We cannot find room for our Correspondent's letter, dated Greenock, and signed "An Operative." It would strengthen the evidence we have laid before the public of the acute feelings of the workingelasses; but, alas for our country, the aristocracy are deaf to all kinds of warnings, and though one rose from the dead, yet would they not believe.

The discussion, day after day, of the Corn-laws, which is forced on our Contemporaries by the condition of our trade, and the increasing (un happily) distress of the people, must be a war ranty to our readers, that by continually discus sing those laws for upwards of three years, we have had a correct conviction of their vast influ ence on the public welfare, and have Only done our duty. We may say the same of those en lightened politicians, Mr. WOLRYCHE WHIT. MORE, Sir Wm. CLAY, Mr. HUME, and Mr. VILLIERS, who, for several years, on various occasions, have unsuccessfully attempted to force the subject on the attention of Par liament. Whatever blame may be due to the Whig Ministers, if any—fbr they had to con sider their party and. their means of retaining the Government in their hands—for not .be fore taking up the Corn laws, none can be thrown on. the Radicart.arty, which more often brought forward: the:''question without meeting adequate support: front the country or Parliament, than neglected any opportunity to enforce their views. Now the Corn-laws have become the one engrossing question for poli ticians, which absorbs all others, and will con tinue to do so till the la ws b e repealed, or till the denial of justice provOke some terrible cala- mity. The presen t distress, w hi ch is felt in Spitak fi e lds as severe l y as at M anc h ester, brings the w h o le subject t o a short issue. The people want food. The C orn and Provision -laws are Passed •- expressly to keep fbod from being impo r t e d for are expressly, intendej their 116 e. to TheY our people from buying co ij i ~,...,A prevent beef at all times from . any . other thiy. per sons than the farniers of England; are expressly intended to prevent the farmers of the United k''States, of Russia, o f Prussia, and of Germany, front growing food re gularly for our people, and with greater effect . than most laws they have a nswered this end, and have effectually kept a great quantity of food from our people. This is the plain and pal pable cause why the people want food ; and why should we look beyond this, or puzzle ourselves about prices, and wages, and foreign tariffs, to find out the cause of their want of food, and of their great distress? If they have not food, and plenty of food, it is clear that they can have no comforts and no luxuries, because these are only sought for after food is obtained, and they will at all times be sacrificed to obtain it. To seek fbr any other cause of distress than the decree of the Legislature, designed - to keep food away from the People, is a mere idle waste of time. Ingenious men may thereby show a great surplus of econo- . mical learning, but it only serves to make dark' that which was light, and perplex, under an enormous mass of words, that which was per. • fectly plain. Of course, when the supply of food is limited, the number of People is limited by that supply.' p!.'t .. Tp limit the number of people stops enterprise, ~,.... r- . 7, _ ehesas invention, k and arrests improvement, fur 4 all Ithese are iilvari 'ably the consequences of an „likre4 of population. We talk_ vaguely: - about 4 47 . 4;4,iliiis,dding, , to human .. v'i' i i ~ a mere r t `%ligriVae is knowledge dl4 skill, abstract; ,terms .and.,the real 1.-- 7 -Ti-,.:,, rce of extended knowledge :is : the greater human beings who exist, or have 1 existed, in time, and who add, or have added, their observations to the common stock. To arrest the progress of population, by limiting the growth and the supply of food, is, therefore, to arrest the progress of civilization, and to doom the peo ple to all that poverty, misery, and crime, which are the known attendants on a declining or station ary population. The Corn-laws, then, are more dis astrous than famine, earthquakes, or pestilence; „and, supposing public utility to be the basis of 'the moral sentiments, the authors of those laws far more deserve to be visited by the indignation and wrath of the public than highwaymen or Murderers. Some of our Contemporaries, who have a wish, if possible, to render the subject obscure, endea vour to prdve, from the late population returns, that. the manufacturers have nothing to com plain ot; and that the fault is their own dishonest or inhuman competition. At the same time the Stanclard admits that " the increase of po pulation " (the source of national greatness, and the sign of national welfare) " bears an exact proportion to the commercial property of the . nation." Have they not, therefore, a right to complain ? and have not the people a right to blame those laws which, like the Corn-laws, impede our commerce with Germany, Prussia, and the United States, and, of course, impede prosperify; and Atop the increase - of the people ? Compared to this view, all the other presumed consequences of the law, or of repealing it—such as raising or lowering rent, placing a few acres of land more or less under the plough, impover ishing or enriching a few thousand landlords—are trifles of the least possible consequence. The law withholds food from the people ; the law ar rests the progress of population; the law stops civilization ; the law dooms a portion of the people to death ; and a large number of those whOm it fails to starve it dooms to po verty, misery, and crime. It is no longer a question whether the law be good or bad, and it is idle now to discuss it. The question is, how can it be maintained in the face of a starving and indignant people, and how long will they submit to the cruel oppression? We have seen it eloquently stated in that excellent journal, the Nonconformist, that the people display a noble self-denial by foregoing plenty of food, which, by coalescing with the middle classes, they could command, in order to obtain their political rights. But of what use are political rights, compared to food, to starving men ? The hunger in Spitalfields, Manchester, and Paisley, ought to satisfy the probably well-fed leaders of the Chartists that it is impolitic as well as unrighteous to seek, if by that means even it can be obtained, univer sal suffrage at the expense of the prodigious suf fering to which the manufacturing poor, from the continuance of the Corn-laws, are now exposed. It is no longer for them a question of voting or not voting, a question of life or death; and the Chartists will act