FOREIGN-COLONIAL. _ _------ _ The troubles at Toulouse continue to fill the French Government with the most serious apprehen sions. From the bloodless revolution effected at Tou louse to a bloody one at Paris there is but one step. A body of ten thousand troops was ordered to reinforce the garrison, and to prevent the contagiousness of ill example Louis Philippe has commanded the authorities to pour upon the heads of the disturbers of official tranquillity the full vial of his Royal wrath. The criminality of the Government throughout is well set forth in the letter of our Paris Correspondent, which appears in another co lumn. The Journal des Debats lauds the French Cabinet for extricating the country from the dangerous slough in which M. Thier% policy of isolation sunk it. All accounts from Crete represent the insurgents as confident in their hopes of achieving their independ ence. Tahir Pacha, at the head of 8,000 Turks, has made no impression upon them. Mehemet Ali's official and unqualified .acceptance of the late Hatti-Scheriff will be found in this day's Sun. AT HOME. IVILSCMLLANEOITS. A Worcester Journal announces that on Tuesday last a Mrs. Philips, of Droitwich, was safely delivered of a son and hai-c. Earl Fortescue has been unanimously elected High Steward of Barnstaple in the room of his father. - kr. Van Amburgh's elephant, without due permis sion, took an unusual walk through Tewkesbury town on Tuesday, and after knocking down a wall, devouring a vine, and frightening many people to death, he quietly walked back to his den. LAW AND POLICE. The Secretary of the Leicester-square Literary Institution has lately alarmed 'several of the members by carrying about with him loaded pistols, and threaten ing to shoot them. When examined at Marlborough street, he said that he was apprehensive of mad dogs, and at night had often to carry home 3001. or 4001. of the Society's money. He was held to bail. Mrs. Bradbury, the proprietress of a lunatic asylum at Brompton, for the reception of female lunatics of the Upper classes, pleaded guilty to the charge of making no return to the census paper. The defendant stated that she had done so in concurrence with the advice of her medical friends, and that on motives of delicacy alone, as a return could only distress the minds of the friends of the inmates, and was ready to pay any fine rather than make a disclosure. The case is postponed to Thursday. WEIL= OPINION. The Scotch Tories are grievously humbled by the result of the elections. They expected, at least, a ma jority of 10, and they are in a minority of 9, on the ge neral returns. " Put money in thy purse," says the Times to every Conservative gentleman. Keep a jea lous eye and a joint-stock purse for all the disposable properties of any importance that may happen to be ex posed for sale. A venal elector is a property of vast importance to a Tory. As for the Herald, we are utterly at loss to make out what it means when in a crying mood it prays to St. Swithin " to rain out this crying nuisance of travelling corn agitators." Does the venerable journalist want a second flood to drown the Smiths and the Acklands, trusting to his piety for the salvation of himself and Buckingham ? What human being can catch a glimpse of common sense in the following sentence (a specimen of the rest) :—" It is by the way an amusing effort which they make to fly above the atmosphere of their conscious obscurity by the marvellously fine pra nomina which they all seem to affect." The Cork Southern Reporter speaks -with pride of its County returning to Parliament seven tried friends of Freedom, Reform, and good Government. The only exception was Bandon. But it dreads the first act which they apprehend of Peel's government, namely, to place Jackson, West, and Litton on the Bench. The Essex .HeralB, looking at the present Tory , ma jority, owns Lord Melbourne's Ministry virtually at an end ; but understands that Lord John Russell will meet the new Parliament, and bring on, if possible f a division on the Corn-laws before they retire. Sir Robert Peel, it expresses a hope, will before the meeting of Parlia ment, seize on some opportunity, as in 1834, to explain to the country the policy he shall adopt. Whether Sir Robert Peel, says the Devonshire Chronicle, have a majority of 60, 100, or 200, he cannot keep office and carry on a Tory Government. The Tories must carry on Whig measures, or turn out. The days of monopoly and exclusion are numbered, and when they cease, there is an end of Sir Robert Peel and his tail, if his tail were to reach across the Atlantic. The Chronicle, with what truth we know not, im putes foul play to the Duke of Richmond and the Earl of March, at the Banff election, and asserts that after giving a written assurance that he would observe a strict neutrality, his Grace's factors canvassed for the Tory. We cannot believe that a Peer whose name stands so high, would lend himself to such a plot, and the fact that many of his tenants voted for Mr. Duff, warrants the conclusion. Spain, after having deceived and ,cheated her fo reign creditors fifty times, has another scheme on hand to keep up the swindling system. On this scheme the Post makes the following remarks :—" In war and in peace her heartless indifference to the claims of the starving foreign bondholders has been the same. Nothing what ever has been paid, nor have the remonstrances of