SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.2---Another heavy blow and great discourage-
ment for.the Government of false pretence. If Pyrrhus
exclaimed, " Another such .victory, and I am undone"
—what shall exclaim. Goulburn and Gladstone, who
purchase defeat—aye, and signal defeat-Let a mo-,
ral cost too great, had it purchased victory I " How-
is the Queen's Government . to be carried on.?"---'
may we ask his Grace of Wellington. Lord Mel-
bourne resigned in 1839, , because he had only a ma-
jority, somewhat under 20 (if we remember) on a
West India question. May we ask what her Majesty's
present Ministers propose as their course of action,
when they find themselves in a minority of twenty on a
West India question ? In common with our London
readers, our eyes have lately repeatedly fallen on gigan-
tic placards respecting " that mysterious person, Miles's
Boy." If Sir R. Peel passes submissively under the
Caudine Forks placed for him by:last night's division, we
shall no longer have any doubt where resides the real per-
sonal identity prefigured by that cognomen. We shall
henceforth be unable to think of the plausible Premier,
with any other addition than as " that mysterious
person, Miles's Boy." • That is where all his
mysteries of . statecraft appear to have landed
him. He has tried one mystery too many—
the attempt to mystify • suffering interests. For
the first we remonstrated—how much better to
have adopted an open policy. But an open policy
was not open to those who had so long• followed a
tortuous course. The party in power had chosen to
place their quarrel with their opponents on the old anti-
slavery ground, which they accused those opponents
of deserting. Now the antisslavery ground has not
been deserted ; it has been washed away. - There is no.
longer any sure footing upon it, for any man, or for any
party. Our slaves are emancipated ; our efforts against
foreign slavery fruitless. Common sense, to say no-
thing of common honesty, should have dissuaded the old
pro-slavery interest from taking up the old anti-
slavery cry. We have now seen the last agony of that
hollow confederacy and pretence. We have seen the in-
evitable end of successively seeking to pay with words
all parties. It is a currency which there is not much
scruple in issuing, while the public will receive it ; but
the joint issuers are not the parties most disposed to
receive it themselves. They know its value ; and it
was a most remarkable reckoning without his host, that
Sir Robert Peel should have imagined he .could turn
against his constituent class-interests the very topics
they wer3 well enough pleased to hear him employ in
their favour. The distinction between free and slave
labour is valid to k( ep out the latter ; but not to admit
the former. That is where he has made his mistake.
But the West India interest, and the parties directly or
indirectly connected with it, could have had no power to
effect the Ministerial rout last night witnessed, but for
the fact that the same tortuous course which now dis-
gusts those parties (because it now goes against them) is
equally disgusting to all liberal minds.
STANDARD.—The West Indian interest, by the
aid of .the Whigs, free traders, and some discontented
Conservatives, last night succeeded in obtaining a
triumph over the Ministers. The triumph will be, how-
ever, of short duration, and it is most fortunate for the
West Indian portion of the victors that it will be so.
We have for twenty years closely watched the pro-
ceedings of the parties who have in this. country
undertaken the management effectes Indian affairs,
and we may say with p truth that we
have not known them to take one important
step which was not stupid, and fatal to their own inte-
rests, as well as being impolitic and unjust. Last night's
proceeding seems to prove that their character is un-
changeable. Formerly they hoped to be able to per-
petuate slavery, and consequently made no provision, by
educating, elevating, and promoting the increase of the
negro race, to secure a labouring population when slavery
should be at an end. The effect of that insolent neglect
of the feeling of England- accelerated the Emancipation
Act by many.years, and ,the want of the labouring popu-
lation, which the planters failed to provide, it is
which has ruined the West Indies. These are truths to
which we challenge an answer from any one. Since the
passing of the Emancipation Act, instead of remedying
their past neglect, they have been, in truth, negotiating
for a smuggled slave trade, while they have calculated
upon the perpetuity of the protection they have so long
enjoyed. The Government will not indulge them in
the smuggled slave trade, and hence their present
alliance with the Whigs. As to the more or less of pro
tection, it is a question which can hardly affect the in-
terests of the planters beyond one year at most. Their
late slaves are their present masters ; the cul-
tivators of the soil in. the West Indies receive six
times as much as the cultivators of the soil in Eng-
land ; improve their trade, and they will receive
seven or - eight times as much. This, how-
ever, is the way to diminish, not to increase, the
number of labourers, in a population finite and already
inadequate. The man who, with all the advantages of a
tropical climate congenial to his constitution and habits,
receives as much in wages as six or seven English
laboifrers, will not long labour at all. A very little
more of capital distributed among the West Indian
labourers will exempt them from the necessity of hiring
their labour to any one, and then what will become
of the planters?. We feel very sensibly for the
many excellent persons who have been ruined by
the gross mismanagement of their affairs, and it is for
the sake of the few who have been able to fight off utter
ruin to the present time that we speak thus plainly.
