PEEL, they will not concede to him the right, without forcing him to a division, to postpone all inquiry into the effects of the starvation laws, and all relief till next February. Indeed, we may say that we are sure they will not. There are some honest and bold hearts who —not questioning thoseprerogatives of a Parlia ment, the wires which move the royal puppet which Tories and Whigs alike work to their own advantage, but making some direct motion--will bring the House of Commons to a decision on the question, in substance, whether the patience and the obedience of the shivering, half-fed, and half clothed people, shall be put—while their suffer ings are unrelieved and uncared for—to the test of the winter. If it be the first plan of Sir R. PEEL'S Government to prorogue the Parliament, and throw the people on their own resources, while that Parliament, by its laws, cuts up their resources by the root, we must hold him and hi s colleagues up to the indignation of the living generation, and the execration of posterity, as the provokers of disobedience, disturbance, and rebellion. If the power of the Executive Go vernment is to be employed in upholding such laws—laws infiniteiy worse than no laws at all— the very existence of such a coercive Govern ment will be itself anarchy, and wild anarchy will be the result of its acts. The Tories will, no doubt, wish to shuffle off the business, and pro rogue Parliament, that they may enjoy office and salary undisturbed by the complaints of the wretches whom they so inhumanly doom to star vation ; but we doubt if they will dare to hazard the peace of the empire.

THE RAILWAY SUN, AND THE PARLIAMENTARY SUN, ARE NOW RE-PUBLISHED, PRICE SIXPENCE EACH. Sun Office, Aug. 30, 1841. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. M. mule 5) minutes after 5 1 Evening..... 23 minutes after f. Prorogue now ! Why, it rains—it's unplea santly cold : the weather has a November feel, and the harvest is not yet gathered in. Fields of corn are yet unharvested, and even uncut in the south, while in the north they are not yet ripe. The supply which can be obtained from abroad, if we ransack the whole world, will not, as the Herald has informed the public, exceed two millions of quarters of wheat. Week after week the aspect of public affairs changes with the weather. The fate of the people, and with that the fate of the Government, hangs on a few days' sunshine or rain. Making sport as it were of knowledge, science, and all human discretion, and reducing civilized society to the condition of the savage, who from ignorance cannot provide for to-morrow, Tory legislation has brought so ciety and the Government to a sorry dependence on contingencies, against which human prudence, if not interfered with by brutal legislative rapa city and legislative ignorance, can and would provide. The QUEEN is dependent on Sir R. PEEL; Sir R. PEEL is dependent on the consti tuencies; the constituencies are dependent on the weather; and the weather, in spite of con stituencies, PEEL, and the QUEEN, positively for bids the prorogation of Parliament till it has taken some steps to abate the sufferings of the people. Parliament does not possess the power, indeed, to undo the mischief it has done. It cannot wipe out the effects of its own deeds. It cannot raise crops on the sudden, though it has, with fiendish malignity, forbidden them to be raised. What it can do is to show sympathy with the people, and abolish its restrictions on 'raising food, which will immediately encourage persons to prepare for next year; and imme diately stimulate the capitalists to give employ ment to more labourers here, and enable them to buy food, while it will point to the employ ment of as much land to the cultivation of that species of food which will next year be the earli est ripe. It may be the wish and intention of the new Prime Minister to prorogue Parliament till after Christmas. We beg to tell him most plainly, but most respectfully, that he must not, without first doing something for commerce and the people, unless he desires to provoke a wide spread sedition. If it come, on his head be the guilt, and on his neck part of the punishment. The following paragraph was carefully copied into the Post yesterday morning : THE FACTORY SYSTE3I.—It must be apparent to every one residing in a manufacturing district, that . the indis criminate mixing of the sexes in our factories is a most prolific source of demoralization and pauperism. I n almost every case of appli ca t ion o f illegitimate children that has come before the Magistrates here or at Hud dersfield the mother had been working in a factory, and in order to that application it was necessary that she should have received relief from the parish, thereby making herself a pauper. It is high time that some legislative "nactment was in force to put a check to this growing and debasing evil.—Leeds Intilligencer. Though the palpable explanation of the-circum stance of all illegitimate children being born of mothers who work in factories, is probably to be found in the fact that the majority of women who work at all work in them, the factory owners and those who consider the manufactu ring system, though perhaps not carried on ex actly to their theory on the present plan, as an essential step in the progress of society, will ne vertheless see in this paragraph a specimen of those systematic attacks on the factory system which the allies of the landlords are now making. The paragraph is not more rational than if we were to say of any agricultural district—Almost every case of application on account of illegiti ' mate children that comes before the magistrates • of -- hundred, the mother has been working in the fields, or has been a farmer's servant, and therefore agriculture must be a prolific source of ' demoralization. If we were able to prove that in proportion to population the illegitimate births, and mothers seeking relief, are greater than in the factory districts, we might well exclaim it is high time that some Legislative enactment was put in force to check this growing and de basing evil. But that would be as foolish a mode of meeting the complaint as the complaint is a foolish mode of retorting on the factory owners. We shall not have recourse to such a