FOREIGN POLICY OF GOVERNMENT.
(From Blackwood's Magazine.)

May not the present ministers look with just pride to-
wards every quarter of the globe, and exclaim, Quae regio
in terris nostri non plena laboris ? In truth their success
here has been sufficient to set up half a dozen ministers—
as is known to no man better than Lord Palmerston. The
Duke of Wellington and Lord Aberdeen have restored
peace to the whole world, re-establishing it on a footing
of dignified security and equality. By the persevering
energy, the calm determination, and inexhaustible re-
sources of Lord Aberdeen, " the winter of our discon-
tent," has been " made glorious summer," with all the
great powers of the world. Look at our glorious but ir-
ritable neighbour—France : is there any language too
strong to express the delight which we feel at the reno-
vated sympathy and affection which exist between us?
We cannot answer for France to the extent which we can
for England ; but we know, that through the length and
breadth of this land—our beloved Queen's familiar visit
to the King of the French, their affectionate greeting, and
her Majesty's enthusiastic reception by the people, dif-
fused a feeling of joy and affection towards France,
which
will not soon—nay, should it ever ?—subside. But would
that visit have taken place, if Lord Palmerston, and not
Lord Aberdeen, had presided over the foreign councils of
this country ? 'Tis a disagreeable question, and we pass
on. Then as to America, thanks to the mission of Lord

Ashburton, peace has been secured between us, on terms
equally honourable to both. We are now at peace with
the United States—a peace not to be disturbed by the
(to whiggish eyes) promising (!!) aspect of the Oregon
difficulties—which we tell our aforesaid friends will end in
—nothing at all.—[lt is not, by the way, the fault of our
government, that this disputed matter was not embraced
by the Washington Treaty.]—While Lord Palmerston
and his doleful ally, the Morning Chronicle, were daily
stigmatizing the treaty of Washington, as ighly disho-
nourable and disadvantageous to this country, it may in-
terest our readers to see what one of the disaffected Anse-
rican senators had to say on the subject. Thus spoke, in
the senate, Mr. Benton, a well known member of. con-
gress :
"The concessions of Great Britain to the United
States are small. The territory granted to the United
States, is of such a nature, that it will never be of im-
portance to hold it ; while the possessions given up by
the United States are important and valuable to them, and
have the effect of admitting a foreign power within a ter-
ritory which was granted to the United States, by the
treaty of 1783. * * When I see the Government giv-
ing up more than Great Britain demanded, 1 cannot con-
ceal my amazement and mortification !"
Glancing, however, from the West to the East—what
do we see? Wars in India and China, brought gloriously
to an advantageous termination.—" ars," to adopt the
language of one of the greatest mercantile authorities
living, " which have been deranging our money transac-
tions, and making our trade a trade of hazard and specu-
lation, most injurious to the commerce of the empire at
large."
While, on the ore hand, we are relieved from the
ruinous drain upon our resources, occasioned by our pro-
tracted warlike operations in India and China, on the
other, a prospect is opened to us, by the immensely im-
portant treaty which the Emperor of China has entered
with this country, of very great and permanent commer-
cial advantages, which are already being realized. Let
our manufacturers, however, beware of the danger of
forfeiting these advantages, by excessive eagerness to avail
themselves of these newly acquired markets. Twelve
months ago, we earnestly warned them on this score,
and we now as earnestly repeat that warning ; " notwith-
standing," observed an old French journalist, a few weeks
ago, upon this subject, " the opening of five ports to Eu-
ropean commerce, China will for many years preserve her
internal laws, her eccentric tastes, her inveterate habits.
China is the country of routine and immovability. The
treaty with Great Britain cannot modify the nature of
China in a few months. If the English are not prudent
in their exports, if they overload the newly-opened ports
with foreign produce, they will injure themselves more
than they were injured by the war just concluded." In
every word of this we concur : but alas! what weight will
such considerations have with the agitating manufacturers
in the north of England ? Their fierce but short-sighted
anxiety to make rapid fortunes, will make most of them,
in a few years, melancholy evidence of the justness of our
observations ! We cannot pass from the East without
noticing the sound statemanship which is regulating all
Lord Ellenborough's leading movements in India—a mat-
ter now universally admitted. How unspeakably con-
temptible and ridiculous has the lapse of a few months
rendered the petty clamours against him, with which the
ex-ministerial party commenced their last year's cam-
paign ! Without, however, travelling round the entire
circle of our foreign connexions and operations—there are
one or two points to which we will briefly refer, as strik-
ing instances of the vigilant and indefatigable energy, and
the powerful diplomatic influence of Lord Aberdeen, es
pecially with reference to the securing commercial advan
tapes to this country—and which has extorted the follow,

