A•VENING SUN THE "TIMES " v. THE MINISTRY ! We deeply regret that Ministers should have departed from the discreet reserve which, upon other subjects, they seem to have proscribed to themselves, for the purpese of disappointing, in a most material point, the hopes which we and many others had conceived of them. It was , impossible; indeed, that we should not have en tertained certaiii - inisgivings, when we saw Sir James Graham•sek:cted for the office of Home Secretary ;' yet, upon the whole, it seemed not inconsistent with the tone adopted by that Right Hon. Baronet in the last Session of Parliament, and throughout by Sir Robert Peel, to believe that they were prepared to re-con sider the principle as well as the details of the New PooiLlaw. Even so late as on Monday evening Sir James Graham declared that during the interval between o the pres e nt an d t h e approaching Session every port i on f that law would be carefully- reviewed ; and certainly we did hope that this review would be carried on without a foregone determination upon any particular ques• tion involved in it. But in Tuesday's debate the un welcome, and to us unexpected, announcement was made, that the Home Secretary holds himself " con scientiously pledged to the principle of that measure, al though it may require some consideration, and be sus ceptible of some amendments ;" and that he will not recede from it." Recede from it, of course, he cannot, while he feels himself under a conscientious obligatiOn to pursue the opposite course ; but how this supposed obligation can present itself to his mind under the 'form of a pledge, we are really at a loss to under stamj, Does he. mean that, in a matter which depends entirely upon practice, he feels his moral freedom of ac tion, and his power of attending to the results of expe rience, compromised by what he may have said or done antecedently to experience ? If so, we cannot augur good-from the administration of such a statesman. The principle of the New Poor-law, if we at all understand it, consists in this—that it establishes a floating legislative discretion in the place of laiv, and substitutes a central for a local authority. This, or, in other words, the poWer of the Poor-law Com missioners, is the essence, . the whole sum and sub stance, of the act 011834. ,And the principle of the ad ministrative system, or of the law for the time being laid down by the Commissioners, in the exercise of the authority thus devolved upon them, consists in the work house test. To both of these, we fear, Sir Robert Peel's Government must now be considered pledged. What the consequences may be, we grieve to think. To us, personally, they will involve the painful necessity of waging war, with as much perseverance as ever, upon principles with which the Ministers whom we support will from this time be identified. The poor must submit to the postponement, for an in definite period, of that just and constitutional settle ment of the law on which their interests so largely de pend—a settlement which we had vainly flattered our selves it was reserved for the present Administration to effect. The Government must be prepared for a formi dable diminution of that enthusiastic confidence which a fortnight since was at their command, and will pro bably find the preservation of order during the ensuing winter infinitely more difficult than if they had taken a different course. The remote effect upon the duration of Sir Robe#'•Peel's ascendancy we shall not pretend to foretel, but we fear this untoward resolution will prove a heavy blow and discouragement to Conservatism, and greatly! strengthen the hands of the Opposition, espe cially upon the subject of the Corn-laws. It is to - us inconceivable how any statesman, who has attended to the lessons of history, can fail to see that the perpetuation in a free country of such an institution as the Poor-law Commission, is not merely an impolitic or an unjust measure, but an i mposs ibili ty. We are sure that if the whole Biitish nation could be polled, an overwhelming- majority would affirm the sentiments of Mr. Wortley, 'the Conservative Member for the largest constituency in the kingdom. "No man," he said, " could deny that the powers of the Commissioners, notwithstanding they were overlooked by the Se cretary of State, and notwithstanding he was re sponsible to that House for the manner in which they were used, were unusual and extensive, and, looking to the principle of the matter, unconstitutional. They would not be justified in continuing the Commission one moment beyond the necessity, for he felt that one of the most valuable parts of the social institutions of this coun try was that habit of local self-government which had prevailed from the remotest ages. This was not his opinion only, but the opinion of many of the best and wisest men of all times." If so, a Minister who pledges himself to act upon the contrary principle in the Government of England, is like a man who deliberately swallows a dose of slow poison, or lays a train of gunpowder for his own destruction. With respect to the workhouse test; Sir James Graham justly observed on Monday, when Mr. Yorke's amend ment was under discussion, that it would be impossible to avoid the separation of husband and wife, and parent from child, while this test was maintained. But he might as soon hope to regulate the seasons by Act of Parliament as to reconcile the feelings of the people of England to this practice. Why should the deserving poor of this country be worse treated than the West India negroes ? We see no reason, as yet, to abandon the hope of obtaining from the Conservative Ministry considerable and Valuable amendments, in points of detail, which could not have been obtained from their predecessors. But, even upon this head, much that was unsatisfactory fell from• the Home Secretary in the course of his speech. He went out of his way to express his confi dence in the Poor-law Commissioners ;he claimed credit for them, as for a meritorous action, be cause they have at last begun to discontinue the scandalous evasion with which they have hitherto in sulted the Legislature in the matter of general orders ; and he represented• their amended prohibitory order, which they themselves state t o b e more restrictive than thatitir which it has been substituted, as " a most im portant relaxation." We fear Sir James Graham has a strong taint of Whiggery about hint still. He may de pend upon it that the country participates in the views expressed by Mr. Grimsditch on D londay, and that he will fail to give satisfaction if he surrenders his judg ment into the hands of functionarie s who (we shrewdly suspect) place no confidence whatever in him. " I trust," said 111 r. Grimsditch, " that in any Bill which the Right Hon. ,Baronet may bring in on this subject, he will not rely upon information which emanates from Somerset houseebut will form his opinions from the experience of others;•and from other statements." Having said thui much, we shall reserve the further expression of our opinion upon the conduct of the Go vernment with reference , to this question, till we see in next Session what they actually mean to do. In the meantime, though they have disappointed us, and though we think they have co mmitted a most serious error of judgment, we Cannot forget that upon subjects of general policy they are entitled t o our con fi dence, and"- 'dig even upon this we I nave more to hope from theca than from their adversarie ss. :ONEY MARKET s nd CITY NEWS. - - FROM THE MORNING PA] 'ERR OP THIS DAY. T nIES.-II is now ascertained that the dividend duo on - th e • lArproximo on Brazilian Stock will be paid as heretokirb ; but it was not known till a late hour of the day,, as negotiations w ere o bli ge d to ta k e p l ace between the representative of that Government and the contrac tors, before an arringemeiit, could be come to. The delay in advertising the payment of the dividend in re gular course is explained, by the parties connected with the business, as originating the dislike of the Minister here to draw bills upon Rio for the amount of dividends, when he was in daily expectation of receiving re mittances su ffi cient to a ns wer a ll purposes. Fin ding, however, that his expectations were not realised, he has, we believe, been obliged to adopt that course after all ; and it is to be regretted that he did not determine upon it earlier, instead of allowing the time to press so closely upon the day of payment, without any notification whsteser • concerning it, whereby the credit of the Brazils has been So 'severely affected, as demonstrated by the decline in the value of its Stock of three-and-a-half per cent. in one day. It is the more inexcusable, as the expedieutthe,refus e d to adopt has been on more than ono occasion resorted to. The Rnglish Stocks wore firmer to-day, the tightness of money which existed in this and the Foreign market having been relieved by the advances which the Bank Broker made on Stock at Five per Cent. ; but what was something `singular, and created gossip in the market, although it did not affect values, was the refusal made in the after-part of the day to continue to accommodate on the same termS. Attention Was drawn in. the course of the day to the ',° ll owing notice , which was posted at Ll o yd' s: — "ISCOVERY OF A STRATA OF SULPHUR AT TRIPOLI. , Office of Committee of Privy Council f or T ra de, Whitehall, Sept. 28, 1641. r , zit—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy ~1-etincil for Trade to acquaint you, for the information of the 4',..lerehants engaged in the Sulphur-Trade, that intelligence has v "a received from her Majesty's Consul at Tripoli, of the 4443 ( 1 existence in that R egency of extensive strata of sulphur of a quality. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant.

