bygone times. The dissensions of Whigs and Tories
have prevented either from benefiting the people,
while all who have had the opportunity have bene-
fited themselves. It was evident that all this
could not continue long; a change has been
for some time gradually progressing, and
now the climax is at hand. Last session we
saw, not the fusion of parties for their common
benefit, but the co-operation of opponents for the in-
terest of the country. The close of the year brings
a new Ministry, whose advent is regarded with
anxiety and with hope.
If the Tories could preach conciliation to Ireland,
and mitigate taxes, and set an example of toleration,
what shall we not expect from the Liberal party,
who are to succeed them in office ? These conside-
rations increase the general excitement, and the
anxiety to learn the names of the new Ministers.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."

Mr. COBDEN remarked eta recent free-trade meet-
ing, that Sir R. PEEL had missed the flood•tide that
would have led him on to fortune—that he had lost
the golden opportunky_by neglecting to repeal the
corn-laws while there was yet time. It is now evi-
dent that Sir R. PEEL was not to blame. Like an
experienced pilot, he bided his time, and was prepared
to seize his advantage, but found himself unable to
manage his vessel ; it would no longer answer the
helm, Sir ROBERT was defeated and resigned, because
he was unable to repeal the corn •laws I Truly his
brightest moments were his last I The same
opportunity is now offered to Lord Joan
RUSSELL ; the flood-tide is ready to bear
him on to fortune, if he seize the flood-
tide. The old days of party restrictions are gone
by ; it is not enough to send alone for those who
once formed a Cabinet of Whigs. If Lord Joins
would indeed be Minister, and a Minister worthy of
the age, he must act in accordance with the desires
of the people, and act in a free and impartial
spirit. On this principle he must choose his col-
leagues. 1841 beheld the downfal of the Whigs ;
1845 saw the destruction of the Tories; may 1846
witness a Ministry, call itself by what name it will,
free from the trammels of party prejudice, and de-
termined to follow a bold, vigorous, and liberal
policy. Called to rule over all, may it act not for a
class but for the nation. If last session Lord JOHN
supported his opponents in legislating for the good of
Ireland, will he net this year go further and ad-
minister entire justice to the sister country. She de-
mands no more. One of the first measures of the
new Government must be to repeal the corn-laws, to
unloose the bonds of industry, and give full scope to
free trade next session. One of the Tory papers ob-
serves, " the work of ruin will commence." It will
be glorious ruin in truth, the destruction of monopoly
and class legislation.

A special meeting of the Essex Agricultural Pro-
tection Society was held on Friday at Chelmsford, in
a room at the Saracen's Head Hotel. As might have
been expected, the speakers vied with each other in
their denunciations of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir
JOHN TYRRELL announced that the future leaders of
the monopolists would be the Duke of WELLINGTON,
Lord STANLEY, Lord WHARNCLIEFE, Lord GR AN.•
VILLB SOMERSET, and Mr. S. HERBERT. Resolutions
pledging the meeting to maintain the present system
of protection, and placing a sum of 2,0001. at the dis-
posal of the committee were agreed to, and after
giving three groans for Sir R. PEEL the meeting sepa-
rated. We rejoice rather than otherwise at seeing
the Protection Societies coming out in this way ; these
meetings act as drains to " the great agri-
cultural mind,"• enabling it to get rid of a vast
quantity of its "nonsense ;" and immense was
the quantity of "nonsense" drained off at Chelms-
ford yesterday. For instance, a Mr COPLAND,
in moving the first resolution, made use of
the following expressions--" What did the manu-
facturers say ? That free trade would reduce corn
to such a price that the English producer would not
be able to grow it." Now, pray you, good Mr.
COPLAND, in what year of our LORD did all
this' happen P When and where did any
manufacturer (meaning thereby, as you evidently
mean a free-trader),: when and where did any ad-
vocate for free trade say that free trade would reduce
corn to such a price that the English producer would
not be able to grow it? Again, the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS,
quoting from Mr. CAYLEY, said, thzt "So far from
the lauded proprietors being the originators of the
corn-laws for the support of their rents, those laws
had been originated by the opponents of the
agricultural interest that more than 600
years ago the first corn-law was established to
prevent farmers exporting to the Continent, where
they could obtain a higher price for their pro-
duce than at home. That law continued in force
for nearly 350 years. The next law was made to
prevent farmers exporting wool, and that was for
the benefit of the manufacturers at home. Some
time afterwards the population having considerably
increased, and the cultivation of the land having gone
on, there was a greater demand for wheat in Eng-
land than on the Continent, and a great quantity of
it began to pour into the country, to the injury of
the agriculturists, and they in consequence requested
protection from its influx, for the purpose of giving
them compensation for the loss they sustained in not
being allowed to export wool." Now, we should be
glad to know who, 800 years ago, were the
opponents of the " anded proprietors," who esta-
blished the first corn law according to Mr.
SMITHERS, and how they came to be able to
make these laws, seeing that 800 years ago
the landed aristocracy monopolised all the power
of the country. We are obliged, however, to
Mr. SMITHERS for the imformation that the
protection against the influx of foreign corn was
accorded to the agriculturists for the purpose
of giving them compensation for the loss they sus-
tained in not being allowed to export wool, because,
as they now possess the right to export wool, it is but
fair that they should give up the compensation. The Rev.
Gentleman, in the course of his speech, repeated the fal-
lacy—that the corn-laws were beneficial to the la-
bourer by keeping up his wages; and in the same breath
gave as one of the grounds entitling the farmer
to protection that he had to contend, if he could,
in the labour market with the railroad contractor,
who gave as wages 15s. a-week. We have it, there-
fore, on the authority of the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS, that
in the county of Essex the labourer cannot earn 15s.
a-week as an agricultural labourer, because the pro-
tected farmer cannot afford to give such high
wages which the unprotected railway contractor
can and does. What then becomes of the theory of
protection raising wages ? We hope that these Protec-
tion Societies will hold public meetings in every
county in England. The speakers at them cannot
open their mouths without making some admissions
fatal to the cause of monopoly. They are the
most useful allies the League has ever had, and were
the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS and his coadjutors paid anti-
corn-law lecturers, they could not do the League
work more effectually.

