A ve ry useful little statistical work, called " Facts and Figures," published by HOOPER, contains the following remarks:— ~ The total population of th e United Kingdom this ' 3 • year, will be about 26,856,000 av (without arm and n ss?'s 2 1 ') ' I n 1831, it was 24;133,000. and in 1821 , it ~ The i ncre ase in 1831 over 182 1, i n the United King dom, (-). was 15 p er cent. ; but th e increase in 1841 over 1831 is under Ili- per cent. " This is a most unexpected and startling re su lt. a H a d the population continued to increase at tbq same previousdten years : it w ou ld h ave ra tio as during the been a million larger, f ed ecrease iu the ratio been principally in Ireland ; but even in England and Scotland, it has undergone a much greater diminution than was expected. " A variety of causes will, doubtless, be assigned. One of the most prominent will be, probably,_ that of the _ e • sure of poverty ; and luting the last two years stplerhs; cause will unquestionably have operated.. The p eriod, however, extends over ten years, and includes time • f eminent prosperity and abundant harvests ; so . that s t b h o c , solution of the phenomenon cannot be effected . simply t 3 e the fact of poverty during a recent portion only of the ten years." The result, which is said to be surprising and startling, can be so only to those who have paid no attention to the progress of public affairs. We, at least; were prepared for it, and we think it can be neither startling nor surprising to the readers of The Sun. Many months back we directed attention to the coming census as afford ing the most conclusive proof against the starva tion system which Sir ROBERT PEEL, to his eternal opprobrium, • has taken office to main tain. W e were sure that such would he the re sult, and our expectations have been realised. At the same time, what is said in the para graph about the recent date of the pressure of poverty, and the existence of some years of abundance, is tolerably correct, and supplies the imagination with the means of drawing a of frightful pict ure the woe which has been in flicted on our People, by a so-called paternal Government, within the last five years. The first five years of the pen iod were years of pros perity, and to the close" r of 1836 there can be little or no doubt that the .. population h wasat least commen surate I l l v r o gress with its of previous ten years, if it w • progress in t e .ere not wholly unex ampled.

Then begun deficient harvests; then the law for strangling the people, which shut them out from the food of the United States, and which pre vented the people there or elsewheie from culti vating food for our people, came into full and too terribly effective operation. The growing trade with the United States was suddenly checked, the prosperity of our people was rudely arrested. In 1837 they began to suffer bitterly ; in 1838 their sufferings were great; in 1839 they increased, because the previous dreadful year had deprived them of their means; in 1840 they were aggravated; and in 1841, if some change be not speedily made in their condition, their fate will be unspeakably calamitous. The check, then, which the population has received, dates from the end of 1836; and during those years the people have undergone all the sufferings which are coincident with being starved out of existence. The untenanted houses at Stockport, Bolton, Paisley, Manchester, and Leeds, which were built on the scale of progress which the population had made to the end of 1836, though a fool of a Commis sioner could see in them only an evidence of greedy over-speculation, testify to the deep dis tress and desolation which have fallen on the po pulation and arrested its progress since 1836. duced to meet without her boundaries, would wield their influence in her behalf, and by their presence allay any latent jealousy betwixt England and France. From such a jury a definitive sentence of arbitration would be obtained, the result of the courteous collision of diver gent opinions ; and with this great advantage, that, from the very first meeting of the Conference, a vigilant, controlling influence, would be established over the Peninsula." What would Englishmen say, if, after having quarrelled, they had established a Government which suited them, though it might not suit their neighbours, a Congress of the despots of the Con tinent, who had taken no other part with us than to make our dissensions as bitter as possible, should assemble at Paris to alter our arrange ments, and settle them according to the views of the opponents and enemies of England? Eng- lishmen would spurn the dictates of such a Con gress ; yet an English journal proposes such a one to control ESPARTERO and the Spaniards. They, like Englishmen, will, under the pre sent circumstances, spurn the interference of the Great Powers ; and the Minister of England who should now unite with them against ESPARTERO to settle the affairs of Spain, would deserve to be impeached and exiled to the genial Court of the CZAR. If such an infamous policy be con templated by the Tories, oppressed as the Go vernment is with difficulties at home, they must design to embarrass and distract the whole of Europe. How can it be otherwise f We have a law to limit our people, as nearly as possible, to the food which our own territory can supply ; and fifty years ago ADAM SMITH informed our legislators, though he informed them in vain, that such a law was tantamount to starving out of existence all the population who might be able to obtain food from other quarters. The French Journals of Monday are naturally occupied