Overflows to the GraudEquestrian Fetes—Last week of Mazeppa. THIS EVENING, SEPT. 3. ill'h-: acted Lord Byron's Spectacle, called MAZEPP A ; OR, HIE WILD HORSE OF THE DESERT; introducing Mr Ducrow•'s Magnificent Stud of Forty Horses,highlly-trained Palfro% 3, Fairy Polley!, Equestrian Troop, and Companies of both Theatres. After which, NEW SCENES IN THE CIRCLE, in the Largest Arena in the World, in which Madame Ducrow, Sig norilillier, the Great American Bider, the British Horseman, Signor Felix Carlo, and the First Artistes in Europe will appear. Co conclude with, TURPIN'S RIDE TO YORK, intro ducing Mr. Ducrow 's Hanoverian Black Charger, and the entire Stud. the improvement of the-revenue and the relief of the public distress—namely, that it might by possibility impede the well-working of the plan for erhancipating the negroes. Instead of calmly examining what would be the effect of the proposed alteration of the Corn-laws, sure of being supported by the monopolists, he intervened with a vote of want of confidence, and brought about a dissolution of Parliament, so that instead of hastening to give relief and to augment the revenue, he has already postponed the possibi lity of either from May to September. In so acting he sported with that deep distress with which, for a purpose, he pretends to sympathise, Hand sacrificed the best interests •of the state to his mean and despicable personal and party . ambition. But if he feels so much for this distress what measures will he now take to remedy it? Report says that he is to ask for a vote of credit, and postpone all legislative measures till he has had time to master all the secrets of office, which it is supposed will be about next February. This is adding intolerable humbug to bad ambition. Sir R.PEEL knows everything necessary to be known as well now as he will know it then. On this sub ject there can be no secret, and such an excuse is sheer fudge, worthy, we believe, of Sir ROBERT PEEL, but wholly unworthy of any straightfor- - ward sincere man. To put off the remedy for the public distress and the means of retrieving the revenue till February, adds insult to the injury he has already so unpatriotically inflicted on the nation. Does he mean to take refuge in the assertion 'now almost daily made by his journals, that le-. gislation cannot. remedy the distress? W by, then, does the legislature meddle with trade ? That will be a just excuse when there does not exist on the statute-book a single impediment to commerce. We, who demand perfectly free trade, might make such an excuse; but, for the . meddling Corn-law maker to allege it, is to acknowledge, however powerful he may be for mischief, that he is impotent to achieve any , good. For Sir ROBERT PEEL to allege such an excuse, is to degrade his own art, and to teach the people that it is folly to expect the least benefit from legislation. It is an idle excuse. Wherefore is he Prime Minis ter if he cannot promote the public welfare ? But, 'on whatever pretext, it is intended, we un derstand, to put off effective- legislation till February, which will postpone all relief for nine months from the - introduction of the Whig Budget, in order to gratify Sir R. PEEL and the Tories. We are well pleased to reflect, also, that this cunning man, had he been sincere, upright, old intelligent, might have attained his present high station without discredit. Had he hastened to take into consideration the Budget of the Whigs, he might, without any difficulty, have demon strated its inefficiency; he might, at the same time—for it is idle to say that he re quired official information—Mr. HUME would have made no such paltry excuse—have sug gested better measures. He might have proved to the .whole public that he knew more of the matter than the Ministers, and he might have been carried into office as a patriot statesman, in stead of the leader of a band of monopolists. The cunning man has overreached himself. By sa crificing the public welfare to his personal ambi tion he has earned the contempt of all right thinking men, and ensured, we believe—tbr it would be an eternal reproach to England if such a rotten structure could stand—the speedy over throw of his power. If it be said he had not the power to effect this good, and that he was not bound as a Member of Parliament to make any such proposition, we reply that he had the power to prevent the Mi nisters achieving their proposed good, and that he was bound as an individual Member of Parlia ment not to do that unless he offered something else. That he had the power to stop them threw on him the responsibility of instantly doing bet ter. But avowing mercenary motives, as well as had ambition, he excused himself from being a patriot by alleging that he had not received a fee. Judged by the words of his own mouth, England's present Prime Minister is as sordid as he is cunning and ambitious. , AccOrding to the reports of the Tory journals, we must add Sir HENRY HARDINGE to the four Commoners whom we yesterday mentioned as forming the Cabinet. His appointment will not alter its character, or redeem it from being aris cratic and boroughmongering. Sir H. HAn- DINGE, as a politician, is the Duke of NORTHUM BERLAND'S man, and sits for the borough of Launceston. This Gallant Officer was once pointed out by. Blachwood as the person who might be relied on to put