We have copied in our Summary a few of the remarks which the Herald has judiciously made on the case of Mr. CAVE, a bankrupt, and need not repeat them here; but we shall make a further extract as strengthening some observa tions of our own on Tuesday. Besides adverting to the respectability of CAVE, our Contemporary said of the landlords, — The country squires, whose forefather s were p r o u d t o be at the he a d of the surrounding yeomen, now vie with the landed aristocracy, and our merchants outrival the peer in "west -end" expenditure. ... We almost daily read of o ld - established private bankers stopping payment, and on their stoppages it is discovered that for years they have been insolvent, and trading on their credit; we hear of loans to the extent of nearly a million sterling being taken up by some noble then on the secnrity of their hereditary posses sions from corporations, and of the bills and borrow. ing at an usance defying all recompense of others of the aristocracy, apparently the proprietors of parishes and almost counties ; we have actually seen a Peer, the creation of whose title is almost lost in antiquity, in extreme old age figure in the Gazette as a bankrupt; and we know that men whose incomes ought to be fixed and fully adequate to their support--including clergymen of reputation —enter into the wildest spe culations, wholly ignorant of business, and become partners with profligate schemers and needy adven turers, for the purpose of deriving profits, the large ness of which is wholly incompatible with safety, pru dence, or honesty. City capitalists have of late years be come acquainted with the paper, as it is technically termed, of persons whose names ought to be known in that quarter of London by report only; men of family, rank, and title, have lent their names to bubble com panies and schemes, for the sake of more easily and pro fitably dealing in shares and scrip, and for the fees of directors' attendances; and there is no speculation, how ever absurd, that has not found support from those who wish to make unreasonable profit of their remaining capital, or to support those appearances which their in comes have long ceased to warrant. Poverty is a disease almost universally prevalent even in the higher classes ; yet families immersed in society continue to waste their substance in its follies and ex cesses ; and men of the world will sacrifice their honesty sooner than lay down their carriages, or cease to give extravagant entertainments, and, rather than relinquish their conventional importance, will resort to borrowing until they are compelled to expatriate themselves, and uselessly or wickedly fret the remainder of their lives in second-rate continental capitals, or gambling or disre putable watering-places. Land, or, what amounts to nearly the same thing as possession, power over land, is rapidly passing into the hands of millionaires, and the influence formerly possessed by an hereditary aristo cracy, full of kindly feelings to the poor, is silently as signed to the mere owners of money. This is not an inaccurate picture of the legal extortioners. They cannot keep together what they exact. A curse follows their plunder, and in starving the people they have impove rished themselves. Like other dishonest per sons they squander more than they steal; and their exertions only encourage extravagance, and add to their excesses and their difficulties. Turning from the Herald to the Post, we find the great champion of the Church yes-. terday sanctioning this statement: — Men talk of the exaggerated wealth of the Church in England. Their allegations are false, and we fear it must be added, wilfully and knowingly false ; but were they to the letter true, would tens of millions annually be too dear a price to pay for such a blessing as this is ? At the investigation into Mr. CAVE'S affairs, however, Sir C. WILLIAMS said—" I observe that 121,0001. was advanced by a very mo derate number of the clergy," to which the bankrupt assented. That a very moderate number of the clergy have a sum of 121,000/. to embark in mining speculations, in order to get ten per cent. on the advance, shows anything but poverty in the priesthood, whatever it may indi cate in the Church, a term which is held to in clude the shorn flock as well as the shearing pastor. Not only are the priesthood rich, but they are animated with the spirit of cupidity. They are led away, as the Herald says, by the unlawful desire of lucre to forget the sacred duties of their holy calling. They set about getting money cunningly, like usurers. One of theta whispered to another, " CAVE is a clever fellow, he will give you ten per cent. for your money ;" and to get the ten per cent. they con fided in CAVE, and lost 121,0001. The clergy and the landlords are the guides of society, they set the fashion in morals as well as in manners and dress ; and when we find cupidity and extrava gance stimulating them and involving them in difficulties, how can we be surprised that men of a lower rank follow their example ? "It is aw ful to think," said Sir C. \VILLIaMs, " how so many persons of education, rank, and station in society, could have been deluded, by their own infatuation alonc, of the enormous sum of 365,0001." Mr. CaVE's own words, as they were given in The Sun yesterday, are an illustration of the conduct of the respectable classes : " I was," said Mr. Cave, "for many years in the War-office at a good salary ; and about the year 1829 or 1830 I first commenced my view of entering into mining speculations, and Lad property to begin with to the amount of 12,0001. or 13,0001., partly in cash and partly in an estate mortgaged to a Mr. Al'llonnel for about 20,0001. I never put out any flaming pro spectuses nor seductive advertisements