whatever in proportioning the strength of the con-1

posed ; and every competent engineer knows how to
provide safety valves or tubes to relieve the pressure
when it has reached the intended maximum.

Any thing like Parliamentottrisearference can pro-
duce only Mischief. Broverleglslating, instead of
Living lives, they will end.inger thitexistence of thou-
sands, by depriving them of the means of subsistence;
and do incalculable mischief to numerous mine
proprietors and landholders. Let the motives of
those who urge such interference be thoroughly
weighed, and they will be found to rest either on ig-
, norance; or, what is worse, on sinister views of private
interest.

The question of the Exportation of Cotton Yarns
was alsoiast night brought before the Hand by Sir
0. Hoene presenting a Petition from the Merchants
I and others interested in the exportation of Cotton
Piece Goods. The Petition, after alluding to the
extent to which this manufacture had been carried,
and the great capital embarked in it in this country,
states, that Foreigners are now in the habit of buy-
ing our yarns instead of piece goods, which yarns
they are enabled to convert into piece goods at a
lower price than ourselves, owing to the cheapness of
labour and provisions, in consequence of which the
sale of piece goods is daily declining—and there-
fori prays the Honourable House to take the matter
into consideration, and adopt Kris measures as may
prevent the loss of this valuable trade.

We are not entirely without hope that Parliament
will be induced to interpose its authority to prevent
the feeding of the manufactures of our foreign rivals
at the expense ofour own. Some
,foreign countries
actually levy at this moment mime jn.duties 'on our
yarns than our workmen receive trop the same article
in the shape of wages; and %him are daily aug-
usenting the duties on these yarinii Aith the ultimate
view of prollibitir.g them eqtirsly. when their own
machinery may have come to that perfection which
' may enable them to supply themselves. In fact our
rivals have commenced a commercial war, and in
self defence we must meet them by a counteracting
system, or submit to lose our Cotton trade entirely.
The case of Meg Rim. whose husband was
executed last week, and who was tried herself the
same day for an attempt to aid him in his escape,
was brought before the House by Sir J. bfacennwitu.
A general feeling 4f commiseration was excited by
the narrative of this poor woman's case. The Palaces
Rumor had previously given her a tree pardon.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday last have
arrived.—Their columns are almost entirely. Ailed
with the details of the public rejoicings on the Sd inst.

It is an epoch, the Courtly. Journalists say, which will
be eternally dear to the hearts of all Frenchmen, and
the annual- celebration of which will form one of their
most beautiful fetes! Eternally dear indeed—though
within no more than one short year of that very glo-
'rious epoch, they per mitted BONAPARTE to drive their

,raised in his defence. It is a piFikl spectacle to see
.the vanity of Royalty thus aportimNith the truth and
'honour of a great people. Lsrzi,antf his Ministers,
might, we think, have been a more choice in
their selection of occasions for rejoicing. It would
seem as if they had yet to learn how much more the
stability of the Bourbon Restoration must depend on
forgetting much, than commemorating any thing.
