FREE-TRADE IS SUICIDE ON THE PART ON THE PART OF BRITISH ARTIZANS, and that by not preferring a moderate protection to out and out free-trade, the liberal party will become very unpopular in this country. There is no man on either side of party politics who understands the practical interests of the empire better than Sir Howard Douglas, and no one expresses them so well. In his speech on the late debate, Sir Howard Douglas explains the true policy of England The whole amount of manufactures exported to India does not at present exceed .•"8,000,000; iu 1841, £7,691,666, including- Ceylon. If we were to encourage, as we might, the natural productions of British India, to enable her the better to pay for British goods, there is scarcely any assignable limit to the increase of that vast market of consumption for the production of British industry; the demand for British cotton goods. in particular, if the population took but at the rate of Its. per he. d, would amount to re51i,00.,,000 sterling ; and the demand for woollens, silks, pottery, glass, plated wares, cutlery, iron, brass, and copper implements, and an infinity of articles for domestic use, would be prodigiously increased." Let us take Sir Howard Douglas's advice, and endeavour to give employment to British subjects instead of foreigners. Let us reorganise the Colonial system (which is the cause of England's power and greatness) on the principle of moderate protection. Let us prefer to produce our cotton, sugar, timber, &c. from the labour of British subjects, who have British habits, and consume British manufactures entirely, rather than from the degraded labour of the American slave ; and then our demand will be for manufactures and not for gold, the national currency will get out of the present feverish excited state, which gives no dependance to the manufacture r, and keeps the labouring class always within a few weeks of absolute want. At present it is no matter how good and certain a merchant's prospects are of disposing of goods, he cannot buy them if the British money market is deranged, or, in other words, if specie (which is the groundwork on which is built all confidence and credit) is being exported to foreign countries, or beyond the limit of the home and Colonial trade,  _ Even the comparatively slight trial we have had of the fruits of Our

SUICIDE. —On Monday, a man named Crooks, 57 years of age, a widower with six children, laid himself deliberately across the rails on the Sheffield and Manchester line, as a tra n was approaching, and was literally cut in pieces. No less than 109 gentlemen have: been gazetted as cornets and ensigns in the army dining the preceding month. 31 only of whom have purchased their commissions. The promotions from the ranks have also been numerous. On Thursday, two gentlemen were taken beiore Alderman Gibbs, and remanded, relative to the issue of forged scrip in the Buckinghamshire Railway. They Lad had £6BO advanced on 1000 shares, the scrip for which was afterwards discovered to be forged. At Penrith cattle fair, Mr. William Armstrong lost bank notes and bills to the amount of £9OO. They were found by a yoeman 'named Hetherington, who• got them proclaimed by the town crier, and received a shilling as a reward of his honesty.  May 12, 1846.  Mr. Charles Dickens, like many other great men, is about to seek relaxation repose, and sundry other comforts, on the continent. It is to he hoped that the public will profit more largely by this sojourn than they did by Mr. Dickens's trip to Italy. ANOTHER CANDIDATE FOR MARTYRDom.—Mr. lon Browne, M.P. for Mayo, has intimated that he WILL at certain periods attend' railway committees, although he must give a great dea of trouble, owing to his ignorance of engineering and railroads, but that he will NOT attend during the sittings of the House of Commons. _ _  The King Of the French has written an autograph letter to Sir Robert l'eel, expressing his Majesty's acknowledgments for the kind and handsome manner in which the right hon. baronet had proposed the toast of his Majesty's health at the late civic banquet given by the Lord Mayor of London.  MR. O'CONNELL'S CONSISTENCY !—On Thursday evening week, at Exeter-hall, Mr. O'Connell made a speech in favour of a resolution for the abolition of capital punishment. He made another speech the same evening at the Crown and Anchor, in which he declared " that the red hand of God was against murder," and that " he who shed blood deserved that his blood should be shed." A curious shipment was made a few days since from our quays. It consisted of a quantity of screened gravel, in sacks, to be laid down in a gentleman's garden at Valparaiso. It is remarkable that whilst this shipment of gravel for one part of America was going on at Poole, a vessel from another part of the same continent was discharging at Liverpool a cargo of white gravel just imported.—Poole Herald.

