It is with deep regret that the Wizard puts forth the above announcement, but as preparations are about to be made on an octonsive @cale for the opening of the Adelphi Theatre for its Theatrical Season, the Wizard is compelled prematurely to Ilisish his season of wonderment ; therefore those who wish to see the Wiaiied and his mighty doings, must not new " stand on the order of &ekig," but "go at once." During the con anding twelve inglEs the Wizard will display all his peculiar powers, mortal and superhuman, which are without parallel in Esis or way other country.

AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. intnutes after CI. Evening 43 minutes after G. scinty, finds them without any surplus to fall back on, and reduces them, as at present, to a state of almost desperate famine. No supplies can it get from any other country dependent on it to take the corn which that country grows, and therefore is it compelled to go a begging and offer a large sum in gold to those who are in nowise dependent on it for the means of saving its under-fed and ill-supplied population from all the horrors of an Hindostan famine. The Corn laws, far from enlarging the sphere of the na tional freedom, imposes on it an arbitrary- and narrow restriction; as if the lawgiver should de cree, because his subjects cannot fly like birds, neither shall they walk like animals. Of the Government,—using that term in its largest sense, as including both the Legislative and Executive powers,—because it burdens both with the onerous duty of providing for the nou rishment of the people. Hence the destitute men of Wrexham justly and properly appealed to the Magistrates to find them food. Surely they have a better right to be fed than the landowner has to receive rent, which must come from their la- bour, and which the law is passed to provide. They have a better right to be fed than the par son has to his tithes, which are the produce of their toil. Hence, too, the Chartists have pro perly and justly demanded a thorough revision of the Constitution, because they do not get well paid. Their right to make such a demand arises from an interference with their food and indus try, so that the Corn-law narrows and limits the freedom of the Legislature, and compels it to do many things it might otherwise abstain from doing. Threatened as it now is by the opposition of a half-starved people, what liberty of ac tion has it either in respect to them or in respect to foreign nations? What could it do were the Americans to hang M‘LEop, and half the people demanding repeal or a republic? What can it do but devote its attention, and tremble while it devotes it, to the commercial distress and the state of the harvest? A few days more cold weather—an angry storm—would leave it no option, but compel it to abrogate its own laws, or involve the nation in a bloody con vulsion. Even a lowering cloud makes the Members of the Legislature and the Executive Government tremble. All that dependence is the consequence of the Corn-laws, for if there were no such laws the Legislature and the Executive would say— " Storms are the breath of GOD, he gives or he withholds as it seems good to him an abund ance to the earth ; and we, like you, suffer from his dispensations." But now they cannot say so, for the want of food, at which the people repine, and for which alone they look with anxiety to the weather, is caused by the law, and the dearth which pinches them en riches the law-maker. He takes on himself, as we have repeatedly observed, the awful respon sibility of providing for the subsistence of the people; and under that responsibility, at this moment, the Prime Minister-expectant totters with fear and dread, and to no other subject b u t _ _ _ _ that one can the Legislature attend. If this be not sad and sorry dependence language has no meaning; and this dependence, of the nation on other nations, and of the Government on the people it pretends to rule, is caused by the law which is defended by the Tories, because it makes the nation independent. One of the results of the Census, already well ascertained, is a deterioration of the condition of our people. Badly off as are the manufacturing population, the agricultural population in most of the southern and western counties is worse off; but lower than them there is a lower depth oc cupied by the Irish peasantry, who flock over to England and Scotland, and beat down the popu lation of Great Britain to their level. It is stated of Glasgow, of Paisley, and of Manchester, that the people are now worse lodged than they were ten years ago. The influx of Irish into those towns has had a disastrous effect on the condition of the English and Scotch. Is this a just retri bution? Let us see. What places the Irish in so low a condition, economically speaking? The appropriation of the land amongst a comparatively small body of Protestant landowners, who have no sympathy or friendly connection with the bulk of the people. The further appropriation of the tithes to a priesthood who do not teach the people, and who have as little sympathy with them as the landowners. Poor and degraded, without any possible means of bettering their condition, the bulk of the Irish peasantry cling with an at tachment almost unexampled to the priesthood of their own faith and their fathers' faith. Re duced to a state of compulsory slavery by the Protestant landlords and the Protestant priest hood 4 they have submitted to a species of volun tary slavery to their own priesthood, and are doubly enthralled. Certainly, the lumper-fed Irish, the two millions of paupers mentioned by Mr. O'CoNNELL, are economically, if not morally —for their warm-hearted affections have kept them from being utterly debased--the most de graded people of civilized Europe. But it is clear that the few tyrant landowners and the usurping priesthood could not have in flicted, and could not now inflict, this sad de gradation on the Irish, were they not supported by the people of Great Britain. In fact, it is their power which maintains the compulsory slavery of the Irish, and is the parent of their voluntary slavery. Now, however, they are degrading our population to their level, and thus are the people of Great Britain justly punished for their conduct towards Ireland. At present the course of the retribution is plain. The English and Scotch enable the Pro testant landlords of Ireland to clear their estates, and the people, whom the landlords by their aid thrust off the land, come hither to swell the mass of our own poverty. We incite the cupi dity of those landlords, by giving them an ex clusive possession of our markets for grain. We tax our people's bread to enhance the Irish land lords' rent ; to obtain as much of that enhance ment as 'possible, they try to consolidate farms, and to produce as large a net surplus as possible. On the one band, the price of the people's bread is raised by the landlords' tax, and, on the other, the wages of their labour is beat down by the competition of the expatriated Irish, whom the said landlords have excluded from their estates, to get as large a share as possible of the tax. The support, therefore, which the people of Great Britain give to the oppressions of the Irish landlords—the sanction they give, by their un resisting passiveness, to the Bread-tax, do now much contribute to produce that poverty and distress of which our people complain. They s uffer by their own fault, and it may be doubted whether either individuals or nations suffer, in u richly pho ld d t e h s e e rvi oppres sion g majority of cases, without the T he p o e f o t p h l e e o l f ri G sh r , ea fi t ie ß y ritai n tolerate the C orn -laws, have their reward in deterioratio n and danecday.they. Bow-street law wi ll soon b ecome as notori ous as Jedburgh justice, or Justices' justice. Th e case of Mr. W IGHT MAN, reported in our p a p er on Saturday, to which a Correspondent has very properly called public attention, is an illustration of this. A policeman assumes an authority to drag a respectable citizen off to a station-hou se , and, because he objects to go, he is fined ss, That is Bow-street law. The police, like other servants whom we hire and appoint to protect us, are becoming our masters; and the Magistrates, who should check their usurpations, compel us to submit, by fine or imprisonment. Such prac tices have a tendency to correct themselves, but they first inflict a great deal of discomfort on the public. The French Journals of Friday and Saturday have all reached us. Their leading columns are for the most part occupied with the affair of Tou louse, upon which however, they add nothing new, either in the shape of fact or argument. The . • ~-..., , stip , ..