mode. We call the attention of factory owners• to it in order to show them that all kinds of ed to snake the m an d means are now employ their system odious io the public. On Saturday the Times contained a long article, being an account of the life of Wm. DODD, a factory cripple, which was obviously intended to nurture and prejudice against factories and against the factory system. It is absurd, we are well aware: to meet the demands o f th e manu factutag capitalists for a free trade in corn by pointing to the cruelties which may be practised possibly in his establishment. It is no excuse for the rent owners, that the factory owners are unjust. Let them first pull the beans out of their own eye, then they may possibly see clearly to pluck the mote out of the eye of the factory owner. At the same time it is palpable that such statements will make an impression on the community; and the factory owner, if they wish their cause to prosper, must be prepared to meet and repel them. If they cannot repel them, at least they should be pre pared to show that the factory system has many compensations for those cases of individua cruelty. It sometimes cripples a youth, as what employment does not ? It nourishes many thou sands or millions. The case of DODD, quoted by the Times, might be easily paralleled in the agri cultural districts. Scores and even hundreds of persons may be found there whose limbs have been bent and crippled by exposure to the wea ther, by sleeping on the damp earth, or by rheu matism, caught by exposure to the atmosphere in all seasons, and at all hours. But the factory owners must do more than that; they must show that their system is a ne cessity; that it is full of blessings, teeming with freedom, improvements, and inventions ; and that it only requires a little subsidiary care to become as ornamental as it is useful. They have unfortunately neglected the embellishments of which it is susceptible. They must adorn their workmen's houses to relieve them from the cha racter of stables or barracks. A great deal is effected by appearances, and the dingy look of our manufacturing towns, — the rows of small unadorned houses, though they may abound in comfort, give to sentimental travellers a very unfavourable impression of our manufacturing towns, and lead them readily to believe that they are the abodes of all' that is physically and morally abominable. and pesti lential. If the factory owners wish to have fitir play, they must exert themselves to place their system in its proper light before the public. If they cannot effect that, and sentimental horror continues to afford a pretext to the hu mane and charitable, but perhaps unthinking portion of the community to support the unjust Corn-laws, they are likely to suffer under them for some time longer. This class affords a power ful support to the landlords, and to that nume rous class of labourers who see in the capi talists, as they invent and employ machi nery—without reflecting to how many per sons the new machinery gives employment—only avaricious men, who, utterly regardless of the labourers, deprive them of employment to en rich themselves. There is, on this account, no inconsiderable degree of hatred between the capi talists and the labourers of the manufacturing towns. It has been carefully nourished by poli tical demagogues, we admit, but as long as it exists, and long as the sentimentalists can discover nothing in these towns but barracks and chimnies, they are not likely to obtain from the Legislature that justice which is due to every clads and every man in the community. They constitute a comparatively new portion of our society, and are regarded with repug nance by the older portions. They have no adverse interest, but they have a differ ent appearance, which enables those who wish to plunder alio to decry them and generate an opinion that in resisting the repeal of the Corn laws they confer a favour on the labourer, and only oppose the greedy desire for riches of the factory owners. The subject is worthy, we think, of their attention and we may, perhaps, recur to it. Some persons seem inclined to regard SIR ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet as composed of Liberal in equal proportion with Orange or Starvation politicians. Those persons, however, reckon Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of RIPON, amongst the Liberals, while the fact is, that all these, being apostates and renegades, will show their Tory zeal to be more Tory than the Ultra-Tories themselves. Add to these the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL and the Cabinet appears to us as unfavourable to all the princi ples of personal and commercial liberty as could be framed. To give it a full measure of Orangeism Colonel PERCIVAL is now a Lord of the Treasury, and nothing is wanting but Lord RODEN in the Household to make it as complete an Orange Ministry as the PEEL Ministry of 1834-1835. We shall soon learn, however, as the new writs will be moved for this day, by the ad dresses to the electors of Tamworth, Lancashire, and Dorchester, what are the principles to be espoused in common by Lord STANLEY, Sir Ro- BERT PEEL and Sir E. KNATCHBULL. We look for no details, but the principles on which this mix ture of Reformers and anti-Reformers have agreed we shall expect to see. It has long been the opinion of all sensible men that nothing is to be got from any Ministry but by dragging it from them, and therefore, whatever may be Sir ROBERT PEEL'S opinions, the Reformers, to have reform, must drag it from the clutches of the Tories. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all reached us. The Journal des Debats devotes an article to the accession of the Tories to office, in which it states that Sir ROBERT PEEL is not only the leader but the master of his party—that in the Cabinet his will is as absolute as his majo rity in the House of Commons. Has the Debuts read the significant speech of the Duke of RICHMOND ? That champion of monopoly boasts in the House of Lords that the agricultu rists have fastened a halter round the neck of the Cabinet, and if it prove restive, the men who gave it an existence will strangle it. The old Tories are not the men to follow in the wake of the leader, who, of all others, most deceived them. The most interesting part of the article in the Debats is the following sketch of the late distinguished Premier:— " The favour with which the Queen honours Lord Melbourne gives offence to nobody, for it is well known that political ambition does not disturb his mind. Gifted with the most inoffensive character in Great Britain, Lord Melbounie is generally liked by both parties, and this will be still more the case when he shall be no longer Minister. He is now sixty-three years of age, and the native good nature of his mind is imprinted on his face. The Queen has a strong affection for Lord Mel bourne, and his position at Court will not give umbrage to any person. He will now have all the enjoy ments of the Court, without the responsibility of Govern ment; not, indeed, that he bore any considerable share of it, for the Cabinet of Lord Melbourne might with more propriety have been called that of Lord John Rus sell, who was its presiding genius. As to Lord Mel bourne, he had always an air of astonishment when asked a question as Prime Minister in the House of Lords, and invariably replied, I really don't know, but I will inquire.' His last speech on the Address was very characteristic. Everybody, except Lord Melbourne knew beforehand that a motion of censnre was intended in both Houses ; but Lord Melbourne rose, and in the most serious manner in the world, confessed that the mo tion had come on him like a thunder-clap." We stated some days ago that the French brig La Victorieuse had been detained by the Spa nish authorities at Mahon. The Commerce in alluding to it has the following remarks : " The insult put upon our flag has created agreat sensa tion, the consequences of which it is impossible to fore see. France must act with energy. Negotiations are useless. By fair or harsh means we must get back La Victorieuse. Spain, perhaps, will not give in, and as England has, for a long time, looked about for a pretext to take possession of the Balearic islands, she, by her in terference, will, no doubt, aggravate the question, and thus the matter may become a very serious one for France." In this way French journals write about sub jects of which they know nothing. Now, the fact is, that La Victorieuse was not detained by the Spanish authorities, nor was the shadow of an insult offered to the French flag at Mahon or elsewhere. The Toulon Sentinelle de la Marine of the 2d inst. contains the following : " By a telegraphic despatch, which will shortly be followed by another, explanatory of the same, six vessels, names as follow, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Cary, are to sail for Brest within a fortnight : " Jena (Admiral's ship), Suffrein, Jupiter, Marengo, Triton, and Scipion." A letter from Barcelona, in the Sud de Marseilts, and dated the 28th ult., says " All the French men-of-war have received orders to put out to sea, without any knowledge of their destina tion. The Commanders, are to open their despatches only when they are at sea." The reported determination of the United States Government to increase the tariff on foreign goods twenty per cent., has called forth a remonstrance on the part of the French Envoy at Washington, of which the following is the conclusion : " The Secretary of the Treasury, in his report of the 2d of June, proposed to Congress a duty of 20 per cent. ad valorem upon all the articles mentioned in the 4th section of the compromise of the 2d March, 1833. " The 26th of August, 1810, the United States concluded with Portugal a treaty, the third article of which leaves no doubt that the advantages granted to French wines by the United States, will cease in the month of February next. This state of things, so unfavourable to French trade, would be so much aggravated by the adoption of the plan pro posed by the Secretary of the Treasury, that it would become impossible for the French Government to with stand at once the complaints of its shipowners against the treaty of navigation of 1822 ; of its wine merchants against the consequences of the treaty with Portugal ; and of its manufacturers against the duties imposed upon their productions. " The French Government would, I repeat with the most sineerc regret, find itself under the absolute ne cessity of annulling the Convention of 1822, and alsa the reduction of 50 per cent. on the cotton (called bag staple), the produce of the United States, since the exe cution of the treaty of July, 1831. " Whatever may be the price which France attaches to the maintenance of a good understanding with the United States, the French Government must withdraw the concessions made in return for advantages in the Union markets ; so soon as those advantages are not only effaced by the projected changes in American legis lation, but also replaced by measures prejudicial to the interests of French productions imported to the United States." The following extracts from the French Jour nals of Sunday include all the miscellaneous news they publish of any general interest : The projected expedition of the Porte against Tunis attracts attention and inspires uneasiness. The France having asserted that Lord Palmerston had delivered to Mr.lwer. a sharp note protesting against any inter vention of the French Government in a dispute between the Sultan and. his vassal, the Bey of Tunic, and de claring that if France took any part in the affair England would espouse the Sultan's cause, the Courrier Francais remarks, that. it wa s qu i te t rue t h a t a serious ruisunder- cam * 1 4.13".' 4 6/ 01 a I , * -1 ci ; " V:47lW ' '.' 7 ,_•.

