FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1858
A LESSON FROM il PUNCH."
In' the last number of Peach the principal
engraving represents the Duke of Cambridge,
as Commander-in=Chief of the British army,
addressing Sir TIEN/1X Ilhvmoex, (drawn so
as to represOnt the traditional British Lion,)
and, in the words of a speech lately delivered
by His Royal Highness in the House of Lords,
damning him with faint praise, alleging that
the groat distance of India from England
threw a sort of obscurity over the recent
transactions there; that he (11AvsLocK) bad
done very well, considering; that the reward
of £l,OOO a year to a man of sixty-three, who
had - been forty-three years in active Indian
service, (twenty-three as a more subaltern,)
who had fought and won ulna pitched battles
in three weeks; who had rescued the British
at Lucknolf'fron a massacre like that of Cawn
pore; who had routed that monster of cruelty
and Iniquity,NENA SAILItt ; in a word, who had
literally saved India, was by no means an ex
cessive reward.
The Royal Duke, with a longlsword by his
side, ashako on his head, and a cigar between
his digits, is drawn by the artist almost as
stupid-looking as he generally appears—evi
-1 dently humming and hawing for a word which
1,111 not come, and altogether at sea In the
matter of oratory. His Royal Highness, al
beit first cousin to Queen 'VICTORIA, is well
known to be a remarkably safe man—that
means, a man who will never set the river
Thames on fire by any excessive brilliancy
Ho may be Demosthenean in his oratory, but
it is DEMORTHRRE9 with the pebbles in Ilk
mouth. However, ho is not badly placed,
after all, as the administrative head of the
British army, for ho is good-natured, though
obtuse, without any very palpable vices, occa
atonally charitable, and generally good-natured.
Ile lilts that office much better than Prince
ALBERT would have done, and has seen actual
service in the Crimean War, whereas Prince
ALBERT is a mere feather-bed Field-marshal,
who never" smelt powder,", save at a review
and a bathe, and has displayed no taste for
military Ble, save by inventing a head-cover
ing for the soldiers, called the Albert hat, and
consisting, with great simplicity, of an inverted
flower-pot, with a gnat/ leathern peak before
and behind.
In the back ground of this caricature, Punch
and Lord' PALMERSTOX are represented as
looking on.Psrafeinves, with his hands in his
pockets, and that eternal smirk upon his face;
Punch keenly eyeing the pococurante Premier,
and asking, «Come PAM. Suppose ho had
been a Lord ?" The reply of PALHERSTON,
brief and characteristic, is, gc That would have
made a great difference, of course."
Not the least doubt of it. That would have
made all the difference. Think of ARTHUR
WELLESLEY, ending his military career as
Duke of 'Wellington, with about £IOO,OOD a
year from the British tax-payers, to ff support
the dignity of the peerage," and gaining all
these honors and all this renown before he
was forty-six years old. Then, think of
llsvELous, a captain of three years' standing,
who, because lie had neither noble relatives
to push him on, nor hard cash to buy him on,
had been twenty-three years a subaltern in
India, employed in every campaign there,
distinguished in every thing ho attempted, a
man of letters as well as a man of battle, and
only a simple lieutenant at .the age of forty.
three.
The thing is monstrous, could have occurred
no where except in England, where the Oli-
V i te l lY l l l tA,at,l44 l 2, 63l q,4lAr- °81. 81 !4
ir6Wix to sArealfirdegradation, which, as de.
solved, no ono will lament or pity.
IrELLINOTON won his first laurels and gained
his first reputation In India. When ho landed
iu that country, in 1799, be was lieutenant
colonel of the thirty-third regiment, and was
then exactly thirty years old. Ho bad been
pushed up into rank by family influence, as an
Earl's son.
After thirty years' active service, mostly in
India, (where every two years aro allowed to
count for three, so bad is the climate and so
hard the duty,) lIAVELOOK was only a brevet-
Major—that is, a Cqtptain with the 'title of
Major. WELLEILEY, though his first attack on
its fortress failed, and General BAIRD had ac
tually conducted and headed the successful as
sault, was made Governor of Seringapatam—
simply because his brother was Viceroy of 'ln
dia. Family influence did it all, and had WEL
MILEY commenced his career, without that
influence, his course would probably have
been such as IlAsELocit's was. Unless by
something next to a miracle, a man rarely
rises to distinction in tho British army, unless
he has noblo relations or abundwo of money.
