MORNING SUN. THE REFORMERS OF RENFREW- SHIRE. (From the Renfrewshire Reformer.) DP;NER TO MR. WALLACE, NI.P. FOR GREEN WK, AND MR. P. M. STEWART, M.P. FOR RENFREWSHIItE. Tuesday night, about 200 of the Reformers of this town and neighbourhood sat down to dinner, in the As sembly Rooms, in celebration of the triumph of Reform in the. town of Greenock, and the county of Renfrew. Provost Baine in the chair. After the usual toasts of the " Queen," " Prince Albert,` "• the Princess Royal," &c. The CHAIRMAN said, the toast he had now the honour of proposing was one which he was sure would meet with a warm and heartfelt respouse from this as sembly. It was " her Majesty's Ministers."—(lmmense cheering.) He found that it happened not unfre quently with the Ministers of the Crown, as it did with private individuals, their faults and omissions were brought into view, while their good deeds were laid aside and forgotten.—(Hear.) The better rule, in his opinion, was, to keep in view the good deeds of persons in their situations, and to receive every fair and reasonable ex cuse for their omissione.(Applause.) If they acted upon this rule, they would find that her Majesty's pre sent Ministers, and their immediate predecessors, who pursued the same line of policy, had conferred the greatest benefits upon the country that had ever ,been received from any Ministry whatever.—(Hear, and cheers.) He needed, certainly, to mention no more than the Reform Bill, which had first invested them with the right of sending a Member to Parliament; the Municipal Corpo rations Bill; the complete opening up of trade to India and China; the abolition of colonial slavery; and last, though not feast in the enumeration, the establishmentof a uniform rate of postage, to convince every reasonable man that the Ministess who had introduced, defended, and car ried these measures, in spite of the most virulent opposi tion, had thereby established a just claim to be enrolled amongst the greatest benefactors of their country. — (Great cheering.) But of all the praiseworthy acts of the present Government, there was not one which called for a greater measure of gratitude than that for which the late House of Commons voted them unworthy of its confidencee—(Great cheering.) lie referred to the proposal to - allow to the people of this country a more free and liberal system of commercial intercourse with foreign nations.—(Loud cheers.) There was no measure within the power of the Legislature which was calculated to confer upon the country such substantial benefits or to meet the exigencies and overcome the difficulties in which they were placed, by the extravagances of the Tories in former days, than the establishment of entire and unbounded freedom of trade.—(Cheers.) He meant such freedom of trade as would permit every man W carry the produce of his labour to the best market, and. bring back in return whatever he liked, subject to no restriction or prohibition, but such as was actually necessary fur the purpose of revenue. He maintained that those who wished a change in the present exclusive system wished to take no advantage of those who were opposed to them. They were of opinion that the rule which ought to be adopted for the guidance of all, was simply this ; give the merchant and manufacturer a fair flea!, and, no favour, and this was all they required. - eh) one could deny that this was a just and manly rule, but it was not a rule which the monopolists would sub mit to. They wished to be hedged round with what they were pleased to call protection; that is, they insisted on being allowed an unfair advantage over their fellow citizens ; or, to speak in language which he was not very fond of using, but which was not more plain than true, they insisted that all other classes of the community should be plundered for their benefit.----(lmmense cheer ing.) That the rich man should be deprived of a por tion of his wealth, and what was worse, that the poor man should be robbed of a portion of his scanty earnings —(continued cheering)—to enhance the value of their monopolies or swell their rent rolls.—(Cheers.) The toast was drank amidst loud and long continued cheering. The CeateneraN said the toast he had now the honour of proposing was one of the two leading toasts of the evening ' being the health of their excellent and much respected representative, Mr. Wallace.—(Great cheering which was again and again renewed as the Chairman was about to proceed.) He was sure they were all most happy to meet with Mr. Wallace on this occasion, and to offer him their most sincere and hearty thanks and congratulations on his being again elected to represent the town of Greenock, in Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) There was only one particular in Mr. W.'s public conduct which he would advert to, which was his niefitorious and successful exertions on the Postage question.—(Great applause.) The former Post-office tax was a tax upon knowledge of every kind, and was to the poor a complete prohibition of every kind of written communication with absent friends, thus rending asunder the dearest ties, and sti fling one of the purest and most virtuous enjoyments of which their nature was capable.—(Cheers.) The advan tage and enjeyment opened up by the penny postage could not be estimated by money ; it was in point of fact aboae all money and all price —(Great cheering)—and had Mr. Wallace never done more than to carry that measure, he had thereby earned a claim to the lasting gratitude of the whole country.—(Renewed cheering.) The toast was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Wateace (when the cheering had subsided) said lie rose with the greatest satisfaction to address them on the present occasion.