vice has given prominence and position in society.
And 1 may also remark on the singular harmony
which h.is prevailed amongst them. My friend, who
has been more or less with them now fur five or six
years, told me, that during the whole of I+l4 peliod
he had never kno‘s n anything approaching to a
serious difference of opinion, and from his account,
and from what I saw, they- appear to have one heart,
and a truly great heart it is, and to permit nothing
to interfere with the object before them.
.1 have been induced to ask for the insertion of this
letter in your columns, in the hope that it may meet
the eyes of the free -traders throughout the kingdom.
If in half the towns of Great Britain a committee
could be formed whose members could work zealously
in unison with the Council in Manchester, what great
things might be done! A few intelligent and active
men might meet and take tea together in an evening,
discuss their progress and prospects, organise a sys-
tem against which no wrong couldlong be maintained,
and gather round them an influence which would
speedily accomplish the deliverance of their country
from the evils which an ignorant and very selfish
policy is daily inflicting upon it. Why should not
Glasgow, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Leeds, Sheffield,
Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Plymouth, and the
metropolitan boroughs adopt this plan, whisk has
proved so successful in Manchester ? Are there not
some good, some reel men in each of these populous
places who are ready for the work which the eountry
is looking for at their hand; ? From what I have
seen in Manchester lam satisfied the foolish system
of the monopolists has nearly run its course. The
best of causes is in the hands of men who seem never
to be weary, to whom a feeling of hopelessness is un-
known, and whose disinterested labours are destined,
I feel assured, to work a great and peaceful revolution
is this country.
I hope this letter may not be too long for your
space, and be on that account rejected ; it contains
only a very meagre .sketch of the impressions left on
my mind by my visit to Manchester, but I shall take
it as a great favour if it be placed before the readers
of your widely7circulated journal.—l am, yours, Sze.,

IRELAND,

THE LATE STATE PROSECUTION.

D. numN, Nov. 24.-1 t is probable that there will
be ye 4 notiler motion in the Court of Queen's Bench
respect the late State prosecution.
A , yeefi- two since, upon the application of Sir
Coke tan o"Logh!en, as con nsel on the part of Mr.
O'Co ti. e Court made an order that Mr. Bourne,
the clerk of the Crown, should vacate the recog-
niza aces of the ti•aversers, filed in the Crown-office,
and enter a discharge upon them. It is a necessary part
of this order that the officer should endorse upon the re-
cord the fact that the judgment of the Irish Court of
Queen's Bench had been set aside by the House of
Lords. From some cause or other the clerk of the
Crew n has not, up to this time, made the requisite
end.ox cement upon the record, and it is understood
that le is determined not to make it. This seems
very strange, but nevertheless is as we have stated.
Under Wese circumstances, the agents of the late tra-
versers have no alternative but another application to
the Court, for an order to the officer, directing him
to comply' with the previous order for the vacating of
the recogn;zances and the completion of the record,
by the inset Lion of the fact that the judgment of the
Court of Que en's Bench had been quashed by the
House of Lords..

TiIE WELLINGTON STATUE AT

GLASGOW..

On Thursday night, Mr. A. Stevenson Dalglish
was entertained at public dinner, by the subscribers
to the Wellington statue, recently erected in Glas-
gow, and others, "who were desirous to testify to
that.gentleman the deep sense hich they entertain
of the valuable services he has ^rendered to the city
and the west of Scotland, by the untiring zeal,
ability, perseverance, and courtesy, which he all along
displayed as Convener of the Committee of Sub-
scribers, and which so greatly contributed to bring
the undertaking to a successful completion." The
dinner took :place in the Trades' Hall, and was at-
tended by fully three hundred gentlemen, who may
be said to have comprised the very elite of our com-
munity. The Earl of Glasgow filled the chair, sup-
ported on the right by Mr. Dalglish, the guest of
the evening, the Rev. Dr. M'Leod, Sir James Camp-
bell, Air. Lockhart, M.P., &c., &c.