We must decline the insertion of the long letter sent from Edinburgh, addressed to Feargus O'Con nor, Esq. To insert it would probably involve us in an age of controversy. 0 LONDON: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1841. The votes of the House of Commons already contain a notice of a motion by Mr. BODKIN " for early next Session." The Herald says, that after the business of voting some unopposed grants, and passing a continuation of the Poor-law Act for a short period, that the Parliament will be then prorogued with a view to its re-opening by her MAJESTY with a speech from the Throne. These circum tacces confirm the reports to the same effect which are already in circulation. Supp- sing them true, slme of the consequences of so acting are worthy of notice. lirst,-it is plain that the speech to be made by th.! QUEEN, having Sir R. PEEL for her master, will be very different from the speech lately de li , - ered by Lords Commissioners in the name of the QUEEN when she had the Whigs for her Ministers. It will at best shadow forth a totally different line of policy in respect to the food of the people when drawn up by Sir R. PEEL, Sir E. KNATCHBULL, and the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, than when drawn up by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lard PALMERSTON, and Mr. LABOUCHERE. Such a proceeding will make it plain to the meanest capacity that royalty—with all its prerogatives, is only a puppit in the hands of contending fac tions, and that it moves differently as each pulls the wires. We make no objection whatever to that important truth being thus forced on the attention of the people, but the Tories must not hope, while they must he aware that it is the result of their own conduct, that it will add to the respect and veneration of the people for royalty. At the same time, we object to royalty being made the puppet of the Tories, and to a young and gracious Lady being made the means of giving credence and circulation to doctrines which go to starve the people, by limiting the supply of food, and taxing the little they are allowed to get for the benefit of the rent-owners. - The palpable puppetism cf royalty is instruc tive in another sense. The men in office are not the Ministers, they are the masters of the QUEEN. They have been placed over her, and forced on her, by the constituencies; and. we, being lovers of the popular principle, do not object to the con stituencies over-riding royalty. Not only have the con,:thuencies forced a master on the QUEEN. they have changed all her MAJESTY'S household, an d are to change her whole policy. But if the constituencies may do this for the QUEEN, there can be no harm in their doing it to; the ar s ocracy ; if the constituencies 'Allay do it, there is no reason why the u nreprese n t e d s h ould ',M C kind, which might s omettling of th n ot do be pleasant to thelnSaves, sa that the Tory prac tices, not ine Tory doctrines, lead directly to the !wog extreme democratic conclusions, and taey justify the assumption of power and go ve:nment by the unrepresented. It is impos sible to make a puppet of Royalty for the behoof of the aristocracy, without giving the democracy a fair claim to the same power, both over the Crown and the oligarchy. Next, the propoSed plan of prorogation will postpone the meeting of Parliament till after Christ:jag; probably till the beginning of Fe -I"4tlarY. All attempts at relief by legislation, then, are to be put off till next year. If legisla tion were not the exclusive cause of the evils under which the country is suffering, we should have no right to demand its intertbrence to give relief ; but when bad laws—when laws op posed to all reason, honesty, and justice—laws mike condemned by GOD, for his condemnation is marked by the numerous physical and moral evils those laws engender—and man, for the multitude revolt against them when bad laws cause such manifold mischief —it is a little too great a trespass on the patience of the p,ople— it is tasking their obedience too hardly, to ask them to sit quietly under these evils, without an attempt to remedy them without even an inquiry into them throtr;h the approaching dreary months of winter, till next spring. The law-makers having made the starvation law, may then shoot game, but must not be troubled to inquire into their own acts. Against such a post ponement of business, of relief, and of the abuli tion,M. lessening of a curse, we feel it to be our duty tit once to protest, and we hope whatever THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, Vzii. standing had broken out between, , the London and Paris Cabinets, but that it does not, believe threats had been used towards France. It was said, indeed, that the appearance of a Turkish fleet in the waters of Tunis would certainly be the signal of a conflict be tween the naval firces of England and France; but it was added, continues the Courrier, that England feel ing; that it was not becoming in her at this moment to assume an attitude of provocation, was endeavouring to dissuade the Porte from this expedition. "However this may be," concludes the Courrier, "if the expedition took place, the most cowardly could not retreat, and if England intends a blow at our influence on the coast of Africa, at the very gates of Algiers, M. Guizot himself could not allow our flag to be dishonour e d." _ _ The Emancipation of Toulouse of Sept. 2 says--" The Journal le Pays, published at Auch, is going to be pro secuted, on the ground of having excited to opposition of the law, for having published, at the head of its number of 31st August, an article advising the tax payers to keep their doors closed against the revenue officers, and copied, if not the expression, at least the substance, from that which the Emancipation has so often printed." It seems that the garrison of Toulouse is going to be reduced, and gradually brought back to its regular esta blishment. According to a report which gains ground in the Staffs, several corps will remove within ten days, having received orders to leave the city. M. Alphonse Cohn is appointed Commissary of Police at Toulouse, in the room of M. Lenermant. The Se . maphore of Marseilles announces the death of Silero Pellico :—" We have before us," says the journal, " an afflicting letter from his friend Count Porro, who was present at the last moments of the illustrious author of the Prisons."—Le Constitutionnel. The Courier Francais says For some days past a report has been circulated which we find it difficult to believe. lt is affirmed that the Mi n i s t r y t hi n k s o f punishing the Municipal Council of Paris for the several decisions which it has adopted respecting the mode of executing the census employed by the Government. It is added, that immediately after the Session of Council- General of the Departments, the Municipal Council of the Seine will be dissolved." —Le Commerce. on Austrian 5 per Cents. 107 ey Bank Shares — 151-5 Anglo_Russian Loan lO-% 10sli Russian 5 per Cent.

