The article from the Times, which appears among our extracts from the Morning Papers, will provoke a smile from those of its readers who recollect the way in which the illustrious family of SAXE COBURG have been treated in the columns of that versatile mouth-piece of the Tory party. It is little more than two months since the Times, speaking of course the sentiments of the leaders of the Hanoverian faction, poured out the vials of its wrath, and opened all the sluices of its Billingsgate upon the Duchess of KENT, because, through her Royal Highness's means, the QUEEN had been saved from the contamination of Tory principles, and educated as the future Sovereign of an empire, not as the patroness of a faction. It must be confessed that this outbreak of rage—had it not vented itself in indecent and unmanly scurrility— was natural enough, situated as the Tories were at that particular time. The late King was on his deathbed, and the plot which they had matured for seizing the Go vernment and dissolving the Parliament during the recess was just frustrated, and with it all their hopes of re-seat ing themselves in office. This it was thatgalled and ruffled them, and the Times, too intemperate in its anger to keep up appearances, as some of the other Tory papers did, at once gave up all chance of a Tory Govern ment under the new state of things, and rashly let out the secret, that the House of Coburg was an object of jealousy and hatred to the so called " Conserva tive" party. The bare rumour—for it was nothing more—that a messenger had been sent from Kensington Palace to acquaint the Earl of DURHAM with the changed position of affairs, drew forth from the " leading" Tory journal a ribald attack upon the " Powers at Kensington." The " older personage" was accused of a plot for " the formation of a KENT-COBURG Ministry ;" and' we were all at once involved in a " beautiful mess"—subjected to an " irresponsible back-stairs tyranny"—to " an intriguing, sordid, female, foreign tyranny." Such was the elegant and complimentary style in which the Tories spoke of the mother of their QUEEN a little while ago ; hut mark the difference in the lan guage they now adopt. The King of the BELGIANS, the uncle of our gracious SOVEREIGN, the brother of the illustrious lady who was then denounced as in triguing to establish a " sordid foreign tyranny," if she dared to converse with her Royal Daughter in pri vate—the King of the BELGIANS may now visit his neice, without exciting the least supicion in a Tory breast. "To suspect that the Royal Guest can be actuated by any sinister designs, were neither cour teous nor charitable," Nay, they (the Tories) " are free to confess that this visit of the Belgic Sove reign is, under all the circumstances of the case, both natural and seasonable." Unquestionably it is ; but the miracle is, how the Tories have mane this discovery. Every honest English heart will par ticipate in the feelings which have prompted the visit of King LEOPOLD ; but that the eyes of the men who imputed such " selfish and sordid" motives to the last visit of the same Prince, should now see no thing but what is natural and reasonable in the pre sent, is one of those things that they alone are capable of accounting for. There was then no more dangerous enemy 01111 LEOPOLD to the future greatness of the Princess VICTORIA—there is now not " a shrewder or safer adviser for the immediate emergencies of the motntnt." And what do our readers suppose is the drift of al this flattery ? Nothing less than to induce the King of the BELGIANS to undertake the task of converting the Queen of ENGLAND to Toryism I I Let his MA JESTY but accomplish this good work, and all his past and future sins will be forgiven. The QUEEN, argues the lueubr..tor in the Times, knows nothing about the state of political matters in the country which she go verns ; she cannot possibly gain this necessary infor mation from any individual within the three kingdoms, as she is kept in durance by the wily Whigs, who never allow her to see a human face unless it be of their own cut ; even her exalted mother is nut allowed to com municate to her a whisper of what is going on in her own kingdom : it is, therefore, " natural and reasonable" that her Itoval Uncle should come all the way from Belgium to tell her all about it—particularly to inform her of the result of the late elections, and of the predilection of the British people for a Tory system of Government 1 A nd—this is a clencher—should King LEOPOLD himself require to be enlightened upon this point before he undertakes the conversion of his Royal Niece, he has 44 confirmation strong as proof of holy writ" in th e most extraordinary fact that the people of Ramsgate husaaed the Duke of \Vim- LRIGToN on Monday last In our columns of this day will be found a Report Of the proceedings which took place at a public dinner at Deal on Friday last—rightly judged by the Mayor and principal inhabitants the most agreeable prelude to a consideration of the expediency of erecting a Pier to facilitate the safe landing of goods and passengers at that , celebrated, but hitherto shamefully neglected port. There is nothing like a good dinner for im parting a solid, pounds shillings and pence importance to patriotic professions ; and that the dinner on this occasion was one of the best that could he cooked, we ate justified in inferring from the fact ) that it WAS followed by a subSeriptien to the amount of 1,7501.