PEEL followed, Sir J. GRAHAM came next, and yester day the Times adopted the same cry. „When the Tories complain, the Ministers are doing what they ought and their complaints should only stimulate continued agitation in a larger measure. If the Tories respect and confide in the people, al they say they do, what is the meaning of their complaint of agitation? The more the people are agitated, the more they- are roused, the better it must be for the Tories, if their cause be a just one, and they be rooted, as they say, in the affections of the people. The complaint, however, implies distrust. It says, more clearly than if the Tories spoke it aloud, "We are afraid of the people,—we know that we are their oppressors,—that we have deluded, cheated, humbugged them ; for GOD'S sake do not expose us, do not say that we have used the name of re ligion to gloze over political frapd, that we have plundered and enslaved them under the pretext of promoting social order; do not rouse their fury against us by convincing them that religion, and true social order, are opposed to Corn-laws, monopolies, and all kinds of delusion and slavery." That is the true meaning of the Tories when they deprecate agitation on the subject of the Corn laws. They know that their cause is unjust, and that they can only succeed by keeping the peo ple quietly and passively ignorant. They had no objection to agitation when they thought, two or three,, years ago, that the Church of England was beloved by the people, and that it was only necessary to awaken them to its great merits to retrieve for it dominion over their hearts and minds. To obtain ascendancy for the Church, agitation by all kinds of means, 'by public meetings, by large subscriptions, by great collections of noble men, by gatherings of silly women and sillier men, by preaching and praying, was unsparingly had recourse to. Then Standards, Times, Heralds, and Posts, throughout the empire, deemed agitation in the name of religion a most holy thing, and their pens were employed daily in promoting the success of the holy agitators of Exeter Hall. They had Protestant meetings and Protestant operative meetings ; they had dio cesan meetings, metropolitan meetings, and parish meetings; neither Sir R. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, nor Sir J. GRAHAM ever uttered a word against clerical agitation.' 'The scheme was a signal failure. The priests got, we believe, a little money, and made a few dupes of the wealthy and the titled, and there the agitation ended. The Church sank deeper than ever into the mire, and its patronage of the murderous Corn-law will not help it out. At present, an agitation for a far more important object than building of churches and enriching the priesthood is begun—an agitation to fill the bel lies of the hungrypeople, and relieve them from want; .an agitation to set them free from the oppression of a most sordid tyranny : and now all those who were so forward in promoting the priest agitation, cry out against agitation, and proclaim aloud that to rouse up the people to consider what is due to them, is to unchain a powerful enemy. "Take care," said Sir ROBERT PEEL, " how you appeal to the people, for you will invoke an ally who will be yourmaster, not your slave." There spoke the true Tory ; there spoke the genuine aristocrat. He dreads the people; he hates the people, because lie knows the sys tem he supports has debased and enslaved them. lie knows, too, that it will fall of itself to decay the instant the people become acquainted with its deformities. The part we have taken on the Corn-laws from the first, and the countenance our opi nions have obtained from the public, make it proper for us, we think, to submit a few further observations on the subject of a fixed duty, be fore that subject is discussed in Parliament. We are bound, whatever may be the immediate results, to maintain our principles and our consistency. The proposed Bs. duty on the admission of fo reign corn may be considered under two charac ters—as a protection to the landed interest, arid as a tax levied solely for the purpose of obtaining a revenue. In the first character, that assigned to it by Lord MELBOURNE, we repudiate it altogether as totally unwarranted, and as having all the im moral attributes of the sliding scale. Under that aspect we will not discuss it. In its own nature it is iniquitous, an abominable species of class legislation, the plunder of the industrious poor by the idle rich, and just as worthy of condem nation as the present system. We are only sur prised how any men proposing to deal with this important question, and at all aware of its character, can at this time take on themselves the guilt which now belongs to the Legislature of a former period. Why should the Whigs, by proposing such a law, absolve and exonerate the Tories? A fixed duty for protection is a fixed in justice, and we are on principle as decidedly op posed to it as to fluctuating duties. It is said by some of the opponents of Corn laws, that the Ss. duty is a fair compromise be tween the capitalist and the landlord. But what, in this business of compromise, becomes of the labourer? Has industry not its rights? Ought they not to be most sacred in the eye of the law ? Does political society not exclusively exist to give protection to property, and is any property so sacred as man has in his own labour, or, ra ther, is not that the very source and foundation of all just property ? Why should the ca pitalists and the landlords combine to