and men like the bOttle-holder Lord Palmerston,
Lord John Russell the bantam, ct cetera Their
fundamental political principles are dlametrcay OPP

masses is at stake, will show at once who are and
who not, the friends of progress and true re-

long as the present ministry lasts there is
chance of any Improvement in the representa-
tion of the country; the masses will receive
no consideration, and laws VIII continue to be
enacted they have been in this country, for
the benefit OF the few the wealthy and the titled
not to promote the interests of the industrious and
manufacturing classes, on whose energies the coun
try depends for its wealth and rank amongst the
nations OF the world. Till March this patchwork
ministry may possibly survive; but when Parliament
sets seriously to work, shall see the seeds OF
decay producing their deadly harvest, in the crum-
bling Of house built on the sand without any solid
foundation. The people abide their time, and it will
soon and surely arrive.

that considering the large number of vessels at sea,
the surface Of the great ocean must be dotted over,
almost in every part with the sails of the countless
feet This, however, Is not the case the ocean,
like the land, has its frequented highways and its
wide regions of loneliness. If an observer furnished
with a forty observation-disclosures power of vision,
could be elevated to height great enough to give
him view of the whole Atlantic, he would be struck
by beholding hundreds OF vessels following one
another certain lines along avey irregular course
while over large portion OF the surface not sail
would be visible Thus, he would see the ships which
leave this country for the Cape or India pursue at first
southwesterly course until they reached the neigh
borhood Of Madeira, then keep more directly to the
south at a safe distance from the African coast, UNI

the southwest, in the direction OF South America,

that steam vessels possess an advantage over sahng
ships, in being able to strike out new and direct
