It cannot be too.often repeated that the country requires itnprovement in legislation, much more tl*ut a change in the Ministry. Undoubtedly the substitution of the Tories for the Whigs, now that the former have obtained a majority in the House of Commons, will bring the two Houses of Par , liament more into harmony, and enable Sir Ito- TLERT PEEL to pg.s -his measures; but that will be only an evil, should the measures, corre sponding to the principles on which his majority has been elected, go to sustain monopoly and extend the Church. He may constitute perhaps a strong Government, but if that be bent on mis chief, how will the country be benefited What can such a Government do? Were the laws now not enforced, were property insecure, had men no confidence in the future, were riot and rebellion rife in the land, were the ad ministration of -what is misnamed justice im peded, were our, commerce interrupted by oth er ' States, were the seas infested with pirates, or the roads with robbers, a strong Government to put down such enormities would be most beneficial ; but there never was a period when the laws were more steadily administered and enforced, and where property was more secure, and the f u t ure more certain. We maintain, then, that the strongest Goverament which can by any possi bility be formed, so far as protecting the property and lives of the people, by duly administering thelaws, and so far as protecting our subjects abroad go, cannot add one jot to the national prosperity, and is by no means the thing which is required. The only point on which we have seen it even 'surmised that the strong Government of the Tories would be of advantage is, that it would Put an end to Anti-Corn-law agitation, and to all *doubt, as to the continuance of the Corn-laws. Monopoly, it is supposed, would then be per fectly secure and the country would flourish. That is, however, a mistake. The complaint is that the monopoly has been secure too long, and that its existence is the cause of our distress. It is perfectly clear that increasing its security, by the strong Government of the Tories, would only add to the manufacturers' complaints. At the same time, no Government, however strong, can put an end to Anti-Corn-law agitation, or give to the landed interest a full sense of se curity. No human power can do either. The starving manufacturers must and will strug gle. The alarm of the landowners arises mainly from a consciousness of wrong, and they can no more be protected against that by any legisla tion than a thief can be relieved from his own fears. The apprehension and insecurity are the necessary and inevitable consequences of in justice, and no mortal power can annihilate them. Thus we maintain that a strong Executive Go vernment, as such, can confer no benefit what ever on the community. The distress, we say, arises from faulty legis• lation, and if' the strong GovernMent of the Tories can pass laws to amend that which the Whigs could not pass, it may conf er a b ene fit the country. In that sense a strong means a Legislature «filling Government to redress the griev ances of the people. But there is not, the. slightest reason to believe that the strong Go vernnaent of the Tories will be willing to perform so useful a work. On the contrary, the Tories are the authors of their grievances, the parents or supporters of Corn-laws, discriminating duties, restricted franchises, Church-rates, and of every other evil growing out 'of legislation of which the bulk of the people complain. They will constitute a strong Government and a united Legislature; only to prevent all and every the least of those grievances from being redressed. Having nothing to hope from the strong ,Go vernment of the Tories in executing the laws, we see, and so, we think, must every reflecting man, great cause for apprehension in their forming a united Legislature, to maintain all the accursed laws which are at present dire plagues to the people. If it be said that the Tories will redress the grievances of the people, will walk in the way of righteousness when they are in office, why, every man will ask, did they not do that in op position? Why did they not, as their opponents when in opposition continually did, bring for ward measures which they suppose will benefit the community? Ministers have not yet monopo lised—whatever the Tories in their ambition may contemplate—the initiative of all laws, like some Governments on the Continent ; it is yet open here for every independent Member of either House ofParliament to propose whatever measures he pleases. The Tories are as well aware of the state of the community as the Whigs, and the only measures which they have proposed, are Church Extension, restriction of the franchise in Ireland, and a law to settle disputed elections. The last was a useful measure, , and that passed— as if to show what the Tories could have done had they been disposed to effect any good for the people—without the smallest opposition. So far as benefiting the coinmunity by legis lation is concerned, the Tories have had just as much power to do that out of office as they will have in office. Why have they not done it? They declined or refused, because they were not Ministers. They thwarted their opponents in making laws, for the sake of thereby obtaining place and profit. They could, as Members of Parliament, elected to perform that duty, have amended or suggested new fiscal regu lations at any time, but they refused to perform the duty, because they were not also the QUEEN'S Ministers. They neglected their duty, to satisfy their ambition. They conspired to impede legislative improvement, the one thing needful, that they might usurp the Government. Those who seize the Government to gratify their own ambition, will use it to attain that end ; and for them the public good will be, as