It has escaped no Journalist's observation, we believe, that. Sir ItopEnT PEEL'S difficulties will be increased or lessened as the harvest is scanty or abundant. It is a'proper punishment for him that his fate should depend on the unjust law he has sold himself to defend. The following pas sage from the Spectator places the matter in a graphic light : The weather-glass is the magic mirror of the states man. Every morning does Sir Robert Peel, " the pilot . that is to weather the storm"—that is to take the helm of the crank, ill-found vessel, with sealed instructions, in the file() of lhe blackest clouds—every n - zorning, before - his pilotage begins, does he consult the lowering sky and the retrograde finger on his barometer ; his counte nano) reflecting the sombre aspect of the heavens, his sighs of future trouble echoing the wind that beats against his window and tells of the bleak corn-fields and their spoiled abundance. The first week in August sets in like the last in November, with gusty winds and drifting rains : consolatory people in the country send in word that all *is right with the plentiful crops, if there be plenty of ripening sun ; and a glance at the leaden sky betrays all the mockery of the " if." The glance may well unnerve the boldest heart. The Whigs leave office with the cry of " cheap bread" in their moue ; the Tories come into office with dear bread threatened in the weather. The antithesis, however ac cidental, however little to be imputed to them in the way of blame, is startling, practical, undeniable. But the praise or blame of the matter is of secondary mo ment—the consequences are the thing to be dreaded. To have driven out the Whigs, in order to devise mea sures of relief for a distressed and discontented people, was a victory sufficiently thankless ; but to encounter—with a deficient revenue, taxes failing in productiveness, and trade suspended in many places where those dependent on trade crowd the thickest--in such circumstances to encounter a war with the elements, and to front the ad vances of a hungry people, is a fearful complication of evils. Such is the prospect offered to Sir Robert Peel by the summer sky. There is only one chance left for him---and surely he is not the man to shrink from a des perate recoanse well by de s p era t e c i rcumstances ? He might as withstand the rush of man and beast do the water after a,march in the desert, as stand by the Corsr-laws in the face of the people pressed on by Min cer; .he would be trampled down without hope or mercy. must abandon what he could not keep though he id i n the struggle—sliding scale, details, ll fi n d no help butin26,reipneealutidnigngthhies faithful expedient and e a l o t l l o: w hi c h the Ministry of n 'segue, the Duke of Wellington, and himself, resorted-- ding the Corn-la w s; leaving their ultimate f ate to be deeltled by and by. Our Gontemporary pushes the matter too far, suggests . that Sir R OB ERT probably, -wiren he may, as in 1826, suspend the law; but that w as done when the Parliament was not sitting, and Sir RosEwr will, probably, be as well aware- of the necessity of taking some measure befor e the Parliament separates, as when it again meets in January or February. At the same time, the state of the weather must, at this moment, barites any and every Minister who has any wish to-see the country peaceful and prosperous. When we are told so continually of the na tional independence caused by the Corn-laws, it seems proper to remind the Tories that those laws make the Government dependent on the - weather, which is proverbial for fluctuations. Such is the consequence.of interfering with the 'trod of the people, by which all the responsi bility of prosiding for them is assumed by the Legislature, and its organ the Executive Govern ment. What folly ! what madness! Man is born to trouble, doomed to labour and poverty, and, by interfering with his food, the stupid, but ambitious law-maker, makes himself re spossible for "all the ills that flesh is heir to." The word "independence' does not mean a com plete freedom, and perfect unrestrained latitude of action. A man cannot fly like a bird ; nor could a Tory Government, though clothed with the most absolute power, transport all our people to France or the United States. Independence, therefore, implies a restrained freedom, accord ing to which individuals and nations walk wisely within limits strictly imposed on them. To us it seems clear that the Corn-law, instead of ex -I:Wing these limits, creates a new and arbitrary - bpiutdary, narsowing both the national freedom and the ecrvernmenes sphere of action very much ; and thus, in the proper sense of the ott:tv ,,,,, word, incr eases th e d epen d ence b ot h o f the na avAPniivand the Government. nation,—because it continually, as the j~a- trains and limits our people to the sup r4! sd obtained from our own soil, of course t ern alw a Will ~ •15 harvest ys fails, pinched for f oo d, an d as of late it has been 4 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1841. following extracts from them include all the news they contain of any importance :- - The King and Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, Madame Adelaide, and the Princess Clemen tine, the Count de Paris, and the young Duke of lyur temberg, accompanied by the Count de Montalivet, Generals Athalin, Heymes, and de Rumigny, Colonel Dumas, Baron Fain, Lieutenant the Count de Grave of the Navy, and Captain de Sailly of the Foot Chasseurs, a suite of orderly officers, ladies of honour, and other attendants, arrived at Eu at half-past te n o n Th urs d a y morn i ng . Their Majesties were met at the entrance of the town by the Prefect and Military Commandant of, the department, the Sub- Prefect of Dieppe, an d th e Mayor and authorities of Eu, and were greeted by acclamations of welcome from nearly the ; whole population. Immediately on his arrival, the King received all the civil and military and judicial authorities, and the officers of the National Guards. His Majesty then reviewed the National Guards, four companies of the 55th Regiment of the Line, and a squadron of the 4th Lancers, in the court of the chateau. Afterwards, tne Commissary-General of the Marine at Havre, who was in attendance to re ceive the King's orders relative to the Marine Ser vice, presented to his Majesty the Captain of the steam-vessel Grondeur, and the brigs Marie Amelie, and Levrier, and other officers. In the afternoon, the King, accompanied by the Count de Montalivet, Generals Athalin and Heymes, M. de Gerente, Adminis trator of the Domaine Prive, and Messrs. Fontaine, Legrand, and Cailleux,; went to visit the mills