V)/ 4,4 I,ONDON TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1841. Although the Manchester Conference was called with ova. thinking of the Whigs, the support it was calculated to give them, so far as they promoted just measures, was i:n.meJlately perceived by the Tory Journals. Accord ingly 'al .:fry directly and unsparingly attacked the Con fer,nce. - They were impeded' by - no considerations of what is due to truth and justice in their efforts to dispa rage its mem:iers. Of that the Conference has no rea stui to complain, as it was ex'.alted thereby in public esti mation ; but it cannot look with equal complacency on tlin neglect of its friends. if the meeting was caleu to servo the Whigs it was not promoted by all the W . hig.',Tournals. One of tPein joined the Spectator in censuring it, and, being afraid, perhaps, like the Tinze3,. of having its trade taken out of its hands by the substitution of the sublime principles of mo rality in the policy of nations, for the heartless and short expediency of politicians, was anxious to decry 0 meeting. The Conference has triumphed, however it was calculated to promote the best interests of in spite of the heartless sneers of opponents, 0 cold ignorance of frig ads. The convocations of have always for their ohjoet the advancement thera,:elves. The Conference was intended le purpose of promoting the public welfare, ..opeciall:,.• the welfare of the pour. It was not tur ti: !ti, like all the pursui:s of the clergy, b y any object or personal or sectarian ambition. A meeting to attain such an end would have had our most determined oppo 'sition. But the Manchester Conference was pure in .-its origin and aims, and it deserves that success which the single-minded and large-hearted men who promoted it have achieved, despite the neglect of friends and the fierce assault of foes. That Conference will be memora ble in history, when the monopolist Parliament will be forgotton. ri7ge Morning Post yesterday took a great deal of pain! :to prove that the law-making landowners are as foohsn rus they are knavish. '• They get little or nothing by Corn-lavvs," cluoth the Post. But though they gain • lit.e or nothing, the community lozes a great deal. The :~ " The census was recommenced this morning, but with out any result, as the agents of Government are not suffered to enter any of the houses. At the same time no violence is used, and the opposition is purely inert, except that in one quarter, where the agents wished to persist against a closure of doors, some dirt was thrown upon them. This occurred in front of some stables. An extraordinary display of the armed force has been made. Loaded cannon have been posted on the Place Royale. Tradesuffers ; for all the warehouses are shut up. Fresh loaded cannon are at this moment traversing the town towards other points ; the artillerymen attending them with their matches lighted. We are not at all alarmed at these warlike demonstrations." This is no pleasant view of the boasted tranquil lity of France, or of the willingness of the people to pay war taxes. Of a different character is the following letter from Toulon of the 17th, pub lashed by the Commerce " Orders and counter-orders have been sent down here in extraordinary rapid succession. Yesterday there was a question of laying up a part of our fleet in ordinary. To-day it is rumoured that all our naval force is to put out to sea as soon as possible. Yesterday, at a very late hour in the evening, despatches were forwarded to Ad miral Hugon, the contents of which were secret ; but to-day it has been ascertained to a certain degree what is the nature of the instructions transmitted to the Com- naander-in-Chief of the French naval forces in the lcla- terranean. ' All the ships at present in the roads, to the number of 16, have received orders to be ready to sail finale diately. The dock-yards are in great activity. A tele graphic despatch has given rise to all this bustle, for the cause of which it is difficult to account. "It is rumoured in town that the French squadron is to proceed to the Dardanelles, where it will be stationed, and unite with the British fleet, in order to be ready for any event, serious fears being entertained for the Sul tan's health, in consequence of the news from Constanti nople." The following is the Courrier Francais' ver sion of this intelligence : " It is positive that twelve ships of the line are to put to sea, but their destination is not known. The officers do not expect to go to the Levant: they suppose that they are to be sent to the coast of Spain. M. Guizot, who will not intervene in the affairs of the Peninsula, does he hope, by the presence of a dozen vessels in Spa nish ports, to effect a reaction favourable to Queen Cluis tina!s cause ? Or is it for preparing France for this event that Espartero has been signalised for some time past as the enemy of our country." The probable destination of the French squad ron is . Vourla Bay, where it will watch the movement of the Turkish ships destined to act against Tunis. "ThelVallachian Government has officially announced that the troubles,, caused by Bulgarians at Brailow, have been put down. A Servian officer, named Teasel), was the chief, who mustered first forty, then two hundred Bulgarians, in. order to make an incursi on i n t o T ur k e y. Robesko, aide-de-camp of Prince Ghika, dispersed the insurgents. "News from Greece mentions the arrival of the English ships, with the Candiot insurgents on board. The sum mer was exceedingly hot and sultry in Greece. " The Univers has a letter from Athens, of the 