THE RAILWAY SUN IS NOW PUBLISHING, PRICE ONLY SIXPENCE. TO CORIitSPONDENTS. We have rcceived the Address of " A Working Man," from Ipiwicb, to the Clergy and Conservatives of England. The sentiments are well expressed, and do credit to the writer, but we are unable to find room fur the communication. they are at most one 90Cth part of the popula tion, at least one 200th part of the national in come; -but they happen to be much divided amongst themselves, both as to their own merits and duties, and as to the merits of Sir R. PEEL. They consist, moreover, of High Church and Low Church Rationalists and Evangelists, Puseyites, and Siineonites, with other ists and ites; and the influential part of them, who have lately rekindled the once bright embers of their faith, to whom is mainly due the zeal, however mischievous, of the priesthood, suspect and dislike Sir R. PEEL. A Puseyite, under the signature of " CA- TaoLicus," has attacked him in the Times, while the British Critic, the organ of the Puseyites, has furiously assailed him. Other ites have drawn their pens in his defence, and we have now lying before us a pamphlet, printed by an orthodox Church printer, signed " VEnUS," which defends Sir R. PEEL, and bitterly attacks the Critic and Mr. CATHOLICUS. The zealot party in the Church are uncompromising, thoroughgoing, downright men, and they hate trimmers and treacherous compromisers more keenly than they hate the Whigs. The priesthood, then, are divided amongst them selves, and one part of them only want to be re lieved from the apprehensions of the Whigs to make a vigorous attack on the worldly-minded Sir R. PEEL. Another body which thrusts forward Sir R. PEEL are the landlords, to keep up rent. They have no love fur the cotton-spinner's son. They use him for their purposes, and that is all. Should he not have the power to keep up rent, they will desert him. We believe that he will not have such a power,—that the effect and intention of the Corn-laws to starve down the population to a number very little greater than our own soil will, on an average, supply, ensures a great fall of rent, and a great injury to farmers, when ever one or two good harvests occur, as certainly as water finds its level. The selfish crew will then desert Sir R. PEEL, if he do not anticipate them, and try to preserve his seat, by kicking them off. These two bodies are Sir R. PEEL'S great supporters : they amount, combined, to less than 100,000 persons, and, by their help, he is to set justice at defiance, and turn aside the course of society. We make no account of the constituencies which the parsons and the landlords influence, because they will follow their leaders whenever they find it convenient to desert Sir ROBERT. They will feel in their pockets, sooner than their leaders, the ruinous effect of preserving mis chievous, selfish, and scoundrel laws, and will be more ready to cry out " Down With PEEL !" in a season of low prices, than ever they were to shout " PEEL for ever !" Neither do we prize as very forcible the an cient prejudices of the unreasoning, and the ap prehensions of the timid. The former lean on authority more than they support it, and look out for other help when it seems likely to fall to pieces. The latter will lose their fears in the reality, and a period of distress, surpassing their apprehensions, will make them look out for new leaders. The only effectual support Sir ROBERT will find are the landowners and the priesthood, both of which are daily declining in influence and power, from their arrogance and their avarice. If Sir R. PEEL be a prudent man, and look before he leaps, encumbered, as he now is, by the principles he has of late defended and sup ported only by a wrangling and disturbed priesthood, and a selfish body of land owners, whom he cannot possibly satisfy, he will hesitate to take the perilous spring. Either he must throw off his iniquitous prin ciples, or he will fall to the ground loaded with them. No power on earth can enable him to alight in safety on his feet, and their help will only the more surely and swiftly cast him down. To govern this commercial and half free country for any length of time on the principles of main taining the present system of class taxation and class plunder, whatever majority may at present vote for it, now that the toil-worn and suffering population are aroused to a sense of injustice— now that our moral and religious people are aware of its iniquity, and see the immense danger it involves—and now that our manufac turing classes are made painfully sensible of the ruin it is bringing on them, is impossible ; and whoever undertakes the task will be, as a politi cian, ruined fur ever. Our commercial intelligence speaks of bank rupts and of the apprehension of bankruptcy. We regret this; but it is to be expected. The many men of an alteration in the law has kept men struggling on, whom the Tory majority will drive to despair and insolvency. The same ma jority will probably induce our mechanics and manufacturers to expatriate themselves in greater numbers and as speedily as possible. The triumphant yells of the landlords and the parsons are the knell of Britain's greatness and her peace. Forward the Tories will not allow her to go, and backward, therefore, in the struggle—for " life is a fight" for nations as for individuals—go she must. The painful proofs of the commencement of the retrograde movement are now exhibited in bankruptcy, and in the alarm of bankruptcy. We Lave received a copy of the Imperial Firman, addressed by the Sublime Porte to FERIK PACIIA, Governor of Jerusalem, in favour of the Chris tian population of Syria. This document bears date the 24th of June, and is no doubt well intended ; but unless its execution be carefully watched over by the Consuls of the Great Powers, there appears to us no difficulty what ever in evading its provisions. The following is a translation:— The law permitting the Christian population of Syria to profess their religion and carry on their business, and all the favours and graces granted them by former Sultans, arc hence forth maintained. When members or superiors of convents have recourse to justice for anything done against them, the judges and authorities shall not take money from them fur justice, nor wrong nor oppress them. Any ac t of the ki n d kali be referred to and examined by the Sublime Porte. Monasteries and churches shall be respected, as well as their old exemptions and privileges. 