MORNING EDITION . SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—Our Tory Contemporaries, after complain "-g bitterly that the name of her Majesty is affecting their Prospects in the coming contest, and representing that fact as a culpable association of her name with the fierceness of po litical partisanship, very ingeniously suggest that their own candidates and canvassers should employ her Majesty's name to r the production of equal advantage to the Tory cause. Were it not for the earnestness and diligence of the faction in all kinds of falsehood, this suggestion might be taken for what is commonly called a quiz. But Tory lying is no joke. It is the every-day hard work of writers and speakers. And the more desperate the falsehood, the better it accords with the desperate and final plunge for power which Toryism is now making. For it is seen well enough that unless immediate success be obtained, at what ever cost, the sordid bond that holds together the present hete rogeneous opposition is utterly dissolved. The Queen is with the people, and for the people. That is the plain matter of fact. If the people will support her, she will stand by them in piomoting " the trade and industry of the country," and in providing for the public service " in the manner least burden some to the community ;" and if not, not ; simply because in that case she will have been deprived by themselves of the power to aid them. That the case stands thus, would be enough for any Tory who regarded truth ; it is nevertheless very unsatisfactory to the organs of the party. But they must pay the penalty of their conduct. Had they not been against the peeple, the Queen could net slow have been against them to any formidable purpose. Had they not been for fresh taxation, her Majesty could not have appealed from them to the nation to know whether it preferred more taxation to the abolition of monopoly. Libellers of her Majesty, as many of the party have continually been, they cannot just at this moment seriously affirm, with the hope of evidence, that the Queen is desirous of additional taxes, that she goes to the people for fresh imposts which Par liament has refused to her or her Government, or that repre sentatives are sent back to their constituents because she is de termined, if possible, to sustain the bread-tax undiminished, for the temporary advantage of a class at the expense of the community. The Royal Speech is too plain, though their im pudence may not be too squeamish, far such glaring falsificas tions. The Queen need not have spoken that speech ; the vote of want of confidence had liberated her from all imaginary compulsion of official etiquette; it was a personal and volun tary identification of herself with the people's cause; and no political mystification can sever the holy alliance of Queen and country. It is our rallying cry for the hustings ; and may Heaven, for the sake of the toiling millions, " send her victo rious." TIMES.— When England has a Government again, and the relations of this empire with foreign countries and with its own vast dependencies once more feel the guidance of that " steady policy' to which her Majesty's gracious speech has recently directed the hopes of her subjects, it will be discovered that refractory convicts working the vessel of the state under jury. masts until they shall have reached the penal colony for which they are hound are not the fittest crew to pilot the national ship and to man her guns. The vigilance of a Minister whose attention is distracted by the pressing cares of sticking to his place in the teeth of Parliament, and to his seat in the teeth of his constituents, is not likely to keep the most effectual watch at the very time when foreign Powers, in those happy coun tries where votes of censure and contested elections are un known, are naturally availing themselves of the relaxed and uncertain state of our national policy during the Ministerial interregnum. We know no whether the sudden display of boldness and vigour which was in preparation about twelvemonths ago has been warranted by the necessity . of the occasion or the magnitude of our suc cess ; but it is perfectly obvious that if necessities of tenfold importance were to • arise at this conjuncture in our affairs, there is no Government at all in the country able to meet them by a course of action, which all the promptitude of the gallant candidate for Marylebone would hard l y brin g to an issuebefore the period at which the Ministers have themselves admitted that patronage and power wilt have passed into other hands. The consequence is, that the influence we were sup posed to have acquired in the Levant last year will have been lost before the gun has gone round the zodiac ; and in presence of these permanent designs, which are tenaciously adhered to by Powers gifted with patience enough to await the extinction of our outlived energy and our eccentric tri umphs, the policy of England is so intermitten t and ember rassed,by the unconstitutional attempt to govern the country by a minority, that we cannot hope to interpose any real opposition to such undertakings as the artifices of Russia, the inaptitude of the Porte, the intrigues of France, or the obstinacy of Mehe met Ali may set on