most cruelly—as cruelly as the landlords, without their excuse—if they do not relieve their suffering fellow-labourers, by at once making common cause with the rest in demanding the total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws. The fire at Woolwich, the attempt to set fire to the Horse Guards, and the various acts of incendiarism in the country, beget a suspicion that the Tower was burned by design. Out of that grows the suspicion that the Royal Ex change and the Houses of Parliament were both wilfully burned—that Plymouth Dock-yard was designedly set on fire—and now, as far as we can learn, the suspicion is general that we live sur rounded with would-be incendiaries. The ques now asked is, which is the next building to be destroyed? and a prayer follows for the safety of Buckingham Palace and the Museum. We are far from saying such suspicions are well founded ; we continue to believe that some of these fires may have been accidental, but it implies a horrible condition of society that such suspicion can be for one moment entertained. There is no portion of the people not in terested in the public buildings. They are the property of the people. With several of them are associated many traditionary feelings, which the lower classes cherish as warmly as the upper classes and which they are more slow to discard. Sad and desolate must be their condition, and full of terror the condition of the other classes, when suspicions can be entertained that amongst the people are to be found a number of willing incen. diaries. The only appropriate epithet for the state of society which such suspicions imply is horrible, and for this horrible condition our rulers arc answerable. We do not confine the term to the present Ministers, and to the members of the Legislature; we embrace in it the aristo cracy, the clergy, and the upper classes, and we lay on them the responsibility of this horrible condition of society. If they know that they are unable to prevent such wickedn ess— that it is, as.they, say, natural to the heart of man —why, in the name of common sense, do they assume the power of making man other than he is? As long as their ambition or their avarice prompts them to assume exclusively the guidance and control of society, refusing the multitude all share of it, so long will they be exclusively re spon%ible for every evil in its condition. They will not be able in this case to make the Press their scape-goat. On other occasions, when the people have been driven by oppressions into untimely insurrections, our self-constituted rulers have been able, by artful management, to threw the blame of the public discontent on the Press, which has reprobated their doings. The Press, however, discusses laws and politics, not the art of setting buildings on fire. It has pointed out the errors and the mischievous designs of Tory legislators, and may, therefore, have roused the people to oppose the Legislature; but it has never in any shape,orform, or degree, advocated, approved of, or recommended the incendiarism of the national buildings. If a desire to perpe trate such crimes exist, it must be the sponta neous consequence of the peculiar condition of the people, and has never been generated or fanned into force by any public writer. The law-makers will not, on this occasion, therefore, be able to escape the responsibility of causing the present horrible condition of society by throwini , the blame on the Press. e I :: . , f We see it stated that a conference is to be held "Frame a tondon to consider the affairs of Spain. and England 'mot° be the active parties to thC: rence, which is to do for Louis PHILIPPE l ! h 4t- his owintrigues n have failed to accomplish. Neithe r any hasrt ion of the Spaniards nor their Government asked any of the Powers . to interfere with Spain.r They abhor and repudiate all such interference. their blood to ence. Th e y are rea d y to s h e d keep Madame M UNOZ ou t o f Spain, and to escap e the wily tyrant at Paris, They graspi ng i n fl uence o f s. They ha ve se l ecte d their own Government by them se - se N interfered with n o ot es; they have her people, and ha ve molested no person's rights. For England to be a party to any such conference —for England t o attempt to interfere in any way with Spain in conjunction with LoufsP HILIPPE— is quite uncalled for and unwarrantable. We hope, therefore , t hat the re port is untrue, and we console ourselves by believing, if it b e not untrue, that the Governments of France and England will have so much business to attend to at home that they will be compelled to l eave Spain to take care of herself. If they look at their own subjects, society being in a distracted state in France, arid the people starving here, they will see a much more pressing case for their exertions than Spain, even were she in the very height of a revolutionary fever. The Report of the Peers' Committee on the subject of QUENISSET'S conspiracy, occupies the leading . columns of the French journals. Those on the Liberal side ridi cule, as they well—may, the solemn Tomp of the Chamber of Peer 'to try handful of madmen, whom the Journal I THE SUN, LO Debats and the other organs of the Court had previously represented as formidably menacing the existence of social order in France. Had a conspiracy existed of I , the intimated by the Debats, it is riot in the columns of that paper that we should first hear of it. The National contrasts the conduct of the Belgian Government in the affair of the conspiracy at Brussels with that of the French Ministry in the case of QUENISSET and his accomplices, . from which it draws conclu sions most unfavourable to the SOULT-GUIZOT Cabinet. "In Belgium'? says that Journal, " where the conspiracy had ramifications ex tending even to the army, the Government thought it wise and . prudent to give as little importance as possible , to the affair, and even to turn it into ridicule. ' Here the' direct reverse of, such, prudent conduct. is . shown." - The. National:forgets. that it is becausc the conspiracy of QUENISSET is so very ridiculous that the Government' exaggerates it so `much. The Government is afraid of setting all France laughing at the solemn humbugging of the Court of Peers. This Journal says : " Here a handful of madmen receive as theories the dreams of some enfans perdus of the materialist philo sophy of the eighteenth century, and whose means of action consist of only two pistols and a bad receipt for making gunpowder. Why is so much importance attached to these poor creatures, that in order to try them one Of the great political bodies of the State is called together? Why, even in acknowledging, as