Our Tory Contemporaries carefully omit to notice one element in the general joy of the pec ple at the birth of a Prince of WALES. It puts another bar to the accession of the CUMBER LAND branch of the Royal Family to the Throne. They have that knowledge present to their minds, and the general joy has a much more rational foundation than is to be found in the pages of the Tory Journals. Since her MAJESTY'S accession to the throne she has conducted herself with great prudence and great firmness, thanks to the excellent in structions which the Duke of WELLINGTON ad mitted she had received from Lord MEL BOURNE. She has lent to Royalty the grace of many virtues, and renewed the lustre of a splendid Crown, which gathers around it the affections, hoarded for (many ages, of a con fiding and warm-hearted people. The nation takes a generous interest, therefore, in the person of her MAJESTY as well as her office, and delights believing in that she is again a happy young mother, as it knows she is a virtuous woman and a liberal QUEEN. ...•.- We alluded on Monday to the increasing diffi culty of procuring subsistence as population in creases, as a permanent cause which continu ally keeps down wages to the lowest possible point at which labourers can live ; and we showed that it was only by successive inventions of mac4nionsTld im provements, that the operation of - I .i .cause was c ounteracted, and the wages 44Ititiroieith the stand ard of reward for labour, . --.

If successive inventions and improvements over master the difficulty, then the condition of the labourer ought continually to improve. If the difficulty be as great as it is described by the economists, all struggling will be vain, and it will be the duty of legislators to study how they can most conveniently keep down population. If MALTHUS and some of his followers be right, the renowned MARCUS, with his plan of painless extinction, will not be far wrong. _ _ The great question to be decided is, whether successive inventions and improvements conse quent on an increase of population, balance, or are inferior to the difficulty of procuring sub sistence caused by that increase ? We must take a long view, and compare man in his earliest known stage of existence with man in his pre sent condition, to arrive at a just conclusion. Eve r y society hitherto known can be traced back to barbarism. It was rude and half savage when its history began, and prior to that its tra ditio nary accounts represent it as isolated fami lies of savages. Although there be suffering and destitution among. some classes at every period, the worst provided member of civilised society is no worse off than were the naked and savage progenitors of mankind. The savage has, and always had, great difficulty to subsist himself and his family, though the woman la boured as much as the man. - Something more than barely support themselveS they were able to effect, or society could not hare hi creased; ,but it was very little, and in"the earliest known periods of history society increased very slowly. At present the labour of civilised man sustains a great many more persons than the labourers. The great and the increasing number of opulent idlers who are maintained in every ci vilised society is an unanswerable proof that inven tions and improvements have overmastered the difficulty ofirocuring subsistence, caused by the increase of population, and that as people have multiplied on the earth, so subsistence has be- come more abundant. The United States, and our colonies of New Holland and New Zealand, afford a striking illustration of this progress. Over these vast coun tries only a few savages roamed a few centuries ago, and had the greatest clifficuity in procuring subsistence; at present they are comparatively crowded with civilised men, and millions live in opulence and ease, where only a few naked savages roamed. Science and art enable man, as the race multiplies, to overcome that difficulty which Mr. INIALTHus mistakingly described as insuperable, and each labourerin :civilised corn- munity produces much more than enough for himself and to perpetuate his race. We arrive at this conclusion, by comparing the earliest known condition of society with its pre sent condition; but, in all the intermediate stages, there have been continual oscillations. Society has not steadily advanced from destitu- tion to abundance ; but sometimes destitution, and sometimes abundance, has got the upper hand. Great discoveries or great inventions, or the application of old knowledge to new lands, combined with seasons of tranquillity, have, at particular periods, spread wealth and prosperity through a community and then again have come periods when there was no opening for enterprise—when all places and employments were crowded with applicants—when the com- munity lived fully up to its resources, and dis comfort, poverty, and decay, took the place of opulence and prosperity. These oscillations, however, have not, in the long run, altered the general rule, which has been, on the whole, to advance from comparative destitution to compa rative plenty ; though at every period the pres sure on the means of subsistence has been felt, and. has been the stimulus to every improve , ment. It is, however, on the whole, clear—from the many conveniences and luxuries enjoyed by civilised man, from the leisure of some and the idleness of others, from the number of persons who can devote themselves to unproductive oc cupations or amusements, who are multiplying every year—that as society advances, the power of labour becomes more productive, and the re wards of labour ought to be greater. Why are