MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW WORK.—THE BARNABY'S
IN ABIERICA.—We have not for some time been so gratified
as by the renewal in the New Moidhly Magazine dour ac-
quaintance with Mrs. Trollope's incomparable " Barnaby's;"
nor could we, until a perusal of the chapters, in which this ad-
mirable writer recommences her story, (entitled " The Bar-
naby's in America,") have believed it possible that such a fund
of originality and entertainment, as is evidently in store tot
us, could have been reduced from one and the same set of cha-
racters. The masterly way in which the writer sets about her
newly-imposed task, shows a force of talent, and a fertility of
resources that are not, perhaps, possessed by any other female
writer of the day. The extensive knowledge which Mrs. Trot-
lope possesses of the ways of the New World, and the singularly
felicitous adaptation of those ways to the individuals whom we
are to follow in them, promise a richer harvest of humour,
satire, and amusement, than anything that has appeared in the
pages of a magazine for years past.—Naval and Military
Gazette.

PUBLIC OPINION.

The Herald has the following remarks:—" The advocates
of extreme protection to domestic agriculture thought that the
Corn-law of 1815 would not give sufficient protection to native
cultivation. They were mistaken ; under its operation the
people were sufficiently fed, and agriculture kept its foremost
place amongst national interests. The same class of politicians
protested that the ;Corn-law of 1822 would ruin the British
farmer. Again they were wrong; the culture of our native soil
flourished in spite cf the alteration. The Corn-law of 1828
met with opposition from the like quarter on the same grounds;
yet British agriculture still survives—nay, has since then
greatly advanced in prosperity. The unfulfilled apprehensions
of the past ought study to lessen the dreaded anticipations of
the future. Protection to British agriculture, though a main
is nit the chief cause of its continued and increasing ability to
feed the British people."
The Chronicle thus accounts for the exemption of Ireland
from the Income-tax :—" The want of machinery is unques-
tionably not the chief reason for exempting Ireland from the
tax. '1 he chief reason is not one of principle, but of party
tactics. The Right Honourable Baronet is an admirer of the
policy of setting class against class, and people against people.
By exempting Ireland, he conceived that he would convert the
Irish representatives into neutral or, at the worst, luke-warm
opponents, just as, by exempting all farmers renting farms
under three hundred pounds a-year, he conceived that he
would make partisans of the yeomanry; and, by exempting all
whose incomes do not exceed 15(,/. *a
-year, he would detach
the lower classes from the ranks above them. This policy is
the low and most disgraceful one of filling the different classes
with jealousies of each
.other, in order to profit by the divisions."
In reference to the nuisance of the Income-tax, the Times
observes :—" We are fully alive to the odiously inquisitorial

LXTEJL&RY AND SCIENTIFIC.

Sir I. Brunel, the eminent engineer, has left England to visit
the King of Sardinia, to ascertain the capabilities of that coun-
try for the construction of railroads.
The speculum for the magnificent new telescope con-
structed by the Earl of Bosse, was cast at his Lordship's castle,
Dublin, last week, in the presence of numerous scientific men.
The dimensions of this fine piece of art are extroardinary ; the
weight is 8 tons, its diameter 6 feet, and its thickness 5 feet.

THEATRICAL.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert visited the Haymarket
theatre on Monday night, for the purpose of witnessing the per-
formance of Mr. C. Kean in the Gamester.
SPORTING.
Viscount Drurnlanrig's valuable horse Harlequin, which is
entered for the forthcoming Gorhambury Stakes, was nearly

CIVIL BILL DECREES.

The NoaLE LORD then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
amend and explain so much of tw,o Acts, the 6th and 7th of his
late Majesty, and the Ist of her present Majesty, as rely es to the
execution of Civil Decrees for the possession of land in
Ireland.

After a few words from Mr. MORGAN J. O'CONNELL,
Leave was given to bring in the Bill. The Bill was subse-
quently read a first time, and ordered to be read a ,t cond time
on Monday next.
Mr. GREENE brought up the Report of Supply, granting
to Her Majesty the sum of 18,293,0001. for the payment of
Exchequer Bills, charged in the year 1842, and 66,0001. for
defraying the charge of civil contingencies.
Sir G. CLERK gave notice, that he would move a vote of

souTnwARK l'ArßovE,mF,N7r BILL.

The Southwark Improvement Bill (Nu. 2) was read a
third time.

Mr. PALMER moved a clause to afford compensation
to the lessees of certain property affected by the Bill.
Mr. LITTON seconded the motion.

On the motion that the clause be brought up,
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET thought the ques-
tion was one of too great importance for the House to
be called upon to decide on it hastily. It might involve
the whole question of Church leases, and he thought at
least the clause ought to be printed before the House
came to a decision on the subject. He should therefore
propose, in order to give time to have the clause printed,
that the debate be adjourned to this day se'nnight.
Mr. R. PALMER did not object to the postponement
proposed by the Noble Lord.
Mr. AGLIONBY, although he highly approved of the
clause, yet agreed with the Noble Lord that it would be
better to postpone the further consideration of the sub-
ject, so as not to take the House by surprise. He was
glad to hear the Right Hon. Baronet say, the other day,
that he had directed his attention to the subject of
Church leases, and he trusted the Government would
propose some measure to settle the question. He ap-
proved of the clause of the Hon. Member for Berkshire,
because he thought it was calculated to do justice to
private parties, without inflicting any hardship on the
public.
Sir 11. INGLIS, considering the motion which his
Noble Friend (the Member for Monmouth) made last
weels upon this subject, u3niti not consent to either of the
propositions now made, because the object of the post-

LATEST FROM MEXICO.

