is called the Indepen=
deuce. She went off majestically amid the cheering of a
numerous assemblage of spectators. She was afterwards
placed in the adjoining dock to be freed of her cleats,
&e., and to complete lier fitment.
ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER.

—Her Mujest)'s yacht Fairy arrived at Cowes soon
after one o'clock, and her Majesty and suite landed at
the Parade under a salute from the Flirt, the Castle.
and the Royal Yacht Squadron battery. The foreign and
toglish, vessels in the roadstead were dressed out in their
gayest colours. Her Majesty was received on landing by
the Marquis of Anglesey, and proceeded in the.
Du-hess of Kent's carriage to Norfolk House and to
Adelaide Villa and Gothu Hall, the three houses taken

for her. Her Majesty, will remain in Gothu Hall to-night,
Norfolk House having only been left by the Mar-
chioness of Salitbury this morning, could not be got
reedy for the royal party till to-morrow, when they will
take up their residence there, the domestics occupying
the other houses for the autumn and perhaps the win-
ter. Her Majesty's carriages and ten horses arrived to-
day.

mental music took plaScerßocEt Monday evening, when an
admirable selection was performed by this celebrated
violinist, assisted by her talented little sisters Emma and
Victoria, Miss Bassano, Mr. Bodda, and Herr Willer,
vocalists; Mad Ile. Guenie, from the Conservatoire, Paris,
and Monsieur Lavigne, from the Royal Academy Paris,
the Grand Opera Berlin, and her Majesty's Theatre, in-
strumentalists. Miss Bassano sung Mrs. H. St.
Leger's new dramatic romance " The forsaken Mother,"
with the most refined taste, abandon, and expression;
applause the most rapturous rewarded the admirable in-
terpretation of this charming composition by the fair
cantatrice. Herr Muller sang the romance from Der
.A'achtlager with great effect. His fine baritone voice
will be a great addition to the forthcoming concerts at
Drury-lane. Miss Bassano and Mr. Bodda were en,.
thusiastically encored in John Barnett's duet, the
"Singing Lesson" which they sung with the greatest
spirit. Monsieur Lavigne's splendid performance
upon the oboe was perfection, the airs selected
by him for his beautiful fantasia were from
the ever beautiful opera of La Sonnambula.
Nldlle. Guet 6s performed twice during the evening ;
her first morceau was a fantasia upon the exquisite
melody from the Lucia, " Fra poco," which she played
with a combination of taste, expression, execution, and
genuine feeling, that entranced the audience. Her se-
cond performance consisted of two studies of her own
composition, remarkable for beauty and originality.
There is a mixture of all the attributes necessary
for a first-rate pianists in this charming ar-
tiste's performance, and without imitating any of
the grear pianistes that have preceded her she has a
specialite and school of her own. Miss Victoria Collins
was encored in Mr. H. St. Leger's popular ballad " 'Twas
then that she promised to marry,' which she sung with
the greatest spirit and naivota, and Miss Rosina was en-
cored on playing Paganint's celebrated variations upon
the "Carneval de Venise," which was most rapturously
applauded. This talented family, we understand, leave
town next week, to fulfil engagements at Hyde, Ports-
mouth, Gosport, Fareham, and Chichester. Miss Rosina
Collins is engaged by Mons. Jullien for his winter con-
certs. Mr. P. 13owen Jewson and Mr. Maurice Davis
were the 'conductors of the evening. We were particu-
larly struck with the beautiful tone of the piano-forte,
which, we understand, was made by Erard.

BIRMINGHAM, 'WOLVERHAMPTON AND
'DUDLEY.
WEDNESDAY.—The half-yearly meet-
ing of the shareholders of this company was held at
Dee's Hotel, in this town, to-day. Mr. W. Mathews oc-
cupied the chair. The attendance was very thin.
The CRAIRMAN said he should not have occasion to
occupy their attention for more than a few moments.
Tney had hitherto pursued a tranquil course, undis-
turbed by the liCgittion of other railway companies.
They bad always sailed under a lee--bore. and, AM.-ugh,
in consequence of their elder brother, the Birmingham
and Oxford Junction, having been brought into collkion
with a powerful party, they did at one time anticipate
some trouble, they hal been exempt from similar diffi-
culties. The disagreements to which he alluded were
now happily settled. Parliament had sanctioned the
adoption oc both gauges tram Fenny Compton to Bir•
tningham, and from Birmingham to Priesttield, at Wol-
verhampton; The arrangements entered int-i between
the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley and, the
Great Western Company, had never been interfered
with, and he (the chairman) did hope that when other
lines in connexion with it were opened, it would prove
beneficial, not only to the Great Western,Company, but
also to the public, for whose'convenience and accommo-
dation it had been constructed:
The statement of accounts showed that there had been
received from culls, interest, and rent. 42,9681. 19s. 6d.,
and that there was a balance of 4,0841. ss. 10d. in hand.
The report was received and adopted. •
A vote of thanks was then passed to the directors, duly
acknowledged by Mr. I,I4THEWS, and the meeting
broke up. ,

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.
BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAI .—Theordiniry half-yearly
meeting of the proprietors of this company was held 'it
Dee'd Royal Hotel, to-day. mr.z,-jj. Mints was in
the chair, and amongst other, g_entionern resent, inter•
ested in its affairs, were Lord Hatherton, Mr. Mathews,
Mr. Colmore. Mr. Turner, &c.

