MORNING SUN. NEW MACHINE FOR BLOCK . PRINTING. The extraordinary improvements which have of late years been introduced into the various branches of the cotton manufacture, have so entirely changed the dif ferent modes and processes of production, that scarcely any resemblance can now be traced to the original methods. Block-printing, however, seems, until very recently, to have been left behind in this march of im provement, and the printing shop presents almost the same appearance now which it did when the art was first introduced into this country from the East Indies ; and for aught we know to the contrary, the precise mode was still followed which was practised by the ancient Egyp tians. with, perhaps, a slight increase in the size of the blocks. In cylinder printing very extensive improve ments have been effected, and are now very generally in use amongst the trade ; but when brightness and purity of colouring are required, block or surface printing is the mode by which it is effected; and in the article called mous selines de laine, and other mixed fabrics, which require to be well saturated with the colouring matter, the original mode of printing has hitherto been practised. On Wednes day last, however, we had an opportunity of seeing in opera tion at the print-works of Messrs. Thos. Kennedy and Co., at Little Govan, a machine invented by a Mr. Burch, engineer, of London, which is likely destined to make a great revolution in the printing business, and may eventually enable printers to execute the most elaborate patterns in block-printing equal in facility with the cy linder machine. The machine which we saw was adapted for printing patterns in four colours, which it performs with blocks precisely similar to those in ordinary use, except that they impress the whole breadth of the piece at once, and the operation is performed upon a table re sembling in appearance that used by the hand:sprinters. Each block, after having been twice dipped upon the colour sieve, (each time in a different place, so as to meet a fresh surface charged with colour), is carried on to the printing table, when it is im pressed on its exact position upon the cloth ; and in cases when the colour upon one block is thicker than what is necessary for another, the consistency is re gulated according to the fineness or weight of the objects upon the surface of the block. They require a blow to make them part frzely from the colour, or mordant, and a set of mauls, or weights, are made to fall upon that particular block, which assists in producing a sound im pression. The colours are supplied and spread upon the sieves by the action of the machine, and the blocks and sieves are changed with a facility almost equal to block printing. There is also a self-acting cleansing appara tus, which removes the waste colour from the cloth, upon which the work is done, and must save great trouble and expense in washing and supplying new printing blankets. The joinings of the patterns are also most perfect, and we were informed that the style of work the machine was performing, at the time of our inspection, was very difficult, being a heavy black blotch, along with some delicate pink rosettes and fine outline prints. The result seemed to give perfect satisfaction to the gentlemen who have been the first to introduce this machine into Scot land. We were shown some perfect specimens of six colour work which had been printed by one of these machines in London, and we understand that one of them may be seen printing patterns, in six colours, at the establishment of Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and Co., engi neers, Manchester. We find that the inventor and patentee of this machine has a practical knowledge of the printing trade, which must have been of intimate use to him in constructing this beautiful piece of mechanism. The machine at Messrs. Kennedy's is worked by half a horse power, and being attended by two men and a boy, pro duces as much work as twenty men and twenty boys under the old or usual system ; and it is expected that superiority of work will be added to the cheapness and facility of execution. The machine is also applicable to the printing of warps, which are afterwards woven, and produce the fabric called Chenies ; or it will print paper hangings, druggets, or oil cloths. From the progress which has been recently made in calico printing on the Continent, something like the invention of Mr. Burch was extremely desirable to enable the British printers to retain their superiority ; and there is nothing in which English workmen so much excel their continental rivals as in the skilful management of machinery. A Swiss, German, or French block-printer, is quite a match at any time in skilful manipulation to an Englishman, but none of them could compete with him in the quantity or qua lity of the work to be obtained from an ingenious ma chine like that which we have been describing.—Glas gow Herald. POPULATION OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW AND COUNTY O'S LANARK. In our first page will be found the Census returns for the City of Glasgow and the county of Lanark, showing a total of 280,676 souls for the former, and 433,912 for the latter, inclusive, of course, of Glasgow and the other burghs within the bounds of the county. While the vast increase which has taken place in the population since 1831 must form matter of consideration to every one, as indicative of the progressive advance of com merce and manufactures within our bounds, it is not to be regarded without a somewhat painful alloy or draw back. The returns prove that in those parts of the city, which are principally inhabited by labourers or the humbler class of operatives, the increase in the number of dwellings has borne no proportion to the increase of the population which inhabits them ; or, in other words, that as the number of people have increased their comforts have decreased. The Irish population, it will be observed, has increased vastly during these last 10 years, and the fol lowin.