Ín a late speech in the üntj&h Pan mío nt, Lord Brough3tn took occasion to be&tow a severe cnstigation upon Gen. Cas?, for bis nl tempt to break the peace betwecn Englnm nndthe United Stnlrs even aftor the treatv o Washington wae conciudei!. Lord Brotiglian attributed bis conduct on that matter to a de6Íre to furtlier iiis electionering1 inlerest ii America, by appealing to t he war spirit of the mob,through the e.xcitement of which he hop ed to become President. Lord B. said "tiin for that purpose he was not ubove piindering1 tothe worst mob feeling of the lc.we.-t rabble of the United Statee. líe (Lord Brougham, need scarcely say, that all the respctable persons in America was nversed to a war with EiiLland;btit he had taken npon him-elf to issert tlint, wherever in that country they found a lawless set of rabble politiciaiií, uf inferior cnste ond station - a grovellinp, ronnrling. set of politicians - a eet of nieie lubble, as contra-dislingiiishec from persons of propcrfy, of respectability, and of imforniation - n that quarter, among1 these mere gronndlinijs in station, (imoi)g ihe rnbble mob,they were certain to find the stronfrest and most invetérate prejudices against ihc unión bet ween Anier'c.i and Englund, and the greatest disposition to see war instead of peace between the t.vo conntries. I hope a::d trust fm the sake of Amerira first; for the sake of Enland nwrt - for ihe sake of humaniiy, of mankind at larpe - tliat the prospenty and hnppiness oí' that people wiil be perpetuated for ever. My lords, I cannot view with ir.differenre tlie magniricent empire which Englishnten have erected in that land, and my hart glows when I refleot that to England is owinír that which America never scruples to confesa she owes ío Knglenc] - those Inws, ; those in&titu- tions - above all the spirit of liberty.of religious, a? wtíll as well as of civil liberty, which lias made the American reptiblic the greatest democratie nation that ever held existence upon the face of the earth.'Q The new Britlsh Tariff upon Ameriican provision8 seems admirably adapted to draw the greater part of the producís of the Northwest through the Cañadas, thus afford ing permanent employ to thousands of laborers, millers, coopere, sailors, and mechanics of every kind. If wo righlly understand the matter, the rcsult wi'l be favorable to the furmers of the Northwest, bat injnrious to the miliers and tnechanics. It goes int o operation on the first of Joly. The Express mentions :td leading provisions thus: '♦On whcot the duty is seven nnd n half cents per bushei . and on floar eighty cents per barrel. No distinclion ia made between flour goingto England, whelhermnnufaeturcd from wheat grown in Canada or in the United States; it is 6till to be admitted as Canndinn produce, at a duty of eome ten cents jer barrel. The duty in England, on American flour, is (iqual to a prohibition, and the onlv way it enn be avoided is by mannfacttiring the whent in Canadn. The case is similar with provisions. Ifpacked in Ca?inda, whether mised there or in this country, they are admitted at the same duty, and this is merely nominal; whereas, if packed in this country, they cannot be sent, as heretofore, through Canada." (t0 The last arrival from Europe brings no important intelligence. Mr. Everett is said to have declined the mission to China on account of ihe separation from his family. 07 Rev. E. Smith, of the M. E. Church, Pittsburgh, has been lecturing on abolition in Cïïacinnati to crowded houses. ID The Cherokee Indians are advancing in ñvilization. Eighteen copies of the Albany Cultivator are taken among them.
