LONDON TITESDAY , OCTOBER 19, 1841. The Standard of last evening contains the fol.- lowing article, which we believe, though we canno t answer for ourselves, we should h ave copied, whether that journal had mad e an appeal or not to our honesty : We have been favoured with the following , copy of a letter addressed to Sir Robert Peel. The writer is the clergyman who has the general charge of Sir Robert Peel's school at Taroworth, in the Right Hon. Baronet's kbsenee, and he is the pnriy referred to in the calumny Which he exposes:— "TA 31 WORTH . , OCT. 17. the have been copied into " I have been told that one or mote paragraphs, origi nally in 77e.

R. c. :.:-%,.t. A GE. P and It has tot been with a stronv, feeling of sham- I . , di!gust that we have prevailed upon ourielves to pubd.st this letter. It; publication is surAy ittmeces=ary for the vindication of a man whose personal character ought to defy slander. If, as a state - snasn, no Null, a , Sir Robert Peel has a private gentleman, . pren 'in .Envt:nd, he has no superior. Ti, ~ use his calumniator is, in such a case as this hefore us,- P a painfid, and degrading, task. Lying and malice 'ltay reach that height that We cannot do justice upon thetn, without impeaching owr common humanity ; but falsehoed - must be- met by truth, at whatever sacritice,• if not to neutralize its power—that, in the case of Sir Robert Pe e r, c haracter,- must be superfluous —at least to deter from a - repetition offensive to the public. The f ,, llovvin g is the lie which has called for Mr. Savage's contradiction —it was first promul• gated in a letter -of one of the hired lecturers of the League : " There is in Tatnworth a crcantnar school, founded tY Sir Robert's father, for the gratuitous education of the children of the ineabitants, so long as a Peel shall re present the borough ; and lam credibly informed that the master (Savage by name, and, as it should seem, servile by nature) informed the boys a few days since that he had received a letter from the Prime Minister ' ordering him to discharge the children of all those who h ad signed the petition ! The way being thus prepared, the re lieving 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 th a t some disclaimers - were the consequence." This lie has gone the round of the Opposition Jour nals, and was yesterday the subject of an insulting article in the Examiner. Will those who gave it currency have the honesty to publish Mr. Savage's contradiction ? We transcribe the whole article, including the original paragraph, as well as Mr. SAVAGE'S letter, and-notwithstanding the big words of the Standard, if that Journal have no better autho rity for them than Mr. SAVAGE'S letter, Mr. ACLA:6:S assertions remain uncontradicted. The existence of a school to bribe the electors of Tamworth " to return a PEEL by gratuitous edu cation for their children, is unnoticed; and as Mr. SAVAGE, the clergyman in charge of Sir R. Peel's school, writing to him, ought to have contradicted it, had it been incorrect, by his silence that part of Mr. ACLAND'S assertion is confirmed- and substantiated. In no part of the paragraph does Mr. ACLAND i assert that Mr. SAVAGE had dismissed boys from Sir R. PEEL'S school, and Mr. SAVAGE'S as surance that there is not the " slightest shadow of an excuse for such. a falsehood" does not apply to anything said by Mr. ACLA ND. The charge which Mr. ACLAND makes is two fold; of Sir'R. PEEL it is said, on the authority of Mr. SAVAGE, that Sir R. PEEL bad ordered Mr. SAVAGE to discharge the children of air those who had signed the petition; and of Mr.• SAVAGE, Mr. ACLAND asserts that he informed the boys he had received such an order. Now, it was incumbent on Mr. SAVAGE, noticing the matter, to make himself master : of the state ments, and, if he could, to give them a positive and clear contradiction. But he does not say that he had not received such an order from Sir R. PEEL---." he says no boy has been discharged he not choosing, perhaps, to carry the irate Premier's orders into execution. Mr. ACLAND does not charge Mr. SAVAGE with having turned boys out, of the school, but with having informed them that he had been ordered to turn them out. If Sir . ROBERT had given no such order, why does not Mr. SAVAGE, writing to him, say that he never had Mr. SAVAGE does not even deny that be informed the boys. "No boy," he says, "has been discharged from your school for any cause whatever for many nuzas, nor have I spoken to any of them on the subject." The only plural substantive which precedes or followS " thein" is " months," and Mr. SAVAGE really says—" Nor had he spoken to any. of the months'. on the subject." Mr. SAVAGE may -have meant' something different from what he say s, and he mast therefore be content to admit either that he cannot write English, or that he gives no contradiction what- ever to: Mr. ACLAND' assertion that he had in formed the boys of Sir . ROBERT PEEL'S order. Far our parts, we cannot believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL, would place an ignorant and blun dering man in charge of his school ; and there fore we suppose that .. Mr. SAVAGE- pure rely Wrote the sentence to have the appearance of a contradietion-While it really is, when examined, no - contradiction whatever., .That: he - is a clergy- Mart justifies our suspicioa; because the- clergy are bred: up and regularly taught to disregard truth, :to maintain a system, and shut. their eyes' tO'reason _and - to laugh , least lege oathi--to. scOrn,,as only -intended! tei:COn .trol the conscienceg-of -The 'Vulaar.