it has been, a very subordinate object. We know that it is rebellion to resist the law and treason to take arms against the QUEEN ; but we have yet to learn that it is rebellion to resist the Tories, or even, if necessary, to take arms against such a selfish, ambitious crew of mere place, and power, and pelf-seeking politicians. If the authority of the QUEEN be separated from that of the Ministers, the fault lies in those who force themselves into office by dark and crooked arts against her will, and certainly not with the concurrence of the majority of the people, though they are supported by the Monopolists. Know ing how the constituencies have been constrained, intimidated, and bribed] into 'electing a Tory majority, we cannot conceive that the com munity is under any moral obligation to submit to their dominion, or be guilty of treason against the QUEEN in order to sustain their usurpation. If such nice and important questions are now .stirred in the country, it is the consequence of strange conduct on the part of politicians. If we are compelled to make a distinction between the QUEEN and her future Ministers it is because, in fact, they will be creatures of a dishonest oli garchy, not the freely chosen depositaries of the power of the people. All the provincial Tory papers we see quote the leaders of the Times on the probable policy of the Conservatives as quite conclusive as to what Sir R. PEEL will do. They repeat the recommendations of our Contemporary, and raise an expectation that Sir ROBERT'S policy will correspond to the articles of the Times. There is good reason, however, to believe that the Times is not the organ of Sir ROBERT, and that the policy it has sketched out has no other authority than its own wishes and principles. That the Times is not authorised to speak for him is plain, from , the fact that it has advocated the election of a Tory Speaker, while it is almost officially announced that Sir R. PEEL will not oppose the re-election of Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE. In its columns yesterday it also unwittingly complimented the Whigs, as it followed out its own principles, and condemned the Tories. It advocated self-government, and censured all endeavours to absorb and concentrate in the hands of Ministers the various and widely' dis tributed elements of administrative power. Our Contemporary said : For every Board of Commissioners which they have created, so much power has been taken out of the hands of the people, and so much actual liberty, and still more, security for liberty, has been lost. By the New Poor law they have drained off the streams and fountains of a vast system of self-government which circulated through out the nation, into a small number of main dikes and ditches, terminating in the one everlasting and insatiable reservoir—themselves. The Rural Police Act is another offspring of this un-English and anti-popular spirit ; and we cannot help referring to the same principle Lord John Russell's arbitrary attempt to make the self assertion of privilege by the House of Commons para mount to law. We know of no Commission which has taken any administrative power out of the hands of the people except one, the Poor-law Commission, and of that the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL were strenuous advocates. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in particular, with his military spirit, approved of it as the only means of correct ing the abuses of the Poor-laws, and took pains, by recommending the keeping of records, to make it complete. The other Commissions, such as the FactOry CoMmission, were constituted to carry new laws into execution or merely to in quire, and took no liberties whatever from the people. They were intended, whether success fully or not, to protect factory children and guard them from many injuries. The new P oor -l aw , w ith w hi c h t h e Ti mes fi n d s most fault, is especially supported by the squires, who constitute Sir R. PEEL'S majority. It was exclusively a landlords' vrae e t a s h e u i r r e , e p s a t a s t s e e s d . b ysit Sir R em . e R m . PEEL approved of it throughout, and moreover, as the leader of a party, heist . hei H r e is re o a w tu n re,and must do their biddi ng or retire predi lections are for manufactures, of the value of which he has shown himself sensible • but he is squires.nes also T he condemns, Rural P v ic Police rea dy to sacrifice th em in order ' to remain t T A th e e t, l leader the e of the passed for their advantage, and is only an extension of Sir ROBER T ... EEL'S Metro politan Police. Most of the squires, too, in con- Sir R. PEEL, support e d junction with Lord JOHN w hen he vindicated th e RUSSELL privileges of the House of Commons, greatly to the annoyance the measures whi c h of the Times. Al l the T imes now condemns are notoriously based on Tory principles, and were carried by the support of the Tories, and on every one of them the Times is at present in opposition to its own party. The principle of local b oy self-re ernment, of which the Times is enamoured, is a Whig principle, which the Tories have always opposed to the utmost of their power. The Whigs, for example, proposed to give popular and local government to the large towns, and proposed that they should elect their own Magistrates, while the Tories in sisted on keeping the appointment of the Magis trates in the hands of the Crown. Both Ireland and Scotland are deeply indebted to the Whigs for carrying out, in their municipal and burgh reforms, the principle of local government to the utmost extent which the Tories would allow ; and if England be not so much indebted to them, it is only because they merely renovated here the beneficial system which they there, for the first time, established. Our Contemporary did not wean it, but his observations