They have nothing at present to con tiol them but thef,r own discretion, and that sense of moral accountabi lity which Sir ROBERT PEEL asserts is suffleient to secure, in Peers and Monarchs, the tricot up right conduct. Since the somewhat foolish public has offered its back to a Tory rider, and suffered him to put a bit in its mouth, that public may perhaps feel some desire to learn in what manner its new and absolute master is to ride and • goad it. The only one of the Cabinet Ministers - who has as yet spoken, is Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and his speech at Dorchester will give us a tolerably clear idea of that sense of moral duty in the Ministers, which, till the public comes to a very different resolution from that which has made it fall down before the Tories, will be their only restraint. At his re-election for Dorchester, on Monday, where he found no opponent, Sir JAMES GRAHAM showed his sense of moral. duty by asserting that " he - hopes and. believes Sir ROBERT PEEL will be able to carry ,through, constitutionally and effectively, with thz consent of the three branches of the - Legislature, large and substantial measures of _Reform peaceably, and not by . agitation." But while he seeks to excite in others hopes which he can scarcely feel himself—for he knows that large and substantial measures of Reform will not be attempted—he cautiously declares that he " wlll abstain - from pledging himself or the Administration from any particular measure." His sense of moral duty consists first, then, in a wish to cheat the public, by makin , ; large and vague promises, which he known will never be kept. The Tories give large and substantial measures of Reform! Might he not as well believe and promise that misers will be generous, priests humble, and politicians truth tellers? Sir JAMES GRAHAM iS extremely wrath with Mr. BYNG, for having truly said. at the Middle sex dinner that " we had. hitherto been living under the Government of the QUEEN, the House of Lords, and the Commons. He regretted that we now lived under the thraldom of an Aristo cracy." The Right Hon. Baronet set about re futing this assertion, and under a deep sense of moral accountability, he significantly asked, "Is it to an aristocracy that Sir ROBERT PEEL ap peals ?" and the meeting at Dorchester having a similar idea of moral responsibility to the Right Hon. Baronet, responded by a " Hear." While I address you (he continued), the seats for six English counties have been vacated by the acceptance of office by their Members—Westmoreland, an agricultural county ; Monmouthshire, so rich in mineral productions and manufacturing excellence.—(Hear.) But this is not all, Kent and Nottingham, and also, by an accident, the death of a Noble Peer, the North Riding of York. Thus, within six weeks of the dissolution of Parliament six English counties have an opportunity of pronouncing an opinion on the choice of Ministers by the Crown. Surely aristocratic influence cannot coerce the opinions of thousands of the English electors who are now called on for their decision. Three Scotch counties, Bute, Sel kirk, and Aberdeen ; and three Irish, Sligo, Tyrone, and Cavan, are also in the hands of the electors. So much for the counties ; but several towns have also been called upon to choose—the county towns cf Cormiall (Launceston) and of Devonshire, and last, not least, of the county of Dorset. The electors for counties, Westmoreland for example, of which the representation is in the hands of the LOWTHERS, and Monmouth, which belongs to the BEAUFORTS, being either the pure aristocracy, or persons strictly dependent on the aristocracy, it required Sir J. GRAHAM'S peculiar sense of moral accountability to ask, triumphantly, was " that an appeal to the aris tocracy ?" In the whole of the constituencies mentioned by Sir J. GRAHAM there is no mix ture of democracy, or it is so small as to make his implied assertion a mere mockery. As if to meet his mode of perverting facts, we have previously stated in The Sun that not one of the Ministers represents a populous place, or a de mocratic constituency. Again, then, Sir JAMES GRAHAM informs us what we are to expect from the moral sense of the Tories by coolly insinuat ing a palpable untruth. - We must pass over a number of other illus trations of the nice moral perceptions of the men 'in power, on which alone, owing to the foolishness of the public, we have now to rely, to come to what Sir JAMES GRAHAM says of protective duties. He is " for such a duty as will give native industry," he says, " fair play in its competition with foreign countries." Now one would hardly suppose, without reading further, that under this form of speech he means a duty on foreign corn imported into this country, and the native industry he speaks of is the industry exclusively of the rent-collector. Our native industry which comes into competi tion with that of foreign countries, is the industry of Manchester, Sheffield, and Leeds, the pro duce of which meets Swiss cotton, Prussian knives, and Saxon woollens, in the markets of the Brazils and the United States, and must compete with them therb. Our agri cultural produce being seldom or never exported, comes not into competition with the agricultural produce of other countries, and cannot therefore need any so-called protec tion. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, however, under the very general terms " native industry," means only the industry of the rent collector, and he has such a nice sense of moral responsibility that he insists on every other native industry being taxed to facilitate that peculiar, and, for landed gentlemen, charming species of labour. He calls taxing the native industry of Manches- , ter, Leeds, and Birmingham, protecting it, rAid the Dorchester men cheered his statement. What is a protective duty on corn? A, po hibition for the Sheffield cutler and the Man chester weaver, to buy flour .t New York, and wheat at Dantzic, unless they first pay to Sir JAMES GRAHAM and his colleagues 10s., 155., or 20s. per quarter, as the case may be, more than their wheat is worth. The protective duty is an attempt, reprobated by all scientific writers, to fix a minimum price below which wheat shall not descend. If the price of wheat must he kept up, why not the price of hats, the price of labour, and the price of every other ar dcle ? Because that is impossible, and the mo ral sense of our Tory legislators, at whose mercy the people have placed themselves, is shown by keeping up the price of that article which be longs to themselves, and lowering the price of all the articles for which it exchanges. They deal with false weights, 'which is an abomina tion in the eyes of the LORD j and Sir JAMES GRAHAM calls so dealing a protective duty. In this case he shows that nice sense of moral ac countability which distinguishes the aristocracy by glozing over a palpable legislative fraud by which his own class is enriched. After this exhibition of his moral sense, the Right lion. Baronet, who, according to the custom of Dorchester, put himself into nomina tion, was declared duly elected; and so he again becomes a member of the Legislature, to act on hi s sense of moral duty. From th e Ti mes we learn that the natiori has nothin g to rely on but their sense of honour ; the sense of honour and justice which pe rva d es r the breast of that Tories;i aautd JAMES GltAllAM's speech info and justice .prompts them to insinuate falsehood, to gloze over fraud, and to commit and justify the most barefaced. oppression. rAgainstedress, forthath te thereis, we are afraid, no pres ent public has decided that it is far better to have Tory tyrants than no tyrants at all. Now that the advocates of the Bread-tax, in consequence of their patrons being in office, have fall swing for their ribaldry, they promise very soon to make Mr. COBDEN the second best, if not the very best, abased man in her MAJESTY'S dominions. The Post, for example, yesterday, spoke of him as " principal agitator of Manchester," whose "speech on Thursday was very impudent and no less ignorant." "He has all the noisy vulgar impudence of O'Cox- NEL." " He' is a mere dunce." Impudence is his sole stock in trade. " The man is a confident presuming dunce." "A bungling dunce." "A de tected dunce." " A man destitute of the corn i rnonest habits of observation." "He knows no thing." "As to matters of fact, and the connection between them, he is as ignorant as the door-postsof p. • vr% \ sat ' 4 - qui f „ • - 1, • 1 Itoo, vat' 0§14,11,4, LONDON: W i 3DNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1841. .AT'T'EMPT TO ASSASSINATE ONE OF THE SONS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. The fc 11ov:int; distressing intelligence has just been br ought by extraordinary express from Paris.' It appears that the Duke D'AumALE who haf I marched with - the 17th Light Infantry througi i France from 'Marseilles, had just arrived . in Paris, and while proceeding at the head c f his regiment, together with three of his broth , ars, to Neuilly, an assassin fired at the party , and aimed the . shot, as was supposed, at the Duke D'AUMALE. Other accounts state that the assassin aimed at the Duke Of ORLEANS, but all three 'fortunately escaped unhurt. The asl assin was instantly arrested, when the regi- Inc znt continued to march to Neuilly, • where theta Royal family at present reside. Public fefil Sing at Paris, it appears, was in a 'very ex.i sited state. " PARIS, MONDAY. '" An attempt has been made to assassinate the bt'ake d'AumALE to-day. He was at the head of hits regiment, proceeding along the faubourg St. Ai itoine to Neuilly, where a grand banquet was pri !pared by the King and Queen for him and hie , comrades in arms, when a man dressed in a blouse started from a cabaret and dis- et.. arged a pistol shot at him. It is said that the sl lot was directed at the Duke • D'AUMALE, be ca .use he - was a little in advance of his Royal bro th ers ; but the Dukes of ORLEANS, NEMOURS, an d I \ l o. - NT.l.E:sir.u. were with him, and the as sa.osin mig;ht have aimed at the Duke of OR LE ANS as the heir to the throne. Fortunately the shot did. not take effect, but the horse of a Ge neral - VAILLANT was killed, and it is said that the I 3eneral was slightly wounded in the knee. The assassin was about thirty years of age, and no dou bt a member of the secret societies that have lat' Ay been creating disturbances in Paris, but as yet no particulars have transpired concern iny g him. " After a few minutes' delay the march of the re ! ;invent was resumed, and it passed along the 33( )ulevards, the Princes still maintaining their ph ices at its head, and cheered by the people. It pr oceeded to Neuilly, and, up to the hour of w riting, no account of any other disagreeable oc cac has arrived here. " Very disagreeable events have taken. place at Clermont, in Auvergne. The people, resisting I he officers in the taking of the recensement, had I Wed on the military who supported them, kill ing and wounding seventeen soldiers. At one moment the thing looked very serious, but addi tional troops were called in, and the riot was put down. " Groups of low characters paraded the place de Chatelet and several streets of old Paris, ut tering seditious cries, on Saturday and Sunday night. Cries of 'a bas Louis Philippe, a bas Guizot, we must have blood,' were heard. No other force was employed against those people but the sergeants de ville, and by their aid alone the mob were dispersed without a riot taking place. " Public opinion is evidently very uneasy, and a serious disturbance is by man yexpected to take place this evening, but no doubt the police vill be fully prepared, and consequently no s :rious ill consequences are feared. " Count de ST. AULAIRE has been ordered to roceed to London immediately. ".The name of the assassin is PAPART.