ng testimony, during the present month (December,)
rrom another French Journal, by no means favourably
disposed to this country :—" The English Government is
incontestably the best served of all Governments in the
means of obtaining new, and extending old markets, and
in the rapid and complete knowledge of the course to be
adopted to ensure the sale of the immense products of
Great Britain in different parts of the globe.', Take for
instance the case of Russia. We have actually succeeded
in wringing from the tenacious and inflexible Cabinet of
St. Petersburg an important commercial advantage ! On
Lord Aberdeen's accession to office, he found Russia in
the act of aiming a fatal blow at a very important branch
of our shipping trade, by levying a differential duty on
all British vessels conveying to Russian ports any goods
which were not the produce of the British dominions.
After, however, a very skilful and very arduous nagocia-
tion, our foreign secretary has succeeded in averting
that blow—and we retain the great advantages of which
we were about to be deprived. Nor has this signal ad-
vantage been purchased by any sacrifice on the part of
Great Britain, but only by a permission, founded on most
equitable principles, for Russian vessels arriving here from
Russian ports with the produce of Russian Poland, to
possess the same privileges as if they had come direct from
Russian ports : Russian Poland being able to communi-
cate effectually with the sea, only through the Prussian
territory. Look again at Brazil—which has also been
recently the object of persevering and energetic negotia-
on the part of Lord Aberdeen. It is true that, at present,
his exertions have been attended with no direct success;
but we have doubts whether the importance of the pro-
posed Brazilian treaty has not, after all, been greatly
exaggerated. However this may be, Lord Aberdeen is,
at this moment, as strenuously at work with the young
emperor, as could be desired by the most eager advocate
of a commercial treaty with Brazil. But, suppose the
emperor's advisers should be disposed to continue their
obstinate and unreasonable opposition, observe the gentle
pressure upon them, to be felt by and by, which Lord
Aberdeen has contrived to effect by the commercial treaty
which he has concluded with the contigious republic of
Monte Video, and other States on the right bank of the
Plata, for the admission (on most favourable terms) of
British imports into these States. One of them Is the
Uruguay republic. which borders through a great extent
of country on Brazil, the Government of which is
utterly unable to prevent the transfer of merchandise
across the border ; whereby the exclusion of British goods
from the Brazilian territory is rendered a matter of phy-
sical impossibility.
It is true, that our efforts to enter into commercial
treaties with France and Portugal have not, as yet, been
successful ; but, formidable as are the obstacles at present
in existence, we do not despair. Those least wonder at
the present position of affairs who are best acquainted
with the artificial and complicated positions of the respec-
tive countries, and their relations, and consequent policy,
towards each other. Whatever can be done by man, is
at this moment being done by Lord Aberdeen; and
sooner than we have at present a right to expect, his in-
defatigable exertions may be crowned with success—not
only in these, but in other quarters. All foreign Govern-
ments must be strongly influenced in such matters, by
contemplating a steady and strong Government established
in this country ; and that object they may see more nearly
and distinctly every day. Such (without entering into
derails which would be inconsistent with either our space
or our present object) is the general result—namely, the
rapidly returning tide of prosperous commercial inter-
course of the foreign policy of a Conservative Govern-
ment, which has raised Great Britain, within the short
space of two years, to even a higher elevation among the
nations of the world, than she had occupied before a
" Liberal Ministry undertook the government of the
country"—" a policy," to adopt the equally strong and
just language of an able writer, " replete with auspicious

evidences of the efficacy of intellect, combined with firm-
ness, activity, and integrity, in restoring to wholesome and
honourable order a chaotic jumble of anomalies—of hu-
...

miliations and dangers—of fears, hatred, and confusion
thrice trebly confounded."

A DOSE.

(From Hood': Comic Magazine.)

" Ellen, you have been out."
" Well, I know I have."
To the King's Head."
" No, John, no. But no matter. You'll be troubled
no more with my drinking."
" What do you mean ?"
" I mean what I say, John," replied the wife, looking
♦ery serious, and speaking very solemnly and deliberately,
with a strong emphasis on every word. " You—will—be
—troubled—no—more—with—my—drinking—l H AVE
TOOK IT AT LAST."

" I knew it !" exclaimed the wretched husband, despe-
rately tossing his arms aloft, as when all is lost. " I
knew it !"—and, leaving one coat flap in the hands of his
wife, who vainly attempted to detain him, he rushed from
the room—sprang down the stairs, both flights, by two
and three stairs at a time—ran along the passage, and
without his hat or gloves, or stick, dashed out at the street
door, sweeping from the step two ragged little girls, a
quartern loaf, a bason of treacle, and a baby. But he
never stopped to ask if the children were hurt, or even to
see whether the infant dripped with gore or molasses.
Away he ran, like a rabid dog, straight forward, down the
Borough, heedless alike of a porter's load, baker's basket,
and butcher's tray.
" I say," muttered the errand boy as he staggered from
the collision.

" Do that agin," growled the placard man, as he reco-
vered the pole and board which had been knocked from
tis shoulder.

" Mind where you're goin' " bawled a hawker, as be
picked up his scattered wares ; whilst a dandy, suddenly
thrust into the kennel, launched after the runner one of
those verbal missiles which are said to return, like the
boomerang, to those who launch them.

