hardly sec displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half or his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard cf morality and religion, an 4 by a laudable love

which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slll,—The question, Who wrote Junius ? reminds
one of the old solecism, Qui fit ilicecenas ? who made
Mzecenas? Ut nenzo what, no one? Quatn sibi
sortent ! what a lucky fellow ! So much has been
said, and well said, about Sir P. Franci4, that it has
the air of a plagiarism to continue the subject ; but
some of those statement 3 read more like pleading 3
than arguments. Happily, none of Sir Poitip's re-
presentatives hive a particle of vanity, or this contin-
gent, metonymic amaranth, woui I sircly tantalise
them..

could Lave written the letttrs ? A cousensus of etni•

nett prsons in those tinr,,s th-ci !e.l —S one but
That Francis elied tits letters is as clegr
as that Bunke wrote them ; and it is hlrtly p.,s,sib!e
the editor may not have known who the mysterious
contributor was ! sive by th t rogniiroh, or " twi•
light of the gods," which stJll:!ed to show thitilc

ing men it could only be Burke. Probably,
if in the hurry of printing any in:erieylatien or
change had been necessary, Francis was the last to
do it without discovery, from the idios3ncrasies of his
mind. The arguments from similarity of style are
fallacious : whoever wrote the Letters nullnnz fere
scribendi genus non altigit, nullum quod tett* git non or-
navit. Burke bad already imitated Bo!ingbiale (awful
name), so as to deceive every one : the Sublime and
Beautiful appeared anonymously, and we have still
among us an illustrious Irishman who affects the
style coupe. Burke's versatility enabled him to write
Philo-Junius, Veteran, Mikis, and what not ? Lord
G. Germaine, Francis, Hamilton, Calcraft, Rosen-
hagen—hoc genus homne, could not write more un-
like Burke than himself when he pleased.
Burke was facile princeps —Francis, ultimus
Romanorum : one was the author, the other, to use
his own phrase, " managed the conveyancing depart-
ment :" for Francis to have written one of the letters
was morally as impossible as it was physically so for
Burke to undertake the conveyancing. The Junius
firm extended to several persons who collected mate-
rials, threw them into the " Lion's mouth" of a tre-
mendous inquisition,
,and frequently wrote on their
own account. Were they formally initiated ? No,
they guessed the author, as Wilkes, Horne Tooke,
and even Lord Grenville, who once said in a
large company, " I know who Junius was, and
will never reveal it." Horne Tooke crossed his
knife and fork, and said solemnly, " I do." All
this would be adsurd if Francis had been the
author, and his own solemn silence still more absurd,
for what, in the name of nonsense, would be the
consequence if, in after times, Junius were ascer-
tained to be Francis ? But, if Burke wrote the
letters he was a conspicuous mark, and " could not
survive the discovery three days." To save his life,
" to spare the meek usurper's holy head," was the
object of his many friends.

In the sitting of the senate of Turin of the 26th
ult., the President read a letter from the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, accompanying the official deed by
which her:Royal Highness the Duchess of GENOA
renounces her right of succession to the throne cf
Saxony.
The members of the Casino of the city of Cagliari,
having offered to give a ball to Rear-Admiral Sir W.
PARKER and his officers, the former wrote on the
18th ult. to the President of the Casino, regretting
that the immediate departure of the fleet rendered it
impossible for him to accept the invitation, and ex.
pre4sing his warmest thanks to the Government and
inhabitants of Cagliari for their kind and friendly
reception.
The treaty concluded between Tuscany and the
Papal Government for the better repression of con-
traband trade has been published by the Giornale di
Roma. By this treaty eight custom-houses only are
maintained by each of the contracting powers on the
common frontier. The transit of goods is guaranteed
on either side on payment of about 25 centimes per
huadred weight. Bonded warehouses on the frontier
are abolished.

REDUCTION OF TAXES.—Wti have good reason to
believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, judging from
his present available resources, and the financial prospects of
the new year, feels confide t that he will be able to reduce
the taxation of the corn try to the extent, in round numbers,
of 2,009,000/. It is worthy of observation, that the remis-
sion of the window duties, and the repeal of the tax on ad-
vertisements, would, together, cause a loss to the revenue of,
as nearly as may be, t his sum. We may add, that there are
persons generally wtil informed as to Ministerial purposes,
who feel assured that these 'will be the two taxes which the
Right Hon. Gentleman will repeal in the coming session.

