Now, both of these foreign philosophies, reacted on that British eoutroversy with which they had original relations.

The communication between English aud French sensations alicm bad all this while being going on through such thinkers as Beotham aad Mill; aud more recently we have had an infusion of Freuch seusationalisw in its most pronounced | materialistic form of so-called Positivism, through transla- | tions from M, Auguste Comte. tal Had avy oue informed old Rogers that he had lived | through all this, he would probably have said that he was really uot aware of it, but was very glad to.hear it, and, hoped it was all over.

His philosophy, so far as be had any, | was the simple practical philosophy which confines itself to | the consideration of the art of pleasant and tranquil living ; ond, wherever he deals with maxims, it is with the time-| honoured maxims which have been rabbed smooth by poets | in the service of this philosophy. Hume or Reid, Kant or | Comte, it was all the same to him; for, whichever philosophy | was uppermost, there seemed little danger that Aés little metaphysies—which consisted very much in believing that | men ought to pay their way, keep their temper and cultivate soft affections—would ever be disturbed or persecuted. | Almost the only one of his poems in which one discerns something of the influence of contemporary metaphysical speculation, in his IVeasures of Memory, which is a mild poetical exposition of the doctrine of the association of ideas as wade popular by Hartley and others. Nor, unfortunately as regards the interest of his Tadle-talk in the department of gossip about contemporary philosophers and philosophic systems, was Rogers one of those who make up for not thinking about thinking by {what is really a very different thing) thinking about thinking about thinking, Goethe, who desired to avoid the first, was his whole life practising the second ; and hence his own metaphysics consisted in being anti-metaphysical. Mereover, for the same reason, his talk wis rich enough ia reference to the history of thought and speculation in his time. But in Rogers's case it was other- wise; and-had it not been that eminent men were interest- ing to bim as such, without any regard to the precise grounds

of their eminence, and that, seeing, in the course of his long |

life, celebrated thinkers as well as cclebrated poets, or | actors or men of fashion, he noticed them with curiosity, | and afterwards told his reminiscences of them, the history of British speculation in his time, important as that history | was, would have had nothing to represent it in his Table- Talk. long and knew 80 many people, he could not but have some interesting enough recollections of the ways and physiog- |

Correspondence.

TO THE TENANTS ON THE EARL OF SELKIRK’S ESTATE.

Gextiewen,—Some time ago I was entrusted by a large)

majority of your body to transmit to the Earl of Selkirk a Petition, in which your wishes were set forth that his Lord-

ship would sell his “estates to the local Government, in order

that you might at once become Freeholders under the provi- sions of the Land Purchase Bill, and no longer be liable to be sold to land speculators, in order that an exorbitant profit may be made at the joint expense of yourselves and his Lordship.

I think it now my daty to lay before you an account of my)

stewardship, by which it will be seen that your wishes are likely to be aceomplished. But first let me say in explanation, that a correspondence has taken place with Her Majesty’s Go- yernment, from which I infer that money, to make this or any other similar purchase, will be obtained under the guarantee of the Imperial Government ; that is, always supposing that this beneficent intention meets no interruption from the House of

Assembly, where an Address was voted Jast session to Her)

Majesty for the obtaining this guarantee, and carried on a

division which may be seen in the parliamentary proceedings.

I now transcribe the correspondence on the subject, and remain, Your obedient servant,

Wa. SWABEY.

October 7, 1856.

From the Earl of Selkirk to the Hon. Wm. Swabey. Lonpon, 25th June, 1856.