In the language of the Tories, he is their natural leader or protector. The mill-owner or manufacturer, far from being under any such obligation, offers the people of his own accord employment and wages, and enables those whom the landlords should pro vide for to provide for themselves. The manu facturer works himself, and lie sets others to work ; he schemes and contrives how to employ people profitably, and he has succeeded to a vast extent. The landowner, as such, only receives rent, and plays the part of a Magistrate and a law-maker. We do not exonerate the manufacturers from a strong desire to obtain wealth and distinction. They emulate the landlords, we admit ; but they do something for their wealth, while the land owners do nothing whatever. It is the duty of the landowners to provide for the poor, but it is no otherwise the duty of the manufacturers—for they have done their duty to the people they employ, when they have honestly paid them their wages—than as it is the duty of all men to assist one another. Let it be remembered, too, that the land oWners, who are bound to protect the people, and who make the laws, have never interposed in their favour as against the mill-owners, and only now talk of doing it when their food mono poly is attacked. They were for years glad enough to ship or waggon off their paupers by wholesale into the manufacturing districts, to place them at the - mercy of these " unfeeling mill-owners." They passed no law to limit the hours of . working, but they zealously upheld the • Combination, and other similar laws, by which their paupers were given bound into the hands of the manufactur ing capitalists. After having so grossly ne glected their duty, they and their satellites in stitute a comparison between them, who are bound to protect the people, and the manu facturers, who are under no such obligation; and, bringing forward an ornamental cottage or two, with a school, exclaim, "behold how much more bountiful we are than the mill-owners." We know the value of this bOasting; but if they were all they are described, they would fall — as the monopolisers of the soil and the re ceivers of rent, who are bound to protect the. people—much below their duty. • It is.not, however, for us or the public now to question or settle the relative merits of land owners and mili-owners. The great complaint throughout the. country is, that the landlords perpetrate ,by law a great system of injustice, and it is no answer to that charge to - say—though the assertionmay serve to confuse the subject, for which purpose it seems to be made—that the manufacturers do not care for. their.workmen. Any wrong-doing of the manufacturers will not justify the-landlords in doing wrong. :Let them pull.the beam out of their own eye, and then they may see to pull the mote out of the eye of the Manufacturers. Let them abolish the Corn laws, and they shall have our cordial and hearty support in protecting the manufacturing labourers against being overworked, and under-paid,, and against any system of oppression whatever. Their present conduct in first committing a grieVous wrong, and theri in vituperating other men, for some imaginary offence, is turning society topsy,thry,y, and exposing all classes to the most serious;ealamities. • We must, in conclusion, say one word of Sri. ROBERT PEEL. Mr. SAVAGE'S letter was ad dressed to him, and was not published, we may be sure, without his authority. He is conse quently a consenting party to that futile attempt which we have exposed, to palm on the public an apparent contradiction of a grave charge, which is no contradiction at all. We have Lord STANLEY'S authority, and our own experience, for believing that Sir ROBERT PEEL is a good hand at dressing up a case to deceive the public; and we therefore are inclined to believe that he dressed up the case to get rid of the charge of using his school to influence the political conduct of the electors of Tamworth. If it be said that this is such unworthy conduct, that it cannot be credited, we reply, that the man who takes office to continue a system of starving the people, and prevent that system being altered, is capable of any political crime. We are glad to see that Colonel THOMPSON in the:North is engaged in the good NY011( of en . Aleavonring to rally the Chartists round the stan dard of Corn-law repeal, as a means of obtaining further organic changes. To reconcile the work clastes and the. master manufacturers now suffering under one common and great calamity —to-unite all Reformers in an attempt first to g6t rid of the - Corn-laws, is precisely the one thing needful, and we hope it will be, successful. At a meeting of the Young Men's Anti- Monopoly Asgoeia.tion, held. at Manchester, on Saturday, the - Colonel professed he wanted` to obtain the Charter:— - , He kneW (he waded) ,:biro were those who said, carry the Charter, and then we should he able to carry every thhv else." lle hail already said that the policy of a skilful - General was not to attack the strongest point: of the eriemyrS . fortification, but the weakest. . Now he had `Some doubt, for that reason, whether they ought to seek thy Charter first. The story that if they got the Char ter first they should, be able to secure the rapeal of the Corri-laws afterwards, rerninded him of a story he used often to her when a youth—about the way to, catch birds. The way was by• getting near enough to pat a . little salt on their tails.