to induce any party whatsoever to join me, nor did I ever ask any one to join me who actually did so. On the contrary, all those who did join me were actually volunteers.' I col lected 300,0001. in subscriptions in the course of five or six years, and many persons, from whom I now hold letters in my hand, pressed me to allow them to subscribe to the speculation." He was not contented, it appears, with his good salary, hut lie rushed into mining specula tions, as other gentlemen, with good salaries, rush into stock speculations ; and, less unfortu nate than others, he appears only in the Bank rupts' Court, while they will be summoned to the bar of the Old Bailey. These are specimens of the respectable classes, to whom alone the Legislature will confide legislative or electoral power, and for whose especial advantage all the institutions of society are framed. When such is their private character, and such are their pursuits, can it be surprising that legislation partakes largely of their rapacity and disho nesty ? The stream cannot rise higher than its source, and neither can the Legislature be more pure than the noblemen, squires, clergymen, and middle classes who compose it, or are instru mental in forming it. Liverpool has long been a Tory town, and re turns two Tory Members to Parliament. It is both fanatical and corrupt. In it Mr. M'NEILE and Tory gold have paramount influence. We see less cause, therefore, for surprise than regret at the municipal elections at Liverpool having turned out favourable to the Tories, though it makes a glorious boast for the Ministerial Jour nals. In other municipalities the Tories lose. When the Whigs were in power, the Tory Jour nals continually pointed out the influence of the Government in the municipal elections, as suffi cient to explain the defeat of the Tories. Now that they have got that influence on their side, they say nothing of it ; but it has not sufficed to save them in several places from being disgrace fully routed. We cannot allow them to forget that all the influence of the Government, which is considerable, in all the towns of the empire, though it has served them at Liverpool, where the dependents of Government are numerous, has not served them at Canterbury, Nottingham, Kendal, Manchester, Birmingham, &c., &c. In the same page, and almost the same co lumn, in which the Tory triumph at the muni cipal elections was most loudly boasted of, there was a deal of sorrow and indignation that Mr. O'CONNELL was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin. It was described as nearly the grossest insult that could be offered to the Protestants of Ire land, and indeed to the Protestants of the em pire, including the women of England. Dublin at present returns two Orangemen to Parlia liament, and it cannot he said that Mr. O'CoN NELL'S election confirms the opinion practically expressed by the election of Messrs. WEST and GROGAN. For our parts, we are quite ready to admit that Liberal opinions are not so preva lent as we would wish them ; at the same time, they are rapidly spreading, and penetrating very deeply. Though the Tories may " regulate their sentiments" by an implicit faith in some oracu lar Standard, the Liberals, from their opinions being new, necessarily form them " by inquiry and conviction ;" and everywhere earnest opi nions, hostile to the Tory policy, are the result of inquiry. Knowing such opinions to be just, we have not the smallest doubt that they will ultimately triumph, whatever may be the fate of the Liverpool municipal election. It appears a considerable quantity of gun powder is kept in the Tower, and we learn trotn the late disaste r, that sufficient p recauti ons are not taken in that fortress to guard against acci dent. Ladies, we are told, assisted with their own fair hands to roll the barrels of powder into the moat. If the powder were to explode, it would cause immense mischief. The neighbourhood round the Tower is densely peopled, and the Thames abreast of it, and immediately above and below it, is generally densely crowded with ship ping. The Tower itself, in fact, is a crowded town, a large part of which is closely packed with habitations. Phips, people, houses, would be destroyed to a great extent were the Tower magazine to explode. Besides the objections mentioned by a Morning Contemporary to having the national records placed over a magazine, we may say that it is very unusual to have a mass o icona .ustibles col- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1841• lected in the midst of a commercial population.l We see no use in it. It is not convenient to supply the troops about the Palace at the West end, for it must pass through a crowded city*to be conveyed to them. They could be as readily supplied from Woolwich. The same place is in finitely more convenient for embarking and landing all kinds of arms, as well as ammunition, to be sent away by sea. As a depot, the Tower is no longer adapted; it is not safe from fire; and to continue to use it as a magazine is extremely dangerous to the inhabitants of the eastern part of the metropolis, and to the vessels in the Thames. As a place of defence against invading foreigners, the Tower is completely useless. In the present condition of London, and we pre sume the landlords do not contemplate reducing it to its narrow boundaries in the twelfth century, the Tower, as a means of defence for the City, is wholly useless. Tilbury Fort, which has more pretensions, is no longer relied on. If it be re quired to have a military fort in the eastern part of the metropolis to overawe the populace, a bet ter site could be chosen than the Tower of Lon don. We are inclined to recommend the citizens, therefore, to take up the subject, and procure some alteration in the