THE CORN LAWS AN]) COMMERCIAL REFORM. formed part of the deputation which came to London, as a deputation for their distressed townsmen, in 1837, and ' both of them sho u ld b e good judges of the truth of t h e the statements they have set forth : After setting forth in general terms the deplorable condition of the Paisley operatives, and fervently impor tuning a revisal o f t h e whole British Commercial Co d e, and deprecating th e e ff ects of delay any longer so to do, the subjoined clau ses f o ll ow, parti cularizing the distress of Renfrewshire, G reenock, Johnston, &e.:— " May it plea se your Majesty,—While all of us are personally and officially connecte d w i t h a manu f actur i ng community, several o f us are also very much interested in the condition of the agricultural and landed interests, and we would press it on your Majesty's serious consi deration that the landed interests are beyond question vitally concerned in the commercial prosperity of the country, and in the securing of the means of a comfort able subsistence to those masses of industrious operatives in such large communities as this, who form the best customers for a gr i cu l tural and dairy produce, and without whom the pasture and arabte lands in our vicinity would be of comparatively little value. Indeed, the whole of Re:tfrewshire may be sa'd to fo rm a teeming population dependent on manufactures an d commerce a nd the exten sion of machin er y an d public works ur all kinds, not only to Greeno c k, hi t h erto an entirely commerc i a l town, but to many of th e country districts where the ad vantages of water poxer are enjoyed, cannot but ren der all commercial questions doubly interesting to our people, while it demonstrates the impolicy of separating from one another the kindred interests of agriculture and manufactures. We may also notice to your Ma jesty another very ominous feature in the present state of our community, that whereas a short time ago it was ex . remely difficult to find any number of families ready tCt.emigrate to other, lands, of 41ite- the smiler of emi grant I:)cieties in Paisley, composed not of aged and decayed persons, but of respectable and able-bodied men, has rapidly multiplied, and the reason assigned by every one of their members, without exception, is the inability of a poor working man, kowever inclined, to provide his family with the bare necessaries of life. _ _ spect to the Corn-laws, on which subject he took it they were that day assembled.—(Hear, hear.) But from what had passed at the re-elections of several Members of the Government, it was much to be apprehended that at the end of five months the Ministers would not bring forward any measure which the country might think would afford sufficient relief from the present unwise, im politic, and unjust Corn-laws.—(Hear.) He could not ' believe that the heads of the Government were aware of the real distress existing in the country—nor would he believe that if they were, they would hesitate to bring before Parliament some Bill fur the admission of foreign corn into the country before they could deliberately dis cuss the question ; but the time was not distant, he be lieved, when the Ministers would be aware of the state of the present crops, which at that moment was only known to a few. But it was daily gaining; credence that the crop was as small if not much smaller than in any year since 1816. He spoke as a person interested in the trade—he had spared no pains nor expense to obtain correct intelligence, and he found that the further the farmers got into their crops the worse they found them. He thought they were met there as Englishmen, irre spective of politics—(Hear, hear)—and he should con sequently throw all political feeling overboard. It appeared to him that the opinion of her Majesty's Government was, that before the whole of the grain which had been recently admitted iuto the country would ha consumed, the country would be able to use its own corn and no more foreign grain be required. The fact was, how ever, the contrary, for from a failure in the great growing counties it was doubtful from whence the. supply could be got to make good the deficiency, unless prices became so high as seriously to lessen consumption. Much of the new wheat was either too damp to use at present, or unfit; and whilst it was selling as low as 50s. per quar ter, fine foreign was worth nearly 80s. per quarter—so that the poor man must eithet.use very bad bread, or pay a price for good, which his wages were unequal to. Mr. Fox also referred to the wages of the poor man remaining stationary, whilst prices of flour fluctuated from 10s. or 203. per sack. The duty, now 2s. Bd., would soon be 20s. Bd., which amounted to a prohibition. It was the opinion of many that the low duty would be again brought about to meet the consumption of the people ; but was it not most unjust to be constantly kept in this see-saw way ?—(Hettf, hear.) He considered it a mon strous evil to delay fur five months an inquiry into the present system, which ought to made in less than five days.—(Hear, hear.) Perniciously as the system had worked, he believed that its operation for the next six months would still be more so. Mr. Fox then moved the second resolution. " Nor is it the operative part of our people only that are suffering' under the present (1,-pression. May it please your Majesty—out of fourteen cotton factories in one district of our locality, one half are shut up; and as the town of Johnston mainly .depends • on cotton-spin ning, the distress there has been greatly increased in consequence. Other factories of the same description, of which there are many in our town and county, are going upon half time, and such as are kept up at full work by their owners are sustaining a very heavy loss. In this way proprietors as well as labourers are suffering under the pressure of the times, arid thus the ability to keep the distressed poor is diminished, and is rapidly diminishing every day. The bankruptcies of late, in this place, have been. to the unprecedented number of nearly forty houses, and .the money invested in them amounts to nearly 700,60 C/. Nor can we believe that the present distressed condition of our manufacturers is only temporary. For years past there have