The Courrier Belge has ten closely printed columns, giving an account of the first two days (Thursday and Friday) proceedings, which were not concluded. BRUSSELS, AUG. 20.—Last night about ten o'clock, M. Londoz, a rich proprietor, residing in the causeway of Molenbeck, St. Jean, had just got home from a club, when hearing a noise in the cellar, be took a pistol and went down to Oiseover the cause. At the moment of entering tho cellar he received a wound from some fire arm in the breast. He had just strength enough left to get up stairs, but on reaching his bedroom, fell down and expired immediately after. On hearing the shot fired, Mrs. Londoz rose, and saw a person escaping through the garden. BRUSSELS, Auu. 22.—1 t appears that M. Londoz, when he heard the noise in the cellar, took two pistols, one lorded, the other not, and when he got to the list step he was roughly attacked by a vigorous arm, and a desperate struggle ensued, as is evident from the clothes of the victim and various traces. The perpetrator pro bably wrested the pistol from M. Londoz, which was dis charged during the struggle, whether accidentally or not is at present uncertain. M. Londoz, it seems, on hearing the noise in the cellar, went up stairs to get his pistols, and to inform his wife. The report of the pistol awakened the servants and the neighbours. The ser vants immediately hastened down stairs and found their unfortunate master lying on the ground, unable to say any more than the word " wounded." They car ried him to th e d raw i ng - room an d l a id hi m on 'a sofa. The physician and a priest, who had been instantly sent for, arrived too late to see him alive. Only orte pistol (that whi c h h a d b een d isc h arge d) was T . ear the victim, so that it may be believed that the as ssssin, not knowing that the second pistol was unloaded, took it to defend himself, if necessary, in his flight. It is singular that the event was scarcely known when it was generally reported in the neighbourhood that Mr. Londoz had committed suicide, which every circumstance proves to have been impossible. Of course we have only conjecture on this event; the murderer has not been dis covered, and every suspicion respecting the author of the crime must be suppressed. M. Londoz was a vigorous man, of lofty stature, in the prime of life. He leaves a widow and four young children. His fortune is said to have been 40 000 francs per annum. The Countess of Napua, widow of the last King of Holland, William L, arrived at Brussels to-day at four o'clock. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 13.—Our newspapers pub lish the following Imperial Ukase to the Directing Senate on the 18th of July :—" It appears that the ill disposed persons who, in the month of February last, made attempts in the republic of Cracow, in Posen, and in Galicia, to overturn the existing Government, had accomplices in the Governments of Wilna, Kauen, and Grodnos. We have to extend to the said Governments the measures already prescribed for the maintenance of the public security in the kingdom of Poland, and the government of Podolia and Wolhynia, and accordingly, order the Governments of Wilna, Kauen, and Grodnos, as in a state of war, and place them under the command of the Prince of Warsaw, Prince Paskewitsch Erivanski, Field-Marshal and Commander-in-Chief." KIEL, Auc. 15.—(From the Weser Gazette.) We believe that we may positively state that the Emperor of Russia, on receiving a letter from the Grand Duke of Holstein, respecting the succession of Sleswick-Hol stein, said he should not at present interfere in any manner in this matter. As the several claims on Hol stein are expressly reserved to the Emperor by the letters patent—(" It appears there are certain circum stances which hinder us from speaking with the same precision of the hereditary right to Holstein")—this is very intelligible, and the Emperor may quietly wait to learn what offers may be made to him on the part of Denmark to consent to " recognise the integrity of the Danish state in its totality." In his position it is cer tainly more correct to let the affair takes its course. On the other hand, it becomes more and more probable that England, and doubtless France also (especially to coun teract the pretensions of Russia), have declared for the maintenance of the union of dominions now governed by Christian VIL The national policy of Germany has of course no ad vocates among foreign nations, and can be promoted only by the powers of the German confederation. All will depend upon the two great German powers acting as their duty and interest prescribe. BRESLAW, AUG. 15.—A convention is said to have been concluded between Austria and Prussia, by which both parties are to exercise the strictest vigilance to pre serve the rights of Germany from being in the slightest degree violated or infringed. The visit of his Majesty the King of Prussia to Konigswarth, though short, was decisive, and gave the final turn to this affair. The approximation of Austria to Prussia is more cordial than ever. Independently of less important indications, there are two facts which indisputably lead to this conclusion. The daily increas ing coolness in the relations with Russia, and the dif ferences between Austria and the Papal See. At all events this approximation is decisive in the affairs of the Prussian constitution. So much is certain, that at the beginning of the year 1847, all the deputies to the pro vincial estates of Prussia will meet at Berlin, and that the official notices on the subject will appear in the course of this month or the next. FROM THE RHINE, AUG. 10.