down Chartists, Radi cals, and Repealers by the use of the sword. GOD grant that his entrance into the Cabinet as Secretary at War may not be the forerunner of commotions which some men are apt to provoke when they expect in them to shine. The duty on wheat is now down to Os. Bd. per quarter, and as the average of the week ending 4ugust 27th was 765. ld., while the average of the six weeks ending at the same date is 71s. 4d., it is quite - certain that next week, the average of the six weeks will be above 725, if it is not above 735, and. the duty will be down to 2s 844 if not. •to • ls. Under the present law nearly all the • corn which we shall import troth the Continent this year will come in at a very low, if not a•no— ininal, duty; and, the protection promised to the :,fairner will, in point of fact, turn out next to nothing. The averages have been worked up on the e pectation that the crop would be very deficient, and the scheme to effect it was laid and begun to be carried into execution before the recent fine weather, Which will rescue a large part of the harvest, and make it much more abundant than was - expected. It is probable, therefore, and w 6 hope.the farmers will look to this, that the prices . 'they may obtain fur their wheat will not be commensurate to their expectations, and perhaps not equal to the expense of growing it. They may depend that they play this game with the chances much against them. It' they hasten to send their wheat to market—which, however, it is. difficult for them to do—they only reduce the - price by their own efforts. If they wish to • hold it, they must look to the monied man who speculates in corn fbr assistance, and he will be sure to make his profit out of them. To make the corn market a place of gambling•—to attract to it large monied capitalists in the expectation of making great profits —must be injurious to the farmer, who has neither time nor money to en able him to compete with the sharp gentlemen who have both, and work the market to their es pecial advantage. We should not be surprised to find the farmers grumbling before the begin ning of the next year. The labouring classes would do well to observe that the new occupations which arise in the pro gress of.. society are always better paid than the old ones. Agricultural labour, and hand-loom weaving, with all kinds of mere unskilled hod carrying toils, are worse paid than joiners, gas fit &c. &c. The' fact and the ex planation are both equally clear. The old arts are overrun with candidates for employment, the new are not, because it takes time to learn them,. 'and' .perhaps to reconcile men to the ex ercise of them. It is a fact, then, that wages are always 'protanto higher for practising new arts than for practising old ones, and it is a principle that such must always be the case. The labour ing classes, therefore, are as much interested as any other class, if not more, in promoting in ventions which give rise to new arts. We have already pointed out to them that, in the manu factoring districts cvherc the new arts have arisen; and where machines have most come into use, the whole quantity• of employment has much increased, wherefore' they have no need to fear .a lessened demand for labour from the multipli 'cation of inventions and `machines : On these several accounts it is the duty and the interest of not clothing for the sailors. The Diademe of the line, which has not gone to sea with the squadron, is to un dergo some:repairs in the roads. ` - At the moment of our going to press, the steamer which is to bring the mail from Africa has not arrived. We do nut know to what cause this extraordinary delay is owing ; the weather is very fine, and the only reason which we can account for the non-arrival of the packet is, that it has been detained at Algiers for the public service. It is very impatiently expected, and will pro bably arrive this evening, or in the course of to-morrow.• The Sentinere deda Marine of the 29th' thinks that the delay of .the packet is doubtlessly occasioned by the gale, which must have prevailed two days on the coast of Africa. The same journal says that the general in spection of the squadron by Admiral Hugon, commenced at the Ilyeres islatids on the 28th. A letter froni - Marid of the 24th observes that the withdrawing of the• Bill for the cession of the islands of Annabon and Fernando Po to, England, coincides with the evacuation of the .Isle del Rey at Mahon by our Government.. It now remains to be seen whether the English will evacuate the establishment they have founded on Fernandd Po, as we have evacuated ours at Mahon.