they . not ? Why do the wages of agricultural labour continue always about the same, namely, just enough to keep the labourers in existence ? And why do not the wages of artisans rise as their skill increases ? This is the real question for the labourers to consider, before they ex press dissatisfaction with machinery. As the difficulty of procuring subsistence diminishes as society advances, how is it that the labouring classes, who produce all the wealth of the world, have so very small a share ? The answer to this question is to be found in another fact. The land was all violently appro priated at an early period; those who appropria ted it made slaves of the labourers; and all their political contrivances, ever since, have been in tended to keep the working classes in slavery. The labourers of Europe have sprung from an en slaved class, and they have only bettered their condition as they have escaped from bondage, by engaging in new arts, not under the control of the landowner. At present the recently eman cipated slaves in the West Indies, according to the statements of various writers, get good wages, because their numbers are comparatively few, and their former masters are not exclu sively their law-makers. The statutes to keep down the wages of labour, cannot be passed year after year, and c entury after cen tury, as they were passed in England as the serfs were gradually emancipated, and so wages are high; but the European labourers may get a correct notion of the mode in which the rate of wages was gradually settled in Europe, by look ing to the state of society in the West Indies. Let them suppose the masters of the emanci pated slaves endowed with an exclusive privilege of making laws, and possessing the whole land of the colonies. If the negro race multiplies, as human beings always do when food is plentiful, they must soon be at the mercy of their masters. They will bid against one another for food, the means of obtaining which is all in the hands of law-makers whom they are accustomed to re spect and obey, and under the pressure of that necessity they will gladly accept in return for their labour the smallest quantity of subsistence of (r on which t h ey can susta i n l if e. Th us i t i s not merely the p ressure o f popu l at i on on su b s i stence keeps down waves to the point at which which the supply labour ''required by landlords and capitalists can be reared, but that pressure, com bined with an early and forcible appropriation of the land by those who make the laws, and who always study their own interest and advantage. These are the general principles which deter mineOn the wh o l e , t h e ap the rate of wages. naodw the ne laws r sre remain i n maintainingnearly the he stpahrmeopperic:abwtueiotrnt o f f e f tlhaen dla, pressure encee tnes continually varies a a s s the the population seasonsareo abun dant or otherwise, and up to or falls below the supply of food. I n t h e main, therefore, it is the difficulty, more or less, of procuring subsistence at any given mom ent , which determines the amount of wages. i t i ; clear if the landlords could not limit the supply of the means of subsistence, the ancient appro priation of the land and their power of makin g laws would no more avail them to keep the la bourer poor and dependent, than the power of the landowners of Jamaica would answer the same end if their emancipated slaves could all easily find a new home in St. Domingo. The great object latterly, therefore , of the landowners, under a number of pretexts, has been to limit the supply of the means of subsistence. Corn and pro vision laws accordingly forbid free importation; there is a palpable scarcity of food ; population presses severely on the means of subsistence; the labourers are numerous in comparison to the de mand for their services, and to the quantity of food by which those services are to be paid ; and THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 1841. hence, at tli; moment, and not because of ma chinery—whiclr would enable our people to buy food from America in cheap abundance--employ ment is very scanty, and wages very low. When the population has been starved down to the means of supply, which are in the landlords' hands, when two or three fertile seasons inter- vene, then again, and not till then—unless the law which limits the supply be altered—will em ployment increase and wages rise. Having thus, at greater length than we wished, explained what we consider the causes of low wages, we must add a word or two on the means of limiting the distress caused by a change in employment consequent on a change of ma chinery. That distress we must, however, remark, must at all times be much in- I creased by, any and every law which limits the supply of the means of subsistence, and overstocks every employment with hands or candidates. The displaced people can, under these circumstances, find no other employment, and the low condition to which the body of the labourers are reduced and kept, allows them no time to turn round, or to deliberate, or to learn a new occupation. They must at once find another employment, or the extreme poverty, which is the rule of their lives in a community in which the land is all appropriated, and the power of making laws is in the hands of the landlords, crushes them with an iron necessity, and makes the change which might not otherwise be injurious, utterly ruinous. The postmasters, for example, who have been displaced by the use of railroads, are injured people; perhaps their place in the scale of society is lowered, but they are not ruined and. starved. Their sufferings, though great, are trifling