15th, announcing the disorganis a ti on cf the G ree k Mi n i s t ry . This journal states :—` Never has the opposition of King t)tho evinced greater tenacity or violence. Repu diating all his promises, and disregarding all rules, he is more resolved than ever t o p ers i s t i n hi s a b so l ut i sm. The new Ministry is completely disorganized. M. Ma vroeordato is very determined upon tendering his re iignaqoii, and upon returning to private life,, pending better times:" The Augsburgh Gazette of the 16th instant furnishes details relative to the Russian loan of 30 000 000 rubles of silver. The b an k s are authorised to issue succes sively notes to the amount of 30,000,000 rubles silver, with a stipulation of guarantees for the same on mort gages. It is said that the new financial measures an , which int e lligen ce is th e noun ce a change ea Mini s t ers more agreeable that it ma y be supposed the commercial policy of Rus siav y illbe meditied.

MONITELTR UNIVERSAL. The Journal Le Temps announces this morning that the eerisua is withdrawn. This statement is tota ll y des titute of foundation. The Government has not taken any such resolution on this subject. The census con tinues, and the Ministry is determined to finish it. The plan of suppressing two companies of every bat talion appears to be decided in the mind of Marshal Sault. It is said to be likewise intended to disarm agreat part of our fleet, in order to acquire the 'good graces of the future Tory Cabinet. We hope that Admiral Duperre will not disgrace the close of his career by a measure which nothing can jastify.—Le Siecle. ESPARTERO'S manifesto against the despotical and absurd pretensions of the Papacy has been well received in the Spanish capital. The mob, ever the last to desert the ecclesiastical standard, insulted several priests in the streets of Madrid, who were supposed to be favourable to the Papal Allocution. In several other cities of the its the Po: if seems not to be aware that the Corn laws ca?iSe a much greater loss to the public than they confer' a .in on die owners of rent. It was not neces- I sary, we can kssure the Post, to prove that the landlortlS ' have not pined by their iniquity. If the Post meant to , defend them, it should show that they di4. not mean solely to benefit themselves,' and that _they,had .not jured the community. To prove that they gain nothing by the Corn-laws, is only to show, like the clog, in the I manger, that they hare stnrrd _others, and famid le dl themselves, I .

If they refuse to no . their duty, the Court will pronounce 04414 contumacious, and the Court of Chancery will counnit and,',,Chancery C0.,r4 them to prison. The ecelesiastit.:. are, according to the Archdeacon, mere Ins: uments for extorting money for the behoof of the Church. This Minister of CHRIST, in his present charge, 1'6.. peats his adjurations to churchwardens to direct the power of the Ecclesiastical Courts against the leaders of the anti-Church party, and he re minds them that, according to an ancient practice,, the Archdeacon is authorised to command the church wardens to make a rate, with or without the consent o r f the pari4i,oners. He is not startled by this being an obsolete law; he declares that he will act on it, and make it be respected, Verily the arrogance of our priesthood is greater than the arrogance of the Church of Rome, and more ogenslre, Romish priesthood were conscious of power, a4d, went straight forward to the object; they were oily and;smooth; the English prißsthood are roughed by opposition, and fret and gall every man with whom they come into con tact. Of this the Archdeacon is 4 memorable example. To compass his selfish ends he rakes up an t 44 pmtice, and calls on churchwardens to denounce all the opppr nents of the clerical exactions to the Heolcsiastical Courts. Just and merciful man ! The Paris Journals of Sunday have all reached us. The Moniteur of that date contain 4 the fol lowing details relative to the census : " The disturbances were renewed on the 20th at Lille. The rioters pelted the troops with stones, and considera ble damage was done, The Central Commissary of Police received two wounds io the thigh. The troops dispersed the assembly, and arrests were effected. " The census is still being carried into effect at Cahors, without tranquillity being disturbed. Nearly all the houses are opened without any difficulty to the assessor. The Legitimists and Republicans, of violent opinions, are the only ones who close their doors. The working classes begin to understand that they have been shame fully deceived. " The Municipal Council of Aubenar has rejected, by a majority of 13 to 6, a motion from one of its members relative to the census. " The Municipal Council of Privas has also thrown out a similar proposition, and has likewise decided that the municipality would assist in the administration oP the contributions directes. " Two hundred and twenty-two communes have al. ready submitted to the census in the department of Ar ci4che. " The Municipal Council of Lyons, on the motion of the Mayor of that city, has voted a sum of 5,000 f. (200/.) for the expenses of the census of the population." The Industriel of Rheims, in a postcript to its last number, says—" We stop the press to announce that the operation of _the census is suspended." The Echo du Nord asserts that great numbers were wounded by the cavalry at Lille, and that one young man was thrust through the heart by a bayonet. Several were arrested and deposited in the citadel. Shouts of " down with the census," "down with M. iIumANN," resounded in every street.