But on,-On, on scampered the Teetotaller, heedless of
all impediments—on he scoured, like a he Camilla, to the
shop, number 240, with the red, blue, and green bottles in
the window—the chemist and druggist's, into which he
darted, and up to the little bald man at the desk, with
barely breath enough left to gasp out " My wife !"
" Poison !" and " Pump I"
" Vegetable or mineral ?'' inquired the Surgeon-Apo-
thecary, with professional coolness.
Both—all sorts—laudnum—assnick—oxalic acid—cor-
rosive sublimity"—and the Teatotaller was about to add
pine-apple rum, amongst the poisons, when the Doctor
stopped him.
" is she sick ?"
" No." But remembering the symptoms overnight,
the Teatotaller ventured to say, on the strength of his
dream, that she was turning all manner of colours, like a
rainbow, and swelling as big as a house.
" Then there is not a moment to lose" said the Escu-
lapius, and accordin
g l ,
y clapping on his hat, and arming
himself with the necessary apparatus—a sort of elephan-
tine syringe with a very long trunk—he set off a trot,
guided by the Teatotaller, to unP oison the rash and ill-
fated bacchanalian, Mrs. Burrs
e.
" And did he save her ?" -
" My dear madam, be content to let that issue remain
a little, and accumulate interest, like a sum in the Saving
Bank.

Now, when the Teatotaller, with the medical man at
his heels, arrived at his own house, Mrs. Burrage was
still in her bed-room ; which was a great convenience, for
before she could account for the intrusion of the Btranger,

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—nus DAY.

There has been a very spirited demand again for Cotton
to-day, both from the trade and speculators, the former
taking about 5000 bales, and the latter the same quantity,
at the full advance quoted yesterday. We may remark,
that the trade are not willing purchasers at the advance,
and seem actuated in their purchases rather by fear than
ny desire to buy more than usual.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. B. Makin & Sons' Circular.)

Into this port and Runcorn, since the 9th instant, the
arrivals of Wheat and other Grain are comparatively very
inconsiderable, as well coastwise as from Ireland, but of
Flour and Oatmeal we have to note a further good sup-
ply ; the imports from abroad during the week consisting
merely of about 1800 qrs. of Wheat from Egypt, and 787
barrels of States and Canadian Flour.

Our market this morning having been tolerably well
attended by town and country buyers, and the rise in
London yesterday tending to impart rather more general
confidence, a fair extent of business was transacted in
English and Irish Wheats, at an advance of ld. to 2d. ;
most kinds of free Foreign realising Id. per 701bs. over
the rates of last week, and ordinary runs of Mediterra-
nean, in partial instances, exceeding this improvement.
p English and Irish Flour met a good inquiry, but holders
requiring an advance of ls. per sack, and upon Foreign
Is. per barrel, which was not readily paid, sales in conse-
quence were not extensive.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule
nearly as in our report of Friday.
Oats, with very few offering upon the market, were fully
Id. per 451 b. dearer than on this day week ; and Oatmeal
being in rather brisk demand for holding over, the
transactions in this article were considerable, at 21s.
per load ; a few parcels of superior quality, in some cases,
realizing 21s. 3d.

How TO WRITE CLEARLY AND. FORCIBLY.—A man
fully possessed of his subject, and confident of his
cause, may almost always write with vigour and effect, if
he can get over the temptation of writing finely, and really
confine himself to the strong and clear exposition of the
matter he has to bring forward. Half of the affectation
and offensive pretension we meet with in authors is from a
want of matter, and the other half from a paltry ambition
of being eloquent and ingenious out of place.—. Lord
Jeffrey.
LIBERAL. PRINCIPLES OF THE DUKE OF KENT.—I re-
member on. one occasion, at a public banquet, at which
the Dukes of Kent and Sussex were present, the former
returned thanks on the part of the royal family for the ho-
nour which had been conferred by the health of the junior
members having been drunk ; and the noble duke then
hastily glanced at his own position. " I am a friend of
civil and religious liberty, all the world over,"' said his
royal highness. "lam an enemy to all religious tests. I
am a supporter of a general system of education. All men
are my brethren • and I bold that power is only delegated
for the benefit of people. These are the principles of
myself and of my beloved brother the Duke of Sussex.
They are not popular principles just now ; that is, they
do not conduct to place or office. All the members of the
royal family do not hold the same principles. For this I
do not blame them; but we claim for ourselves the right
of thinking and acting as we think best ; and we proclaim
ourselves, with our friend Mr. Tierney, members of his
majesty's loyal opposition.' "—Fraser 's Magazine.
A FRUGAL SOVERLIGN.-it is unnecessary for me to
observe, that in his personal expenditure, as well as in
that of his family and court, there is not a more frugal
sovereign in Europe than Louis of Bavaria. He is frugal,
not with a view to hoard up money in foreign funds, as
other crowned heads are known to do, but to accumulate
in every form, in his capital, and even in the most remote
districts of his kingdom, specimens of the fine arts, exe-
cuted in the highest style of perfection. His pure clas •
sical taste, inspired by a warm and brilliant imagination,
forbids him to attempt any work undeserving the approval
of the most severe critic, and the applause of future ages.
His habits at Bruckenau are, as I was informed by some
of those best acquainted with them, of the most simple
kind, touched with a disposition to romance which he has
shown from his youth upwards. He rises early, walks a
great deal, always alone, through the woods and moun-
tains around, preferring the margins of the brooks which
flow through those charming scenes in great abundance.
He often sits down beneath the shade of a tree, or upon
a flowery bank, to listen to their music, forgetting altoge-
ther, for the time, that he has upon his shoulders the
weight of a kingdom. But he has his stated hours for
business, to which he regularly attends : he had with him
at Bruckenau his celebrated minister, 1%1. Abell, and a
member of his council of state, M. Schilcher, together
with several secretaries, who were said to be constantly
employed. As a husband and the father of a family, Louis
is a model for sovereigns. Neither the Queen nor any of
their children were with him upon this occasion. It is
very well known that his majesty has published several
volumes of poetry, chiefly containing his meditations
upon the scenes he had visited, and the objects of art
which he admired in Greece and Italy. But amongst his
effusions are found many admirable thoughts upon the
philosophy of life, which speak a high and gifted tLind,
deeply imbued with a sense of religion, and a true feel.

