(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Letters have been received
,from Bahia, to the 28th
Fehruary, containing, some interesting notice of the oc-
currence related in the newspapers, received by packet,
last week, from Rio, de. Janeiro, to the 22d of same
month, and approving of the proceedings of the Imperial
Government, which, it is stated, had procured for it such
confidence, and gained such hold on the public opinion,
as no Government has enjoyed in Brazils since the
abdication of Don Pedro the-First.
The case is thus described :—Each province in the
Ethpina has its own legislative and representative as•
seinbly, with authority to make laws sanctioned by the
Pnesident, with regard to • its internal government, or
prhvincial affairs—but not in respeot of matters con-
cerning the empire 'at large, which are reserved
exclu-
sively to the cognizance of the General Legislative
ASsembly.
In the last Session of that Assembly two, laws were
passed and sanctioned by the Emperor, the
one creating a Council of State, a kind of
Privy Council, for the purpose of holding a
wholesome check on the Ministers for the time being, and
the other a " Reform of the Criminal Code." Both those
measures had become extremely necessary, and the Go-
vernment could not be carried on well without them ;
they were adopted after most mature and able discus
sions, for which purpose the sittings of the two Chambers
had been prolonged for two months beyond the ordinary
period for their closing.
There is not a man of property, nor any one having
a stake in the country, but approves highly of
those two laws ; and .the foreign residents in Brazils,
in particular, are quite delighted with the reform
in the criminal code; but it is singular enough to
observe, that the very men (though few) who now con-
demn both these measures, were most clamorous for
them, and earnestly supported them, in the expectation,
it appears now, of being selected for members of the
Council. Disappointed in this respect on returning to
their own province, St. Paulo, they set to work, and, in
order to produce a commotion, as members of the Provin-
cial Legislature, got up an address from that Assembly
direct to the Emperor, couched in disrespectful language,
inveighing bitterly against the Ministers, designating
them traitors and what not, and praying his Imperial!
Majesty, of his own authority, to annul those laws
which he had so recently sanctioned and promulgated.
The Constitution admits of no direct communication
from the Provincial Assemblies to the Emperor, but re-
quires that all such, relating to matters not strictly pro-
vincial, must be made through the medium of the Presi-
dent of the respective provinces for the time being. This
they refused to abide by, and sent a deputation, consist-
ing of three of their own members to Rio de Janeiro, to
present their address to the Emperor personally.
In the meantime the Council of State had been
named, and the Government had thereby gained great
additional strength. They accordingly requested to be
furnished with a copy of the Address by the deputa-
tions which being complied with, it was declared
to be out of all character, indecorous, wholly
unconstitutional, violent, and disrespectful to the
Monarch, offensive to the Ministry, and sub-
versive of public order, and as such returned;
and its presentation being refused, the Deputation there-
upon returned to St. Paulo, breathing revenge, and
threatening to spread disorder throughout the provinces,
" vi et arms."

The Government, however, took the precaution to
send a steamer to St. Paulo, explaining the whole pro-
ceedings, and issued a circular calling on all the Presi-
dents of the provinces, and enjoining them hence-
forward not to allow any such departure from
or tampering with the Constitution, and moreover,
suspended the Municipal Corporations of several
towns which had, through intrigue or misrepre-
sentation, been induced to follow the example of the
provincial assembly of St. Paulo. These prompt and
decisive steps had the desired effect of entirely dissi-
pating the threatened storm, and the deputation, on their
return to St. Paulo, with the concoctors of the scheme,
the Andrades and Vergeseiros, became objects of ridi-
cule, since their conduct was universally ascribed to dis-
appointed ambition. Every thing, it appears, remained
perfectly quiet, and the greatest tranquillity prevailed
-throughout not only Sr. Paulo, but all the other pro-
vinces' to the northward, whatever a few discontented
and disconcerted individuals may wish "to make
believe " to the contrary. Indeed, the public spirit
and 'patriotism was never better or greater. Whilst
to the southward, the leader of the Rio Grande rebels,
I3enzo Gonzalver, has recently had a very narrow es-
cape of being taken, or killed, in a renconter with a de-
tachment of Imperialist*, having had 60 men killed, and
leaving several prisoners behind him, in which the rebels
have been beaten, according to the Rio newspapers, and
confirmed by the Bahia letters. They are in a.very dis
organized state, being much discouraged by repeated de-
feats, and evendesertions, whilst the Imperial troops are
in high spirits.
With regard to the finances, the writer of, the letter
observes that he cannot see any difficulty to be appre-
hended whilst capitalists can be found who would be
glad to contract for a loan, perhaps to a large amount,
at 70 percent., and,whilst " Exchequer Bills" are freely
taken, and he concludes with expressing his opinion
that a new era' had 'commenced in the prospects of the
empire, from the additional firmness the Government
.had acquired by the 'nomination of the Council of State,'
.above referred to and by which ,a degree of moral
strength had beep gained, never before experienced in
that country.