Connexion or cash is the " Open Sesame" in
that service.
At the age of 62, after he had saved India,
the British Government gaveHavereerr the*
rank of Major-General, the red riband of the or
der of Bath, (which Lords CARDIGAN and Lc-
CAN had received, for leading the British troops
to defeat, in the Crimea,) and a good service
pension of $5OO a year—being exactly $1.61 a
day. So much for the man who saved India.
kr. VERNON Sum, son-in-law of an Earl,
who nearly Lost India, by his stupidity and
obstinate blundering as President of the Board
of Control, is continued in office, and is paid
$25,000 a year. It would seem, therefore.
that desert' is cheaply paid, while non-desert
is liberally rewarded.
What has since been done for Ilavutotur—
giving him a baronetcy, a pension of .0,000 a
year, and the Colonelcy of a regiment, worth
about as much more--is the act, not of the
British Gevernmenl, but of the British People.
Public indignation literally compelled Lord
Paramnsrox, however ungraciously and tar
dily, to confer these acknowledgments and re
wards upon Sir limier HAVELOCK.
Oddly enough, by way of contrast, while
Queen VICTORIA, under the advice of Lord
PALMERSTON, has not elevated General IIs.vE
LOOK to The peerage, she has just made a
spick-and-span new Lord. Every one was
pleased when THOMAS DADINGTON ll.f.tcAur.Av
—poet, orator, and historian—was elevated to
the peerage. It was a compliment to his
public services, his private character, and to
the profession of letters, which he has so much
graced.
The new peer, who will be called Lord LATT
ER, is a Mr. CHARLES COMPTON CAVEND/SII,
younger brother of the rich Earl of BURLINGTON,
'and cousin of the yet richer Duke of DEVON
sum. Ho has the advantage of being a couple
years senior to General HA moot, and is now
in his sixty-fifth year. Therefore, though a
young peer, he is an old man. He has boon a
member of -Parliament for over. thirty-seven
years, during all this long time playing tho
part of Orator Mum with great success, and
invariably voting with the (so-called) Liberal
party, of which, by a strange combination of
',fortuitous circumstances, Lord PALumurroN,
old Tory though he be, is now the ruling chief.
What this C. C. Cs.vssonnt has done
to deserve a coronet, no one can conjec
ture. lie has no talent of any kind, and the
chief proof of good' sense which he has ever
shown, is that of holding his tongue. But he
is a CAVENDISH. His cousin is a Duke, his
brother an Earl, his father-in-law a Marquis.
That « tnakesall the difference," as Punch
makes PAISIERSTON say.
Contrast this man with iinvimocw, and
what must be the result ? A conviction that,
in England, the Democratic principle, that
worth makes the man, has either made
no progress or very slightly. The lino or
buried CAVENDISIIES is exalted in preference oC
the heroic HAVELOCK. The "red hand of
Ulster," on a baronet's shield, is thought um
immense honor for the man who, by victory
after victory, has written his name inetfacaisly
on his country's annals. But the pearbentir
cled coronet of a peer is put upon the hend of

Constant ion, as well as our personal feelings,
as a nation, are entirely in opposition to such
gauds, and tinsel, and empty "honors," as or
orders of Knighthood, and peers' coronets.
From the very formation of our Magna Charts—
the Constitution of the llnited States—our citi
zens rejected them. We recognise, public
desert and private worth as the only Order of
Merit, and when ono of our citizens does his
duty well to his country, in any way, public
opinion is not a laggard in acknowledging the
same. 'The - whole' -histdry of our Common
wealth proves this, end thereby Is shown Our
real superiority over England, with all her
proud feudalities.
NOTICES OF NEW BOOMS
PETERSON & BROTHERS have collected about
a dozen of the late Mrs. Lux etireft »ore ideet,
and published them, in a neat 12m0., to
range with their uniform edition of her en
tire works. It contains “The Lost Daughter,"
(whieli gives the name to the book,) and other
stories of the heart. Several of thew are
among the very finest ever written by Mrs.
lime, and the whole volume will extend' her
reputation.
