AMERICAN NEWS E XPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. By the important arrival of the Sheridan at this, port to-day, we have received New York papers to the 27th ult. inclusive. Her com mander, C aptain , .Depeyster, sent his papers to the Post-office,. instead of delivering them in the . u A sual mode, by the courtesy of the consignees. delay of several hours was thus caused to the public here, which, as the papers contained im portant news, was very annoying. so the a pproaching t r i a l of M ' Leod was the ab ing topic of interest; the panel of forty eight jur ors, of whom twelve would be selected to try him, their fairness and bias, &c., was pub lished in the border pa dents o f the pets, and by the correspon .New York papers. The excitement on the border had reached a fearful state of intensity, nsity, a n d the President had thought it ne sessy to issue a proclamation, which will he found below, warning persons not to j the Se cet Socie t i es or Hunter Lodges, formed oin on the border, with the intention of making incursions into Canada. These clubs are said to be an organiz e d 'body, possessing. bers men amongst their mem of wealth and property, and secret sptores,and arms and military weapons.

I:T° add to the excitement prevailing on the rder, the British a uthorities had made a seizure a Col.

Grogan had been deeply t hough in the border attacks of 1837 and 1838, fo : u g . ll w . hy the present excited time is selected th e a capture does not appear.

Alburgh Springs, Sept. 20, 1841. Mr. EDITOR—A circumstance occurred in this neigh. bourhood last night, which in these times of excitement, may be of sufficient interest to obtain a place in the columns of your paper. The circumstances were as follow :—Last night about two or three o'clock; RD armed force (from the other side of the line) of some 12 or 15 men, entered the house of a Mr. Brown, in search of one James Grogan who had arrived at Brown's (a bro. ther-in-law of his) the previous evening ; they first en tered the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who imme- Aiately raised an alarm for a hired man and son of Mr. B. then in their lodging room. The mob immediately placed a bayonet at each of their breasts, threatening that if they uttered another word they would run them through. As soon as they found their mistake they then entered the room occupied by. Mr. Grogan, gagged him, and dragged him from his bed to a waggon in the street, and made off with him towards the lines, leaving all his clothes, a hat, bayonet, and a handkerchief behind. These are all the facts to be obt a in e d. lam told that the cause of this treatment to Grogan is, that he was connected with the firing of buildings on this frontier in the late rebellion. Grogan has a wife and a large family of children at Lockport, New York, from whance he had lately come to this place on business. A VISITOR •AT THE SPRINGS. By a gentleman direct from the scene of this outrage, we learn that Mr. Grogan was severely wounded in his attempts to escape, having his thigh run through by a bayonet and a serious injury inflicted in his side. This occurred about four miles this side the line. How long are the people of the United States to submit to outrages of this nature ? (From the Correspondent of a Boston Paper.) On Sunday last. Sept. 19, twelve or more of these volunteers crossed the line, invaded our territory, and forcibly seized and carried into Canada this Colonel Grogan. They came by night and stealth two miles and more into the township of Aldburgh, bound him, and hurried him away to Montreal, there to be depositedin the dime hold of their prison. Grogan, it is said, fought against this gang like a tiger, and it was with no little difficulty that these loyal subjects of Queen Vic toria were able to overpower him and consummate their fell purpose. Last evening the citizens of St. Alban's met together. and appointed a committee of five to inquire into this outrage, and to report upon the facts of the case. HORRID MURDER. ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER, AND DIS COVERY OF THE DEAD BODY.—On Friday the lith inst., Mr Samuel Adams, a master printer of great re spectability, residing at No. 11, Elizabeth-street, and carrying on business at 59, Gold-street, under the firm of Scatchard and Adams, left his establishment and pro ceeded to the office of the Missionary Herald. After transacting some business there, he said he would go to Canal-street, to see some booksellers who owed him some money, but did not reach there, and the last that was seen.of him was in Broadway, near Chambers-street. Some person, it is understood, told him while out that Mr. J. C. Colt, the author of a new system of bookkeep ing, (who oceupied an office in the now granite building, at the corner of Chambers-street and Broadway, in the room next but one to Broadway,) who owed Mr. Adams some $2OO for printing his book, was about to leave the city, and Mr. Adams replied that he would go to see him and endeavour to get his money ; but Mr. Adams from that day was never seen alive. A little before four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, Mr. Wheeler, a celebrated teacher of penmanship, who occupies the room on the second story of the building fronting Broad way, and adjoining that of Colt, heard a strange and unaccountable noise in Colt's room, as if some persons were engaged in fencing or in a scuffle ; and anon, a crash as of some heavy body falling on the floor, and then a dead silence reigned. After waiting some time, Mr. Wheeler went to the