The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, the 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 finpst fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of inrniture, draperies, gold motiloing, tee. ; these are entirely obviatod by the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." 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-hones. hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners 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 li.iht, arc 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, 2Gth May, 1846, Sir JOIIN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal mwelty was the introduction 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 heaved, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and impinging with force on the flame or the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas. produced a very ri.rfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, Is as 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, anti 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."

The Chairman of the Anti-Corn-Law League having offi dailY announced that it is the intention of the Council strictly to adhere to the resolution of not interfering further with the registra tion of County Voters, but at the same time strongly recommending that an appeal slt,,uld be made to the Liberal and Free Trade party to mature and defend the claims of voters made through their ex ertions; arrangemPuts have been made for continuing the London County Registration Offi,s; and as funds will be required to defray the necessary expenses, it is hoped that all Liberals and Free Tra ders will aid the committee by a subscription to the fund. As it is found that all the votes obtained through the agency of the Anti- Corn-Law League are objected to, it is desirable that this appeal should be promptly responded to.

NOTICES Of 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 of 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 sAfely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded 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 he the means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and Jett louiles which sever the peace of families."

By an ob servance of the instructions kerein containe( the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we shonld 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, fer they tell of matters every living 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 own 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 winch is herein faithfully 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 lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and filially by the cultivation )f 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. _ .

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Columbine, 12, Commander Booth, sailed yesterday morning for the East India station. The America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon, is ordered into dock to refit immediately. Her first lieutenant, Mr. Agassiz, has been compelled to go to Haslar Hospital, from debilitated health. Mr. Colin Lindsay is now first lieutenant. The freight brought by this ship was got out an 4, all Loused in the South-Western Railway Company's calages on Friday night, and conveyed to London by Mr. Robertson, the freight agent, per special train, at half-past three o'clock yesterday morning. The treasure was all in the bullion-office of the Bank of England by six o'clock last night, and tallied off, much to the credit of the agent, who was complimented by the officers at the Bank on the fact of his freight being so speedily delivered at that office. Much credit is also due to the storekeeper of the Royal Clarence yard, where the freight was landed from the America, and also to the South-Western Railway officers at Gosport and Nine Elms, for the ready facilities they afforded in trans mitting the money. The North Star, 25, Captain Sir J. E. Home, Bait, arrived at Spithead on Friday night, from the East India station and the Cape of Good Hope, from which latter place, how ever, she brings no news. She left Ascension on the 6th of July, at which date the Actaeon, 26, Captain Mansel ; the Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander Hay ; the Hydra, steam-sloop, Commander Young ; and the Tortoise, store and guard ship, Commander Morrel, were at that island. The Prometheus, bound for Sierra, with Sir G. Jackson. Dysentery was raging considerably when the North Star left, and the hospital was fnll of sick. The Hydra was bound to the Gallinas. Mr. Pope, purser of the Actaeon ; Mr. Horatio Webb, of the Prometheus; Mr. James Singer, and Mr. Wil liam Purchase, of the Driver; Mr. George Roberts, of the Prometheus; and Mr. William Cockshot, of the Hydra, came