It is repeued that4the Neapolitan Government resorted to a ° ; a . l of the export duty almost in self-defence, for it Pti itself with a large stock of sulphur on its hands, while Pyrites and such substitutes, by coming into fre cliuent; use, are rapidly diminishing the value of sulphur a n tog( .ther. The opening of a new vein, entirely uncon ectei 1 with Sicily,might operate beneficially for our merchants in twoways—in the first place as a fresh source of supply-A-and in the second it might act as a frie l_ ll of bringing the King of Naples to more satisfac wry erms, even in the article.

This manoeuvre of the Bank parlour is much better considered than the half-and half project of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which had no charms fur the Hebrew party, and offered no adequate inducement to capitalists. We do not know either that there is much to be said at present against this operation by the Bank. It will no doubt be brought forward by the Directors as a strong ground at the proper season for a re newal of their charter on favourable terms. The public may lay their account with that as an in evitable consequence. The . Directors will not fail to remind the Tory Government, " that a friend in need is a friend indeed,' and that such obligations are not to be forgotten or overlooked. But as the Corn averages are falling, and the duties rising, there is no great risk of any drain from fresh importations of corn until the spring. Barring, therefore, any internal drain of specie, we see no ground for anticipating that the currency will be ex posed to fresh derangement fur some time, and this measure of relief will be extremely seasonable at present in stopping some appearances of an:unfavourable character in the west of England, regarding confidence in country , issues. SUN.—The Market for Public Securities wore rather a more buoyant appearance to-day, and there was a mode rate - business doing. Consols got up to 89 and 89* for immediate transfer, and to 89* and 89;1 for Account. Exchequer. Bills were still rather heavy at 12s. to 14s. premium; and in India Bonds there were no bargains.

Yesterday the Lord Mayor gave a grand dinner at the Mansion-house to the Lord Mayor elect, and the Sheriffs for the ensuing year. The entertainment dis played all the resources of civic hospitality, embracing every delicacy of the season. Amongst the company we observed Admiral Sir R. Stopford, Commodore Sir C: Napier, Mr. Walter Smith, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Stopford, Captain James Stopford, Mr. Arthur Stopford, Sir Alexander Johnstone, Mr. John Walter, Captain Griffin, Captain Fanshaw, Mr. William Stopford, Mr, Mitchel, Captain Bradley, Mr. Weston, Lieutenant Johnstone, Mr. Charles Johnson, Dr. Croly, Mr. John Lowden, Mr. C.lWilson, jun., Dr. Stebbing, Aldermen Sir C. S. Hunter, Brown, Lucas, Sir J. Key, Sir Peter Laurie, Sir J. Cowan, Wilson, Pirie, Thomas Wood, Hurnphery, Magnay, Gibbs, J. Johnson, Sir G. Carroll, Hooper, Sir J. Duke Farncomb, the Hon. C. E. Law, Sheriffs Magnay and Rogers, Under-Sheriffs Britten and Pritchard, Secondaries James and Potter, the City So licitor, . the City Remembrancer, the Co m pt ro ll er, the High Bailiff of Southwark, &c. The cloth having been removed, The LORD MAYOR rose to propose the first toast. He was sure they all respected, reverenced, and loved our most gracious Queen, and he had no doubt they were all true to the church. He therefore begged leave to pro pose " The Church and Queen."—(Loud cheers.) The next toast proposed by the Lord Mayor, was the " Queen Dowager Prince Albert, and the re s t o f th e Royal Family," which was drunk with three times three. The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, felt assured that the gallant exploits of the distinguished officers who were now present, and who had so recently distinguished themselves in the service of this country, and her allies, on the coast of Syria, must be fresh in the recollection of all he had the honour to address. The freedom of the city of London had recently been voted to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, Sir C. Napier, and Sir C. F. Smith, who, although now absent in the service of his country at Gibraltar, was not forgotten.— (Cheers.) He begged, without further preface, to propose " The Navy and Army, and many thanks to the Gallant Admiral, for his conspicuous and most suc cessful exertions to maintain and extend the fame of the British arms on the coast of Syria." Sir R. STOPFORD was well aware that he must ex press very inadequately the feelings he entertained upon this occasion, in having his health drunk in so distin guished a manner by his fellow-citizens now present. This was an honour of which any suLject of this realm might well be proud, and he could assure them he should always entertain the most grateful' recollection of their kindness.—(Cheers.) On his first arrival in Portsmouth he had been greeted with the most splendid entertain ment.by the inhabitants of that town, and subsequently by the officers and Royal Marines who were there present. On that occasion he was glad to mention his high ap probation of the conduct of every man and officer whom lie had the honour of having under him. He particularly mentioned the name of the Gallant Commodore near him (Sir Charles Napier), and he wished also, to mention the name of the Austrian Admiral, Ban doira, who to someconsiderable extent contributed to tfie success of his operations. He regretted he did not see preseneSir C. Smith, his colleague, who was intended to command the troops ,at the siege of Acre. His severe ill ness prevented him taking any active part at the com mencement of the operations; but when, subsequently, on his return from 'Acre to Beyrout, Ibrahim Pacha was reported within two days' march, and when Sir Charles Smith was urged to march across the mountains and at tack him in the valley near Damascus, that Gallant Of ficer saw the inutility of attacking him with but a small body of cavalry, owing to the advantage of the position which he occupied, yet his Gallant Friend nevertheless predicted that before a certain number of days Ibrahim Paella would be compelled to decamp and proceed to wards Damascus for want of food. And so the fact really turded out, so well did Sir C. Smith know the situation of Ibrahim's army.