foot. This state of things, which is bad enough in itself, is made worse by the comparative independ ence of action which it confers on our strange Ambassador at Constantinople, and his agents, who now lord it in Syria. ADVERTISER. —It is certainly a matter of the first im portance, that the constituencies of the United Kingdom should ponder well and deliberately on the respective merits of the several candidates who may present themselves for their suf frages in the present election. In few, lamentably few, in stances, need it be expected that candidates will present them selves qualified in all respects to give faithful and effective representation to the sentiments of the electoral body. The course, therefore, for the latter to pursue, when they cannot find as good a representative as they could wish, is evidently to select the best of those who claim their confidence. A portion of the Chartists, however—a portion fortunately becoming small by degrees, and miserably less—appear resolved to pur sue an opposite course, and when they cannot find a candidata cut out in exact precision to their own views, propose to sup port the worst of those who solicit their sweet voices. It is on this insensate conduct of those who vaunt themselves the elect champions of freedom, that the Tories base their chief hope of triumphing over the public interests. For our own part, being anxious only for the best men to win, we would recommend that the candidates be chosen by the ap plication of a sliding scale, and let him found to stand highest m the public confidence have the undivided voice of the Liberal electors. The Chartist who, influenced by a different and per verse feeling, gives his vote to a Tory, is guilty of an act of political suicide for which no plea nor palliation can be alleged in excuse, save that of temporary insanity. It is not our in tention to plead the cause of the Whigs, and wherever better men present themselves these men shall have our support ; but are the Tories better men? This is the question. Are the men 'whose lite has been passed in continual opposition to the claims of the people, better than they who have always advo cated at least a gradual concession of these claims, and against whom the chief accusation is a too great tendency to.couciliate the very men to whom the suicidal Chartist would, in his most stupid infatuation, now give a preference ? Before we discard the Whigs, let us be prepared with better men to supply their places ; but above all things, let not the represen tation be abandoned to the Tories. Po.—Though we do not believe that Lord John Rus sell harenything like a good chance of getting into Parlia ment for the City, and do believe, on the contrary, that he stands a very good chance of being, even among the Radical candidates the lowest but one upon the poll, we are still sur. prised that so many men of fair character are willing to give him a vote. People talk of the political " pluck "of the man, and really, if it were a genuine thing, we should be as willing as any one else to give him credit for it. But surely, there is some difference, and very important difference too, between lord J. Russell's conduct and that stout English persever ance, which is described by the short word we have quoted. There is no quality more respectable than that of cheerful constancy to a settled purpose, in spite of checks, and rebuffs, and all sorts of ill fortune, but we cannot find this quality in Lord John Russell. Instead of that quality, we find a careless impudence a complete insensibility to shame, which is no more genuine English " pluck " than the material of Brummagem jewellery is honest gold and silver. Now it is really humiliating and disgraceful to find men of decent character going about and trying to persuade people to vote for this Russell as a friend of the people, and of that noble thing British liberty. We defy any of these men— and that they are, at least some of them, clever men in their way, no one can deny—we say we defy any of them to point oat a single instance in which this Russell has exhibited gene roes or manly feeling towards the people. We defy any one to point out, either in his dull books or in his political ha rangues, the evidence of the possession of a single generous sentiment in public matters, or of the slightest sympathy with the comforts of the common people. No such thing is to be found, but on the contrary a cold supercilious contempt of all homely and kindly feeling, and a preference for certain theo ries, which are indeed fraught with the affectation of political learning, but which treat the mass of the people as if they were stocks and stones, or mathematical lines, to be regarded by a public man as the insensible elements of abstract science. GLOBE.