Europe, says the Eloile„ sees the consequetces of this deplorable spoliation; and England itself taw them a few years ago, when the pride of Algiers showing less respect to its flag than to that of the order, obliged it to undertake the useless expedition of 1816. Ask all the people who inhabit the shores of the Mediterranean, if t!,a, sea were still protected by the white cross, whether the Barbary squadron would have joined the fleet of the Capitan Paha, and Would Ibrahim himself have ventured to pass from Egypt to the blares? A traveller in the mountains of Ronda, who had been plundered by the Mama Corona, having stated that that chief wanted to force Mtn to cry, The Constitution fir ever ! the peasants, who arc very loyal, went in pursuit of him ; he was surrounded near Antignera, and escaped covered with wounds, and soon after, having lost his four companions, he died in a house where he had found an asylum. Ills wife delivered his body to the authorities, who had ordered strict search to be made :or his retreat, but she refused to believe tho persona who had deceived Itim in his last moments, though they threatened to shoot her, and even made her kneel as if to receive death. Such was the end of this ancient chief of smugglas and robbers. The Courier of last night has a long article, which con eludes by observing, that it would be of no conscquoice, provided the poor could be employed, whether their la bours "offered a jar-siesik of the Pyramids of Egypt, or a re-production , of the Tower of Idabel." The co n c lusion is worthy of the whole Course of reasoning pursued through THE BRITISH PRESS. the article in question ; and the authority of the late Mar quis of LONDONDERRY, which is adduced, were it even supported by still more venerable names of later date, can never induce us to lend our support to an opinion, who" tendency would- be so ruinous in every respect, so de grading to the poor, and so prejudicial to the grand in terests of the country. We shall endeavour, after making a few observations on the subject of emigration as one of the proposed remedies for national distress, to reply to the argmaents of our contemporary on other points. We are not enemies to emigration; we admit that it may be bene ficial to a country. But how is it beneficial ? On the same principle undoubtedly that the exportation of corn in creases the activity of its production, and renders it more plentiful in consequence of the excitement thus occasioned. Mstsneus is extremely anxious to prove that emigration did not thin the population of Spain, because those dis trios of Spain from which the greatest emigration took place arc now the most populous in the kingdom. Emi gration itself, then, if the arguments of that writer are correct, has the effect of diminishing population in pro portion to the means of subsistence only for a moment, and it afterwards tends to increase it in consequence of the impulse given to the generative faculty by the abundance of the means of subsistence. It is obvious that this re newed increase of population, if the means of subsistence did not increase equally, would be productive of the same evils which the increase before emigration had previously occasioned. As emigration operates by diminishingthe demand for corn, it is clear that the diminution of popula tion, which would tend to increase the activity of the ge nerative faculty, would tend to discourage the growth of corn, which can alone maintain an increased population. Thus, even on the principles of lit LTHUR, emigration can only be considered as a temporary relief, if not connected with some methods of increasing the means of subsistence. It is too true that " those who would only call for the labour of the poor where it is obviously and immediately wanted, would in times like these often consign thousands to a state of idleness, and its natural consequence, a state of misery and crime." The journalist goes on to argue with very great accuracy on the present state of things; and we have no hesitatirni in admitting every one of kis assertions, provided it can be shown that no advances can' possibly be made in agriculture. It is most certain that a very limited proportion of the population of England. is employed in the production of necessaries, and if the only employment which is to be proposed for them is to be such as will be paid lot in gold, either by the State or by the rich, we cannot hesitate a moment in saying that it is impossible to employ our poor in ministering to the mere necessities of the higher classes. We have pro posed that they should be employed in ministering to their own necessities, instead of producing superfluities for others. " One men can effect at present what was done formerly by a litindred." This is true, even in agriculture; but while the number of bands necessary for some of the manual operations of agriculture has been diminished, there has been no very considerable increase in the quantity of produce, as in the case of manufactured goods. The case in regard to agriculture, at present, is precisely as if the cotton manufacturers had insisted on keeping up the price of cotton goods by combinations among themselves, to prevent the manufacture of more than a certain quantity for the home market, and, by restrictive enactments, to prevent impor tation. There would then have been no increase of produce , but a great diminution of the labour required for manufac turing it. The farmers holier not indeed agreed to confine themselves to a limited quantity of corn ; but they have placed themselves in a situation which removes all induce ment to increase their present quantity. In agriculture, therefore, produce has not increased in consequence of the machines which have been invented. It must be remem bered, besides, that whatever is done