C. S. FRANCiR & CO., of Now York, have
sent us (through PARRY & MoMuzeu) a new
hook for young people called Salt 7Valer 1 or
the Sea-life and adventures of Neil D'.9rcy, the
Midshipman, by Mr. WILLIAM 11. G. KsINGSTON,
author of several excellent works of a similar
character. There is life, there is reality In
the various incithints here related, and there
aro numerous illustrations engraved on wood,
much above par in drawing and execution.
The-book is by an English author, which cer
tainly ought to have been stated by the Ameri
can re-publisher.
WHITTEMORE, Num, At Co., of Boston,
have brought out a handsome volume, by En-
RAM) G. PARKER, entitled the Golden Age of
American Oratory. The design of the book
is very good—much better than the execution.
A great part of it is now first published. The
descriptions of Itznav CLAY and Evros
CHOATE first appeared as Magazine articles ;
the view of FISHER AMES was originally pre
sented in a lecture; and the criticism on En-
WARD EVERETT was a Fourth of July Oration.
Opening with a very brief essay upon what
Mr. PAnizza calls the golden age of Ameri
can Oratory, he goes on to describe CLAY,
WERSTEII, and AXES as the orators of Con.
gross; PINKNEY and Cnotva as orators of the
Bar ; and E VERETT, CIIAPIN, H. W. Eszcitzst,
and IVENnztz PIIILLIPS, as orators of the
Platform. It will be seen how largely the
Bostonian people are bore represented, This
is the constant Bostonian principle—to exalt
each other. ' Many passages of Mr. PARKER'S
book aro well written. He has quite a copia
verborum—a great power of verbal expression.
But he indulges in the hyperbole of praise,
and his difficulty, throughout, must have been
to have found a sufficient quantity of lauda
tory epithets. The book will amuse many,
astonish a few, and probably instruct none. I
Praise, when laid out with a 'trowel, does
not convey information.
RUDD & CanEfOlt, New York, have pub
fished another of the numerous imitations of
" Nothing -to Wear." It bears the catching
title of Husband is. Wife, and has been clev
erly illustrated by llonm.v, the artist. It Is a
sort of rhymed version of the famous Caudle
home-chapters, and is one of the best of its
class. The Prologue, a parody on one of
Lzion Mukr's beat known poems, is good
enough for quotation :
Abel McAdam—may his tribe Inereaae!—
Awoke,one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the gaslight of his room,
A female spirit (dressed up a la Bloom- '
Er) writing something in a book of gold.
Encoding drink had made AleAtlam bola,
And to the presence in the room he said,
" What entreat, dear ?" The spirit ratted its head,
Andvst-th de vale* litua3lose-st '• .
Murmured 77te names of mea whom xeo;no
love."
"And is mine one 7 " asked Abel. " No, air-en,"
Replied the spirit. Abel roared with glee,
Thou coolly said: "Sweet sprite, write mo as one
'Who ne'er finds fault with what a woman's done."
The Bloomer wrote and vanished; but the next
night
It mane again with great wakening light,
And showed the names by love of woman blessed,
When lo McAdam's name led all the rese
MAGAZINES
The American reprint of Household Words
(T. B. PETERSON & Bnorttrms) will he issued
in future, as we perceive by a notice in the
January number, about the eighteenth day of
each month, from advanced sheets rewired
by special arrangement with the London pub
lishers. This periodical ought to have a
large circulation in this country, as it Is well
adapted for family rending.
Blarktroat's Magazine for December (W.
B. ZIEDER, Philadelphia) has been issued by
the New York publishers. from advance sheets,
as usual, and In a Tae -simile of the Edinburgh
edition, at a third of the Edinburgh price.
There is a continuation of Beraysit's novel,
and other striking papers are those upon India,
Alicium. ANGELO, Phrenology in Franco, and
Part IV of the travels in Patugal, called
" Afoot." One article, a hash-up of various
accounts of the Royal Oak escape of Charles
11, the mat-ideal of a royal scamp, rends
heavily. Boseobel has had its day.