—It was reported some time ago, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau had asked for the hand of the Grand Duchess Cathe rine, younger sister of his deceased consort, daughter of the Grand Duke Michael ; but that the permission for this •union had been refused by the Chief of the Holy Syud (i. e. the Emperor of Russia), as contrary to the usages of the Greek Church. It is said that the Emperor will now give his consent to this mar riage. Her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Catherine was born on the 28th of August, 1827. In her person and manners she is said to be a striking re semblance to her deceased sister, the Duchess Eliaabeth. —Hamburyli Papers, Aug. 22. PRICE SD. THE MOORS. PERTIISHIRE.—Sportsmen could not have obtained a day more favourable than the 12th for their first opera tions, and the success that has attended some of them shows that they must have been diligent in improving the favourable opportunity. The birds are represented as being as strong as they were ever seen at the season of the year ; and, on the whole, the sport has been reckoned as good as could be expected. INVERNESS.—In this quarter sportsmen found the 12th all that could be desired. Tapo•worm, we are sorry to learn, is prevalent this season—fatal to the birds in some moors; on others it is only suspected, from the grouse being less plump than usual. The de mand for shootings continued to increase r.s the 12th approached.—lnverness Courier. STIRLINGSIIIRE.—On account of the previous rains, the grounds were uncommonly wet, and the birds, al though not scarcer than last year, wild, would not allow a near approach. The sportsman had thus to be con tented with single birds, and the numbers bagged were not numerous.—Stirling Journal. AYRSIIIRE.—In consequence of the soaked state of the grounds, wherever the heather was burned or short., the birds took instantly in packs to the low grounila where they were seen in flocks of from twenty tr; fifty. On such moors or hills the best shots had no chelce; and we have notice of several parties of two each, some of which never burned powder, and others tat got only a brace or so each, afterhard fagging. On 'strictly protected grounds, owing to the wetness, the 'oirds, though moro plentiful, were also wild. In the virinity of Barrhill, on tho confines of Ayrshire and Galloway, game is abundant, and sportsmen are enjoying much better sport than was anticipated. On the 12th August, one gentleman, along with a gamekeeper, on a single farm of no great extent, bagged 40i brace. Another sportsman, on the same day, bagged 12i brace. The birds, however, are in general much inferior in quality to those of last year. Ayr Advertiser. TUE REV. JAMES FORIIBY v. TUE GRAVESEND AND Rocn sSTEN . RAILWAY COMPANY.—The dispute between the Rev. J. Formby and the Gravesend . and Rochester R a il way Company was brought to a conclusion about a month ago,. It will be recollected that in the month of October last some labourers of the company were b roug h t b efore the Mayor and magistrates of Rochester for cutting down some trees, the property of the reverend gent l eman, when the parties were fined, and it was after war d s settle that all matters in dispute between the parties should be submitted to arbitration. The wall which the company had built for the Rev. Gentleman, who had given some land up to the company for the purpose of making a coach road from the station at Frindsbury, the award ordered, that as it was not built properly it should be taken down and rebuilt, which accordingly has been done, and in addition a gateway of the Reverend Gentleman's has been blocked up by the company, by placing a nine-inch wall between the piers of the gate which has much annoyed Mr. Formby, and as the work men had been found to have done some damage to the gates, the subject was brought before the Mayor and magis trates of Rochester, on Saturday, the 22d inst., and John Parkes and John Ashdown, bricklayers, were charged with wilfully and maliciously damaging and spoiling two gates, and two piers thereof belonging to the Rev. Mr. Formby, which, under the Wilful Damage Act subjects the of fenders to the penalty of 51. Mr. W. Hayward appeared for the Rev. complainant, and Mr. Wickham for the defendants, who pleaded not guilty. Mr. Hayward, in opening this case, said his client had acted through all the proceedings from first to last with the greatest forbearance, and was about to enter into a brief history of the long pending disputes between the parties, when the Bench observed that they had nothing to do with any dispute between the Rev. Mr. Formby and the Canal Railway Company, that took place six months ago. Evidence then was given by Mr. Formby's gardner, that the two defendants were on Saturday, the 15th, building a wall between the piers of his master's gateway. The gate was painted, and is now smeared over with mortar. The damage done may be 11. or M 