the sufferers been deemed entitled to a reply. Such has been the conduct of the Spaniards for the last twenty years, and really a more incorrigible, a more irreclaimable race does not exist even in the lawless regions of Central Africa. Will, then, the Committee of Bondholders con descend to listen to any proposition the effect of which is, not to ensure by any means a more punctual attention on the part of Spain, to the just claims of her foreign creditors, but merely that of exchanging, upon the old offensive principle, one scrap of printed paper for an other, the ultimate object of the debtor being, no doubt, further to complicate and mystify her liabilities, and to afford scope for more jugglery at the Stock Exchange, out of which additional funds may be acquired ? ELECTION DINNERS. The Relbrmers of the ancient city of Perth gave a splendid demonstration of Liberal principles on the 16th inst., at a dinner to the Right Hon. Fox Maule. Nearly 500 noblemen and gentleman were present. Mr. Ewart, at the public dinner given to him at Dumfries on Monday last, said, "there were still blights on the amended or rather the deteriorated Reform Bill. Ancient defects were still retained in it. Many places, he affirmed, still figured in schedule B, which ought to have decorated or disgraced schedule A. The polluted shades of Gatton and Old Sarum still hover over the streets of Harwich, of Ripon, of Beverley, and even of Wigan." Admiral Sir Chas. Adam honoured the electors of Clackmannan and Kinross with his presence at dinner on Thursday last. Sir Charles was elected by twenty-three persons in Kinross, when he had the glory of giving his vote for carrying the Reform Bill through the House. Since then he has been the proud representative of nearly 1,000 electors.. • On Tuesday, the 13th current, a public dinner was given at Wick by the Liberal electors to James Loch, Esq., M.P. for the Northern Burghs. About 160 gentle men were present, and the meeting was most harmonious. r ran ARTS. The Royal Academy closes on Saturday. The British it - Agitation hi rallaniall is open silt weeks longer.

The first wife of Lord John Russell was the Lady Ribbledale, whom he married in April, 1835. Yesterday, the celebration of his marriage with Lady Fanny Ellictt, daughter of the Earl of Mint°, took pitiZt. Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia on Mon day visited the Greenwich Union. She expressed her surprise at the number of its inmates, 869 ; 500 of whom are able to leave their respective wards ; and before her departure she entered in the visiting book of the insti tution her autograph, expressive of her approval of the state of the house, and the comfort of the inmates. nuivzouns or TEE DAM We hear that the Conservative electors of West minster intend to invite Captain Eons ton splendid dinner in Drury-lane Theatre in August ? and that all the pub licans who have been annoyed by the wanton interference of the police in rudely entering their houses on Saturday Tti J sUN, NEON DON W - EDNES PAY, JULY 21, 184 h nights, will act as stewards, or make themselves in any way useful. In the Tory circles it is said that Mr. Shaw Le fevre will not be appointed Speaker, and that the choice will fall on Mr. Charles Wynn, who contested the Speakership with Mr. Manners Sutton a quarter of a century ago. If a long apprenticeship be any recommen dation, none can compete with this oracle of precedent, for he has been preparing for the situation for the last thirty years. PUBLIC MEETING OF DISSEN. TERS AT EDINBURGH. A public meeting of the members and seat-holders of Dissenting Churches was held in South College-street Church, Edinburgh, on Wednesday evening, the 14th current, to receive the Report of the Committee ap pointed at the public meeting held in December last, and to consider what course Dissenters should follow to de fend their civil rights from the unjust encroachments of the High Church party and their abettors in Parliament. The meeting, though at first not so full, was shortly after seven o'clock crowded both above and below. About 2,000 persons were present. A series of resolutions were, as subjoined, novel on the occasion Rev. James Robertson moved the Ist resolution to the effect :- - That in a free State there ought to be a perfect equality of civil rights, and that the existence of a Church Establishment was utterly incompatible with such equality, and that the meeting was therefore or opinion that complete civil equality could be obtain& only by abolishing all preference of one sect over another." Rev. JOHN M‘CrILCHRIST moved the next resolution : —" That the Dissenters' of Edinburgh should unite in favour of a candidate, who,ln addition to understanding their principles, was of decidedly Liberal opinions on all the great questions of the day, including that of an en tirely free trade in corn, to carry such a Candidate to the poll, and use every fair means to secure his return." Mr. CHARLES SPENCE, S.S.C., moved the next resolu tion :—" That the friends of the Liberal cause should endeavour to increase their number by inducing all with in the circle of their acquaintance, who were of Liberal' politics and possess the necessary q ualifications, to re gister immediately." All these resolutions were warmly seconded, and de terminations expressed to carry them into full effect. COMMERCIAL TREATY. PORTUGAL AND THE UNITED STATES. ARTICLE I.