Sergeant Gritton, who leaves a wife and five chil-
dren, had been at a former period stationed in this
garrison, .where, besides having raised himself to the
rank he held by his exemplary conduct and zealous
performance of duty, he was universally respected and
beloved by all who knew him, and we may imagine
what must have been the feelings of his•unhappy wife,
who, on the eve of accompanying him to Corfu, was
waiting his arrival on the quay, when the first in-
telligence which reached her was brought by the
boat which had conveyed on board of the Apollo the
inanimate body of her husband. What augments our
sympathy in this particular case is the circumstance
of her being near the period of her confinement. A
subscription has been opened here for the bereaved
family, and we sincerely hope that a generous public
at home will respond to an appeal in behalf of the
widow and fatherless children.
Although the master of the Danish galliot is to be
blamed for not having kept a better look out, the
accident is chiefly attributed to the patron of the
small boat, in having obstinately persisted to cross the
hawse of the larger vessel, which as well as his own
was close hauled on the wind. His own untimely
end has dearly paid the penalty of this act of rashness.
As independent of the body of Sergeant Gritton, ,
which was picked up shortly after the accident, yes-
terday two and to-day three of the bodies have
been found, that of the unfortunate woman, Mary
Ann Coyle, is now the only one missing, but from the
exertions that are still making it is hoped that it will
also be recovered. •
A difference of opinion having arisen between the
Coroner and the military authorities, as to which is
the competent tribunal to investigate the circum-
stances of the accident, no verdict has yet been made
public.
This melancholy event, which every day since has
caused the repetition of the mournful duty of convey-
ing to their last resting-place the remains of the un-
fortunate sufferers, accompanied with all the affecting
and imposing ceremony of military burial, has tended
to throw a gloom over the place, and speaking loudly
a solemn warning to all, impressively reminds us of
the uncertainty of human life.
• On the 12th the Swedish frigate Josephine, Capt.
C. H. Ulner, arrived here and came to an anchor,
having been 26 days on the voyage from Copenhagen.
On the day following the French brig of war Cygne,
Captain Heureux, weighed anchor, and sailed from
this to the westward. The following are the vessels
of war which are still here :
Her Majesty's sloop Scout, Captain the Hon. J. R.
Drummond; her Majesty's brig Savage, Captain
Bowker; her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, Captain
M‘Lean ; the Danish brig of war Mercurius, Captain
Christmas; the Danish war-steamer Hekla, Captain
Mourier ; the Swedish frigate Josephine, Captain C.
H. Ulner; the Swedish corvette Carlskrona, Captain
Runth ; the Swedish schooner L'Aigle, Lieutenant
Begg, commander; the Norwegian corvette Nordst-
jernen, Captain Konow.
From the above it will he seen that Sweden, Nor-
way, and Denmark have at this moment six vessels of
war in our bay, and as their presence here is con-
sidered necessary, from the pending negotiations be-
tween Morocco and these countries, their stay may be
indefinitely prolonged if they wait till a final arrange-
ment is concluded.
The tribute, or protection douceur, or whatever
other name diplomacy may give to this unreasonable
exaction of Morocco from nations with which she has
little or no intercourse, has hitherto been regularly
paid by Sweden, amounting to 20,000 dollars annually,
but since the accession to the throne of King Oscar,
the Government have come to the decided resolution
that, excepting the amount due for the last year,
which they agree to pay, not one dollar more shall
go out of the public purse for this purpose. The
amount annually paid by Denmark has been 25,000
dollars, of which two years are at present due, and,
on the same conditions as Sweden, the Government of
Denmark have some to the determination that the

POSTAL TREATY BET WEEN BEL-

GIUM AND ENGLAND.

13aussELs, Nov. 24.—The Post•office treaty be-
tween England and Belgium was signed in London
on the 19th of October. The ratifications were ex-
changed in London on the 19th of November.
The Moniteur publishes this day the treaty at
length. The following are the chief clauses :
" Art. 4. The exchange of the international corre-
spondence will take place at Dover and Ostend. The
British Post-office will continue to convey in its
packets the dispatches, four times a week, according
to the terms of the treaty of October, 1834. The
departures from Ostend to Dover will take place on
Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays;
the departures from Dover every Tuesday, Wednes-
day, } riday, and Saturday.
"Art. 4. However, the Belgian Government will
be at liberty to establish a service of packets to convey
letters, dispatches, and travellers Letween both the
ports above-mentioned twice a week, or daily ; and
the Belgian Government reserves expressly to itself
to enter into an agreement with the British Govern-
ment, in order to be freed from the obligation of
paying to that Government the annual sum of 1,0001.
sterling, which was stipulated in the treaty of
October, 1834.