51. On the part of the defendants, Dir. George Ward, anin dependent gentleman, living at Dartford, deposed that he gave orders to stop up the gate, and it was done according to his instructions. The bench convicted the defendants, 64. damages, and costs 14s. NINETY-SECOND HIGHLANDERS. — The hoad-quarters division of the gallant 92d Highlanders, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel BP Donald, marched into this city Ott Thursday, en oute from Belfast to Enniskillen, to relieve the 26th Canerenians, ordered to Dublin from that garrison. The men were billeted through the city for the night and proceeded on their march on Friday morning. The regi, ment is composed of fine soldier-like athletic young fel lows, and the band is one of the best, it is said, in the service. Our Belfast contemporaries express great re gret at the departure of the gallant corps from that garrison, as their conduct, while quartered there, was most regaler and exemplary. It is on the march that the irregularities _oef any corps, inclined to be irregular, will be most o . bsel im bi t : and if the conduct of the regiment was such, while i n B a er as we observed during the short stay of the head quters' division, and the other divisions that Ithe gallant regiment deserves. all th o e zt.e., encomium s press has bestowed on ii. —Gister a preceded it, thineoußrevoscityt, , J% -)k, $ .Ast•ry. .

The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, Ile advantages resulting from the invention are various and striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwellin-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, &c, ; these are entirely obviated by the " PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BunNza." As the cost of laying on gas is much lower than is com monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the "Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, are shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burner. The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was heated, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip , wh ile the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas , prod uced a very pqrfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third." CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, Mc Men, and Co.'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROBT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niel!, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a saving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, No. 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector. The UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER is used nightly at the Poly technic Institution, and may be had and seen from 11 till 4, at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross ; and of all Gas Fitters in London.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, far they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owe organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof In their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfigly imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the 111 e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation Di' our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

NOTICES Os' THE PRESS. From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and ' inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the information it con tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really Indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices kf the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and wifely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks foundod by manslaughtering quacks." From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea lousies which sever the peace of families."

BAREFACED. SWINDLE. One of the most complete cases of " doing" a trades man we have heard of for some time has been mentioned to us, in which the acuteness of Mr. Best, grocer, Cum berland-street, has decidedly been bettered, notwith standing the apparent paradox, in testimony whereof it may be stated that he has been victimised to the tune of some 161. It appears that some weeks since a woman, having the appearance of a servant, called at Mr. Best's house, and made some inquiries respecting his lodgings, representing that she was named Sarah Wilkings, and was the housemaid to Sir Robert Geneves, who, with " Lady Margaret," was staying at Cocki am's, Exeter, and desired to reside a short time in this locality. Mrs. Best told the usual charge for her lodgings, namely five guineas per week, but an almost insuperable objection was raised inlimine. The faithful housemaid had been instructed to hire lodgings at six guineas, and the worthy Baronet would not be content with any apart ments and attendance that cost less. The value re ceived seemed actually to be a less consider ation with. him than the sum demanded. Oh ! he was so aristocratic, and Lady Margaret " such a nice person." Mrs. Best and the commissioned servant were about to part on the same; when the latter sug gested that the difficulty might be got over by a short and easy method, namely, upon the principle of a man being more satisfied by being " well pleased than well served ;" couldn't Mrs. Best charge six guineas, and please all parties? This ought to have been sufficient to disclose the dishonesty of the woman at once, but it was not perceived. Mrs. Best demurred to any such proceeding, but ultimately, the " housemaid" deter mined to write off to Sir Robert. In due course she alleged :she had received an answer, and the lodgings were to be taken, the servant remaining there " to prepare the way before him." Presently a letter was received from Sir Robert by Wilkings, informing her of his expected arrival on a certain day, and ordering a splendid dinner to be prepared. This was done in the best possible style, and by the most skilful "gastronomic regenerators," as the new fangled phrase now is. Lo no Sir Robert appeared, and in the misery of disappointment, Wilkings took the meats that now "coldly furnished forth the lodger's table," and by means of a subsequent " letter" managed to explain the cause of Sir Rt.bert and Lady Margaret having broken appointment. Meanwhile goods came from all quarters for Sir Robert Geneves, and were handed to the custody of the confidential house maid—she even went to a respectable person and en gaged her daughter as a lady's maid, to wait upon the very nice Lady Margaret." Other dinners were or dered, other disappointments ensued, other cold meats came to the share of Sarah. At length a letter was received from Sir Robert, in which he said, " give my compliments to Mrs. Best," and Mrs. Best, who knew nothing of the Hon. Baronet, and who believed the Hon. Baronet knew nothing of her, thought this rather too strong. Shortly after a letter was dispatched to Cockram's, and an answer returned to the effect that no such parties as Sir Robert and Lady Geneves were known at the New L on d on. Th e c l ever S ara h w as up to a thing or two, and either getting scent of this, or thinking she had gone as far as she could venture with safety or convenience to herself, walked off as much as she possibly could of " Sir Robert's articles," fur nished by parties in Stonehouse and elsewhere, and quietly set her locomotives to work on Monday last, since which time she has not been heard of. A war rant has been issued for her apprehension.—Devon port Paper. The Devonport Independent gives a long account of an excursion made by her Majesty to Cotehele House on Fri day morning. Her Majesty returned at four o'clock, and dined on board the 'Victoria and Albert. Prince Albert was to make an excursion to Dartmore on Saturday, and on Mon day (yesterday) the royal party left for the Scilly Islands, visiting Falmouth and St. Michael's Mount on their way thither. PAINTING ON LAVA.—On this subject, respecting which we offered some remarks in our last number, 111. Delecluze has stated some particulars to the Journal des Debats, which we may here recapitulate. The process (he says) is not new, but was projected twenty years ago, by M. Mortileque, a manufacturer of vitrifiable colours. Occupied during much of his life in perfecting the art of enamel painting, he experimented on various substances with a view to obviating the injurious effects of the expansion and con traction of the metals on which the white enamel for the reception of painting is ordinarily applied. After many attempts, M. Morteleque thought of lava—but there remained to be overcome one objection to paintings on enamel—a certain vitreous appearance, unsuitable to the imitation of opaque objects. To the cure of this evil M. Morteleque now devoted his efforts ; and having obtained a white enamel capable of being applied on lava, and whose elements permit the use of colours and their simul taneous development, he composed a white, which, mixed with other colours, gives them a solidity of tone, that brings enamel painting nearly to the perfection of painting on oils. and even allows of re- touching to an important extent. His son-in-law, M. Hachette, followed in the same course; and amongst those who were struck with the applicability of this process to the decoration of edifices was M. llittorf, the architect of Saint Vincent-de-Paul. The material in ques tion was brought into use for the inscription of the names of streets in the capital. M. Abel de Pujol employed it on an altar of the church of St. Elizabeth; and it was then deter mined to make that attempt upon its capacity for historical compositions on a vast scale, which has resulted in the striking performance by M. Jollivet.—Artisan. KNIFE SWALLOWING. —The following singular case occurred during the present month, in the practice of Mr. Gill, residing at Pentonville. A child, seven years old, living in Islington, swallowed, on the evening of the 6th of pen knife, three in c h es l ong. Th e l a d , a August, an open very sickly one, was subsequently visited by Mr. Gill, who found the symptoms slight, consisted only of a little fever ishness, with occasional pains, and some tenderness over the lower part of the stomach. lie was kept perfectly quiet, the stomach fomented, and sedatives, with occasional doses of castor oil administered. On the morning of the sixth day, contrary to the opinion of some eminent physicians, to whom the case was related, the knife was passed from the body, blade downwards, with perfect i m p un i ty to the pa tient, who rapidly recovered.