All kinds of merchandise and articles of commerce which may be lawfully exported or re-exported from the ports of either of the high contracting parties to any foreign country, in national vessels, may also be exported or re-exported therefrom in vessels of the other party respectively, without paying other or higher duties or charges, of whatever kind or denomination, than if the same merchandise or articles of commerce were exported or re-exported in national vessels. And the same bounties and drawbacks shall be allowed whether such exportation or re-exportation be made in vessels of the one party or the other. ARTICLE. VII. It is expressly understood that nothing contained in this Treaty shall be applicable to the coastwise naviga tion of either of the two countries, which each of the high contracting parties reserves exclusively to itself. to be detained until the time when they shall be restored to the vessels to which they belonged, or sent back to their own country by a vessel of same nation, or any other vessel whatsoever. But if not sent back within four months from the day of their arrest, they shall be set at liberty, and shall not be again arrested for the same cause. However, if the deserter shall be found to have com mitted any crime or offence, the surrender may be de layed until the tribunal before which his case shall be pending, shall have pronounced its sentt nee, and such sentence shall have been carried into effect. ARTICLE XIL The subjects and citizens of each of the high con tracting parties shall have power to dispose of their per sonal goods within the jurisdiction of the other, by testa ment, donation, or otherwise, and their representatives shall succeed to their said personal goods, whether by testament or ab intestate, and may take possession thereof, either by themselves or by others acting for them. and dispose of the same at will, paying to the profit of the re 3pective Governments such dues only as the inhabitants of the country wherein the said goods are shall be sub ject to pay in like cases. And where, on the death of any person holding real estate within the territories of one of the high contract ing- parties, such real estate would, by the laws of • the land, descend on a subject or citizen of the other party, who, by reason of alienage, may be incapable of holdin! , it, he shall be allowed the time fixed by the laws of the country, and in case the laws of the country actually in :bre° may not have fixed any such time, lie then shall be• allowed a reasonable time to sell or otherwise dispose of such real estate, and to withdraw and export the pro ceeds without molestation, and without paying to the profit of the respective Governments any other dues than those to which the inhabitants of the country wherein the said real estate is situated shall be subject to pay in like cases. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—The unfavourable state of the weather has prevented the Royal party at the Castle from taking their usual rides and drives to-day. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Cottenham, the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, and Sir Henry Wheatley, have arrived to-day on a visit to her Majesty. The Marquis of lleadfort has succeeded the Earl of Fingall as the Lord in Waiting on the Queen, and Sir Frederick Stovin has succeeded Mr. Rich as the Groom in Waiting on her Majesty. The Noble Earl and Mr. Rich have taken their departure. The Duke de Brabant is still (it is gratifying to state) improving in health. Monday was' the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, when the Princess attained her 20th year. Some of the Foreign Ministers, and many of the Nobility called, during the day, at. Cambridge House, and left their names for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Prin cess Augusta and Prince George of Cambridge, ho noured the English Opera House with her presence- on Monday evening. The Danish Charge d'Affaires transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. The marriage of Lord John Russell with the Lady Fanny Elliot, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Minto, was expected to be solemnised yesterday, at Minto House, Roxburghshire. After the ceremony, the Noble Lord and his Lady would proceed to Bow hill, Selkirk, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch. FRENCH NOTIONS OF ENGLISH REFORM. PARIS, JULY 16.—1 have of late made acquaintance ship with a certain fluneur, who, like all flancurs, wears a prodigiously deep neckcloth, and looks sagacious as Minos himself, though I suspect Gall or Spurzheim would make little of him in the way of craniology. Nevertheless he abounds in bonhontinie, and is vastly available to a stranger in the shape of an index to Pari sian affairs. Entering our ordinary cafe this morning, he directed my attention to some remarks in a French print upon your Sir Robert Peel's speech at Tamworth, wherein the Premier-to-be appropriates to himself the absolute and undivided credit of being the founder of the Conservative party, asserting it to have grown up com pletely under his own auspices, till he had fostered it to its present strength ; while he preliminarily states that the Reform party in England was fathered by the French Revolution ; and that the spirit which swayed the latter to overturn the Bourbon institutions was identically that which prompted and inspired the agitation of your great Reform measures, and that it only marched across the Channel to make a second edition in England of what it had primarily produced in France. Though it might naturally be expected that a Frenchman would be proud of having it to show, that in their origination, English political movements were but the offspring of his own, and that Grande Bretagne was but a sheer copyist of Gallican