The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the sabjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en
ge .t, novels which the present season has produced. 01 the cha-
raced, of Amelia 11o,is we have already spoken, and the extract we
gave given above is the surest voucher of the truths of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gcrdon, a wild and
impuLs,ce genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, to noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

bility of Nova Scotia as an important section of our
North-American possessions.
Very recently there has arrived in th!s country,
from the dependency last mentioned, a gentleman
entrusted with a mission intimately concerning the
interests of its active and intelligent population—we
allude to the Honourable JOSEPH HOWE, the Pro-
vincial Secretary. Himself deeply versed in the
labours and responsibilities of the Nova Scotia Go-
vernment, and acquainted, moreover, with the extra-
ordinary capabilities of the colony, Mr. HOWE was
perhaps, the fittest person that could have been selected
from among the members of the local administration
for the purpose of bringing its wishes before the
home Government for its acceptance and approbation.
As we understand, the principal object of the Honour-
able Provincial Secretary on arriving in the mother
country is to urge individually upon the chief of the
Colonial Department, and generally speaking upon
the whole of her MAJESTY'S Government, the ad-
visability of affording every reasonable encourage-
ment to a projected enterprise of considerable magni-
tude, and one promising net only to NOva. Scotia
itself, but in a greater or less extent to both hemi-
spheres a multitude of scarcely calculable advantages.
The enterprise we here speak of is no other than
a proposed intercolonial and intersectional line of
railway opening up communications uninterruptedly
between New York and Halifax. As an evidence
that the project is in no respect chimerical, and that
its anticipated good consequences are, in their nature,
anything but illusory, it is only necessary to trans-
cribe the eulogistic opinion entertained of it by Earl
GREY himself, her MAJESTY'S present Colonial Se•
cretary. Upon the scheme of railway extension to
the principal town of Nova Scotia, that statesman
has thus written :—" I regard the work," says he
"as one calculated to be of the highest ser-
vice to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick,
and instead of considering it as likely to
endanger by competition the still more important
scheme which has been proposed for connect-
ing Halifax with Quebec, I believe that it is likely to
prepare the way for the execution of the latter, and
that it will contribute to the same end, namely, that
of rendering Halifax the great port of communication
between the two continents of Europe and America."
So much for the estimate formed of the undertaking
by the Right Honourable the Colonial Secretary—an
estimate as earnest as it is, to our thinking, deserved.
The Honourable JOSEPH HOWE therefore, the Pro-
vincial Secretary of Nova Scotia, is entitled to our
congratulations for having arrived in England for the
purpose of advocating the claims of that important
province, provided to that end with a proposal of this
golden and inestimable character.
To the end that the enterprise under consideration
may be the more fully appreciated, it will be
advisable, perhaps, to glance at the social and political
progress already made by this remarkable and im-
portant possession. A cursory glance at its develop-
ment in these respects is, indeed, almost essential,
now that it is proposed to conduct through Nova
Scotia the main trunk of all the United States and
other North-American railways. The mere supposi-
tion that a time may arrive when the vast bulk of
European intercourse with the new world shall
be carried on by way of Halifax, invests
the whole of the colonial province, of which it forms
the capital, with an interest, it maybe, in some measure
disproportionately greater than that attached to the
other parts of our North-American possessions.
However this may or may not be, we cannot but
regard it as advisable to sketch hurriedly, but suc-
cinctly, the history of the rise of Nova Scotia under
British domination.
Nova Scotia then, it must be remembered, was
ceded by France to England as recently as the year
1713—50 that all the changes that have been effected
in its well-being since its passing under the rule of
the Anglo-Saxons, have taken place within a period of
140 years, an insignificant interval in the existence of
even the smallest and poorest dependency. When it
is borne in recollection that scarcely any regard what-
ever was paid to the interests of Nova Scotia by its
new possessors from 1713 to 1749, it will be seen that
the time during which the development of the capa-
cities of the colony could be watched over by the
British Government becomes very materially and ap-
preciably diminished. At the latter period, however,
in consequence of the renewal on the part of the French
monarchy of a disposition to interfere again with the
partitioning of the North American continent, the ob-
servations of the English, multitude were directed to:the
value of the colony, and a grant of 40,0001. was voted
by the House of Commons for the support of a num-
ber of emigrants. Thereupon nearly two thousand
of these emigrants, encouraged by the aid of Parlia-
ment, landed in Chebucto Harbour, and in 1750 (just
one hundred years ago) erected the town of Halifax,
directed in their hardy and resolute operations by their
Governor, the Honourable EDWARD CORNWALLIS•
Not long afterwards, namely in 1758, the value and
security of Nova Scotia became very considerably
enhanced by the capture of Louisburg and the occupa-
tion of Cape Breton ; and subsequently, that is to say
in 1768, the strength of those dependencies was sig-
nally increased by the resignation on the part of
France of each and all of her former possessions
in the North-American continent. Prior to this
final and crowning settlement of our colonial
power in that quarter of the western hemi-
sphere, namely, in 1758, during the year signa-
lized by the seizure of Louisburgoi constitution based
upon that of the mother country was granted to Nova
Scotia—a constitution comprising a House of As-
sembly, a Legislative Council, and a resi-
dent Governor. Gradually, however, a num-
ber of evils and abuses sprang into ex-
istence out of this very constitution, the
local administration at one time being led into a sys-
tem of deplorable extravagance. Nevertheless, there
arose ultimately in opposition to this extravagance
and to these abuses a vigorous opposition, out of
,which emerged in the end a great constitutional
struggle of fifteen years' duration. Alluding
to these events, the Provincial Secretary thus
expressed himself, in his farewell address
to his constituents, on the 31st ultimo :
" Responsible government, administered through
heads of departments, holding their places by the
tenure of public opinion, has occupied, as you are
aware, a considerable place in the public discussions
of British America, for the last ten or fifteen years.
We have lived, however, to see our principles
triumph—to see them recognised, after full debate,
by the Lords and Commons of England,
to see them clearly enunciated by successive Secre-
taries of State, in Canada and New Brunswick, no
less than in Nova Scotia, supplying new securities
to liberty, and fresh vigour to every branch of the
Administration."
Furthermore, the Hon. Provincial Secretary ob
served, after detailing a variety of economical ar

