The fault does not rest with this office, nor with the news-agents. It must therefore lie with the Post-offices throughout the country. It is really too bad to be robbing The Sun so con tinually—and more especially when there hap pens to be .important news. Why don't they give the other papers a turn, and thereby spare our subscribers the trouble of complaining ? On some occasions, indeed, we learn that they do slip other papers into our covers, which is a spe cies of free trade not much more to our liking. THE RAILWAY SUN. NOTiCE.-A. New Edition of the RAILWAY .SUN is NOW PUBLISHING. TUE CHINA SUN, AND THE PARLIAMENTARY SUN, ARE STILL ON SALE, PRICE SIXPENCE EACH. Sun Offic, Nov. 12, 1841. THE QUEEN DOWAGER. The bulletin of her Majesty's health exhi bited at Marlborough House this day was as follows:_ " The Queen Dowager has had some sleep during the night. Her Majesty's complaint has undergone no essential change since yesterday. " W. FRED. CHAMBERS, M.D. DAVID DAVIES, M.D. gi Sudbury Hall, Nov. 12, 1841." The masters of the Morning Post seem alarmed, and begin to threaten the Press, through the medium of that Journal, with we know not what prosecutions. In its tirade yes terday, on the subject of obeying the law, are the following passages:— If the Government be more anxious for the praise of being called " Liberal." than for the protection of ra tional liberty, it is easy to see why this should be per 'flitted to go on ; but if the Government do its duty it will put the law in force, in order to punish those who print and publish that the law ought to be resisted. . • . . It is often urged that by taking notice of certain offences the evil is spread abroad, and more harm done than good—that in many cases contempt is the best cor rective. We own that - this does create a difficulty, and that there is no absolute rule in such cases. It is the part of practical wisdom to be guided in such cases by circumstances. However, when we take into account the quantity of error and prejudice which subsist upon the Corn-law question, and the great liability of the people to be stirred up to violence upon the subject, it is our opinion that contempt is no longer the safe treatment for those who publish that the existing law ought to be resisted. We believe, bold as have been the assertions of the Press, that the Post and its masters may safely be defied. We have discussed, and other Journals have discussed, the duty of obeying or resisting the law ; and we have maintained, and shall continue to maintain, that it is the duty of all men to disobey and resist an enactment or decree, like that of HEROD, for putting infants to death, and like that of our Corn-law makers, which dooms the people to starvation, whenever they can successfully resist it. To attempt to punish the Press for such discussion and such opinions is at once to doom men to the worst kind of slavery, that of being the unresisting in struments of committing crimes they abhor, when ordered by a tyrant. It is quite true that if the law be resisted, and those who administer it have the power, they will punish the resisters; but we are not acquainted with any law, either written or un written, which prescribes punishment for those who discuss the propriety of resisting it, and who come to the conclusion that a law is of such a mischievous nature that to resist it, when men are able, is a matter of duty. It is the opinion of the Post, and probably the opinion of the land owners, that " they who affirm that the Corn law ought to s be resisted "—that is, affirm that it is a murderous law, a law which ought never to have been enacted, a law which it is immoral to obey—" deserve punishment for every such public affirmation;" but it is not, we are persuaded, the opinion of the majority of the sane and intelli gent people of this empire, or any other empire, at any period of the world. We refer to the article we have copied from the Globe, to show that it is not the opinion of that Journal and its readers—we refer to the crowded meeting of the Dissenting Clergymen at Manchester, in August last— we refer to every Corn-law Association throughout the empire, all of which are intent on organizing resistance to the law, resolute to overturn it—we refer to the manner in which it has been no less indignantly than justly denounced in three-fourths of the Journals of the empire, to show that the majority of the people are resolved to put down the Corn law if they can. Even the Chartists, who will not join actively in putting it down, always ex press their abhorrence of it, and only refrain from uniting with others to attain that object because they look 'beyond it, and openly say that they want to put down the authors of the law, and take from them the power ever to renew so barbarous an enactment. Passing over the nonsense which the Post, in common with a multitude of scribblers, and pro bably in common with its masters, expresses about regulated liberty only existing in proportion as the law is respected—as if the regulated liberty of buying and selling where and when men like, which is one of the most essential of all liberties for our commercial people, would not be esta blished and protected by treading the abominable Corn-law under foot--passing over all its custo mary and routine praise of law, per se, as if every enactment, be it what it may, deserved equal honour, and there were neither right nor wrong but that which Members of Parliament decree—we ask the Post, whose especial fault is it that the passions or violence of the people can be stirred up at all on the subject of the Corn-law? We are aware that it is a most deli cate and tender subject; we grant that while there are thousands of people out of employment in every manufacturing town—while the mills are stopped, and merchants and manufacturers are breaking by dozens—when hungry mul titudes are loudly demanding bread—it is a dangerous question to