THE SUN, LONDGN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1'441. LONDON: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1841. The votes of the House of Commons already contain a notice of a motion by Mr. BODKIN " for early next Session." The Herald says, that after the business of voting some unopposed grants, and passing a continuation of the Poor-law Act fur a short period, that the Parliament will be then prorogued with a view to its re-opening by her MAJts.ry with a speech from the Throne. These circumstances confirm the reports to the same effect which are already in circulation. Supposing them true, some of the consequences of so acting are worthy of notice. 'First, it is plain that the speech to be made by the QUEEN, having Sir R. PEEL for her master, will be very different from the speech lately de -li7ered by Lords Commissioners in the name of the QUEEN when she had the Whigs for her Ministers. It will at best shadow forth a totally different line of policy in respect to the food of the people when drawn up by Sir R. PEEL, Sir E. KNATCHBULL, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, than when drawn up by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord PALMERSTON, and Mr. LABOUCHERE. Such .a proceeding will make it plain to the meanest capacity that royalty—with all its prerogatives, is only a puppit in the hands of contending fac tions., and that it moves differently as each pulls the wires. We make no objection whatever to that important truth being thus forced on the .attentioß of the people, but the Tories must not ]lope, while they must 1 e aware that it is the result of their own conduct, that it will'add to the rvspect and veneration of the people for royalty. At the same time, we object to royalty being made the puppet of the Tories, and to a young and gracious Lady being made the means of g i v i n g credence and circulation to doctrines w hi c h go - to starve the people, by limiting the supply of food, and taxing the littl e th ey are allowed to get for the benefit of the rent-owners. Tit e pa lpable puppetism of roya l ty i s instruc tire in another sense. The men in office are not the Ministers, they are the masters of the QUEEN. They h a ve been placed over her, and forced on constituencies - and we, being lovers her, by the cot , (10 not object t o th e con stituencies over-riding royalty. Not only have the constituencies forced a master on the QUEEN. they have changed all her MAJESTY'S household, and are to change her whole policy. But if the constituencies may do this for the QUEEN, there can be no harm in their doing it ibr the aristocracy; if the constituencies• may do it, there is no reason why the unrepresented should not do something of the same kind, which might be pleasant to themselves, so that the Tory prac tices, if not the Tory doctrines, lead directly to the most extreme democratic conclusions, and they justify the assumption of power and go vernment by the unrepresented. It is impos sible to make a puppet of Royalty fur the behoof of the aristocracy, without giving the democracy a fair claim to the same power, both over the Crown and the oligarchy. Next, the proposed plan of prorogation will postpone the meeting of Parliament till after Christmas; probably till the beginning of Fe- bruary. All attempts at relief by legislation, then, are to be put off till next year. If legisla tion were not the exclusive cause of the evil s under which the country is suffering, we should have no right to demand its interference to give relief; but when bad laws—when laws op posed to all reason, honesty, and justice—laws alike condemned by GOD, for his condemnation is marked by the numerous physical and moral evils those laws engender—and man, for the multitude revolt against 'them when bad laws cause gnat. matiifold mischief—it is a little too great a trespass on the patience of the people— it is tasking their obedience too hardly, to ask them to sit quietly under these evils, with ou t an attempt to remedy them without even an inquiry into them through the approaching dreary months of winter, till next spring. The law-makers having made the starvation law, may then shoot game, but must not be troubled to inquire into their own acts. Against such a post ponement of buriness, of relief; and of the aboli tion or letiening of a curse, we feel it to be our duty at •ence to protest, and we hope whatever fair trial some of the Radicals may be disposed to concede to Sir R. PEEL, they will not concede to him the right, without forcing him to a division, to postpone all inquiry into the effects of the starvation laws, and all relief till next February. Indeed, we may say that we are sure they will not. There are some honest and bold hearts who not questioning those prerogatives in Parlia ment—the wires which move the royal puppet which Tories and Whigs alike work to their own advantage--but making some direct motion, will bring the House of Commons to a decision on the question, in substance, whether the patience and the obedience of the shivering, half-fed, and half clothed people, shall be put—while their suffer ings are unrelieved and uncared for—to the test of the winter. If it be the first plan of Sir R. PEEL'S Government to prorogue the Parliament, and throw the people on their own resources, while that Parliament, by its laws, cuts up their resources by the root, we must hold him and his colleagues up to the indignation of the living generation, and the execration of posterity, as the provokers of disobedience, disturbance, and rebellion. If the power of the Executive Go vernment is to be employed in upholding such laws—laws infinitely worse than no laws at all— the very existence of such a coercive Govern ment will be itself anarchy, and wild anarchy will be the result of its acts. The Tories will, no doubt, wish to shuffle off the business, and pro rogue Parliament, that they may enjoy office and salary undisturbed by the complaints of the wretches whom they se inhumanly doom to star vation; but we doubt if they will dare to•hazard the peace of the empire. Prorogue now ! Why, it rains—it's unplea santly cold : the weather has a November feel, and the harvest is not yet gathered in. Fields of corn