—(Cheers.) He mentioned this as a singular proof of the discrimination, professional know ledge, and distinguished ability which that Gallant Officer possessed, although he had not, unfortunately from ill health, an opportunity of signalising himself in the action. With respect to the part which he himself had acted in these affairs, he could not but consider himself one of the most fortunate men of his time in having the command at that particular period of Ms service of the gallant band who acted under him on the coast of Syria. --(Cheers.) In the course of a few weeks, he might rather say a few hours, they had brought to a sucessful issue, by the naval force of the country, an important point, which three volumes of diplomatic correspondence would scarcely have advanced towards so satisfactory an adjustment.—(Cheers.) He must say that, during the short period of these transactions, he had to struggle with some diplomatic difficulties. He had found, however, that diplomatic gentlemen, though extremely tenacious of their rights and relations, were liable to err like common men ; but although their plans were presumed to be dictated in all instances by unerring sagacity, he believed he had shown them that decided action was sometimes better than length ened, if not innumerable protocols.—(Loud cheers.) The navy had succeeded—(Cheers)—that navy which had ever been the mainstay, the sheet anchor of the country —(Cheers)--which had supported her through many struggles and difficulties—which had afforded the most ample assistance and protection to our great commercial interests, and enabled her, in short, to acquire an altitude of power, a pinnacle of wealth, hitherto unknown in any other part of the world.—(Cheers.) It was a great satisfaction to him to think that that wealth and power had been so laudably employed in supporting and main taining the most ancient an d h onoura bl e i nst i tut i ons of which any country in any age could ever boast.— (Cheers.) The honours he now bore had been given him by the Emperors of Russia, Austria, and of Prussia. He believed he was the first English naval officer who ever appeared among his fellow-citizens in Prussian decorations.—(Cheers.) The Sultan, ho understood, was preparing orders for the officers who had distinguished themselves on the cost of Syria. The Turks were certainly rather slow in their opera tions ; but he supposed those honours would come at length.—(Cheers and laughter.) But this he must say, that in consideration of the immense , quantity of arms and ammunition and other valuable materials of war, which should have been taken as prise by the cap tors, but which had hitherto remained in the hands of Turkey, some to find cfii n r on e md m tm: ao n atn e t s r h,e a sxa t i npoGedndasihlthlieaoo Gallant t. l o_ d pe b (d e received by th ose tr right h o Ht gladso e u r s v e e t d o C Colleague l he e r,would a d } I s w n e a o r w m w in s maintain the interests of the service to which he be longed. The Gallant Admiral sat down amid loud cheers. The heal:hs of Sir C. F. Smith and Commodore Na pier having been drunk, Commodore NAPIER returned thanks, briefly recapi tulating the principal events of the Syrian expedition, and warmly eulogising the many distinguished qualities of the Honourable Admiral tinder whom it was his good fortune to serve, and of all the officers and men under their command. his gallant Commander-in- Chief had thought proper to invest him, in the absence of Sir C. Smith, with the command of the allied troops on the , coast of Syria. He therefore considered it to be his duty to examine with the most earnest attention the whole position and circumstances of that difficult country; and they were enabled, without at all taking to themselves , any great praise, to accomplish with a small force the most important operations on the coast of Syria, destroying the whole power of Ibrahim Pacha and Solyman Th P e ach ih a h , a a h n it d an r t e s st o o f rin t g ha S t Syria a un t ty oritshal Law ful sovereign. uu doubtedly suffered under Egyptian sway.

He hoped that he also would see the n ecesa i ty an d propr i ety o f ga i n i ng f avo ur in the eyes of the British Government, who were so intimately connected with him, chiefly in reference to their East Indian possessions. He hoped this country would do everything in its power to encourage the Pacha in all just and proper courses, but at the same time exacting from him a due degree of kindness, attention, and fatherly love for the people who had been placed under his care. The Honourabl e and Gallant Officer then sat down amidst great applause. The LORD MAYOR then rose to propose the "Health c o o fth p eLo eh rd t ttla theyorzEealel,c e tl n " ery a g nd , paid a deservedly high compliment man Pirie. and integrity of Alder- Alderman Pirie briefly acknowledged the compliment. After the other usual toasts given at this annual dinner, The Sheriffs having returned thanks, The LORD MAYOR proposed the health of Mr. Walter and the Magistrates of the county. Mr. Walter , he said, as a Magi s t rate h ad greatly distinguished him, golf TH.Es SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, S.gPTEMIIIi A 80,_184ii. in seeking by all the means in his power to improve the condition of the poor. With respect to the conduct of the Times, circumstances had lately occurred on the. Continent which must always lay this great mercantile community under the deepest obligations to the proprie tors of that Paper.—(Cheers.) Mr. WALTER returned thanks. The distinguished company did not separate till a late hour. • , • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER MEETING. (Further particulars of Tuesday's races.) The Grand Duke ➢iichael Stakes.—Oakley made the first running, followed by Abydos and Potentia to the T.Y.C. post, where John o'Gaunt went in front, and with the mare in attendance, carried the running nearly into the bottom ; the mare then went nut, headed him with out difficulty by a length and a half; Eringo a bad third. The Duke of Bedford, who started two, declared to win with the best. Hopeful.—At the second start all got off well, except Eusebia, who was crossed just as she was leaving the post, and lost too much ground to have any chance or the race. Ca Ira wcnt away in front, and, with Proof Print and the' Clearwell filly, laid up, made play to the bushes ; here they were headed by the Rosalie colt, who made the rest of the running, and won cleverly by a length. Eusebia came up at the cords, and beat the Plenipo Mt rather cleverly, for the second place. Of the two matches and the Buckenhani Stakes it is only neceesary to say that the winner of each made .the running, and never gave his opponent a chance ; both Gibraltar and Pathfinder pulled up lame. In returning into the town from the heath a horse run away with a four-wheel chaise, narrowly missed Lord Albemarle's carriage, and came with great violence against a post near the White •Hart'; the driver, Mr. eonnop's training groom, and a female, were thrown out, but escaped with scarcely any injury. The vehicle was smashed to pieces.