ideas, yet Monsieur le Be dacteur, in this case, perhaps enamoured of the splen dour of his own antiquarian views as projected below, jeers at the narrow-minded hypothesis put forth by Sir Robert, and accuses him of vanity and presumptuous self-ascription. Conservatism, says our French confrere, is of no new or recent growth in England ; it is coeval with her soil, and had its birth with her aboriginal Saxons. Conservatism is that principle which abides by whatsover has the sanction of age and - antiquity, so that whatever it may be, whether in theTolitical, civil, or religious estate, if once planted in the island, Conser vatism adheres with Chinese obstinacy to that, and that alone, resenting every innovation with virulence. Let it be but a cow-shed,—venerable Saxonism need only have established it for the priests of this political order to disallow of its renovation, or repair, though it be in literal rottenness and decay. Our editor affirms the first Conservatives of this class to have been Cassibelaun and Caractacus, whom he considers to have resisted the Ro mans, not so much out of love for patriotism, as to pre vent Roman improvement and enlightenment being forced upon them, in the stead of their almost obsolete Druid ism and Mam Tor worship. Here the gist of our Edi tor's remarks grows even more erratic and abusive, and my friend the flaneur bestowed on him the epithet " ganacke," which you know was Napoleon's favourite word bestowable on arrant stupidity or obtuseness. Piquing himself on his further acquaintance with his tory, he next runs full tilt at Reform, and shows that if its spirit has been uncontinuous, the old giant has started up at intervals and done wonders. William the Norman, says he, was your first great reformer ; and next him the eighth Harry. Your institutions bear traces to this day of the innovations made by the first ; and the grand reform of the second, which overthrew the plethoric grandeur of abbacy and prelacy, need not, says the editor, be rehearsed. Reform, he avouches with honesty, is as indigenous in England as in France ; and he then warms with admiration at the great mea sures she has of late effected in your country, and of mightier that are to come. He affirms that the eyes of France gaze with no slight solicitude upon the measures advocated by your Reform in England ; and observes, that as those measures are grounded on the basis of un shakable truth, they must, however clouded for a time, emerge triumphant at last. Here he begins to grow grandiloquent, and likens the temporary obstruction of Reform measures to a puff of smoke blown upon pure dia mond, which, however it may for a time obscure its brightness, yet at last the intrinsic gem will shine out, in undimmed and inextinguishable lustre. " The force of language can no further go,"—and the Editor feeling himself tread on the land-marks of the poetical world, pursues his climax no further in the re gions of prose, but launches into bold octosyllabics, in laudation of Reform, commencing with the following lines : Tune dors pas, souffle de vie ; Puisque I'univers vit toujours, Ta sainte haleine vivifie Les premiers et les derniers jours, &c. &c. REFORM. " Behold, I make all things new. —Revelations. Thou sleepest hot, Reform ! From the ancientest age thou wast ! And thy spirit anew will inform Time to come, as it did time past. For when Chaos leaped up like a man 'Twas thy might through the mass that ran ; "fwas thy fieryness filled the profound, Turning clods into glorious ground— Spreading out all the starry blue sky, Which before was confusion on high. For thy voice, 0 Reform, strung and true, Said, " Behold, I make all things new." Yet silence vast is thine ; Thy spirit in deepness dwells In the depths of abysms divine, Reside thy all-powerful spells. As an oak that in darkness grows For an age on a gloomy mound, Shakes suddenly all its boughs, And roars till the grove resound, So thy voice, 0 Reform, strong and true, Saith, " Behold, I make all things new." Then the Heavens grow bright, and the Earth Dreams a dream that new glories are nigh ; And thy Mysteries teem toward birth, For a God in thy womb doth lie. And the nations, 0 mighty Reform, Stand comet-struck, faint with affright, As with thy oclestial storm Thou dust palsy the realms of night Till their darkness and gloom surrender To thy strong and invincible splendour ; While the laws on their columns shake, And the Earth and th• 3 Heavens quake.' For thy voice, 0 Reform, strong and. true, Saith, " Behold, I make all things new." Then behold ! 0 what hours divine ! Ope, mine eyes, to their blessedest shine ; Clouds are cleft, and a man, high and wise, In thy likeness doth nobly arise, And his forehead and form glow with flame, And he comes in thine awfulest name, Like a Light and a Sign to the world, And to ruin the old things are hurled. For thy voice, 0 Reform, strong and true, Saith, " Behold I make all things new." Like a sea, have old Errors amassed ; They accrue like the mud and the slime Of an Ocean, to gulph and o'ercast Man, and all that of man is sublime. And the waves thereof spread to the right— To the left with funereal boom — And they compass Humanity's flight, And yawn round about like a tomb ; But Reform rises, swift as the light, And averts that most ominous doom. For thy voice, 0 Reform, strong and true, Saith, " Behol.l I make all things new." Aye, thou cattiest ; I know thy deep glance ; The Ages shall happy be yet • The columns of Hope shall advance, And thy suns that shall shine and not set : Thy perfumes of incense arise ; Thine Eagle unfoldeth her wings ; Thy Oriflamme flames through the skies ; With thy music the firmament rings And the Earth at thy coming throws off Her sackcloth a nd vestures of gloom, Lo she laughs in the royal array Which thy power lath made her assume.