result.

rangements :
" The past, with all its valuable results, is before
you—but no political party, no Administration indif-
ferent to the duties of the present hour, and unmindful
of future improvements, can live upon the fame of past
achievements, and grateful reminiscences of bygone
labours, however honourable these may have been.
The cry and the great want of Nova Scotia, at the
present time, is further industrial development—
active employment for the people—new and
improved facilities for business and social
intercourse. To this field of honourable
labour she invites all her children, without
reference to past differences of opinion, and in utter
oblivion of the rivalries and ardent feelings which
past contests have aroused. In this field there is
work enough for us all for twenty years to come.
Upon this field I am prepared to enter, as an
humble labourer, in the spirit evoked at the great
meeting held in the capital on the 25th of August. I
believe that a Government fostering that spirit
—nobly sustained by it, and dedicating the public
treasure and the public credit to the work of indus-
trial development, may do much good. With a vie w
to give form and direction to that spirit, I have ac•
cepted the important mission with which I am
charged. If I succeed, our country will reap the
advantage—if I fail, the mortification will be my own ;
but I shall bear it with the consciousness that I have
done my best."
For the better comprehension of the mission en-
trusted to the Honourable Provincial Secretary the
following extract from the dispatch of the Governor
of Nova Scotia, bearing date the 29th of August,
1850, may not be deemed unworthy of
especial consideration :—" In the meantime," says

the Governor, "I should be glad to be informed
whether, upon such pledges as have been regarded as
satisfactory in other colonies being given, her MA-
JESTY'S Government would be disposed to aid Nova
Scotia with its guarantee of such funds as she may
find it necessary to borrow in England, in order to
construct this road. These would not exceed
800,0001. sterling, and would probably be secured
not only on the general revenues of the province, but
upon the road itself. Such a guarantee would enable
the province to enter the market upon the best terms,
and effect a large saving in the accomplishment
of the work. The revenue of Nova Scotia is
about 80,000/. sterling, her debt but 87,8921.
sterling, of which 47,892/. is represented by pro-
vince paper, on which no interest is paid. The per •
manent and indispensable charges are about
40,0001., leaving about 40,000/. of surplus re•
venue available for public improvements. The re-
venue has increased 4,4001. within the present year.
The increase on the whole would probably be
10,0001."