compared to those of the handloom-weavers, who are starved outright. Thus the general pressure of the population on a limited supply of the means of subsistence, the result. of Corn-laws, makes the changes which are brought about by invention and improve ment utterly disastrous to those whom the inven tions displace. The fact that such changes do cause great dis tress, has been known for upwards of 200 years, when the copyists at Paris, and other places, re sisted the introduction of printing, becatise it deprived them of work; but no Legislature has thought of providing a remedy. Were a land lord aggrieved by a railroad being made through his property—were a clergyman exposed to a small diminution of income by ceasing to bury people in his monopoly of consecrated ground— were a place abolished as useless, the Legislature would take care to provide compensation for place holder, priest, and landowner; but when a great body of handloom-weavers •or buckle makers are thrown out of employment, by a change of fashion or improvement in ma chinery, those who bad monopolised the land and had the power of making laws, told them to trust to themselves, and refused them any relief. The same principle ought to have been followed both for landowner and labourer, and the invention which took away the employment of the one, should have been made to provide him compen sa.tioa, as it was made to provide compensation for the land it took from the other. So much consideration, however, for the la downers' slaves was not to be expected, and all kinds of artisans have been left to struggle against such changes as they could, while they were loaded with the landowners' heavy shackles. A Legislature in which their interests were represented would probably empower a Judge or appoint a Commis sion to give, upon a fair view of the case, a rea- sonable compensation to all those who might be injured by successive social improvements. They benefit the whole community through all time; their authors only get a small share of the general advantages, and therefore the in surance or compensation, or whatever it might be called, if any were necessary, when all trades and occupations were free, should be paid by the whole community. It could better afford to give 1,000,0001. to the hand-loom wea vers than 10,0001. a year to the heir of-a Lot d Chief Justice of the King's Bench. The ter rible manner, however, in which the law-making landlords have wholly neglected to provide for the evils which fall on the industrial part of the community, must convince every man that on this very useful and important part of economic le gislation, nothing good can be anticipated from our present Legislature. We believe there is nol a man in this wide empire who has ever considered the question of municipal government but is firmly convinced that about one-half of the revenues of the city of London would suffice, if properly husbanded, for the municipal expenses of the entire metro polis. The corporation is renowned, time out of mind, for guzzling and corruption. A part of its income at present, out of which it provides civic feasts, and makes presents to very worthless statesmen, is derived from a heavy tax on coals, which falls with great severity on the poor. All the shivering wretches of the metropolis are mulcted of firing that the civic functionaries may make their pasteboard shows, and feast on turtle. To old civic hospitality, provided by the contri butions of the Aldermen and Mayor, out of their own wealth, we make no objection; but hospi tality paid for by a tax on the fuel of the inhabi tants is an offence against policy and morals. Such, however, is not the opinion of Lord Chan cellor LYNDHURST, who is reported to have said at the LORD MAYOR'S dinner— I witness with pleasure your ancient ceremonies ; I rejoice to see you surrounded by your own insignia ; above all, I rejoice to .see that you still continue to pos sess that extensive property which you have always so liberally and so bountifully administered.—(Cheers.) I further rejoice that you still retain those important privi leges, the claim to which we have this day recorded in Westminster Hall—privileges which you have upon so many occasions used for the advancement and support of the great principles of our Constitution.—(Loud cheers,) There was a period when, indeed, I despaired of these things ; but tie storm has blown over, and you have sur vived its effects. A more open and undisguised defence of core ruption was never made. It tells us, that as long as Lord LYNDHURST is Chancellor there shall be no reform of the corporation of London. The people freeze that Aldermen may guzzle ; and the LORD CHANCELLOR praises this as boun tifully administering property. That is a speci men of Tory morality. When such are the sentiments Of the keeper of the conscience of the State, what can the nation expect from a Tory Administration ? The corporation of London needs reform as much as did the corporation of Dublin; but the Ministers, whose duty it is to effect it, rejoice that all its abuses have escaped, to keep a Tory Administration in countenance, and give it strength. The LORD HIGH CHAN CELLOR avows his partiality for oppression and injustice. The Commission issued by the direction of Sir ROBERT PEEL, to inquire concerning the conso lidation of the revenue offices, is now published and runs thus :--- WHITEHALL, Nov. 9.