• ' remarks on the subject by Mr. Strang are well worthy the attention of those who pursue statistical inquiry with the view to ameliorate the condition or the mass who lie at the base of society :—" While, therefore, (says he] there appears only to be an increase [in the ancient burgh bounds] of 3,495 in the present Census above that which the Irish bore to the population of 1831, the real amount of inhabitants who are imbued with Irish charac teristics, habits, feelings, and religious sentiments, i s in finitely greater. Whether or not this vast infusion into our city population, of a people whose ideas of comfort are so far below the level of this nation, has had the effect of altering, in any degree, the tastes and habits of those with whom they are in daily intercourse, is somewhat problematical ; but it cannot be denied, that this con stant Irish immigration is producing a more densely and closely packed community, and is tending to a less com fortable condition in the dwellings of the labouring classes . of our city." _ _ While on this subject it may not be uninteresting to give a vidimus of the population of Glasgow and of the county in which it is situated, at various antecedent periods, evincing, as it does, an advance which has only been equalled by the rapid, though less extensive, growth of some of the American communities which have sprung into thriving towns and cities within a few years after the axe was applied to the forest from which the first location was hewn. There is reason to believe that at the time of the Reformation, in 1560, the population of Glasgow amounted to 4,500 ; but there is no authentic data on this subject till 1610. In that year (1610) Epis copacy having been re-established, the population was taken by Archbishop Spottiswood, and ascertained to be 7,644. At the restoration of Charles 11., in 1660, the population numbered 14,678. At the period of the Re volution, in 1688, the population had declined to 11,948. The civil wars are assigned as the cause of this decrease, and it is a matter of historical fact, that the iron hand of persecution fell upon no part of Scotland more heavily than upon that part of it in which Glasgow is situated. It is not wonderful, therefore, that the numbers fell off immediately after the restoration of the Second Charles, and that it required more than half a century to make tip . the defal ca ti on. In 1708. i mmediately after the mon, the population amounted to 12,766. This enu meration was made by the Ma g i s t ra t es , to ascerta i n the amount of the decline which they had anticipated. In 1711, an enumeration was made by order of the Conven tion of Royal Burghs, and the population was found to be 13,832. In 1740, the numbers were taken by the Macri strates, and found to be 17,034. In 1753 th e p opu lation'hld Increased to 23,5 46 , but this total included persons livingin houses adjoining to, but beyond the R oya l ty. In 1763 an enumeration;was made by Mr. J. Woodburn, city surveyor, and found to give a tot al of 28,300. In 1780 , the suburbs ' of Glasgow were for th e first time included in the enu meration, and the total numbers were 42 ,832. I n 1785, :soon after the termination of the American war, t h e Magistrates took the population, which was 45,889. was taken for Sir Joh n Si n- In 1791, the population clair's National Statistical Account, and found to be 66,578. In 1801, the first Government. ,00d ~ Females, Census was ; taken, and th e resu lt w as—Males, 33 4 4 ,378—T0ta1, 77,385. Including part of the Subury,, llowever, which had been omitted, the total population of Glasgow now amounted to 83,769. In 1811, the Government Enumerati on gave — Males, U ,27 5 ;Fe males, 55,474—T0ta1, 100,749. By adding those parts of the suburbs, which had been omitted, the actual total was 110,460. In 1819, an enumeration was taken by 'the late Dr. Cleland, giving the following results — `Males, 68,994; Females, 78 , 2 03—T0ta1, 147,197. At the Government Census of 1821, the numbers were — Males, 68,119 ; Females, 78 ,924—T0ta1, 147,043. In 1831, the fourth Government Census was taken, and the population was—Males, 93,724 ; Females, 108,702 — Total, 202,426. In 1841, the fifth Government Enume ration gives a total of 280,676. The population of the county of Lanark .has pro gressed as follows 1801, it amounted to 146,699. In 1811, it was 190,924, showing an increase from 1801 . 4 . - )f Si per cent. In 1821, the total was 244,387, show ing an increase from 1811 of 27 per cent. In 1831, the population was ascertained to be 316,790, showing an increase from 1821 o f 30 per cent. In the returns which we publish to-day th e gross populat i on of Lanarkshire in 1841 is 433,912, showing an increase from 1831 of 117,122 or 36•9 per cent. —Glasgow Herald. EFFECTS OF OF DISSIPATION.—In the Glasgow Police Court, on Thursday, a poor dissipated wretch presented his haggard countenance, supported by two trembling hands—the elbows resting on the bar—and heard, with rueful expression, the charge of abusing his wife. She appeired in the witness box, a clean snod bode, and not at all disposed to be severe on her decid edly worse half. According to her evidence he had fasted for nearly twenty months—taking nothing but whisky—until his stomach refused food, and his senses denied him the knowledge of the days of the week ? She did not want to he separated from him; all she wanted was him to separa e himself from " that cursed waisky."