Madrid journals of the sth have been received, bu
we find nothing in them of any interest to the Eng.
lish reader.

what lower on the sth, closing at 36k, at 60 days;

The Paris /papers are chiefly occupied with the
dismissal of M. BAUDON, the Receiver-General of
the Seine-Inferieure, and a royal ordonnance for re-
modelling the Council of the University. M. BAU-
DON is President of the company formed to offer for
the Paris and Lyons Railway, and has been dismissed
from his lucrative situation, according to report, for
having amalgamated with other companies, in place of
making a separate tender, as became a servant of the
Crown, and thereby creating a fair competition for
the benefit of the State. The Opposition journals
blame the Government for what they consider am act
of great severity, while it cannot be denied that by this
wholesale fusion, patronised by the Receiver-General,
the expense of the work will be greatly increased.

M. ilumANsr, Receiver-General of the Bas Rhin,
succeeds him. The object of the ordonnance for the
re-organization of the University is to place the
system of education more immediately under the
influence of the Government, and prevent such
crotchety men as M. QUINET from quarrelling with
the Minister of Public Instruction. The royal de-
cree orders—" That the Council of the Uni-
versity shall resume its constitution, as established by
the organic decree of March 17, 1808 ; that it shall
take the title of Royal Council of the University
that the Vice-President of the said Council shall unite
to that title that of Chancellor of the University; the
Councillor whoexercises provisionally the functions of
the secretary of the Council shall assume definitively the
title of Secretary-General of the Royal Council of the
University ; the Inspectors-General of Studies shall
resume the title of Inspector's General of the Univer-
sity; the branch of primary instruction shall be
directly represented in the Royal Council of the
University." Baron THENARD, Peer of France, and
Vice-President of the Council of the University, has
been appointed Chancellor.

The Journal des Debate contains an article on the
reform made in the English Tariff by Sir ROBERT
PEEL, and expresses a hope that the French Ministry
will imitate the good example. This probably is a
feeler put forth by. the Government for a discussion
of the question in the ensuing session, with a view to
abate the evils of prohibitive duties in France. The
Government journal thus concludes its remarks on the
subject :-
1. Far be it from us to caul for so general a reform of
our tariffs, and to pretend to apply at once such a prin-
ciple of absolute freedom to analogous articles amongst
us. The interests of our agriculture and of our home
market are justly too predominant, and are entitled to
too much consideration, to allow such a measure to be
precipitately introduced. It would be still more rash to
extend it to tropical produce, such as sugar, coffee, and
tobacco, articles essentially taxable from their very nature,
and which afford to the Treasury most precious resources.
Here the question of political economy is mixed up with
that of financial interest, and the first law of the for-
mer is never to deprive the State of a branch of revenue be-
fore it has provided for its replacement from the other re-
sources at its disposal. But if those articles, the con-
sumption of which throw the duty on the wealthier
classes only, are not to be thought of, it is easy to compre-
hend that it is indispensable for the future prospects of our
manufactures that the raw material should as rapidly as
possible reach the hand of the fabricator at a cheap rate,
that is, exempt of all charge. This truth, exceedingly
simple in appearance, and yet which has been only prac-
tised of late, ought to enter into the spirit of our tariffs.
That would be, besides, to remain faithful to our pre-
vious acts—to be consistent, for if the present state of
our customs' regulations be compared with what they
were twenty years back, it will he seen that great im-
provement has been made in alleviating the tariffs.
Much, however, still remains to be effected."
The King came to Paris on Wednesday, and held a
Council of Ministers, at which he presided.
The session of the States of Bavaria was opened on
the 6th with a speech from the throne, in which the
King expressed his great satisfaction at the calm and
prudent conduct of his subjects in a time of excitement
and agitation, and declared his warm attachment to
them, and his confidence that the relations between the
throne and the nation would be indissoluble.

The Bank of England appears to be exercising a good
deal of caution since the political crisis came on, especially as
its stock of bullion is trenched upon in the country for rail-
way purposes; —a wholesome bleeding which we, for one, do
not regard with any anxiety. The principal items in the