home, on Admiralty leave, in the North Star, which is ordered to Chatham to be paid off, all standing. We learn by the North Star, Aim the Wasp, 16, Comman der Ussher, had made a brilliant 711, ture of a slaver pirate, prior to the 30th of June, off Congo. She was a remarkably fine brig, of about 400 tons, mounting sixteen brass guns, which he used with murderous effect against the Wasp's boats, the gallant fellows in which, however, succeeded in taking her, after two hours and a half hard fighting. The crew of the pirate were taken to St. Helena, together with the vessel, and there tried by a court martial, Captain Sir Everard Home, of the North Star, presiding. After an investigation of five days, the prisoners were found Not Guilty, and set at large. The vessel was, however, condemned. In the action, the Wasp lost two men, and had four wounded, and the slaver pirate had seventeen men killed. The Pilot, 16, Commander Wilson, arrived at Madras from Trincomalee, on the sth alt. The Dmd;lus, 20, Captain 111‘Quhae, sailed from Hong- Kong for Borneo on the 23d of June. The Athol troop- ship, Master-Commander,Pearn, sailed yesterday afternoon for Dundee, with three companies of the 74th Highlanders. From Dundee she proceeds to Leith, with three companies of the 87th Regiment, after which she returns to this port for some of the remaining companies of the 74th. The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, is again nearly ready for sea, and will embark on or about the Ist proximo, the head-quarters and three companies of the 74th High landers, for Aberdeen ; whence she will take the head-quar ters and three companies of the 78th Regiment to Leith, and then return to this port. The Belleisle, 22, Captain Kingcome, arrived at Halifax from Quebec on the 31st of July. with the 89th Regiment and part of the 14th on board. She was to return to Quebec on the 4th instant with the 60th Rifles, and would then bring from Canada the remainder of the 14th; after which she would carry the 77th from Halifax to Quebec, thence re turning to this port with invalids and stores. The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, was off Cape Marvel, on the coast of Africa, on the 15th of June, on which day one of her boats left the ship for the purpose of fishing off the mouth of a river near the ahove place, but which accidentally got on the " bar," and was capsized, by which four of the individuals in her at the time were drowned,—the surgeon (Mr. Hopley), boatswain (Mr. Smith), a seaman gunner (Jones), and a marine (Morley). The rest got safe ashore. The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master Commander Aylen, arrived at Kingstown (Dublin), on Tuesday last, with troops, comprising five companies of the 68th Light Infantry, from Liverpool, and left on the following day for Whitehaven, with six companies of the 13th Re giment. The Dee steam-transport, Master-Commander Driver, em barked on Wednesday, at Liverpool, four companies of the 30th Regiment for IN' hitehaven. The Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, sailed from the Mauritius, on the 13th of June, for the Cape of Good Hope. The Encounter screw steam-sloop, built on the design of Mr. J. Fincharn, the master shipwright of this dockyard, is ordered to be launched at Pembroke on the sth proximo. Jury rig will be forwarded from Devonport, whence she will be navigated to the Thames, to receive her engines of 360-horse power, manufactured by Penn and Son, of Greenwich. - The Raven cutter, Lieutenant-Commander Stephen, ar rived yesterday from the eastward, with supernumeraries, and returned to Sheerneis this morning. A new armament is ordered to be mounted on the batteries and other fortifications of this port and its dependencies, com prising 330 guns, chiefly of heavy calibre. The Brilliant, 22. Captain Watson, and the Dido, 18, Cap tain Maxwell, sailed from Cove on Wednesday last; the former for the Cape of Good Hope, to join Rear-Admiral Dacre's squadron, and the latter for the River Plate, to join Rear-Admiral Inglefield. Each takes supernumeraries, prin cipally boys, for the respective squadrons. The Acheron steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Aplin. arrived last evening from the Mediterranean, where she has been employed during the period of her commission in mail service. Her dates are Malta, August 3; Algiers, August 6; Gibraltar and Tangiers, August 13; and Lisbon,' August 16. She left the squadron of evolution at Lisbon, under the com mend of Vice• Admiral Sir W. Parker, who was on the eve of returning to Malta, when the squadron would return to Cork. The Acheron came into harbour this morning to re plenish coal, prior to going to the eastward to dismantle and be paid off. DISTRIBUTION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN AND WEST INDIA SQUADRON.