future destination of that ancient fortress. If it is to be preserved on account of its anti quity and traditionary associations, let all that is really ancient, and which has not been touched by the fire, be retained ; and let it be exclusively appropriated to the preservation of the jewels of the Crown and the public records, under the charge of a few troops capable of holding it against a mob ; but let it not be henceforward considered depot of arms and ammunition, and, above all, let us no longer have a powder maga zine in the heart of a populous city. The two characters of a place for the preservation of the regalia and the public records, and of a place tbr storing up guns, muskets, and powder, are wholly incompatible, at all times and places, and particularly so in the spot where they have hitherto been united. We apprehend that all which is valuable in the Tower, on account of its antiquity and associa tions, occppies a small space, and the huddled buildings about the walls, instead of being pre served as either ornamental or u3eful, ought to be pulled down as a disgrace. They remind us of the stalls and sheds we have sometimes seen built up on the outer walls of a Cathedral. The present destruction of the ordnance part of the establishment seems to us a favourable time for pressing such considerations on the citizens and on the Government. To both we venture to sug gest, that the Tower ought no longer to be used as a fortress, or an ordnance depot, and that both should, in their respective stations, take measures to alter its destination. The Govern ment should provide accommodation for the arms at Woolwich— the citizens should memoralise the Government to remove from the midst of the City a powder magazine which is there only dan gerous and no longer useful. By the packet ship Rochester, Captain WOOD nousr, arrived on Wednesday night at Liver pool, we have received New York Papers to the 17th ult., being one day later than the Journals brought by the steamer Acadia. They con tain no news of any interest. The following is the latest intelligence of the state of the New York Money Market : NEW YORE MONEY MARKET, OCT. 15. The sales at the Stock Board, to-day, have been to a fair extent, and prices, with the exception of the United States Bank, which declined per cent., generally ini proved; Delaware and Hudson i; Harlem 1 ; Long Island ; Stouington i; Mohawk -1-. United States Bank bills are selling at a discount of 45 per cent. The liabilities of the Southern Life and Trust are bought at N. Sistares, 13, Wall-street, at 45 cents. on the dollar. This has been bill-day for the Boston steam packet, which takes her departure to-morrow for Liverpool. The supply of bills has not been large, and the events to which we have alluded on former occasions still conspire to render buyers extremely cautious as to the character of the bills they take. Those drawn by known houses against actual shipments of coin are most in favour, and command the full rate of 10 per cent., at which price shipping specie to draw against is a profitable operation. The amount going forward fur this purpose will be about $500,000. The rates on the Continent are less firm than at the last packet. If the Southern Banks resume with the opening of the crop, the bills drawn against produce would command more confidence, and the shipping of specie would soon cease to be profitable, and it would find its way south for circulation, instead of remaining a burden to the New York Banks. In State Stocks no material change has taken place. The Government loan, for which proposals were issued, being $2,000,000 of the $12,000,000 authorised at the late Session, has been.partly taken at par for a six per cent. Stock, in small lots here and at Boston. It is very heavy upon the market, in consequence of the want of a vent for stock abroad. The State of New York issued . proposals for 1150,000 Six per cent. Stock, to supply a deficiency in the Safety Fund, but can obtain no offers. This is partly the result of a combination among tho agents of the foreign houses to compel the Federal Go vernment to authorise 7 per cent. at the next session. The following is a table of prices of stocks as compared with former packet days : RATE OF SALES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE. 32,000 Indiana D.

Tuesday being the festival f All Souls, and a close holiday in all Roman Cat:_ 1 olic countries, only two of the daily journals appea: the Presse and the Courrier ii.a,2ed in Paris, „ - ,/s. The former, which is a Ministerial paper, „pi -,..sses great satisfaction at the acquittal of M'LEon, deprecates the thought of a war between two great nations, whose mutual interests are inter woven with the preservation between them of the most friendly relations. The Courrier Fran cais, which is the organ of a faction hostile to England and to peace, is indignant at the report of the King of the FRENCH having offered to act as a mediator between the two countries. We believe that the CITIZEN-KING has made no such offer; but were he to do so he would be only repaying a debt of good neighbourhood, which France owes to England. Nor can we regard Royalty in a more glorious light, or one better calculated, to elicit the approbation of all good men, than in that of interposing its mediation to maintain the peace of the world. As warriort, Kings are the curses of their species ; it is only as conservators of the peace of nations that mera owe to them fealty, allegiance, and reverence. General O'Doxri-ELL narrowly escaped being delivered up to ESPAETERO by the soldiers whom_ he seduced and betrayed. The house in which he , took refuge was surrounded by the troops, and. he only escaped disguised as a common soldier. For two hours was he compelled to walk down