with the recent caricature of a rebel lious conspiracy at Brussels. Were it not that it involves the fate of a few reckless adventurers, and the happiness of their families, we should hardly deem it worth writing about. Whether the rebels belonged to the Orangist faction or not, is of little consequence, as there is really no party in Belgium so hostile to King LEOPOLD as to threaten the stability of his Government. The citizens of Paris are again crying out for some diminution of the imposts on the importa tion of beef. Their obtuseness of intellect is such, that they cannot yet be made to under stand how France is more prosperous by com pelling them to dine on broth made of the flesh of dogs, cats, donkeys, and worn-out horses, than on young fat German oxen at a still cheaper rate. They, in their ignorance of the Conservative be nefits of home production, blindly overlook the interests of the cat-rearers and dog-fanciers. Were their revolutionary prayers attended to, what would become of all the old ladies who now rear tabbies for the Parisian market? What dog_ fancier could live by stealing and skinning poodles, were the restaurateurs supplied with young fat beef at an equally cheap rate? Still the Parisians will not be convinced, and the Monopolists protest that they shall starve in their ignorance. We shall not, however, have a complete view of the horrible effects of the Devil's laws, unless we take into consideration the natural law of population, which increases in a geometrical ratio, or at least an accelerated ratio. instead, therefore, of the increase of population having been less during the last half of the decennial period, it ought to have been greater. Nor is there any reason, except the Corn-law, why it should not. The facility of communication with all parts of the empire, and with foreign countries, has in the same period been much increased. New fields have been brought into cultivation at home, and vast fields have been opened to us abroad. Millions of acres across the Atlantic smilingly woo the industry of man, and the infamous and impious law has forbidden man to cultivate and fertilize them. Our merchants and monied men lent their capital to make railroads, construct canals, and open up the far West to the enterprise of the world, and then the law forbade them, and forbade the world, to reap the rich re ward that was prepared. Had our na tional policy not shut our ports to grain from other countries, and diverted the stream of emigration from the fertile plains of the Mississippi to the Southern Pole and half barren Canada, the population might have continued to increase, according to the natural law, in an accelerated ratio, to this year. The infamous law has prevented it, and caused all the misery which ever marks a stationary or de clining population. If it be said, as it sometimes idly is, that a manufacturing is a poor and a degraded popu lation, is it not, let us ask, the business of Government to .inquire into the causes of such a degradation, if it exist, and, if possible remove them ? Than the smiths, miners, colliers, bricklayers, carpenters, engineers, prin ters, carters, &c. &c., who abound in the manu facturing districts as well as hand-loom weavers, and over-wrought factory girls, there are no finer men, both physically and morally, in the em pire. There is no reason, whatever, therefore, why the rest of a manufacturing population should not be equally sturdy, were the manu facturing towns drained and built with some re gard to the health of the people. Whatever may be the lot of the population, it is clearly the duty of Government not to place any obstacles in the way of their supplying themselves with food ; and the Government which does so forfeits the cha racter of a protector, and acquires that of a mur derer of the people. It will be observed that the progress of popu lation has been most retarded in Ireland, where there are few or no manufacturers. Here we see the exemplification of the clearing system of the BRUENS and the BERESFORDS, and the sad ef fects of a people being reduced to live on luinpers. The Irish have been killed off by typhus and famine, consequent on being deprived of food and shelter. After all that can be said in favotir of the starvation system it does not increase the agricultural population, for besides the compara tive little increase of the Irish, who are almost all agriculturists, it is in evidence that the agricul tural population of England has not increased at all tantamount to the inhabitants of towns. The Presse has a clever article, dissuading the Government from the adoption of a retalia tory coenmercial policy towards the United States. General O'DoNxELL has arrived in Paris to re port to Madam MuNoz the bad success of the revolutionary movement in Spain. What ex planation she will deign to give her dupe respect ing her disavowal of himself and his partizans, we pretend not to know but the interview will be rather awkward, the more especially as O'DONNELL has expended what little fortune he possessed in this mad attempt. But from the strong force which Louis PHILIPPE is concentrating on the Spanish frontier, it would appear that General O'DONNELL is not long destined to remain without employment. The CITIZEN-KING is said to be dissatisfied with the trifling number of throats cut in the Peninsula. On the question of naval disarmament, we find the following in the Toulonnais :-- The disarmament of our naval forces, against which we have so often protested, is now probably going to take place. Nevertheless, all France being against this un timely dislocation, a