'f he Greek, Armenian-Catholic and Armenian-Schismatic, must refrain from renewing their old contentions about their churches, and from calumniating each other. No innovation must be made in the old rules of the Oriental ritual, and for the grades and classes of priests and monks. When churches and monasteries suffer by fire or time, firmans will be granted for repairing them ; nor must the Judges receive presents on this occasion. The entrance of the church of Camanca is forbidden to the soldiers of the guard, who must have all reve rence for the Bishops of Jerusalem. Such is our sovereign will, &c. To prevent Turkish judges from taking bribes with both hands, and CI ristian sectaries from fighting tooth and nail, will requi. e a power more potent in Syria than the voice of the KHALIF- UL-ISLAM, arrayed in all the sanctity of the mantle of the Prophet. The vices which c . enturi es o f tyranny h ave i ngra i ned i n one race, and of be. eradicated peri o d o f d egra d at i on i n anot h er, are not to b , eradicated by the mere expression of the Imperial will. A couple of generations must at least p a i e n r t pass away, th e T ur k s an d C hrist i ans b e i ng mutually re strained by the h presence of a foreign P ower equa lly in d i l f fe s tit of tic::oth, e b before the biprejudi cesblessings s ando good unjust % c e o r n m .. ment can b e - ein a g enerally and permanently felt in Syria.

For several months the fears as to the health e of the Sultan have become serious. He is feeble and d e li cate, and as he continues to pursue his ener v a t ing habits,. his physi c i ans have few hopes of saving him. He is said also to be suffering under a liver complaint. Thursday's Extraordinary Express from Paris enabled us to anticipate the news published in Wednesday's journals. We except, of course, paragraphs of local in telligence to which we readily give insertion in our columns of this day. Poor M. MAntm, the e x _ Prefect of Toulouse, gets a dreadful mauling from the Opposition press, for setting forth in his defence that he did not shrink from shedding the blood of the factious. And yet what is there to wonder at in such a declaration ? • When was there ever a coward who was not cruel ? Who that ever fled before a mob would not shed their blood if he could with impunity ? And if no other proof of M. Mantles want of courage_ could be adduced, might we not refer to thi s ver y declaration made only when he found himself safe in the capital ? He did not dare to make such a boast at Toulouse.

Look before you leap is a homely proverb, pregnant with wisdom. Sir ROBERT PEEL, aided by Lord STANLEY and the majority of the repre sentatives, is about to leap into the Govern ment—has he looked at the means by which he is to carry it on? We think not, or he would foresee that his jump must end in a terrible fall. It is remarked, however, that every individual expects to draw the prize in the lottery of life, as well as in the lottery of Mr. litstr, and in the lottery of the criminal law, though there be a hundred or a thousand to one against him. Probably Sir ROBERT PEEL is no excep tion to the rule, and, like the burglar, he trusts to his luck to escape the fate which, in the majority of cases, overtakes him who violates the rules of prudence, or the principles of morality. Sir ROBERT PEEL is to jump into office to maintain and preserve our unrighteous legisla tion. he is to govern the people of England for their benefit, asking obedience on that ground; and he is to preserve a tax of 3d. per lb. on their sugar, in order to enrich a few hun dred planters, or maintain in splendour a few thousand emancipated negroes. He is, at the :same time professing throughout the same prin ciple of governing for the benefit of the people of England, to tax all the timber they use cent. per cent., to enrich a few shipowners and Ca nadian lumberers. He is also to maintain a tax on their bread, amounting at this moment to nearly 40 per cent. on the price of corn, for the purpose of adding to the wealth of a few thou sand idle landlords and mischievous parsons. Sir Ronma PEEL, then, is to jump into office to promote the splendour of the few at the expense of the many, contrary to the very principle he professes, of promoting the happiness of the many, or the public benefit, and on adhering to to which alone, gives him, or any other Minister, a title to ask or expect the obedience of the people. Sir ROBERT PEEL IS to jump into office, also, express ly to prevent society from going a-head. .He is to mount on its back as a st rong man mounts a horse, and reinin the wh o l e popula la hanging or b an i shing tion) starv in g some, other: , —to run just as he bids. He is t o ma k e Government, and th at Go society subservient to vernment a Tory Government, not Government subservient to society. ithout knowi ng , or Leineat all able to • conjecture what will be th e condition of the community in the next few years, and without, therefore, having the most be required, will re mote conception of what laws lie jumps into office to maintain a nd preserve va both the institutions which have n o other being of but their antiquity, and those, which yesterday's date, like'the Corn laws, serve no other purpose than to maintain the po wer of the aristocracy. Sir ROBERT PEEL is to wag e war a, 'list the progress of society, and the od d s are that society will throw him. By what force is h e i n d uce d t o ma ke the spring, and what means will help him to keep his seat? First and foremost we place the priest hood. They are filled with dreadful