After the Jury had been sworn, The CORONER said, he thought it right to mention that the inquest was called under somewhat peculiar cir cumstances, it being, in fact, occasioned by an anonymous letter, dated the 18th of September, and sent to him at Lewes by post. The letter, although anonymous, was written in so proper a style that he had felt it to be his duty to send it to the Brighton officers; and Mr. Solomon, the chief officer, made the necessary inquiries. lie (the Coroner) afterwards called on Mr. Philpott, the medical gentleman who attended the deceased, and took his depo sition, from which it appeared clear that the deceased had cc : el died an Coroner) nne gern ts)ojahereeors unnatural, fetrutaph t ioeen medical;t n .' consulted a v and a lt ph profession o i u o fgse l e e hsys n eii t ort , nawl,daaesnaadthian. gentlemen, o hs it H gh e iy ( t ii h nn unplea sant thing to exhume a body, he had felt it necessary that this should be done, and that an inquest should be held on the remains.

A Report of the PoltceiCommittee was brought up recommending that.the sum of 5004 should be the salary to be allowed to the party , who might be appointed keeper of the Giltspur-street:Compter. Some. of the members, amongst whom were -Aldermen Sir Peter Laurie and Sir James Doke, were Of opinion that 4004 a:year would be 9dite sufficient remuneration. to the keeper of that prison, but eventually the Report was agreed to, and it was regulated. that the election of a keeper should take place at the next Court day, and that notice to that effect should be entered in the summons or paper of business. NON• ATTENDANCE OF ALDERMEN IN THE COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. The attention of the Court was then called to the old subject of the non-attendance of Aldermen in thp Court of Common Council, by reason...of which, the latter Court. was frequently broken up f -to the great impediment of public business. It was - it reference, from the Court of Common Council to the Court of Aldermen, requesting that the Aldermen would devise some means by which the evil complained of might be obviatecL • ' Alderman Ginns, who is remarkable for bringing for ward questions in a tangible shape,, and without any verbal mystification, rose. and moved that the Visiting Magistrates of th e pr i sons fo r each month should attend the Courts of Common Council held within the period of their visitation.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman HUMPHERY thought that a fine ought to be inflicted.for non-attendance. Alderman FA.REBROTHER said that the Aldermen had heavy duties to perform. The Court of Common Coun cil certainly ought not to be. subjected,to,the serious in terruption to business of which they complained, but he submitted that the arrangement to remedy..the .evil ought to be made amongst the Aldermen. themselves. Alderman GIBBS intimated that he should perseyere in his motion. Alderman HUMPIIERY did not know what good the, motion could effect. . , Alderman GIBBS—You riitsee" that ley and by. I think there is such a thins as shaming people into the proper performance of their duty. Sir J.

(Frorn.the Manchester Guardian)._ . - Monday being the day fixed for the public entree of the Chartist leaders into Manchester, their followers began to assemble at an early hour in Stevenson's square, the appointed place of rendezvous. Notwith standing the efforts of the Chartist agents (which were very great) to collect the scattered remnants of their forces from the surrounding districts, the paucity of their numbers at midday was so remarkable that it was confidentlyasserted by some that there would be no pro cession, and bets were even laid that the great Feargus would not show himself on the occasion. .About half-past twelve, however, several bodies of men from the country, together with some benefit societies, arrived in the square, bearing flags and banners, and accompanied by amateur bands ; and, at about half-past one, the whole assemblage, to the number of two or three thousand persons, with several bands of music, and an immense number of banners and flags of various forma and sizes, were formed into a procession under the auspices of two " Marshals" on horseback, who rode backward and forward to superintend the array. Amongst, the banners in the procession were portraits, or paintings alleged to be portraits, of the great Feargus, Bronterre O'Brien, Benbow, hunt, and a number of other worthies of the same stamp; and a child, not more than two years of age, called " The young patriot," was carr i e d in the: procession, not like the other patriots, in portraits, but in person, surrounded by garlands of flowers, and his name given as follows, in conspicuous characters, " Feargus O'Connor Frost O'Brien M*Douall Hunt Taylor," The young patriot did not, however, enjoy the distinction forced upon him, and the restraint which it involved, for he cried bitterly, and seemed to feel as much impatience as if he had read and understood the motto on one of the banners near him, namely, "Patience under undeserved suffering is a crime;" and seemed already a martyr in the cause. As the motley group moved on, .they re ceived constant accessions of old-women (some of whoni, had pipes in their mouths) and children, and the public houses gave large contributions of their victims to swell the . ranks of the patriots, so that by the time they reached their destination they could not be less than four or five thousand in number. Their route from the square lay through Oldham -street, Swan-street, Shude . bilk Old Mitigate, Deansgate, Bridge-street, Chapel street, ,Salford, Crescent, and on to Cross-lasso, 'where they met Feargua O'Connor, W. Besibow, and the . Rev. W. V. jackson, Seated in a tiarouehe; drawn by six horses. Feargus • was dressed in a fustian jacket and trowsers, in order that he might appear as much as possible to be a " man of the peo ple." After the cheering, usual on such occasions. had been completed, and Feargus had shaken hands with, and given th e cea dh m il e a fu ilte to some two or three dozen of his fellow-countssymen, the proCessiOn returned to Man Chester, went up" Market-street and. on toArd "wick-green, from whence it returned by Ancoats-street to Stevenson's-square, where it arrived shortly after five o'clock, At this time the square and all the approaches thereto were densely filled ; the roofs of the houses, the windoWs, and every available resting place from which a view could be obtained, not even excepting the . lamp-posts, were occupied with spectators. The patriots were welcomed by a cheer, which was certainly loud, though not prolonged; and, considering the numbers present, might be regarded as a rather faint expression of popular feeling. However, the vastness of the assemblage, mostly drawn thither by curiosity, and not at all identified with the proceedings, was re garded by the speakers as a "glorious demonstration " in favour of Chartism. Feargus O'Connor first addressed the meeting, in a remarkably temperate speech, in which he deprecated physical force ; and insisted, that it was by moral means alone the Chartists should seek the attain ment of their objects. " If," said he, " I should advise you to join me in physical aggression, or secret associa tions, then say, Feargus O'Connor is going to sell us.' The moment I have political secrets with any man— the moment I would n attempt to turn you from your own