different method has been taken to accomplish it than was at first intended. The sailors who have served for four years, three and a half, and even three years, have been ordered to be dismissed from service. We hear that even the sailors who have scarcely been forty-two months on board the Government ships will also be dismissed. The sailors are not to be all sent away together ; care has been taken that they should leave only in small detachments, that their number may not make them be remarked on their way home. They have received permits authorising them to servo in the commercial navy. Men from the northern provinces are to be embarked on board the Jena, destined for Brest, that they may not have to cross all France. These sailors will be re placed by conscripts, and soon after, under pretext of insufficiency, the vessels which the fresh equipages will no longer be able to manage, will first be put on the roads and afterwards disarmed. These precautions show the intentions of the Government, which, at all ,events, were foreseen. A fact also worthy of remark is the neglect of filling up the number of young officers. From Madrid there is no news of a later date The Post, which, no longer ago than last Thursday, talked of settling the affairs of Spain by marrying the young QUEEN to either one of three Princes, including a Prince of the House of Coburg, used the following language yesterday :—" THE WRETCHED CHILDREN OF QUEEN CHRISTINA, SHOULD THEY BE SPARED THE SILENT INROADS OF POISON, OR MORE SUD- DEN DEATH, AMIDST THE MURDEROUS CON- FLICTS OFCONTENDING FACTIONS-ARE MERE PUP.. PETS, THE TAINTED OFFSPRING OF AN ABAN DONED WOMAN." What a lofty idea of Royal feeling and Royal moral dignity must this Tory writer, who has undoubtedly been admitted at Court, entertain'' He proposes to marry one of three Princes to one of " the wretched chil dren of Queen CHRISTINA"--" the tainted off spring of an abandoned woman," and hesupposes that either of these Princes would, for the sake of a Crown, take up with that kind of woman which a man of ordinarily decent feeling would shun with the utmost care. What respectable man would like to unite himself with the tainted offspring of an abandoned woman ? Three Princes, according to the Post, would be competitors for the disgraceful alliance. Such a sentence, in a preux Ministerial Journal, gives the people more insight into the corrupted feelings, and corrupted manners of Courts, than a whole volume of scandal. than the 25th ult. The address of the National Guards of the capital to the young QUEEN, with her MAJESTY'S answer, will be found in another part of The Sun. In the same cUlumn will be found some interesting gossip from the Spanish frontier, to which we direct attention. The Annual Session of the Council General of the Seine was closed on Friday. During the discussion on the door and window-tax and the patent-tax, the ques tion of the census was brought on the tapis. The Council recognised the legality of the measure, but at the same time recommended that the census should be taken ac cording to the ancient mode and the last instructions given by the Minister of Finance. The following is an extract from the recommendation addressed by the mem bers to the Prefect:—" The Council-General persists in its repeated desire that lean cattle should be ad mitted into France duty free—that the duties levied at the frontiers on all other cattle should be regulated by weight, and not by number—and that an uniform duty should be fixed whereby the burthen of such imposts would be greatly lessened. The Council also expresses a wish that the Government should seriously inquire whether there cannot be adopted an uniform and moderate rate of postage for all letters throughout the continental territories of the kingdom—that there should be a reduction of the charge of all letters between soldiers in actual service and their families, and particu larly for those who are in Africa—that the delay of twelve hours, so injurious to commeree, for all depart mental and foreign letters passing through Paris, should be abridged ; and lastly that the charge on all money letters, or at least those containing small sums, should be reduced. We have received the following from Amsterdam, of 28th ult. :—" Yesterday the definitive refusal of the King, as Grand Duke of Luxembourg, to ratify the treaty be tween Luxembourg and the German Customs Union, was officially communicated to the Prussian Minister at this Court. This event has created a great sensation in the diplomatic corps, as it was known that the King had re ceived from Berlin an energetic note on the subject of his refusal to ratify the treaty, and that Austria and England had also expressed apprehensions as to the con sequences likely to result from it. The Belgian and Dutch Commissioners who are now at Antwerp to settle that part of the treaty of peace between the two countries which regards the use and navigation of the Scheldt, have agreed on a very important point, which has been the subject of negotiations for two years, viz., the fishery on the eastern Scheldt. Belgium, in return for some equivalent concessions on the part of Holland, re linquishes all claim to it. At the same time, this delicate-minded writer is one of those persons whose claims on the respect and obedience of other men are much more vast than his genius. He is also a politi cian of great eminence in his own conceit, and has a plan to " settle definitively the affairs of Spain by a Congress of the Great Powers" Does such a proposition emanate from the Mi nistry ?I t s lo i u t t intended as a feeler ?