of Mr. Packham, which have been considerably enlarged since last year, and now comprise two manufactories of sea-biscuits, one for lamp-oil, and a saw-mill. At five o'clock his Majesty returned to the chateau. In the evening the Prefect, Generals Maisonfort, Gerard, and Feisthamel, the Sub-Prefect of Dieppe, the Mayor of Eu, the President of the Tribunal de Commerce, and other functionaries, the Commandants of the Gendar merie of the Seine Inferieure and Somme, the Colonel of the 55th of the Line, the Captain commanding the squadron of the 4th Lancers, and the Commandants of the National Guards of Eu and Treport, Lad the honour of dining with their Majesties. The Duke and Duchess of Orleans, accompanied by General Marbot and a lady of honour, arrived at half-past eight in the evening. A letter from Orleans, in the Messager, states that Serein, the man charged with having carried off two children, has confessed, dreading discovery, he had strangled them, and put them into a cask, which he car ried in his cart to Vouzon, where be concealed them in some underwood. The account adds, that a gendarme, who had been sent to the spot indicated by the murderer, had discovered the bodies, but the thigh of one of them had been devoured by wolves. They had been stabbed and mutilated in several places. The wife of Serein has been arrested on suspicion of having known of the crime of her husband. Extract of a letter from Aleppo, June 21st, given by the Sentinelk of Toulon :—" The two English steam boats for navigating the Euphrates arrived a fortnight ago at Beles, the point nearest to Aleppo for the princi pal establishment. There is every reason to believe that an understanding has been or will be come to with the Arabs, but without which the proposed communication cannot take place. The passage from Bassora to Boles may be made in fourteen days, the distance being about twelve hundred English miles. It is too late for com mencing this year, as the waters of the river have been lowering ever since May the sth ; the current, however, remaining so strong that boats are obliged to keep near the shores." The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Carlsruhe, 31st ult. :—" This afternoon the Second Chamber of the States, which is to be pro rogued till November, had a farewell dinner, at which several liberal toasts were proposed. The Vice-Presi dent, M. Bekk, in proposing the heal.',h of the Grand Duke, said—' The Grand Duke, who as a man possesses the greatest qualities, is as a Sovereign the object of the veneration of all of us, notwittstanding our differences with his Ministers. Let us, not forget that the Duke is placed in too elevated a sphere to receive the slightest attack, and let our devotedness to him be the greater from the hope that his intervention will put an end to all unhappy disscfnsions." The Nem Gazette of Wurzburg has the following from Berlin t July 30 :—" On the morning of the 28th, some workmen, in the musket manufactory at Potsdam, excited by some French workmen, made an attempt at revolt, which the police and the gendarmerie were un able to repress, and which was only put down by the presence of troops. In this manufactory there are 700 persons employ e d, w h o wou ld not su b m i t to a customary diminution of wages, and even demanded an increase. The ringleaders were arrested, and tranquillity was re stored. The improper conduct of some young men of the upper classes at a concert having reached the know ledge of the King, through the journals, he has ordered the Minister of the Interior to proceed to an investiga tion, and to report the result. More than 50 witnesse:, have already been examined." The Helvetie states that the storm of the.lBth ult., - which was felt severely in Switzerland, was followed by an inundation in the Valais, which produced almost as calamitous results as the inundations of 1834 and 1839. On the 19th, the torrents from the mountains rushed down with such force, that the bed of the Rhone in a few minutes reached nearly the same height as in 1834, and they brought down with them fragments of build ings destroyed in their course. Several mills and houses were swept away by the Rhone, and the water was be tween five and six feet deep on the road from Tourte magne to Louesch. A post-chaise was there carried away by the current, and the postillion with great diffi culty escaped with the horses. A letter of the 28th ult. from Naples, in the Sema phore, says :—" The King on the 26th held a council o: Ministers, which prolonged its sittings for five hours. His 'Majesty, it app ears , w ill not go i nto Sicily until the designs and plans for the alterations to be made in tht Lazaretto at Messina are determined upon. The revenues of the city of Naples are so apple that hitherto it has never had occasion to raise the smallest loan ; but it is so anxious to complete some important works that it ha: decided upon borrowing 500,000 ducats, rather more than 2,000,000 francs. Messrs. de Rothschild have of fered to make the advance at 51 per cent., but it is said the city will give no more than 5, nor will allow an:, commission. Th e h ea t h as f or several days been exce s sive, but is so sensibly diminished as to become sup portable." The following letter is published by the Legitimist papers, as having been addressed to M. Berry-er by the Duke de Bordeaux :—" I have just learnt, Sir, the loss you have sustained by the death of your worthy father, and I have wished to express to you, with my own hand, the share I take in your just grief. I seize this opportu nity of informing you with how much attention and in terest I have followed the important discussions in which you have so frequently and so effectually spoken. Pro vidence has willed, and for this I offer up my thanks, that the most eloquent voice of our times should be con secrated to the defence of those principles, which so long insured the happiness and glory of our country. Con tinue, Sir, thus to serve France, by enlightening her upon her true interests, and believe that you will thereby acquire fresh claims to my esteem and affection, of which I take pleasure in hereby renewing to you the very sincere assurance. Kirchberg, July 10. " HEN RI."" The Ecito de la Nievre gives the following affecting instance of the force of conjugal affection in an industri ous couple at Nevers. A journeyman cabinet-maker, named Paris, and his wife, being both attacked with violent illness, were removed to the hospital, where the wife soon recovered ; but the husband remaining ill, she refused to leave him, an d was constantly at his bedside. She was at length prev a il e d on t o leave him for a short