The reduction Of duties on $50 out Of 1900 articles

Jus, now, Peel is decidedly unpopular with oil
classes, because the Income Tax Collectors have
begun to have their forces at every port, imposing
upon every one the unpleasant duty OF stating the

The new Corn Law works pretty well, and has
certainly diminished the speculations, by means OF

might prove King ork.
Be not surprised il, before the end OF two years,

The recent attempts on the Queens life have had
one good effect-they have greatly interested the
public in her safety. Just now, think, she is as
popuer as she was when she first assembled the I
throne. Whatever little pecularities her temper |
exhibited have worn OIL and she appears IN |
the most amiable position as just ruler, kind |
daughter, loving wife, and fond parent What
Byron said of her cousin, the late Princess Char

Prince Albert, if possible, is even more popular
than the Queen. He has so thoroughly identified
himself with the British nation, that he is idoilzed
by ali. Go where one may, never can word be |
u ard against Prince Albert. You may some |
times hear the Queen blamed for having domiced |
the late Premier AT her table--for having been too
hasiy IN the sad affair Of Lady Flora,-tpr being
barely civil to Sir X. Peel,-for having completely
given 'the cold shoulder" TO the Whigs-and for
thousand matters ina, Kind but every one praises
the Prince. He issupposed TO influence the Queeh'J
