As we stated on Saturday, the returns for the quarter are rather favourable, the increase, as compared to the corresponding quarter of last year, being 241,7211. That sum is also very nearly the increase on the whole year, 0 48,1481., and is, we believe, in a great measure, due to the influence of the general election. The principal increase on the quarter is in , the Excise, 244,6171. While the Customs exhibit a deficiency in the year of no less than 667,5221., there is an increase on the quarter of 74,340/. Upwards of 2,000,000 quarters of g rain and flour have paid duty this quart er , and sup posing that they all came in at the ls. duty, which is not the case, that would give for the present quarter 100,000/., more than enough to account for this, we are afraid, temporary and small spirt 'of extended trade. Remembering the increase of taxation which was laid on last year, and which has been in operation the whole o f the present year, and remembering the in ereas e of the revenue caused by a general election, returns indicate rather dec a y than prosperity. The LORD MAYOR, Alderman of Portsoken Ward, gave a grand entertainment on Satur day, to her MAJESTY'S Ministers, and they flew like famished vultures to the banquet. It was a subject of marked comment, it appears, that t h e r e were ten, out of the fourteen, present. The only matter of surpris e , h owever, is, that th e y were not all present, with t h e exception of the Duke of WELLINGTON, who had been , tent for by her M A JESTY. They have had only one dinner of t hi s sort for the last e l even years. On that occasion, Sir ROBERT PE-EL, then, as now, Prime Minister, was tottering on his seat, looking upon every successive day as the last of his official existence, and therefore not at all in a fit condition to enjoy the good things of this life. The last invitation previous to ]835 was in 1830, but that they durst not accept. The KING and his Ministers were alarmed at the signs of the times, and a polite note was therefore, sent to the LORD MAYOR declining the honour. No wonder, therefore, that the joy on this occa sion was excessive, and that the speakers should have exceeded the bounds of discretion. The LORD MAYOR certainly was a most egregious offender in proclaiming that he was a Tory, and wishing that the Tories might long remain in power. He administers justice— and a judge ought to be impartial--but what im partiality can be expected from a man who has the indiscretion to boast that his party had pre vailed? The remarks of. the other, speakers were nearly of, the ,sage stamp. political dinner, mlt was,. in f ac t, a: r..MASTER,MAN congratulated, himself on,b eit. one of the "'glorious majority of 91" who turned out the Queen's Ministers ; and Sir CLAI:Dius celebrated only for his white charger, peas quite pathetic in describ ing the unexpected themselve s safe The Corporation, no doubt,: think now.

Mi n i- I re v a.epee of distress sortie ofqiie prin .. cipal manufacturing districts, while they had done nothing when in opposition to relieve it, had [ convicted themselves of being either political charlatans or political rogues, we did not put the case against them as strongly as ,we might have put it. Not only did they do nothing when in opposition to relieve that distress, but they refused to listen to the plans proposed by the late Mi nisters to relieve it. Thinking of nothing but how to thrust themselves into office, they threw out the first part of the late Ministers' budget upon a pretext wholly foreign either to the con dition of our people or the state of the revenue. They rejected the proposed alteration in the sugar duties, because that might perchance injure the fat, sleek, and well-fed labourers of Jamaica. The reduction in the sugar duties, combined with the other measures proposed by the Whigs, were calculated, they said, to re lieve the public distress ; and the Tories, by refusing to discuss them in Parliament, made themselves fearfully responsible for all the distress which they now acknowledge has pre vailed for a considerable period in some of the principal manufacturing districts. We do not belong to that school which ex pects much from legislation. We agree with Lord STANLEY and the Duke of WELLINGTON, that it is impotent to extinguish poverty and annihilate distress; but, though it be impotent to effect good, it does not, therefore, follow that it is impotent to cause these evils. We agree with a writer in the Leeds Times, who gives a frightful picture of the poverty and distress ex isting in that town, which will be. found in an other part of The Sun, that there are no natural causes for the present sad condition of our peo ple, and that their sufferings are the fruit of legislation, which, though impotent for good, is by no means powerless to do mischief. Whence, however, comes that mass of statutes, and how can the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord STANLEY defend and maintain them, which are directed against poverty, and intended to annihilate distress, if legislation be as they say, and as we believe, impotent to that end? So be lieving, we do not ask the Legislature to give food to the people ; we do not aik it to employ them ; we do not require it to ensure them good wages ; we are much more modest, we ask it only to let them alone, to allow them to feed and find em ployment for themselves, unrestricted and unfet tered by ignorant and mischievous laws, and then they must be