It is the boast of the Tories that Sir R. PEEL'S Government is stronger than any Government since the days of Mr. PITT. We are not dis posed to deny that assertion, and the stronger it is the more conspicuous will be the success of the principles which will certainly triumph over it. Sir H. has been placed in office by the monopolists ; he is their creature, and he takes power to uphold their monopolies. He cannot succeed, and we hazard nothing in making the assertion. He and they aim at two incompatible things. They want more wealth for themselves and for the State, and more wealth for the people. At the same time they will not allow cf that free and strenuous exertion, by which alone the wealth of the State or the people can be in creased. Greater burdens than industry now bears it cannot sustain ; to feed the people, satisfy the monoeoiists, ant: I;eep up the revenue of the Ste one, and the same time, is not possible ; e 7 the peo - ple uia. tbe fed, and as industry cae Jot bear c.;:cli Clonal burdens, the monopo:ls.23 must give way. Sir ROBERT PEEL is in - fact already suspected by them, because they are sensible of the neces sities of ;:is condition. He is said to be, though we give no credit to the statement, preparing to rat from . ;he principles he took office to support. We know that he will, and must rat ; but he mill not as long as he can help it; and nothing has yet happened to influence his mean and coward soul. Generosity and magnanimity are strangers to him. He will condescend to repeal the Corn-laws when he finds them ruining the em pire. 1-le will give nothing, therefore, to justice --nothing to the people, while they are patient under a merciless law ; but he will grant all to fear, and all to his love of place and power. lie cannot yet be alarmed; he i s as yet quite secure in office, but he has avowed impossible principl es , an d t h e t i me will conic when Sir It. PEEL must again rat, or he will pull down the whole fu.bzic of political society. A l rea dy there are symptoms of disputes amongsthis followers.' The spoil, though large • not sufficient to satisfy and heavy, .is them all. R a bid Irish Protestants to whom Sir ROBERT owes so much of his suc cess, begin to complain of neglect. Neither BEAUFORT nor LONDONDERRY are satisfied. At the same time O'CoNNELL is rousing Ireland against the Ministry. England is not still. The distinction between obedience to the Royal authority, and obedience to the Tories who usurp it, and have obtained a mastership over the QUEEis:, is very generally made. Fiercely assailed as the Government soon will be on the one hand, and not very powerfully supported by the contending monopolists, who are arrayed around it, on the other, it will soon, however strong it may be, because it is not founded on justice, have to give way, and Sir ROBERT, to maintain his piece': must rat and become a free-trader. We be ready to admit him into our ranks, and pro tect him against his present allies, when he shows signs of `conversion ; but we do not look tbr them till he begins to feel the vast difficulties of now attempting to govern the country in oppo sition to political science and Christian inmulity. Some r ova Ye ben c" -- ;cied to look to Mr. RoEsuc. - .; - . es a great: id eats :on :4eiable eloqc?.. - .:ce, and. un :esoluiloa, the - _:,_on.

He might have CP.AWFOE,D to p.'o ceed Ia slier.e3 A.meadrneat to the Address, if he li:on2; : nt it was imp:.:Aent to sup port him. He mlg : Lt .aave Gu33ested an altera tion in the Pour-LW wiCno:lt making the propo- I sition to place an its vast powers over the ' persons of paupers, and the property of rate payers, in the hands of the Home Seci.etary. He might last night have shown his contempt for the Times ; he might even have brought :the case oc that journal before the House without losing his temper, and might at least so have rne. - aa,-.. , ( 1 . :As case as to ensure a seconder for his motioa. Questions of privilege are generally attentively i listened to by the House, and he must have I failed very much in bringing his ceEe under its notice, to make ititurn a deaf ear to his state ments. Nobody can defend the attack of the Times. It was wanton, uncalled for, and altogether per sonal. It was not dictated by any defence of a principle. Mr. ROEBUCK offends the Times, like every other person in a similar situation, by possessing power. That is an unpardonable of fence. Mr. ROEBUCK has now only added to its triumph, and strengthened his enemy. He has given i t additional notoriety; he has paid a mortify ing homage to its power, and he has failed to inflict the smallest wound on it. The Times will have reason to-day to laugh at Mr. ROEBUCK. Such indiscretion on the part of the Hon. Gentleman, who seems, we are afraid, irritable from disease, will have a considerable influence on his future position, and prevent people placing that confi dence in him which in general they think they must place in some one. The Morning Post of yesterday places its de fence of the Corn-laws on a ground which is worthy of notice. We quote the paragraph : If it were true that no principles but the principles of trade were fairly applicable to the Corn-law question, then there would be an end of the controversy. The Corn-laws are undoubtedly a restraint upon trade. They are unquestionably a limitaticn, and a very important limitation, of its freedom. But other things more im portant to this nation than absolute and universal free dom of trade demand that native agriculture should be, up to a certain point, guarded from the probable effect of unrestricted foreign competition. Our party does not try the question of the Corn-laws by the principles of free trade, for we admit that the Corn-laws are in direct opposition to these principles. It is not because we think we can reconcile the Corn laws with free trade that we support them, but it is be cause we have grounds of policy to urge in their ..iapport which completely overbalance in their weight and co • gency the disadvantage of making corn an exception to the operation of free trade principles. Free trade recognises nothing beyond the policy of obtaining what you want, wherever you (the individua engaged in traffic) can obtain it best and cheapest at the moment. Upon merely mercantile principles there is nothing to be said against the sound policy of this plan. But they who have to watch over all the wants and in terests of a naziaa, and not only their immediate but also their prospective wants and interests, must look to something far more important than that which upon mere mercantile principbs is best. They must look to the employment of the people—to the security of a suffi cient supply of food in futuro as well as is p;.cesenti— and to the guardianship of great capital vested in concerns which are not purely mercantile. And be cause they hold these considerations in view, and deem it politic to allow a greater weight of importance to them than to the principles of free trade they uphold the Corn-laws. If the opponents of the laws will faiily meet the sti?