M. Bastard has done in his Report, that they are a handful of men too feeble and too disunited to merit the name of a sect, is a quarto volume printed to show that this handful of men places the State in peril ? The reason of this difference between the Belgian and French Governments is, that in Belgium the Orangeist conspiracy is a real and serious affair, and it is felt that it is good policy to diminish the importance of it in the public eye ; whereas, in this country, the men who govern, us, think they incur no danger in giving such gi gantic propositions to a plot, which had its birth in a tap-house, from which it never emerged into the world. If there had really been any danger for the Govern ment, for property, and for established order, in the petty communist and other associations, on which M. Bastard has bestowed his Incubrations, so much would not be said of them, and certainly so much pains would not be taken to exaggerate their import ance. If they are held up as a phantom to terrify the public mind ; if by bringing the Communists before the Court of Peers, a sort of pedestal is made for them, it is because it is well known that their folly is not conta gious, and that there is no danger in assigning to them an importance which they do not possess." The article of the National concludes as follows :-- "We should never finish if we were to examine in all its details, the long and indigestible report of M. de Bastard, and to show how all this grand scaffolding of conspiracy has been built upon the pretended disclosures of a wretch, who, upon his own con fession, became an assassin from fear, as he doubtlessly from fear has now became a denunciator. We think the Court of Peers will be weary and ashamed of the part which it is called upon to perform, and that it will disperse with a breath these phantoms of imaginary plots got up by an odious Ministry, in order to maintain itself in spite'of France and against France." The Commerce takes nearly the same view as the ,Na tional. We have room only for the following extract : " The extreme indifference with which the report of M. de Bastard has been received shows that the public mind is no longer to be worked upon by the phantasmagoria with which it has been continually terrified for the last ten years. There must be other and v v y different men from Quenisset and Boucheron to make us believe that society it in danger of or near convulsion. There are in France, as in all countries, turbulent and bad passions, which require to be watched, but when they are manifested in so absurd and impotent a manner, the danger is certainly not great." It was reported in Paris on Thursday that Prince METTERNICH had entirely approved of Louis PHILIPPE'S plan of an European Con gress to settle the affairs of Spain. There is sonic difficulty about Prussia, as that Power refuses to enter into the question at all, unless Don CAR- Los be first set at liberty. The Clermont papers state that the number of per sons in detention for participating in the late disturb ances there is 60, and that from 30 to 40 of them will be brought to trial. An extra Session of the Court of As sizes is to be held for this purpose. A female, aged 23, an inhabitant of one of the com munes of the Basses-Pyrenees, was lately brought to bed of three children, who are all living, and suckled by the mother. "A letter," says the Sentinelle of Bayonne, "has been found written by Montes de Oca to General O'Donnell, in which he says:—'This infamous town (Vittoria) has sold us: Its municipality has written to Zurbano that it wilt not resist, but will deliver me up. 'We must, there fore, abandon Vittoria, and take our departure this very night. We shall go to Bergara, where I hope your Ex cellency will join us ; for to-morrow the town will be occupied by 6 battalions and 300 horse, commanded by Aleson.' " A letter from Tabriz, in Persia, dated the 3d of Sep tember, in the Leipsic Gazette, says:—" The English Ambassador, Sir John M'Neil, has arrived here, and been received by the Shah in the most flattering manner. It is hoped that English influence will regain ground— that of France is entirely gone, and Russian influence is on the decline. General Damas is the only Frenchman who has arrived in Persia who has found means to:get into favour with the Shah. Some Lazarist Missionaries having lately resorted to violent means for the conversion of the infidels, it is believed that the Persian Govern ment will order the Lazarists and Jesuits out of the country, and the French Ambassador will find it diffi cult to prevent the order from being carried into exe cution." There was a rumour on Change (says the Courrier Francais) of the approaching dissolution of the Ministry. Some persons announced that M. Guizot and M. Hu mann would retire ; others contented themselves with saying that the Ministry was in such a state of dis organisation, that it could not survive the week. The Minister for Foreign Affairs is himself sensible of the necessity of a ministerial modification ; some say he has made overtures to Messrs. Dufaure and Pussy. The lesson has not been thrown away, only there are persons who, instead of striving to support M. Guizot, think they can exclude and supplant him.- Comsat/aimed. The mails from Havre, Bordeaux, Marseilles, and London, had not arrived this morning when we went to press. We never before had such a delay at this season as we have had within these few days. While corps of observation arc forming in the North and the South, the disarming of the coasts is commenced as a preliminary to disarming the fleet. We have already published some notices on the subject. To-day we find in the National de (Orient the following letter from Belle Isle en :leer of the 10th of November (the date is recent):— " The disarming has commenced to-day ; the De la Montagne has been disarmed. The soldiers of the gar rison are employed in removing the bombs and balls to the citadel. The soldiers who occupy the forts round the coasts are - to return immediately to the Ville de Palais, as the coast is not to be any longer guarded." We ask again what is the meaning of all these con tradictory proceedings? All the journals of the northern departments are still full of details of the movements of troops for the formation of the corps of observation. Wo should not be surprised to learn soon, from the same journals, that all these troops are moving in a con trary direction, and are returning to the places from which they came, for we are told that counter orders have been sent from Paris. It was said long ago Order and counter-order—disorder. This is surely the motto of our War Department. Who gains by all this? The army contractors of all kinds. But the Budget is swelled and useful public works arc delayed.