SECOND EDITION.

Standard-ojice, Eleven o'clock,

THE STATE TRIALS.

The Court opened at ten o'clock yesterday (Monday
morning, and was immediately crowded in every part
Frecisely at ten Chief Justice Pennefather, Mr. Justice
Burton, Mr. Justice Crampton, and Mr. Justice Perrin
entered the Court, and took their seats on the bench.
Mr. O'Connell came in procession to the court in the
Lo rd Mayor's private carriage, followed by carriages
containing the other traversers and several of the alder-
men and town council in their robes. The Lord Mayor,
who was also in his robes, was in the same carriage with
Mr. O'Connell. They were loudly cheered by the popu.
lace on their progress to the Court.
Tha Judges having having taken their seats,
The traversers were then •called, and on the name of
the Rev. Mr. Tyrrel being called,
Mr. Cantwell, with much solemnity, said—My lords,
the rev. defendant has been called before another judg-
ment seat, and his soul and body are now alike beyond
the power of this court.
The traversers were called on, and severally answered
to their names.
Mr. O'Connell appeared along with the counsel for the
defendents, in his wig and gown.
The names of the jurors were then called over. On
Mr. James Collins Papworth being called, a juror said his
names was James Papworth ; another juror said his name
was Joseph Hamilton, and not James, as givan in the
list.

The officer of the court then called on John Holmes, of
William-street, merchant, to appear on pain of £5O.
Mr. Frederick Stocken, physician, said he appeared on
his behalf, and having been sworn, stated that Mr. Holmes
was unable to attend, having been confined to his bed by
serious illness for the last five days.
The next name called was Robert Smith Stubbs, linen-
draper, Dame-street. Doctor Leech also appeared on his
behalf, and handed in an affidavit to the effect that he was
affected with asthma and other complaints of the chest,
and consequently unable to attend. George Mitchell, 20,
Lower Sackville-street, tobacconist, was next called ; and
Mr. Carey, barrister, appeared for him, and handed in af-
fidavits from several medical men, certifying that, owing
to asthma and severe cold he was unable to serve. Indeed,
he bad been ill very long, and there was scarcely a fort-
night but he was confined from the causes alluded to. A
medical certificate and affidavit was handed in by Mr. Geo.
; 1 Davis, solicitor, on the part of George Fowler, of Angle-
sea-street, as a ground for having him excused.
The Attorney-General then requested that the names
of James Collins Popworth and James Hamilton might
be called over. If there were such persons in the venire
they should be called on fines, and if there was any mis-
description it might be dealt with afterwards.
The names of those gentlemen were then called.
Mr. Moore requested that the service of the sum-
monses on those persons might be proved.

Mr. George Mitchell, of Saekville-street, was also ex-
cused attending as a juror.
The deputy Registrar then called over the names of the
traversers, and called their attention to the fact that the
jnry was about to be sworn.
Mr. Moore said that as some of the jurors had not at.
tendad, and as the Attorney-General had applied ta have
their names called over on fines, he wished that proof
would be given of the notice served upon the jurors.
David Ireland was then called, and he proved the ser-
vice of the notice on Mr. Papworth and Mr. Hamilton,
who had not attended.