The corrupt and worthless intriguers ofteCourtisool-f Paris and Mad rid, aid ed by some cut-throat di er s, who, when they stir up war inst ea d of put ting it down, are a disgrace to human nature, have completely failed in their endeavour s to change the Government of Spain into the tool of their base purposes. At this motnentan E ng _ lish writer, but a true Tory, proposes that E s _ PARTERO shall be deprived of the advantages of success, and that a Congress of the Great Powers, hi which England is to take the lead, shall do that, or something like that, for Louis PHI LIPPE and the " abandoned woman" which they have failed to accomplish for themselves by their scandalous attempts at provoking rebellion. The Spaniards are not, according to the Tory writer, to settle their affairs in their own way, but it is proposed that There shall " assemble immediately a Cbngress of the great Powers, to settle definitively the affairs of Spain. Austria, Russia, and Prussia, who have ceased all di plomatic iutemurse .with _that wretched land, easily-in= VVe find the following proclamation of the King 'of Prussia in the German Journal of Frankfurt ; it is dated Nolbnietz, Sept. 6:—" We Frederick William, &c., have appropriated to the endowment of a Protestant bishopric to be established at Jerusalem, with the concurrence of England, the sum of 15,0001 . sterling, the interest of which, viz., 6001. sterling, forming the half of the salary of the Bishop, we will pay beforehand. This sum is to be re mitted to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishop of London. as trustees of this episcopal see. If at a subsequent period this capital can be invested in the purchase of lands in Palestine, but with our consent, the capital shall be paid up to the before-mentioned trustees. This sum of 15,0001., shall be mentioned in the act of endowment, but if the lands purchased in Palestine yield a revenue equal to an interest of more than four per cent., the surplus shall be given, not to the Bishop, but to b devoted to the funds of the bishopric. " FREDERICK WILLIAM." Two infamous outrages were committed almost simul taneously a few evenings ago. About ten o'clock a young couturiere, returning from her work along the Rue du Faubourg St. lionore, was stopped by two men, one of whom drew from 'his pocket a small bottle, uncorked it, and threw the contents in her face, which in stantly became dreadfully burnt. One of her eyes was totally destroyed, and the other so much injured that there is little hopes of its sight being saved. In other respects - the poor girl is frightfully disfigured. The 'mem. attempted to run away, but one of them, named Lebran, Was followed by some persons who were passing, and saw the cruel act, and secured.

On Saturday evening, two men made . their way, by means of false keys, into an apartment in the rue Monsieur-le-Prince, believing its inhabitants to be ab sent ; but they had hardly entered when the door was shut to with a loud noise, and they found the occupant, a gentleman of courage, standing by them with a sabre. He kept the rogues at bay till he called in the neigh bours, with whose assistance he seized and bound his unwelcome visitors. They were soon after safely lodged at the Prefecture, with the tools by means of which they hoped to have done a profitable job. The body of the man who threw himself off the Co lumn of the Place de la Bastille, a few days ago, has been recognised at the Morgue by his friends ; but his name has not been allowed to transpire. He was a Frenchman of respectable family. The Moniteur Parisien states that at a sale on Satur day, at the Hotel des Commissaires-Priseurs of the for feited pledges, from the Mont-de-Piete ; he saw a five franc piece put up and sold for 4f. 70c. ! This pledge had been in pawn 15 months, and the Moniteur naturally asks, who could have been the madman who deposited a five-franc piece to receive only three fifths of its value ? The German journals state that an engineer of Vienna, named Klein, has invented a method of preventing sparks and ashes from the fires of the locomotive engines of railroads from falling on the passengers in open wag gons, without, however, diminishing the current of air necessary for the fire. The experiments made on the Vienna railway have been so satisfactory that it has been resolved to adopt his apparatus, and to-burn wood instead of coke. M. Klein has taken out a patent for his discovery. A letter from Strasburgh, in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that the Treaty of Commerce between France and Holland is beginning to bear fruits. A great deal of cotton had arrived by the Upper Rhine, and within a few weeks about 3,000 bales have been imported into Stras- burgh. The Armoricain of Brest says that the Belle Poule fri gate is shortly expected in that port. A letter from Mostaganem of the 16th ult., in the Constitutionnel, states that while the expeditionary column was in the flat country, the town of Mascara was twice attacked by Bou liameidi, the Lieutenant of Abdel Bader, who tried to take it by assault, but was repulsed with loss. The regular battalions of the Emir's troops suffered the most in these attacks. General O'Donnell has arrived in Paris. The Gironde states that the three millions of francs,. said to be sent by Queen Christina to the insurgents in Spain, never reached its destination. "The money was stolen," says this Journal, " and the incident occurring