been un doubted symptoms of decline, while at present the pros pect is more gloomy than ever. M a y it please your Ma jesty, the time is past for concealing, or attempting to conceal, the disease which is consuming the vitals of our national strength." The petition then closes with importuning her Majesty not to allow the patience of her people to be further .tampered with, for fear of disorganization and distur bance, and concludes with the customary prayer. SLATEFORD. S43IIIEL D.Eurti seconded the resolution, and said his feelings were so overcome by the heart stirring facts which had fallen from Mr. Fox, that it was with diffi culty he could find words to express his sentiments. A more fearful position could not possibly be presented to them, and he would charitably hope with Mr. Fox, that the Government could not be aware of the distress which existed in the country, and which was likely to extend throughout the nation. On the motion of Mr. GIBBON a Committee was ap pointed to draw up and address her Majesty, praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to continue the deliberations of Parliament until measures be adopted for securing to her people the most plentiful. supply of food at a cheap rate, and thus conduce to the general interest of the whole community. The address was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting separated.—(From the Plymouth Journal of Thurslay.) The members of Colinton and Slateford Anti-Corn-law Association, held a meeting on Saturday last, and agreed to memoralise her Majesty. The memorial is forwarded by this post to W. G. Craig, Member for the city of Edinburgh, for presentation. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. LIVERPOOL. THURSDAY MORNING.—A requisition to the Mayor, requesting him to call a public meeting to memorialize the Queen not to prorogue Parliament, signed by above 3,500, has been fixed for Saturday evening, at seven o'clock, in the Amphitheatre, by the Mayor. ANTI-CORN-LAW OPERATIVE SOCIETY.—On Friday evening a meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Operative As sociation was held in the Music Hall, Liverpool. The time announced for commencing business was half-past seven, at which time the hall was densely crowded. After several good speeches from the Chairman and some ope ratives, resolutions in conformity with the object of the meeting were carried amidst enth u si as ti c cheering.—Li verpool-Chronicle. GREAT MEETING OF THE WORKING CLASSES. . EXETER, SEPT. 28.—A public meeting of the working classes and inhabitants generally was convened by the Working Men's Association, and held at the Subscrip tion Rooms yesterday. About 1,000 persons attended, although the night was exceedingly inclement, and the rain fell in torrents. W. Wilkinson, Esq., formerly Mayor of the city, presided. Mr. SHEEHAN, a member of the Working Men's As sociation, moved the first resolution. The Rev. Dr. PAYNE was received with great cheer ing. He said lam here to-night in the character of a visitor. I heard with great satisfaction that the work ing men of this large and populous City are manifest ing the deepest sympathy with their fellow brethren all over the world, and .1 wish to join them in a meeting of that kind.—(Hear, hear.) Ido not know, Sir, that I can more properly introduce the few remarks that I intend to make ti this meeting, than by quoting the words of a very famous, if I may not add a very distin guished man. As it is of importance to quote that lan guage with accuracy, I will take care to do so. That Lieguage is as follows :—" The Paramount duty of every Government is attention to the interests of the community, of which the labouring population must form a great majority. The right of property is instituted not for the good of the few who possess wealth and honours, but the many who have them not. If the majority be deeply injured, the public peace is in dan ger ; if the majority be in want of bread, private pro perty becomes a nuisance."—(great cheering.) Sir, these last words are very strong ones—perhaps I should have hesitated to have expressed them myself, but as they are the words of another, the responsibility d oes not rest upon me, but u p on that other. That gentleman is one of her Majesty's present Ministers—(Cheering)— one of the monopoly Ministers—no less a man than Sir James Graham himself.—(Great cheering.) I do feel, however, and that I am ready to stand forward and say, that the permanent duty of every Government is atten tion to the interests of the community, of w hick the labouring population form a great majority. That feel ing has brought me hither to-night. I know that the great body of the labouring population of this country are in a state of the greatest suffering, and I felt that it became me as a citizen, as a minister of the gospel of Christ, to come and express the deep sympathy I feel for them under their present pri vations.—(Loud cheers.) I believe, Sir, with Sir James Graham, that the public peace is in great danger—l believe that the present is a time of greater peril to the country than any which the oldest man in this assembly has ever witnessed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) I know, Sir, that tens of hundreds, and tens of thousands, of oir fellow -countrymen want bread.—(Hear, hear.) I know that many are eating grains and potato peelings, and I dread—l acknowledge that I contemplate with affright and alarm the deeds of violence which the worst of all rebellions—as it has been somewhat fercibly and empha tically said—the rebellion of thq belly, and gaunt po verty and reckless despair, goaded on by disappointed lop •—may perpetrate, if that consideration should be *delayed till February.