door of Colt's room and knocked ; but receiving no answer, looked through the key-hole and saw two hats on the table of Colt's room, and Colt in the act of wiping or washing the floor. Mr, Wheeler. after waiting a considerable length of time, looked into the key-hole again, and still saw Mr. Colt en gaged in the same operation. Mr. W. then told his assistant in his school to watch Colt until he went out of his room, as he suspected something was wrorg, and the young man accordingly watched all night and heard Colt engaged in his room all night at work. On the morning of Saturday he law Colt put a box some four feet long out of his room marked with some name, and directed to St. Louis, via New Orleans, which in the course of the forenoon he delivered to a carman, who put it on his cart and conveyed it away. A day .or two afterwards, Mr. Wheeler gained ingress into Colt's room, and discovered a looking-glass broken, the floor bearing the appearance of haying been recently .scrubbed or scraped, and the place covered with fresh ink, and also ink spots on the wall, as if to conceal some other stains. A hatchet was also found, the handle of which had been scraped over, and then covered with ink. On hearing of the disap pearance of Mr. Adams, who was advertised for, Mr. Wheeler vent to the Coroner, and communicated to him his suspicions ; and that Magistrate, with Justice Taylor, of the Upper Police, aided by officers A. M. C. Smith and Walker, examined the premises ; and after taking the testimony of Mr. Wheeler and his assistant, concluded to arrest Colt, who was arrested by officer Smith accordingly on Friday, and taken before the Mayor. On being interrogated, he said he was not in his room on the night of the 17th instant, and that he did not put any box out of his room and send it away the next day, though it was proved that he did. He was then committed to prison. The Mayor then advertised for the carman who took the box from the store, and Mr. Godfrey, the superintendent of carts, diligently employed himself until he found him, and brought him before the Mayor. There he stated that he had conveyed a box from Mr. Colt's room and put it on board the ship Kala mazoo according to directions, for which Mr. Colt had paid him. The Mayor then sent officers Smith and Walker on board the ship and had her detained, as she was about to sail; and yesterday having the hatches opened, the Mayor and Justice Taylor, with the officers, repaired on board the vessel, where the box marked as stated, was found in her hold ; and after a time got out and brought on deck. There it was opened. and the body of a man supposed to be Mr. Adams found, with only the shirt on, partly covered with salt and chloride of lime, with cloths wrapped around it, a coat and other clothes packed around the body, and the whole enveloped in an old awning. It was then closed and conveyed to the dead house in the Park. There the Coroner, attended by Drs. Gilman and Kissam, and others, appeared and examined the body, which was greatly decomposed, and presented a frightful spectacle. A rope was round the neck extend ing round and under the knees, which were drawn up to the breast, the whole of the bone of the forehead almost was crushed and driven in upon the brain. There was a fracture of both the right and left pa rietal bones, portions of which were driven in and went across the right side of the chin, which also penetrated the stock on his neck. The stock was also cut open in front and fast only behind. The physicians ascribed his death to these wounds, and the testimony was laid before the Jury who assembled. The testimony, as re gards the identification of the body, clothing, &c., we were not allowed to hear, but the verdict was in accord ance with the above facts, imputing the killing, as they believed,.to J. C. Colt. He was brought out of prison, and looked pale and haggard, remaining silent, and his counsel, Messrs. Robert Emmett and J. A. Morrell, sent for, and afterwards he was remanded to prison.—New York Express. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, SEPT. 26- The operations were very limited to-day.

CHRISTINITE ACCOUNT OF THE ATTEMPT ON THE PA- LACE AT MADRID. It will be said that Queen Christina's party were de feated on the night of the 7th in Madrid, and that the Regent has triumphed. This is not the fact, for the two parties have come- to no decisive strug gle. Anisolated attack,. without preparation, by som e officers, and a mistake, which caused a general and a regiment to declare themselves before the proper time, defeated by chance the plans of attack, of which the result would have been successful, could each part have chosen its camp as they wished. The ‘ Regent has pro fited by this mistake. He has dispersed the conspirators, but not conquered them. It appears that the directors of the combined move ment at Madrid h a d had, at first, h attack by su r p r i se ; b u t this projectidea failed, because the Regent had not received word of all that was in prepa ration at Pamp e l una ,- an d h e kept on his guard. They then adopted a new plan of attack, combined with the effect to be produced in Madrid by the news of the rising of O'D onne ll . But this project also f a il e d, because Espartero rece i ve d w i th the news of t h e r i s i ng four let ters, left in mistake by O'Donnell on the table of the lodging which he occuped at Pampeluna, ere throwing himself into the citadel. These . letters were sent by - Ribiero to • Madrid, and betrayed the, officers at Madrid who were in concert with O'Donnell. The Regent ordered