'TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Swum—A Second Letter to the Knee, (Ma our dhtingtdalted
Correspondent. to-morrow.

KsAv.—Although this admired and admirable Actor stands in
no need of defence from the shafts of anouymons malignity, and
though he Is, by the common consent of an, the recognised Mo.
MARCH of Modern Tragedy—without a rival near him—we shall
publish with much pleasure the Letter of Jrnss OLD RAM
tomorrow.

An account of the Cumberland County Meeting will
be found in another column. We said on Saturday last,
that all the Counties in England would assemble before
Me first of March, and we have little doubt that our anti-
cipation will prove correct. The country never was in such
a state as it is now, from one extremity to the other ; and it
is only within two months, that—goaded at last to utter-
ance ,by its no longer endurable afflictions—it seems to have
burst the bonds which held it in its leaden lethargy. When
the Representatives of the People meet—we do not use
the term in derision, though it is almost impossible to con-
ceal our keen perception of its ironical convertibility—we
shall see whether any remedy is proposed. We hardly
think that Parliament will be so mad—sufficiently cor-
rupt, we know it is—to set its breast against the rising
storm. If it be, let it take heed to itself—for great
institutions may perish in the concussion.
Parliament is on the eve of re-assembling : with what
anxiety its first demonstration is looked for, the thicken-
ing petitions and addresses of the people will best explain.
If the Noble DUKE meets the Houses as Prime Mi-
nister, it is already understood by whom the Addresses
are to be moved, and seconded ; and we cannot forbear
from remarking, that our announcement of those names
—especially that of the Noble Lord, who is to move the
Address in the Commons—has created a moat unquiet
sensation on the score of certain adherences, which are
thought to be implied in that announcement. We will

not indulge here--since the iclaircissement is so close
at hand—in any ungracious anticipations : tho Noble
Dux E, we doubt not, has made some conversions, or
else he is preparing to resign. In the mean time, it
gratifies us to learn that the connexion of Lord CLEVE-
LAND with our military government does not involve
the independence of Mr. BROUG it AM. If, indeed, ever,
a crisis has arrived, in which the splendid talents and
comprehensive mind of the member for Winchelsea might
accomplish inconceivable things for the country, that crisis
;snow. Wlteu it was intimated to the Noble MARQUIS that
the circumstance of Lord DARLINGTON voting the.
Address, might induce a belief thatihe wished to shackle
the opinions and sentiments of those who are indebted
to him for seats in the Honourable House, he disclaimed
—as we understand Lord GROSVENOR has done dw—
ell thought of such an unconstitutional influence.
However therefore, the old Whip must lament
a species of coalition, which they consider injurious
to the beat interests of England—as well as de-
rogatory. front the honour of their own body—it
is but fair to confess that these Noble Lords might have
availed themselves wore perniciously of their fatal pri-
vilege. With regard to the. young Duke of BuccuivoH,
we are bound to suspend all judgment till he is fairly
before the public.

We cannot close these brief and hurried observations,
without expressing our hope that Honourable Members
will cast aside—in such a time as this—all ambition for
rhetorical display, and speak tersely, and plainly to the
points on which they address themselves. Long-winded
speeches only bore the House, and imbarrass its pro-
ceedings, even in the pleamantest condition of things : but
now, when. the impatience out of doors is commensurate
with the vital interests to be debated within, we trust
that res—non verba—will be the order of the day.

We invited the attention of our readers some days ago,
to the deplorable condition of the starving multitudes who
crowd the streets of the metropolis, and wander about the
avenues reading to it. ' A correspondent has since sug-
gested that Parochial instead of Public Meetings, would
be much more likely, to diminish the evil of which we
complained. In noticing the vast extent of mendicity
throughout the country, we asked Ott was the use of
oar institutions and boasted liberties, if they gave rise to
a state of society; which only steeps Oa lower classes
deeper in • poverty• ..and.. indigence • than the • geoids
of any other nation on' earth ? We also asked, and