render a pro found homage to the principles of the Whigs, and repudiate those of the paity to which he belongs. _ _ No; is our Contemporary, in using such lan guage, even consistent with himself? He wishes to see power locally and administratively dis tributed amongst the people—so do all Liberals. He argues against an executive despotism, against which the Whigs contend. At the same time he is steadfastly opposed- to en trusting the Catholics of Ireland with local and administrative power, and over them he would establish the executive despotism of Protestant England. But principles of government have nothing to do with principles of religion, and those which are proper for Calvinists, are equally pro per for IVlahomedans or Hindoos. The religion of people, whether Catholics or Protestants, no mare renders them indifferent to good or had go vernment than to pleasure and pain, and should not be taken into consideration. At the same time, of all religionists the Catholics of . our country, after the Pagans, if there be any, seem to have the strongest claim on the benefits of our ancient insti tutions. The freedom of our Saxon ancestors, the basis of our best laws, as contrasted with laws which all Europe adopted or borrowed from im perial Rome, was the offspring of heathenism, and was in no wise indebted to Christianity for its origin. If it were polished it was also en feebled by our Christian, though Roman Catholic, ancestors. Nor weke our franchises considerably enlarged, or our municipal privileges much ex tended, except during the Commonwealth (though some. alarming specimens of feudal , tyranny died out), at any period subsequent to the Reformation. If any persons now existing amongst us may, on account of their religion, claim a right to have our institutions restored on their ancient foundations, those persons are the Catholics; but to them the Times denies the jus tice it demands for others, and would establish over the Catholics of Ireland the executive des potism of England. Our Contemporary boasts, too, of the " connec tion now existing in England between Church and State," as having "made the ramifications of self-government among the people flow in the same local channels, and observe the same boundaries, with our ecclesiastical institutions." Our parishes, to which our Contemporary al ludes, were, in fact, Roman Catholic contri vances. They were intended to serve the pur poses of the Church more than the State;. but with singular ingratitude the Times, while it ap plauds the contrivance, would deprive the direct heirs of the founders of its benefits. Adopting that line of argument the Times takes the Tory side, and is inconsistent with itself; praising local and self-government, it takes the Whig side, and quarrels with its pre sent patrons. A journal which is zealous for Whig doctrines in one sentence and zealous for Tory doctrines in the next, cannot, however, be looked on as an authority for any line of policy, or for any party; and we should not have noticed its contradictory vagaries at much length, were we not somewhat desirous of undeceiving our distant brethren who quotejthe leaders of the Times, as a sure indication of the future policy of PEEL. Every rainy day fills the community with alarm. The people tremble for the harvest, and a few fine or foul days will now make a difference of millions to the / wealth of the country, and of life or death to many poor persons. The corn markets, so far as sales are effected, are rising rapidly. The Averages published to-day show a rise of 4s, Id. since last week ; and as the average of the six weeks, 655. 2d., i s below the average of the week, 68s. 3d. the average of the six weeks will be higher next week,even should very fine weatherprevent a fur_ ther rise in the markets. The duty recorded to-day is 21s. Bd. Last week it was 225. Bd.; and it will now, we hope, for the sake of the people, rapidly decline; The postponement of the har vest by the ungenial weather has compelled the dealers to have recourse to foreign countries to eke out our supply, and the great object at pre sent must be to bring that quantity into con sumption from. abroad without paying any duty. The people will suffer from high prices, and no thing will be contributed to the revenue. There is not much news of any interest in the Paris Journals .of Tuesday. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the projected aug mentation of the import duties in the United States, which our Parisian Contemporary regards as calculated to inflict considerable injury on French commerce. The following is an analysis of the article in the Debuts, which will interest our commercial readers : The Debuts begins by stating that the United States receive annually French produce and manufactures to the amount of 120 to 130,000,000 fr., of which on an average 50 millions are in silks, 12 millions in wines and brandies, 8 or 10 millions in cambrics, lawns, and linens, and 20 to 25 millions in furniture and other articles of taste. of Parisian manufacture. Immediately afterwards, however, the Debuts informs us that the imports of French merchandise into the United States, in 1839, amounted to 175 millions of francs, of which the amount duty free was 115 millions, and that which paid duty 70 millions, this duty, however, not exceeding upon about a quarter or a third of the amount 5, 10, or 15 per cent. upon the estimated value. Accustomed as we are to errors in the French journals where figures are concerned, we must confess that in a statistical article, and in a paper which is generally got up as to its original articles with so much care, they create some surprise. The Debats does not explain why the imports ofFrench produce and manufactures into the United States are estimated here at 120 or 130 millions annually, whilst the official returns in