FASHIONABLE WORLD.  Among those who are most likely to be well informed, it is confidently stated that her Majesty's confinement is not expected before the end of May. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompAnied by the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal, left Claremont for town on Tuesday afternoon in a carriage and four, es; corted by a party of Light Dragoons. Prince Alfred and the Princess Alice, accompanied by the Dowager Lad? Lyttelton, were in another carriage and four. Sir Wm. Stanley will entertain a large party at Bee' ton-park, on the 2nd of March, for the Liverpool steeple chase. Sir William is at pr( sent in London.

Mr. Rushton, last week, fined several parties for using unprotected lights in warehouses. , Last week two children were suffocated in this town by having been overlain by their parents. I tThe young man Braithwaite, whose body, we stated last week, was found in a pit at Wavertree, committed suicide. On Wednesday last, a child named Tallent, 18 months' old, living in Albert-street, Totteth-Park, suffocated itaslf whilst drinking a basin of broth. Thursday, the body of a new-born female child was found. in a box under some soil at tbe brick fields, near Great Howard-street. There were no marks of violence. As a proof of the fallen condition of hand-loom weaving, it may be stated that at a sale by auction near Preston, a few days since, fourteen of the best looms were sold for as many shillings. On Friday week, Elias Watson, a lad about fifteen, was letting -street down the jigger-rope at a warehouse in Tithebarn, when he fell into the street, and received such inJury as to cause death on the following Monday. The annual dinner of the Blue Coat Brotherly Society took place on Tuesday, at the Adel hi Hotel, Mr. Foster, the excellent governor of the institution and president of sc'cietY, occupied the chair, and was supported by a great number of clergymen and gentlemen. orb Potatoes are now selling at Ramsey, Isle of Man, at ePer boll of 4481bs , for export to the Liverpool and have r English markets ; and some choice descriptions ave been sold as high as 15s. per boll, as seed for home use.

PRESERVATION OF FLOWERS.—Aar you are fond of having flowers in your room, and as your present garden is so far from your house, you will perhaps be glad to know how to preserve cut flowers as long as possible. The most simple rules are, not to put too many flowers in a glass, to change the water every morning, and to remove every decayed leaf as soon as it appears, cutting off the ends of the stems occasionally, as soon as they show any symptoms to decay. A more efficacious way, however, is to put nitrate of soda in the water ; as much as can be easily taken up between the forefinger and the thumb, put into the glass every time the water is changed, will preserve cut flowers in all their beauty for above a fortnight. Nitrate of potash (that is, common salt petre), in powder, has nearly the same effect, but it is not quite so efficacious.—Mre. Loudon's Lady's Country Companion. THE ERRORS OF Romu.—The Romish Church is infallible and contradictory to herself ; she reduces the whole sacrament to one half ; scripture is veiled by hor own traditions; prayer is made in public in an unknown tongue ; fasting is elevated to the rank of a meritorious performance for salvation, and not retained as a mere discipline of the soul; reliance is placed too often in creatures, and not exclusively in God ; dependance on outward acts of religious worship and alms is substituted for inward acts of thought and grace ; the intention of the priest is made the cause of withholding the presence of Christ in the holy sacrament ; salvation is denied in the most positive terms to all who do not unite with these peculiarerrors, and adopt them as a standard of true religion. Is not this catalogue of practices error ? and are they not additions to the Apostles' Nicene and Athanasian creeds? Where will you find them binding on the conscience, even in the Roman communion before the Council of Trent? At that fatal assembly Rome committed an act of religious suicide. She bound the millstone of changeless additions in the creeds of her triple crown, and it must sink, and is doomed at last never to rise again. This impolitic Council rivetted the chains of infallibility upon those subject to her community. It is equally fatal to break and to bear the chain. She-lost in that city her freedom, and wrote anathemas against her throne.—Hollinsarvorth's Folly of going to Rome for a Religion.