- porters of them, they are bound to show either that the considerations above stated are less important than those which belong to the universal maintenance of the prin ciples of free trade, or that the ebjects we have set forth, namely, security as to the national supply of food, em ployment of the people, and guardianship of vested capital, are as well promoted by free trade as by pro tection of native agriculture against foreign competition. For these admissions this paragraph is valuable. " The Corn-laws are a restraint upon trade." " The Corn-laws cannot be reconciled with free trade." " Upon merely mercantile principles there is nothing to be said against the sound policy. of free trade." So far the Post. Now no one doubts that commerce is beneficial to man kind. It forms a great part of the natural order of society. It is as much ordained by the GREAT CREATOR of man as the appetites and wants to which it owes its origin. Mercantile principles are nothing but the principles or rules on which beneficial commerce must be carried on. They, therefore, are parts of creation, like commerce itself, and are ordained by the wisdom of Pro vidence. But commerce concerns some of the greatest and best interests of the human race. The Post admits that the Corn-laws contravene these interests, and we must therefore conclude, were the other interests it refers to really in con tradiction with these important interests, which they are not, that there is discord in the crea- tion, and that the ALMIGHTY had given his creatures contradictory rules to walk by, or had imposed on them contradictory laws. We hold the admission that the Corn-laws contravene mercantile principles, which are admitted to be sound policy, to be fatal to the Corn-laws. But the Post flies from the solid interests of mankind, which are connected `with commerce, to principles of greater weight than the prin ciples of free trade. The Pro-Corn-law men undertake to " watch over all the wants and interests of a nation," and not only their imme diate but prospective wants. " They, therefore, must look to the employment of the people—to the security of a sufficient supply of food in futuro, as well as in prcesenti, and to the guardianship of great capital vested in concerns which are not purely mercantile." On these grounds the Corn-laws are defended. They give employment and secure a supply of food in future, and protect capital not mercantile. We hope we may be indulged in examining these assumptions, and if our examination should go beyond the Corn-laws, it will be because the statement of the Post naturally and necessarily involves the general principles of legislation. The Pro-Corn-lawmen must look to the em ployment of the people." That is the fist proposition. If it be valid, it applies to the whole people, not merely to the few persons em ployed in agriculture. The Pro-Corn-law men undertake, by adopting that principle, to pro vide employment for all the people, and they are consequently to blame for the want of em ployment, which is at this moment felt in almost every branch of society except that of manufac turing modern machinery. They are. responsible on their own showing, for the condition of the starving hand-loom weavers. Mr. MALTHUS has clearly demonstrated the absurdity of the State taking on itself to provide em ployment for all the people, though the wisdom of the masters of political science seems wholly unknown to the gentlemen who write for the press. The vast responsibi lity which is involved in the Post's statement, and the present condition of many labourers, ought to make the Pro-Corn-law men start back with affright from the load they have most unthinkingly taken on themselves. But when the Post says that the Legislature is to, look to the employment of the people it can have formed no correct notion of the knowledge of the Legislature, arid of the means of employ ing the people. Much more than half our popu lation are now engaged, in manufactures, and they find employment in them. frem the number less beautiful contrivances which facilitate human labour. Before the steam-engine, the spinning mules, or the locomotive engine were brought into use, how was it possible for the legislator to know any thing of the number of people he would employ and feed How is it possible for him even now, as the applications of mach'nery are infinitely various, to form the least notion of the quantity or the nature of the employment they will provide in future for the population? How, too, can he tell that there are not at this moment machines coming forward which may extend manufacturing employment as much during the next fifty years as it has been emc.3 .1( 1 A during the last fifty? He knows nothing NI , : ever on the subject. And to make laws with a _ - v iew to provide employment for the peoire ; independently of numerous other objections to it, is making laws in complete ignorance of the subject on which the laws are lime-. That, unfortunately, is a frequent error, or fre quent crime of legislators, who are far rro e ignorant than the most wretched quacks, 17h0 exhibit at a village fair the vast phenom? - 2e they pretend at once to arrange and seale. At the same time, supposing that the had any knowledge of the weans of caiplo jiTg• the people, and supposing that it wis his dcty to interfere in any way their emplo, - ,':neat, which we positively de: , v, how does inr;ee. - ':?; n getting food add to their employment?