alarm at the reforming sheers of the Whigs, who have already docked some of their superfluities. Their consciences tell them that their vocation will not bear looking at. They are as well aware` as we are, or better, of the hollowness of the pretences on which they demand the resp ect of the people. They know the utter falseness of their claims to be the messengers of the Divine will, and they are sensible that every day's experience —with the Press, as the real instructor of the people— demonstrates their uselessness to society. From this consciousness the bulk of the priesthood are - nectNsarily and essentially the enemies of a Re forming Administration, and they have given all the support in their power to men who profess a steadfast devotion to the ignorance of the past. They are the determined enemies of social pro gress, and have done all in their power to push Sir R. PEEL on the back of society, that he may keep it from going ahead. Tlixey are undoubtedly a powerful and wealthy 1)04- of I) •, men, numbering somewhere about ' l '; tiairiedand d' ' 1' d • iscip ine , like the Jesuits, to one end, an d possessing amongst them, while THE SUN, LONT)ON, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1841. I who has resided for several years in our city, was killed by a frightful accident. He was returning from the country seat of N .- eau, eight kilometres from Tours, where he was having some building erected, intending to go and reside there for some time. According to his custom, he was driving himself in his barouche and four, in which were his wife and several of his children, one of the wheels struck against a large mere stone by the road side with such violence that the stone was pulled up and thrown to a considerable distance. Mr. Villiers was thrown out of the carriage by the shock; one of the horses broke the traces and ran away ; the others continued their course, draeging Mr. Villiers ' who had twi s ted th e re i gns round his wrist, a wheel passed over his head, and his body dragged along a stony road, left everywhere tatters of his clothes, pieces of flesh, or traces of blood, Two servants, who were behind the carriage, were thrown off and have only some slight bruises. In the midst of their terror Mrs. Villiers and the children thought at least that Mr. Villiers had re mained at the place were he had been thrown. What was their `despair when, the horses stopping a t l engt h , t h ey al i ghted and saw the body of Mr. Villiers under the carriage in a state which we have not the courage to describe. Four years ago Mr. and Mrs. Villiers, on quitting a ball, lost a young daughter, who was the pride of her parents and the ornament of our saloons. Eighteen months ago one of their sons left Tours to enter into the English navy ; five months afterwards the vessel, on board of which he embarked for India, was wrecked in sight of Bombay, and the unfortunate young man met his death just at the end of his voyage. Possessed of a considerable fortune, Mr. Villiers spent his income in this country, where one of his daughters has lately married into an honorable family. All those who knew Mr. Villiers, did justice to his prohibity and goodness of heart; we therefore were not surprised to see his funeral attended not only by his countrymen, but also by a great number of Frenchmer, many of whom went without being invited.—La Gazette de France. The Journal Des Debats announces, af er a Belgian Journal the Memorial de la Sambre, that during the last visit of King Leopold to Paris, the Ministry had proposed to him to conclude a treaty of commerce between France and Bel gium, one of the principal conditions of which should be the transfer of the French line of Custom-houses to the frontiers of Belgium, towards Holland and Germany. We can affirm that such a proposal has never been seriously I entertained by any Ministry : such a Treaty would infallibly produce a disastrous destitution in the principal countries of industry in the departments of the North. The woollens, iron, and the coal of these depaitments could not stand a competi tion with those of Belgium. No French Chamber would sane tion a Treatry founded on bases so burdensome to our com merce with the North.—Le Constitutionnel. A letter from Valenciennes, of the 20th inst., states that the Bishop of Cambray, M. Louis Belmas, who is of very ad vanced age, finding his strength rapidly leaving him, had de sired to receive the last sacrament of the church, and conse quently, on the 16th inst., all the clergy of the place proceeded to the episcopal palace for the purpose. The ceremony was announced by the tolling of the bells of th e ca th e d ra l . Th e Bishop, notwithstanding his weak state, addressed to the per sons present a speech which lasted twenty minutes, and in which he recommended to the clergy of the chapter to pray for him, asking pardon for the faults which he might have com mitted in the course of so long a life, and expressing his desire to be interred in the Bishop's vault. He then took an affecting leave of his clergy after forty years of union and co-operation. The host was exposed in all the churches of the diocese on Sun day last, and at Valenciennes letters were read announcing that the Bishop had taken the last sacrament, and demanding the prayers of the inhabitants of the diocese. The Prelate still lies in the most precarious state. A remarkable phenomenon was witnessed at Marseilles on the 14th instant, where, between eleven and one in the day, a strong tide set in at the mouth of the harbour, and caused the level of the water to rise a foot and a half, knocking several ves sels against each other, and causing some alarm. At this port no tides are ever felt, and the cause of this sustden rise of the water is supposed to be connected with a volcanic phenomenon on the other side of the Mediterranean, accounts of which will probably be received at a future period. Some more stone coffins were found, yesterday, in front of St. Germain I'Auxerrois. They were placed close