Every one in Europe IL now looking on inc P'oeo''
ings Of the British Parliament. The Corn Laws are
not only agitating England, but the whole civiized
world As a means of relieving the dslresses OF 'he
laboriog classes il will / am afraid, not be ade-
ouate 10 the measure of their suferngs, and as
commercial measure il too late for the British
manufacturer to derive those benefits from it whic b
would have been its consequence had it passed lm-
nedatey after he establish ment of peace in the years
Isl5?l7. The whole commercial policy of the Unit
ed States and Of the continent of Europe, would
thereby have undergone signal change England
would have become the great workshop Of the world.
But that moment is now passed-,he nations who
found themselves restricted in, or excluded FROM the
British markets. were forced to their attentio to
manufactures, and to become in that respect ndepen-
dent of England the Latter country had declared
herself of them The restrictive policy of England
begol similar policy in the United States and IN
Europe and is great question, whether now, after
the investment of millions in all kinds Of domestic
manufactures these nations will be willing TO abandon
what they have CONNIE iced, and what has thus far
paid liberal interest," in order once more to be re
duced to Birth customers. The United States may
perhaps be willing To try new experiment, but on
the continent of Europe, and especially in Germany
the English are daily loosng old markets; and the
abolition Of the Corn Law in part, wholly, will not
re open them. The German tariff league-that is
now its new name-has proceeded too far to be Sc
riuusy threatened by commercial policy OF
England; its champions have placed new national
principle at its head and the alteration Of the British
Corn Laws which will allow the wheat Of Germany
10 be exchanged for British manufactures, will only
cause an additional duty be laid British cotton
goods. The Germans are animated by singular
spirit of indepe not unlike that which united
their might in throwing off the French yoke, and
they look upon the commercial and manufacturing
supremacy Of England with even more jealous eyes
than they ever did on the military despotism of POI
leon Bonapare. So you see the Duke of Bucking
ham was not much out Of the way in his Argument
after all Not that he was not defending sinful
policy but that policy had been adhered to too long
to wipe off crime and punishment at the same
time. Still England will have The Corn Laws
abolished and what a whole nation will, no faction
clique, however powerful has the power to refuse
the English people will have bread cheaper than it
was is but will they have enough' England is
drawing complete revolution; the wisdom of
her statesmen, the loyalty of the people, and their
good sense, may prevent it from becoming bloody
If any one were to ask me whether England
will loose her influence, her wealth, or her power
by such change, should say, no On the contrary,
she will juvanesce, she will appear in the eyes of the
world dressed in garb suitable to the spirit of the
age, and in diplomatic point of view, England will
have played the prepenre France and destroy what
little propaganda there still remained in the French
nation. do not believe that the present Ministry

in all directions. Remember the !" mob''-as the
Ministerial prints term given number of people liv-
ing on their daily incomecs organised is behaving
with exemplary fortitude and resignation and is re-
guary tutored to remain strictly within the pale of
the law. This is not the molly crowd of Chartists
as they appeared some three four years ago, de-
manding new form Of Government, and complete
demolition of all existing institutions, and committing
excuses, and destroying property wherever they
went. This is not the furious mob, whom sense OF
wrong and feeling of woe beyond The power of ut
terance, has goaded on to madness, and who is now
Unfortunately attacking friend and foe TO- Stake its
thirst for revenge. 1t is the consciousness of right
which animates the people now-the satisfaction
that what they demand is just. And
"Thrce is he armed who has his quarrel just.