LATER FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, Di uusDA.y.
At a late hour last night the clipper packet sword-
fish, Captain Green, after a truly rapid passage,
reached the Mersey, bringing dates from Pernam-
buco to the day of her sailing, Dee. 8. The dates
from Rio Janeiro are to the 15th, and Bailie to the
23d of Nor. inclusive.
The political intelligence from Rio Janeiro is im-
portant, inasmuch as the warlike feeling announced
in previous advices still continues, and the Brazilian
Government were collecting their forces for the south,
and were making all preparations for a war with
Rosas.
The commercial advice% from Pernambuco state
sugar was in active demand, and the receipts
been on a larger scale than usual at that sea-
sthohanavtiDg
of the year, the exports to the end of November
exceeded those of all previous years. Currency
prices had receded, but principally for lower qua-
lities of white and muscovado ; the decline
was, however, not sufficient to allow European
limits to come into operation. The crop, from
all appearances, would be a large one. Prices
were :—Whites, first and second, 275. 6d. to 28s. 10d.;
ct,mmon assortments, 235. 10d. to 255. Bd.; low,
205.7 d. to 225. 11d.; muscovado, selected, 16r. 11d.
to 17s. 4id. ; ditto, average quality, 16s. to 168.51 d.;
ordinary, per cwt. Cotton was limited in supplf.
and eagerly bought up. The receipts from Jul, 1
to the present date were 19,000 bales; first qua ity
was quoted at Bd. to 81d. per lb. Dry salted hides
continued very scarce at .10. per lb. Exchange on
London was quoted at 29V. to 301
Freights were rather quiet, some ships were load-
ing cotton for Liverpool at id. per lb.
At Rio Janeiro the demand for toffee was active,
and prices bad advanced from mil. 3,900 to mil. 4 for
superior, mil. 3,700 to mil. 3.800 for good firsts, and
mil. 3,600 to mil. 3,700 for regulars. The stock on
hand was estimated at about r,0,000 bags. Freights
were steady at 60s. for the Channel. Exchange was
very firm at 2911.
At Bahia sugars were going to market very slowly,
al d bought at mil. 1,700 for browns, and mil. 2,100
for whites. Cotton was quoted at mil. 6,800 to nail.
7. Freights were breaking up, and ve:asels were
scarce-60s. might be obtained for Channei; Ex-
change on England ruled at 30d.

THE EXETHENWkItII TRADE.—The StafforAhite
Potteries are overdone with orders, and a conaiderabl I ad-
vance has taken place in the prices. The foreign order % are
more extensive than they have been for some years, an, ktill
general business is excellent. That free trade has net, ru
this branch of British industry is very clear.

the PACHA of EGYPT to the SULTAN. The PACHA
has, it is said, acceded to all the demands of the
Turkish Cabinet.

The earthquake at Rhodes on the 28th ult. occa•
sioned terrible devastation, the fortifications were
completely destroyed, and scarcely a house was left
without a trace of the calamity. Along the Anatolia
shore whole villages have been destroyed, and several
even have completely disappeared. At Marmorice
500 hou.s were laid prostrate. At Maori all the
stone buildings have been knocked down. Two hills
have met and swallowed up the village of MPslajik ;

casualties are calculated at about 1,000 souls.

HOLLAND.
THE HAGUE, MARCH 29.—The Minister of Fi-
nance has submitted eight very important projects of
• law to the Second Chamber :-
1. A tax upon Netherlands subjects of 3 per cent.
' upon all property, shares, funds, &c., derived from
foreign countries, which, at a given taxation of
:30,000,000, promises a yearly revenue of 900,000
florins.
" 2. Abolition of the tax on turf and coals, from which
the loss to the revenue is estimated at 2,391,950 florins.
Oa the other hand, an import duty of 25 per cent. per
I,ooolb. is imposed on coals, which will bring the re-
" venue 100,000 florins.
" 3. Reduction of the tonnage from 45 to 20 per cent.
This will involve a loss of 2,000,000 to the revenue.
" 4. Increase of the duty on sett, from which the Gro-
ver= en t expects 100,000 florins.
"5. Increase of the duty on sugar. From this pro-
ject of law, which has not yet been laid before the
Chambers, the Government expects a revenue of
' 6,000,000.
• "6. Abolition of immunity from duty by the inland
distilleries, which will probably yield the revenue of
• 115,000 florins.
"7. Modification of the stamp duty ; reduction to
one-half the duty on bills of exchange. This is esti-
mated to yield the revenue 100,000 florins.
"8. Modification of patents. This project is not
yet fully drawn up, so that it is not possible to give an
exact estimate of the sum which the Government ex-
pects to derive from this project of law; nor can the
• sum total of the financial reform be given with any de-
gree of accuracy."