--(Laughter.) Now he stoOd 'not there to deny that fact, but simply to, aslt how they were to plaCe salt on the bird's tails ?—(Hear, hear,) That is precisely the point. If the Cimrtiqs will show us how we can put salt on the tails of the aristocracy, and so catch them and squeeze the Charter, or any system of good government, out of them, we will go with the Chartists. The abolition of the Corn-lawS now unites a far greater body of Reformers in its favour than any other question, and though that abolition would not put salt on the tails of the aristocracy, and hand them over to the Chartists, it , would cripple their wings, and ere long bring them to the earth. Their ill-gotten wealth is to them what moisture is said to be to the wings of the flying fish, which falls back into the water when the filmy pinion becomes dry. Let us cut off the source of the arrogant superiority of the aristocracy, and they will soon learn to be have like honest men. In furtherance of that great union of all Re formers which is now so desirable, a meeting is to be held at Leeds this evening ; Colonel T. PERRONET THO3IPSON, J. A. ROEBUCK, Esq., and others, are to be present. The Chartists of Leeds will, we are assured, promote their object, for those who now interfere to prevent the suc cess of Corn-law repeal are as guilty as the land lords, and doom many of the working and dis tressed people to starvation and death. The Leeds Reform Association has put forth an Address to the Manufacturers of Yorkshire, signed by J. G. MARSHALL, Chairman, in which is the following deliberate assertion : The worst is yet to be told. It plainly appears frOm various symptoms that a large and influential portion of the dominant class, are deliberately bent on reducing your numbers and influence by increasing your distress. A scheme of policy more atrocious and insane never dis graced an educated and civilised community. The charge is too serious and awful to be lightly made : we shall state the indications that, joined to the acts of our rulers, appear to us conclusive evidence that such intentions are really entertained. This assertion is supported by proofs, of which we must content ourselves with here quoting two, as being little known : First—The admisSion of our friends amongst the aris tocracy, and thank heaven we still have many, that their Conservative brethren in private conversation fearlesSly assert, what they , dare not in public, that the manufac turing interest is already too powerful, and must be diminished—the population too great, and must be re duced. We have received Belgian and Dutch papers of 'the latest dates. On the 15th instant the Dutch Chambers, having voted the Budget, and got through all the business before them, the Session was closed by the Minister of the Interior, who delivered the following Speech:— Secondly—That the words which fell . from Sir James C- which the , e thet Anti-Corn-law present orn Home - ow de me paSecretary,ntioha t t i w in the him m tervtew some time ago, left the same impression on their minds. tu T al h l e yJournals, which are others are drawn from the language habi written to please the tlie T T o o r r3 ;atistocracy and which abound, as we have frequently noticed, in vitu peration of the ma nu f ac t ur i ng an d town popula tion,especially a the mill-owners. Their lan guage must be taken in conjunction with the conduct of the landowners ; and when we find them practically endeaTourin , f, by laws, to keep down the numbers and the influence of the manufacturing population, that language plainly reveals to us the hidden and nefarious designs of the landowners. We regret, as every man must, to see _this mutual exasperation and mutual re viling ; but it all has its origin in, and never can cease, till the landlords abstain from committing, legislative robbery. - No longer ago than yesterday one of the Tory Journals instituted a somewhat uncalled for comparison between the landowners and the mill-owners, and told its readers to s‘ look around the dwellings of these two classes, and see in which neighbourhood the poor are most cared for by the rich." It is thus implied, and is repeatedly asserted, by the Tory Journal", that the mill - owners