In reply to Mr. Moore, he admitted that the service
was not a personal one.
Sir C. O'Loghlen then rose and said, he challenged the
array on the part of Daniel O'Connell. He then pro-
ceeded to read the challenge, which was to the effect that
the jury panel from which the jury had been selected was
defective, inasmuch as, when a revision of the jury fist
took place before the Recorder, who revised, corrected,
and signed them ; but the Recorder did not cause to be
made out a general list of the special jurors in order that
such might be copied out by the Clerk of the Peace, but,
on the contrary, omitted to do so ; and that said list was
illegally and fraudulently made out by some person not
authorised to do so, and that fifty-nine names that had
been adjudged by the Recorder to be placed on the special
jury list, were omitted from the general list so made out.
The learned gentleman then read the names of the parties
omitted from the list, and proceeded to say that the names
before mentioned were also omitted from the special jurors'
book for 1844, as well as from the general list, an that
said omission was injurious to him, said Daniel O'Con-
nell, who therefore prayed the judgment of the court to set
aside the jury panel made out in this case. The learned
gentleman, in conclusion, said, that similar challenges
were prepared on the part of the other traversers, and
were then actually being engrossed.
The Attorney-General said, that as it was the first time
the counsel for the crown had been made acquainted' with
the intention of the counsel for the traversers to challenge
the array, he hoped their lordships would give his learned
friends and himself a short time to take the document
banded in by the learned counsel into consideretion. In
the mean time he anga..t.a ch.* *h.
should be ready, in order that they should be disposed of
with that now before the court.
Chief Justice.—Oh, c3rtainly. Let me have the act of
parliament that applies to this question.
The act was handed up to the bench, and the counsel
for the crown then retired at a quarter-prst eleven o'clock,
to consult together respecting the nature and forms of
the challenge.
The counsel for the traversers also retired at the same
time.

At about two o'clock the counsel for the crown and the
traversers returned into court, when the Attorney-General
said he wished to have the challenges of all the traversers
handed in. This, after some demur on the part of Mr.
Moore, was agreed to, and after some little delay the
Lord Chief Justice addressed Sir Colman O'Lochlan,
complaining that there had been a great deal of unneces-
sary delay-, and that he should have come into court pre-
pared with all the challenges.

Dublin, Nine o'clock, p.m.
After the return of the counsel to court, the Attorney-.
General demurred to the challenge,and a lengthened ar-
gument ensued,. in which Sir Colman O'Loughlin, Mr.
Fitzgibbon, and Mr. Moore spoke on behalf of the tra-
versers, and the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General
on behalf of the crown. The Lord Chief Justice was
about to deliver judgment, when, a very singular ap-
plication was made by Mr. Moore. He stated that
the traversers were willing to go at once to trial,
if the jury lists were sent back to the Recorder for
revision, in order that the 59 names alledged to have
been omitted from the panel:might be placed thereon..
The Attorney-Genaral resisted the applscation on the
ground that such a proceeding was altogether illegal, and
and would have the effect of 'Waling all the judicial,
i proceedings ustituted throughout the present year.
The Lord Chief Justice then delivered a very length-
ened judgment, (in which the- majoriiy of the court
concurred,)' to the effect that " the demurrer must
be allowed, and, consequently, the challenge overruled.
Mr. Justice Perrin expressed his dissent from the opi—
nions of the other judges on the point. There is nothing,
further in the way of a dilatory proceeding to be brought
before the court, and therefore It is confidently expected
the trial will commence to-morrow.

THE USE OF SYMBOLS. IN RELIGIOUS Woustma. a,
PROOF' OF THE DECLENSION OF SPIRITUALITY.—The
truth. of God asks only for men as its exponents ; hut it
is not difficult, in the exercise of a pious fancy, to attach
meanings innumerable, of spiritual import, to the use of
any material and inanimate thing. Again, as regards
lights by the side of the altar, flowers upon the altar, in-
cense, &c., it should be remembered that their use was
of the growth of time ; that they are each symbol's of
realities, and, as such, could have no true place where
the reality existed ; and that they gradually came to be
part of the ceremonial of the worship of the church, as
the realities which, they symbolised ceased to be mani-
fested ; the people, in like manner, becoming gradually
accustomed to their use, as the higher things of life and
power died out, and were reconciled to the loss of the
reality itself by some gorgeous and external resemblance
of its existence. To take one example : when the church
forgot, and ceased to stand in her true character as the
intercessor for all men on earth, the reality was substi-
tuted and preserved in remembrance by the visible as-
cending of material incense. Lighted candles, incense,
&c., are, therefore, so many testimonies which the church
unconsciously holds forth to men of her own unfaithful-
ness, and not the proper expression of mysteries and re-
alities which she cannot otherwise show; for then would
she fall into the position of the Jewish Church before the
coming of our Lord.—Church of England Quarterly
Review.

FITZ-BOODLE'S HINT TO THE LAMM—Whilst ladies
persist in maintaining the strictly defensive condition,
men must naturally, as it were, take the opposite line,
that of attack ; otherwise, if both parties held aloof, there
would be no more marriages ; and the two hosts would
die in their respective inaction, without ever coming to a
battle. Thus it is evident that as the ladies will not, the
men must take the offensive. I, for my part, have made,
in the course of my life, at least a score of chivalrous at-
tacks upon several strongly fortified hearts. Sometimes
I began my works too late in the season, and winter sud-
denly came and rendered further labours impossible;
sometimes I have attacked the breach madly, sword in
hand, and have been plunged violently from the scaling-
ladder into the ditch ; sometimes I have made a decent
lodgment in the place, when—bang ! blows up a mine,
and I am scattered to the deuce ! and sometimes when I
have been in the very heart of the citadel—ah, that I
should say it !—a sudden panic has struck me, and I have
run like the British out of Carthagena ! One grows tired
after a while of such perpetual activity. Is it not time
that the ladies should take an innings? Let us widowers
and bachelors form an association to declare, that for the
next hundred years we will make love no longer. Let
the young women come and make love to us ; let them
write us verses; let them ask us to dance, get us ices and
cups of tea, and help us on with our cloaks at the hall-
door; and if they are eligible, we may perhaps be induced
to yield and say, " La. Miss Hopkins—l really never—l
am so agitatccl—ask papa !"—Fraser's Mapa;ine,