their arrest,. and committed the execu tion of this order to the cavalry ; but he was so badly served, that all were able to escape into places of concealment. Here they remained four days, Briga dier Pezuela, Mother of the Marquis of Villerma, keep ing up correspondence between them. The movement was to break forth on the morning of the Bth. The corps of cavalry stationed at Vicalvaro, two leagues from Madrid, hacLpromised their adhesion ; that is, the great ' er part had promised to remain neutral; one squadron THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1841; only consented to come to the gates of Madrid, where Leon was to put himself at its head, and march on the barracks of Soldado and Posilo, in which were the Royal Guards. These would follow. Leon also. At the signal, Don Manuel de la Concha, brother of the Concha who has declared for Espartero at Caffalla, having married his sister-in-law, was to make the same attempt in the barracks of the regiment of the Princesa. The adhesion of the reginient of Soria was also reckoned on, but Espar tero changed its Colonel. The squadron, too, that was to meet Leon at the gate of Madrid, was ordered sud denly: to the capital, and placed where it was surrounded by regiments of hussars faithful to Espartero. But Leon persisted in his plans. Such was the state of things before night- fall. But two hours before Espartero had dismissed eighty-five officers of the two battalions of the guard, and sent to the quarter of Soldado a new colonel, charged by him with the command of the regiment, and with full powers to announce to the. sergeants that they were to replace their officers. The announcement of their dismissal so. exasperated the officers, that, only consulting their in dignation, and without giving the least notice of the step they were taking, they went in a crowd to the quarter del Soldado, hoping to gain the soldiers they had so often led to victory. But the new Colonel (Brigadier Velarde)-was there already, and had ordered the regi ment under arms in the . Court. When the officers pre sented themselves lie declared to • the sergeants that now they were in possession of their new com missions ; he exhorted them to ,earn them by an act of devotion, and at the same time ordered the batta lion to fire. Some sergeants alone fired at the officers, who would have all fallen had the regiment obeyed and really fired before them. There was but one killed and one wounded. The otherS withdrew. Gen. Concha, hearing the discharge of musketry, took it for the signal, and although the hour Was not that agreed upon for the signal, he imagined that something had oc curred to hasten it. and he instantly hurried to the quar ters of the Princesa regiment. He was well received, as he expected, and dragging along with him the soldiers, he entered the Royal Palace, after being joined by the troops on guard without it. He then took up a position, and defended himself against the attacks of the remain ing troops' faithful to the Government. After what had passed at the Soldado bairack, Leon and Pezuela, could no longer present them Selves there alone. The Posilo barracks, where the other battalion of the Guard was, are close to Espartero's hotel, which was kept by the chasseurs of Luchana, devoted to the Regent. Espartero had also summoned to him the Regiment of Soria, under its new officers and Colonel, so that there remained no longer a resource for Concha and Pezuela. The latter, in despair, exchanged his military hat for a common one, covered his uniform with a cloak, traversed the Esparterist soldiers blockading the Palace, and penetrated to the inner court, where he found Concha, and informed him of the state of things. Pezuela told him that there was no hope•of succour, but he would do all that could be done, viz., come back with Leon, that they might all die fight ing. Pezuela, for this purpose. got out of the Palace again, and joined Leon. Both then disguised their uni forms, and penetrated to Concha, in the interior court of the' Palace. The details of the struggle which took place need not 6e given here. All known with certainty is,' that Leon, Concha, and Pezuela succeeded in getting out of Madrid by the gate of St.-Vincent, with 300 in fantry and 70 horse, and were soon out of the reach of pursuit. It is not known whether Leon and the others were of the party that carried the attack into the stair case and the Royal apartments, which were filled with dead and wounded, or whether they approved this. All certain is, that Espartero is triumphant. But will he be long so ? • He has against him the Carlists, who have rallied to Christina,. and those who did not. Extract of a letter from Saragossa, 7th inst.:— " The Captain-General of the province of Saragossa has written as follows to the Government:--' The 2d regiment of, the Royal Guard, which had declared against the Government, has made its submission. Many sol diers are returned, and the remainder have treated for terms without effusion of Spanish blood. General Espe leta is going to fetch the only battalton that is missing. General Borso de Carminati, who had placed himself at the head of the revolt, has been arrested by the National Guards, and conducted from Malten to Borja. The po litical chief has addressed a short proclamation to the inhabitants, announcing the suppression of the revolt at Saragossa, and assuring them that the law will be en forced with energy. The provincial deputation, the Ayun tamiento, and the National Guard, have addressed a Ines sage to the Regent, in which, after expressing their con