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Sir, if the Government of this country can do anything to allevi ate the pressure upon the labouring part of the commu nity, they are clearly bound to do it—not to do in Fe bruary, but to do it now—(Hear, hear)—for who would venture to take the responsibility which . must rest upon them—the responsibility of the delay ? When the employmert for the poor is not half sufficient to meet the demand of the labourer, and his sufferings are conse quently increasing, and when hundreds and thousands are wanting bread —under these circumstances, I do say that the country has a right to say to the Government-- for we ought at all times to recollect that the country does not exist for the Government, but the Government for the country—(Checrs).the country has a right to say to the Government, You must not prorogue Parlia ment until the state of the country has undergone your most anxious and most deliberate attention. Sir, it is to me one of the most frightful features of the present time that there is a diminished confidence on the part of the poor in the kindly feelings of the rich—a diminished confidence on the part of the poor. in the Government and Legislature of the country to consult their interests in political measures and movements. A conviction is, I fear, pervading the great body of the people, that legislation in England 'has but one eye, and that eye is constantly fixed upon the rich and the great.— (Cries of " Ilear, hear," and loud cheers.) A con viction is pervading the body of the people,_ that the aristocracy, that th e G overnment and the Legislature generally, or rather that the extensive landowners, are sighing after their long-lost feudal privileges ; that they hate commerce, b ecause i t has destroyed predal slavery, and converted the serf attached to the soil into a Briton and a free man.—(Cheers.) I do not say that this is my opinion. I believe better of human nature. Ido not think it possible for men to withhold their sympathy from the suffering part of the population, if the state of the country were known and believed ; but I fear that that state is not known—l fear that there is the averted eye, the incredulous ear, and the unbelieving heart. I believe that there should be no legislation for a class— (Hear, hear)—that the Government ought not to legis late for one class against another ; therefore I should object to a protective duty even against the rich in favour of the poor ; but when that system is reversed—when there is a protective duty in favour of the rich against the poor—when it goes to take the pittance from the latter to swell the riches of the former—(Hear, hear) — when it goes to interfere with the free exchange of labour—l say that it is so monstrous, that the nation should rise as one man, with one voice, and demand that the blot should be wiped away.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. BESLEY moved the adoption of a memorial to the Queen, which he read to the meeting. Mr. STANDLAKE, a member of the working class, se conded the memorial, which was unanimously agreed to. The Rev. 11. ACTON rose, and after some preliminary observations, said, addressing himself to the Working Men's Association —You complain, and to me, it ap pears, very justly, of the intimation which the present Prime Minister has given that he does not intend to bring forward this important question for five months —not in the present Session of Parliament. Gentlemen, I scarcely knew how decently to express myself on this subject. I scarcely know how to characterise this pro position of Sir Robert Peel. I call it a cheat, and a most shameful cheat, on the country.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Most of us who have read the news papers must remember what Sir Robert Peel stated. He said that he thought a dissolution ought to take place im mediately, and that there should be no delay, because the country would be very anxious to have the Parlia ment meet together again to know the decision on the questions brought forward by the late Government, and that the commercial world might be relieved from the embarrassment of uncertainty. Well, all this has taken place, the dissolution was immediate, there was not a single hour lost ; and there was no blame to be attached to the late Government for not calling the Parliament together ngain when elected. Well, then, when Sir R. Peel is there with the Parliament newly called together,aud has such a majority as enables him to do what he wishes —does he bring forward thesequestions ? He does not. Gentlemen, I know not what course of policy the present Government may be disposed to adopt next February. Some persons think they will bring forward a modifica tion of the very measures they have opposed. Ido not expect anything.of the kind. I rather expect it to be a contrary course, by which they will soon cause them selves to be driven from office.—(Hear, hear.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by reading the resolution that the memorial be sent to Mr. Divett for presens tation, &c. Mr. lIAMLYN, in rising to second the resolution, said that he stood in a singular position, as he was not an in habitant of the town, and was a landlord.—(Hear.) He hoped he should not be the worse received for that. He was a landlord—but he hoped and trusted this had never influenced him in his conduct on the Corn qnes tion. He was happy to say that in the neighbourhood whore lie lived he did not believe any parishes had sent up petitions in favour of it.—(Hear, hear.) The real truth was, that his agricultural friends had not given that attention to it which they ought to have done, for if they did they would not have talked of its being a protection to the farmer.—(Hear, hear.) I grant (said the Hon. Gentleman) that it may be something to the landlord, but it is a very uncomfortable protection when he hears that there is a starving nation.—(Hear, bear.) The landlord forgets this, thati if we lose, the manufac turer we shall lose the best customer we have ; if we do not fail in corn we shall fail in horn. The deuce a bit of wool can we get rid of when manufactures are de pressed.