England will not endure a slave trade, how ingeniously
soever disguised, and without a slave trade, or a total
change of system; there is no hope for the West Indies;
but a change of system cannot be effected without with-
drawing the management of the affairs of the colonies
from those who have so grossly mismanaged them
hitherto. •

THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
The Black Eagle steam-vessel, under the command of
Captain the Right Hon. the Earl of Hardwicke, arrived at
Woolwich. from Rotterdam, at half-past six on Thurs-
day morning, and Captain the Earl of Hardwicke and Lieu-
tenant W. Peel, came on shore about nine o'clock, and pro-
ceeded to London by one of the river steamers from Charlton
pier, Lieutenant E. B. Stewart remaining in charge of the
vessel. Lieut.-Colonel Wylde, C. 8., of the Royal Horse Ar-
tillery, who accompanied his Imperial Majesty the Emperor
of Russia to Rotterdam, landed soon after the arrival of the
Black Eagle at Woolwich, for the purpose of paying a short
visit to his family, previous to his return to Buckingham Pa-
lace with the earliest steamer. His Imperial Majesty the
Emperor of Russia wal dressed in plain clothes when he went on
board the Black Eagle at WooNvich on Sunday evening, and,
with Prince Albert, greatly admired the fine looking and re-
markably clean detachment of Royal Marines, under Lieute-
' nan Marriott, selected for the occasion to serve in the Black
Eagle. His Imperial Majesty first expressed his approbation
in the hearing of the men ; and observing a medal on the
breast of the sergeant, and on the breasts of several of the
privates, the Emperor, in the kindest manner, asked the ser-
geant for what service he had received it, and was answered
that it was the Syrian medal, granted to those engaged in
the siege of Acre. His Imperial Majesty then addressed
Lieutenant Marriott, and complimented him in very flattering
terms on the fine appearance of the non-commissioned officers
and men under his command, and gave orders that they
should at once shoulder arms as the easiest position on duty.
The cloth was laid for dinner on tables taken on board at the
last moment, and placed on the deck of the Black Eagle, his
Imperial Majesty having expressed his desire to witness the
scenery on the banks of the river Thames as the vessel pro-
ceeded down the river. At an early hour on Monday morn-
ing his Imperial Majesty, dressed in military uniform, was
observed in conversation with Captain the Earl of Hardwicke
on the paddle-box, and during the day by his urbanity and
kind disposition completely gained the affections of all on
board, having freely entered into conversation with several
of the petty officers. The sergeant of the Marines was espe-
cially noticed by his Imperial Majesty, and by his request
went through the manual exercises of the British service.
The Emperor then took the sergeant's musket, and went
through the exercises of the Russian service, and in showing
the different positions, remarked that the British soldier
in presenting arms to salute the superior ranks made
three movements—placing his right hand- upon the
musket, raising it to his breast, and lowering it
to the proper position ; but the Russian soldier only
made two movements, placing the right hand on the
musket, and turning it round as it was conveyed into its
position, without elevating it in the least. The Emperor
added, that the British movements were certainly the most
graceful, but the Russian movements answered equally well.
At the conclusion of the exercises, his Imperial Majesty pre-
sented two sovereigns to the sergeant of the Royal Marines.