The Jury then acquitted the prisoner. The RECORDER then addressed the prisoner, and said that had, the witnesses been more discreet, and had the fact of his having gone to the box of the prosecutor been legally and satisfactorily proved, he should have felt it his duty to have sent her out of the country. He hoped her present situation would be a lesson to her for the future. Henry Crane, aged 22, shoemaker, was indicted fbr feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Edward Carruthers, and stealing one work-box, one teacaddy, and one watch, his property. The prosecutor lives at Brentford, and the prisoner was formerly his servant. On the 13th of August he missed the property named in the indictment, and gave information to the police. The prisoner was taken into custody, and on his being searched several pawnbrokers' duplicates were found upon him, which on being taken to the pawnbrokers were found to be for the missing ar ticles. The pawnbroker proved that the prisoner pledged the articles which were sworn to by the prosecutor. The prisoner being called upon for his defence said, was his first offence, — and he begged his sentence Nvollc be a light one. The RECORDER having summoned up the evidence the Jury immediately recurned a verdict of Guilty: The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transporta tion, being the lightest punishment the law awards ti this offence. Thomas Grant, aged 19, was indicted for feloniously stealing 29 silver spoon, two ladles, 12 forks, and tour knife rests, value 30/., the property of William Abbot, Esq., in his dwelling-house. Thomas Body stated that he was servant to the prose cutor, and had the care of the plate.' On the 11th August he missed the plate in question, and gave infor mation of the loss to the police, and the prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. Edward Knight Maddox stated, that he was on a visit at the house of Mr. Abbott, the prosecutor, and on the 11th August he saw the prisoner coming from the house, and saw him drop two spoons. Saw him in conversation with a boy, and pursued him ; and came up to a heck( where the prisoner hid himself. Did not succeed in capturing him. It was close to the house of the pro secutor. The boy has not been taken into custody. William Glabill, the police-officer who took the pri soner into custody, stated that he found several spoons and forks under the hedge where the prisoner hid him self, which place was pointed out to the witness by Mr. Maddox. Another officer also deposed to having found several articles of plate in a lane near the hedge. This being the case for the prosecution, Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and the ReCorder having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation. The prisoner had been previously convicted, and sen tenced to two years' imprisonment. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LivEßPool.

Phillips defended the prisoner. The prosecutor lodged in the house of Mrs. Young, and the prisoner was her servant. The money was kept in a box in the prosecutor's room. The prisoner was suspected, as she had purchased a great quantity of things about the tilLe the money was missed. These she stated she had from her relations, who, it appeared, were in very good circumstances. As soon as the loss was discovered, Mrs. Young went to the prisoner in the presence of the prosecutor, and told her it would be better for her to confess, and she said she knew nothing about it, but th a t s h e had taken a few ar ticles out of the box. • This she afterwards denied, and said she had them from her grandmother. Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury on behalf of the pri soner, contending that the evidence tendered was not legal. TETESIM Y, AUGUST 24, 1841 DO. ep3 tz t l r ij r,,4 at . S AND 'l' ",)ittlft .

