AIORN TN G- SUN SPITIiT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. )NICLE.—Sir Robert had an opportunity on sy of verifying the justice of the commendations bestowed by the Duke of Wellington on Lord Mel bourne. for the success which had attended his lessons to her : , .I..jesty on her duties as a constitutional Queen. It appears that the interview between the Premier and her Majesty lasted exactly eight minutes, during which brief interval she was able to transact the important business which required the presence of the Right Hon. Baronet at the Palace. Not being prepared for this promptitude, Sir Robert had a considerable time on his hands before the arrangements he had made would allow him to leave Windsor, which he devoted to a minute survey of the state apartments. There are duties " committed to the care of the wearer of the British Crown"* (for Toryism knows how to suit its language to the times) which re quire occasional intercourse between the Premier and her Majesty. But Sir Robert owes a very different allegiance to King Rent. No man knows better than the Right Hon. Baronet the extent of the power of that doughty sovereign, and the changes which he has wrought in the Constitu tion, through the instrumentality of the Chandos clause, aided by corruption. We were somewhat amused by the following naive proof in the Times of the subjection of the landed interest to Sir Robert Peel :—" The accept itnce of office by noblemen, in whom the agricultural in terest places unbounded confidence, is a complete an swer to the insinuation of which we have lately heard so much—that the champions of that interest are unwilling to assist in such a modification of the present Corn-laws as Sir R. Peel has intimated his intention to propose, for the purpose of remedying the abuses and evils connected with the present scale of duties. We never gave them credit for being so unreasonable ; and we now see in their accession to the Government a most satis factory security for the accomplishment of those neces sary changes, without the slightest disturbance of the union existing between all branches of the Conservative party." The question is whether, by their acceptance of office, the agriculturists have got Sir Robert or Sir Robert has got them. They have taken office nominally under the Right Honourable Baronet ; but it does not follow that he is to give the law to them ; and the pre sumption rather is, that, as the Duke of Richmond told • him, they would turn him out as they brought him in, if he does not do their bidding. Sir Robert Peel is in, and he wiil obtain a fair trial. If the landed interest be come mollified by their triumph over Queen and people, and it their generosity suffer Sir Robert to ob te.in credit for a little liberality by touching the sliding scale, the people will be agreeably surprised. For he who runs may read that the constitution of this country is not now what it was. When the Tories were frantic on account of 'he ltefsrm Bill, and the Liberals were to much elated with it, Lord Melbourne alone had the sagacity to foresee that it would turn out something very different from what both had anticipated. In the debate on the second reading of the Bill, he hinted at some such working of the Bill as we have just seen. It is now manifest that the Reform Bill, through the Chandos clause, has placed both Sovereign (or the wearer of the Crown, as the Tories phrase it) and people in the power of the landed aristocracy. A complete re volution has been effected. In all questions between the landed interest and the rest of the community, Sovereign and people go for nothing. That matters will remain where they are, we do not believe. The love of monarchy, as well' as of constitutional liberty, is too deeply engraven in the hearts of Englishmen to allow them to suffer their Queen to be for ever enthralled by the landed aristocracy, and to suffer the latter to sacrifice the prosperity of the country to the most sordid, how ever mistaken, interests. ROM THE DAILY PAYERS OF YESTERDAY. CHI " " If, as we fully expect, the Government, thus consti tuted, remains true to its principles, if it is conducted, as we are confident it will be, with patriotism, moderation and jus tice, and wish a constant and practically influential regard for the religious as well as the temporal interests committed to the care of the wearer of the British Crown."—Times of yes terday. GLOBE.—The discrepancies and disagreements be tween the different Members of the New Cabinet on great questions of national policy, as manifested on recent occasions in their Parliamentary speeches, will afford striking illustrations of the unity which is likely to prevail among them when consulting the course they shall pursue in conducting the Government. While the country will see in the anoma lous and incongruous elemtints brought together as a Ministry an encouragement to hope that the period allotted to its rule will necessarily be short. The at tempt to impose additional taxation at a time when the resources of the country are exhausted by the pressure of distress, produced by the insane and selfish policy, which the class-interests insist shall be perpetuated for their exclusive benefit, will provoke a pressure from without too strong for effectual resistance from within. A Cabinet constructed of materials which cannot amalgamate must give way under such circumstances. Sir James Graham, as head of the Home Department, leas especially committed to his custody the preservation of domestic tranquillity. We urge upon the renegade Baronet the necessity of providing fur an exigency which is assuredly approaching, and