How TO PUT A LADY IN GOOD SPIRITS.
—Take her to a milliner's shop and buy her a bonnet-
The manageress of one of the most extensive estabhsh-
ments in London, in the course of her evidence the other
day, in an action for breach of promise, declared, that
" ladies are always in good spirits when they go to amil-
liner's to choose a bonnet." Here we have a valuable
recipe, which may be of great use to those gentlemen,
whose ladies are troubled with ennui and the sullens.
Like most applications for the health of " these delicate
creatures," however, it is expensive. We believe the
efficacy is not confined to bonnets. Ladies love to be
purchasing, and we doubt not, if they., were permitted to
spend their days in shopping, their smiles would be
perpetual.
A NO THE R BURGLARY AT SOUTHWRAXALL.
—Early on the Monday morning preceding the late
robbery, the house of Mr. Rose, of Hay rm, near
Winsley, was broken into by three or four men. It ap-
pears that they came into the bed-room of Mr. Rose
•with a lighted candle, armed with bludgeons ; and one
of them, approaching his bedside, threatened his life if
he made a noise, while the others ransacked the drawers
and stole several silver spoons. Two powerful young
men, sons of Mr. Rose, slept in an adjoining room,
but he did not alarm them until long after the thieves
had decamped. A man named Roberts, a clock and.
watchmaker of Bath, has been apprehended with part
of the stolen plate in his possession ; and, through
the vigilance of the police officers of -the district,
four men are now in custody upon charges of being con-
cerned in the robbery, and it is expected that others wilt
shortly be secured. When the house of Roberts, in,
Abbey-green, was searched, clothes of all sizes and des-.
criptions were found therein, well adapted for the pur-
poses for which they were,nodoubt, intended—disguises
for thieves. They consisted of grooms., farmers', working
mechanics', and " swell" dresses ; in short, it may be
truly said, that in the collection will be found dresses of
every kind and colour, by which a thief could in a few
moments be so completely metamorphosed, as to render
identification very questionable. The most searching
inquiries are being instituted, and we hope' neat week
will record the capture of all connected with the robbery.
LEIPZIC FAIR.—On the first of this month
the celebrated fair at Leipzic commenced. It is for the
sale of manufacted goods and for pleasure, but the
business itself commences three or four days earlier..
This, like all the German fairs that are of commercial in,-
terest, last three weeks. This fair at New Year wan
first proclaimed in 1458, and the concourse of merchants
from various countries is very great. The value of the
goods sold at the different Leipzic fairs, in one year, was
estimated, a few years ago at upwards of 3,000,000/. ster-
ling, exclusive of the value of the books then disposed Of:.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT WITH FIRIC
Artafs.—On Monday last, as Mr. Thomas Whitford, the
son of Mr. Whitford, attorney, of St. Columb, was
amusing himself with some other lads on a shooting ex-
cursion, about a mile from the town, on getting over a.
hedge the gun accidentally went off, and literally blew
his -head to atoms. The unfortunate young man was
about seventeen years of age.— West Briton.
EVASION ON THE TOLLS BY SIR EDWARD
KNATCHBULL.—The appeal of Sir Edward Knatchbuli
from the conviction of the Magistrates for evading the
turnpike tolls, was yesterday taken at Canterbury. After
Counsel had been heard, the conviction was confirmed
by the Recorder, who observed that if the Right Hon.
Baronet were dissatisfied he might appeal to the Court
of queen's Bench.

SPIRIT. of the PUBLIC JOUIBALS,

FROM Tit .EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—When a Cabinet Minister delivers a set
speech-Co Ins constiteents, and mskes the position and
policy of the Government of which he is a member the
eni,ject. matters of his speech, such a production claims
attentien froth the press, no lees from the responsible
station of its author, than from the interest which the
public: has in the intimations it givas of the intentions of
the Government with -respect to the measures it de-
s;gns to submit to the Legislature for piecing the great
if:remits of the country en a basis calculated to pre-
serve them front injury, endtostcare their advancement.