—Continerre. The Gazette de France states that the cavalry of the corps darmee said to be now collecting on the north eastern frontier of France,is to form three brigades under Generals Letang, Bro, and Lanthonet. The Valenciennes papers say that six batteries of artillery have been ordered from Metz to that place. At Avesnes, the town has been so completely drained of troops, that the na tional guards have to do permanent duty. On the complaint of Messrs. Seveste and Co., paten tees of the theatres of the Banlieue, Messrs. Guyot and Sardon were yesterday brought before the Correctional Tribunal for opening a theatre at the Batignolles, without a license. The defendants suffered judgment by default, and were condemned to a month's imprisonment, and a fine of I,ooof. each, and also to pay 2,100 f. to Messrs Seveste and Co., as damages, with the liability to 200 f. more for every subsequent representation. At the same sitting, Messrs. Guyot and Sardon were again prosecuted for performing several pieces belonging to other theatres without leave, and were sentenced to pay 700 f. more as damages. President Debelleyne has prepared a statistic of the labours of the Tribunal de Premiere Instance, during the judicial term of 1840-1841. It exhibits important improvements in the despatch of business, and the im pulse given to its proceedings has produced the most beneficial results, although the number of causes has this last year been increased by 1,084. The number of judgments delivered was 10,294, and of orders issued by the President 25,717. The three Correctional Cham bers decided 11,663 cases, and the complaints dismissed amounted to 12,944. The number of criminal prosecu tions before the Tribunal exceeded those of the preced ing year by 4,830. " We learn from Bayonne," says the llioniteur Pa risien, " that a priest had been shot at Bilbao, by order of Zurbano ; that the Duke de Castro Torreno, formerly Minister of War, and now eighty years of age, had been arrested, but subsequently released ; and that the Regent published, on the 9th instant, a manifesto at Saragossa, severely condemning the occurrences at Barcelona, and denouncing prompt and severe punishment to the agi tators."—The Messager states that two French sail of the line, the Santi Petri and Ville de Marseille, arrived on the 12th hast e at Barcelona. The Regent was ex• pected there with fifteen battalions and some cavalry. The G btih a hee z acr e tt t ep t od e ur d dtno e ei . s v rthsh T mhe ribee aux states that Mme.

A considerable num ber of small vessels in the river were sunk, and much damage was done to chimneys and roofs in the city." The Journal la France hass-the following article : " The Journal la Presse, publishing the letter of Lord Aberdeen, triumphantly announces that the English troops are going to quit Syria. Our London corre spondent informed us in his last letter that Sir Stratford Canning, the new English Ambassador at Constanti nople, received, before he set out for his post, secret instructions from Lord Aberdeen. "The profits which tho'English merchants have ob tained by the occupation of Syria are considerable. English policy everywhere seeks commercial advantages, and everywhere, too, for these eleven years, France pays the cost." We can assure the Presse that on the Ist of November no order had been receited to evacuate St. Jean d'Acre, and that in spite of the promises of evacuation of which the English Cabinet is so lavish, the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre will not be evacuated either in November or in December or in January. We have these details from a Source so worthy of credit, that we do not fear posi tively to affirm their correctness. Events will not refute us. The Prase is therefore mistaken, and deceives itself in prematurely announcing the readiness of the English to evacuate Syria. The Sentinelk des Pyrenees says, "It is reported that Lieut.-General Harrispr, Commander of the Corps of Observation in the Western Pyrenees, is going to be re called, and will be succeeded by General Schramm. This news needs confirmation."—Commerce. _ The Spanish Government, as has been stated, has en tered into a treaty . for paying, through its legation in Paiis, the arrears due to the French Auxiliary Legion, by instalments, the last of which is to be remitted by the month of July, 1843. The first remittance of 150,000 f. having arrived, notice is given that it will be distributed in the following manner. On -the 20th inst., there will be paid at the Spanish Legation, No. 34, Rue de la Vic toire, one half of the elainis, either to the parties en titled producing their documents in person ; or to their duly authorised representatives. All soldiers whose claims do not exceed 50f. will be paid in Ml. " It was while the Abbe Cottret, late Bishop of Beau vais," says the Gazette de France, ." conducted this journal against the cause of usurpation, that M. de Jouy, the Liberal, came during the Hundred Days, and laid a baton on the editor's table, in order to take possession of the place. The Abbe, in presence of suck an argument as this, retired, and did nut resume his pea and the edi torship of the paper until the King's return. It was also under his editorship that Napoleon, who was displeased with an article contained in the Gazette, but which had, nevertheless, passed under the eyes of thel censors, sent some masons to the office of the paper to put plaster over the types. This was how the liberty of the press was understood in those days." A Constantinople correspondent of the Quotidiennc asserts that, when the Sultana Valide sent to Lady Pon sonby the magnificent set of diamonds as a present, the presents for the ladies of Baron Sturmer, Count Kfcnigs mark and Count Titoff, were of less value. "As soon," it says, " as the Baron Sturmer, the Austrian Internun cio, ascertained this, he ordered the present sent to his lady to be returned to the Sultana with an expression of his dissatisfaction at being put upon the same foot ing with the representatives of Russia and Prussia — Powers who,' he observed, had concurred only mo rally in the expedition against the Viceroy of Egypt, while Austria had spent the blood of her soldiers and ventured the life of one of the Imperial Princes. They ought not therefore to be confounded in the same testi monies of acknowledgment, but the Baroness Sturmer should be made the object of particular distinction.' The Sultana on being made acquainted with this incident, made a new choice of jewels from the Treasury, and sent them to Baroness Sturmer."