on a large scale may be done on a small scale, and large farmers, or capitalists, have no right to engross the advantages of scientific disco coveries. If every pauper were enabled to do his utmost in improving a sufficient portion of land for the production of food, it is clear that he would be enabled, in all circum stances, to support his family. Any one acquainted with statistics must know that this country, if cultivated with a view only to the production of necessaries, would support a much larger population than at present, even without reckoning upon waste lands, and without anticipating any further scientific improvements. The mere change of pas ture lands to corn or potato fields, would make an amazing difference. We do not propose to turn parks into potato grounds, nor to change sheep, in all cases, for men. IVe would allow the lure unite et de-ente of VOLTAIRE j but to go on increasing useless works, and devising national schemes of this sort, in mere wantonness, we should consider as a degree of folly only to be compared to that which gave rise to the Pyramids or the Tower of Babel. The Courier takes it for granted that it is impossible to employ the poor In useful objects, and therefore proposes to set them to work on what is merely ornamental. This, then, is the issue between us—ls it possible or not to raise a greater quantity of food in this country by employing a greater quantity of labour on the soil? We would almost maintain with GoLnscaiTit, that every rood of ground can maintain its man: at any rate, we are satisfied that a very small por tion of ground—a portion, the rent of which would be much less titan that which would be paid for the same in dividual in the shape of poor-rates—might he made, by careful and economical cultivation, to produce enough to place that individual and his family beyond the reach of want, though not, llsrlsops, is Abe possession of comfort. But we do not consider a modification of this sort in the Poor Laws the only way in which a greater atten tion to agriculture by the public would augment the re sources of the nation. If great capitalists would direct thtir attention more to the cultivation of grain, they would undoubtedly suecct d in making improvements which would enable the production of necessaries to keep pace with that of superfluities. It would be singular if nature had made it possible to increase the products of the manu facturer ad iufiniton, while she has fixed a limit beyond which those of the agriculturist can never be carried. in the present restricted state of the corn trade there is no c - 4- couragement or stimulus to exertion in this departtnent, be cause the grower is forced by the high price of his commodity to confine his attention entirely to the home market, and to aim only at keeping his ground there, instead of trust ing for his profits to the extent of his sales in foreign countries. It is therefore his object rather to increase his prices than to augment his produce ; and a bad harvest is even desirable to the farmer, as lie is enabled then to raise his prices so as to do more, in fact, than indemnify him for the deficiency of crop. 11 - hen lie has a surplus crop, be cannot export it, on account of the little attention which is paid by speculators to a commodity so rarely available in foreign markets. The consequence is, that though some waste lands were brought into cultivation during the war, the improvement in this department has, on the whole, been trifling. The very arguments of the advocates for the Corn Laws, on this head, are proofs of the accu- racy of our propositions. They say that the diminu tion of the price of grain would render it impossible to cultivate the waste lands, because the expense of cultiva tion is so much greater than in the case of good ground. It is obvious that this greater expense must arise from greater labour required, either in the immediate cultivation, or in the production of articles necessary for that cultiva tion. Labour is precisely the commodity of which we have too much, and this species of cultivation is precisely the object in which we are desirous of employing it. While the Courier advocates the liberal but moderate principles of his Majesty's Ministers, we shall ever feel proud of walking in its steps, and adding our feeble efforts in their support; but when it advocates the cause of obsolete pre judices, of partial interests, of contracted notions—we must be content to separate ourtse:ves from it, however re luctantly. In this case we must do so most decidedly, without regard to the influence, the reasoning, or the ridicule of our contemporary. We must do so, even if we should run the risk of being overwhelmed by the new Pyramids, or buried under the foundations of the modern Babel. CITY. Tv ESDAT EVENING. The Money .Market commenced this morning with greet activity. Consols opened at 794, and by twelve o'clock had reached 79j. About this period the settlers were very numerous and weighty: the consequence was a reaction, and at the close of the market they bore the quotation of only 794. It is quite clear that certain parties had calcu lated upon their reaching 80, but upon their getting to 791 they abandoned their position, and realized at that amount, and the effect on the market was as we have stated. In Foreign Stocks there was also some considerable busi ness done. Mexican Bands, which also bad a re-action at the close of the market, were 544, showing a slight ad vance since yesterday of 4 per mut. Colombian are stationary at 334. The Share Market displays about the same degree of alertness as yesterday. Tlalpuxahua have advanced to 10, and Brazilian to 23 premium. Other Brazilian shares that have been below zero show trifling quotations. The sales of Sugar to-day in Mincing-lane have been of some