I bete, thertfdre, become some what less enslotts for sudden remedies for visi bly admitted evils, and more inclined to trust to the natural 69110 and progress of events to work aut their cure. Bat this tendeeey of mind does not in the least mitigate the indignation I have ever expressed for outrages, whether open or insidious, against freedom and popular rights; nor does it transfer any portion of that confi dence which I have lost In thelovethed to those raters who are unfaithful to the trusts reposed in them. I have learned to be more cautious In teeming opinions, and perhaps more mild and considerate in expressing them. Loving peace for its own take, I find myself leaning toward opposition to all forms of agitation which do not promise speedy beneficial results. But , think the pulsations of my heart are as firm, quick, and true, for freedom, as they ever have been. I think I shall ho as willing as ever before to enlist to all rational movements for reforms, and as vigilant to guard against the introduction of abuses.

The same agents em ployed by the same unknown principal (as ii supposed) are buying up wheat and dour In large quantities, on the continent, and bringing it to tbo English market, where it is sold at a dead loss. The amount already sacrificed by these trams. actions, which are all conducted by ceeb pay ments, le estimated at no lee a sum than £lOO,- 000. The system commenced, as far as can be ascertained, about February last, and continued till after the harvest. when it ceased for a °Mut . _ time. Latterly it has recommenced; and is at this time in foil action. The . whole thing Is in explicable, irr itself, though of course there are many Interpretations given, of Its insetsfag. The London John Bull, for example, says: Upon a earefal consideration of all the cireum- Maxwell there appears to ho no reason to doubt ' that the object of the unknown spendthrift is a political one; and the foot that France is the only country where none of the .purchases are made, fixes suspicion upon Louis Napoleon, who has an evident Interest in keeping the price of bread as low as possible in the French markets, and who finds that the facility of glutting the English markets with foreign grain, enables him to attain that object indirectly;with greater se crecy, and a lesser cost, than by a direct inter ference with the corn trade in Francs itself. Curious as those facts are in themselves, they afford matter for further and most grave rejec tion. The same power Which now, for a purpose of its own, creates among us no artificial cheap ness and plenty, may by and by find it cantle doe to its interest to cause artificial dearth and scarcity. Under the present system, which ex poses oar markets, more than thoae of any other country in the world, to the machinations of foreigners, effects of a most serious character might be produced, before wejeould hardly be aware of whet was going on. We heist that the vigilance of the Oovernment will be directed to this subject, and that means will be devised to occurs the country from a surprise, scarcely less distressing than war itself, by mean of ostensibly commercial operations.