America, for 1839, state them at 175 millions ; and as the division of this sum, according to the Debate, makes, when added together 185, and not 175 millions, we are unable to say whether the amount of imports is the larger or the smaller sum. Errors of this nature are of little- importance in. themselves, but they sometimes affect the reasoning of an article, and they are calculated to create an impression that it was written in haste, which should never be the case where statistics are con cerned. The Debuts then goes on to observe, that if the projected duty of 20 per cent. upon imports should be enforced, two-thirds of the whole amount of French goods imported into the United States will be subject to an augmentation of duty, which would affect the demand the more, as the articles exported to that country are chiefly objects of luxury rather than necessity, and are, therefore, less likely to meet with a sale at an increased price. The-United States, says the Debuts, are entering upon an unwise course, and it reminds the Government of that country, that the - prosperity of a nation, and its public credit, do not consist in its Customs' re venues. This is a truism which few good political economists will, per haps, be inclined to dispute, and it would be well if it were more adopted by different Governments. The Debats, however, declares that France has set an example of commercial liberality to the United States in the treaty of 1822, and that if she permitted the Americans to have the carrying trade of the cottons, which she imports, it was probably because in return they received the greater part of French goods into their own country duty free, and levied very moderate duties upon the rest. The Debate concludes by expressing a hope that the United States, in the interest of their relations with Europe, and particularly with France, will not hesitate to reject the new fiscal measure which is proposed, and calls upon the representatives of French interests to protest with energy against a project, which, if realised, would, it says, vitiate the principle of the treaties between France and the United States, and be a retrograde step in a comrcercial policy which has hitherto been liberal and enlightened. " The man," says - the Journal du Loiret, " who car ried away the two young girls from Orleans, a few days ago, has been taken and recognised, but no traces of the children. have been discovered as yet, and there is every reason to fear that their brutal raptor has murdered them. after having treated them in a manner most outraging to humanity. On the 29th ult. the villain was seen and arrested at Jargeau, about four leagues from Orleans, and brought into that town amidst the execra tions of the people, who ,at length became so violent, that a considerable armed force could with difficulty save him from being torn to pieces. His name is Serein, he is about fifty years of age, and in easy circumstances, having a tobacconist's .; bUreau at Ferolles, near Jargeau. He - ,h7ts preserved the most dogged silence as to the treatment and fate of his innocent victims, but the bottom of his cart has evidently been stained with blood, though endeavours have been made to wash it out. Similar marks are alsO perceptible on his clothes. He has been taken back to Jargeau, with the cart, in order to collect the testimony of those .who may have seen t.ehEePxr.:m.rociTnurihneegurAforlladgiouw.stinßraogte4 Magistrate. s t been him in the i n t erva l b etween the carry i ng o ff t h e c hild re n p n d tbu ry t h e o an e d ne h ra is l, ca a given us as the results of this excursion. lle was ac companiedcr e o u m r mune by the way h e w‘-as recognised, and received with in en e Pr ve ee ry u in dignation. He, however, continued to protest his innocence till he came within sight of his own village, when, over come with shame and compunction, he made a partial confession, which the Magistrate took down in the cart itself. Serein admitted that he had taken away the children, and declared that he had left them in certain 4 EVENTING SUN. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAf, AUGUST 5, 1841. - fields, but had not murdered them. The cart was driven to the spot indicated by him, where spots•of blood were to be seen, but no other . traces of the object.; of search could be found. Ferolles was the next point. Here his house was minutely inspected, and in it was filiscovered one shoe of the eldest of the missing girls, her comb, and a red ribbon she wore, all of them spotted with blood. No further traces have yet been met 'with." —" A short time ago," says the Constitutionnel, " Count Arrivabene and M. Bianchi, of Milan, two young men of 18 to 20 years of age, being at Nice, and wishing to make a trip to • France, but not having pass ports,Amgaged two-men" to ferry them over the river Var. When they were in 'the middle of the stream, these men plunged their passengers into the water, held them down until they thought they were drowned, then returned to Nice with the money and effects of their victims. Ono of the young men, being able to swim, gained the bank, where; he lay exhaust e d arid apparently dead, but was Ind on the following morning arid re stored. The news of this crime having reached the police, the authors of it were sought for, and one of them was apprehended in a public-houSe, where he was en deavouring to sell some of the stolen property. The other escaped into France, but is said to have been since lodged in prison, on the application of the Sardinian authorities." We are requested to state that the gentleman upon whom the Pope has conferred the title of Count is not the Hon. James Talbot of Malahide, but Mr. James Talbot of the county of "Wexford, and brother to the late Member for Boss. Two men; named Mare and Ferry, who, as our readers may remember, murdered