COVENTIGARDEN_THEATRE.

GERMAN. OPERA.

The German Opera season commenced last evening.,
! at Covent Garden Theatre, under' the able -auspices of
Mr. Bunn. • The piece chosen for the opening was
Weber's .magnificent opera of Der Freischutz. - Herr
Eichberger, primo tenore to the ding of Prussia, made
his first appearnuce before an English audience, in the
character of Max (the Rhodolph of the English version).
Herr Eichberger possessed a good person and an
expressive countenance. His voice is a pure tenor
of great
.sweetness; but rather deficient in power. This
defect of power, however, is more than compensated for
by the tenderness, the expressiveness. and the flexibility
of his intonations, and as Herr Eichberger is an accom-
plished musician; his 'scientific knowledge enables him to
prevent his 'deficiency of power from 'becoming too ap-
parent, In, his great scena in the first act, nothing
could exceed the, beauty with which lie gave
the more 'level passages of the melody. Al-.
though he had scarcely power of voice sufficient to do
justice to the bravura passages in an area so vast as that
of Covent-garden, he was much and deservedly ap-
plauded. Staudigl was the Caspar. Staudigl has lost
none., of his immense volume of voice since he left us.
He is the .I?ablache of Germany, and his Caspar is by
far the uiost spirited ,and powerful representation of that
character that has ever yet been given. no gave the drink-
ing song with a gusto that completely carried away his au-
ditory. He was of course obliged to repeat it, and, had he
attended to the calls of the audience, he would have sung
it a third time. With the exception of the Huntsmen's
Chorus, this was the only encore of the evening.
Madame Stceckel Heinefetter was advertised for the
part of Agathe. In consequence, however, of her severe
indisposition, Madame Schodel undertook the part at a
short notice, and performed it excellently. Her opening
scene in the second act was truly magnificent, and nothing
but its extreme: length, and the consequent fear of
fatiguing Madam Schodel too much, prevented a call for
its repetition. She was loudly and most judiciously
applauded, and in a matter that must have been highly
gratifying to her ; because it showed that her efforts
were properly appreciated by her' audience. Fraulein
Gued made her first appearance in this country, in the
little character of Annehen. This young lady is quite
a German- beauty. She has an intelligent, expressive
countenance, a clear and powerful voice, and acts with
great spirit. In the soubrette parts of comic opera
we should imagine she must be first-rate.
The choruses were got up with all that precision and
attention to minutiai for which the Germans are so cele-
brated ; and the mise en scene was worthy of Covent-
garden. The orchestra, presided over by Herr Lachner,
musical director to the Grand Duke of Baden, and con-
ducted by Herr Ganz, kapellmeister to the Duke of
Hesse Darmstadt, was full and complete, and did full
justice to the overture, the masterpiece of Weber. It was
evidently a labour f love with all concerned, and
never have we had this superb overture more expres-
sively or more admirably given. It was indeed a treat
to hear such an overture performed by such an orches-
tra. At the conclusion, of the opera, " God save the
Queen" was sung, the solo parts being sustained by Ma-
dame Schodel, Herr Staudigl, and Herr Eichberger.
The performances were well and fashionably attended.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.
CLAUDET S DAGUERREOTYPE.