MR. COBDEN AND THE FREE TRADERS IN FRANCE. (From the Times.) It is not the least pleasing part of the honours which have attended Mr. Cobden's successful career, that he should have been received in Paris, not as the represent ative of any exclusive interest, or even as a distinguished i o f results principles up o n member of th e E ng li s h L egislature, but as the active ewhichver3 civilised ldestinedsed community t oconfe n theirth the promoter beneficert world. Pew men who have been so ardently engaged in a great party cont es t h ave suffered so little as Mr.' Cubden has . done from the narrowing effects of all such contro versy. On the contrary, his conceptions seem gradually to have enlarged as the object of his exertions drew nearer to his grasp. The views which he originally adopted as a Manchester manufacturer, for the espe cial advantage of that class of the population of England with which he was himself connected ra pidly expanded, until they embraced the general wel fare of this country in the cause of free trade ; and no sooner had they received the sanction of England than the truth and wisdom of these principles en sured their recognition and adoption in other parts of the world. The whole spirit of this great change has tended more to union than to division. Mr. Cobden may claim the credit of never having sought to set one class of the community against another class, but rather of endeavouring to remove those errors of legislation and opinion which had so long been a ground of contention between agriculture and manufactures, the two great limbs of the nation. And the same auspicious influence may be extended to the union of other countries, in the relations of commercial interchange, and to the removal of those barriers and custom-house troops who wage an incessant warfare on the intercourse of mankind. We are very well aware that in the present constitution of political society in France, there is hardly any country in Europe (except Spain and Portugal) from which less is to be expected in the way of commercial reform. But this fact is so inconsistent with the position of the French nation in the world that it cannot be perpetual. The names of Turgot and Say deserve to be quoted by the side of Adam Smith and Ricardo in the annals of political economy; and nowhere have the scientific principles of free trade been demonstrated by ,. more rigorous argu ment or illustrated with keener ingenuity. The in terests of land, and of almost all its products, are, in France, unequivocally on the side of free trade. It is a mere pretence and a delusion to suppose that they are not. French agriculture suffeis far more than it gains by the protective system, although that same sys tem excludes the necessary supply of live-stock, and interferes with the import of raw material under various forms. Lastly, some of the members of the present Government, and especially M. Duchatel, who, as Minister of the Interior, deservedly occupies the second place amongst them, are, in theory at least, partisans of that system of commercial freedom of which several other countries have now given such striking examples. France has then as clear an exposition of the sound principles of trade as has been given by any writers ; she has a vast and prepon derating national interest, with nothing to fear, and everything to gain from freedom of trade; and she has Ministers perfectly competent to advance, by gradual steps, in the right direction. The Journal des Debuts, speaking the language of some of the most en lightened men connected with the Government, has taken the opportunity of Mr. Cobden's reception in Paris, to declare itself most forcibly and decidedly in favour of commercial reform ; and there is no doubt that the late changes in England and in the United States have already proved a heavy blow and great discouragement to the doctrines of protection all over the world. Yet, in spite of all these circumstances we do not anticipate a speedy triumph of free-trade principles in France, and this not so much for commercial as for political reasons. The comparatively small class of 220,000 electors who return the Chamber of Deputies are in the main a pro tectionist class. The Chamber of Deputies is protec tionist—even more so than the Chamber of Peers, where wen like the Due D'Harcourt, M. Anisson Duper ron, and M. Rossi have taken a leading part in favour of free-trade. And until the great mass of the consumers in the country have been taught to know what a burden of indirect taxation they really bear, under the form of protection, we have little hope that public opinion would support a Minister in a series of bold and effectual commer cial reforms. Mr. Cobden's address to the Economists Club in Paris was distinguished by the tact and propriety with which he avoided anything that might have savoured of undue interference in the public affairs of a foreign state. The cause he represents is fortunately one which has as much to hope from the ukases of the Emperor Nicholas, or the infallible decrees of the Roman Pontiff, as from the impulses of the American democracy. It is, in short, the cause of the wealth of nations rightly understood ; and, although we have scarcely a right to complain if others hold back upon the road on which we ourselves have lingered so long, yet the conviction with which we look forward to the ultimate practical termination of these discussions, falls in no degree short of absolute moral certainty. It will deserve to be no ticed by those who may hereafter investigate and describe the