The Morning Herald, discussing the very ticklish ques tion of Tory loyalty, observes :—" Nothing is more cer tain than that the Conservative party in time lehigilewas has manifested—out of Parliament, at home and abroad --the most unbounded loyalty and attachment to her Majesty ; and that domestic disaffection and Chartist menaces, rebellion tampered with in Canada ; and the seditious proposer of the repeal of the Union with Ireland, upheld, abetted, entertained by her Majesty's Govern • meat in London and its representatives in' tublin—have been among the most remarkable of the Wliig manifests;: tions of regard for the Royal person and authority." This is a fine specimen of what the Times--a good judge of the mendacious—calls " enormous lying." When and where was it that the Tories evinced the " most un bounded loyalty and attachment to her Majesty ?" Was it at Exeter Hall, when they compared her to the woman Jezebel ? Was it at Canterbury, when they insulted her in the most outrageous manner ? Was it in Parliament, when from party, not patriotic motives, they thwarted her wishes with respect to Prince Albert's income ? Was it when the melancholy case of Lady Flora Hastings was before the public ? Or was it when they attempted to take advantage of her youth and inexperience, as respects the Bed-chamber appointments ? If these were proofs of Tory loyalty, then we grant that the Tories were loyal to the back-bone ; but we demur to that sort of loyalty which will not bear consideration, We quote the following significant remarks from the Chronicle Whatever Tory leaders or county majori ties may do, or strive to do, every prudent observer sees what is eemiug, The elections have not silenced the voice of truth, justice, and humanity. It rings yet louder and louder throughout the land. The symptoms of in evitable change in the Corn-lawn may be abated within the walle of the Ilonso of Commons, but they are as visible everywhere else as the most obvious phenomena of the heavens or the earth. It comes on with a force like that of the laws of nature, against which it is useless for parties to win victories. The people 'do object to starve.' You cannot outvote their objection, or put it down by a resolution, It will either outlast the land lords' Parliament, or It will prove too strong for the landlords' Parliament. One or the other is as sure as fate ; which is much more sure than any body can be of what the new majority will do with its victory." To attempt to check the current of public opinion that is now setting strongly in, in favour of a Repeal of the Corn-laws, is as redieulous as would be the attempt to roll back the waters of Niagara. The tide must have its way, and will assuredly sweep to destruction all who strive to oppose, or divert its course. Least of all, is Sir Robert Peel—the most undecided of statesmen=-ca pable of thwarting the public wishes on the subject of the Corn-laws. The celebrated Mrs. Partington once tried to stop the encroachments of the Atlantic with her mop ; but even this was not a whit more Quixetic than the efforts of the Tory faction to prevent the people from having oheap bread, The Times says :—" The baited Whigs, being resolved to die as gamely and gallantly as possible, are reported to have elaborated the address into a form, which, if their craftiness be not thwarted by superior dexterity, will impose the necessity of responding to it with one continued negative from beginning to end. Fain would they put the House of Commons into an apparent attitude of complete hostility to the Crown. Fain would they lay a train for a debate which they might industriously and malignantly misrepresent as a positive disrespect to the Sovereign. Fain would they inveigle the representatives of the people into an indecent wrangle with the Royal prerogative. Fain would they strain their successful praetisings upon, her Majesty's confidence into a perilous provocation of her Majesty's susceptibilities of resentment. But, unless we are grievously mistaken, their plot will be balked with even more cleverness than they have shown in hatching it. The details of their ad dress will, we trust, be never entered on." I t i s to be inferred from the above, we presume, that the great questions in which the people are now so greatly interested, will not even be " entered on." The Tories will put a veto on them, as things of no account. They will check all discussion with lofty disdain. This is indeed carrying matters with a high hand. The Post endeavours to show that the Tories are closely identified with the people in their political views, observing—" The Conservative party is the slow growth of nine years. It derives its strength from the gradual pro cess of nine years' public experience. The public have found that they want steady, careful government, and that it is more safe to have a Government composed of men ho arc themselves intimately concerned in leading na tional interests than to have a Government dependent upon disreputable schemers and agitators, whose whole lives have been, and are likely to be (whether cut short by the public executioner or not) continued scenes of popular excitement, and public fraud, and desperate ad