—an athaing sum, considering the limited ;limber of the company. When we look to the proximity of Deal to the Downs, and the great difficulty experienced in effecting alanding in the cahnest weather, in consequence of the strong surf break ing continually along a low sandy shore, sufficient al most to Swamp any boat not managed by the most experienced seamen—we are surprised that the Go vernment did not long since see the necessity of erect ing a good harbour at this point. The inhabitants of Deal calculate that a safe harbour might be erected for about 5,0001. Suppose it were to cost double or treble that sum, it would be cheap to the country. What signifies the expenditure of twenty or thirty thousand pounds, when balanced against the losses which the nation has sustained for the last twenty years, solely by the want of any facility of effecting a safe landing here in stormy weather ? Besides now—when we are at peace with all the world—when intelligence has gone abroad, and the people are everywhere acquainted with the importance of affording every encouragement to whatever tends to promote our commercial inte rests—now, we repeat, is the time for expending a part of the public money in works of national im portance. If improvements be not effected in a time of peace, and during an era of national prosperity, it would be the excess of folly to anticipate their com mencement when the country may be involved in a war with one or other of the Great Powers of Continental Europe. We throw out these suggestions not with a view to discourage the patriotic inhabitants of Deal—whose generous exertions we trust to witness crowned with success—but, on the contrary, to impress upon her MAJESTY'S Government the duty of co-operating with them in their noble undertaking. A good harbour at Deal would soon raise that town into commercial and naval importance ; and we no longer doubt but that such a work may be speedily accomplished if the local Authorities set about the business in a manly, honest spirit. All will now depend upon their energy, their perseverance, and the absence of every thing like jobbing. Owing to the haziness of the weather, which pre vented the working of the telegraph, the Paris Papers of Tuesday bring no news from Spain of a later date than the accounts received yesterday. Our extracts from them will, however, be found very interesting. About two thousand Carlists, under the respective commands of ERoLEs, OLr, and CRUAS, continue to blockade Seu d'Urgel, which has yet successfully re sisted all the attempts of the insurgents to force an entrance. The rebels have likewise been driven from before San Juan de Las Abadessas by Bri gadier General AYERBE, with the loss of 120 killed and wounded. The Debats denies that the French authorities took any part in foment ing jealousies against the English, either in Por tugal or Spain. On the contrary, according to that Journal, the French Ambassador at Lisbon pro tested against the attacks on this country, which were daily made in the Portuguese Papers. Such a course would certainly be more worthy of the French Am bassador and of his nation, than the one which he is alleged, by many persons of credit in the Peninsula, to have pursued with respect to our countrymen. An nexed are extracts from the French Papers, containing the latest advices received by them from Madrid : A letter front Toulon of the :24th of August says : " The Deligente corvette has precipitately left the Road, in which she had been anchored only a few days. This vessel is gone to join the squadron under Admirals Gallois and Latande. " The telegraph succassivply tranamita to .11 tl,o mon of war that arrive here, orders to prepare to go to sea again without delay, and as the Captains of those ships sail with sealed instructions, which they are not to open till they are out at sea; nobody in the city knows their destination. " Yesterday the Tartar packet sailed with dispatches for Admirals Latande and Gallois. It had in tow another brig laden with coals, intended, doubtless, for the packets be longing to the squadron. The Cerbere, which arrived from Bona last night, has already received orders to take in its stock of coals, and be ready to light its fire at a moment's notice. The Chinese steam-boat has also orders to be ready. " From the movements which we have observed for se veral days past in our naval department there can bo no doubt that important events are passing in some part of the coast of the Mediterranean. Here reports are continually circulated respecting the affairs of Naples, Spain, and Por tugal, a report has even been spread that a Turkish squa dron was on its way to Tunis for the purpose of indirectly conveying succour to the Bey of Constantine."