—When the convulsions of ungovernable passion have ceased, men begin to reflect, with more or less of sobriety, upon the consequences of their conduct. This is now the case with that violent section of the united Tory party, which goaded the unhappy leader of the body to measures repudiated by his better sense arid greater caution. Never was a man of character and ability more rudely and contemptuously treated by his followers than Sir Robert Peel. The essence of his po li cy wa s delay, and delay till he had attained an un uestioned s uperiority over his opponents.politipealia rto the From a great va riet y of circumstances, peculiar existing position of things, this happened to be just pos sible ; while a premature exposure of the scheme was quite sure to r uin all. But the Stanl e nominalyites were im patient ; they forced their commander to risk all u pon one throw ; and the unwilling gamester w on t h e unwe l com e and disast rous victor y by a singl e vote. Taking it as a matter of the highest probability that the election will give Ministers a fair working ma jority, the question is, of course, at once settled. Their measures will then be carried by acclamation ; the Lords will eat their leek in calm aristocratical dudgeo n . while Sir Robert and Lord Stanley w ill quietly take thei r places as Members of the new Opposition. And this is now, perhaps, the very best t hin g that can happen for their real interests. But suppose the contrary'. buppose the elections give the To r ie s their hoped-for majoritys , ranging from 20 to 25. What follows ? An enormoi! Whig Opposition, backed by the intelligence and public spirit of the country to a degree never before witnessed, and sustained besides by all the democracy of England, Scotland, and Ireland. It would be amusing, but for the appalling seriousness of the subject, to anticipate Sir Robert's first appearance in the closet of his in sulted and persecuted Queen, after he had just placed the Speaker in the chair, and heard Lord John Russell give notice of a motion for a Committee of the whole House on, the Corn-laws—to say nothing of those other measures to which her Majesty's own refined and vigorous - anderstruiding has led her to feel distin ctl y and a personally pledged ! Does Sir Robert mean to "MY those measures, or does he not ? It' he say nay, what does he mean to do with a distressed and discon tented nation ? If he say yes, why is the whole island frighted from its propriety, and the Queen at this pe culiar juncture annoyed beyond expression, if the Whig measures, or measures analogous to them, are after all to be 'adopted? For Sir Robert to govern on the old ultra-Tory system, with Orangeism for Ire land, Puseyism for the Church, Intrusiveness for Scotland, Monopoly for England, and dear bread and bayonets, for teeming starving Lancashire, is clearly an impossibility. But neither his High Church friends at Oxford (his friends:), nor his own little remaining con sistency, will allow him to liberalize ! Then what re mains, but hasty and inglorious retreat, followed in stantly by the triumph of a national ministry and Mo iiarch ? These are the galling topics upon which the more sober-minded of the Tories are now beginning to meditate. They now find that their too great eagerness has ruined the Fabian tactics of their leader. If they lose this election, there is an end of their party as at present constituted : whereas, if their opponents are defeated, their game is only beginning, with assured success after a short interval. Hard is the lot of a party to whom victory would be useless, and defeat disgraceful, 'and who yet have only to thank themselves for their mise rablerosition. Th e p u bli c , h owev er, have an interest dis tinct roe all party squabbles. The country requires a so g_government ; and if it be clear that the med , Z b l- 4 7 1 f t LY an tadarch very "striking opposites" as Sir surely it beb,,,,,,,?' ta nleY , cannot secure this object, moderate unsettle the Tore men to pause before they measures promiseto _9:vernment, which in its domestic the prosperity of all claarles, while in its foreign policy it has won universal admira tion. The City election will soon speak the sentiments of the Metropolis, and the Ultras may be assured that the merchants of London will think twice before they allow themselves to be associated with the more senseless persons in the community in the support of impracticable monopolies. No one has more reason to hope for the failure of the Tories in this election than their ill-used chief, Sir Robert Peel. COURlER.—lndependently of the confusion reigning in every department of the Home Administration, where all public business may be said to be brought to a dead lock, not less signal and chaotic is the confusion in our foreign and colonial affairs. For ten years last past, the erratic genius presiding at the Foreign-office has been actively at work, confounding the order of things existing without re-establishing any other order ; intriguing here and warring there ; anon sending armies to be slaugh tered and routed under Evans on the very theatre of Wellington's glories ; now reaping a few stray, however splendid, triumphs at Acre or Sidon, through the in domitable valour of British seamen, commanded by the veteran Stopford, or led on by Napier, but barren of all other substantial fruit beyond the laurels achieved by their heroism ; then ingloriously wasting time and trea sure off the coasts of China, exposing brave troops to the destructive miasma of Chusan, scarcely sacked before abandoned, disgracefully withdrawing men-of-war from the Yellow Sea where an honourable peace might have been exacted, and endeavouring afterwards to retrieve a hundred follies