venture. The British public desire a Governnunt whose power rests upon a respectable foundation," We should be glad to know upon what " respectable foundation" the Tories stand. Is it on their principles ? They have none. Is it on thir upright, undeviating consistency ? Here their deficiency is equally glaring. Is it on their known sympathies with the wants and wishes of the people ? They have scarcely a sympathy in common with them. Is it on their loyalty to a high minded and popular Queen ? Here, too, they have shown themselves as wanting in tact as decency. In a word, the Tories stand on no other foundation than that of busy intrigue and corruption, aided by the working of the Chandos clause. Let these be cut from under their feet, and they would not exist a m-nith. lIIONEY — T&IIDE—COMMERCE. At Kirkaldy, in the beginning of last century, there was little done in weaving linen cloth, ticks, &c. In 1736 the number of yards manufactured amounted to 178,000, or fully 100 miles. The quantity manufactured in 1841 at Kirkaldy and three adjacent towns, is about 25,000,000 yards, or 14,000 miles. The deliveries of tea last week were 434,7001b5., being rather less than during the two preceding weeks. On reference to the average prices of corn fofiE t y years, from 1790 to 1839 inclusive, there were thirty-six good seasons, and fourteen indifferent. NAVAL AND IVITLITARY. The fungus pits in Woolwich dock-yards, closed since August, 1836, for the purpose of testing the virtue of Sir W. Burnett's process for rendering wood,,cordage, and woollen free from dry rot, have recently been ordered by Government to be opened. The result is that the wood is as clear and sound as when first deposited, and the canvas and calico equally well preserved. The ship Duke' of Reichstadt, a fine vessel of 400 tons burden, has been consumed by fire in the Adriatic, on her voyage to Venice. A seaman has lost his life; the rest of the crew were saved by the jolly-boat. Before a French vessA bore down upon her she had totally dis appeared. The loss is estimated at 6,000/. The approximation of dress of the mates and masters of the merchant service to that of the Royal Navy is often a great source of inconvenience and trouble abroad, and it is hoped some wider distinction will be made. The Naval and Mlitary Gazette states that several worthy officers, interested themselves in procuring the pension of 1001. a year for the widow of the naval his torian James, but the success of the application is mainly to be attributed to the zealous perseverance of Vice-Ad miral Sir Charles Adam.

Immediately after con viction of the offence, his right hand was cut off, rather dexterously, and the wrist was dipped in boiling pitch to check the bleeding. This being done, he was placed upon an ass, with his face turned towards the tail, and the severed hand suspended over his back, and paraded through the streets of Tunis, after which he was taken to his house, without having lost public consideration, as, amongst the Mussulmans, • the infamy of the crime d o es not outlive the punishment.— Galigneni's ltiessenger A GRaCULTIMAL.

His Lordship addressed the meeting to the following effect : It was usual, he said, in the Speech from the Throne, on the opening of a session of Parliament, to avoid as much as possible any topics of an irritating nature, or which might be calculated to produce differences of opinion. But he thought it is duty to inform them that, in consideration of the peculiar circumstances connected with the present meeting of Parliament, it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government on this occasion to deviate from the usual course, and to introduce into the Royal Speech such topics as would completely develop the policy they had determined to pursue, and as must inevitably lead to a full discussion of that policy. From this discussion he and his colleagues in the Government were determined not to shrink, and the Speech had been so framed as to afford every Member an opportunity of expressing his sentiments upon their policy, and the House an opportunity of recording its opinion. The Speech would contain the usual topics, in ad vertisg to which her Majesty's Government would, he was happy to say, be enabled to refer with satis faction to many parts of their policy. With respect to those parts of it which wets° most likely to occasion differences of opinion the decision of the House of Commons would be taken, and when the 'opinion of the House of Commons should have been expressed, in the event, which he anticipated, of its being an adverse opinion, he and his colleagues felt that it would be unconstitutional for them to remain any longer in office. He did not conceal his belief that an amendment to the Address would be moved and carricd by a considerable majority. But while 11 0 expressed his persuasion that Lis would be the last occasion on which they would meet as a party in possession of the Government of the country, he could not refrain from expressing, at the same time, his conviction that the political principles which united them were wise and j us t, an d hi s confidence that, in whatever hands the G overnment might be placed, they must uli. mately prevail.