tax industry Bs. per quarter on its bread ? It is properly, and, we think, most justly, con tended that the wages of labour depend on sup ply and demand. Clearly the supply of fbod will be much limited by the eight shilling duty. Clearly time demand f or l a b our will be diminished in the same proportion, and that will give the combined capitalists and landlord an advan tage, and a species of monopoly to that extent against the labourer. For the eight shilling duty, therefore, the labouring classes cannot be expected, and ought not, to contend; and we conjure the capitalists, who are not at present much in favour with the industrious classes, to take heed how they sanction this proposition— how they enter into an unholy league with the landlords, and how they take on themselves such a large share of the landlords' guilt. The argument is, that the laud is more bur dened than capital. The just way of equalizing the burdens, is to reduce the burdens on land, or to add to the burdens on capital; but with a singular disregard of others, while they com plain bitterly of injustice, the compromising capi talists propose to equalize the burdens, not by taking a larger share on themselves, but by allowing the landlords to plunder the consumers. We are sure that the League, the gentlemen of Manchester, the great movers in this Anti-Corn law crusade, can be no parties to this proceeding; we are sure the ministers of religion through out the land will not countenance it; we are still more confident that our labouring classes will take no part in inflicting this op pression on themselves, if they do not steadily and sturdily resist it; and we do hope, therefore, that the Ministers, and a 11 (Anti-Corn-law party, will at once denounce protection, and de- THE SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1841. ,re against the Bs. duty as a device to enrich , the landlords. But we have now to look at the proposition as a means solely of raising a revenue. It is said, Why should not food be taxed as well as any thing else ? That is the aspect under which weave next to consider this question. It is one of the axioms of taxation, laid down by ADAM SMITH, that "every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out and to keep out of the pockets of the people as little as possible over and above what it brings into the treasury of the State." Will the Bs. duty on corn be con sistent with that axiom? During the last few years the average importation has been 900,000 quarters of wheat. Now, let us suppose that under the new law the annual average importa tion is 4,000,000 quarters, or that all kinds of grain and flour imported will be equivalent to that amount. On this supposition the revenue raised for the State by the corn-tax will amount to 1,600,000/. We believe that the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sets the tax down at that sum. 1,600,000/., therefore, is the whole sum which will be taken out of the pockets of the people, for the coffers of the State, by the Bs. duty. How much more will go out of their pockets into the coffers of the landlords? Mr. M'CuL- Locx estimated in 1832 the whole quantity of grain consumed in the United Kingdom of all kinds, including seed corn, at 52,000,000 qrs. We must add, we think, at least 4,000,000 qrs. for the increase of population since that period. In fact, the ratio at which population increased prior to 1832 would warrant a much larger addi tion; but we are contented to take this, because we believe that since then the condition of the working classes has been much deteriorated, and they do not consume now as much as they did in 1832. Adding the 4,000,000 qrs., we shall have 56,000,000 qrs. of grain as the present con sumption of the United Empire. The quantity of wheat may be assumed to be about one-third of the other grain, and we shall then have 18,600,000 qrs. of wheat as the annual consumption, on the whole of which, in the price, a duty of Bs. will, in fact, be levied, equal to a sum of 6,040,0001., which will be taken by the tax out of the pockets of the people, not to go into the coffers of the State, but into the coffers of the owners of rent. All other species of grain we shall estimate at 37,400,000 quarters, and taking the duty on the whole at an average of 4s. the quarter, we shall have an additional sum of 7,480,0001., which, by the proposed tax on corn, will be taken out of the pockets of the consumers—not to increase the na tional resources, but to swell the rent .rolls of the landlords. This, however, is not all. The same principle applies to everything grown on the land, and everything the land bears. Such a tax, by limiting the sources of our supply, raises the price of timber, of meat, of poultry, of eggs, and raises the rent of land. It increases the extorting power of the owners of every foot of land in the kingdom. We do not pretend to make even an approximate calculation of the amount of money thus taken out of the pockets of the people by this tax, which will never go into the coffers of the State. If we put it down rudely at double the two sums we have already stated, we shall conclude that the tax will take, on this account, 13,520,0001. sterling more out of the pockets of the people than it will put into the public Treasury. The question, then, will stand thus : The tax will yield to the Treasury • £1,650,000 To the landowners for wheat 64 for other grain .. 