and master-manuf acturers are extortionate, cruel, hard-hearted, and un charitable. Supposing it be so, there is a great distinction between them and the landowners, which ought to be remembered. The mill-owner receives no monopoly from the law; the landowner receives a monopoly of the whole soil, and consequently of the means of subsistence. He holds that monopoly by the tenure of protecting and feeding the Noble and Mighty Lords—The session of the - States General, which ends to day, will fill an important.place in the annals of our country. It was opened a few weeks after the revival of the fundamental law, a few days after the ages} Prince, who had governed us for moro than a quarter of a century, voluntarily resigned the crown to our beloved King. Summoned to the solemnity of doing homage to the King, in the capital of the kingdom, you ; have sworn to maintain and defend the rights of his crown, and re ceived the oath that the King will govern according to the laws and the interest of the country. The manifold labours which have been concluded during this 'session have required your co-operation durin g the whole year, affording a striking proof of mutual desire to promote with combined efforts the interest of the country. The Government felt the necessity of giving on its side proofs of confidence in the .national representation. The States-General have answered by performing their anions task with calmness and uninterrupted zeal ; hence it has been possible to lessen, as far as could be done, the burthen of circumstances arising from the course of previous events over which the Government has no control. The financial state of the kingdom was laid open without any reserve. A financial Legislature, against which mightyobjec tions were always made, was abolished. Many impor tant laws have been passed. Besides providing for the service of the current year, a two years' Budget (with the exception of one chapter) was agreed to. IN ew pledges for the due administration of the finances have been afforded by the enactment of a more satisfactory law for the General Chamber of Ac counts. Means for providing for the arrears have been formed. By the conversion of the Deferred into Active Debt, we have a prospect of saving and diminution of the debt, with more simplicity and clearness in what relates to the debt. . Laws relative to taxation have been revised, or pre pared for revisal, with the co• operation of the States- General. Many other laws have been passed. It is the earnest resolve - of the Government, proceed ing in the same course, to propose, in the next Session, several new laws, to provide for the existing wants. The inquiry will be continued how it may be possible to equalize the revenue and expenditure. At the conclusion of your labours, it is a great satis faction to yourselves to have presided willingly over. the interest 91 the country. God grant that the Government and the States-Gene ral may always endeavour to attain in union their com mon object. In the name of the King, I declare the presetit Ses sion of the States;General to be closed.

The mu r THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19 1841 derous attack made upon the young Queen of SPAIN'S Palace, at the imminent ha zard of the lives _of the Royal children, has opened the eyes of the Freinch people to the. real desighs of the KING in supporting the 'trea sonable designs of CHRISTINA 3IU NOZ, The attempt to carry off the QUEEN having failed, French troops have -been- ordered to the frontier, and Louis PHILIPPE waits but for the shadow of a pretext to invade Spain. ..It appears that the King of the FRENCH, understanding that ESPARTERO was favourable to a marriage between the young QUEEN and her cousin, the son of the In fante 'FRANCISCO 'DE PAULA, made over tures to the INFANTE, - offering-. him a large sum of money, provided• he would consent to waive all claim to the 'QUEEN'S hand for his son, and allow her to marry the Duke D'AUMALE. The Infante declined the proposals made by the KING, and hence the opposition made by the authori- I ties to his return to Spain. The KING has already advanced the insurgents money to the amount of 40,000/. sterling, and Queen CHRIS TINA has within the last few days remitted im mense sums to NAuvAtz and O'DoNNELL in Spain. The Duchess de la Victoria arrived in Gibraltar last night. Her .Highness was attended on shore by Cap tain Chambers, commanding her Majesty's ships in the Bay, and was received, .on lauding, by the .Governor, who conducted her to the head-quarters, where apart- 7 ments had- been prepared for her reception. A Guard of Honour, tof the 79th Highlanders had been in readiness all day ; but, owing to the late hour of her Highness's arrival, in consequence of the strong wes terly wind, all military compliments:were dispensed with.