—(Hear, hear.) The point which ought to be discussed is whether the Corn-law is beneficial to the public. The Hon. Gentleman seconded the resolution, and sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Thinks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing dispersed. - DISTRESS IN PAISLEY. w e insert the chief part of a copy of a petition to the Queen on the subject which was agreed to at the meeting of ministers of all denominations, held at Paisley on Monday. From that petition, it will be observed that the appalling statements of distress made by Mr. Stewart, the Member for Renfrewshire, on the evening referred to, are f u lly borne out ; and it :is also proper to add that amongst the ministers of Paisley who were present and agreed to the subjoined document, were Dr. Burns, who had been for thirty years a parish minister there, and the Rev. Dr. Baird, who has been settled in Paisley,not short far of twenty years, both of these gentlerilen • KETTERING. Petitions have been sent from this place to both Houses of Parliament, signed by upwards of 900 per sons, for free trade and a repeal of the Corn-laws ; that to the Lords by Earl Fitzwilliam ; to the Commons by the Honourable G. Wentworth Fitzwilliam. A memo rial is in course of signature, to be presented to the Queen. This is decidedly an agricultural district, but several petitions are in course of signature from the villages, against these unjust laws. ST. PAUL, DEPTFORD. Last night a meeting of the rate-payers of this parish was held at Addey's school, in Church -street, to con sider the propriety of petitioning the Queen not to pro rogue Parliament. The petition being seconded and carried without a dissentient voice, was signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting. and it was decided that it should be forwarded to the Anti-Corn. law Association to present. SOU'T'HWARK, Last night a most crowded meeting took place'within the large theatre of the Southwark Literary and Scien tific Institution. Borough-road, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Sidney Smith lecture upon the Corn-laws ; for expediting the progress of the signing of the memorial to her Majesty, lately adopted by the Institution ; and for promoting in general the advance of free-trade principles in the district. The large lecture-room of the Institution, which is capable of containing nearly a thousand individuals, was filled to overflowing ; indeed, hundreds were obliged to leave for want of room ; and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested as the lecturer proceeded. PARISH OF ST. MARYLEBONE. THE CORN AND PROVISION LAWS.—PETITION TO THE QUEEN, AND DEPUTATION TO THE I)URE OF SUSSEX.—Yesterday a special meeting of the vestry of St. Marylebone, which was numerously attended, took place at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of taking into consideration the confirmation of a resolution passed on the previous Saturday to petition the Queen, praying liament. her Majesty not to prorogue Par- Mr. GIBSON—He was happy to see that the pa rishioners of Marylebone were equally, with their re presentative Vestry, at work in this great and impor tant struggle for the rights of the poor. Meetings and petitions were being held and got up in every quarter and district of the parish ; and it was also gratifying to learn that the Anti. Corn-law movement was to be led on by Royalty itself.—(Rear, hear.) He regretted the ab sence of Mr. Waymouth on the present occasion, but that gentleman had requested him to put the Vestry into possession of' the fact that her Majesty had appointed a day next week, he believed Thursday, for receiving the petitions praying her not to prorogue Parliament until the distress of the country and the important question of the Corn-laws had been discussed. This, Mr. Way mouth stated, had been brought about by the Queen's uncle, the Duke of Sussex, his Royal Highness having had an interview with her Majesty. It was his Royal Highness's intention to head a deputation of Peers Of a similar way of thinking with himself upon the question of the Corn-laws, and present all the petitions 'to her Ma jesty on the subject, which it was understood would be between 200 and 300 petitions from the metropolis and its suburbs, and between 500 and 600 from the pro vinces. —(Loud cheers and cries of " Hear, hear.") It was not his. (Mr. Gibson's) intention to call upon the Vestry to comply with the request of the " Anti-Corn law Association," that all petitions should be sent to their office for presentation. He hoped to see a deputa tion appointed to wait on his Royal Highness and place the petition of the Vestry into his hands themselves ; they would then be sure of its reaching her Majesty. The petition was then adopted without a single dissen tient, and immediately put in course of signature ; and Messrs. Waymouth, Gibson, Thomas, Bushill, and the Chairman, Mr. Joseph,- having been appointed a depu tation to carry it to his Royal Highness the Duke" of Sussex fir presentation, the meeting separated. WHITECHAPEL AND MILE-END. A meetin g was held on Wednesday 11)r the purpOifrof memorializing the Queen on the subject of the e`6l-n -laws, at the Grave Maurice Tavern, Whitechapet;ittid shortly after eight o'clock, p.x., they were both crowded to suffocation by the most respectable inh,:bitants of the neighbourhood, as were also all the avenues leading to the place of meeting.; Mr. G. WEST proposed, and Mr. CuoucilEa seconded, thelliesolution, agreeing to memorialize the Queen ; and a third resolution constituted the meeting into the Whitechapel and Stepney Anti-Corn-law. Association, and several gentlemen were elected as the Committee. The meeting, which was one of the largest held upon the subject in Whitechapel, then separated. MEETING AT PLYMOUTIT In compliance with a requisition to the Muyor, signed by upwards of 190 voters for the borough, a public meet ing took place at the Guildhall, yesterday, "to con sider the propriety of memorialising her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen, praying her Majesty not to suffer the Parliament to be prorogued until the House of Commons has adopted some measure calculated effectually to alle viate the present alarming distress of the vvorking classes of the community." The Hall was numerously and re spectably filled. The MAYOR having taken the Chair.