the bed of a stream N ,-hich marks the limits of the Spanish frontier. _Tiad he been. taken, his death was inevitable. MONTES DE; OCA died with great firmness. In was found the draft of a letter, coi. pocket. viaining with great bitterness of having been aba udo.ed without instructions, money, or ammuoition. Madame MuNoz was more solicitous about her dollars, than about the brave men whom she corrupted, and abandoned to a dishonourable death. The Avignon diligence was about to start a few even ings since from Sorgues , for Orange, when the passen gers, 15 in number, who had found the water from the floods previously up to the axletrecs, expressed their un willingness to proceed, but were overpersuadoi by the bondueter. Th e y h a d not gone more than the distance of two gu ns h ots f rom the town when the water entered the eeach, and t h ose i nside called upon the postilion to stop. The conductor, however ersisted is going on until the horses had lost all footing , and were actually float. The postili on w i s h ed to turn round, and go back into Sorgues. The danger of this was too apparent to the travellers, who fortunately were all men, and they obliged him to take the horses off, while some of them mounted to the to h p , o rs f e t s h , e a c n o d ach,s othersom some attempt rein wading through the w a t er . After a time t s h om ern e s g el o r t e o s n by the their cries were heard by an i nn k eeper on the roa d, w h o i e n d e d t o i n save , came with his two sons in a boat, and by their exertions at length rescued the whole party. A quarrel took place, a few days ago, at a public house at Clervoix, near Compiegne, between some sol diers of the 7th Regiment of Hussars and some civilians. One of the soldiers, having called for a glass of eau sucree, complained that sufficient sugar was not given to him, and the altercation between him and the waiter becoming violent, the civilians interfered, on which the Hussars attacked them with draw swords, and they de fended themselves with sticks. The guard was called in and separated the combatants, but not before some severe wounds had been inflicted. One of the civilians, a boatman, was so much injured by a sword wound in his side, that he was dead before surgical assistance could be procured. Five of the soldiers were arrested and conveyed to the military prison, the Abbaye, in Paris, to await their trial by a Court-martial. 4 The Courrier de Grenoble mentions the following as amongst the results of the recent inundations :—" Ten houses have fallen at Vienne, the bridge of la Gabetieres which was destroyed by the last inundation and provi sionally replaced, has been again carried away, and a foot bridge has had the same fate. The route of Beaurepaire and the route Royale, with the Rampe des Croza-de-Re ventin, have been rendered impassable, and the bridge of Chanas which formed part of it has been carried away. An inn at a short distance from the bridge fell down, and an ostler was buried in the ruins." A letter from Tarascon, 2Gth ult.,represents the Rhone to have made wide breaches in its banks, and so inun dated the country that all communication is cut off, the new-sown seeds washed out of the ground, and all hopes of the next year's crops destroyed. The waters have in vaded several parts of the town, and a regiment of chas seurs has been forced to remove from its barracks to Nismes. It was expected that the whole town would be inundated, and the inhabitants, as well as the country people, were in a state of despair. A letter from Tours says that the Loire has become so swoln, that, on the 30th ult., it had risen 11 feet 5 inches above the usual water-mark. The wind was from the north, and if it remained in that quarter no serious consequences were to be feared. BOURSE--Pmus, TUESDAY, Nov. 2. P !rat Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price. Price.

The Lord Mayor elect, Mr. Alderman Wilson, Sir George Car rol, and a numer of other civic functionaries, were present. The examination, which will be found at length in another part of the paper, led to some important disclosures. At the conclu sion, the prisoner was remanded till Wednesday week.

Tuesday being the feast of All Souls, only two Jour nals were published in Paris. One of these—the Presse— congratulates Great Britain and the United States on the acquittal of M'Leod, and denounces as most suicidal to both the idea of a war between them. The Presse advocates our true interests in a far more patriotic spirit than the Times or the Morning Herald. The French Minister of Commerce and Agriculture has nominated the following persons to be the Members of the Council of Agriculture:—Duke Decazes, M. Girod de l'Ain, Marquis de Cambis, Marshal Clausel, Baron Charles Dupin, Count de Gaspirin, Count de Rambuteau, Baron Seguier, M. Beaumont, General Bugeaud, Count Dangeville, Messrs. Darblay, Desjobert, de Gasparin, de Lamartine, Lemaire, Duke de Marmier, Messrs. Pisca tory, Sannac, Tourret, de Tracy, Vuitry, J. Boulay, C. Beauvais, Behague, Bella, Baron Buche, Dailly, Mathieu Dombasle, Viscount Hericart de Thury, Julien Lefevre, de Mirbel, Baron Silvestre, Soulange Bodin, Trochu, Yvart, Count Angles, Count de Bonneval, Count de Caumont, Oscar Leclerc, Lefebvre Sainte-Marie, Leroy of Bethune, Duke de Liancourt, de Mornay, de Morny, Niviere, Pommier, Victor Rendu, Rieffel, Viscount do Romanet, Baron de Tocqueville, and M. Villemorin. General O'Donnell had a narrow escape into France from his own soldiers, who, having a suspicion or his in tentions, determined to deliver him up to Espartero as a rebel and a traitor, and to insist , upOn his being shot. The Moniteur Beige states that several merchants from Constantinople are now in Brussels making large pur chases of all kinds of goods, clothes, cutlery, glass, tools, nails, &c., which they are about to send to the East. These merchants have visited England and France, and regard Belgian manufactures as equal to those of these kingdoms. The same Journal states that had the conspirators, half Orange, half radical as they were, marclied into Brussels in the middle of daylight, with their guns and flags, the citizens would have received them as a band of masqueraders. So little did the War Minister care for them, that he went disguised as one of them to see the shells cast, and gave directions for improving them that they might be sufficiently valuable for a place in the na tional arsenal. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning`Herald, after enumerating the evils of machinery, and comparing the manufacturing with the agricultural districts, giving of course the moral supe riority to the latter, goes on to observe :--" Mr. Cob chin and his associates have converted free trade into a question of life or death to the landed interest ; and yet theffrofess to be astonished that the agriculturists should compafe the moral and physical results of their occu pation with the evil consequences of over-stimulated mannfactures ; and their organs write dull and heavy lectures on the abstract truths of political economy , which no one denies or' controverts. With all mode rate men the subject has now become a question of com promise, and the greatest enemies of peace and future prosperity are the wild and perambulatory spouters who infest and disturb the Manufacturing districts." — If by the word " compromise" the Herald means that the important questibn of free trade is to be settled, so as to suit the interests,of the Monopolists, then we say that such a question will admit of no compromise. Trade must be free in reality. I, A nominal or a partial freedom will be wholly unavailing. Of what use is it to knock off the fetters from a man's legs, if you keep his arms fast tied behind him ? Those who advocate free trade do so from a conviction that it will be most decidedly and last ingly beneficial to the country ; and thus thinking, they should allow of no compromise. The very circumstance that a Tory Journal suggests something of the sort should be quite enough to put the Reformers on their guard. In an article suggested by the returns of the municipal ' elections, the Times says:----" What beconies of the mi serable allegation, that Sir Roberti Peel's Government is only the creature of a landed aristocracy? Why, it is emphatically the people's own Geiernment, chosen, ra titiEd, and confided in by the overw'helmi'ng majority .of all ranks in the nation. The conviction that the Right lion. Baronet, notwithstanding the ruinous condition in which the Whigs have handed over the country to his care, will in due time restore it to a prosperous condi tion, is as strong among the middle classes, who pre ferably commit their municipal interests to Conservative councillors, as among the high-born gentry who rally around him in the national Legislature."— It is not respect for, or confidence in, the Tories-that returned them in such force to Parliament. at the late elections, but a dislike on the part of the people—natural enough, we must confess—to the halting, dubious, timid, inconsistent policy of the Whigs. Any chaitge, argued John Bull, must be for the better, for it can scarcely be for the worse ; and it was this impression that induced him to give his old enemies the Tories one more chance, on the honourable principle of fair play. Well, they are now on their trial ; and the result will, we appre hend, be such as to convince John Bull that questionable as,was at times the policy of the Whigs, that of their successors is a thousand times worse. _ . 45 11 38 '2 38 1 38 6 39 7 39 8 The Post says, in reference to Mr. O'Connell's election to the Dublin Mayoralty :—" The letter of our Dub Correspondent affords ground for apprehension that the new I t igd Mayor of Dublin was not quite sincere when he declared to his brotber corporators that, as Lord Mayor,l he would have nothing to do with Repeal, and that, fot , the year, he would do nothing, not even eat, drink, or talk, but as Lord Mayor. Perhaps his Lord ship, who has long been accustomed to use two different styles of expresion, and to,develope two different trains of thought, on the opposite sides of St. George's Chan nel, map think fit to adopt the same flexible policy in respect td the Corporation of Dublin and the mob of that city::,His Lordship is now in a position in which he cannot help advancing the Conservative cause. If lie preferiti to do so by degrading the office which has' been bestOWed upon him, and the Corporation that , conferred rather than by another and more respect. 7 ,; able course; we can only say, so much the better." — r It must be confessed that Mr. O'Connell is in a queer:. position just now. In his official robes, as Chief Ma-j, gistrate, he is confidently expected to do his best to maintain the unity of the Kingdom ; in his capacity of Repeal agitater, it is expected with equal confidence, that he will do his best to overturn that unity. The Magistrate and the Agitator combine to form a truly Irish concord and congruity in his person. O'Connell, in his robes at the Mansion-house, is as different from O'Connell in the chair of the Repeal Association, as light from darkness. It must be the duty of the one to keep a wholeseme check on the vagaries of the other. In a word, the Lord Mayor must discountenance the Repeal agitator; and, if necessary, take him into custody! The following is from the Chronicle:—" Lord Stanley, though keld in less regard by the middle classes than -Sir Robert Peec.is a much greater favourite with his .party; and our readers cannot