It puts c etrp, therclze, to employment of Cai.i:;DS and ceileay, and it will require ingenuity - Caz:n the Post possesses, to prove the Corr-law may at any future time create a quz . . - atity of employment equal to that it interdict*. Supposing 1: has that effect, by what right does a Legislature curtail employ ment in Sheffield Manchester, to add to it in Sussex and Ke.:.t ? By what right does it take away a day's labour Crom a hand-loom weaver or 'a knife-grinder, to give it to a. ploughman or a ditcher It has no right so to act, particularly wl:Ta it is ignorant of the consequences, and the weave:. and grinder may properly - stigmatize it as an unjust Legislature, which forfeits its claims to their respect and obedience. At the same time it is certain that the attempt of the Legislature to add to the whole amount of employment by Corn-laws has not had any such effect. What may be the result of the pre sent census cannot yet be known ; but the last . census showed that the increase of families em ployed in agriculture was as nothing compared to the increase of families employed in manu factures. In fact, all the improvements of which we hear so much from agricultural societies tend ' to diminish employment in agriculture, and con sequently, while the Corn-law obviously curtails employment in the manufacturing districts, it has not added, and does not add, to employment in the agricultural districts. The produce of one labourer is in all cases/;the market for another, and unless it can be shown that by preventing the growth of manufactures the amount of pro duce to be exchanged for the produce of the agriculturist is increased, it is impossible that stopping employment in the manufacturing dis tricts can stimulate agriculture, or increase in the smalles degree the employment of the agri cultural labourers. The Post further says" that the Legislature must look to the security of a sufficient supply of food in futuro as well as in prcesenti." To that doctrine similar objections apply. What does the Legislature know about supplying the people with food, either now or hereafter ? Chemistry is continually revealing new princi ples of cultivation, and the mechanic arts are continually bringing new powers to bear even in agriculture. What did the Legislature of the year 1790 know of many of the processes now employed in agriculture ; such as the use of bone-dust as a manure? But those processes, and diligence in applying them, with skill to invent improved processes, are the great means of securing our ever-increasing people a supply of food in future. If the Legislature now know nothing of the processes that will be invented within the next fifty years, how can it make laws to promote . them? The supposition that blind groupings in the dark can in any way tend to the national welfare, is an insult to rational beings. It is one of those routine or traditional opinions which are received from generation to generation, and are no sooner sub jected to examination than they are discovered to be plain and palpable errors. There is an idea lurking in the doctrine of the Post which must be dragged into day. What does it mean by security ? Not the continuance of the skill of agriculturists, and of their never failing desire to apply it. To have any appre hensions on that score would be to violate the in structive belief, by which one class of producers continually labour in perfect confidence that what they require and do not themselves produce, will, in the meantime, be produced by another class.. What the Pest is afraid of, or pretends to be afraid of, is that at some time or other some rival politicians here ana. abroad—some TRIERS and PALMERSTON, some ABERDEEN and NES.. SELRODE, may quarrel and choose tointerdict the exchange of spun and woven or forged ar ticles for bread. To be provided against that future possibility they interdict the exchange now. They treat man, with all his feelings and interests, as made for their stupid system, and they crush the commerce which would knit na tions together in the bonds of peace, and thus annihilate the wealth which would make nations happy, in o rder to maintain their own power. Let them take care lest, by pushing to extremes the power which men have hitherto respected, and the systems they have rather obeyed than understood, they destroy themselves. If men must be enslaved to give a fancied security to politicians, men will doubt whether politicians be not injurious rather than beneficial, and they will ask themselves can they be dispensed with? The third statement of the Post is, that free trade, which it admits to be a wise policy, must be sacrificed to give security to capital not vested in concerns purely mercantile. What does the Pro-Corn-law writer mean? How will any kind of capital not mercantile be rendered insecure by the abolition of the Corn-laws ? The capital in vested in land consists in the farm buildings erected on it, and the labour invested in it. How will any alteration of the Corn-laws destroy farm houses or stop up drains ? Not one particle of the capital invested in land would be destroyed by a perfectly feee trade in corn. It might become of less exchangeable value. At present that value, of which we complain, is raised by the Corn-law, which is expressly passed to enable the owners of capital invested in land to obtain more of other things in exchange for it, and for its produce, than other men would freely give. The diminution of the exchangeable value which would result from the abolition of the Corn-law is only the consequence of the fictitious value given by that law. To assert that the Legisla ture must maintain this fictitious value under the fine phrase guardianship of capital, is to assert that it must maintain the unjust Corn-law. If the Post have no other reason to give than that, it ends where it began, and merely echoes the landlords' arrogant words, " I will have the Corn-laws because I will." When the legislators set blindly about regu lating employment, securing a supply of food, and guarding capital, they and the public seem to forget that they are subject to passions and impure desires, like the meanest of the people. It is very true, though very trite, that when they debate and argue, they are no more under the influence of pure reason than a com pany of ladies at Billingsgate. The victo rious party in a legislative conflict, when it blindly plunges, with its dictum engrossed on parchment, into the unknown future, essaying to bind the yet unborn and unknown, only follows the dictate of its own desires and passions. It endeavours to make them the rule for the conduct of future generations. In the present case the fact is palpable. The law-making land owners knew nothing whatever, when they passed the law ; they know nothing now about finding employment and securing food for the peo ple. What they knew was, that they wanted higher rents, or wanted to prevent rents from falling; they wanted to maintain a superiority over other men, and to gratify that want they passed the Corn-law. It had no other origin ; it has no other justification. It is their avarice engrossed on parchment, and is no more deserving the public respect than the lust which led Mr. FAUNTLEROY to the gallows. The Post must find some other grounds on which he defends a law opposed to the wise policy of free trade, than propriety of looking to employment, looking `o the means of securely feeding the people, and be maintenance of the landowners' rents at their present level.

