SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—We return to the subject of the pro-
mised, or threatened, importation of American wheat
via Canada, having found, on looking back to the
recent debates in the Canadian Parliament on that
subject, confirmation of the views which we have
already presented to our readers. We find that,
in the Committee on the Bill for imposing
the duty on American wheat, Mr. Harrison,
one of the Government officials in the province;
stated that there had been further instructions received
from the Colonial-office, since the published dispatch
of Lord Stanley, stating the wishes of the Home Go-
vernment that a duty on American wheat shOtild be
imposed at the Canadian frontier. Accordiugly.the
Governor sends a dispatch to the Provincial Parlia-
ment proposing the measure "in obedienee to
.the
wishes" of °the Home Government. Coupling this 'ex-
press intimation with Lord Stanley's dispatch of the
2d March, in which the imposition of such duty was
stated as a sine qua non, preliminary to the farther
reduction of duties on anadian (American) wheat
in this country, it is impossible to avoid the con-
clusion that the Home Government stands still
mere distinctly pledged to that farther reduction
than even appeared on the face of Lord Stanley's
dispatch. it appears that the Act of the Canadian
Parliament was. adopted on an express recommendation
from the Home Government, following on Lord
Stanley's dispatch, which had held out hopes of ad-
mission at a nominal duty here, in case such an Act
should be adopted. It would seem, then, that there
is no loophole left ; that an express pledge can be
pleaded by Canada, as having afforded the sole motive
which could have induced her to tax American wheat at
her own frontier. The tax has been imposed by Canada,
in consequence of that pledge having been given. The
measure would not have been passed so quickly, but
from the necessity which was urged by the official
men for passing the, measure during the recent session
of the Canadian Legislature, or the Home Govern-
ment would not be able to carry out their pledge
during the ensuing session of the Imperial Parlia-
ment. Lord Stanley, in his dispatch, took credit
with the Canadians for the push downwards which
the present Government were making in the
sliding scale, as regarded Canadian wheat. As a
pre-requisite condition to a farther push down
wards, he pointed out . the imposition of a duty
by the Canadians themselves. We have shown
that subsequent instructions to the Governor-
General expressly recommended that imposition. The
condition has'be2n fulfilled, and the Canadians have
thereby entitled themselves to an equivalent reduction
ere—that is to say, to admission at a nominal duty.
Such a relinquishment of Imperial duties, on such a
condition, the Kingston Chronicle (Canadian) remarks j
as unprecedented. "This is the first time," it says,
"that the Imperial Government has given up-to a co-
lony the duties it thinks proper to impose in England
on colonial imports, for the regulation of its own
trade." We have already pointed out to the landed
Corn-law Leaguers that this is a step towards-the in-
evitable result of an open corn trade with America
—a main bugbear of their apprehensions, during the
discussions of last session.
STANDARD.—The addition which we are this
day able to make to the mass 'of Oriental news pre-
sented in yesterday's paper will afford to our readers
all the information that can be obtained, and nearly
all that can be desired, as to the triumphant progress
of the British arms in the East. Had any one had
the ;power to execute a wish, formed by his own
mind upon the most careful consideration, he
could scarcely, if the wisest of men, have
varied in circumstances the actual termination
of the wars in China and Affghanistan. At first
most of us would desire that the subjects in dispute
had been arranged by' negotiation alone ; but
besides that the perfidy of our antagonists must
render of little value any arrangement secured only
by diplomatic guarantees, the prevailing character
of the East renders the contest of diplomacy as
important in influence as the contest of arms,
and, as respects the moral consequence, -a contest

disadvantage, would certainly be represented as such ;
and in a part of the world where trickery and fraud
are prized as the highest accomplishments, would
give to our antagonists the augmentation of power
that always follows an opinion of success. Again,
we might hastily desire that the enemy had
yielded without resistance : but here, too, the

THE QUEEN'S :VISIT TO WALIIER
CASTLE.
WALMEN, MONDAY EvENINo.--The weather this
day has been exceedingly rough, wet, and disagree-
able, with a change of wind to the south-west, con-
sequently her Majesty's visit to Ramsgate has been
again put oft
The reports as to her Majesty's stay here are so
various and contradictory that it is hardly worth while
recording them.