This would hold good with respect to any indiv dual
member et the Cabinet at any fine. But when the
public feeling is wrought up to an extraordinary pitch
of painful excitement by commercial embarrassments,
my Aving widely-spread privations and seerings
throughout every branch ofi our national manifaeturemanufacture',and when the previously hermetically-sealed In'eotions

f the Gatern
ent, as to the required changes in our
s) stem of co'snmerciel policy, to whtch, in a
.censt.l..e-
-rahle degree, those embarrassments rind sufferings are
referred, he se produced a craving aft!n•information as
to the plans the new Governinent designs to propose.
for meeting the deficiency in the revenue and for re-
lieving the national distress, a speech from Sir James
Graham to his assembled constituents will be regarded
a; little le:s that. oracular. Ile has, in former days,
written and spoken much and wed on the "insane and
cruel pelie) "of etc Cora-laws. T.1,-)se very lave which,
in Corn and Currency, he had denounced as fraught
with ell imaginable mischiefs to the country, in his
speech to his conetituents last autama were eulo-
gised as the tic plus ultra of hum in wisdom, the per-
fection of legislation, to touch which would endanger
the very sustenance of the people. Agitated as the
country is on this vital question—a question which in-
volves the existence of the Government, and, what is
of greater importance, the revival of its trade and com-
merce and the supply of food, as the reward of labour,
to millions of its peopl e it is the only natural result of
Sir J. Graham's reputation as a political economist, and
• of his position as a member of the Government, which
has obtained of ee by defeating the late Ministers
on the questions of Free Trade as opposed to existing
monopolies, that his speech at Dorchester, at such a
time, should be regarded by all parties with deep
earnestness. Such was the feeling with which we ap-
plied ourselves to the perusal of the Right Honourable
Baronet's address. If we asset that the production is
anything but calculated to realise the expectations
crested by its pretensions, we do so with regret,
We wish, for the sake of the Right Honourable
Baronet himself, and especially for. the sake of the
public, which has been deluded into the indulgence of
hopes which have proved fallacies, that it had been
otherwise ; that, instead of being a vague, frothy, un-
meaning effasion—a string of sentences uttered evi:h a
manifest intention of concealing, instead of revealing,
the designs of the Government with respect to its fiscal
and financial schemes, it had given some specific inti-
mation of its policy—some glimpse of hope amid the
pressure of national calamity—some ray of light from
the Treasury, by which the public, long left under the
dominion of those fears which darkness is calculated to
engender, and the perplexity and doubt which uncer-
tainty produces, might shape its course of opinion and
of act, or at least be sust lined until the Premier shall
be pleased to reveal the grand Ministerial remedy for
the deeply seated and widely-spread calamities of the
country. Instead of this, however, we find Sir James
Graham copying the bad example of his Chief. Sir
Robert Peel at 'rarnworth is the copy which Sir James
Graham at Dorchester strives to imitate.
STANDARD.—The speech of Sir James Graham,
at Dorchester, is naturally enough made the subject of
ill-natured comments by the Opposition journals. The
Right Honourable Baronet could scarcely anticipate
that it would escape, and on the whole he has reason
to be satisfied that his unfriendly critics can find so little
in his address upon which to fix even plausible reproach.
Le t fixed with inconsistency through the whole of
one's life, is a debt that must be paid by every man
who does not sell himself absolutely to party, if it
has been his misfortune to set out in- bad company.
No proof that he has always maintained his princi-
ples inviolate, and that it. is in the maintenance of his
original principles be has been separated from his first
associates, will acquit a man, ,so circumstanced,
of a seeming tergiversation : his enemies will say,
and- the vulgar will be too ready to believe, that he is
always a deserter who is not always found in the
same ranks. This is the fate of all men who
act with the integrity and courage with which
Sir James Graham has acted ; and doubtless the
Right Honourable Baronet made up his mind
to undergo this fate seven years ago. It is curious,
however, and it is a circumstance of which Sir James
may well be proud, that in seven years, during which
he has been the object of const tat attack on the score
of inconsistency, a single charge of dereliction of
principle Las not been substantiated, or, as far as we
can remember, even advanced against him. All that
malignere can allege is, that he has not followed in the
tortuous serpentine path of Lords Melbourne and John
Russell—now resisting reform, now proposing it—now
de'eading the Corn-laws as what it would be madness
even to think of . disturbing-, now calling for a Tercel
of these. same laws—now denouncing Mr. Daniel
O'Conne:l as the public 'enemy, now licking the
feet of that individual as the bulwark of 0-.1 Go-
vern's-it:tit and the Threnc itself. This path Sir
Janet could not keep, because he chose to walk
in a straight one, and, therefore, he inevitably fell
out of the ranks of his e irly associates. Sir
James began a Reformer ; aided in carrying
the great me isuro to whieh he was committed from
his outset in life ; and having aided in carrying reform,
he properly took his place wilt those by whom reform
is defended from its Saturnian parents—Saturnian in
every sense—who would destroy it. There is no real
inconsistency in this ; the inconsistency lies with those
who propose an opposite course. We hare said so
much upon this print, beeauee, in fact, nine-tenths of
the cernments upon Sir James Graham's speech resolve
theinstlve: into attacks upon the personal consistency
of the speak. r.
