NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

FROM TEE :MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.—Up to
ten o'clock last night the rain descended in torrents, and
no hopes of a change ; change, however, it did, and with
a vengeance, for after midnight the rain was succeeded
by a sharp frost (for which, by the way; the " early
woodcock" paragraphs ought to have prepared us), and
the morning broke with a bright sky and a clear search-
ing wind. The racing was a full average in quantity,
and three of the events furnished good fields for specu-
lation.-The first decided was _ _

CHRON ICLE.—The intelligence conveyed in
the letter of our Berlin Correspondent is truly of
a most important character. Representatives
from the different provinces of Prussia have as-
sembled within her capital, called by the King
to deliberate in Council on the collective interests
of the nation. It weds remarked by Machiavel,
that while in his time the Italians, Spaniards,
and French were little regulated in their con-
duct by correct moral principles ; the Germans,
on the other hand, were remarkable for their
honesty. And he cites, as one proof of their
singular honesty, the fact, that the different Im-
perial towns provided for their expenses by a tax
on property, each citizen being allowed the pri-
vilege of secret assessment and payment, and
that the sum raised always corresponded with
the estimate. The Germans are still distin-
guished for their honesty; and though there is
a great deal of over-government in all the
States, and many 'things are done for the
people which they ought to be allowed to do for
themselves, yet almost all intelligent foreigners,
who have resided any time in Germany, are
agreed in opinion that the different rulers are,
for the most part, well-intentioned, and that the
people do practically enjoy most of the advan-
tages of the social union. The Government of
Prussia has always been considered absolute;
but the Government has always been considered
not only enlightened, but mild. No man in
Prussia entertains the slightest apprehension,
that so long as his conduct is irreproachable' his
person anti—property are not perfectly secure.
The most perfect confidence is reposed in the ad-
ministration of justice. In many, many respects, •
England might take a lesson from Prussia: One
great cause of the content in Prussia is,-that no
class vested .with the power of trampling on
other classes. There is not= one law: for the
rich and another for the p00r... Still .such -a•
government is defective. With the best inten-
tions, its measures may not be the best calculated
to promote the prosperity of the people. It is
proper that those who are to be affected by laws
and regulations, should have a voice with re-
spect to them. The first step towards remedy-
ing this defect, is taken in the assembling of
a national council at Berlin. The mode ofchoos-
ing the representatives, and the extent of powers
committed to them, cannot be gathered from the
letter of our Correspondent. The objects, how-
ever, on which they are called to deliberate are
of the very first importance—the reduction of
taxes, the establishment of a general system of
railroads, and the regulation of river communi-
cations. The late King of Prussia promised a
representative constitution to his subjects. With-
out attempting to defend the non-fulfilment of
the promise, we may
.observe that, 'in a country
like Prussia, formed of provinces connected only
by being under one head, and inhabited by diffe-
rent races of men, with powerful neighbours on
every side, it was not unnatural that the King
should dread the taking a step which he could
not retrace, whatever the consequences. Time
may have done much to cement the Prussian Mo-
narchy, and to dispel the causes of apprehension
which weiglied with the former King. Be this as
it may, the present Sovereign has by this import-
ant step given a proof of the confidence which
he reposes in his people. We trust the experi-
ment will be attended with the success which it
so eminently deserves—and that Sovereign and
people will be united more closely by a measure
which can have originated only in an honest
wish to contribute to the welfare of the nation.
There is in the letter of our Correspondent an
allusion to the indifferent success with which
constitutional experiments have been made in
France. The observation would have been ap-
propriate after the trial of the Prussian experi-
ment. It is certainly true, however, that our
French neighbours seem to move very awkwardly
in constitutional harness. What Mr. Dickens
says of the Americans, may, with far more truth,
be applied to the French—they repose no trust
in one another. The genius of restlessness seems
to have possession of them. It was observed of
them by a great historian of a country which
suffered much from their interference, namely,
Switzerland, that the French could neither be
happy themselves, nor'allow any other people to
be happy. To other nations France is a subject
of painful interest—of apprehension. This will
be attended with one good effect : it will force
the Germans to have constantly present to their
minds the necessity of being united among
themselves.
TIMES.—It is, of course, with the greatest
difficulty that any one not practically versed in
the politics of Canada can pronounce an opinion
upon the late important step of Sir Charles
Bagot, in calling to his councils men so notorious
for past indisposition to the British Government
as those who have lately accepted office with
such circumstances of triumph. One thing alone
is, certain—that it is the commencement of a new
era in colonial government. It is a great expe-
riment, perhaps forced upon Sir Charles Bagot
by the policy of his predecessors, but certainly
ot a most novel character, and the issue of which
can only be loaked to with the most extreme
anxiety and diffidence. We have already ob-
served upon the desirableness lc admitting the
French population of Lower Canada to a larger
share in the government of that colony than has
been hitherto conceded them. Many circum-
stances recommend such a course. Their own
simple and honest character—their mere numeri-
cal importance—their indisposition to the alliance
of our encroaching and untrustworthy neighbours
of the United States—all these circumstances
point them out as fit recipients of a share, and
a substantial one, of political power and in-
fluence. This, the late Act of Union of 1840,
unpopular as it at first was with them, has at
once given them. That Act conferred on a body
of people not, we believe, at heart indisposed to
the British protection, but still fermenting from
the effects ot late popular excitement, a prepon-
derance in the popular assembly of Canada. Not
only this, but the theory of a responsible go-
vernment was established. The result may prove
auspicious; we are willing to hope the best. But
it is a somewhat ominous consequence of this new
order of things that the Governor is compelled
to call to his councils, on their own terms, men
who have lately been proscribed, or in prison ;
and that the choice of individuals is justified
upon the ground that the leaders of the French
party, now predominant, were all in the same
scrape, and that if any influential Frenchman
at
all is now to aid in the Government of Canada, it
must necessarily be one of those who were trai-
tors or suspected a few years back. The outset
is nnfortunate; not, we believe, from the fault of
Sir Charles Bagot or the present Government,
but from the indiscretion of those who have pre-
cipitated this revolution, who have left to their
successors no choice between so perilous a risk as
the present, and the still more daring alterna-
tive of suspending the fresh Canadian constitution,
and supporting that suspension by the bayonets of
the British soldiery, and the physical energy of
a fraction of the inhabitants. We are told,
that by these concessions the affections of the
French are for ever bound to the British Govern-
ment, and that our troops may be withdrawn
from Canada with no longer delay than is neces-
sary to find room for them in England. Such is
usually the language of those who are gaining
their point. This momentary popularity may
indeed be the attendant upon a bold and well-
timed policy, but it may be the equally natural
result of a weak and imprudent concession.
Which it is, the future must decide. Two re-
marks only we would venture before concluding.
One is this—that the present arrangements offer
little prospect of permanence. Between the
English ultra-Reformers and the French colo-
nists there is no real community of interest or
principle. The patriarchal habits of the latter,
their unenterprising though industrious charac-
ters, their prejudices, simplicity, and native re-
finement of feeling, render them no natural allies
of the active, pushing, independent, money-
making English Radical ; and any con-
tinued union between two such parties,
however possible • in the loose warfar.e
of
opposition, can neither be hoped nor feared
from them when engaged in the prac-
tical details of legislation and administra-
tion. The present coalition is a mere transition
state; we shall have another shuffling of the