T..7.e whole of '‘,7.le Paris Journals of Tuesday ha7e reached us. Their contents are of little political interest. The Courr:.er Francais has a very sensible article commenting upon the re monstrance of the Frenc% Minister at Washing ton, against the imposition of a 20 per cent. ad valorem duty upon French manufactures ad mitted into the United States. The Minister had hinted at a French policy of reprisals in the shape of excluding cotton, the staple of the Southern States, from French ports. The Courrier very sensibly condemns such a proposal. "We must not reply to an impolitic measure," observes that Journal, "by a measure still more impolitic. Because the United States impose a duty of 20 per cent. upon our silks, and the articles of French manu facture, and increase the already excessive duties upon our wines, are we to shout out their cotton and tobacco ? We must not forget that if our exports consist principally of manufactured goods, the exports of . the United States consist principally of raw materials necessary for manu factures. By raising the duty upon cotton, we should but aggravate the position of our manu facturers, and make it still more difficult for them to compete with foreigners." This is quite cor rect. Any additional import duty upon cotton from the United States would destroy altogether 5112 cotton manufactures in France. ft is true that France might: import cotton from Egypt, but independently of - ,he inadequacy of the supply, the Egyptian cotton is only suited to a limited number of coarse fabrics. And if to evade the direct import duty, the cotton of the United States was shipped to Liverpool and thence re shipped to Havre, the heavy port dues upon fo- reign vessels and other incidental charges would thrm the whole carrying trade into the hands of British and American traders. This would inflict a very serious injury upon the French shipping, which, although we would profit, we are not the less desirous to point out. Much as French . Journalists suspect our friendship, we truly affirm that we woule prefer seeing France adopting a wise and liberal commercial policy to any prospect of our profiting or her errors. The French Minister of Marine is reported to have ordered eight ships of the line to be pieced in ordinary. The squadron under Rear-Ad miral CASY, consisting of six ships of the line, is preparing to put to sea. The aspect of affairs in America, in Syria, in Candia, and in Tunis, is too threatening to admit of an immediate naval disarmament. _ The Revue des _Deux Monde and the Journal des Debats are at loggerheads about the foreign policy of France. The form er panegyrizes M. TuiEns, the latter lauds ilr. GUIZOT. The one is ail for a war of Revolutionary Propagandism, the other fur a return to the absolutist policy of the elder Bourbons. Both are 1 - nistaken ; but as the c:uestion is rather a French abstraction than a matter of fact, we shall not enter into it. We notice it here to indicate the class of subjects which now engage the pens o:Trench Journalists. Some curious - details of the incidents which led to the evacuation of die M:titary [Hospital at' Mahon are noticed hi the French Journals. It appears that the notification that the Spanish Government would not renew the lease of the island, was not made direct to the French either by the Spanish Ambsssador at Paris, or through the French Minister at Madrid, but through the Governor of the Hos pital and the Consul at Patina. M. GuizoT was exceedingly indignant at this procedure, which he represented to the Spanish Govern ment as insulting to France. The Spanish au thorities shuffled out of the affair as best they . could. M. GONZALES pretended that the Span ish Government was not at all aware of what had taken place, but that an inquiry would be substituted and the persons implicated would be punished. To this M. GuizoT replied that inquiry was useless ; as, after such au insult, "France would not renew the lease. It is possible that the Spanish Cabinet thought a more respectful mode of proceeding would be met by excuses which a friendly power would find it difficult to resist. But by wounding the pride of France the surrender was immediate, and the removal of the sick almost instantaneous. The storm at first raised against the census is now lulled in almost every part of France. The Government has triumphed, but in order not to push matters to extremity no new taxes will be imposed, nor any modification of existing taxes will take place before the meeting of the Chambers. Meanwhile the fortification of Paris advances rapidly. The KING ex presses astonishment and delight at the ce lerity with which the works are progressing. Monarchical France disfigured her capital but with one Bastile ; Republican France glories in the elevation of fourteen, and a wall of circurn vallation mounting 2,000 pieces of cannon! And to this is French freedom 1 The Romish Vicar-General of Cochin-China in a letter to the Holy See reports the death of the Emperor MINGH-MENGH, so infamous for his persecution of the Christians. During the last ten years of his reign, many thousands of Christians, numbers of them of high rank, were tortured, and put to the most cruel - deaths for professing • the religion of CHRIST. The Priests were everywhere sought out and murdered. The writer expresses a hope tilat with the death of this tyrant will terminate these cruel persecutions. PARIS, SEPT 7.