A great number of officers had met together to sign a petition remonstrating against the non payment of the arrears due to them; and the circumstance had sufficiently alarmed the Authorities to induce them to station . several piquets of cavalry - round the building where the Corks held their sittings. The workmen in the military arsenal were also preparing a similar peti-. tion; and, in the meantime, one hundred and fifty of them—all encumbered with families—had been dismissed without receiving • the wages they justly claimed, which was considered a great hardship. The Gazette de Triluiteaux, the Gazette de France, and the Quetidienne, received yesterday a summons to appear before the Royal Tribunal, to hear the decision on the appeal locked by the Attorney-General, from the sentence acquitting them of the accusation on occasion of the account, given of:the Didier affair.

We are without any news from Madrid of a later date than the accounts published in The Sun of yesterday. The King of the French has succeeded, in his infamous project to the extent of filling Spain with confusion, anarchy, and bloodshed. Pampeluna, Vittoria, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid are all in a state of commotion, occasioned by the wicked attempts of the Citizen Kin.. and Queen Christina Munoz, to upset the Spanish Government. The Journal des Debuts, which is unsparing in its attacks on the Spanish Government and - people, has the following remarks:—" An extraordinary junta, styled 'of public safety,' has been formed at Barcelona, and has already superseded all the legitimate authorities. The troopsiare declared to be suspected; a list of proscriptions has been drawn up ; a forced loan has been de creed, and, to make sure of it, no more passports are delivered ; •in other words, the town is con verted into a vast prison. This new authority has promulgated only one short law, but it •is simple, clear, and expeditious—it punishes with death all those who should spread reports favourable to This is no doubt a sad state of things, but it has its origin in the wicked intrigues of the King of the French. For the guilt of the crimes now committed in Spain Louis Philippe and Christina Munoz are, in the righteous judgment of Heaven, responsible. The Constitucional, a Barcelona paper, denouncei the King of the French as the real author of all the troubles in Spain. - The following is an extract from an article in it:—"Though we never doubted that the King of the „Barricades was the infamons protector of the enemies of our prosperity, we could not have believed that lie would carry his cynical designs So fur as to openly undermine our liberties, and that he himself would put arms in the hands of those who wish to drown our institutions and our hOpes in blood, and that he would dare to do this in the country that has had the misfor tune to call him to the throne. How can a King who picked up his crown amidst the lust of a revolution take upon himself such an anti-liberal mission. What does Louis Philippe mean ? What does he expect to:gain by the resurrection of a civil war in Spain? • Is it to spill blood ? Well, be it so—blood shah be spilt in torrents; but mark I this blood, perhaps, will be fruitful to the seeds of our prosperity. • This blood will be revenged on those whose hands are unworthy of being inviolate." The French Government is sending troops to the Spanish frontier. There was a rumour in Paris on Sun day that the King intended to make any rising of the Spanish Republicans a pretext for an invasion. We learn that the Count de Liedekerke Beaufort, for merly of the household of the King of 'Tolland, died lately at the age of 79 - , at his seat of Noisy, where he has lived in retirement since the revolution. . The Session of the Dutch Parliament was closed on the 15th inst. The Speech delivered on the occasion by the Minister of the Interior will be found in another column.

One circumstance, however; deserves particular com ment, and that is the attempt to push upon the public a quantity of spurious leaf, miscalled Pouchong. This is not the first time, but ac cordin g to the statement of Mr. Bland there is now a much larger quantity of it offered than ever before; The tea is stated to be worthless, if not injuriouseand•itt is High time so important an evil should be remedied, .for the sake of the public.