EDINII URGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY'

Sir Andrew Agnew has addressed a letter to the she.'
holders in this undertaking, from which we extract the
following passages. After alluding to the fact, whichlle
states has been established beyond doubt, that the Work•
ing of this railway on Sunday is a loss to the comps*
Sir Andrew says,
" It is expected that this loss will cease, and that 11,
and by there will be gain. The character of Scotian°
is pledged to the contrary ! In the year 1842 remav
strances against the unholy traffic were presented to
_nth°
Proprietary (and bearing the names of more than 200,0„
persons), all of whom declared that they would withhold
their countenance from the railway if it continued t°
violate the law of God, and most of whom pledged theta'.
selves to resort to every other mode of travel rather then
the railway, while it continued in this unhallowed couree•
To this hour, great numbers of these individuals, en"'
mating to every inconvenience and loss, both of time
and money, refuse absolutely to enter your railway cat'
riages on any consideration, and never have entered Os
of them : while of those who have betaken themselveSi
under extremities, to the railway, scarcely any fee'
themselves at ease in so doing, and all are ever ou the
look-out for other means of transit. It is also certain,
that besides these, numberless other persons who did not
join in the remonstrances, have declared that they would,
to the utmost of their power, avoid your railway. And
it is quite incalculable how many betake themselves to
it only occasionally, and under the pressure of necessity,
who would be glad with their families to use it frequently,
whether for convenience or for recreation, were it not
placing itself in opposition to the righteous principles of
the nation.
"It is said, to be sure, that the Postmaster-General
has now become a party to the Sabbath traffic, by using
the trains for the conveyance of the mails ; and certain
minds may waver in their opposition on this account.
The Postoffice proceedings ought, on the contrary, to
strengthen their opposition. The transaction with the
Postoffice was entirely the voluntary act of the directors.
They may, by act of parliament, be compelled to trans-
mit the mails, it is said. But then special trains would
be necessary for the purpose ' • the Postoffice would need
to pay the whole expense of such trains ; and it is per-
fectly understood that that expense would be so great as
to prevent the exercising of the parliamentary powers of
compulsion. Therefore, if you refuse passengers/ and
railway traffic on the Sabbath, you stop the desecration
at once. By sanctioning them, you commit the desecra-
tion. And let me add, in regard to the whole matter,
that by means of a railway post between Edinburgh and
Glasgow late on Saturday night and early on Monday
morning, every practical good said to attend the Sabbath,
post would be attained. There is no conceivable inter--
est, therefore, in the public which could justify the ex-,
pence of separate Postoffiee trains being incurred by the
Postmaster-General. Your voting for Sabbath traffic is
the cause of the desecration, and the solemn responsi-
bility still rests upon you and your company.
" Why, then, should this voluntary act of the directors
in contracting with the Postmaster-General, embarrass
the Sabbath question at all ? You are losing character
and money by your Sabbath traffic, and putting your
company into needless and injurious opposition to a
general national feeling, for no real or avowable object
whatever. Were you to act like the proprietors of the
Dundee Railway, and apply to the Postmaster-General
to relieve you from this unjustifiable Sabbath-profaning •
contract, you would be a gainer every way,—in charac-
ter, money, and all. If he complied, your abondonment
of your Sabbath traffic would instantly restore the railway
to that popularity which it has lost, and to the consequent
patronage which it has failed hitherto to obtain. And
if he did not comply you would act just as the Dundee
company did. You would complete the period of the
contracts as far as the mails only were concerned, though
that would be a loss. For were loss even to be incurred,
why not sustain it rather than continue iu sin ? For it
must be remembered by you, and by every other indi-
vidual shareholder, that the sin is yours personally, as
long as you either countenance or do not oppose the
commission of it by your company. You break the Sab-
bath, and lead others to break the Sabbath ; and I would
apply to you—l must in faithfulness do so—the emphatic
words which, used at the Dundee company's meeting,
led many of the shareholders to abandon the Sabbath
traffic then : It is impossible but that offences will
come ; but woe unto him through whom they come ! It
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck, and he cast into the sea.'
" The friends of the Sabbath cause do not at all desire
power in any secular matter. We heartily leave that in
the hands of the gentlemen above referred to ; and the
accompanying proxy is so framed as to save every exist-
ing proxy as to all that. But we do ask you, as yew
value interests infinitely higher than worldly gain—
illusive hitherto, in the present case, as that has been—
we do ask you to join in putting an end to this great
abuse and profanation which is now, by your means, being.
weekly committed on every returning Sabbath-day."

THE SILK MANUFACTORY OF M. STOFELLA

AT RO'VEREDO.