A publication called the Eclectic Maga
zine, (W. B. ZrEnEri, Philadelphia.) which
has Just commenced Its 48d volume, is gene
rally so well conducted that we grieve at
seeing it so seldom. An odd number has
strayed Into our hand, and enables us to state
that it is attractive, from portraits as well as
from containing the cream of the loading
British periodicals, being particularly strong
in the biographical department. Its editor,
however, has made a singular blunder in the
January number. Noticing SAnnue's fine
miniature reproduction of FAED's picture of
Sir WALTER SCOTT and his literary Mends at
Abbotsford, he gives memoirs of the persons !
therein represented. Ono of those is Sir
ADAM FEROUSON, the school-fellow and life
long neighbor and friend of SCOTT, through
whose interest ho was made Keeper of the
Scottish Regalia, and knighted. This Fauf-1
outfox, who died within the last two years, is
wholly ignored by the Editor of the Eclectic,
and In his place is given an account of Roomy
Ftsousofe, a Scottish poet, who died In 1774,
when Sir 'WALTER Scorr was only three years
old, and who, therefore, was over half a cen
tury In bi grave at the presumed time of
FAED's pagating !
The .91.perican illuminated Family Maga
zine (published by CHARLES C. Setscum, of
this city), is a new venture. It has fashions,
wood-cuts, Inutile, and an agreeable melange
of prose and verse. Its moral tone is healtiip
showing A desire to instruct, as well as to
amuse, And its low price (fifteen cents a mintr
ber) wi pass it into a large circulation.
The riankei's Magazine (J. Sum lloltAss,
N. Y.) opens with an admirable paper on The
.Nationcil Finances, on which the following sub
jects a4o discussed—Revenue, Treasury Notes,
the Pliblie Debt, the Tariff, Balance of For•
eign Arade, Coins and Coinage, and Bankrupt
Law. A more important article than this has
not been publislutd fora long time. There are
many other paper of interest and value here.
This periodical AtrAntis at the head of its class.

I wish to call thq attention of those who rely
upon the City Dikeetory for the correctness
of the direction of their local correspon
dence, to the exceeding inaccuracy of this
year's edition. Of atoms°, some mistakes could
not be avoided, and even more than usual were
looked for this year, owing to the change in

this can be no excuse. In houses whose
numbers wore changed months ago, I find the

The actual indebtedness of the Commonwealth
is put down at $30,881,738 22, being a reduction of
$820,097.55 during the past year. It is estimated
that not more than $:10,000 will be required to pay
all other outstanding claims, excepting tiro sala
ries of officers, due in March next, and the inisrest
on the public debt, falling due on the Ist prexii.ao ;
that the means now in the Treasury, and to be r... , ••
evived during the present month from known
sources, will be ample for these purposes—hence,
no recourse to a temporary loon will be required.
On the let of the present month the balance in
the Treasury is stated at .£.019,200 04 The balance
in the Bank of Pennsylvania on the 25th of Sep.
tember, (the day that institution suspended.) doe
to loon-holden, for unclaimed interest, amounted
to $48,171.30, which has been reduced by payments
by the present officers of the bank in specie, to '
$30,477.71. By on art of Assembly this bank is
the Neal agent of the State for the transfer of her
loans, and the disbursement of the interest there
on, and it appears that after the money is paid ,
there for that purpose the control of the Treasu
rer ceases. The whole ancient of the deposit in
tho bank at the time of suspension, and which was
subject to the order of the State Treasurer, has
been paid.
A change in the law ereatinr the Sinking Fund
is recommended. It appears the revenue applied
to it does not leave enough in the Treasury for
ordinary purposes. There is another recommen
dation about preference to be given in the payment
of the debts created under the Sinking Fund Low ;
the balance of oper cont. loan and Bank Charter
loans, the last of which were made payable on a
certain day and not after a certain day as is
usually the ease, and therefore are now over duo.
Also, for a change in the law to facilitate the col
lections of taxes and license money.
A statement is made concerning the operations
of the present license law. It is alleged that in
the cittce of the Commonwealth there are three
unlicensed houses to one licensed, and that, in
oonacqueueo of the manner in which the law is ad
ministered, great injustice is done to the revenues
of the Commonwealth and to the person who pays
a tax for the privilege of selling rod eye, schnapps,
and the other beverages tea numerous to mention.
A free license law is recommended as a revenue
pleasure, at least for the cities, to be well guarded
by penalties.
The notion of the State Treasurer, with reference
to ids duties under the law for the sale of the
Main Line of the public works to the Pennsylvanta.