—Her Majesty has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon Granville Charles Henry Somerset, (commonly called Lord Granville Charles Henry Somerset), the Right Hon. William Ewart Glad stone, William Bingham Baring, Esq. (commonly called the Hon. William Bingham Baring), James Milnes Gas hell, Esq., and Alexander Pringle, Esq., to be her Ma jesty's Commissioners for conducting and inquiry into the details of the establishments of the several depart ments of Customs, Excise, and Stamps and Taxes, with a view of ascertaining whether the existing establish ments are more than adequate to the efficient discharge of their several duties, and whether arrangements can be safely made, consistently with the due collection of the revenue, for diminishing the expense Of them, and to re lieve the trade and commerce of the country from any inconvenient delay. So far as this goes, it deserves praise; but it is something like inquiring how a gentleman's es tablishment can be reduced when his house is on• fire. The people complain, not the mer chants, (for they are as yet Comparatively well off); and the Tories propose to give relief, not to wille n g rejoice relieved inconvenient the people, b u t t h e merchants. They c hi e fl y will be benefit e d b y the " trade and commerce greater facilities n r delay:'ofthe C ountry The b for dispatching business at the Custom-house. I We do not grudge them all the convenience they can receive : we say, in fact, that every ob • stac i e put la the way of transacting their busi , ness, which is not indispensible for the collec tion of the revenue, ought to be removed. The revenue, in truth, is collected to protect com merce as well as other portions of industry, and when collecting it injures commerce, its purpose is lost sight of. At the same time, considering how much the mercantile classes in London, Liverpool, and other places hive stood aloof from the anti bread tax agitation, how little they have done to aid the bulk of the people in procuring redress, we can but suspect that this unasked relief to trade is intended as a reward for paSt supineness, and a bribe for future acquiescence in those !aws which grind the people to dust. If so, the Commission, . which seems likely to pro duce very little saving to the public, may have the pernicious effect of widen ing the separation that now exists between the working and .the middle classes. The latter will be pleased at this little mark of attention, they will find their affection for a Tory Admi nistration increase, and they will be anxious to show their attachment by opposing, where they have hitherto stood neuter, the demand for cheap bread. Measures like this, which confer a trifling advantage on the opulent only, have long been favourites with our Legislature. They evince its partiality and deference to the few whom, alone, it considers; and they rather ex asperate the many by ; resisting their prayers. The whole of the Paris Journals have reached us, but their contents are of no political interest. On Monday a stock broker, named BONNET, was declared a de- faulter on the Paris Bourse. The report circulated was that he had fled from Paris, but whether in the direction of London or Brussels was not stated. The funds experi- enced some depreciation in consequence. There is not much news from Spain in these papers, and from the little there is, we learn that the country was generally tranquil. Preparations - are being made at the Royal Foundry in the Faubourg du Roule, for casting M. Cortot's colossal statue of Immortality, which is to be placed on 'the summit of the dome of the Pantheon. The model of this statue was placed on the steps of the Chamber of Deputies during the procession with the remains of the Emperor Napoleon. M. Victor Hugo obtained some time since, as our readers may remember, a verdict against M. Monnier, administrator of the second Theatre Francais (Odeon), and M. Latte, music -seller, for having published a French translation of an Italian adaptation of Lucrece Borgia, which was considered as infringing his rights as the original author. At the same time certain detached morceaux from the piece were ordered to be confiscated and destroyed. On an appeal to the Royal Court of Paris, heard on Saturday, the latter part of the sentence was quashed. M. Victor Hugo was in Court, and a great crowd of persons pressed in to see him. The illustrious academician, in forcing his way through the throng, had his pocket picked of his purse. The Courrier de la Gironne of Bordeaux quotes a-Ma drid letter, stating that wh€n Rubini arrived at Calme naz his escort of thirty men were surrounded by the pea santry, who imagined him to be a superior officer of the Christino party, whom the soldiers were going to deliver up to the prompt justice of Espartero, and were deter mined to rescue him, in the hope of a reward. In vain did Rubini protest that he was no prisoner. Mis guards were dispersed, and he was detained. The Cure of the place at length convinced his flock of their error, and lent the great vocalist his mule, upon which he made his entrance into Madrid. For this good service he promised to return and sing a mass in the church. As Calmenaz is near Madrid, the congregation cannot fail to be nu merous and wealthy, and the collection proportionably liberal. A letter from Lille, in the Constitutionnel, states that a man in that place had met with his death by swallow ing a live mouse ! He was in a public-house, and the mouse having just been caught, he laid a wager that he would swallow it alive. He did so, but immediately afterwards was attacked by violent convulsions, and in three hours was a corpse. A cruel murder was committed a few days agn at Epfig, near Strasburg, on an elderly female, who lived by herself, and was believed to be in possession of a good deal of money. Some villains broke into her house at night, and