FROM THE GERMAN. BY HERR TESCHAIT.
This establishment has gained a high reputation, not
only for the quality of the silks manufactured, but for the
philanthropic system• upon which it is conducted. Four hundred females are constantly employed, who are nos
only provided with their living, but even• care is taken.
of their education. A young girl from eleven to fourteen
years of age, in poverty,. who can produce a certificate
of good moral conduct and health, is apprenticed from
four years and a halt' to six years and a half under an
indenture, stipulating that she shall during her appren
ticeship be provided with board, lodging, clothing, and
instruction in religion; as well as reading, writing, arith-
metic, needle-work, and. all the branches of the manufac-
ture of silk. After the first six months, every appren-
tice receives an annual salary of fifteen florins, which
sum is placed in the savings' bank of Roveredo. Those
parents who are in very needy circumstances, are per-
mitted, after their daughter has been two years appren-
ticed, to draw an annual allowance. The proprietor
himself deposits 500 florins in the bank every year for
the purpose of being distributed in different awards to
those whose industry and skill are found the most de-
serving at a public examination. In case of death the
parents have a right to claim whatever funds the child
may have in the bank. Upon the termination of the
apprenticeship the girl' is at liberty to return home, or
stipulate for employment by the year, (that being the
shortest period for which any of them can be engaged,)
and receives an increase of payment according to her
abilities. Those who, during their apprenticeship, have
behaved well, and distinguished themselves, are provided
at the end of their term with tools and furniture to com-
mence business. Their occupatio❑ consists in the manu-
facture of all sorts of silks, and every week twenty-five
of the number are alternately instructed in domestic
affairs. Certain leisure hours are allowed for meals,
lessons, and recreation, End when they walk out some of
the teachers are appointed to accompany them. The
whole establishment is conducted by Mr. Stofella, and
consists of twenty superintendents, viz., one doctor, one
vice-director, six teachers, and twelve overseers.—Lon-
don Polytechnic Mitgazine.

THE VENTILATION OF MINES.

Deep mines are thought to be more infested with the-
fire-damp than more superficial ones. There are two-
causes to be assigned for this : First, in those mines
which lie near the surface, more of the gas exhales or
finds its way into• the atmosphere than from deep ones.;;
secondly, the pressure of the superincumbent atmosphere,
and the consequent condensation of the gas, will evidently
be greater in proportion to the depth of the mine. When,
therefore, in a deep mine, the gas becomes confined and
pressed up under an arch or vault, remaining long there-
in, it forms an explosive mixture, and on being ignited,
detonates with great violence.
Again, it appears that a considerable time is required
for the gas to mingle with air, so as to form an explosive
mixture ; as-evinced by the more explosive state of the
damp in old wastes, or old excavations ; and also, by the
practice of consuming the gas in the mine, before it ae-
cumulates in great quantity, or becomes explosive by ,
mixing with atmospheric air. This is done by means of
a candle fixed to a pole, which the workman. raises
r to
the vault or roof, and so fires the carburetted.h3.drogen.
These facts considered, why not, I would ask, take
advantage of the inherent property of carburetted hydro-
gen to ascend, by allowing, from the moment of its ,

the fire-damp to pass off in'o the atmosphere as fast as
it is generated or evolved in the works. As to the usual
system of stopping off the damp, forming other pass-ways,
and driving it about from one part of the mine to another,

with Davy-lamps, the ventilating, brushing, stopping,

men, viewers, under-viewers, and trappers, by which

care and vigilance in such attendants.—London Poly-

STATE OF TRADE.

MANcilzszsa, January 13.—A1l the early part of the week,
and particularly on Tuesday, one or two occurrences (viz., the
rather unfavourable commercial news from the east, and a
temporary abatement of the activity in the Liverpool cotton
Market) caused our goods market to be flat, although no altera-
tion in prices took place, but on Thursday a very large amount
Of business was done in cotton, and since then our market is
even more animated than last week, and manufacturers have
+wain advanced the prices of nearly all kinds of cloths, and
yesterday sales were made in 27-inch printing cloth at an ad-
vance of lid to 3d per piece. Domestic cloth is in good demand
St id to id per yard advance. 27-inch 66's may be quoted
55 94 to 6s; and 72's, 6s 3d to 6s 7d.
LEEDS.—The Woollen markets since our last have been well
attended by buyers, and the business transacted has been exten-
sive, generally at previous rates. The purchases in the ware.
houses for domestic consumption have been considerable; and
the houses in the foreign trade are also tolerably brisk.
BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a good attendance of mer-
chants here on Thursday, most of whom bought freely when they
could meet with articles offering at the prices which ruled last
month. But in many cases the manufacturers, knowing that
they could not replace their goods at those prices, on account of
the increased cost of the raw material, asked higher prices for
their pieces, and thus checked the sales. There was a fair bu-
siness done in the Yarn market, at late rates, but the spinners
appear to be acting with great caution, apprehensive of further
advance in the price of Wool. The Wool market was very active
for all kinds of combing descriptions, at the prices of last week,
but for Noils and Broke Wools h gher prices were realised.
HUDDERSFIELD MARIZT.—The transactions at our market
on Tuesday comprised nearly all descriptions of goods, and were
of considerable extent, especially in fancy articles possessing any
novelty of pattern. The Wool market was also brisk, and some
descriptions of the staple commodity were not quite so easy to
buy as of late.
HALIFAX MARKET.—There was a numerous attendance of
buyers at this market on Saturday last, and a considerable busi-
ness:was done in Camblets, and Lastings, and the other descrip-
tions of heavy goods at market. The wool market was active,
not only for fine wools suitable for flannels, but for common noils
and broke wools. Prices were rather firm.
WAKEFIELD WOOL MLR/MT.—WO have to report a gradual
and steady iaiprovement in the demand for all descriptions of
combing Wools, and as the market continues to be very barely
supplied, the advance demanded last week is now fully obtained.
No movement in short Wools.