during, a serious political conflict, is characteristic of our epoch." The Temps kas a report to the same effect. Letters from St. Sebastian of the 26th October, say that the persons taken at sea by the National Guard of the city, while they were endeavouring to reach the coast of France, were eighteen in number. Among them are the Marquis of Santa Cruz; the Count de Corres, the Marquis of Valmediano, the Marchioness of Santa Cruz, late governess to Queen Isabella, the Countess de Corres, And Don Manuel Larrondobuno, member of the foral deputation of Guipuscoa. . They are all to be tried by the Military Commission at St. Sebastian. It is affirmed that General Rizo has been shot at Bilbao, when Espartero's troops entered. There are also reports of the execution of General La:Hera, and his two Aides-de- Camp at Santander.—Gazettc de France. A report is spread at Paris that the Regent Espartero had granted an amnesty, or was on the point of granting one. The Ministerial papers make no mention of this news, of which the Ministry was said to have received notice. A letter which we have received from Bayonne, dated the 20th October says:—" The Christino officers who have taken refuge at Bayonne, live in abundance; it is asserted, that three millions have arrived here which have been distributed among them and the soldiers who followed them. The attention whichlis shown them, gives credit among the public, to the absurd report which they circulated of a French intervention in Spain. Isf. Duchatel, our prefect, who arrived at Bayonne the day before yesterday, has changed the itinerary of the Christino general officers. Instead of going to Pau the• go to Bordeaux. The Memorial des Pyrenees says : ." The Governmei we are assured, has given orders for several regiments, garrisoned in the south, to march to the frontier of the Pyrenees. Part of these troops are already on their march.

Thai fresh supplies of Grain were very short, the weather being dry, and our buyers showed less inclina tion to purchase. The prices of all kinds of Corn were as stated on Monday, with little doing. The demand for Flour has slackened in consequence of the advance in price. SUMMARY OF NEWS', VI ttblic 14; ptnton. " Who runs may read." On the 26th ult., General Rodil issued a Proclama tion dated from San Sebastian, in which he offered a free pardon to all insurgents who would claim it within twelve days, except the abettors of the rebellion at Pampeluna, Vittoria, and Bilbao, who are to be shot without mercy. All deserters are likewise to be shot, as well as the encouragers of desertion, and the spread ers abroad of idle rumours to the prejudice of the Go vernment. As Rodil is a man of blood, the exceptional articles in his proclamation will doubtless be executed in all their relentless integrity. The. Regent Espartero, has addressed a proclamation to the army of the North, invoking their co-operation in crushing the rebellion, and adding that he has the fullest confidence in their loyalty and devotion to the person of their old General and companion in arms. Generals O'Donnell and Urbistondo are reduced to in digence by their late insurrectionary attempts in Spain. ‘Vill,Christina Munoz requite them for their losses in her service ? _ _ In a letter from Bayonne, of the 2,9 th ult., we find the following statement:—" The total number of refugees who have, up to the latest date, entered France since the breaking out of the counter-revolution, may be esti mated,. including officers of every rank, at about ..4,000 persons. More, than. 1,500 entered by St. Jean- Pied-de-Port and Sarre, and nearly 2,500 entered by various other points,, , The disposition of this body is thus arranged :--,--(rDonnell, .Ortigosa, Urbistondo, and the General staff, are stationed at Pau ; the other officers, of superior rank, are quartered in two or three villages in the_immediate neighbourhood of that town ; the captains and subalterns remain, .some at Condom, and others at Dax, whilst the great body of the men are quartered at the two last-mentioned places. Such a dis posal..of. a force so lately in rebellion in their own coun try looks as if the French Government really intended that it should form a sort of advanced guard, to be ready at a moment's notice to re-enter Spain.' "We have heard it whispered that Louis Philippe is resolved upon making a nother revolutionary attempt in Spain, and that he awaits but some Republican movement in Cadiz, Barce lona, or Malaga, to declare himself." The following from the Memorial of Pau would indi cate that General Zurbano, though a stern, bloodthirsty officer, has some sense of humour:—" Zurbano, on read ing in the Patriota that his head was put at the price of 100,000 reals, replied that the head of the President of the Government (Montes de Oca) was worth no more than a haunch of venison and a bottle of wine, which was all he would give to those who might get hold of him." General Leopold O'Donnell has arrived in Paris. Ii would be curious to witness his first interview with Ma• dame Munoz. The Tuulonnais has an article to the effect that a dis, armament of the French naval force has been resolved upon. It appears, however, that the discharged crews will be replaced by conscripts, so that an additional naval force will be created. The French Journals of Monday occupy their leading columns with the insurrectionary conspiracy at Brussels, which appears from all accounts to have been a most wretched affair.