are yet unharvested, and even uncut in the south, while in the north they are not yet ripe. The supply which can be obtained from abroad, if we ransack the whole world, will not, as the Herald has informed the public, exceed two millions of quarters of wheat. Week after week the aspect of public affairs changes with the weather. The fate of the people, and with that the fate of the Government, hangs on a few days' sunshine or rain. Making sport as it were of knowledge, science, and all human discretion, and reducing civilized society to the condition of the savage, who from ignorance cannot provide for to-morrow, Tory legislation has brought so ciety and the Government to a sorry dependence on contingencies, against which human prudence, if not interfered with by brutal legislative rapa city and legislative ignorance, can and would provide.. The QUEEN is dependent on Sir R. PEEL; Sir R. PEEL is dependent on the consti tuencies; the constituencies are dependent on the weather; and the weather, in spite of con stituencies, PEEL. and the QUEEN, positively for bids the prorogation of Parliament till it has taken some steps to abate the sufferings of the people. Parliament does not possess the power, indeed, to undo the mischief it has done. It cannot wipe out the effects of its own deeds. It cannot raise crops on the sudden, though it has, with great malignity, forbidden them to be raised. What it can do is to show symp a thy with the people, and abolish its restrictions on raising food, which will immediately encourage persons to prepare for next year; and imme diately stimulate the capitalists to give employ ment to more labourers here, and enable them to buy food while it will point to the employment of as much land as possible in the cultivation of that species of food which will next year be the earli est ripe. It may be the wish and intention of the new Prime Minister to prorogue Parliament till after Christmas. We beg to tell him most plainly, but most respectfully, that he must not, without first doing something for commerce and the people, unless he desires to provoke a wide spread sedition. If it come, on his head be the guilt and the punishment. The following paragraph was carefully copied into the Post yesterday morning:— THE FACTORY SYSTEM.--It must be apparent to every one residing in a manufacturing district, that the indis criminate mixing of the sexes in our factories is a most prolific source of demoralization and pauperism. In almost every case of application of illegitimate children that has come before the Magistrates here or at Hud dersfield the mother had been working in a factory, and in order to that application it was necessary that she should have received relief from the parish, thereby making herself a pauper. It is high time that some legislative enactment was in force to put a check to this growing and debasing evil.—Leeds Intelligence,. Though the palpable explanation of the circum stance of all illegitimate children being born of mothers who work in factories, is probably to be found in the fact that the majority of women who work at all work in them, the factory owners and those who consider the manufactu ring system, though perhaps not carried on ex actly to their theory on the present plan, as an essential step in the progress of society, will ne vertheless see in this paragraph a specimen of those systematic attacks on the factory system • which the allies of the landlords are now making. The paragraph is not more rational than if we were to say of any agricultural district—Almost every case of application on account of illegiti mate children that comes before the magistrates of hundred, the mother has been working in the fields, or has been a farmer's servant, and therefin.e agriculture must be a prolific source of demoralization. If we were able to prove that in proportion to population the illegitimate births, and mothers seeking relief; are greater than in the factory districts, we might well exclaim it is high time that some Legislative enactment was put in force to check this growing'und de basing evil. But that would be as foolish a mode of meeting the complaint as the complaint is a foolish mode of retorting on the factory owners. We shall not have recourse to such a mode. ‘Ve call the attention of factory owners to it in order to show them that all kinds of means are now employed to make them and their system odious to the public. On Saturday the Times contained a long article, being an account of the life of Wm. Donn, a factory cripple, which was obviously intended to nurture a prejudice against factories and against the factory system. It is absurd, we are well aware, to meet the demands of the manu facturing capitalists for a free trade in corn by pointing to the cruelties which may be practised possibly in his establishment. It is no excuse for the rent owners, that the factory owners are unjust. Let them first pull the beam out of their own eye, then they may possibly see clearly to pluck the mote out of the eye of the factory owner. At the same time it is palpable that such statements will make an impression on the community; and the factory owners, if they wish their cause to prosper, must be prepared to meet and repel them. Jf they cannot repel them, at least they should be pre pared to show that the factory system has many compensations for those cases of individual cruelty. It sometimes cripples a youth, as what employment does not, but it nourishesmanyithou sands or millions. The case of DODD, quoted by the Times, might be easily paralleled in the agri cultural districts. Scores and even hundreds of persons may be found there whose limbs have been bent and crippled by exposure to the wea ther, by sleeping on the damp earth, or by rheu matism, caught by exposure to the atmosphere hi all seasons, and at all hours. But the factory owners must do more than that ; they must show that their system is a ne cessity ; that it is full of blessings, teeming with freedom, improvements, and inventions and that it only requires a little subsidiary care to become as ornamental as it is useful. They have unfortunately neglected the embellishments of which it is susceptible. They must adorn their workmen's houses to