and disasters by the storm of a few mud forts at the Bogue, or an onslaught upon some miserable mandarin and war junks, the defences of the river of Canton. Such are some of the doings and wanderings of the evil genius of foreign affairs, which mocked us with the cry of non-intervention whore all has been mischievous interference, and which leaves, or soon will leave, all the vast countries traversed and hovered over by its baleful opinions, each and impartially, in prey to the ravages of external war, or the not less sanguinary horrors or disorganising furies of civil war and internal discord. Lord Palmerston, on his advent to , power, found peace every where, as now he leaves war ; he found revolution and anarchy only in France, he extended and fostered it in Belgium, Portugal, and Spain, where, so far as the two latter realms, it may be seen yet pursuing its wild career. The Turco-Egyptian quarrel remains still unarranged, and all the elements of original strife as rife as ever, despite their compulsory subjugation into temporary quiescence by the overwhelming prowess of British arms. Affghanistan, where a British bayonet had never glistened in the sun till his day, and ought never to have appeared, is once invaded and conquered, only to re assert independence and show itself unconquerable. Whilst China, pacific China that was, and that might have been with less intriguing and indolent diplomacy, is there a memorable monument of Foreign-office im becility and rashness by turns, and of the blundering vacillation and never-relaxing cupidity of the Elliots. STANDARD.—Before touching the main question, there is a point upon which it may be well to remark — Why is it that the price of foreign corn has been made excessive by the Corn-laws !We have been all along told that the effect of the Corn-laws would be to raise prices on the Continent, and that, instead of being made excessive, prices are depressed by the existing state of British commerce. The primary consideration is, however, this—would not a repeal of the Corn-laws cause more in value of corn to be imported than could be paid for in manufactures, so as to occasion a steady drain outward of money, until the capital of this country should be exhausted, or at least brought down to the level of Continental poverty ? We maintain the affirmative, and we maintain it upon the evidence of uniform experience. Every commercial and manufactur turing country that relied for food upon strangers, Venice, Genoa, Holland, each in its turn the richest of States, have sunk into poverty from this single cause. Our own recent experience proves the same thing, and so it must always be. A million of men, including poor with rich, consume five times as much value in food as they con sume in manufactures of every kind—ten times as much as they can consume of any manufactures not made upon the spot. Well, you have a million of agriculturists ex changing their produce for the produce of a million of manufactures ; does it not follow that the manufacturers have a vast deficiency in value to supply with money? Thus, in whatever degree it may be pursued, the importation of food must be always a losing trade, a trade by which capital is permanently alienated. Rut, say the profound political economists, trade must move in a circle. Yes, until the circular movement stops, as stop it will when the moving power, the superior weight of capital, shall have been removed. You see trade move in a circle just as you see the mill go round while the reservoir af fords a supply of water ; but break down the banks of the reservoir, and cut off its sources of supply, and you will have to sell your mills for old materials, as so many mills at Macclesfield and elsewhere were sold, upon Mr. Huskisson's first application of your free trade theory. It is the agriculture of your country which supplies the springs of the great reservoir ; they are the Corn-laws which secure it embankments. Money, like water, will find its level, except artificial means are em ployed to restrain it : it will go where it is most wanted, if you oppose no political check. We hear, again, a great deal of the increased consumption of British manufactures that would instantly follow a repeal of the Corn-laws ; we doubt not that a great export would fol low, because the overtraders would take advantage of any delusion abroad or at home to unload their warehouses. But who abroad would be the permanent consumers ? The people—the people enriched by the money paid for corn ? We deny it. The people of any country, as we have shown, never consume foreign goods to any extent worth notice ; and the people would not be one farthing the richer for all the money paid for corn. The landowners of Germany and Poland give proof in their present social system that they understand as, well as the millowners of Manchester and Leeds, how to keep the people from any share of their receipts; the landowners would accumulate the money, they would lend it to spe culators, and those speculators would employ it in establishing manufactories. What else could they do with it? The choice then is this—are we to send the capital of this country abroad in a regular and steady stream, in order that it may ruin our manufactures by rivalry, or are we to reserve it for the erection of towns, in our deserts and colonies, to supply consumers for these manufacturers? MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIDIES.—The adjourned meeting of the British Iron Corn pany, which took place to-day, seems to have led to no more satisfactory result than the one that preceded it, but the time was consumed in violent discussion between the two parties into which the greater number of proprietors appear to be divided. The affair, according to its present aspect, does net at all seem to tend towards a settlement ; and if we may judge from hints thrown out in the course of the proceedings by some of the dissentients, another period of litigation is probably near at hand. The Oriental Steam Navigation Company is carrying into effect some improvements in the communication with the Le vant, Egypt, and India, which are the result of a mission to the East of one of the Directors, for the purpose of obtaining information. By the improved arrangements, it seems the line of steam communication to Alexandria is to be ever3a , 15 days, instead of once a month, while the means of transit through Egypt are to be further extended. Besides the iron steamer " Lotus," which is now plying on the Nile to convey passengers between Atfe and Cairo, and a large iron track-boat which has been placed in the Mahmoudie Canal, and conveys the passengers between Alexandria and Ade, a double route is to be established through Egypt for passengers to and from India. On the Nile two steamers are to ply, one to be sta tioned at Boulac (the port of Cairo) and one at Ade, where the Mahmoudie Canal joins the Nile. The steamer at Boulac is to be in readiness to convey thepassengers coming from India down the Nile, and the one at Atfe to convey those for India up the Nile. The latter, after landing the passengers at Bou lac, and remaining a day or two for the convenience of travellers, is to proceed up the Nile as far as Thebes, halting at the principal places. A regular conveyance is tube established between Thebes and Cosseir on the Red Sea, as well as between Cairo and Suez. The distance between Cos seir and Ghenneb, on the Nile, near Thebes, is about 100 miles, and that between Suez and Cairo 84 miles. The steamers running between Suez and India are to touch regularly, both on their passage to and from India, at Cosseir, for the purpose of landing such passengers as may prefer a route home by Upper Egypt, or to embark those who are ready to proceed forward to India. A plan for passing travellers through Egypt during the plague is included in the new arrangements. The improvements in the Levant communication are to be most important. Every 15 days a line of large steamers are to start from Malta for Athens, Smyrna, the Dardanelles, Constantinople, Sinope, Samsoun, and Tribisond, returning t o Malta by the same route, the days of departure from and arrival at Malta being so arranged as to coincide with those of the vessels on the main line between England and Alexandria. A return has been published by the House of Commons, giving the revenue and expenditure of Jamaica for 1838 and 1839. In 1838, the revenue was 162,2831. sterling, and the expenditure 155,1521. sterling ; in 1839, the revenue was 166,5761. 13s. 10d. and the expenditure 109,4231. Os. lid. The number of slaves, according to the last registration in 1832, amount e d t o 311 69 POST.—It is said that another infamous fraud connected with Spanish finances has just been detected. Seeing the daring villany that had been practised in relation to the " Ac tive Debt," or th e t hi ng and Treasury bonds m s°miscalled, the holders of the In demnityust have been in constant ap prehension lest som e r i g at theexpense s h ou ld b e also tried. Certain " mixed oper a ti ons " time, the Spaniards obtaining, have taken place from time to under special private arrange ments with different capit a lists, loans for short periods, part in the shape of Treasury bonds, a n d the remainder in cash and we have alway s thought it hiprobable, as no dividends are paid on any portion tfh highly ythe debt of Spain, that the Treasury paper public paper so with drawn would not be cancelled as it ought urY to be, but re issued at any price it would fetch. The Indemnity and Trea sury bondholders have fancied that , in the everitof a factconsider able multiplication multiplicatien of e ither of the tw o securities, thewould become apparent by the incr e ased dealings in it ; forhitherto the bonds have been i n few hands and are r arely quoted. w tt what do we now hea r? Treasur y bonds were, i t is well known, c reated to cover the whole of t he di v idend on the Active Stock, due November Ist, 1836 (600,0001. sterling) and although only about one-half the amount was appropriated to this pur pose ; the immense residue is, we understand, nowhere to be found, the Spanish Government affecting to know nothing at all about the matter. The exchange of the coupons in London was confided to Mr. Isaac Lyon Goldsmid. We have considered that gentleman very lukewarm in the cause 4f the par ties exchanging, and the purchasers of the Treasury bonds, for his name is identified with the transaction, and it has ap peared to us to be