PRESENT STATE OF THE ARREARS IN THE Comoro r LAW COURTS.-Yesterday Michaelmas Term commenced, and the following .is a correct statement of the arrears in the several Common. Law Courts. In the Queen's Bench th ere are 85 mot i ons f or new t r i a l s on cases already t r i e d, an d a li st o f 54 i n w h a t i s t erme d " The speci a l p aper, " consisting of demurrers to plead ings, special c ases an d verd i cts f or t h e o pi n ion of the Court on points of l aw . The first new trial was moved for so long ago as Easter Term, 1840, which commenced in April of that year. The list will be considerably in creased by the number of motions to be made in the pre sent Term, arising from trials during the. late Circuit, many of which are of a heavy nature, especially from the Northern Circuit, on which a great deal of business i 3 always transacted. In the Court of Common Pleas there are but 39 new trials, but the first of which was obtained in Easter Term, 1840. There are only 14 causes in the demurrer list of 'the same Court. In the Exchequer list of rules for new trials standiug for argu ment, there are only six, and eight in the special paper. Besides the arrears in the Court of Queen's Bench, above mentioned, that Court has a list called the peremptory paper, being rules standing over for argument, and in which all causes for debts under 2C/., tried before the Sheriff, and in which applications aro made for new trials are entered. The Courts, under a statute called Lord Denman's Act, are empowered to determine motions for new trials, &c., duri ng t h e vacat i on , and under that Act the arrears have be en cons i dera bl y re d uc ed, The Observer of Sunday and Monday next, Nov. 7 and 8, will contain an accurate :engraving of the Fire in the Tower, with copious particulars of the cala mity. The Observer of Sunday last (31st October) gave in their whole large impression the correct particulars and progress of the fire at on e, three, and four o'clock. A Monday afternoOn 'Edi t i on o f the Observer is regu larly published at IG9, Strand, at foul. o'clock, which Edition is Tioforabloy foe country' and - folakii-stibsoribers. PUBLIC OPINION. The Herald, alluding to the singular case of the bank rupt, Cave, remarks as follows:—" The facts disclosed in a remarkable case of bankruptcy, reported in yester day's Herald, cannot fail to be suggestive, to thinking minds, of painful reflections, too characteristic, we fear, of the age in which we live. The case to which we refer is that of an individual named Cave, the failure of whose mining speculations has involved several Members of Parliament, and men of title, and clergymen, in ruinous losses. This person lived in society, inhabited a house in one of the fashionable squares, handsomely furnished and crowded with valuable paintings, and without flaming advertisements or seductive prospectuses, but on the strength of apparent respectability, and on the offer of a high rate of interest, had actually thrust on hiin, by men of fortune, 360,0001. for investment in mining specu lations of which they were in utter ignorance, and which never realised one farthing, although lie paid to these eager lenders no less a sum than 60,000/...1* interest, in three or four years, out of their own subscriptions! It is melancholy, we may add, to know that an excessive love of gain was the cause of such infatua tion, and that clergymen of the''Established Church so -far forgot the sacred duties of 'their holy calling as to be led away by this unlawful desire of lucre."— Respectability has an irresistible charm in the "eyi s of all conventional people, as we see in the remarkable case above narrated. It is the " Open Sessame" to their houses, and not seldom to their purses. Thurtell once defined respectability as the keeping of a gig ; we here find it is the living in a fashionable square, giving good dinners, and lining your halls with paintings. Had Mr. Cave resided in an obscure quarter of the town ; eschewed dinner-giving ; and walked about in a coat far advanced in the autumn of its life, his mining projects, however judiciously planned, would have been sure to fail, from his apparent want of respectability. It is this factitious admiration of conventional respectability—this hungering and thirsting for its show rather than its ' reality—that is the curse of modern society, confounding all the distinctions between the true and the false, and substituting the shadow for the substance. Th e Post says :—" That the British nation is essen-; tially Conservative was proved in a manner the most conclusive and satisfactory by the result of the late gene ral election, when a constituency creat e d by th e W s hig- Radical Reform Bill, for the undisguised purpose of secu ring to the Whig-Radical party a perpetual majority in the House of Commons, sent to that assembly a decided majority of Conservative members."