relieve them from f.e cha: - meter of stables or barracks. A great deal is effected by appearances, and the dingy look of our manufacturing towns, — the rows of small unadorned houses, though they may abound in comfort, give to sentimental travellers a very unfavourable impression of our manufacturing towns, and lead them readily to believe that they are the abodes of all that is physically and morally abominable and pesti lential. If the factory owners wish to have fair play, they .must exert themselves to place their system in its proper light before the public. If they cannot effect that, and sentimental horror continues to afford'a pretext to the hu mane and charitable, but perhaps unthinking portion of the community to support the unjust Corn-laws, they are likely to suffer under them f'r some time longer. This class affords a power ful support to the landlords, and to that nume rous class of labourers who see in the capi talists, as they invent and employ machi nery—without reflecting to how many per sons the new machinery gives employment—only avaricious men, who, utterly regardless of the labourers, deprive them of employment to en rich themselves. There is, on this account, no inconsiderable degree of hatred between the capi talists and the labourers of the manufacturing towns. It has been carefully nourished by poli tical demagogues, we admit, but as long as it exists, and as long as the sentimentalists can discover nothing in these towns but barracks and chimnies, they are not likely to obtain from the Legislature that justice which is due to every class and every man in the community. They constitute a comparatively new portion of our society, and are regarded with repug nance by the older portions. They have no adverse interest, but they have a differ ent appearance, which enables those who wish to plunder also to decry them and generate an opinion that in resisting the repeal of the Corn laws they confer a favour on the labourer, and only oppose the greedy desire for riches of the factory owners. The subject is worthy, we think, of their attention and we may, perhaps, recur to it. Some persons seem inclined to regard SIR ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet as composed of Liberal in equal proportion with Orange or Starvation politicians. Those persons, however, reckon Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of RtroN, amongst the Liberals, while the fact is, that all these, being apostates and renegades, will show their Tory zeal to be more Tory than the Ultra-Tories themselves. Add to these the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and the Cabinet appears to us as unfavourable to all the ptinci ples of personal and commercial liberty as could be framed. To give it a full measure of Orangeism Colonel PERCIVAL is now a Lord of the Treasury, and nothing is wanting but Lord RODEN in the Household to make it as complete an Orange Ministry as the PEEL Ministry of 1834-1835. We shall soon learn, however, as the new writs will be moved for this day, by the ad dresses to the electors of Tamworth, Lancashire, and Dorchester, what are the principles to be espoused in common by Lord STANLEY, Sir Ro- BERT PEEL and Sir E. KNATCHBULL. We look for no details, but the principles on which this mix ture of Reformers and anti-Reformers have agreed we shall expect to see. It has long been the opinion of all sensible men that nothing is to be got from any Ministry but by dragging it from them, and therefore, whatever may be Sir ROBERT PEEL'S opinions, the Reformers, to have reform, must drag it from the clutches of the Tories. We have received the Pe Papers of Mon day, which are unusually barren. For some time past the change in our Ministry has formed the principal topic of discusSion for them, but that seems now exhausted, and they have not yet found another subject of equal interest. The disarmament recommended by Sir ROBERT PEEL, which is so truly a Whig sentiment, and and so truly conformable to Whig policy, that it was much more cheered by the Whigs than by the Tories, continues to be discussed by the Na tional, and is noticed by the Presse. Between the Liberal or Democratic Journals of France and England, each "speaking, we believe, the sen timents of the people, there is this differ ence, that the former hate disarming, and are all for war, while the latter are all for peace and the cultivation.of commerce. The National sees, on the accession of the Tories to power—and in this takes a juster view than when it con &inns disarming—the complete reconstruction of the Holy Alliance of the Restoration against all that appertained to the Empire. The Presse, speaking, we believe the language of the Prime Minister, and expressing Ills:hopes, takes an op posite view. It says : ' The political horizon was lately rather overclouded. The elections in England, and the advent of a Tory Cabinet, might have given rise to some agitation abroad ; and with us the census had produced dis turbances which, though not serious, still kept the pub lic mind in a state of alarm. But now all appre hension, all uncertainty has vanished. England was never so tranquil. The Tory Cabinet proclaims the policy of peace, and as a manifest token of its intentions, gives the first example of disarming. By the Ist of January the British navy will be reduced one-third. On the Continent we behold the same spirit of peaceful policy. Prussia 'will disband the greatest' part of her army, after the . autumnal reviews of this year. We learn from Vienna that the Austrian army likewise will be considerably reduced. In France the Government will have the good sense to follow such salutary examples. The disturbances that had but lately agitated some parts of the kingdom are appeased. Never, in short, has our external and internal situation been more satisfactory, or held out better prospects for the future. And it is at so favourable a juncture that our Three per Cents. are kept down to 76, when only a year ago they were at 85, and at this very moment the Eng lish Three per Cents. arc at 90. Is not such a rate in complete contradiction with the tendencies of public opinion and the state of public credit ? " The budget of 1843 is balanced. Our attention, then, is