—Le Commerce. the labouring classes to promote to the extent of their means the progress of society. They are especially called on to assist in removing every obstacle to augment the supply of food, and generally to the increase of wealth, for'on that depends the progress of population, and on the progress of population depends all impeovements. Our readers already, we are sure, see where we would land. The Corn-laws impede the progress of wealth and population, and the working classes have a strong interest in procuring the repeal of them. That more new arts and higher wages may .come into use, let the labourers combine to put down the aristocratic restraints on the increase of food. According. to the Seventh Annual Report of the Poor-law Commissioners, - which appears else where, the effect at first of opening workhouses in Dublin was to make a marked reduction in the mendicants of the streets, but the places of those who took refuge in the workhouse were soon filled by a fresh influx of beggars from the surrounding' districts. After a short time, too, some of those who went into the workhouses, got tired and returned to the streets, so that Dublin was, after a short time, more fully 'stocked with beggars than before. Such a re sult does not say much fur the New Poor-law. It is more satisfactory to find from the Report, that the Irish are becoming more provident, and have begun to acquire a clearer perception of their real interests, and of the necessity of rely ing on their own efforts. They are likewise bet ter informed with respect to their social condi tion, and the duties it imposes on them indivi dually and collectively, and hence their improv ed habitS and more general self-reliance. It is stated by other authorities, that the use, of wheaten bread is extending, in Ireland, and superseding potatoes. We are inclined, therefore, to hope that the condition of the Irish is flist improving, and we hope that im provement will not be stopped by the change of Administration. We trust, too, as it seems to spring up amongst the people themselves, that Tory legislators, as it makes itself more manifest, will not take credit for an improvement which they have not been able to mar. It would be as well also if the Poor-law Commissioners, in speaking of such improvements, were to ascer tain, if possible, how much of them are the fruit of natural causes, always at work to increase the prosperity of society, and how much flows from legislation. The King of Saxony, during his stay at Munich, be stowed the Cross of the Order Of Merit on Dr. Herrmann, the distinguished politidal economist, and chief of the sta tistical bureau. • 1 We have just received from an authentic source in Syria, a distressing aecount of the de plorable misgovernment of that country by the Turkish authorities. Notwithstanding the pro mulgation of the Hatti Schariff the Christians are everywhere subjected to insults and annoy ance unknown while •Syria was under the iron yoke of MEHEMET ALL In a letter from a distinguished British officer at Beyrout we find if stated that even in that town —in the presence of the British flag—all persons in the streets were to' rise on the approach of a Turkish Captain, and not to presume to sit down before he had passed, with other tyrannical and capricious regulations of a like descrip tion. " The Turks," writes this gallant officer, " have all of a sudden made demands on the people which greatly frightened everybody. They demanded a tariff of 12 per cent. upon every article, so that if a mountaineer has but one orb of silk he is to pay upon selling it 12 per cent., and then the articles he purchases in return must pay 12 per cent., so that, in reality, lie pays 24 per cent. This amounts nearly to one-fourth of the people's property, which is to be thus taken from them every year. The PACHA has likewise, with the con currence of the Council of the Mustashan, de manded the tribute money from th e Ch r i s ti ans , viz. GO piastres and upwards each, according to his or her rank. He next demanded a tenth of their property. Next the Weregie, or poll-tax —the impost whose exaction caused the Syrians to revolt against the Egyptians. From Le banon, oppressed by war exactions, he de manded a sum in purses equal to 20,0001. ster ling. These demands are made without even the power to enforce them, and in the teeth of the most solemn promises that the hard battle which the people fought for the SULTAN would obtain for them the mildest treatment. Moreover, these demands are made by the Turks when the minds of the Syrians are unsettled, and when French, Russian, and 'Egyptian emissaries are going about in crowds, stimulating the people to throw off the yoke of the brutal Turks. The Christians, too, are 'badly treated by NAJIB PACHA at Da mascus. He forbade them to wear white garments, and otherwise so oppressed and haras sed them, that they mourned the departure of ImtAttim PACH A, tyrant as he was. Such op pression failed not to excite general indignation. The people every where were ready to revolt, crying out that the Pacha came to rob, and not to govern.them, and but for the British officers, who in some sort compelled the Pacha to forego the more odious of his claims, the Turks would have been again driven out of Syria. But as the Paella insisted upon being made personally acquainted with the state of public feeling in Lebanon, a meeting of Emirs, Sheiks, Bishops, and other chiefs, took place at Ain Anoob, a vil lage about three hours' journey from Beyrout. About SOO mountain chiefs attended. The Emir BESCHIR proposed to the meeting, in the name of the Government, the adoption of a tariff of 12 per cent. on silk, oil, and tobacco, and also over and above this •an annual payment equal to 20,000/---one-half to defray the ex penses of the Government, the other to pass into the Imperial Treasury at Constantinople. After six days spent in deliberating the chiefs declared that the people were not able to pay 12 per Cent. Tariff; that they could not pay the Sui:rAN more than about 7,0001. annually, but that they were willing to serve their