7,480,000 16 for other produce 13,520,000 Total £27,040,000 --- Balance more taken out of the pockets of the people than goes into the Treasury ... Well, then, this proposed tax will violate, to an enormous extent, the axiom we have quoted. It is the continuance under another name of pro tection. It enriches the landbwner, who makes the laws, and defrauds the industrious labourers, who have no voice in making them. It is the continuance of the injustice we denounce ; nay, it is worse, it is lending to it a fresh sanction and giving it new life. We will now stop.. On a future day we will show that the proposed fixed duty violates, in an equal degree, the - other axioms which, according to ADAM SMITII, ought to regulate taxation. The object of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S no-confi dence motion is to spoil the game of the Whigs. That has been avowed by the Tory Journals. In the course of his speech Sir R. PEEL dis claimed the idea of wishing to prevent a discus sion on the Corn-laws ; but the Morning Post, which is in the confidence of the party, and which announced, on Monday morning, the pur port of the notice Sir R. PEEL gave on that evening, distinctly stated that the party intended to obstruct the proceedings of the Government. Between Monday and Thursday, however, the Tories altered their tone and their policy. ,By the latter day it had been ascertained that Lord WORSLEY and his friends would not support a vote of want of confidence, and then Sir R. PEEL professed that he had no desire to prevent a discussion on the Corn-laws. He found he could not attain his object, and, therefore, he took the earliest opportunity to deny it. The cunning man was deceived, and so he fenced and retreated from his position. But if Sir ROBERT PEEL did not mean to ob i struct the Ministers, why did he bring forward his motion ? We know of only one object he could possibly have in view. He knew that a dissolution was decided on—he knew that the success of his motion would not alter the deci sion, but he might hope by arraigning the Mi nisters in the House, to damage them with the public. He spoke on Thursday far less to his usual band of roarers and cheerers, than to the country ; and his oration, destitute of clap-traps, which tell only in the House, was dull and logi cal. The only effect expected from the motion, and from all the slashing oratory which all the party can bring to bear, is to make out as good a case as possible for the Tories fn. the coming election. To use the misapplied language of the Times of yesterday, the Tories have made the Parliament a debating society, is which they may talk to the country, and canvass the elec toral body by motions and speeches intended for the hustings. The fact is made palpable by Sir R. PEEL and his friends obstinately refusing to explain the policy they mean to follow. Of their intention in that respect they are ashamed. They have no merit of their own to stand on ; they can only pretend to be white by painting their opponents as very black. The Ministers, on the contrary, have a plan to propound to the country. They have become converts to the necessity of altering the Corn-laws ; they are bound to explain the origin of this change in their views. Their proposition to alter the law has not yet been developed. It is stated, and we believe accurately, that their proposition, as to the Corn-laws, is combined with a series of alterations in the tariff. Where can they ex plain their views on these subjects but in the House of Commons ? The Ministers, then, are bound to submit all their measures to the House and explain them fully, and the country would be ill prepared to decide betwixt them and their op ponents, were their case not laid completely be fore it. The Tories have no plan—nothing to submit to the public, except a repetition of their stale charges against the Ministers, and they merit the reproach of converting Parliament into a debating-shop. We are not sorry that the Tories have em braced such a course. Never before did the bulk of the people take such enlightened views of our national policy as at present. They dis criminate nicely between the Whigs and the Tories; and every debate only makes the cha racter of politicians better known. They begin to comprehend, with great exactness, the work ing ofthe Constitution, and every such obstructive and party fight as that begun by the Tories, makes it better known to them. Motions and speeches, like those of Thursday and Friday, improve their knowledge both of men and things. Every Par.. liamentary battle, though not so intended, gives a blow to some false pretension, and puts an end to . the reign of some prejudice, or weakens the authority of some political pretender. By expos ing- themselves the Tories render the public a more essential service than by picking holes is the characters of their opponents. To abate the reverence of the people for public men and beget a wholesome distrust of their numerous measures, have long been objects of all political writers. They•may not avow it, but every attack on a statesman, and every condemnation ofa law, have such an effect, and that effect the Tories are in creasing by exposing themselves and attacking their opponents. We clap our hands and encou rage the combatants. The General Assembly goes on bravely with the work of destruction. On Monday it deposed Mr. WRIGHT, of BOrdiwick.,, One, of the most respected and able Clergymen of the Church of Scotland, for constructive heresy; on Thursday, at one fell swoop, it deposed the Seven Strath bogie Ministers for obeying the law of the land ; on Friday it deprived