F.A.SLTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Macmichael, Mr., Mae-
grigor, and Mr. Simpson, visited the Duke of York
yesterday, at the residence of the Duke of Rutland,
in Arlington-street. The Royal Duke took his daily
airing yesterday afternoon, Sir Herbert Taylor trans-
acted . military business with his Royal Highness in
the morning.
The Right Hon. Sir Charles Stuart arrived in town
on Tuesday, from Lisbon, at which city Sir Charles
had stopped on his return from his Embassy to the
Emperor of the Brazils. Sir Charles transacted busi-
ness yesterday, at the Office of the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.
Prince Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, trans-
acted business yesterday at the Foreign Office.
The Earl of Westmorland prrived in town yester.
day afternoon from the Isle of Wight.

It is a curious fact, that out of the thirty-six barons
who signed Magna Charts, only three could write
their own name, the signatures of the remainder. (if
the term may be used) being only ($.4 ) their marks,
It is now said that the discharge of Mr. Arch&ll
on his own recognizance has been by mistake, and
owing to the misunderstanding or mis-copying of the
order of the Lord Chief Justice.

During a trial which took place lately in the coun-
try, a respectable, though not very ostentatious looking
gentleman, occupied the witness-box, devotedly await-
ing a cross-examination. " Pray, Mr. Ottiwell Wood,"
said the opposing Counsel, ‘, how do you spell your
name ?"a Oh ! Sir," replied Mr. Wood, 4, very
easily ; a lesson in it is very much at your ser‘iee.'
" Come, Sir, don't be impertinent : let his Lordship
hear it." The witness proceeded thus trippingly :
,4 0 double t, i double u, e double 1; double u, dou-
ble o, d!" The barrister looked confounded, the
Court and Jury laughed, and Mr. Ottiwell Wood%.
evidence was suffered to pass unshakeable.

their looms and steam-engines, but for this " con-
founded glut." It is the " glut" that paralyzed the
homeimarket of England, and stored, at the sanie
time, the export of her cottons. ea, and the same
glut which now, in its re-action, doubles or quadru-
pies the demand for raw cotton from this country to

ture, which they have begun for two or three years
past, to find, manufactured. at their own doors with
English machines, put in motion by English preeep-
.toni., It has been Said .4 a London 'contemporary,
that the glnt of, raw cotton in England, and its conse-
quent :reduction of price, have induced the French
merchant to purchase, now that the cost is low,, a por-
tion of that article of which, when it. was high, and
wiaile this country was buying en; speculation an un-
due share of it, he, had suffered .his stock in hand to
run :oils. This theory not borne out, as we can
learn, by any attainable' evidence. if the dispropor-
tioned acctiroulation of raw cotton :in England. had
Iftwered pitetaniv the price of the here, it
WOuld be nittairalior the French merchant to replenish
his stock from Britiaii warehouses. Flow happens it
then, that by the most recent accounts from Havre,
announcing a deify increase of imported cotton for
the supply of the mantifactories established near
Rouen-7-it is nut' England, but North America,
-whence thOse cargoes. have been drawn, exceeding in
the course oflast week 7,000 bags in. quantity ?.. It is
admitted, indeed, that " the manufactures of other
countries have been advancing, and. are likely'to ad-
Yance,":which is really the whole psiint at issue. We
have contended; that from fixed and inherent causes,
the manufaCtures of other countries have increased, at
the .expenert and to the detriment of those of England
—and thai'thb process, 'Unfavourable, to our country,
is more likely, to tie accelerated , than 'obstrticted. If
we had asserted tc a recent and sudden start" in the
eetablialmieuts of other !nanufacturing nations, . we
should still have had grounds i'rt which 'to justify such
a statement ; inasmuch as the iocation of paper-
money;' and the inordinate spirit of adventiaro an 4 spe-
culation ayhieli it eacourageci, had spread the preuce
of the English: loom over the world, and everywhere
lowered the-price of i.t ; thus retardiMr, so far • as the
thing could be checked, the efforts of foreign maim-
facturersito supply their owii markets. The contrac-
tion, therefore, of. ,our.paper—the discouragement of
Adventure, and the dinuniihed production which have
since taken place in thia.country, would actually go
far to account for that " recent and sudden starts in
the manufacturing_estahlisinents .of other nations,
which we are. charged with having affirmed on weak ,
and invalid:premises. We have no 'objection, we re-

ftjny, On the:. subject. Facts are stubborn
Morizing Chronicle.