killed her by blows on the head from some heavy instrument, by which the skull was driven in. The authors of the murder have not been detected. The King, on the report of the Minister of Marine, has granted decorations of the Legion of Honour to a surgeon at St. Pierre, and an Gtfi?,er of a fishing vessel, attached to St. Pierre and Miquelon fisheries, in conse quence of the account given of their services by the Prince de Joinville in his dispatch, after inspecting the French fisheries of the Newfoundland and North Ame rican station. _ _ _ The Minister of the Interior has sent to the Prefects of Departments copies of a set of regulations for the several prisons within their respective jurisdictions, with regard to the food, clothing, and bedding of the prison ers, according to which their treatment throughout the kingdom will, from January Ist, be placed entirely upon the same footing; except in cases wherein express orders shall be given by the Minister himself. The Havre Journal relates that a great crowd was collected on Thursday evening round a person, in the Rue de Paris, near the Hotel de l'Europe, who was cry ing out " murder," and uttering incoherent expressions. He entered the hotel, but was soon afterwards taken in a coach to the lunatic asylum. The unhappy patient is a French merchant established in America, but tempo rarily resident in Havre. He had for several days pre viously given signs of mental alienation, and, in one in stance, made a bargain with a hatter for 500 hats, before the state of his mind was observed. Several attempts were made by him to throw himself into the docks, and it was on being defeated in one of these, that the paroxysm, which led to his confinement, came on. He has relations in Paris, some of whom were hourly ex pected at Havre. The Correctional Tribunal of Brussels tried, on Satur• day, the persons who mutilated the statues in the Park, on the night of the 17th ult. M Cauty was sentenced to imprisonment for three months ; M. Barrett for two months, and M. Shergold for one month. They were each condemned to pay a fine of 100 f., and jointly and severally 115 f. to the city by way of damages. Claude Gaspard Jugland, the Nestor of Savoy, and probably of the whole of the subjects of the King of Sardinia, died a few days ago at Belleeote, in the Taran taise, aged 111 years, 8 months, and 20 days. He re tained his health until nearly his last hour, and was re marked throughout his long life for his equanimity, gaiety, and simplicity of mind and habits. He enjoyed a pension from the King's privy purse. The mint of Paris, which until now had not been able to procure the whole of the medals forming the numis matic history of Napoleon as General, Consul, and Em peror, that is to say from the battle of Montenotte to 1815, has just completed this rich collection, which was deficient by a hundred medals, of which the dies, en graved mostly in Germany and Italy, were not to be found in France. " At present," says the Temps, " there are not more than between 2,500 and 3,000 men employed on the whole continuous wall of the fortifications, instead of 20,000, as there ought to be, if the Government meant to fulfil the promise it has given of executing this part of the works simultaneously with the forts. In a few days all the masonry work must be suspended on account of the winter," • A rogue on the prowl, two nights back, observed a young shopwoman at a warehouse in the Rue de Riche lieu, folding up a large piece of silk handkerchiefs. The temptation was irresistible. He entered the shop, leav ing the door half open. The young woman politely re quested him to shut it. "Oh !" replied the audacious fellow, " that will be of no use, for I shall not stay a minute !" and, suiting the action to the word, he grasped the piece of silk, dashed away with it, 'and was out of sight before any one could be called to pursue him. Two evenings ago, in the Rue de la Mortellerie, a quarqtook place between two journeymen masons and three iedmontese organ players. The latter almost immediately drew thei;knives, and fell upon the masons. One died immediately of the wounds which he received ; the other was removed to the Hotel Dieu, in a hopeless state. Only one of the murderers has been arrested. A duel with pistols took place a few days ago at Soissons, between two officers of the garrison, arising out of a quarrel at the dinner-table. They were placed at a distance of 70 paces, and one of them received the ball of his adversary, and died of the wound on the fol lowing day. Everything had been done, but in vain, by the seconds to bring about a reconciliation. Amongst some visitors who came a few days ago to see the bridge recently put up by Messrs. Seguin, at Triel (Seine-et-Oi se ), was Madame Montgolfier, aged 107 years, widow o f one o f the brothers Montgolfier , the xronauts. Notwith s t an din her great age, Madame Montgolfier walked to the bridge with great ease. She g is the great grandmother of the two Messrs. Seguin. Numerous workmen are stated by accounts from Epinal, to be leaving the department of the Vosges for Algiers, to settle there as colonists, on the new system proposed by General'Bugeaud. The Municipal Council of Strasburg, on the 2d inst., voted a.grant of 1,000,000 f. towards the formation of the railroad direct from Paris, and appointed a Commission to confer with the other towns on the line, and also with the Government and the Chambers. On Wednesday last there was cast at Nantes, in the presence of the Bishop and a large assem bla g e, includin g numerous ladie s , a peal of eight bells for the Cathedral of that town. The operation was completed