Sin,—I have received your letter, accompanying a petition from some of the tenants on the lots owned by me in Prince Edward Island. Ihave no anxiety to keep this property in my own hands; on the contrary, I shall be perfectly willing tu dispose of it either to the local Government or any other arties who may be inclined to offer a reasonable price for the ots.

if the whele property were to be taken at once, and the price paid in full, it would be an additional inducement to me to treat.

| wait on your Lordship’s agent—re presented by Mr. James Douse, son of William Douse, Esq., who is in England—to

‘obtain information as to the amount of wilderness lands and |

occupied farms on your estate, in order that some data might be afforded the Government on which to found an offer for their | purchase, or to consider any proposition which might emanate trom yourself. I showed Mr. Douse your Lordship’s letter, ) whieh, I should have thought, would have justified his giving | some information, however limited. This, however, he declined to do, as by his letter in my possession. The Government is desirous to purchase this property, but till furnished by your Lordship’s order, with the pcronets particulars, nothing can be done. I can only inform you of the facts for your guidance, that the Worrell Estate (82,000 acres) was purchased ty the Government for 4s. sterling per acre ; that of Sir Jobn Walsh (7000 acres) for 38, 6d. sterling. The price to which the Go- vernment is limited is 5s.

them when knowledge was more confined than it is at present. The spread of intelligence in our day enables the mass of the people to detect official peculators in their mal-practices, and to know in what consists the freedom and happiness of mankind, | __the former of which is a nuisance, and the latter not worth having, when monopoly and misrule are to be the price paid for its employment.

But of all things just now serving the turn of the Obstrue- tives, the Land Purchase Bill is the most recent, and the best to play upon. Much pains, much sophistry, and an incal- ‘eculable amount of falsehood have been employed to defeat the object this Bill has in view, which is to lull the raging waters of discontent by destroying their souree—by using means at hand, and not apocryphal, to turn discontented leaseholders into happy freeholders. To prevent this, every artifice is at work, '—all the means that can be scraped together are collected to purchase from the absent and deluded proprietor, to forestal the Government, so as to keep up the price of land, and to retail to the tenantry at two or three times the price at which the Government would be disposed to sell. If any one can doubt the intentions of the unholy Alliance in this matter, let him turn to the division on the address to Her Hajesty, to guarantee a loan, in order that this healing and beneficent measure may uninterruptedly proceed. There they will find arrayed against the only effectual means of settling the land question, Messrs. Cooper, McIntosh and Laird, with the real proprietary faction, Messrs. Palmer, Haviland, Longworth, ke.

These, and such like things, are the stalking horses of those who strive to ride into power on the heads of the ignorant and the credulous, and who, being as wide as the poles from each other in principle—({may we he forgiven for prostituting the term !)—will not cease to aid each other to pick a bone, the remains of which they will, if ever the time should come, snarl and fight over to the last. This spirit of hostility to public liberty and social improvement prompts an opposition to the extension of the number of the people’s representatives. Is it not enough to say in fayour of this measure that these people

stance demonstrate that it is an enlargement of popular interests? When was ever any thing proposed for the public good that this unholy alliance did not combine to oppose? We hear, in connection with these matters, that the better to carry on these inveterate obstructive objects, forsooth a Society is formed, called the ** Political Alliance.’? The manceuvre of those who lead people by the nose in this hopeful squad, is to persuade ignorant men that a Liberal Government is not pro- ceeding on liberal principles; and in order to pick up a few loose fish, who, at one time, styled themselves liberals, but never understood the meaning of the term or its application— who never knew or felt that the object of true liberality is not the disruption of all law and order, and the confiscation of

sistent with public, private and social safety ; and above all, the dragging of public officers from the skulking places in which they formerly plundered the revenue, into a place where they cannot escape the public scratiny ; and although it is not openly avowed, it is for this very reason that the policy and persons of the present Government are more particularly dis- liked by the leaders of the Obstructive faction.

THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE.

Unper this head we have, at various times, had our attention called to all sorts of anomalous combinations, the general ob

This event, at the inauguration of , the Unholy Alliance, is universally believed to typify the ex- _tinguisher which Public Opinion will shortly put upon the combination.

Our readers do not require to be told what materials con- stitute this precious ‘* Alliance.’’ It is readily believed, and truly so, that the first and principal element is the old Tory party—that impracticable and obstructive faction who could never see beyond the length of their noses—who opposed all changes and reforms as long as they could, because they hate changes and reforms of any kind—who have been thoroughly whipped at the hustings and outvoted in the Legislature— -who have had their misdeeds, their pecalations, and their | wholesale robberies, exposed and punished at the bar of pub-

lic opinion ; and with these are leagued discarded temperance lecturers ; a rejected servant of a late House of Assembly, _who contrived to exact payment for work he did not perform ;

NEWS BY THE MAIL FROM ENGLAND.