„ read the notice convening the meeting, and expressed his willingness to receive any proposition. Captain PHILIPS rose and said, that when he signed r the requisition requesting the Chairma n to convene the meeting, he had no intention of speaking on th e su bj ect, thinking it might preclude other more able and compe tent speakers, by occupying the time o f t h e meeting. But having it a n t imperative ti r :e q is duty estel t 0 0 0 ex proposepes s his sentiments. a resoluti on , h e felt They had met without respect to party—(Appl ause .) was a meeting to promote the prosperity, and to do jus tice to the country. It was also a meeting of humanity, to afford relief to suffering and starving thousands. They were told that other nations were unwilling t o g i ve t h em food for clothing, but those who said FO. were unvvilling to give that right, or he would say that privilege. But had they not a living witness, Mr. Curtis, who had come as a delegate from Aineriea, to tell them that there was great almndace of corn there, and that the exchange would snake the English people and the people there mutually happy? Then was it not it,most atrocious pro ceeding that the happiness of two nations should be sa crificed to support the monopoly of this country. Ht then read some extracts from a pamphlet written by the Rev. Baptist Noel, entitled " A Plea fur the Poor." Captain Philips concluded his observations by moving the first resolution. held in • T. W. Fox, Esq., said he his hand a resolu tion which it was his intention to propose to the meet ing ; but he would confess, before he did so, that he had great hopes after Parliament met that they should have heard the intentions of the present Ministers with re- FROM THE DAILY PAYERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—As if to prove the correctness of their as sertion, that " nothing can be done" in the present Ses sion, the Conservative Ministers are frittering away the time that yet remains for public business ; and if nothing is to be done, they are at least resolved to occupy them selves thoroughly in doing it. We are reminded of the anecdote of the master who, calling to one of his ser vants, " Robert, what are you doing?" was answered, " Nothing;" and on turning to another, with " Tom, what are you about ?" was informed that the said Tom was " helping Robert." Now the country has already been told that the slew Premier is not prepared for action ; and any one may, therefore, well exclaim, on casting his eye down the lung and densely crowded columns of Parliamentary denates, " Why, Robert, what are you about ?" and Peel's reply will, of course, be in conformity with his declaration, that he is at pre sent prepared to do "Nothing." But seeing the name of Mr. Wakley, the Roi disant servant of the public, studding the pages of the public press, one may natu rally ask how Thomas is employed ; and the answer would naturally be, "Oh 1 . I am helping Robert." We know that even when the Parliamentary Session is at its height, and the Members are in full activity, the business done bears a most contemptible proportion to the words spoken. But when the House actually professes the fir niente principle, no wonder that it should outdo itself in the daily supply of milk-and water for the columns of the newspapers. The most popular privilege that the Commons could possibly en force would be that by which the publication of their speeches may be prohibited ; and the most unex ceptionable way of bringing about this pleasant result would be by a resolution on the part of some of the more diffuse dispensers of the stream of words, to dispense altogether with the trouble of giving vent to their emptiness. The well-known pressure of common air is fifteen pounds to a square inch, but there is some thing in the breath of a twaddling and talkative M.P. that far outweighs the atmosphere, and his speech, when reported, seems to throw a ponderous load on every square inch of the newspaper. Talk of water turning to stone—it is nothing to the transmutation of milk-and water into lead, which any one who pores over the de bates will recognise as a matter of frequent occurrence with regard to the orations delivered in both Houses of Parliament. STANDARD.—There is one disclosure in the course of last night's discussion which, though not adverted to in the coarse of the debate, strikes us, we confess, as the most important of all that has been elicited ; we allude to the dates of the two cases of extreme suffering cited to prove the present distress of the manufacturing popula ton, and the necessity of a revision of the Corn-laws before Christmas. These cases must have been recent. It is impossible to suppose that the .Anti- Corn-law philanthropists could keep such cases care fully boxed up when their friends were in power ; at all events, they must have occurred during the expiring agonies of the late Government, when it might be cruel to " shake the dying sinner's sand." Nothing of the kind ; the one case occurred before August, 1839, the other in February, 1840 ; that is to say. the one case occurred twelve months, and the other five months, before Lord Melbourne declared that it would be madness to think of agitating the Corn-laws. Now, this is conclusive upon two points : first, it shows that the cases are not honestly brought forward with a view to the present distress, or even with a view to the Corn-laws, or they would have been brought forward the one two years ago, and the other a year and a half ago ; that they are not brought forward upon any motive of humanity, or the first inquiry upon the matter would not be left for the first Conservative Minister.: The second and most gratifying proof afforded by the dates is the confir mation they afford to Sir Robert's argument of a tendency to recovery. If any so bad cases of recent occurrence could be found, it is quite clear that, the Anti-Corn-law philanthropists would not go back twenty-four months and eighteen months to exhume cases of suffering-, which they allowed to lie so long in the grave unlamented and unmolested. COURlER.