After the usual' loyal 'toasts, the Noble Chairman
said—lt is with the greatest pleasure that I now rise
to propose the next toast—the health of our worthy
friend and honoured and respected guest, Mr. Dal-
glish.—(Applause, which lasted for several minutes.)
Gentlemen, though the especial purpose of our meet-
ing this evening is to express our high approbation of
the conduct of Mr. Dalglish, as the Convener of the
Committee of the Wellington Statue, and to offer him
a mark of our respect and gratitude for the great ex-
ertions he has made during its progress, and until its
completion—(Hear, hear)—though this, I say, is the
avowed object of our meeting, I think we may be fairly
permitted somewhat to exceed the prescribed limit and
take'a more general view of a character, which the more
it is examined the more it will be found worthy of our
respect and admiration. Gentlemen, as Convener of the
Committee of the Wellington Statue, Mr. Dalglish had
an arduous task imposed upon him ; and no man could
possess more eminently those qualities necessary for
bringing that task to an efficient termination. The
difficulties he had to contend with were numerous,
and at times vexatious ; but he met them firmly, tem-
perately, and with a conciliation and courtesy well
calculated to disarm opposition. lie never permitted
any adverse circumstance to discourage him in car-
rying out the object he had in view—the comple-'
tion of that statue, and its erection in the most fa-
vourable site. That has been accomplished, and
though delay has occurred, which was inevitable and
unforseen, it was, we know, the result purely of ac-
cident, and still it has been erected in a shorter time
than is usually necessary for the completion of works
of this description. I beg, therefore, to propose the
health of Mr. Dalglish, our honoured guest, and from
the feelings you have already displayed, I know you
will receive it in the manner it so well deserves. (fhe
toast was drank with the most perfect enthusiasm, the
cheering lasting several minutes.)
Mr. DALGusiz returned thanks.

" Art. 7. The packets employed by both Govern-
ments to convey dispatches between Dover and Ostend
to be received and considered in both ports as men-
of-war, and to be free from all tonnage, harbour, and
shipping duties.
" Art. 9. The above packets to be allowed to carry
passengers, with their luggage, horses, and carriages,
but they will not be permitted to take goods on
freight.
" Art. 15. Persons sending letters either from Bel-
gium to Great Britain and British possessions, or
from Great Britain and British possessions to Bel-
gium, to be at liberty to send the same without pay-
ing the postage, or to pay it in advance if they think
proper, however the postage be paid for the whole
distance.

" Art. 16. Letters charged may be sent between
the two countries, and as far as possible in transit to
every country of which both offices are intermediaries.
"Art. 19. Letters paid or unpaid to be charged
with a postage duty of a shilling for every simple
letters. this postage to be increased according to the
weight of letters on the scale established in both
countries.
" Art. 29. Newspapers sent from Great Britain to
persons living in Belgium to be delivered free of
postage to the Belgian office, and to be charged in
Belgium with a postage of five centimes (ad.).
" Belgian newspapers, directed to persons in Eng-
land, to be delivered free of postage to the British
Post-office, and to pay in England only fire centimes.
" Art. 30. The postage for periodicals, published in
Belgium or in Great Britain, to be paid in advance,
viz., in Belgium five centimes for every printed sheet
uner thirty square decimetres ; and in England one
penny for every work under two ounces, sixpence for
every work above two ounces and not exceeding
three; eightpence for every work above three ounces
and under four; and for every ounce above four and
under sixteen, twopence more.
" The present treaty to be put in execution on the
Ist of December, 1844."

Colonel MURE, of Caldwell, proposed the health of
the author of that monument to our greatest military
hero, which now occupied such a prominent place in
the centre of the city. There must be many present
who were more able to speak on this subject than
himself; but he could, at all events, claim the merit
of impartiality. It would be false delicacy to pass
over the circumstances attending the selection of the
Baron Marochetti, the distinguished artist of the
monument ; for it was well known that it had been
the subject of greattditTerence of opinion, of contro-
versy, and of much bitterness amongst the inhabitants
of this city. The Committee must have been strictly
impartial in asking him to propose this toast, for he
had not been a member of the Wellington Statue
Committee—he had not taken any part in the
controversy; although he had been in favour of
the general principle supported by those who op-
posed the Baron Marochetti's selection, on the
ground that they should prefer native artists, for na•
five works of art. But he would freely say, that
whatever difference of opinion there might have
existed, as to the propriety of the Baron's selection,
there,could be no difference of opinion as to the
practical results of that selection. He felt convinced
that there was no man of taste, or no man who was
in the habit of looking to the work; of art similar to
that in front of the Exchange, who would not coin-
cide with the opinion of the Chairman, when he
stated that it would bear comparison with the greatest
works of the kind in Europe.— (Great applause.)
He might be permitted to offer one or two criticisms
on the statue, and, in doing so, they would allow him
to remind them that there was no such thing as per-
fection in human works ; and even though, by
the dispensation of Providence, such a thing
as perfectie.n. in a work of art was at-
tained, it would just be the more difficult to bring
any person to say that it was perfect: He was
afraid that, in proportion to the completeness and ex-
cellence of a work of art, the more was it exposed to
the rigour of petty criticism; and just from the sim-
ple consideration, that where a work had two or three
obvious defects, they were palpable to every one, and
every one was gratified at being able to detect them.
But when a work was so complete that it afforded no
broad defects for the animadversions of the critics,
then they considered it their duty to find fault with
every petty portion of it. He had frequently ex-
perienced the truth of this in reference to the
statue by Marochetti. The first time he walked up
the street to survey it, he was assured there was
nothing wrong but a little about the tail; then when
he looked to the front, he was told there was some-
thing peculiar about the head. Then some other body
would say that they had no fault with the head
or the tail, but there was something not quite correct
about the quarters. For himself, he had to say that
these objections were vague ; but, as a whole, that the
statue was a most magnificent work, and this was the
highest eulogium he could offer to this splendid effort
of the artist, the Baron Marochetti Colonel Mure
then briefly traced the personal history of the noble
sculptor—concluding by stating that the Baron en-
joyed the advantage of combining much of the chaste-
ness and delicacy of the Italian school with the spirit
and vivacity of the French.
The toast was drunk with great applause.
Professor HILL, in a neat speech, proposed " The
health .of Sheriff' Alison, and the Committee of Sub-
scribers to the Wellington Testimonial."
Sheriff ALIsoN, in his own name, and in the name
of the other gentlemen associated with him in the
Committee, returned thanks for the honour which had
been done them.