—The Earl and Countess of Gran ville leave Paris in the course of a fortnight for Nice, where the Noble Earl proceeds for the benefit of his health, and, is all probability, will sojourn during the winter. The Count de Chazelles and M. Desmireil, who have recently been appointed delegates of Guadaloupe, have announced their acceptance of the office to the Minister of Marine and Colonies ; and have been re ceived in private audience by seveaal of the Ministers. The Atalanta frigate has arrived at Brest from Brazil. The King of Hanover, on passing through Cologne, re ceived the Directors of the Cologne and Aix-la- Chapelle railroad, and expressed a favourable opinion as to its proposed elongation to Hanover. A Royal Ordinance, dated Eu, 24th inst.,hasdissolved the National Guard of Villenouville, near Toulouse, which had sent an address to the National Guards of the latter town, congratulating them on their conduct dur ing the disturbances. Another ordinance of the 20th has dissolved the Na tional Guard of Montesquieu-Volvestre, for the same cause. The following are some particulars which have transpired respecting the Council of Ministers held on as we annotounfac Sunday :-- " The Council was engaged only about the qUestion serious cireum cessary to be published, in the first place, to satisfy the and not demands of the Powers, and especially of England; and of disarming, which was resolved on as a measure ne ceidlitasottneethdea)oyseargato7tnhs,e bcyommpeaannsyotfowmh,hicichh, M.

The death of Mingh-Afengh, Emperor of Cochin- China, is announced in the French Journals of Tuesday. This tyrant persecuted the Christians for ten years with more than Japanese cruelty. His common mode of ex terminating them was by crucifixion. His death is re garded at Rome as a special interposition of Heaven in favour of the Church. His successor is stated to be a very tolerant Prince. The storm which burst over London on Friday last was felt at the same time over every part of France. At Lille the lightning struck a tree within forty yards of the powder magazine. Had it reached the magazine, the destruction would have been terrific. The affair of Didier of Grenoble is again revived. Up wards of eighty letters written by the Duke de Decazeb have been discovered. The Commerce begs that no pains may be spared to clear up this myste rious transaction. It might be much better to bury it altogether in oblivion—at least during the life-time of the principal actors in it. These are truths which the world is the better for not knowing. The Hungarian papers announce the creation of a National Hungarian Bank at Pest. The Editor of a Dusseldorf Journal has been con demned to six months' imprisonment, and deprivation of civil rights for five years, for a defamation of a private individual. , The sentence involves the suppression of the journal. The Duke of Bordeaux according to a medical certificate published in the Augsburgh Gazette, will be perfectly restored. The bones of the broken limb are perfectly united, and the length and form of the limb are the same as before the accident occurred. There is now no appre hension of any unpleasant consequences to be entertained. The cure will be complete, and the fracture will leave no trace. We learn from Madrid of the 31st that the Spanish authorities had not the boldness to tell the French Go vernment that it must evacuate the Isla del Hey at Mahon. It secretly ordered the local authorities at Minorca to inform the French there to evacuate the island at the termination of the lease, on that mode of proceeding being communicated to M. Guizot. he expressed his astonishment and displeasure to M. Hernandez, the Spanish Minister at Paris. The Spanish Government, on hearing that the affair had taken a reverse turn, sought to throw the blame on the local authorities, but M. Guizot, as he did not wish, under all circumstances, to retain the island, against which Great Britain had remonstrated, would not be appeased, and declared that the French Government would eva cuate the island on the expiration of the lease, and re move the sick to the Hyeres Islands. PAR.LIAMENTARY. The Royal Assent was last night given by Commission to the Earl of Scarborough's Indemnity Bill, and the Peers then adjourned to the 20th instant. All the new writs were moved for last night in the Commons, on account of the Ministers taking office. We were surprised' also to observe that Mr. Warburton vacated his seat for Bridport. Perhaps disliking to sit in a corrupt assembly, or perhaps the petition presented against his return on account of some informality, may have led to his resignation. Mr. Alderman Thompson also has vacated Sunderland, in order to prepare for Westmore land. Sir George Anson, too, retires from Lichfield, in order to preserve his situation in the household of Prince Albert. Mr. Roebuck complained of an article in the Times. as a breach of privilege, failed in his attack, and added to the power of that formidable journal. Sir George Clerk signified that when the First Lord of the Treasury was in his place on the 16th inst., that Right. Hon. Baronet would state what course he meant to pursue. The world waits for Sir Robert Peel. 'he Administration of Justice Bill was read a first time, with the approbation of both sides of the House, which adjourned to the 16th inst. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post says :—" The Whigs may say what they please of the domineering and exclusive temper of the Conservative party, but the public know that such representations are not true. The Conservative party is not founded upon the principle of exclusion, or mono poly, or preference of this or that great interest, but it is founded on the inclusive principle—on the principle of bringing together all whose views of improvement may be brought within the circle of respect for existing institu tions and theprinciples of the constitution as now settled." —The " views of improvement"of the Tory Cabinet are just about as extensive as the views that one gets of a landscape through a small - hole in a brick wall. The Ministry is decidedly a monopolist one, based on the stand-still system of policy, and have scarcely one sound, healthy feeling in common with the bulk of the commu nity. The appointment of the Duke of Buckingham is a proof that they will not err on the side of liberality ; and in the adhesion of Sir James Graham we have a voucher that principle will not go for much in their esti mation. In a word, the Government is a patch-work combination of political Sectarians and Exclusives, which will drop to pieces the instant that the link of self interest which now binds them together, is broken. • The Advertiser gives the following sketch..of Lord Lyndhurst :—" Lord Lyndhurst, though the least noisy of the leading men in the medley Ministry, is one from whom the popular cause has perhaps as much to dread as from any Member of it. He is cool, calculating, and cunning ; so insidious in his designs, that even those in most frequent and familiar intercourse with him, are as little liable as others to have their suspicions ex cited. In this respect he is more dangerous than Sir Robert Peel himself ; and what aggravates the evil of Lord Lyndhurst's admission into the new Cabinet, is the intensity of the hatred which he bears to everything which wears the semblance of popular principles. He is the most noted apostate of the numerous apos tates with which the Peel Administration abounds."— This is no exaggerated portrait. Lord Lyndhurst started in life as a " Whig and something more"—that is to say, he had a strong leaven of republicanism about him; he then veered round and joined the ultra-Tory party; but finding that they were declining in influence, he attached himself to the fortunes of the more Liberal Tories, then headed by Canning. He next deserted them, and joined Peel and Wellington, with whom he has since continued to act; and whose obsequious tool he will continue to be, till he finds it his interest to jump Jim Crow once more. He is undoubtedly an able man, but whenever mischief is brewing, he is sure to be among the first to stir the cauld ron. Like his illustrious prototype, he is always busy in a high wind. The Times resumes its praises of the Tory Ministry as follows :—" An immense body of the constituencies in each of the three United Kingdoms are appealed to a second time, on behalf of the constitutional principles which they so nobly contended fur in the late contest ; nor have we a doubt that their former choice, both as regards measures and men, will be eagerly ratified, ' without exception, by the return of all the Members of the new Ministry who now solicit a renewal of their confidence. Among their many titles to public support arising from their talents, character, and aptitude for business, the perfect disinterestedness by which they are actuated in undertaking the labours and responsibilities of office must, doubless, be a paramount consideration in recommending them to . the renewed suffrages of the eleetors."— To speak of the " perfect disinterestedness" of such men as the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Lyndhurst, and Sir James Graham, is a perfect absurdity, at which they themselves will be the first to laugh. We would give something to see their faces while reading such hypocri tical eulogiums ; they would manage, no doubt, to pre serve their gravity till they came to the words " perfect disinterestedness," when Sir James Graham would be sure to burst into a shout of laughter, only to be equalled in violence and duration by the sympathetic roar of Lord Lyndhurst. Xothing indeed can be richer than the idea of the " perfect disinterestedness' of a man who, not five years ago, publicly avowed his " utter want of confi dence" in a , Premier whom lie now joins heart and soul! In reference to Sir Robert Peel's Irish appointments, the Chronic"! observes :—" lie has dared to send to Ire land as Lord Lieutenant a man whose connection with one of the most notorious Orange officials in that coun try, it might have been supposed would have sufficed to mitigate the hostility of the extreme party. But no. Lord de Grey, though the brother-in-law of an Orange grand master, had not yet passed the ordeal by which Lord liaddiugton had been duly qualified, and already is ,the new Lord Lieutenant warned of the fate that awaits him, so surely as he dares to govern Ireland in a spirit of moderation or impartiality. Lord Eliot is, we believe, a selection as little objectionable as Sir Robert Peel could well have made. Yet for Lord Eliot's suspected moderation, the appoint ment of 'such men as Blackburne and Jackson is not deemed a sufficiently bigotted counterpoise !" The Orange party are already up in arms against Sir Robert Peel, and with these attacking him on one side, and the O'Connellites on the other, he will have a plea sant and tranquil time of it. A bold, vigorous Tory would, have sided with the Orangemen, and at least have had one class to back him through thick and thin ; but the Right Hon. Baronet is not a bold Tory ; he is a tricky, timid time-server, who by endeavouring to trim between two parties, and oscillate, like a pendulum, now to one, and now to the other, will disgust both. The following is from the Herald :—" It is a distin guishing trait of a great portion of the Irish people that their political differences are greatiy embittered, and their party virulence vastly augmented, by the distribu tion of public patronage ; and this jealousy does not so