now drawn to the wants of the Treasury for 1841 and 1842. After paying off the half-year due on the 22d September, the Finance Minister will still have at his disposal a sum of 100,000,000 francs, to which must be added the daily receipts and the produce of taxes. With this capital before hitn, the Minister, who doubtless knows how to count, does not think it necssary to listen to the advice of those who are continually crying out to him to make haste. ~.More confident, and better able to judge, than those advisers of the future destiny of France, lie hopes that our funds will rise to be more on a level • with our resources and our great national riches. " We are not, therefore, surprised at a delay of which others seem to complain. We rather rejoice to see it adopted, because it proves that Goverment sees no dark cloud on our political horizon, and fears no chances un favourable to our general prosperity, which would of course influence the price at which money might be raised when it shall think In to make a loan. • Know 1101. to abide your time and good will Come.' was the motto of a very able predecessor of M. Humann, Count de Villele; the maxim is, at the present day, both useful and easy of practice, for no situation calls less for haste and hurry than the actual state of the country." Whence the Presse may have derived its in formation of the reduction of our navy we are not aware, but if Sir It. PEEL take any such step, where will be the thunder of the Times, and the lightning of the other Tory Journals, which have incessantly deMandyd a great increase Of the navy. The Presse is probably completely misinformed on this point, and has interpreted Sir It. PEEL'S verbal communication to the French Government, that the English fleet in the Mediterranean will be reduced; into a pro mise of a general reduction of our navy, which the circumstances of the country and the policy of the Tories will not warrant. Some excitement had prevailed at Paris, in consequence of a report that the French corvette Victorieuse had been seized on by the Spanish Government at Mahon, but the Moniteur has twice denied the statement, which seems there fore unfounded. • The following are all the miscellaneous extracts which are of any interest : M. Tests, Minister of Public Works, is at present at Lyons, visitin,, , r the most remarkable of• the manufac turing establishments in that city. - • According to the Magdeburg Gazette two capitalists of Leipsic have obtained from the Russian Government the contract for making a railroad from St. Petersburgh to Moscow, the conditions they offered being much more favourable than those of the Russian speculators. M. Saglio, Deputy and Vice-President of the Council- General of the BaS Rhin, was coining fr.3m the sitting of the Council, a few days since, at Strasburg, when lie fell down in an apoplectic fit, and died immediately. Th e members of the bar of Age% have pronounced ~lieir opinion again,,t, the legality of the Ordonnance for I dissolving the Municipality of Toulouse. - The Civil Tribunal - of Caen has recently decided that the`29th of July being a legal fete day, no debtor is lia ble to be arrested upon it. " Prince Milosh," says a letter from Vienna, " wore a most magnificent costume when he was presented the other day to the Emperor. He had a sort of tunic of sky-blue, embroidered with gold and pearls • on his breast were the insignia of several ord ers in diamonds, and the Grand Cross of the Iron Crown ; on his head was a kind of Slavic kolpack of the finest sable, to which a heron's' feather was attached by a magnificent diamond agraffe ; by . his side he wore the sabre, studded with gold and precious stones, which the late Sultan Mahmoud sent him six years ago. His appearance has produced quite a sensation in our Court circles." The Director of the central House of Detention at Clermont has contradicted the statement of several apart men' being prepared there for Mme. Laffarge. So far from this being the case, he states that it is impossible to allow her even a cell entirely to herself'. Various papers in Normandy, and in the north-east of France, state that the harvest has turned out much better than was expected. The graziers near Caen have had every reason to be contented with the season. The Courrier de Lyons relates an anecdote of the Duke d'Aumale, who was marching some days ago near Cham forgueil, accompanied by two of his officers at a little distance from the regiment. His Royal Highness was op pressed with heat, and thirsty, and meeting two country women carrying milk, asked them for some. He was at first refused, the women looking at the young dusty soldier with suspicion as to his means of payment. At length they gave him some, and the prince having taken a hearty draught, gave a piece of gold to the woman to pay for it. The latter, not having anything like sufficient change, said to her companion—" This is always the way with these soldiers ; they offer you money which they know you cannot change, arid so they get off without paying at all, but I shall not be caught again," and she was going to give the money back ; but the Duke, who had been laughing heartily at her, said—" Never mind, my good woman, keep it, and give me the change when I come this way again." The woman overwhelmed her customer with thanks, and left him without the slightest suspicion as to he was. " At St. Petersburgh, on the 18th ult.," says the Pos And Gazette, " the audience at one of the principal theatres, perceiving a great light behind the curtain, an ticipated some grand display of fireworks, and began to express their delight by, clapping and shouts of applause. This delusive joy was only increased, instead of being converted into terror, by the appearance in front of the stage of an actor, vociferating the house was on fire ; for the people believed that this was a trick of the scene, and continued their noisy acclamations. To unde ceive them, the manager ordered the curtain to be raised and exposed to them the flames, which soon invaded the whole building. The' rush to the door became instantly so violent, that many persons were killed or dreadfully injured before they could make their escape. There was another issue, but it