righteous, onward course, then say, `Feargus O'Connor is going to make merchandise of us.' He would not trust to Tory clemency—if ' they were prepared to give Sir Robert Peel a fair trial, he (Feargus O'Connor) was not: He would not trust the politician who was nursed in Toryism while Secretary for Ireland. Tory clemency depended .on Chartist strength. What Chartists allowed the Tories to do they would do, and 'what they were not allowed to do, they Would leave un done. Re believed the Whigs would soon • jvits. the Chartists, for! lie sake of being restored tp place•and))ower. He was opposed to the introduction of foreign corn as long as there was any-lanchmcultivated in England and Ireland. He intended to'Visit Leeds and Sheffield; and, after that, lie hoped Dr. Cooke would invite him to Belfast to discuss the question of repeal." He then announced that B. O'Brien, who was unavoidably absent, was going to start a Chartist newspaper, and hoped the Chartists would support it. Mr. Benbow, the Rev. W. V. Jackson, and the Rev. Mi. Schofield, afterwards addressed a few observations to the meeting, and a resolution of confidence in Feargus O'Connor, as a leader, was adopted. The meeting quietly dispersed about six o'clock, a n d no disturbance of any , kind occurred during the day. The Chartists had a tea party in the Hall of Science; in the evening ; but, we understand, nothing occurre d t h ere worthy of notice, lethiilsssistant Commis sionerSAVlNGS' BANKS. ,- • TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. , • SiSits ---Your notice' of sir Robert .

You are, of course, aware that June, when, acc or di ng to Sir Ro bertsb' statement,. the funds wer e d rawn of t, is the month (Whitsintide the time) .when annual clubs wind - up and divide their funds among the s urv i v i ng members ; a small sum only being retained in the trea surer's hands. These clubs are reformed, and the sub-. scriptions of the ensuing month swell the •p aynmts in those months. •New clubs are also probably formed at the same period : - , . • SAVINGS' BANKS.—Tho result of my inquiries money,qvitiriescon cerning the deposits in these banks is, that veryfe ta w . weavers have placed money in them. I cannot, however, f i o n r fe r r e f as ro o m os t w hi h s ie a h ll v e il t i ha n t pp t c h li e r y have the avenot following q uo tion :—" Work-people do netlike putting money in the savings' banks because their masters and other persons can then know what they are possessed of. C onverses a good deal with his work-people, and a scertains that this feeling exists among them. " ' In anoth er place I find, " The depositors are generally domestic servants or treasurers of benefit clubs. Labourers of any descrip tion are not numerous." There . are a few weavers who have mowneeynienedthneoset vents aro de • .... 'banks to a small amount, but some of them ar e pro b ably in the c ase o f one alluded. to in the f o ll owing evide nce : "Ther e i s on e weaver who has mone7 in th e sav i ngs ' b h e a n k sn , r b p u r t i s h o e d h t a o d p fi r n o d pe t r i t i y a t le d f o t nl t e o s t i h o im s . e r positors in these banks ; they have,always sufficient to satisfy the cravings of hunger ; .... they live in comfortably warmed apartments, and have only the gratification of their vanity in dress, which many have, no opportunity even of displaying, to contend with. aslor need we be much astonished at finding, on the other hand, that the labourer, whose wages are rarely more tt-nn sufficient to satisfy the cravings of hunger, even with the cheapest description of food, to' find fuel to cook it, and garments, however homely, or blankets to, ward off the piercing • . winter cold, should fail in resolution to forego even one half loaf a week, or one coarse blanket, in order to lay by a scanty provision for the future. Those few who from their situation as foremen or from other fortunate circumstances, or from possesiing superior skill, talent, or education, are above the general mass, and are enabled to put aside a portion of their earnings, generally prekr buying houses or gardens, or lending it at a greater in terest:than savings' banks pay. The following' extracts from the' evidence will Corroborate this view of the case .: " One man and his wife; who earned last year 17s. - 6tl: . per week between them; and had one child (a girl) als,i emplopid, have saved enough money to buy a house." _ " Their son has also bought a house; witli money Saved in our employ as weaver and starcher." At Chard, a manufacturer of broad-cloth states that some of his weavers have been able to" save money, and have houses of their own." This desire of possessing- a hoUse extends so far as, in some instances where they have not saved sufficient for the purpose, to indnce them to borrow money on mort gage of the property at 5 per cent. interest, which, fre quently makes . their annual payment greater than the rent or a similar house would be. The members of the benefit clubs whose money is de posited in these banks, are generally small shopkeepers or mechanics, such as carpenters, &c. The manufactur ing labourers have their benefit clubs usually among themselves ; the treasurer is frequently their employer, and tile money is not placed in the savings' bank. * Annual clubs or benefit societies are numerous. REVIEW AT COMPIEGNE. At Compiegne, on Sunday, the King reviewed the troops of the camp on the plaine de Marigny. His Ma. jesty, attended by the Dukes of Orleans, d'Aumale, and Montpensier, Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and his son, Marshals • Soult and. Molitor, the Minister of Marine, several general officers, and his aides-de camp, proceeded to the field, where he was received by the Duke de Nemours as Commander-in-Chief. All the diplomatists, whose arrival at the palace on Saturday we have announced, with many other foreigners of distinction, were in the suite: The Queen and all the Princesses followed the King in an open calesh. His Majesty passed along the whole of the lines, being everywhere hailed with loyal acclamations. He then proceeded to an elevated mound, on which were" planted the standards and colours to be distributed. The regi ments of each division were formed in close columns, by platoons, having -at their fronts the respective deputa tions appointed to receive the colours. The King having taken a prominent station in front, the Duke de Nemours came to receive his Majesty's orders, and the drums beat. Marshal Soult, Minister of War, then addressed the troops in these terms : " Officers,. 'non-commissioned officers, and soldiers ! .You swear fidelity to the King of the French, obedience to the constitutional charter and the_ laws of the king dom. Swear!"