Colonel FuLaosto, and the other of a priest at Bilbao, by order of the remorseless Brigadier-General MARTIN ZURBANO. The ecclesiastic, whose name was ZAVALA, was a guerilla chief, and therefore had in some sort divested himself of the priestly cha racter, as well as functions. General SOANE had been appointed to succeed VAN HALEN as Captain-General of Catalonia; and on the 9th the REGENT published a decree, energetically con demning the proceedings at Barcelona, and threatening to punish' their-authors.- The instant ' this missive reached its destination, the Junta took fright, and the members at once fled to France. It was rumoured in Paris that the Go vernment had received despatches stating that ESPARTERO had entered Barcelona, and that the city was perfectly tranquil. THE HUMANITY OF MODERN LEGISLATION.— The poor were wont •to have little carts drawn about by dogs, and we well remember that an armless man, whose industry and neatness we long admired, had a nice team. They always barked with satisfaction at their work, and seemed to be well-fed and kindly treated. When the time approached that dogs were no longer to be used by the orders of the Legislature, we saw that this poor man had provided himself with a Shelly. We presume his trade did not pay for the additional expense, and now the pony we see is gone ; and the armless man, assisted by a girl, probably his daughter, a healthy, cheertul looking being withal, drag their little cart through the mud themselves. They must not go on the pavement—they must not employ dogs, and so they are obliged to do, in this severe weather, dogs' work themselves. So the humane legislator interferes to protect dumb animals from painful toil, and dooms the young females of the human specie to perform those tasks which are supposed to drive dogs mad ! 'We regret to state that the police have corn menced anew their crusade against publicans for allowing customers to remain in their houses after twelve o'clock on Saturday night. Three were fined on Friday at Marlborough-street police-office, though in no case was it proved, or attempted to be proved, that , refreshment had been served after that hour; Several Magis trates have decided that the if it applies at all, can apply only to the furnishing of liquors, but Mr. Hardwick, who appears to be a disciple of the Agnewite school, ruled otherwise, and punished the defendants with all the relentless severity of this unfeeling sect. When will the publicans unite for their own protection against the spies that infest their houses ? We understand that the Princess Royal has lately been suffering slightly from the effects of dentition. But, notwithstanding the fact that the Princess has but seven or eight teeth, she has thus far passed through that which is fre quently one of the severest ordeals of infancy, and its only effect has been to make her a little thinner.--Observer. [Why does not our fa shionable Contemporary, who knows all the movements in the Palace, give us some more in ' formation on these interesting topics? We should like to know whether the Princess ' Royal can speak, and what she thinks of her Royal brother the Duke of Cornwall. The story about seven or -eight teeth, and dentition, and the severest ordeals of infancy, and the thinness of the Royal sufferer, any one could tell.] Extract of a letter front .Alexandria, 26th ult., in the Malta Times:—"Thero is no political news stirring. Ibrahim Pacha left Cairo as soon as his father arrived. It is said his Highness was in a bad humour on finding the TreasUry empty. -He is about to put all his offiCers on hal f pay, and at the same time to keep them employed in some way. We understand that Mehemet Ali has given orders fora general change of uniform and ree ' imentals, according to the fashion o f t h e S u ltan ; but he has begged his kind master to allow him individually to continue the dress which he has been accustomed to wear during his life. Several European tailors have been already employed by contract in the Arsenal. The Nile has been higher this year than last, and the country (not withstanding the embankments had been much raised) has been overflowed to a great extent. Many planta- tions of cotton, and fields of Indian corn , wer e under water.