Mr. EDwARDs, ,the pre sentee to Marnock, of his licence, and declared him incapable of accepting a call from any other parish, or of admission into any office as a Mi nister of the Church, and report states that in tentions were at one, time seriously entertained of depos . . all that side of the Assembly, con taining:!t Je hundred and . twenty-five mem bers, Wito voted for the Seven Clergymen of Strathbogie. We feel no regret for the deci sion as regards these reverend gentlemen, be cause Dr. CHALMERS and the madmen who sup port him will find the law too strong for them. The seven suspended clergymen wil continue their sacred. functions, draw the stipends,; and keep possession of the 'glebes and manses as usual, and- the Supreme Court will, with a high hand, vindicate their rights. After the sentence was pronounced, steps were immediately taken in the Court . of Session, at the instance of the Duke of RICHMOND, to set aside the whole pro ceedings, and no doubt remains as to the result. But the case of Mr. WRIGHT, we fear, is beyond the power of the Civil Court. For certain doc trines, which these disturbers of the Church and the peace of domestic life, have suffered to pass unnoticed for twenty years; he has been deprived of his living and expelled the Church as a heretic. Before sentence was passed, a prayer was put up for his repentance, but the cruel inquisitors would not wait even a day .to see the effect of their prayers, but proceeded at once to inflict the highest punishment the law' allowed thernio ad minister. But such proceeding's can no icenge,r be winked at by the Legislature, and instead of, a Bill like that of the Duke of ARGYLL to give them more power to do mischief; steps must be token to bridle their wickedness, and prevent them from degrading the most exemplary minis ters of the Gospel, and ruining their families, to gratify their own malignant passions. We have received by express the Me3sayer of Saturday night, with the Paris Morning Pa pers of the same date. The only important news in Friday's Journals reached us in time to appear in the Afternoon Edition of The Sun of Saturday evening. The trial of DARMES was brought to a close, when the unfortunate wretch was condemned to suffer death as a parricide. hat this sentence will be carried into effect we cannot suppose for an instant. A regard for the future safety of the Kura's person will induce the Ministry to advise his MAJESTY to commute the sentence to one of confinement and hard la- Lour for. life. Had the _Noble Judges of FIES cm and his accomplices pronounced these wretches • insane, and sent them to a Lunatic Asylum instead of to the guillotine, - the world would have been no longer shocked by the de plorable spectacle of a KING momentarily in danger of death , at the hands of his own subjects. High treason is more effectually repressed by shaving heads than by cutting them off—that worst of all remedies for the repression of crime. All the Journals have articles upon the con tradiction given by M. GUIZOT to the report that the KING had promised to evacuate Algiers. The Quotidienne is the only paper that declines to accept the assertion of the Ministers as a proof that-such is the fact. The accounts from European Turkey are very alarming. It was beginning to be doubted whether the Porte, without the co-operation of the Great Powers, could put down the insurrec tions in Bulgaria and Candia. A protest of Prince Lotus NAPOLEON against the harshness of the measures for his deten:ion at Ham, appear in the Commerce. We shall endeavour to find room for it in our columns of to-morrow. TRIAL OF DARMES-SENTENCE OF THE COURT OF PEERS. On Saturday at seven, v. at., the Court pronounced iti judgment. Darmes, eondemned to death, is to be conducted to the place of execution and punished as a parricide, namely, bare feet, en chemise, and a black veil over his head. He is then to be guil:otined. It is expected he will be executed on Monday at five, A. M. Considee and Duclos were acquitted, but the latter is to be detained, to be tried for illegal detention of arms. Darmes appears resigaed to his fate. _ _ _ THE EAsVERN Qui;: . s.rtoti.—Both the Moniteur Parisien and the Presse announce that the signature of the final pro tocol on the Eastein question is postponed. NEWS FROM SPAIN. It appears from our Madrid letters of the 23d that a powerful opposition is preparing in the Deputies against the new Ministry. Don Carlos has issued an order of the day, dated Bourgos, May 16, countersigned by Don Jose Tamariz, releasing the Carlists from their oaths to him, in order that they may return to Spain if they think proper, as the French Govern ment was about to withdraw all supplies from the refugees now in France. This decree is expected to be the forerunner of Don Carlos's liberation. Negotiations are still going on at Rome to induce Don Miguel to resign his pretensions to the Portuguese throneon the condition of receiving an allowance. The Moniteur announces that the Jemappes, ship of the line, had sailed fiom L'Orient for Toulon on the 24th ingtant. he Didon and the Minerva frigates, and the Acheron man•of-war steamer, sailed on the 28th from Toulen far the Levant. This concentration of the French navy in those waters was held to prove the degree of uneasiness suggested by the distracted state of the Turkish empire. The disturbances had extended to Roma Lia. Letters from Vienna of the 21st inst. state that Prince Met ternich had, in consequence of the probable dissolution of the Melbourne Cabinet, resolved