We have letters and papers from Madrid o the 30th ult. Queen CHRISTINA having it no longer in her power to appropriate to her own use and that of her minions the proceeds of the Royal domains, the Government is now employing them in adorning the Royal palaces, gardens, parks, and pleasure -grounds, and in placing everything about the person of the young QUEEN upon the most magnificent footing. The Palaces of La Granja and Aron juez which the QUEEN MOTHER had allowed to fall into a state of ruin, that she might appro priate the money set apart for their repairs, are being elegantly fitted up, and the approaches to them improved and enlarged. Trees and shrubs from the Island of Cuba, and exotics from South America, are sent for to embellish the pleasure grounds. The efforts of France to gain an entire ascen dancy in the Councils of Spain are not seconded by the whole of the Madrid press, as we gather from the following extracts from an article in the Eco del Commercio : " Everything combines to induce Spain to aim at being on friendly terms with Great Britain. She has witnessed the evils as well as the sterility arising to her from the alliance with France, whilst she cannot forget that whenever a question has arisen involving Spanish nationality, when it has become a question of territorial integrity, of independence, sr of her liber ties, the colours of Great Britain have invariably undu lated by the side of ours. Its co-operation and assist ance in ships, arms, ammunition, so.uiers, clothing, and money have ever been ready in order to contribute to the attainment of the noble object the nation had in view. The policy of Great Britain, so vast in its views, so powerful in its results, whether directed by Whigs or Tories, was invariably opposed to F renc h po li cy ; an d everything likely to lead to emancipate us from the latter will find the most energetic and sincere support in the Cabinet of St. James's. "From which we deduce-Ist, That the Salic law and family compact imported from France enslaved the nation and made it dependent ; 2dly, That, as well under the reign of the principal branch of the Bourbons in France, as in the times of the Re public, the Empire, the Restoration, or of the Orleans dynasty, the tendency of the French Cabinet has ever been to influence our policy and dispose of our re sources; 3dly, That France has occasioned us evils of vast consequence, compelling us to take part in all its quarrels, interfering in our internal affairs, and making a cruel war on us, when we were not condescending; 4thly, That our alliance with Great Britain, whilst it favours our political regeneration, interferes with the views as well as with the future fate of France—and, lastly, that the bad Spaniards are united to the intri gues o f t h e F renc h Cabinet, and appear as if charged with m i s l ea di ng pu bli c opinion as welt as with the bringing about a quarrel with our ally." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Moniteur Parisien of Monday contradicts the report of the detention of the French frigate Victorieuse by the authorities of Mahon, and adds, that the evacuation of the military hospital on the Island Del Rey by the French had taken place without any difficulties being raised on the part of the Spanish authorities, who had been full of attention to the French invalids. The Sentinelle de Toulon, referring to this re port, observes that it was an absurdity to believe that a well-armed corvette, of 24 guns, manned with a brave crew, would suffer herself to he locked up in such a place as Port Mahon, and that the Regent if Spain, who was not disposed to go to war for trifles, would order a measure without example in the annals ofcivilised nations. Count D'Appony, the Austrian Ambas:aior, was on the point of leaving Paris on a conge from his Government. The Baron de Thom would, as Minister Plenipotentiary, conduct the business of the Embassy in the absence of the Count. A Tunisian steamer arrived at Marseilles on the Ist inst. having on board the Chevalier Raffo, Prime Minister of the Bey of Tunis. Advices from Algiers, of the 30th ult., state that an expedition on the Hadjoute territory had been postponed in consequence of heavy rains which had deluged the ground, and rendered it totally impracticable. According to the Moniteur Alyerein, the ap pointment of Hadj-Mustapha Oalid Osman to the Beylick of Mossaganem had been hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by the tribes inhabiting the banks of the Cheliff; numbers of whom had submitted to his authority. On hearing that the Emperor of Morocco had ordered two small ships of war on a cruize (their destination was said to be the coast of Portugal), the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Holland had sent notice to the Chamber of Commerce at Am sterdam, recommending that although there were no reasons for suspecting the Morocco Govern ment of entertaining hostile intentions towards the Netherlands, Captains of ships bound to the East Indies or the Mediterranean should furnish themselves with Turkish passports. The Commerce publishes a letter from Athens, of the 24th ult., stating that the Hellenic Com mittee were exerting themselves to revive the Candiot insurrection, and that the Greek Jour ' nals in the pay of Russia openly preached a crusade against the Turks. The English and French Ministers had remonstrated with the Greek Government for not repressing those de monstrations, which impeded the consolidation of peace in the east. The King of Hanover bad left. Ems and passed through C o l ogne on the I st on hi s way to hi s capital. The Prussi an Government had deputed Gene ral Von H o l c h en, Inspector o f t h e F ortresses o f the Germanic Confederacy, to attend the camp of Compeigne. Several PruSsian officers were to accompany hi m . Thiers arrived at Frankfort on the Ist in stant, proceeding to Wurtzburg : The French funds rose in Paris on *Onday, in consequenc e o f an art i c l e o f a very pacific cha racter which appeared in La Presse. The Actives were done at Madrid on the 30th ult. at 26 for cash. A ROLAND FOR AN OLIVER.