country free of expense; and that 1,0001. per annum was a sum sufficient to defray the charges of the Government. Syria had no need of so many Paellas, nor could the country afford to pay the salaries of the many useless officers quartered upon it by the'Porte. The meeting, in conclu sion, declared that the chiefs would peti tion the SULTAN respecting these grievances, and if redress was refused they would im plore the interference of the Great Powers on their behalf: Every body now looks to what the Porte will do, and if an un favourable answer be returned the people will redress their wrongs by force." Another letter from an officer travelling in the southern dis tricts of Syria, states that the Turks there have neither money, industry, nor activity of any kind. They depend for subsistence on what they can plunder from the Christians and Jews. They are as proud, as idle, and as inso lently tyrannical as their ancestors were when they first overran the Greek empire. Such are the accounts given by the most intelligent British officers of high rank and unimpeachable integrity of the state of Syria. They speak for themselves. Nevertheless, we shall take an early opportunity of making such comments upon them as we find suggested in other valuable documents received from the same qnarter. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all reached us, but yesterday's express from Paris enabled us to anticipate much of their contents. The following extracts are not, however, without some interest : (From the Toulonnaise of the 29th August.) " A steamer is to fetch Vice-Admiral Bauden and his family. It is since said that the steamers Veloce and Camelion will bring back the new Maritime Prefect, who is expected in the beginning of September. " The squadron, it is said, will not go far, because several ships of the line, for instance the .Friedland, have . The President of the Second Chamber in Baden, Pro fessor Dudlinger, died at Friburg, on the 24th instant. M. Duttlinger was nne of the oldest and firmest advo cates of reform, and the cause of liberty in Germany loses in him one of its most rkspected and most active advocates: The Haiiiburgh papers state that the Supreme yri halal of Hanover has at length pronounced its judgment on the Members of t4te Municipality,of the capital, who were put on their trial, two years ago, for an act of oppo sition to the new Constitution. M?Bumann, head of the Municipality, has been sentenced to two months' impri sonment, or to 400 crowns' fine ; two other Members to five weeks, or 250 crowns ; a Municipal Judge to four weeks and a halt; or 225 crowns ; the Municipal Secre tary and another Member to four weeks, or 200 crowns, and the Assessor, with six Senators, to two weeks, or 100 crowns, the commutation being •at the rate of 50 crowns (about 250 fr.) a-week. The Brussa; Independent states that the liabilities of the house of Geymuller at Vienna are now known to amount to 12 or 13,millions of florins, being upwards of thirty millions of francs.

Bd. per quarter, and next week is expected to see its lowest, when, no doubt, most of the speculators will clear it for home consumption. In this way about a million of quarters may be available for consumption, so that prices may be expected to decline. Such a supply as this, however, will not be more than adequate to our wants, and we may even require more between this and next autumn, as stocks of old grain are low, and the crops will, no doubt, be slightly deficient. It is the near approach of the 4th of the month, and the payments for these foreign supplies.. whielf no doubt cause the present tightness of . the Money Market, and to which the measures of the Bank of England, in the extension of discount . accommodation, will afford no more relief than is absolutely required.

LONDON : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1341. Th hollow PEEL, organs are endeavouring to ItlOw out their favourite rind into a show of sub stance by the sickly breath of spurious huma nity. He is said "to have acknowl e d ge d i n em phatic language his sympathies with the dis tresses of the working people." How kind in him to sympathise with those whom lie dooms to starve. Oh, but he does not believ,e, we are told, that his preventing the cutters of Sheffield from exchanging their scissors'and knives for the flour .of the inhabitants of the vale of the 111ississipi causes any distress. He does not believe that for those to lay restrictions on trade, industry, and liberty, who are honoured and paid to pre vent all such restrictions, is injurious or wrong. "What Sir ROBERT PEEL really believes; we pre tend not to•say. He has been so long, in the habit of using words, lawyer-like, to attain an end, not to signify his own belief, that we doubt very much wit - ether he himself knows how to .express what be belieVes ; but if he really be- Seve what is ascribed to him by way of excusing lldui for withholding bread from the people, his credulity surpasses that of the devout believers in the slaughtered Tuo;tr.. . We cannot accept an excuse for the Right Hon. Baronet which anni hilates h.'s intellect, to give him a heart, and we set down his pretended syMpathies with the dis tresses of the people, as included•in the part he was fir the moment called upon to aet,.' • He does not believe, it is said, that. the passing Of