phenomena of our age, that the English, who are rightly regarded as a practical rather than a speculative or theorizing people, have, nevertheless, within the last quarter of a century, undertaken on theoretical prin ciples, some of the greatest experiments in science and in legislation which the world has ever witnessed ; whilst the French, on the contrary, who are certainly our equals in the theory of the sciences, whether material or moral, have, since their great revolution, shown the greatest dis trust of all theory, and the utmost reluctance to try innova tions not fully sanctioned by experience. Thus our extraordinary system of credit and currency, our immense expenditure for railroads, our reform of the Post-office, our emancipation of sieves, and our free-trade system, are based upon theories cau tiously and carefully formed by the method of in duction, but which nothing but actual experiment could demonstrate to be practical benefits. No other nation in the world, except perhaps the people of the United States, would have dared to make such ex periments ; and as for the states of continental Europe, they are still shivering on one shore, ere they venture to cross the flood, when we have al most emerged upon the other. Upon the whole, this conservative dread of change is the safer tendency of the two ; and more is to be risked in seeking to lead the age than in consenting to follow it. But no accident can permanently place a nation like that of France behind the vanguard of civilisation and improvement; and we sincerely hope, that when the new Chamber of Deputies meets for the dispatch of business, a party will not be wanting of sufficient • strength and importance to encourage the Government to enter upon the removal of commercial restrictions. THE CLOSING SESSION. (From the Weekly Dispatch.) Mr. Editor,—A few days must send the Parliamentry gentlemen about their business—that is to say, about their pleasure. Some will be off to the country, and some to the coast ; some to the moors, and some to tl e Continent. The parting speech which prorogues them will thank them for their generosity (at our expense) ; and admonish them to set a 'good example to their tenantry, which doubtless they will do, in the same style as heretofore. It is astonishing how immoral the rustics would be, if the aristocracy did not sometimes reside a little while at their seats. Hence the blessing of genie laws and game preserves. No partridge, no landlord ; and no landlord, no morality nor religion. Our civilisa tion hangs upon hares, and pheasants are the cause of piety in peasants. Were it not for the shooting months, we should have no good manners ; as, if they lasted through the year, we should have no law-making. Every thing in its season. Most people are heartily glad the Parliamentary season is over. The closing session will be remembered in history. And the popular triumph, in the repeal of the corn-laws, by which it is distingui.hed, will be even less remarkable than the new light it has thrown on the character of Sir Robert Peel, and the new position in which it has placed him. At the beginning, or a brief time previously, he was apparently the permanent Premier, with a stronger party at his back than ever before supported a Minister ; at its close, he is a private gentleman, without office, power, or party. At its commencement, he was the ob ject of public distrust ; at its close, he commands the na tional respect and gr a tit u d e . F or th e fi rst t i me i n poli tical history, we have beheld a statesman in the plenitude of authority and influence, making a deliberate sacrifice of power and patronage to the rights and wants of the people—sacrificing even his own character in the estima tion of those by whom he had been raised to the summit of his ambition. We have seen the man whose course had been the crookedest made an outcast from his party on account of his integrity, and exposed to the bitterest vituperation. Sir Robert Peel has fallen from pewer, and risen to greatness. He has lost a faction, and gained a nation. Accusations of treachery evince his integrity. Scornful assaults illustrate his dignity. Desertion only leaves him in unapproached grandeur. There is no similar instance on record of a party leader, and the tool of an aristocracy, foregoing all the ad vantages and re sisting all the temptations of his position to become the man of the people, and work out their deliverance from the most oppressive and pernicious monopoly ever de vised, and upheld by the sinister interests of class legis lation. This appeal from party to the people must produce important results. Sir Robert Peel did not leave the Tories to join the Whigs. He has not demolished his own party to strengthen that of Lord John Russell. He is under no compact. His stand is taken upon the prin ciples of commercial freedom and equal justice. He has no further occasion for tactics ; no nee d o f su pp r essions or concessions. By him, and by the public, a new and grand experiment is in course of trial. That reforms should be gained, and the country governed without party organisation, has always b een p ronounce d an im possibility by political quidnuncs. The monkey without a tail has been held less ridiculous than a statesman without a tail. A thousand times we have been told that " when bad men conspire goo d men mus t com bine." The first step in a different dir ec ti on was th a t of Sir Robert Peel in abolishing the corn-laws. He may bs said to have done it alone. From the night when he announced his plan, party was, as