JViimwi —The paucity of invention displayed
ill the mimes of our inland towns and villages,
has been frequently remarked. These names
are most gene, ally Imported from Em ope with
the inliuhilaols, who thus endeavor to recon
cile themselves to a new and strange country by
a constant recurrence to the name of the place
of tlicir birth or infancy. In others they are
emplialtcully/nury titles i and we find almost
every name, "to classic memory dear, 1 * living in
one or other of theatates, in the shape nt some
petty village or town, coniliting of a court,
house, porter house, chinch and j ill. Even in
the capital of our greet "imfirt" tliia affectation
prevails,
'And what waa Gooic-Creek once.la Tiber now.’
Thus a man of no great husiacts may correa-
pond within the limits of a atnte, with Madrid,
Denmark, Lisbon. Liverpool, or Paris, and the
poor scholar, who is unsble to visit the classic
soils of Home or Athens, Marathon or Platen,
may cheaply visit their little name-snna in his
more Immediate neighborhood. This mode
of naming our embryo cities may he productive
of much agreeable equivoque hereafter, and in
deed has been already the cause of some hub-
crouse mistakes. The editor of the Liverpool '
Kaleidoscope, misled by (he name of Hamburgh
in the slate of Smith Carolina, and having seen
the notice taken in the Charleston prints of Mr.
Hchulla'a steam boat Commerce, thus remarks ■
''The expected, yet almost incslculabto advan
tages of applying the power of steam to vessels
navigating the Atlantic, are about to be fully
real,end. The Commerce steam slop lately
stand from Charleston, 8. C. with merchand ae
and paasengers to Hamburgh ; thus uniting, in
(me continue! voyage, the breadth of the At
lantic ocean and the German sea. The Charles
ton papers alate, that two nr three oilier steam
vessels will immediately be built or piochased
for tile aame trade. Indeed, to aucli perfection
has this species of navigation now ar-iveil, on
both side, the Atlantic, that we should not be
surprised to observe, soon, the pasavge from
Europe to Americs advertised to be performed
with the probable punctuality and despatch ol
a mail coach.”
The editor then goes on in a strain nf raptur
ous exultation and anticipation of the benefits
to be derived from steam navigation! all which
may be in the main, true, but from the error in
the premise,, is rendered extremely ridiculous.
He l tile thinks that Hamburgh is hut a town of
yesterday, and that whatever it may become,
it will be some time before it rivalsits namesake
<m the other side of the "Atlantic ocean and

HOUSE OF COMMONS-Juke 10.
Corn Importation Hill.—The Marquis
of Londonderry, on Ihe report being
brought up, thought it would be desirable
to defer further discussion on it until the
third reading. He said there was a strong
opinion nguinst the clause introduced by
the member for Liverpool, and lie should
oppose that clause, and proceed with the
lull. The clause might bn brought for
ward in the shape of a separate bill.
Mr. Canning sniil he would tuke the
sense of'the House on the clause. The
session was too far utlvanred for him to
accept uf any compromise ; and Ilia con
stituents were willing lo arquiesce to any
regulations or precautions that might be
devised. Several members here express,
d their disappinbation ot the clause; Mr.
Curwen said it could not protect the agri-
culturisls, for whose protection the bill
was intended ; and ituRWded no security
against any quantity of corn finding its
way into the home market. Mr. Bright
supported the cluuse, os due in equity, to
the commercial interests. The Custom-
House regulations were sufficient to pre
vent illicit importation ul foreign flour.
General Gascoyne suid the cnminerciul
interest asked fur nu bunn, nr for anylhiug
which they were not entitled to in equity;
he supported the clause. Sir J. Seahriglit,
Sir E. Kuaichbull, Sir T Lethbridge and
others opposed it. Mrt Ricardo support
ed it.
Mr. Cannirg replied. He would not
have brdnghtit forward had lie conceived
that it militated against the agriculturists.
He conceived that his clause went to re
move an evil which Parliament were cal
led upon in justice and equity to remedy.
Still, however, much aa he thought the
clause unnecessary, he would not press it
it he believed it could defeat the main
objects of the bill; and whether thia clause
was agreed to or not, he should still vote
for the bill. But he begged uf the House
to consider the situation in which the im
porters of foreign corn were placed. He
contended, that they ought nut to refuse
the commercial interest the clause, while
it would not injure the agriculturalists
it would be more fair to prohibit the im
pnrtation of foreign corn altogether than
irom time tn time, by legislative enact
ments to deprive the importer of his ad
vantage, whenever God's providence
should render the corn so imported unne
cessary to our national wants. If this
principle was that upon which the country
gentlemen meant to act, let them avow
it plainly ; but if they did not mean to go
thus for, tlien it would be unwise, unjust
aod unfair, to turn tliat importation which
was at first calculated for the national
advantage, to the ruin ot the importers.