The plan of this Office will be found to comprise all the
solid advantages of Life Assurance.
Persons have the option of Insuring upon the Return or
Non-Return Systems; and the Tables, which include Ascend-
ing and Descending Scales of Premium, have been framed to
suit the convenience of all parties.
The Rates have recently been reduced agreeably to the
most approved calculations, and there being verified by the ex-
perience of the Office during forty years, are as low as consis-
tent with safety; those adapted to the RETURN SYSTEM
entitle its assured to an equitable participation in the surplus
premium, according to the plan detailed in the Company's
Prospectus.
The Assured under both Systems will possess the guarantee
of a large Paid-up Capital, and the further security of a re-
sponsible body of Proprietors, without being exposed to the
liabilities of partnership.
Policies are purchased on liberal terms when the object of au
assurance is effected ;—or, loans will be granted thereon to the
extent of five-sixths of such purchase-money.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
WOOLWICH, OCT. 26.—The Dee steam-vessel,
Master Commander T. Driver, is expected to sail
from Woolwich about the Ist of next month for the
West Indies, and will embark at the Dockyard here
Ceptain Trevor's company, 2d battalion, and Captain
Griffin's company, Bth battalion, for a passage to Bar-
badoes, to relieve Major Haultain's company, 7th bat-
talion, and Captain Griffiths's company, :id battalion,
their period of service at that station having expired;
the former having left Woolwich on the Bth of-March,
and the latter on the Ist of May, 1837, rendering
their services in the West Indies about five years and
a half. Captain Trevor's company was inspected at
the Hospital on the 11th instant, and found a fine body
of men. Captain Griffiths's company 'returned from
Ireland on the 4th: inst., and.was inspected on the 6th
on the guard-mounting parade by Colonel Paterson.
Captain Hennis has joined, and is doing duty at
Woolwich until the embarkation of the troops in the
Dee, when he will also embark, and proceed to join
his company, at present at Barbadoes ; but, from its
period of service there, it is probable it will be re-
lieved next year.
The Sultana, Arab ship-of-war, undergoing a coni-
plete renovation in the basin of the Woolwich Dock-
yard, is now nearly completed, and is expected to sail
ahout the end of next week. This is the vessel which
brought the beautiful little horses and other presents
from the Imaum of Muscat to her Majesty some time
ago. The British Government have been very liberal
in providing for the crew three months' provisions of rice,
sugar, cheese, and such other necessaries as the scru-
ples of the Mahomedans and castes of the Persians on
board will permit them to accept, having been put on
board. They will not accept of any animal food, as
they only eat such as are killed by one of the crew.
The number of sailors and slaves belonging to the
vessel is upwards of 40, and they have a pilot captain,
as they term him, who denominates himself a citizen of
America, as his wife and children reside there, al-
though he has been in the service of the Imaum up-
wards of ten years. The pilot captain is, however,
properly a Scotchman, having, as he says, been born
i
Fife ;" but, like many other
members
ttr3, resolved to earn an honest