was closed, and in ordinary times is not to be opened without the authority of the police-officer, who had not yet arrived. A man, seeing the urgency of the occasion, rushed through the flames, and, at the risk of his life, forced the way open, and thus saved many from destruction. We have not heard the details of the results of the accident, but have learnt that, on the following day, the brave man, to whom so many others owed their lives, was invested with an honourable distinction by the Emperor's own hand, and bad secured to him a pension for life of 2,000 f." On,Saturday an experiment was made, on the Meudon and - Versailles railroad, of an engine made by M. Pau wels. The Ministers of the Interior and Commerce, M. *rand, Under Secretary of State for Public Worki, M. Bineau, Chief Engineer of Mines , M. Se guier, of the Institute, and other personages, had been invited to witness the experiment, and were con veyed by this engine in two waggons to Versailles and back. The traject from Paris to Versailles was made in 15 minutes, giving a velocity of 64 kilometres, or 39 miles 6 furlongs per hour. At Meudon the feeding pipe burst, and from thence to Versailles little or no power was derived from the steam. The return was effected in 14 minutes, the hole in the pipe having been stopped. If the pipe had not burst, there is no doubt but that the distance would have been done in 12 minutes, being at the rate of 80 kilometres, or 55 miles 7 furlongs per hour. PARIS, SEPT. 6.—The Moniteur of this morning has no official part. We find the following article in the Maniteur Algerien of the 30th of August : " All the latest accounts from Oran agree in stating that the nomination of Hadji Mustapha Ouli d'Osman Bey to the post of Bey of Mostaganem and Mascara, has given the greatest satisfaction to the tribes which live near the Chelif. ".At the departure of the packet Mostaganem was full of Arabs, who came to pay their respects to the new Bey, and to offer him hostages as pledges of their submission. The number of the partizans who have already declared for him, was already sufficiently considerable for him, if he had thought fit to put himself at their head and shown himself in public, but he had judged it best to wait for the return of his brother, the Khalifa Ibrahim, who has come to Algiers for the standard, the band of music, &c. with which it is usual for the Bey to be ac companied. Ibrahim, who left Algiers on Tuesday, pro bably arrived at Mostaganem on the 25th of this month. The Illoniteur Algerien subjoins to this article extracts of letters received from Mostaganem, which describe the actual departures of the tribe. The same journal says, that some tribes in the province of Constantine had ma nifested intentions to rebel, and had committed depreda tions, which were speedily put a stop to.—Le Conslitu tionnd, Sept. 6. PARIS, SEPT. s.—We have spoken of the report tha t the Municipal Council of Paris would shortly be dis solved. From the further inquiries we have made, we believe that we may affirm that this report is wholly un founded.. The Minister was much vexed, as we know, by the protest of the municipality on the subject of the census, but his vexation has passed over, and he would imprudently strike a blow at such an Assembly. In pro testing, whether with or without reason, against the mea sures which alarm it, the Municipal Council of Paris only exercised a right. We may blame the use it has made of it, but not punish it for it. It is not such protests that the Government should repel, but those that are armed.—Le Temps, Sept. 6.

The representative of France has expressed much displeasure that the lease of the Isla del hey, at Mahon, has not been renewed. Some apprehensions were en tertained that the anniversary of the Conven tion of Bergara might give rise to tumults, but it passed over quietly. Preparations were making to celebrate the anniversary of the Pronunciamento of September, but that was to be all festivity. The Spanish Five per Cents. were 26 3-16 for cash, and 261 at G 0 days. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The accounts from . Madrid of the 21st ult. state that the anniversary of the conclusion of the treaty of Bergera had passed over without any official manifestations, but that great prepara tions were making for the celebration of the an niversmy of the pronunciamento of September. The Government bad not yet obtained the ad vance of 60,000,000 of reals. The Commerce state& that the orders for the French ships stationed off Barcelona to stand out to sea was pr o b a bl y caused by the French Go vernment wi s hi ng t h at they might not be oblig e d to take part i n th e celebration of the anniversary of the revolution of September. The Moniteur of Tuesday contradicts the re port of the detention of the war corvette Victo rieuse by the authorities of Mahon. According to accounts from Toulon of the 2d inst. eight ships of the line are to be placed in ordinary, and a. • squadron of six others, commanded by Admiral Casy, had been ordered to Brest, to be held in observation of events in America until the final result of the affairs of M'Leod becomes kmown. The fiscal measures of M. Humann were be ginning to encounter less opposition in the de partments. Th e N ational Guard of Villenou velle had been di ssolved by Royal ordinance, for having express e d a decided opinion against them. The weather had again become fine in Paris. The accounts of the crops in Britanny and the north of France continued to be satisfactory. The price of wheat had increased in seven of the provincial markets of France, and fallen in thirteen. There was no change in the Paris market on Monday. ' - ---- -- - TELE WEATHER —NOON, SEPTEMBER 8. ROYAL GALLERY 01, SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET Barometer .............. ...... 29.85 In.