Other Associations and other towns will take the 8 ame course. The movement must be extensive • to be beneficial. The communities which are now suffering great distress, and the individuals Who have an earnest conviction that great evil Will most likely be the conseqUenee of pro . roguing the Parliament, without taking measures • to' relieve that distress thereby evincing a contempt of the best duties of Parliatp_ialt as a political body, and of I,li humane feeling as a Christian ''assembly—will, we hope, immediately bestir themselves, and call meetings to address '/74..rt ft ,. the QUEEN, in the' same manner as Manchester and the Metropolitan Anti-Co:n-law Asso ciation. The Times yesterday stated that one result of the great superiority of the Tories in Parliament is ) that it " insig e 3 View freedom of action, and his house." He is "an impudent dunce." Such are specimens of the epithets applied. to Mr. COBDEN in one leader by that genteelest of all journals the Morning Post. What, then, may Mr. COBDEN expect from the hardened and vul garjournalists of that same party ? He has already attained a great eminence, otherwise so many missiles would not be hurled against him. He will soon, if the same progress continue, rise above Mr. O'CONNELL, and be the very best abused man in the empire. Verily he ought to be much flattered by the attention paid him by the landowners' scribes. rt does not follow that because the President of the UNITED STATES has rejected the Bank Bill, there is, ther 'fort., an end of the measure, in the sane way that there would be of a Bill vetoed by the SOVEREIGN of these realms. By the constitution of the United States the PRESI DENT can reject no Bill which has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate with out stating his objections in a message to Con gress. These objections are subject to the deli beration of the Legislature, and if, after examin ing them, two-thirds of the Members of both Houses persist in voting for the Bill, it then becomes - law, without the concurrence of the PEESID2.NT. By this regulation the veto can merely delay, for a short time, the passing of any measure deemed by the representatives of the people essential to their social or commercial interests. The French Journals of Sunday have all reached us. Much of their contents was antici pated in our afternoon Edition of yesterday. M. ROTHSCHILD has returned to Paris, and it is sup posed that the French Minister of Finance will be obliged to accept his offer of 75 per cent. for one-half of the loan of 450 millions of francs at three per cent., whiCh . the Chambers authorised him to contract.. The credit of such a country as France ought to be better than that of a pri vate individual, and it is deplorable to find-itthus fixed according to the estimate of a money lender. The following is the official account of the evacu ation of the Island Del Rey (Minorca), of which so much has appeared in the Journals. We quote it from the columns of the Moniteua : Several of the journals have published inaccurate statements of the circumstances relating to the resolution taken by the King's Government to evacuate the small island Del Rey, in the Balearic Islands. The following is the true account : " During several years the French Government occu pied that island in virtue of temporary leases which were successively renewed by the Cabinet of Madrid, and had established in it a depot of coals, for the supply of the steamers, and an hospital for the invalids of the army of Africa. The lease, concluded in 1839, was to expire on the 3d instant.. • Nevertheless, no explanation had as yet taken place on the subject between the two Govern ments, when, towards the close of July a despatch from the Consul of France in the Balearic islands informed the Minister of Foreign' Affairs, that the Governor of Minorca had received an order from Madrid to come to an understanding with the French Vice-Consul for the evacuation of the island. " The Minister for Foreign Affairs, who had reason to be surprised at receiving through this indirect me,-. dium the notification of the intentions of the Cabie, e t o f Madrid, expressed viva voce to the Charge d'Afiaires of Spain the astonishment which he felt at such a proceed ing. In reply to those observations, which M.:Hernan dez hastened to transmit to his Government, the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs of her Catholic Majesty,X. Gon zales, authorized that Charge d'Affaires to communicate to the French Government a despatch, in which he for mally disclaimed all knowledge of the r.otification made to the Vice-Consul at Mahon, and ass - Jring him that no such order had been sent from Madri'j ; that the Spanish Government had, it was true, delibe - zated upon the expe diency of renewing the lease, 'and also whether the wants of the Spanish military service in the Balearic . Islands might not require th 1 evacuation of the hospital on the Island Del Rey, at a more or less proximate period ; but that nothing had yet been decided on the subject, and that, in all cases, the Regency would afford every facility, and treat with all possible regard the invalids which France might leave in the island. In an other letter, equally communicated by M. Hernandez, M. Gonzales, reverting to the step, for which he could not account, taken by the Governor of Mahon, an ti eunced that an inquiry was.about to be instituted, in order to arrive at the source of this strange incident, and, if necessary, to punish the guilty. Shortly afterwards the same Minister verbally gave the same explanation to the Charge d'Affaires of France in Spain, and even added, that if the Government of the King still wanted the island for its present use, the Go vernment of her Catholic Majesty was . disposed to re new the lease, and thereby to testify its gratitude for the services which it had received, and still continued to re .ceive, from France. " The Government of the King had, however, already determined that the renewal of the lease should not be called for, and that the hospital be given up within a certain period. The Charge d'Affaires of France offi cially apprised the Cabinet of Madrid of this resolution." Commercial- distress