side by side, and hermetically covered by one large slab. They have been carried into the church, and deposited with the other newly-found relics. In consequence of the storms last week, the spinning mills cf M. Lizet de Tourville, at Pont-Audemer, were in undated. A good deal of machinery and the great water wheel were carried away by the flood. The loss is estimated at SO;000fr. Numerous visitors now go daily to the abattoir of Gre nelle, to see the extraordinary effect of the Artesian well. At the height of fifteen feet above the shed, which is itself forty five feet high, the water rises and forms a magnificent foun tain sixty feet in elevation, spreading in its fall to a diameter of thirty feet, exhibiting in the distance a gauze-like veil, and producing a sound equal to a powerful mill. At the point im mediately over the shed is placed a basin of zinc to receive this mass of water which a pipe conducts down its one side of the shed, and enables the men employed at the works to move about them without being inundated. It is decided that the tube is to be carried down to about 540 yards, at which point there will be no fear of any further obstructions. M. Mulot, sen., is gone to Boarges, where he is engaged in boring an Ar tesian well, already carried down to the depth of 200 yards. Messrs. Mulot have at this time in hand fifteen similar under takings in different departments. An officer of the Legion of Honour, living in retirement as Rheims, put an end to his existence, a few days ago, in the following singular manner. He went out to take his daily walk, attended by his dog, which he led by a string. When at same distance from the town, he took the string from the dog's collar, and with it suspended himself to a tree. A boy was witness of this sad scene, and was willing to interfere and pre vent the consequences, but was prevented from approaching the unhappy actor in it by the fierceness of the dog. The boy then ran to call for assistance, but it arrived too late, for, before the cord could be cut, life was extinct. The conduct of the de ceased had given rise for some time to suspicions that his rea son was failing ' • and in one of his pockets wa s a no t e , request ing that his body might not be carried home, in order that his widow should be spared the afflicting spectacle. A young woman, named Emilie Rousseau, and a young man, against whom eighteen warrants have been out for seve ral months, for acts of robbery, were arrested two days ago. Pretending to be brothers, and the young woman being dressed in male attire, they used to present themselves at furnished hotels and hire rooms, always choosing those which looked into the street. After two or three nights, the young woman would return alone, telling the porter that her brother would be absent till next day. During the night, she used to lower from the window the sheets and other linen and move ables to her associate, who carried them off, and next morning would leave the house before the robbery was discovered. They have been eommitted for trial. The Liberal du Nord states that in the night of the 17th inst. the troops of the garrison of Douai were suddenly roused by sound of trumpet, and a hundred men of the 2d Artillery marched off for the suppression of a disturbance in the neigh bouring commune of Aoyelles-Godault, in the Pas-tle-Calais. It appears that, by a recent decision of the Tribunals, some marsh land, which had been illegally possessed by some inhabitants of the commune, had been awarded to the original owner, and the occupiers ordered to remove their crops and give up possession. The occupiers having resisted the decree, some gendarmes were called in, but they and the owner, who accompanied them, were beaten and driven off. The Procureur du Roi, M. Prevost, arrived with an additional force, but by this time the occupiers of the land having heen also greatly reinforced, he was obliged to retreat, and was, it is said, much ill-treated. In this state of things he sent off to Douai for troops and 18 brigades of gendarmerie. The pre sence of the artillery detachment was, however, sufficient to enforce the law, and restore tranquillity before the arrival of the gendarmerie, and without any person having been either killed or wounded. The Mayor of the commune has given in his resignation. The Liberal du Nord adds, " The garde champetre, following the example of M. Mahul of Toulouse, fled from the tumult. ' hibiting their arrogance and their folly. Sonic excuse may be found for ordinary persons, for the misappli cation of the two terms, science and ar the general and heedless manner in which even I led men apply them ; but when a master of oratory like Lord Stfikley, though he be a master of nothing,elSe, not even o his tongue, commits such a mistake, it is a suitable oppk tunity, hygibbeting his gabble, to warn and instruct others. MR. MACAULAY. — We observe that one of our Contem poraries condemns Mr. Macaulay as having forgotten the proprieties of his station, as a Minister of the Crown, in writing the article which has just appeared in the Edin burgh Review on ,the subject of Port Royal. Mr. Ma caulay's defence is very simple.' lie certainly did not write the paper in question. The name of the real writer is well known to us, and we believe to all who take any interest in this kind of small literary gossip.—Globe. —[We are rather sorry to see this contradiction, for we accounted to ourselves for Mr. Macaulay's inefficient ac quaintance with the topics of the day by supposing that these other studies, for which the world gave him credit, engrossed his attention. We are now at a loss to con jecture where the Right lion. Gentleman has hidden those talents which we know him to pOssess, that neither by his tongue nor his pea has he made himself conspi cuous in defence either of Ministerial policy or t hose doctrines of free trade which are the stirring topic of our day, and the arbiters of the fate of that Administration of which he is a member.] MONEY and COIIIMER.CIAL NEWS.