AR ricLE IX. Whenever the sUbjeas or citizens of either of the con tracting parties shall be forced to seek refuge or asylum in any of the rivers, bays, ports or territories of the other, with their vessels, whether merchant or of war, through stress of weather, in pursuit of pirates or ene mies, they shall be received and treated with humanity, giving to them all favour, facility,, and protection for re pairing their ships, 'procuring provisions, and placing themselves in a situation to continue their voyage with out obstacle or hindrance of any kind. ARTICLE X. The two contracting parties shill have the liberty of having, each in the ports of the other, consuls, vice-con suls, agents, and commissaries of their own appoint ment, who shall enjoy the same privileges and powers as those of the most favoured nation. But before any consul, vice-consul, agent, or commis sary shall act as such, he shall, in the usual form, be ap proved and admitted by the Government to which he is sent. But if any such consuls shall exercise commerce they shall be submitted to the same laws and usages to which the private individuals of their nation are submitted, in the same place in respect of their commercial transactions. And it is hereby declared that, in case of offence against the laws, such consul, vice-consul, agent, or com missary may either be punished according to law, or be sent back, the offended Government assigning to the others reasons for the same. The archives and papers of the consulates shall be re spected inviolably ; and, under no pretext whatever, shall any Magistrate seize or in any way interfere with them. The Consuls, Vice-Consuls, and commercial agents shall have the right, as such, to sit as judges and ar bitrators in such differences as may arise between the Captains and crews of the vessels belong ing to the nation whose interests are committed to their charge, without interference of the local authorities, unless the conduct of the crews or of the captains should disturb the order or the tranquillity, or offend the laws of the country : or the said consuls, or commerc i a l agents, should require their assistance to cause their decisioa to be carried into effect, or,supported. It is, however, understood that this species of judg ment or arbitration shall not deprive the contending par ties of the right they have to resort, on their return, to the judicial authorities of their country.

SlR—Seeing in your paper a few days since some ac count of ancient newspapers, and not including one of considerable antiquity in this neighbourhood, I beg to inform you I have a copy of the Sherborne Mercury, of the date of August 16, 1737, printed at Sherborne by W. Bettinson and Company, from London (price 2d., stamp ld.), which appears to be the only advertising medium in this locality. It contains some rather amusing information compared with the rapid mode of travelling in the present day. There are two advertisements for the quick conveyance of goods and passengers from Frome, Somerset, to London, on " Bird's Flying Frome Waggon," sets out from the George Inn, Frome, for the Bull and Mouth Inn, near Aldersgate, London, every Monday by five o'clock, and returns to Frome by twelve at gnoon, Saturday. " Performed, if God permit, by Roger Bird." " The Hathersele, who about a year ago sailed hence for Barbadoes, is now daily expected from thence in the River full freighted with sugar." " On Tuesday the Assizes ended at Derby, where was a most splendid appearance of gentlemen and ladies to attend the High Sheriff ; and at night a ball, where a lady proposed a collection for a soldier who had drank the Pretender's health, and accordingly a great number of half-crowns were gathered for him." " On Thursday last the wife of the noted Turpin was brought to bed of a son and heir at her house, near Chinkford Green, Essex." " This day eighteen persons were convicted before the Commissioners of Excise for retailing spirituous liquors contrary to the Act, and fined 1001. each." " Oa Thursday was exported for Cadiz 850 quarters of 'Wheat." •' Early yesterday morning three men in liquor fell into Tower-ditch, one of whom was killed outright, a second had an arm broke, and the third dislocated his collar-bone. They have cross'd the saying, drunken men catch no harm." WEEKLY BILL. .NSPECTION OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. Woot.wrctr, Jour 19.—The annual inspection of the Royal Regiment of Artillery took place to-day at the garrison at Woolwich. Shortly after nine o'clock, A.m. the Royal Horse Artillery and the field-batteries assembled on the Common in heavy marching order, and received Lieut.-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C. H. on his arrival with the usual salute. His Lordship was attended by his staff, and he minutely examined the whole of the men, and expressed himself highly pleased with tl.eir excellent appearance. At the conclusion of the inspection of the Royal Horse Artillery, Lord Bloomfield presented a silver medal to Farrier Nlajor William Sealer of that branch of the service, and in the kinde.t manner stated, that he always felt the greatest pleasure in having to reward meritorious soldiers for their good conduct during the period they were engaged in her Majesty's service and in the service of their country. Wrn. Soaker, in addition to the medal, will, agreeably to Art. 49 of the regulations for pensioning soldiers of the Ordnance Military Corps, receive a gratuity of lb/. besides the usual rate of pension to which his services entitle him. The Commandant, on his return from the Common, exa , mined all the barracks and internal arrangements of the garri son, with which he expressed himself well pleased. At three o'clock the whole of the Foot Artilery assembled on the Common, under the command of Colonel Lacy, and the Ist battalion under Lieut.-Colonel Walker; the 2d batta lion, Lieut.