moot,—but who has driven the country and the press into this terrible dilemma? The landlords, we answer; the Tories, whose organs now cry out and threaten punishment to those who hold up their profligate perseverance in wrong to merited re probation. If we had waited till now to de nounce the Corn-laws we might have been liable to the charge of improperly appealing to the people; but fbr three years and a half have we incessantly reprobated those laws, speaking of them at first as we speak of them now ; and that our language now falls on the ears of a long-suffering, and starving, and perhaps infuriated people, is the fault of the law-makers, who have stubbornly persevered in plundering and oppressing them. The subsistence of the people is, of all sub jects, the most delicate that a law-maker can meddle with ; it is at the same time that one which the least calls for his interference, because all theory and all experience prove that the peo ple best provide for their own subsistence. His duty is to protect their industry, not to direct it. All theory and all experience prove that whenever he interferes with it he does mischief. He has no power to augment subsistence the value of a single potatoe. He can only influence the production of national wealth to diminish its amount by changing its distribution. All he can do, and all he does by Corn-laws, is to take something from the right owner and give it to the man who owns it not. He can not interfere with it, therefore, unless by vio lating that property he holds power to protect. At the same time lie is, and must be, ignorant of the circumstances, for no man knows them, which are hereafter to regulate the production of subsis tence ; and if he peril his power by assuming the enormous responsibility of providing for the sub sistence of the people, he must not blame those who affirm that to submit to his frantic ambition, or be the victims of his murderous avarice, is not the duty of mankind. We have not stated these opinions without being well aware of their bearings and their vast importance ; but it is impossible to know that one law-maker admits that this law enriches himself and all his tribe, by raising the price of the people's bread; that another law-maker, speak ing the sentiments of his class, openly declares that, whether men like this law or not, they shall have no other ; that they must submit to be plundered; that he and his friends have the power of making laws, and they will eject from °f ace every Ministry, as they have ejected one which proposes to alter them,—it is impossible to believe, as we believe, after much consideration, and in common with a great multitude, that this law, which the landlords are resolved wrong fully to maintain, people annually to do h o ll in n e sa r a l a n r d g e t o d nm e m a tbhe r b y of s t t a h r e_ vation—actu a ll y withh g old . ing food from them, which by their own honest industry they might purchase in abundance —that it interrupts com merce, and prevents the progress of brotherhood and civilization amongst the • nattons of the earth, —it is impossible to know that such a law exists only by the will of those who suppose they are enriched by it, without being forced to discuss the doctrine of resistance, and coming t o t h e c onclusion that it is a crime in the community to obey such a law. How f ra il , too, let us to remark in cloylhates,: is the tenure of power by those who assert that unless their frantic ambition and avarice be blindly obeyed, society, W hi c h they did not create nor form, will fall into disorder. The Times yesterday startled the community by quoting proofs from Paris Journals, both Govern ment and Opposition, that France trembles o n the brink of another great social revolution, and that its fats hangs on the life of a man who is shot at once a year. It does not require a -poli tical remembrance beyond the year 1830, to con vince us that such a change in France would have disastrous effects for our aristocracy. They hold their power, then, by the frail tenure of Louis PHILIPPE'S life, and they madly persist, by their injustice, in turning the people, on whom they must rely for support, into enemies. The Morning Chronicle begins to be " ap prehensive of some danger to the great princi- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1841. pies of civil and religious liberty, from the eon joined activity of Puseyisin and Catholicism. Tile present age exhibits a great struggle going on between ecclesiastical power and the freedom of the human mind. We had thought that eccle siastical power had been fairly put down, and kept within its proper limits; but we behold it reviving once more, and contending for the mastery." That is true ; but we must accuse our Contemporary, and the majority of the Liberal press, of having contributed to bring about such a result. They have continually— especially when the Whigs were in office— spoken with approbation of the Church of Eng land; and they have, by upholding that institu tion, sanctioned and strengthened the claims of ecclesiastical power. If they expected to put down the power of the Romish priesthood by nourishing the power of another priesthood, which resembles the Romisk in everything but the name, they have been much mistaken. The true corrective of ecclesiastical power is not an Established Church, but free inquiry; and many of those who advocate the principles of civil and religious liberty, ought to be filled with regret at having countenanced and supported the Church of England. She has long been only an auxiliary of Rome, a helpmate in nursing super stition ; and now her proper office of preparing men to embrace Romanism, is alike revealed in the doctrines of the Tracts, and in the conversion of Mr. SIBTHORP. If our Liberal Contempora ries wish to see ecclesiastical power fairly put down, they must begin with the . Church of England. We stated on June 5, 1840, that " there are two immense bodies of men in this metropolis who have an interest in delaying causes, and prevent ing their clients from obtaining a settlement of their disputes, and so long as that state of things exists, the multiplication of Courts and Judges will only enable them more effectually to fleece their clients." We have now two new Courts and two additional Vice-Chancellors, and this description of their proceedings was given in the Post yesterday : "A t nearly three o'clock," it said— " The Vice-Chancellor's Court was already up' for the day. The Lord Chancellor was still sitting and listening to a gentleman who, from his mode of proceed ing, may be presumed to have quite forgotten that the life of man has bees somewhat abridged since the great flood. We next found our way (by dint of great .perse verance) to the incommodious chambers above stairs, where Mr. 'Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce and Mr. Vice-Chancellor Wigram hold their Courts. These Judges were still sitting, and apparently very anxious to go on with the business in the paper ; but the barristers appeared to be anxious for only one thing, and that was, to draw the attention of their Honours to the clock upon the wall, which indicated that the hour of three was very near at hand. In vain did Mr. Bight Bruce sweep the Court perpetually with his double eye-glass, and look as reproachful as his extreme urbanity will permit him to look. In vain did he hint that he was not particular to a minute when business was to be done. At last a junior was prevailed upon to open a case, a task with which the said junior appeared to be by no means well pleased, while seniors stood up, and seemed fidgetty to get away. As for Mr. Vice-Chancellor Wigram, he answered plainly to the clock remonstrance, that he did not mean to rise at three, but wished to go on with his work. Ile could not, while we remained, get the work to do. Cause after cause was called on, but the professional gentlemen engaged were not there, or were not prepared to proceed." The two new Judges, now that they are ap pointed, have no business to perform. Bar risters and Solicitors are not anxious to get through causes. They have got two Courts to make a show and promise of getting a decision. They have obtained, therefore, an additional hook to catch their prey, but they will no more now allow it to escape till they have devoured it, than they did when there was only the LORD CHANCELLOR'S Court in full practice. The French Journals, received this morning, give no quarter to the Regent of SPAIN and the Exaltados who support him. One would sup pose, from the rancour displayed by them, that he had vowed the conquest of France, and the restoration of the elder line of the BOURBONS. Had he solemnly invited the Duke of BOR DEAUX to reside, in the Madame MUNOS fashion in Paris, in the capital of Spain, he could not be worse treated. They shout that all is anarchy in Spain, because the Barce lonese and the Valencians have taken it into their heads to demolish two old fortresses, the memorials of the tyrannical oppression of former Spanish Monarchs, Now we challenge the French press to produce from the Spanish papers an instance of gross, brutal oppression committed in violation of the law in Spain, equal to the following record of atrocity perpetrated under and in the name of the law in France, which we find recorded in the columns of Galignani's Mes senger? What liberty can be said to exist in a country where a Journalist, for a bare charge of libelling a Government, can be so treated ? Mark how justice is administered in civilized, and moral, and loyal France : M. Mullet, the responsible Editor of the Emancipation of Toulouse, having addressed a letter to that journal from l'lle en Jourdain, stating that he and his fellow prisoners, arrested upon a charge of having excited the populace of Toulouse to revolt, had been, as already stated, removed with chains round their necks, and dragged on foot to rile en Jourdain, where they were thrown into dungeons, with only a little straw for their beds, being, says M. Raulet, the treatment of fox-cats, the Courrier Francais comments upon his letter as follows : " M. Raulet in stating that he and his companions were treated like forcats, commits a mistake • forcats are no longer chained by the neck, an d com pelled to pro ceed on foot on the public road. This treatment is now reserved for political writers only. Malefactors are sent to the bagne in cellular carriages, and en poste; their suf ferings on the way are abridged by concealing them from the public gaze. But the Government has no motive for showing the same humanity to men who have not been condemned by public justice, and who are the enemies of the Government, although they are not the enemies of society. The Restoration became odious and ridi culous fur having chained Magalon to a forcat, and for having sent Fontan to Poissy between two gen darmes; Cut Magalon and Fontan had been sentenced, and had become legally the victims of the Government. The eight prisoners who have just been conducted from Toulouse to Pau, with chains round their necks, have not yet been declared guilty of any crime by a Jury, and are to be regarded as innocent. The rigour with which they have been treated is a savage act, unworthy of the age in which we live. We do not regret it so much on account of the Press, for persecution ennobles, and does not kill; we deplore it on account of the Go vernment, which is degraded by such ccnduct, and ex poses itself to the imputation of being influenced by the basest and most furious passions." After publishing such a statement as this, the Courrier Francais ought to feel some shame in continuing its attacks upon the Spanish Regency. ESPARTERO'S administration is quite as humane as that of LOUIS PHILIPPE. An account from Oran states that on the night of the 21st, the Douairs of two tribes