time, but she died soon after being removed to another room from excess of grief, and at the same moment the husband expired in the arms of one of the sisters of charity. A miser, who possessed a fortune of more than a thousand francs, but 'who did not expend daily more than six creutzers a-day for the milk and bread which formed his only food, lately committed suicide at Neufchatel, in Switzerland, by shooting himself with a pistol, which he had purchased the day before, after bargaining for a long time in order to obtain a diminution of price on the weapon. . _ _ A man with the appropriate name of Paternelle, as yet only 33 years of age, of the commune of Saint Martin in the Nord, lately entered for the fifth time into the holy state of matrimony, after a fourth widowhood of only 29 days, upon which occasion his neighbours gave him a spirit-stirring charivari. He was first married in 1830, next in 1835, thirdly in 1836, and fourthly in 1839. M. de Lamartine has returned to Macon from a tour in Switzerland. The Ministerial evening journal says—" Toulouse has during several days been making marked progress in its return to order. According to despatches received to-day, the disarmament of the national guard is being effected without the least difficulty. Yesterday, in the afternoon, the persons employed at the Prefecture were scarcely sufficient to receive the arms brought in by the National Guards." The Maniteur Parisien states that the number of persons arrested at Toulouse is considerable. Menaces of death, it acids, have been addressed to the new Mayor and his colleagues, and it was this that caused M. Lari gandere to give in his resignation. — The Etna steamer left Marseilles on the 3d, the Meteor and Crocodile on the sth, all bound for Algiers. Several emigrant Spanish priests have a rr i ve d at Paris. Immediately after their arrival they repaired to the Prefecture. The Acheron steamer which returned to port on th© 31st of July, had seen the squadron off the Balearic islands. Seray's division was still at Tunis, and was said to have many sick.—Le Coninierce.

Chatham, and Burke, and Fox, would have died sooner than dissemble for a moment,. During the whole career of those great statesmen, their measures and their sentiments on all point's and ques tions were proclaimed in season and out of season, in office and in opposition." The Scotsman warmly praises the clergymen who are about to assemble at Manchester, in order to enter their solemn protest against the Corn-laws :—" We are glad to perceive that many clergymen in different parts of the country are beginning to remonstrate with the landlords against the iniquitous Corn-laws. With the ordinary contests of party it is doubtful how far the clergy should interfere ; but questions occasionally come before the public which belong to religion as well as politics, and in which it is their duty to take part. The efforts, for example, which they made for the abolition of slavery, so far from being in consistent with their calling, were a necessary conse quence of sincerity in the faith they professed ; and as suredly the question of the Corn-laws is entitled to rank in the same category. To unfetter trade is, in fitct, to clothe the naked and feed the hungry." The Dublin Evening Post is of opinion that Sir Robert Peel will force the Tories to come into his views, observing, " He has just put the bit into their mouths, and they must obey the impulse of the charioteer." SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The acquittal of Mr. M'Leod is confidently anti cipated in the American Journals to the 20th of July, received this morning. We have long ceased to enter tain any apprehension as to the taking away the life of this gentleman. Indeed, from the outset, we never sup posed that the Yankees seriously contemplated involving themselves in a war with Great Britain by a provocation so atrociously reprehensible as the judicial murder of a British subject. Brother Jonathan and his Holiness the Pope will shortly fall to loggerheadS unless the Vicar of Christ re verse the order of apostolical salutation by the lip wor ship of a part of Jonathan's person, quite as unattractive as the Papal toe. It appears that some two or three years ago, the Pope summoned the Bishop of Detroit to Rome. The Bishop, Dr. Rees, obeyed the sum mons, when his Holiness ordered him to resign his diocese. This the Yankee Prelate refused, and was at once consigned to the dungeons of the Inqui sition. These facts were reported to Congress on the 18th of July, and it was expected that the President would call the Pope to a severe account for the incarce ration of an American citizen, for ecclesiastical acts al leged to have been committed within the jurisdiction of the United States. The affair was making a greater stir than the M'Leod case. Advices of the 2d instant from Lisbon represent the interior of Portugal as in a most unsettled state. Murder, sacrilege, and robbery are crimes of daily occur rence in the .Algarves. The Government was preparing a law for the more expeditious hanging of culprits. If the Portuguese Government can find no better moral teachers than the hangman and the gallows, the condi tion of that part of the Peninsula is indeed hopeless. From France the news is more interesting than politically important. Abd-el-Kader is growing more troublesome in Africa, and appears really bent upon bag ging the head of General Bugeaud. This is an imperti nence which the French Commander-in-Chief threatens to resent with tragic effect as soon as he catches hold of the Emir. The Criminal Tribunal of Tulle, at its sitting on the sth instant, agreed to postpone the trial of Madame Laffarge for the diamond robbery for a period of twenty weeks, to allow her principal witness, M. Clave, to return from Mexico. The following is a list of the jewels delivered into the Court, and which are to be produced in evidence, viz. :-122 diamonds, a star of brilliants, a fragment of an ornament composed of a pearl and brilliants, and another fragment of an orna ment in the form of a pompon, 10 fragments of other ornaments, a round box containing a ring set with bril liants and other stones, a small gold chain, and pearls, a velvet book-cover, a box with four pearls and two gold pins. The whole are inclosed in a box belonging to Mme. Laffarge." The Jews of Smyrna are exposed to the most wanton outrages on account of their religion. One of them was recently thrown into prison because a cat was missing ! and no crime is committed of which they are not supposed to be guilty by the bigoted inhabitants. Why do not the European Consuls interfere to protect these poor people ? The little war-kindling ex-Minister Thiers arrived s in Brussels on Friday morning from Courtrai. With out stopping to pay his compliments at Court the small statesman proceeded by the railway to Liege, with th© intention, as was supposed, of visiting Germany. His organs in Paris have prepared the Courts of Vienna and Berlin for the magnificent reception of the political Tom Thumb of the nineteenth century. The Dukes of Cadiz and Seville, Infants of Spain, left Liege on the sth inst. for Holland. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times, speculating on the probable course of Sir R. Peel's policy, says:—" He will govern Ireland, like every other part of the British empire, upon the principles of equal justice, and with the full determina tion of vindicating the supremacy of law." This is plausibly enough said, but who is to understand what the Right Hon. Baronet means by the "principle of equal justice," as applied to Ireland. A Tory notion of jus. tice in this respect is apt to be a very erroneous one, and to border very closely on pure despotism. In the fol lowing passage the Times evidently gives Sir R. Peel a hint of the propriety of putting down the Dublin Repeal Association :—" Nor should we expect him to look tamely on, while an organized society collected subscrip tions and held public meetings for the purpose of esta blishing an independent monarchy at Birmingham or Manchester : if Ireland is treated in the same way, what right can she have to complain ?" If the Tories attempt to put down the Repeal Association without giving Ireland some redress of the many wrongs of which she complains—and this they are likely enough to do—they will find that, instead of diminishing:, they will only be adding tenfold fresh fuel to the flame that already rages in the sister country. The Herald, recurring to the Iva-worn question of the Corn-laws, observes,—" If corn were high, the wages to purchase would be in proportion ; and therefore there ought not to exist such a:condition of distress. If corn were low, low wages would still bear their proportionable relation for the means of purchasing low-priced corn. Therefore, under that state of things, such a condition of distress ought not to exist. Finally, if corn were, low and wages high, it would seem impossible that *such a condition of distress could co-exist with. thrit relation between wages and prices. We undertake to show, in . a future article, that manufacturing.distress on a scale of; enormous extent has prevailed Coincidently with each of these conditions of the pried of corn and the rate of wages." • The Advertiser strenuously insists on the necessity of an immediate extension of the . suffrage :—" The inte rests of the many must continue to be sacrificed to the prejudices and interests of the few, so long as the present contracted state of the electoral qualification is suffered to remain. The aggressions of Toryism in its most ultra and audacious forms, can never b' successfully re sisted until the franchise be enlarged to at least such an extent as shall include all the householders of the land. The result of the recent elections affords demon strative evidence of this ; and has called forth, from one extremity of the empire to ar.other, a louder cry - than was ever heard before in favour of household 6uffragp. To that loud and universal demand for an extended suffrage, we would entreat Ministers to respond in the approaching Speech from the throne, if they would wish to retire from office with credit to themselves, and amid the plaudits of the people." The object of the Reform Bill was chiefly to benefit the middle classes, who may be said to have been almost the only great gainers by it ; and we think it is now full time that a still further reform should be granted, which may include those immediately below the middle classes, and by whose active, zealous exertions, it was that the first Bill was carried. An extension of the suffrage, conjointly with the Ballot, would produce this desir able effect. The Morning Chronicle remarks :—" Admitting, for argument sake, the superiority of the rural popula tion and the depravity of the urban, we again ask how are the latter to be disposed of ? The process of starva tion is slow. The shutting up of the factories may throw the operatives on parochial relief ; but the farmers, who insist that there are labourers enough for their purposes, will be unable to bear the additional burdens of several millions, for whom there is no work, and whose vices will contaminate their purer dependents. "What is to be done with them ? Will Lord Francis Egerton answer the question ?" This is the very question —more im portant than all others—that Sir Robert Peel has so often been called on to answer, and yet it is the very one to which he either cannot, or will not, give any reply. The Morning Post states that Mr. O'Connell's public purposes are revealed in every speech he makes, and that they are to " ripen the spirit of insurrection in Ireland until it can no longer be restrained, un!ess by an overwhelming military force, and, with this view to lead the Irish malcontents to rely upon the aid of the foreign enemies of England." Ireland is the Tories' weak point ; and whenever it evinces a more than ordinary disrelish of their policy, they invariably cry out, as in the present instance, that its great leader is busily projecting an in surrection. The Leeds Times, commenting on the present state of affairs, remarks as follows :—"Sir Robert may think that he has now obtained a power by which to stay the :ad vancement of reform and revolution ; but let the hour of trial come when it may, he will find himself utterly powerless to control the progress of events. Circum stances, are even now working out the ruin of his party." The Devonport Independent thus defines the cha racter of Sir R. Peel's policy :—" What will Sir Robert Peel do ?