Abolition cfihc Corn Eaws--Ehc Bcsinnin
OLA Great Revolution,

The New York Herald says -" The news
which we publish to-day, brought by the Cacdo-
MIA steamer, is probably the most important, in
one point of view, which we have received in
many years from that quarter of the world.
1--WE alludc particularly to the defeat of the
British ministers on the Irish question, and the
announcement, by Lord John Russell that the abo-
liton of the corn laws, or radical change in their
principles and operation, was to be made a cabi-
net question.
1--WE take this movement to he equal to the first
agitation of the Reform Bill in England-and it
will lead to as decided change in the CONNER
cial and financial affairs of that country, as the
reform bill did IN its political affairs. The agta-
ton oGthis question will range on one side all the
landed ntorest-hc arstocracy-thc church, and
their supporters against the commercial, manu-
featuring and radical interests.
Gin the progress of this controversy, the com.
mcrcal systcm-the tariil--thc banking system
and all their financial influences will be exam
incd aud discussed. We may expect prodigi-
Gus excitement, the end Of whichno one can sec
perhaps it may lead to an ultimate revolution in
the form of government. The Wings, to retain
power, have to give the movement party their
popular rights, bitby bit. The latter got a large
slice when tho Reform Bill was passcd-thc same
party cannot fail ogct another slice by the agita-
ton or the modification of the Corn Laws and the
T,rT uDlcr the ,usnip. Of the rr,g,pt ,,r.
1t was this way that the French Revolution Of
1892 waaproluccd, btby bit, as the party inp power
felt Unnecessary to give in to the popuarimpuscs,
in order to retain thcirplaccs. We should not be
surprised to see the present movement end in a
similar catastrophe"

The Caledonia, which arrived at Boston, from
Liverpool, on the 10Th ut. brings no news in re.
lation to the fate of the steamship President The
New York Herald says:--" We do not give up
the President as lost We think she may yet be
safe, and most, if not all her passengers. We
have good reason for thinking so, and shall
wait the arrival of another steamer before we be-
gin to feel seriously alarmed for her fate From
certain facts which have been made known by the
arrival Of the Caledonia, we have every reason to
believe that she is, or has been till very recently,
loundcrng about the broad Atlantic. 1t appears

This exciting case has been fully argued be-
fore the Supreme Court Of New York, and was
brought to close on the Goth ultmo. The
Court has not yet delivered an opinion, and will
not do so until the July term. Mcleod is con-
fined in Centre street, until that time. If the
court decide that he is to be discharged without
trial, no will of course be let go--if such is not
the decision, then an appeal will be taken to the
Court of Errors, and ultimately to the U. $. Su-
premc Court.

This is curious mattcr.-I'hc lover
goes to ancighboring tribe, fixes his eagle
glance upon the maid that fills his eve,
watches her movements with perseverance
day by day, until she happens to stray
in some retired spot, by grove or rivulct,
then, in a transport of ardor, rushcs upon
her with a rough club or wooden sword,
knocks her down, beats her over the head
until she is scnselcss, then drags her of
to his own tribe, and receives the blush
ing confession that her heart is won.
They then become man and wife. A
complete illustration, this custom, of the
saying that "a faint heart never won fair
lady" But we should like to catch them

Michigan Wool.

The Woollcn Mandatory in this city
is now engaged in working up the first, or
nearly the first lot Of wool ever exported
from the peninsular state. From some
experience in both wool and wheat
growing, we are confident that the labor
and capital employed in producing wool
in Michigan, obtain a much larger profit,
than is acquired in the production of
wheat. Both the soil and climate are adj
mirably adapted to the keeping of sheep
aud the growth of fine wool. The soil is

We gather the following information in regard
to business, sc. in the City of New York, from
the Commercial Gazette of the 18th ultimo. The
Gazette says 1--WE have to record an active inn
proycment in business operations during the past
week; our merchants are doing a brisk trade and
on safe principles. They have every facility
afforded by the Banks, by whom good business
paper remains in request and is done at less than
the legal interest: notwithstanding goods remain
low in price, especially dry goods, which leave
but "A small profit, if any, to the importer. We
observe that stocks have improved at to-day's
board, and as the surplus capital must be employed
there seems disposition to invest in these sccu-
rites. We have to look forward to the approach
ing extra session of Congress to see what grand
financial measures arc to he introduced, but arc
certainly at loss to conceive what course can be
adoptcdby Congress which can affect the Banks
with which the States are so Immediately idcnti-
fled; it appears to require power greater than
Congress TO remedy the evil, aud the citizens of
the United States will themselves have to apply
the proper remedy"