—(Cheers.) If he were to say he did not, he would not be giving the honest expression of his heart. It was an honour of which he was indeed proud, he being elected the fourth time to represent in the Corn saons House' of Parliameat such an intelligent, enter pri,ing, and wealthy a community as the inhabitants of Greenock ; and' he was no less proud that the principles ivhich had first indifek‘d the constituency to choose hini, and which lie had uniformly supported in the situation in which they had placed him, Were those very principles neon the strength of which they had again returned him to Parliament. It was mast satisfactory to him that after a nine years' trial, it had been their pleasure again to put him forward to defend those principles, and to being them, if possible, more generally into operation. The system of progressive Reform had been a principle which Ire (Mr. Wallace) had always endeavoured to act upon, and for the first three years of his Parliamentary life, im mediately after the Reform Bill, reform was progressive ; but he was sorry to say that for the last six years the Re form Bill might be said to be in a positive state of abeyance. He thought that the present Government had not suffi ciently progressed with reform when they had the power to do so.—(Hear.) He would not conceal the sentiments which he entertained, and therefore had expressed boldly that lie considered the Ministers were them selves much to blame for the situation in which they found themselves placed. But at the same time he was not blind to the fact that in numerous instances they had been prevented by their political opponents from proceeding as they really' wished.—(Hear, hear. Mr. Wallace here read and commented upon extracts from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel to his constituents at Tamworth, and to the Merchant Tailors' Corporation of London, showing that the constant and uniform endea vours of that statesman and the party of which he was the leader, was to arrest the progress ofevery liberal measure.) From the time when the fluke of Wellington had been invested with all the offices of state, the hopes of that party, permanently to regain office, had increased daily, and nothing had been left undone which could bring them to that condition. They would all recollect thet Sir Robert Peel hail succeeded to office in 1335, that he was beat upon the address, upon the Speakership, and other miner matters, and latterly, that he had been again forced to resign on the appropriation principle of the Church of Ireland Bill. Since that time the cry of regis ter, register, had been cons t an tly r ei tera t e d , f or t h e pur pose, as Sir Robert Peel avowed, of restoring what he called•the..just influence of the aristocracy in the re presentation of the country. They all knew what that meant, and most successfully did they prevail in urging on the Government to its certain fate—the just influence of the aristocracy truly ! What right had this class to any thing beyond their votes as individual s , any more than the great body of the people who lived in the towns and cities of the empire ? but, acting under this determination their numbers h a d gra du a lly i ncreased, till now, he be lieved they would have a clear majority of nearly eighty. He would ask. if th is would have occurred if the Liberal Go- . vernincnt had secured to the people household suffrage, tri ennial Parliaments, and especially Vote by Ballot ? C ou ld they have driven the 'constituency into corners, and forced them to have voted against their conscientious con viction, if the voters had had that protection? He was convinced that they would have been able to do no such thing ; but the present Ministry bad undoubtedly for a time lost the opportunity of securing Liberal measure ; and they would have to abide the result. At the Tamworth public dinnera'on the 7th of August, 1837, which took place immediately before the general elec tion, Sir Robert Peel, in the course of his speech, spoke as fol ows to the constituency ,of that town :—The Con servatives," he said, " were determined to use all their power to preserve the just influence of the aristocracy in reference to the representation of the country ; they had Manifested their strength in the last Parliament, and would return above 300 to the next. He rejoiced at the very large return which had already taken place of Con servative Members ; for by it they would be enabled to prevent any encroachment upon the Constitution, and give encouragement to the Government to oppose suc cessfully the questions of Household Suffrage, Triennial Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot. They should, there fore, rep. • liber that they (the electors) had a duty to per form. 'the advice which had been given by some per sons was, agitate, agitate, agitate ; the advice which he would give them would be, • register, register, regis ter.' Let them be always prepared for an election, and by these means they would have the inestimable advantage of protecting their own . property and their own liberty, and they would have alsO the gratifying satisfaction of knowing that they had not allowed the rights and privileges which ought to descend to their posterity to be injured." And so say I, said Mr. Wallace. Let us always be prepared for an e:e:'tion, and the sooner we have another the better. He held in his hand a communication from a friend in Lon don, which contained list of all those Conservatives who had driven Reformers out of counties, and the burghs, throughout the kingdom, and it surprised him to see a manlier of excellent men who had been ousted, to allow those who had the support of the landed interest to get into Parliament, although they possessed no qualification for the situation whatever, b u t t h at o f b e i ng prepare d to ro s the people by means of the Corn-laws.—(G rea t cheering.) With by exceptions these new Members were not known to the country, but as they could vote, they t wo u ld b e excee di ng l y useful to the party to which Rey were attached. It had been asked how the Minis ters of the Crown would act on the opening of Parlia ment. That was a difficult question to answer, but he thought it would not be very difficult to say what course Sir Robert Peel off t‘hvould take. He (Mr. W.) believed he would put of. the consideration of what should be the ruary. In that way Parliament till the month. of Feb he would keep the country in a state of expeetati, and if by that ti revival of trade s h ould me symptoms of a aPrear, then on the which such a eire popularity umetance weuld give hem' —for he would - - take all the credit of the increased improvement to the Conservative Government—he would attempt to carry on the administration of the affairs of the nation.