FOREIGN. The Queen Dowager of Bavaria, Frederica Wilhel • mina Carolina, died at Munich, of a eomplaint in the chest, on the 13th instant. Her Majesty; who was daughter of Prince Charles Louis of Baden, and niece of the present Grand Duke, Was born on the 13th July, 1776, and consequently was in her 66th year, leaving five children—Elizabeth Louisa, Queen of Prussia ; Amelia Augusta, married to Prince John, brother of the King of Saxony; Frederica Sophia Dorothea, married to the Archduke Francis of Austria; Maria Anna Leo poldina, Queen of Saxony • and Louis Wilhelmina, con sort of Duke Maximilian Saxony; of Bavaria. The following is said, by the Debats, to be the in tended composition of the brigades of infantry and cavalry, for the corps d'arrnee now forming on the Belgian frontier:—" General Bourckhoultz is to com mand the first brigade of infantry, which is to com prise a battalion of the 23d light, two battalions of the 40th, and two of. the 46th of the line. General Galinier is to command the second brigade of in fantry, composed of one battalion of the 14th light, two of the 28th, and two of the 71st of the line. The head-quarters of these two brigades is to be at Lille. General Bro is to command a brigade composed of three battalions of the 42d of the line, four squadrons of the 10th Chasseurs, and four squadrons of the Bth Cuirassiers. His head-quarters are to be at Valenciennes. General Letang is to command the first brigade of cavalry, comprising four squadrons of the 2d Lancers, and four of the 2d Dragoons. The second brigade of cavalry is to be under General Lanthonnet, and will comprise four squadrons of the Ist Carbineers, and four of the 4th Cuirassiers. The head-quarters of these two last brigades is to be at Lille." In 1837, a family of vine-dressers from the valley of Rheingau, in the Duchy of Nassau, composed of nine teen persons, emigrated to Sydney with the object of introducing there the principal sorts, of Rhenish wines. According to the latest accounts received, the enterprise has succeeded beyond expectation, and these German colonists have already made more than 3,500 gallons (15,800 bottles) of wine. The quality, according to samples which have been sent home, although not quite equal to the Rhenish wine, is excellent, and the differ ence is not easily distinguished. The Captain of a vessel, arrived at Bordeaux from Monte Video, which he left on September I, reports that as he was getting under weigh the cannon announced the death of General Fructuoso Riveira, President of the Republic Uruguay. The war with Buenos Ayres was still going on. A letter from Singapore, 4th September, mentions the arrival of the French frigate Erigone, Captain Cecile, from Rio de Janeiro, having on board Colonel Dubois de Gencigny. She found orders to proceed to Manilla and Macao, where the Colonel is to obtain and trans mit to the Government an account of the state of affairs in China, and make advances towards a commercial treaty with the Celestial Empire. His mission is said to be limited to two years. The Presse makes two great blunders in its news.. First, it denies that Sir Stratford Canning is going to Constantinople, and gives his destination as Vienzia ; and, secondly, it asserts that a Treaty of Commerce had been signed between Spain and England. The Presse is wrong in both statements. Colonel Don Damaso Fulgosio's execution took place at Madrid on the I Ith, at half-past one o'clock. He proceeded in full uniform, in an open carriage, accom panied by his friends and a clergyman, but seemed very much dejected, though attempting to bear up manfully ; the parting scene with his brother had quite overpowered him. The Havre Journal tells a story of a Cherbourg sloop, the Amiable Desiree, having been seized by the English Custom-house officers when discharging brandy near the coast. The officers got on board, sent some of the smugglers ashore, and were securing the sloop and cargo when a storm arose and blew the sloop from its anchors out to sea. It at last blew the sloop ashore, on the French coast, near St. Waast. The French count on an exchange of prisoners in this case. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post, returning to its favourite theme, abuse of the Opposition Press, remarks:—" We do not stop to notice the string of ridiculously overstrained ex pressions by which the Whig-Radical journalist seeks to persuade its readers that the present distress is more severe, more extensive, and more permanent than ever existed before. We have been sickened by the same phrases at intervals . for the last forty years, that is tosay, during a period in which the manufacturingtand commer cial prosperity of Great Britain made.advances inyros perity wholly without example in the: history of natn;kns." —We can readily imagine that the Post is " sickened" with the frequent references to the distressed state of the country, which the Liberal Journals, in the discharge of their duty, are compelled ,to make. Our Contem porary's fine sense of gentility must revolt at the details of squalid destitution—must shrink with loathing from the idea of a Paisley weaver, with scarce a rag on his back, or an ounce of bread in his possession! But truth is truth, and must, and shall be told, however it may shock the susceptible Post. So fai 'from diminishing, the distress of the operatives in the manufacturing dis tricts is daily increasing; and, as if this were not enough, Ministers treat the matter with the most supercilious indifference, and hope to console the destitute working classes by coolly telling them to wait the advent of better times !, , Alluding to its pet-hobby, the New Poor-law, the Times makes the. following observations :—" When in the late Session of Parliament the propriety of abolish ing the Poor-law Commission was under discussion, various boards of guardians remonstrated against that step, expressly on the ground that they did not wish their own responsibilities to be increased. It is of all things most contrary to the true policy of laws for the relief of the poor toextinguish, or deaden, in this manner, the sense of moral responsibility in the parties to whom the actual ad ministration of relief is confided. Under a system which aims, like the present, at a reduction of the cost of re lief, such a distribution of power must inevitably lead to gross oppression. The Commissioners issue harsh orders without remorse, because they do not come in contact with the sufferings which they occasion ; the boards of guardians and their satellites execute them with equal apathy, because they are not responsible for them. Thus a harsh administrative character is formed for which, even in its excesses, the system itself is mainly accountable." The Chronicle, speculating on the nature of Sir Ro bert Peel's remedial measures, says :—" What the plans of Sir Robert Peel may be, when Parliament meets, may not yet be known even to the Right Hon. Baronet himself. To judge from his Revenue Commission, be in tends to promote a reform of that part of our Custom house legislation which relates to its collection, and very probably, also, he intends to improve its cumbersome and antique regulations. That will be a good and wholesome work—a necessary accompaniment of a modification of the Corn-laws. To judge, also, from common, report, Sir Robert Peel intends to bring for yard a general and comprehensive scheme of national emigration. * That, also, will be a good and wholesome deed—a very appropriate and very fitting accompaniment of a modi fication of the Corn-laws. And were he to go a step further, and devise some plan by which the Bank of England would be effectually checked in playing tricks with the currency, that also would be an excellent con trivance, and prove to be a necessary and salutary com panion to a modification of the Corn-laws."