have forgotten the ques tion that was raised in pamphlets, ' Who shall rule us, Peel or Stanley?' And yet this Tory statesman, second only in importance in his party to the Premier, displayed An the face of Europe an ignorance which must excite ,oniversal astonishment. The people of the Continent do not know how statesmen are formed in aristocratical ,England. An over-grown schoolboy acquires at an university a superficial knowledge of the classics, and, from his social position, he obtains a familiarity with good English. On this stock, if he be ,a fluent speaker, he at once sets up for a statesman." — This is too much the case in aristocratic England. Many a Speaker in Parliament has set up for a statesman on the strength of an apt Latin or Greek quotation ; and. many a raw Etonian been looked up to as a future Pre- inier, because he has shown great facility in the manu., faeture of laexameters and pentameters. As for an tic, quairitance with - the real business of life; with the corn. , mercial relationWbf England; and all that goes to make the enlarged statesman, this is deemed beneath the notice. of an aspiring ydung aristocrat. Lord Stanley is one of the most intelligent of the school he belongs to; but it is a bad school, and - now more useless than ever. The WorceateF Chronicle contains the following re; marks:—" If any: fear of war may . be reasonably enter tained at the present moment, it is not on account ctf America, but of France that we should find ground (er it. The conduct of Louis Philippe in stirring up the late insurrection in Spain, that, by restoring the chief authority in that kingdom to the ex-Queen Regent Christina, ho might obtain from her the hand of her daughter i Lthe child-Queen, and a crown for his fourth son, marks him for a man who will stick at no means, however base and culpable, to aggrandise his family and extend his influence. No matter how dirty the paths to be trodden, if he set his mind upon gaining an end he will travel forward through the mire without heeding how closely it may stick to him." The Dublin Evening Post remarks as follows, on the subject of ' Mr. O'Connell's election to the Dublin Mayoralty He sought the office, we had been well persuaded, and the result has proved it, not from any vulgar motive respecting the rank it conferred, for to him such things are valueless ; but on account of the opportunity:i- which it would afford him of de monstratinglhat the best mode of removing all pre judices against Catholics, is to render them perfectly equal with -tie rest of their fellow-subjects —to give them the means of' exercising . power, in order to prove that they are incapable of abusing it. It was with these views that Mr. O'Connell undertook the onerous duties of Lord Mayor, and every sentiment which he uttered every opinion -he expressed—proved that he was ac tuated by the most laudable anxiety for the welfare of the citizens.'.' The Cheltenlutni Examiner, speaking on the question of the Irish - policy of Ministers, says t—" Notwithstand ing the thin veil of moderation, in which the new Pre mier has shrouded his Irish policy, and the cautiousness which the ()range regime has been hitherto administered, we believe, that next tx) the Corn-laws, Sir Robert will yet find that Ireland.is his chief difficulty.' We ground this opinion on the very nature of Irish Orangemen ; the bitter, persecuting, and we might almost add, blood thirsty spirit which ever actuates your true Protestant ascendancy Tory." MONEY—TRADE—COMMEIRCE. --- At the adjourned meeting of the Talacre Coal and Iron Company, held yesterday at the Adelphi, the report and accounts were referred back to a committee, and an adjournment made sine die, The new alterations just made by the Post-office are as follow :—The packets from Liverpool for North America will be once only in the month, instead of twice; and in future two mails will be despatched in November, and only one in March. The rate of postage to and from the province of Panama, or any place on the western coast of South America, are reduced from 2s. 3d. to Is. 2d., when not exceeding half an ounce ; 2s. 4d. when not exceeding an ounce, &c. The gun-making trade, both in London and-Birming ham, are looking out for good orders in consequence of the destruction of arms in the Tower ; the masons also, and other classes of labourers, expect to profit by the accident. Colonel Monroe Edwards, son of Ninian Edwards, who some years ago figured at Illinois as a political character, has been lately arrested at Philadelphia, hav ing obtained from two houses, by means of forged letters of credit, about 50,000 dollars in cash, 44,000 of which were recovered in his trunk at the time of arrest. In Bethnal-green, Spitalfields, and Shoreditch, out of 14,000 looms, 3,000 are entirely out of work, and the remaining 11,000 are only employed three-fourths of their time. COMMERCIAL REFORM. At a public meeting of the Stepney Anti-Corn-law Association, held at Mile-end-road on Wednesday evening, Mr. Sidney Smith intimated that steps were about to be taken to hold a conference of representatives from all the Anti-Corn-law Associations now formed in London and the country, at Manchester, at an early period, to determine on some specific, vigorous, and de cided movements, during the recess, and to prepare for the approaching meeting of Parliament. NAVA". AND MILITARY. The final irTaf of the flevasTa7u7n;teatit 7 frigate took place at Woolwich on Wednesday, with a cargo of 320 tons of coal on board, and 61 tons of water in cask ; she accomplished the measured mile against the tide in 5 minutes and 48 seconds ; and with the tide and against the wind in 4 minutes and 42 seconds, being nearly at the rate of 12 and one-fifth statute miles on the average per