extent, at prices not lower than last sales, and for other articles there is a fair demand. The Course of Exchanges remain without variation. COURT OF ASSIZE. AT PARIS. STOCKJOBBINO. The Sleur Jean Illarie Raymond, aged 43, formerly cashier to Baron Rothschild, banker, at Paris, appeared on Saturday before the Court of Assizes, the Counsellor de Monmerque being Presi dent. The prisoner was received, about the year 1816, into the office of M. Rothschild, in the capacity of a clerk. His salary, fixed at first at the usual rate, soon rose to 8.000 francs (about 320/4 a-year ; but whatever might be the advantages of such a situation, the financial operations which Reymond witnessed, and the considerable sums of motley which were continually passing through his handy, soon inflamed his avarice to such a degree as to lead him into speculations en 'Change which his personal means did not enable him to support. As he was cashier for six years in what is called the Neapolitan Office, and enjoyed in the highest degree the cor &knee of Baron •Itothechild, he Lad constantly large funds at his disposal, and particularly the dividends of the Neapolitan Loan. It was about the year 1819 that Raymond began to gamble in the Stocks. lie employed at first for the purpose a sum of 60,000 franca, which may possibly have belonged to him; but having lost his first capital, in seeking to recover it by specula tions, which became every day moss sail more disastrous, he at last fell to draining without scruple the cash-box which was entrusted to him. He continued to do so for six years in succeasion, anti in order to pay the balances to his debit at each montlt'a reckoning, which brought him a loss, he abstracted sums to such an amount, that, by his own confession, they cannot be estimated at less than 1,61)0,000 francs (about 61,0001.). These embezzlements were continued without being observed till the end of November, 1T28; but Jo s tle was aware that the result of the liquidation at that time must inevitably discover the deficit, Raymond determined to fly, and disappeared from his house on the morning of Sunday, the 4th of December, the evening before the liquidation should have taken place. lie fled to an inn at Bourg la Rriee. Hating re. turned to Paris on the night betweeb the 9th and 10th of the same month, alter wandering about till day-light, he obtained an asylum at the house of one of bra friends, whose hospitality he had im plored fur the moment. lie was arrested in a few hours, and a cord with a running noose was found upon him, apparently in tended to enable him to commit suicide. On his examination he appeared perfectly calm, and answered the questions of the Presi dent with much precision and frankness. The following Interro gatories were put to the criminal and the different witnesses : Pn esinesT —At what time did you enter the service of 11, Rothschild ? Reymonii—ln 1816. Q.—N{9lot was your employment? A—Head clerk. Q.—You were head clerk in the Neapolitan office? A.—That was not the only part of my employment. It was also my duty to pay the contributions imposed upon France by the Allies. Q.—Did you always meet with losses in your speculations ? A. —Always. Q.—After losing the 60,000 francs which were yonr own, where did you find mot ey ? A.—ln the cash-box ; but of all the funds employed in my speculations on 'Change, 1 never kept a single five franc piece for myself. Q.—When you run away on the 4th December, did you take any money with you ? A.—No, Sir. Q.—But you said that you left some money at your house ? A.—l thought that I really did leave 6000 francs, and the indict ment shows that they were not found there. Illy head was so con fused that it is possible I may not have left them. The first witness called was the Baron Rothschild. Q.—Do you know the accused ? A.—To my sorrow. The PRESIDENT here direcird witness to state what he knew on the subject. M. Rothschild then stated the facts contained in the accusation. lie had had such unlimited confidence in the accused, that he would never have thought of examining the cash-box if he had not abecontled. Q.—Did you knew that he was engaged in stock.jobbing ? A.—lf 1 could have thought so, he should not have remained a moment in my house; and I was so freftorniftlnkineeso, that Reymond once expressed himself with great vehemence against a young man who had on a similar occasion abandoned himself to this species of gambling. The next important witness was M. Maubousin, who deposed that he had made a great number of purchases and sales for Rey mond. He managed these transactions as other people do. Nut as a cock-broker. These were transactions de coadeste (behind the scenes). They were tolerated oa flange. The losses of Rey mood in the month of November were 6150,01)0 and odd francs. Ile knew what the employment of Iteymond was, but believed that he acted for others. Messrs. Tastel, Dosne, Demoutis, Revd, ant: ',either., made similar depositions. They believed Reymond to be merely the man of straw in these transactions. All the transactions were unfavourable. M. limber; declared that he had seen a person in the office of Re‘mond who spoke English, and for whose ace count he believed that he was speculating. Reymond-1 never hall any connexion with Englishmen ; the person of whom M. ',outlets speaks was the Spanish Ambassador, M. Casa Intim The ADVOCATE-GENERAL (Ile Vatifreland), in commenting upon the admissions of the accused, took occasion to make many SWIM reflections 011 the evils asking from stotkjobbirg, 31. COUTITRE, on behalf of the accused, urged his former good conduct ; and he maintained that Raymond was not a clerk, but a partner in the house of Rothschild, which exempted him from the capital charge. The Jury, after a few minutes* deliberation, declared the accused guilty of robbery in a house in which he worked as a hired servant. and the Coati condemned Reymoral,in consequence, to eight years' moment in irons. It is said that the balances in of the London hankers, and the amount of unemployed capital in the hands of the hill-brokers, are large at the present moment, almost beyond all precedent. Some of the bankers have depo.ited large sums in the Bank of England, not choosing to keep 60 much wore than they require in their OM cus tody.