HAGUE, JULY 20.—We learn from the Hundelsb!ad that the Government were occupied for some time past, with the project of the budget for 1842 and 1843. It is assured that the propositions are ready to be laid before the Chambers of the States-General. It is reported that in the project, the balance of the expenses and the revenue wi►l be brought to a conclu sion, without having recourse to a loan or augmentation of contributions. BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, JULY 20.—The notice given yesterday that the budget, which will be presented to the States-General by the Minister of Finance, will be of an equal description between the receipts and the expenses, without being obliged to resort to extraordinary measures, has caused many purchases in the National Funds, and the prices have improved. Ardoins was much sought after, at an improve ment of per cent. The British Market continues steady, without any business doing of the least importance to the present time; both the moneyed interest and speculators are shy of acting at present.

The only feature to notice in the Stock Exchange this morning is, that the Government broker has been giving largely upon the heavy securities, and money is not quite so easy. The accounts from France, with regard to the crops, are unfavourable, also those from Scotland ; and Wheat in bond is Is. per quarter dearer again to-day, so that a rise in the averages is daily more likely. In fact, even if the weather changes, the advance in prices during the last few days must have some ef fect on the next official returns regulating the duty, though probably this latter may not even then be low enough to induce present importations of magnitude. All depends on the wea ther, and even a favourable turn will not prevent some amount of foreign corn coming in before the harvest at least. CLOSING PRICES.

Tuesday se'imight, the hangman for the five Mid land Counties, presented himself at Swadlingcote Polling Booth, No. 1, to tender his votes, as an elector of Appleby. This last functionary of the law, on being asked who he voted for, replied—" for Mundy and Colvile, and if I had fifty votes they should have them all." Mr. A. Bass, who represented the Liberal candidates, humorously called the attention of Sir George Beaumont to the call ing of the elector he was thanking for his votes. Sir George thought he should not make such remarks upon electors. .Mr. Bass begged pardon, but said this was such.an extraordinary ease, that he could not help saying, he hoped the distinguished elector would never be better acquainted than he then was with any of the Liberal party. The hangman went out of the booth grumbling, as he went—" I have never had a job since these Whigs came into office !"—Derby Reporter. MORE TORY DOINGS AT LANGLEY.—On Friday last a tea drinking was given at the Parsonage, Langley, to the Sunday School children, who were all decorated with blue bows upon the occasion.

" Who runs may read." - ABROAD.— - - " pontleN-LcototztAm. The justificatory address of the run-away ex-Pre feet of Toulouse, hl. Mahul, is rather roughly handled by the Paris journals of Wednesday. • The Courrier Fran cais and the Constitutionnel are very much displeased with the light heeled ex-official for denying that he shrunk at the idea of shedding the blood of the factious, which he says " was at once his right and his duty.' M. Mahul knows best the "rights and duties" of Pre fects appointed by the Citizen King, nor shall we cont end that the obligation of shedding the blood of the disaffected is not included in them. All we care to ob serve is, that M. Mahul was less eager to shed the blood of others than careful to preserve his own. His objec tion was not so much to kill as to be killed. He disliked the popular principle of reciprocity in blood-shedding, and so he took to •his keels. Mahul is mani festly not to' blame. He proclaims that it was his right and duty asTrefect to shed the blood of the factious, and that he was quite ready and willing. so to do, but a rabble of rascals interfered, and not only would not let him, but actually proposed fto mete to him the punish mentwhich he intended for them ! And so M. Mahul; half dead with terror, fled to Paris to inform the King of the insult offered to his Throne and dignity in the person "of his Majesty's dutiful Prefect. After so heroic an exploit, the King cannot do less than reward M. . Mahal with a Peerage, with the style'and title of Baron of Toulouse. Peerages in France have been the reward of services less dangerous. For example, his successor in Toulouse, M. Duvalle, was made a Peer for smoking the Duchess of Berry out of a chimney, after the fashion with which inhuman sweeps treat their lazy apprentices. The French journals were lately very angry be cause Lord Palmerston, in a speech at Tiverton, con demned the inhumanity with which France was conducting the war in Africa. Some of them even dared to deny the fact. We have now before us an " Order of the Day," addressed to the " Soldiers of the division of Algiers," by their. Commanding Officer, Ge neral Baraguay d'Hilliers, dated " Blidah, July 7, 1841," Which more than bears out every statement made by the Noble Foreign Secretary. We call the atten tion not only of France, but of the civilised world, to the following extract from it : " Soldiers of the division of Algiers--I am indebted to your zeal and courage, to your devotedness of every moment, for the accomplishment of the mission intrusted to me by the Gover nor. You have responded in a becoming manner to the ex pectation of Fr ance . Y ou h ave destroyed the military esta blishments of the enemy , you have-carried away their women, children, and cattle; you have committed to the flames their houses and harvests; you have spread