in 16 mi nutes. When the moulds were filled the company gave repeated cheers. The Bishop then solemnly blessed the bells, christening the first in the name of the department; the second of the town; the third, of the proprietors; the fourth, of the foreign merchants; the fi fth, of the g eneral traders of th e town; and the sixth, of the Corps d'Etats et .Metiers. The remaining two were old bells recast, and, therefore, retained their ancient names. The Minister of Finances has given a decision, by which the Britannia steamer, which was given up by the English Company in compensation to the Phenix Com- Fany, for the l oss o f t h ei r boat, has been declared a rench vessel to all intents and purposes, a point about which a legal difficulty had existed. This steamer is about to be put on the London and Havre station by the Phenix Company. Tarascon, according to a letter of the 2d inst., was still under water, and inaccessible but by boats ; -so-that the mail was forced to go round by Avignon, on which road the floods had sensibly abated. At Arles the breaches made at Boulbon were still open, and there was nothing to prevent the plain from being overflowed, but the water continued to run off. Many of the dykes at Avignon were broken, but the water was sensibly receding. All the necessary measures had been taken by the authorities, and the soldiers were assisting the people. The Mare des Pyrenees of the sth has the following article:— _ _ . . " We have received news from Madrid up to the Ist of this month, at night. The most perfect tranquillity had not been interrupted in that city, and nothing gives reason to fear that it would be at all disturbed. " The two brothers, Fulgosio, were condemned to death, but had not yet been executed. The execution ' was doubtless delayed till the Regent should confirm the sentence: as in the case of Brigadier-General Quirogi. Fries. It was hoped at Madrid that the Duke of Vic tory would put an end to the effusion of blood. " The whole road from Madrid to Irun is perfectly safe, and the mails traverse it without the slightest ob stacle." The persons who left Madrid with the Regent and who have not accompanied him to Saint Sebastian, left Vittoria on the 3d at night, to go to Pampeluna where it seems they have orders to wait for him. This would lead to the conclusion that the Regent does not intend to make a long stay at St. Sebastian : from which place he will shortly go to Pampeluna, and thence, as it is believed, proceed to Sarragossa, and thence to Barcelona. Immediately after the arrest of Messrs. Altima and Crano. the Deputies of Guipuscoa to the Cortes, the family of the latter waited on the Regent, at Vittoria, in order to obtain from him that the terrible measures of transportation with which those two gentlemen are threatened might not be carried into effect. Hitherto we do not know that they have obtained anything; perhaps the presence of the Regent at St. Sebastian may contribute to avert from these two Deputies the application of such a mea sure.—Constitutionnet BO URS&—PARTS, MONDAY, Nov. 8. f itst Highest Lowest Last Price Piice.

Nov. 4. THE USE OF BURNING THE TOWER.—NO thing, it is written, is made, and, we presume, done in vain ; and accordingly, after reading the following paragraph, we are at no loss to discover the use of bUrning the Tower : " Amongst those present during the day were ob served—tlie Ladies Seymour, the Lord Chamberlain, and a party of ladies ; the Uon. Captain J. 8., Home ; Mr. Hall, the chief Magistrate of Bow-street ; Mr. Cotting ham, of Union-Hall ; the Earl of Chichester, &c., &c.' Ladies and gentlemen of the above description are greatly in want of a sensation. They seek for pleasures, and would give anything for a new one. To look at the yet smoking ruins, to stare with terror at the tottering walls, to wonder at the vastness of the destruction, to be squired or to squire through all the nooks and crannies of the dilapidated fortress, to hear from the lips of firemen of perilous escapes and fortunate rescues, to examine the broken doors of the jewel-house, and, perhaps, hear from Mr. and MyS. Swift the sparkling narrative of their ywn exploits and dangers, to see, hear, and admire on the spot the effects of the fire, must be a prodigious pleasure to a multi titude of persons in search of a sensation, and supplies a rational explanation of, we think, the final cause of the destruction of the Tower. It was burnt down to be a ten days' wonder to those who might otherwise die of ennui. They Ivill be wanting to themselves if they do not, now that we have pointed out to them the pur pose for which great public buildings are de stroyed, take care that they be not burned in vain. We recommend them to give the beadles, watchmen, firemen, and police-officers liberal re wards to keep a sharp look-out for fires, and in form them when any take place. They may as well have all they can get; and if it be dilightful to see the ruins of the burned Tower, it would be ten times more delightful to see the Tower burning. There is much inscrutable in the ways of combustion and conflagration, but a diligent inquiry would probably explain the mystery to others as it has done to us. The Tower was burned to create a sensation. COURT CIRCULAR. The Lord Mayor of London, accompanied by his Chaplain, the Rev. H. Thomas, and the City Remembrancer, together with the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Messrs. Magnay and Rogers, and Mr. Under-Sheriff Pritchard, ar rived at Buckingham Palace soon after ten o'clock yesterday morning, to make their dutiful inquiries after the health of her Majesty and the Infant Prince.