-Colonel Blachely ; the 3d battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Jackson ; the 4th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Sabine ' • the sth battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Cruthenden ; the 6th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Hunt ; the 7th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Bran dreth ; the Bth battalion, Major Sweeting ; the 9th, Captain Palmer, the two latter being temporary appointments. The men were formed into battalions, and his Lordship passed along each of them, and made a minute examination, recei ;inz from each Commanding Officer a report of the state of his battalion. Several in the Non-commissioned Officers entitled to medals and gratuities were present in plain clothes, and were called in front of their respective battalions to receive the medals from the hands of his Lordship, who on each occasion addressed them in the kindest manner. His Lordship afterwards pro ceeded along the whole line, and at ten minutes past four the men marched back to their barracks, having by their general appearance given great satisfaction. In Lord Howick the Tories have caught a Tartar. Foul play could not be practised with impunity on a man of his spirit and.talent. He is not the sort of per son to be tricked out of his seat, and to submit silently to the dishonourable deceit. Nor is he the sort of man to witness quiescently the oppression of electors, or the at tempt to subdue their integrity, for a love of justice is a noble feature of Lord Howick's character, and the strong love of justice never fails to inspire the loftiest courage. It may happen that a man may be a Duke, and yet capable of the " sharp practice," as it is termed, which would disgrace a pettifogging attorney •, but a character of thiS sort should have a care of men of Lord Howick's sort, who will not be duped without exposing the deceit that has been played off upon them. In the moment of defeat, through foul means of more than one kind, Lord Howick must have felt— " It warms the very sickness of my heart, That I shall live to tell him to his teeth, ' Thus did'st thou." Now, though it was doubtless vastly pleasant to trick Lord Howick out of his seat, it was by no means equally agreeable to hear the denunciation of the conduct by which this dirty exploit was brought about ; and vehe mently do we suspect that, were all to be done over again, the great man of little ways would prefer leaving Lord Howick in possession of his seat, to the detriment which his own character has suffered from the method of oust ing him. Lord Howick was given to understand that the Duke of Northumberland did not intend to use his influence against him ; and that he was content that he repre sentation of the county should remain as it was in the last Parliament. Believing . that he was not to be op posed, Hord Howick was inactive, taken by surprise, and consequently defeated. Horace Walpole remarks, that the converse of Gray's reflection that a Milton or aCromwell may have been lost to the world in a ploughman, is applicable to the great, and in indifferent Bishops and judges excellent tailors and shoemakers may have been spoiled. So in the Duke of Nor thumberland, an attorney of sharp practice may have been lost to Thavies-inn ; but sharp as his practice in a sphere of life suitable to it might have been, there would have been wanting the degree of sharpness of intellect neces sary even to the making of a bad attorney, so that after all, following Horace Walpole's view, we do not see what could have been made of the Duke of Northumber land but the Duke of Northumberland, nor that any _ _ _ SHARP PRACTICE AND FOUL INFLUENCE. _ " Casualties—Cut her throat, murdered, 1 ; over laid, 1 ; smothered accidentally, 1.

Pants, Jeer 18, 1841.—The principal talk of the week in the French capital has turned upon the events of Toulouse, which, though they may he regarded as circumstances of only a lecrl nature, by politicians in other countries, are of serious importance in this. The Government has, throughout the whole matter, been decidedly in the wrong. M. Humana, the Finance Minister, found himself dreadfully hampered on coming into office with the enormous deficit which the expenses of the fortifications, and that most atrocious of all humbugging de ceptions le Gouvernement a bon marche, as interpreted by the wily despot at present on the throne of France, aua the swarms of his needy retainers whom, since the Revolution of 1830, he has raised into opulence. This deficit amounts, as is well known, and as the returns produced in the Chamber of Peers this Session showed, to nearly one thousand millions of francs, to meet which there is not a single sou, except what can be raised by the intended loan (450 millions, or not half the re quired amount) and from fresh taxes. Now the Chambers have not voted any fresh taxes, and the Government knew well that it was of no use asking for any. M. Humana, therefore, is bring ing forward his Budget of Ways and Means, gave it to be un derstood that he should use all possible measures for making the taxes as productive as possible. A good occasion presented itself in the taking of the census, for by making the population returns of the larger towns rather larger than they had hitherto been, a provision of the law would be laid hold of for increas ing their proportional rate of taxes. Thus a town of 28,000 inhabitants does not pay such a heavy proportional tax on cer tain articles as one of 30,000; and by including in the fixed numbers of the population, the floating numbers, such as the garrison, the patients from the adjacent districts in the cen tral hospital, the pupils from the country in the town schools, &c., it was obviously an easy matter to swell the population to the numbers required for the purposes of the Treasury. Thus if need should be, an extra regiment or two could be marched into any town, the population of which might be a thou sand or two under the mark, and up would go the return, and down would come the tax-gatherers. This was a notable expedient, quite worthy of the Charte-verite people ; but they had also got another, and that was to get the tax gatherers, and verifiers to be authorized to help the persons employed to take the census, on pretence that the latter are not numerous enough; and thus by letting these lynx-eyed re• tainers of the Treasury into each man's castellum, a golden op portunity would be afforded of looking over all the num bers of windows, doors, furniture, &c., and thus t f giving ground for an augmentation in the direct taxes. These manceuvres were almost immediately detected in the various provincial towns, and met with a stout opposition, when, though the Government did not expect it, there wan most likely to be a solid objection to anything that should become a question affecting the plus or minus of the pockets —we mean in the Municipa l Councils. The tradesmen and m anufacturers composing these bodies. would, of course, be the most affected by any increase of taxes : and thus at once set their . fa" aga i n st M. Humanns schemes with muc h resolution. Grenoble was the first town t o set the example—it was followe d by Marseilles, and most of the towns in the South of France_ by Strasburg and others in the East—by Caen and many mo re in the North — and last, not least, by Toulouse i n a t n h y e South-west. Here the municipality set themselves so strongly against thes e shabb y wa ys of picking their pockets, which w ere also not in a c c ordance with the positive stipulations of the fiscal co de that M.