destruction eve r y w h ere , without their e v e r d ar i ng to offer any serious opposition to your march." So that " to respond in a becoming manner to the expec tations of France," the French soldier .in Africa is ex pected to " carry away women, children, and cattle," to burn houses and destroy harvests, without encountering the face of an enemy ! This is a war of brigands and not of soldiers. An army so employed must be in the most brutal state of demoralization. We wonder not that the King withdraws his sons from the moral con tamination of so debasing an atmosphere. The Archbishop of Paris has issued an order to his clergy against marrying theatrical performers. John Wesley said that he never knew an instance of a Metho dist becoming a bookseller who did not desert the band meetings of the elect in six months. This came of the sin of reading and reflecting. The good Prelate, no doubt, has discovered that the actors of profane mummeries do not thereby increase their respect for their fellow performers in the spiritual line, and so he dooms them to perpetual celibacy ! How long will the world endure such eccle siastical tyranny ? Was society made for priests, that the members contributing most to its amusement should be treated in this way. A melancholy account of the death of an English gentleman named Villiers, for some years settled in France, will be found in another column. While in a carriage with a part of his family the horses took fright, he was thrown out, and killed. Mr. Villiers was greatly respected. While the Dutch Minister of Finance, M. Rochus son, was attending a Cabinet Council on Sunday, his wife, whom he left at home in good health, dropped into the arms of a lady who came to congratulate her on her safe delivery of a child a fortnight before, and instantly expired. The Duke of Marlborough, with his family, and Baron Mackau, Vice-Admiral, arrived at Rotterdam, on Tuesday, from London. The Marquis of Blandford arrived at Rotterdam from Amsterdam. on Tuesday. The anniversary of the accession of King Leopold to the throne of Belgium was celebrated in Brussels with great pomp on Wednesday. At ten o'clock the King set out by the railway from the Palace at Laeken to the camp at Beverloo. No Sovereign in Europe has so pleasant a time of it gadding about as King Leopold. AT HOME.

The Tories wish to coerce her Majesty. The Tories, therefore, according to the Whig journals, in the doctrines of which we cordially concur, are the enemies both of the Queen and the peo ple. Sir Robert Peel is to be forced into the Govern ment by a majority of the aristocracy and the priest hood, against the will of her Majesty, t o d o their plun dering work on her long-suffering and patient people. Under such circumstances we deeply regret to see the preux chevaliers of her Ministry giving up the fight, and not only giving her up into the hands of th e Tories, which they perhaps could not prevent, but declaring by the mouth of Lord John Russell, that they will offer no vexatious opposition to their schemes to fetter the Queen and plunder the people. If Lord John had stated this much a month ago, he would have saved our Whig Contemporaries and ourselves from some waste of cha racter. At least, we had no notion then, when we saw what was said in the Chronicle and Globe about the constraint to be put on the Queen by the Tories, that one of the first acts of Lord John Russell, after ' their success was known, would be to declare that heskould not offer any vexatious opposition to their atteMpti, though they have a majority, to carry on the Govern . - ment in opposition to the principles of justice and the wishes of our sincere and truthful Queen. SCIENCE AND ART.—Lord Stanley - is very ready at using words, but we have some doubts whether he comprehend their meaning. At the dinner of the Agricultural So ciety, on Thursday, at Liverpool, he twice over called avi culture a science, and so spoke of it, that it is impossible to ascribe the mistake to the reporter. There being no little confusion on the subject, even in the clear minds of Lords, it is due to correctness to inform Lord Stanley that agriculture is not a science but an art. The dis tinction is between knowing and doing, science being me thodized knowledge of creation, and art the skilful acts of man's mind and hand. As Lord Stanley said, there is hardly a science which is not the handmaid of agricul ture, but that does not make agriculture 4 science. Bo tany, the methodized knowledge of the properties of plants ; Zoology, the methodized knowledge of the pro perties of animals ; Chemistry, the methodized knowledge of the effects and properties of substances on one another at insensible distances—all throw light on the operations of the farmer, and instruct him how to apply hi.s means and his strength, but they no more convert agriculture into a science than they convert the manufacture of glass or steam engines into a science, both of which are im proved by, and founded on, knowledge. The only rational application of the term science to agriculture, is to its history. The raethodized knowledge of all that h as been done, and is done in the art, may form science of agricUlture, but to speak of the opera tions of drilling and hoeing, o f cross i ng breeds, and laying drair.i ng tiles, however enlightened by a hnowlodge of the chemical properties of spits, and the laws which reg%late thp algtli - 4144 of water, or the laws of ani ma t nature, as a science, is a confusion of all lan guage. Wh at resemblance is there between the sci ence of a s t ronomy, our methodized knowledge of the stars— us i ng acceptation and the daily t o il s of the third part of our population ?is a Agriculture that word in it s l arge st noble art, extended and enriched by science in all ages.