The Emperor during the day repeatedly expressed- how.
highly he was gratified with the speed of the vessel, and
the ease and freedom from tremulous motion with which she
glided through the water ; and examined the engines, and
the excellent accommodation in every part of this fine vessel.
All the officers onboard the Black Eagle were introduced to
his Imperial Majesty, and the voyage was delightful, and
everything as favourable as could be desired. On approach-
ing Helvoetsluys a fleet of Dutch vessels were observed, one
of the war steamers having the flag of the King of the Ne-
therlands at the mast-head, his Majesty being on board to
welcome the Emperor on his arrival. The King of the
Netherlands was received by his Imperial Majesty on board
the Black Eagle, about a mile before the vessel reached
Helvoetsluys, and the Emperor introduced the Captain,
the Earl of Hardwicke, Lieutenant-Colonel Wylde, Lieu-
tenant Brunton, and Lieutenant Peel, -to his Majesty, who
was dressed in military uniform, with eight or nine
orders and a Waterloo medal on his breast. The Royal
Marines being under arms, the Emperor again praised the
men for their fine appearance ; and the King of the Nether-
lands remarked that he had not seen finer men. The Em-
peror was so pleased that he presented a diamond ring to
Lieutenant Marriott, and ordered that 91. should be given to
the sergeant in addition to his previous gift, 5/. to each cor-
poral, and 4/. to each private and the drummer of the Royal
Marines ; and the respective sums were handed to them on
the quarter-deck of the Black Eagle at the time they were
about to disembark at Woolwich yesterday morning. On
entering the canal leading from Helvoetsluys, the King of the
Netherlands returned to his own vessel, and in a few minutes
after the Emperor of Russia left the Black Eagle amidst the
cheers of the British sailors, and was received by his Majesty
on the decrof his vessel amidst the most enthusiastic cheers
of his Dutch subjects, who had assembled in great numbers
on the banks of the canal to join in welcoming his Imperisl
Majesty. The scene along the whole of the canal to
the Maas river is described as having been most
animated, and truly gratifying. The Emperor in
again bidding farewell to the officers and crew of the
Black Eagle, at Rotterdam, repeatedly bowed, uncovered, and
said (placing his hand on his breast) " I thank ye—l
thank ye." The British tars again cheered his Imperial
Majesty as he departed with the King of the Netherlands
and the authorities at Rotterdam. It appears that those on
board the Lightning had not known the full extent of the
Emperor's liberality to the 'crews of the two vessels that had
the honour to convey his Imperial Majesty and suite to the
Continent, 500/. being awarded to them instead of 400/., as
previously stated. 350/. is the sum allotted to the Black
Eagle, and 150/. to the Lightning. The chief engineer of the
Black Eagle, in addition to a diamond ring, obtains 46/. ; the
second engineer, 10/. ; and two third-class engineers, 3/. each,
and the stokers 6/. each; the able seamen 4/., and the boys
3/. each, and the petty officers in proportion ; the petty
officers on board the Lightning 71., able seamen 3/., and boys
2/. each, as their shares of the amount divided amongst the
crew of that vessel. The Emperor's visit to this country
cannot fail to have a good effect, as it has done so much to
remove the prejudices which existed against him by the pub-
lic representations made of his character, as there has been
nothing throughout his whole conduct during his visit ex-
cept time most courteous demeanour and affability to all, and
a deep sense of the attention paid to him ; and it is impos-
sible I me could have assumed this appearance, had it been
contras yto his disposition ; but one glimpse of .his counte-
nancp lmd fine bearing must have been sufficient, to the un-
udi red, to dispel the illusion.

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver sup-
planted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA
PLATE.
C. WATSON, 41 and 42, BARBICAN, and 16, NORTON-FOL-
GATE, aided by a person et' science in the amalgamation of metals,
has succeeded in bringing to public notice the most beautiful article
ever yet offered ; possessing all the richness of Silver in appearance
—with all its durability and hardness—with its perfect sweetness in
use—undergoing, as it does a chemical process, by which all that is
nauseous in mixed metals is entirely extracted--resisting all acids—
may be cleaned as silver, and is manufactured into every article for
the Table and Sideboard.

