We inserted, on Tuesday last, the Address of the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association, which contained a very serious charge against the landowners. They are said to be deliberately bent on reducing the number and influence of the manufacturing population by increasing their distress. One of the reasons assigned in support of the charge, was the impression made by the 4 . words which fell from Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the present Home Secretary, in the interview which the Anti-Corn-law deputation had with him some time ago." A member of the Mr. E DWARD deputa tion, BAINE S , j un . , has stepped forward to deny that the wor d s of Sir JAMES GRAHAM left any such impression on him, and in justice to Sir JAMES—for we like to 4j, ice to the worst of mankind, being then sure that h e is properly punished or rewarded —we are about to lay b e fore our readers the remarks of Air. E. B AINES, j un. Here they are : The part of thecoi2vasmrseasti,9 alludedtotoarose out of a remark m ade by Sir ,J...., would mai z e _ the effect that a .1 f the C"'"' the nation depen repew- 41 r countries for the supply of its necess ary dent upon oth e r hh e thought would ha highly dangerous.

He ad ed increase our dependence o n forei g n countries. The con versation being prolonged, the gentlemen forming the deputation endeavoured to sh ow that this mutual de pendence of nations upon each other was essential to the very exi s t ence o f f o reign commer ce, and that it involved no real d anger , f or th a t it would b England from receiving any supplieseimpossibie to prevent of corn which she might want and could pay for, especially if she were a regular customer of the corn-growing States, The ne cessity under which a country was, whose extent o f soil r emained the same, whilst its population ra pidly in creased, to seek foreign sulies of food, was also dwelt upon; and it w as added by g one of the deputation, that if tt hosesupplies we re d en i e d, t h e copulation would have t t l "e A kept down by starvati on ; in which case it was to ueahm that not the children of the die, but that - the rich should set the example by drown poor only should in; their own children in china basins ! Much more conversatio n t oo k lace `Sir James Graham taking no d very active part, but listeninc , to the statements of the eputation, and now and then throwing in an objection or pointing out garihtapiroanren_t inconsistency. _ 0_ n their de parture, th e Ri sider this at all Baronet said, " I do not con a question opolficr,Tt—l took upon it as a high question of national Nothing . was said by Sir ja.mes Graham, so far like as Mr. E. Baines's recollection serves that even looked i a wish or opinion that "the numbers and influence of the manufacturing c l asses should be reduced by. increasing their distress." But though these remarks may exonerate Sir JAMES GRAHAM from h aving expressed a n y opinion warrantin g the inference which some other member of the deputation drew from it, we cannot admit, . e ven though M r . ED WARD BAINES, jun., a aseTts it, that the land owners are, therefore, 'wrongly charged with entertaining a detiberat el esiglyof reducing the number and influence of :.thi- manufacturing r, population by increasing their distress. The law of England, as a rule, infers a man's motives from the effects of his conduct; and, trying the motives of the landlords by this rule, as their conduct inflicts great distress on the manufac turing classes, reduces their numbers, and curtails their wealth, we infer that their design is to pro duce those effects. When we couple those effects with the known and declared antipathy which the owners of land have for a long period nourished for the manufacturing classes; when we add the defeat on the subject of Parliamentary Reform, which Manchester, Leeds, and other towns, inflicted on the aristocracy when we think, moreover, of the language continually used by the priesthood —the great instructors of the aristocracy—re garding the manufacturing population, the priest hood describing them as sunk in heathenism, as no better than ,Pagans, and describing every accumulation of human beings as causing great immorality and great crime; when to all these circumstances we conjoin the language continu ally used by the organs of the laudownerain the press, we must affirm that the inference drawn from the effects of their conduct, according to the rules of the law of England, is corroborated by such strong circumstantial evidence that we pronounce the landlords, who make the laws, guilty of the charge brought against them by the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association. In aCourt of Law, the plea that it is impossible t') believe in the wickedness of a criminal, when facts, circumstances, and witnesses prove that he has committed the crime charged, is never for one moment admitted. Neither shall we admit the plea