—ls the question. The answer is —precisely as he has done before—accommodate himself to circum stances—cat his own words, and belie his own professions, if expedient so to do. He will do as much as he must, but no more than he can help." The Cambrian, remarking on Sir R.Peel's reserve, says, " However unpalateable to the plain honest mind of the country such unworthy silence on its vital measures may appear, we ought not to grudge the short period of suspense during which the actor re hearses his part and lays on his paint. We can only remark; that in history no great man was ever known to malse a secret' of what in hi; opinion, w,4s best MONEY - TRADE-COMMERCE. The Scottish Guardian, speaking of another heavy failure that took place in Glasgow on Wednesday last, adds, "'We very much fear that we have not seen the worst." A.GRICULTURAL. The weather continues very inauspicious at Brighton ; the air is cold and damp, and much rain falls. The wheat harvest has begun in some favoured spots, but in others the crops are green and beaten down. The oats stand thick, and have been mown and reaped. The change of the moon has brought no change of weather. The rains at Leamington have been as heavy since that event, as they were before, and large crops are expected to be spoiled. Nearly 40,000 sheep and lambs we're penned at Alresford July lamb fair, and by noon the fiockmasters had nearly disposed of all. A Correspondent from Birmingham states the last week to have been gloomier than ever. Owing to the short supply of wheat a rise of 4s. a quarter was made on Saturday, which will, of course, be saddled to-day on the already miserable loaf of the half-famished mechanic. Turnips look well, but the crops have suffered, and much remains in the fields saturated with rain, and turuing black. LAW AND POLICE. The Biddulph case at Dublin has at length been brought to a termination for the present. Instead of having the trial proceeded with at an adjournment of the assizes, the Attorney-General has admitted Colgan to bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 50/. each, and Doherty in 50/., and two sureties in 25/. each. This pro longation of the case has been brought on by the sudden illness of the Juryman Hackett, which obliged Baron Foster to discharge the entire Jury. It may, however, be stated that eleven of the Jury were for an acquittal. COURT-FASHZONABLES. Friday next is the birth-day of the Queen Dow ager. The Tuesday following (17th instant)is the anni versary of the Duchess of Kent's birth, and the 26th is that of Prince Albert. Owing to the unsettled state of the weather, it is expected that the Duchess of Kent will prolong her stay on the Continent some time longer. The Marquis of Normanby arrived in town on Saturday from the Isle of Wight. The Duke of Devonshire has left town for Paris, on his way to Italy. Sir F. Burdett has been on a visit to Sir R. Peel at Drayton Manor. The Earl and Countess of Carlisle have arrived in Paris. SPORTING. The celebrated steeple-chase horse Jupiter was a few days ago shipped, per Rob Roy steam-ship, from Hull, for Vienna. It is understood to be sent as a pre sent to Prince Lichtenstein. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Russell, M.P., observed at a public dinner given to him at Burton-upon-Trent on Friday last, that " his party (the Tories) would not hide themselves behind the ample robes of the Ladies of the Bedchamber, but would envelope themselves in the broad mantle of their own in tegrity.". If the Tories wear no other garments than those furnished by their " own integrity," it is evident that they must walk abroad in purls naturalibus—that is to say, in a state of unsophisticated nature, such as Adam was in. before the Fall ! Imagine Sir Robert Peel walk ing down Regent -street in broad daylight,. with nothing but his " integrity" to cover him On Friday the election of the sixteen Representa tive Peers for Scotland took place at :llolyrood. The only alterations were the substitution , of the Earl of Seafield and Lord Rollo for the Earl of Home and Lord Gray, who retire by their own consent. The Earl of Jonsdale, at his` audit last week at Appleby, caused from twenty to twenty-five per cent. on the rents to be returned to his tenants. • The Church-rates at West Hackney were polled for on Saturday :—for the rate, 150; against it, 316. Seveial manuscripts of Mozart, consisting of about twolibhdred and eighty . pieces, are on the eve of publica tion on the Continent. A Gerraan Paper states that Madame Pasta has lost nearly all her fortune by the failure of a house at Vienna. A Morning Paper tells a strange story of the Bishop of London who, it seems, has lately summoned an aged Middlesex Rector before him, on the charge of sitting at an open window in an arm-chair, and reading a Sunday newspaper, with his feet on the,window-ledges, and a cask of ale on his drawing-room sofa ! Irreverent and unclerical as this conduct may seem in the Bishop's eyes, it is not a bit worse than standing —as his Lordship did a few years ago—half the day at his palace-window, flattening his apostolical nose against the pane, and counting the boats that rowed from Fulham to Putney on the Sabbath ! The bed-rooms of the new Reform Club-house caught fire yesterday evening, but by the quick arrival of the engines the flames were soon quenched. The entire Regent's Park will be thrown open to the public on Sunday, the 15th inst. On Monday last, a girl under twenty years of age, eloped from Aylesbury with a tailor. Luckily, her parents rescued her in time from the ninth fraction of humanity. At a Tory dinner given to Mr. Haralman at Bury, that gentleman observed that the Tories would ere long " monopolize all the education, intelligence, and good sense of the country !" When this] time comes, we shall look out with confidence for the Millennium ! RUMOURS OP THE DAY. It is rumoured that an alliance is in contemplation between Prince George of Cambridge and a young Ger man Princess, a near relative of Queen Adelaide. 'We hear that a splendid entertainment is shortly to be given to Admiral Sir R. Stopford, at the Thatched House Tavern. The Report of Mr, Stephen Conroy's death, late of the Coldstream Guards, is contradicted on authority. Mr. Conroy is at present on the Continent, with Sir John and Lady Conroy, and though seriously indisposed, is sanguinely expected to recover. THE Moons.—During the present week the passage of the distinguished company towards the north has been considerable, and the increase is daily ob servable as the 12th approaches. The meeting of Parliament on the 19th will, however, interfere ma terially with the motions of many sportsmen, par ticularly those to the northern counties ' • and we understand the most urgent appeals have been made to members of both parties for their personal attend ance on the very first day of the session. The 'pros pects of the game are plentiful, although the cold weather and drought early in July is represented as having been prejudicial in some grounds. The stations in this county are this year to be occupied as follows :—Earl of Mansfield, Glenfernate ; Earl of Lauderdale and party, Grandtully and Strathbran ; Earl of Mexborough at Auchnafree ; Lord Grantley, Rannoch ; Lord J. Scott, Dirnanean •, Sir P. M. Threipland and Sir J. Mackenzie, Dalnaspidal ; Sir D. Dundas, Glenlednock ; Right Hon. Fox Maule, Kinlock ; Mr. Labouchere, Glenquaich ; C.