FATAL EFFECTS OF ALLOWING CHILDREN TO
MEDDLE WITH ARDENT SPIRITS.—On last Friday an
occurrence illustrative of the above took place in this
city, and one which should convey a strong and im-
pressive admonition to all those who are in charge of
young persons. A woman who resides near Globe-lane,
and who had been taking care of a fine little boy, whose
parents are supposed to be dead, was tippling with a
neighbour. On going from home, with that indifference
and recklessness which ever attend intemperate habits,
she left a decanter of spirits, within reach of the child
already mentioned. He, probably, having been accus-
tomed to those "little sips which those immediately in
charge of children often administer to them with such
fatal effect, raised the vessel to his mouth, swallowed a
portion of the spirits, and immediately went out to play.
The effects were, however, soon apparent, for the poor
little fellow began to stagger about the streets, and was
going towards the river, below Parliament-bridge.
Some sailors perceiving the child's motions suspected
he was intoxicated, and went up to him ; they soon dis-
covered the truth, and also where the child lived, and
had him conveyed home immediately. The woman in
charge of him, being greatly alarmed at his appearance,
for the little fellow began to foam at the mouth, had him
taken to the South Infirmary, where medical aid was at
once obtained, but it was too late, and about an hour or
so after his admission death put a period to bis suffer-
ings.—Cork Southern Reporter.
We wish to call the attention of spinners to a sys-
tem which is now carrying en, in the north of Ireland,
calculated to injure the fair trader, and, in the end, to
rob the millowner. Certain parties, representing them•
selves extensive manufacturers, are in the habit of pur-
chasing yarns largely at the mills, paying part in cash,
and getting the remainder on credit. It has been ascer-
tained, to a certainty, that these parties afterwards sell
these yarns to manufacturers, on terms much lower than
they originally purchased them for. It is easy to under-
stand what the result will be.—Northeina Whig.
Mu. MACREADY.—The baggage and effects of this
gentleman, containing a considerable portion of the
splendid dresses worn by him in his dramatic delinea-
tions, and which he took with him in his professional
tour to the United States, have arrived in the St. Katha-
rine's Docks, by the ship Quebec, from New York, and
this eminent actor personally attended, their examina-
tion by the Customs officers on Monday afternoon, and
went through the usual forms of declaration, &c., re-
quired for their delivery as British returned private
effects, duty free. Some of the dresses are exceedingly
handsome. The majority of the company engaged by
Mr. Mitchell for the ensuing English performances in
Paris left town on Sunday morning for that capital, and
Mr. Macready intended to take his departure at the same
time hail he not been detained m order to obtain posses-
sion of his baggage. He was to leave for the French
capital on Monday by the Dover Railway, to make the nee
cessary preparations for the completion of the arrange-
ments for the performance of English plays at the Opera
Italien, which commence on Monday next.
The Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Harrowby,
Earl Talbot, Earl of Dartmouth, Earl of Bradford,
Viscount Sandon, the Hon. Colonel Howard, Sir J. and
Lady Yarde Butler, and Mr. E. Buller, M.P., have con-
tributed largely to the fund for the erection of a new
district church at Forsbrook and the adjacent village of
Blythe Marie, Staffordshire, the church accommodation
of that densely populated district in the Potteries being
sadly deficient.
HARROW SCHOOL.—The election for the Head
Mastership of Harrow School, which will be vacant at
Christmas, takes place early in December, and the testi
monials of the candidates are to be sent in on the 7th of
the month. The choice rests with the six governors of
the school, but, in the event of the numbers being even,
the Archbishop of Canterbury has the casting vote. A
subscription has been set on foot among the old Harrow
men for the purpose of rebuilding the Head Master's
boarding-house, which was destroyed by fire a few years
buck. It is proposed that the architecture of the new
boarding-house should correspond with that of the
school, chapel, and private house of the Head Master
but that " The Hall' should be rebuilt precisely as it
stood in Lord Byron's time.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning, whilst
Mr. G. Littlewood, lamp-contractor, Upper King-street,
Bloomsbury, was driving a horse in a chaise cart along
Aylesbury-street, Clerkenwell, towards the Green, the
horse, a vicious animal, suddenly took fright and dashed
forward with fearful rapidity. On descending the hill
on the west-side of the Sessions-house the horse fell and
rolled over. The sudden jerk threw the driver out of the
cart, and his head came with great force against the
kerb-stone. Constable G 102 ran to his assistance, and
found that Mr. Littlewood's skull was entirely knocked
in. He was conveyed in a state of insensibility to a sur-
geon's near the spot, who seeing his hopeless state di-
rected his removal to St. Bartholomew's, whither he was
conveyedfri in a cab, and after receiving every attention