—(ikar and cheers.) But he hoped it would be borne in mind who had placed the:country in the situation in which it now was. Who Istr6 the advisers of the Crown when a national debt of 800,000,0001. had been incurred, which debt Sir Robert Peel had, by the Bill which he passed in 1819, making them pay in gold what was borrowed in paper, increased in value 40 per cent. The Corn-laws was the next resort of that statesman, to enable him to keep up his popularity with the landed interest, and which had the effect of supporting that interest under the previous enhancement of the national debt, but had pressed the people into the earth. He confessed, in one point of view he was not sorry that the To ries had gotten such a large majority, as it had been a complaint with Sir Robert Peel before, that there was no use to develope his schemes of ameliora tion when there was no chance of them being car ried. Now, however, he had the power, and he trusted that they would soon be favoured with his wonderful measures, if he had any such to bring forward, as there was no doubt he must consider 80 a sufficient majority. But after all he was afraid there was no good in store, and if he did anything, it would just be by doing in an underhand, bit by bit way, some of those very measures, in place of adopting that bold and magnificent manner, which had been lately proposed by the present Govern ment. After referring shortly to several other subjects, he resumed his seat amidst great applause. The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of their very dis tinguished and respectable guest, Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart, the Liberal representative of the county of lien- frew.—(linmense applause.) Mr. P. M. STEWART, on rising, was received with cheers. As his Hon. Friend Mr. Wallace had said there perhaps never was a time when the representatives of the people of this free country had to go forth to such a struggle as that in which they were now en ;aged ; and, therefore, he would say, let those who, like him, had come forward to represent the liberal and unfettered opinion of this country put on their armour, and draw their swords, and cast away their scabbards.—(Great cheering.) He was determined to get those measures for which he contended, regardless of the men who might bring them forward.—(Cheers.) But when he said that, he asked them to recollect the position in which they were placed ; to recollect what lten frewshire had done in this great battle of opinim, which had just gone past. There never was an election in which opinion was so- freely brought to bear as this ; analysis of the poll would show them that men of all parties had met and offered up their own political dif ferences, in order to enforce the maintenance of those opinions promulgated by her Majesty's Government. — (Cheering.) And he might ask, would it not £tartle their opp meats to find on what vantage ground they stood ? to find a country such as this, extensive in all its interests, and deeply Involved in the success of the commerce, manufactures, and the agriculture of the country, would it not startle them to find that Renfrew shire had made the choice it had done of four representa tives ? First and foremost Greenock, the fourth town in point of importance in the United Kingdom, sendiug up his honourable friend Mr. Wallace, who had ever been the advocate of free trade.—(Cheers.) Then, coming next, the neighbouring town of Kilmarnock, penitent for what she had done—(Great cheering and laughter) — repentant, he said, of her tormer transgressions, and returning a man who had not the nautical skill to make him famous in boxing every point of the political com pass—(Cheers and laughter)—chasing from her his once Liberal friend, Mr. Colquhoun, and placing in his stead their honest, substantial, business like friend, Mr. Johnson.—(Great cheering.) And then Paisley, the centre of gauze and manufacture, sends a man well qualified to represent its manufacturing and trading interests—all parties meeting _ _ _ _ to run to the poll, and place Mr. llastie at the head of it. And then last, but not least, was the great county of Renfrew itself, for want of a better, placing him in the situation of its representative, when he offered his services with trembling and fear, and to his astonishment, now bringing up the rear of their four representatives.— (Great cheering.) It was not, he was bound to say, the fault of the electors of Renfrewshire if Liberal principles were not duly represented and manfully enforced.—(Loud cheers.) These, he held, were striking features in this election, and might startle their opponents a little. By the way, he would ask them to look what Scotland had done throughout this great struggle. Scotland, though somewhat diminished in her majority, had yet a number that stamped her mind to judge and her freedom to act. —(Loud Cheering.) And she - was now, among all the nations that formed the component parts of the United Kingdom, standing proudly forth as the defender of free and liberal opinions. She had sent, out of her fifty three Members, a majority of nine to support those mea sures which her Majesty's Ministers had promulgated. In the counties, which were thirty, they had ten who represented Liberal principles and an improvement in the Corn-laws, and twenty who opposed them. In the towns, which numbered twenty-three altogether, they had 21 who had decided in favour of the Liberal measures. —(Cheering.) And what was the inference to be drawn from this fact ?