C. Watson begs the Public will understand that this metal is pecu-
liarly his own, and that Silver is not more different from Gold, than
his metal is from all others ; on its intrinsic merit alone he wishes it
to be tested, and from the daily increasing eulogtums he receives, he
is convinced that nothing can prevent its becoming an article of uni-
versal wear.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—In the, foreign exchanges the rate upon Ham-
burgh experienced a decline, owing to letters from that place
by to=day's Mail advising a material fall there in the rate
upon London-. Amsterdam was likewise rather lower, in
consequence of a demand for bills upon that place, which de-
pression, however, did not extend to Rotterdam. Paris re-
mained about the same as last post.
Sir Robert Peel has answered the application of the Lon-
don banker's for an extension of the Bank of England's power
of issuing on securities beyond the 14,000,000 k in cases of
emergency. He refuses to allow such extension in any other
case than that already provided for in the sth clause of the
Bill—viz.,That of a private banker ceasing to issue his own
notes, and even denies that his speech, when first the mea-
sure was proposed, justified the supposition that a different
cA4urse would be adopted. It must, however, be said on the
part of the bankers, that whatever was the ori,ginal intention
of the Premier,- both his own language. and the correspon-
dence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with the Bank,
led the most experienced persons in the City to believe that
a. general power of extension was contemplated, and not
Merely a power in the one particular case.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTIT, JUNE 12.—The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenan
Commander W. Tringham, is awaiting sailing orders in the
harbour; she, was last from Guernsey, whither she had been
dispatched with troops.
The Prince George transpOrt, Lieutenant E. Ward, agent,
which came into harbour on Saturday, is taking in victual-
ling stores at the Royal Clarence-yard, with which she will
proceed to Deptford.
The Emerald, tender to the St. Vincent, Second Master
Samuel Baggs, and the Echo steam-tug, returned from Ply-
mouth, the former on Illonday, and the latter on Sunday.
The Echo had had a most hazardous and unpleasant voyage
down, and great blame is attributed to the authorities, who
ordered 'such a vessel on so important a service as that of
conveying 150 valuable seamen hence to Plymouth, whereby
their lives were endangered. The Echo is not fit for a rough
sea, and plunged so violently as to be compelled to put into
Torbay on Thursday, consequently she did not make Ply-
mouth until Friday evening, some time after the Emerald,
which had encountered the gale, and beat down with ease.
The authorities at Plymouth expressed their surprise at such
a vessel as the Echo being trusted on such a voyage.
The Cornwall freight-ship (late a transport under the
agency of Lieutenant A. B. Howe) arrived on Monday from
Hong-Kong, with a detachment of the 55th Regiment on
board. She is at Spithead awaiting orders to disembark her
troops and cargo.
The Sylvia, 6, surveying-vessel, and tender to the Sea-
flower, Commander N.obilliard, sailed on Sunday evening
with supernumeraries for Plymouth, whence she will return
to her station at Jersey. The Commander and crew of the
Sylvia received a severe reprimand from Captain Rowley, the
flag captain, by order of the Commander-in-Chief for their
presumed connivance in the attempted smuggling of some
tobacco last week, and for which two of the crew, named
Rook and Payne were arraigned before the borough magis-
trates of Portsmouth yesterday, but escaped punishment in
consequence of the disreputable evidence given by a Coast-
guard commissioned boatman, named Toby, who admitted
having given one of the prisoners brandy whilst in his cus-
tody, and then swore he made a confession of the smuggling.
The following men of war were thus distributed in China
on the 25th of February :—At Kong-Kong, the Agincourt,
72, Captain H. W. Bruce, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas
Cockrane. Commander-in-Chief; Castor, 36, Captain C. Gra-

Minden, 20, hospital-ship, Captain M. Quin; and Alligator
troop. ship, 26, Master Commander J. N. King; the Driver
steam-sloop, Commander C. 0. Hayes. At Wharnpoa, the
Childers, 16, Commander G. G. Wellesley, taking in specie
for England. At Chusan, the Cambrian, 36, Commodore
Henry D. Chads ; Plover, surveying-ship, Captain R. Col-
linson Young Hebe, surveying. ship, Lieutenant Commander
T. Bate. At Ningt,o, the Pelican, 16, Commander P. Jus-
tice. At Shanghai, the Wolf, 18, Commander A. Vyner.
