The Effect of the Ja on Kuropean Positics and Commerce, (from the Loudon Limes, November 20.) ‘The result of the Presidential election in the United Btates had been anticipated from various signs of dissolu- tion in the whig party of that country, and especially from the proceedings of the convention at Baltimore, which served only to nomirate a candidate whom the party mever cordially adopted and to increase the dissen- sions which it ought to have terminated. The success of General Pierce, and of the democratic patty throughout the Union, has been not only a victory, but au unprece- dented triumph. Twenty-seven of the States which now compose that ¢ confederation, represented by 246 ‘votes im the electoral college, declared for the democratic eendidate ; while General Scott obtained dnly forty-two yotes fromthe States of Massachusetts, Vermont, Ten- meesee, and Kemtucky.

Of all the political questions on which the election turmed that of free trade was by far the most prominent and important to native industry,and one of the chief causes of their dircomfiture was that their position became every day more incompatible with the growing industry of the ~ American people and with the commercial policy of other free nations. The triumph of General Pierce is essen- tially a triumph of free trade. It puts an end for ever to the attempt to raise the import duties of the American tariff of 1846; and it leads us to hope that a new aud more ay ightened spirit will prevail in the new cabinet with reference to its commercial relations with ourselves and wh the colonies of the British empire. The motives chat urge the people ot the United States to adopt an un- sicted policy in trade. because St Is obviously condu- | -a to the interests of theic vast territory and of their ecee industry, are not less favorable to the main- tenance of pence, eid especially of pease with this ocuntey; for no gains of rapine or of war can for @ moment be weighed in value or in amount against the results of the steady and pacific progress of a free People. But althe our own, lead us to hope that the term of General Pierce's administration may strengthen the re- tions of amity and good-will between the United States and this country, we cannot participate in the enthusi- astic confidence of the party which hes just raised him to power, for we cannot overlook some of the darker ele- ments in its comporition, or some of the wilder in{luences to which this government will be expesed, Lhe most powerful of all the forces which are combined in this electoral achievement is that of the slave invere: The . slave States have not stood im so commanding # position » the Union since the Presidency of Jefferson as they do at this hour, for, under the plausible pretext of maintain- rg the indiseoluble union of tho confederation. they aeceeded in making the whole nation, including + creeat States, submit in # mapner to their influence adopt their candidste. Hence the rout of the free rs, the abolitior , and the party opposed to xtension of slavery is even more complete than that cir allies, the old Whigs. ‘The new government will , then, committed on this ground to jemands the slave holding States, opposed as are to humanity, to good policy, and to law.

[From the Liverpool Chronicle. Nov. 20 ] In the decided success of General Pierce, by a majo: rity far greater thap has elected any President for the American Union since the days of General Jackson. we see. happily, the triumph of that principle of free trade which has taken so unmistakable a hold of the two greatest commercial countries on the face of the globo— our own and our transatlantic ceusins. This gratifyi: intelligence arrives at a most opportune moment, an cannot fail to have a very satisfactory influeace on the deliderations of our own parliament when it comes, next week, to the consideration of Mr Villiers’ motion for jmaking free trade the irrevecable policy of the British | mation. Asregards the Americens themselves, they are far too shrewd and too fer-recing a people mot to be thoroughly penetrated with the conviction that a policy em- pire—whioh has cheapened the necessaries of life to the sons of toil, and correspondingly increased the productive power of every branch of manufactures and commerce in | these islamds—must also be of inestimable advantage to themselves. Barter, which is the soul of commerce, re- ceives, in the acce of General Pierce, an immense impetus and cannot feil to still further develope the resources of a people eo rich as the Americana in the raw material of trade. of which we can plentifally avail our- elves, ond give them in returo the products of our own land, which they have abundant capacity to consume. On this side of the Atlantic, the contest which has been brought to this successful issue has bem mainly looked at with reference to that great experiment which, ten years ago, Sir Robert Peel ventured to inaugurate, and every subsequent step in which bas more effectively demon- strated its soundness. With us, unfettered commerce has become something more than a theory—it is now a realized fact. The practice bas been found to square admirably with the principle, and, what political economists seventy years ago proved ought to be rule of nations, we have worked out to a satisfactory issue. In the