fidence in him, and assuring him of their attachment, they add, Be deaf to the voice of the Syrens, who have too long lulled you into a fatal sleep. Resume your war like ardour, and again grasping the sword, which has endowed the country with so much glory, swear not to sheath it until you have exterminated all Its enemies. The province of Saragossa and the whole of Arra gon, await your first steps with anxiety. Rely on the bravery of its sons. One blow, a single blow, struck with your arm, can stifle for ever the volcano of our poli tical convulsions. Otherwise learn that the Arragonese will never stop in the career of liberty and independence, and that, rather than submit to a tyrannical yoke, they will plunge into all the horrors of a new revolution. Avoid a future of blood and tears, and have constantly present to your mind the truth, that there is no choice between despotism and anarchy, when a nation is resolved to obtain at any price their liberty." • The following from Bayonne, of the 10th, is given br the Constitutionnel " We learn from an English courier that M. Isturitz is deeply involved in the attempt at Madrid, and .that in case of success in proclaiming a provisional government, he was to have been its chief, with full powers from the committee in Paris. M. Isturitz is under arrest. Three military chiefs have already been condemned to death by. a Court-martial. One of them is a younger brother of, Cordova. Great forbearance will be used toWards the , private soldiers who were seduced into it, but the officers will be made to pay dearly for du ir mutiny. On the Bth Sir A. Aston had a conference with the Regent at the Palace, and the resident representatives of other nations have done the same. Our accounts from Pampelun a come up to the 10th. O'Donnell cannot leave the citadel. All his communi cations with the other points in insurrection have been cut off by Ribiero. It was impossible for O'Donnell to hold out much longer, as he had provisions for only three days. The whole of the line between Jaca, Brota, Ainsa, Saint Liesta, Barbastro, Saragossa, and other points, was entirely anti-Christino up to the 9th. The Reactionaries are therefore confined to but very few por tions of the Basque provinces and Navarre. Their posi tion even at Bilbao, as well as all the points they have gained possession of on the borders of the Bay of Bis cay, has been rendered untenable, by orders sent from Madrid by Sir Arthur Aston, on the Bth, to the English Consul at St. Sebastian, to declare openly and energetic ally against the insurrection in the name of England, and not to suffer any English trading vessels to supply the insurgents with arms, ammunition, provisions, or stores of any kind. The accounts from Catalonia are entirely unfavourable to the cause of O'Donnell. On the Bth, Barcelona, without being able to have had any news of the state of Madrid, showed a disposition altogether hostile to Queen Christina. The Government must have received detailed reports from its Consul, through Figueras and Perpignan." The France confirms the statement of M. Isturitz hav ing been arrested. The Indicateur of Bordeaux says :—" Two proclama tions, addressed by O'Donnell to the troops and inhabi tants of the Basque provinces, which have been pub lished, were composed at the Hotel de Courcelles, and said to be the work of Messrs. Martinez de la Rosa, To reno, and Oca. O'Donnell took them with him when he left Paris to organise the insurrection. The Temps, in its intelligence from the frontier, states that on the 6th General Ribeiro sent out of' Pampeluna all the old men, women, and children, under fourteen years of age, retaining only such men as were capable of bearing.arms. Ever since the 2d, it adds, the troops, have been constantly under arms, bivouacking In the streets and squares. General O'Donnell had contrived to get in some provisions by the gate which opens to the country.

The Indicateur of Bordeaux, in mentioning the depar ture of the Infante Don Francisco for Spain, gives the following colour to the motives of his journey. It says: The Infante, devoted to the national cause of Spain, on hearing the first news of the insurrection of Pampe lima, set out for Madrid, to unite his endeavours with those of the Queen's Government and the Regent, to maintain the welfare of the nation, and the constitutional throne of his august niece Isabella II." This journal publishes the subjoined letter from one of the Prince's suite, which contains some curious details. It is dated Pau, 10th instant:— " We arrived here at eleven o'clock last night, with the intention of continuing our journey, ar.d getting over the frontier in the course of to-day. M. de Hoyos went to the Prefecture with our passports. The Prefect, ad interim, in formed hire that the persons who accompanied the Prince would meet with no difficulties, but that Don Francisco could not be permitted to leave France till after the arri val of instructions, which here expected in the morning. At half-past nine this morning the Prefect came to his Royal Highness and endeavoured to dissuade him from continuing his journey, but was met with a dignity and a firmness of resolution he no doubt did not expect. The Prince told him that his mind was decidedly made up, even if they should attempt to arrest him, and therefore he should immediately order the horses to be put to his carriage. The Prefect replied that he had no orders to use any violence opon the Prince's person, but was prohibited from allowing him to have post-horses. Enough,' said the Prince, We will go on foot !'