We have been favoured with Mexican papers, and the
perusal of letters from' Vera Ciuz to the 11th of May.
Great complaint is made of the dullness of trade and
hai d times in that country.
Sickness prevailed in the city of Vera Cruz, and also
among the shipping.
On the 21st of April Mr. Ellis had his audience of
leave, and General `Paddy Thompson was presented to
President Santa Anna, as Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States near the Government of Mexico. The
papers publish what was said on the occasion, and the
tone of all parties contrasts singularly with that of some
of our contemporaries in this country.
" SPEECH OF MR. ELLIs.—Mr. President—l am in-
structed by the President of the United States to lay
before your Excellency my letter of rccal as accredited
Minister near this Government. In like manner, lie
has directed me to assure your Excellency that say
Government is particularly desirous of cultivating and
maintaining with the Mexican republic the most friendly
and frank relations. That our policy is that of justice
and peace with all nations, and that th.s policy will Le
manifested whenever the occasion may call for it.
_ .

" Before taking leave of your Exceh-ency, I beg leave to
express my ardent hopes that your estimable spouse may.
soon be restored to health ; and, in the meanwhile, I
wish your Excellency to enjoy every felicity that can
fall to the lot of the illustrious head of a great nation,
labouring to tix her political institutions on a basis that
may secure the happiness and prosperity of the country.
offer to 3 our Exc( llency sty sincere thanks for the
release of Mr. Houghtaling, and still hope that yen!
Excellency will have the goodness to permit the other
citizens of the United States I named in our interview on
the 14th to accompany me on my retain home."
REPLY OF PRESIDENTISANTA ANNA.—" It is with deep
and sincere feelings I learn that your Excellency has re-
ceived his letter of recal, and nothing consoles we so
much as the knowledge that your successor is worthy of
filling your place.
" The sentiments you have expressed in the name of
your Government, are very gratifying, for I always
wished that our sister, the great republic d the North,
should preserve and cherish the most frank, sincere,
and friendly relations with Mexico, and that the latter
should demonstrate by her actions a disposition to reci-
procate with the same good will.
" I appreciate, as I ought, the delicacy and kindness of
the interest you take in my spouse, and I cordially receive
your wishes for my success as the head of this noble and
generous nation.
" Anxious to oblige an illustrious citizen of the United
you communicated his prayer for
r.Houghtaling, I concede it with great.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result, it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any other Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporation are
taken into consideration.
The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five sears, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
years.
Forms of proposals may be had at the Offices, 449, West
Strand, and 78, King William-street, City.

CEMENT-MOST IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE
INVENTION.

TO ARCHITECTS, Engineers, Contractors,
Bui'ders. Masons, Plasterers, and the Trade, and also
to Shippers. TIIE PATENT STUCCO PAINT CEMENT,
surpassing every article hitherto introduced, possesses the fol-
lowing extraordinary and valuable properties. Remarkable
adhesiveness, fixing most tenaciously to the smoothest surfaces
(even to gist). It is perfectly impervious to wet or damp.
The more it is exposed to the atmosphere, the harder and more
durable it becomes. It is perfectly free from any of the caustic
qualities of lime, and it may therefore be painted upon as soon
as dry, as it is impossible that it can vegetate or change colour,
nor can it be affected by frost or heat, or crack chip, or
peel off. To Merchants and Shippers, it must form a most
important item of commerce, as it will keep for any length of
time, as fresh as delivered from the manufactory; with regard
to price, it is cheaper than any other Cement, and its lasting
qualities, render it a fortune to builders and others investing
capital in building speculations.
The Patentees have appointed Messrs. Mann and Co., 5,
Maiden-lane, Queen-street, Cheapside, their sale agents, at
whose warehouses any quantity may be had, specimens may be
seen, and every information afforded.

ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS.

HALLOWELL, MAY 25.—1 am gratified to announce
to you the fact, that the Report of the Committee, re-
commending the choice of Commissionersto treat with
the General Government upon the North-Eastern Boun-
dary question, and investing them with full powers, has
pc ssed the House of Representatives, in concurrence with
the Senate, with but eleven dissenting votes. This day,
at twelve o'clock, both branches of the Legislature met
in Convention, and selected with great unanimity the
following gentlemen to act as Commissioners, viz., Hon.
Edward Cavanagh, and Col. John Otis, of the Senate,
Judge Preble of Portland, and Hon. Edward Kent, of
Bangor. The selection is a judicious one, and gives
great satisfaction. The gentlemen designated are admi-
rably qualified to discharge the trust confided to them—
and while, on the one hand, they will guard the rights
and honour of Maine, they will present no factious op
position to an honourable arrangement of the important
question in controversy. The people of this State are
anxious that this vexed question should be settled, and
never was a more favourable opportunity than the pre-
sent to accomplish that object.

sugar and coffee in these colonies is a strong ground for
oar advocating the admission of foreign coffee and sugar,
and ought ere this to have induced the Government to
have adopted the liberal course, so strongly recommended
by all the merchants who appeared before the Commit-
tee on Customs and Imports in 1840, and which may be
said to have laid the foundation for the alterations which
have been made in the Tariff by Sir Robert Peel ; and
it must be deeply regretted by every friend of humatity
that all the great and important articles of food and of
colonial produce have been excluded by the Right Hon.
Baronet from his reform, whilst the population of these
kingdoms are suffering the greatest privations from the
monopolies and protection retained in the new. Tariff.

ment must speak for itself :

At -the Mansion-house yesterday, a clothes-dealer of the

a Jew boy of twelve yeats of age to rob his father. It appeared
that the prisoner and his family were in great poverty, and the
boy, who was very kind-hearted, had been induced to steal a
great number of articles to relieve their wants. The father of
the boy trusted the Lord Mayor would not be severe, as he
knew the prisoner was in very great distress. He was, however,
committed for trial.

Nicholas Foster, a journeyman painter, was brought to