such measures as, the late Ministry'reCom mended would give relief to the people ; which is possible, but for that belief we should • not guar rel ivith him. We never approved of the Budget. We always said that the duties du Our colonial tiaigar should he redUced, and a larger reduction made in the discriminating duty on foreign sugar. We always said that, to make the, reduc tion of the sugar duty profitable to the revenue, it was indispensable that the Corn-laws should be abolished. We never advocated or defended a fixed bread tax in any shape or form. We should not quarrel with Sir R. PEEL, therefore, for taking a liberty - with the Budget which we took ourselves ; and our condemnation of him as a statesman in respect to that, rests on very diffe rent grounds. He admits, we are told, the distresses of the people, which are undoubtedly very gre a t, if not unexampled, • and he sympathizes 'with ti tem . . He is aware of the deficiency . m the reven ue ,, f or that is t h e chief ground 'on which his party ac , cuse, and most unjustly accuse,.the late Ministers. Here are - two a dmitted . eVils, which any states man haViner a heart an 4 saottld no t b e too ioOn remedied. If he loved his countrymen—if he valued our institutions, en 441Tel:ell by deficient f' of means on the one hand, andgreat diseoritent onthe other—he would have discarded all other considerations, and called on the Parliament instantly to devote fts best energies to ascertain the causes of these evils, and possible to apply a.remedy to them. Did he so patriotically conduct himself? Not he. Not only did he take no step, which was his duty as a Member of 'Parliameni, to relieve the public distress and increase the public revenue,, but he would not allow others to take any such steps, and stopped and threw them down when they made the first feeble and totterinc , advances. By that he served himself and his party, but he committed a high crime and misdemeanor against the nation: • • Acknowledging these: two facts of the distress of the, public • and the deficiency •of • the revenue, the Ministers announced a' series' of measures which they affirmed would reliev'e the distress and ,auginent the, reVenue.

Did he, too, at the same time, having a stateman's mind rich in means to 'pro mote.o 'nation's welfare, lay a Budget of his own alongside that of M.

PARLIAMENTARY. Viscount Powerscourt and Viscount Sydney are both mentioned as Lords in Waiting to the Queen. Mr. Edward Drummond has been appointed by. Sir R. Peel his Private Secretary. Yesterday evening another: dispatch was forwarded by the Right Hon. Premier to her Majesty at Claremont. An express was sent yesterday to Sir Edward Sugden, at Thames Ditton, Surrey. Mr. O'Connell, as soon as he arrives in Dublin, is ex pected to hold an immediate meeting of the Irish Re formers, to propose a series of resolutions declaratory of the course to be pursued in the new Parliament. PUBLXC OPINION. The Morning Post, speculating on the household ap -pointments, says :—" With respect to the high offices of her Majesty's household we are enabled positively to assert that no definitive arrangement has yet been made. In this department the personal wishes of her Majesty will be, as they ought to be, paramount to every other consideration."—The Tory tone is very much lowered now, to what it was when the faction last grasped at power some five or six years ago. Then, nothing would suit their high notions of authority, but her Ma jesty's consenting to discard all her old friends, whether she were averse to the sacrifice or not ; now " her per sonal wishes are to be paramount to every other consi deration ! " Having failed in their attempt to bully Royalty, the TOries,. with the cringing instinct of all bullies.. have at length discovered, that the best thing they can do is to lower their pretensions, and practise the soothing system. And yet their leader makes a boast of his independence—he who—to say nothing of this fresh proof of sycophantic servility— cannot stir a step without heaing the chains of the landowners con stantly clanging at his heels In another article the Post has the following remarks : —"ln the whole history of self-deception of party there never has occurred anything more preposterous than the notion of the Whigs that their policy must, be adopted by the country, and that even its opponents are emulous of becoming its advocates. No man who raves in Bedlam could commit greater outrages upon sense, coherence, and probability than this. The country has been dis tinctly appealed to upon this Whig policy ; it has given its decided vote of disapprobation ; anctavhile the con sequences of that vote are ringing from one end of Europe to the other, the Whige say that their policy must be adopted by the country, and will probably be adopted by the Conservative leaders !! "—Why, the leading Tories themselves do not dare, boldly and decidedly, to impugn the Whig policy !, They carp at it indeed, and nibble at it •, but this is the very utmost they .dare do. Will Sir Robert Peel, with Lord Ripon in his Cabinet, venture openly to set his face against free trade ? Will he have the assurance to declare that there shall be no alteration in the Corn-laws ; that our commercial system shall not be carefully considered, with a view to its improvement ? Certainly not ; he has at least cunning enough to see the suicidal folly of making, such decided declarations ; and so far, therefore, indi rectly acknowledges that the spirit of Whig policy is sound, though some of its details may be erroneous. His opposition to this policy has been a shabby trick—• a mere - feint—throughout —every way characteristic of the man who has played a false part throughout life ; who is neither Whig nor Tory—" neither fish, flesh, nor good herring"—but an obsequious waiter on the Chapter of Accidents. The Advertiser thus describes the New Ministry : "It is a Ministry of apostates. Its leading members— its Ripons, its Stanleys, and its Grahams— are one an d all renegades of the rankeSt kind. Nor would the sobri quet of the renegade Cabinet be an inappropriate name by which to baptize this coalition medley."