" F3RDINAND." 1 with the miserable shadow of aliment instead of the sub- stance, by which the craving appetite of their offspring is mocked rather than satiated ; while in one town (Paisley), with a population of sixty thousand, eight hun dred and four families have been for weeks subsisting on the eleemosynary assistance of their impoverished neigh bours. Thus besides. the ordinary helpless poor, one family in every seventeen is deriving pauper support from the casual subscription of benevolence. Is it strange if death find an easy prey among such a population, and produce fearful havoc soon? But what can stop his ravages during winter amidst such destitution, should the famished victims remain in quiescent helplessness and tame submission till then? The unemployed, who are pining in utter destitution, and have appealed to the benevolence of the affluent and of Government for the means to expatriate themselves and their families to the farthest foreign shores, where they may obtain labour and reward for their industry, have repeatedly assured me that it has been with difficulty they have restr a ined their younger companion s from pillaging the provision warehouses around them, and they have broken up bands of young men associated to take by force rather than die by starvation, over whom they had parental control. If five full-grown millions of such should break - loose from the terrors of law in the darkness of winter, where will be the rights and restraints of property ? There are silent sufferers throughout the country, among whom are many who would die of hunger rather than complain, whose household furniture has been gra dually disappearing in exchange for food—who, during the last twelve months, have not enjoyed one comfort able meal, but whose whole families have subsisted on the earnings of some juvenile member, as his parents stay. For days and almost weeks together numbers of such lived without fire during the depth of last winter, while the starved and shivering infants sought .refuge in the dwelling of their neighbours, leaving their father and mother to express their parental anguish in unavailing and bitter tears. The chill and heartbreaking penury of these children of want has sought momentary relief by pawning the shirt from the back of the father, the cap Or ,he handker chief from . the head and shoulders of the mother, or by the sale of vessels no longer required for culinary pur poses. But so limited has been the supply of sustenance thus procured, that the younger children, by the piercing cries of want, have supplicated food from their neighbours, and the only child at work has gone forth to his labour in the morning fasting, his mother, with tears, complaining she had not bread to give him; while the only alleviation of the father's hunger. was found, in the influence of tobacco on his stomach, a morsel of which had been obtained in charity ; and when relierel by death from the pangs of famine, only a drop of cold water could be found in the house to refresh or soothe the agonies of expiring nature. The tears of a mother and widow might well then be many and bitter when standing over a deceased husband, she sent forth her working; child to his daily toils, saying—" good morning, love, I hav'nt a bit of bread to give thee." It is thus that w e trace the unnatural process which ends in the exulta tion of a child who shall be seen dancing in joy, and exclaiming " we have plenty of bread and butter, too, now, since my father died:" in consequence of benevolent contributions then received. There is a generous philanthropy among the poor : their sympathy and charity for their neighbours in. dis tress prevent the worst consequences of destitution. Their contributions, though small when compared with the sums given by the wealthy, are large when contrasted with their own means, and generous as the display of feeling and the expression of principle : nor will their cup of cold water be forgotten by the Judge of all. Thu s , indeed, is life' often preserved, and the bonds. of society are kept from dissolution. But we must not too confi dently rely on such principle of conservation : when want extensively prevails, its demands the more speedily and universally exhaust the community, and the sym pathetic vibrations of discontent more widely pervade the _masses, and call forth a response in feeling and action.. It is but too probable that there are many thou sands of .families suffering privation, and rapidly tend ing to. the condition I have represented.. 11thy should it be so ? are" the people slothf u l, or d o they capriciously refuse to work ? It is far otherwise. They eagerly plead for liberty to toil, that by the sweat of their brow they may eat bread all their days, but their former employers can give no work, since their Capital is bankrupt, and 'their energies prostrate ; or their warehouses are filled with unsaleable goods, and their markets glutted with a supply larger than foreign merchants can purchase ; because our fellow-subjects dare not take in exchange the produce of those foreign lands. The scarcity of home-grown produce and the conse quent high price of provisions, have it is to be feared, tempted the dealers in grain to mix deleterious ingredi ents in the food of the people, and thus those who can procure nothing but a scanty supply of bread may have not only been defrauded and plundered, but their un wholesome di e t ma y b e hurrying them to an untimely grave, thus adding to the cruelties of unjust legislation. In Staffordshire the alarm was given that such deleterious mixtures were sold as food for the people. But there has been cause to echo the same complaint in other quarters. Such foul wickedness has been detected in this town; and flour mixed with plaster of Paris and other sub stances, in large quantities, has been bought from the regular dealer. One case I could name where eighty sacks were bought as the finest flour, which by chemical analysis was found so adulterated