not to leave for his estates before the latter end of the month of June. Lord Beauvale had also postponed his departure for the same reasons. Letters from all parts of the Continent represent the stand. ing crops as the•finest ever teen. A correspondent of the Tuulonnais writes from Algiers : " Amongst the female prisoners who have recently arrived at Algiers, and have just been exchanged, were three remarkable fur their personal appearance. One, in particular, was very pretty, and was attended by a neeress as her servant. This Arab beauty, attired in a black burnous, on arriving at Algiers, remained reclining on her mule, being wounded in the thigh by a ball. She excited the most lively inter° t among the males, and the most romantic sympathy amongst the females. A tale has been told of her which the habits of the Arabs ren. der not improbable. She was, they say, the wife of a Mara bout, whose tribe was pillaged and put to fire and sword by our soldiers on the sth instant. Her husband was mortally wounded, and her father used the greatest efforts to prevent. her falling into the hands of the French, but he himself fell Ii the rencontre. Her foster brother seeing the impossibility of saving her, and unwilling that she should become a prisoner. fired at her almost point blank, but by some chance the ball only hit her in the thigh, and she became the prize of the conquerors." A letter from Salzburg, of the 20th of May, in the Augs burg Evening Journal, says—" The report which has been so often repeated, that Don Carlos will obtain passports from the French Government, aril will shortly leave Bourges to come to this city, obtains at this time more credit, because letters from Vienna, coming from an authentic quarter, make lic"tim of it. This news has excited a great sensation in our ei'y."— Gazette de France. The mission which Messrs. Piscatory and Foy ate going to execute in Greece, appears to be urgent, for they arrived at Toulon on the 23d, and were to leave it on the 24th or '2sth "or Cie Piraeus. Thi s m i ss i on, says a letter ft ow Toulon, is en- veloped iu profound mys t ery; b u t it is believed to be very im portant. If, as the L a P resse sa ys, a squadron is sent to these seas, it is to support, if necessary, she demands of our Envoy addressed to the. Greek Government.

PRICE OF WHEAT IN ENGLAND AND BERLIN.—A curious table has been published by J. and A. J. Waterlow, Birchin-lane, of the price of , wheat in Eng land and at Berlin, - between the years 1791 and 1840, inclusive, from which it appears that the price of wheat has varied in England in that period between 38s. and 1405., and in Berlin between 775. and 20s. At the same time the wages of labour in Sussex have varied only between 9s. and 13s. 6d., thus the • price of wheat has varied 31 times,' while the wages of labour have only varied one half. Who, then, can say that wages de pend on the price of wheat ? The most curious part of the table is the difference of price at the two.places in each year, which being multiplied by the quantity of corn con sumed in England, it is , proved that the greater priee paid in England than in Berlin on the whole quantity • consumed between 1791 and 1840 amounts to the sum of 1,158,00d,0001., or 390,000,000/. more than the national debt. Stiehl a table is worthy of the study of these Who undertake to regu late the national affairs. We would especially recom mend it to Messrs. Goulburn, _Peel, and Co„ . , who boasted of late that they had reduced the national debt. Yes, they did reduce it, by keeping On Corn-laws, after the approved fashion of saving, by stopping up the spiggot and letting the national wealth flow out at the bung hole. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The Stock market was dull all day, and . prices were -a- per cent. lower. It is difficult to assign any better reason for the fall than the mere want of business, and the absence of many of the chief jobbers. Consols for immediate transfer brought 89i to 9q, and for time 90i to the market closing with a dull appearance, Ex chequer Bills were 11s. to 13s. premium, and India Bonds 3s. premium. Bank Stock - was dull at 169, the New Three and a Half 'per...Ceuts. realized 98-i to 99 1 8 , and the Three per Cent44teauced Annuities 89 to 88f,-. Until after the determiation of the debate re specting no-confidence in Ministers, the market is not expected to rally. . . the Settlement in the Foreign Market took place to day, and, from the extremely' limited character of the speculations, within the last fortnight, the Account, and the differences arising from it, were perfectly insignifi cant The fluctuation in Spanish Bonds, for instance, has been only s and, in Portuguese, per cent. To day Active Spanish Bonds have been depressed at 231 to and Portuguese New Five per Cents., at 334 to 34. As regards the latter, it is not to be wondered at that they should go lower, seeing the deplorable condition of . financial affairs at Lisbon, where the Government is un able to raise the funds to pay even troops or artisans. French Five per Cent. Rentes were 114, and Dutch Two and-it-Half per Cents. 528 to I. This was pay day in the Share Market ; but here again the jobbers came off comparatively harmless. Now the account has been adjusted, parties are in the market seemingly for a rise. Great Western Railway Shares were 281 to 30, the New 14 to 134, the Fifths 74-; the London and Birmingham, Quarter, 184, the New 22 ; the South Western 168, and the York and North Mid land, New, 10 prem.