HERALD.—Of all British Ministers, he who presides over the Foreign Department is the least uncontrolled, and is, except on rare and momentous occasions, practi cally irresponsible. During the past ten years, the people of these kingdoms and their Representatives have been so exclusively devoted to altering and changing, and piecing and mending their domestic institutions—to war ring with each other on grounds to a great extent imagi nary, that no event beyond our own shores, however dangerous, no encroachments on the rights of Europe, however open, could arrest public attention, or bring the nation to a perception of its material interests. During this decade of national perversity Lord Palmerston in the Foreign-office of Downing-street was in reality as despotic as the Autocrat himself. The pages of " Han sard's Debates" of the reformed House of Commons on subjects of foreign policy would not form a moderate sized pamphlet ; and on no occasion when that dis tasteful subject has been discussed—Spanish politics only excepted—has Lord Palmerston fairly met the sub ject. If papers were wanted, or explanations asked for, his Lordship interposed," the public interests ;" if some determined Member of . the Opposition or retired diplo matist did get a House to listen to his exposition of some grievous injury or national insult, his Lordship turned to the Treasury benches, and scattering forth insinua tions—ambigua s votes—of factious motives, as a signal for Ministerial cheers, proceeded to avoid—his Lord ship is a complete master of the art of " avoidance " the question really before the Legislature by a series of vague generalities, such as " peace," " civilisation," " liberty," " increasing commerce," " interest of na tions," and hosts of general propositions embodied in other similar abstract terms, all introduced for the pur pose of carrying away men's minds from the examina tion of any tangible thing connected with their country's safety or interest. GLOBE.—It is curious enough that the Times, in its present anxiety to place Sir Robert Peel at liberty to do just as he likes with the Corn-laws, or rather just as circumstances may impose a fair or foul weather budget—has furnished, in another of its leading arti cles this morning, the amplest apology—the fullest vindication of the conduct of Ministers—in treating the time and manner of dealing with questions of this nature as matters of expediency, and not of principle. " This," says the Times, " will be the Conservative principle in the variable matter of politics —constant improvement, development of useful tendencies, re trenchment of inconsistencies or impediments to good, accommodation to the progress of society, submission to the reasonable expectations of the people. By this rule they will act in questions of trade and com merce; in financial reforms and legal reforms; in police and sanatory regulations ; in the second ary parts of questions, such as the Poor-law and the laws relating to the Parliamentary franchise, and indeed in the practical details of every question. They will never compromise. their freedom of judgment upon such subjects by laying down the course which expediency may dictate as fit to be pursued at one moment, as if it were an immutable law, to be followed in every possible event." Mark, reader ! this most conveniently lax code of party morals stands cheek by jowl with the outcry against Lord John Russell for having refrained, at an earlier period, from stirring the Corn-law question, when he knew he had no chance of carrying it ! Here is a code of party morals, to enable the Tories to act as they please about Corn-laws, Poor-laws, and, in fact, about all those ques tions on which their organs have raised all the recent clamour to turn out the present Ministry ! Nothing cer tainly can be more convenient ! but now mark the equity towards opponents. The Whigs have been unprin cipled for postponing the stirring of questions on which they knew the Tories could turn them out by alarming class interests. The Tories have been well-prin cipled in swindling a landed and colonial majority by exciting alarms, which they mean to disregard when the " pressure from without" comes on them. Expediency dictated yesterday the loudest outcries about Corn-laws and Poor-laws, and the firmest ad herence to dear sugars, and deficient finances. Ex pediency to-day suggests the folly of holding any fixed course on such subjects, " as if it were an immutable law, to be followed in every possible event." Is it honest, is it endurable, that tie country should be appealed to, as if the most fundamental prin ciples, the most vital interests were at stake ; and then that the dupes of the Tories should be told, when their game has been played, that their leaders will not com promise their freedom of judgment by laying down any " immutable law" to themselves on any of those ques tions on which they charged their opponents, forsooth, with having forsaken fixed principles I When Whig ministers would relieve commerce, and restore revenue, it is a " party move ;" to be met by appealing to every prin ciple that can be dragged in head and shoulders. When all these appeals to principle have served their turn, it is now discovered that there are no principles concerned in the matter ; and that the Tories may take whatever "party move" suits them ;—even should it suit them to move precisely in the steps of their vilified predecessors? STANDARD.