a man named Delahaye, at St. Yeast, in the Seine Infcrieure, aided by the wife and sister of the victim, to whom they were paramours, were executed at Rouen the day before yesterday, in pur suance of the sentence of the Court of Assize in May last. They died penitent. The two women, who had also been condemned to death, have had their penalties commuted into hard labour for life ; the wife of Dela haye being enceinte. Duclos, who was brought before the Court of Peers with Darmes and Boret as an accomplice in the attempt to shoot the King, but acquitted, made his appearance on Saturday before the Cour Royale, upon a double ap peal, one by himself, and another by the public prose cutor, against the judgment of the Correctional Tribunal, whereby he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and a fine of 300 fr., for having been found in possession of warlike ammunition, but acquitted of that part of the indictment which accused him of being a Communiste. The Court confirmed the sentence of conviction and punishment, but rescinding that of the acquittal, consi dering it to have been fully proved that the prisoner had belonged to an unlicensed association, and therefore ad judged him to pay a fine of 3,000 francs, in which the pre vious 300 franca is to merge. • Several objects of antiquity have just been disco vered at Lyons, whilst digging the foundations of a new building, on the hill of Fourvieres, the Forum vetus of the Romans. Amongst them are a complete set of jewels, which eighteen hundred years ago were the ornaments of some great Roman lady, viz., an emerald necklace, a ' pair of ear-rings, set with various precious stones, an other necklace, probably of amethysts, but much altered by time, a curious chain, at least two yards in length, sonic rings, upon one of which is engraved a proper name, in Latin, and the words devoted to Venus, three pairs of bracelets, several large and fine pearls, &c., &c. The gold of the bracelets and other articles, is so pure, that it was as bright as if it had just come from a jew eller's shop. " "The pediment of the . Chamber of Deputies," says the 2lioniteur, "is the fourth in rank as to size of all known structures of the same order. The greatest is that of the Madeleine, the inner dimensions of which .are 108 feet in length at the base, and twenty-four feet in height. The figure of Christ is seventeen feet in stature. Next follows the Pantheon of Paris, which measures 106 feet by 21. The third is the Pantheon at Rome which has 91 feet by 19. The measurement of that of the Chamber of Deputies is 90 feet by 16 feet, the figures being in the proportions of between 12 and 13 feet in height." Two days ago, a man, who was cleaning out a sewer in the Rue de Navarin, was nearly suffocated by the mephitic vapour. A courageous young man immediately went down with a rop e ti e d roun d him, and, in a few minutes returned with the other, who was almost dead, but medical assistance being at hand he was soon res t ore d. " The followingtragulal event," says the Constitu tionnel, " occurred a Short time ago at Florence. A negro in the service of Prinde Corsini, having amassed some money, received the consent of the parents of a young girl named Nunciata Goldoni to his marriage with her ; but us the girl was a fervent Catholic, and Za mor, the negro, a 31ahometan, every possible effect was made to bring about his conversion. These efforts, how ever, were fruitless, and the marriage ceremony was delayed. The father of the girl having invited the negro to dinner, he ate heartily, but rejected the wine when pressed to drink; upon which Nunciata said with a smile :—"rhere is no danger in drinking wine now, as you are no longer a Mahometan, for you have been eat ing pork.' Furious at the trick that had been practised, Zamor immediately stabbed the girl to the heart, and her parents having attempted to defend her, he also killed the father, and next attacked the mother and her son, whom he also killed. Two soldiers, having heard the cries of the victims, rushed to the spot, when Zamor snatched up a gun which was at hand, and shot one of them dead. The other soldier levelled his carbine and shot the negro, who died on the spot." -- We spoke yesterday of the acecident which had happened to his Majesty the King of Sardinia. A pri vate letter, which we have this moment received from Turin,. dated the 29th of July, announces that in fact his Majesty the King of Sardinia had had a fall from his horse, in his park of Raconis, but that this accident did not hinder him from mounting his horse again, and con tinuing his ride. The accounts are perfectly satisfac tory ; his Majesty scarcely feels any effects from his fall, and has not interrupted his usual occupations.

On several occasions M. de Mesnard has .been seen in attendance on Queen Christina. M. de Mesnard was formerly the attendant of the Queen's sister, the Duchess of Berry, and accompanied her in her expedition in La Vendee. A Parisian correspondent of the Prussian State Gazette says, " A reconciliation has lately taken place between Queen Christina and the Duchess of Berry; this is the reason that we have seen Count de Mesnard accompanying the Queen on her visit to some of the curiosities of Paris. ,The Duchess wrote to the Count an autograph letter, to induce him to do so."—Le Commerce.