friendly to the French, were attacked by the enemy, most of the male Arabs being in the town, passing the feast of the Ramazan. The enemy pillaged the Douairs, killed a man, and car ried off 58 women and children. These Douairs were within the ditch which surrounds Oran, and which the enemy crossed in great silence and unobserved. As boon as the alarm was given, cannon were fired, and troops were sent in pursuit of the marauders, but they were by that time out of reach. The Moniteur Algerien also contains the account of the march of the troops of General Changarnier on the 27th ult., with a second convoy for Medeah, from Haouch- Mouzaia. It says " The expeditionary column arrived at Medeah with outor any accident, n o t w ith stan di ng . the badness o fi f g t h h t er g oad, from the quantity of rain which had fallen ; but on their return, when at the ravine of Chita, the enemy, in considerable numbers, appeared disposed to dispute the passage. A force of 300 Arabs on horse back, which was posted in the Wood of Olives, was attacked by a part of the French army, and driven into the bed of the Chiffa, and after this, the whole of the enemy having given way, presented only a confused mass of about 1,000 regular infantry or Kabyles, and 100 cavalry. These were attacked with such vigour that, being surrounded on all sines, they threw away their arms, and even some of their clothing, in order to escape Over the heights, leaving eighty dead. Thirty horses and some mules fell into the hands of the French, and it would appear from the rich saddles and splendid arms of the dead, that several officers of rank of the regular troops of Abd-el-Katler had keen killed. The French had only one man killed and eight wounded, and arrived at Blid a h on the 30th. " Only 22 men, says the account, were sent t o t h e h ospital after the fatigues of this expe dition. Li( ute::ant-Gener a l Baron Aymard is appointed to be one of the King's Aid es-de-Cam Lord a Lord Co w l ey , h er Britannic p. sy je t Ambassador to with his f am il y and suite the King of the French, arri ve d in Paris onWednesday af- r te ic rn e' o s o H n9 otel, wher e hi s Excellency' waillnd alig hted re at Men main until the repairs of his official residence, in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, are terminated. Count Pahlen left Paris on Thursday for St. Peters burgh. The Russian Embassy during the absence of his Excellency is composed as follows: —M. de Kisseleff, Councillor of Legation; M. de Spies, Consul ; Messrs. de La b ens ki and Wookersam, Secretaries of Legation ; and the 13gron Ittlyendorff; 977 o cl'Aff‘'n"F fisr CoinaiLee.al niutters. The Siecle says:—" It has been shown by the discus sion in the States-General on the budget that Holland has to pay annually as the interest of her national debt the stun of 45,950,405 florins, to which must be added the annual charge of the deferred debt, which was converted by the last law, and which is 1,750,000 florins, making a total of 47,700,450 florins. Belgium pays five millions annually, but on the other hand the State has guaranteed the payment of the loans called Indian loans. The florin is worth 2f. 10c. The population of Holland is 2,600,000. The interest of the debt therefore amounts to 31f. per head, per annum. The amount paid in France per }load in the general taxation, taking the budget at twelve hundred millions, is 36f., of which 10 francs are for the interest of the public debt. The fishermen of the coasts of Normandy and Brittany have a superstitious notion that the quantity of fish in their seas has diminished ever since the death of the Emperor. The unusually large draughts lately made off Treport and the neighbouring coast have not destroyed this prejudice, but given rise to another ; for now they belive that the fish have returned to France with the re mains of Napoleon ! Prince Frederick, of the Netherlands, Commander of the 15th regiment of the line of the Prussian army, has ordered a complete set of horns, trumpets, and other instruments, to be made in silver, for the band of his regiment. The Elector of Hesse made a similar present to the band of his regiment some time ago. The consumption of animal food in Paris during'the last month was 5,849 oxen, 1,814 cows, 5,583 calves, and 39,755 sheep. In October, 1840, 661 oxen and 186 calves were consumed more than on the last month, and 115 cows and 1,738 sheep less. The general diminution cn the consumption of October, 1841, as compared with October, 1840, was about 380,00Dlbs. although the price of cattle in the markets of Sceaux and Poissy has lately been on the decrease. The Commerce publishes . a letter, addressed to it by a 'National Guard, complaining, in rather strong terms, that, on going upon guard at the Louvre on Wednesday, he found that on the Order of the Day was an express in junction against the National Guards, while standing as sentinels, conversing with the soldiers of the line at the same post. The police having received information that a number of professed thieves, who have been repeatedly con demned and under surveillance, had taken up their quar ters in Paris, have been on the look•out,'and have suc ceeded in capturing several, and among them three of the most audacious character, named Caillebotins, Car pentier, and Larcheveque. Whilst they were being con ducted to the Prefecture, the latter, who was the most daring of the party, and who had succeeded in effecting his escape from several prisons, laughed, e.nd said to his escort, " I am now in want of a little repose, after that we shall see what is to be done." CO3IMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON.—An erroneous im pression having prevailed that this bank was connected with the Commercial Bank of England, which (esta blished in the manufacturing districts) some time since experienced pecuniary difficulties, we are authorised to state that no connection has ever existed between the two Banks, and that the Commercial Bank of London has never had any establishment or branch, excepting in the metropolis. The body of the Prince of Monaco, Honore V., which had been deposited in the vaults of St. Thomas d'Aquin was sent off to Monaco two days ago. On the same day the body of Prince Honore IV., which was interred at Pere-la-Chaise in 1819, was exhumed, and it accompa nied the body of Honore V. The Duke de Valentinois, Hereditary Prince of Monaco, goes with these remains to his Principality. Immense numbers of woodcocks have made their ap pearance near Boulogne-sur-Mer within the last few days, and some of the sportsmen of that town have killed from 20 to 30 each in the day. " M. Couret, a notary," says a letter from Castillon (Ariege), " has been committed to prison at St. Girons, on a charge of forgery." A few days ago, as the President of the Court of As sizes of the Loiret was pronouncing condemnation to im prisonment and the pillory upon a man named Marseille, for forgery, the prisoner exclaimed—" Gentlemen of the Jury, you have condemned an innocent man," and im mediately drew a razor across his throat. In a quarter of an hour he was dead, notwithstanding all the efforts of the medical men who were called in. A few days ago a man employed in the Orleans Rail way, near Etampes, was buried by a falling in of the earth and lost his life, a horse and cart which were near him were also buried under the immense mass which gave way. An impudent robbery, as the Droit states, was effected a few days since, at the expense of Mlle. N—, one of the dramatic celebrites of the capital. A stranger, of gentleman-likc appearance, introduced himself to her one morning, under pretence of being commissioned, as an artist, by a lady of high rank, to obtain a drawing of a set of ornaments in brilliants, which she had worn on the stage, and which the lady had greatly admired. 11,•: solicited leave to draw them, and Mlle. N— obligingly complied, by putting the ornaments on the table. The artist drew them carefully, and replaced them one by one in their cases, while Mlle. N— was occupied in va rious manners, and once or twice quitted the room. When the artist had finished, he gave the cases back to Mlle. N— with many polite acknowledgments, and took his leave. In the evening. when she went to put on the ornaments in question, they were found to have bees changed for a set in paste and imitation-gold, of identi cally the same pattern. An English gentleman was, some time since, looking at a shop in the Place de la Bourse, when he felt that his pocket was picked of his purse containing thirty sove reigns. Ile at once saw the thief endeavouring to run away with the prize, and went after him. The rogue, in his flight, dropped the purse, which a gentleman picked up, and he had the impudence to turn back and reclaim it. Meantime, however, his pursuer came up and secured him. When taken to a Commissary of Police, he was recognised as an old offender, named Justa, who had previously been under sentence at least ten times for similar attempts. Ile has been tried by the Correctional Tribunal and sentenced to five yea rs ' i m p r i s o nm ent, an d the same term of surveillance. As an upholsterer's man was two nights ago returning home with a loaded cart along the Boulevart de l'Hopital, he was stopped by two thieves who, on his jumping out of the cart to hinder them from holding his horse's head, stabbed him in the back with a knife. His cries brought to his assistance two Municipal Guards who happened to be returning to their quarters, and who not only saved his life, but arrested the assailants. The men have been committed to take their trial for the attempt. The Courrier des Etats Unis states that Captain Ro berts, of the brig Francis, lately arrived at New York, in 38 days from San Juan de Nicaragua, with the follow ing intelligence :—lt will be recollected that some months ago, the King of the Mosquitos, an Indian tribe in the province of Honduras, died, bequeathing his kingdom to the Queen of England. According to Captain Roberts, her Majesty has considered this legacy as valid, and, on August 15, the new king of the Mosquitos arrived at San Juan, which is within the dominions, in an English brig of war, and accompanied by the English Governor of Belize. his Majesty ordered all foreigners to quit his kingdom before Ist March, 1842, threatening them, in case of disobedience, with the vengeance of England. Thence he proceeded to Bocotoro, another port, where he issued a similar injunction, with a similar threat. This Journal adds, that a letter of August 29 announces the arrest of the Galen, of New York, by the authorities of San Juan. The Galen arrived at San Juan on June 29, had discharged part of her cargo consigned to that port, and was preparing to proceed to another, when she was stopped under pretence of her having violated the Customs laws, and taken possession of by an armed force. The cargo, it is said, was given up to plunder. The iTloniteur Algerien gives the following from Biidnh, dated the 27th ult.:— " The troops, under the orders of General Barraguay d'llilliers, resumed the campaign on the 23d, when they started for Medeah, with a large convoy of mules and waggons. On the 24th four battalions, commanded by General Bedeau, took possession of the heights of Teniah, without opposition. The whole convoy then continued the route to Teniah, and arrived at Medeah, without meeting with any resistance, except a little firing of no consequence from some scattered Arabs. The stores brought for the use of Medeah having been housed, and about a hundred sick soldiers having been removed from the hospital of that place to the field-hos pital of the army, the column commenced its return march. About 200 of the enemy were seen, but they made no serious attack upon the rear of the army. The whole loss of the French in the slight skirmishes which took place during the whole expedition, was two killed and eleven wounded ; but some very heavy rain having fallen, and the road having become slippery, some casualties took place. About twenty Arabs were killed or wounded in the skirmishing of 24th and 25th. The Paris Globe states that the three steam-ships, Gregeois, Cerbere, and Meteore, though entirely em ployed in the conveyance of sick from Africa to Toulon, , are unequal to the service, on account of the increasing number of invalids ; and two transports are about to be joined with them, as soon as they can be fitted up for the purpose. M. Mendizabal has passed through Bordeaux on his way to Paris. • is asserted, says the Temps, that General Concha, cl.'