i 3 very general through out France. Among the latest failures is that of M. GERVAIS, a Member of the Chamber of, be • puties. The number of his creditors (...,xceeds six hundred, and it is supposed tiLat they will not get above 25 per cent. irk liquidation of their •j demands. A quantity of arms and some political pam phlets were seized in Paris by the police in the course of last week. These affairs are conducted with none of the noise which at first distin guished them. The Government is grown wiser than when it proclaimed to the world every in stance which it could either collect or fabricate of popular disaffection. The Moniteur of Sunday contains full de tails of the unfortunate disturbance which took place at Macon, on the oth inst., and which we announced y'esterday. The following account of the affair is taken froin the Moniteui':— SeriP,as disorders, but without any political character, have broken out at Macon. For some time a certain Aaber of parties have pretended to the exclusive right of t.zoing the work of the port, and of admitting into their body only these whom they pleased. Commercial people complained of this, and of the high prices imposed on them in consequence. The coopers of Macon, called braes, encouraged by the drivers of carts and boat , men, resolved to have a share in loading and tin ' loading wine casks from the boats. An order of the Mayor, dated October, 1833, appreTad by the Minister, ordered that persons recognised to be well behaved, should be permitted by the Mayor to take part in the work of the port. A register was kept, and medals delivered to the porters entitled to work as such. Six.- teen coopers demanded medals and permission, and there was no reason for refusing them. The old porters de termined to prevent these coopers from working. On the Bth they formed groups, and uttered menaces. The authorities took precautions. On the 9th, beside the National Guard, one hundred soldiers were posted in the Hotel de Ville, and reinforced afterwards by one hundred more. The gens d'armerie was also near. The Co lonels of the National Guard and of the line attended. The parters were summoned, and the Mayor explained to them how wrong their pretensions were, and how contrary to the laws. The porters hearkened to these arguments, and at last consented to share the work of loading and un loading boats with those newly inscribed. The Mayor's adjoint and the officers repaired to the port, it being abaut eight o'clock in the morning, to see the work begun peaceably, and it was about to do so when the wives of the porters, in number about twenty, raised a clamour, and declared they would not let the coopers work. The porters joined them—vociferation and vio lence increased, especially against the guard' of the port. The Mayor ordered 60 soldiers out, and soon 100 more, and several endeavours were made to clear the port. The drums were then beaten, and the crowd summoned to dis perse. But the porters said they would die first, ere they would yield or let the coopers work. The more sum monses were made, the Mayor and officers endeavouring to persuade the crowd ; but the most violent flung them selves on the ground and refused to move. A little be fore some of them attacked the guard of the port, Tref fier, one of the assailants, being armed with a knife, and it was with cliQiculty he was rescued. A fifth summons was then made by the Mayor and adjoints, with their scarfs on, and the people were told that the soldiers would be ordered to clear the port with the bayonet. When they proceeded to do this, the porters, armed with large pieces of wood taken from the boats, attacked the sol diers of the 44th, who were in front, one Of them striking a woman who was before him on the head and killing her dead. A pistol, too, was fired from the crowd. The troops then loaded and fired. Two of the porters were shot, and the rest dispersed, and the soldiers afterwards withdrew. Some stones were flung, one of which struck Colonel Piot, of the National Guard, on the head and wounded him. Tranquillity is restored. The work of the port is resumed, and arrests have been made without resistance. The Emancipation of the 9th says:—" We learn from good authority, that a considerable number of Spanish Carlist refugees settled at Toulouse, who have the rank of Sub-Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, or Lieutenant-Colonel, or civil officers corresponding with such rank, are making preparations to avail themselves of the supplementary amnesty published by the Regent Espartero on the Ist of this month? The ladicateur de Bordeaux has the following letter from Bazas :—"When the Prefect and the Attorney- General arrived at Bazas order was restored. A barri cade had been erected on the preceding day, but was immediately demolished by the gendarmerie. On the following day some provocations were addressed to the Commander of the detachments that had come from Bordeaux ; thanks to the moderation of the troops, the events that have taken place have not had any more fa tal c onsequences." The Moniteur says that the troops will remain at Bazas till the census is completed. Some persons have been arrested.—Le Constitutionnel. According to a letter from St. Jean Pied-de-Port of the 6th instant, published in the Sentinelle des Purennes of the 9th, the inhabitants of Orbaycette, in tho Spanish territory, have just mane eneral razzia agains t the French flocks:on lands, the property in which is muc h loss disputable than that in the lands on the frontie rs of the Al odes. It is said they have extended themphth g tiering incursion• emu to the first French houses of the village of Esteria-Guibel.—Le Commerce. Madrid ionrnals of the sth inst. have reached us. The Government is about to contract two fresh loans; one of forty-five millions of reals on the salt monopoly, an d ano th er of seventeen millions of reals on th e Stamp duties. The law fbr the annexation of the Church property to the State domain is loudly condemned by several of the Journals. If it he divided, however, into small lots, end sold to a number of poor pro prietor, it will. soon become a very popular mea sure. Every occupier o f Ch urc h property will the G9vernment. rally round In doing so he will be co - dwelled to inquire into the origin of the ecclesiastical tenure.