—And yet it is from a Cabinet thus constituted that the Tory organs tell us the country is to expect the greatest benefits ! " Can any good come out of Nazareth ?" Can Ireland hope any thing from Arms-Bill and Registration-Bill Stanley ? Or Reform from apostate Graham, or wishy washy Ripon ? Will Aberdeen, the avowed disciple of Metternich, enlarge and elevate the character of our foreign policy ; or the Duke of Buckingham lend his support to a judicious alteration in the Corn-laws ? The bare idea of such suppositions is absurd ! It is comfort ing, however, to reflect that the cause of public morality —on which the Times has lately been laying great stress —will gain considerably by the accession to office of Lord Lyndhurst, who, having no conscience of his own to look after, will have more time to look after that of her Majesty! The Times loudly insists on the necessity of ruling, Ireland with a high hand. We subjoin our Contempo rary's remarks on this subject :—" With the strength which a Conservative Government will possess in both Houses of the Legislature, we are persuaded that it will not hesitate to put in force the law already existing against sedition; or, if that be insufficient, to call upon Parliament for such further enactments as shall effec tually stop the inflammatory harangues of the mischief mongers. This is a prevention worth a whole bureau of violent remedies ex postfacto. The waters will not flow pure till you stop the miscreants who poison the springs. '— Here is a tough morsel for the Tamworth quack doctor to digest at his leisure. But willhe take the hint thus adroitly thrown out by the Times? Will he dare to put down liberty of speech in Ireland, tinder the Jesuitical pre tence that it is sedition ? Will he refuse her equal jus tice with England, and then gag her if she venture on remonstrance or agitation ? Not so, Sir Robert Peel is the very last man to play a bold, uncompromising game. He is as timid in the wrong, as he is tame in the right; and without venturing on the bold step of absolutely coercing Ireland, will keep her in a constant state of fret ,and worry. The Herald says, in reference to the Duke of Wel lington's refusal to accept office The conduct of the Duke of Wellington in the formation of the Conserva tive Cabinet has been quite characteristic of his noble nature. His Grace's colleagues pressed on him the ac ceptance of the Presidency of the Council or the Foreign office. The Noble Duke, offering to the new Adminis tration all his personal assistance, and willing to under take the labdurs of leading in the House of Lords, felt that his bodily strength and somewhat precarious health might render his performance of official duties less-regu lar and complete than his own high standard of perform - - ance dictated, and therefore determined not to assume the duties of any c ffi2e in which lie might disappoint his own feelings, or delay in the slightest manner public business. Thus in every action of the Duke Of Welling ; ton's life does a sense of duty, to the country predoinprite. ' —ls it not somewhat curious that the .most inkential, sagacious, and straightforward man amo‘ !T g the ories, declines having anything to do with them, except as a volunteer ?It cannot be from age or infirmity —for the Tory organs themselves assure us that he was never better in his life; and if he be equal to the difficult task of defending Sir Robert Peel's policy in the House 'of 'Lords, the duties of office—and we presume he was of fered his choice of places—cannot press very heavily on The Chronicle remarks as follows on Sir Robert Peel's late attack on O'Connell :--- "This was the sort of oppor tunity which Peel seized for a kick at O'Connell. Reply or retort there could be none. He had him safe, and his own phalanx was marshalled at his back. The laughter, the shout, the yell, were all, as he knew, awaiting his signal. He knew it was no matter what he said, so that it was but vituperative ; its inherent pertinence or power would be superfluous. The power and perti nence were in the strength of three hundred pair of Tory . lungs. And so he laid it on, like a big bully of a boy, with all the school round him, upon, an opponent who cannot then return blow for blow, The Tory Journals which. praise this external, seeming, and cowardly tri umph, have yet a latent consciousness of its character." The Kent Herald gives the following character of the defunct Cabinet We have no desire to write the epi taph of the Whig Ministry. Too often, too bitterly, have they deceived tile hopes