—and whence this boasted majority in behalf of the wrong cause ? Scotland, where elections had been free and uncontaminated in her towns, and in some of her counties, as in Renfrewshire, had stamped with her own impress of intellect and independence the principles which she had avowed.—(Cheering.) And Ireland too ! He should like to see what she would do in the face of those unprecedented. steps which were taken to repress her energies. The Hon. Gentleman, after one or two further observations, proceeded to make some remarks on the Church question, repeating his for mer statements in defence .of the spiritual independence of the Church, and sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. STEELE then proposed the health of Mr. thistle, M.P. for Paisley ; and also the health of Mr. John ston, M. P. for Kilmarnock. Drank with all the honours. Mr. LU3ISDEN returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN gave successively " The Church of Scotland" and the " Dissenters of Scotland," and each of the toasts was drank with all the honours. Mr. WALLACE was next called upon for a toast, and gave " An early and complete revision to their Commer cial Code." The toast was responded to with great applause. Mr. STEWART proposed " Prosperity to the trade of Greenock," which was drank with great applause. Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL gave " The Memory of James Watt," which was responded to by the company with the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. A. GRAHAM gave " The health of the Chairman," which was received with great approbation. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. Several other toasts having been proposed, the party broke up. SCOTLAND. FAST-DAY AMUSEMENTS. (From the Glasgow Argus.) Thursday being the day appointed by the General Asembly as a fast, to be held all over Scotland, in the principal streets of this city, including Trongate, Argyle street, Buchanan-street, Queen-street, nearly all the shops were shut ; but, in the suburbs and the secondary streets, matters were entirely,reversed, not one in twenty being closed. Almost all the public works, too, were going as usual. The partial shutting up of shops and warehouses which took place, had the effect of throwing idle a large number of the citizens, the great majority of whom, judging by the crowded state of the steam boats and railway trains, instead of going to church, must have betaken themselves to the country. As we stated in our last would be the case, the business of the Police Court proceeded as usual, and the Commissioners of Police, regardless of the injunctions of the Assembly, sat and transacted their wonted secular business. The Post Office runners, too, were employed in the unsanctified labour of delivering letters and newspapers through the city ; and, had it not been for the closing of the places of business in the three principal streets, the ringing of the bells, and the overburdened state of our railway and boat omnibuses, no one could have drawn the conclusion that the city was even nominally engaged in the work of humiliation and fasting. As to the attendance in church, from all we can learn,it was sorry enough—many who are regularly in their pews on Sabbath having seized the opportunity of enjoying a day's recreation at the sea-side. The steamers on the Clyde were all filled to overfioWing, some of them so much so, that, fro:n fear of accident, great numbers of passengers left them at the nearest ports to which they had access. Nor were the fears of dan ge r a lt oge th er groun dl ess. I n some instances the passeng ers were thrown into serious a larm ; and a case of collision, which occurred a t G ou r ock, where the two steam-boats, which crossed each jaunt in;; wardscu customers. e n r o s. f other, were literally packed, had well nigh been attended rail ways eonsequences traly disastrous.

AIRDRIE.—The appearance of Airdrie this day de serves to be noticed. Not one - third of the shopswereshut, and even some of those that were shut were doing business within. Coaches and carts were going as usual masons, and wrights, and weavers were at their work ; colliers and miners were seen returning from their employ ment ; men were breaking stones on the highway ; Airdrie mill went on in its ordinary way. We have not heard particularly how the quoad sacra churches (the only churches where there was a public service) were at tended ; but, judging from the numbers that appeared to be going and returning from church, there must have been merely a handful in those places where they met to mourn over the difficulties of the Church. We over heard a country woman, passing through the town, say ing to another, "We e l, this is the most comical fast-day that ever I saw." Since the above was written, we have heard that there were twenty-four persons in one of the churches. (From the Aberdeen Herald.) THE NON•INTRUSION FAST.—We have received a number of communications, from all parts of the coun try, on the subject of the Asseinbly's Fast, on Thin'sdlY —the sum and substance of which are, that it has proved a complete failure. This was more particularly the case at Old Me'drum, where :he author of "Associatio Jost his- temper: because the scattered ' feW that weiit to Bear would not listen with patience to the "Assembly's Pas toral Address," THF.ATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI.