.ef of the insur rect i on o f M a drid, has arrived in France. A letter f rom B urgos , o n the other hand, soles he has crossed t h e f ront i er i n t o Portugal. It was asserted, yesterday evening, that two ships of the line had been ordered to repair to Barcelona, to re inl'orce our squadron and protect French interests. A gentleman attached to the British Legation went yesterday to St. Cloud, to announce to the King the arri val of Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador in France. Lord Cowley has brought despatches, which he will deli ver to-day to M. Guizut. It is said that M. Salvandy has certainly received the title of Count. The Spanish Consul at Bordeaux has begun, as he is authorised to do, to deliver passports to the subaltern off: cers, corporals, privates, and peasants, who had tai:en arms in the late revolt, in the Biscayan provinces. Those who had previously belonged to the Carlist ranks are excepted from this measure.—Constitutionn el. The letters from Toulon of the 6th of November do not announce any movement,, in the port. It w a s said to be intended to make in all the quarters of the three ma ritime arrondissem ents extraor di na ry levies of ship boys and novices ; but those young men not being classed cannot be tak en un l ess as volunteers, and with the consent of their parents. This measure, it is evi dent, is not calculated to make up for the losses which the discharge of seamen will cause in our navy.— Commerce.

The map of the river is accompanied with an admirable description of the attacks on the Bogue forts, on the city of Canton, and the principal batteries and fortified positions, taken or silenced by the British Naval and Military forces. it is the best account by fitr that we have seen of the operations in that quarter. The Chart gives a .distinct view of the British fleet, first. on the station at Macao before start ing; hen the positions at the various points of 'attack from Chuenpee to Canton, with the posi tions also of the land forces on the west and north of the city at the moment when the Mandarins looked over the walls and called out " surrender." In addition to these we have a summary of the number of troops engaged—those killed and wounded, with well-executed plans Of the Chinese Forts. on the different islands and along the banks of the •river: The description of Hong Kong. is remarkable. The island is, in fact, a miniature representation of Great Britain, lying east and west, with land on the opposite, side of the Lyenun Passage, bearing a strong resemblance to the coast of France. On the north, too, is a group of islands resembling Shetland; and on the west an island called Lantnia, which might he mistaken for Ireland. The sketch altogether is full of interest, and beautifully executed. ASSESSED TAXES. We understand that, although the Board of Stamps and Taxes are desirous of getting in the assessed taxes with more punctuality than they have hitherto been collected, and "of preventing the retention of the money by the collectors, and are therefore giving up the suaviter in modo for the fortiter in re, they are in some measure doing only what has hitherto been neglected— that of giving notice to the parties in default of their liability. Whether or not they will pursue their threat, by adopting measures more rigorous than heretofore in enforcing payment, remains to be seen; at all events, we hope there will be a discretion used, so that what may savour of oppression may be avoided ; at the same time we recommend those who have the means to do so, not to run the risk of the tender mercies of the authorities, but to pay their taxes. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 12.—We have had a very heavy Cotton Market throughout the week, and prices of all descriptions have declined ed. per lb.

Accounts received from Hamburgh state that there had been some large purchases of wheat there recently for shipment to Jersey, where it could be entered with out any restriction from the Corn-laws, which are not in force in that island. These ad vices also remark that it had been supposed, seeing. the high price of wheat, that the poorer classes would take to ryst bread, but that the attempt to bring this article into consumption had ahVays failed, even when wheat was dearest. Some surprise is felt that the Bank of England should again be reducing its circulation, but as its bullion is decreasing, it is perhaps, however, prejudicial to our manufacturing interests, still a neces sary precaution. If the _Private and Joint Stock Banks all over the country should follow the example, we may anticipate increased tightness in the money market. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY.)