which he himself has pre dicted ~as certainly resulting from the system he once forcibly denounced, but is now pledged to uphold : " The feeling of the public mind must be hostile to • the present Corn-law--the receivers of rent are a very small body—backed by public opinion, they are almost omnipotent—in Violation of public opinion, they cannot long retain an exclusive advantage. The contest is fear ful': for on what ground will it be decided ?. On the very topic which inflames to madness. Hunger, which breaks through walls, will be arrayed against them— reason will be heard no onger—the barriers of society will be broken down ; and estates, distinctions, honours, SW PIA swm . y in ono resistless torrent." We do not anticipate so awful a catastrophe as that which Sir James Graham here predicts in his book. from which we quote. We believe that though the mo nopolists will resist long, and obstinately, they will yield at last. But we do fear that the rapidly accumu lating distress in the -manufacturing districts, occa sioned by scarcity of employment and the high prices of food, will provoke the suffering population to out rages, and jeopardise the . public tranquillity. Th e Right Hon. .Secretary of State for the Home De partment, seeing, as he does, the natural tendency of the present Corn-laws to produce the consequences he has described, will, we hope, while he provides the necessary protection to the public security, sympathise with, and show clemency to, the miserable masses, whom " a blind and selfish policy, rapaciously grasping at undue gain," we use his own words, consigns to the verge of starva tion, should they be stimulated to acts which must be equally deplored and condemned. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (PROM THE MORNING TAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) AISV ERT ISER.—The West India mails have arrived. We come first to our own colonies, whence we have advices as follows :—Jamaica, July 29 ; Demerara, July 20 ; Barbadoes, July 20 ; and St. Thomas's, Aug. 4. In the first-mentioned colony very plentiful and re freshing rains had fallen, and this was also the case in Barbadoes, where the fields, which before presented an arid and sterile appearance, had gradually become in vested with a luxuriant and grateful clothing of verdure and richness. The canes were improving, and the cul tivation of corn and other provisions was become general. This, it was hoped in Barbadoes, would bring down the price of food to its former level, and thus prove a material blessing to the poorer classes. General Darling had as sumed the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Barbadoes, and had addressed the Assembly in a speech that had given satisfaction to all parties. Sir C. F. Smith, it was reported, would be the Go vernor-General of the Windward Islands ; and Sir G. Arthur was spoken of as the successor of Sir W. Col brooke. In Jamaica great efforts were making to extend culti vation and increase the produce of the crops, with the view of affording a better supply in future to the mother country. The prospects of the Mount Vernon copper mine seem to be very satisfactory. At St. Thomas's tlour was seven dollars per barrel ; American bills were three per cent. ditcount ; and bank drafts on London, 485 to 490 dollars per 1001. Each (lay seems to bring with it more favourable intel ligence from Madrid, as we h ear now o f t h e intention of Espartero's Government to pay the interest on the:ln demnity Bonds. We only hope our countrymen may be doomed to no more cruel disappointments, where such a fair prospect is ()penilg before them. CHRONICLE.—The accounts from Manchester this morn ing. do not improve as regards money matters, fur ther failures of some importance having taken place. Money was in considerable demand to-day on the Stock Exchange. The Hebrew party were said to have been takers to a considerable amount, preparatory to the ex pected a ppearance of the French loan, but th e p r i ces from Paris do not show much immediate apprehension of that sort, an advance of ten cents. having taken place both in the Three and Five per Cents. for the Account. The general average for die last six weeks shows wheat at 71s. 4d., and thus foreign wheat may now be entered for home consumption, at a duty of 6s. Bd. There is now every prospect that the speculators will carry out their plans, and bring down the dut y with certainty to 2s. Bd., and very probably to Is. when the stock in bond, equal to 1,000,000 of quarters, will be thrown upon the home market. Our readers would be fully prepared for this result ; we have at least taken some pains to make them so, and that after the bonded corn is disposed of the new wheats will be dealt in largely, which are not only generally defective in quality, but, when threshed, deli ticient in the yield per acre, and below an average pro duce. So much for the sliding scale. POST.