But will they not put the country to great ad ditional expense ? We think that they ineVi tably will, and we shall trace some of the causes of an increased expenditure under a Tory Ad- ministration. The Tories are much more hostile to France than the Whigs; and the Tory Press has assidu ously endeavoured to excite the anger and wound the morbid vanity of France. They have succeeded; and the feelings of irritation which now prevail will he strengthened by the acces 7 sion of the Tories to office. But the mutual jealousy which exists between France and Eng land is already a source of great expense to both. They probably do each other more in jury from that cause than any other two nations, and their mutual jealousy and mutual expense will be augmented by the expected change in our Ministry. Moreover, the Whigs strove to extend trade as a means of cementing peace be tween nations. They. wished to open our mar kets to corn from Germany, Russia, Prussia, and the United States, and all parts of the world, which, establishing or extending commercial re lations with those countries, would be a guaran tee against war, and would enable us to lessen our fleet and army. The Tories have strenuously opposed the extension of trade. They will on no account allow a regular trade in corn between England and those countries; and their advent to power must cause a diminution of national se curity and additional expense, without any in crease of resources. . As to treaties of alliance and friendly disposi tions between Sovereigns, of which the Tories may perhaps boast as to' Russia, they are com paratively ~of no importance whatever, unless they be supported by the mutual and reciprocal interests of the different nations. But the ob ject of the sulky national independence advo 7 cated by the Tories, is to isolate England, and de stroy these mutual and reciprocal interests. When they are at an end, treaties of alliance will not be worth the Paper they are written on, and con sequently, by denying us an extension of trade, the Tories increase the chances of war. With respect also to our colonies, the Tories ad vocate governing them from home. They always have opposed, as long as possible, the wish of the colonies to have an independent Constitution. The wishes of the colonists being refused, they can only be governed by, force, and thus the Tories may be expected to increase our expenditure in relation to the colonies. Report assigns the post of Secretary at War to Sir H. HARDINQ:B, who is a great advocate for a more rapid_ and extensive system of relief for our colonlal garrisons; and if he act on his principles, he must require an additional military force. It is plain, therefore, that the Tories, who have defeated the Ministers, and are preparing to take their places because the Ministers proposed to lighten the public burdens, cannot decrease the expenditure, and must add to the taxes. The most rabid enemies of the Ministers never accused them of persecuting the mem bers of the Anglican Church by proposing to place the Dissenters and the Catholics on an equal footing with them, and nobody ever dreamed that they would break out into re bellion, however much they might grumble, because justicelwere done to their fellow subjects. At the same time their claims of exclusive pri vileges are injuries and insults to the Dissenters and Catholics; and many persons anticipate, when the Tories get into power, that their arro gant extension of these exclusive privileges will provoke opposition and resistance from the Dis senters and Catholics. Injustice is ever very expensive. The Tories, by continually refusing to give equal rights and equal i'•amunities to the Catholics and Dissenters, act on principles of injustice, and their Government will necessarily be more expensive than that of the Whigs. One of their greatest, indeed almost their only measure, last session was Lord STANLEY'S Irish Registration Bill, which, under a sancti fied garb, was exclusively directed against the Catholic population of Ireland, who have already expressed their detestation of that Bill. As a Minister Lord STANLEY will bring it forward again, and go far to provoke the Catholics into a just and forcible resistance to him and his measures. And we beg to inform the Tories, re assuring by the remark many of our Liberal friends, that open and forcible resistance to the Tories, with their bribed and bought majority, is not rebellion. But if it were, rebellion against tyranny such as they have practised would be justified, and whethtftr justified or not, it is very very likely to ensue, if the Tories, as Ministers, act on the principles they have professed as an Opposition. Lord STANLEY'S Bill followed out would be another source of increased expense and diminished resources. No doubt Sir R. INGLIS will renew his motion for Church Extension under happier• auspices, when his friends are in office. No doubt, too, that Sir R. PEEL, who voted for that motion, will give it his official support. His Ministry, there time, will inflict an additional injury on the Dis senters, and will justly provoke their dissatisfac tion and resistance. There is-another great class of men in whom Sir ROBERT PEEL'S accession to office will excite many angry feelings. M. DE TOCQUEVILLE has written an elaborate book to point out the grow ing and certain ascendancy of democracy, and to recommend statesmen to endeavour to guide and govern it. Sir ROBERT PEEL, however, as is avowed by his adherents, is forced into office by an aristocratic movement, to resist the demo cracy. The democracy are the many, the aris tocracy the few; and he, therefore, assumes power to rule the many, in spite of their wishes, for the benefit of the few. He acts consist ently, for his whole life has been a sue , cession of defeats, battling against the democracy. Every extension of the suffrage, every plan to give liberty to the multitude, and enable them to exercise a fair share of political power, he has most strenuously and most consistently opposed. lie will undoubtedly abide by the same principle in office ; and hence, on the part of the unenfranchised;—on the partof the democracy, dissatisfitction, anger, and most likely strenuous, if not violent means, to obtain their rights, and give a legal expreSi oo to their will. In this statement we have plainly set down a few of the circumstances which will make the Tories—who are about to turn out the Ministers because they proposed to re lieve the people and increase the revenue — augment the national expenditure, curtail the national resources, and add to the burdens of the people. We have neither exaggerated nor wished to deceive. In our judgment, the princi ples of the Tories are vicious, their system of Government most unjust, and we can anticipate nothing from it, if carried out in office as it has been developed in opposition, but a great increase. of public distress. We hope Lord JOHN - RUSSELL'S disclaimer of all vexatious .opposition to the Tories does not extend beyond the walls of Parliament. For ex ample, when the Tories accept office they will have to vacate several seats, all of which ought to he contested. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Whigs will surely exert themselves to oppose the re-election of Tories. We are happy to see that Exeter, which it is supposed Sir Wm. FOLLETT will vacate, is already prepared with a man to contest the seat, and that Mr. BULLEIt has a good chance of being success ful. In the same manner every seat vacated ought to be contested, and whether Lord JonN RUSSELL and the Whigs help the people or not to harass the Tories, the Liberal electors will, no doubt, do that to the complete conviction of the Tories that political rogues, such as they are, will never be allowed to have any repose. • Every day brings to light new facts, and be= fore those elections take place, many of the pre judices engendered by the Tories may be dissi7 pated, and they may afford to the Liberals an easy conquest. We cannot even suppose that Lord STANLEY, after his insolent and fallacious speech to _the electors of North Lancashire, can safely calculate do his re-election. We earnestly conjure the electors, therefore, of all the places likely_to be vacated, to be pre pared With a man to oppose the re-election of the Tory, and to be resolved to harass the plun dering monopolists to the utmost extent of their means. The striking [manner in which Lord STANLEY'S speech has been shown up in several Lancashire papers, will make it a complete dis grace to the Lancashire freeholders if that piece of loud-mouthed gabble be again elected without opposition, in order to misrepresent and starve the people of Lancashire. As the Tories begin to find out that the prin ciples on which they are to act, will not bear looking at, they are putting forth claims to the national respect on the ground of their moral cha racter. They are to be permitted to plunder, because they are well-bred and well-behaved. The Whigs are paw-paw people, and therefore no political principle proposed by them can be good. The Tories are all &dent Church-going folk, and therefore they may do as they like with the people's property. It is their boast that they are unanimous in putting on a decent ap pearance and maintaining monopoly. Like Vir ginia planters, they are the soul of honour to wards one another; the people they treat as the planterS treat their slaves. It is quite amusing to notice the self-compla cency with which the Anglican Church m9nopo lists, who take to Themselves the property that was destined to provide instruction for the whole people—the landed monopolists who insist on starving the people down so that they may just live on their estate and must live nowhere else—the sugar monopolists, who will not allow our people to consume a grain of sugar unless it grows on their estates, and pays a heavy tax to them—and the mono polists of rotten ships and Canadian tim ber, who insist on preserving an exclusive right to drown some two thousand seamen an nually,—it is quite amusing to notice how all. these resolved and determined plunderers of the rest of the community boast that they possess all the virtue of the empire, and. that the country will be well governed now that they and their man have got the ascendancy. No doubt the country will be well governed for their interest, and the preservation of their power, but the rest of the community will be enslaved. How long such a species of misrule may last, will depend on the patience of the insulted and injured people• The Extraordinary Express from. Paris, pub lished in our Afternoon Edition of Monday, anticipated most of the news contained in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The fbildwing com munication from our Correspondent of that date, and the extracts which follow it, include all the additional information to be gleaned from Sun day's Journals (FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, JULY 25.—There has been an extraordinary dearth of political news of importance for the last few days, and the only thing that has had to be remarked by the readers of the French Papers and the hunters after political intelligence, has been the absence of information on points where it was much wanted. Thus, Admiral Hugon's squadron has sailed from Toulon, the Moniteur, and the other ozgans of the Government taking especial care to say nothing about its destination. We have rea son to believe that it is going to follow the small division which sailed a few weeks ago, nominally for Tunis, but in reality fur Greece and Candia, and that Admiral Hugon will show himself in the Levant. The precise object of this move is difficult to be conjectured, on ac count of the very peaceable nature of the latest intelli gence from the East ; but there must be something to have caused the late despatching of live British vessels of war from Malta for Syria, since followed by soiree more : and now that France has " re-entered the European con cert," as the Government scribes have it, she possibly thinks it a good opportunity to let the tri-coloured flag again appear in the Eastern seas. There is, hoivever, nothing warlike in the movement ; and the last mail from i\ialta makes things to be more tranquil than for a long time past. Another omission is that of M. liumann, the Finance Minister, to send out his loan : the talk goes that no issue will take place before :December ; and a very im probable rumour has been circulated that this Minister may after all, issue it in Four per Cents. This in the present state of the Money Market could hardly be effected. It is asserted by some semi-official prints that the.ob ject of the Royal and Noble personages who waited on the Queen Dowager of Spain yesterday, was not so much to