—(" We swear.") " You swear to defend in all times and placei the colours and standards which the King confides to you ; to rally round them under all circumstances, and defend them with honour and tlevo tiOn, to die rather than to suffer them to fall into the hands of the enemies of the King and of France. Swear!" Upon this the cries of "We swear," were repeated With enthusiasm. The marshal then called forward each regiment that was to receive colours, in theorder of their numbers,—viz., 22d. 23d, 24th, and 25th light infantry; the 68th, 69th, 70th, 71st, 72d, 73d, 74th, and 75th of the line ; 7th, Bth, and 9th of hussars; and the 13th chasseurs. The colonels of each regiment received the colours from the hands of the King, presented to his Majesty by Marshal Soult. This ceremony being con cluded, the King delivered the following address:— My dear Comrades—l regret that my voice cannot be heard by you to-day in the usual way ; but if my power of speech is weakened, the sentiments which I have to manifest to you are not. I was anxious to present to! you with my own hand these colours and standards, the glorious records of your predecessors, and which will teach you what you have to do in order to render yourselves worthy of succeeding them in the same career, and responding to the confidence of the country and my own. It is unnecessary that I should re mind you that your first duty is to uphold the honour of the French name and that of the colours which I confide to your valour and patriotism. We are now in the en : joytnent of the blessings of peace, and in order that we may have confidence in their duration, we must more than • ever direct our efforts towards maintaining our country , in the glorious situation in which Providence has placed , it. You would do this in war, if France should ever be under the necessity of resorting to it ; and you will do the same in the bosom of peace, by your devotion to the institutions which govern the nation. It is in this way that you have so efficaciously assisted in pre serving your country from the evils of anarchy and the disastrous consequences which result from it. You will continue to keep them far distant from us, by never deviating from the course which you have followed with honourable perseverance. Yes, my dear commies, it is hy remaining faithful to discipline, to our institutions, and to our constitutional monarchy, which guarantees the right and the security .of all, that you will show yourselves worthy of the glorious name of French sol diers, and that the prosperity and greatness of France will be placed upon a firm basis. lam happy in finding myself in the midst of you, in speaking of my old affec tion for you, of that aff ec ti on w hi c h d ates f rom t h e t i me now long gone by, when I fought in your ranks, and in repeating to you that' am proud of being the chief of so fine; an army-- , -of an army so worthy of France and of him who has the good fortune to command it" • This address, , ,at its conclusion, drew forth a. repeti tion of cries of r" , .Vive. le Boit" followed , by, a salvo of artillery. The _Duke de Nemours then ordered the drums to salute the colours, and the deputations bore them to their respective corps, the Colonels causing ,their regiments to repeat the oaths they had just taken in their names. This was done with renewed acclanaa tionsnff " Vive le .Roi !" The troops were afterwards formed' into columns, and filed off before the .King, the infantry by battalions, a n d . th e cav a l r y b y squad rons; rons; with a steadiness and precision which did high honour to the Duke de Nemours, excited general admi ration, and drew from., the King repeated expressions to his Royal Highness .of his entire approbation, as well as congratulations from the Duke. of Orleans, and the • Marshal Minister of 'War. This fine and interesting scene was concluded at four o'clock. The spectators were, innumerable, and at every point the hing and Royal Family were greeted with the warmest acclaim- tions In the course of the day the Pope's Internuncio and the Count and Countess Mole arrived as visitors , at the palace. The King gave a grand banquet in the Salle de Diane, to which the chiefs of all the corps were in vited. ,At eight in the evening there was a grand dis play of fire-works in front of the palace, given by the town of Compiegne. BLAKESLEY THE MURDERER. The following is 0. correct copy of the letter addressed by the wretched man to his wife after he reached Newgate "My dear:wife—For still I shall consider you to the last hour of my life, although you might have prevented the awful,termination of all our happiness, by consenting to what (I, consider) a request I as your husband had a right to make (I mean that money); but I forgive you, as I well know that you were over-persuaded against me by others..

' The death of this eminent botanist, and excellent man, will be regretted throughout the civilized world. He was ' a native, we believe, of Geneva, where he had resided for the last quarter of a century, and formed always an object of attraction among the intellectual society of that ' quiet and delightful city. M. do Candolle's earliest literary labour was in 1813, when he produced his " Elementary Theory of Botany," in an octavo volume, at Montpelier ; and which appeared, in 1819 in a second edition; at Paris. In this work the erudite author laid down the special and fundamental principles of this science, which after a lapse of some years has never been contradicted, and which, for its worth, was in the succeeding year translated into German, and laboriously enriched with notes, by Cl. Rmmer, of Zurich. His most elaborate work, in which he arranges and classifies the whole vegetable kingdom, was published by him when he was resident in Geneva, about the close of October, 1816. It is . written in Lath), and entitled " Regal Vegetabilis Systema Naturale," and was sub sequently, in 1838, given, in 'a Parisian edition, to the world by Treuttel and Wurtz. •If M. de Candolle had any reason to be proud of his literary labours, it was assuredly in this instance. Ac cording to his catalogue of the botannic books consulted by him towards the formation of these volumes, whose faithful minuteness of detail and accuracy make them in estimable guides, no fewer than three thousand volumes passed under his observation. But these were not all ; for on looking into his book we find appended a note, observing, " Auctores aut libri in hac enumerations non designati, inquirendi suet, si vetustiores, in Halleri Bib recentiores in Banksii Biblioth," &c. &c, ; so that near upon four thousand tomes pour the rich stream of their contents into his " Systema Naturale." Those alone who know by actual sight what M. d e Candolle's Herbarium is in reality, can speak as to its completeness and magnificence. From all parts, and from the first men—from the plants of Europe, as well as from the exotics of the tropical and new worlds—M. de Candolle's shelves and cases wero lavishly furnished. I)esfontaines had contributed many of the specimens of Atlantic plants; Delille and Coquebert-Montbret . the Egyptian plants ; while those of Mogadorc and tho Ca naries were furnished by Broussonnet ; those of Madeira by Christopher Smith, our countryman ; the Australian specimens were contributed by Labillardiere and Brown; the American by Bose and Lagasca ; the Siberian and Russian by Fischer ; the Hungarian by Kitaibel ; those of the India, Japanese, and Chinese regions, by Delos sert and Lambert ' • to which sumptuous lis t were also to be added species of all kinds from Thibaud, and of the great botanists•Cavanilles, Nee, Ruiz, and Pavon, who had made vast collections of Spanish plants in their tra vels through that , country, together with Caribbean spe cimens from. Swartz and Yadir ; American by Fraser and Michaux ; and African, collected by Smeathman and Bruguiere. • • Such was the extent of this magnificent Herbarium as 'supplied by his foreign friends, in addition to the access • which he had to every botanical garden atd museum in his own country. When in London, also, be revelled •among the rich treasures thrown open to him by the late Sir JOseph Banks, which contains, as all scientific men are aware, the noblest foreign plants in existence. To J. E. Smith, Esq., the author of the " Flora Britannica," he was accustomed to confess himself under peculiar obliga tion, and never mentioned that gentleman's " Herbarium Linnmanum" without a feeling of professional delight. W. H. Hooker, Esq., D. 