From all that we have here remarked, it must be
sufficiently obvious that the period has at length
arrived when her MAJESTY' Government may re-
lease themselves from the pressure of colonial
difficulties by according a full and cordial support to
enterprises like the one here indicated. Out of all
which considerations we cannot but regard the ar-
rival of the Hon. JOSEPa HowE amongst us, on this
important mission relating to the affairs of Nova
Scotia, as a circumstance inaugurative of a new and
happy change in our entire system of Colonial Go-
vernment.

Our impression of yesterday contained a full report
of the proceedings at the first annual meeting of the
Retford Currency Society, including the admirable
and instructive address of the Rev. JOHN TweLLs,
whose name will be received by our readers as
that of a familiar friend, with whose enthusiastic,
indefatigable, and, we may truly add, disinterested
exertions in the great cause of monetary reform they
are well acquainted. To his efforts may be ascribed
the success that has attended the society, of which he
may be regarded as the founder, and which
enabled the committee to issue a report in every respect
so satisfactory to its members at the termination of
the first year of its existence. It is, indeed, delight-
ful to witness in any infant association the full and
efficient performance of the promises made at the
time of its formation. Seldom, indeed, are the preli-
minary expectations realised—unexpected difficulties
will arise that but too frequently defeat the best in-
tentions, and afford ample excuse for comparative
failure. But on this subject the Retford Society
had nothing to reproach itself; it had to offer no
apologies, to seek no indulgence; it achieved more
than even its most sanguine adherents and supporters
could have ventured to anticipate. On no single point
was there a deficiency or failure. At the time of its
formation it was stated that its practical operation
would be-
1. To circulate information on the subject of the
currency by means of cheap publications.
2. To promote lectures on the currency.
3. To impress their representatives in Parliament
with the importance of an alteration in the exist-
ing laws.

These were the modes of action indicated as best
calculated to attain that great desideratum--a large
and comprehensive measure of monetary reform,
which would affurd the nation the inestimable bles-
sing of a currency adequate to its wants and exi-
gencies. A brief and cursory glance at the report
itself will show how fully these pledges have been
redeemed.

On the first point several cheap and simple,
but at the same time most useful and instruc-
tive publications have been published, of which about
15,000 have been circulated, and these, say the com-
mittee, " have succeeded in awakening much in-
terest on the subject." Much more might
have been truly said in favour of these
admirable little tracts without violating the
truth, or in any degree infringing upon the
laws of modesty, which forbid self-praise. We can
say that they contain a variety of sound in-
formation, conveyed in a plain and lucid style,
so as to be perfectly intangible to every person of
ordinary capacity, and to afford a general insight
into the merits of a question that has been erroneously
stated to be of the most abstruse and difficult cha-
racter ; while even those who have studied the matter
in all i;,s details will derive additional instruction
from these unpretending little works. It is, indeed,
delightful to find that there has been a demand for
15,000 copies, and that within so brief a period as has
elapsed since their appearance. We may fairly calculate
that, on an average, each copy has passed through at least
four different hands; here, then, we find no less than
60,000 persons whose " interest has been awakened
on the subject," which is shown to be of the most

vital importance to their own welfare and happiness.
It is impossible that any unprejudiced person can
rise from their perusal without at least being desirous
of investigating the matter further, and seeking addi-
tional information in case any doubts should remain.
Now this is all we desire as monetary reformers.
Convinced of the justice and expediency, the wisdom

and policy, of a thorough revision of that iniquitous
and inequitable code that double rivets the chains of
the debtor, and deprives industry of its legitimate

rewards, we only seek to excite a spirit of inquiry,

For where that exists there can be no doubt as to the

" Magna est veritas, et preevalebit."