—Her Majesty's ship Hornet has arrived from Carthagena. That town was blockaded by the troops of Ge neral Carmona, a chief of die insurgent party, but it would be able to hold Out, it appeared, until relief could be obtained from Bogota. The Hornet brivas 48,000 dollars in specie. Sydney papers to April Nth have come to hand, but they have little information of general interest. The fol lowing extract from the South Australian Register, re lating to the mineral treasures of the Colony, seems to contain the only matter of importance : " In addition to the well-proved agricult ura l an d pas toral capabilities o f th e p rov i nce , i t has long been known to scientific observers that the mountain ranges con tained mineral prod uc ti ons o f great value. Mr.Menge's geological collection a t p resent ex hibits numerous speci mens of gold, silver, copper, lead, and iron ores, found in the more northernly districts, and no doubt exists that the hills immediately behind Adelaide are rich in mineral wealth. A few weeks ago, indeed, this fact was placed beyond doubt, by the acci dental discovery of a splendid mineral in the im mediate neighbourhood of the town, combinin g i n proportions not yet exactly ascertained—lead, silver, and antimony. The ore is in the greatest profusion, and of unequalled richness. In the true South Austra lian spirit of enterprise, a company has been formed to work the mine, and arrangements have been already made to ship a considerable quantity of the ore in the Cygnet, Captain Valton, now loading for London. Since the above was in type, and at a late hour last night, we re- caive,d from--a correspondent, on whose respectability we can rely, the; following note :—‘ I have just seen a sample of coal, discovered a few days since. It appears to be of the best description. All I could further learn at the moment was, that it was found within twenty miles of Adelaide, near navigable waters, and that thousands of tons can be raised at comparatively small expense.' " It is hardly necessary to add that statements of this nature should be read with a due allowance for the exag gerations often indulged in by the authors'of them. TIMES.—The feeling in the Foreign Market to specu late in Spanish Stock continues, and the ground upon which the speculators are said to base their operations is that Spanish capitalists have been buyers of the Stock in the house to pay off their arrears due to their Govern ment on the purchases of national property. This is certainly a cause to influence prices, but it remains to be seen whether it does not originate with a view to make a profit rather than the actual intention of taking the Stock out of the Market for the purpose stated. Ma noeuvres of this kind have been before practised, and the public especially ought to be on their guard. The accounts from Liverpool to-day are again of an unfavourable nature. The well-known houses of Moly neux, Witherby, and Co. have come to the resolution of suspending their payments. This firm imported cotton to a great extent, indeed to such an extent that some report they are the largest importers in the country. In the best-informed quarters, their stoppage has occasion ed little or no surprise, as it had been considered for some time past that they were carrying on business be yond their means, and their bills in London have by no means been thought of unquestionable credit. * Private letters recived from Amsterdam, dated the 31st of August, state that the Second Chamber of the States-General had finished its previous examination of M. Rochussen's plan for converting the Passive debt. No less than 45 members took part in the discussion, and the great principle of the plan—viz., that the Govern ment is entitled to pass over the law of February, 1818, and return to the law of May, 1814—has been admitted by a great majority, the law of 1818 being regarded merely as a temporary power granted to the stockholde.is by Government, with full liberty to revoke it at plea sure, and the present financial condition of the country being considered such as to justify the exercise of that liberty. The other principles, viz., that the Govern ment has a right to anticipate the conversion, which, according to the law of 1814, is annual, but which is now proposed to take place at once ; that the Govern ment can equitably give the holders for their Deferred Stock Active Stock at the rate of 52 (the market price), when they are entitled to a conversion at par ; and that the discount may be fixed at the rate of 4 4-5 per cent., which is far above the rate in the country—have been likewise agreed on. To the details of the measure, how ever, some objections have been raised, and it is expected that the Minister will have some alterations to make be , fore he cati procure its adoption. The Budget has been less favourably treated, and it is expected that, unless some of the Ministers contrive to reduce their expenses, the chapters concerning them will be struck out, if in deed those Ministers are not themselves obliged to resign. Papers from Bogota, which have been received to the 2d of June, are chiefly filled with documents giving a detailed account of a complete victory of the Government forces over the rebels commanded by Vesga at Salamina. A great number of the enemy were killed and wounded, and among the prisoners was the leader Vesga, while by • the Government forces scarcely any loss was sustained. Among the persons on the Government side of whom honourable mention is made, a heroine, named Maria Martinez, is specially noticed, as having at r tended the army through its perils and fatigues, and • appeared armed with a spear in the field of battle. The victory seems to be considered the most decisive that has . yet been gained over the rebels. Telegraphic despatches r showed that order had been completely restored in the • provinces of Cauca and Buenaventura. - The Sydney papers of the 25th of April state that business in all branches was dull. There were no local topics of interest afloat. Wheat was 7s. per bushel, and flour ranged from 19s to 26. per mob. Poultry was scarce and dear, as were also provisions. THE NEW TORY MINISTRY. HER MAJESTY'S PRIVY COUNCIL. DEPARTURE OF SIR R. PEEL AND HIS COLLEAGUES FOR CLAREMONT.