—We do not remem b er ever to h ave I read any newspaper article with so much pleasure as has been afforded to us by that which we have borrowed from this day's Times. We shall not fall into the bad taste of complimenting its grace of language and its eloquence, though on these grounds it may claim the highest praise. As newspaper writers we are of course interested in exalting the pretensions of the press, and our testimony would be received with suspicion. Let our readers judge for themselves of the literary merits of the composition. What gratifies us, and will gratify our readers, is the high moral tone and sound moral principles of the article to which we call at tention. From the first day on which we presumed to address the public, we have incessantly laboured to incul cate the truth, that the moral ground is the only ground upon which a constitutional party can hope to stand firmly in this moral country ; and that every departure from that ground, whether in the selection of public func tionaries, or in sacrificing principle to expediency, must be the cause of weakness in the beginning, and lead to ruin in the end. It rejoices us to see the most powerful journal in this or any other country as zealously employed as ourselves in enforcing the same vital truth. The constitutional party now possessing the power of the State, whoever may for a time occupy its offices, commands more than seven hundred Peers and Commoners—surely more than one-seventh of them in every way eligible to the highest offices, andjkstained by a single blemish upon their private char s, as unsuspected of being capable of a compromise With principle. Here then, is an ample field for choice, and to this field the people, who have made such exertions to place the Conservative party in power, must justly expect that the choice of their rulers will be confined. We do not say that it would be wrong to proscribe any man on account of his notorious vices or weaknesses. We deny the proposition ; we think such a proscription a duty, but proscription of any kind is not necessary. Office belongs to the public—no man has a claim upon it but from the public choice. It is not proscription to say that the demand of this or that man must be postponed to the public wish and to the public good. 1)o we say this as doubtful of what must be the na tural feeling of him whom the Conservative people of the United Kingdom have unanimously chosen as their leader, and who probably at no distant day will be called to dispense the offices of the State ? Far from it—we have no doubt of Sir Robert Peel's inclina tions. His own character, personal and political, is a warrant that he will not voluntarily affront the country and his party by any unfitting appointment. The advice of the Times, which we respectfully repeat, is however necessary ; though not for Sir IL Peel's instructions, it is necessary to protect him from the importunity of such as would weaken and dis grace his Government, and from the importunity of their patrons and immediate adherents. In attempt ing to describe the classes who ought not to be per mitted to sully, by their direct connection with it, an Administration representing the moral Conservative party of the United Kingdom, we have no design to point to individuals•—we hope not to be understood as pointing to individuals. Our purpose is to deal in the abstract. If, then, there b e an y man w h o t hi n k s himself qualified for office, but who is conscious that before the public he carries a moral stigma, let such a man remember, that in forcing himself into office, he in flicts a deep injury upon his party. He may have repented of his errors or his crin es—he may have reformed his life and conversation, but repentance and reformation are secret. The stain upon his character is public and enduring, and by forcing himself into office, he inflicts that stain upon the administration of which he makes a part. One tainted man in office will do more to injure a Conservative administration than tly-s abilities of ten of the most able men can repair—will in flict more injury than can be inflicted by one hundred ene mies. Secondly, if there is any man who has given ground to suspect his integrity, or his firmness—which in politics is the same thing with integrity—let him reflect that the Conservative party is more eminently than ever a party was before a party of principles— of moderate and tolerant, of Liberal and reforming prin ciples, but still of principles, not to be abandoned or compromised in any submission to expediency ; and, re flecting upon this, he cannot fail to see, that, whatever the secret motives with which he may have swerved from the straight path—however honourable he may think those motives, the deviation has for ever disqua lified him from a prominent situation in that party, which will dissipate like a rope of sand when it ceases to consider itself as acting upon fixed and intelligible principles. The simple single-minded policy is the only policy by which such a party can be held together for a single day. COURIER—Sir Robert Peel is carried into office and power not on the strength of the promises he has made, nor the pledges he has given ; on the contrary, he is pre-eminently exempt from all such embarrassing en gagements. His principles and his policy were before the country ; his speeches and his votes, as leader of the Opposition d ur i ng a most t ry i ng an d eventful period were also before the country ; these were his claims to public confidence, and strongly as disinterestedly have these claims been recognised. He, "in power," will not be haunted by the ghosts of unredeemed promises ; neither, in power, will he have to belie the declarations he made while in pursuit of it. As a constitutional ad viser of the Crown he has studiously guarded his free (loom of action ; be is hampered by no engagements, no appropriation clausez, which he can neither redeem with safety, nor abandon without dishonour. The character of his policy will of course be strictly Conservative : that is, he will embrace no plan of wild or hazardous ex periments in any department of his administration, while the complete security of his condition, his prudence, his sagacity, and his experience, will prompt him to redress every grievance ; correct every abuse, either of system or administration ; apply safe and salutary reforms where needed ;and by