The Dublin, 50, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Thomas, will be ready for sea before the close of August. LAW AND POLICE. At the Devizes Assizes an action was brought by Mr. Wright, Master of the Pewsey Union, against the Rev. William Bleeck, Rector of Huish. The Rev. Gen tleman charged the plaintiff with improper intimacy with a young pauper girl, and in one of his letters con taining other grievous charges (for what it appears there was not the slightest foundation), he expresses his anxiety for " the moral and religious training of poor perishing souls " under the care of such " an unprincipled head." The jury gave 200/. damages. The suit instituted by the Rev Dr. Dillon against his young wife for adultery, came on for hearing in the Consistory Court, when some very suspicious circum stances were stated by the Judge respecting the object of the suit. " The charge," said Dr. Lushington, " must be viewed with great suspicion, and he wished his mind satisfied that the husband himself believed it, and had brought a true case before the Court." What Dr. Dil lon is this ? At Marlborough-street, yesterday, two lads were fined ss. each for playing at cricke tin Hyde Park, with a warning from the Magistrate, that if the offence were repeated, the full penalty, 405., would be inflicted: —' At the final examination of the Wakefields in the Bankruptcy Court on Thursday, it appeared that the bank rupts had sold out 45,0001. stock, besides misapplying 33,0001. of monies left in their hands for investment. It was altogether a very melancholy case," said Sir C. F. Williams, the Commissioner, " and had it occurred a few years ago the bankrupts would have been liable to transportation for 14 years." SPORTING. The annual July regatta for Eton comes off to morrow, when Prince Albert will be present. PUZLIC OPMTION. The Tory Journals already begin to quarrel about the spoil. They have not yet caught their hare, and they are wrangling how she shall be cooked. As they think themselves the great authors of the Whig discomfiture, they properly suppose they have a right to the prize, and if they cannot make their several editors Ministers, they have at least claims that the favourite of each should fill a high place. One is for Buckingham, another for Lyndhurst, and a third for Lord Roden. Sir Robert Peel, or the Earl of Aberdeen, or whoever may be called to form the Cabinet, will have an arduous task to satisfy the claims of all the cormorants who will surround him. The leading organ o►f the Tory party, the veracious Times, coolly gives the lie to the statement of Lord John Russell promising that he will give the Government no factious opposition. Rather than perform this pro mise, it asserts, Lord John would consent to brush Mr Roebuck's shoes, or perform the ho-tow to Mr. O'Connell. Our readers ought to know that the ho-tow is a Chinese punishment, especially inflicted on renegades and calum niators. The Morning Advertiser expresses great sympathy for Sir Robert Peel, and fears he will be torn to pieces before he can put his Cabinet together. The circum stance of the long exclusion of the Tories from office will only make them more greedy and doubly ravenous, and to quiet the growling of the pack, to whom he cannot throw even a bone, will require courage and tact gye:ttot,r than Van Amburg has yet displayed among his wild beasts. According, to.the Ckronicle, the Church is to join with the rabid crew in worrying the unhappy Actmon. The Puseyites are open-mouthed for his destruction. The war first waged in the Times (through Catholicuf, alias Mr. Newman), mul,afterwards in the British Critic, the great organ of the;Paseyites;- still rages. " We ci6ll - formed:of benefits de 7 rived from a Tory Adm v ulistration," savi the Cork South ern Reporter. "We are told very significantly that the new Minister will astonish his own party by his liberalit We know not whether we ought to laugh, or be indig nant at what is certainly folly, and may be dishonesty. A Liberal Government composed of the Leaders of the Tory faction ! It is a ridiculous absurdity—a base and dangerous deceit." The Wiltshire Independent sarcastically attacks the new trick of the Tories to deceive working-men into their toils. Their shift has bees to bolster up their bad cause by pronouncing that Mr. Cobbett—who was always re garded with respect, or almost adoration, by the middle and working classeS, especially the agricultural portion— was a friend -to taxation on foreign corn. The Inde pendent shows the statements to be shamefully garbled, with interpretations put upon bits here and bits there. " I," said Mr. Cobbett, in 1819, "I AM for OPEN ports Fon corn." The Dublin_ Pilot is violent at the prospect of Tory rule. " There is preparing for Ireland," it says, " a bloOdy persecution of her religion, her clergy, and her people. Col: Jackson's Justice for Ireland'—the six inch howitzers—will not be an empty threat, but a truth betrayed." Tg3iEP TfICAL. The Italian Opera has become a thing of shreds and patches. Instead of noble and continuous pieces, there was on Thursday one act of Norma—then a ballet—then 11 Turco in Italia compressed into one act, and then an other ballet, besides pas seuls andpas de deux ad infinitum. The Opera season will terminate on Saturday, the 14th of August. Persiani, Viardot, and Tamburini are engaged for the festival at Gloucester, and Mdlle.