as to be unfit even for manufacturing purposes. What the appalling issue might he of persisting in practices so nefarious and calamitous, if they should come to be generally known, I fear to anticipate. But they clearly enough indicate the operation of the fiscal restrictions on our provision trade; while the prevalent distress among the trading classes proves the vicious tendency of the whole commercial tariff, and especially that policy which excludes the grain of foreign countries from our regular market. The present occupants of Government offices are not ignorant of this state of the country. A few short months ago, indeed, they boldly denied the existence of distress, but gradually they have come to admit that for some time it has prevailed in the manufacturing districts. It is, however, but too probable that they have dissembled the facts to the Queen or kept them back from her cogni zance. Memorials adopted at large assemblies of the suffer ing people, signed by the highest civic functionaries, by Magistrates of the most populous towns of the empire; or by ministers of religion of every name, have been accu mulated in the Government offices ; and, though in some instances, assurance was given that such memorials had been presented, yet it was afterwards acknowledged by the highest Minister of the Crown they had not been laid before the Queen ; but, while they were stored in the Home-office, that Minister of tke Crown did advise her Majesty to prorogue Parliament, in opposition to the pray ers of many thousands of her loyal and peaceful subjects. Thus it appears that men, who have been conversant with the state of the country, and must have known the starving condition of myriads—who strained every power and unscrupulously exerted every influence to acquire a dominant ascendancy in the nominal House of Commons, and who succeeded in the overthrow of their political antagonists, by delusion and artifice, hare assumed office with a resolution to contemn the people's sufferings and prayers, as well as to contravene the expression of the Queen's desires, and her patriotic recommendation, that some means might be devised by which the national ex penditure might be sustained without any increase to the existing burdensome taxation, and by which the dis tresses of the poor might be permanently mitigated. Not only did they know the wants and distress of the people from the depression of commerce, and the benevolent and enlightened solicitude of our justly-beloved Mo narch; but for six months they were conversant with the project of commercial reform, favourably advocated and entertained by other financiers ; they also knew that the principle of free trade in every branch of commerce, and especially in the provision of the people, had been approved by millions of petitioners, and was regarded by thousands of religious teachers of the people as a righteous means of improving the country and ame liorating the condition of myriads ready to perish. Yet they fOrmed a Government of men pledged to op pose these principles. They refused to take into consi deration the state of the nation ; they slighted the prayers of millions ; they intercepted the memorials on behalf of famishing multitudes : the fearful and wretched state of the country was vainly exhi bited to them, and their solemn obligation with its hazardous responsibility was urged on their attention in eloquent and fervid pleadings in the House of Commons ; earnest entreaties were made that they would not suffer this season to pass and winter to approach till some re medy might be adopted,—but, with a supercilious perti nacity and an appalling hardihood, they have shut up the national council and dismissed the senators of the laud to their pleasures or to pursue their selfish inte rests, while the nation reels on the brink of ruin, and men's hearts are failing them for fear in observing the signs of the times. The summer is past and the harvest is ended ; but the people, instead of preparing for win ter, have bean exhausting their resources, or eking out their existence by the wild vegetables of the field. Their clothes, their bedding, their furniture haVe been sold or pledged ; and they have no hope of employment for the reward of which they may be able to redeem their pledges. How then can they meet cold, dreary winter, without a stock of food, fuel, or clothing, or any pro spect of remunerative employment ? How can they resist fevers, contagion, or pestilence ? and should the seditious and treasonable plot convulsion and civil war, how can we assure ourselves that the faithful subjects will be able to resist the temptation, or successfully to repress revolt ?_ In despite of all remonstrances or representations, then, the Legislature has separated, probably, till another year, leaving the people to such direful calamities as want of employment and extreme poverty may occasion, while no provision has been made to mitigate or soothe exasperated feeling. The consequences may, indeed, recoil on the counsellors who advised, or the obstinate and daring partisans who, for political or selfish purposes, have incurred the fatal responsibility of such a measure. But who among them will be able to relume the light of the eye once dimmed, by the shades of death, or give the cold heart to beat again ? And who can calculate the result among the myriads which may be called to hear the wail of funeral obsequies, when mothers, in worn raiment, yet with living hearts under it, shall fill the public places with their wild Rachael cries ? Will the wretched counsellors of such infatuated policy be able to encounter a whole people wearing a pain-stricken look— a look past complaint ; as if the oppression of the great had been like the hail and the thunder; but was no longer a thing irremediable or beyond their power of resistance and revenge ? Were they not bound to re member and act in consideration of the tact that, even should wise measures be promptly adopted when Parlia ment