United States the same results are seem in the operations ofa reduced tariff, which has cheapened articles of import te the con- sumer, and, in the same ratio, has filled the Federal ex- chequer to overflowing. No doubt a still further reduc- tion of the tariff will follow the elevation of the new democtatic chief—in other words, a still nearer approach toa perfeot system of reciprocity between two nations bound by so many ties of interest and consanguinity; and, at no distant day, more tardy and less energetic nations will see that their own material advancement will be best promoted by following an example £0 nobly set, and preg- nant with bliseful consequences to all concerned. This Presidential centest, which has now terminated, must, ef necessity, accelerate the progress of free trade in other parts of the world; for. when England and America tet the example, less favored people will not be slow to follow it, The American whigs have been signally put to the rout in this contest—placed. in fact, hors de combat ‘The feeling for some time past, in the “old country,” has been that Pierce would cuccecd. but no one was prepared for so triompbant a display in his favor, and, considering the fondness which the citizers of the United States have shown of recent years for military candidates,. it was thought that the general who conquered Mexico would make at least a reapectable fight at the polling booths. But, aithough the veteran soldier, Gen Scott united in bis per- gon many attractive features, he represented 8 ‘pohey which was fast becoming obsolete. and which has now received its quietus. The city of that dis- tinguished American, Daniel Webster, enabled him to perceive that the days of American whiggery were numbered; and reading aright the feelings and the sympathies of his countrymen, we see it stated that he forwarded a message from his death-bed to & political friend in whose welfare he took a warm inter- est, with this prophetic assurance, “that from the second of November, (the day of the Presidential elestion,) the whig party, as a notional party, would exist only in history.” The whigs of the Union approximate in prin- ciple to our protectionists. Like them, they have been unable to read the signs of the times; like them, too, they bave resolutely oppored the popular will, and like them, they are now left high and dry on the barrea shore. Time was wken this once powerful party in the Union was in especial favor with the middle and the upper clarses in England; but their stubborn resistance to com- mercial freedom has sorely tried the temper of their ad. mairers on this side of the water, and. irrespective of their conduct on the slavery question, they have forfeited all sympathy bere by playing the same game of dogged ob- silnacy which has rendered Lord Derby's party powerless in the House of Commons, and put them out of favor with the nation. This is the more to be regretted, when we reflect upon the great number, of edu- cated and euperior men who are to be found in the ranks of the American whigs=- men some of whom would have | dignified any station in the republic, and whose personal talents may fairly be acknowledged to be in advance of their epponcnts. New political combinations will. mo doubt, arise out of the present prostrate condition of the American whigs; but every subsequent movement cannot fail to strengthen and to consolidate the principle of free trade, which has achieved eo signal a victory im the person of & man whore name until recently was almost unknown to the politicians of Europe, Whatever regret may exiet amonget us that the leading politicians of the United States are so rarely candidates for the Prosiden- The American whige had | oy. it is consotitory to reflect that, when the choice of the built their stronghold in the old fortress of protection | nation has fallen upon pertons previously unknown to fame, their conduct, almost withoat exception, has been influenced by a wise discretion, and a fine appreciation of the deep responsibility attached to the important office which they have been called upon to discharge. [From the Glasgow Mail, Noy. 18.] ‘The triumph of the democratic party in the Prosid tial election of the United States, is an important event. even in its European aspects, especially if it should be followed hy the success of the same party in Congress, ‘The statement made by us yesterday. however, that the election of Mr, Pieroo ensures the success of all the de- “mocratic tickets, judicial, municipal, and congressional, must be understood as referring only to the State of New York; while. as regards the Union in general, it is yet un- certain what party may preponderate in the Senate and House of Representatives The two great parties in Con- gress have been so equally balanced of late that the Ex- ecutive has been sometimes unable to give effect to its own principles. Thus we have seen a whig President and a whig administration installed at Washington for the last four years. protectionist in principle and profession, and yet incapable of altering materially a democratic and semi-free trade tariff. In like manner we may possibly find a democratic President and administration ueabla to advance a step farther in a free trade direction, But if the immense majority which is eaid to have placed