Maitland, arrived from Bermuda and England on the 7th inst. She arrived from Bermuda on theist ult., sailed thence on t`►e 14th, nd looked in at Antigua on the 30tb, arriving here in teven days from the latter island. _ _ _ The Daring, 12, Commander Matson, arrived on the 19th instant, in ten days, from the Havannah. Accounts brought by her announce the important. fact, that the inhabitants of Upper California had pronounced themselves independent of the republic of Mexico, and placed themselves under the protection of the . United States. The Daring had captured a vessel off Cuba, titted'for the conveyance of slaves, which she had conveyed to the Havannah to be condemned. The decision of the Mixed Court of Commission was, however, unfavourable to the legality of the capture, and the vessel, we learn, was accordingly set free. The Pickle schooner, Lieutenant Bernard, arrived from a short cruize on the 7th inst., and remains in harbour. This small craft is the only effective vessel we have at. present to protect the whole of our West India Islands. Surely this ought not to be. The Electra, 18, and the Daring, 12, sailed on the 21st inst., for Vera Cruz, but are to look in at Belize and the Mos queto shore on their way thither. A large American frigate under all sail, steering for the west, was seen on the 15th instant, from the east end of this island.

The general meeting of this Company took place yester day, at the offices of the Company, Mr. A. Wilkinson in the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report, which w unanimously adopted : "The amalgagvition of the late Brighton and Croydon Companies being now completed, and a report having been already made to you in your new character as proprietors in the London, Brighton, and South Coast o=- p:thy, your late directors have merely to remark that, at the close of your existence as a separate company, your affairs are in a more flourishing condition than they have ever yet been. - "The short traffic on your line has steadily and rapidly in creased. During the present session of Parliament, the Direct Portsmouth line which has been a source of so much anxiety to your directors, and is expected to be a source of so much profit to your line, has received the sanction of the Legislature. The short coal and goods line to Dept ford, which was alluded to in the last report, has likeaiae passed successfully through Parliament; and, although you have not obtained your Bill for a line to Tonbri4e and Maidstone, you have succeeded in defeating the schemes of the South-Eastern Company, which would have diverted the traffic of Kent from the Croydon line; and you have again successfully resisted the attempt of the South ,' Western Company to obtain another line to Epsom. " The atmospheric system, although it has not been free from those difficulties which usually attend the first intro duction of all inventions, is satisfactorily progressing, and there is every reason to believe that it will fully realise the expectations which have been entertained of its ultimate success. "The working expenses of the last fire months are neces sarily very great, on account of the mixing of the two systems of traction, each having cost almost as much as if the other had not been employed; but the receipts from passenger traffic for the five months of the present half-year have exceeded those of the six months of the corresponding halt-year, although the best month (that of July) is omitted, the accounts haying been closed a month earlier than usual, for the sake of uniformity with those of the late Brighton Company—some of the payments, however, being necessarily referable to the whole six months. The accounts thus presented show a disposable balance (including the profit of 2,130/. 11s. Bd. derived from the sale of third shares) of 17,6001. 15s. 3d., out of which your directors recommend a dividend to be paid of 7s. 6d. per share. A vote of the proprietors will be taken as to the disposal of the sum remaining after the payment of this dividend. "The directors cannot close this report without recommend ing to the favourable consideration of the proprietors some acknowledgment of the valuable services of Mr. Young, so long and so zealously rendered in the office of Secretary to this Company." The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend of 7s. 6d. per share be paid to the shareholders out of the divisable fund, now in the hands of the directors. The resolution was seconded by Mr. BARNES, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a testimonial should be presented to Mr. Young for his valuable services, and that a subscription should be entered upon for that purpose, and that the directors be empowered to pay over the balance of 1,1881. 9s. 3d., which will remain after the payment of the dividend in aid of such fund. Mr. SLERRY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

In the early part of the week, and indeed until yesterday morning, prices were lower, and an absence of all spirit of speculation for advance was noted ; at the second meeting, however, some improvement was visible, and prices closed generally higher. This has been the case again to-day, and a better tone prevails. Brightons are lower, as the raising of fresh capital and amalgamating the Direct Portsmouth, is not looked upon favourably.

DEATH OF THE MARQUIS OF THOMOND.—We regret to have to record the decease of the Marquis of Thomond, who expired on Friday last, at Taplow House, near Maiden head, after an illness of only ten days. The deceased William O'Bryen, Marquis of Thomond, Earl and Baron of Inchiquin, and Baron of Barren, county Clare, in the peerage of Ireland ; and Baron Tadcaster, of Tadcaster, county York, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was son of Mr. Edward O'Bryen, brother of the first Marquis, by Mary, daughter of Mr. Carrick. He was born in the year 1766, and was consequently in his 80th year. The late Marquis married, in September, 1799, Elizabeth Re becca, only daughter and heir of Mr. Thomas Trotter, of Dulek, county Meath, who survives her husband. The late Marquis entered the army at a comparatively early age, and was in the 12th Regiment of Foot, at the capture of Guadaloupe and St.. Lucie, and subsequently proceeded to the East Indies with that regiment in active service. He eventually exchanged from the infantry to the 14th Dragoons, but retired from the army. in 1800. On the death of his uncle, the first Marquis, in February, 1808, he succeeded to the family honours and estates in the county of Cork. The deceased nobleman was, with the exception of the King of Hanover, the senior knight of the most illustrious order of St. Patrick; was a privy coun cillor for Ireland since 1828, colonel of the Cork City Militia, extra aide-de-camp to the Queen, and his late Majesty William IV., and a representative peer for Ire land since 1816. In default of male issue, the late Marquis is succeeded in his title by his brother, Vice-Admiral Lord James O'Bryen, G.C.H. (now Marquis of Thomond). Lady Susan, married to the Hon. Captain, George F. Hotham, R.N. ; Lady Sarah, married to Mr. William Stanhope Taylor ; Lady Mary, married to Viscount Berehaven ; and Lady Eliza beth, married to Mr. George Stukeley Bucke, are daughters of the late Marquis. He possessed valuable property in Ire land, but had not for many . years past visited that country. He was a staunch Conservative, but, from his advanced age, hid not lately interfered in politics. By his Lordship's de mise a vacant ribbon of the order of St. Patrick falls into the Gift of the Premier. [ADVERTISE]IENT.]—THE DREADNOUGHT HOSPITAL SHIP AND ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL AGAIN OUTDONE IN THE Cuss or WOUNDS AND ULCERS :BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.— John Newington, a sailor, living in Adrian -court, Dover, was a patient on board the Dreadnought, and again at St. Thomas's Hos pital, for some weeks, for a very had ulcerated leg of long standing, without obtaining the least relief at either of the above Institutions, but was cured immediately attemards by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.

