Previous to the onlay of that act, the statut — in Couneil on the subject were ee te circumstances, such as rous and de- Senone ervessey ties any intelligible and settled principles. Usually, a grester quantity of corn wi grown than was required for our own consumption. When there wasa scarcity, the exportation of all kinds of grain was prohibited, and even bounties offered wg es ghee from abroad. When, on the other |, there wasa glut in the country, bounties were offered for its exportation. From an — period, certainly as early as the reign of Hen- ty VI, the principle of protection to home-grown corn has been eee maintained by our Legis- lature. In the reign ot James I. the importation of for wheat was prohibited when the price in the English market was below 32s. per quarter; and in the reign of Charles II., when the commerce of England became more extended, it ‘seems a com- plete sliding scale was established, the duty on fo- reign wheat being 16s. when the price here was 53s. pe omeee orunder ; 83. when between 63s. and 3, and when above the last price all imports to be allowed free. The same line of policy may be traced pervading the whole of the succeeding in the law until 1773, when they assumed a more constant and shape. By the act of 13 Geo. Ill, the duty was 24s. 8d. when wheat was under 50s. per quarter, and when the price was at or above 54s. the duty was 6d. These rates seemed to have been with a view of keeping the price of wheat as nearly as possible at 50s. per quarter.— — regard: the greatervalue of money in those days, w: pr ly be about equal to 65s. the quarter at the present time. Shortly alter the commencement of the last great war, the pivot was Boh tars etek ari ign was . falling to 74d. when the price reached 663. date FE r. ree ded in imgan act absolute! prohibiting the importation of foreign wheat uti the price in our markets had been, for three con- secutive above 80s. per quarter. Another law was passed in 1822, prohibiting the importation of foreign wheat whem the prices were at or under 70s. per bg admitting it when between 70s. and 12s; when between 80s. and 85s. ata duty of 5s; and when above 85s. at a duty of ls.

Tur Stave Trang —The Augsburg Gazttte, of the 234 ult. states, that conferences have been held in London between the Earl of Aberdeen, Count Dietrichstein, and Baron Puasen, for a modification of the clause 1n the treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, which declares that if a vessel has on board more water and provisions than would be re quired for her crew, the circumstance shall be held 4s a reason for suspecting her to be ver. . Paince ALuert.—Rumors are afloat in the fash- ionable world, that the most illustrious person in the kiagdom proposed to Lord John Russell, during the late negotiations relative to his forming an admin- istration, that the rank and dignity of king consor- should be accorded to the prince. Lord John Rus- sell, it is said, held out no hope ot accomplishing the measure. It remains to be seen whether Sir Rebert Peel will prove more accommodating. The Dutch are spending large sums of money in reclaiming tracts of land from the sea. ‘Thus far they have had considerable success in their opera- operations. But Neptune is a wily fellow, and though he may consent to be driven away, he will perhaps return again to-morrow. The commerce of Amsterdam has increased in a very remaikable manner.

In 1845 the importation of cotton chiefly from the United States was 22,333 bales, or double what it was in _ The increase is owing to the development which the neigh- boring towna_of Harlem has taken as a manufactur- ing e. The inhabitants even prediet that it will soon become a formidable rival to your gigantic Manchester. A Monster Prosect.—Two French engineers, Messrs. Franchut and Du Motay, have projected a most startling mode of communication between Dover and Calais. They propose to accomplish this object by a tunnel, to be composed of a series of iron tubes, of about four metres long, with a diame- ter of two and a half. The worke being commenced simultaneously on the two opposite coasts, when the tubes reach the water, ether tunes are to be successively let down from a vessel placed over the boundary of the last tube, the orifice of this tube beimg closed by a disk in wood. The descending tube 18 to be suspended from a crane by a cord, which attaches itself, on ome in contact, to a sort ot wheel @xed in the tube below, and the two having been betore adjusted to each other, the locks OF springs with which they are provided, serve to bolt ther together water-tight, and then the wooden disk of the one is carried torward to close up the end of the other.