—A numerous meeting. of the Members of the newly-formed Tory Administr a t ion of Sir Robert Peel's concoction, as well as of Conservative Members of both Houses of Parliament, took place yesterday morning at the house of the Right lion. Baronet, in Whitehall gardens, previously to the departure of the new Premier to attend the Privy Council held by her Majesty in the afternoon at Claremont. Many of the Lords and gentlemen who had attended the meeting quitted Sir Robert Peers about eleven o'clock, shortly after which hour the Earl of Aberdeen drove up to the house of the Right Hon. Baronet in his close carriage and four post-horses, and after remaining in deliberation with the new Premier for about a quarter of an hour, the Noble Earl and the Right Hon. Baronet took their departure together in the carriage of the former. There was during the early part of the morning, in the immediate vicinity of Whitehall-gardens, quite a " sensation." The usually quiet locality wa s a ll bustle— Dukes, Lords, and Commoners were each instant com ing and going, and a number of people assembled in front of Sir Robert's house to take a peep at the distin guished personages who flocked to worship the ".rising sun " of the in-coming party. On the departure of the two Ministers from White hall-gardens, Sir Robert Peel was slightly cheered by a small knot of Conservatives, who followed his carriage out into Whitehall. The Right Hon. Baronet, who looked unusually thoughtful, acknowledged the cheer by a slight bow as the carriage dashed out of the sight of his admirers. The Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Buckingham, Lord Stanley, Lord Ripon, Lord Liverpool, Earl de Grey, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Eliot, Mr. Goulburn, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir James Graham, Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the Earl of Haddington, and Lord Wharncliffe, who had all been summoned to attend the Council, severally left town for Claremont at different periods of the morning. Sir James Graham has appointed his brother to be his Private Secretary. We believe we may state with certainty that the " new writs" will be moved in the House of Commons on Monday next, and that both Houses, at their rising on that evening, will adjourn until Monday fortnight (the 20th inst.). EARL FITZHARDINGE AND THE lIERALD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. (Copy.) Berkeley Castle, August 31, 1841. Sir—My attention has been drawn to an article in your Paper of the 27th instant, in which some one of the Peers whose titles or elevations in the Peerage were announced in a late Gazette, is charged with a crime of the greatest enormity. If you believe that one of the Noblemen referred to did commit the atro city described, you must feel that he has no claim to your forbearance, and that the fullest exposure would be a due, though not an adequate, punishment of it. You do not, however, name the criminal, but you bring the others, who are innocent, under the suspicion of the guilt of the one. You thus wrong unoffending, honourable men (for to subject honourable men even to a passing suspicion is a wrong,) by the very same reserve by which you spare the real criminal. But you may plead the fear of the libel law, under which truth may be punishable. I, then, as one of the Peers who fall within the scope of your charge, pledge myself for my own part, that I will not institute any legal proceedings, if, in answer to the call which I now make on you to name the person whom you mean to accuse, you should name me ; provided you prove the truth of your accusation, which I denounce as a wicked calumny and unmixed lie, so far as regards myself. I have had no communication whatever with any of the Noblemen included in the charge, but I hesitate not to declare it on their part, as well as my own, a gross falsehood. The charge you have made (however improbable) is that of consummate villany ; and, let me observe, that next in wickedness to the commission of such guilt is the false accusation of it. You have now either to sub stantiate your charge, or to remain under the infamy of having made a false accusation. For the proof of your case, you shall have every facility ; I will confine you to neither time nor place. And if you can prove that there is any ground what ever for the story, or that by any plausible construction so infamous an imputation can be made out, I will patiently submit to the dis grace. But should you have preferred so heavy an accusation, without being able to present any evidence or authority in support of it, and without any purpose but that of offering an insult to the Queen, and flinging a calumny on persons whose politics you dis like, the public will know what judgment to pass on such conduct compounded of malignity and mendacity. It is possible that you may say the tale is not your tale, and that you have given place to the representation of a correspondent. But surely no journalist pretend ing to respectability would publish a communication impudently addressed to her Majesty, and making so heavy a personal charge, a charge of "crime," accord ing to the words of the writer, without having prepared himself to adopt and justify it by evidence of facts. Accusations of so very grave a sort cannot be thrown out on the mere assertion of Correspondents, except, indeed, in publications which, having no character for truth, can hurt no character by their falsehoods. I am, &c., FITZIT ARDINGE. SUICIDE THROUGH DlSTRESS.