Franklin Pieree at the head of the poll really indicates, as it seems to do, ademooratic reaction resulting in large accession of force to that party in Congrees, we my ‘then expect some changes in the policy of the United States, of an important and chequered character We may anticipate further efforts to liberalize the tariff, and to extend the commercial rela- tions of the republic with Great Britain and other coun tries of Europe, But; together with this perfectly legitt- mate mode of promoting the mercantile and maratime greatness of the United Staten, we may expect also to see some essentially different means of aggrandisement re- sorted to. The last democratic President annexed Texas, and plunged the republic into war with Mexico. The next will doubtless wink hard at Cuban expeditions, may find some pretect for declaring war inet Spain, and add the splendid and coveted island of Cuba to the federal Union. The same passions which urge the United States into s couree of territorial annexation, will induce them to take a closer interest in European politics. Should a new outbreak like that of 1848 ocour during the predomi. nance of the demoeratis party in the United States, question of intervention may sssume a practical ai decisive shape. A Roman republic may not be allo to be overthrown so simply as on the occasion, Kos- suth may receive in a new Hungarian struggle more sub- stantial ald than the empty cheers which greeted him in various States of the Union. And should Louis Na- poleon be s0 reckless as to attack our own peaceful ehores, and so successful as to place our liberties for a timein danger, we might celoulate with certainty on the alliance. offensive and defensive of the great kindred power which has sprung into existence on the western shores of the Atlantic, In democratic government in the United States there would be combined in a larger degree than in the present holders of power these va rious characteristics—an earnest desire for greater com- meroial freedom, an ardent passion for territorial ageran- disement, and an active sympathy with the cause of Ku- ropean liberty. mn eager thirst for military conquest, and n domineer- Ing interference with the smaller States of the American Continent, form the main ovils to be apprehended from the democratic party in the United States, They have raised aman to the head of the government, with few claima on such a distinction, beyond the possesion of a military title, and some few scraps of military experionce; while the great olvilis the and Websters, disci- plea of the great Washington, wha have #o often ro- otraimed the military luna of the republic. are re- moved from the scepe, The old equilibrium is destroyed, and new forces Beye come into play.

THE FREE TRADE PROCKEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. ‘The exact terms of Mr. Villiers’ motion on free trade are now communicated to the House of Commons, and are as follows:— “That it is the ion of this House that the im- roved condition of the country, and particularly of the di classes, la mainly the result of recent commer- cial legislation, and of the act of 1846, which established the free admission of foreign corn. and that act was a wire, just, and beneficent mvasure; and that it is the opininn of the House, that the maintainanc id further extension of the policy of free trade, as op) ‘to that of protection, will best enable the property and industry of the nation to bear the burdens to which they are exposed, and will most contribute to the general Protperity, welfare, and contentment of the people. That is House is ready te take into consideration any measure consistent with the ples of this resolution that may be laid before it by her Majesty’s ministers.” The motion wes to come on for discussion, Tuesday, the 28d ult. Thursday, the members met only to make arrange- mente for joining in the Wellington procession. Friday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave notice that on Tuesday -next. he would move the following amendment to Mr. Villier’s motion on free trade.—‘'That this House acknowledge with satisfastion, that the cheaj ness Of provisions occasioned by legisiation, has mainly contributed to improve the condition. and to increase the comfort of the working claeses, and that unrestricted competition having been adopted after deliberation, is the principle of our commercial system This House is of opinion that it is the duty of the govermment, unre servedly, to adhere to that policy, im these measures of financial and administrative reform, which, under the circumatences of the country, they may deem it their duty to introduce.” Some amusement has been caused by the disco that the most brilliant points in Disraeli’s eulogy on ‘Wellington, delivered in the Heuse of Commons, are sto- len. word for word, to the extent of fifty limes or so, from ‘Thiers’ oration on Marshal Gouvion de 3t, Cyr, and to be found in the London Morning Chronicle, of July 1, 1848. THE WELLINGTON FUNERAL. ‘The event of the week has been the funeral of the Duke of Wellington. It is impossible to convey an idea of the excitement that prevailed throughout th opolis, the general holiday having liberated all cl: ad every one being anxious to “astist’’ at all the ceremonies. The lying in state terminated on Wednesday