COBDEN AND THE FREE TRADERS IN FRANCE. (From the Times) It is not the least pleasing part of the honours which have attended Mr?. Gluten'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 member of the English Legislature. but as the active promoter of principles which are destined to confer their neficest results upon every civilised community in the world. Few men who have been so ardently engaged in a treat party contest have suffered so little as Mr. Cobden has done from the narrowing ell; eta of all such centro versy. On the contrary, his conceptions seem gradually to have enlarged as the object of his exertions drew nearer to his grasp. The visvrs which he originally adopted as a Manchester manufacturer, for the espe ial advantage of that class of the population of Eneland with which he was himself connected, ra pidly expanded, until they embraced the general vi el fare of this ceuntry in the cause of free trade ; and no sooner had they received the sanction of England thin the truth and wisdom of these principles en ured 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 su long been a ground of contention between agriculture and inanufectures, 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 is age 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 arid 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 sufleis far more than it gains by the protective system, although that same sys t.em excludes th e nec essar y su ppl y o f li ve - stoc k , an d 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 ?thruster 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 vaht and prepon derating national interest, with nothing to fear, arid 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 must 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 ranch 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 Chamb,r of Deputies is protec tionist—even more so than the Chamber of Peers, %%here men like the Duc D'Hercourt, M. Anisson Duper ron, and M. Rossi have taken a leading part in favour of tree-trade. And until the great mass of the consum ers 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 seriesuf bold and effectual comtner cial reforms. Mr. Cobden'a 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, es 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 oursels es have lingered so long, yet the conviction with which we look forward to the ultimate practical terminstion of these discussions, falls in no degree' short of absolute moral certainty. It will deserve to be no tics d by those who may hereafter investigate and describe the phenomena of our age, that the English, who are rightly Is garded es a practical rather than a speculative or theorizing people, have, neveriheleee, 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, anti the utmost reluctance to try innova tions not folly 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 slaves, 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 tt 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 he, if the aristocracy did not sometimes reside a little while at their seats. Hence the blessing of game 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 distinguished, 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 parts 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 gratitude. For the first time in 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 whoso 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 au aristocracy, foregoing all the advantages 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 need of suppressions 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 been pronounced 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 good men must combine." The first step in a different direction was that 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 the/ had been in the arena of popular agi- tatior,. Ppei, pith no patty, carried his point in the presence of all parties. Relinquishing office in the hour of sictory, he took his second step in the no-party direc tion. lie made that memorable declaration of Irish policy. The House lard with amazement the lan guage of political equality and universal justice..--n Wag again felt that the Minister had become - titian. 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 P eers are p ut i t over them '2 ,' to take the credit and the money; and where great prin ciples and needful reforms areconcerned, what has party ever done but impair and compromise them? The his tory of party in power is the history of compromises ; its history nut 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 cards 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 leadee. 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 pai tial 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. Lo king 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 dolours. 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, b u t f or h sme consumption; e., for the few in robes, while the many have only Talent in Parliament is an impertinence, unless i r t a t r e subservient. They are feudalism without its superior enterprise, and aristocracy without its superior vehe ment. For them to rule, would be more d.iskraeeful than the Norman Conquest. Peel has felled them to the earth. It only remains fur 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 piny, and cannot join to extinguish party. They follow Sir Robert Peel on the corn laws, to their little utmost ; always keeping rather in thc.,. rear. They helped to turn him nut 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. • • 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 far the peo ple to teach, and to command them. If Sir Robert Peel have no party to realise his polioy, it is for the people to make him one for the oceaeion. 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 tur own fault should that power go hack to an olie garchy. Sir Robert Peel, at present, is the great repree sentative of the British nation. He can only remain so by the action of public opinion, telling Lord John 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. Strt,—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 meta 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 cccupied 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. Sorely-, 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 di graceful 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 ts 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 in..l %Va!es 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 hare commenced in 9,623 tithe districts; of these notices 29 were received during the year 184.5. 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 jilted, 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 (luring 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 10,947 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 remain■ 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. BLAMER, R. JONES. To the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, Bart., &c., Home Office.