contented with such wages as competition amongst themselves and amongst the capitalists would give. It is quite impossible, however, to look at the present condition of society, and know that every branch of industry is fettered by noxious regulations, without con cluding that the Legislature is, before GOD and man, seriously and solemnly responsible, and particularly the Tory legislators who rejected the budget, for that distress which has prevailed and is prevailing. They have even postponed all inquiry into it, and all means of relieving it for at least some months, and have thereby proved themselves the most heartless, cruel politicians that ever governed the country. Yet these are the men whom the Spectator praises, and whom Mr. WAKLLY proposes to give a fair trial to. The people are solemnly admonished, in a book which the Tories pretend to reverence, to curse those who withhold food from them, and the people will probably curse those cruel Ministers, who, acknowledging their distress, continue to withhold food from them. We are aware that the conduct of the Tories finds some countenance in the conduct of the Whigs. In fact, statesmen are judged by con trast and comparison, and the sole wis dom of the Tories is found in ti. a follies of the Whigs. It is clear from the re. urns, we have quoted of the health of different places that the lower classes suffered more from disease, arid the mortality was greater amongst them in 1838, 1839, 1840, than in 1841. During these terrible years, however, when the people had yet energy enough to try and help themselves-1 when their sufferings were manifested by great meetings and intense excitement—the people, feeling great pain, but being ignorant of the means of helping themselves—during these ter rible years the Whigs refused, and by the aid of the Tories were enabled successfully to refuse, all alteration, and even all inquiry, into the Corn laws, which were called for generally by the Liberal party. They were then as deaf to the voice of distress as the Tories now are, and it was only when that distress begun to affect the revenue, after it had nearly done its work on the people, thinning their numbers, destroying their spirit, and ren dering them incapable of paying the increased taxes demanded of them—it was only in 1841, after the people had been for three years a prey to great sufferings, that the Whigs proposed their Budget. Even then they based it on wrong principles. To give relief to the people was its secondary object; to increase the revenue was its principal care. To do justice to the people did,not enter into their hearts, and the people left them a prey to their rivals, the Tories. They could take no interest in a measure which appeared to them, by increasing the revenue, to increase their burthens. The conduct of the late Ministers, who refused to give relief in 1838, 1839, and 1840, and pro posed measures in 1841, of which relief to the people was the secondary object, is the only ap parent justification we can find for the still worse conduct of their successors. But Whig faults will not excuse Tory crimes, and as the late Minis ters became thoroughly unpopular, the present men will soon be thoroughly hated and bitterly cursed. While we are reminding our friends of their serious faults, we must remind the mill-owners and other capitalists of the North that IR ig3B 7 1839, and 1840, before they were bumbled by their losses, and before they saw their property melting away as at present, they took an active part against the people, and called even for more coercion , than the Whig Ministers were willing to gratify them, by employing. They acted then on the true Tory principle of hating and fearing tb,: people. They were then the best allies of the Tories and the Corn-laws. Now the Tories read them lessons on cruelty, reproaching them with their avarice and hard-hearted ness, stigmatizing them as the oppressors of the people, and even invoking destruction on their abodes and factories. England, the Tory Journals have told us, would be no worse were half the manufacturing towns destroyed. Every day almost the mill-owners are. edvitu perat by the Tory Journalists, - who may p them e ob m a b n l oy relief, fo l l r formed somethinge by y in t th o lt rr a uo t , and rkyer i landlords et retributive o t t i h v e e t justice sgt deter minationgive e e for their conduct towards the working classes.in the years we have mentioned. W e are well aware that they were aided and • encouraged by some portions of the Liberal and respectable Press, but we differed at the time froni our brethren, and the present powerless condition of the manufacturing classes, from the prevailin.