Ireland. - _.Mr. O'Connell continued his repeal agitation un- til the 26ch ult., when he left the Conciliation Hall gentlemen to manage the business in his absence, while he took his seat in Parliament to advocate the abolition of the corn laws, and vote for cheap bread. Prior to leaving Dublin there was a meet- ing of repeal members of parliament. This meetin was held at Radley’s Commercial Buildings, the 23 ult. Mr. O'Connell opeaed the business by asking if there were any gentleman present who was pre- pared to support the views of the Dublin “ores 4 Mail, with regard to the formation of an “Iris! Party.” If there were any such, person present let him hold up his hand. This invitation not being complied with, the hon. gentleman said, that that part of the business being disposed of, it remained tor them to consider what course the Irish members ought to purse under existing circumstances. For his part he was determined to proceed to parliament d give his voice in favor of a removal of all re- rictious on food, and to Bs Sarg any coercion bill that might be introduced,unless accompanied by re- medial measures. Mr. W.S. O’Brien, M. P., did not consider it expedient just now to attend in Par- lament, believing that he would be of more benefit to his country by acting in Conciliational Hall. If, however, the government attempted to pass any pe- nal enactment, he would feel bound to go over to London, and give itevery opposition which the forms ot the House admitted, unless, as Mr. O’Con- nell observed, it were accompanied by measures of real, substantial, and undoubted benefit. With re- gard to the corn laws, he (Mr. O’Brien) was not prepared to vote for their total and immediate re- peal: The Queen’s speech having arrived, was read, and Mr. O'Connell then moved the follow: resolution, which was adopted :—“ That the Irt members going over to London do hereby pledge themselves to oppose to the utmost all government coercive measures which shall be brought forward, if they are not accompanied by measures calculate to settle the differences between landlords and ten- ants in Ireland.” = i ae. Brewster has been appointed Solicitor Ge- neral. Germany. Our advices from Berlin are to 28d January. Matters are pretty much as usual, and nothing particular is stirring. The old tale 18 again being repeated, that the King of this country will certain- ly, some fine morning, astonish us by the gift of a constitution. It is said to be drawn up, and only to await the royal signature. But for that I fear it will have to wait a very long time. It seems rather strange, if the King “has the slightest intention of giving the long-promised constitution, that he should demand of the government of Franktort the aboli- tion of the liberty of the press as he has done, for a constitution without liberty of the press would be like a body without life. But I repeat again, in op- position to all that has been, is, and may be said, that Mr. Frederick William has no more intention of according a constitution to his people than he has of selling off his crown and sceptre, and setting up in business as a shoemaker. The governinenthas the intention of putting down all gambling places, and other governments of this country intend to do the same. It is a fact, howe- ver, that two or three of our petty princes, whose kingdoms are hardly bigger than a good sized farm, derive their principal means of subsistence from au- thorising gambling-houses. The accounts we receive from our emigrants to Queen and Prince Albert. the United States excite great indignation. Hun- dreds and thousands of them it seems are suffering direct distress from relying too im plicitly on the lying promises of emigration agents. The Ameri- can governs really ought to take some measures for the welfare of the poor creatures who flock to their country, principally on account of the represen- tations of people who state themselves to be its au- thorised agents. Our government is warmly oppo- sedto emigration. The King himself some time ago wrote a letter to the authorities, directing them to advise the peasants, in his name, not to quit the country, and it is now said that effective measures for producing that result, are about to be taken. From the other states of this country {there is no intelligence worth relating. Foreign Theatricals. Tho whole interior of her pentose.

It was nofine speech maker, no victim | to maudlin sentiment; but an impetuous youth, whuse whole soul was absorbed in one strong emotion, ist speak the inspiration of heart. All festations of Romeo’s disposition were given with equal truth; but the grief in Friar Lawrence’s cell, when Romeo set forth the sorrows of his banishment in tones of ever increasing anguish, till at last it reached the culminating point, and he dashed himself upon the ground with real despair, took the house by storm.
