LON DON,

tural produce if titey were permitted to dispose as
they thought proper of the game on their respective
holdings—that they would, in fact, be quite content
if " protection to game" had been abolished simul-
taneously with protection to corn.
But there is another point of no less importance
than those to which we have already alluded. We
must also learn whether the cultivation of the soil is
conducted in the most skilful as well as in the most
economical manner. Are, then, all the appliances
of modern science fairly brought into operation ?
Does the farmer avail himself of the various advan-
ttages which were altogether wanting to his prede-
cessors ? We fear that the answers to these ques-
ions will not be more satisfactory than those relating
to currency and game. Every man seems to con-
sider that he is "born a farmer," that he bas only
to follow oa the beaten track, that he may
neglect the obvious expedients for increasing
the quantity and quality of his produce
and yet that his business should prove profitable.
What, we ask, would be thought of a cotton manu-
facturer who imagined that he could dispense with
the machinery and improvements invented during
the last half century ? who repudiated "spinning-
jennies," and continued to pursue the system that had
become obsolete ? Would such a man be deserving of
pity ? Would he be entitled to demand legislative
assistance, or to have a tax imposed on calicoes for his
protection ? Most assuredly not. He would be
justly regarded as an " imbecile," and his clamorous
petitions would be treated with well-merited scorn.
But this is what the agriculturists expect. They
vainly imagine that their business should be ren-
dered so profitable by means of " protection" that they
may support themselves and families with little exer-
tion of mind or body, that a careless and slovenly
mode of cultivation should answer all their purposes.
Lord STANLEY, in his celebrated speech at Bury, de-
clared that "he had seen lands in such a state of
absolute neglect that he had stared with astonishment
when told what was the amount of rent which the
late tenant was nominally engaged to pay out of such
land." But the faineants, who act in this culpable
manner, most probably ascribe their losses to the
abolition of protection, and are the most clamorous
for its restoration. It is a comfortable creed to be
able to shift the blame from their own shoulders to
any other quarter. Before, however, their demands
can receive any attention, they must show that they
have done everything practicable on their own behalf,
that their losses are the result of misfortune and not of
their own faults. Until that is the case, Parliament
will reply to their petitions in the language of
HERCULES to the waggoner—Aides toi, le ciel eaidera.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

' We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Commission of Permanence assembled on
Monday, under the Presidency of M. Durirr, and
adjourned to Thursday, as the differences between
the Bourbonists and the PRESIDENT have been tem-
porarily arranged, by the latter pledging himself to
continue General CHANG ARNIER in his command,
whilst the former will not insist upon the immediate
dissolution of the Society of the Oth of December.
The PRESIDENT was much irritated iwhen he read
the order of the day of General CHANG ARMES, and
proposed his immediate dismissal, but his Ministers
were so terrified at the probable consequences of such
a step, that not one of them would countersign the de-
cree. The PRESIDENT then determined to dismiss
his Ministry, and call to his councils men of firmer
nerve, or of more honesty of purpose than the old
Bourbon clique of LA HITTE and Co., but he suf-
fered himself to be mollified by a quasi
apology offered by CHANGARNIER) who called
at the Elysee on Monday for the purpose
of offering explanations as to issuing the order of the
day. A temporary reconciliation is therefore patched
up between the Elysee and the Tuileries, and, as an
" outward and visible sign" of a cessation of hostilities,
the PRESIDENT and the General are to dine together
at M. 1) UPIN'S. The Bourbonists consider this a vic-
tory, and both the Legitinsatist and Orleanist jour-
nals, including the Urdre, the organ of ODILLON
BARROT and TRIERS, " snub" the PRESIDENT RC-
cordingly, and threaten him with all sorts of punish-
ments should he attempt to emancipate himself from
the thraldom in which they believe they hold him.
General CHANGARNIER has published the follow-
ing Order of the Day on the appointment of Ge-
neral CARRBLET to the place of General Nan-
MATER

" By a decree of the President of the Republic, dated
the 29th of October, General Carrelet, commanding the
7th military division, is called to the command of the Ist,
vice General Neumayer, promoted to the superior com-
mand of the 14th and 15th divisions. In communicating
this arrangement to the troops, the General-in-Chief
doubts not that General Carrelet will maintain in his di-
vision that spirit of order, discipline, and devotedness
which has constituted the force of the Army of Paris,
and that, following the example of his predecessor, he
will secure on every point the complete execution of the
military regulations."