The gentleman who conducts the process of painting
with the real rays of the sun himself, instead of
" camel's hair," at the Adelaide Gallery, shows very good
taste in retaining the name of the profound and ingeni-
ous man to whom the world is indebted for the inven •
tion ; although Mr. Claudet has made some valuable
improvements, which we have no doubt will lead to the
complete perfection of this wonderful and most interest-
ing art. It was a bold conception to search for means
through which the image of an object, upon the plan of
the camera obscure, should be permanently fixed and
retained, as if it had, been traced by the graver, or
stamped into the metal by the steam press of the Mint.
What the effect will be upon painting and painters, it is
not easy to conjecture, nor is it very pleasant to speculate.
The 'Treat resource of struggling genius in that branch
of the fine arts, has been in all ages the ministering to
the vanity of the rich, by transferring their images to
canvas and to paper. This occupation of the artist is,
we suspect, nearly gone for ever. No one will sit and
yawn from day to day for weeks, and months, and years,
in the studio of Rothwell or Robertson, in the doubtful
hope of seeing a guessable likeness of him or herself
upon a kit-kat or an inch of ivory ; when, in half a
second literally half a second —or so small a
space of time as admits only of musical mea-
surement, the father of all the Muses, the author
of all the Arts, the great Phoebus himself, will
strike a portrait, exact to the minutest trait, faith-
ful to the very life, and as expressive as if the soul
passed into the picture, with the lineaments of the
human face divine—of which all the divinity is pre-
served. 1,
A sketch of the process may not be unaccept-
able to some of our readers. The discovery of M.
Daguerre, consisted of the means of fixing permanently
upon a plate of silver, an image formed in the camera
obscure. The silver, having been chemically cleaned
iind accurately polished, is placed over a vessel contain-
ing iodine, the vapour of which is diffused over its sur-
face. The greatest nicety and taste is necessary to
secure the equal diffusion of the vapour over the whole
surface, and in a certain exact quantity, as the least
deficiency or excess would frustrate the experiment.
Thus prepared, the plate is placed in the focus of the
camera, where it receives the light reflected from the
object of which the image is required. This part of the
process occupies, as we have said, an inconceivably short
time, and if the object be a portrait the most transient
expression passing over the face so rapidly as scarcely
to be seen, it is fixed upon the plate with the force and
truth of life. No effort of the pencil, in the hand of any
master that ever did or ever will live, could make any
approach to such an effort. It is to be observed,low-
ever, that, upon first withdrawing the plate from the box,
no effect of the light upon it is perceptible, and
not the faintest image is to be observed. However, on,
being exposed in a close chamber, the Mercury raised to
a state of vapour, in a heat of 180 degrees Fahrenheit,
the picture is formed. In this process M. Claudet has
made some important changes, the exact nature of which
we, of course, are not acquainted with. But the result
is that he produces picture*, laving, the general appear-
ance of drawings in Sepia, but On close inspection, and in
a particular light, the flesh tints are to be perceived, as
clear, rich, and warm, as they are seen in the life.
Hence we are induced to believe, that M. Claudet is ap-
proaching the point of perfection,lind that he will be able
to produce portraits with not only the lineaments and
character, but with the colour of the original in greater
frt.shness and truth than any production of the easel.
As we are on the subject of the Adelaide Gallery, we
may observe that there has been recently a change in
the management, which is now in the hands of Mr.
Jones, himself a man of science and an able lec-
turer. His lectures on the voice of man and animals are il-
lustrated by the German Sifileur, Herr Joel, who posseses
a wonderful facility of imitating all sorts of voices and
sounds, discordant or melodious. Several of the courses
rof lectures are proceeding daily and nightly. The
sweet prodigy the Infant Sappho is retained, and Clarke's
Dissolving Views, being often varied, continue, as they
deserve, a great attraction. A passing word may be be-
stowed upon the Magician Cranbrook, whose feats
abate our wonder at the exploits of Herr Dobler.