—A very proper lesson was administered on Tuesday last to one of the Waterford school of gentlemen who was visiting Paris. He was walking by the side of the Canal St. Martin, accompanied by a large Newfoundland dog, which he continually sent into the water to fetch out a ball ; he at last threw the ball so near a poor washerwoman, who was kneeling on the brink washing clothes, that the dogin plunging forced her off the parapet into the canal. The poor creature was in th e l ast stage o f pregnancy. A workman passing by plunged in, and immediately brought the woman out. Seeing that the Englishman greeted their landing with roars of laughter, he took him by the shoulders and immersed him twice over head in the canal, to the g reat satisfact i on o f t h e b y - standers. A brute like this does more_to render the English unpopular with the French People , than twenty violent articles in the journals. 51 MARY OF 171 EtV AND i3ittittr ,ptriton. " TVho runs may read." POREXGN. There is some talk of another serious misunderstand ing between France and England. The Porte is sending a naval expedition against; the Bey of Tunis, the Sultan's vassal. France has engaged to protect the Bey, and Eng land has bound herself to uphold the dominion of the Porte. If, therefore, the Divan persevere, a hostile col lision between the English and French fleets is regarded as certain. Thi s i s di stress i ng news , if true . W have already risked enough for Turkey, seeing the mode in which she governs Syria. The Government ought to dis suade the Porte from any attack on Tunis. Rear-Admiral Cay has received orders to sail for Brest in a fortnight, in command of the following ships of war :—The Jena, the Suffrein, the Marengo, the Triton, and the Scipion. A letter from Barcelona of the 28th ult. says—" All the French men-of-war have received orders to put out to sea without any knowledge of their destination. The commanders are to open their despatches only when they are at sea." The French Minister of Marine is partial to sealed . instructions. They. have before been, issued when a cruize for exercise in the Mediterranean was only intended. _Possibly . on this occasion the destination of the fleet may be Tunis. The Emperor of Morocco has given orders to the Ad miral of the two ships of war bearing his flag, not to molest any vessel bearing the British or llansiatic flag. Such respect for our fl ag on t h e part o f' hi s M oor i s h Majesty calls for the grateful acknowledgment of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Spare our flag while at the head of a fleet of two ships of war ? What magna nimity ! _ _ _ On the 16th ult. a Swedish Captain in the Baltic fell in with a Russian squadron consisting of nine ships of the line, carrying from 80 to 100 guns, two of which carried Admiral's flags ; three frigates, and a large brig. Nothing is said of their destination. There is no truth in the report that the Spanish authorities at Mahon detained a French brig. Chevalier Raffh, Prime Minister of the Bey of Tunis, has arrived in France. This looks as if a collision be tween the Porte and the Bey was apprehended. The Hellenic Committee is doing all in its power to support the cause of the Greek insurgents in Candia. The French and English Governments are said to re commend Greece to observe a strict neutrality. PART.I.A.IVIENTARY. Lord Brougham presented a petition last night in the House of Lords from an individual complaining of the law of ejectment, which had kept him involved in a law suit since 1820. The Noble Lord called their Lordships! attention to several other laws which still remained, though dormant, on the statute-book, which imposed penalties for trifling offences, and which any person might at any time awaken into operation. 'The Noble Lord alluded to the statutes imposing penalties for mis• takes, which, as in the case of the Earl of Scarborough, their Lordships were obliged to suspend, and to the statutes under which the Magistrates were compelled to fine persons who did not go to Church on Sundays. His Lordship did a public service by calling attention to these worn-out laws. The Foreign Consecration of Bishops Bill was read a third time, after the Archbishop of Canterbury had ex plained that the object was to regulate better the con• gregations of the English settled in foreign countries. The Administration of Justice Bill was read a third time ; Lord Campbell's amendment relative to Irish bar risters was added, and the Bill passed. The Earl of Glengall wished to get up a debate about the Irish franchise, but the Duke of Wellington checked the Noble Earl. His Grace has no longer a Government to annoy. The House sat till six o'clock. A considerable number of eleCtion petitions was pre sented in the House of Commons, as was the case the day before. Sir G. Clerk gave notice that he would this day move the adjournment of the House till the 16th, not the 20th, as was expected. Some notices were given, and some were withdrawn, but no business of importance was transacted. The House rose at Half-past Five o'Clock. The new writs, consequent upon several members having accepted office, cannot be moved for until this evening, it being required that there should be fourteen clear days after the formal opening of Parliament, and the issuing of new writs, in order to afford time for elec tion petitions to be previously presented. It is at pre ; sent understood that to-day, after the new writs have been moved for, the House will be adjourned till Monday week, to afford time for the re-elections ; that then there will be some unopposed money grants, and a continuation of the Poor-law Act for a short period, as it would otherwise wholly expire. This business having been got through, it is expected that the Parliament will be then prorogued, with a view to its re-opening by her Majesty, with a speech from the throne. The Lords will be also adjourned, and for the like period. In the Lords, on Monday, some slight laughter was caused by the Duke of Sutherland, who, on entering the House, went to the place he usually occupied on the Ministerial side, took his seat, and did not seem to find out his mistake until he saw,some of the ex-Ministers op posite to him. The Noble Duke enjoyed the joke to which his error gave rise, and made his way to the other side, along the front of the Ministerial bench, every Minister on which good-humouredly shook