TROTTING MATCH sou TBN POUND/ ASIDE.—
Monday the trotting race between Mr. George's grey
gelding and Mr. Chatwin's brown mare came off near
Thornton-heath, Croydon. The terms of the match
were, that the horses should be ridden a fair trot ten
miles, and the first horse in to bo the winner ; and
should either gallop to be immediately pulled in and
turned. There were a good sprinkle of " sporting
nobs" present; and money to some tune was speculated,
the mare the favourite. Two miles of road was mea-
sured over which the match was to be contested, and the
horses mounted by light weights were rode to the start-
ing place, and the signal given ; they went away at a
slashing pace, and performed one mile in three minutes
and fourteen seconds, the second mile was turned, both
being in equal position, and concluded four miles (the
mare thirty yards in advance) in fourteen minutes and
forty-five seconds ; they completed six miles in twenty-
two minutes, the mare retaining the lead of fifty yards,
and at the conclusion of eight miles the mare was forty
yards in advance, having performed that distance in
twenty-nine and a-half minutes ; they were pulled in
and greened, and in one minute remounted and resumed
the match, the mare breaking out into a gallop ; she
was quietly pulled in and compelled to retrace her steps ;
this gave the gelding an opprtunity of making a good
lead, which his jockey readily availed himself of, and
succeeded in coming in the winner by 150 yards. The
ten miles of road was trotted over in thirty-six minutes
and forty-five seconds. Neither horses appeared the
slightest disttessed at the termination of the race.

present payment must be considered in full of all
claims on this score for the future as well as for the
past. From the dilatory character of Barbary di-
plomacy, it must be impossible to predict when a final
adjustment may take place, but it is anticipated that
the intervention of England and France will ulti-
mately bring about the desired arrangement. Be that
as it may—whether success or failure attends the
endeavours of the mediating pary—one thing is cer-
tain, that Sweden, Norway, and Denmark are firmly
resolved to pay no more tribute, even should the con-
sequences force them to establish cruises off the coast
of Morocco, for the protection of their commerce.

COMPULSORY EMIGRATION.--A curious circum-
stance occurred a few days since to Dr. Blarney, of Uni-
versity Collage Hospital. Some domestic differences
induced him to make up his mind to go abroad, and
without consideration he repaired to the docks, where he
made an arrangement with the captain of a ship about
to sail to Sydney, to accompany him in the capacity of
surgeon. Two days 'before the vessel left Dr. Blarney
repented his hastily formed determination, and having
made up his mind not to leave England, he paid a visit
to the captain for the purpose of acquainting him with
his determination. The captain seemed amazed at this
alteration in his plans, and feeling convinced that dur-
ing the short time that would elapse before his departure
he would be unable to provide himself with another sur-
geon, he induced Dr. Blarney to go on board. Having
secured him in the ship, the captain politely informed
him that he intended compelling him to visit Sydney, in
conformity with the agreement entered into between
them, and a day or two after the ship, with the repen-
tant Doctor on board, set sail for Australia.