LECTURES ON SCOTTISH SONG
• AND 'MUSIC.
Mr. Wilson gave another entertainment last night at
the Music-hall, Store-street, when, laying aside the for-
' mality of a lecture, he " strung his pearls at random,"
by delivering only the selectest of his songs to the audi-
ence. Many of these we had heard before, but though
thus numbering among the " bis repetita," they came
upon the air fresh and full of sweetness as at first.
Among those, however, not enlisting under this category,
was " My ain fireside," written by Mrs. Elizabeth
Hamilton, authoress of "• The Cottagers of Glenburnie."
The warm, comfortable .melody to which it is sung,
breathes ,the very . spirit of a quiet soul,
sit-
.in ,j:oonteiitetinean .by. the rich ember-light of
"a "happy hearth— ." Saw ye my wee thing?" is a loveable
little idol, written one would have supposed by a Scotch
Moschus.: the inquiries after the lost loved-one, with
her sugared lips and personal beauties, were no less choice
than the dulcet subject itself warranted. It appears
that the author of the fine ballad of " Auld Robin
Gray," which speaks so feelingly, as the singer repeats
it, of the wreck and mournfulness of faded humanity,
long lay perdu, and Mr. Wilson stated, that so much
was curiosity on the stretch to ascertain its writer, that
15 guineas were advertised at the time, as price for the
divulged secret. Lady Ann Lindsay, it filially became
known, was the " veiled Isis " who gave it to
the world. " Will ye . gang wi' me, Lizzie Lindsay ?"
went off iu light-tuned triplets. " Where hae ye been a'
day, my boy Tammy ?" furnishes a piece of fidgetty ques-
tioning on the part of the old dame, and frank answers
on Tammy's, the inamorato's part, who confessed that a
" dimpled cheek and cherq mou' " had led him astray,
and were confessedly no slight plea for such temptation.
The gathering tune "Pibroch o' Doniul 1)hu" was a
singular performance. Near as can be imagined, the
voice of the clansmen assimilates itself to the continuous
drone of the bagpipe, and its effect, far from disagree-
able, presents the idea, as the words are breathed chiefly
through the nostrils, and with dilated cheeks, of a cer-
tain stifled fiery, and resolute daring—a species of
doughty valour bent upon prowess and dispatch : the
:alto tones were no less spirited, and seemed the very
rousing of the whole warrior in the man. The room
was full, and the evening passed off with the usual eclat,
notwithstanding Mr. Wilson's voice was somewhat in-
firm from cold.

DEATH OF LORD HENRY RUSSELL.—Yesterday
morning, about five o'clock, at the Governor's House, Green-
wich Hospital, the Right Hon. Lord Henry Russell, Commander