to that question, abolished. Truth, justice, and public opinion, were arrayed against monopoly in the House of Com mons, as they had been in the arena of popular agi tation. Peel, with no party, carried his point in the presence of all parties. Relinquishing office in the hour of victory, he took his second step in the no-party direc tion. He made that memorable declaration of Irish policy. The House heard with amazement the lan guage of political equality and universal justice. It was again felt that the Minister had become a man. He was declaring truths, not beating up for recruits. Our drilled politicians cannot comprehend it yet. For the people, it is a great lesson. Can we not do without party? It little matters by whom the mere routine of Governmental business is conducted. The clerks in the offices really do that, though ,Peers are put it over them to take the credit and the money; and where great prin ciples and needful reforms are concerned, what has party ever clone but impair and compromise them? The his tory of party in power is the history of compromises ; its history out of power is that of large promises, to be followed by small performances. It is the " madness of many for the gain of a few." A statesman who disre gards it is a treasure to a nation. We should learn to disregard it too. Neither Whigs nor Conservatives are wanted; but men who will claim the redress of grievances, whoever may be in or out. We should seek the triumph of principles, not of persons. Towards this common sense in politics, Sir Robert Peel has made himself the nation's leader. This is the moral of the session; it can only be thrown away through our own folly. In the Bentinck and Disraeli corps the session pre sents the counterpart of this picture. Here is a new party; it aspires to the Government. It has neither political theory nor practical statesmanship —it is banded together for the support of no one institution— it aims at no one reform—it simply seeks place and power for its own profit. The profits to some of hand some salaries, and to others of partial laws. Its means are unscrupulous as its ends are selfish. It has stretched the forms of the House to their utmost extent of vexatiousness. It supported and opposed the Irish Coercion Bill, just as the division could be made subser vient to its purposes. It will vote white one day, and black the next. It deals in vituperation and insolence. Looking to an election, it recommends the coercion of voters. It is destitute even of the old cant of party, and disregards the old decencies and conventionalisms of party. It would bully itself into office, and ride rough shod over the community. These corn and game-law gentry are now exhibited in their true colours. They hold a creed yet more monstrous than " the monstrous faith of millions made for one." According to them, all things were made for a squirearchy. Corn grows for the partridges first, and the people afterwards. Manufacturers work, not for the world's market, but for home consumption; 1. e., for the few in robes, while the many have only rags. Talent in Parliament is an impertinence, unless it be subservient. They are feudalism without its superior enterprise, and aristocracy without its superior refine ment. For them to rule, would be more disgraceful than the Norman Conquest. Peel has felled them to the earth. It only remains for the constituencies to trample out the rest of their proud and sordid existence. The Whigs are bewildered. They have been tumbled into power by events, and know not what to do with it. They are a party, and cannot join to extinguish party. They follow Sir Robert Peel on the corn-laws, to their little utmost ; always keeping rather in the rear. They helped to turn him out on the Irish Coercion Bill, and then brought in the Irish Arms' Bill, and then threw it up again. Sir Robert Peel gave the corn monopoly three years, in the face of a fierce opposition ; so they have given the sugar monopoly five years, in the face of a feeble opposition. a The dying session bequeaths political power to the people, if they have but nerve enough to take the legacy. If the Whigs know not what to be at, it is for the peo ple to teach, and to command them. If Sir Robert Peel have no party to realise his policy, it is for the people to make him one for the occasion. If monopoly continue to rave, and threaten mischief, it is for the people to apply the straitwaistcoat to the obstreperous patient. The " social revolution," as it has been truly called, which this session has accomplished, is a transference of power to the industrial classes and to public opinion. It is cur own fault should that power go back to an oli garchy. Sir Robert Peel, at present, is the great repre sentative of the British nation. He can only remain so by the action of public opinion, telling Lord John Rus sell it will not put up with inertness or compromise; and Lord G. Bentinck that it will not be bullied. By pub lic opinion we shall represent ourselves. Let it be alive and alert, and Great Britain is, for the future, the mo narchy of the industrial classes. PUBLICOLA. THE METROPOLITAN POLICE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Allow me to call your attention to the following fact :—Last evening on the extreme end of Blackfriars-bridge, surrey side, a concourse of persons were assembled on the pavement to witness a most disgusting scene—three mem apparently drunk, fighting and endangering the lives of the quietly disposed by causing them to deviate from their course, and go into the road, which at that hour (8 o'clock) was crowded with omnibuses. The fray had occupied twenty minutes when, for the first time during the riot, I saw a policeman (362 City). The party had by this time moved on probably sixty yards, Surrey side. I urged the officer to dispel the mob ; he refused, saying, I have no authority beyond the bridge. Surely, Mr. Editor, the populous district of the Black friars-road ought not to be left without the assistance of one of these very useful functionaries for the space of half an hour. A more disgraceful scene I never witnessed. Hoping you will call the attention of the proper authorities to this statement. The brawl had not ceased when I left, nor was a Metropolitan policeman to be found, although a woman, apparently the wife of one of the men, was screaming " murder" lustily.