Her Majesty is expected to return to Bucking ham Palace this day week from - Windsor Castle, al though no day is yet positively fixed. The Duchess of Kent's birth-day will be celebrated on the following day. It is probable her Majesty will open the new Parliament in person ; and, on Wednesday, the 25th instant, her Majesty is expected to hold a Court, at which the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Convocation of the Bishops will be present. The pugilistic contest between Pat ker and Brassey is expected to take place between West Bromwich and Bradford. The best account Will,be in the Bell's Life in London of Sunday, August 15.

By the packet ship North America, which arrived yesterday at Liverpool in nineteen days from New York, we have received the papers of that city to the 20th ult., three days later than the last arrivals. The Osledonia steamer had arrived at Boston, after a very favourable passage of thirteen days ; and the news brought by her from England occupies a prominent place in the American journals. There is very little political news in these papers of any moment. The general opinion in New York and Wash ington was that M'Leod would be acquitted. Matters are going on pretty favourably in Canada. A committee has been appointed in the House of As sembly to equalize the currency. The Committee which had been named to decide upon the subject of reporting the debates; handed in a Report in favour of the Assembly, subscribing for five hundred copies of the " Mirror of Parliament." The Government plan of banking and currency is nearly matured. A number of the citizens of Quebec, mostly of French origin, have put in circulation a petitio n t o th e Provin cial Legislature, praying the House to intercede with the Queen for a full pardon to all persons implicated in the " troubles" of 1837-38. The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, commenced its annual session at Kingston on the 12th instant, when nearly forty Ministers and about fif teen ruling elders took their seats. A good deal of business was transacted in relation to Missionary la bour, and an address voted, congratulating his Excel lency on the completion of the Union of the Pro vinces, and on his recent recovery from indisposition. The Synod also adopted the petition to the Legislature, praying that provision be made for the use of the Bible in all schools of the province receiving any grant of pub lic money. The 43d regiment has arrived at Toronto. Both Provinces are unusually healthy. The Governor- General has quite recovered. WAsHINGToN.—Our very latest accounts from Wash ington speak very discouragingly of the passage of a Bank Charter at the extra session ; and some go far as to sav that nothing will be done of any importance, except th - e new loan of:12,000,000. It is said the President is against all action on a bank, tariff, bankrupt law, and division of the public lands, until the meeting of the re gular session in December next. He will then be pre pared to frame a general system of legislation in the finances, currency, public lands, and imports, all together, consistent with rights, principles, and public policy. Such is the opinion on these points. On the McLeod case, it is understood that no difficulty will occur. PHILADELPHIA MORALITY AND JUSTICE.—The Grand Jury of Philadelphia have found several indict ments against the Times, and two other penny papers, for libels—that is, for telling too much unwelcome truth. In this same city, Levis, who forged and defrauded to the extent of nearly 11,300,000, was allowed to run away—to come back—and to run away again, without any molestation from a Grand Jury. In the same city, the Directors of a bank robbed the widow, orphan, and other stockholders of Europe and America, out of nearly $35,000,000, their all—and they ire looked up to as re spectable citizens, beyond the reach of a Grand Jury. In the same city, police officers are proved in open Court to be confederates of burglars, and they are untouched by a Grand Jury. In the same city, forgers and mur derers are tried, and get off. All this is the justice and morality of Philadelphia. Out upon such hypocrites ! A double portion of the fire that fell on Sodom and Go morrah is due to Philadelphia, without loans, credit, or post notes. Her Grand Jury is on a level with her grand bank. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.-JULY 18. At the Stock Board yesterday a fair business was done at fluctuating rates ;U. S. Bank declined ; Delaware and Hudson i ; Stonington, f. Sales of bills on Phila delphia, 33* ; Baltimore, 21 2i. $2,000 Alabama 6 per Cent. Bonds were sold at auction at $77. The following is the return of the Banks of Rhode Island on the sth of June, as compared with the return of April 5, 1841 : April 5. July 5. ' Total liabilities $14,232,621 14,546,703 Total resources 14,232,621 14,546,703 . .. . „. This return indicates an increased currency in the Eastern section, and the business of that part of the country seems to have increased, while that of New York has remained stationary ; In fact the business of the New England States depends upon the industry of its inhabitants altogether, and whatever Congress or any other body of men may be doing, they keep to work. While New York and. New York capitalists are " calling upon Jupiter for help," the Yankees are putting their shoulders to the wheel. The result is a constantly increasing prosperity. Boston is now the centre of a large trade, she has four railroads that connect her with all the important sections of the coun try. The Providence line brings her within ten hours of New York.. The Eastern railroad connects her with the State of Maine and the intermediate interests. —The Lowell railroad runs through the heart of the great manufacturers, the produce of which spreads all over the face of the Union, clothing alike the slave, the planter, and the farmer. From these she receives their pork, flour, and other produce, in paytnent, hitherto by the way of-New Orleans, New York, and other ports, but now she has boldly., stretched her extended hand through the Great Western Railroad to receive those products immediately at her own door ; and next winter, while New York, with its river frozen up, and its dealers speculating on the movement of the politicians at Wash ington, and are waiting for some great mysterious event, Boston will be in the enjoyment of a large and active business.