for the landlords, that it is im possible that any large class of men in the country can be guilty of deliberate and mur derous cruelty. We are slow to suspect indivi duals; but classes, like corporations, have no conscience, They act by system, they are guided by rules; and if the system and rules be complete contraventions of the most sublime and highly cherished principles of morality, classes and bodies of men follow out their system, obey their rules, and cast morality to the winds. We appeal to every army to testify to this truth. The trade of war, however necessary in the eyes of the politician—and we do not impugn it—is, it cannot be denied, carried on in contravention of most of the commandments. We appeal to the body of the clergy to confirm it, who, as a a priesthood, in the appropriation of great wealth to their order, continually set aside precepts of the Gospel. Each class of men has a morality of its own; and whether called fashion, or honour, or a spirit of trade, that morality guides the conduct of the class. If there be, therefore, any reason to suppose that the system on which the landed aristocracy, in respect to legislation, habi tually act—if the rules by which they are guided make them disregard the people, it is sheer se nility to exculpate them on the sentimental sup position that it shocks our judgment and our feel ings to suppose that they would be guilty of de signedly impeding the increase of the manufac turing population in numbers and in wealth. What, then, is the system of the aristocracy, what are the rules of their conduct? One prin ciple lies at the bottom of both—to support and maintain their class, or order, as Lord GREY expressed it, at all hazards and at whatever ex pense to others. They do but act, in following that principle, as all aristocracies, and as all classes of men, have ever acted. They have laboured and struggled for ages to keep down the democracy by laws. They regard the de mocracy, they speak of the democracy, as canaille, as unworthy beings, as destined to be the ser vants and the slaves of the aristocracy.. All their laws, from the law which requires a landed property qualification to sit in Parlia ment, to the law which reserves for the land owners' exclusive use certain classes of wild ani mals, and which punishes the peasant more severely fur snaring a hare than a rich man for perjury, distinctly prove that the landed gentry, in making laws to keep down the democracy, never have paid the least regard to the principles of morality. Now the manufacturing towns are the seats of democracy; they contain a new popu lation, which has thrown off the yoke of the land ed aristocracy; and to imagine that the aristo cracy would stop short of any crime which they can perpetrate by law to keep down the demo cracy, is to run counter to the whole tide of expe rience. Mr. EDWARD BAINES, jun., may rest assured that no more injustice is done to the landowners, when they are accused of delibe rately desiring to keep down the growth of the town population, than has been done to them since the history of Europe commenced. If they have no such design, they must never- ess be responsible for the effects produced. They knfw when they made the law that such would be the effects, or they did not. If they knew, the charge is substantiated—if they did not, how dare they inflict, from their rude igno rance, such a mass of misery on the nation ? In a legislator meddling with what he cannot com prehend, ignorance is the greatest of all crimes, for it involves them all. What is it to the people whether the wretched ignorance of the Earl of RIPON and the Duke of WELLINGTON, or a de liberate design to keep the aristocracy at the top of the tree at the expense of the democracy, were the cause of the Corn-law ? Their great sufferings, their deep distress, their almost unbearable po verty, their great mortality, are the same, whe ther the landowners acted from ignorance or design. We repeat, then, in conclusion, that we think, with Mr. MARSHALL and the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association, that the landowners designed, and now design, to starve the democracy down to submission and obedi ence; and, acting on that design, they have for bidden all Parliamentary inquiry into the Corn laws. They have either turned a deaf car to the complaints of the people, or have asserted that there was no cause for them. We believe them to be guilty the more firmly, because the land owners persist in continuing the murderous law long after it has been proved to have most mur derous effects. The Spectator defends the PEEL bribery at Tamworth by unjustly accusing the Whigs. Our readers will remember that the charge brought against the PEELS was that they established and maintained a school at Tamworth in which chil dren are gratuitously instructed, fed, and clothed as long as a PEEL shall represent the borough. C° ll Pliiig that condition with the school, Ad