—l am, Sir, &c., August 24,1846. G. P. THE TITHE COMMISSION. The following is the report of the Tithe Commissioners for England and Wales : Tithe Commission, Aug. 12. Sir,—lt is our duty to report to you the progress of the commutation of tithes in England and Wales, to the close of the year 1845. e have received notices that voluntary proceedings have commenced in 9,623 tithe districts ; of these notices 29 were received during the year 1845. We have received 7,031 agreements, and confirmed, 6,704; of these 67 have been received, and 88 confirmed during the year 1845. 5,489 notices for making awards have been issued, of which 944 were issued .during the year 1845. We have received 3,916 drafts of compulsory awards, and confirmed 3,376 ; of these 592 have been received, and 555 have been confirmed during the year 1845. We have received 8,995 appointments, and confirmed 8,660 ; and of these 657 have been received, and 741 con firmed during the year 1845. In 10,080 tithe districts, as will be seen from the above statement, the rent charges to be hereafter paid, have been finally established by confirmed agreements or confirmed awards. We have in our possession agreements and drafts of awards, as vet unconfirmed, which will include 867 additional tithe districts; and make a total when completed of 10,917 dis tricts in which the tithes will have been commuted. We have to repeat the assurance which we have happily been able to give in all our former reports, that the processes of commutation are going on, on the whole, tranquilly and satisfactorily. We have adverted, in two former reports, to the state of the law under what is called Lord Tenterden's Act. We have to express our deep regret that that law remains as uncertain as ever. While this uncertainty continues, it is impossible for us to adjudicate with any justice to the parties in very many cases which await our decision, and in which proceedings are necessarily suspended. We have before explained the very serious delay which must result from postponing these cases. All the alterations and fresh powers which we have ven tured to suggest in our two last reports will be carried out, if a Bill now before the Legislature should receive the royal assent this session. We have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful and obedient servants, W. BLAMIRE, R. JONES. To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., &c., Home Office. THE NAVAL RETIREMENT. The following is a copy of the plan of retirement for 200 captains, intended to be proposed by the Board of Admiralty, and presentedto Parliament by her Majesty's command:— Ist. The rank of retired rear-admiral to be given by seniority to such applicants f rom th e 14s. 6d. half-pay list as may be willing to accept it, with the pay of 11.55. per day, and the corresponding pension to their widows, under the usual restrictions. 2d. An addition of 7s. 6d. per day to be given to ap plicant by seniority from the 12s. 6d. and 10s. 6d. half pay lists, being captains of not less than twenty years' standing, and fifty-five years of age ; officers from both lists to be permitted to assume the title of retired rear admiral, at the period when they would have attained the flag by seniority, had they remained upon the ac tive list. Their widows to be entitled to a pension of 1101. per year, and to the pension of rear-admirals' widows, when the rank of retired rear-admiral has been attained. 3d. The vacancies upon the IL list to be filled by offi cers now accepting the 18s. per day, but the permanent retired list to be reduced to 100, by making one appoint ment for every two vacancies and no higher retirements to be given hereafter than 1/. per day, with the right of assuming the rank of retired rear-admiral when entitled to it by seniority. 4th. The active list of captains not to exceed 500 ; corresponding reduction to be made in the 14s. 6d., and 12s. 6d, halfpay lists, the first to consist of 75 captains, and the latter of 100. sth. Good service pensions to be retained by captains until they reach the rank of rear-admiral or retired rear admiral. 6th. The number on the admirals' list is not perma nently to exceed 150, and is thus to be distributed:-30 admirals, or 10 of each squadron; 45 vico-admirals, or 15 of each squadron; 75 rear-admirals, or 25 of each squadron; but it is not intended that any flag promo tions should take place before the plan of retirement is carried out. 7th. The plan to come into operation on the Ist of October of the present year, and all letters relating to it will be treated as strictly confidential. The Milbank Prison Commission had a meeting yes terday at Gwydyr-house, Whitehall. The Commis sioners present were the Earl of Chichester, Lord Sey mour, and Mr. Bickhani Escott.