Sir Charles Bagot and Lord Saltoun had inter views with Lord Stanley yesterday at the Colo nial-office. A deputation from the Board of Guardians of the Strand Union, consisting of Mr. Edward Willoughby, the chairman, Mr. Vincent George Dowling, the Vice-Chamberlain ; Mr. Shadbolt, Mr. Cuttress, and Mr. Stevens, members of the Board, with Mr. Corder, the Clerk, had a long interview with Sir James Graham yesterday, at the Home-office, on the subject of Infant Poor Education.

THE QUEbN DOWAGER. Dr. Chambers left town yesterday morning to attend her Majesty at Sudbury Hall, Derbyshire. During the day the following official account of the health of Majesty was exhibited at Marl borough House : " The Queen Dowager had some hours of tranquil sleep in the night, but there is no alle viation of her Majesty's symptoms this morning. " DAVID DAVIES, M.D. " Sudbury Hall, Nov. 9, 1841." SLi NI MARV OF EIN AND Z 4 ithitt OP to to a. " Who runs may read." :FOREIGN. A letter from Madrid of the Ist inst. states that the British Ambassador was that day informed that a sum of 2,0001. sterling was remitted to England on account of the British Auxiliary Legion. In the midst of heavy embarrasments at home and abroad, the Government of Espartero has displayed a most praiseworthy solicitude to maintain the national credit. A telegraphic despatch received in Paris on Monday announces the entrance of General Van Halen into Bar celona. The town continued tranquil after the demoli tion of the citadel. The report published by the Debats of the murder of two Frenchmen is totally unfounded. It is the French Government, and not the French people, that is an object of general execration in Spain. The Regent entered San Sebastian on the evening of the 3d inst. ; great rejoicings had taken place on his arrival, and a ball was given in his honour. Rodil was at Pampeluna, and Zurbano still at Bilbao. There was no apprehension whatever for the tranquillity of Madrid. The Duke of Bordeaux arrived at Vienna on the 26th ult., but was too much fatigued from the journey to be able to leave his apartments during the two following days. His recovery was far from complete, and his foot much too weak to allow of his taking any continued exercise. The young Prince having sent an apology for his inability to wait upon the Emperor, his Majesty ho noured him with a visit. The Duke intended to pro ceed to Goritz as soon as his medical advisers considered him sufficiently recovered to undertake the journey. The Cologne Gazette, of the 3d, states that the inha bitants of Montenegro still continue to war against the Turkish authorities. Two thousand 'Montenegrins lately attacked the town of Podgorizza, but were re pulsed with loss. The distirct Of Niusitsch has greatly suffered by their inroads. M. Bonnet, a stock-jobber, was declared a defaulter on the Paris Bourse on Monday. Bourse swindling is becoming quite the rage in Paris—M. Bonnet is the third swindler within the last month. He is reported to have fled, and by this time to be safe either in Brussels or London. PUBLIC OPINION! The Morning ITer7LT recommends that the young .Prince be named Edward, justly observing that that name has been borne by some of the most illustrious Sovereigns in our English annals. "We cannot help remarking," says our Contemporary, " that there is a name,—fortunate in English annals and dear to the Eng lish people,—which is begemmed with so many of our proudest national associations, and so redolent of accu mulated honours, that we would, with all respectfulness, suggest the propriety of bestowing it on this infant Duk e of Cornwall and Earl of Chester. The English Justi nian, renowned alike for the highest qualities of state manship, government, and military genius—successful in each and all of those careers ;—the conquering King of Cressy, and the conquering Prince of Poitiers his son ; the tamer and controller of the desolating factions of York and Lancaster ; the good, young, and benevolent founder of the Protestant Establish ment as it now exists ; and the truly Protestant Prince, the illustrious father of her present Ma jesty, alike rejoiced in the English name of Edward."