anytnpeark o'
he,
part of
ofn
world where his lot might
'be cast, and appears quite contented with his present
situation, although it is rather a heavy charge to be
responsible for the native captain and crew. The
mullam, or mate, has got married to an English-
woman since he came to this country, and the na-
kador, or native captain, went to the parish church of
Woolwich this morning to be married to a young girl
from Deptford, with whom he had become acquainted
at the time his vessel was lying there. The Rev. Mr.
Greenlaw put several questions to the girl, and ascer-
tained that she was an orphan, and had no relations
alive, and, therefore, he at once declined to perform
the ceremony as the nakador could not speak one
word of English. The worthy clergyman also stated
to the girl that he would not marry her unless he was
perfectly satisfied the native captain understood,
through an interpreter, the nature and objects of the
ceremony, and feelingly pointed out to the intending
bride the probable usage she might expect in a foreign
land. Whether the parties are married by this time
is not known ; but they left Woolwich in the forenoon
for 'Deptford, with the view of being married there.
In answer to a question put by the pilot captain, one
of the natives stated that the nakador had two wives
in his own country already.
The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have
ordered ten anchors to be put on board the Sultana,
for the Imaum, and the Board of Ordnance ten 12-
pounder carronades, besides several other presents by
order of her Majesty. The whole of the vessel has
been newly rigged and painted; but the crew appear
very dirty, although they daily pour buckets full of
water over their heads, in compliance with the injunc-

CCAUTION TO FAMILIES.—The high repu-
IL/ tation, and consequently, great demand, for the under-
mentioned Preparations, have excited the cupidity of some
SHOP-KEEPERS, of apparent respectability, but destitute
alike of honour and talent, who,: for the sake of gaining
a trifle more profit, basely attempt to impose their pernicious
compounds upon the Public as the real " MACASSAR
OIL. ' for the Hair, and" KALYDOR" for the Complexien;
they copy the bills and labels of the original articles, substi-
tuting either a FICTITIOUS NAME, or the word
" GENUINE" in the place of "ROWLAND'S."
To frustrate suck imposition, it is necessary, on purchasing
either article, to see that the word " ROWLAND'S" is on
the wrapper, as follows, without which none are Genuine.
ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL,

Prioe 3s. 6d., is. ; or Family Bottles (containing four small),
10s. 6d. ; and double that size, 21s. per bottle.
To ensure the genuine article, the words " Rowland's
Macular Oil" are engravers on the back of the label nearly
1,500 times, containing 29,028 letters.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,
For the Skin and Complexion. Price 4s. €d. and Bs. 61

per bottle.
A. ROWLAND & SON, 20, HATTON GARDEN,
LONDON, is written in red, on the wrappers of each, and
engraven on the Government stamp affixed on the Kalydor.
Be sure to ask for " ROWLAND'S " Articles. Sold by
them, and by respectable Chemists and Perfumers.

have rec'ived from ,be use of lair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills I
have for several years been afflicted with Rti,umatise: and Gout,
attacks of which were excessively-severe. During one of these pain.
ful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills,
from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en-
,irely recovered. At a stibequent pe,ioa I was so severely attacked
that I thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself ender me.

again la came my own physicia,,. At this time my legs and thighs
were swelled to a very great extent. I immediately procured a box
of tilair's Pills from Mr VV. Phillips, your ..•gcnt in thi. town, and after
taking wo doses l was free from pain, and tie swelling subsided. I
now netve fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painful
mated,. al.(' they invariably give me relief after one or two doses.
Several of my acquaintances use them, and experien, e the same he.