hour. Mr. Ewart, the chief engineer, ordered to report on the speed and efficiency of the,vessel, said, " he never timed any that could approach her in speed be fore ; she was decidedly the fastest vessel in her Ma- jesty's navy." LAW AND POLICE. Messrs. Cubitt, of Gray's Inn-lane, are the builders of the new Equity Courts, in Lincoln's Inn, and are under engagement to have the two Courts ready for the recep tion of the new Vice-Chancellors for the ensuing sittings after Michaelmas tern?. A mandamus was issued yesterday by the Court of Queen's Bench, directing the gaoler of the manor of Pomfret to give up the body of a prisoner of the name of Forster, who had died in the prison. The keeper had refused to deliver up the body on the ground that Forster was indebted to him for necessaries supplied while in gaol. The Police Commissioners have issued' in order for bidding the men on duty from entering public houses as spies. either in plain clothes, or by back-doors: W. 11. Mence, a messenger in the General Post-office, was brought up for further examination on the charge of stealing money-letters. Two cases against him wexe heard, and he was remanded on a third till the 24th inst., LITEIZATLY AND scnaNTxxixe. The library of the eminent Physician and Counsellor Stieglitz, which is rich in works relating to every branch of medical scienee, and which the Duke of Cambridge declared to be the brightest jewel in the Crown of Ha nover, is now to be sold in that kingdom by public auction. SPORTING. The Earl of Wilton has returned to Walmer Castle, which he leaves for Melton Mowbray, for the hunting season, at the close of the month. THEATRICAL. The officers of the Queen's Bays, quartered in Sheffield, are about to give a grand theatrical entertainment for the benefit of the distressed operatives of that town. We mentioned yesterday that an attempt was being made among the friends and admirers of the celebrated and now veteran tragedian, Charles Young, to induce him to return to the stage for a few evenings, for th purpose of enacting the must prominent of his histrionic characters. We believe we may also state that a similar request has been made to Charles Kemble. ounit---2 1 .11.s loNAn The Duke of Newcastle is expected to remain at Hafod until the, early part of next month. The Earl of Lincoln arrived in Poitman• square yes-, terday from an excursion in different counties, under taken fur the purpose of inspecting the state of her Ma jesty's woods and forests, preparatory to the introduction of new and extensive arrangements. A large party of distinguished fashionables are shortly expected on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Northum borland at Alnwick Castle. Lord W. Pelham Clinton leaves town in a few days for Vienna, having been appointed an attache to the new Ambassador. _ _ Lord Burghersh has not left town for Berlin, nor will he depart for ten days or a fortnight. The Earl of Westmoreland, and his daughter Lady Georgiana Fane, are still in Brightbn. His Lordship, although afflicted with the loss of sight, takes exercise on horseback, by availing himself of the privilege granted by the Queen of riding in the Royal stables. MISCELLANEOUS. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the Right Hon. Lord Ellenborough was sworn in as Governor-General of India. His Lord ship afterwards dined with the Directors at the London Tavern, where her Majesty's Ministers, and many other distinguished personages, were present. The calamitous losses by fire, which the country has of late experienced, no time or money can replace. They have been—the Custom House, the Houses of Parlia ment, the Royal Exchange, the two fires in York Min ster, Nottingham Castle, Plymouth Dockyard, and last the Tower. Besides these, there have been attempts to fire Westminster Abbey, Sheerness Dockyard, and the Old Church at Thirsk, in Yorkshire. The Duchess Maximilian, of Leuchtenberg, the Em -peror of Russia's daughter, was safely delivered of a Prin cess, at St. Petersburg'', on the 17th ult. Born on this day, in 1771, James Montgomery, the Sheffield poet, at Irvine, in Ayrshire, a county distin guished also as being the birth-place of Robert Burns. It is said that there are now almost as many wooden pavements in the streets of London, as there are wooden heads in the Cabinet. _ _ _ A robbery has , taken place at one of the principal hotels in Brighton. Colonel Fludyer had placed in his cash-box notes of the Rutland Bank to the amount of 751., which have been extracted. The police are inves tigating the matter. A Devon Journal states that a maid-servant and a fellow-rustic, in a farmer's employ at Ashburton, having fallen in love with each other, the farmer, by way of disturbing one of their tete-a-teteg, disguised himself in a bullock's hide, with horns, and suddenly presented himself before the enamoured couple, so much to the •horror of the young man, that he rushed from the spot, and has not been billing and cooing since.—The farmer -did wisely to disguise himself in a bullock's hide, for had -he clothed himself in an ass's hide instead, the youth, so far from being horrified, would merely have regarded him as an animal of a congenial nature with his own, perhaps as a rival. RUMOURS OF THE DAY. It is said that the hand of the Princess Januaria, sister of the Emperor of Brazil, has been offered to Count lingo Mensdorff, the nephew of Duke Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg. It is well known that the Brazilian envoy has been six months in Europe in search of a consort for this princess. The examinatinn of Exchequer bills at the Bill-office is earried on with all possible despatch ; but in conse quence of the large number to be examined, it is thought the examination will occupy' the whole of this month.