It was rather unfortunate for the value of this communication; that it did not contain any part of the important intelli gence brought by the'Sherid an, which sailed on the 27thult. only. The fact is, that the Louis Philippe sailed on the 26th, in company w ith the Akbar, which arrived at this port on Tuesday- ; but the French correspondent of the Post thought to enhance the value of his commu nication by post-dating the day of York.—Litvrpod Albion. PUBLIC OPINION. In an article suggested by a letter from a Correspond ent on the subject of the disturbances created at public meetings by persons .calling . themselves Chartists, the Morning Chronicle observes So long .as Chartism has, in its nominal ranks, a supply of vendible scoun drels who will take Tory cash, or of ruffian slaves, who will obey Feargus O'Connor, . the repetition of the dis turbances-. complained of will not fail to be attempted-. The agents are becoming pretty 'well known now, and their infamy follows them. Men who are _base enough,- either'for sordid gain or in. blind obedience, to stand in the way of justice towards - the poor and wOrking Classes, and abet by their clamour the robbery committed by the monopolist upon the food, of the industrious,, are. not. likely long to, retain any power of disturbance. beyond that which their fellew-conspirators can exercise. They are disarmed. by. exposure. Accordingly we ,find, by our Correspondent's own statement, that the parties -of whom he complains-'-were, at the J-Itte -meeting, a very contemptible minority. He estimates them 'at not more ttan one- in • - fifteerl.' • This is a very different state of things from that Which existed not Many months ago,' when actual majoritieS'Were get : up ,age,inst the anti-bread-tax agitation. A gricAt change in the feelings of the' any is: plainly,in rapitl.progess..Andno wonder, . The.y find that, they. cannot. feed. upon- the hope of. the.,suffrage. tbe. Charter falls in their :market as rises."--'-The Chartists can only snake themselves a really influential party by.listening to thettnerring,4dic -tates-of- common sense: - Let theni cease to'clanionrs for the impracticable, and , stick to the practicable, and - they May • further' -• the' cause of JmproVenient so as to benefit - themselves to art extent of which at present ihey seem to.' 'have no , conception. But . the political -fanaticism _which. ; they maLifested at the commencement .of, their. -career.can be attended with no other result than that of- bitter-disappointment. ,Reason is the-banner under which they must enlist, if they desire' to become really efficient Reformers. Let them combine their efforts with those of the Anti-'oOrrf-law agitators, and they will'at once secure a high vantage ground fOr their further operations. We do not -desire: to see them tame or lethargic; far otherwise. Let theaekhibit the same vigour they have always exhibited; •but ipt that vi-. dour be influenced and directed : by. common sense. In polities as in religion, ill-regulated enthusiasni,.hOwever it tnay succeed for the time, is sure. in the long run. to defeat its own purpose: The Post isiabOuring hard ••to Convince... the agricul— tural lahourers that the Corn-laws are kept up in all' their severity expressly for their • intsrests. If the. landowners alone," says our Contemporary, " were the. persons interested in this limited and graduatedmono poly of the supply of corn to British consumers, the question would be greatly changed. 'ln that case we might venture 'perhaps upon the experiment of 'doing without the monopoly, because the• landowners are not utterly dependent *upon the rent of arable land. It would be possible to try - the experiment without inflict ing • physical misery upon any portion of the people. But that is not the case as ,rnat ters stand, because the agricultural labourers can not afford to lose -the limited monopoly they possess. It is the only thing between them and cessa don of demand for their labour—in other words, the only thing between them and utter ruin. It is, then, emphatically a labourers' question. The Corn-laW is maintained chiefly because it is the interest of the la bourers that it' . should be maintained. Other clasSes might bear the ioss of protection, but they could not. They who clamour for Corn-law repeal, clamour for the immediate degradation and ultimate destruction of the British labourer."