establishing the school, we call bribery. The Spectator r a t tt - Yosf(that t b i rib li% er - 3 ,h -) ig w s h t o ri l e es d al t e l , lis wi t tl r i ick 30,0001. for national education; but the Whigs, in pro posing to allot 30,0001. for that purpose, made no stipulation that the grant was to be withheld should they be turned out of office. The Spec tat O, from its present great desire to defend Sir J, PEEL, does a gross injustice to when it compares th e i r Conduct in the Whigs, n promoting education to the trick practised by the PEELS at Tamworth. The Spectator had before it the • evidence that this gratuitous instruction of the PEELS has made to serve a political p urpose. One boy been t a ken to task fbr signing a memorialwas displeasing to Sir ROBERT, and it is acknowledged by Sir ROBERT'S advocates that several dismiss:els from the school have ensued from that memorial. i t bad been stated, too, that some of the electors had felt themselves aggrieved and ashamed by the use made of the school to influence their votes ; yet, in spite of these bad effect s o f t h e P EEL bribery, the ,Spectator advocates it, and ex p r esses a w ish that such bribery should b e tried more extensively. It would have education • s livings are given t o given to the people, a hat they entertain one se priests, on condition t ries of opinions. A scheme better calculated to substitute falsehood for truth cannot be con ceived; and if the Whigs had, as the Spectator implies, acted on that principle, they would have deserved general execration. Our Contemporary seems to have grown lax in his stern morality, as he has become a Pcelite in order to adapt himself to his new principles. Besides sneering. at our chitrac teridinn . the scheme of the PEELS • as bribery; he undertook to show, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 25 1841. at considerable length, that it is of no use talk ing about the virtues of justice and humanity, and that nothing is done by the dissemination of sound principles and the spreading abroad know ledge., unless our present ignorance were incor porated, as an Act of Parliament. On the Spec tator's doctrine the whole scheme of a Church may be dispensed with, for that only preaches, at best, about the abstract virtues of justice and humanity. We were foolish enough to suppose that the dissemination of sound principles and correct knowledge amongst the people was of more importance than getting the two Houses of Parliament to pass a law. We know laws may be formed on very erroneous principles, and may be very mischievous ; but correct knowledge and sound principles never failed to bring forth good fruit. The lesson of our teachers was the reverse of that of the Spectator. They said give the people knowledge, let them be well informed, and the strongholds of corruption and tyranny will fall away -as by enchantment. To have a well-informed people is, according to our Contemporary, " to have a mob col lected around some strong ibriress that th:.‘.y would demolish, howling with rage, and s'aaking their hands with impotent anger, but destitute of the implements for breaking in and the skill to use them." The Spectator for gets that the whole world of politics rests on opinion, wh'.ch will, when ripe, subdue landlords, as it has heretofore subdued bigots and slave owners. We side, therefore, with the Anti-Corn law League, and think it is wise to preach about the abstract virtues of justice and humanity; and have no doubt that the devoted system against which the indignation of the people cau be ex cited by an appeal to these virtues, - must fall whenever their indignation shall be roused. Our Contemporary says that no parley has been demanded by the Parliamentary majority. What then does his favourite's talk about mature consideration mean ? Is the Spectator sensible that it is all humbug; and does it, at the same time, hold the charlatan up to public approba tion ? Was the Duke of WELLINGTON'S late re mark in the House of Lords, that he must look into the Corn-law question with new light, no advantage? Is not the Spectator in error also when it says, that not one advocate of a restrictive policy has recanted his opinions? Have there not been several instances in the ma nufacturing districts of such recantations? Was not Sir GEORGE MURRAY one ? Was not Mr. DAWSON, at Plymouth, one ? Is not Lord LON DONDERRY prepared to recant? At the meeting of the Blofield and Waisham Agricultural Asso ciation, recorded in the Norwich Mercury, we find Mr. BURROUGHES, one of the Members for Norfolk, using this language:— With regard to the Corn-laws his opinions coincided with those of the President—that this country ought to be provided with corn at the cheapest rate at which it can be produced ; but be did not think it could be pro vided with corn entirely grown in our own country now, or that it can be made to do so on the average under all circumstances. What would be done he