Railroad Company, is explained at length • also,
the action of the accountant department 'in the
payment of the fees of counsel, employed by the
Canal Board, to institute proceedings in the Su
preme Court to test the validity of the law under
which the sole was made, is commented upon and
justified. The sum paid the lawyers was $3,000.
Reference is made to the frequent applications

" We are informed that a married lady or Dover met.
A gontiorcan from the came place, on the porch of a ho
tel in Smyrna, a abort time sinie, and eowhided him
Imitireiy. Our inTormant did not learn what the pro
vocation was that Inittioad her to chastise the gentle
man."
The paragraph with which I commence this let
ter having gone the rounds of the papers, and cre
ated not a little converaation, speculation, and ex
citement, I deem it proper to give you more
partioulasly the circumstances which gave rise to
it, especially as it ie a good thing in itself, and
a matter out of which good will be lliely to
come.
At Dover there lives a gentleman of very con
siderable fortune, a man of unblemished Integrity,
a ripe scholar, and, barring his eccentricities, a
very pleasant and useful °Dixon. Ho in bleat with
an excellent wife and several interesting children
Throughout this gentleman's life, it has been his
misfortune, greatly to the regret of hie numerous
' friends, to got on what is celled "a frolic.," bat
which:in hie ease, (as he never does anything by
I
halves,) may more properly, though perhaps lose
elegantly, be styled "a regular 6tiat."
Of late years his delinquencies in this respect
have been lees frequent, and his friends have had
mangulne hopes that ho bad resolved to break the
devil's head with a bottle, and never make use of
one again. ft secusi, however, that a fiend in
the cloak of a friend, persuaded him to do other•
wise, and that on various occasions lately, the
tempter succeeded in introducing an enemy into
the gentleman's head to steal sway hie brains.
At length the gentleman's Wife, mortified and
distressed, called upon Pier huaband's friend (?,)
and as nearly as I have been able to obtain it, the
following dialogue took place :
Lady. I believe, air, you profess to be a friend
of my husband, myself, and ray children .!
Friend. I have that honor, madam.
Lady. how then, air, does it happen that you
take pains to ruin him, mortify me, disgrace my
children, and make us all very unhappy
Friend. hly good madam, can you for a mo
ment suppose that I could be guilty of such en
enormity
Lady. I inppose nothing. I Lion., sir, that
you are guilty as I charge you. Under your In
fluence, persuasion, and example, you have of late
frequently decoyed my husband from his home,
and in your company 120 has frequently become
drunk, and in that condition, regardless of what
he owes to God, the community, and hie family,
has done many things deoply painful to his friends,
and a source of humiliation to him when sober.

. . . . .
Friend. Really rua'm you magnify trifles; a
harmless frolic now and then scarcely deserves
such severe reproof.
Lady: Sir, you may consider drunkenness and
its attendant depravities as trifles ; I think very
differently—an evil which changes a gentleman of
refinement and education Into a besotted, senseless
irresponsible being, is not a trifle. My husband,
outside of your influence and association, is true to
himself and the community admired for his learn
ing, honored for his integrity, and beloved by nu
merous friends for the kind and generous manner
in which he dispenses the pleasant amenities of
social life I tell you, air, your conduct has seri
ously impaired the happiness of myself and chil
dren. The object of this visit is to request you to
refrain from turther intercourse with Sir.--;
you can do him no good; on the contrary, you do us
all a great deal of harm.
Friend. I regret, madam, that you have so
poor an opinion of me. I doubt very much the
propriety of even a lady making ouch a request as
you make.
$1,690,587 81
Lady, On dint question, sir, I have no doubts.
My mind is made up • to me the path of duty is
perfectly plain, and I intend to pursue it. I
called upon you with the hope that I might find
in your nature some redeeming trait, and that,
through its influence, you would be induced to aid
in saving my excellent husband from the ill-effects
of his only weakness. I perceive my error, and
discover you to be even worse than I bad &allot
paled. I now inform you, sir, that if, hereafter,
I find you in my husband's company, inducing
him to drink, I will take the matter in my own
hands, and remedy the evil.
Friend. What would you do, madam?
Lady. Publicly horsewhip you, sir.