She sailed thence on the 4th ult, and has brought us the Jornol do Conmercio to that date. After a careful perusal, we cannot find a single word of news in the papers. We learn 'verbally, however, that some excitement existed in Rio, in consequence of a fight which had taken place be tween a slaver and an English cruiser. As near as we can ascertain the slaver had the advantage. It has struck us several times that not many months would pass over before some slaver, with a desperate crew, would show fight when boarded by a British man-of-war, and and here is the first instance. It will not be long ere we hear of another. CHRONICLES OF THE TOMBS.—The report from Gene ral Hydes hospitable mansion, of the incomings and out goings last week, was as follows :—Received into the establishment, 127 white males, 70 white females, 17 negroes, 15 negro wenches ; total received, 229. Dis charged during the same period, 140 white males, 62 white females, 22 negroes, and 20 negro wenches ; total discharged, 244. Remaining in prison, 73 white males, 31 white females, 21 negroes, and 6 negro wenches; total remaining, 131. Of those remaining, only 47 are for felo nies and misdemeanours, other than assaults and batte ries, the remainder being for drunkenness, vagrancy,o&c. Of the 47, three are of persons convicted and not sen tenced, one is confined for murder, 18 for grand larceny, seven for petit larceny, one for embezzlement, three for abandonment, one for robbery in the first degree, three for burglary, three for forgery, one for rape, one for receiving stolen goods, two for false pretences, one for bigamy, one for conspiracy, one for bastardy, and two disorderly persons. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 7.—We have had a very quiet market to-day, and the business limited. The sales amount to 2,500 bales ; only a few of American descriptions have been taken by exporters. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AUG. 7.—The transac tions are reported as follows:—Grand Junction, 189 ; Half Share ditto, 98 ; Great Western, 201. shares, 9 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 195 ; London and South Western, 52; Manchester, Preston, and Bury, 55; North Midland Thirds, 91. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 7.—We can not report any improvement in the Share Market : Manchester and Leeds, 50 51 ; do. Halves, 21 4 214 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 421- 43 ; London and Birming ham, Quarters, 221 22t ; Manchester and Birmingham, 21 21} ; Stafford and ltugby, 21., 1 ls. 3d. A Lisbon mail has also arrived by the Braganza steamer, sailed from Gibraltar 29th of July, Cadiz 30th, Lisbon 2d of August, Oporto 3d of August. The infor mation she brings is of little interest, except that a confla gration took place in which several lives were lost ; also two respectable tradesmen destroyed themselves by poison. New York Papers have been received by the North America, after a passage of nineteen days to the 20th ultimo, three days later than previously received by the Britannia. The news she brings is not of importance. Some excitement was caused at New York by a state ment in a Sunday paper that three hundred or four hun dred Canadians were going to rescue li•Leod. An alarm was given, and all the bells rung, and the people turned out en masse. The New York daily papers are silent on the above subject ; therefore we may conclude there is no founda tion for the report. The rate of Exchange upon England for good bills was Bto Bi, and 7l for inferior paper. 'United States Bank Shares rather , lower, 17j. 'We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 13th of June, from which it appears that Admiral B rown i n hi s brig, accompanied by a brigantine, arrived in the outer roads from off Monte Video, on Sunday last, to re-victual, &c.. It said that the Itiveresta squadron, inclutling - Coe'S ship, the newly-purchased barque EVENING SUN. and brig Pereyra, were about to ,l - eave Monte Video to seek a new encounter with Admiral Brown. The tone of Capt. Coe's dispatch to the Monte Video Government relative to the action of the 24th is quite different from that which he indited of his operations off this port, and does not warrant the bombastindulged in by the Monte Video papers. It is such as Ives to be expected from a foiled man who had clone his best to wrest victory from his opponents. He states that up to nine o'clock on the morning of the 25th the returns received by.hiol gave the loss to the squadron of Captain Shannon and Lieut. Lemoine (erroneously stated Paz) seven seamen and two marines killed, and nine wounded. The Rere rista brigantine, which was driven on shore on the 25th. has been dismantled; her second in command wo wounded in the arm. The arrival of the national vessels of war on the eren ing of the 27th ult., caused some anxiety on shore, The former fired a gun on anchorage in our outer roads. A boat was sent to her, which did not return until long after dark, when the cheers of the boat's crew, a nd of those assembled on the beach, gave the first intima tion of the triumph of Admiral Brown's squadron oil the 2 th ult. The paper of the 12th June states, "We have, no nals's this week from the interior ; a strong wind off land 1155 prevailed all the week, and we have .no late accounts from sea, or from Monte Video. It is understood that General Echegua has opened the campaign in Corrientes. The coronation of the Emperor of Brazil has been de ferred until the 18th July.