was not pre pared to state, but he was quite sure that it was not the policy of this country to admit foreign corn, otherwise than under a moderate graduated scale. We see many symptoms, therefore, of benefits to come from preaching about the abstract vir tues of justice and humanity ; though we are afraid that those who doubt the utility will not be very likely to support the doctrines. The Anti-Corn-law League has made great way in the country by such preaching; and we trust it will-not give up its scheme to try for a general modification of the tariff under the leadership of te Spectator. We are glad to see that the soul of our Navy begins to receive public attention. Timber and iron can always be had, if there be only men to use them. Never was the material of our ship ping, we believe, in greater readiness for any con tingency, and nothing is wanted but hardy hands and willing hearts to serve her MAJESTY. To get them, we must urge on the public the pro priety of doing justice to the seamen. Their services must be bought at their worth and price in the market, like the services of any other class of men. Shall the owner of a log, however much the country might require timber, be secure that not au inch of wood will be taken from him, but by contract, and at a fair price, and shall the owner of a sea man's skill have no security that the whole of his possessions—that he himself, shall not be taken for the use of the public ? That security is yet wanting to induce men to become seamen, as they will willingly become when they can, like the owners of timber, be sure that they will be allowed to enjoy their property. Once that security shall be bestowed, our country will have quite as many seamen as it requires. Whatever tends to do them justice shall have our warmest support; and wecannot avoid, there fore, expressing our approbation of the order of the Admiralty recently issued, which grants the seamen their pensions when serving on board her .MAJESTY'S ships. These are the rewards of past services, and those who again serve are entitled to the same pay as the other men filling the same station. If they are not to receive pay in addition to their pensions, none of them will serve in the navy. They will enter the merchant service, they will engage in other occupations, and make what they can by their industry in addition to their pensions. It is just and wise, therefore, to allow them to keep their pensions in addition to their pay, when they re-enter the Navy. The Memorial of the Sussex Shipowners' So ciety to the President of the Board of Trade, is a consolatory feature in the present deranged state of trade and commerce. Injustice, like fever and plague, cannot long be inflicted on one portion of society without sooner or later affect ing all around it. The poor starving Paisley weavers, the suffering operatives of Leeds, and the insolvent small shopkeepers in most of our manufacturing towns, will soon have many com panions in affliction. The shipowners, many of, whom assisted in restoring to office the Do-no thing Government, begin already to cry out that unless something is done, and that speedily, they will be ruined. The restrictions on trade, imposed by our hereditary Legislators and a House of Commons representing only the wealthier classes, have depressed British shipping nearly as much as British manufactures. Foreign vessels are• competing successfully with our own ; and those en f t rofi n the Baltic trade, in particular, are tlfrr ned with absolute ruin. It appears that of the total number of vessels employed in our trade with that quarter, nearly two-thirds belong to foreign countries. " This," say the distressed shipowners, " arises from the fact that Baltic: ships can be built, manned, victualled, and sailed at nearly one-half the cost of British ships. The tax alone on the building material for 100 tons' of shipping amounts to 5001., independently of the tax on labour and freightage of the materials to this country." But this is not all. The Sound dues levied on grain imported from some of - the- Baltic ports amounts to sixty per cent.-more if in British than foreign privileged vessels. 'nder such disadvantages, no skill, enterprise, or wealth, can save our shipping from ruin. The depression in one quarter must soon be felt in another, and iu a few years, perhaps months, we shall find - our enterprising shipowners and hardy sailors, the great bulwark of the country, reduced to a state of bankruptcy and want, not exceeded even by that of the master manufac turers and operatives. Do the nobles and the landed gentry imagine that they can escape the effects of this wide-spreading devastation ? Pro vidence has ordained it otherwise. "He that op presseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to I want." From a brief account, in another part of The Sun, of some statements made yesterday by the clergyman of a Catholic church in London, it appears that the pestilence