indispensable to the maintenance of his own dignity as a man moving in the higher circles of the financial world, to procure justice for them. We have, however, n o t the slightest suspicion t hat he is in any way privy to the scan dalous business to which we have alluded, assuming that there is some foundation for what we have heard on the subject. It is intimated indeed, that the commissioners charged with the Paris conversions are more likely to be in the secret. Those of the Treasury bondholders who have obtained a hint of what is passing are sending to their bankers to ascertain which of their bonds bear the signature of Count Campuzano, acting at Paris, and which have the names of Count d' Aguilar and Mr. Goldsmid, as the Lon don Ambassador and agent, attached to them ; but we pre sume the Spanish Government must be equally liable for the one and for the other, as they will both have the quadruple guarantee of Queen, Cortes, Mendizabal (as Minister), and the London Embassy. It will, in the meanwhile, be satisfactory to the parties to have Mr. Goldsmid's attestation of the genu ineness of bonds brought to him for inspection, and this, we dare say lie will give without liesitatiou. Lie is understood THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1841 to have stated a short time ago that only 150,0001. or from that to 200,0001., remained in circulation. The affair of which we have spoken may be devoid of truth, and the Treasury bondholders should not at once adopt the report as a sufficient ground for throwing away their already depreciated property, but wait for such explanations as may be offered upon the subject. If the Spaniards have made an admission or the fraud, it has pro bably been from an intolerable consciousness of their consum mate knavery, or from a desire to show that, although there might be a disposition to redeem the legitimate amount of bills (150,0001. or 200,0001.) or to discharge the interest ac cruing upon it, 600,0001. sterling would be a more difficult thing to deal with. We ought to add, that the Paris market has exhibited no symptom of renewed issues of the bonds in question. On the contrary, there has been so little doing in them, and so few to be mot with, that they have not been commonly quoted there any more than here. We would sug gest further, and this is a view of the case to which we call es pecial attention, that the rumoured abstraction of the unex changed bonds may be an invention originating with a set of scoundrels who, while our Police Magistrates, with their large salaries, occupy themselves in the investigation of petty thefts involving losses to individuals of a few pence or shillings only, are permitted with impunity and without inquiry to carry on their depredations by wholesale. If the act imputed to the Spaniards has been really corn mitt( d, it has to be seen whether it was in London or at Paris. In either case, it is the duty of the Embassy to hunt out the criminals concerned in it, and to prosecute them for the felony. General Alava, the late Ambassador, always felt this Trea sury bond swindle as a cankerworm in his breast, and the same discomfort awaits his successor unless it shall be re dressed. Villany so deliberate, so heartless, so ruinous to in dividuals and families, as the case presents, and in which the Spanish Embassy is acknowledged to be deeply implicated, will be followed up by its victims with a firmness of purpose, of which some indication, though as yet hut a faint one, has been afforded in the columns of this Journal. 01 that the Govern merit at Madrid may be certain. HERALD.—The inaugurating address to Congress of the President of the United States may be regarded altogether as a temperate and statesmanlike document, and very commend ably free from that undignified vituperation which, and parti cularly it; respect of banking, fiscal and currency questions commonly disfigured the addresses of General Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. Mr. Tyler offers no decisive indication of his own views or inclinations on the litigated point of the establishment of another national bank. This he submits to Congress, re serving however his own right of confirming or repudiating whatever decision that body may come to. Undoubtedly if no other remedy can be found for effectively redressing the abuses of paper money in the United States, and for reforming those several hundred spurious species of currencies which dis order all the relations of commerce, agriculture, and pro perty, and disgrace as web as discredit the country in the eyes of other nations, for almost every bank in the union has its own distinct and peculiar circulation, the only differ ence in repute being the degree in which some are more worthless and have fallen to lower rates of discount than others, why in that case the sooner a national bank shall be restored or decreed the better. It is quite clear that such an institution, managed with ordinary skill, prudence, and inte grity, and placed beyond the possibility of control of such slashing financiers as Mr. Biddle, and rigorously restricted to a paper circulation convertible into specie at will, might operate very wholesome changes in the economical fortunes of the re public, and not the