—Journal des Debats. Although on Tuesday, at a late hour of the morning, no Madrid courier of the 21st had been known to arrive at Paris, the Ilfcssager of Tuesday published the following letter from Madrid, dated the 21st, which, under the cir cumstances, may be considered as very apocryphal : " Last night the Queen Regent made an attempt to escape from her Palace by the Lilas, a promenade which runs along the back of the Royal residence. A strong and devoted body of the Horse Guards were to have ac companied her ; but the plan was rendered ineffectual by their meeting with a patrol of National Guards, who came from the direction of Manzanares, and were entering Madrid by the gate known by the name of Puerta-de- Hceiro. It is not known what direction Christina was about to take in her flight. One cannot understand what object she could have except that of taking refuge under Espartero's protection in the midst of the army." Letters of the 20th, in the evening, contain the follow ing 'intelligence : " MADRID, AUG. 20.—The resignations are pouring in one after the other. Those of Messrs. Muna Sacnz and Armendaritz, under secretaries of state of the finances and interior, have bee❑ accepted by the Regent, to the great discontent of several influential personages. At seven o'clock i❑ the evening M. Pio-Pita Pizarro and the Count of Luchana likewise sent in their resignations to the Re gent, who has not yet made known the resolution she has come to in consequence. She only cried, I see all the world abandons me.' She had scarcely pronounced the words than the resignation of M. Chacon also arrived. The general rfisquietude is at its height. All is in the greatest confusion. The only persons who have accepted appear to be Bardaxi and Evaristo San Miguel, who has been the only person to lay any terms of the programme of the new Ministry before the public, by statin ,, in his speech in the sitting of the Cortes of the 19th, that the Cortes would not be dissolved." ; Other letters state that the public mind is greatly ex sperated against Espartero :—" The ex-Ministers have laid before the CorteA, it is said, written proofs of the intrigues which have taken place during the late crisis. These proofs are printed, it appears, by the order of the Cortes, and the accusation of Espartero is to come forward immediately, in consequent:. Events of a most serious nature are daily looked for." A Madrid correspondent of the Journal General de France positively affirms that a secret agent left the capital on the 14th with orders to excite the troops to revolt against Espartero, who was supposed to he about to enter into the Ministerial combination of the estatutist party, pro posed to the Queen by the Marquis de las Amarillas. The following letter from Vittoria speaks of the military &nettle, already known by the telegraphic despatches, in which Escalera fell, and it gives at the same time the fol lowing details of the assassination of the Governor, Don Laborie Gonzalez, at Vittoria, together with several other officers : " VITTORIA, AUG. 18.—No further disturbances took place on the 17th after the assassination of the Governor Don Laborio Gonzalez, twelve other officers, and th e com mander of the national militia. A few groups of soldiers, of the corps called peceteros, commanded by Martin Zur bano, alone rushed through the streets crying Death to the traitors !' The Governor was in conference with Zurbano at the moment he was assassinated ; and Zur bano, the leader of his murderers, was elected Governor in kis stead." Reports from Miranda inform us that serious disturbances had broken out in that town, on the night:of the 16th and 17th, in consequence of which the General, two Colonels, and two other officers were assassinated.. Every thing is now restored to order. It is remarkable that the soldiery always choose for pretext for their insurrection, their not being more promptly led against the enemy, when the ve ritable cause of these insurrections is the absolute state of destitution in which they are left. The Europe contains the following letter from Perpig nan, dated August 24 : " The 4nglish aro virtually masters of Barcelona, Gen, THE SUN, LONDON, i ntritSDAV, AUGUST 31, 1831. Pastor having received orders From the Government of Madrid to giv e Op th e fli r t o f L a s Ataraianas, which c?cntrands the harbour and a great part, of the town; to the hn,glish.

The station at Barcelona alone consists of five Merl of *at ) tiot ethinting ileVerai other smaller Vessels. 4 The ktatiados are furious against Baron de Meer, whom they accuse of treachery. The General, it appears, has demanded.an additional 6,000 men, and 60,000 piastres, to continue the campaign, and has tendered his resignation as the alternative. The extreme party is daily getting the upper hand here, and the tranquillity of the city is daily compromised. The Menzorial des Pyrekl'es of PaU, of the 24th inst. says—" Detachments from the Carlist garrisons of Elisondo and other places have lately come over the frontier, and carried off numerous herds of cattle and sheep. Some of these have been ransomed at the rate of 12 fr. an ox, and 1 fr. a sheep. These violations have spread alarm along the whole frontier, and it is expected that the French Go vernment will demand signal satisfaction." FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, Are. 29. Five per Cents., 110 f.