Lord Northwick's Picture Gallery has, within the
last few days, undergone an important improvement,
by which its rare and costly treasures of art will be ren-
dered available to their noble owner at all hours. An
apparatus for lighting the apartment with gas having
been erected, two large pendant lamps on the principle
of the bude light have just been introduced, one at either
end of the gallery. These afford an illuminating power
so ample as to exhibit the pictures to considerable ad-
vantage, bringing out the brighter colours with much
force and brilliancy, and though of course not at all
comparable to the pure light of day, yet infinitely supe-
rior to any system of artificial illumination heretofore
employed. The effect would probably have been further
improved had it been practicable to have commanded the
same volume of light equally dispersed from one rather
than from two sources of illumination, as the cross lights
interfere occasionally with each other, and throw a con-
fused glare upon objects viewed across them, an effect
which, were all the rays to emanate from a common
centre, would possibly not occur.—Cheltenham Looker-on.
A STRINGS POST•OFFICE PARCEL.—A few weeks
ago, a person in a village a few miles west of Paisley
committed a serious assault upon a man in his own
house ; he was in consequence sent for by the Pra-
curator-Fiscal, in order to be examined before a ma-
gistrate. This being done, it was thought expedient to
commit him for further examination, and, for his better
security, he was ordered to be sent to Paisley prison.
With this view, he was manacled, and put into a coach,
along with a sheriff-officer. Another officer was seated
on the box beside the driver, and off they went. By
and by they came to the village whence they set out,
and having stopped for some necessary purpose, in a few
minutes again started, and sped on their way. In about
half-an-hour they came to the Paisley toll-bar, where,
of course, they stopped, and where they were made
aware, for the first time, that the coach-dour was open,
and the prisoner off. This information effectually roused
the officer in charge, who had fallen into a nap on the
way. lie made all diligent search for his lost one, but
to no purpose. In the course of two days, however, he
received by post a packet of some size and weight, in
him that his lata prisoner was well and at
liberty, and moreover wished to prove himself an
honest man, by returning to the officer the property he
had entrusted to his keeping, namely, a massive pair of
iron handcuffs. This, it was stated, "he might have by
paying the postage, which amounted to only 2s. Bd.

CHINESE GRANITS.—At 'a meeting of the Highway
Board, on Thursday, an offer was made to sell the Com-
missioners a quantity of Chinese granite, at 65. per
square yard, being about half the price generally paid.
The granite is of very superior quality, and is of lighter
colour than is found in this country. The specimen sent
to the Commissioners has been nicely squared by the

tion of the voyages is also subject to a corresponding
variation from the same circumstances. Where seve-
ral smacks are the property of a single owner, or of
two or three in the same family, they are generally
worked in fleets of from fifteen to thirty sail, each
smack in its turn bringing to market the fish caught
by the whole fleet. In this way a large fleet is en-
abled to keep up a regular and constant supply; thus
a fair average of the market is secured, and the time
of absence from home rendered less variable and un-
certain. Frequently, however, the smacks only come
up the river as far as Gravesend, and having dis-
charged their cargo of fish into the hatch-boats that
ply between that place and the London market, they
take •in fresh provision and return to sea. "s'.ll.

_ails is
called making a " Gravesend voyage," It tends to
keep the men longer from their homes and families ;
but effects a great saving of time to the owners.
Formerly these Gravesend voyages were not so com-
mon as they are at present ; and the men generally
found means to get home on the average once a
month. But to meet the increased competition that the
supply of fish by railway has introduced, the owners
have made them more frequent, till the usual time of
absence has increased to:six or eight weeks, and often
more. One extensive proprietor, the owner of about
fifty vessels, has also, for the last year, employed a
very fast-sailing cutter to carry provisions to his
smacks, and those of the numerous small owners who
are his dependents, and to bring their fish back to'
meet the boats at Gravesend. By this means, the
crews of more than half the smacks belonging to the
place have been kept out at sea for periods of from
three to six months. This lengthened absence from
home and its comforts the working fishermen have
long felt to be a great privation, their stays on shore
being always much shorter than those of other sea-
men. The middle class of owners, thinking probably
that a partial return to the old system would place
them on a more equal footing with the extensive
proprietor above referred to, lent a favourable ear to
their complaints, and, with their concurrence, the
crews of seventy vessels have struck, and re-
turned home. The other owners have, it is
said, promised to take an additional hand
in each vessel, to prevent any being thrown
out of berth should the men's demands
not be acceded to. The apprentices, of whom
more than two hundred are already on shore, will,
of course, be thrown upon their masters' hands. The
demands of the men are for increased wages and
shorter voyages. Their present rate of wages is—
men fourteen shillings a week, and mates sixteen.
They want this to be advanced two shillings in each
case, and the time of absence to be limited to one
month. The majority of the owners seem inclined
to grant them this, but others are averse to all con-
cession. The general opinion, however, is, that "the
owners must give in." The reasons assigned are,
that this is the most profitable part of the year, that
"all hands" are in the strike, and that the men of
other places are not suited to the particular kind of
fishery in which the inhabitants of Barking are en-
gaged. One thing is certain, that if the strike con-
tinues long the loss to large owners will be very
great. Those who continue at sea will obtain high
prices for such fish as they can bring to market,
though it is doubtful whether this advantage will be
more than overbalanced by their participation in the
general loss.