- This will do more to promote. a reform in religion than a thousand acts of, the Legislature. .4..mong the curious rumours circulated in r.,:tadrid, is One of the discovery of a plot to carry off the young QUEEN into France, of which the EX-REGENT was stated to be cognizant. We trust, for the sake of the QUEEN herself, that no such plot will ever be put in execution, lest Spain should make the discovery that she could do without her Monarch, now that she has got rid of the old institutions characteris tic of monarchy. The young QUEEN'S friends had better leave her where she is. A better guardian she cannot have than ARGUELLES ; a worse one is not to be found than the wife of Kurroz, who now makes such a noise in France. Some people do not know when themselves and their friends are - well enough. The ex-Regent is of the number if she seek to remove her august daughter from the protection of her best friends. Fifty-eight alcades, out of sixty alcades, composing the town of Saragossa, have resigned their functions on account of one of the first Judges ordering the release of two criminals, at whose hands the alcades fear assas sination. • As the Madrid Government in its late decrees, issued by virtue of a Bill passed the Cortes, had imposed taxes, and ordered the Basque Provinces to supply their quota of men for the army, which decrees are in - direct contra diction to the fiteros, a serious misunderstanding, if not a collision, is anticipated between the Central Executive and the Local Juntas. . .!% SUMMARY OF AND Vut)lir Opinion, " Who runs may read." I'ON.EIG-N. The President of 'ihe United States has rejected the Bank Bill passed, by the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is stretching the prerogative of the Supreme Power in the State to an extent which would be clan-aerous in England. No British Sovereign would Ine':a the odium of vetoing so popular a measure. An attempt was made on Monday, by a man named Papart, to assassinate one of the sons of the King of • the French. Thank God the Princes escaped. Serious disturbances have taken place at Clermont, in Auverge, in opposition to the taking of the Census. The people fired upon the soldiers, 17 of whom they killed or wounded. . Cries of " Down with Louis Philippe—down with Guizot !" were heard in several districts of Paris on Siinday night. Another revolutionary attempt was dreaded. PUBLIC -OPXNXON. The Times, aware of the mischief which Tory writers and a Tory Lord Chancellor have done to their cause in Ireland, is now on a new tack. The following specimen from ,this versatile journal shows which way the wind blows :—" Apart from the misrepresentations of two servile London prints, which, we know, can produce sufficient tubs for their still continuing to be the vehicles of Whig calumny, the conviction that Sir Robert Peel will govern Ireland in such a spirit of impartial and _ . evenhanded justice as bids fair to paralyze paity rancour without disparaging the just rights of any portion of the community, is very universally entertained even in circles not gtherivise favourable to a ConservatiVe Ministry. The vile figment that Sir Robert's Irish Administration will adopt a system of unprincipled sycophancy towards the Orangemen, and plane the Roman Catholic millions under a rampant military despotism, is as thoroughly scouted in every intelligent quarter, as the opposite fiction that the Right Hon. Baronet will seek to propitiate the Romanists by unworthy conciliations, and will treat the Protestants with supercilious neglect. Stuff like this is believed by nobody. Even the most heated partisans on both sides are ashamed to identify them selves with such a suspicion in either of its extremes. O'Connell himself can hardly muster face for it ; and we arc quite sure that the most devoted followers of Sir Harcourt Lees, who in his day was certainly no very moderate symbol of Protestantism, do really reject it with as much contempt as they now feel for the stupid and senseless commemorations of the Boyne engagement. •or the nursery bugbear of the Gunpowder Plot. Nay, the idea that the new 11.1inistry—(known as they are to be isreconcileably hostile to repeal, and determined to maintain the Irish Protestant church as firmly and inoffensively as possible) —Will exercise any other favouritism than that strictly fair and consti tutional sort which, wholly irrespective of religious opi nim, they are solemnly sworn to extend to the friends of British connexion in preference to its foes, is beginning to be derided by the Roman Catholic priesthood them selves. The symptoms of this are highly encouraging. According to the best authenticated accounts, O'Connell's present efforts to spread the flames of repeal for the visionary purpose of consuming the Conservative Go vernment are, for the most part, an egregious failure. His combustions projectiles, though scattered far and near, seem to light among the people like balls of damp wadding. The Romish clergy have, in many places, shown them selves to be very cool Repealers after all. Long-cherished prejudices, how unreasonable soever, cannot be got rid of in a few days. For our part, we believe those prejudices to exist in a much less degree than is commonly repre sented; yet admitting that we under calculate their strength, we feel confident that when the Irish people of all creeds find themselves ruled by an honest Govern ment, determined that Ephraim shall have no just occa sion to envy Judah, nor Judah to vex Ephraim,—a de termination, the reality and advantage of which they will soon appreciate,—the party animosities which have so long distracted and impoverished them, will, at no very distant period, be superseded by a better state of things. The Chronicle, on the supposition that Parliament may be prorogued without a full consideration of the Corn and provision laws, makes the following remarks :—For this specific object was the present Parliament called. It has chosen to indulge in a party diversion. The con dition of the people and the recommendation of the So vereign have been postponed to the settlement of those claims upon