the celebrated picture of David—Mars desarme—holds the hel-
met and sword of that Cod ; his Lordship has given up his sword
to his servant; Patrick, Who asks him bow many Turks he has
killed with it,.'or blown up. Lord Cochrane answers, that being

The New Series of Olfara Tales, Consists, of two
Stories ; one called the Nowlans, the other, Peter Of the Castle—
both are leas marked with political features than the First, Series.
The Nowlans exhibits the struggles and auff4ings, before anti after
a breach of his ordination vows, of a young Roman Catholic
priest, and the miseries of a sister, partly resulting from his fall,
partly on account of her being abandoned after a Marriage nit
recognized by existing' law. Peter of the Castle details a peculiar
case of the moral influence, in Ireland, of a religions ordinance, and
is also drawn from the workings of human passion, and illustrated
by local scenes, habits, and real characters. •

A sENSIBLE DEcistoN.-The Chief Justice of
Upper Canada decided, in a recent trial, that " a man has a right
to chastise his wife moderately, however ungallant such conduct
may he considered."

CANNIBALISM.—Under this heading, in our last,
we detailed some disgusting eiremnstanees attending an exhibi-
tion in our fair, which has restored to comfort end liberty two
poor orphan children, said to be savages. •On Friday se'nniglit,
fear having ceased to operate on their minds., they disclosed in
plain English, to their present humane protectors (the parish offi-
cers of St. Andrew's) the facts attending their horrible captivity,
barbarous treatment, and beastly sustenance. The fellow Sanger,
and his precious better-half (herself mother of four children) pur-
Chased them about Christmas last, of " a real *amyl," (if we
may use such a fair-gulling phrase) who claimed to be their
aunt, iind who then resided, it is said, at Nottingham. This
reckless creature only demanded one guinea each, and subsequently
parted with them for twenty-five shillings. Our blood curdles
at the thought, while cur hand almost refuses to record a
deed so blackening of the fume which ever ought to distin-
guish a Christian country. • But we must restune our narrative.
The poor children are bother and sister, and lost both father
and mother when infanta. They • were consigned to the brute
in question, and by her to the no less' brutal usage of Sanger,
who has malady exhibited them as savagea, feeding them of
' carrion for the amusement of a British public, and the enriching

of his 'pocket. The beatings bestowed by this tuna and his

little captives. That coercion was used, their limbo, particularly

EARL STVP,.IIIOPE -41 V :. ' Rii_TAIITS.

Mr. RIDGWAY has just putlished a Letter from Earl
Stanhope, on the Corn Laws, by a perusal of which it
will be seen that his Lordship is decidedly against any
alteration in the Corn Laws which, may affect the interests
of the Landholders. We have merely room to give the
folloWing extract from the Pamphlet, which will give a
tolerable idea of his Lordship's sentiments upon a question
which must occupy the serious attention of Parliament,
but upon which the public mind is. pretty generally made
up as to the absolute necessity of some modification, at
least,. in the Corn Laws, if not a free trade in corn :
. Although it is certain and undeniable, that the home market is
the most valuable, and the most important, and that any meaanre
which destroys the prosperity of the agricultural claws Ulyst de-
prive the manufacturers of their best customers, some of the ma-
nufacturers are so blind to their own interests, or have Imia so
much blinded by "issliticinl economy," that they are i.litraorous
for a free trade in corn, They see in that measure only the rigfecr
that 'it would product, upon the wages of Labour, which do not,
however, depend solely upon the prices of provisions, hot are also
affected by the proportion that exists between the Sapply and the
Demand for labour. This consideration appears to be entirely
forgotten by them, although its truth has been established, nut
only by theory, but by, the unerring test of experience, in a
great number of instances, and, therefore, cannot admit of doubt.
—lt. is said that corn is a necessary of lite, and ought, con-
sequently, to be purchased where it can be procured at the
cheapest Price. If it were proposed to apply this doctrine to all
other, articles which are necessaries or comforts of life, gud which,
a* is well known, are much cheaper on the continent. than in this
country, we should not hear inch an outcry against the Corn
Laws ; and the pretended patriotism of modern innovators 'Would
not prevent them from deeltiiming against a doctrine of which the
application would prove Most dangerous, nay utterly destructive to
the manufacturers and to the artisans, as well as to the lauded
interest. The doctrine, if it were correct with respect to Corn,
would, hoWever, be equally correct in all its applications, and ill
would not only be just, but indispensably requisite, that it should
be generally applied.

There are, indeed, some persons, who, as they are not thorn-
selvee owners or occupiers of Laud, loudly exclaim that the Agri-
cultural interest " ought to make sacrifices for the " general benefit
of the country." Why should the agricultural interest be expected
to do so more than the Fuodholders who receive their dividends,
or the clergy who receive their tithes, or any other chow of the
connouuity, which enjoy a the income arisiug from 4 property, in-
tim fruits of its industry and exertions ?' it is from the agricul-
tural interest, than from any other in the country, that any sacri-
fice whatever ran be reasonably eXpeeted Or required, as it already
bears exclusively, but most unjustly, the enormous, and; in some
cases, almost intolerable bt-then of the Poor'it Hates, (amounting,
as they do, to a greater aunt than the whole revenue of the Prus-
sian monarchy), and also of the tithes, and of a great variety of
other local charges, which do not iu the least affect any other class of
the community. The amount of those charges has been shown by
the Earl of Lauderdale to befs7 per cent. on the rent. I contend also,
that the owners and occupiers of hind have an undoubted right to
the full, secure, and unmolested enjoyment of their property, of
which they could not be deprived without the most flagrant and
atrocious injustice ; by a measure which would exact tint greatest
sacrifice exclusively from them, and not from the other classes of
the population, even if such a sacrifice were beneficial to the rest
of the community. I contend, however, and tun ready to. prove,
that the sacrifice would bring ruin upon all classes; and the truth
cannot be too frequently repeated, or too forcibly urged, that nu
class of society can benefit by the adversity of another, and that no
Government has, or'cim have, the right of plundering, one portion
of the community for the profit of auother.