COURIER.—We are daily assured by the dogmatic
dolts of the Anti-Corn law Le tgue that the unrestricted
adtnission of the corn of foreign States wouhl be met
by the unrestricted right of et.try of cottons and wool-
lens
-into those States in return. The Smiths and the
Cobdens answer for foreign State; with an assurance
and stolidity as imperturbable as if facuitatel with ple-
nary posers to conclude in their behalf, and with orders
in their pockets for super calicoes and broad cloths as re-
turning cargo,on the moment that, throueli the surpassing
eIT et of their eloquence, the Legislature should, to use
n Scotch phrase, be concussed into it surrender of fie
Corn laws. If, however, we come to 11,..k for a sight of
these powers, ail that we can arrive at is, that Smith has
the word of 11).vring for the fac', wlylsr Cobden—proud
of mare direct associetiorat—et quaints us that his au-
thority derivr s from certain understrappers of the Foreign-
office at Berlin, whom he used casually to meet at some..
cheap atreer kraut eating-house in that cardital when on
lt's travels ; for Cobden is a travel e I calico painter, if
not legislat es ; and nit hough as innocent as the babe
unborn of an.y acquintance with foreign idioms, and
hat senivi'y conversit.t with his own, yet he core
tiived,liy a simple process of his own, to penetrate t:Le
mysteries of Cabinet if he is to be believed, so
5.5 to be able to; redieate their iweations in a given
cajc._ nom his unhesitating confidence of speech
and maener we should be inclined to s.uspect that
ail the wisdom of Sussex was conceeirsted in thi3
curie Mr. Cobden, who acqe tints us that in that county
ha dates his hirth and traces his leirage, but un-
fortunately for him it seems that ins is no prophet in his
own ,county at le te, for we happen to know sorpe
respectable people thereabouts who utterly disclaim
him and his pr. tensions. Ile is clearly much mare at
home in the regions of cotton waste and the H.:ideate
than in the more enlightened land of his n rtivity, where
Arch„f .y hz• was reglrdeti in the rightful character of a
bare, if not the boor he is anxious to pass for.

CORNWALL EL EC TION.—The Liberal free-
hohlvrs uf West Cornwall are, 'we hope, already fully
alive to the importance Of an immediate selection of a
candidate to represent the interests of that division in
Parliament. Several names have been mentioned,
among them that of Sir Charles Lemon, for re-election ;
Sir W. Molesworth, -and Mr liobartes' the nephew of
the Hon, Lady Agar. We trust that the Reformers will
be united in eir.icc and aetion in the struggle to regain
their recently lost grohnd, for a struEt•gle they will have
to encounter v. the moncTolists.
ACCIDENT TO LORD It ENDLESII AM.— On
Wethiesday last Lord Rendlesham, whilst out shooting,
met With a seriou.; misfortune from the accidental dis•
ellaege of one of the'berrels of his gun, uhich went off
his LiiriLhip was in the act. of leading the other
barrel, the charge passing through the-right hand, be-.
tween the forefinger and thumb, and slightly grazing
the side of his face. The finger VA'S. so severely injured
that immediate amputation was necessary. The thick
part Of- the hand Is also considerably injured, but the
thumb escaped without injury. The accounts from
Rendteshani House last night report that his Lordship
is going on favourably. •
ANTI-CORN-LAW MEDALS.—Mr. Davis, of
Birmingham, has designed and executed a spirited and
charadteristic medal, suitable for Anti-Corn-law Asso-
ciatiam • On the obverse site is the emblematic figure
4)f justice, holding her balance over the column of the
Anti-Corn-law League; upon which her mantle rests.
Motto; 6' Undo the heavy burdens, deal thy bread to the
hungry." On the left is a group of once prosperous and
happy. artisans, reduced to misery and distress by the
oppressive and unjust Corn and Provision laws, appealing'
to justice for redress, that they may earn their daily
bread: On the right is the pampered personification of
monopoly, deaf to the cries of the hungry, anxiously
fearing the interference of justice, straining in his selfish
grasp the emblems of abundance. On the reverse side
in tliefuregiound, the monster monopoly is overthrown,
bound hand and foot, still grasping in his hand the rem-
nants .of his once cherished Corn and Trovision laws.
The happy results of unrestricted industry are exhibited
by the active exchange of produce and , bustling cam-
merce; plenty and domestic comfort enlivens the surface
of sea and land. Motto, " Free Trade with all the
worki."—Manchester Times.