. ecclesiasti, usage
(which, as the Rev. Henry Raikes, Chancellor of
Chester, most justly observes, "in ecclesiastical
matters is but another term for law")—these " holy
innovator-3," we say—betraying, moreover, in all
their innovations a degree of ignorance of the law of
the land, and the law of the Church, all but incon-
ceivable in undeniably acute and officially elevated
men, speaking from a seat of authority—have begun
that process of unsettling men's minds, which never
yet ended in favour of implicit obedience to the
power that provoked it. It is ♦ery strange that it
should not have been felt, in those days of inquiry,
that unreasoned deference can only be paid to pre-
scriptive—habitual—claims on it. Men will readily
Akr

take for granted that there is some reason at the
foundation of any practice, which comes recom-
mended to them by the fact that it has subsisted
from century to century. And some reason, for the
most part, there is. It is the crudest of all proceed-
ings --and that which has most usually been objected
to hasty Reformers—to ascribe nothing of weight to
usage, and everything to some fancied fitness. Wise
men would have begun for instance, in the great
gown-or-surplice question, by supposing the vesture
obnoxious to their zeal innocent, till it was proved
guilty. They would not have ridden off on some
nonsensical hobby of the sermon being part .of the
communion; they would have traced the poor gown
back, and would have discovered its real and original
conformity to the whole system of Protestant
worship, Accordingly the decent and primitive
gown (we, of course, speak as Protestants) would
not have been discarded by a prelate professing not
to be ashamed of the name of Protestant, whatever
might have happened to it at the hands of the Puseyite
Bishop Phillpotts. And, we imagine, even that pole-
mical prelate, with all his fine instinct of discord,
would have hesitated to indulge it (in the matter of
burials) in defiance of the law of the land—if he had
happened to know that law a little better, before he
talked about it. In this state of things, and with this
incredible levity in some high places, every Church-
man must feel the fate of the Church possibly de-
pendent on him. Whether, or not, there are " ten
riFhtcous men " in the city, may fix its doom.
hether, or not, there are sufficient numbers
of clergymen not drunk with a dream of power—
to retain the general confidence of the laity in
something like sane spiritual guidance--is the
question which every clergyman's conduct and lan-
guage go so far to answer. There can be no scruple
about speaking out, when the modern monkery speaks
out so loudly. There can be no scruple about dis-
senting from bishops, when the modern monkery
insults them, and they truckle to it in meed of
insult. Any one who requires proof of this is referred
to Mr. Ward's " Ideal of a Christian Church"—
and with regard to the truckling which has followed
all this insult, on the part of some prelates—what are
these " holy innovations" (never thought of before)
but concessions to this modern monkery ?
What are they but concessions, and most blunder-
ing ones, to the spirit which now avows
its entire unity with Rome—while, most prepos-
terously—though accepting " the whole cycle of
Boman doctrine"—denouncing every exercise of pri-
vate judgment in matters of faith as a sin—declaring
his Holiness " head bishop on earth," and his dogma-
tic decrees infallible—declaring our Church " vitally"
and utterly "corrupt"—and declaring elsewhere, that
Churches thus corrupt are not Churches at all—the
modern monkery of Oxford clings neverthelesslike
sombre and stifling ivy—to the Church of its fellow-
ships—the Church of its coterie-influence—its tea and
" relics." The modern monks believe Rome in all
things—except when Rome tells them they must join
her. In this ridiculous and self-stultified position let
them by all means rest. We would not make a martyr of
a single man (we beg pardon,. monk) of them. We
would let them go on reviling for wiser and far better
men than themselves, and enumerating amongst the
signs of saintship the harbouring of vermin. But we
would not let them dictate charges to Prelates, and ce-
remonies to Protestants. We would let them call us
heretics to their hearts' content, but not palm on us
their heresy. We would let them anathematise all
private judgment, but not substitute theirs for ours.
For, in fact, to private judgment the appeal is made,
after all, on both sides. The Newman and Ward
party, indeed, would dethrone reason from all judg-
ment on faith. But they are compelled to restore
Reason ad interim, to supply arguments why they
themselves stay out of Rome. It is universally
received in the Roman communion, that no
salvation is to be obtained out of it—and that
nothing but " invincible ignorance" can be
pleaded for any yet within its pale. Mr.
IV.,rd declare- that he 100k3 to Rome f