Feline!, (forcing a very queer kind of laugh )
You would scarcely so far forget what is due to the
dignity and delieaoy of your sex. In addition to
which, public opinion—
Lady. Publie oinion ! respect public opinion,
air, only so far asst acts correctly. lily first duty
is to my husband—to protect his health and vindi
cate hie honor. If, in doing this, it becomes ne
°unary to publicly horsewhip a pretended friend,
but a real enemy, I shall not stop to oenzult either
the dignity or the delicacy of my sex. That
portico of the public whom opinion is worth
having will judge the net by the enoteve. I
have not the least objection that it shall
be told to my children when I am in the grave,
their father was saved by their mother pithllely
horse-whipping a heartless associate who would
have led him to destruction. I repeat, sir, that if
I find you in the situation I have described, I will

her eyes fl *thing with indignation, and every
energy collected for an unusual achievement. Her
carriage hes just drawn up in front of a hotel, and
in less time than it takes to toll it in the steps to the
bar-roam. There, seated glass in band, was her
husband. and alongside of hint his "friend•"

you could say Jack fiebinson, with the "friend"
twisting and writhing in her grasp, she is seen
upon the hotel porch raining stripes no thick as

enraged woman east her victim from her, ex

FROM GREENE COMM
[Correapontl4Pee of The Press
WArNto.iscno, Jan. 1, 1556
Having been, with you, an attached friend of
hiv. Buchanan in all his aspirations, and an unde
viating voter in the Democratic ranks for thirty
'mare, and feeling anxious that the Democratic
party shall continue that escondaney which
strict adherence to right principles justifies us in
expecting, I confess I feelyetne alarm at the pre
sent toped of affairs, as indicating a conflict of
opinion on it question sthich lies, as I conceive,
right at the foundation of Demoirtery I refer to
the Kan: as trestle», anti the right of the people
of that Terittory to be consulted in laying down
the foundations of the Government under which
they aro to live.
There is an evident attempt naiong certain
politicians—some of them very lam ,converts to
the cause of Mr. Buchanan while his nomination
was pending—to place certain other at his friend;
in a position of hostility to his Administration,
simply because they hold diiferent opinions upon
this question.
In view of the fact that up to the middle of fast
month no mortal man had the alight %et intimation
but that in supporting the opinion that the Con
stitution of Kansas should not bo forced oleo that
people against their consent, that he was Vtit car
rying into effect the desire of the Administr
expressed in the instructions to Governor Wal.ke , t
the inaugural of tho President, his admirable lc
ter to the Connecticut clergymen, the inaugural
and subsequent addresses of Governor Walker in
Kansas, the editorials of the IVashington
Richmond Empire,. and Krantz/lea, the Louis
ville D. mortar, and a host of other leading
and reliable Demoerntfo organs in the South.
And the entire array of those of the North.
I say, in view of these demonstrations, it
is, to say the least, very unkind to be set
down (not by the President, but by some of his
over-xealous friends) es of doubtful fealty to the
Adminlstiation. We committed ourselves to posi
tions i n whieh we believed the Presidentstood, and
travelled t split on in that direction, whilst the
President (at the same time expressing Lis dis
appointment at the course of the Lecompton Con
vontion) believed, for reasons doubtless satisfac
tory to himself, and ably expressed in his message,
that it would be better to admit Kansas with the
partial submission provided for in the Constitu
tion, than to keep the question open, and by this
means to transfer the question to Kansas nod out
of the halls of Congress. The President has an
undoubted right to entertain this opinion; and,
while n e tolerate this difference of opinion, we
only ask of others to allow ail equal toleration of
our opinions—entertained, We claim, as honestly
as others entertaining different opinions.
I talcoplonsure in Wall log you that your co iron
on this question meets the coldial and hearty ap
probation of almost the entire party here. There
may be a clime exception among (lie politicians
by profession, or by those who have given little
attention to the subject; but thopppc—the men
who form their own opinions at their own firesides,
in their shops and on their fauns, and who de the
voting that maintains the ascendancy of the Demo
cratic party—are everywhere withyou. They can't
& persuaded to yield the principle which giros
to any anti to all Inept() the right tog. Vern, thetn•
saves so a community or State.
The very notoriety of the facts which exist is
relation to this unhappy Kansas controversy, ex
cludes the hope of shuffling it out of the way by
any other mode than open, straight-forward, manly
dealing. The question of whether K WOOS shall
boa free or slave State is a subordinate question
to the ono which requires for the people the right
to choose their own institutions.