least beneficial of these changes would be that it would necessarily sweep off into one common insolvency and by scores at once, that detestable swarm of bankrupt state banks by which the whole community in their individual, and also in their State capacity, are daily swindled and their substance devoured. _ Vy ➢lr. Tyler (the President) appears fully alive to the devas tations which these locust State Banks have worked, and are still working, and therefore he enforces the " necessity which exists for adopting some suitable measure whereby the un limited creation of Banks by the States may be corrected in future." To such a measure the States themselves must how ever be consenting parties, for any attempted interference of the Federal Government alone would assuredly be repudiated indignantly as an unwarrantable invasion of those " State rights," about the possible infringement of which the various members of the Federation are so jealous and value so highly. The President himself of course was perfectly cognisant of these facts, for he suggests that such a " result can be most readily achieved by the consent of the States to be expressed in the form of a compact among themselves," to be carried out with the sanction of the Federal Government, without which it could not be completed. HORRIBLE CASE. PARIS, JUNE 23.—1 stated to you briefly yesterday, that tht Court of Correctional Police was engaged in the investigation of an affair deeply interesting to all British parents and guar dians, who, from whatever motive, send their children for education to France. Of that case the following are the lead ing features : Some few years since, the guardian of a yount , English girl of respectable family intrusted her to the care of ° a Mrs. Bre reton, an Englishwoman, then residing at, or about to proceed to, Boulogne- sur-Aler--(a city likely to derive much cele brity from the manner in which scholastic matters are con ducted within it). Mrs. Brereton had a married daughter— Mrs. or Madame Lusignan. After a brief residence in Bou logne, the family came to reside in Paris, whither they brought the young person . . . . now aged about 15 years, and a still younger girl, named . . . . (now 12 years old). Soon after their arrival in Paris, Madame Lusignan made the acquaintance, and became the chere ami of a Baron St. Haouin, late a Captain in a French regiment, but at present the President of the Banque Philanthropique. It was charged that the woman Lusignan brought the two chil dren confided to the care of her mother to the private apart ment of the Baron, No. 45, Rue Laffitte, and aided him in an assault upon the younger child, and in the commission of a capital offence upon the elder. Under the influence of Madame Lusignan, or her mother, the poor children concealed for some time their sad tale, but it came out at length, and on an in quiry into it the elder girl, at the pressing entreaty, as she swore, of Mrs. Brereton, denied the truth of her previous allegation. The younger child never for a moment departed from the statement she had made. The matter, however, reached the ears of the Secretary and some supporters of the British Orphan Institution in Paris. They immediately communicated with the guardian of the elder girl, who promptly came forward, and in consequence a judicial inquiry into the affair was instituted. Nothing could exceed the indignation of the Attorney-General, to whom the inquiry was delegated, on hearing the evidence ; and nothing could go beyond the earnestness with which be entered upon it, nor his determination to probe the subject to the bottom, and to prosecute with the utmost rigour should there appear ground for it. A technical or formal proceeding had, how ever, been neglected, to which it is not possible to allude here, so that corroborative proof of the outrage committed on the elder child was wanting. The ease, therefore, instead of becoming one for the consideration of the Cour d'Assize and a jury, resolved itself into a misdemeanor. The cause came on, as I have already said, before the Seventh Chamber of Correctional Police yesterday. The pro secution was conducted by the Procureur de Roi (substitute of the Attorney-General). Counsel was retained by the friends of the victims, and other advocates appeared for the accused. The nature of the evidence to be given induced the presiding magistrates to order that the court be cleared. The few facts with which I am, therefore, about to trouble you have been communicated to me by an ear-witness, on whose statement I am sure you may implicitly rely. After an animated and eloquent speech from the Procureur du Roi, which lasted during an hour and a quarter, and in which he dwelt upon the enormity of the guilt charged upon the accused (Madame de Lusignan and the Baron Saint Haouin), both present, the children deposed to all the circum stances of the assaults committed upon them, and varied not from their statements in their respective cross-examinations. A young English medical man was then produced, who received a severe reprimand from the Court for having presumed, with out authority, to enter upon an examination in support of the capital charge made by the unhappy victim. The Counsel for Madame Lusignan then rose, and