BLYTH, Nov. 10.—A boat has come on shore near Cresswell, marked " Alexander Brandt." ta, fi g ; %V AND Vutatt otnion. " TVho runs may read." FOREIGN. Madame Munoz, the King of the French, and Don Carlos, have come to an understanding that, whereas a marriage between Queen Isabella and - the Duke d'Au male is an impossibility, the eldest son of the Pretender is henceforth to be regarded as the bridegroom elect of the youthful Sovereign of Spain. This precious trio give themselves no trouble about the opposition they are likely to encounter on the part of the Regent and the Cortes. In this their new career of intrigue fresh mor tifications and disappointments await them. Of the bitter hostility of feeling produced in Madrid by the recent conduct of France, some idea may be form ed from the following toasts drank amid loud cheers, at a banquet of the National Guards of that capital, given to celebrate the defeat of the attack upon the Palace : " To the happy day when we shall drink the blood of tyrants as easily as we do this cup of wine." "To the advent of pure democracy." "If the Pope excommuni cates the Due de la Vittoria, may Spain shake off the yoke of Rome." " May the Supreme Being soon take into his holy keeping the King of the Barricades." The National of Thursday has the good sense to ridi cule the phantasmagoria of the horrors of the dissolu tion of society conjured up by the Debate, to prepare the public mind for the trial of Quenisset and his ac complices. The source whence the Debats drew the materials for its terrible forebodings was the Court of Correctional Police, before which eighteen small trades men appeared on Wednesday, charged with being com munists, and publishers and suppporters of the Journal l'lluminaire which advocates the visible darkness of such doctrines as a community of goods and women, and all the other blessings of an anti-civilized, anti-religious, brutal state. Never was there before the bar of any country an as semblage of smaller and more contemptible rogues. One of the leaders, acting as ostensible editor of the paper, amused the Court by admitting that he could neither read nor write. When we hear the Debats exaggerating the perils of the Government, we always know that some piece of Court villainy is about to be perpetrated. Spain continues the leading subject of discussion in the French Papers, and they all unite in censuring the Regent's abolition of the fueros of the Basque Pro vinces. The National attacks the measure as wrong in principle, and as an exercise of arbitary power by the Regent. The Courrier Ft aneais sees in the conduct of Espartero, a manifestation of dictatorship quite at va riance with his duty as a constitutional chief, and ex tends its censure to all his recent acts. The Debats con tinues to approve of the principle of centralization for Spain, but denies the legality, and above all the prudence, of the measure by which Espartero attempts to enforce this principle, and predicts an obstinate and perhaps sanguinary opposition to his decree. The secret of all this is that the abolition of the fueros is expected to in flict serious injury upon the contraband trade in France. While the fueros existed French contrabandists had nearly the entire trade from the. French frontier to the line of the Ebro in their own hands. Now this will be to a great extent lost to them by the establishment of a regular line of frontier Custom-houses. If the French Journals had the candour to admit this, we should be far from quarrelling with them as to the principle. We would have trade as free as the winds and waves, and are therefore opposed to all Custom-house restrictions. Count Pahlen, the Russian Ambassador, left Paris on Thursday for St. Petersburgh, without waiting to receive the English Ambassador, Lord Cowley, who on that day arrived in the French capital. We gave yesterday the picquante story whispered about this rather startling movement in the diplomatic circles of Paris. PUBLIC OPINION. Alluding to an article that appeared in an Evening Contemporary last night, recommending Sir R. Peel to look before he leaps, and to consider whether State pro secutions will prop up the Corn-laws, the Morning Post remarks as follows :—" It is known that Sir R. Peel habitually looks before he leaps, and is more inclined to look too long than to leap too soon, a disposition of mind in the Right Hon. Baronet which has had the effect of giving additional security to his actual position, but which had the previous effect—for which the Whig- Radical faction ought to be deeply grateful—of enabling them to retain place and pay for some two or three years at the least after they had become objects of suspicion, contempt, and aversion to the country"— The Post is right in asserting that Sir R. Peel is more inclined to look too long than to leap too soon; but the worst of it is, that for all his looking he never sees any thing. He has been looking—God knows how long ! at the Corn-laws, yet he cannot see that they are a nui sance requiring to be promptly remedied! He has been looking also, ever since the days of Huskisson, at the restrictions upon commerce, yet he cannot see that these restrictions ought to be considerably relaxed! Of what use, then, is his looking, if the more he looks the less he sees? The truth is, he is one of those purblind, short sighted, narrow-minded statesmen, who can just see the length of their nose, and no further, and who are resolved to look at those things only which make an agreeable impression on their senses. . t fhe Herald contains an article, suggested by the ap proaching execution of Blakesley, the murderer, in which it deprecates all capital punishments, as at vari ance with the scheme of Divine Justice, and adds ; f' Does the infliction of capital punishment on criminals deter those who, from vicious propensities, temptation, or any peculiar condition of circumstances, are mostlikely 'to engage in criminal practices, from giving into them ? We reply, with the strongest evidence to back our opi nion, No.' The desperate man or the profligate, the hardened, the abandoned, the penniless vagabond— or the idle but sturdy ruffian, attends a public execu tion as students of the classes in our colleges and hospitals attend a lecture. He goes to study the de portment of the condemned at his last hour. He does not conceal from himself that his own career, in all hu man