SIR G. COCKBURN and SIR R. PEEL.
General Sir G. Cockburn, of Shangunah, near Dublin, has
addressed a letter to Sir It. Peel, which will be found in another
column, suggesting that all the paper currency, as well as She
metallic currency, should he issaed under the authority of the
Government alone, and every other description of paper issues
gradually put an end to and abolished. As this is a doctrine
which is making way in the city, where it finds a great number
of intelligent advocates, it may be worth while to set forth the
details of Sir G. Cockburn's plan, which is evidently the result
of great care and consideration, and which will repay perusal.
He begins by adding together the sums due by the Govern-
ment to the Banks of England and Ireland, to Saving's-banks,
the amount of outstanding Exchequer-bills, and the defi-
ciency of the present financial year, making in the aggre-
gate 30,000,0001. He then takes the amount of notes
payable on demand, by whatever source in the United
Kingdom issued, and sets them down at 44,008 L,
which is increased to 52,000,0001., if the deposits in
the Banks of England and Ireland are to be considered as err-
rency. The amount of bullion to meet this immense quantity
of paper he estimates at 6,421,0001., or less than 2s. 6d. in the
pound, if immediate payment were required, which is, indeed,
now an under estimate. He then proposes to destroy at once
the partnership between the Governments and the Banks of
England and Ireland, and to effect this an Act is to be passed,
enabling the Lords of the Treasury to issue notes to the extent
of 30,000,0001., which would pay off the amount set down
above for liabilities, and would, in fact, be a "loan of the nation
to itself" (to use Sir George Cockburn's own expression),
without interest. The same Act would render it illegal for any
banking Company to issue notes payable on demand, and the.
Treasury notes would, of course, be a legal tender, and receiv-
able for taxes. As this 30,000,0001. might be thought insuf-
ficient for the purposes of currency, when 50,600,000/. is re-
quired at present, he thinks that 20,000,0001. might be advan-
tageously issued to pay off part of the national debt. Part of
his scheme, according to which he would force the fundholder
to take 80 per cent. under a penalty of reduced interest, is not
worthy of serious attention, as it could not be effected without
a compromise a pubiic faith, but this might be easily amended
by using the Treasury notes to purchase stock in the market at
the ruling price, since there is no reason why they should not
be so used as well as the present Bank notes. The great ad-
vantage which Sir G. Cockburn promises by this scheme is a
steadiness in the currency, for all that ability of coining at
pleasure, which is virtually enjoyed by the Banks of k ng-
land and Ireland, would be at once removed, antra provision
would be made in the Act under which the Treasury
notes would be issued against any increase of 6r: tiled=
without the consent of Parliament. The smaller inotes,
amounting to five pounds or ten pounds, would be re-
deemable on demand at the Treasury in specie, bat
it dues not seem that this would be the case with
tho.e of larger amount, nor is the reason of assigning the
particular limit to convertibility as set sufficiently elaborated
in Sir G. Cockburn's scheme to admit of close investigation.
That there must be a paper money of some sort or other he
&betimes, and likewiee that the present amount of bullion in the
country is lamentably deficient if compared with the present
amount of circulation. Such paper, then, though still insuffi-
ciently repre,,ented, had better be in the power of the Govern-
ment under legislative authority than in that of private indi-
viduals or coi-poratious, since, at all events, if the whole dan-
ger of a paper currency were not removed, the fluctuations in
the circulation would occur under legislative sanction aloile, and
not be subjected to individual caprice.
Whatever may be thought of this plan, it is certain there is
no part of Sir Robert Peel's future policy to which more earnest
attention is directed in this place than to his course with regard
to the currency, and the opinion is general, that if it is thifight
right to attack that ancient monopoly of the paper issues which
is po.sessed by the Batik of England for the metropolitan dis-
trict, be is the man to conduct that attack, and to carry it
through with safety to the country. It is not to be dotibted
that in the change of the sort here recommended, they might
become formidable and dangerous oponents of the Govern-
ment. The name of Peel may keep them in awe, but the late
:Ministry, had they had the courage or the judgment to mak-
such an attempt, would probably in a very short time have been
laid prostrate by such an antagonist.— Times.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—TDE LATE CASE OF SUSPECTED
SUICIDE IN HYDE Panic.—Last evening an inquest was held
at the sign of the Old King's Head public-house, in Knights-
bridge, before Mr. Higgs, the Coroner for Westminster, on
view of the body of Mary Parkinson, aged 49 years, a single
woman. John Winnett, a bricklayer, stated that about five
o'clock on Friday morning last, as he was crossing the eastend
of the Serpentine-river, on his way to his work, he saw the
body of the deceased, face upwards, near to the south shore.;
he Threw off his coat, and wading in to thedepala of about four
feet, succeeded in getting the body ashore ; it appeared to have
been in the water about an hour. The deceased had a bonnet
arid cloak on ; her apparel was not disordered or torn. She
was searched, and nothing was found in her pockets but a por-
tion of an old song. Mr. Joseph Winn, a tailor, stated that
the deceased was his cousin ; she had been a cook in several
respectable families, but had been out of a situation for three
months. She left her home on Thursday morning last to look
fur a place, and was nut seen again alive by her relatives. She
had lately been in a desponding state of mind, seldom answer-
ing any questions put to her. She was in great distress through
being out of a situation so long, and had parted with every-
thing she possessed to support herself. She had stated in wit-
ness's hearing, and on different occasions, that rather than she
should come to extreme want, she would make away with her-
self. She had been much respected in the situations she had
held, and about three years ago was much better off. Her
friends heard of her body being found through a paragraph
which appeared in the daily papers. There \vete no marks of
violence about the body. Verdict—" That the deceased
drowned herself while in a state of temporary insanity."
Prince Esterhazy, when travelling in Switzerland
last summer, arrived in the evening of August 26 at Wallen.
stadt, between Zurich and Ragatz, alighting at the Hotel du
Cerf, chose his rooms, and ordered his supper. While this
was prearing, the Prince took a walk on the banks of the
lake. Ileing struck with the beautiful situation of the Hotel
tie l'Aigle, he entered it, and, finding that he should have
more enjoyment there, sent a note to his courier at the Geri,
and desired him to pay all charges, and remove his equipage
and baggage to the Aigle. This letter fell into the hands of
M. Hubert, the landlord of the Cerf, who opened it, and re-
fused to suffer the removal, and afterwards meeting the Prince,
treated him with great personal insult. The Prince com-
plained to the Vice-Prefect, but could not obtain any re-
' dress. The affair was at last arranged by the Prince pay-
ing a heavy charge for his rooms and supper, ordered, but
riot eaten, at the Cerf. He, nevertheless, gave liberal gra-
tuities to the waiters. Travelling, afterwards, by the steam-
boat Minerva, the Prince made an entry in the vessel's book,
relating all that had passed, and adding some severe retlec-
tions upon the conduct of M. Hubert. Being informed of this
ephheedA ft
oi nti3rh the aTtroi 'Tribunal
it.n t .11.1t.h
e Hubert Captain
refu requiredsed t. hi%ei.Ciaiputbeainrtoafpt
of Sarganc for redress!. This Court ordered the erasure of the
entry, and that the Captain should pay the costs, but refused to
award anything to the complainant by way of damages. Against
this decision an appeal was made to the Supreme Court, which
recently decreed that the Captain was not responsible, as the
author of the entry in the venel's book was known, and there-
fore quashed the former judgment, ordering M. Hubert to tay
all the costs, which amount to more than three times the sem
he bad obtained from the Prince.