the Theatres of Paris are thrown open for the relief of

the poor, to whom houses of refuge have been granted

the Minister of Police, it is melancholy to re-

Sect, that not a single effort hes been -made
to stay the torrent of mendicity in this metropolis,
or relieve those who are hourly perishing from absolute
famine. It would seem as if all the virtues were flying
the land, and those who possess the means of being
charitable only thought of themselves. We .conclude
these remarks with an extract from the Report of a
meeting of Magistrates, held at Wellingborough, on
Friday last : appalling as the picture is, it conveys but
a faint idea of that far greater desolation, which has fallen
on the metropolitan and manufacturing poor.
"A report of their condition, their pallid and miserable
appearance, and an examination into their circumstances,
excited feelings of horror and sympathy in every person
present. The report was taken from the minutes of one
of the Magistrates, who had kindly taken the trouble to
visit their abodes of misery, want, and wretchedness. He
stated, that in one apartment of the miserable hovel called
the workhouse, he found nineteen human beings, of va-
rious ages, and of both sexes, huddled together, who,
during the late very inclement weather, had but one bed-
stead, and only two half worn out blankets among them
all, and without sufficient clothing to hide their naked-
ness ! Amongst them was an infant about a month old
It appeared that two or three of the children bad a pair of
their father's small clothes for a bed, and his coat or jacket
for a covering I Other revolting details were made."
We call the attention of the Public to some facts in
our first page, relative to the Finances and State of
Crime in Spain. They will serve at once as a reply to
the puffs and falsehoods which are continually making
their appearance on this subject, as well as to furnish
another striking proof that poverty and vice are the never-
failing, accompaniments of superstition and tyranny.

Consols left off yesterday afternoon very heavy, at 92 for the
Account, and opened this morning at 921 to 93 for the Account ;
since which they have been done at 93. At present they are 921 1.
This decline is attributed by tome of the Morning Journals to the

determination of the Bank Directors yesterday not to interfere
with the Ministers in the reduction of the Four per Cents. AU
that we can state on this subject is, that no person is as yet ac-
quainted with the intentions of Ministers on that subject ; as it is
well known that they are very secret in all their actions, and will
act according to the price of Consols when the period arrives foe
their financial operations.

Money is so abundant at present, that persons who have sold out
their Stock have no employment for it; consequently, they are
watching the market to get Into Stock again.

The Foreign Market is inactive as yet, and prices are nearly the
same as yesterday.
We have no arrivals of consequence. The French Mails arrived
late, and the letters and papers have not yet been delivered.

Quebec Papers to the 44th December, and Port-au.Prince Pa-
pers to the 30th November, have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house. The former state, from the Mi.
ramiehl Papers, that the timber at several of the most extensive
points In the river and gulf of St. Lawrence will be In great sup -
ply in the Spring. The Port-au-Prince Papers contain no news.
Accounts from New Orleans state that hundreds of young men,
mechanics and clerks, from the North, ate out of employment
there, and wages are very low.
HAVANSAN, Dec. 12.—A1l vessels clearing after the Ist of Ja-
nuary Next with full cargoes of molasses, will be entitled to a
drawback of two dollars per ton of the tonnage mosey. There
will be no export duty collected on molasses after that time, and
vessels are permitted to load at any of the out-ports by coming
back here to clear.

Accounts from Buenos Ayres, of the 411th October, state that
the newt from the interior provinces still breetbes war. It is stated
that a re-action had taken place near blendosa ; that the Federal
party bad succeeded in entering the city, and obliged the Governor
lately appointed to capitulate. Several lives had been lost.
HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.

This day and to-morrow being a holiday at the Bank, the Bears
have rallied and taken the field again, as oo money transfers cm
take place durlog the above days; in consequence of which the
Bulls are acting on the defensive, waiting for the opening of the
Money Market. Consols have been 92j for the Account during
the morning, alternately buyers and sellers, with little doing. It is
again reported, with some confidence, that the Four per Cents.
will be reduced when Ministers approve of the price of the Funds.
We also boar that there is something going forward for the pay-
ment of the Portuguese Dividend ; but on this subject we cannot
aset state any thing positive.
In the Foreign Market Portuguese Bonds have improved, but
Columbian Stock has lowered, owing to the unfavourable accounts
from that quarter.
Accounts via France this morning state, that Don Miguel has
sot an Envoy to his Brother, who sailed for Rio Janeiro on the
Oh. it is presumed on the important mission. There was a great
aro at Lisbon, which consumed part of thcstreet Capetistas. Don
Miguel proceeded there in person.
According to the French Papers, it appears that a duel took
place between the two Editors of the National and Dropouts Naas
en Sunday last. The Editor of the Aspens Mane was slightly
wounded.
Accounts from Madrid speak of a Loan contracted with a home
at Paris, for the use of an expedition. It is said that the Consuls
at various places are to be suppressed, and that the Secretaries of
the different Ambassadors are to supply their places.