evening, at five o'clock, having been visited during the day, by 66,073 persons. Inthe morning, before the admission of the Public, the deputations from abroad visited the hall where the body lay, and were received by the Lord Chamberlain, and Kendall, the late Duke's valet. The troops were then admitted, and to the number of 2,000, defiled before the coffin. In the evening, the present Duke of Wellington, other relatives of the deceased, passed come time in the chamber. At a late hour, the body was removed to the Horse Guards. On Thursday morning, the whole line of the route of the procession was taken possession of by the crowd early. and multitudes who had paid bigh prices for seats at windows and balconies found themselves unable to make their way to these eligi- ble positions. At 8 o’clgck :he barricra were closed; at 9, the rain, which had Ween falling, cleared off, and the morning became (for London) even brilliant.’ By half- past 7A. M , the:whole troops had taken up their posi- tion; quarter to 8 seventeen guns were fired as a pre- paratory signal; 8 o’clock. the curtains of a large marquee were drawn aside, and exposed the magnificent funeral car of bronze, with the body, which was aay ralated by the military of all arms. The procession then started, with mofiled drums, and the bands of each regiment playing the dead march. The filing off of the advanced guard of cavalry and infantry occupied an hour. Behind them followed the funeral car, drawn by twelve black dray horses, caparisoned with black velvet trappings, and exactly matched as to size aud action, It was past 10 o'clock before the last of the cortege into move. The procession proceeded up Constitution Hil, along Pioa- dilly, down St. James's street, through Pall Mall, Crafal- ar fquare, Strand, Fleet street, Ludgate bill to St Paul's, the whole line of reute being kept clear by the Life Guards. ‘The procession consisted of the advance guard of Life Guards, secon battalion of Ritle Brigade. first battalion of Royal Marines, thirty-thira regiment of infantry (Duke's own), battalion of Furilier Guards. battalion of Coldstream Guards, battalion of Grenadier Guards, Royal regiment of Artillery, field battery nine guns, five equad- rons of cavalry, namely, Seventeenth Lancers, Thirteenth Light Dragoons, Fighth Hussars, Scots Greys, Eighth Dragoon Guards, battery eight guns Horse Artillery, regiment of Horse Guarda (Blues), and Second regiment of Life Guards.

During the last halt century (and whats half century has it been to us “and to the world!) no event of importance has occurredin the mar- vellous developement and often critical fortunes of our growing country. or in its relations with toreign powers, involving the vicissitudes of peaee and war, in which one or both of these great men have not borne a leading and Gistinguished part. One of them, commencing his career at an early period. and pursuing it with less of interrup- tion than the other, may be said literally to have been vs in every American question, forcign or which bas arisen from his first entrance into the national councils, in 1806, to his final exit from the stage of life 1teelf. a few short months ago The heroic ap peai to arms in 1812, in vindication of the rights of our national flag, to which, mere than to any other cause, ‘we owe our present proud position among the natione— the effective impulse and encouragement given to tho des- tinies of southern half of our western hemisphere, by leading the way in the esi@biisnwent or invefnarronat relations with the gous States which had sprung into existence there. and thus completing the foundation of a talutary counterpoise in the new to the old world, the ifeation of the dangerous and alarming feud which ariron in the bosom of our own confedcracy on the memorable occasion of the Missouri restriction, when every patriotic mind was filled with apprehension for the fate of the Union—there g:eat measures, which have marked an enduring place im the history of the world as well as of our own country, are the peculiar appanage of the fame of Mr. Clay. ‘They were duc, in am os- pecial manner, to the ascendancy he bad acquired in the popular branch of the national councils, of which he was then @ member, by his eloquence, his notirm, his masterly resources of political combi- nation, bis energy. his lofty and generous sentiments, and that ‘spirit of command’ which so eminently distinguished him, In the other prominent questions of Amesican politios, coming down more nearly to our own times his great compeer of the Northjwas assoviated with bim, and, whatever the sion, never failed to bring to the support of bis cause ® colossal power of intellect. a union of logic, eloquence dnd learning. clothed in the noblest diction and set off by the grandest imagery, which place Mr. Webster indisputably in the very first rank of finished and gifted orators, whether of ariclent or modern times, It was spy privilege, and # great one I Neen naae 1 esteem it, to have served in both Houses of Congress with these extraordinary men; and. differing from them. as L rometimes did, on questions of public policy, it now affords me the most sincere satiefaction to bear my humble testi- mony to the wonderful endowments which gave them the Jead they possessed in the public councils of theit country.