SWITZERLAND.
The National Gazette of Switzerland of the 27th
contradicts a report of another insurrection having
occurred at Friburg, and states that the town re-
mains perfectly tranquil. The report seems to have
arisen from the fact that great numbers of people had
gone there merely to learn what had really taken
place. The number of insurgents killed in the insur-
rection which really took place, has been ascertained
not to exceed five.
The Swiss Federal Council has addressed a circular
to all the confederated States, informing them of the
events which have recently taken place at Friburg,
and calling their attention to the necessity of observing
the Strictest surveillance to prevent a recurrence of
such scenes in their several localities.
London, England, 1851-03-31

PAPAL AGGRESSION.

Mr. H. BERKELEY stated that, on an early occasion,
he should draw the attention of the House to this sub-
ject, with a view to obtain protection from the Pope.—
(Hear, hear, and langhter.)

RELIEF OF THE DESTITUTE POOR IN IRE-

LAND.

Mr. REYNOLDS begged to give notice that to-
morrow he should ask questions of the First Lord of the
Treasury respecting the Act under which the destitute
poor in Ireland were relieved, and the way in which the
poor rates were levied.
London, England, 1851-03-31

GERMANY.

Austria has, it is said, proposed to the Germanic
Confederation to purchase the German fleet.
Accounts from Berlin of the 20th state that the
Prussian Cabinet has presented its ultimatum to Austria
on the subject of the German question.
The circulation of the pamphlet, entitled " Dres-
den Conferences," is prohibited throughout the Aus-
trian dominions.

The Independance of Brussels says :
" A conflict, which appears likely to lead to the dis-
solution of the Second Chamber of Hanover, has arisen
between that body, which claims the constitutional right
of refusing the taxes. and the Government, which, sup-
ported by the First Chamber, refuses to the Second the
absolute exercise of that right. It was on the occa-
sion of the reductions which the latter wished to
make in the salaries of the members of the Supe-
rior Court of Appeal, and of the refusal which
it gave to the notes of credits for the provin-
cial Administrative Councils, that the conflict as-
sumed it serious character. The Government has de-
termined on not yielding, and the dissolution of the
Second Chamber may, therefore, be expected. It is M.
Stuve, the ex-Minister, who appears on this occasion, to
be at the head of the opposition."
It may be remembered that three Constituent As-
semblies, elected since 1848 to revise the Constitution
of Wurtemberg, have been successively dissolved by
the Government almost as soon as they had met, because
the Liberal party were found to be in a majority in
each of them. It was to prevent such a thing occur-
ring a fourth time that the King of WIIRTEMBERG
has just decided that the elections shall not take place
according to the Constitution now in force, but ac-
cording to that of 1819. His ordinance on the sub-
ject is equivalent to the abolition by decree of the
existing fundamental law, and to the return to the old
institutions. The King of SAXONY had already set
an example on this point to the King of WURTEM-.
BERG.

SEEDS.

The continuous arrivalol.VOreign Clover and Seed
have checked the &mind for that article. In prices,
however, we have no decline to notice. Linseed is quite
as dear, with a steady inquiry. Canary is held with
more firmness. Most other Seeds are a slow sale, at our
quotations. Scarcely any transactions have taken place
in Cakes.
London, England, 1851-03-31

This is all that is at present known. But taken in

connexion with the case' of the sisters Macarthy, which
occurred a few years ago in the convent of Blackrock, in
the county of Cork, it shows the necessity for a search-
ing inquiry into the case of Miss Talbot, and for the
adoption of measures adequate to secure society against
the juggling of priests and devotees. Unless the facts,
so pregnant with suspicion, to which we have adverted,
be fully disproved or explained, it is the duty of the
Court of Chancery to remove its ward from the influence
and control of her guardian and his accomplices. It is
to be feared that this aid comes too late. It is barely
possible that the influence of the insidious training of tea
years can now be effaced from the mind of the young
lady. Unless that mind be of far more than average
strength and independence, her future life is doomed
to be tormented by awful doubts and, anxieties, by
struggles to emancipate herself from
the superstitious
notions so carefully instilled
on the one hand, and
from insurmountable suspicions of the good faith and
affection of her spiritual instructors on the other. The
duty of the Legislature to
put a check upon such machi-
nations as have been proved in the case of the Blackrock
Convent, and all but proved in the case of the Taunton
Convent, is equally clear and less difficult. This is no
question between Protestants and Romanists. The lat-
ter have as real an interest as the former in the asser-
tion by the secular power of an authority to prevent an
organized priesthood from abetting the vindictive oppres-
sion of Y°llll7, people by relation whose selfish schemes

