Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street: titled to great merit in furthering the good work.
The skill, ingenuity, perseverance, and industry, of
the manufacturing classes must come in for a large
share. Their labour has obtained its reward.
Merchant princes have sprung from the lowest
of the people—the Cotton Lords are tread-
ing upon the heels of the titled Lords ;
the intelligence of the operatives of Birmingham,
Manchester, Leeds, and fifty other great hives of
industry, stands out in broad relief, when contrasted
with the half-fed, the uneducated, the helpless and
almost hopeless children of the soil. The speech of
Lord STANLEY, and his Canada Corn Bill, are signs
of happy omen to men who have struggled so man-
fully in a noble cause : well-grounded hopes of vic-
tory will cheer them on to further exertions, and the
day, we trust, is not far distant when the landowner
and his best customer, the manufacturer, will view
this great question in the same light, and settle it by
an amicable arrangement.

Whilst we, in London, were deploring, on Mon-
day last, the lifeless apathy with which that anniver-
sary of the glorious battle of Trafalgar, and of the
almost consecrated death of our Great Admiral,
seemed to be regarded in the very Capital whose
streets had so often echoed to the thunder of the
guns—and glowed with the festival lights—which
celebrated the succession of his brilliant triumphs by
land and by sea, over the enemy, there were other
hearts still throbbing to the immortal recollection.
associated with his name, other hands, performing
grateful and reverential homage to his illustrious
memory, within the same stout walls of British oak,
from whence he achieved his last and crowning vic-
tory, and where he encountered his heroic fall with
the sublime constancy, and simple grandeur, of a
hero ! Often as we have been called upon, in common
with all our fellow-subjects, to commend the truly
national prepossession which her MAJESTY so pointedly
manifests, at all times, for the Naval Service of the
country, and the fine manifestations of that dauntless
bearing on the waters which so well becomes the
QUEEN of the Islands, we have never experienced
a feeling of more enthusiastic admiration for her
MAJESTY'S personal character and deportment than
has been excited in us by the account of her unex-
pected visit to the Victory, on the 21st instant. It
seems that, attracted by the unusual decorations of.
that majestic vessel—(every timber of which, like
that of the adventurous " Argo" of old, or of the
craft which carried DRAKE in safety on his memorable
circuit of the globe, ought to be carefully preserved
as an heir-loom to our posterity)—her MAJESTY—iII
the act of proceeding in the state barge of the Port-
Admiral to the Royal Clarence Victualling-office at
Portsmouth, where the Lords of the Admiralty were
awaiting her arrival—inquired the reason of the
Victory's being dressed with laurels over her taffril,
decks, sides, round-tops, and figure-head, and of the
firing from her guns ? On being apprised by Captain
ROWLEY that these honours were paid to the anniver-
sary of the day of Trafalgar, on board NELSON'S
own Victory, her MAJESTY at once exclaimed, "I
will go on board that ship." The course of the barge
was accordingly altered, and the QUEEN presently
stood upon its quarter-deck, animated by emotions
which, as none could feel more keenly, so, assuredly.
none could give more graceful expression to. Tht
signal devotion, the incalculable services which the
early friend of her royal uncle, and predecessor on
the throne, had exhibited and performed throughout
the whole of his mighty career to the country which
idolised him whilst living, and can never, without
signal ingratitude, be wanting to his posthumous re-
nown ; the disinterested and chivalrous intrepidity of
his character, and the eventful success, though sealed
with his heroic blood, which signalised his last ex
hortation to each of his followers "to do his duty ;"
—these remembrances and others, awakened by the
passing scene and its associations, seem to have arisen
vividly to the mind of the young SOVEREIGN. St 4
was profoundly affected. She plucked an impressive
and apt memorial—a leaf or two from the spray 04
laurel which garlanded the spot where a brass tablet
still records, with touching simplicity, the fact—
" Here NELSON fell ;"—and descended, after a brief
pause of sympathising regret, to the dark and silent
cabin, on whose walls a homely, but still more solemn
legend, apprises each patriot pilgrim to the locality
that had witnessed the departure of his heroic spirit,
that " Here NELSON died." On this hallowed spot
the QUEEN dropped a generous tear ; and she lingered
some minutes, in the indulgence of feelings that may
more easily be imagined than described, from the
conflict of spirit-stirring recollections with more
painful and saddening sympathies. At her departure
from the stout old ship, the tars who manned the
yards, or were distributed throughout the various
shipping and the large flotilla of boats in the harbour,
testified by their boisterous, but honest cheering, how
highly they appreciated the grateful respect which
her MAJESTY had testified for one of the boldest, of
the most intelligent, and able, and fortunate com-
manders, who had ever vindicated, on its ocean home,
the glory of her flag, and, with it, the rights of her
crown.