• conflicts between the represented and the u.l - have served to convince us of the soundness of our views, and of the impolicy of the course which the Whig Journals, the Whig Ministers, and the manufacturing capitalists pur sued towards the working classes in the years 1838 and 1839. We received last night Belgian and Dutch papers of the Bth and 9th instant. The debates in the Budget in the Dutch Parliament are carried on with great spirit. A great number of the Members are for retrenchment and a dif ferent scale of taxation, in order that the present heavy burdens may press more lightly on the lower and middle classes, and that the more wealthy may be compelled to contribute their full share for the expenses of the Government ; but the Tory party have been victorious, and a number of grants have beeavoted by consider able majorities. Another trial of strength, hoW ever, is evidently approaching.. The revellue is not sufficient, taxation is heavy, and some scheme, therefore, must be adopted to provide more effectually for the expenses of the Govern ment and the interest of the enormous debt. The mercantile community of Luxembourg are greatly dissatisfied with the King for refusing to rectify the treaty with Prussia. A numerous meeting of manufacturers was held on the Ist inst. to petition the King on the subject, and a permanent Committee appointed to take such . measures as they might judge - expedient for th e interests of trade and commerce. A letter, sigued JAMES ACLAND, in another part of The Sun, states, amongst other things— There is in Tamworth a Grammar School, founded by Sir Robert's father, for the gratuitous edu ca tio n o f th e children of the inhabitants so long as a Peel shall re present the borough ; and I am credibly informed that the *master (Savage by name, and, as it should seem, servile by nature), informed the boys a few days since that be had received a letter from the Prime Minister, ordering him to discharge the children of all those who had signed the petition ! The way being thus prepared, the Relieving Officer and his colleagues went round to the parents of the children to " inquire " if they had signed that important document. And the public may believe that some disclaimers were the consequence. Can this be true? We quote it to provoke a contradiction if it be not. We give no opinion on any part of the paragraph, though the whole of it is worthy of observation, till we arc assured by the silence of the Ministerial journals that it is true, or learn by their explanations and denials that it is false. • We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday, with full details of the insurrection in Spain, which we have given in another part of Th e S un . The cloudy state of the atmosphere prevented the French Govern ment from receiving the following despatches before the afternoon of Friday :-- " BAYONNE, OCT. 7. " THE GENERRAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. " On the sth O'Donnell, having been reinforced by a battalion, summoned the town. Ribeiro refused ; the citadel opened ita fire. We heard the cannonade during the night. "Tiie brigade of Concha, at Trafalla, declared for Espartero." " BAYONNE, OCT. 7. " THE SOUS-PREFET TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the morning of the sth Bilboa declared in favour of Queen Christina. The inhabitants, the National Guard, and the whole garrison of 1,503 men, unani mously pronounced thems e l ves . S anta Cruz, the ' Com mandant of the province, alone dissented." " BAYONNE, OCT. 8. " THE SOUS-PREFET TO T,HE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " General Alcaia has fallen back from Tolosa to Ber gara. It is believed he returns to San Sebastian. Every thing was quiet at Madrid on the morning of the 4th. The movement spreads in Biscay and Alava.. No one has any doubt that LOUIS-PHILIPPE is at the bottom of this insurrection in favour of the ex-Regent CHRISTINA, in whose name all General O'DONNELL'S proclamations are issued, and whose signature they bear. This infamous woman has leagued herself with the discontented clergy, of whose alleged rights she proclaims herself the de fender. It is said that negotiations have been for some time carried on between herself and Don CARLOS, and that she is quite willing to be stow the hand of the young Queen upon the eldest son of the Pretender, provided he consent to wed her as Queen ) himself bear ing the title of Prince of the AusttAiass To this Don CARLOS will .not consent. Ile wants the QUEEN to become queen in right of mar riage with his son, in whose favour he is willing to abdicate his pretensions to the sovereignty. We suppose that this deli cate question will be left to the arbitration of the King of the FRENCH, for it does not appear that it is so much as suggested that Great Britain has any concern at all about the matter. --- - "IA short time ago," says a letter from Alencon ) " some wretches entered the house of a person named Gaine, at Beru, near Alencon, by the roof, and having beaten him with sticks, and stabbed him with a knife, strangled him by a rope, and placing the dead body in a bed, which they surrounded with wood and tow,'set fire to the bed. As soon as the fire was perceived, the neighbours rushed to the spot, and succeeded in extin guishing it before the house was more than partially burnt. A great portion of the body of the muttlered man, however, had been consumed. On the following day several persons were arrested on suspicion. of being the murderers, and amongst them was a, man named Dran, who, it is said, had purchased tie reversion of some property belonging to Gaine, and had attempted to cut down some wood upon it t G but had been opp ose d b y Gaine. The murder e d ',an had the reputation amongst of being a sorcerer , an d i t appears lentthe country mon e.at pe r7 people Usurious rate of interest." Mr. Buler has left Paris for London. The Hon. H. Howati, ' Second Secretary of Legation, conducts the business of the embassy in his absence. Mr. Bulwer is expected to return in a few days. M. Thomas, Chef du Perssnnel in the office of the Minister of Finance, is appointed Paymaster-General of the Treasury, in the room of M. Delafontaine, deceased, Our Madrid Correspondent writes, on