place and power which are the great objects of factious combination. But the partizanship which seizes the first opportunity for itself, need not deny any opportunity to the people. It has done its own work. The prize is in its pocket. The physician has his fee. Is it honest, now, to withhold the prescrip tion ? However selfish, low-minded, and anti-patrio tic, the previous conditior.s might be, they have all been complied with. Office was desired, and office has been bestowed. The Whigs, it was urged; must be ousted before anything can be done, and the Whigs are ousted. What more would they have ? A. five months' holiday before one night's attention is bestowed upon the multitudes whose means of daily subsistence are in peril. We really think that is rather too much. But they can take it, and probably they will take it, if there bo no in terposition. We are under an authority that cares as little for reason or decency as it cares for the people. The landlord's majority, with its pliant leader in the Commons, its Buckingham and Knatchbull in the Ca binet, and its Richmond over the Cabinet, has made its demonstration, achieved its position, exalted the prero gative of King Rent over that of Queen Victoria, and is now disposed to take to the fields and preserves for recreation. The exhibition will be more gross ' and disgusting than any similar procedure by which a nation has ever been insulted, but it is not the less likely. It may be expected, unless timely means of counteraction be adopted. , The Royal prerogative can hold Parliament together, and may dcs so with the greatest propriety for the purpose stated in the Man chester memorial. The interference is only a negative one. Parliament cannot prorogue itself. It only rises by the fiat of the Sovereign. And what better reasons can there be for withholding that than the distresses and apprehensions of millions, coupled with the fact that no attention whatever has yet been paid to the measures for considering which this Parliament was convoked by the Sovereign ? Let the people, then, become her Majesty's advisers. Manchester the eag ueis now fairly The Morning Herald , de scantin g on the same subject, thus embarked in a most fact ious career of opposition to Sir ul c a o ti n o te n m :_ ptr T u h sl e y tr Robert Peel's Administration ; but happily its virulence and extreme hostility will neutralise its mischievous ob ject, and disgust all but those whose support could only injure any cause to which they might attach themselves. The latest device of this opposition is a requisition to the Mayor of Manchester, requesting that authority " to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough, for the purpose of considering the present distressed state of the population. The Mayor has accordingly appointed Thursday for an assemblage of the idle, the discontented, the violent; and the un employed portion of the population over which he presides, and on that day doubtless the usual twaddle of the League will he emitted, and accompanied by big words, loud and u nmean in threats, much gesti culation, and " shouts of a pp lause. " But will the wealth, the respectability, the moderation, and the education of the great cotton metropolis be there assembled ? We venture to predict they will not.; they will be pursuing their ordinary avocations in their warehouses, their counting* houses, and their shops ; whatever may be their opinions on fre. , trade or the Cora-laws, they will have too much respect for themselves to march through Coventry with the League. They too highly appreciate the value of peace and quietness to aid in again convert- t - • ing Manchester into an arena for the gladiatcrlal exhi bitiona of tnischierciti4 agitators. The Post takes the.satho erronPons view of the object of the nicotine-, but at the same timd, does it with some more regard to propriety and common setISC. "It ap lit'afs,"-sti.Y3 that Journal; " that a small proportion of th• - .. inhabitant* of Manchester, Cuitticiy heitten five and six hundred, have sent a requisition to the llf.n.lor of the town for the holding of a political meeting the day' Nfter to-morrow. The object of this meeting is stated to be to takes into consideration the distressed state of the town Red neighbourhood, and the expediency of p etitionin g the Queen that the Parliament may not be prorogued until a full discussion has . been had of the Corn and Provision-laws'---laws which; PA the opinion of the re quisitionists, are the main cause of the p 7evailing distress.. IVe have no doubt that the Government wit_ll give s.tover its anxious and sympathizine• a tt e ntion to authentic representations inay'be made of the distress 0f the people hi Manchester of elsetVlittre; the Gover2 - meut will probably be very well disposed to (Id that can be done in co:-operation With such really benevolent individuals as t itw be citspdtti id dd practical for the relief of /he, existidg distress. tit *4 do hot think ths opinion of the requisitionists as to the cause t 4 the distress is likely to make such impression upon the Government, or upon any oite of good §ttiO discretion. This declaration of opinion is a mere pttftt matter, having about as much to do with sound judgment, founded upon a careful consideration of well-ascertained facts, as the declaration of Mr. Cobden has to do with molestv, correctness, and propriety. The 3./Toeni:tg Advertiser alludes to the painful state of the labouring classes at Stockport, and the expected turn out of factory hands on the part of two or three large manufacturing establishments, in consequence or the anticipated reduction of prices—a reduction to ac tually one-half of their present miserable pittance of nine or ten shillings a week. The source of this evil exists, says the Advertiser, in the present redundancy of population. Strength, vigour, and Skill, are by this cause rendered valueless. , The evil, too, will spreall, and not stop. Rapid extension of machinery will create a greater superabundance still, and 'this, therefore, is the malady which State-doctors must first of all reach, and expel, if the public constitution is to hope for anything like restoration to health. 2120NET-TRA.DE-0011T.1VIER , CE.