We 'understand. that ,the Editor of The Gl.sgotv
Free Press had. an interview, on Tuesday, with the
Chancellor of 'the Exchequer, for the purpose of in,
quiring'whether any, and what measures, were intend-
ed to be taken by Government, to relieve the distresses
of the Manufacturing Operatives of the West of Scot-
land. Mi. Robinson, in the course of his remarks,
paid a high compliment to the excellent conduct of
the . Mannfacturing Population of Scotland, in the
midst of their privations ; of which, he said, Govern-
ment were. deeply sensible. Certain measures were in
contemplation for their relief; but it would be impro-
per and premature to mention what those measures
were, as interested speculators might take advantage of
their' Publicity. He allowed that the average nett
amount 'of the duty on Printed Goods was not more
than 400,0001.; while the amount collected was up-
wards of 1,200,000/. But he declined, for the rea-
sons already, mentioned, to state what were his inten-
tions regarding this Tax. The tenor, however, of his
observations, wit; decidedly enoouraging to the Mann-
factilring Interests.r—Morning Chronicle.

Some 'of those who profess to be better informed
than the greater part of the world, but who, in fact,
generally turn out to know less, would have us believe
that Ministers mean to be neuter on the subject of the
Corn Laws, and to leave it, as the question of the
Slave Trade formerly, to be fought out by the respec-
tive eombatants, the landed and manufacturing inte
rests, while they stand by ready to side with the vie
tors,, We cannot, for a moment, suppose that any
Government could act so puerile and imbecile a part
as that which is thus assigned them. The subject is
one of Vital importance to the whole community ; and
surely , it is, irreconcilable with the duty of those to
whom, the interests of that community are confided,"
that they should for a moment hesitate in taking the
lead hi 'whatever is proposed relative to a matter of' So
momptous ai nature. v or our own parts we are sorry
to see so Inoch excitement unnecessarily stirred up
upon a subject in which calmness is so essential to a
right conclusion ; and that by means of so large a pro-
portion of false premises and erroneous reasoning,
In fact, at least one-half the writers upon this subject
seem to have no other object but the most unwise and
inflammatory one, of doing all in their power to create
and widen a breach between these two parties in the
state, Whose interests and whose views, it rightly eon-
templatad, ere and must be the same. , It is the obvi-.
ous policy and duty of the Government to reconcile,
not to widen these differences; and therefore, when
we are told that they mean to take no part in the
question, it is tantamount to telling us, as far as it
goes, that they mean to desert their duty just at the
moment when a greater vigour, oecision, and watch-
fulness, is called for. That many of the great land-
owners have been, and are doing, every thing in their
power to injure their own cause, is most apparent.
fhe conduct of many of them as Magistrates, their
detestable Game Laws, their selfishness and unfeeling-
ness towards their tenantry and the bulk of the agricul-
tural labourers, are all proofs of their bigoted ignorance
MS to what are their trite interests. But it is the duty
of the Government, for the sake of the community, to
see them righted in spite of themselves ; the vessel of
the State must be safely navigated,,though part of the
crew TRW -
z be unfit for their stations. The question
of the Corn Laws has &ways, appeared to us to lie
in a vary narrow compass.
The grower of corn and
hay, the breeder of sheep, calves, and rased, is just as
much a merchant and manufacturer as any other per-

to enrible ii2:.!l to eotivete with the comparatively un-
taxed manufactu:M of commodities elsewhere,
surely the grower or Coro, who bears a still greater
proportion of the Borne lodens, is entitled to the
same protection in his business. Ttot,

for the very same reason, sell you our cottons or our

silks half se cheap as you might. otherwise have them,
vet we expect you to sell us, your corn as cheap as if
no public burdens existed." This, if not the reason-
ing, is the result of the reasoning used upon the occa-
sion. That it is erroneous, inconclusive, and unjust,
need not be pointed out, we should imagine, to any
man Of mbderate penetration. And is the Govern-
ment so cowardly, or are its adherents so base and
time-serving, as to have us believe that it will take no
part in a question of this nature ? that it will leave the
most important interests in the community to be the
victims of their 'own delusion, and 'of the interested
designs of inflammatory demagogues, rather than ,step
in and set at rest, by its legitimate influence, a ques-
tiyn at once of so obvious and so important a nature ?
The simple fact is, that there must be a fair protect-
the iniportation of foreign corn. What
ing duty on
the amount of that duty ought to be is the real and
the only question. That is the question which Mini-
sters' ought to be able to meet. It is to them the
country has a right to look as arbiters upon the ques-
tion ; and by the time Parliament assemble, we trust
they will be, so well prepared upon the subject as to
be able to put it stop to gall angry contention, by stat-
ing views, and principles, and facts, which will he too
plain, authentic, and 'convincing, to admit of cavil or
dispute.—Morning Herald.

The laudable efforts of Mr. Peel to improve the

tation when,the little intrigues of Cabinets are forgot-
ten. We trust he Will not be afraid of innovation,