—Not so. They who clamour for Corn-law repeal, clamour for the destruction of a grinding impost kept up for the sole benefit of a few selfish monopolists. Swift's definition of party applies admirably to this impost—lt is the ruin of many for the gain of a few. The Times says :—" The grand hypocrisy of the day is the pretence continually set •up by those who call themselves' Liberals' to be regarded as the only sincere friends of the people. The chief amusements of the =Tories' are generally assumed by these gentlemen to be the devising means for starving or !tormenting the population ; while their political opponents are repre sented as abounding in the milk of.human kindness, and delighting in conferring benefits upon. the people. The wickedness of all this chiefly consists in its being not merely untrue, but the very reverse of the truth. There is no fact more unquestionable in modern history than this—that the political economists, the grand enemies of the people's comfort and happiness, have ever been, in the main, a sect of the Whigs."— TA refute this observation nothing more is needed than to refer to the history of the last ten years, which will show that the Tories invariably opposed every measure brought forward by the Whigs- for the benefit of the people, and increased their opposition in exact propor tion to the good expected to be derived from it. Thus they opposed the plan for cheap and expeditious jus tice ; for a system of national education ; for loosening some of the most oppressive restrictions on trade ; and indeed every measure that came recommended by reason and equity. But this, on the Times's showing, they did out 'of their excessive affection - for the people ! They " chastened" them, because they " loved" ,them. We suppose it was this intense love on the part of the Tories, that induced them to cut down the people by wholesale at Peterloo, and build new jails and . barracks throughout the country for their accommodation ! The " milk of human kindness," which our Contemporary de scribes as running in the veins of Toryism, is just equal ia amount and quality to that which runs in the veins of a tiger. The Herald makes the following remarks on the con duct of the Poor-law Commissioners :—" The Somerset House despots have triumphed over humanity ; they have driven the poor from the country into unwhole some cellars and half-covered garrets in towns ; they have lightened the rates by demoralising and starv ing the population. They have diminished the agricul tural population, it is said, more than two per cent. within six years, and they have proportionablys we ll e d ou t t h ose great national wens —full of corruption and disease— which deprive the empire of its real strength. They pro ' posed to elevate the morals of the poor by pinching their bellies, and depriving them of the enjoyment of the only solace poverty can have in that holy union between man and wife; and yet they have produced an emigration into those sinks of moral depravity and political crime— the manufacturing districts, in which, according to' the Secretary of the Anti-Corn-law Conference, it is difficult to: restrain the young men' from pillaging the pro vision warehouses around them.' They litiVe drawn away the people from rural homes, where there was com paratively speaking, little or no surplus labour, to towns where the population was previously overteeming; and they have thereby greatly augmented the distress pro duced by over-production. Hero then is a clear.connec- Lon - between the Poor-law and the present distress." , ittnCTILTIETRATA. ------- Guernsey this year has produced a superabundance of the rich Chaurnontel pear ; but another of its peculiar products, the Guernsey lily, has entirely failed. • NAVAL AND IVEZ.I.ITARY.

LAW AND POLX CE . The magnitae;ndimP;rttiTnceof the operations of the Court of Chancery will appear from the statement just completed, that the balance of cash and securities placed to the credit of the various accounts in Chancery amounts to the sum of 42,000,0001. and upwards I At present the number of these accounts is about 12,000 ; but Parliament has recently ordered that all the accounts belonging to the Court of Exchequer (amounting to about 1,600), shall be added to them, forming an ag gregate of 13,600. For facilitating the business inciden. tal to this great mass of accounts, the offices heretofore divided into three departments, are now to be sub divided, it is believed into four. Mr: Wigranylas been appointed to one of the new Judgeships created by the Bill passed in the last Session for facilitating the administration of justice in the Court of Chaneery. No gentleman has yet been selected as his colleag,ue. • Three persons were brought before the sitting Alder man at Guildhall . yesterday, charged with attempting to drown themselves in the river at Blackfriars-bridge.

Mr. Coward, a surgeon of the neighbourhood, was sent for, who stated that she had been dead some hours. She had struggled much, as her mouth and hands - were smeared w ia - bloOd.

She had provided herself with a-chair to effect her purpose, and previous to doing the dreadful act, she put out the candle, by putting the lighted wick in the socket. She was only seventeen years of age. It is stated that a love attachment was the cause.