—The late election did not prove that the British nation is essentiallY.Tory— we repudiate the sneaking, cowardly aluss of Conserva tive ; it proved only that the Tories had longer purses, and spent more money in bribery than their opponents. The late Alnwick demonstration in favOur of Lord Howick, seems to have given exceeding uneasiness to the Times, which it vents in the following manner :—" It appears that Lord Howick refuses his valuable confidence to the Conservative Ministry. This is distressing in its own way. Pray, shall we encounter the additional calamity of enduring the whole weight of his Lordship's opposition--Mr. Charles Wood included ? No such thing; a gleam of hope breaks through this threaten ing cloud to cheer Sir Robert Peel, for Lord Howick subsequently declares that he ' does not wish at pre sent the dismissal of the existing Ministry,' but will punctually give directions for overthrowing them as soon as the fitting moment shall arrive, when his Lordship will do his best to supplant them with minds of a high order. Altogether this Alnwick demon stration has been even more discreditable to Lord Howick than his memorable waspishness at the declaration of the Northumberland poll. The creature seems to be lite rally bursting with a mingled inflation of rage and vanity—the foibles, we suppose, of minds of a high order."—The indignation of the Times is the best pos sible testimony that can be borne to Lord Howick's sin cerity in the cause of Reform. So long as he is thus ob noxious to the Tories, we shall rely on his efficiency as a judicious and liberal statesman. Were- he Otherwise, they would not think it worth their while to notice him. As a mere party-man his Lordship maybe at times somewhat refractory, but as a Reformer on an enlightened scale,— who really wishes to further the progress of judi cious measures of improvement, we believe. him to be as conscientious and as zealous as any statesman of the day. Speaking of Earl De Grey's Irish Administration, the Chronicle observes:—" Lord De Grey is rather unfortu nate in his endeavours to pass for a no-party-man; ft?r it appears that noparty as yet believes him. Those on the popular side are naturally mistrustful, seeing the Noble Earl's actions so widely at variance with his professions. If he were sincerely desirous, they say, to suppress a party spirit in Ireland, he would not select the most noted partisans in the whole country to fill all the posts of confidence and honour under his Government, and carry his real purposes into effect. On the other hand, 'tis clear that the unyielding Orange factionists do not trust the Noble Lord's own report against himself ;' otherwise, they would not be still so full of flattery and admiration. Quite willing are they that both he and Lord Eliot should talk liberality by the ell Flemish; but it would be an other affair it' they saw 4nything like an approach to ho nest or impartial dealing in the administration of the pa tronage vested in the Government."—There is an evi dent leaning towards Orangeism in the present Irish Government, but it could scarcely have been otherwise, considering with whom the appointment of the Viceroy rested. Sir Robert Peel is not the man to recommend the practice of a liberal policy—at least so liberal as to be really useful—in Ireland. He is yet too much hampered by, stands too much in awe of, the Orangemen. Ireland need expect nothing more from him than the empty show of justice, the solid substance must be conceded by a Minister of a far different calibre. After alluding to the present distressed state of the country, the Cambridge Advertiser goes on to observe:— " In this melancholy state of society, when thousands of human creatures are starving from want of employment, we should have expected that those who are placed at the,,liead .of the ailuire of the country, would haVe.been employed in devising —nay, would have been actually prepared with, measures for bettering the condi tiou, of the people. They cannot help being acquainted .with the state of the raion—they know well that; misery exists to the extent which we have desc►ibed.. And yet they contemplate with the calmest indifference all this accumulation of human wretchedness." The Plot, speaking of Mr. O'Connell's election to the Dublin Mayoralty, says :—" We do not condescend .to allude - to it as a triumph over nfallen party. It is wound up with a cause based upon sentiments too nob!e and philanthropic to permit us to do so ; but we appeal to it to draw the Attention of th'e . people to the onward pro gress they have 'made, and