We direct the attention of our readers to a commu nication from Constantinople, which will be found in another part of The Sun, on the important subject of legal reforms in the Ottoman empire.

We ex tract the following :-- " On the 25th of April, about five o'clock in the morn ing, a most furious gust of wind arose, from the South East. Upwards of ten boats were upset, and a number of lives lost. " We have heard that a new hong, with four partners, is to be licenced during the third moon. The expences of being enrolled amongst the members of the hong monopoly, hare amounted to 6,000 tales." The Canton Papers contain two long edicts of the Go vernor's report to the Emperor. The first grants permis sion to his Majesty's Superintendent to come to and go from Canton, under licence from the Hoppo. It was received from Howqua on Saturday, and forwarded to Macao the same night. The Edict states that Tang has reported since the Company of the English nation has been dissolved, Taepans have not arrived ; and that in the eleventh moon of last year, the said nation had sent a pub lic officer for the especial purpose of superintending the traders and sailors of this nation who had arrived before, &c. As the ships of that nation are constantly arriving, it is right there should be a superintendant to control them. It is therefore ordered, in conformity to the regulations which were applied to the former Taepans appointed to Canton, that he be permitted to come to the provincial city and enter on his duties. It is further directed that the Hoppo of Canton do give him a red permit to come up, and for the future, whether dwelling in Macao or Canton, he must conform himself to the old regulations ; he must not be allowed to linger about at either place, after the appointed time, until by degrees he fixes himself as a perpetual resident. We quote the following from the Canton Price Current of the 4th April :—" Cotton sales have been continued during the week of the Bengal staple, but without any im provement in price. Cotton yarns and long cloths are only saleable at lnw prices. " OPIUM.—The Bengal drug is almost without demand ; but considerable sales of Malwa have been made at the 0/(i...ins low priaos.

" BRIG FAlRY.—Advices from Manilla state that the brig Fairy has been discovered foundered in the Sea of Santa Maria, and the Justice of Peace at Ylocos was en gaged in investigating the affair. It appears that seven or eight men landed in Ylocos in September last. Two of the mutineers have been apprehended in Ylocos, who have confessed their crime." THE FUNDS, Consols, which were in the course of yesterday rather heavy, left off firm towards the close of the market at 91-1 Account ; Money has become reore in demand than for several days past, owing to mercantile speculations. The business done in East India and other produce yesterday has been on an extensive scale. The accounts from Manchester of yesterday state that there was a very good demand for yarn ; also a fair de mand for goods, and the prices were firm. Upon the whole it appears that our mercantile affairs and manufac turing districts are in great activity at present. Consols opened this morning at 91!

Count gathiany has taken a hunting lodge near Melton for the approaching season. Her Majesty has given a lucrative appointment in the department of the Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse, to Mr. Fozard, the riding master, at whose school, in Park-lane, the Queen used to take equestrian exercise, when she was Princess Victoria. Mr. Cooper, M.P. for the county of Sligo, Mrs. Cooper, and family, arrived at Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave street, yesterday, from their seat, Mackree Castle, Ireland. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Neptune, from Hamburgh, arrived off the Custom house yesterday at twelve o'clock. Her Britannic Majesty's steamer Lightning arrived at Copenhagen on the 15th instant, and proceeded on the following day to Stockholm. Count Woronzow, Governor-General of New Rus sia and Bessarabia, arrived at Odessa from St. Petersburgh on the 30th ult. Count Witt, General of cavalry, has like wise arrived hero. A new episcopal diocese of the second class has been formed of the Governments of Cherson and Tauris. Baron Bulow, the Prussian Minister, will, we are informed on good authority, return to this country by the beginning of November, by which period we understand it was intimated to his Excellency, by the Premier, that it was arranged the new Parliament should meet for the despatch of business. Miss Angela Burdett, heiress to the late Duchess of St. Albans, has in compliance with the desire of her Grace, taken the name of Coutts ; the change will be le gally effected this week. The property is only bequeathed fer life, in case of her having no son ; in which event, after the death of Miss Coutts, it will go to her eldest sister, who must likewise take her grandfather's name. Madame Schroeder Devrient has arrived at Dres den from Hamburgh. At the former theatre her engage ment is for