We are convinced that, had her MAJESTY pur-
posely devoted the mature deliberations of an entire
year's privacy to the determining by what course of
action she could best ensure a permanent impression
of enthusiastic loyalty and personal attachment to-
wards her, on the part of her people—and of the
Naval Service more especially—she could not have
arrived at a happier conclusion than that which was
the result of her spontaneous resolution, adopted on
an unexpected and accidental communication made in
answer to her own casual inquiries, on the thirty-
ninth anniversary of the battle of Trafalgor!

We cannot discover, in the last files of Australian
papers which we have received, any much more sub-
stantial grounds of encouragement as to the prospects
of our various colonial possessions in those distant
latitudes, than we detect in the present aspect of our
West Indian Islands. Sir GEORGE GIPPS, indeed,
at the opening of the Legislative Council of New
South Wales, on the 24th of May last, pressed into
the service of the sessional inauguration speech every
possible topic on which- 'ne seems to have thought
that he could raise a touch of hopeful sympathy in
his audience. But these scattered touches of conso-
lation have no more principle of sustained vivacity
about them than the motions of the " Platypus"—
the paradoxical otter-duck of the territories he
governs—hear to the energetic action of veritable
birds, or genuine quadrupeds. His Excellency con-
gratulates his Council on the commencement of their
second session ; but the business he cuts out for them
supplies little or no matter of congratulation. llis
admissions, his facts, and his qualifications, both of
the one and the other, are in the nature, politically
speaking, neither of fish,. nor flesh, nor fowl. lIE
owns to the "large number of mechanics and labour-
ers, out of employ," and then in Sydney, "who have
been long in the colony," and yet felicitates the Coun-
cil on the arrival, during its previous recess, "of an
additional two thousand immigrants from the United
Kingdom." He exults in the fact that these latter
have, for the most part, subsequently obtained en-
gagements in New South Wales; but he forgets
that, in the same proportion, and to at least the same
amount, must the labour have been displaced by those
Sydney idlers, of whose case he remarks that " he
wail be happy to concur with the Council in any
measures it may judge expedient for their relief."
Another source of his exultation is drawn from the
opinion he has arrived at " that there is nothing in the
state of the public finances to create alarm." But he
acknowledges, on the other, hand, "the pecuniary dis-
tress which has so long prevailed in the colony."
For the fact proclaimed by his Excellency, that the
" decrease of the revenue of New South Wales had
been very large in the second half of the past year,"
we can hardly accept as a countervailing quantity,
his "disposition" to "hope that the ordinary revenue
had now passed its lowest point of depression." It
is rather a bitter qualification of the positive evil that
" the territorial revenue of the Crown (only) is en-
cumbered with a debt," to be assured of the negative
good, " that the ordinary expenditure of the whole
year had not exceeded the ordinary revenue." The
alchemy of the Utopian optimism, itself—which is so
contagious among the official functionaries of distant
colonies—can scarcely extract comfezt, we apprehend,
from so sombre a tail-piece to a Ciovernor's address
as this:—