—Referring to our brief notice yesterday of the appointment of Sir Stratford Canning to the Con stantinople Embassy, and to the stress intentionally laid on the imperious necessity of constant coolness and command of temper for the efficient discharge of' the very delicate and important duties connected peculiarly with that post, we shall frankly confess that we had in view, as a respected correspondent acquaints us is the prevailing impression in west-end quarters, certain popular misgivings that on his former mission in the same capital many years ago, the Ambassador had rather afforded indications of susceptibilities too nice, and of a precipitation astutely and instantaneously taken advantage of by very wary and waiting opponents to place him in the wrong. We have no intention of discussing the credibility of the potation, but shall content ourselves merely with this' reference to a • prejudice once prevalent and its origir. It will be the more easy for a diplomatist of Sir Stratford's abilities and experience to show hereafter by his temperate bearing how groundless was the imputation, and how little he is the man to be tempted out of the cool and cautious tenor of hls way by.the alternate insolence and servility of the policy . of the Seraglio, as dominated from day to day by the in trigues and menaces of Russian agents, or acted on by thole pusillanimous but well founded apprehensions of Russian ambition, which prompt the expediency of re morse to some equally powerful and counteracting in fluence elsewhere. The position of the Ambassador will of course be rendered still more difficult and delicate by the personal repugnance heretofore understood to have been expressed towards him by the Russian Auto crat, and which was carried so far formerly, as understood, as to lead to the revocation of his appointment actually made to represent his Sovereign at the court of st. Petersburgh. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. F::OM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIDIES.—The advances on stock which the Bank made yesterday, without previous notice, have been the subject of much conversation in the City. There is no doubt that nut only were advances made by the Bank broker, but that money could actually be had on stock from the Bank itself during a certain portion of the day. Such an operation, offering as it does the fullest encou ragement to speculations for a rise in the Funds, is in itself 'most illegitimate, but without a notice it is parti cularly blameable, as it shows a design to carry on a plan, almost in opposition to the notice last 'put:forth. The Directors themselves must have soon perceived the wrong course they . had adopted, for the plan - was soon given up, and even in the late part of yesterday money could not be procured by a deposit of stock, nor are any such means at hand to-day to relieve a pressure for money. Thus the whole remains a matter of great mys tery as to whether it was intended 'as an aid to the Trea sury, or as an operation of their own ; but whichever view is taken, it seems to place the Bank iu an unsatis- PRICE 5d factory The Directors certainly ought not to have embarked in a transaction meant to supply the de ficiency in the subscriptions to the proposed conversion, unless they were quite sure of not being obliged to stop short in the middle of it, since, in so doing, it was cal. ciliated to embarrass rather than to assist the Treasury. 'lf they originated the advances for purposes of their own, they are still less to be defended, for nothing is more fully admitted in banking affairs than that loans on stock by a Government Bank are not a strictly legitimate ope ration. To begin it, however, even if forapurpose of their own, and then suddenly stop short, makes it something more than an error of judgment, and almost ridiculous. POST.—The advances made by the Bank, in connee • tion with the Government measure for the reduction of the unfunded debt are, we hear limited to parties w h o have subscribed for th e furnishing of Exchequer Bills. They are made upon the deposit of this class of paper until the operation shall be completed, so as to prevent the ready funds of subscribers from being unnecessarily locked up during the interval. Such an arrangement cannot be fairly complained of on the score of partiality or otherwise when the merits of it come to be properly understood. A circular has, it is understood, been sent to some of the Shareholders of a large Joint Stock Bank in the country, the management of which has been frequently animadverted upon of late, calling a special meeting for an early day ; the object of such meeting being, it is said, to determine beforehand the mode of proceeding to be adopted at the annual general meeting of proprietors about to take place shortly. No comment need be made on this display of official circumspection. REVIEW AT COMPIEGNE. At Compiegne, on Sunday, the King reviewed the troops of the camp on the plaine de Marigny. His Ma jesty, attended by the Dukes of Orleans, d'Auinale, and Montpensier, Duke Perdinand of Saxe-Coburg and his son, Marshals Soult and Molitor, the Minister of Marine, several general officers, and his aides-de camp, proceeded to the field, where he was received by the Duke de Nemours as Commander-in-Chief. All the diplomatists, whose arrival at the palace on Saturday we have announced, with many other foreigners of distinction, were in the suite: The Queen and all the Princesses followed the King in an open calesh. His Majesty passed along the whole of the lines, being everywhere hailed with loyal acclamations. He then proceeded to an elevated mound, on which were planted he standards and colours to be distributed. The regi ments of each division were formed in close columns, by platoons, having at their fronts the respective deputa tions appointed to receive the colours. The King having taken a prominent station in front, the Duke de Nemours came to receive his Majesty's orders, and the drums beat. Marshal Soult, Minister of War, then addressed the troops in these terms : " Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers ! You swear fidelity.to the King of the French, obedience to the constitutional charter and the laws of the king dom. Swear!"