FIRE AT 111:wEs.—About half-past two on Montli
morning, a fire broke out at the printing-office of the ussel:
Alrerhser. This is one of the oldest Sussex papers, having
been established in the year 1745, since which time it has re-
mained in the same family. No cause can be given fur the
origin of the fire. Mr. Frederick Lee, env of the proprietors.
was the last person in the office, and put out his candle, but
having forgotten his spectacles, he returned in the dark to
obtain them, when all appeared quite safe, although it is clearly
proved that the fire commenced at this spot. The whole of
the type, printing presses, stamps, paper, &c., are destroyed,
in fact, not a sestige was saved, and the damage estimated at
nearly 7,000/. Mr. Lee is insured in the Sun-office, to the
extent of 1,300/. Mr. Browning, the spirit merchant, has also
sustained a less to the extent of 2001. Mr. Banter, the
proprietor of the Sussex Express came forward in the most
handsome manner and tendered every assistance to 11r. Lee,
which will enable him to bring out the Sussex Advertiser as
usual this evening.
The Commerce Says :—" The number of large
barracks, for both infantry and cavalry, which are to be In.
staidly commenced within the line of the continuous wall, is
six. They will be built against the principal bastions, and
protected on the city side by a ditch. There are to be three
on the right bank of the river, and three on the left ; those on
the right bank will be situated as follows :—one on the Plaine
du Tombeau, near the Batignolles ; another near the Rond
Point, on the road from La Chapelle to St. Denis ; and a third
at the entrenchments of the Pont de Flandres, to the north of
La Villette. The three barracks on the left bank of the river
will be situated thus :—one opposite the Barriere de Fontaine-
bleau, on the hill of Ivry ; another behind the Observatory, to
the left of the Paris and Orleans road ; the third at Vatigi-
rard."
The proceedings in the ease of the late Madame de
Feucheres excite great interest in Paris. At present the evi-
dence seems in favour of the claim of the husband, and ninety.
nine out of a hundred hope he may gaiqLfor his conduct has
throughout the affair been admirable. Illferything turns upon
the legitimacy or illegitimacy of Madame de Feucheres. 'lt
is asserted that she was nut in any way related to the family in
the Isle of Wight, whose name, it is said, is Dew, not Dawes.
Mr. Dawes, from whom she is supposed to have taken her name,
is said to have been a man with whom she lived as a mistress,
and who was an officer of some rank in the English army.
M. de Genoude, who arrived a few days ago at
Toulouse, preached a sermon on the 24th ult. at the church of
St. Etienne in that city, which was attended by the principal
Legitimists of the place, amongst whom, says the Journal de
Toulouse, was AI. de Villele.