--These, though well enough in their way, are at best but secondary measures ; first and foremost should be a repeal of the Corn-laws, which is the grievance that now most severely presses on the commercial energies of the people. Let Sir Robert Peel, then, begin with the beginning in his Reforms, and first consider the question of this grind ing impost ; his other measures can afford to wait until this paramount one is disposed of. We quote the foll Owing from the _Herald :—" The state of public feeling on the subject of slavery in the southern States of the great American repuhlic, is, if indeed that be possible, even more degraded than,that in the Brazilian empire. The Brazilians would—at least in profession—tolerate free blacks ; . the southern Ame ricans will not. Black freedom south of Maryland is a privilege practically unknown. We ask the public to peruse an extract to be found in another column, from a New Orleans Journal, and then decide what must be the condition of public morality in Louisiana, which can tolerate, much more spnpathise, in the publication of such brutal, sentiments. The writer demands legislation that every free negro in the state be driven from our .borders as a pest, as a plague ;' that the law of South Carolina, imprisoning every free black landing in:the State, be extended t o his . . State;:that it be rendered iinlawfoljto employ free blacks as menials on board ships or steamers navigating. Louis ianian waters; that emancipation. be prohibited in the State, unless the manumitted person be at once sent thereout; and that no black be .permitted to. hold pro perty. Drive them from us,' he adds ; speaking of free blacks, it is our only means of salvation !' The mon ster—for to use ordinary language in speaking of such a writer would be affectation, hypocrisy, and injustice— gloats over the prospect that when the State Legisla ture next meets, our whole free negro policy will. be changed."' The Plymouth Journal, speaking of Lord John Rus sell's late reception in that town says :—" The living impersonation of his party is Lord John Russell. He was a man born to high personal honour—of a noble fa mily—with the blood of some of the best patriots that have adorned this country in his veins, cool, wary, wise, one to be trust e d by hi s friends—to be dreaded by his enemies. A man that success could not unduly elate, or disappointment baffle. Early in life he took his stand on the side of the people—on that side which his family had befriended with their name and influence, from the days of the Stuarts downwards. He took his stand, and he maintained it." On the subject of the Maynooth grant, the Dublin Evening Post makes the following remarks :—" That Sir Robert Peel regards the question as one of a very embarrassing, nature we are well convinced •, and we feel persuaded that he will endeavour to get rid of it by one of those pieces of dexterity which he has been in the habit of resorting to upon all occasions of difficulty. The present • miserable annual grant he will not refuse ; on the contrary, we think, he will profess the greatest anxiety to meet the views of the Prelates, as expressed in their memorial. But he will talk very plau sibly of the necessity of removing the prejudices excited against the system of education in the College of May nooth, by an official inquiry, and, if it should appear ne cessary, by a revision. In fine, Sirßobert Peel will pro mise a great deal, contingent upon a change, to be effected by a Commission of Inquiry—a Commission eotxiposed of Tories and Orangemen, to. regulate the education of the clergy of the Catholics of Ireland.' The Durham Chronico thus alludes to the present cis,, tresses of the country :—" In the late Session of Parlia ment, Sir Robert Peel ' dished up' his case against the alleged distress of the country by an artful and dis ingenuous reference to the amount of Savings' Banks Deposits. The state of the merchants' accounts with • the Bank of England is a much better crite rion.' of the present condition of the whole public industry of the country ; and has neither received, 'tog ,iseapable of receiving, a satisfactory answer. The public prints, up to the present hour, teem with statements of the dreadful sufferings, and the all but absolute starva tion, of the manufacturing population, enough to wring the most callous heart." The Leicester Mercury says :—" There are indications that Sir Robert Peel will endeavour to put a stop to all substantial Reform, by buying . over, as far as possible, he leading men of various parties.", MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. At a meeting of the Shareholders of the British Iron Company, held on Friday at the London Tavern, the Report, read by Sir G. Larpent, Bart., for the half-year ending June 30, stated that the total quantity of iron raised was 25,578 tons, steel 40 tons, and that of coal, stone, &c. 9,682 tons, on which the total profit was 7,1471., leaving, after various payments, a balance of profit of only 2711.145. Besides this, the payments for inte rest, law charges, &c., absorbed the sum of 14,4171. 