DORSET..—GA ME. - -Thursday was the com mencement of the partridge shooting season. Birds are plentiful and strong on the wing; but we understand that the sportsmen in this neighbourhood, in consequence of the lateness of the harvest, have established a full understanding to refrain from sporting for some days until the crops shall have been housed.—Somerset Gazette, S Fi S AND Vtibitt Q pinion. " Who runs may read." POREXGN. The latest arrivals from Paris bring a repetition on Tuesday of the official contradiction in the Moniteur of the reported detention of the Victorieuse at Mahon. The Toulon fleet is to be immediately dismantled, and eight ships of the line laid up in ordinary. The purpose of sending a portion of the fleet to Brest, announced yesterday, is said to be to watch the termination of the M'Leod affair, and be in readin e ss s h ou ld an ythi ng un pleasant arise from that. It is probably a. part of the agreement for disarming in the Mediterranean. M. Humann's fiscal measures are triumphing over re sistance, and to help him and them, the Government has disbanded the N a ti ona l G uar d o f Ville Nouvelle, because it was against them. Fine weather had returned in Paris. In seven pro vincial markets the price of wheat had risen : it had fallen in thirteen. Vice-Admiral Dupotet had returned to Brest, from the Brazilian station, in the Atalante frigate. A letter from Beyrout, of the 2d ult., announces that the principal Chiefs of Lebanon and Palestine met on the 30th of July, and resolved to refuse the payment of tribute to the Porte, or to submit to the authority of Tahir Pasha. The German papers publish a document dated Kirch berg, August 27, signed by the professional attendants of the Duke de Bordeaux, stating that his cure would be complete, and that he would be able to use his leg as well as if it had not been broken. The King and Queen of Prussia left Berlin on the the 30th ult. for Leignitz in Silesia. The Archdukes Ferdinand, Charles, and Maximilian, of Austria were also to repair thither, and the Emperor of Russia was expected. The King of Hanover had written to the King of Prussia to say that he could not attend on ac count of his grief for the loss of the Queen. Orders have been given at Madrid to arrest Narvaez wherever he may be found. A report prevailed in that capital that there had been a sedition at Segovia, in which a company of infantry had participated. PARLIAMENTARY. Lord Brougham presented a petition last night in the House of Lords from an individual complaining of the law of ejectment, which had kept him involved in a law suit since 1820. The Noble Lord called their Lordships' attention to several other laws which still remained, though dormant, on the statute-book, which imposed penalties for trifling offences, and which any person might at any time awaken into operation. The Noble Lord alluded to the statutes imposing penalties for mis takes, which, as in the case of the Earl of Scarborough, their Lordships were obliged to suspend, and to the statutes under which the Magistrates were compelled to fine persons who did not go to Church on Sundays. His Lordship did a public service by calling attention to these worn-out laws. The Foreign Consecration of Bishops Bill was read a third time, after the Archbishop of Canterbury had ex plained that the object was to regulate better the con gregations of the English settled in foreign countries. The Administration of Justice Bill was read a third time ; Lord Campbell's amendment relative to Irish bar risters was added, and the Bill passed. The Earl of Glengall wished to get up a debate about the Irish franchise, but the Duke of Wellington checked the Noble Earl. His Grace has no longer a Government to annoy. The House sat till six o'clock. A considerable number of election petitions was pre sented in the House of Commons, as was the case the day before. Sir G. Clerk gave notice that he would this day move the adjournment of the House till the 16th, not the 20th, as was expected. Some notices were given, and some were withdrawn, but no business of importance was transacted. The House rose at Half-past Five o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times reads Mr. Roebuck a lesson of gentility, with reference to his alleged interruptions of Hon. Mem bers in the House of Commons. Our Contemporary is certainly well fitted to play the part of political Arbiter Elegantiaruni, so rarely indeed is it that lie offends against courtesy in his attacks on public individuals ! We sub join his observations on this edifying theme :—" Nothing could be further from our habitual civility, or more at variance with our known respect for the humbler orders of our countrymen, than to represent Mr. Roebuck as a nuisance. Having been made an honourable gentleman by dint of getting into Parliament, that elevated person has an undoubted right to exercis e th e pr i v il eges of his sphere —w e admit it. That those privileges entitle him to fling orange peel at the principal performers, or to have a sally at the dress-boxes now and then, might not, if his class license were moderately used, be reasonably complained of. Chartists, such as he, are chartered men ; and their occasional impertinences are both expected and endured. But Mr. Roebuck and his associates must not be permitted entirely to forget their station. That he should be allowed to injure everything at his mere pleasure is wholly out of the question. If he do not know his just limits and latitude, the lesson must be seasonably taught him. In point of personal and political influence, he is just as fit to take a lead in modifying the New Poor-law as the one-shilling gentry of Drnry-lane."— So it seems that no one is to cry, " Hear, hear !" or " Oh, oh !" when a Tory Member is talking nonsense, except at the peril of being denounced as a nuisance by the thunderer of Printing-house -square ! Every Whig and Radical must preserve a discreet—a sacred silence there must be no disapprob a ti on o f Mi n i ster i a l sayings expressed ; if otherwise, the offending party will be in stantly denounced by the Times. Our Contemporary, being a staunch monopolist, is naturally anxious to keep the monopoly of interruption in the hands of his friends, the Tories, prefening the bray of a Botthwick to the " Oh, oh !" of a Roebuck. The truth is, he is jealous of the latter gentleman's interference with his pet grievance, the Poor-laws. In another part of the same article the Times makes the following sneering allusion to Six James Graham : "We do not and cannot forget Sir James Graham's highly objectionable demeanour as a Member of the