PUBLIC OPINION.
~
The following o'bservatiens are' from the-gore/rig Herald :
" To simply deplore the disgeating•seench-cf Sudbirry, Ips-
' Wich, Southampton, FalmOuth,' and Penryn; will"nat suffice;`
.the example of-the venal *fetches who disgrace' the consti,
tueney of those corrupt boroughs is..erintagiotii; the mere ex.'
pesura of. their crimes will waft that contagion over the land
and inoculate the. honest poverty,cf other places with the like
disease; something must. be done to,. erruheate the complaint,
or fifty years hence the English borough representation will be
one horrid mass of corruption. It is felly.and, self-deceit to
associate eithFr political party with liiherv; the origin of the,
evil is `the tinwholearime condition of public morality; a starv-
ing people canndtibeiirtuous, 'or i'meney-worshipping upper
class pure.' Could the daily labour of the working population
procure?them a sufficiency of daily bread we should hear little
of their accessibility to this corruption ; and were their supe-
riors content .to remain •in that eottditton.4 life-' to which it
has pleased God to call them,' we should-. have few who would
attempt their corruption.l' •.' • .
' The Pm attributes the increased bribery, and corruption at.
' elections.-to the.Fteform Bill, oblerving--" Ail -the Conservative
journals haie admitted an; deplored the too: general practice of
purchasing Votes 'for Members of Parliament. It is a monstrous
abuse, and they do not say that it is'confiried to any party in
the State, though they cannot but take notice of the fact that,
for so far, in ' the 'present session, the conviction have been
against.itheWhig-Radical party. And 'they -are the more
called npon to take notice of this - fact, because. the Whig-
, .Radicals had asserted; before the investigations ctunmeneed,
thatthe Tories ,were the offendersin this matter, and had ob-
tained their majority, by means ofcorruption. The fault lies
..with.. the. representative system and
.the...immorality of. the
.people, inwhicti we include-those ~who seek te.be Members of
parlianient as, well ae'these who vote fer,Memberspf Parlia.
'tient. The Refoilit Act affected an exceedingly great mischief
In adding to the power and opportunity Of unprincipled persons
'to make a priffit.of their-immorality. There was enough of
that Wore, but since V 332 Whits greatly increased:" '
The -'Chroisiele ; says-=," Thethief portion; if not the vvhole,
. of What. Sir Robert Peel has done, or proposes. to do, for the
industrial and suffering.. population, eonsists of two • items--
exemption frointheincomeitax , for :those whose earkings..are .
less than three

months hence; in therprice of meat as the agrieultufists (lie
assures them) need net be alarmed about. Apd how much
Will this relief ammint
.to?, 'Every. day brings' 'fresh reason to
apprehend that the tariff modifications haye been largely over-
rated as to the benefit' they will confer on the consumer. A
slight fall in the 'cost of animal food will not 'be' felt by the
labouring'elasseil--" They cannot afford to purchase enough to '
render :the -difference• perceptible. Their outlay is :larger in
. potatoes tban.in meat.;. and more in bread,-.thantin both toge-•
ther. . So long as bread is dear, its enhanced cost destroys their

cannot take, it. It ,is by the middle classes rhat_the chief

it prove operative, and; the working classes will be left much
as they are." .