the Ist instant, that Sir H. Aston had received his letters of recal from London. The Madrid Gazette publishes an order from the Political Chief of the capital, prescribing certain formalities to be observed in the transfers of Stock on the Madrid Stock Exchange, in. order to hinder stock brokers from speculating on their own behalf in opera tions for account ; and also another order for hindering Stock transactions from being carried on anywhere but on the Exchange. The President of the Civil. Tribunal of Toulon, M. Reymonencq, was thrown out of his carriage, a few days since, near that town, and the wheel passing over him crushed his legs and both feet in so dreadful a manner that, after lingering 48 hours, he died in great suffering. The tribunal of Correctional Police of Macon has sen tenced to various periods of imprisonment, from three days to six months, twenty more persons, amongst whom were four women, for the recent riot at that place. The Progres tie Pas-de-Calais announces that Baron de Coetdihuel, Government agent for purchasing horses for the army, has, upon a commission from the Minister of Commerce, purchased in England for the French Go vernment the fine stallion Physician, at the high price of 60,3751. The Government has also bought of Lord H. Seymour his stallions Oak-stick and Chip of the Old Block, at 9,000 f. each. The Moniteur publishes It Royal ordonnance of 3d inst., preceded by a report from tlie Minister of Public Instruction, according to which no one can attain the degree of doctor of inedicine in any of the Medical Faculties witho-,-.1 - having followed a year at least the service of 7..11 hospital either as an extern, or as a simple Inedic::i - pupil. Other minor regulations connected with ',ills order are contained in the same document. Some sailors were a few days ago at work in the paddle. boxes of the steam-frigate the Lavoisier, lying at Paimbeeuf, when the wheels turned and broke the thigh of ono of them to dreadfully that he died soon afterwards in the hospital. Six others were thrown into the water. Two were drowned, and four were saved by boats which put off immediately from the shore. Saint Etienne was visited on the 2d instant by a vio lent storm, which inundated the town and terrified the inhabitants; but we do not learn that any damage of im portance was done, At Saint Genest Lerpt, however, a 1 journeymzn ribbon-weaver was killed at his loom by the lightning, and a farm at Moutchal was struck, and had its barn and other buildings set on fire and three cows killed. The railroads of the Loire and the Rhone were stopped for a time by the earth brought down upon them by the torrents. The body of a drowned man was found in the meadows, where it had been thrown by the cur rent of the Giers. The flooding of the Rhone having inundated the lower parts of the town of Gilboa's, the in habitants dreading a renewal of the disasters of last year, removed their goods in all haste to the upper town, where they themselves took refuge. The railroad is co vered in several places by the waters. M. Raymond Coste, responsible editor of the Temps, has surrendered himself to prison in execution of the late judgment against him for violating, the la ws o f t h e p ress . Among the trees on the south side of the Tuileries Garden is now to be seen a chestnut -tree in blossom, as if it were spring. _ . The quantity of ices consumed annually at the re staurants, coffee-houses, and confectioners of Paris, is calculated at 8,000,000 kilogrammes (16,000,0001b5. English), and the estimated value about 600,000 francs. The Rhone, a Lyons journal, says that the number of persons arrested there is nine, and that they are accused of belonging to a secret association, holding its sittings at uncertain places and periods. " This society," it adds, " was called the Charbomierie Reformee. Loaded arms, proclamations, and other convicting evidence, were found at the place of their last meeting, and leave no doubt of the criminal views of the members." The Infante Don Francisco de Paula, as is announced by the Moniteur . Parisien, took his departure from Bor deaux for Spain on Wednesday. • Quoting its correspondence with Bayonne, the Moni ten, Parisien says, that on the .4th inst. Gen. Piquerro supported the movement of O'Donnell, by proclaiming the Regency of Queen Christina at Vittoria, and the maintenance of the Fueros. This journal adds that a squadron of horse at Bergara had joined the insurrec tion, an d t h at Ge-lerie Alcala had in c onsequence marched th ere with two battalions. During th e l ast month, the first since the opening o f the wh o l e l ength of the road between Strasburgh and Bale, the number of passengers has, amounted to 93,265, and the receipts to 216,000 f. Our Madrid correspondent writes on the 30th ult. that it is now considered doubtful whether M. Onis will ac eept the post of Ambassador to the Court of St..James's. In case of his not having taken the office, it Would pro-. bably be offered; it Was said, to 21. M ar li an i. A letter from Alexander of the 26th ult., in the Sud of Marseilles, states that Mehemet Ali has acceded 'to the . . proposition of the East India. Company for the transit of !merchand e • acroEs th e i st h mus of Suez, on is payment on : per cent. duty,. and that all that remains to be done is to fix the line .which goods and- caravans are to take. It was supposed that this would produce the Pacha an annual revenue of 500,000 ,talarts. M.