If public opinion, elsewhere in Penneylvanis,.is
as unanimous as It Is here, in favor of the submis
sion question, I should say that our puldie men
bad better look well to the votes they may give in
Qesqlress on title question.
FOREIGN MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
Tn CROWN JuiTELS.—We find the following
in a letter from Hanover, of December 19 : The
hearts of the King and Royal Family of this
country have been much rejoiced by Intelligence
which has just reached them through the Hanove
rian Minister at the Court of St. James, that the
long dispute between the Ring of Hanover and the
Queen of England re eating the right to certain
jewels of enormous value. in the possession of the
Sower Af England, and forming. no Inconsidera
ble rwtion Of what have been hitherto ce ll e d th e
British Crown ;jewels, has been decided in favor of
Hanover. Hairy of your readers are no doubt
aware that when the kingdom of Hanover was
severed from the united kingdom by the aeceeeion
of Queen Victoria to the throne, a claim was made
by the late king of Hanover, formerly the Doke
of Cumberland, to nearly the whole of the jewels
usually worn on State occasions by the Eng
lish Sovereign, on the ground that part of them,
which had been taken over to England by George
I, belonged inalienably to the Crown of Hanover,
and that the remainder had been purchased by
George 111. out of his privy purse, and bad bean
left by him and his Queen Charlotte to the Royal
Faintly of Hanover. As the jewels thus claimed
are supposed to be worth considerably more than
1.1,000,090, a single atone having oast nearly £20,-
000, they were not to be relinquished without a
struggle; and I am assured that every possible ex
pedient was resorted to In England to bailie the
claimant. Ultimately, in the lifetime of the late
King, the importunity of the Htneveriso Minis
ter in London drove the English Ministry of the
day to consent that the rights of the two sever
eigne should be submitted to a commission ME.
posed of three English judges ; but the proceedings
of the commission wore so ingeniously protracted
that all the commissioners died without arriving at
any decision ; and until Lord Clarendon received
the seals of the British Foreign Office, all the efforts
of the Court of Hanover to obtain a fresh commis
sion were vain. Lord Clarendon, however, seems
to have perceived that such attempts to stifle In
quiry were unworthy of his country, for be eon
rented that a fresh 0011111311111iUD should be Issued to
three English judges of the highest eminence,
who, after investigation, found the Hanoverian
claim to be indisputably Putt, and reported in its
favor. The court here consequently is in high
glee this Christmas at the prospect of removing
the crown and regalia, so jealous:ly guarded in the
Tower of London, almost bodily to Hanover."
SEOILETA OF Tin WINE TRADE—MOFIVA
AND ANOTurn rt. DALY.—This was CO action
brought in the Court of Common Pleas. London, to
recover £l9 las. for a quart.er.sask of ' 4 superior
port," and It 198. for some stout. The only dis
pute was as to the quality of wine supplied. The
plaintiffs are wine and beer mcrehanta in Walbrook,
and the defendant is a publican at Woolwich. The
evidence given by the plaintiff' themselves was,
that the article was "superior port," and well
worth the price charged. A number of witnesses
were called for the defendant, and the aubstance
of their testimony was. that the quarter-eaak was
worth from £8 to.f 10 ; that it was not port wine
but a blended article composed probably of PontaC,
(a Cape wine,) some low Spanish wine ,
, end s little
pert wine. Mr. Moss gave Elmore detailed and
definite account. Ifs said he was a wine merchant,
a publican and a traveller. The article in quer
tion was not a "superior" wine. lie had been in
the habit of ceiling a class of wine like this for
years to small publicans. Ile thought the com
pound was a gallon of port wine, a gallon of Pon
tan, anti a gallon of British wine. The British
wine they bought as " British port." but he did
not know how it was made at all; that would PM
CO most of them to tell. What he sold he sold as
"port wine." Tbo jury found • verdict for the
plaintiffs for £ll 19c, being £lO for the wine.

CRlNOLLSE.—Notwithstanding the recently
expressed opinion, or rattier wish, of the Bowes;
of France, the ladies' dresses are ballooning out to
such an enormous site, that they threaten to af
fect the health, if not the lives, of the wearers. At
an ',vexing party, last week, at Madame Perpig