A young actor went a short time'since to the church of the Blanes Manteaux, and gave the usual notice for his marriage. On returning to fix the day, the Vicar informed him that the Archbishop had issued an injuction to his clergy not to solemnize a marriage for any comedian. RUIVIOUHS 01' THE DAY. Isaac Lillicrap, the Englishman who was arrested in France for importing a new infernal machine into France, has been most kindly treated, nothing, in fact, could exceed the attention which Lillicrap met with in the Conciergerie. As he could not speak French, the Judge of Instruc tion sent a young gentleman attrched to the Attorney- General's office, who is conversant with the English language to chat with him. There may be some good reason for this. Louis Philippe, of course, wishes to make the forts proof against domestic as well as foreign enemies, and Lillicrap it appears, has furnished a plan for the purpose, in the shape . of a four-barrelled pistol, and the model of a fort, in which the artillery is protected against the firing of the besiegers. COURT CIRCULAR. - --- WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Last evening the Earl of Surrey arrived at the Castle on a visit to her Majesty. and the Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, and the Ladies Eleanora and Constance Paget, had the honour of joining the loyal circle at dinner. This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert walked out as usual in the Park, and her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken to Adelaide Cottage. In the afternoon her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians rode out in a carriage and four in the Park, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert on horseback, and attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttel• ton, Countess Vilain XIV., the Marquis of Headfort, and other ladies and gentlemen of the Royal suite, either in carriages or on horseback. Her Mitjesty inspected to-day the finished etching by Samuel Cousins, A.R.A., from the original picture, of the Queen receiving the Holy Sacrament at the Coro nation, by C. R. Leslie, R.A. (the property of the Queen), which was submitted by Mr. Moan. Her Ma jesty was most graciously pleased to express her ap proval. His Royal Highness the Duke de Brabant is much better. Lady Caroline Barrington and Mr. George E. Anson will have the honour of dining with her Majesty at,the Castle this evening. It is expected that her Majesty and Prince Albert will leave Windsor on Monday for Woburn Abbey, to honour the Duke and Duchess of Bedford with a visit. Prince George of Cambridge left town on Thursday, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Glou cester,, at her residence, Bagshot Park. The Prince returned to town yesterday afternoon.

Despatches from Sir John Franklin, Governor of Van Diemen's Land, and also from the Governor of the Bahamas, were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. MR. WILSON. Last night this celebrated vocalist delivered the last of a series of lectures on Scottish song to a crowded and delighted audience, at the MechaniCs' Institution, Southampton-buildings. The more immediate object of the lecture was to prove the merits and claims to anti quity of Highland melody, and its close and intimate alliance with the music of the sister kingdom of Ire land ; and in this arduous task Mr. Wilson relieved the dry and uninteresting (except to the initiated) details of antiquarian research with humorous anecdote, and soft ened down and made delightful rugged argument and clOSe reasoning by apt and felicitous illustrations from the wild and soul-stirring, but frequently touching and pathetic, music of the land " of the mountain and the flood." We have often been enchanted listeners to this delightful warbler of his country's song, an heard with pride and satisfaction the rough sough of wild and unrestrained applause which greeted and rewarded his sounds of fire and notes of woe ; but never until last night did we think that Mr. Wilson, or any other favoured son of song, could infuse into an English translation of the notes of Ossian's lyre the soul and animation which makes us forget that we are specta tors, and for the moment think ourselves the heroes of the tale. As we advocate, as we have always done, the advancement of education and of information in every walk, we have much pleasure in giving our meed of praise to the exertions of Mr. Wilson, in thus familiar izing the beauties of poetry and the charms of song to the humble and the lowly ; and it is a great and gratifying evidence of the advancement of civilization and the growing love of information which has been in our day engendered in our fellow-countrymen, that we find them thus seeking after, and encouraged by, one who is peculiarly qualified to touch those tender cords which tend to filial love, and to strike that harp of harmony and brotherhood which enables and induces us to improve and cultivate , " the mind which makes the man."