It is alleged that the clergy of other sects are as faulty
as those of the Romish Church; this, if true, would be a

all equally in check, but it is none for
glery of any one of them.
Without undervaluing the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill,
it is clear that there are evils it cannot touch; tangible
for holding t

evils that the State can and ought immediately to
grapple with. A more stringent and comprehensive law
etolerance°
of mortmain is needed ; a law on the subject of death-
bed testamentary bequests is needed ; a law to suppress,
or, if that be impossible, to regulate and control convene
teal establithments, is needed. But, above all, the in.
troduction of a pervading and sufficient system of secular
instruction is needed. Religious liberty implies full
power to every ir'lividual to adopt and adhere to that
religion to %elite_ free conviction attaches him. But free
choice in this matter is impossible so long as the system
of propagandism is substituted for intellectual training.

REPRESENTATION OF ENNISKILLEN.

A vacancy will be immediately created by the resig-
nation of the Hon. Henry Cole, next brother to the Earl
of Enniskillen, who has sat for the borough since the
death of his uncle, the Hon. Arthur Cole. The illness
of his brother, with whom he is about to proceed to the
continent, is the cause of Colonel Cole's retirement
from Parliament. Should none of the Enniskillen
family feel inclined to take possession of the vacant seat,
thera would be an excellent opening for some aspiring
barrister of Conservative and Protectionist principles
to commence public life.

THE BORNEO AFFAIR.

Mr. HUME said that as there seemed to be no objec-
tion, he should bring forward his motion with respect to
Borneo to-morrow.

THE KAFIR WAR.

Mr. HUME said that as this country was largely in-
terested in the expense of the Kafir war, he wished to
know whether the Government had taken any measures
to relieve the colony of the Cape of Good Hope from a
purely military Government, for Sir H. Smith seemed
intent rather upon the aggrandisement of his military
reputation than the welfare of the colony. He wished
to know what answer had been received to the last dis-
patch?

Mr. HAWES said that no answer had as yet been re-
ceived, but that Sir Harry Smith was in no way an-
swerable for the expenses occasioned by the contest with
the Kafirs.

THE BALLOT.

Mr. H. BERKELEY wished to ask his Noble Friend
at the hea&of.the Government, whether in the projects
which he intended to bring into the House for the future
government of the country, he intended to introduce any
measure for securing the ballet.:
Lord J. RUSSELL said clearly not.
INCOME-TAX.

In reply to Mr. CORBALLY,
Sir BENJAMIN HALL said, that in the event of
the Government not acting satisfactorily, he should cer-
tainly divide the House when in Committee on his no-
tice of motion respecting the income-tax.
Mr. M. GIBSON wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government whether, when the Dean
of Manchester was appointed, it was understood that
he was to take upon himself any duties which Parlia-
ment might in future impose upon his office.
Lord JOHN,RUSSELL's answer was not understood
in the gallery.
THE STAMP OFFICE NUISANCE.

Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to ask the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether, in the practice of the Board
of Inland Revenue, all monthly publications, containing
news, are held to be liable to the payment of stamp
duty; also, what is the cause of delay in the prosecu-
tion of the suit against the publication of an nnstamped
newspaper, edited by Mr. Charles Dickens, and called,
"The Household Narrative of Current Events."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
with regard to the first question, it was a matter of law
which he could not decide. As to the secoud question,
he could give no answer at all to it.

ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOPSIN THE COLON—IES.
Lord JOHN MANNERS begged to ask the Noble
Lord at the head of the Government whether the regu-

bishops in the colonies—whose appointment, it should be
recollected, emanated not from the Queen, but from the
Pope—which had been issued under the authority of the
British Government, were still in existence, and if they
were, whether there was any intention on the part of the
Government to do away with or to alter them?
Lord J. RUSSELL said that, in answer to the Noble
Lord's first question, he had to may that the regulatiens
were still in force; but with respect to the other inquiry
he could give no answer.