to tell - them to point to it whenever they are told that any thing pelitically just is impracticable—Daniel O'Connell Lord Mayor of Dub lin ! • ,It requires but a brief experience to feel that the change is a signal one." The Brighton Guardian remarks, in allusion to MiLeod's, trial :—" The trial will on the whole hare beneficial results. It was conducted from first to last with great decorum and gravity. There is in the pro ceedings a greater latitude allowed to. witnesses than we allow, and much is given in evidence . which would not have been received in an English Court ; but with that exceptionand we do not think it a disadvantageous one to the American Court--we see nothing in the whole of the proceedingsof which our owe highest tribunal might not be justly proud." ii.G7RICULTUE.A.L. An Essex paper states, " it is much to be feared that the breadth of wheat next year will be much circum scribed, .in consequence of the wetness of the present season, which xemhas . .the_sowing a matter of very great difficulty and uncertainty. Another evil, from Ole save cause, is the innumerable increase 'of slugs, which will make' dreadful havoc with the blade." A Namur journal observes, that the unusual quantity of rain fallen during the present month, has caused so great a number of snails as to create considerable fears for the barleys. ECCLESIASTXCAL. In the Arches' Con: t yesterday articles were exhibited, at the instance of the Bishop of Oxford, against the Rev. W. H. Langley, perpetual curate of Wheatley, for " brawling in the Church." On the 9th of May last, it appeared after reading the Gloria Patri, the curate ad dressed the congregation, and among other expressions the.follOwing was objected to by the Bishop :—" `lhave been charged with adultery, but the fact is, that one night as I was coming from my tenant's at Lobb Farm, I saw a drunken man ill-treating his wife, and Linterfered for her protection, for my being a clergyman did not prevent my acting with humanity towards a female under such circumstances; the man told me I might be dammed, what was it to me, what had I to do with it ? lle then struck me, but the Lord gave me power, and I knocked the man- down,': at the same time using the action of striking with your fist, in illustration of the manner in which you struck the said man." And again "That you then adverted to her Majesty's Ministers, - and the proposed alteration in the Corn-laws, and de clared that the Ministers deserved prais:, for enabling every one to worship God according to their own con science, and for wishing to give to every man a cheap loaf ; that all who had rotes would soon be called upon to give them, and you urged them to give them in favour of the then Ministers, and added God bless the pre sent Government.' "—lt would be difficult to point out an act more praiseworthy than defending a helpless woman, or language more becoming a Minister of the Gospel than that embodying the latter charge. The articles, however, were admitted, and Mr. Langley was ordered to give an issue next Court day. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE. RAILWAYS. Paid. Per Share.

The Cornwall Chronicle states that the recent rains have been quite partial, many estates along the sea -coast to windward have suffered greatly on account of continued drought, u hilst estates in the interior of the same parish were more fortunate, on account of their locality, and are in a highly flourishing condition. A traveller informs us that from the Bay to Salt-marsh there is no exception to the suffering condition of sugar plantations; that is, to those near the sea. In Hanover and Westmorland they have had abundance of rain, and thecrops are prosperous. The Barbadoes papers state that the quantity of sugar shipped from the present crop is, hhds. 16,711, trs. 1,456, brls. 995. This shows the present year's crop to be within 195 hhds. of eighteen thousand. It is more than was expected when the crop commenced. Adding the quantity of sugar consumed in the Island, and the great consumption of the canes which have been sucked, we may say the crop has exceeded twenty thousand hogs heads. Much rain has fallen, particularly in St. Thomas. In town and the vicinity delightful showers have fallen this week ; the heat is still intense and oppressive. A Demerara paper .of the 13th states:—" We are sorry we cannot as yet announce any decided improvement in the commercial affairs of the country. Money continues scarce."

This excess is to be attributed partly, we think, to the increase of our population from immigration. The value of the exports for 1840 amounts to 436,199/. The total number of emigrants arrived from Ist January, 1840, to the 31st August amounts to 2,342. THE FUNDS.