ar. deci,:es gat he loea3 for instruc-
tion and model, and exults in adding that numbers,
like himself, are possessed with the whole cycle of
Roman doctrine. But this doctrine—the keystone
of the arch (for it is this which stamps Catholic
authority) this, the most imperative in " the
whole cycle of Roman doctrine"— these Ox-
ford heretics boggle at. And why ? Because
all other Roman doctrines are good weapons of
attack and aspersion on Protestantism. But this one
doctrine demands the sacrifice of station and influence
by themselves. We ascribe no motives of sordid in-
terest to this very curious party. But it is clear,
beyond all mistake, that they feel consistency would
consign them to insignificance. We hope an ener-
getic (not exclusive or persecuting) reaction of Pro-
testant independence amongst clergy and laity
(which is surely as justifiable as insurrection against
Protestantism) will do just the same business for
them—consign them, namely, to that insignificance
to which some remnant of common sense withholds
them, as yet, from consigning themselves.
STAN DARD.—" The Viscount Abrantes, we
believe, is still in London." Upon this short and
somewhat doubtful text the Morning Chronicle hangs
an argument of more than a column long to prove
that some important change in the sugar duties.
some change much more important than that
proposed by the Whigs and rejected by Parlia-
ment in 1841, may be looked for at the hands
of Sir Robert Peel. We assure our readers that
the Morning Chronicle has no other datum what-
ever to support this extravagant expectation,
but its own belief that " the Viscount Abrantes" (the
Brazilian envoy) "is still in London." Now, dis-
missing the uncertainty in the case, and taking it for
granted the Viscount Abrantes is still in London, we
must dispute the necessity of our Contemporary's in-
ference. The Viscount Abrantes is, like every foreign
gentleman and every foreign minister with whose
country we are at peace (now happily the case in
reference to the whole world) at liberty to
remain in London as long as it shall seem plea-
sant to him ; and if he came here with
the peremptory and extravagant propositions
that have been. ascribed to his Government, his lin-
gering here is a proof, in addition to many others,
that his propositions have been, as they ought to be,
firmly rejected, and that he waits a modification of
them from his own Government. Shopkeepers per-
fectly well understand from the hesitating retire-
ment of a customer who has in vain attempted to
cheapen an article, that he will, in the end, come
back and purchase it. The customer as well
knows that the shopkeeper who follows him into
the street will, ultimately, accept his price. It
is just the same thing in diplomacy. The
party that shows an anxiety to keep the nego-
tiations open as long as possible, is the party that
knows he must give way at last. If the Brazilian
Government had not in fact had so much common
sense a. to see before the failure of their negotiations
with France (of which, by the way, the Morning
Chronicle says nothing) that this is their situation,
why was the Viscount Abrantes sent here ? The
ultimatum of England was obtained from Mr. Ellis—
why then send a special envoy, if there was no new
proposition to offer ? It may be, that the Brazilian
Government may, like others whom the League and its
journals have cheated, have been for a moment puffed
up with an inordinate notion of the importance of the
Brazil trade to the European nations, to France as
well as to England, and may, during this delusion,
have miscalculated its power, or rather forgotten its
utter inability to exclude uropean goods. A few
minutes' conversation of its representative with the
better informed and more . prudent Ministers of
England and of France would soon expose the true
state et. the case, and apprise the Brazilian Govern-
ment, that highly as it may think of itself and of_ the
commerce of the country which it governs, the first-
rate and most commercial nations of Europe are not
yet quite prepared essenticalythtothce onehangeotrhoebirtarnhtohlee

dency of the report which the Viscount Abrantes has :>
made to his superiors, and it is awaiting the modified
propositions which such a report must suggest, that
" the Viscount Abrantes we believe is still in Eng-
land." The Morning Chronicle "engages for it that
the Viscount's demands are of a Sibylline character,
and have not been diminished by so long an
armistice." Upon what does our Contemporary
found this very rash engagement? The Sibyl did not
linger still in Rome; but, though she returned,
she took her answer and departed ; she did not stop
to " higgle and haggle,' if we may use the
Parliamentary dialect. Again, there has been
no armistice, except the expiring treaty is to
be regarded as such. It may be that the
Brazilian Government will be so silly (though we
do not expeet it to be so), as to make more extrava-
gant demands, because the less extravagant are refused,
in order to get in a higher style out of the affair, just
as Mr. O'Connell prefers the more obvious impossibi-
lity, repeal, to the less obvious impossibility, fede-
ralism. "In for a penny, in for a pound," accord-
ing to the proverb. When people resolve to claim
what they know they Rill not get, there is dignity
and grandeur in insisting upon something very great.
The fact is, that our Contemporary's article is from
first to last mere moonshine; an abuse of time, type,
and the patience of readers, of which we cannot rea-
sonably complain, seeing that we have nearly filled
column in replying to it ; fur which we ask pardon.