CONSECRATION OF A ROMAN CATIIOLIC BISHOP.
—The Right Rev. Dr. Francis Russell Nixon, who
was consecrated a few weeks since, will not be the
only prelate who will leave England for the
distant diocese of Tasmania, or Van Diemen's
Land. The Roman Catholics have selected one of
their priests who is to be consecrated next
Friday. The ceremony, which will be a very
mposing one, is to be performed at St. Chad s
Cathedral. Church, Birmingham. His Grace the
Archbishop of Sydney is to be the consecrating Pre-
late, and will be assisted by the Right Reverend
Doctors Wiseman and Walsh, both Bishops of the
Roman Catholic Church. Dr. Wiseman has under-
taken to preach the sermon on the occasion. The
Bishop-elect is the Rev. Dr. 'Willson ; his title will be

ment notice was inserted in the. Police Gazette, offer-

jesty's Government, 251. by the township of Bebbing-

understand them, of doubt,whether the Act of
the Imperial Legislature is conclusively binding
on the colonies without the additional sanction of
the colonial ratification. If this is to be the tone
of the coalition, speedy be its dissolution; for
such a spirit administering the affairs of the
colony on the principle now apparently
Con-
ceded of " responsible," that is, in fact, inde-
pendent, local government, would be indeed a
dangerous enemy to the Home authority ; as the
shrewd Yankee press has found out, telling us,
with some admixture of contempt, that however
generous, however worthy of a new era in go-
vernment, that principle may be, it is palpably
at variance with the laws of colonial empire, and.
must disable us from holding that empire to-
gether one year after it has ceased to be sup-
ported by the most palpable and present coinci-
dence of interests.
HERALD.—We have never a moment doubt-
ed, indeed we have incessantly proclaimed, that
the soil of these islands, cultivated with all the
enterprise which capital, knowledge, and neces-
sity are sure to beget, was capable of maintain-
ing a much larger population than the present.
At the great national agricultural meeting held
during the summer at Bristol, every practical,
every scientific authority gave assurance of this
capability—not as a result to be attained by
boundless expenditure, and as a world's wonder
only, but by the profitable investment of capital,
by careful and judicious outlay, and as an every-
day working result. These assertions, doubtless,
sounded strangely and incredibly on the ears of
the backward agriculture of many southern Eng-
lish counties; but their truthfulness and accuracy
were manifest to all acquainted with agriculture
in the Lothians of Scotland, or on the banks of
the Tweed ; and yet how much is there yet
that remains undone even in those well-
farmed districts, though tile-draining, . sub-
soil ploughing, and new manures are still
increasing their production. Now there is not'
an English county which might .not have its
Lothians, as there is not one but which will, if
landlords and tenants be wise and true to them-
selves, have its Lothians. The Scotch and north
of England farmers, it is notorious, care far less
about Corn-law protection than do their brethren
in the south, because their enterprise and spirit
have actually made them far more independent
thereof; and yet it is a well-known fact 'that
Northumberland farmers have to struggle
against lower prices and inferior quality of grain.
We are not, in stating these facts, advocating
diminished protection to native agriculture;
but we do assert that the . smaller the pro-
tection the farmers can cultivate with the

better for themselves and the country ; that
energy is worth more to them than high
duties ; and equalisation of public burdens is the
justest demand they have on the Legislature.
We claim for these views identity with the opi-
nions of the most intelligent landlords and the
most successful tenants; and amongst all the
recent proceedings of agricultural meetings, we
have noticed none more satisfactory than those
of two which have been lately holden at Saffron
Walden and Hereford. The tone of the speeches
at either was just what it ought to be in times
like the present; there was no expression of de-
spair uttered, every sentence was full of mutual
encouragement or confidence. The puerilites of
the Morning Post were contemptuously noticed
as specimens of the ignorance of men who write
about what they do not understand ; and we so-
licit attention to the speeches of Lords Bray-
brooke and Carnarvon, and Sir John Tyrell, at
Saffron Walden, and of Mr. Barneby and Sir
Robert Price at Hereford, as completely con-
firmatory of the opinions we have expressed.