It is in the following words : " Downing-street, July 31, 1841. " Sir—As, upon the meeting of Parliament, on Thurs day, the 19th of August, the House of Commons will immediately proceed to the choice of a Speaker, and to the consideration of business of the highest importance, I take the liberty of earnestly. requesting your attend ance on that day.—l have the hoLour to be, Sir, your obedient, faithful servant, " J. RUSSELL." NICK NAMES.—Some of our Tories call the present Ministry the. Deficit Miiiiitry, - and will of course be pre pared for us to call their friends the Monopoly Ministry, the Thieving-by-law Ministry, the Ministry for exe cuting the Devil's laws, the Anti-Social Ministry, the Anti-Trade Ministry, the Anti-Civilization Ministry, the Squirearchy Ministry, or the Starvation Ministry. At least, such is a sample of the epithets they well de serve, from the principles on which they , are coming into office ; and some one of those, or similar epithets, will be applied to them, according to the taste and fancy of different parties. Looking to the subtrfrges of Sir Robert Peel, the contemptible accusatiois of Lord Stanley, and believing that they will be powerless to give effect to their own detestable doctrines, we shall be in clined to call them—the Mean Ministry. ANOTHER TORY' LIES.;--All the Tory Jour nals have greedily copied from the Manchester Courier the falsehood, ofwhich the following letter, addressed to the Standard, is a correction :—" Temple, Aug. 4.—Sir,--- Your habitual truth and candour in your advocacy of political principles prevents the suspicion of any inten liana/deception in.your re-publication of a paragraph. headed " American Cheap Bread, from the Manchester Courier;—" Five pounds of bread sold in Philadelphia for a shilling!" and a comparison with the 61b. of bread sold in Manchester for 1u cu. ; by which you would make it seem that bread is mitcli cheaper in England than in Philadelphia. The shilling, however, in Philadelphia is not the sterling coin, but a coin of which there are eight in every dollar, each of them value about sixpence ster ling. Therefore 51b. bread is sold in Philadelphia for sixpence, whilst in Manchester 61b. is worth lOid. You will now perceive that bread of the first quality is much cheaper in Philadelphia than in Manchester. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant,—A TRAVELLER." STOCK OF GRAIN ON HAND ) etc.—The far mers, from the very fine weather we foi merly had, and the agitation of the corn question, thrashed out largely, and I coniider they will have none in six weeks : we shall, therefore, be dependent on the granaried stock, which is small. We have no free wheats, either foreign, Scotch, or English ; our stock consists only of 40,000 quarters of wheat in bond ; last year, at 2 d September, we had 150,000. W e may po ss ibly get other 20,000, which will make our stock 60,000—under half of what we had last rear. Our millers and bakers have none, and are daily buyers from the farmers.— Caledonian Mercury, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Optivion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Duke d'Amaule, fourth son of the King of the French, has returned to France from Africa, thoroughly disgusted with the cut-throat and incendiary system of warfare carried on between the soldiers of General Bu geaud and Abd-el-Kader. French Africa is a bad school for the education of such preux chevaliers as the Royal scions of the stock of Orleans, and we are therefore not surprised that Princes so honourably and virtuously nur tured, shrink from the very touch of such victorious bays as encircle the brows of a Bugeaud and a Clause]. A son of France would blush to conduct a razia. The late Municipal Council of Toulouse protested against the Royal Ordinance pronouncing its dissolution, and in mimic imitation of the first National Assembly voted its sittings to be permanent. It also refused to admit the new Mayor, Baron Lejeune, whose installation on the 31st was effected by force. The late Mayor, M. d'Arzac, has been arrested, and will most likely be sent to Paris. These Toulousians are such troublesome fel lows that the Government is likely to lose more than it will gain by quarrelling with them. Tne leven of insurrection has been discovered in the heart of the military garrisons at Paris. Several ar rests were reported to have taken place in consequence on Wednesday morning. The French soldiers have a trick of remembering, reciting, and construing literally certain orations made by the Citizen King immediately after the July revolution, which, to say the least of it, manifests a poor progress in the discipline of Courts. The execution of three criminals at Rome on the 20th ult. led to a tumult, in which 12 persons were killed and 200 wounded. The last of, the three dying wretches uttered furious imprecations against the spec tators, who thereupon were seized with a panic, and fled. They were attacked by thieves, and the result we have stated above. This is another of the bitter fruits of an adherence to the murderous and inhuman system of capital punishments. And then think of the horrible iniquity of extinguishing the life of a wretch while in the act of imprecating destruction upon his fellow creatures I Sending him with hatred in his heart and curses upon his tongue before the awful judgment-seat of God I It is awful. The Sultan and Mehemet Ali, as the Tamworth quack in days of yore said of the British nation and the national debt, are " quite in a family way ;" the Sultan having made an offer of the hand of one of his sisters to a son of the Viceroy. Such a mark of the Imperial favour often occasions the object of it many wry faces. The happy bridegroom of a Sultana cannot increase his harem without her permission ; cannot enter her apartments without leave ; must place no limits to her extravagance ; and wanting, in the discharge of any marital duty, must patiently endure the application of his lady's slipper to his mouth,•without so much as daring to look offended. Sultanas are privileged terma gants, and are usually bestowed upon Pachas of whom the Porte has some dread. The Sultan, if he pleases, may either destroy or mutilate their offspring. A letter from Constantinople of the 14th ult. repre sents the Candian insurrection as virtually suppressed, and