The CHAIRMAN commenced by observing that, after
considerable delay, terms had been agreed upon between
the dissentient shareholders and the Great Western
Railway Company: They were now embodied in a Bill
which had 'passed both Houses of Parliament, and
awaited, for a commission, the Royal Assent. He'con-
gratulated the shareholders upon this amicable arrange-
ment; and he also congratulated the Great Western
Company upon the honourable manner in which they
had, in times far different to those in which the original
agreement was made, fulfilled their engagement. He
hoped that the sale of the line to that company would
prove beneficial to all parties. He begged leave to move
the reception and adoption of the following report :
" The directors have much satisfaction in reporting
that the disputes of the shareholders are finally settled,
and that the agreement for the sale of the line to the
Great Western Railway Company will be carried out it,
its full integrity, under the authority of an Act which
has passed both Houses of Parliament and only await,
the Royal Assent. The Act contains definite powers for
the future management of the company ; for the laying
down the broad gauge, in addition to the narrow gauge ;
and also for the issue of the coup Ons to the shareholders
which will be attended to as soon as practicable after th,
passing of the Act. The Great Western Railway Com-
pany have also obtained an Act to make the deviation
line of railway in the town of Leamington."
It appeared from the statement of accounts that
301,570/. 12s. 2d. had been received, and that there was a
' balance in hand amounting to 110,527/. 3s. 2d.
' The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question from Mr.
Hadley, admitted that no report of their engineer was
forthcoming. He had been written to upon the subject,
but there had not been time for a reply. He might,
however, be allowed to say that the line was now, de
facto, the property of the Great Western Company, and
that it was not likely that they would' pay to the present
shareholders 50,0001. per annum, without doing all in
their power to see it completed as soon as possible.
The report was adopted, and the proceedings soon
after terminated.

works, but had reluctanfly also to proPlisepostponem.,nt
of payment of interest on shares that will become due
in Octobi!r, with the assurance that.this postponement
should be of a duration as short as possible. The bs-
Lowe-sheet,- as per capital account, exhibited an expen-
ditere of 1,820.:77/., and a balance in the hands of .the
hankt,rs of 31,2271. The revenue account for the •half-
y. ar showed a receipt of 29,269/., and a balance carried
to profit sod leas of 2,4871."

report, a warm and protracted discussion-eniued ; find
the motion having been filially carried, the proceedings
terminated.

CITY, QUAV ER TO THRKE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
moderately animated, but closed firmly. American sorts
at 3fd. to 3id. per lb., being rather higher. American,
5,000 bales, ranged from 3fd. to 51d. per lb. In Rail-
way shareS there was a considerable improvement, and a
good business done at advanced prices. The market was
very firm, and had a rising tendency.
The Continental advises to hand this morning offer
very little of interest. From the reports of the various
markets, it would appear that there is a little improve-
went in business, and that the stocks of many articles
are getting low. Nevertheless, until the affairs of Italy
and Denmark are settled, a decided or continuous
atvr-
liontioii is not to be looked for.

- The rates of exchaego at New York, on the
15th • instant, were lower us regards England
and some other places, the supply of bills being
larger, but France was an exception owing
to the prostration of credit occasioned by the revolution,
and vecie continued to be remitted. The Americans
seem': inclined to keep back supplies of grain ou the
presumption that prices may rise here, and that the
duty being off next year will be a compensation even
should no 'advance occar. The policy may be suc-
cessful, but when large supplies come in
simultaneously, perhaps, the advantage referred to
will be wholly lost ; a party writing • at New
York remarks that as the season advances, the weekly
decrease in the receipts of produce becomes greater, '
giving evidence that the aggregate receipts, at the close
of navigation, will be much smaller than was antici-
pated a month or six weeks since. With the immense
quantity of produce, particularly breadstufls, in this
country, and the remunerating prices ruling in all the
seaport markets, it is a very extraordinary circumstance
that the leading articles do not come forward more ra-
pidly; thatthere is such an immense falling off, com-
pared with last season. We have no doubt that producers,
in all parts of the country are labouring under wrong
impressions relative to Vie future prices and future
demand. Hopes are entertained that the harvests of
Europe will prove deficient, - and that an extensive de-
mand will arise for our agricultural products ; and it is
this belief that induces the farmer to hold on to his
grain, and is the prime cause of the reduced receipts.
In the. event of a rise in prices, we should soon see such
an increase in receipts, at tide water, as would destroy
at once the existing idea relative to supplies in first
hands ; we should soon see that the country was full of
breadstuffs— that our stocks are by no means exhausted
by the enormous shipments of last year. It is by no
means certain yet that the harvests of Europe, particu-
larly those of Great Britain, will be even a fair average;
but it is hardly probable that the deficiency will be large
enough to create much of a demand for our bread-
stuffs."

This appears to us to be the common sense view of
the matter, mid as such it may yet be acted upon.
The following is from British North America:—" In

would go far to improve the circumstances of the coun-
try, and we rejoice to say that, from present appearances,
there is every reasonable hope that we shall realise an
ample crop, with the blessing of favourable harvest wea-
ther to save and secure it."

The announcement last night in Parliament by the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, that it is his intention to
sell Stock as opportunity otters, sets further doubt at
'rest. and as it is not so likely to have a direct influence
upon the market as an open loan, the Funds have im-
proved upon it. At the same time, the knowledge that
a certain amount of Stock is to be thrown upon
the market will serve the Bears, who know well
how to profit by such opportunities. The price of Con-
sols has been up to 864 f, but the accounts from Paris
respecting Austria being unfavourable, there is a re-
action since to 86* j for Transfer, and 864 for Account.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent►. have been 87

Railway Shares have been rather dull again, but
Midland, Eastern Counties, South-Eastern, and other