his mode of introducing and conducting important modifications,.eithe r in principles of govern ment or system of finance, he will render change as salutary and safe, as in other hands it has proved- i'iskful and pernicious—to the requirements of the public ser vice he will yield, not to the pressure of faction, or the FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—We shall not imitate those who enter into discussions upon the personal composition o a Cabinet yet unformed • yet we gladly avail ourselves of the op portunity which that circumstance affords to make one or two observations upon the great importance of a con sistent selection of individuals for office. The country looks much, and justly, to the characters of individuals, and does not sympathise with the doctrine which draws a broad line of distinction between public and private morality. The nation, of course, is not to be deprived of the services of men of pre-eminent talents, merel be cause the malignity of faction has endeavoured to blacken their names with imputations whieh have been refuted as often as the opportunity of refutation has been given : much less is every passage in the pri vate life of every candidate for office to be submitted to an inquisitorial scrutiny. But no Minister ought to expect the people to place confidence in men whom he does not himself esteem. Above all thinc , s, we should regret to see a Conservative Minister following the example of the Whigs, in making exceptionable ap • pointments to posts of distinction about the Court and Household of the Sovereign. But we are entitled to as sume that the offices of state will be filled by suitable persons. We pass, therefore, from such considerations, to the more momentous question of the course of policy which the new Cabinet will follow. Sir Robert Peel, in that passage of his Tamworth speech to which we have more than once had occasion to refer, described the Con servative party as being, on the one hand, " not dis posed to resist such changes as the altered circum stances of society may require ;" and, on the other, " determined to maintain on their ancient foundations. the institutions of the country in' church and state." A neglect to discriminate between questions of ex pediency and questions of principle was one of the weaknesses of the old Tory party, of which the Con servatives have now happily disencumbered themselves. This line ought to be clearly drawn, for the sake both of the character of statesmen and of the public interest. Upon a question of expediency, what is unwise, and therefore wrong, at one time, may be wise, and therefore right, at another ; and a sagacious politician will be more consistent in changing his course according to cir cumstances, than in persevering doggedly in one in flexible line of action. Such variations of policy cannot be disgraceful to any man. The only effect of con founding them with matters of principle would be to place statesmen in a false, and ultimately untenable, position. Upon questions of principle, what is right once is right always, and change is inconsistency, and inconsistency dishonour. When Sir Robert Peel stated that the Conservatives were " not disposed to resist such changes as the altered circumstances of society might require," he pledged the Conservative party, or himself as its leader, to allow considerations of ex pediency their full weight in all practical questions, and to follow no rule, except that of common sense and an enlightened and disinterested regard for the public interest, in adjusting the machinery of our laws and in stitutions to the functions which they may from time to time be required to fulfil. This, then, will be the Con servative principle in the variable matter of politics,— constant improvement, development of useful tendencies, retrenchment of inconsistencies or impediments to good, accommodation to the progress of society, submission to the reasonable expectation of the people. By this rule they will act in questions of trade and commerce ; in financial reforms and legal reforms ; in poliee and sana tory regulations ; in the secondary parts of questions, such as the Poor-law and the laws relating to the Parlia mentary franchise, and indeed in the practical details of every question. They will never compromise their free dom of judgment upon such subjects by laying down the course which expediency may dictate as fit to be' pur sued at one moment, as if it were an immutable law, to be followed in every possible event. \ • CHRONICLE.—Among the delinquencies of the Whigs, for which they will be severely overhauled when they shall come to give an account of their stewardship, surely the most unpardonable in a Churchman's eyes will ever be considered the extermination of two Arch bishops and eight suffragans from the roll of the Irish Church. The Quarterly Review may, in mincing phrase, prate about " the enormous folly of the Reform Bill ;" but here is a proof of its enormous iniquity ; and to whom are the thanks of the Christian world due for so flagitious an inroad upon the true faith of the Beres fords ? By the mass, to Lord Stanley. We shudder to record it. His " prentice hand" it was that knocked off the heads of two metropolitans, and rendered the divine right of translation almost an impossible thing. Doubtless he has, at least within these three weeks, repented in sackcloth and ashes, of having dealt such a heavy blow and sad discouragement to the Christian world ; but of what avail are his tears if they cannot make a Bishop of Ferns ? Who cares for his repentance while nepotism no longer flou rishes upon the Rock of Cashel ? Small comfort are the Noble Lord's afterthoughts to the hurrays, O'Sullivans, and Elringtons, when they see three or four Nonagena rians ready at this moment to soar aloft to heaven, whose bishoprics no other man can take. There is Dromore doomed to be no more; Kilmore, like Macbeth, fated