12s. The Spring•knife Cutlers held a meeting on Tuesday last, in Sheffield, when upwards of 1,000 cutlers were present. Resolutions were passed to the intent that an immediate organization of the body should take place, so as to form an union, thereby to put down the ruinous competition, and sustain prices. COMMERCIAL REFORM. The inhabitants of the Liberty of the Rolls held an adjourned meeting on Friday evening, in Chancery-lane; for the purpose of forming an Anti-Corn-law Associa tion for the district, and a Committee was accordingly constituted. ECCLESIASTICAL. Mr. Harris, of Alford, Lincolnshire, a talented Dis senting preacher, has added another convert to th. Romish faith. As an independent preacher, he for a number of years inveighed against " the horrors of Popery," and denounced the doings of Catholics as mad ness itself. He is reported to have lately had corre spondence with Mr. Sibthorp. His chapel is now closed, ELECTIONEERING. Above one hundred Reformers of Hull attended the dinner to celebrate the return of the two Reform can didates at the election. NAVAL, AND MILITARY. The West India steam-fleet is rapidly assembling at the port of Greenock, and will soon make a splendid display in the Southampton River. Fourteen of them will shortly have arrived, all of them the property of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, from the Clyde, Tweed, Solway, Thames, and Mersey. • On Tuesday her Majesty's ship Illustrious, 72 guns Commander Erskine, sailed from Portsmouth, with the Right Hon. Sir Charles Begot, the newly-appointed Go vernor, and suite, for America. Captain Bushell, of the Britannia, on his way from Dever to Boulogne, on Monday last, fell in with two very large whales, and was obliged to alter his course to prevent the vessel being swamped by one of them. LAW AND POLICE. The case of peisoning attuttonllLimen further in vestigated, and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" returned against the wife and daughter of Thomas Johnson, the deceased. At Worship-street, on Friday, William Elder, a*oiit young man, was charged with begging. It apptiiked that he was dressed like a sailor with his arm bandaged, and solicited alms, telling a pitiful story about his having fallen from the mast and crushed his precious limb. He admitted when arrested that his sailor's dress and ban daged arm were mere disguise, but he could get no work, and must do something to live. The Magistrate sent him to work at the treadmill for a month. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The 'Marquis of Breadalbane was re-elected by the students of Glasgow, as Lord Rector of the College, on Friday last. Mr. Bennett, the Dissenting minister who died lately in Sheffield, was the son of a grinder in that town. He was for some time missionary in the Pacific ; Islands, and also at Madagascar, where he was present at the funeral of King Radama, remarkable for its dis play of barbaric splendour. SPORTING. Lord Rivers, who some weeks back met with a serious accident while hunting with the East Sussex hounds, has so far recovered as to be able to leave his room. COURT-FASHIONABLE. On Tuesday, the 16th inst., was marriedat Castlebel lingham, John Butler Clarke Southwell Wandesforde, Esq., of Castlecomer, county Kilkenny, to. Emily Selina Frances, youngest daughter of John M'Clintock, Esq., of Drumcar, county Louth, and Lady Eliz. M'Clintock. We understand - that the winter season at Brighton promises to be very brilliant in point of rank and gaiety. The Earl and Countess of Beverley leave Portman square to-day, on a visit to Lord and Lady Hatherton, in Staffordshire. Viscount Melbourne has left town for his residence, Melbourne Hall, Derby. . . . Lord and Lady Munster have arrived in Paris. Viscountess Keith has returaed to Piccadilly for the season. . , The Earl „and Countess of Chesterfield returned to Bretby Park on. Saturday. InISCEX I X,ELN'EOLTS. A Morning Paper states that the " Lord Mayor of Dublin attended the Castle Levee in his carriage, accom panied by the Board of Aldermen."--It must have been an extraordinary . carriage that could have contained, and still. more extraordinary horses that could have drawn such aw' r astonishing amount of heavy luggage ! The Board of Aldermen should have been conveyed in a broad4heele'd waggon built expressly for the occasion. As incendiarism seems fast becoming the rage in the Metropolis, it is to be hoped that Mr. Peter Borthwick will not take it into his head to set the Thames on fire ! He is fully capable of such an act. At the second day's sale of the late Mr. Theodore Hook's library, the Marquis of Londonderry's large quarto " Narrative of the Peninsular . Campaign," was knocked down at eight shillings. This is an enormous price, considering the literary value of the work in question. A fourpenny piece would have been handsome. Duncan Munro, the oldest tenant on the Argyll estate, died in the 108th year of his age, on the Bth instant, at his farm near Inverary, which he and his forefathers have possessed for above 300 years. His eldest daughter is 80, and his youngest son alive upwards of 70. A Turkish advertisement in the Djeridee Savadis runs thus :—" For sale, a black female ;lave, who is unique for playing the fiddle, lute, mandina, and dulcimer ; and is, moreover, a beautiful dancer . Price 3,000 piasters (about 271. sterling). Apply," &c. This is the anniversary of the martyrdom of Saint Cecilia, who was stifled to death by shutting out the air of a bath. She is the Saint of Holy Melody, and when Stationers' Hall was rebuilt, after the fire of Lon don, a solemn annual festival was held there yearly. For the celebration of this solemnity Purcell composed his 're Deem and Jubilate, and Dryden, Pope, and others, their Odes. COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday was the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Royal. Their Royal Hignesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess Sophia paid congratulatory visits to her Majesty, at Buckingham Palace, during the day.

" D. DAVIES, M.D. " Sudbury Hall, Nov. 20, 1841." VIOLENT STORM IN SOUTHERN ITALY.-- NAPLES, OCT. 30.—The English brig Condor, Captain Boyes, arrived in the Gulf, after a passage of 42 days, from London, having on board a cargo of sugar, indigo, &c., value 18,0001. Between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of the 28th she anchored before the harbour, being prevented entering it by violent and adverse winds. The storm raged throughout the whole night in the most fearful manner; and on the morning of the 29th the heavy sea increasing placed the ship in obvious danger. 600 ducats were offered to any of the steam-ves sels lying in the harbour if they would try to save the ship, but none would venture out. The captain still hoped that his three anchors would enable him to resist the storm; but, alas ! this hope vanished, when about four o'clock in the afternoon two of the anchors had yielded to the fury of the waves, and the third (the sheet anchor) was not expected to resist long. The ship was at the mercy of the waves, and was in imminent danger of being pieces upon the neighbouring rocks, when, b y tt dashed adroit to manoeuvre, the captain succeeded in running her ashore, thus fortunately escaping total destruction. At ten o'clock at night all on board were in safety. Three American ships-of-war, the frigate Brandywine, of 60 guns, together with three corvettes, commanded by Commoder Geissinger, and also a French ship-of-war, fortunately remained in the roads. All the vessels in the harbour have suffered more or less damage.