At Amoy, the Serpent, 16, Commander W. Nevill ; Wol-
verine, 16, Commander 11. G. Morris ; and the Vixen steam-
vessel, Commander G. Giffard.
The Queen, 110, Captain Sir C. Sullivan, is daily looked
for at Spithead. She left Gibraltar on thesth inst.
The Pantaloon, 10, is being rapidly proceeded with for
re-commission, to compete with the new class 12-gun brig
squadron ; as also the Waterwitch, now building by Mr.
White, of Cowes, which is reported ready for launching on
Saturday next, when she will be sent here to be rigged.
The Sydenham steam- frigate, Lieutenant-Commander R.
D. B. Mapleton, passed through Spithead, on her way to
her destination, this evening.
The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander John Hay, went
without the harbour this afternoon to try her engines, after
having had their defects made good; she is rapidly compietp

THEI RETENTIVE MEMORY OF lIIS MAJESTY TIIE
Ememt OR OF RUSSIA.—When the present Rear-Admiral
Thomas: Brown was Captain of the Talavera, 74, in
1826, he bad the honour of taking to St. Peters-
burgh lAs Grace the Duke of Northumberland on a spe
cial min sion. On this occasion Captain Brown was presented
to the lc_.'mperor, who did him the honour to converse with
him on several occasions, particularly inquiring in what part
of Engfand he, Captain Brown, resided, and desired that
when he, I the Emperor, visited England, Captain Brown
would not'-fail m paying his respects to him. On his Ma-
jesty's recent visit to our gracious Queen he did not forget his
old acquaintance, and the consequence was, that on Friday
Admiral Ii rown was honoured by a. Queen's messenger
being sent to his residence at Southsea, desiring his presence
at dinner tthat day at Windsor. The Admiral proceeded im-
mediately- to town, but did not reach Windsor in time for
dinner ; 1 autvever, he had the honour of joining the illus•
trious 'ch., in the evening, of receiving a gracious recep-
tion from her Majesty the Queen, and a cordial recognition
from his 11 fajesty the Emperor of Russia.

LAUNCIL OF THE IRON Sun. QUEEN.—On Wed-
nesday, a fie .e iron vessel, built by Messrs. Thomas Wilson
and Co., No; th-shore, was launched from their building-
yard, amidst a large concourse of spectators. She is for
James H artl y, Esq., London, and is intended for the London
and Exeter line, for which she appears to be admirably
adapted.. She is 140 feet in length, 22 feet in breadth (or beam ),
13i feet ir.:depth of hold, and admeasures about 330 tons. Her
model wa o'rnuch admired by the nautical gentlemen present.
We, have seen no iron vessel, of whatever size, more strongly
built—hi ~r t: ainnest plates being half-inch thick ; and, though
very sharp; at the extremities, such are her bearings that
she is suite, I for a light draft of water. We need scarcely
add, that h i fidelity of workmanship she is excellpd by no
iron vessel yet turned out. A handsome figure-head of her
Majesty or aaments the bow, with carved work on each side,
and on tli e stern to correspond, representing sea-nymphs,
tritons, marine trophies, &c., boldly thrown out in relief.
A numb er of ladies and gentlemen were accommodated
dace, on
a scaffol, at the bow. At about a quarter to one o'll
being it i readiness, the word was givin, the "daggers"
were kr iocked down, and she almost immediately glided
sublime' v and steadily into her destines eel ent, amid
dse
t
the ent lEusiastic cheers and good wishes d multitu
on each side. The ceremony of christening was gracefully
perform rid by Miss Wilson Green. She floated very lightly,
and me! .ented a very rakish appearance. She will, we learn
be fitteil with engines of 140 horse-power, on the most ap-
proved principle, and we have no doubt will turn out a re-
markably swift vessel. We may add, that the Duke of Lan-
caster, the splendid wooden ship (to which we alluded last
week) , also built by Mr. Wilson, will be launched next

ANOTHER PEEP AT PEEL'S
FRANKENSTEIN. ,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—The monster whiCh Peel has constructed in the'
churchyards of Error, from mouldering absurdifies and defunct
blunders, presents a subject foetilraest idterminable obserya-
But I purpoPely`abstain, from commenting on some
of:its:parts, sincewith his surpassing talent for self-contra-'
diction—the Premier has, in' one or two, provided !means, if
skilfully, used, for destroying everyotlier,part of his structure.