LAW AND POLICE, George Heath, not long since a master bricklayer, employing many hands, was on Monday brought up at Worship-street, charged with stealing twenty-one plates, engraved with religious music. The prisoner appeared before the Court last Thursday, but was then liberated, the plates not being traced to him, and his respectability being in his favour. On Saturday, however, a marine store dealer to whom he had sold the plates, received a letter from him, begging him to destroy them, as.he had taken them, urged by deep distress ; the letter was now delivered to the Magistrate. The prisoner was coin• mitted to Newgate for trial. James Mattall, a boy 12 years of age, and of de plorable appearance, appeared on a charge of begging. His mother stated in his defence, that she, her blind husband, and four children, lately arrived from Glas gow, were penniless and starving, and the boy went out to procure the slightest help. One child of the four had died but yesterday, and, according to her statement, the police found the poor blind man sitting over the dead body. The Magistrate gave her some silver, and desired her to call again in a few days. MITERAItY AND SC;ENTXI7I.,C. M.

DONCASTER RACES. MONDAY EVENING. A variety of circumstances have arisen during the last three or four months to diminish the ordinary attrac tions of the race-course. As the most powerful we may select the general elections and the depressed state of trade in all parts of the country. These causes materially affect Doncaster, as well as places of less note, but others of a local and peculiar character may be mentioned. Many of the ancient supporters of Don caster have settled their accounts, and some, whose names were wont to appear as its zealous patrons, have with drawn altogether from the turf. This is not all—the ex traordinary ease with which the Derby was won des troyed the St. Leger as a betting race, and had not that been the case the minions character of the settling would have produced the same effect. Another blow to the present meeting was the omission of the stewards of 1340 to appoint their sue• cessors ; the Corporation, it is true, made a large addition to the public money, as originally advertised ; and were assisted with a liberal plate by the innkeepers, but too' late to counteract the combined influence of so many " untoward events." Prepared, therefore, for a falling off in their present meeting, they have resolved to pre vent any cause of complaint for the future. It is in tended, we believe, to lose no time in procuring Stewards for 1842 (relieving them from the pecuniary responsibi lities hitherto coupled with the office), to make such al terations at the stand as may be considered essential to the comfort of the visitor, and to provide liberally for the public prizes ; if they do this in time we see no reason why Doncaster, reduced to four days, should not recover from what, we trust, is only a temporary depres sion. It will be collected from the above remarks that the races commenced this afternoon under indifferent auspices. The weather was certainly all that could be desired, but the list " held the word of promise to the ear, but broke it to the hope," six races in appearance having dwindled down to three in reality, and those of a very unpretend ing character. The company was thin, the betting dull in the extreme. We should mention here, that a space has been inclosed in front of the Grand Stand, for the accommodation of the speculators, but being level with the course, is not available for a view of the running ; we understand that, by next year, it will i❑ this respect be placed on a par with Epsom, Ascot, Goodwood, and Liverpool. Amongst the occupants were the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, the Marquis of Westminster, Mar quis of Waterford, Marquis of Normanby, Marquis of Lichfield, Earl Spencer, Earl of Chesterfield, Lord Kelburne, Lord Maidstone, Lord John Fitzroy, Lord George Bentinck, Lord C.