Truth is great, and will unquestionably prevail
whenever there is full and free discussion. Our
greatest enemy is that culpable apathy, the chilling
indifference which is but too frequently exhibited,
when persons, even men in comparatively-
high positions, who are perhaps looking for-
ward to a seat in the Legislature, profess
their total ignorance on by fir the most im-
portant topic that can come before Parliament.
When, however, the various constituencies become
interested in the subject, when persons in the enjoy-
ment of the elective franchise have studied the ques-
tion and made themselves masters of its details, the
would-be representatives will be compelled for very
shame's sake to refrain from-such humiliating and dis-
graceful confessions, and to select a banner
under whic'a to array themselves—to rank
themselves among the friends or opponents of mone-
tary reform. And this will be achieved if other cur-
rency societies similar to that of Retford be formed in
each district, and publications circulated in the lo-
cality calculated "to awaken the interest of 60,000
persons." On this point, then, no doubt can remain
but that the It etford Society has faithfully and effi-
ciently discharged the obligation it assumed of "cir-
culating information on the currency."
On the second point, we find that the
services of the clear-beaded and talented
JONATHAN DUNCAN, the efficient secretary of
the National Currency Reform Association, were
obtained. That gentleman delivered lectures—
which it is almost a work of supererogation to say
were "able," for what has ever fallen from him, in
speaking or writing, that was not "able" and perti-
nent to the topic under discussion Newark, Work-
sop, Lincoln, and Retford. Public meetings were
also held at Tuxford (two), at Retford (two),
and at Worksop, 011erton, Carlton in Linderic,
Market Bosworth, and Derby, in which
Mr. TWELLS enlightened the auditors with those
admirable addresses to which it has so repeatedly
been our pleasing duty to direct the public attention.
It is unnecessary to say how the duties devolving upon
such men as Mr. DuiscAst and Mr. TWELLS were dis-
charged. Their assertions, sustained by the most
convincing evidence, the most logical arguments,
could not be controverted or denied, and it is not too
much to say that they induced many thinking men
to bestow serious consideration on this all- important
document.

On the third point various petitions to both Houses
of Parliament were adopted, which were numerously
and influentially signed, and which, we doubt not,
will have considerable effect in bringing the subject
under the consideration of the Legislature during the
approaching session. In every manner and on every
point,. then, the Retford Society has faithfully per-
formed its promises, and we only hope that the in-
creased means that must unquestionably flow to its
coffere, not only from the inhabitants of the vicinity,
but from all parts of the country, may be applied with
similar judgment and discretion, and be, productive of
Equal advantages to the good cause. We cannot