The Government once entered on a bad line, and unable to retreat, has sent off to Toulouse a man more obnoxious, if possible, than Mahul, in the person of M. Maurice Duval, who was forced to leave Nantes, because he mad- himself so obnoxious to the respectable classes of that wealthy and enlightened city, and who has ob tained the cheap dignity of a Peer of France, as a reward for his readiness to do any dirty work the Government, that is "the beloved dynasty of Orleans," might have for him. This " rough and ready" personage has been despatched to the fated city, several regiments have been ordered to march upon it. and the tender mercies of the citizen King, the elected of the Barricades, will no doubt be showered upon the inhabitants for their moderate, and on the whole, laudable conduct. A curious episode of this affair is that an artillery officer who had threat ened to horsewhip the editor of the Liberal paper of Toulouse, the Emancipation, if he should criticise his conduct during the disturbances has been called out by the latter and shot gead ! Meanwhile, Government feels very uneasy about the feelings of the Republican party in Paris, and the " sword of Damocles" has been vibrating over the head of the old Bonze at Neuilly with unusual agitation for some days past." THE TORY PRESS AND THE PEEL CABINET. The loyalists, who have remained firm to their politics, and have therefore been affronted, and are to be turned out of their offices, will never vote with the Duke of Wellington again as long as he remains Premier, or Mr. Peel is in the Cabinet.—John Bull, March 15, 1829. Mr. Peel seems to have made a hit in the chief part of Sheil's play—the apostate.—Blachtrood's Magazine, Fe bruary, 1829. Mr. Peel will be the greatest sufferer in the end. His character is ruined for ever. No man will trust him amain. No acts of his future life — no services, however valuable, no personal sacrifices, however great—no cant ing, no whining, no sanctimonious deceit—can ever wash away the damned spot. He stands before the public the victim of his own mean ambition—the slave of his own avarice—the sacrifice which an aspiring family offer at the shrine of pensions and sinecures.—Aforning Journal, 'eb. 10, 1829. Should the sad necessity arise, however, we shall put into the hands of some Protestant nobleman the grounds of an impeachment (against Wellington and Peel), and the means of the substantiation of these grounds from the hands and from the oral evidence of some of the King's present Ministers.—Standard, Feb. 14, 1829. Mr. Peel is a hollow traitor, whose words are false- _ . hood, and nothing but falsehood. The father of lies him self never lied more shamefully than Peel, when he told the House that a change ought to be made so far back as 1825.—Age, March 8, 1829. As for Peel, his talents qualify him for no higher task than that of repealing Acts of Parliament which impose the penalty of death on people found to have kept com pany with Egyptians for an hour. He is a poor, creep ing, mechanical drudge. His political existence is sacri ficed. If the Duke turned him off to-morrow, of what possible harm could he be to his Grace's Administra tion ? He—he, the disgraced, the characterless, the " false, lying, perjured turn-coat"—he go into opposi tion ! No • he depends upon the good pleasure of the Duke. A:long as his Grace thinks his hapless victim of any use to him, so long may he cling to his place.— Age, Feb. 22, 1829. 0, Tories, dear Tories, who still are as true— In spite of defeat—and as trusty as steel, An apostate, a- trimmer, a rat is in view ; So after him, boys, and come spit upon Peel. —Blackwood's Itladazilie, June, 182 9. Mr. Peel is lost for ever as a statesman. His conduct stands undefended, indefensible. No party ever will, or e ver can, trust him again.—Glasgow Courier, 14th Feb.,l e B el 29 ,.and the bullies of his crew, it is needless to saf I y O a word when addressing a Christian community— since no nOn possessing a spark of moral or religious feeling, ever dared to insult the ear of his fellow-man by defending Judas Iscariot. Let the worm then sink into his native mud, a prey to " the worm that dieth not." We will never again disgrace our columns by the mention of the reptile's nan:e.—Leicester Herald, April 4, 1829. Mr. Peel has reali; fallen so low—he stands so de graded—he is so completely the jest of his new friends, and the butt of his old ones, that he cannot possibly be of the least use to any Ministry. He is a dead weight even upon that of the great Duke, his master.—Morning Journal, 9th June, 1829. The Protestant who puts his foot under the same council table as Peel, is disgraced for ever. Eject him, like a foul thing, from the Cabinet--he ought to be ejected from the society of gentlerneii , " Peel must be the Azazel, the scapegoat, sent forth for the sins of the Cabinet, loaded with the curses or the people —and we say, Amen.—Age, 19th July, 1829. %~ The Presbytery of Niagara, New York, . have passed a formal resolution, declaring that Byron's works and Bulwer's novels " are books of an infidel and licen tious character." There will be an immediate run for both. THE WEATHER.