In this communication, therefore, I shall confine mYself to
directing the attention of your readers, to the two main ob-
jects of Sir Robert's suicidal plan for destroying the com-
merce of the empire, and with it (poor compensation 1) his
own administration.
The first object of this admirer of free trade principles in
the abstract—(an admiration like that of the gourmand for
a loVely to give a monopoly of the paper ciicu- -
ciliation to the Bank- of England ; the second, to banish
paper and substitute gold, to the utmost extent to which, by
lunatic legislation, it can be effected.
Let us consider the effect of these measures—
First,—As to the Bank of England monopoly. At present
that institution has a number of break Waters, or, to change
the metaphor, outworks, in the private and joint-stock banks
of issue—notwithstanding the perverse and suicidal ingenuity
(borrowed, doubtless, from the matchless Premier)—with
which the Directors have been labouring to destroy them, by,
getting the conductors of several banks to give up their
issue, and take Threadneedle-street paper.' In spite of their.
efforts, however, there remain a great number of banks issu •
jog their own notes. -
Upon the occurrence of a panic, or .drain of specie, these
outworks are first attacked—the run upon them warns the'
Directors of the Bank of Englind to prepare for an attack
on their citadel. They get time for preparation;' and, more-
over, all the energies of the conductors of these banks are
employed in collecting 'gold frOm the country at large, to
meet the paper pouring in upon them. • -
Let our prince of blunderers succeed in his object of sup-
prespion of all paper but that issued in Threadneedle-street,
and the attack is transferred at once to the doors of the Bank
of England; and instead of having time to provide for a part
of the paper circulation, the Directors are required instantly to
provide for the whole. Oh, delightful results of the favour of
an intelligent Minister. Truly; Sir Bruin, you will have
killed the fly on
:your sleeping friend's nose, but I fear the
nose aforesaid will never recover its original formation.
Now, for the second object, the substitution of gold for

paper.
The first slight objection is, the cost of this desiderated
engine of transfer—twenty millions of gold must be paid
for in goods of that value—twenty millions of paper may,
possibly cost ten thousand pounds—difference against
" Johnny," 19,990,000/.l—a trifle, certainly, for the said un-
lucky gentleman to disburse in these prosperous times.
As the circulating medium is merely the machinery of
transfer; I suppose that our illustrious " Chief Blunderer of
her Gracious Majesty, Victoria the First," will advise our
millowners to exchange the wooden, iron, and brass wheels of
their factories, for gold ones—the principle is precisely the
same.
But the cost of a metallic currency is not the only point to
be considered.
At present, if a sudden demand arises for gold, (as for
example, from extensive importation of corn,) no disturb-
ance in our circulation need arise—we have only to issue as
much paper as will fill up the gap occasioned by the exporta-
tion of gold.
But make our circulation altogether metallic, (Peel's
object), and there is no possible means of filling up the void.
Oh ! sublime blunderer ! who shall sneak thy surpassing
merits ! To the Standards and Heralds it was given only
to vituperate commerce ; to thee it is (for our iniquities) given
to destroy it. History has recorded the deeds of one Attila,
" the scourge of God"—it has pleased the Supreme to produce
and place in power, a second. COMMON SENSE.

Monday the Government inspector, GeneraL,Pasley," Mr.

Arrived safely at Didcot in about '26 minutes. 'rte
exceedingly smooth,: and:the riding pleasant and comfortable.,
being a further configination of the superiority of the brawl
gauge Over the narrow one used in the north of England.