hands with him as he passed. Their 'Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge were present during the sit ting, and sat together for some • time. Both the Royal Dukes appeared in excellent health and spirits. PUBLIC OPINION. - -- - The Morning Post assigns the following reasons for the accession of the Tories to power :—" Highly as we esteem the Conservatives, we do not deem it necessary to ascribe their elevation to power to any supernatural means. We do think that the effect comes by cause, and that cause the old and accustomed one for the ac cession of any party to the powers and responsibilities of British Government, namely, the constitutionally-ex pressed preference of the people, to which preference it has pleased the Sovereign to give effect. The Conserva tives have not gained power by a triumph over the peo ple and the Crown, but by the choice of the people and the constitutional concurrence of the Sovereign in that choice." —lt is not true that the Tories have gained power by the choice of the people. They have gained it by the folly and supineness of the Whigs, aided by their own dexte rous electioneering tactics, and the neglect of the Liberal party to attend properly to the registrations. The people are still—what they have been for the last twelve years and upwards—Anti-Tory at heart ; and only just en dure the new Ministry from a hope that it will stultify its nature by adopting a liberal and enlightened policy We need scarcely add that this hope will be disapp o i nte d The Peel Cabinet will pursue the stand-still system of legislation, and make it its greatest boast that it does not retrograde. The Advertiser states the following as a fact, for the accuracy of which it pledges itself—" Are there still to be found persons in the country who incline to the notion that Sir Robert Peel contemplated an anti-Corn law, line of policy ? If so, we beg to inform them—and we pledge ourselves for the accuracy of the information— that the Duke of Buckingham declared a few days since, in the Carlton Club, in the presence of a number of per sons, that Sir Robert Peel before he (the D u k e o f Buck ingham) would consent to take office, had completely sa tisfied him on the subject of the Corn-laws. This is decisive." —We never supposed that Sir Robert Peel—saddled as he is with two such embarrassing burdens as the Duke of Buckingham and Sir E. Knatchbull—would make any alteration in the Corn-laws worth having. The utmost we expected from him was, that he would amend them in the same fashion that the Irishman mended his blanket—that is to say, by taking a piece off at the head, and clapping it on at the tail. But let the present rain continue but a few days longer, and, whether the Bucking ham and Knatchbuli's like it or not, Sir Robert Peel must either convert to make a sweeping alteration in the Corn-laws, or else request another " eight minutes " in terview with her Majesty, in order to tender his resig nation. The Herald is beset with uneasy apprehensions lest the people should expect an over• dose of Reform from the Tamworth quack-doctor and his apprentices. Now our Contemporary need not be at all uneasy on this point. The people take a very proper measure of Sir Robert Peel as a Reformer ; and having given him the fair trial which he has been so long clamouring for, will just reward him according to his deserts. He will be allowed ample rope-enough, and if the usual proverbial result should follow, we are by no means prepared to contend that the affliction of the country will be of a very heart-rending character. We subjoin the Hera/d'sremarks : —" If the public, from their abounding confidence in, and habitual respect and personal regard for, the chief of the Conservative party, should be apt to expect the ac complshment of more beneficial objects of foreign po licy and domestic amelioration within a given period than can possibly be realised in so limited a term, the Queen's present Ministers and their supporters are bound to re gard the very extravagance of the expectation as an in voluntary compliment to the integrity of their purposes." The following is from the Chronicle:—" The political friends of all liberal policy have been much too supine. They have grumbled, and with excellent reason, at the vexatiousness of tha registration system ; but meanwhile their opponents have turned all the capabilities and all the vices of that system to account. As_ we have more than once shown, the late elections have been turned, and the Tory and monopolist majority obtained, not by the desertion of Liberal voters, who have generally brought undiminished numbers to the poll, but by Tory additions to the registers. The landlords grow votes upon their broad fields, as thick as any other kind of crop. Besides the tricks and chicanery which no honest poli tician will imitate, Toryism is largely indebted to its legal manufacture of votes. It sees for how many safe ones every inch of property is good."— In addition to these malign influences exerted by the Tories during the late elections, we may mention their intimidation and exclusive dealing system, which they practised to a rigorous excess, and by which they ex torted the votes of many timid Reformers. They knew that the election was a question of life or death to them, and stuck at nothing to carry their point. Well, they have succeeded, and are now " Thane, Cawdor, Glammis, all ;" and it may be added with perfect truth that they " have played most foully for it !" The Times says :—" Far are we from insisting that Protestants shall be the exclusive occupants of place and trust in Ireland. Give us individuals cordially attached to the existing constitution of the empire, as admi- , nistered by a Government willing, on all fair grounds, to avoid giving the slightest offence to any portion of the population .—and, whether these in dividuals be Roman Catholics or not, by all means let them be promoted to the offices for which, if properly recommended, their character and abili ties may fit them. But Earl Fortescue, WC are bound to declare, has followed no such impartial rule. Nay, we appeal to candid Roman Catholics themselves to say, whether his Lordship's patronage — now that they can estimate the sordid designs which go verned its distribution—has not been almost exclusively conferred on turbulent political members of their own communion."