— Edward is certainly a good name, and one with which some of an Englishman's proudest historical recollec tions are associated ; but we do most earnestly hope that the young Prince's Royal parents will not be induced to give him the name of George. We have had enough of Georges to last us. for a century. It is a name of ill omen, and reminds us of profligate foreign wars ; of constant, vexatious interferences with our continental . neighbours ; of restrictions on civil and religious free dom ; of reckless extravagance ; exorbitant taxation ; and perpetual attempts to stretch the Royal Prerogative • beyond all constitutional bounds. The two first Georges were mere dull, thick-skulled cyphers ; of the two last, one was a crafty, narrow-minded bigot, and the other a selfish sensualist. The Times says:—" The prosperity and peace of the Austrian empire are elements • of such importance to the welfare of Europe, and especially to the influence of the Conservative or defensive party in the councils of the great Powers, that we have followed with the greatest satisfaction the conciliatory measures which have been adopted by the Cabinet of Vienna within the last few years. The seasonable recognition of the constitu tional liberties and the enlightened administration of the Archduke Palatine ; the amnesty granted to the unfortunate victims of the Italian revolutions; and the treaty of commerce with this country, accom panied by a considerable diminution in those fiscal re strictions which had heretofore paralyzed the external trade, and even the internal relations, of the various pro vinces ; are all proofs of the spirit in which Prince Metternich and Count Kollowrath have carried on the affairs of the empire."—lt is rather late in the day for Prince Metternich—the representative of absolutism in Europe—to adopt conciliatory measures towards the out lying provinces subject to the Austrian sway ; but better ' late than never, for Hungary, and more especially the Lombardo-Venetian States, have many acts of gross in justice and tyranny to be atoned for. The Chronicle protests strenuously against the Tory assumption that Sir Robert Peel is possessed of absolute wisdom in his capacity of statesman, observing—" Wis dom and Peel are words that cannot be forced into har monious juxtaposition. Wise he has never been, not even in his wisest measures. Those of Catholic Eman cipation and Test Act Repeal were presented, most un wisely, as acts of constraint, not of voluntary adoption. The tie which binds him to an aristocracy that despises him, and alienates him from the class to which he natu rally belongs, was most unwisely formed. He was alike unwise in his toil to form a party of elements so hetero geneous as to be incapable of more than the negative consistency of opposition ; and in taking office as its chief with no more efficient or honourable resource than that of begging for delay in the hope of lucky chances. This country has before now been guided by •,ta:esinen of velinowiedged v%i:Atiom; hut we do not remem ber any instance in which their wisdom was demonstrated to the world by the Tower of London being nearly burned down while they were procrastinating the intro duction of measures for the mitigation of severe distress in the great mass of the population."—lf, as the Chronicle asserts, it was a wise act in Sir Robert Peel, to grant Catholic Emancipation, it must be borne in mind that, in this as in other inqnro, h e was i isc on h• on com puisiuu—itgainstthe grain. He was breed to fs Disc, in spite of himself. His wisdom was not natural to him; be did not take kindly to it. No school-boy ever areal- MORNING SUN It lowed physic with a sourer or longer face, than St is Peel assumed, when compelled, aga inst every instinct dil ce nature, to do a wise act by conding the Catholicclairas; The Cambridge Advertiser, alluding to the Time ! praises of the Tories, observes :—" In indiscriminatii.g praise the Times goes far beyond all its Tory eont' e ,_ re ; poraries. No single act can the Ministry.do witu°l' being lauded - to the skies. If anything should' occult., which the greatest human wisdom could not PosO i l have foreseen, it is at once turned to their accounts an'. Ministers are extolled as gifted with a power °f pre science almost beyond mortal capacity." The Tyne Mercury remarks, in effusion to the Cornt.- uestion:—"lt i s a l mos t painful to recur to this subjec So much has been written and said about it, that one might have supposed long ere this time everybody ,445_,. convinced as to the impropriety and injuriou s nature °.,` the present Corn-laws, and as to the necessi t y of a deed,e`. duty, if not as speedily as possible a total re eat. In we believe the enly reason why we have not the latter IS, that the landed aristocracy have set their faces deteraa nately against it. Truly, they have done so as to fixed dutY as well as repeal. They lock upon the one as oPenieg the door to the other. Their plan is to erant nothing, lest any concession should lead to a total.demolition et t the present system. Short-sighted mewl They do ll ee , perceive that the more obstinate and deter mined are against change, the more resolved are every 0: becoming the people, that some great and importaip change must and shall take place."