much arise from selfishness as fr om the disproportion existing between the adherents to the State religion and to the Dissenting faith. While, then, in claims to office and public preferment, the principles on which Sir R. Peel must govern Ireland will not allow of any inquiryinto the religious belief of the claimants to place, it will be the bounden duty of those who administer the affairs of Ireland to investigate most strictly their secular qualifi cations ; and although a disbelief in those vital points of faith whi c h mar k th e separat i on of the Church of Ireland from the Romish sect, cannot be allowed to be a bar to preferntent, yet the respectable, the peaceable, the orderly, and the m: Berate citizen, must at all times be chosen when placed in competition with the disaffected, the turbi dent, the agitating and mere trading politician." the Shefj:el.l Iris observes, in reference to the appoint ment ef the new Ministry :—"The bitter as Bowring remarked, isas been presented to the people , ' but they refuse to drink, and Sir "iobert may enact a second Peterloo, or do justice to Ireland by sending more soldiers and cartridges among them, and still thy will refuse. The cons ciousness of their own might i s now before them, and a declining revenue, and an increase of taxation, a falling trade, and an increase of misery, will forge weapons more formidable than sabres and musketry." We quote the following from the Cambridge Adverti ser:—" Looking at the materials which compose the Tory Cabinet, we easily discern the elements of disrup tion and decay. There arc the honest and the dishonest —the consistent and the renegade—the moderate and trinuninq politician, and the man of obstinate measures— it comprises even the fool and the man of genius. Such unwrought and discordant materials cannot mix toge ther ; and although a Tory Government may continue a few years, we predicate a speedy end to the Ministry as at present constituted." COMMERCIAL REF OEM. A preliminary meeting of the Reformers of Holloway was held at the Cock Tavern, Highgate-hill, on Wednes day last, for the formation of an Auxiliary Corn-law Association. After an energetic address of two hours by Mr. Sidney Smith, it was agreed to call another meet ing for the same purpose that day week. At a recent meeting held at Chichester, in the Inde pendent Chapel of that city, the Rev. W. Malden, on his return from Manchester, gave an eloquent account of the Conference. The following resolution was seconded and unanimously passed :—" That in the opinion of this meeting the Conference of Christian Ministers lately held in the town of Manchester is entitled to the thanks of the nation, that their proceedings were characterised by Christian kindness towards the poor, and that it is the duty of the city of Chichester to petition the Legislature to repeal those laws which restrict the supply of food to the people." At a religious service held in Hackney on Monday last, in reference to the Corn-laws, Dr. Pye Smith gave a history of the Corn-laws, and pointed out their perni cious effects. 11.G1XCULTUrailL. The floods of rain which came down on Friday and Saturday last caused the Severn to rise most rapidly, laying the adjoining lands under water. The coldness of the season, added to these rains, has been exceedingly unfavourable to the harvest. In Worcestershire the barley crop has been mostly carried, but will not be a heavy one. Of wheat, even on the early soils, there will be scarcely an average per acre. Oats are good, peas a fair crop, and turnips look well. SCXENCE AND ART. At a late sitting of the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M. Colladon gave an account of experiments made on the Lake of Geneva relative to the prop aga ti on o f so u nd. Under favourable circumstances he considers sound may be transmitted through the sea for a distance of 60 Eng lish miles. LAW ANI POLICE. At Worship-street on Wednesday, Lewis Ashford and Benjamin Valentine, Jews, were charged with having assisted in the robbery of the creditors of David Cha poski, a Polish Jew, trimming-manufacturer at Bethnal green. Ashford had been employed by Chaposki to go about the country to sell tassels, fringe, &c., and about five weeks since, being provided with 401. worth of these goods, obtained a free passage to Sydney. His employer heard of this, and obtained a warrant, which was exe cuted in Holland previous to the day he was about to leave for England, and he was brought to London with part of Chaposki's propert•. Next day, when the charge was brought against him, the prisoner accused his em ployer with being as guilty as himself, since which Cha poski has not been heard of. Valentine was apprehended on a charge of being an accomplice of Chaposki's, who had become a bankrupt last April, and assigned all his property to his creditors ; but the articles produced, as well as other hidden property, were not in the schedule presented to the Court. The prisoners were committed for trial at the ensuing Central Criminal Court. John Quin, and a well-known beggar, named Hogg, were charged at Marlborough-street for attempting to obtain money from several Members of Parliament, by representing themselves as inhabitants of the different boroughs which they represented, and soliciting alms. They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment. An application was made at Lambeth-street, on the part of the Teetotallers accustomed to assemble on the first floor of a large building in Glasshouse-yard, Rose mary-lane. Mr. Jacks, who occupied the lower part of the building, as a wine and spirit merchant, had ignited a quantity of straw at the bottom of the stairs, with the in tention of " burning the teetotal Paddies out." Mr. Jacks, in defence, complained of the nuisance occasioned to him by hundreds dancing Irish jigs over his head, and by the vibrations breaking his bottles. The annoyance being thus pro and con, the Magistrate said he should put the law in force against the party first offending next time. Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., the City Police Com missioner, has ordered that no police constable in future have power to enter a dwelling to make search without a Magistrate's order. ELECTIONEERING. James Acland, Esq., has addressed a printed circular to the electors of Tamworth, calling on them to support him as a candidate against Sir Robert Peel. The attention paid by the Liberal electors of North Northumberland to the registration will effectually pre clude the return of two Tories againl_ Mr. Gisborne, formerly M.P. — for Derbyshire, is to op pose Mr. Gladstone for Newark. SPORTING. Owing to the lateness of the harvest shooting did not commence about Cambridge till Monday. . Sportsmen complain of the scarcity of birds, doubtless arising from the wetness of the season. One sportsman states that in a field in this county nearly fifty young partridges were found, which had no doubt perished from the inclemency of the weather. COURT- rasinowans.E. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston leave town to- day for Broadlands, inHamßshire. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have left town for Trentham Hall, Staffordshire. The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland intend passing the Autumn at Newton Houses, their seat at Yorkshire. The Earl of Derby is now in the enjoyment of better health than he has had for some years past. The Marquis of Londonderry left town on Tuesday. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne left town yesterday for Bowood. The Dowager Countess of Essex intends to visit Rome, and winter at Naples. Viscount Melbourne will leave town on Saturday for Woburn Abbey. Lord and Lady John Russell intend to pass the autumn at Endsleigh Cottage, Devonshire. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Phi lippsthal left town yesterday morning, on a visit to the Queen Dowager, at Sudbury Hall. He travelled by the London and Birmingham Railway. Mr. Henry Labouchere, late President of the Board of Trade, arrived at Antwerp on the 3d inst. by the Soho steamer. MISCELLANEOUS. The Standard observed a few days ago that the Mi nisters had been invited to dine at Claremont, but some of them having pressing engagements in town, declined the honour. Now it happens that they did not decline the honour, for they had not the opportunity of doing so. The truth is, they were not asked ! Eight minutes of Sir Robert Peel's conversation seems to have been quite as much as her Majesty could endure in one day. The annual festival of the National Shimming So ciety took place yesterday at the Green Man Tavern, in Oxford-street.--Sir Robert Peel should take lessons in swimming of this society, in order that he may be enabled to keep himself afloat on the troubled waters into which he has just plunged. An Irish Orange paper has already made the discovery that Sir Robert Peel "is no Solomon." We beg our Contemporary's pard on . Th e T am wort h Quack is a Solomon, but—like his famous brother Quack of Liver pool—he is a Doctor Solomon ! POTATICAL. We understand that Sir Edward Sugden is to be the new Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Colonel Percival has resigned the office of a Lord of the Treasury, and accepted that of a Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Lords. The new Lord of the Treasury is to be J.

EVENING SUN EXPRESS FROM PARIS, 1 The Moniteur Parisi announces that the negotiations commenced with the Belgian Com missioners, on the subject of the treaty of com merce, had not been broken off, as stated by a morning journal, that a conference was held be tween them and the Minister of Commerce On, Tuesday, and that on e o f th e C omm i ss i on ers had set out fbr Brussels to procure certain documents judged necessary for the negotiations. The Toulonnais of the sth inst. mentions as pa" sitive that six ships of the line under Admiral Casy would shortly sail for Brest, and that the rest of Admiral H ugon's squadron will probablY be ordered to Tunis, " where British influence was daily gaining ground." The ships Trident and Hercules suddenly put to sea on the 4th, for, it was believed, the Belearic Islands. At A vesnes, on the lst inst., the people rose in arms against the revenue agents, who had come to execute the census, and compelled than to retire. • Great preparations were making at Neuiily for a grand dinner to be given by the King in per son to the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry, ei which his son, the Duke d'Aumale, is Colonel. The guests are expected to amount to upwards of 3,000. M. Kaufmann had left Brussels on a commer cial mission from the Belgian Government to Spain. Our private accounts from Madrid of the Ist inst. state, that the anniversary of the revolution of September was celebrated that day w ith great eclat and enthusiasm on the part of the people' The reception given to Espartero by the troops and National Guards proves that the Regent has not fallen in their estimation. The Gazette publishes a decree which extend!, the amnesty of the 30th of November last to al; Carlist soldiers and officers below the rank 0 ' Colonel, on conditiari ;that they shall take the oath of allegiance to Queen Isabella, to the ~,Reg ent, and to the constitution of the Monarchy.