life. The Princess's Theatre, in Oxford-street, is pro gressing towards completion ; and it is said to be the inten tion of the manager, Warde, the tragedian, to open it on the 16th of October. The ascent of Mount Todi, near Linthal, canton of Glaris, was effected on the 19th inat„ by three peasants of that place, The summit of this plopntain had hitherto beep considered inaccessible. LITERAT URE,, THE EAST .t.N.bIES. Whilitther, This forms one of the volumes of Molitgfilhefji Martin's History of tin Britiqi Colonies, and gives a detailed and suk..einet sProtint of our possessions in the East Indies. The work has evidently heell &awn up with great care, and shows far more research than the generality of such compilations. It contains a striking engraving of Calcutta—that City of Palaces as it has been appropriately called—and a map of India on a very comprehensive settle. LARDNEit'S CYCLOP/EDIA. No. xav, Longman, London, 1637. We know of no Cyclopedia in the present day that has such strong claims on the public attention as this. It discusses almost every valuable department of science and learning ; is familiar and lucid in its style ; and among its frequent contributors are to be found the most eminent authors of the age. Its histories, in particular, are admirable for the clear and compact way in which the information is given ; and their temperate and impartial characters. The present volume consists of a Treatise on Domestic Economy, and is the production of Mr. Donovan—a gentleman every way qualified to deal with such a subject. The third chapter of this elaborate treatise which is an " account of animals used as food by the various nations of the world," is full of the most singular, interesting, and in many instances, novel facts. RIDDLE'S DICTIONARY. Longman, London, 1837. An abridgment of the " Complete Latin-English Dictionary" was a work much wanted ; and here ac cordingly we have one by the Rev. Mr. Riddle, who has executed a troublesome and unthankful task in a very satisfactory manner. The present volume, which is cheap and portable, is an admirable one for schools —especially for those who are about commencing the study of the Latin language. DON JUAN.—VoI. Murray, London, 1837. This is an elegant pocket volume, beautifully embel lished, and as beautifully printed. It contains the five first cantos of Byron's best poem, Don Juan, and will be completed in two volumes. STANDARD NOVELS, No. 59. Bentley, London, 1887. The Number before us of this entertaining Miscel lany contains the whole of Mr. James's best romance— as the author himself styles it—" Philip Augustus ;" and is embellished with two engravings, executed with great care by Greatbach. We are glad to learn that the Standard Novels are popular, for, in this line, it is the most amusing publication now in progress. OAKLEIGH ON SHOOTING. Ridgway, London, 1837. At the present season, when all London is " out of town" and field sports are all the rage, a work like the present, which is penned in a lively and amusing, style, will be sure to meet with favour from the spor ting public. It may, in fact, be called the Sports man's Vade Mecum, for it contains every necessary directions for him who is desirous to achieve success as a " shot." GUIDE TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1837. A serviceable elementary work, whose chief recom mendation is the simplicity of its details. FINE ARTS. RYALL'S PORTRAITS OF EMINENT CON SERY ATIVE STATESMEN.—No. V. _Fraser, London 1827. This splendid work improves considerably as it pro ceeds, the present Number being by many degrees the best of any that has yet appeared. The engravings, which are three in number, and consist of portraits of the Earl of klarrowhy, Sir Robert Fitzwygram, and Mr. Sergeant Jackson, are executed in the very first style, with a skill and elegance highly creditable to the artists. That of Lord Harrowby, in particular, may vie in excellence with any similar production of the day. It is also a capital likeness, though, we cannot help thinking, rather too juvenile for the original, who must now have attained that age to which the un pleasant epithet of " venerable" is uniformly applied. Sergeant Jackson is also a clever portrait, somewhat flattering to be sure, but this is a fault on the right aide. The literary portion of the work---that is to say, the Memoirs—is remarkable for its easy, graceful, flowing style ; there is no absurd attempt at undue panegyric ; but, on the contrary, a temperate and equable tone which, unfortunately, is not often to be met with in political biographies. The writer of these Memoirs is evidently a well-educated gentleman, perfectly conver sant with the subjects of which he treats. EMBOSSED PORTRAIT OF THE QUEEN. Summers and Smith, London, 1537. An excellent likeness of her Majesty Queen Vic toria, executed by Smith, from an original drawing, by Lane. The portrait is an embossed one, and is on a thick sheet of card paper, embellished with gold print ing. It has a truly elegant appearance. ENGRAVINGS FROM NEWTON'S WORKS. PART I.