denies that the Albanians were guilty of any ex cesses. If they have subdued the Candiotes we have little doubt that it will be discovered at Constantinople that they behaved like lambs. It was their gentle bleat ing that frightened the Candiotes into submission. Is Tahir Pacha, then, to sand no heads to Constantinople? Reschid Pacha, the ex-Turkish Premier, is to be sent as Ottoman Ambassador to Paris. We may hence infer that the Reform party is regaining its lost ground at the Porte. The English are in bad odour at Alexandria. This is because they keep too vigilant an eye upon the move ments of the Viceroy, whose intrigues are known to our Government. But for England, Mehemet Ali would quickly regain all the ground he lost in consequence of the Treaty of London. He is raising 20,000 Albanians, nominally to assist him in restoring the tranquillity of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, but in reality to re establish his authority over the portion of Arabia for merly subject to his arms. The Belgian exhibition of arts and manufactures was opened at Brussels on the Ist inst. All the authori ties were present assisting at the ceremony. M. Bartolot, formerly editor of the Courrier Belge,:has been fined 10,000 f. for a libel on the chief of the Medical Staff. The Marquis of Douglas, the Duchess of Hamil ton, and other very distinguished persons from Great Britain have arrived at Brussels. 1'1773743C OVID/101W. The Morning Post institutes an elaborate comparison between the state of the operatives in manufacturing towns and the labourers in agricultural districts, the object of which is to show that the landlords and farmers are, generally speaking, a less selfish and grasping class of men than the master-manufacturers. Our Contempo rary, though be insists warmly on this point, fails to es tablish it by argument. The Times, in an article written with some address on the case of Macleod, endeavours to embroil this coun try with the United States, by putting the worst con struction on the case, observing :—" As long as the American Government find that we may be trifled with with impunity, they are willing to gratify the passions of the populace by anticipations of the judicial murder of one of the Queen 'of England's officers. If by any fatal mischance that monstrous act should ever be con summated, the horror and disgust of the whole civilised world will fall as heavily on the statesmen by whom it was tolerated, as on the savages by whom it was com mitted." The Morning Advertiser refers in just terms of praise to the convocation of Ministers of the Gospel who are about shortly to assemble at Manchester, for the purpose of deliberating on the best means for pro curing the immediate and entire abolition of the corn monopoly. "These Rev. Gentlemen," says our Contemporary, "very properly • disclaim all political or party feeling in the enterprizes in which they have embarked. They have been induced to enter the arena against the corn monopolists, solely from considerations of benevolence and humanity." This Con • vocation speaks trumpet-tongued for the enlarged hu manity of those who have projected it. Never before were clergymen engaged in a juster or more righteous cause. It is an attempt at a practical enforcement of the favourite doctrine of our Saviour—Peace on earth, good will to men. " It is nothing new for the nobility or gentry of either party"—says the Herald, with reference to Lord F. Egerton's rumoured scheme of raising a body of ca valry—" to maintain bodies of cavalry to aid the civil force in those districts where experience has shown that such aid may be occasionally useful ; nor did any one ever suppose that such bodies were raised with an ulterior and sinister object. No sensible man would have sus pected the Whig Lord Yarborough, for instance, of meditating feudal oppression or compassing civil war, because he maintains a splendid corps of yeomanry in North Lincolnshire." Certainly not, for we have confidence in his Lordship's principles and know that he will never exert his influence to dis perse or cut down bodies of people assembled peaceably t ) discuss their 'grievances. But is this the case with the Tories? With the example of the Peterloo massacre before us, perpetrated by a troop of Tory yeomanry, we are fully justified in regarding with distrust the creation of another such troop, officered bYlnen who have always looked on public meetings with the eyes of fear and jealousy. The Chronicle observes—" We have received a let ter from Manchester, which gives a most alarming ac count of the state of things in that great capital of the manufacturing districts. You will hear (says our cor respondent) of meetings of the unemployed thousands soon—quiet at first, but who can answer for the results when angry and hungry thousands meet ? Now, Sir, you may believe me or not, bnt I must state my opinion, and that very plainly—nothing but commercial reform, including a great alteration in the Corn-laws, and that vet) , speedily too, can save this country I shudder while I write it, but ask nine men out of ten that you meet here, and the impression on their mind is, that there is something in the present distress so awful as to defy description, and therefore they fear the worst.'" And where is Sir Robert Peel's remedy for this state of things ? The Whigs have boldly and frankly proposed theirs but where is the great Tory leader's ? Day by day matters are getting worse—yet not one syllable about a remedy do we hear breathed by the Tories—not a word even that can give the people encouragement ! While thousands are starving, the faction is wasting its time in selfish exultations at the thought of approaching place and pay ! So Nero fiddled while Rome was burning !. The Ballot, according to the Cheltenham Exam finer has made prodigious progress