AN ADDRESS TO THE CLERGY OF THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH OE ENG LAND ON THE EFFECTS (ii" A scAli,erry OF row), &c. By A PIIVSICIAN. 1 4 iris Is a well-timed pamphlet, in which the Author traces the epidemics of 1740. 1741, 1816, to the deficiency of rued, and produces m any medical authorities to prove the terrible effects on the health of the poor by being stinted in their diet. \ l y r e quote the concluding paragel.phs of the work:— It is a common observation that one-half of mankind know not how the other half lives. What a sad. condi mation of this saying do these pages contain ! It is difficult for those who have never telt privations (3f.' the most essential necessaries of life, to abstract them.eelves from their own condition, and thoroughly appreciate :he state of those who want. It is too true that we are. thankless for blessings in proportion to their common ness. The common air we breathe, the universal are seldom viewed as beneficent gifts from God ; yet, by what a precarious tenure do we hold them both. The dispsition is universal to enjoy the advantages and'. com forts t , f our situation in life, without distresshw our selves Reich about those whose hard lot has de 3rived th em o f ;hi ngs which are common to us. The teivial ties of foots and clothing arc received with little con cern for the poor who starve with cold, and are famishing with hunger; and it requires calamities like these I have been desceibinre to rouse us to a bet ter feeling. Yet . the usual , and constant condition of the: poor callseloudly for our active sympathy. . It is team there are signs of late years that a better state of mind has arisen among us, and that the poor are becoming more and more a subject of study for the rich, I hail. this feeling and rejoice at it. Nothing so likely to give. us dignity as a ration, and happiness as a society.

ABERGAVENNY.-SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-- In the course of the present summer two or three light pleasure boats have been placed on the river Usk, and on Satiirday evening last a party of five young men and boys got into one of them moored above the . Aber gavenny bridge, the river being very high at the time. Scarcely had they taken their seats, not having time, we believe, even to pick up the oars, before they were drawn into the middle of the stream, and the boat coining in contact with the bridge, it was completely split from stem to stern, the whole of the persons being thrown into the river. Their names were J James Edwards, a grown up young man, and George Edwards. his brother, David Barton, James Barris, and James Freeman ; the first, third, and last named managed to get out,. with the aid of some of the . spectators, but George Edwards,promising a youth of fourte en years of age (a son of Mr. Edwards, of the Gasouietor), was but once seen in a deep pool below the bridge. His body has not since been found. The river was dragged that night and during the neat day, wheat the body of James Harris was found on a bed of sand nearly a quarter of a mile from the spot. The search has since continued daily for the body of George Edwards, but without suecess.—Hereford Times. STATE OF TRADE AN D CommEncE.---There were no additional failures of any consequence in Ll'ver pool during the last week, and the demand for cot ton, sugar, and some other articles, was pretty good, but the accounts from the manufacturing districts of Lancatiiire continue unfavourable. The splendid weather of the last four days, which xvill enable the farmers in Scotland Lud the north of England to secure a large portion of thl'ir grain in very. good order, is more in favour of the country than anything else, but we fear that it comes too late to give us a full crop, though in time to avert an kt-- mense amount of additional suffering from the counNry . —Liverpool 7 imes. Da. DILLON.—Our readers may remember our review of the famous Lord Mayor's voyage up the. river, by this gentleman, whose name has since made a great noise in literary and ecclesiastical circles. On Wednesday he attended in the Consistory Court to answer the allegations of Mrs. Dillon, in the suit insti tuted by him. flis answer, given upon oath, was a most direct denial of all that had been imputed to him in re gard to suborning a witness , and having overlooked gu t alleged misconduct of his lady. We hear that the cir cumstances which led to the discovery are very remark able ; and some surprise has been expressed at the omis sion of all mention of the Rev. Gentleman's answer in. the Journals which gave circulation to the charge pre- ferred against him.2- I Literary Gazette. BANK OF IssuE.—The second Report of the. Committee on Banks of Issue has been published h3r order of the House of Commons, which states in sub stance that it is impossible for them to give that considee ration to the many points suggested in the evidence al ready before them which would enable them to report: any well-grounded opinion to the House. They are aware that this may cause disappointment, but on questions of so much importance they prefer caution. to satisfying the demand for a Report. They refer to the House to decide on the propriety of prosecuting the: inquiry in the subsequent Session.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR (OF HONOUR.—Our recent letterfrom Malta mention an affair of honour which had just taken place in that island, and which ap pears to have excited a great sensation in Valette. The brother of a Noble Duke (Lord Sussex Lennox) arrived in the Great Liverpool, under an assumed name, at. Malta, and having immediately waited on Major S. H. (Major S. J. Hodgson), one of the 19th Regiment, and all preliminaries having been arranged, proceeded to fight a duel with another military gentleman holding a situation in the staff of that garrison (Capt. Norcote, of the Rifle Brigade, Military Secretary). Lord Sussex Lennox fired without effect, and his adversary having discharged his pistol in the air, his Lordship was with difficulty in duced to listen to an accommodation, the terms of which are said to be of a somewhat singular description. This done, Lord Sussex Lennox left the next day for England. During the time*the parties were on the ground they did exchange a syllable. The circumstances in which the dispute originated, together with the correspondence w ill, it is further affirmed, in all probability, be pub lished. The affair was the topic of conversation at Malta when the mail came away.— United Service Gazette 5 MORN IN G SUN THE sUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, th4l. MORNING SUN