of the Reformers—too succes fully have they opposed the reform movement which at one time, and but for their opposition, had the power to establish the ascendancy of the popular interest. The Whigs, with a bias occasionally towards Liberal principles disqualify themselves by their aristocratic fastidiousness for the possession of office ; they are best fitted for oppo sition where they suggest and press upon the Tories more liberal measures than they have the courage to propose, or the means of carrying, while themselves are Ministers." The Dublin Pilot thus speaks of O'Connell'S late speech in Parliament :-r-" If we wanted evidence of its power, we need not read the speech —we see it in the fury it created in the chief of the faction against which it was chiefly directed. There was something comfort able and consoling in seeing how it made Peel foam with rage. What an culogium on the orator to find a man, usually as cold as if chiselled from an iceberg— schooled and practised in systematic hypocrisy—driven from his imperturbability—to make a bad attempt at the fish woman." We quote the following from the Clansford Chro nicle :—" The Right Hon. Baronet has now the ball at his feet. He is essentially the corner -stone of his party. His great talents, his unwearied caution, his moderation,• and the faith, as we have said, of the people in his libe ral principles, have enabled him to raise and conduct that party to a position to which no other political man of the day could have led them ; and having accom plished this, he will do injustice to himself, and an in justice to the country, if he suffors his own free opinion to be cramped, and his improvements circumscribed, by Men of less enlarged and less enlightened minds." MONEY—TR AD IS—, OOIYMEDIME, The dismal state of trade experienced in most of the manufacturing towns and districts, meets with an excep tion at Hawi,..k. All hands are employed, the demand for various articles great, and business seems to be ex tending. The present price in London for the best or " priced" bread, is elevenpence the four-poundlloaf, which is fivepence dearer at the present minute than the same weight of bread in Paris. This at the distance of not more than thirty hours' post from London. ura.az. The Wheat harvest is now all got in round Paris. The crops of various hinds still on the ground are stated to be in unusually good condition. ' 1NC24.17.11.7. .P...2‘11) rYEILIT,ABY. Great bustle prevails at the dockyard, Sheerness, bringing ships-forward for commission. Her Majesty's ship Waterloo of 120 guns, as also the Dido, were on Wednesday taken into the fitting basin. ELECTXONEER,ING. Mr. O'Connell having decided on sitting for Cork, a requisition signed by upwards of GOO, including all the Liberal gentry and 501. freeholders of the county, has been addressed to Mr. Corbally, the late Member for Meath, calling on him to stand for this county. SPORTING. The cricket match between Nottingham and Kent was played last week at Nottingham. The Kentish men were eventually the winners by a majority of twenty two runs. THEATRICAL. Vauxhall Gardens, celebrated for more than a century and a half, closes its doors this evening for ever. The sale, by order of the Court of Review, takes place on Thursday next. At the Theatre Royal Dublin, Grisi and Lablache played in Norma on Tuesday. The audience was very brilliant, and among the distinguished visitors were Moore, the poet, and Prince George cf. Cambridge. COUIZT-PASIXIONABLE. The Archbishop of York has arrived at 13ishopthorpe. his seat in Yorkshire, and gives public dinners there or the 14th, 21st, and 28th instant. The Earl of Harewood has quite recovered from his recent indisposition, and leaves Hanover-square next week for his seat at Leeds. The Countess of Jersey and Lady Villiers leave town on Monday for the seat of Viscount and Viscountess Dungannon, in Denbighshire, where a large circle will assemble during the festivities at Wynnstay. Lord and Lady John Russell leave town to-morrow for Woburn Abbey. Sir Robert Ker Porter sailed last Wednesday in the Jupiter steamer, to pass the winter at St. Petersburg. Lady Seymour and her infant son are going on very favourably. The Queen Dowager goes to Belton House, Lincoln shire, for a week on the 17th instant. The Duchess of Gloucester is also expected there on the same day. MXSCELMADTEOUS. From Leucate, the Lover's Leap, now known as St. Mauro, there have leaped to cure themselves of the pas sion of love, with Sappho at their head, 124 males and 12G females. Of these 51 males and GI females were cured, and 110 drowned. Mr. Cockburn, of the Western Circuit, has just been appointed Queen's Counsel, by the Lord Chancellor. Upwards of 100 workmen are now engaged in snaking the alterations in the Home Park, Windsor ; a large portion of the park, to the extent of several hundred yards in length, has been severed in two by a deep cutting, which will divert the old foot-path, leading from Windsor to Datchet. Three thousand pounds are to be expended on these alterations. A meteoric stone lately fell in Tenessee, the original weight of which was 2,0001b5. From a brilliant steel polish on some parts of the mass, it was supposed at first to be silver. It has since been divided into fragments, and one man asks 1,500 dollars for a piece, which is more than it would be worth at pure silver. At a meeting of the Zoological Society, held yester day afternoon in Pall-mall, the Report stated that the number of visitors to the Gardens in July was 21,619, from whom 842/. I Is. had been received,. and in Au-, gust, 17,333, from whom 6651. Is. had been received. Among the presents made to the Society were several rare species of monkeys from the Duke of Northumber land and other donors. The valuable possession of three chimpanzees was also referred to. The Times gives the following striking instance of Sir Robert Peel's magnanimity on his return from Windsor on Tuesday!