Commons' Committee for inquiring into the operation of the new law. Unless that Right Hon. person have ma terially modified his views and temper in connexion with this subject, we can only anticipate that he would and will do everything in his power to prevent any essential improvement in its provisions and machinery." —It was but the other day that the Times was lauding the great political sagacity of the new Home Secretary, yet now a shrewd doubt is expressed of the wisdom of his " views," in reference to one of the most important subjects that can engage the attention of the Legislature ! The Advertiser contains the following remarks on Poor-laws:— "No more tinkering of the Poor-laws will suffice to mitigate, to any perceptible extent, the seve rity of that distress which Sir Robert Peel admits to exist in the manufacturing districts of the country. Th e Voor-rate is but a clumsy and Inefficient attempt to com pensate by legal charity the Injustice done to the indus trious classes, by depriving them of an equitable share of the produce of their labour. If laws are made to force the rich to give trims, surely they ought t o b e made to force them to g i ve a just participation to active indus try of the wealth it is the means of creating. This would supersede the necessity of such a demoralizing de pendence as that which now exists betwe en t h e poor and the rich, rendering the former discontented and the lat ter apprehensive.." _ The Morning Post advocates the policy of the Corn laws in this left-handed fashion :—" The Corn -laws are undoubtedly a restraint upon trade. They are unques tionably a limitation, and a very important limitation of its freedom. But other things more important to this nation than absolute and universal freedom of trade de mand that native agriculture should be, up to a certain point, guarded from the probable effect of unrestricted foreign competition. What would be said of the reason ableness of a man who should insist upon regarding the question of the policy of the laws against the publica tion of libels, blasphemies, and seditions, merely upon the principles of free publication ? Would not such a person be at once set down as very stupid, or so con tracted of mind as to be incapable of considering a large question upon broad foundations ? No one will dispute the importance of the general principle of free publication. Neither do we dispute the importance of the general principle of free trade."—And yet, though our Contemperary is perfectly aware of the importance of the principle of free trade, he supports wne party who take office avowedly on the principle of restriction, and opposes another who advocate his own views on the subject ! He, who does not dispute the importance of free trade, sides with a Monopolist Ministry, who think it a sheer humbug Such is party consistency ! We quote the following from the Herald :—" The circumstances which have caused tht3 late;change of Mi nistry—the serious position of public affairs to which the new Administration, after a long exclusion from office, succeeds—the unusual time for the assembling of the present Parliament, and the necessity for the holding of another Session at the beginning of the next year —all induce us to believe that, with the completion of those measures which are indispensable to the public service, and the passing of a few that are required by pressing necessity, the business of the present Session of the Le gislature will close. The demand which the new Mi nistry will thus make on the confidence of the country is anything but extravagant ; they will ask no more than every Ministry has possessed from time immemorial— the opportunity of a recess from public business to devise and complete such plans as they may deem ne cessary fir the welfare of the nation whose destinies they control." The Chronicle says ;—" The Manchester Conference set a good example by addressin g a memorial to the Queen. Th e resu l t of the late elections has rendered this course not only judicious, but necessary. The re sponse of the people to her Majesty's appeal has been quashed or intercepted. By factious management and trick, the constituencies were made to answer a different question from that which it was her Majesty's purpose to submit to their decision. There is no doubt whatever upon this fact. 16 is so stated and affirmed, over and over again, by Tory journals and Tory statesmen. The con stituencies, under all the influences to which they are subject, even they have not replied to the Royal appeal on the Corn-laws; much less the nation. Nor can such an answer he conveyed through the landlords' Parliament. It will not find its way through a Tory Government. Let it be borne at once to the foot of the Throne. Let her Majesty receive that respectful response from the millions which has been refused by the bread-taxing few, in the plenitude of their power and triumph. All Anti- Corn-law associations and meetings, All societies or con gregations co-operating with them, should address the queen, het them reply to the yet unanswered appeal, and disregarded speech, And it may not be amiss to take care that such addresses reach her Majesty. Peers are entitled to present them personally."—This is a shrewd hint, which, we trust, will be generally acted on by the people. The Tyne Mercury thus speaks of the prospects of the new Ministry :—" If Sir Robert should adhere to the ultras, it is quite i m p oss ibl e h e can manage the Govern ment. If he should go over to the moderates, the ultras would oppose him to the utmost. Indeed, the Tory papers are now openly admitting that he .and his pro posed colleagues are very awkwardly situated. They seem to see from present circumstances that their party will probably have but a very short reign ! Yet this is the party of whom we havc been told that its members hold together in such a way that nothing could separate it, or split it, or in any way divide it—that it was firm and impregnable—that like a hollow square of British infantry, it set all opposition at defiance ! Alas! their's is, indeed, a very holhw square 1" The Brighton Guardian contains the' following re marks on the New Cabinet :—" In the present Cabinet the manufacturing and town