'Turner, Esq., as well as Messrs. Sims, Ker, Aiton, J. Walker, and Lee, were among a few of the most prominent scientific gentlemen who were proud to correspond with him, and enrich him with their own valuable memoranda. M. de Candolle's last elaborate and learned work on " Vegetable Organography" is too well known to the scientific world to need further mention of it here, and Mr. Benjamin Kingdons has given it, by translation, that 'standing among our botanic text-books which its intrin sic worth and authority demands. The whole learned world appears to have courted the name of M. de Candolle. At Geneva, where he deli vered the chief part of his lectures, he was Member of the Sovereign Council, Director of the Botanic Garden, Honorary Professor .of Natural History, and President of the Society of Arts of that city. St. Petersburgh was not behind hand in claiming him as her son, and in vested him with the title of Member of the Imperial .Academy of Sciences in that city. Paris, Stockholm, !Turin, Munich, Haerlem, Nap:es, and Brussels, severally owned him as a Member of their Royal Academics. The Royal Societies of London, Edinburgh, and Copenhagen, as well as the Linniean and Horticultural Societies, equally claimed him in their muster-rolls of talent. In addition to these he bore the honorary title of Knight Commander of the Legion of Honour. This is one of those deaths which leave a large gap in the world, and one which is not easily filled up. As far only as the narrow limits of this article allow us to see, the several Societies, with the crowds of literati which belong to each, are but a small portion of the great throng who will lament his loss and venerate his memory. THE LATE M. LAPORTE. The death of M. Laporte, who was known so widely to the world as the able manager for nearly twelve years Of the Italian Opera, and by every one regarded also in the'personal light of a very excellent actor, is certified by letters from Corbeil, near Paris, where he died on Saturday last, of apoplexy. M. Jean-Francois Laporte was the son of a French comedian, whose I:tar/Nein was in much request at the Paris theatres; . his mother was also an actress in the same capitaL He first came, to London with a French company upon a theatrical speculation, namely, the first starting of a French, 'Theatre in this country, and which, at its appearance, was much patronized by the fashionable world at large. These performances were then given in the little theatre in Tottenham-street, which bus since been under the lessecship of Madame Vestris, and now known as the Queen's Theatre. The circumstance of French plays in England being a novelty, most of the exclusives and travelled of the day brought these per formances into reputation. and they were chiefly sup purled by the talents of M. Laporte himself, who was very happy as a comic actor. Possessing quick parts, M. Laporte soon obtained a very, competent knowledge of English, and appeared, if we remember rightly, upon the boards of ])rury itself, acting English characters with much judgment. From this time his success was great, and he made himself master of many hundreds by engagements and benefits at various theatres, which gradually accumulated more and more as he himself was parsimonious in his ways of living. IL Laporte now became a person of con sequence among the frequenters of the theatres, and was the admired, if not admirable representative, of the best comic creations of Moliere. His fame was co-equally divided with Dowton and Farren, Potier and Perlet. At length, in 1828,. Ebers, who had long been a re spectable and active manager of the Italian Opera, and who, though unsuccessful, had carried it on with spirit, resigned, and immediately there was a keen canvass for the hire of, the theatre from year to year. Among the competitors were Laurent, a Frenchman, a most dashing speculator,., who had already the English theatre in Paris, a theatre in Brussels, and branches of theatres on other parts of the Continent. Another was Price, the manager at once-Of Drury lane and another theatre at New York. Besides these, there were so many other candidates for the Opera House, that a certain Duke,, not over-encumbered with wealth ; declared his profound astonishment that there was so much money on earth to be disposed of in scenery and singing.. , .... . . , . . . On this o c c a s ion La p orte was the highest bidder, and having become lessee of the Opera, for four seasons con tinued to conduct it so as to make money. During his administration it must be confessed that we had an op portunity of hearing the best singers in the world ; and we are indebted to him for the best specimens of dancing and instrumental music, in the persons of Taglioni and Paganini. He assembled for a series of seasons within the walls of the King's Theatre the best company in Europe. As a pleasant memento of the past, and a useful refe rence hereafter, the following comparative statement of the principal performers who appeared during M. La porte's management, will serve as a curious record of the rich treats which he turnished,we may say, to the world:- 1828. 1829. 1830. 1831. • Oreaa, OPERA. OPERA. OER P•. 1/'omen. ' :" 'Women. .

Having, ,at the close.of the season in 1831, realised a good sum, M. Laporte resigned the managership of the Italian Opera ; and left it. to enjoy the fruits of his suc cess on. the Continent. In that year Mr, Alonck Mason became lessee, at the enormous rent of 16,000 L, but his speculations proved unsuccessful. In the :ensuigg.year Lap or t e aga i n took the house, and has, up t o the, present time, been its faithful manager. The history of this aristocratic place of amusement since that period is still fresh in the memory of the public ; and it is therefore, needless to say more than that he was perhaps the best manager of the Italian Opera that has appeared, a man of great activity and perseverance, and, we believe, of high integrity and honour. his death will be greatly lamented. Perhaps no man was so generally known by the great singers, musicians, and actors of the present day. A MAN KILLED BY HIS OWN B UL L.—On Monday morning last, Mr. Samuel Gething, aged 67, of English Bieknor, went into a turnip field, for the purpose of driving a bull back into the pasture from which it had strayed, when the vicious animal turned upon him, knocked him down, tossed him with his horns several times in the air, and trampled him when he lay on the ground. Mr. Gething's son, %he I%as • at , work ia an adjoining field, ran, in company with another man, to , his fat her's assistance, and drove the bull away, ,when it vrpa found that the poor old man was most fright fully mangled, and insbreast-bone and ribs were completely smashed. He survived about an hour, when death put an end to his sufferings. '''An inquest was held on the body, before John Cook, Esq.; and a verdict returned in conformity with the evidence. Some of the jurymen expressed a desire that the ball should be destroyed, but the Coroner stated he had no power to make any order to that effect.