again assembles, it will be long ere their beneficial operations will be experienced by the people ? It is with trembling I look forward. _ _ Pardon, dear Sirs, this lengthened statement. Some- thing may be gained by a sympathy and communion of sentiment in such a crisis. But I propose to do more. If the suffering people shall see that a movement is in progress in their behalf among friends in whom they have confidence, they may renew their patience, and submit to protracted suffering for a season, in hope of relief. I should wish, then, to prove to them that not a few, but that thousands of their pastors sympa thise in their sorrows and share in their sufferings, and have resolved to act with and for them at such a time. May Ibe permitted to recommend that immediate measures be taken to ascertain both the conditions and sentiments of your people and neigh bours, and that memorials and a petition be pre pared on the basis of such inquiry—that memorials to the Queen, one by the males and another by the females, and a petition to the Legislature, severally com plaining of the neglect and insult perpetrated by the Ministers of the Crown ir. the present prorogation of Parliament. and also declaring that the present Rouse of Commons does not represent the people. Such docu• ment may bear the signature of every adult male and female willing to subscribe them, with their designation. I should wish to see such memorials and petitions from as many separate congregations as may be brought to feel and co-operate in this movement. The documents I should recommend to be collected in London, at a time and place to be hereafter specified, the time to be coin cident with the opening of Parliament. To give effect to them, it will remain for consideration whether simul taneously another conference ought to be held in London. If so, .I should recommend that the members be chosen by every separate congregation, the number and charac ter, whether lay or cerical, being determined by'the people themselves. But the arrangement, as well as de termination for holding such a conference, will most be neficially proceed from London, and to the friends there' I commit the matter. The memorials being collected, should be presented to her Majesty at one time, if pos sible, by deputies, as many as can be admitted to the Royal presence, and escorted to the Palace by the whole delegation. The petitions, in like manner, should be presented at the bar of the Legislature, with a prayer that the petitioners be heard in support of their cause by counsel, or otherwise. In the interim, correspondence will be extensively re quired—the Anti-Corn-law League, too, will have to put forth its fullest energies by lectures and the co-operation of its affiliated associations. In their efficient Vroceedure I have full confidence. For each congregation, there fore, a small Committee will be required, say two or three, whether in conjunction with, or independent of the minister, as circumstances may render expedient. I would further respectfully suggest that each Congrega— tion should take immediate measures to raise a fund for the expenses to be incurred, and resolve, say by the Ist of December, to transmit to the treasurer of the Anti- Corn-law League at least 1/. sterling, and also to secure whatever sum may be needed to bear the expenses of the deputation to the London. Conference. I would ask you, dear Sirs, to ascertain whether other ministers in your vicinity than those whom I have ad dressed, be favourable to such an effort, and communicate with them, so thoi they may, be included in this general and national movement against an odious system of taxa tion and injustice, by which the poor are robbed and the energies of the nation are repressed and prostrated. I am, dear Sirs, your obedient servant, Manchester, Oct. 15, 1841. J. W. MASSIE.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 2.—The following document, which has been communicated by the Chancellor of the Home Department at Vienna, Count Alittrowslii, to the clergy of the! Austrian -provinces which form part of the Ger manic Confederatio - n, gives a curious insight into the conflict which has arisen in Germany in consequence of the pretensions of the Pope 'to assert his former supre macy in matters which for half a century have been placed under the jurisdiction of the consistoral courts of those countries.

"'Shice it is incumbent upon the Pope, by virtue of the apostolic office conferred on him by God, to watch .most anxiously over the inviolability of the doctrines and discipline of the Church, he could only lear❑ with grief and displeasure tidings of anything that militated against them. His firm opinion respecting marriages contracted between Catholics and Protestants is also sufficiently known, for he has ever declared such marriages to be unlawful, and to lead to per dition; partly on account of the shameful intermixture of creeds which they promote; and partly of the imminent FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL PESTH, SEPT. 30.—The question of mixed marriages, which still excites the general interest of the Nobles, both in Hungary and Tran Sylvania, will, doubtless, be discussed in the Diet of Transylvania, which is to be opened on the 15th of November. We are here very anxious for the resolutions which. may be adopted there on this subject. The vintage in Hungary is almost every where satisfactory ; but the harvest has, for the most part, failed, and the price of corn continues to rise.

HANOVER, OCT. 10.—On the 6th Of this month the King, attended by a brilliant staff, and accomppnied by the Duke of Brunswick, and by Generals Von Natzmer and Von Slockhetn, reviewed the troops assembled here. The regiments not belonging to our garrison leave us to day to return to their quarters. The Duke of Bruns wick returned yesteriay to his capital, when he will go to Blackenburgh, where his Majesty, the King, will shortly pay a visit. The former Generals leave Hanover to-day.