—Since St. Swithin's day, orr which rain fell in torrents, the weather has been warm, dry, and beautiful, and yesterday the thermometer stood at 70 degrees in the shade. The effect of these three days of warmth, acting upon the earth, which was al ready sufficiently watered, is already beneficially ap parent ; the pastures are rough and abundant ; the wheat in many parts is assuming the autumn tinge, and more has been done in this short space to forward and com plete the hay harvest, than for nearly three weeks pre viously.—Glasgow Herald. . SALE OF THE LIBRARY OF THOMAS THOMSON, ESQ., ADVOCATE.—The Bibliognostes and Bibliophiles of Edinburgh have recently had a banquet of delicacies spread before them, by the dispersion of _ this, the most complete historical library ever sold in Scotland. The sale commenced on the 28th ult., and flourished under the venditorial sceptre of Mr. C. B. Tait, during the space of thirteen days. The collection was rich in rare and privately-printed volumes, and the books, for the greater part, were in the most desirable condition, garmented in all the splendour of russia and many-coloured morocco bindings bravely gilt. The prices which they produced were proportionably smart, and the entire library realised nearly 3,oool.—Glasgow Herald. CURIOUS, IF TRUE.—The Phare of La Ro chelle has a communication from a correspondent at Surgeres in that country, that being in the fields a short time since, he observed a weasel come repeatedly to a plant called bouillon blanc (the mullein or torchweed), rub himself against it, and then run off again. The ob , server, in order to see the effect, pulled up the weed, and threw it to a distance. The weasel came again, and missing the plant, was g reatly agitated, and soon became swollen, and died. Folowing the direction the little animal had come from, the person soon descried a large viper, which, at hearing his footstep, erected itself as if expecting the return of the weasel, with whom, no doubt, he had had a battle. The conclusion come to was, that the plant mentioned is an antidote to the bite of veno mous creatures. The former Earl of Shrewsbury's brother, Hugh Talbot, a Catholic priest, is a very prominent character in the new and very striking historical romance called " The Old Earl and his Young Wife." This persecuted gentleman underwent strange adventures—suffered more from flagitious oppression—and, in his flight from the myrmidons of the heartless and crafty Minister, Lord Salisbury, had more curious and hairbreadth escapes than can be narrated of any other fugitive. In its lavish dis play of historical and invented character, and in the richness and contrast of its incidents, this new work of fiction will " give the world assurance of a novelist," in the best acceptation of that word. PREVALENCE OF A DISTRESSING DISEASE. —From accurate estimation it appears that the afflicting complaint of hernia, or rupture, exists in one person in eight throughout the whole male population of the king dom, and in a much greater proportion among the la bouring classes in the manufacturing districts, and those employed on the water as boatmen. In one district in the western part of England, comprising 200,000 inha bitants, it has been recently ascertained by actual ob servation, that one in every five of the population la boured under the malady. The Paris National states that corn has risen three francs since the 15th, in consequence of the excessive bad weather. SOUTH HACKNEY CHURCH-RATE.--• The poll has been decided to be in favour of the anti-Church-rate THE MORMONS. Mormonism is not in so full feather as it was supposed to be in Illinois. The Governor of that State has removed Bennett, the Mormon Adjutant-General, from his office, and Joe himself is in gaol in Missouri. Joe, however, recently issued a long " State paper" to his brotherhood of boobies, which is published in some of the papers. The following in his proclamation to the " outside bar barians." TO THE SAINTS ABROAD. The First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, anxious to promote the pros perity of the Church, feel it their duty to call upon the Saints who reside out of this county to make preparations to come in without delay. This i s im portant, and should be attended to by all who feel an interest in the prosperity of this the corner stone of Zion. Here the temple must be raised, the university be built, and other edifices erected which are necessary for the great work of the last days ; and which can only be done by a concentration of energy and enterprise. Let it therefore be understood, that all the stakes, ex cepting those in this county, and in Lee county, lowa, are discontinued, and the Saints instructed to settle in this county as soon as circumstances will permit. JOSEPH SMITH. Nauvoo, Hancock Co., 111., May 24, 1841. If Joe's troops are as cautious as such sensible vaga bonds as themselves should be, they will take care not to pull up " stakes" and " come in"• until they ascer tain whether the •' corner stone of Zion" is likely to get out of limbo. It is at present in some danger of going to the gallows or the whipping post, at one or the other of which destinations it will cer tainly arrive, if there be anything like even-handed justice in the criminal code of the State, and anything like good sense in administering it. At all events, if the many murders and other crimes that these creatures have committed, are visited upon the arch miscreant who ought to be made accountable for them, Mr. Latter-Day Smith will not long be left among the " Saints on Earth." —New .York Paler.