House of Cogitnntis,:-claiming tforkpeniatiOn for the losi he hid
sustained in consequence of the destrUction of the Houses of
Parliament by The demurrer was filed. by the law officers
of the Crown, on the ground ot)want of equity, inasmuch as the
Crown was not answerable for'any: hiss or damage occasioned
to any of its subjecti by the carelessness of any of its servants.

Mr. O'BRIEN could assure the Convention that,,however
much he admired Mr. O'Connor, and admire him he did most
highly, he did not feel that affection for him which he (Mr..
O'Connor) had expressed for him (Mr. D'Brien.)—( Laugh-
ter.) He was glad he-should have an opportunity of defending
himself in the Northern Star from the, calumnies: and slanders
that had been heaped upon him in it. He hoped Mr.' O'Connor
would keep his promise, and then perhaps his (Mr. O'Brien's)
admiration might ultimately ripen into that affection which he
(Mr. O'Connor) had so warmly expressed for him (Mr.
O'Brien.) , Mr. Q'connor had a very smooth way, of coming
over people; but he hoped he would act just as he said he would,
and not give him (111 r. O'Brien) any more of his smoothness;
for perhapthe4( Mr. gliCoenor) did not know it. but so smoothly.

that Mr. O'Connor would notgive hitn any more of hissmooth-

VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.)

VINCENTS V. .tEA6OCK.

His Honour,Aho Vice;Chincellbe of England, was occupied
the whole morning with the further arguraents in this part-
heard case. r.

(Before Vice-Chancellor WIC{R'ABi.)
BOWER V. ,COOEBR.
In this case his Honour delivered judgment. The speciii
performatice, a geepent for the 4)gitchase of some pt.o-
perty was‘iesisted• by the defendant,
.the -Vendor, on four dig:
nun grounds. First, it was alleged that the agreement upon
the face of it was uncertain; not purporting to be a sale
of the fee simple;',Atudit-thorefore, 'that; it- was uncer-
tain what interest ,the,:::vendor-aneant la sells and it was
-also alleged that by, the terms of the agrgerent sufficient pro-
vision was not made for securing thepayment of the considera-
tion for the sale, which was an annuity of 301. a year. On
the first point, his Honoursaid he had feltno doubt at the time
of the argument, that if A agreed, to sell land to B, and B
agreed to purchase for a gross sun, the import of the agree-
ment was, that the whole interest parsed.: He had been confirmed
in that opinion by a reference to the authorities. On the second
point, he would have po hesitation,if the vendor was ultimately
campelledlO cornPlete the' cOntract, in inserting a declaration in
the decree that he was entitled,to-.theneceisary provisions. The
second ground alleged against the agreement was weakness of
mind on the part of the Vendor. That, point was not sug-
gested by the pleadings, and the rule in -Wit ease was, that the
evidence could- not be received. It had`-indeed been held by
Sir Thom Rlommer,, that where_evidence of that kind
came out in the defence, the case might be sent for fur-
ther inquiry ; but in the present case,: there being nothing
but an opinion as to the ~man's incapacity,. he could not allow
that as a ground of defence.. Anotherground which had been
set up was intoxication ; but on looking at the evidence he had
come to the-conclusion• that there was",nothing at all-to show
that the vendor
,was intoxicated at the time of executing the
agreement.- The fotirth ground set- up by the defence was
the -alleged inadequacy of the cotiiideration. It was con-
tended tor, the . defendant. that. the cottages included in
the sale' W4res_*ortii; eighteirt.'or '.t-iventy" years' purchase.
'lf he were obliged, then, tp decide-the question he would say
that the inadequacy was not -proved; but he thought as the,
"question vras",one of fact, the case might Very properly be sent
to an inquiry to ascertain witat,was the actual value. What he
proposed,Aereforr) was -to give the,eend,or, a--reference as to
the value of the property, without prejudiee to any question in
the cause.