to perish without a successor ; Kildare to merge in Dublin; and Clogher—honoured name—to be swallowed up in Armagh. Alas, the glory of the Church has departed, and the younger sons' portion, so affectingly bewailed by 1)r. Boyton, is, together with his own honest expectations, in gulfed in Stanley's Bill. But there is worse than this. The Bishops that are left are overworked, and soon it will be a difficult matter to find any divine so reckless of his own ease and enjoyment as to accept a mitre ; whilst already it has been found that an archbishop's functions are too much for any poor sinner's shoulders. The following pathetic paragraph appears in a Church and State Jour nal. We need not bespeak the condolence of our readers for the illustrious sufferers : " The triennial visitation now imposed upon the only two remaining archbishops of the Established Church must bear very hard upon those dignitaries, viz., his Grace the Lord Primate, and the Archbishop of Dublin ; the whole kingdom being divided between them." (_3ll anything be harder than this—to go once in three years through half the cathedral towns of the land, and to consume six good wholesome forenoons in holding as many visitations during that period ! 'Tis " a load would sink a navy." We are not surprised that his Grace of Armagh has found it necessary to go to the Continent, after the fatigues of the London season, in order to recruit his strength a little, before he enters upon so onerous an undertaking. But we trust he will be able to go through it with the spirit of a martyr. POST.—Some of the beaten Whig-Radical party ap pear even now to labour under the hallucination that they have exhibited considerable virtue as politicians, and have done great things for the country. This is most preposterous. Perhaps they will lay claim by and by to honesty of principle and consistency of action. When people lose their senses, whether from defeat or any other cause, there is no limit to the extravagance of which they may be guilty. At the present moment they complain that we Conservatives give them no credit for their " great and glorious victories over ancient preju ciices and false principles of legislation." It is very true that we do not give them credit for any such thing, but the reason is that we are not aware of any such "great and glorious victories." We might 'suspect ourselves of want of observation or forgetfulness in respect of these illus trious deeds, were it not that we find ourselves by no means alone in our unconsciousness of their existence. Indeed, from all the inquiries we have made it results that no set of persons in this nation, save the obstinate placeholders thems.elves, and the Parliamentary minority which still adheres to them, has any notion that the Whig-Radicals have done what they lay claim to. They alone are conscious of their own merits and achieve ments, which is rather an inconvenient thing in a nation where so much depends upon public opinion. It is net the Conservative party merely which refuses to give them credit for " glorious victories," but the Parliament also. The House of Commons which was in their favour gradually acquired a distaste for their management, and finally reprimanded them. Then they persuaded them selves that the people mere still charmed with them, and they appealed to the people. But it turned out that the people at large liked them even less than the House of Commons, and had no objection to tell them so by acts the most unequivocal. Does it never occur to the Whig- Radicals that, if they really have achieved these' glo rious victories," it is the very strangest thing that ever happened in political history that no one except them selves seems to be thankful for these victories, or even to be in the slightest degree aware of them ?

Differences of opinion - perience of its truth w ill be have on vario us occas i ons a t h re atened a schism amon g the Tory brows ing (if, indeed, they could be said t party while have been o browsing b at all) on the barren common of the Opposition but dissensions which had no other ground th e a n n eli th e is ; could always, with an ordinary measure of tact, be speedily healed. Vastly different is the ease when the substantialities of office are about to be distributed. The eagerly-expectant candidate and clamourer for place, who conceives—and what needy Tory, from Lord Lynd hurst down to Mr. Peter Borthwick, does not conceive?— that he has a preferable claim, a pre-eminent right to a share of whatever good things may be going, and yet is .un successful in his suit—may possess a marvellous facility at forgiving any apostacy from Tory principles on the part of the Right Hon. Baronet ; but to spurn the sup plicant of place from his door, or even civilly to refuse to assist him, he will find to be a very different matter. The sin of conceding Catholic emancipation, fearful as was its magnitude, is nevertheless a pardonable sin ; the crime of r_pealing the Test and Corporation Acts, though a crime of the deepest die, may not only be, but has been forgiven ; but the guilt of lending a deaf ear to the ear nest entreaties of supplicants for place, is precisely, in Tory ethics, the unp a rd o n a ble sin. What, then, can the proximate Premier do in this extreme emergency? He who could satisfactorily solve the problem might well beregard ed as a man of transcendant wisdom, Sir Robert himself must be painfully puzzled on this point. The very magnitude of his majority only adds to the number, and aggravates the nature of his perplexities. Had the majority been but half a dozen or a dozen, the unfortunate gentleman would have found himself in a far better position than he actually is with his vaunted majority of ninety; for as in that case the number of men di can t p e ti ti oners for place would have been considerably l ess , th ere would ave been a corresponding decrease in the disappoint- I ment.