compliment her Majesty on her fete day, as to congratu late her on putting her name to the last composition of M. Rea Bermudez, called " A Protest against the Guardian ship." The Queen of the French and some of the Princesses went to their illustrious relative on this occa sion—a circumstance which is alone sufficient to contra dict such a rumour. The cautious prudence of the wily head of the Orleans family (who is just as fond of having his own way with all the members of his family as with the State,—and has more than once taken the amiable Duchess of Orleans to task for presuming to offer her opinion in his august presence) would never allow the Queen to compromise his slippery policy towards Spain to such an extent. Wer are able to affirm that M. de Saint Aulaire has definitively been named to the French Embassy at London, and that he has accepted it ; but only on condition of entering upon the office when not a. shadow of uncertainty shall remain as to the state of the East (which is still considered as liable to fluctuations) and when the Baron de Bourquenay shall be able to give him admission to Manchester House with a perfectly clear portfolio. The new Am bassador is a gentlemanlike man, of conciliating dispo sition, and was a great favourite at Vienna. It is rumoured here in certain Conservative circles that in case of a Tory Administration coming into power in England, Lord Stuart de Rdthesay will again lie , sent over as Ambassador, at least for a time. This is said to be at the special recommendation of the Duke of Wel lington. But even if his Lordship should come it will only be to keep the place open for Lord Canterbury, who may be considered the definitive Ambassador. The Toulouse affair is blowing over.- The Govern ment is afraid of the state of feeling in the capital, and dares not to show its teeth at Toulouse—otherwise, Vie victis I M. Maurice Duval, the Commissioner Extraor dinary, has been making a conciliatory speech (a thing he never did before in his life !) and it is to be hoped that this awkward business will not turn out so unfortu nately for the people as was at one time feared. It is truly ludicrous to see the Government people now swearing by all their gods that they abhor the idea of screwing up the taxes The grapes are sour. The Moniteur of the-25th July has no official part. M. Decazes, junior, arrived at Havre, from St. Petersburgh, on the night of the 23d, on board the Tage steamer. The Journal du Huvre announces that he set out immediately for Paris, with very urgent despatches for the French Government. —Le Constitutionnel. The,King was expected this evening at the Tuile ries, where he will remain till after the fetes. . M. de Toreno, who is now at Paris, appears to act a sort of political part ; he has had within these few days several conferences with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which have perhaps some connection with the protest of the ex-Regent against the resolUtion of the Cortes, which had deprived him of the guardianship of his daughter. A new promotion of Peers is said to be in contem plation, at least it is reported that Al. Sebastiani will be very shortly introduced into the palace of the Luxem bourg.. W hat seems to giire some foundation to the re port is, that the Ministry is accused of already taking steps to secure the election of M. Agenor de Gasperen in Corsica.—Le Temps. According to the same journal, M. Humann in tends to defer the issue of the loan till the month of December-next. The Tage, Captain Veripecke, which, notwith standing the bad weather, has performed in seven days the voyage from St. Petersburgh to Havre, met in the Cattegat, on the night of The 19th instant, with a French frigate, supposed to be the Danae, which is sent to Cron stadt to be at the disposal of M, de Barante, our Ambas sador in Russia, The whole plain of Valence is reaped. Thd is fine, having been protected from the great heat by several days of damp and rainy weather.. The harvest, without being abundant, is at Watt EitsOVe that of ordinary years. The farmers are content,--Le Cornfiteree, Advices from the lonian Islands of the 7th instant state, that the new Lord High Cotninissioner had hitherto led a most retired life, and as yettheld only one levee, oit the anniversary of the coronation of Queen Victoria, at which he, for the first time, received the local authori ties and the Foreign Consuls. Accounts from Tunis of the 9th inst., brought by the Malta Times of the 15th, state that the Bey was ac tively engaged in repairing the fortifications and training his troops, in the anticipation of an attack from the Turks. Ile had then about 7,000 men concentrated at the Goletta. The Montebello and Neptune, two French ships of the line, had arrived in Tunis a few days before. The Portaloglio Maltese of the 12th inst. publishes intelligence 'from Tripoli of the 4th, announcing that the province of Gorian had made its submission to the Bey, that the Scheik Ghuma had taken refuge in the noun- tains with his most zealous partisans, and all the chiefs of the villages had been made prisoners, and sent on board a vessel to be conveyed to Tripoli. Five deputies despatched by Ghuma to offer peace to AhMet Pacha had been marched loaded with chains to Tripoli; and decapi tated. Mrs. Warrington, Wife . of Colonel 11. 