The:line of rail. between Oxford and the Abingdon-road sta-
tion, a distance of seven- miles, commands a view of country
one of the most beautiful that can be imagined. Passing
ilinek,,ieyi it crosses the road to Abingdon about mile from
Oxford,-under a brick bridge; . it passes on a short distance
froni the Isis, through Kennington, by Sandford, to nine-
hani, the seat of the Archbishop of York, where, it Crosses
the 'water, and shortly. arrives 'at the 'Abingdon station, a
pretty building Of liriek and stone, situated about three miles
from Abingdon. Another Mile and we are at Appleford sta-
tion, a temporary shed. After passing under another brick -
bridge, then two miles of uninteresting country, and we are
at Didcot, a village of
,a most-we were going to say-rue-
ful, but we suppose it will be better to say rural aspect ;
frighted out Of its-`propriety by the 'notoriety it has lately
assumed in being the place of junction with a branch line to
the Great Western.. :If any one is desirous of seeing a vil-
lage. in its natural rudeness, of which they 'may have some-
times heard, we would. adviie them to run down as-far as
Dideot, before it is transformed by the civilisation now daily •
passing through it. Its clutrai (we speak of the exterior),
has the appearance of , a barn, whitewashed on the grand oc-
casion of opening a new line of railivay, with a small Wooden
hayloft at the top, meant, we, suppose, to supply the place
of a tower. The entrance is ared brick portico, contrasting
well with the whitewash ,of the main building. Should the
reader defer his visit till winter we are told he must inquire
for Mudcot instead•of Didcot.
The temporary wooden station, erected or being erected,
is, we imagine, from its scantiness, intended to last only a
few days. From Didcot to Paddington is 53 miles, making
a total of 63 miles between Oxford and London. The fares
are-Ist class, 15s. ; 2d class, 10s.; 3d class (only once a
day), 6s. There will be nine trains a-day, besides the lug-
gage, or 3d class train. These

Oxford during the day, besides the luggage train ; -the first
at 750 a.m., the last at 220 a.m. AYe have heard some
complaint that there is not any train from Oxford to meet
the one leaving London at 6 a.m. for the West of England,
as it prevents passengers arriving from Oxford in time to
cross by the steamers the same day. into Wales. We had
almost forgotten to mention that the station at Oxford is
entirely a wooden one. It is situated in the first field on
the right hand side of the road after passing overt' Folly-.
bridge, and commands a good view of Oxford.

GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.—The rail-
way communication between London and Edinburgh is ra-
pidly approaching corripletion. To-morrow the line of
railway already formed will be extended from Darlington to ..
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and on that day the Chairman of the
London and Birmingham Railway (Mr. Carr Glyn), and a •
party of his friends, will dine with Mr. Hudson, the Chair-
man of the Midland, fork and North Midland, and New-
castle and Darlington Railways, and a party of his friends,
at the Assembly-rooms; in Newcastle. The entire distance
between London and Newcastle, upwards of 300 miles, will
be accomplished, it is calculated, in twelve hours, including
all stoppages. From Newcastle to Berwick-upon-TWeedi a
distance of 60 miles, a line of railway has been projected, ands
surveys made by. the east coast, and thence to Edinburgh,
little more than 50 miles, a line is already in course of forma- • ,
tion. On leaving the station at Euston-square, the traveller
passes 83 miles along the London and Birmingham Railway
to Rugby, thence 49* miles along the Midland Counties
Railway to Derby, thence 63* miles along the North Mid- ..
land Railway to Normanton, thence 23 miles along the.
York and North Midland Railway to the Cathedral City of
York, thence 45 miles along the Great North of England ..
