Difficulties in Great Britain.-The en-
barrassmcnts which beset the Peel Ad
ministration in 4 England have thrown
difficulties in the way of the Ministry
from which no means Of extrcation have
yet been found. Distrust Of Sir Rober,
Peel's ability is openly expressed by
Journals which once supported him. The
withdrawal of the Factory Education Bill
in consequence of the popular opposition,
has drawn upon the Government the re.
proach Of pusil!animi,y for abandoning
a measure which it had brought forward.
The Tory press taunts the Minister for
his weakness and irresolution instead oil
seeking an excuse for him in The Difficult.
ties by which he is surrounded. 1t is de.
clared that the Administration remains in
power only because Of the sheer inability
of any other party TO take the reins OF
Government. The London Spectator
says:
"Where is the dfficully-conquerng
Peel Of I842!-ln England and Scotland,
latent Chartism will re-appear if there
should be civil war in ireland. The real
source of Chartism and Socialism, and all
the other revolutionary ismS, is economi-
cal suffering; where is Sir Robert Peel's
remedy? The Revenue fails: Sir Rob
ert Peel is no longer deemed a great Fl
nance minister Every body feels tNAt
something for the country is wanted,
and Sir Robert Peel proposes nothing
He appears now as the bewildered minis
ter. AS the leader Of party his posi-
ton is no better. Those Of his supporters
whom he offended by his last years
craftsmanship have him now at their mer-
cy. He is so little master ofthe House of
Commons this year that he will probably
have to withdraw or mutlate govern
ment measures Of Importance. The
Wings, whose party was extinct six
months back, are Growing at Peel's en-
barrasSments, and beginning to talk of
coming again. The Prime Minister has
scarcely jealous supporter in the whole
newspaper press. 1t is his deficiency
Craftsmanship during the present year
which has brought him down as a party
leader, and the effect corresponds in de-
gree with the cause.''
1t will be hard matter for any Brit
ish minister to find way to relieve his
country from the ills which have come
upon ii as the results Of a long established
system of aristocratical government
Sir Robert Peel is, no doubt, one of the
ablest men in England-endowed with
administrative qualities Of high order
but it is not wonderful that his resources
tail him-lt would seem that not hing but
a revolution, which is a terrible remedy
for desperate cases, remains as the final
resort OF an oppressed people against a
Government that cannot or will not re-
lieve them.

were "widc awake and one OF them was
observed by a gentleman in the room to

that this was merely practical joke be-

LITERARY PAPERs.-We are pleased at
noting the constantly improving charac-
ter of several Of the New York. leading
literary journals, which are so widely
circulated throughout the country. The

Of American men Of letters. Tho New
Mirror, the Brother Jonathan and the
New World are each most excellent jour
nails. The mirror is the most elegant by
tar, and we value it more highly than ev-
er. The other two are no longer the re.
prints Of precisely the same stories, but
are filled with vigorous original discus
sion. The New World is giving series
of historical "reminiscences, which have
interested US very much, and cannot fail
to be more instructive and useful 10 the

from the English market.

to suit the taste bota Of the

he makes his selections mos, happily q

A MlsER.-The following account Of
Michael Biard (or Baer,) who lately lived
near little York, Penn, is extracted from
the Belmont PENN Repository
"Mr. B. was OF German extraction
His father left him valuable farm OF five
bundled acres, in the vicinity Of York,
with some farming and household articles.
Ito kept tavern for number Of years;
married wife and raised four children.
He accumulated an immense estate, which
he preserved so tenaciously that he never
offered dollar for the education of his
family. He was never known 10 lay out
one dollar in cash for any article he light
be in wan, Of; he would either do without
it or find some person who would barter
with him for something he could not con
veniently sell for money. lie farmed
largely and kept large distilery, which
he supplied entirely with his own grain.
He kept team for the conve vance Of his
whiskey and flour TO Baltimore, which,
hen he could not sell for money, at d
price 10 sui: him, he bartered for neceSsa :
rieS for his family and tavern.
In this way he amassed an estate wor tn
four hundred thousand dollars Such was
his attachment to money that he never
was known to lend or credit dollar to
any man. Upon the best mortgage or
other security that could be given, he
would moi lend cent. He never vested
one dollar in any Of the public funds.
Neither would he keep the notes Of any
Bank longer till he could get them chang
ed. lie deposited his specie in large
iron chest, until it would hold no more.
lie then provided a strong iron hoped
barrel, which he also filled. After his
death, his strong boxes, from whose bourn
no traveller had ever returned, yielded
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars
in gold and silver.
The cause Of lis death was as remark
able as the course Of his life. A gentle.
man from Virginia offered him twelve
dollars per bushel Tor one hundred and ten
bushels Of clover seed; but he would not
sell 1t for less than thirteen dollars, and
they did not agree. The seed was after
ward sent TO Philadelphia, where it sold
for seven dollars per bushel, and five hun
dred and fifty dollars less than the Virgi-
man had offered for it. On receiving an
account Of this sale, he walked through
his far m, went TO his distillery, and gave
various directions to his people. He then
vent to his wagon.house and hanged
himself"

The Mississippian is making a mouth about
Judge Clayton being methodist, and from that
fact the Wings with disposition to unite Church
and State. If there be any truth in this charge,
surely the Loco foco regulators are at the same
thing. If, because the Wings run methodist
for Governor, they are endeavoring to unite
Church and State, what must the Democrats be
aiming at, when they run as their candidates, a
Campbellite preacher, a methodist preacher and
an apostate Episcopalian clergyman. On Their
ticket are the names of their ministers, viz Mat
thews, Clarke, and Hammett The repudiators
are given to find fault with their neighbors, while
they never think to discover any in themselves
The object however sought to be effected by
the Mssssppan, is to induce the people to be
lievc that Judge Clayton is eleetOneering on the
ground Of his being methodist. Their candid
ate, the methodist preacher Clarke is doing thu
same thing, as will be seen by the following arti