If we are to credit communications from the capitals of | Russia and Tarkey, the question of the Isle of Serpents, so far from being settled, still wears an angry and threateni appearance. Russia has not yielded her claim to the rock, and has no intention of doing so. The squadron of Admiral Lyons in the Black Sea has received orders to remain until the ‘dispute is settled. In the event of Russian troops again attempting to land on the island, our guns will open y them. This looks yery like a determination to bring the matter to a crisis. French ships will also be speedily sent to the Black Sea; but the representatives of that Power, it is pursue a more reserved policy in the affair, | As regards Naples, the Western Nations are determined to bring Bomba to his senses.

Austria, if a communication from Vienna is to be credited, will leave the wretched fellow to his fate ; but Austria herself has been deteeted im as disre- putable a transaction as could by any possibility be imagined : that is to say, the arrest and imprisonment of a sember of privates and non-commissioned officers, Austriar subjects, on their arrival from Malta, inthe Austrian States. Their of- fence is accepting employment in the Anglo-Italian Legion, to lfight against Russia, without the permission of their own Government. This has caused a great stir throughout [taly, especially among the discharged legionaries of Piedmont. -The English and French representatives at Tuseany ond Parma, where the men are imprisoned awaiting their trials, have protested against the act, and, considering the broker proniises of Austria herself during the whole of the Russian war, in, we have no doubt, very indignant terms.

Tur seconp Nore to Nartes.— A Frankfort journal i gives a synopsis of the second note sent by the Western Pow- ‘ers to the King of Naples. They express their desire to /come to an honorable understanding with him. They admit that under present circumstances the King cannot grant a ' general amnesty, and, therefore, request the King to grant a | pardon to those political prisoners who may apply for it, and 'make their submission in proper form, But this they par- |ticalarly insist on; and they, therefore, give their note the form of an ultimatum, allowing the King a fortnight for consideration, after which they will resolve the measures they think advisable.

The ultimatum addressed to the King of Naples has not yet gone. It is said that Count Walewski thought it necessary to exchange one more communication with the Emperor before despatehing it. A Cabinet courier is expected from England, bearing the w/timatum of the English Government, which, with that of France, will at once go on to Naples. Count Walewski, seeing the great effect produced out of doors by the announcement of the decided measures resolved upon by the, two Governments, deemed it advisable to represent it to the Emperor before taking the final step. In this manner, at least, has the delay been explained.

Nartes.—The Paris correspondent of the Times says it is not doubted that the ultimatum will be despatched to Naples by the end of the week. Other advices, however, speak of the probability of the Neapolitan affairs being again re- ferred to diplomacy, and that consequently the squadron intended to be despatched to Naples will not sail at all for the present.

_At the last dates from Naples rumours had begun to circulate of the Anglo-French naval demonstrations, and some symptoms of popular agitation were observable. The police maintained a strict surveillance on the English re- sidents. An Austrian squadron of 7 ships of war is cruising in the vicinity of Sicily.

In these affairs the enemy, as usual, are said to have suffered serious loss. The French had three men killed and 24 wounded—-amorg them two officers of Chasseurs, and one of the Tirailleurs. The Marshal adds to the report, that the struggle with the Gnechtolas approaches its end, that the hill positions are in possession of the French, and that soon the reinforcements of Algiers will appear upon the plain country of the Boghni.

Tue Empress or Rossta DANCING WITH HER RECENT ENt- mirs.—The most agreeable news from Moscow is the state ment that, at the Coronation ball, the Empress of Russia showed her remarkable good sense by dancing with the allied Powers that opposed her country, that is to say, with M. de ,Morny, Lord Granville, and the Turkish representative. The Emperor himself is reported to have received the French- ‘man very cordially, the Englishman with reserve, and the Turk with impatience. Be that as it may, the dancing is & fact, and who can doubt that the diplomatists of France,

with an Empress than in sitting in council at Vienna ?