—The affectation of political liberality at the commencement of the above passage comes with a peculiar ill-grace from the Times, which, but the other day, recommended the carrying matters with a high hand in Ireland. Orangeman yesterday, Liberal to-day, who shall venture to assert that the Times will not be Chartist to-morrow ? MONEY-TILIIDLI-COIYIDIERCE. Though the Leicester trade is far from being in a healthy condition, yet a considerable business is doing in goods. At Stockport the prospects of the working classes are gloomy in the extreme. At this moment 2,000 factory operatives are out of employ, and the number will in crease. Emigration to America is the last resort of many. At the Hull docks on Wednesday week, dock dues were paid on forty vessels arriving at this port, being the largest number ever known in one day. They were principally laden with grain. AGRICULTURAL. The heavy rains of Sunday night and Monday morn ing caused the Devon to rise to an alarming height, sub merging all the fields and meadows contiguous to the stream. The corn has suffered dreadfully, as also the potatoes and turnips. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Detachments of the 11th Regiment succeed the Rifle Brigade at Newport, which latter are expected to be ordered to Ireland. The second battalion of the Rifle Brigade has arrived at Bristol from Wales, and troops now on their march„will be distributed at Usk, Purt-y-pool, Cardiff, Swansea, and Montgomeryshire. COMELT-rASHIONAIBLE. The Duke of Newcastle intends to leave Hafod in South Wales about the middle at the next month for Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire. The Marquis of Londonderry has arrived in town from Wynyard Park. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne arrived in town on Monday from a visit to Woburn Abbey. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland arrived at Powis Castle on Friday last. . Lord Beresford is reported to be going on favourably. The Earl and Countess of . Chesterfield left town yes terday for Leamington, MISCELLANEOUS. The Navigation Committee, with Mr. Walker the en gineer, and 11fr. Cubitt, the builder, surveyed last week the banks of the river above Vauxhall-bridge, and laid down aline of embankment, which will be the cause of very extensive improvements to the metropolis. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the death of William.the Conquerer. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birthday of Buffon, who .was born in 1707, and of Dr. Johnson, who was born in 1709. MONEY and COMVIENCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The market for English Stocks still exhibits a want of animation. .For immediate delivery Consols realised 891 to 1, and for Account 89i to 90. Money being scarce, Exchequer Bills gave way in premium to 13s. and l ls., and East. India Bonds were also rather worse, viz., par to 2s. premium. Bank Stock was 170 for the °per.- ing ; but special transfers for money were made at 169. The New Three-and• a-Half per Cents. brought 98i to and the Three per Cents. Reduced 89k. The Foreign Market, as well as that for British Rail way Shares, was quite neglected. The Spanish Five per Cents. with the May Coupons were at 224 to 21-1, being a decline of full 4 per cent. on the highest quotation of yesterday, which, however, it must be observed, was ra ther nominal than otherwise. Venezuela Stock was at 29, and Brazilian at 66 to 67; Austrian Metalliques were worth 1091 to 110 ; and Dutch Five per Cents. of the New Loan 99* to 1. Great Western Railway , Shares were not higher than 781 and 78 ; the New 54-1 ; the Fifths 8 ; the Gosport Junction 501 to 51 ; the London and Birmingham 158 ; the Eastern Counties 8; the Blackwall New 51. 11 s. Bd. to Si. 6s. Bd. ; and the South-Eastern 161. There was nothing done in Brighton all day. Australasian Bank New Shares were 5; and Colonial Bank also 5 premium. Australian Agricultural Company's Shares were 10 prem. The Foreign Exchanges were firm this afternoon. Three months' bills were taken at the following rates : —Paris, 25f. 65c. to 70c.; Amsterdam, 12 41- to i 1 ; Ant werp, 12 31 ; Frankfort, 149 to ; Hamburgh, 13 10 to 10- 3 4 ; and Trieste, 9 52 to 54. The following are the official returns of the exports of bullion from the port of London, for the week ending Thursday last : Silver coin to Hamburgh 30,000 oz. to Rotterdam 35,000 „ „ to St. Petersburgh 24,000 „ Silver bars to ditto 28,000 „ to Hamburgh (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 6.—The mar ket to-day has been very quiet., the sales amounting to 3,000 bales. Exporters and speculators have made no purchases, and prices remain as per Friday's Circular. LIVERPOOL SIIARE MARKET, SEPT. 6.—We have to report an extremely limited business in the Share Market ; the transactions are, Grand Junction, 201 ; Liverpool and Manchester Quarter Shares, 46. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, SEPT. 6.—The Share Market has been dull ; prices generally keep firm :—Manchester and Birmingham, 21 22 per share ; London and Birmingham, 158 160 ; London and South Western, 51 52; Stockport Bank, 2i. There are no later arrivals to-day from any quarter. The Hamburgh Mail has arrived with the letters find papers of Friday's date. No political news of the least interest from there. Exchange comes the same. Gold lower. Up to the present time there has been scarcely a bar gain doing in either the English or Foreign Securities. Money in the Stock Exchange seems tighter to-day, and the Unfunded Debt is lower in consequence The feeling of the tea-trade, it was expected, would have been correctly ascertained to-day by the manner in which the public sales went otr, but as the holders will not at present make any further re duction, considering the decline that has already oc curred, quite as much has been done as circumstances will justify. Scarcely any business has been done, and a good portion has been withdrawn. We may, therefore, call the market firmer. Consols Account, 89i 90 ; Spanish, 22 ; but little doing, and no transactions in any of the other Foreign Funds. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.