It is de sired that I should make this news knoqn to all our friends, and I hasten to communicate thein to you, begging to publish my lette,r, t -Aecept, ".The Marquis . de PASTORET." —La Gazette de France. It is said that the partizans of . the Qucen Christina's Regency have plenty of money, and that they have long since been endeavouring to influence the_ army against Espartero,.but w•e must lover judge. except on positive data. The Pharr des Pyrennes of the 6th, says that Gene rals Jauregui (El rastor ) , Urbistendi, and Iturbide, have declared in favour of Christina. The Memorial de Pau, says it was General Espi nosa who aided O'Donnell in his enterprise, and Diego Leon will probably declare in favour of it. 'The Memorial Boidelais of the 7th, has the following letter • from the frontiers :—" The troops cantoned in the sillage, in the extreme Spanish frontiers, Urdax and Zugarsamurdi, left on the 3d at eight o'clock for Elisonde; it is not known what• they intend to do, but everything indicates a new war in that unhappy country." —Le Commerce.

They are as much superior, we are told, to the Whigs in office for finding: out what is right, as light is superior to darkness. Report-says that their first act. does not cor respond to their boasting..l Iris stated in the City that there is such a' discrepancy bet Ween the late notice for a loan, and funding Exchequer Bills, issued by that sterling old red tapist,,Mr. Goulburn, and the Act of Par liament for carrying that noticeinto effect, that the Act will most probably be suspended by an order in Council. By the notice interest was .to be allowed on Exchequer Bills only.till the 27th of September, on which statement the loan was made ; by the Acrthat interest is continued till the same date. in November, giving the subscribers two months more interest than they contracted to receive. Such, according to report, is the bungling of the Tory Mr. Goulburn and his Tory helps: • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET.—(SUNDAY NIGHT.)

One of the crew of the boat was 'saved, by cutting a hole in the bot tom, after being one hour and a half under the boat. Had he not cug.tho hele he must have been suffocated, if not drowned." WINDSOR, SUNDAY NIGHT.—Her Majesty, who until that time had been in, the enjoyment of her usual health, felt somewhat unwell last •evening, and in the course of the night was so much indisposed that it was considered necessary to require the presence of both Dr. Locock and Sir J. Clarke. They, were, of course, im tnifliately in attendance, and the former has not left the. Castle since. This morning her Majesty was much better; but although she h a d expressed au intent i on of remaining for a few days l onger at Windsor, orders were issued for the Royal Hou se h o l d to prepare everything necess a ry for her Majesty's reception at Buckingham Palace to morrow (this day). C ons id era bl e bustle, as may be supposed, was occasioned 'by this sudden determination, but at a late hou r . t hi s ' evening, the former orders have been ceunterm an d e d: In ordinary t i mes this would have excited n o attention, but at, t i period when an event upon which th e f eel i ngs of tho.nation are so d eeply excited may be a l most hourly expected, every move ment in the Castle is regarded with the utmost anxiety. The General Steam Navigation Coinltany's pecket,.the ColuMbine, W. Nor Wood, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom=house at tell o'clock, A. 31., yester day, with the Datch.mail. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vttiqtc Otnion. " Who runs may read." POIZZIGN. The insurrection in Spain is assuming a very serious aspect. By the accounts from the north of Spain re ceived in Paris on Saturdety, - it appears that Villa Franca, Atun, Vittoria, Santona, and Bilboa, have all declared in .favour of General O'Donnell, who still remained in the citadel of Pampeluna. San Sebastian is now the only town of military importance in the Basques that adheres to the Regency of Espartero. As O'Donnell has reared the standard of the rope in conjunction with that of Maria Christina, he will find plenty of partisans among the clergy. Generals Jimeguy . ' (El Pastor), Urbistende, and Itur bide, are reported to hare declared for Christina. In the meantime the partisans of the Ex-Regent in Paris are beside themselves with joy. They assert that a speedy movement of their friends in Valencia, Barcelona, Se ville, Malaga, a n d ev e n Mad r id, n i a y b e hourly expected. The whole of the opposition press of Paris are unani mous in declaring the King to be .at the bottom of the insurrection in Spain. They are 'right. It is by the machinations of Louis Philippe that the fields of Spain are again about to be saturated with the blood of her brave but misguided people. Hints are thrown out of a probable invasion of Spain by France. What will the British Government say to this ? We have accounts of another insurrectionary move ment in Mexico. That country will share the fate of anciext Media, as related by Herodotus, which, from being the ruler of Persia, came at last to be governed by it. In like manner