The u,n - . article that can oe said to excite curiosity in ti ro slightest degree, is the one on "The Old and New ""' rsiciAi Ministries ; and even this — notwithstandin g the gfla nature of the theme, which is sufficiently piquant under existing circumstances—will please none but the most purblind Tory reader, tbr it is written without point and without vigour —is as shallow in argument, as it is wordy and wire-draw n in manner; and abounds in Italicized phrases and expressions, as if the Reviewer were conscious that, without such helps, we should never dis cover that there was anything worthy of notice in them. Sir Robert Peel is, of course, praised to the skies, particularly as a " wise man, and an honest man," two qualiticatious which we have yet to find in hint—Ulll42SS, in deed, cunning be synonymous with wisdom, and • vacillation with honesty. " Buckingham and Coombe on the United States" is a notice of two bulky works that have recently appeared on this most hackneyed of all hacknied subjects. It is a tame and heavy affair, with the exception of the passing hit at Mr. Coombe's phrenological system, which is fair game enough, tor phrenology is but one of the myriad buns at which. that Proteus,..

Hallia latest volumes of travels, which, though published but six months since, are already forgotten. , We know not whether the gallant author will be most pleased or displeased with this review, for tint gall is mixed up with the honey in nearly equal portions. If the critic pats Tim eucouragingly on the back in one sentence, in the next he layti on the cat with all the zeal of Lord Cardigtai drummers. But the lash is not undeserved, for Captain Hall, though f r e quent l y a lively, enter taining writer, is apt, fur whole pages together, to degenerate into a 'mere twaddler; and, in stead of a manly inquisitiveness as to matters worthy of a traveller's attention, exhibits far too much of Jemmy Boswell's paltry, re itless curiosity respecting the veriest trifles. t ketches of the Irish Peasantry" is the best; as t is the most instructive, paper in the Numbtr. The spirit that pervades it is temperate and toierant ; though, as might be expected, a disposition is shown toattribute thesulterings of Ireland many but their real cause, mis-government. Let the Reviewer blink this part of the question us he may, it is notorious that halt the pre sent ills that distract the Sister- country are to be referred to the long misrule of Toryism. In " Elphinstone's History of In dia," some interesting details are . given of the •- rise and progress of Budhisin in the East—a gieme which the late Mr. Upham has treated "with signal ability. The Reviewer also gives a brief cursory sketch of the famous Sultan Akber, but we had rather that he had dis pensed with a notice of this well-known Monarch, and furnished us, instead, with some particulars of his successor, Jehangueir, who if not so re nowned, was a far more curious, chdractor—a whimsical compound of bigotry and toleration— of shrewdness and ineptitude —courage and cowardice —cruelty and benevolence. It was the boast of this odd-natured despot, when half= drunk at night—fur he was an inordinate • toper- -that he equally respected the character of our Saviour and Mathomet, because they both equally declaimed against the odious • vice of intoxication ! 'For want of some more entertain ing extract, we quote the Reviewer's remarks on the rise of the Mogul empire : With the house of Timour, as we have said, com mences the magnificent period of Mahometen dominion, that which awakens our interest. and offers splendid pictures for historical composition, and characters which command attention, as of far higher order than the tur- • baned warriors who headed their fi erce h or d es i n a deso lating %lat. of conquest, wal hewed their way to empiee with the cimitar. Baber is the first sovereign of Maho metan India who arrests us by thn! simple grandeur of his character, the perfect picture of the lite of vicissitude, of adventure, and enterprise, by which Men rise in the East to power,—one day a magnificent king at the head of a mighty army, the next a solitary fugitive in the, desert, but gradually forcing his way to become the founder of a splendid dynasty. But the grandeur of this whole race, and the magnificence of the sovereigns of Delhi, culminate in Akber. Though perhapt the . arts, especially architecture, reached, a, higher de g ree of sumptuousness and s kill un d er hi s son Shalt Jehan, on the whole, Akber concenters the f u ll - g l ory of the dynasty. It is a most -tempting subject for reflection— now that European influence is spreading throughout India, modifying alike by its social peculiarities both the stern and inflexible Brahminism . of the Indian; and the less artificial, but not more pliant, Islamism of the Ilus sulman; now that the lineal deseendant of Timour, of • Baber, of Akber, of Shah Jelian, and of ,Aurng,zib, has long been an idle pageant in the hands of a company of English merchants—to contrast the state of India under Akber with the character of the contemporary sove reigns of Europe. OSSIAIV'S GENUINE REMAINS. Smith, Elder, and Co., London, 1841. • For this curious volume, which contains'a pre liminary di s s ertat i on f rom t h e pen of Mr. Patrick Macgregor, we. are indebted to the Society of London, under whose express pa tronage it has been brought out. It is 'a 'collec tion of the genuine remains of Ossian, " less' Ihulty"—as we are assured in the ,Preface— " than the version of Macpherson, who; while he professes to translate literally, omits and 'adds whole lines,. and alters at pleasure. Not only was he often misled by his hurry and his igno rance of the idiont t kitt he very frequently de. parted from the senseufthe original, with a.viewr either to improve the style, or to obviate antici pated objections, and sometimes to gratify his own prejudices." We believe there is little doubt now that Macpherson's " Ossian" was any= thing but a genuine work ; even Sir Walter Scott gave it up as such ; and, if we are not Mis taken, Allan Cunningham has borne testimony to the same effect; nevertheless, spurionS though it may be, it will long continue to interest young 'and imaginative renders, for there is a fascina tion in its wild imagery, a splendour and, vigour in many of its descriptions, and a deep pathos.in not a few of its sentiments, that can never fail to awaken -interest at a period of life when the feelings exercise a more • powerful sw a y than the judgment.
