We take the following paragraphs from the London
correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce
The Protectionists have at last selected leader
for their party in the House Of Commons and certain
ly not before they wanted one for when they left
Peel, when Peel left them, they made sad affair
of their position Curiosity, of course, will be felt
your side of the Atlantic to know who this person
thus distinguished is, what his qualifications for
such post, and also what have been his pursuits,
merits and fame, hitherto. 1t is my duty therefore
to inform you that the dignity of the starvation lead
ership in the Commons has been very properly bes-
towed upon Lord George Bentick, major in the
army, member for Lynn, and second son of the Duke
of Portland. His Lordship has not been known in
the House a of business; a casual
debater, though he has always lent his willing aid, by
voice and VOTE to se all inquiry relative to the Corn
and Game laws. He has, however, a name, but it is
quite in different field from that of politics. The
noble lord has, for years past devoted all his talents
to racing and racers and is looked upon as the high
est Newmarket authority. believe he is president
of the Jockey Club, and has the singular honor of
having transported poor for poaching hares
and pheasants, than any half dozen OF his brother
protectionsts As yet he has not displayed any very
remarkable aptitude for his Office, any very sterling
ability. He speaks fuently and with considerable
holiness, at times swelling into the clustering style-
habit caught perhaps, from the fraternity of horse
dealers and blacklegs with whom he necessarily
comes in union upon the turf. His great speech, if
so ii be called, upon the timber duties but
it contained nothing bnt the usual fallaces, and
scarcely line worthy of note except the folowIeg
"Great alarm, his lordship said, had been created
in Canada by the proposed reductions and the people
beginning consider whether not they would
be better to join the United States of America He

pressive of the same feeling. The present moment
was pregnant with fruitful consequences This was
not Just the time TO quarrel with the colonies, when
America was arming her seabord; and when John
Quincy Adams was basphemously calling to his aid
the word of God, as justification for lighting up the
tirebrands and unleashing the helhounds of war on
our territory Of Oregon"
duction of the timber duties was agreed to by ma
iority of 49, which number have already commended
about the real bona de majority for free trade in
the House of Commons.
But to return to this leader of the monopolsts. 1t
is highly gratifying to think that parsonage truly
nobly decended, being with proud quarterings in
his individual tracing his pedigree up to Its
founder famed for brilliant deeds glorious achiev-
ments the field, has stood forward to gloa over the
miseries of his fellow men, and proffer to lead the
forlorn hope against civilization plenty and peace
Lamentabe are the faults of the peerage, of the
scions belonging cnobled houses it is gratifying
ascertain that the old nobility of England not
eager, in the lower house, to place themselves in front
of the starvation corps.
As told you in my letter by last steamer, the Po-
lish instruction is at end that is for all the pur-
poses Of national movement But though hope is
lost for the regeneration of Poland seeds have been
sown which will rpen to the use of the Austrian
government. The ferocity of the Gacian peasantrv,
and the mass of massacres which they perpetrated
upon the families of the Polish mobiles, have given
these ger-sers love of power and thirst for blood
The Polish nobility have been the butchered party
now, the Austrian authorities and mobiles who will
replace the unhappy victims, must eventually meet
the same fate A storm, too, is brewing IN Germany,
and later it will burst The lesson taught
to the Gacian peasantry will not be lost upon their
brethren of Germany. There is too much intellect
in the latter country long to remain beneath the iron
Sceptres of Austria and Prussia. The monarch OF
Berlin seems to sniff the coming gale, and has his
long promised Constitution done up, Secldum arte,
to meet any contingency, and to be brought forward
as circumstances may require. But the Emperor at
Vienna has not yet set his house in ORDER has he
prepared, like King Frederick William, tub of any
kind for the whale. revolution in the Austrian
territories will let loose a spirit which statesman
will be enabled to control. Metternich cannot live
forever and his demise, like the death Of Louis Phil
ippe, may be taken advantage Of for the purpose OF
carrying out those political principles of which you
read in the censored press of Austria but for
which Mazzni is in exile and the Bandieras suffered.
The policy of the present Chancellor of Austria is
SUBTLE and hitherto has proved successful but snug
gled publications will prove more than match for
Prince Metternich and his boast of 100000 sabres
| and bayonets.