probability, must be of brief continuance and violent termination. He knows, beforehand, that he himself could bear anything but the horrors of reflection on his offences and his fate, if he have any—reflection ; if he have not, then, of the weariness of hopeless imprison ment. But he is gratified to find the obscure and miser able companion of his debaucheries or his burglaries transformed into an object of eager public interest." The Chronicle, speaking on the subject of Ireland, ob serves:—" All the evils of Ireland have resulted from the existence of a system of double law. The landlords have introduced one law for themselves, which the people have always repudiated ; and, on the other hand, the people have retained their traditions derived from their own laws, such as they were, which existed before the invasion. There are literally at this time two nations, and two systems of law in Ireland."—lt is these, and other grievances, that have armed Mr. O'Connell with his present power. Would the Tories deprive him of his power? Let them hasten to do justice to Ireland, not in a niggardly spirit, but fully and generously. We fear, however, that it is not by Tory means that the great Agitator will be shorn of his prodigious influence. So long as the present Ministers rule the helm of State, so long will Ireland continue to be a thorn in the side of England, and Mr. O'Connell the powerful demagogue he has been for years. Referring to the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp's recent conversion to Catholicism, the Times says For ourselves, we blame and regret the secession of Mr. Sibthorp, and we see no more reason to anticipate that the men against whom the censure of our Contemporaries is directed will follow him in this respect than that they would imi tate him in the sale of his church to a clergyman of views opposite to their own. Nor can we see any p ro liable ground for mistrusting their consistent perseverance in the doctrine, which they have always taught, that Ca tholicity is to be found in the Church of England. That Church could not affordito lose either them or their prin ciples ; nor would they gain any thing, upon their own principles, by separating from her."—That Puseyism is the first step to Catholicism has been acknowledged by others beside the Rev. Mr. Sibthorp; and such being the case, we still think, notwithstanding the hypothesis of the Times, that these zealots would only be acting con sistently and conscientiously, by hauling down the fake colours under which they are at present fighting, and following the example of Mr. Sibthorp, who professes to have been convinced and converted by their Tracts. The Advertiser says :—" It is of the essence of Pusey ism to repudiate the right of any man to think or act for himself. It demands the surrender of his private judgment, and the independence of his action, to the teachings and injunctions of the Church. Men are to be mere machines—passive agents. equally in civil and religious matters. Hear the Church,' is the sum and substance of Puseyism. It sets aside, with unceremo nious hand, the Bible and the Constitution ; and would compel universal obedience to its despotic dicta. It usurps authority over the State and the Sovereign, and is prepared to trample on Monarchy itself, should it dare to oppose its designs."—This is strong language, but nevertheless it is a just definition of Puseyism ; and we defy any thinking man, who has read the Oxford Tracts with attention, not to come to the same conclusions as our Contemporary. Puseyism, however it may deny the imputation, is in essence neither more nor less than Catholicism. It tramples, equally with the Vatican, on the right of private judgment; passive obedience is the leading feature of its creed ; and he who adopts and does his best to promulgate this creed, has no right to remain longer within the pale of a Church which professes toleration, and as such virtually repudiates Puseyism. The Coventry _Herald, speaking of the rejoicings on the birth of the Prince of Wales, says :—" The general joy must be much less perceptible by reason of the thick cloud of adversity which presses down the millions of our industrious and deserving population into the depths of distress ; for it is beyond the possibility of doubt, with any who have a real knowledge of the state of the poor, that poverty—we may safely say a murderous de- . gree of poverty—abounds. Such an amount, and so uni versal. that no efforts of private benevolence can make the least perceptible general impression by way of abat ing it ; for however great and earnest those efforts may be, the evil grows so rapidly as to baffle all such exertions." The Leeds Mercury observes—" At the very time that we see the French woollen exports increasing so fast, and the English woollen exports declining so fearfully, what is the price of Food . paid by the manufacturers of the two countries respectively? Why, this very week, Bread is 60 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris! Is there no connexion between these facts, viz., flourish ing trade and cheap food in France, and failing trade 1 and dear food in England? It is worth the while even of so great a statesman as Sir Robert Peel to inquire. It is almost as important an inquiry as that of how many clerks, excisemen, and tidewaiters can be got rid of in I the collection of the revenue." We quote the following from the Durham Chronicle : " The • money-power' is at present, chiefly in the hands of the large landowners ; and its effects have been most sensibly felt in the operation of the Chandos clause of EVEN IN(4- SUN lie Curia Act. The cu..,,...uencie are alluu S entirely dependent on the • money-power;' will remain, until either the tenant-at-will clause hau. have been repealed, or the monstrous absurdity of Opel voting succeeded by a method which will give greste security to those who possess the franchise."