Mexico, which gave laws to Texas, is doomed to become, sooner or later, a province of the New Republic. The elements of national disso lution are concentrated in the • very heart of Mexican society. PUMLIC OPINION. The Penny favour with the Morning Herald, which, accordingly, advocates an in crease of the rate:—" For our own parts we honestly confess a desire that a return should be made, not to the old rates of postage, but to such a rate as, while it would not check correspondence, would improve the revenue; it being evident that a much higher rate than the pre sent would not restrict written intercourse, would be cheerfully .borne by the public, and would he most bene ficial to the Treasury. The Penny Postage.is an incon testable example of the danger of adopting the wise saws of political economy in all their ultimate simplicity; yet, during the Parliamentary discussions on this sub , ject, Mr. Rowland Hill constantly vociferated that his great discovery (!) would fiscally fail unless his penny . ' plasters were adopted."—An increase of the rate—not withstanding the _Herald's assertion to the contrary — would unquestionably have the effect of restricting " the written intercourse" of the working classes of society,. and so far, would be an obstacle thrown in the way of their intellectual improvement. Regarding the matter in this light, we should not be at all surprised` if the Tories ' were to attempt, an increase of the Postage rate, for what do they care about the interests of the labouring ' classes, so long as their own remain uninjured? , The Advertiser thus comments on the Duke of Wel lington's late strange declaration in the House of Lords ' respecting the distresses of the country There is plenty of food, he avows—no less than three million quarters of corn, in addition to the produce of our own harvest ; and yet, in his Grace's estimation—the man whose knowledge and wisdom, preside over the Cabinet, and mould its policy—in his Grace's estimation, Parlia ment ' could not relieve the distress ;' he has seen Parliament sit for many years, and distress always com plained of ; but he has never seen measures proposed which could create work '—the want of work, not the want of food, being, in his Grace's opinion, the cause of the prevailing distress. Let the sufferers take comfort from that ! They. bare been suffering for many years ; why should they Arow become impatient ? Habit, is said to be second nature ; and his Grace of Welling ton has therefore some' reeron for thinking that long habits of fasting should long since have reconciled the poor to the process of starvation."—lf the Tories could change places with the workine. classes, and be put upon a course of starvation for the next five months, they would be clamorous for an inves tigation into their case, long before that period had ex pired. They would not allow themselves to be put off— as they now put off the' destitute operatives—with a vague promise that their situation should be inquired into next February. It would be no satisfactory answer to than, that the amusements of their betters must be considered before thele own necessities. They would not rest contented with a smooth speech froni Sir Robert Peel, No they would boldly take the question' into their oWti Minds, for no one is so desperate anti deter ' mined as a Tory, when his personal interests are invaded. Witness his conduct on the Reform Bill, when he con vulsed the country frdm one extremity to the other, for the sole selfish purpose ofpfeeereing his pocket boroughs. The Chronicle is of opinion that f. 4. it Robert Peel will have some difficulty in satisfying the expec!ation:.which he has raised atriotig the people. We do na for the people expect little or nothing from him,.. and cannot therefore be disappointed to any very provoking extent. The following are our Contemporary's own words :—" That Sir Robert Teel will be able to satisfy the expectations which he has excited is very question able. He has to invent a scheme of protection which will satisfy the landed interest, and of enlargement and freedom of commerce to satisfy the industrious classes. He has to invent a scheme by which, without adding to the taxation, he is to augment the re ' sources of the country. He is not only to do what the Whigs proposed to effect, but he is also to do a great deal more. He is to mitigate the rigours of monopoly, without offending or alarming the mo nopolists ; he is to make a change in the Corn-law, and yet retain the support of the agricultu rists in trying to benefit the manufacturer; and, in ad , dition.to equalising the income and otpenditure of the country, he is to maintain the Poor-law, and yet Ittain the support of its opponents. The Duke of Richmond h 1 given Lit /mike a change in the Corn-law, provided he protects the agriculturist; but how fair play is-to be thine to the commercial and manufacturing inte rest, iii etinitiitetiert with the amount of protection which will satisfy - the Duke of Itielirtiond is, we fear, a pro blem which will'require a .PrOfounder mind than that of Sir Robert Peel's to solve."