piping days Of peace to be the messenger Of such
heap Of events as the Great Western on this ocea-
sion. IL Samuel Slick, Esq ould desire to COM
memorate the contents of her letter bag, let him
break the seals on her present voyage. We are not
agtated at present by any leg cabin interest Kin
derhook preiudices, whilst the whole surface and
subsol Of your society is tossed ana heaving in its
anxiety to elect President. We have settled eur
business by the vicarious agency OF the House OF
Lords and voted in a regent, Prince Albert, after
half AN hour Of discussion. The noble youth who
has resided in England five mOnths, Is considered
fit and sufficiently vsrsed in all the laws that affect
society to take upon himself ITS government III
the Interesting contn ency which awaits The queen,
should leave heir To the throne, but deprive us
of our m monarch, Albert would occupy and hold her
kingly duties for period of eighteen years.
See, my dear friend, with what facility the sue
cession Of the crown passes on IN these dom'n,"ns.
Who would not wish 10 be liberated from the strug-
gle Of an elec ion, il the hereditary law brings with
il such peace But yet the rulers of the land were
not quite unanimous in the election OF regent; the
radical portion OF the cabinet were inclined TO make
il Joint affair and give the Duke OF Sussex COM
mission with Prince Albert in the kingly duties.
Morality stood in the way here, As Lady Under-
wood the Duchess OF lnvernessis not, IN the eye
Of the tories considered to be the legal wife Of the
noble Duke, but merely his mistress, into whose
hands the infant prince or princess would have been
consigned.
Oxford who attempted the life OF the Queen, and
was indicted for high treason, not in state of
mind TO make him responsible at the time he com
mitted the act; BECAUSE forsooth. certain persons
had motto him to laugh occasionally, when no rea-
son could be assigned for his Utilization. The sanity
of no man is worth keeping now.
Public attention is now being directed to the office
of our county magistrates, who are generally par
sons; and as the duties Of the civil magistrates are
such as TO make him odious in the eyes OF the lower
classes, religion is seriously injured. But beyond
this, the ncapacity Of the magistrates is getting
Iox-, Assna az
law. A sceundrel was lately charged with assault
ing a lady in open day, in the neighborhsod of Lon
don, and no doabt remained that he had violated
her perssn-he is fined five pounds and released
At the same time cad Of omnibus is charged
with using insoIent language TO passenger-the
same penalty is visited to him.
The Queen, and the operate corps Of dancers,
with all the vocalists, are getting more intimate
daily; the court is beset with them. Lsblach and
Tagoni il is said TO be elevated to the peerage
but it is remarked the latter has got leg to
stand on.
In the early part If this session the parliament
voted f70,0O TO build stables and horse accommo
cations for the Queen, and $4,000 to educate the
people. The Queen does not let out cabs or horses,
but the church IF England, which claims the right
to train the intellect and guide the mind, spurned
the E30 900, one OF the conditions was, that the
government should appoint an inspector TO see that
the ~ eat sum Of E30,O0O TO educate the whole ma
ton was applied for that purpose This was sur
vcillance which the church would not submit to at
the time, and the people have been denuded OF the
miserable pirtance. The chnrch, fat and bloated
with it's power has at last the error oft ways
after nine months reflection, and IL has now consent
ed TO submit tselfto the government condit.n. The
tories are licked men ut present.; their ranks are
broken by the rankness Of their own principles, not
by the strength of the wings. Ii is reported and be-
lieved, that the Duke of ellington will quit public
life and that unaloyed saint the Bishop OF Exeter
be raised to a cardinals cap.
The barbarous custom Of executing IN public, is
still persisted in with us, and there were less
ham ~ emit thOus pe0Dle assembled
the last scene of Courvoisier on earth. Amongst
these numbers were several distinguished persons
OF artificial greatness.
We have had several murders, violations Of pro-
perty, and two private defslcatioss One fellow
has decamped with Gao, 900, not bearing the name
Of P5ice-and some far creature, at an entertain
ment given by Lady Glengail, purloned several va
liable articles.
A grand agricultural feed has taken place to
strengthen the devils law, which debars us taking
your -four. Some honor was done in a toast 10 the
United States-yet IL did not appear TO me fit mo
ment Tor any remark; our policy in respect OF
the objects If this meeting, is selfish and antagonist
to the best interests Of America. Stevenson return
ed thanks, and talked about eggs and bacon being
capital commodities, using the good locofoco maxim
that nothing can compensate people for being de-
pendent another for bread" Why did not An
drew Stevenson, the representative othe greatest
nation in all creation" saw, that corn law was
antichrstian, that il tended to promote hostility
abroad, and anarchy at homei WAS good master
Andrew too much under the influence Of Peter -,
the dinner 0erg got up by some OF the members OF
st. Peters College, Cambridge.
After the dinner, the Duke Of Richmond and the
Marquis o. Deronshirs, engaged in q ploughing
match. The latter broke docn before he had tsrn-
ed up foot OF earth.
The Archimedssn screw is to be fitted in the "
iron ship nj Bristol 81 5000 tons-this is indeed put
ting on The scre,c-( Bank OF England
A steam Company il To- be established In Belgium
all at once, to run ships between Antwerp and New
York. How Europe courts the United States!
Some demand prevails for silver for expectation,
our exchanges being little unfavorable. Much
anxiety is felt for the growing wheat and specula
tors already turning attention TO the markets Of
Europe for all the wheat that be purchased at a
reasonable rate, and this gives the exchanges us-
favorable turn.
Our stocks Of sugar are very much reduced, and
the price is advancing to limit TO check consump-
tion.
The prospect or satisfactory arrangement oi the
boundary spute has given universal satisfaction
We pray here that all boundaries between ss may
be extinguished. Penny rolls will be very high this
year IL zoe collect an average crop.
Saint David's-but some men doubt his quail alton
10 take mp his episcopal cares; for in Wales the
Welsh language the versacular, and the new bsh-
op is not versed in single page Of its grammar.

of the realm &c, has suffered his vrtuous name TO
be conspicuously placed before the public. NUN