Laic s svz R.—ln the state of our local trade we have but little
alteration to notice since last week, Wools and Yarns remain
fully as firm, and their tendency is still upwards. Some buyers
have visited the town during the week, and in common and low
goods a fair amount of business is doing; some of the country
houses have also reeeived unexpected orders. In cotton goods
very little is doing ; but in this branch, also, Yarns are firm.
There is a pretty general amount of employment, though still at
lower prices than we like to see; but a decided improvement in
this respect we fear cannot yet be looked for.—Leicester Chro-
nicle.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE.—There is a sort of monotony in
the state of the wrought cotton hose branch, which has now
continued for a considerable time, the hands in general being
pretty well employed, except in the finer qualities—that is, hose
above 4P-guage, which still continue very dull. The cat-up
branch still keeps tolerably brisk, and those engaged in it have
some slight hopes of a further small advance in the rate of
wages, as the hosiers are gradually acceding to the " penny ad-
vance." The drawer branch, we are sorry to say, is much
Worse this week, as we perceive the masters coming from the
warehouses with empty bags. There can scarcely be said to be
any improvement in the Nottingham and Derby fancy hosiery
trade, which is in a very lingering state, some branches being
nearly extinct; on the other hand, on the Continent, whether
in Franconio, Austria, the Milanese, the Lyonnois, Nismes,
Catalonia, or Valencia, these branches are flourishing, making
many elegant articles, not known to the English workmen. The
silk glove trade still keeps rather improved, and more work is
obtained; this is felt as a great relief in this district, however
low wages may be. The fancy bobbin net trade is in much the
same dull state that it has been in since the shock of the tempo-
rary panic ; yet, upon the whole, this branch, with the exception
of platt laces, is in a much better state than it was at this season
last year, with considerable hopes on the further approach of
spring. The plain trade is by no means worse, and there seems
a tolerable demand, which takes off all that is now made,
though at miserable prices, lace being cheaper than muslins,
and will wear considerably longer.—Nottingham Journal.
Pr M

.'oor . urphy's " occupation " is decidedly " gone "
from henceforth, for a more grievous mistake he could
not have made than in the declaration that Sunday the
7th of January was to be the coldest day of the present
year. Cold, i' faith ! the sun was abroad all day ; and we
wanted but the foliage of the trees and hedgerows to make
us believe that May had made an exchange with January.
AVERAGE MORTALITY OF ALL MANKIND.—The po-
pulation of the whole earth has been variously estimated
between eight hundred and a thousand millions of souls.
If we fix upon an intermediate number—say 946,080,000
—and assign 30 years for the continuance of each genera-
tion, we shall find that the "children of men" come into
the
ve world and go out of it at the following averages :
hours
Ery moment, 1 ; minute, 60 ; hour, 3600 ; day (24
,) 86,400; week, (seven days,) 604,800 ; month,
(thirty days,) 2,592,000; year, (365
days,) 31,536,000
generation, (thirty years,) 946,080,000.
THE LAST OF THE STUARTS.—This most wonderful
character still lives at Tweedmouth, having completed his
115th year at Christmas, 1843. His father General John
Stuart, was a cousin of " Prince Charlie," the Pretender.
His grandmother was the Lady of Airlie, well known in
battles
old Scotch sung. James Stuart saw those memorable
t during the rebellion in 1745, Prestonpans and
Culloden, and has spoken to, and partaken of wine with
the Pretender. He served on the side of the royalists in
the American war, and was at the battle of Quebec, where
General Wolfe lost his life at the moment of victory. He
served on board a man-of-war for many years under those
naval heroes Admiral Rodney and Rear Admiral Hood.
He has been five times mairied, and now lives with a fifth
wife, 75 years younger than himself. He has had by his
several wives 27 children ; ten of them have been killed in
battle, five of them in India, two at Trafalgar under Nel-
son, one at Waterloo, and two at Algiers. For nearly 60
years he has travelled in the Border districts as a wander-
ing minstrel, playing on a fiddle, but he never asked alms
from any one. Hundreds of persons can bear testimon
the y
to his amazing strength, from which circumstances he got ,
bye-flaw. of "jemmy Strength." Among other
feats he could carry a 24 pounder cannon, and he has been
known to lift a cart load of hay, weighing a ton and a half,
on his back. Many a time he has taken up a jackass, and
walked thvough the toll bar, carrying it on. his shoulders. '