conclude without expressing our apprecikion of the
compliment paid to ourselves for the part
we have taken on the all-important question. We have
merely given utterance to our honest convictions,
we have discharged the sacred duty which devolved
upon us as public journalists of endeavouring to pro-
mote, by every means in our power, the attainment
of those measure on which the prosperity of England
mainly depends. We confess, however, that it is
satisfactory to find so handsome an acknowledgment
of our labours as that contained in the report of the
Retford Currency Society.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The National has the following :—At the moment
of going to press we received, with a request for im-
mediate insertion, the following letter, addressed by
the Honourable General CAVAIGNAC to the editor of
the Monitcur du Soir :
" Monsieur le Redacteur,—l have just seen an article
in 3 our journal this evening. I give a public contra.
diction to whoever may pretend to have ever heard me
inter a single word which was not expressive of the
deepest respect for the fundamental law of the country.
I give a formal contradiction to whoever shall pretend
to have heard me say, directly or indirectly, that I
should ever place my affections and my sword at the
service t,f him, who, after having sworn to observe the
constitution of the country, would accept a candidate-
ship, and an election prohibited by that constitution.
Accept, &c."
The following is the passage of the article in the
Moniteur du Soir, to which General CAVAIGNAC gives
such a peremptory contradiction
" A representative of a southern department, ex-
pressed his astonishment to General Cavaignac, at the
silence which he had observed relative to the opinion
attributed to him by M. Savalette, on the subject of the
prolongation of the powers of the President of the Re-
public. Why should I put myself forward,' replied
the General; ' why should I correct inexactitudes of
recital more or less intentional?' 'But, in fact,' again
asked the representative, what do you think of the
solemn election of 1852, and what will you do, if, not-
withstanding the terms of the constitution, the immense
majority of voters should again confer tho Presidency of
the Republic on Louis Napoleon Bonaparte?' If the
majority of the country,' replied General Cavaignac,
• were to declare itself in that way, I cannot admit the
right of any one to place himself above the will of the
country, freely expressed. What the country wishes
every one should wish. If it be clearly and loudly shown
that France, of her sovereign authority, again invests
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte with the office of first magis-
trate of the Republic, I bow with respect and submission
before the majesty of such a wish; I again place my
affections and my sword at the service of the country
and of its executive representative, and defend them
with all the vigour of my patriotism against the attacks
of the parties vanquished in 1830 and in 1848. The
country and its will before all.' "
The truce between the Bonapartists, the Legiti-
matists, and the Orleanists has already ceased, and
their respective organs in the press are now attacking
each other as energetically as ever; the ALLAIS affair
(ALLeis is the man who gave information to M. Yom
of the plot for the assassination of General CHAN-
GANNIER), seems destined to be a perpetual source of
annoyance to poor M. CARMEN; finding that his
attempt to pooh-pooh the revelations of ALLAN did
not succeed, he sent a physician to examine him, with
orders to report as to his state of mind. Dr.
Baoussals accordingly visited him, and reported that
he was perfectly sane ; thereupon, finding his at-
tempts to ignore the plot unavailing, M. CARLIER
wrote a note to the journals, stating that the
club of which ALLars was a member was
not a Bonapartist club, but was presided
over by a celebrated Legitimatist. Had he
stopped at this, M. CARMEN, perhaps, would
have been safe, but, unfortunately, the worthy Prefect
was so " left to hiniself"as to condescend to particulars,
and in the foreign correspondence of a Belgian journal
(the foreign correspondence of all the reactionary
journals is inspired direct from the office of M. CAR-
LiErt), he announced that the celebrated Legitimatist
was the colleague of M. CIIAMBOLLE ; thereupon the
Opinion Publigue, the organ of the colleague of M.
CHAAIDOLLE, publishes the following defiance to M.
CARLIER :
" There has just happened what might have been ex-
pected. The prefect of police has written to a journal,
by the hand of a hussier, that it was a well-known Legi-
timatist who presided over the Bonapartist society of,the
Faubourg Montmartre. Two days afterwards the Pays,
a paper whose relations with power are well known, in-
quires if this Legitiatmist do not happen to be a friend of
M. Cbambolle? To-day wo find a Belgian journal
giving insertion to a letter from Paris, written by friends
of the prefecture of police, that the well-known Legiti-
matist, the 'colleague of M. Chambolle, is M.:Leo de La-
borde. Our friend M. Leo de Laborde authorises us to
give a defiance to the prefect of police to write his name
at the foot of this allegation of the Belgian journal,
which he declares to be an odious and cowardly calumny.
which, as if ashamed of itself; hits token refuge in a fo-
reign journal because it could not be published here
without a signature, lie calls on the prefect of police
to explain himself publicly, and if he keeps silent the
public equity will judge this unheard-of proceeding.
which introduces into the French press an insinuation
which, by travelling in the world, becomes at the end of
three days a calumny."
It was not to be expected that after such an assertion
on the part of M. CARLIER, silence would be observed
by the Orleanist M. CIIAMBOLLE, and accordingly we
find the following in the Ordre :
" Do you desire that we should for your edification
tell you what the intrigue is that appears too most pro-
bable, and in which it is hoped to make you play the
part 6f dupes. People talk about a very little committee,
composed of diverse elements, but united by a common
thought, that of bringing together through fear the
men of your party, even those of different intentions, for
the sake of voting the prolongation of the President's
powers, and by the following method:—lnquietude
would be exerted unceasingly as to the designs, and
as to tho enterprise more or less near of the ancient
Conservatives and ancient Constitutionalists, and as an
act of suprrme ability the opportune moment would

you may do so; but it is easy to foretell even at this day
the effects. Need we try to lead our readers through the
labyrinth of these inventions and tricks? One word is
enough. Any intrigue, no matter what colour it may
assume, or from what side it may come, or to what ob-
ject it may tend, will be openly condemned. Neither
surprise nor violence! This was our maxim long before
it found its way into the Message of the President. Let
us all adopt it for the sake of arriving at the only one
honourable solution, which is, that the majority has a
right to decide freely
destinies of the nation."

ENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Advices which we have received from Rendsburg
contradict the late statement, according to which the
Cabinet of Berlin had desired the Stadtholders to
submit to Denmark.

The Stadtholdershave received no such notification
from the Prussian Cabinet.
Hanover has protested against the proposal to join
its troops to the Federal army ; but no protest has
been made against the march of that army through
the Hanoverian territory.
Our advices from Copenhagen are of the 16th inst.
Thsy contain no neves of public interest.
Baron Pechlin has arrived in the Danish capital.

HOLLAND.

were to be discussed :-1. Granting pensions to the
former members of the First Chamber. 2. Regu-
lating the ground-rent in the duchy of Luxembourg.
3. The inscription of the civil pensions for 1850. 4.
Registration law and letters of naturalisation.
The latter project, which is of much importance,
will be referred to a committee which was appointed
on the spot. The budget for 1851 is now in the press.

EFFECT OF RATIONAL AMUSEMENTS ON THE
PEOPLE. The Queen's marriage was honoured at Manches-
ter by all the public institutions of the town being thrown
open gratuitously to the public. More than 70,000 persons
visited the Zoological Gardens; yet we learn from a speech
of Mr. S. Greig, at the annual meeting of the Macclesfield
Useful Knowledge Society, that no wanton mischief was
done or property destroyed, the whole amount of damage
sustained consisting of some of the grass sod being ,trampled
down by the presence of this immense concourse of people;
and as a sequel to all it is a fact that after this universal holi-
day, when the whole population had been turned out to enjoy
themselves, the next morning there were fewer than even
the ordinary number of cases of drunkenness brought before j
the bench of magistrates.—Penny Magazine, Dec. 5, 1840.
PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSE FUND —A dramatic per.
formance, we perceive, is announced to be given by the

Theatre, to-morrow (Saturday) evening, in aid of the en-
dowment fund connected with the above valuable institution.
Sbakspere's As You Like It and the farce of The Haunted
Inn will be played. We trust the efforts of the Dramatic
Society will meet with a hearty response from the friends of
the institution, and the trade at large.
THE GREAT SALE AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.
—MENAI STRAITS, THERSDAY.—The sale of the immense
surplus materials at the Britannia-bridge, and which is being
attended by a very large number of buyers and bidders from
all parts, commenced on Tuesday rooming, amidst a storm
of wind and rain, such as has not been witnessed in the loca-
lity for years past. The spring-tide was raised by the gale
to an unusual height, overflowing the banks of the Menai,
and the spray was carried by the storm in one incessant cloud
beneath the arches of the bridge. It was some time before
the subsidence of the waters enabled the purchasers to occupy
the ground, but soon after the auction commenced with great
spirit, the articles consisting of enormous balks and quanti-
ties of timber, workshops, offices, sets of stages, fire-en; nes,
and iron by tons on tons, realising fair prices. The' first
day's sale consisted of 258 lots. Yesterday (Wednesday))
the second day's sale, there was a very good attendance, and
the prices were better than on the previous day. There were
250 lots, consisting of the 10-inch ropes and hawsers, from
100 to 200 fathoms each, manufactured expressly for the
bridge by London and Liverpool makers. There were seve-
ral of Carter and Kisbee's life-buoys, anchors of from 5 cwt.
to 15 cwt., cable stoppers, capstans, boats, and chains. The
proceeds of each day's sale are estimated at upwards of a
thousand pounds. To-day (Thursday) and to-morrow the
most valuable articles, such as the hydraulic presses, chains, &c., will be brought under the hammer.
When marriage is founded on prudence and honour,
life has a definite object, and existence becomes a substantial
blessing. - Eliza Cook's Journal.
We have reason to believe that the letter of Lord
John Russell to the Bishop of Durham will lead to results
which were little anticipated at the time of its publication.
We are informed, from good authority, that it is likely to
create very great confusion in the Irish Government. It is
even whispered that one of the chief law officers of the Crown
has either already resigned or is about to resign his situation,
on the ground that he cannot with any satisfaction to himself
retain his connexion with a Government whose head has
spoken so slightingly of those ceremonies of his religion,
which he regards with feelings of profound reverence, as to
call them " nsummeriekl!".eslideertiser.