It is our opinion, however, from the sources of in-
formation we have an opportunity of consulting, that
the Queen will not go to Brighton from hence (indeed
we may say this is now certain), but that she will
proceed from here direct to Windsor. From one week
to three is reported as the period her Majesty will
yet remain at Walmer Castle.
Her 'Majestyhas not left the Castle all day, nor has
Prince Albert taken his usual ramble on the beach.
Viscount Sydney left Walmer Castle yesterday.
Lord Hardwicke arrived at the Castle this morn-
and has succeeded Lord Sydney as Lord in

About six o'clock the Thunderer was magnificently
illuminated with blue and other lights, which were
hurl!, all over the vessel, from the top-gallant mast-
head to the lower deck. Many discharges of ca-..non
and small arms were fired off while the display of
rockets and other fireworks from her sides of oak il-
luminated the sky for many miles round. The Fear-
less steamer and two other of her Majesty's vessels
were also illuminated, and let off fireworks. At Deal I
and Walmer many convivial parties met in the even-
ing in honour of the birth•day of the Princess Royal,
while'the streets were paraded to a late hour by the
loyal inhabitants of these places, bands of music being
in attendar

We mentioned yesterday that her Majesty expressed
her sense of the pleasure she derived from the grand
sailing excursion the Deal and Walmer boatmen got
up in front of the Castle. The Mayor received a
letter to this effect from Walmer Castle. His Wor-
ship assembled the crews of the fleet of boats together
and read to them her Majesty's letter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HO USE.
A tall thin pale man, who stated that his name was
George . was brought before the Lord
Mayor charged by a person named Check, who has
the care of commercial .chambers in Great St. Helen's.
Mr. Check stated that several robberies had been
committed in the chambers of merchants in Great St.
Helen's, by individuals who called as if to -transact
business, at the times when the owners were engaged
out of doors. The prisoner had gone up stairs that
morning three different times, and had taken away
the key of the chambers of Mr. Harris, a merchant,
and returned no doubt for the purpose of using it,
but, upon seeing that Mr. Harris was inside, he sud-
denly departed, although he had upon first calling in-
timated a wish to see that gentleman, who happened
to be engaged elsewhere. The prisoner was taken
into custody and searched, and the key was found in
his possession. Soon afterwards a smart looking man,
who had been seen in the building about two months
ago, just before Mr. Harris's chambers were robbed
of a parcel, was observed in the neighbourhood, and
the moment he perceived the witness he turned away
• and hastily decamped but was-soon apprehended. It
was believed than the latter person who had taken to
his heels was an accomplice of Wiiliams, and had sent
him to the chambers furnished with instructions how
to act, for the key alluded to had been taken from a
secret place in which it was the custom to deposit it
when the chambers were empty.
Williams said he had nothing to say, but that as lie
went into the building to inquire for a gentleman at
the request of anothergentleman he picked up the key.
The LORD MAYOR—Where do you reside ? Wil-
liams—ln Tothill-street.
The LORD lAlA.yon—At what number ? Williams
—I think it is No. 8.
The LORD MAYOR—WhO is the landlord ? Wil-
liams—l don't know. I have been there only two
days, and that's a week ago.
7:fhe LORD MAYOR—Then how do you get your
livelihood ? Williams—l don't exactly know.—
(Laughter.)
The Loan MAYOR—Of course you can bring per-
sons here of repute to speak personally of
your cha-
racter? Williams—Oh, certainly. I shall write for
gentlemen immediately.
The Loan MAYOR desired that in the mean time
the other man should be brought up,
along-
aide the prisoner Williams. and plaeed
