LIVERPOOL, APRIL "a.

lNERPOOL, Anil
Parliament, since M last, has been Occur led
with only one subject-on which Ministers
have got triumph, which is remarkably like
defeat. A debate on the policy of the min
istrv towards Spain has occupied three nights
in the Commons. Sir II. Harding moved an
address to the King against the renewal of
the Order in Council (Which expires early in
June) for suspendng the Foreign Enls' 'ment
Act, and against the employment OF the Roy
al Marines in any service which is not trIctly
naval. Roebuck made a slashing speech
AGAINST Ministers, and retired without voting.
Harvey did the same The Ministers did not
speak until the third night of the debate, when
Lord Palmerston replied. lengthily, but not
very strongly, not only to clever speech on
the Spanish question by ST. W. Follei but to
Sir R. Peel's taunts, spoken ten days before
as to the weak position and cloudy prospects
ofthe cabinet. Peel smashed this reny, and
again avowed that he was ready to assume
the management Of public affairs whtn
Lord Melbourne walked out. The debate
closed with division, when, in house Of $40
members, ministers had majority of 36'
It's a moot point whether ministers can
remain in office. Spring Rice announces
that he will bring in the Budget on the 9th
May. Bets have been laid, heavily and even
that he will be out of office then. Even if
Melbourne stays in, ] think Rice and Palmers-
ton must 60.
There have been riots at Manchester, the
result difficulties there manufacturers having
no work on hand, the starving hand-loom wea-
vers assembled and pillaged the provision
shops for food. Special constables were call
ed in, and the military called out, but the RIO
tiers separated on promise of relief from the
town authorities, which promise has been dai-
ly kept to thousands of starving artisans.
1t is said that Mr.. Cass, the American Min.
ster, has gone to Turkey to coax some island
in the Archipelago from the Sultan.
Lord Avanley has brought up in the Lords
the question of employing British troops in
Spain. Lord Melbourne said boldly, he should
by no means desert the Queen now, in her
troubles.
The sum of Jf7,30O is subribed to the Wei
lington state to be erected in London. Only
c2000 is wanted. Chantry is talked of to
make it.

A New York correspondent Of the Charles
ton Courier. in labored article, the design of
which is to shew that the removal of the de-
posites and arrangement of the currency had
no agency in producing the present CONNER
cial embarrassment, introduces the following
piece Of history, furnished by an acquaintance.
sin the great fire lost about seventy.fve
thousand dollars: my creditors, to whom ] sta
ted my affairs, told me to 60 on; showed
them that all my available means would hardly
cover that loss. They encouraged me to 60
on, and not only renewed my paper, but thro'
Their influence got credit in England for
any sum within, hundred thousand pounds;
| accordingly ordered, at various times with
in the last year, about FIVE hundred thousand
dollars of Dry Goods, laid in at such prices
that when sold the gain was at least twenty
per cent. But it did not occur to me that these
goods were not in demand to that extent, for
others had pursued the same game, and CON-

and TO witness those tender salut;itons at
parting and meeting which contribute so
much TO keep the affections warm and gns!i-
ing between parents and chi!hIcn. The
Enslish also take much more notice than
we do Of their childrcn's birth days. This
custom, | am aware, may be carried 10
excess, and become an evil; dare say
this not unfrequcntIy happens; but what
a fine opportunity u cailds b.r;h day affords

impar;ing good advice, making lasting
religious impressions ON his mind, and
strengthening the siikcn cord which should
bind him forever to his family.
DO not know that he English are more
glad 10 see their friends than We are Ours !:
but in one rcspcc, a. !cas!, they manjltst
their pleasure more heartily, am sure,
than is Gus omary in our frigil climate. #
they meet ten times 4 day they give each
other The welcome of the hand, as we'll as
The heart; and this, | am convinced, trI.
fling as ii may seem 10 some, has a silent
and kindly influence upon the characcr.--
The grca. difference between them and us
in shaking han 's,must strike every ouc who
visits England. lspcak, OF course, rather
of the nor hern than the southern s;atcs.-
Warmer suns than shine upon our New
Enganl hills, have no doubt, quicken tue
cv!I;ties, as well as the blood Of our brcth-
rcn in lower attitudes. S rangers ought
net however TO infer, from the s!:arp.angIcd
nod and the careless, republican "I1ow do'
which they may often chance to notice IN
travelling amongst US, that these are the
saluta'ions in our respectable families and
social circles.
To the staiG habits and strong domestic
ties Of III: English, it may be owing, in part
as well as to a sense Of religion and a bet
ter conscience, that suicide is much more
rare among them than among ,h"ir gay and
sprightly neighbors of,he continent. They
have too many attachments which the heart
cannot forget, and they know that too many
care for them to make it in easy matter to
form and execute the fa'al resolu'ion.-
Hence many, no doub', bear Il? against the
adyersi.ics of life, and live on Tor the sake
of their friends who have not strength of
principle enough to protect them against
their own suicidal hands and who bu: for
the Thoughts Of the domestic fircsidc, so
long cndcared by the presence OF wife and
children, of father and mother, and BROTH
ers and sisters, would snap the brittle
thread, and leave themselves 10 be fished
up in the Thames, or to be visited by the
coroner in their bed. chambers.
Yours sincerely.

The Eagfsh arc very PLAN pe"pI@-
less addicted to show and :insc, believe.
and more s:udious Of real comfort than

their houses, in their cquipages, in their

Wha little COLL leaf they have, is chiefly
On the Lord Mayors coach. (which BY the

livery of London and Wcstn instcr. As
a o., e:,l thing, the dress Of the servants
and on rider is more snowy than that OF
their masters. And many an American