At a few minutes past eleven o'clock, Alderman „ a son, accompanied by Mr. Hobler, entered the room , f the prisoner having been brought in, in custody Forester, the officer, re- Alderman WILSON inquired who commenced the P ceedings ? Mr. WADDINGTON said—l have the honour to slip scesl:ll on behalf of the Crown, to conduct the prosec ution; I understand that the only duty I have to perform to-dss): is, to fill up what has been very properly conside red a net_ce„o. sary part of the preliminary evidence. The pr i s oner has u c ' h charged under an Act entitled the first of William I,oe Fourth for uttering Exchequer bills knowing them be forged. By that Act, the punishment for suc h h ad offence was made capital, but the capital punishment n t been since repealed, and a subsequent Act attached b ee p, l only the punishment of transportation. It has o „ most justly objected, that before a party can be e mitted for trial, it must be shown that he uttered the% Exchequer bills knowing them to be forged, Th ere . l no doubt about that at all. However suspicious the bills,ll cumstances may be under which he uttered these been, and however extraordinary his conduct may . hav e a still that would not be more than a prima facie case, a c hl , - the fact must be proved by other evidence, a nd tha t " o lf the clearest possible evidence. At the present re f e r the the business it is not necessary for me to b , to the . statement made by the prisoner. I may bead, serve, generally, that he admitted that ne„, - ,i t h at various times, received from a person named °' - b - a t enormous_quantities of Exchequer bills. He admits t he pledged them for his own purposes — to earn' jeer stock speculations of his own, in which he says was to have a part. Even since the last issue of xr-,01 quer bills, in June last, he states that he received fro Smith Exchequer bills to the amount of 130,00 a, aria on one occasion, when Rapallo applied to him , 5 % 1 t , advanced him in_One sum Exchequer bills•to the amass upwards of 80,0901. That is the transaction a 3 reObst these bills, but unquestionably, unless it was proved some of these were 11,1se and counterfeit, the whole chsrt; falls to the ground: Now, I shall prove this, with ren d avery large number of these bills. Rapallo mentioned; o'r, he gave sonic of those . . bills to a person named Merr il ' i v who was to make advances upon them. It is reina r ht , able that he - never sold 'any of theinjor that no &et° would have been a very Ipeonvenient course for bin t b i a take; but he always pledged them for advances to e , e3 „ t e him to go on with his ruinous, outrageous, and 'r e , - in speculations (if they were not something wor s %, a foreign funds. However, lie gave some of these bilw. large quantity of them, to_ Marriner. I shall ca 1 1,,, Marriner before you, and he-will tell you that he l a .. an annual account of all the bills he received from „ e d pallo, and that he passed these to a person Its,--03 De Berckam in order to raise the money. De Ballo will prove that he received them, from Marriner. will produce these bills, and show that they came fr:nd Marriner, and it will then be shown by the clearest one f most incontestible evidence that these bills are everXteo of them forged to the amount of s i x teen. I hie necessary, and there is no doubt that it may be des i Can on some future occasion to carry the - Proof further, able be done ; but on the present occasion shall prov e , of 16 of these bills, amounting to the - enormous su; 5 ; 16,0001. were forged. The evidence .is of the 'lll5 are and simplest nature. You will hear how these 131 ' ; ',a made out at the Treasury-office. They - are lo w , s ,Th se ch under the provisions of an Act of Parliament , by bed, the Officeof the Auditor of the Exchequer was sb and the issue is now conducted by the -ComPte°,eere General, Lord Monteagle. To each of these bills I. t he is a counterfoil. The genuine bill is on the right, e il a ad sheet, and the counterfoil on the left—the-counter'°Therm genuine bill corresponding in number anddate. aria °n are three of these bills on one side of the.ifieet, tee the other side . the counterfoils numbered i:inter same way. BetWeee each• -- bill and the c 1. 00 g foil there is a long ' slip filled W 4h , ‘;l 7, ore, Hines different in each, and when the 0 ; taken off for circulation they are cut off in the the slip so as to leave a portion of the wavillg 111. ' 0 o .fir tached to the counterfoil, so that when the bill-is tiotlooo in, in order to know whether it be genuine a 1) inty being compared with the counterfoil, unles&-4 e ' l i ar dovetails and fits in shape and pattern, it is -iitetty i ll that is not genuine. But if it does not corresP°°- its number, date, and pattern, there is no doubt aN ut d to being a forgery. And you will find that with rega r re , some of the bills traced to Rapallo, they do not co spond with the pattern or the number. Tiiis.ig . e c h ell a i ll ese for in this way—the person who supplied him 31'4", these bills, and who seemed to think that he could -b bla me to an unlimited extent, had a quantity of Ol e • the mid( 0, paper on which the Exchequer bills are prin ted to l9 go usual and correct form, and if it be necessarY 0,00 into that part of the case I can show that SlPi t f h f e the orders to have more blanks than were necessarY.leo'hiecs Exchequer bills printed, in order to show that his rer ' was to commit a fraud. I shall call before you 1"-r•,, t hi§ ceval, of the Treasury, who will prove that it i 5 c t ' e hed signature, nor that of Lord Monteagle, that is n t i fl o ere to these bills. That evidence being given, wh at remains ? My Learned Friend, Mr.BOdkin. who t e ,ivea, for the prisoner,will take care that that evidence baf t er it properly and correctly, and he cannot conten d,to has been given, that there is not ample evidence to,ipec a Jury. But I shall go a little - further, for, With ~spec t he to several of the bills, I shall produce shape genuine bills, which do correspond, both ,in 4 thst and pattern, and you will bear in m in "' ssn icv there are never two genuine bills of t",,,,t number, and therefore there could be no doubt t''estiolt ethers are forged and counterfeit. It is not a i t t l i t : atelY now before us as to what opinion a jury ma/ come to under all the circumstances of the eas,,e , ;en e ," - pallo having been found dealing with these -r°" 0 0-lr", bills under circumstances of a very suspieionstha justice required that the case should undex'g ° 'b e e h ee ,: a minute and searching inquiry.