In cases where it appears desirable to call into ac tivity the faculties of the mind, occupations and amusement have been found valuable means in fixing the attention, and in restoring a healthy state of action. When a patient in this condition cannot be induced to undertake some useful employment, it is' often possible to divert and keep alive the attention by kindness. The means employed for this purpose are various sports and games ; and those which call into play both attention of mind and activity of body appear most useful--such as the games of tennis-le-grace, battledore, &c.: c h ess , backgammon, bagatelle, cards, &c., are provided, and to many are sources of much plearare and amusement. The exhibition of a magic-lanthorn in the winter months was very successful in affording much general enjoyment, Although these means of keeping up atten tion are more necessary and more useful in particular cases, yet in all there is reason to believe they have a beneficial influence. Music and dancing, so far from causing over excitement or restlessness, seem to be followed by increased quiet and more natural repose. Most festival days are made occasions for a general assemblage of the inmates in their respec tive departments, who dance with much spirit to the music of one of the patients, who, dressed in gala c,s tume, plays the violin with great perseverance, and is evidently a chief participator in the enjoyments. These things, though in themselves trifles, yet are at all times important agents in the treatment of ins , mity, and they become of still more importance and value in an institu tion where the patients are undergoing a change from a system of coercion to one of comparative freedom. Much of the excitement liable to arise in patients who have been subjected to restraint, there is reason to con clude, has been averted by these means. A liberal supply of books has been provided for the use of the patients ; the library consists of 296 vo lumes. They are read with apparent pleasure and in terest, and a few of the patients have been encouraged to read aloud to the rest ; this evidently promotes a good feeling,—is an agreeable mode of occupying time and conduces to, the restoration of the faculties. One daily and several weekly newspapers are regu larly supplied, as well as Chambers's Journal, and the Penny and Saturday Magazines. Tne object of this institution being the restoration of the mental faculties, it would seem superflnus to att-mpt more than this ; nevertheless, in a few caws, endeavours have been made to communicate instruction in reading and writing, and happily not. without some degree of success. No cases cause more anxiety to the medical officers of a lunatic asylum than those in which there is a dis position to commit suicide. A large proportion of pa tients admitted have evinced this propensity ; and, al though the attempts to effect their purpose have been both numerous and ingenious, yet we are happy to re port that in no instance have they been successful, not withstanding such patients are not subject to any species of mechanical restraint.—Report of Lancaster Luna tic Asylum, 1841.

There are three institutions of this kind in Manchester—the Ancoats, the Chorlton, and the Salford Lyceums, each of which contains a large number of sub scribers. They differ from the Mechanics' Institutes principally in providing more amusement for the work ing classes, combined with libraries and evening schools ; they have news• rooms, and provide the means of learn ing music. gymnastic exercises, and dancing. The sub scription is 2s. per quarter. Females are admitted to share the benefits of these institutions, in which there are separate classes for teaching reading, writing, gram mar, sewing, and knitting. The greatest care is exer cised to guard against any species of impropriety. An Essay and Discussion Society is attached to each of the Lyceums. There are occasional concerts and soirees. STATE OF TRADE...—. The market for all kinds of Manchester goods has been exceedingly de pressed during the whole of the week. In goods the demand has fallen off considerably since last week, and prices are less firm in consequence. Printing cloths are lower in price than they were ever known to be before, and shirungs and long cloths, which last week Were in fair deniand, owing to the first report of the China news, are relapsing into their former dulness. Yarns for the Russia market are flat, the season for shipments being over. The German buyers are acting cautiously. In mule yarns for the India markets fair business is doing. There appears no prospect of a healthy business, at least until the opening of the Spring trade ; and even then, unless we have a smaller production than usual, or a greater demand, we shall remain in the commer cial " slough of despond."—Manchester Times. Ma. THELWELL.—We understand that, al though, upon a subsequent application to the bench, the amount of bail required fur Mr. Thelwell's appearance this day was reduced from two sureties in 1,0001. each, to four sureties in 2501., no bail has been tendered; and Mr. Thelwell has, consequently, been in custody since Satur thy last. He will be brought up for further examination this morning at the Borough Court. Inspector M'Mul lin, who was despatched to Bally-mote, C )unty Sli , ro, on Saturday last, to bring thence James Thelwell and Pao trick Rafferty, returned yesterday afternoon with those prisoners, and the two females, Rafferty's wife and sister, all of whom are now in the custody of the borough po lice:—/Ilanchester Paper ----- WARLIKE APPEARANCES.—The number of ships fitting for sea, and the general call for seamen to man them, is greater than we ever recollect—certainly quite equal to anything of the sort during the late war. The whole neighbourhood of the Dock-yard and Com mon third presents the appearance of one continuous placard. Every ship has its bill or placard—and as though this were not enough, the Admiralty has caused one to be exhibited at the Dock -gates, which to a sailor has all the appearances of a "round robin"—no . legi than 18 or 20 ships being enumerated as requiring hands. , Th e placard alluded to, is a notice to ordinary seamen, landsmen, and sto u t b oys — who are informed that they may have employ ment i n any of the ships enumerated— or may be enter e d for`' general service." Those who have been engaged in boats, barges, or small craft, are particularly inv i te d . Yet amid all this, we are assured,. on good authority, that men are slow in entering. We hope, fur the sake of humanity, that the energies of this nation are not likely to be called into operation in war like conflict ; yet what are we to suppose is the cause of all this. We r ea dily concede the point, that to preve9t war, it is proper to be always prepared for it, and wo, ," 1 :: 1 fain hope that th e d emonstration now made may end peace.