TII E EM PEROR Or RUSSIA. —Mr. Potemkin, his Impe rial Majesty the Emperor of Ruasia's Charge d'Affitiret in this country, has lately presented to Colonel Leetlmarn a splendid diamond ring, by command of the Emperor, as a mark of his Imperial Majesty's approbation of a copy of his work, entitled Historical, Military, and l'idoesque Observations on Portugal, which Colonel Landirann had forwarded to his Imperial Majesty, through the hands of his Excellency Count Lievcn. Some of the brilliants ere large, and, together, form an oval about an inch in length with a superb chrysopess in the centre. The admired air of " Bay a Broom," composed by Mr. Henry R. Bishop, with , whose musical talents the public have long bee' familiar, promises to become as great a favourite with the musical world as any of the most ad mired and popular productions of the present day. It is nightly sung by Miss Love, at the Vauxhall Gardens, and is invariably honoured by that enthusiastic encore which it so justly merits. The words, which we understand are from the pen of J. R. Planclle, Eq., are highly cha racteristic, A youth, who was employed by, Mrs. IVithara, of Can field, to take • load of straw to London, on attempting to &berm' from the top of the waggon, fell, and the wh, els passing over his body and face, he was killed on the spot. On Tuesday last, John 011ey, a boy only thirteen years of age, in the service of Mr. Rust, of Great Waltham, was beaten down by the fore horse, when driving a load of sheaves ; the waggon passed over his loins, and he survived the accident one hour only. IVhilat some workmen were boring a tree for a pump lathy, on the farm of Mr. Alger, of Great Canfield, Essex, a child, about 6 years old, who was amusing itself near the spot, was so muc h injured by the accidental falling of the tree, as to survive but a lew hours. A few days since a maid-servant, in the employ of Mr. Kirkby, of Stanstead Rye, in the county of Herts, wctt into one of the men-servants bed-rooms for the purpose of making the bed, but toiler great surprise found it occupied by four neat little dairy-fed porkersof about six state each, who were all fast asleep. The swinish intruders must hare ascended a staircase of twelve steps, before they got posses sion of their snug resting-place. There is now residing at March, an old seaman, named James Gill, upwards of fourscore years of ageollio saved himself from sharing the untimely fate of many a brave companion in-glory. by it-shaming out of one of the lotra port-holes of the Royal George. coral:minded by Admiral Kempenfelt, which gallant vessel being in the heel at Spit head, on the 29th of August, 1742, overset and Bede, when upwards of 1200 persons were on board, including men, women; and children, out of which number it was com puted upwards of 900 were drowned; amongst whom was the brave Admiral Kempen felt, and many of his officers. Among the number of the survivors was the old seaman shove alluded to, who has, until the last two months, con trived to get a scanty livelihood by unending sails and tar paulins. He is now, through illness and failure of eye sight, incapacitated from following his usual employment, and with his aged partner is supported by a weekly pittance from the parish officers of March. Old Jemmy is now growing very infirm, and not being enabled to get the ' tunial 'quota uhf gm'tie was accustomed to when etitPlbyed , is fast steering to that last haven from which no seaman cr landsman ever returned. It is supposed there are now very few survivors who once formed part of the noble crew of that unfortunate ship the Royal George. At the adjourned Sessions, *held in the Guildhall. at Faversham, Henry Jail was sentenced, to two months im prisonment, for unlawfully endeavouring, by threats and intimidation, to prevent John Barnes from taking wort , from the master boot and shoe makers at Faversham. Jots Carey was convicted of a like offence and senteuced for the same period. Thomas Browning was also seuteneed to one month's imprisonment for a similar offence. The fol• lowing day, John Thurstain was fully committed to Faver sham gaol, to take his trial at the next Sessions, for assaulting John Lerner, and for creating a riot ae disturbance in the street. Philip Bedwell was st:s° fully committed, for attempting to rescue the above named John Thurstain, while lie was being conveyed to prison. It is as extraordinary as it is unjust sod unfeeling, that at a time when thousands of our fol low countrymen are nearly starving fur want of ell' ployment, a few infatuated journeymen rile:melees at Favertffisin should wilfully throw themselves out of work, by demanding such wages as they must know it is itre os ,* sib's the masters can give. The men who have left the.' work are allowed Gs. per week each for their arives, 2l 'l l Is. ed. for each child, supplied by the journeymen's sO• cieties of different towns in the county. It would surell. be better policy of these societies, before they lend their sal en such occasions, first to inquire how far the parties the) are called upon to support have been just and re asonablePlac. in their demand ; they might then be doing good in of evil, and' prevent the blundering rashnessof in gip. iterate men leading themselves to disgrace and P went, and thefr families to distress and ruin. i 11 JIVI W,)l al:( irit Or the