in a long speech sought to extenuate the conduct of his client, whose liaison with the Baron Saint Haouin, he treated with great lightness, and as a natural consequence of her marriage with an Englishman, whose proverbial neglect of their wives was so well known. "Englishmen," said the Learned Gentleman, " treat their wives only as they do their horses." Her pre ference, therefore, of a Frenchman of so distingue an appear ance as the Baron, wan, therefore, pardonable, if not justifi able !" The Baron's lawyer sought not to deny but to miti gate the charge brought against him, trusting that in decid ing upon it the Court would take into consideration " the state of morals of the present time," and regard with indul gence " an old soldier (35 years of age), brought up, not in the observances of private life, but amid the licentiousness of camps." The Court, having deliberated, delivered its judgments, ac quitting the Baron, but pronouncing the woman Lusignan guilty, and sentencing her to imprisonment for one year, to a fine of 100 f., to deprivation of civil rights for two )ears, and to payment of all costs. I have thus, I trust it will be deemed, stated the facts of this horrible case with extreme moderation. In giving them at all have not suffered myself to be influenced by the feelings which even in this modified form, they are calculated to suggest, and have, in fact, been only prevailed upon to submit them to you for publication, in the hope that they will induce caution on the part of such English parents. relatives, or guardians, who shall, after having read them, persist in their determina tion to send their children here for education. Having spoken of the guilty, I may add a compliment to par ties, whose conduct in this matter redounds highly to their credit—l mean the Attorney-General and the English gentle men connected with the British orphan schools.—Correspondent of the Times. ACCIDENT TO THE WIDOW OF DR. BA BINGTON.—This lady is not expected to recover from the effects of the following shocking accident which befel her a few days ago :—She had beckoned a cab opposite to the Pantheon, in Oxford-stree, but the driver not observing her, she stepped over the road towards the cab, when one of the Paddington omnibasses came along, and as the unfortunate lady was retracing her steps to the foot pavement, she was knocked down by the horses, and before the driver could pull up, the wheels passed over her left arm and leg. She was instantly carried into the shop of Mr. Bell, chemist, and from thence in a chair to her residense, No. 31, George-street; Hanover-square, where she was promptly attended by her son, Dr. Babington, Sir Benjamin Brodie, and other gentlemen. The lady's left leg was shockingly crushed, and her left arm broken in several places. The driver of the omnibus rendered every assistance at the time, and was said to be not blameable for the accident. THE MARKET-GARDENERS AND THE NEW POLICE.—For several weeks past a great degree of ill-feeling has existed between the police of the F division and the green-grocers and fruiterers and market-gardeners attend ing Covent Garden-market, arising from the arbitrary conduct of the police, and which will furnish matter for the gentle men of the long robe, in the course of the present sittings after term. It appears that about two weeks ago some gentlemen made a complaint against the police of their not being able to ass through Covent Garden-market in conse quence of the obstructions created by the carts of the retailers of vegetables and other produce brought to market; the result was orders were issued to remove all the vehicles, and so strictly was this order enforced, that carts, whilst at a distance from the footpath, were seized and taken to the Green-yard, as well as the goods in them, and the proprietors conveyed before a Magistrate, and, in general, fined 205., besides havin g to p a y some 7s. or Ba. for fees at the Green-yard. In consequmee of this state of affairs, a meeting of the gardeners was held, and the opinion of Sir W. Follett having been taken and been de clared to be favourable to them, actions are about to be com menced against the alleged offending parties. CORN-LAWS.—A red-hot monopolist, and a Corn-law man, a large landed proprietor, was complaining that a fixed duty would ruin the country. A party asked him if he had an estate to let at Michaelmas next. He replied he had. " Well then, Sir," said the other, " let me know what rent you have had since 1815, and I will take it Gri lease for the next 26 years, and gi ve y ou annua ll y th e average of what you have received for the last 26 years, and also good security." The offer was refused. SINGULARbb justeei ngaAgab:eCv picked e C hi lDENT.

At the beginning of the last term there were in the new trial paper for argument 189 cases; there have been disposed of 104, leaving for argument only 85, being about 60 less than at the corresponding period of 1840, and nearly 80 less than in 1839. It thus appears that the Act of Parliament for additional sittings, aided by the unwea ried efforts of the Jud ges , h as a t length very materially reduced the great arrear of new trials which has for more than ten years pressed so heavily On the suitors of this Court.