lately. Men who have all their lives opposed secret voting—seeing at last the ne cessity of some measure of protection to the voter— have given in their adhesion to this un-English method of ensuring fair play. The undisguised manner in which Tory tyranny has been exercised throughout the king dom, and the extent to which that tyranny has produced the desired effect, have forced the conviction in number less instances, that the only method of preventing the constituencies being bound over hand and foot to the To ries, is a vigorou application of this radical remedy. The Cambridge Advertiser is of opinion that the country will not put up w:th the government of so tricky, shifty, weak, and solfish a Minister as Sir Robert Peel, and that no plausibility, however cunning, no deception, however powerful, can cajole the people of Ireland. No AdMinistration which numbers Stanley and Peel among its members will ever be tolerated by Ireland. The Worcestershire Chronicle regards the projected establishment of corps of yeomanry as a demonstration in support of the tax upon bread, a scheme to bolster up at once the Corn-laws which force the working man upon the parish, and the Poor-laws, framed, as is well known, with a view to relieve the landed interest. MONEY - TRADE -COMMERCE. --- Trade at Irvine is very flat at present. The sewing of muslin is scarce, and low-priced. LAW AND PONCE. A respectable mechanic being tried at Hampton Court, for breaking a bough off a tree in Bushy Park, was ordered by the Ma!Zistrate, instead of the five shilling fine, to draw a large roller over the gravel walk of the Wilderness for half an hour. SCXENCE AND AET. The Directors of the Royal Polytechnic Institution have opened a school, where the qualificative duties for the situation of railway-engine driving are taught. It has been established six months. SPORTING. Otter hunting in the New Forest began on Thurs day. The Hon. Grantley Berkeley speared the first, a fine dog otter, after a chase of two hours. It was the largest ever seen in that part of the country, and weighed nearly, 161bs. The black game in the New Forest musters strong this year. The young poults are earlier on the wing than usual. COURT--rAszurobrAnLEs. Earl and Countess Grey arrived' at Howick Hall, the close of last week. • The Duke and Duchess of Leinster have started for Carton House, Maynooth. The Duke of Wellington returned to Walmer Castle on Friday last. TZ - ITIATRICAL. Sheridan Knowles has written a new play, which is now in rehearsal at the Haymarket, and will be pro duced in a few weeks. MISCELLANEOUS. The first half-year's report of the Tamworth Library states, that " the Committee regret they have not yet been able to allow books to be taken home to be read ; but they hope, early in the month of August, to have such a number of volumes in their library as will enable them to do so." We presume Doctor Peel, the patron, intends to shovel in some few cart-loads of quack phar macopoeias and politico-medical essays. At a recent Derby dinner Sir Francis Burdett praised the Tories, and Sir R. Peel in particular, as being all that statesmen could, or should be. This vain, silly old man, complained some months ago to the Wilts electors, that lie had " a most debilitating chalk-stone in his heel." From the tenor of his speech at Derby, we should be apprehensive that the " chalk-stone" has now reached his . head I In the bedroom of a person named Farrier, at Sand wich, a pair of swallows' have built their nest on the top of his bedstead, where they have hatched their young, and fly in and out at pleasure. A fine specimen of the sturgeon was caught in the salmon-net at Reiss on Satfirday last. It was of a large size, measuring 6 feet 7 inches long, and weighing about 60 pounds. - The late rains have so severely beaten down the wheat, barley, and oats, that they rot on the ground. At Clever, about a mile from Windsor, fifteen barley acres will be fit for nothing but manure. Father Thames has of late been very unruly. Down at Dartford, a short time since, the banks opposite the canal broke away, and the water rushing through, has submerged nearly 800 acres of the marshes, destroyed a quantity of hay, and seriously damaged the corn. The " Sportsman" relates an anecdote of Sir Hussey Vivian, who, it seems, lately caught several mackerel by baiting with a sixpence ! Fishing for Tories requires a bait of a somewhat similar character. Whether in sea son or out of season, your genuine Tory rises as greedily to a pension as a trout to a fly. It is a curious fact that in the times of the Com monwealth, the Jews presented a petition to Cromwell praying him tO grant them St. Paul's Cathedral for a Synagogue. 'The late Session of Parliament was the shortest in duration of any that has occurred for several years. numouns or TIRE DAY. We understand that the Taiuworth Doctor is shortly expected to receive the appointment of Chief Physician to the Queen. This is the first time that a quack has ever been appointed to such a high office. It is to be hoped that her Majesty, with her usual good sense, will take as few of his drugs as possible. It is rumoured that Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley have already evinced symptoms of strong mu tual distrust and dislike. To quarrel in the honeymoon of Toryism is but a bad omen for the parties concerned. What will they do when they come to know each other as well as the country knows them ? We learn that the proposed Stanley and Peel Coali tion Ministry have already received the appropriate nic name of the " Peachent and Lockit Cabinet." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS .

It is noted as a singular circumstance, that, although the prospects for the har vest in Austria are represented to be very favourable, there corn ruled high in all the principal markets.