[From the Liverpool Times, Nov. 20 | ‘The Andes, the first of the Ounard Coimpany’s line of screw steamers, intended for the trade betweon Liverpool and New York, Boston and Portland, arrived here on Tuesday. Herrun fromthe Clyde answered the most fanguine expectations. She isa very fino vessel. The Alps, the second of the line, is to be here next month The Andes is the first of the new auxiliary fleot of steamers by which the QGunard Company intend vastly to extend the sphere of their operations. ‘They will now have a regular weekly departure from Liverpool to New York, imstead of fortnightly, as at present, when the departure one week is for Boston and the other for New York. Tho laying on of these screws also infers the steam transport of goods between Great Britsin avd America, on terms which have not yet beef within the reach of merchants, excepting by means of sailing vectels. There will also immediately be extab- lished, in connexion with the Cunard line between Liver. pool and New York,a uew and regular route between the latter port and Chagres and thence with the Paciiic. It promises to be the opening of an immense line of steam ecmmunication, the vast advantages resulting from which, will, no doubt gradusliy develope themselves. ‘The Andes bas been built by Messrs. William Denay and Brothers, of Dumbarton, and her cpgines are supplied by Mersrs. Tullock and Denny, of the same place. Her di- mensions are;— Tonnage... + 1,440 tons, Lewgth over + 250 feet. Length of keel 236“ Breadth of beam. oa 300 horses, Dismeter of sore 14 foot. ‘The engines are of the gt jase; the cyliodors are of 66 inches diameter, ength of stroke Stinchsa, The Andes has accommodations for 184 passengers, viz , 62 first and 122 second class. She has stowage for 1.000 tons of goods, and, in the event of the cabins not being filled, their fittings up can easily be removed to extend the stowage space. Her cabins are fitted up generally ia the style of the Cunard steamers. She basa saloon 55 feet in length. beautifully decorated. On each side are 24 marble Corinthian columns, with electro-plated capi- tuls and baces, and numerous beautifully gold gilt figures of Tritons, &e. The cabins are heated by steam. and fully ventilated. It is worth while to mention that Andes has been fitted up with an engine and boiler, which are entirely separate from the propelling engines and the duties of which are of the most multifarious kind. Itis ready to extinguish fire, worm the cabins, draw the bilge water, and fill the condensing or distilling tanks, which are very #pacious, and will slways secure to the ship an abundant :upply of fresh water #0 long ag there is fuel ou board. Infact. this engine is a “ servant of all work,”’ and every cea going steamer should be pro- vided with a similar one. ‘This company has an immense steam fleet in progress of construction, which we may brivily notice.—viz , the Arabia, timber ebip. of 2.402 tons, and 900 horee power, which is almost completed, and will take out the mails to New Yoak on the first of January next; then there Is the Persia, of 3160 tons and 1000 horee power, which will be ready next summer. largest steamer in the world. These are both paddle- steumers, ‘Then there are the Alps, the Tauruy. the Ten erifle, the Baibeo, the Melita, the Etna and the Jara, all iron screws, and varying from 1.000 to 2.000 tons. These are all building on the Clyde and will follow each other im rapid succession, so as to keep up the regular communication between Great Britain, New York, and the Pacific. It is worth while to mention that the Andes has a compass fitted up on the top of the mizenmast, entire- ly isolated from the attraction of the fron ship. ‘It is a new application, by which those variations which occa- sionsily take place in iron ships may be at all times cor- rected.