—A change in the Corn-lave that will satisfy the'.Duke of Richmond, and those who think with filar, 0,1 be .equivalent to no change at all. The Change, to be really valuable, must be exceedingly distasteful to the monopolists: . The. PitneA says=" The real misfortune Is, that the distfess which does exist, Mid which Is likely to increase, is of a.kind . whieh no lawahave created, and which no legislation can cure. This may be perceived from the feet, that etell4rifornied persons anticipate a speedy re moval of the Cloud which at present hangs over the mer chant ,and the mantifeettiter, without, however, at all ekpecting that the cOilditiciti of the labouring classes will be thereby improved. Trade, they say, seems likely to get better; the complaints of the master manufacturers may be expected to subside, but no such hope exists for the cotton-spinning operative ; he, and all connected with him, tlitist look for the fats which has long since overtaken the handlocnri weavers, and from the same cause."-31f,as our Contemporary states, " nolegielation can cure " the present distresses of the people, than the task of the Ministry is in one respect a sinecure, as indeed they seem strongly disposed to consider it" Ilhit for what, we ask, has Sir Robert Peel taken office, if not to ameliorate the condition of the people ? For what has he ititreated fire - months' clellberatlOn, If not to devise . some remedy for: the distresses, which all parties aehnow lodge to he get - 1004 ptefitlent iii the emititty ? Far what did he turn' out the late MiiiiStfyi if hot to legislate in a more efficient spirit, than he contended they could do 'it if We agree with the dictum of the Times, then we must come to the conclusion that ill dedeptin,s , office, no thing was further, from the Tory Prefiliere thoughts then to pro*lde a remedy for the distress of the' people, geeing that ito remedy . can possibly affect that distress, We quote the following from the nip. A troliti. cal petition comes up from Tamworth The Secie2l of State desired to know whether the signatares are ge nuine or fraudulent, arid sends down to inquire. Old faehioned honesty would have rejoiced at this, but Whig . Radical honesty Was exceedingly sore (not without same reason, as it appeared upon examination), anti cried out most lustily, Whig-Radicalism cannot bear that the ge• nuineness of its political doeturients should be carefully scrutinised. Again Whig-Radical honesty made complaint of the bribery and intimidation at the late general election, Such things are very wrong, said the Conservative Prime . Minister. Let the facts be inquired into, and where we 'find tho crime let us punish it by disfranchisement with out regard to the population of the place where it has occurred. Does not Whig , Radical honesty rejoice and clap its hands at this By no means ; it is, on the con.. trary, very much vexed, and says that Sir Robert Peel's proposal is g‘ a distinct announcement of a wish virtually to repeal the Reform Act " The Plymouth Journal, r emarking Oh the titorbigtion of Parliament, says We are almost tempted to wish for a power to compel the Members of a Parliament deaf to the remonstrance of reason t and the cry of di s t ress , to ' remain and attend to their duty, instead of hasting to the country to kill hares, partridges, and pigeons, and fine and imprison poachers." The Somerset Gazette observes, in an article on the': .distresses of the country—" England is the country for the rich ;—it - is a very paradise for the privileged, for, as the , y make the laws, so the laws are made for their profit and advantage. But it, is not a habitation for the poor, nor is it any consolation to the millions, who are 'unduly depressed by . class 'legislation, that a few of the most energetic among them, when favored by a combine ' lion of lucky' accidents, are permitted to raise themselves to rank and fortune." We quote the following remarks from the Liverpool Chronicle:—" The new Ministry has justly earned for itself the title o f the Apostate Mi n i s t r y. If there is any truth in the aphorism, Qui.facit per alios, facit per se, never were so many pledges and promises broken by any Administration as those which have already been scattered to the winds by Sir R. Peel mod his friends." The following is from the Dublin Evening Post " It cannot be too often repeated that it is in England., . this enormous bribery—this most degrading and con firmed rottenness prevails, and yet .it is to England alone that the Tories are indebted for the boasted majority which has enabled them to force themselves ! upon the Queen, and to spiee..upon the govern men t o f the cou n t r y." • The Scotsman says :---" The people have themselves to blame for forcing a Tory Ministry upon the Queen, and must place their chief reliance on the legitimate in fluence of public opinion, and on their own exertions in ' the Courts of Registration. ' i • MONEY—TRADE—COMMEIZCE. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are on the whole wore favourable than they have been for some time. At Lee* more activity had been displayed during the last week - in the wool trade, than for weeks past. The prices of cloth's are steady. At Huddersfield the demand for heavy plain and fancy woollens, and light fancy goods, was considerable. In the Bradford market prices remain steady. Stocks are not accumulating. The accounts from Halifax state that long wools are steady, and though short wool is scarcely so brisk as it was, prices are steady. The state of trade at Manchester is still very bad—the tendency is still downwards, which, with the slight advance on Cotton, makes things worse .than they have ever been seen. " A great number of compositors and pressmen in Lon don are said to be out of work at present, owing to the stagnation of trade caused by the failures among book sellers. One or two meetings have been held by the journeymen printers preparatory to a public meeting, to consider the propriety of an appeal to the public on their behalf. The distress at Paisley continues unabated. The number of persons dependent on the relief fund amounts fully to 4,500. NAVAL AND MILITAIZY. The Styx steam-vessel is fitting out at Woolwich for the reception of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Begot, G.C.8., appointed Governor-General of Canada, in the room of the deceased Lord Sydenham. The vessels composing the Niger expedition have ar rived at Sierra Leone, and everything relating to the ex pedition is favourable. COUIVII-rASIZIOLT.EI.33LE. His Royal Highness tile Duke of Sussex, and the Duchess of Inverness, have left Aske Hall, for Up leatham, the Earl of Zetland's seat, near Guisborough. We are . glad to learn that the Duke of. Cleveland is rapidly improving in health. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh are expected to arrive at Montague House this evening. The Duke of Wellington returns to Apsley House to day, from a visit to her Majesty at "Windsor Castle. The Marquis of Londonderry arrived at Mount Stew art, the family seat in Ireland, on Thursday last. Earl de Grey leaves St. James's-square te-morrow, for Dublin Castle. Viscount Ebrington is passing th 2 season at Castle Hill, Devonshire. On Saturday last Sir Hugh Hume Campbell was mar ried at St. George's, Hanover-square, to Juliana, only daughter of General Sir Joseph and Lady Fuller. Sir Robert Peel gave away the bride. Viscount Howick is to be entertained at a public din ner at the Town Hail, AlnWick, on the 26th inst. NXISCZLZANEOUS. On this day, in 1801, died John Donaldson, the minia ture painter. At the age of 13, his pen and ink copies of Albert Durer's and Aldgrave's engravings, were by connoisseurs mistaken for originals. About six hundred. horses were recently shipped from Dover for the French Cavalry, and there are about 2,500 horses in all contracted for. On Tuesday last, the body of three hundred bricklayers engaged on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, struck' their work, because the Company had engaged three or four men not belonging to the Bricklayer's Club. We hear that a Protestant Bishop is about to be con secrated /or Jerusalem. . A man has been lately accused at Guernsey of being a conjuror and practising delusions on the people.—lf to practise delusions on the people be a proof of necro mancy, then Sir Robert Peel must be looked on as a considerable dealer in the black art, though it is the generally received opinion that he is by no means a con juror! The Belfast Vindicator says that the Pope has become a tee-totaller. A lady at Epsom rose a few mornings since at an un usually early hour, and, going into her kitchen, found her maid servants very comfortably taking their break fasts with the policeman of the beat, who, it has since been discovered, was in the regular habit of leaving his duty to take his morning meal with his female friends. The case is under the investigation of the heads of the force. We understand, that during the last few years, Epis copacy has made rapid advances in Scotland. Whitings are so plentiful in the Southampton river, that it is no uncommon occurrence for a single person to catch from ten to twenty dozen. A fire broke out this morning, about four o'clock, on the premises of Messrs. Merry, wholesale cheesemon gers, in High-street, Newington. Their mother, an aged woman, in attempting to escape, fell from a win dow on the first floor, and was killed on the spot ; and the servant girl, aged 22 yea►s, perished in the flames. Distressing accounts are given in the Edinburgh papers of a hurricane on the east coast of Scotland, which commenced ,on Tuesday night, and continued all next day. Fears are entertained that the shipping have suffered severely. RUMOURS OP THE DAY.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. We regret to state that. the unfavourable news received from Spain this morning has throw4' the Stock Exchange,. and, indeed, the whole ;. Money Market, into a -state of great alarm . ,, and confusion : Th e • F un d s have fallen, . nearly three per cent. since. the closing =;-- prices of Saturday, and two defaulters, to a considerable amount, it is feared, have been declared. -The condu c t o f the •King-of the ' FRENCH is regarded with just . alarm. ae has harloured Queen CHRISTINA, the prime mover of the insurrection, in one of the Royal Palaces.