Railway to Darlington, thence 27* miles along the Newcastle,
Darlington, and Durham Junction Railway to Workington,
thence 5* miles along the Pontop and South Shields Railway
(formerly the Stanhope and Tyne) to Brockley Whins, where .
the line diverges .to Sunderland and Shields, and thence 03i -
miles along the Brandling Junction Railway to Newcastle,
or rather to Gateshead, 'on the south bank of the river Tyne,
where a magnificent station is being erected. Such is the
route from London to Newcastle, that will be available to the
public by railway on and after Tuesday next •-A more direct
line to York from London has been projected through the
Eastern Counties by way of Bedford, Huntingdon, and Lin-
coln, which will shorten the distance by about 30 miles, and
pass over the most extensive plane in England, uniting the
valhes of the Trent and Ouse, by direct railway communica-
tion with the metropolis. •
ACCIDENT TO MR. PEER, THE SOUTHAMPTON
COACIINIAN.—On Friday an accident of a dangerous nature .
happened to the above well-known coachman, on entering
London. It appears he was driving his coach past Apsley
House, about six o'clock, at a gentle rate, when two mum-
buses, which were racing against each other, endeavoured to
pass 'him, the wheels of one of them came in contact with
the off fore wheel of his coach, the force of which precipi-

kerb stone, and was picked up quite insensible, and bleeding
profusely from the mouth and ears. He was instantly carried
to St. George's Hospital, when it was ascertained he had -
received a severe concussion of the brain, and had broken his -
collar bone and two of his ribs. He now lies in a very dan-
gerous state, and little hopes are entertained of his recovery.
Mr. Peer is about fifty years of age, and has been many years
on the road. .
NARROW ESCAPE.—On Tuesday last, as Mr. Par-
ratt, of Church-street, Westminster, was about getting on
bdard the steamer Jasmine, at London-bridge, he unfortu-
nately fell into the Thames, and immediately disappeared -
he, however, instantly rose up again, and held up his hands, •
when Mr. P. Badger, barrister-at-law, of Cambridge-street,
Hyde-park, who was standing by, at great risk, of being
pilled in, immediately went on his knees and held out his
stick, which Mr. Parrett caught hold of and held till other
assistance was obtained, when he was rescued from his
perilous situation, to the great gratification of all present.

GLEANINGS OF GREATNESS
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
SIR,—We have been hitherto engaged only. with the grand
and majestic, in considering the vast imaginings of Attila's
rival.
Let us give our jaded minds a little repose, by suffering our
eyes to rest on the minor beauties of his work. In all we
shall find the traces of his powerful mind ; and, as the mighty
soul of a Nero could turn from the contemplation of a burning
metro Polis to the enjoyment of the agonies of an animal, so
we shall find the pre-eminent destructiveness of our matchless
Premier as decidedly marked in the details, as in the grand
principles of a measure, to which history can present no
parallel. Let us consider his rule, that no banker is to have
out, ih any one week, more than the average of his circulation
for the last two years.
The fact is, of course, unknown to the all-meddler, but ex-
tremely well known to thousands of others, that the circula-
tion of a bank, especially in an agricultural district, instead
of being always nearly the same, is incessantly fluctuating,
and the manager of such a bank can foretel when the channel
of his river will be overflowed, when it will be scarcely half
filled. .
Let us suppose that, at one period of the year, the farmers
connected with a particular bank are obliged to lean heavily
on it; that at another (when their returns come in), they
can reduce their debt—that each period may be roundly
taken at half a year, and that the circulation of such bank,
reaching to 200,0001. in the earlier, sinks to 100,0001. in the
later period.
It is clear that the average of the year will be 150,0001.,
and this amount the banker may keep out all the year round.
Alas ! during 26 weeks the permission is valueless, since he
wants no more than 100,000/. ; and during the remaining
26 the restriction cramps his powers to the extent of 33 per
cent., he having the power to keep out 150,000/. only, and
recintring just a third more !
Now for branches. On the present system each branch
keeps not only its average issue, but avoids margin beyond,
since its average is always liable to be exceeded.
On Peel's Procrustes system no branch can hold more than its
average, because, by possibility, branches A, B, and C, might
otherwise issue more; and D, E, F, just as much as their
average ; and thus a total excess be produced, subjecting the
head bank to heavy penalties.
Now every one (but Sir R. Peel) knows that an average
consists of the total of a series of excess and deficieney ; if the
average circulation of a branch, for example, is 10,0001., this
average will consist of issues rising, perhaps, to 18,0001., fall-
ing to 2,000/, and by Sir Robert Ruin-all's system the profit