In a word, his measures of improvement will be founded upon large and comprehensive views of statesmanlike policy, and not hastily taken up and as hastily avowed, to secure the wavering attachment, or influence the flagging zeal of mere partisans. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—A correspondent, who writes under the sig nature of " Fair May" seems to have taken quite a wrong view of our remarks on the minor Stock-exchange, founded by the " shut out," as if the difference between them and the members of the " House" were merely that between large and small dealers ; or, to use his own illustration, between wholesale and retail. Now, the ob jection to the inferior class of stock jobbing is not to the quantity sold, but to the species of security which forms the commodity of the market. The smallest quantity of Consols, for instance, can be purchased on the Stock exchange. to suit the convenience of the " retail dealer" (if that expression may be used) ; but certain stocks have become so much disgraced, that the committee of the Stock-exchange have altogether refused to quote them. These are, however, sought after by certain petty specu lators, who are distinguished from the members of the house by their total disregard for the worth of the secu rities they deal in, or the dishonesty which may have given rise .to them. The comparison should properly be between the respectable grocer and the dealer in da maged tea, and not between the traders in large and small quantities. ADVERTISER.—The letters received to-day from Germany add very little to what has already transpired respecting the failure of the Vienna bankers ; but some of the advices before us state that it had been discovered that there was a 'deficit in the firm of Guy Muller of one million of florins as far back as 1839. This had given rise to expressions of indignation among a few of the wealthy depositors with the firm, and most of the noble families and annuitants were reducing the balances they hold at their different bankers, from a feeling of appre hension engendered by their stoppage. The Empress Dowager, it appears, will be a loser to some extent. The readiest way of accounting for the unfortunate money crisis in Vienna, is said to be the political occurrences of 1840 and the July treaty, and the enormous depreciation in the value of the Austrian State securities and shares that has been going on ever since, under the fear of a war, and which, from that period to the 15th instant, is estimated to have been not less than thirty-one millions of florins. This, therefore, was so much capital taken out of circulation in the brief space of twelve months, and it may be some time before a reprise occurs to any thing like such an extent. HERALD.—Accounts from Graham's Town to the 13th May have been received. Great exertions were making by the inhabitants for the general prosperity of the colony ; the necessity for the means of quick com munication with Cape Town, was not only acknowledged, but plans were in progress for accomplishing so desira ble an end. The loss of the unfortunate steamer, the Hope, was an additional incentive to exertion, and upon the proposal for purchasing another being made public, 6,0001. were subscribed in two days. It was considered that . one would not be sufficient, but that _two at least would be required, and that scarcely twelve months would elapse when the town of Albany would be brought within four days of the Cape, and less than two months from England. The capabilities of the country would, by the immigration of labourers (the want of whom was severely felt) be fully developed, and and another rich colony be added to the empire. • POST.—The altered state of the weather, which has at length become all that the most anxious farmer could desire for the ripening of his crops, has of course pro duced a sensible depression at the Corn Exchange. No positive decline was admitted to-day, the rates of this day week being again demanded, though in few in stances, if any, submitted to. But, if the weather should only be equally propitious for a few weeks to come, it cannot happen but that the quotations must go down ra pidly. Such a movement will be promoted in a very great degree by the knowledge possessed by the public of the fact that importations upon rather a large scale are sure to take place. ETON COLLEGE-ELECTION MONDAY. ETON, JULY 26.—This morning a large party of dis tinguished personages partook of a splendid dejeuner at the residence of the Rev. Dr. Hawtry, the head master, in the college, and at 11 o'clock the numerous party re paired to the upper school-room, which had been pre pared for the occasion. - Previously to the commencement of the speeches, the Rev. the Provost addressed those present, and after alluding to this being the 400th anniversary, stated, that in consequence of that circumstance, the holydays would be extended to an additional week. This announcement was received with loud cheers by the Etonians. The speeches were delivered in the following order : 1. Pacavius Calavius, Livius Luxmore, ma. 2. Othello, Shaltspeare ... Hulse. 3. Germanicus, Tacitus ... Ainslie. 4. Henry V., Shakspeare ... Johnson, K.S. 5. Ulysses, Ovidius Buckland. 6. On the French Revolution, Burke Hallam. 7. Antony, Shakspeare Arundell. 8. In Mortem Agricola, Tacitus Baxley, ma. 9. Ravages of the Carnatic, Burke... Monck, K.S. 10. Prometheus, Aschylus ... Dodd. 11. On his own Death, Swift ... Smith Pigot, ma. 13. Cassius.