—Thursday an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Bell, Red Lion market, St. Luke's, on the body of Thomas Myatt, a tailor, aged 25. Elizabeth Myatt, deceased's sister, de posed that she resided with her brother at No. 3,Bunhill row, St. Luke's. For the last two months deceased had been in a low, desponding state, and, at times, would stand for an hour, looking in a most vacant manner, and then complain of a shade being before his eyes. He had been a long time out of employ, and she attributed his despond ency to that. He would go out, and stop away from home at nie:ht, roaming about the fields. A short time since a friend of her brother's destroyed himself by hanging, hold of a paper which contained an ac count of e o , f gtti th e ei n n g quest, cut that part out of it, and had car ried it about with him ever since. On Wednesday after noon she left home, about a quarter-past seven o'clock in the evening when she returned, on going up stairs, found the room in darkness, and, feeling about, disco vered the deceased hanging to the bedpost. An alarm was raised, and be was cut down. Mr. Mather, a sur geon, was sent for, but he could do nothing for him. The deceased, when six months old, was knocked down by a gentleman's horse and his head injured. Verdict—Tem porary insanity. Mr. Charles Ketnble has arrived in Paris, his numerous friends will be gratified to learn, in a state of convalescence, after his long and severe illness. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER A, 1141. PALACE CO UltT. WOOD r. GAMBIER.—This was an action it' recover a sum of 431. odd, due by the defendant, a barrister, to the plaintiff; who was formerly proprietor of an house in Portugal street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It appeared that the defendant had offices in Crown-office-row, and living en garcon, was in the habit of sending to the plaintiff's house for several years for his dinners, and occasionally a bottle of wine. Several witnesses were examined, who proved the de livery of the " eatables and drinkables," and payments at various times were admitted, which brought the ba lance due to the sum claimed by the plaintiff. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Ebjah West, a City toll•taker, and John Brand, a City policeman, whom he had called to his aid to enforce payment of the toll, were charged with assaulting the Tooting carrier, taking his cart from him, and lodging it in the Green-yard, to exact two-pence as toll, to which the collector was not entitled. It appeared that the toll is payable on every load of goods brought into or carried out of the City, and the toll-taker's deputy seeing the cart stop at an iron monger's near his station, assumed that it was to receive and not deliver goods, and that though the cart had paid on entering the City to deliver, it must pay again for goods taken up to be carried to Tooting. The carrier denied that he had taken up any goods in the City, and obstinately refused to pay the sum unlawfully demanded. He now called the ironmonger's shopman to prove that he did not take up any goods there. Mr. Alderman T. WOOD asked West if he was now prepared to show the carrier had taken up goods in the City. West said he was not, but the Tooting carrier ought to pay, because all the other carriers did. He might have paid the two-pence, and summoned him if the charge was improper. Mr. Alderman T. WOOD said the onus of giving proof was on the other side. Those who made a claim should be able to prove it, and should be the party to summon. The public must be protected from such outrages as this, and he therefore ordered the toll-taker and policeman to find bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. BOW-STREET. John Hood was charged, before Mr. Jardine, with stealing a copper scale, the property of Mr. James Evans, of Hungerford Market. It appeared that the prisoner walked deliberately up to the shop of the prosecutor, and took down the scale in question, with which he was about to make off, but being observed by a. policeman he was taken into custody. The prisoner said in his defence that he was in a very destitute condition, and that was the reason he had com mitted the offence. He was committed for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. Michael Crawley, a rough and very desperate-looking character, was charged with being found concealed in the area of a house in Ebury-street, Pimlico, at twelve o'clock at night. Anne Muschett stated that she was at present in charge of the house No. 58, Ebury-street. On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, she was in bed with her sister in the kitchen, when they heard the fall of something heavy. They got out of bed and procured a light, and upon opening the kitchen door, found the prisoner crouched in a corner near it. She became dreadfully alarmed and screamed " murder, police," when the pri soner climbed up the area wall like a cat, but as he was getting over the rails : a person seized him and gave him into custody of the police. The prisoner had obtained an entrance into the area by dropping from the street, a depth of 15 feet. The constable, who took the prisoner into custody, said he did not find any housebreaking implements upon him, but he gave an address which had proved to be false. The prisoner pleaded drunkenness as an excuse for being found in the area. . MT. GREGORIE said he had no doubt as to the pri soner's motive in descending into the area, and should, therefore, commit him as a rogue and vagabond to the House of Correction for three months and hard labour.

Major Blair has used the ordinary glasses for years, but never experienced such pernsa. nent ease as he now enjoys; he therefore feels no hesitation in giving them his unqualified approbation, and in recommending their use to all whose sight may require assistance.-5, Parliament. street, 19th August, 1841."
