A glorious stand 10 be made, under Mr. Mil.

there arises an agreeable murmur OF gossip. ~
when phalanxes should be meeting in deadly Ell
ision, the men suddenly ground their arms and Al.
suss the news Of the day. We do not complain IA
The result, but we do Of the causes. Why make n
stand promise stand, at all, unlsss with mo,,|
reason and to better purpose Why not select abb,
chlefs-why not devise better plan Of operation,
The very name of party is disgraced by such orl,
accomplishments. The disgrace is reflected Or]

lies under this pickering, fugitive, Jack o'lsnlsr
standard, shares in its obloquy
I'VE cannot, for the life Of u.s. see the use or ,k.
amusement Of offering battle merely 10 sccep a.
feat. The smallest calculation would prevent MI
Unnecessary waste Of credit. The premier has AL
rels enough Of their own peculiar kind, wfhou
half dozen lnconsderate gentlemen who are r,slJ
too angry or too idle TO consider what the, ~
about, challenging him to a trial Of strength ~
discovering before the day comes that thew are nd
Ieriy unfit for the task Mr.. Liddell took his ana
on timber, and on one particular part of the tmb,
question: viz; the alleged opinion Of the Brtish ,b
owners that freer importation Of foreign timbs,I
would be injurious to the shipping Interests. H.|
had caught al petition from the Society Of LopdoD|
Ship-owners, and without considering that tb.,l
gentlemen would see in a reduction Of duties AL
probation Of their stock, he forthwith deS.d N
Robert Peel. Immediately half the ship-owner, n
the country, having more in view the general hel J
ties Of their trade than the value of their pre,r
stock, petition in favor Of the reduction. Mr. La
dell has nothing to do but TO make a graceful nd
treat, and smile recantation Of his threats and N
proaches. No soldier in a well-disciplined arm
would have been allowed 10 risk defeat on his Or
yate account, much less one so utterly childish.
when the resistance was of this description il J
| not wonderful. What otherwise would have bee
very wonderful indeed, and what is utterly withOv
precedent, that all the items Of the new tariff w,r
gone through last night. Excepting an Opposite
promoted by free-,raders in literature, agsins, Il
duty on foreign books, conducted without resp.d
Of party, and finally abandoned, there was no ds
cussion, no pause, on the details. Lord John Ru.
sci only was at the pains TO elicit from Sir Robs
Peel, what was OF course obvious TO all that the
naming 10 per cent, on many articles Of manuh
ture is only left for revenue and I'LL the state Of
revenue allows II 10 be removed. The report on NJ
resolutions is to be received on Friday, when we !,
| promised real debate. Lord G. Bentinck plsds
himself TO fight II out on silk, timber, and brand
and, unless his heart fails him, or his party les,
him in the lurch, or his figures on further eaamin,I
! ton prove treacherous we are then 10 have goo
protectionist battle. His loIdship is not man |
run away at a shadow. He must remember that
has now staked his whole political fortune on the,
| fhFaa md IA ,.,k L.. al. j
win. We viii confess we do not envy his lordsh
the responsibility he has undertaken; but vietoriou{
or not he must at least do more than either LddeI
or Miles; otherwise never again must protecnonuj
dare to open his mouth in the House"
But Mr.. Robertson is not the only American couI
sui, who has been laudsbly employed in INTRODUCING
the use of Indian corn Cor as they call it in a
South, corn bread) into England. Mr.. Cowdn, I'D
United States consul at Glasgow, has taken mud|
pains to reconcile the English people to the con-
sumption Of grain which appears upon the table,
Of the richest gentlemen in the southern and wss,I
ern States Of the Union. Mr.. Cowdn has spread
a repas, before the people of Glasgow, at which
variety of preparations of the Indian corn and ID
meal was set before his guests. This exhibited
will amuse many Of our readers; but we are su|
prised to find no appearance of hominy at the sn|
tertainment. 1t is nothing more than the cou|
first beat, then sfted from It's husks, and then w,l
boiled until it becomes perfectly soh, whom il l
served up as vegetable dish at table, either in 4
our English customers, that they are yet ID
norant Of many of the luxuries of corn--th1
it plays many parts at the table---that il nd
only feeds hogs, and horses, and cattle Of d,
sorts, but man; not only the southern slaves, b:
the first ladies and gentlemen in the land. Itn
swers many more purposes than their OATS Al
without the prejudice, too, which DR.. Johnsous n
fniton excited among the Scotch, viz "Oau, |
grain which in England i, generally given to AoH|
but in Scotland supports the people.n
We are indebted to the Glasgow Argus for u
following account of Mr.. Cowdin's zeal and Of
perimens: a..
"INDrAN CORN MEAL.-The great importance
this article for food, and especially as cheap al
nutritious substitute for potatoes begins to be q,
throughout the country; and the zeal Of Mr.. Cowdi
the American consul in this city, in bringing il N
fore the public, is deserving of the highest pnis
This gentleman has not been satisfied with the n
cent exhibition to our wealthy citizens of the md
M the various forms In winch IL can be used; he ID
sought to introduce it into less wealthy locaitie
and has most obgingly supplied numerous demand
made on him, not only for quantities of meal
also recipes for its manufacture into bread and pu
dings, &c. Having kindly transmitted quantrj
Of the meal to Provost Hector, of Pollokshaws, II
provost invited number of gentlemen in the vicij

rous Institutions in the town, to meet in the Tos
Hall, on Monday evening last, to partake of varioi
kinds Of bread made from Indian corn meal, by MI
Hozier and Mr., Henderson, bakers. The PROVED
having taken the chair, and they having partaken
an excellent supper, the landlord produced padding
and bread of various kinds made Of Indian cor|
which were highly relished by all present. As
of great importance at the present moment to knci
the uses 10 which this corn meal can be put, u
give the following description of the bread and pu
dlngs used at this interesting meeting: The quail
of these, without exception, was excellent and |
the course Of the evening opinions were freely 4
pressed by those well qualified to Judge that Wild