population has no repre sentative. It is therefore not only completely one-sided as to party, but as to classes and pursuits. It is not only Tory, it is wholly landed ; it is not only wholly landed, it is also anti-commercial. It is the Ministry of a class and a sect. The very names of those who com pose it are ominous. Amongst them are fanatics for high-church principles. It is a Ministry of extreme opinions and a narrow party. It must be looked on as hostile to dissent as well as trade, as the patron equally of fiscal and religious extortion." The Dublin _Pilot observes :—" Peel is made Prime Minister upon the principle of persecuting our country, and preserving monopoly- over all. If he falsifies the principle upon which he is chartered, he betrays his trust, and will fall unpitied by both parties. But he acts already true to his principle. The man who has already made Jackson a Solicitor-General, must re-establish the principle of the Kildare-place Society." COMMERCIAL REFORM. On Tuesday evening an influential meeting of the in habitants of Somers'-town was held at the Bee Hive, Chapel-street, Somers'-town, to consider the existing evil —Corn-laws. The room was very crowded, and Mr. Sidney Smith spoke. A resolution was passed deter mining the organization of an Anti-Corn-law Associa tion, to be called the " Somers'-town and St. Pancras Anti-Corn-law Association." In Worcester, and various other places, several meet ings have been held at the Wesleyan and Independent chapels, of full congregations, listening to the details of the late Manchester Conference, and engaged in prayer meetings to alter the condition of the suffering poor, and put away complaining in the streets. .A.GRICIILTURILL. ----- At Newcastle the harvest is pretty general, and will be entirely so before the week closes. Though the crops are thin, little injury has been sustained. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Two first-rate Indiamen have been recently burned in the port of Mauritius. The David Scott, of London, in June last, having on boerd a very rich cargo, ignited by a spark in the spirit-room, and was consumed to the water's edge. The loss is 30,0001. On the 21st of the same month, the magnificent ship the Republic took fire, it is supposed from gunpowder on board, and was also totally consumed ; this ship is insured. Both, fortu nately, were unattended with loss of life. The magnificent vessel, Belleisle, after sailing to Dub lin, has returned to Cork. She has now weighed anchor for Plymouth, whence 'she proceeds to the Mediterranean. LAW AND POLICE. On Tuesday Jules Le Jeuae,;FTenchman, was charged at Union Hall with committing an assault on Mr. John Maddox, at Vauxhall Gardens. The latter had incautiously addressed some ladies, but begged par don. Le Jenne, however, kicked him in the abdomen, and injured him severely. The defendant was called upon to find sureties for his appearance at the Sessions. George Charles Smith, of Wellclose-square, a noted open-air preacher, known by the title of " Boatswain Smith," appeared at Guildhall before Alderman Pine, on a charge of causing obstruction by preaching in Bar tholomew Fair, with a group of children about him, habited as soldiers and sailors, singing hymns. Alder man Pine remarked that he had heard of Mr. Smith as a worthy preacher, and a doer of much good, and he should be sorry to interfere with such a man, Mr. Smith had stationed himself in the middle of the pens, so that no obstruction had been caused. ELECTIONEERING. At a meeting recently held at Trentham Inn, it was determined by the electors of the county of Stafford to present Edward Buller, Esq., M.P., with a piece of plate, as a testimony of their esteem for his conduct in Parlia ment as their representative. SCIENCE AND ART. The report that Mr. Faraday's indisposition obliged him to discontinue his scientific labours is totally untrue. Mr. Faraday, though temporarily indisposed, has re covered, and is now enjoying himself with excellent health and spirits in Switzerland. THEATRICAL. Mr. Davidge, the proprietor of the Surrey Theatre died on Monday night, after a protracted illness. It was at this theatre, it may be remembered, that Mr. Peter Borthwick first appeared as Othello, when he cleared the House as effectually as he cleared St. Stephens the other evening. There is no truth in the report that Mrs. Norton is about to appear on the stage. COUILT - Z'ASHION.A.BLE. The departure of the Lord Lieutenant will not take place till Thursday or Friday, when Lord de Grey ar rives to succeed him. Lord Fortescue, it is believed, will hold an undress levee on the morning of his departure, and afterwards proceed from the Castle to Kingston. The Duchess of Kent arrived at the baths of Kissin gen on the 28th ult. Lord Wharncliffe will give a Cabinet dinner to-morrow. Lord Hotham is improving in health, but is still unable to attend to. his Parliamentary duties. The Duchess of Buccleuch has accepted the office of Mistress of the Robes, lately held by the Duchess of Sutherland. The Earl and Countess of Granville are to leave Paris in a fortnight for Nice. Commodore Sir Charles Napier and family arrived at Havre on Sunday from Southampton. MISCELLANEOUS. v It is rumoured that, from a letter receied, another re mittance of 1,000 dollars will be forwarded frow New York to the Repeal Association, on the 10th of Septem ber, a day chosen, it is said, as the anniversary of an American victory over England. The Chronicle says—" We hear the Marquis of Lon donderry has refused to accept any diplomatic appoint ment from the monopolist Ministry." How cruel of the Noble Marquis ! He was just the sort of man to reflect lustre on such a Ministry, whether we regard his elo quence, his statesman-like coolness and sagacity, or his incomparable genius for discovering mares'-nests.

" The Animals' Friend Society" of Mark-lane, last week caused the owner of the cab 971, to be fined at the Police Committee, Guildhall, for having allowed a man to drive who had ill-treated the horse, and used threatening language, the offender having on a former occasion been deprived of his license at the instance of the Society, its officers having also then found him guilty of cruelty . to the horse.