COTTON MARKET, Mir 29.—The Cotton Market has been extremely- dull today, the sales scarcely amounting to 1,500 bales, to the trade at Friday's rates. Se veral vessels have arrived from the United States with heavy consignments. _ _ _ LIVERPOOL SHARE-MARKET, MAY 29.—T0-day has been one of the most indifferent kr business at the Stock Exchange for, several weeks past.

Port Phillip Gazettes to the 10th Jan. received. Commer cial remarks :—" Port Phillip Bank—All the cash received at the Treasury, which, with the land purchases, amounts to a very considerable sum in the course of the year ; it has been customary to deposit, in the Local Banks (the Australian and Union), until required for transmission to heal-quarters ; free indulgence has been extended to the Port Phillip Bank, so that each receives its proportion, and equally obta i ns a s h are of Government confidence.

This, hitherto the Temple of Diablerie; has by a touch of the wand of the greatest of magicians, been transformed into a Temple of Magic. The Vander deckens and Mammons have given place to " Spirits of another sort," and Sathanas has been supplanted by "the Great Wi zard of the North," whose reappearance in the metropolis will be welcomed by all who last year had the pleasure of witnessing his feats of ambidexterity. His delusions are the most astonishing we ever witnessed. All nature seems to obey him. At his command a couple of half crowns become the Taglioni and Cerito of the coinage, and dance together to music, marking the time admirably as any biped Terpsichorean professor. Pigs and cards fly like birds, watches are fired into hats without either receiving any injury ; handkerchiefs become .locomo tives ; fortunes are told by an Egyptian ; and then there is the ne plus y4rq of the art magic, the eelebrated gun trick. But not only. does Mr. Anderson draw cards from packs, but what is still better, he draws money into his treasury by draw ing crowded houses every evening. He is decidedly the most wonderful professor of OW -411 l 7 a g e is IYUo has yet appeared, There is a neatness and precision in his per formance which makes each trick tell admirably, and he possesses this great advantage over, many professors of the art-lin l§ in manners and deportment a polished gent tleman. All those who delight hi the wonders of en chantment (and who does not ?) should witness- Mr. Anderson's performances, and as they are concluded by' half-past ten, there can be no objection to their indulging their children with a peep into the Temple of Magic on the score of the lateness of the hour.

A WS,--WitilOilt trade England cannot e)rAt its a nation; without employ ment the operative, the shot:4CM, thQ manufacturer, the merchant, and the.shipowner, would be involved in one common ruin. The landowner would soon follow ; and the fate of one would be the fate of all. This period, monopolists may say, has not yet arrived. I pray God it never may; but it will not be the wisdom or honesty of our Legislature which will prevent its coining, unless indeed, legislation takes a course far different from that which his hitherto been pprStpci t rep 4t. proposi tions of her Majesty's Ministers fur the Budget of this year, and the honest and straightforward declaration s o f Lord John Russell 'in favonr of the principl es o f f ree trade, as me that tinder his gilicl4llce legislation may take a new, a wise, and an invigorating course; and that if at the coming elections the electors of England be only true to themselves, our people may yet find employment, and oar commerce may be saved. This is no time for the disoussion of sp oo4 l ? ,, t i v a or philosophical political opinions. The operative is in want of employment, and consequently, in want of bread. The questions for con sideration at this moment are, How are the people of Ek,crland tQ be fccl and clothed ? 401 Y can the energies of t ris great empire be kestored to their proper channel? How can comfort be introduced into the habitations of the poor, and prosperity be restored to the trade and •.;ommerce of the country ?