—(" We swear.") " You swear to defend in all times and places the colours and standards which the King confides to you ; to rally round them under all circumstances, and defend them with honour and devo tion, to die rather than to suffer them to fall into the hands of the enemies of the King and of France. Swe a r!" Upon this the cries of "We swear," were repeated with enthusiasm. The marshal then called forward each regiment that was to receive colours, in the order of their numbers,—viz., 22d. 23d, 24th, and 25th light infantry; the 68th, 69th, 70th, 71st, 72d, 73d, 74th, and 75th of the line ; 7th, Bth, and 9th of hussars; and the 13th chasseurs. The whine's of each regiment received the colours from the hands of the King, presented to his Majesty by Marshal Soult. This ceremony being con cluded, the King delivered the following address:— "My dear Comrades—l regret that my voice cannot be heard by you to-day in the usual way ; but if my power of speech is weakened, the sentiments which I have to manifest to you are not. I was anxious to present to you with my own hand these colours and standards, the glorious records of your predecessors, and which will teach you what you have to do in order to render yourselves worthy of succeeding them in the same career, and responding to th e con fid ence o f t h e country and my own. It is unnecessary that I should re mind you that your first duty is to uphold the honour of the French name and that of the colours which I confide to your valour and patriotism. We are now in the en joyment of the blessings of peace, and in order that we may have confidence in their duration, we must more than ever direct our efforts towards maintaining our country in the glorious situation in which Providence has placed it. You would do this in war, if France should ever be under the necessity of resorting to it ; and you will do the same in the bosom of peace, by your devotion to the institutions which govern the nation. It is in this way that you have so efficaciously assisted in pre serving your country from the evils of anarchy and the disastrous consequences which result from it. You will continue to keep them far distant from us, by never deviating from the course which you have followed with honourable perseverance. Yes, my dear comrades, it is by remaining faithful to discipline, to our institutions, and to our constitutional monarchy, which guarantees the right and the security of all, that you will show yourselves worthy of the glorious name of French sol diers, and that the prosperity and greatness of France will be placed upon a firm basis. lam happy in finding myself in the midst of you, in speaking of my old affec tion for you, of that affection which dates from the time now long gone by, when I fought in your ranks, and in repeating to you that lam proud of being the chief of so fine an army—of an army so worthy of France and of him who has the good fortune to command it." • This address, at its conclusion, drew forth a repeti tion of cries of " Vice lc Roi !" followed by a salvo of artillery. The Duke de Nemours then ordered the drums to salute the colours, and the deputations bore them to their respective corps,_ the Colonels cau s i ng their regiments to repeat the oaths they had just taken in their names. This was done with renewed acclama tions of " Vice le Roil' The troops were afterwards formed into columns, and filed off before the King, the infantry by battalions, and the cavalry by squad rons,. with a steadiness and precision which did high honour to the Duke de Nemours, excited general admi ration, and drew from the King r e p e at e d ex p ress i ons to his Royal Highness of his entire approbation, as well as congratulations from the Duke of Orleans, and the Marshal Minister of War. This fine and interesting scene was concluded at four o'clock. The spectators were innumerable, and at every point the King and Royal Family were greeted with the warmest acclama tions In the course of the day the Pope's Internuncio and the Count and Countess Mole arrived as visitors at the palace. The King gave a grand banquet in the Salle de Diane, to which the chiefs of all the corps were in vited. At eight in the evening there was a grand dis play of fire-works in front of the palace, given by the town of Compiegne. SHIPPING INTELI.IIi.ENCE. (LLOYD'S.) LONDON, OCT.

MORNING SUN • A., Eh t N Jo; INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT• ".. ; IN THE 3IATTER OF - TROUTON. 4-7 - th The insol vent i n this case carried on business as a.I ,- woollen-draper an d mercer i n Oxford-street and also in the Strand. Mr. WOODROFFE supported his application to be dis- charged, and M r . C OOKE appeared on behalf of the' Se-ti" , L M 14. veral creditors. It appeared that some time ago the insolvent fell into difficulties, and compounded with his creditors to pay 10s. in the pound, by instalments, which he accom plished, and had since entered into business, but was again unfortunate. He had failed in coming to an ar rangement with his creditors, and was consequently obliged to seek his discharge under the Act. Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS said it often unfortu nately occurred that when persons in business compounded with their creditors to pay by instalments, and enter upon business again, they were entrusted with fresh stock, by which they were enabled to meet the payments for the moment, but a crash was finally inevitable. Mr. COOKE, having, on the part of the creditors, ex pressed an opinion that the insolvent's conduct was ho nourable and straightforward, The Learned COMMISSIONER said he quite agreed with Mr. Cooke. The insolvent had 1 een unfortunate, In: not dishonest. He should order his discharge forthwith. POLICE IN TE LL IGENCE. BOW-STREET. ' On Thursday Charles Horton, the driver of a Hammer smith omnibus, was charged before Mr. JARDINE with. assaulting Mr. James Comrie, a gentleman residing at No. 13, Thayer-street, Manchester-square, under the followinc , circumstances : Mr. Comrie stated, that on the evening of the 26th ult. he got on th e ou t s id e o f an omn ib us , iven by the de fendant, at Kensingtcn, and desired to be set down at the corner of Bond-street. On arriving there the defendant pulled up, when witness tendered him 6d. as his fare, which he took, and at the same time placed his leg over his (witness's) legs, and prevented him rising from his seat, saying that he should not go unless he paid Is. Witness remonstrated with him, but the defendant per sisted in saying that he should no t ge t d own, and im mediately drove off. On arriving at the corner of Co ventry-street he saw a police-constable, and called upon him to interfere, but as no notice was taken of his request, he supposed he was not heard. The defendant still refused to let him get down, and drove on to the City, and one arriving at the top of. Ludgate-hill, witness saw a policea man, to whom he related the whole of the facts, and 3111 parties then went to the station-house. • City Police-constable 365 confirmed the latter part of the complainant's statement. In answer to the charge the defendant stated, that in consequence of the complainant's refusing to pay him a shilling, the amount of his fare, and also refusing to give his card, he certainly did drive him further than Bond street, but his object in doing so was to seek the assist ance of a policeman, in order to obtain the complainant's address. The complainant had no occasion to have gone further than the corner of Coventry-street, but might have alighted there if he had thought proper. Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had no right what ever to take the complainant a step beyond the place where he desired to be set down. The defendant—l detained the gentleman in order to procure his proper fare. He (complainant) was intoxi cated at the time, and did not know what he was about. The police constable stated, that the complainant ap peared to be perfectly sober at the time, and gave pre. ctsely the same version of the affair when he was at the station-how e. Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had committed a most gross assault upon the complainant, and that without the slightest justification. He had no business whatever to make a prisoner of the complainant, which it was clear he had done, or convey him one step beyond the spot he had desired to be set down at. If the complainant had refused to pay his proper fare, legal means should have been resorted to to obtain it. The public must be pro tected against such outrages. He should therefore order the defendant to pay a fine of 405., or in default be com mitted to the House of Correction for 14 days. The defendant was locked up. THAMES-OFFICE. On Thursday a party of emigrants, e!even in number from Stroud, in Gloucestershire, waited on Mr. Ballan tine, to complain of the conduct of the people connected with the ship Himalaya, Henry Burn commander, then on her way down the river to Port Philip and Sydney. It appeared, from the statement of the emigrants, that their passage was engaged on ' board the Himalaya, and they went into the St. Katharine's Dock about 11 o'clock, as the ship was about to get under way, and were told they could not come on board then, and must wait a little while, although there was no reason why th e y should not have gone on board at once. Soon after wards the ship began to haul out of the dock, but no notice was taken of them, nor were they allowed to enter the ship. They then went round to the lock entrance to meet the ship as it was coming out, and upon the swivel bridge being opened, the vessel remained in the lock some time, close alongside the quay, and they could easily have stepped on board, and were preparing to do so, when 'they were forced back by the Captain and others, who used the most gross language towards them, and declared they should not come on board until the ship reached Gravesend. A married woman with her child was, however, assisted on board by a relative, and had no sooner got upon deck than she was rudely assailed, and a man laid hold of her, dragged her along with brutal violence, and forced her outside the ship. She stood upon the rail and clung to the rigging, screaming violently, while the fel lows upon deck, unmindful of her perilous situation, en deavoured to shove her back upon the pier, and one man held up her child with the intention of throwing it to the people on the quay, who hissed, hooted, groaned, and called out " Shame, shame !" A scene of the greatest confusion ensued, in the midst of which the ship made a sheer off, rendering the situation of the woman still more perilous. The Captain then called out, " Let her stop, I'll serve them out . for it," and she was dragged upon deck and pushed about in a most brutal manner. The applicants could not succeed in reaching the vessel, and after meeting with a good deal of abuse were told to join the Himalaya at Gravesend. They had, however, no means of reaching that place, or sufficient to purchase a meal, and they humbly implored the Magistrate to assist them, and to interfere in their behalf, so as to secure them from ill-treatment during the voyage, which they were fearful might be exercised towards them after the threats made use of by the persons in authority on board the Himalaya. Mr. BiI t LANTINE directed Blaby, the chief usher of the Court, to take charge of the emigrants, to see them on board a Gravesend steamer, and pay their passage, give them a dinner, and present to each of them 6d. to pay a boatman to convey them from the steamer, on her arrival at Gravesend, to the Himalaya. He also di rected Blaby to wait upon the agents, and inform them of what had occurred. He expected that no harshness would be exhibited towards any of the emigrants in consequence of this complaint. The applicants, consisting chiefly of young men and women, expressed their gratitude to the worthy and hu mane Magistrate in a way not to be misunderstood, and left the Court with the officer. The brutality exercised towards the female who nearly lost her life was witnessed by 150 people on the quay and the police. The dock-men and others joined in loud expressions of indignation. DREADFUL SUICIDE IN SCOT- LAND. We have just heard of a melancholy event which hap pened at Whitehaugh, in Aberdeenshire, on Friday last, Colonel Forbes Leith having terminated his life with a loaded pistol in his drawing-room, in presence of his wife. Domestic unhappiness is reported in that part of the country as being the cause of this dreadful catastrophe. The Colonel had returned from India and settled on his paternal estate about twenty years ago, soon after which he married, and has now left a widow and several chil dren. As the form of a Coroner's Inquest is unknown in Scotland, there is no investigation, we believe, by any public authority there on the occurrence of events such as the appalling one which we have mentioned. DOVER THEATRE.-411e company here are the best that have appeared for several seasons. First and foremost, then, among the stock hands, without meaning anything invidious, we must name that engaging little actress, Miss M. A. Egan. who in all her parts is ever pleasing, and in some of them excellent; while her singing, if not great, is sweet and harmonious. — Dov er Chronicle. PRINCE ALBERT'S HORSE•BRUSH.—NEW H.