Charolois, Massinger Amongst those who particularly distinguished them selves 'Smith Pigot, ma., Monck, K.S., Hallam, and Kay, may be especially noticed. The whole, however, per formed their respective tasks with great credit, and were much applauded. This evening the election of scholars on the founpa tions of Eton and Kings College, Cambridge, will be proceeded with. Since 1838 there has been a progressive increase in the number of students at Eton. In that year the num bers on the " election list" were 507 ; in 1839, 545 ; in 1840, 590 ; and this year there are 635—being an in crease of 128 during the past three years, and o f 45 since last " election," this time t we l vemont h . The following arrangements have been made for the commencement, at the termination of the vacation in September : The Collegers will return on the 8;1 ; the lower school on the 10th ; the lower boys in the upper school on the 11th ; the fifth form (in two divisions) on the 14th and 16th ; and the sixth form on the 18th. RICHARD SAVAGE AND BUR RIDGE THE SCHOOLMASTER. Mr. Burridge was at home, and at leisure,—for it was half-holiday,—and sent word out that we were to be ad mitted to his presence. When we entered the apartment, we beheld a gigantic figure reclined almost horizontally in a very large chair. He was smoking a pipe, and had, it would seem, recently divested himself of an enormous rusty periwig, which lay clutched in his huge fist upon the table. He regarded us in silence for some moments through the smoky veil by which he was surrounded, and then rising leisurely he laid aside his pipe, and came towards us. 44 This letter, Sir," said Ludlow, " will explain for what purpose I wait upon you," handing it to him. " A letter, eh!" said Burridge, whipping a pair of spectacles out of his waistcoat pocket, and jerking them on the bridge of his nose. " Let's see—Francis Bur ridge, Esquire—Esquire!" and he gave a loud whistle. " Ah! well ; —very good—just so," he added, at inter vals, as he hastily perused the letter. 44 This tells me," said he, holding the letter from him, " that I am to take this little fellow—what's his name? Richard Freeman—under my care, under my tuition." " Yes, Sir," said Ludlow. " And that he is to remain with me during the ho lidays ?" Ludlow bowed. "That implies that the lad's parents are dead : is it so?" " I believe they are," replied Ludlow, hesitating. " Ah! Not certain?" said Burridge. "Perhaps there's more life than death in the matter, eh?" " I really do not know," replied Ludlow, disconcerted. " Ah! well!" returned Burridge. " Who is Henri etta Mason?" " My lady," replied Ludlow, " the Lady Mason." " The Lady Mason! Oh! I beg her pardon," cried Burridge, with a low bow, " that's it : I always bow to a title." He rang the bell. " Bring some wine," as the servant entered. Ludlow began to plead headache, but was stopped by the familiar nd of I3urridge upon his mouth. " Now, Sir„' said he, when the wine was put on the table, " I crave pardon—your name?" " Ludlow, Sir." " Well, :Nil. Ludlow," and he slapped his brawny leg. " let us drink to the speedy progress of our young stu dent; and we'll give him a glass too, to damp him down, as printers do their paper, before he goes into the press. Let us hove he'll contain something good when he comes out of it.' " I hope so, indeed," said Ludlow, earnestly, setting down his glass. " Will you forgive me?" he resumed, after a pause, " but I trust—l feel no doubt—indeed, I know that he will be treated kindly. I am, Sir,"—and poor Ludlow smiled with a kind of mournful humility— " I am greatly attached to him." Mr. Burridge raised his black brows, and gazed into the meek countenance of the other. " well —you like him," he remarked at length. " Why, yes, we shall treat him kindly enough, I dare say. We keep a school, Ludlow, not a slaughter-house ; we are not cannibals, but Christians ; men, not monsters. But, Sir," and here he shook his finger in the air, " Mr. Shakspeare, an author strangely neglected in these our times, albeit the greatest genius that ever appeared in England, except Milton, and in all, save sublimity, he surpasses even that stupendous genius, —Mr. Shakspeare has proposed this question : Treat a man according to his deserts, and who shall escape whipping?' Now, Sir, if that be true, and I believe it is," winking his eye knowi ng ly, an d pointing with. his thumb over to me, " d'ye think the boys ought to ge'scot-ffee,e h?" " No, indeed," said Ludlow. "Do you hear what Mr. Burridge says, Richard? You must take care." " So he will," cried Burridge, putting on his periwig. " The truth is, the temples of Greece and Rome are bosomed high in tufted trees,'—birch trees, Mr. Lud low,—and I never knew a boy yet who could find his way to those temples without going through those trees. But come, Dick, take leave arm- friend : he is anxious to go."—" Richard Savage," in Bentley's Miscelhny for July. - _------ - ABERDEEN, JULY 20.—last week there was an uncommon take of salmon in this vicinity, during three days ; the stake nets alone produced above 2,000 fine fish.