—" As the Right Hon. Baronet quitted the town he became more thoughtful, until aroused from his reflections by observing, as he came within view of the Slough station, that the train by which he was desirous of returning was in motion. It is said that great minds are often affected by trifling circumstances, but, what-. ever Sir Robert may have felt at the disappointment, he betrayed not the slightest irritation, but, coolly descend ing from his carriage, supplied himself with tickets for the next train, and walked about."—Who can fail to recognise in this impressive incident the magnani mous intellect born to regenerate an empire? Though he was too late for the 'Windsor train, and knew well that the safety of Great Britain depended on his immediate return to London, yet Sir Robert Peel was so far from being overwhelmed by his sense of such an awful re sponsibility, that he coolly descended from his carriage, bought a ticket for the next train, and then coolly walked about until it was time to start ! What lofty equinimity is here ! What a truly philosophic resigna tion to circumstances ! Little minds would have stormed and stamped with vexation ; but the majestic intellect of the Right Hon. Baronet at once convinced him of the expediency of taking things coolly ! lie yielded to the circumstances which he could not controul, just as the Bishop of Exeter did, when he resigned—though with a broken-heart—the fat Rectory of Stanhope ! To-morrow will be the anniversary of the death of John Home, author of the tragedy of Doutfs, who died in 1808. A short time previous to - his death he had the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Siddons perform . his Lady Ran dolph. his grey hair and venerable appearance, as he sat in one of the stage-boxes, was very noticeable. HUIVZOITHS Or THE Day. It is stated that Miss Stopford, daughter of Sir Ro• bert Stopford, will be united, on the 19th instant, tt Lord Henry Russell, late of the 74 gun-ship Vanguard.

This magnificent undertaking is very nearly corn pleted, and will he opened throughout in a few days, to the great delight and accommodation of the public, who are put to frequent annoyance by some of the coach proprietors. One of these people, a Mr. Capps, or captious, renders himself particularly obnoxious by his conduct in the booking-office, sometimes keeping passengers so long that the time is up for the departure of the coach before they can get their tickets ; on other occasions ac tually refusing the money because the time is up, although two hours are allowed by the Directors to per form a journey of only thirteen and a half miles ! The disappointment thus created excites very just in dignation ; and is, of course, injurious to the in terests of tho Railway Company who pay heavily for the use of these coaches, amounting per Week to about twelve hundred pounds—a sum which will be saved immediately the line is opened to Brighton. This circumstance operates no doubt on the feeling exhi• bited by Mr. Captious, who is indifferent about the Railway, in the forlorn hope that those who are dis appointed may go by one of his three-legged coaches to town in something less than seven hours. Notwithstanding the time taken to perform the journey, to Hayward's Heath by the coaches, passengers are con veyed to London by the railway in less than four hours, and when the line is opened, the whole distance will _be travelled in about two hours ! Indeed, we understandlt is in contemplation to have one train perform the journey „in. about an hour and a-half from London to Brighton.. This will be a wonderful accommodation to the .public; especially to those whose time is limited. A personi can go down and enjoy the sea breezes or the; bracing air of the Downs for about eight or : nine hours, and be back to London in the time' now occupied travelling on the dusty road We; have before impressed on the Directors the expediency of making the fares as moderate as possible, and they . may depend on a large return. • In this case a proper liberality will prove its own reward. We have now travelled on the line rep ea t e dl y , an d can,: from personal observation, bestow our unqualified praise on the management. Everything is admirably ap- • pointed—always excepting Mr. Captious and Co.— and when the whole line opens, London • will fiy to Brighton, to enjoy the splendid attrac tions of that first of watering places. When a tempest prevails from the south-west, the seacoast at Brighton presents a scene magnificently sublime—the mountain wave rolling onward in all its stormy terrors ! It will be worth a " Jew's eye" to go down and behold such a spectacle for one hour. The road distance is re duced about two miles by the railway, being o n l y 50'- 2 miles—nearly a direct line.