It will be for you to consider whether some of these duties are not so trifling in amount as to be unproductive to the Revenue, while they are vex atious to commerce. You may further examine whether the principle of protection, upon which others of these duties are founded, be not carried to an extent injurious alike to the income of the State, and the interests of the people.

T o t hi s table the youthful inatherlati— cian is supposed to address himself. Instead of the in— tangible triangle heptagon, or octagon of "Euclid's Ele—• ments," composed of subtle and eluding lines, the stu- , dent sees, and the sight only imprints the - figures permanently on the memory, that the :tagora is a palpable eight-sided piece —the cube, a so .-. lid sexagunal block —the polygon, a piece with a mul tiple of sides, &c. But here the invention stoj not. These are but the simple elements whi , in can Ile brought into more complex action. In thi utt,er compart ments of Mr. Berry's table the simple triangle, squat., .1, and circle are conjoined into more elaborate forms, : ;o that the scholar as he progesses can actually arrive at the composition of such ..nvolved figures as a geomet staircase, as exact in rroportion as any that adorns the mansion of a noble, tar can build up the fortificatio7 js of a city, true to all t.'fle rules of art. So plain, simpi.e, and intelligent a plan toward.; the perspicuous u'iderstanding of this science, cann. J t but render it are immediate favourite in our academies and schools. -..-........ . THE GOOD OLD PEEL DAYS.---THE MAN . " CHESTER MASSACRE,—AIond,ty was the twenty -second anniversary of the m emora bl e and disgraceful niassatxr that took place at Manchester, on the I Gth of Auguete 1819, in th e di spers i on of a legally -assembled 3e" form neeeting‘ by the armed yeomanry of that town t and which, down to the present hour, has never been investigated. Mr. (now Sir) John Cam Hob "louse, in his "supplicatory letter to Lord Viscount Castlereagh," written immediately after, gives the fol lowing detail of the results of the slaughter :—" The Manchester Committee have already relieved 300 persons and have a list amounting to 410 wounded and griev ously itOred. Those who suffered from sabre wounds,. amount "I" to 84 individuals (Lord Sidmouth in the: debate said not one had been cut by a yeomanry roan !)• are by no m eans suc h lamentable objects as those who were pressed under heaps of fugitives, and receiveee in ternal injuries. All the avenues to Saint Peter's-field, except one, were blockaded, notwithstanding the asser tions made in Parliament ! The 88th Regiment bayo neted several persons endeavouring to escape through those passages said to be left open • one woman was sabred nearly a m il e f rom the place oimeeting ! I learn, through a respectable Manchester gentleman, himself .. attached to the Magistracy, and acting as one of dee: special constables on the 16th of August, that he is s•aied he saw two thousand down on tire ground at trace when the charge was made ! Ashworth, the special constable, was killed close to this gentleman— but not, as Lord Sidmouth said, by the mob —no—he wets ridden over by the yeomanry. Mare than a hundre,d most re spectable witnesses might be brought—hut what is the people, tbh good to offer any proof ?"—Glasgow Chron-lc.e.

It appeared to be relished mightily by the deities, who, in euia' lation, attempted to get up an interesting do mestic drama on their own account, as there were,fre quent indications of "pitching him , over," and other phrases very interesting - to the individuals concerned. This very pleasing part of the evening's amusement lasted for about half an hour, when the " th un d ero f t he gods" b ecame h us h ed. The performances concluded with a nautical drama bearing the title of Sweet Pal, of liord3ydow n , or Poor Joe the Mari ne , a ki n d o t second edition of "Black-Eyed Susan," the principal character, "Pretty Poll," being supported by Mis. Howard;; and, from the archness of manner, in which she; played the character, we were not at all surprised that a fine Post Captain should fall in love with a publican's pretty daughter, and that the publican's pretty daughter should prefer her own "true love" to the tendered affec tions of the Post Captain, especially when this same Captain was the chosen of her father. We laughed heartily at Mr. Gardener, who as a Cockney butter was irresistibly droll, especially where, having been " pressed" and placed on board of a man of war, he•is being initiated into the mysteries of the mess-room, and the kind offices of the ship's cook.