'Warrington, our Consul-General, died at Tripoli on the qinst. Th e G anges also sailed on Sunday foir. Mallon, to watch the movements of the French fleet under Admiral Hugon, which, ill well as that destined for the Levant under Admiral Lasusse, are known to have sailed from Toulon, and on the 24th u lti m o were both cruizing off the Balearic Islands, without their precise object being known. A line-of-battle ship and two frigates, no doubt forming part of the squadron for the Levant, passed Malta on the 29th ultimo, Ist, and 3d instant. The French corvette Embuscade suffered some dam age in the Levant from an explosion of thirty charges of gunpowder, which were lying on the poop drying. The gunner and two others of her crew were killed, and eight or ten men wounded. Mons. Mallet, the commander, had a miraculous escap We regret to learn from a Correspondent at Madrid that a marked jealousy of this country begins to manifest itself among all classes in the Spanish capital. A i umour:d request of the British Government to a military hospital at Palma, has given rise to a popular impression that England is . about to seize the Balearic Isles. The outrages of some smugglers on the Spanish coast is likewise laid at the door of our Government, as if it was the duty of a British Minister to enforce the orderly observance of the Spanish Commercial Code ! Spain will injure herself by her suspicions, and the intemperate language of her Deputies. To prevent smug gling the remedy is easy and efficacious—throw trade open by abolishing the high rate of import aad export duties. THE QUEEN AT WOBURN ABBEY.-lt will be seen from the " Court Circular," that her Majesty and Prince Albert, with a numerous suite, arrived at the seat of the Duke of Bedford on Monday evening, and met with a most enthusiastic reception from the inhabitants in the'r progress through the country. After dinner an 0d,., prepared for the occasion, we suppose, was sungzin front of the Abbey ; but who the happy author of the verses is, our courtly guide does not inform us. Were the Post Laureate in good health (and all who know his amiable qualities deeply regret he is not) he would probably sing, as Byron sung of some of Southey's verses, " For God's sake, reader, take them not for mine." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The Halifax steamer may now be expected in the course of a day or two, as she was to leave on the 19th instant. The overland mail is also looked for with some anxiety. The produce markets seem less buoyant, at least as regards two important articles of consumption—viz., tea and cinnamon, which at the auctions to• day went off very flatly. The former, indeed, was stopped before it had progressed far, by a rumour that the overland mail had arrived, but this proved to be unfounded. There was a very steady market for the Funds all day, and prices were firmly maintained. For immediate transfer Consols were marked 89+ to 90, and for Ac count 90 to 901—the market closing at the highest of these quotations ; Exchequer Bills were at the premium of 17s. to 19s. ; and East India Bonds were firm at 9s. premium ; Bank Stock was steady at 171 ; and India Stock at 248 to 249 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realised 984 to 99 . ; the Reduced Three-and-a- Half per Cents. 99/ to a ; and the Three per Cent. An nuities 90,-} to 90+. A moderate business was done. There was scarcely anything doing in the Foreign Mrrket. Active Spanish Bonds receded from 20.-1 to 191 ; the New Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds were done at 30+ ; Mexican Bonds were a shade higher, viz., 26+ ; Cuba realized 71 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51+ to 52k, and the Five per Cents. 102+ to 101+. .I.'he Railway Shares were not brisk, but they brought previous rates.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 26.—A very moderate business has been done in the Cotton Market to-day, not more than 2,500 bales having been sold ;of this quantity, 200 of Americans and 300 Surats have been taken by exporters, at prices without any variation since Friday. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY 26.—We have only three transactions to report this day at the Stock Exchange :—Eastern Counties Debentures 81 ; Edin burgh, Leith, and Newhaven 37 1 ; Glasgow , Paisley , and reenock 263:. Nothing to report. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 26.—The sales of to-day are Eastern Counties,. 8 ; London and South Western, 54? ; Bank of Manchester, 51 : 16s. ; Manchester and Salford Banks, 97. The business in the City markets yesterday was of little consequence. The chief feature was the price of Foreign Corn, and in consequence of the favourable' state of the weather, did not advance. • When sales were pressed, one or two shillings lower were taken. The overland mail from India is expected in the course of the week, and, in all probability, will bring some in telligence of importance from China. The British Funds opened firm this morning with an improvement of per cent. on the leaving off price of yesterday.

It is a constitutional maxim that before an Opposition endeavour to turn out a Ministry, it must be prepared to govern the country instead of the Ministry it displaces. It is at the same time clear, that to be consistent, to enable it to preserve character and dignity, and ensure the respect of the community, it must carry on the Government on the political principles it pro fessed in opposition. At present it will not do to repeat the conduct of the PULTEiEYS and the SANDYS, when they destroyed the WALPOLE Administration, and assume the principles and adopt the tactics of the displaced party. -What ever Sir R. PEEL may think, lie will not, in seizing office, inherit, as the Indians suppose when they strip an enemy of his skin, the talents, measures, and virtues of his defeated opponents. It is clear, therefore, that Sir R. PEEL and his co adjutors must, for their own sakes, follow out in office the principles which they have acted on in opposition. What are those principles ? The Ministers brought forward a Budget to increase the revenue of the State without adding to the burdens of the people. An increase of revenue will be as necessary to Sir R. PFEL as it was to the Government of Viscount MELnounNr. ; and as Sir it. PEEL negatived the proi)osition of Ministers, he has rejected the principle of giving relief to the people, and will find himself obliged to add to their burdens. He does not hope to reduce the public burdens, nor did he attempt at any time to show that it was possible. On the contrary, he and his party, both in Par liament and in the gross, are the advocates of large establishments and the opponents .of .eco. 7 nolnr.