has reached the metropolis, and that the wealthier classes are obliged to curtail their donations to the poor, from the want of means.. We do not regret it. However much we sympathise with the suffer ings of the working classes, we rejoice that they are not to suffer alone. Th e shipping interest, the landlords, and the millionaires even, will take alarm, and compel - the Government to take measures for staying the plague which now threatens every yortion of the community. We cannot dis. regard the appeal made to the impartial justice of the public press by the meet ing of the Trades' Delegates of London, held' on Friday night, to take into consideration the strike of the masons at the new Houses of Parliament. When questions, affecting the interests of large bodies of the co,rn Inanity, however humble their position in society, are brought fairly and regularly before us, we are always willing to treat them in a spirit of the .utmost fairness. If we can be accused of a bias, from which few mortals are entirely free:, it is of never leaning to the side of the sire-ng against the weak, of taking part of the pcosverful oppressor against the helpless oppressed. But in the case of the masonic strike, . -we have not hitherto had all the facts sufliciettaly before us. What the masons stated one day M:iessrs. GRISSELL and PETO con tradicted the nett s sO that we could only advance c^e amidst a host of clashing assertions. But the meeting held last night was a step to I the placilv' a full, clear, and true state ment of facts betinse the country. Now, all the statements made det that meeting arc yet open to contradiction. They are ex carte, in asmuch as neithm• Mr. GRISSELL nor Mr. PETO, nor their foreman, Mr. ALLEN, arc reported to have been present. Bitt should the statements of Mr. WORTHINGTON, not be contra dicted—should the silence of ALLEN and his em ployers leave no doubt on the public mind of their truth—then, speaking under that supposi tion, we regard the conduct of Messrs. GRISSELL and PET° in not discharging ALLEN as highly reprehensible. The instances of tyranny adduced by WO:RTHINGTON against ALLEN, it' true, are so atrociously unnatural that we find the utmost difficulty in believing that they could take place in a Christian Olin try. A young: man requests a fortnight to go down to Manchester to bury his mothers instead of being commended for his filial piety, an insolent foreman restricts him to two ddys, at the peril of losing his work. The poor young man is expected to entomb a parent as he would bury a dog, without being. allowed a single day to visit her grave and commune with his own heart. He is a poor working man, and is therefore expected to have no feelings apart from those of labouring; a certain number of hours for a certain rate of wages. The next instance of alleged tyranny it, if possible, grosser still. A mason went to catch the last breath ofa dying wife; he stopped to see her remains decently restored to their mother earth, and on returning heart stricken to his employment is met by a foreman who tells him to "go and die with her and be d--d ! " Need we trouble our readers with fur ther instances a tyranny, so revolting to the dearest feelings of our common nature, cited at this meeting ? Is there any act of oppression that could be disbelieved of a man capable of co mmitting one or the other of those to which w have so briefly alluded ? The meeting of the Trades' on Friday night was an adjourned one, so that an -opportunity will be afforded to Messrs. GRISSELL and PET° to contra dict the statements of the Chairman, should they happen to be unfounded. For our own part, we are not in a condition to decide upon the question one way or the other. We repeat once for all, that what we have written above is based on the hypothesis that the state ments made at the meeting are true. It is with the deepest regret we announce our apprehensions that incendiarism is again begin ning to prevail. More than one incendiary fire has already taken place in Yorkshire ; the Brighton Herald gives an account of the wilful burning of a wheat-rick near Arundel; and several other provincial Journals contain state ments of similar atrocities. These are ominous signs, and such as Ministers will do well to take heed to betimes. They indicate a feverish and alarming state of things which requires a far prompter and more efficient remedy than Sir. R. PEEL seems inclined to apply—that is to say, provided he can first obtain the permission of his aristocratic task-masters. Incendiarism is not a danger that lies merely on the surface; and none should know this better than the Tories, whose last days of power, in the year 1830, were ren dered remarkable by the blazing of barns and hay-stacks all over the country. With the expulsion of these men from office ceased the atrocities of Swing; with their return to Downing-street, he, too, renews his old career of crime and desperation. Will the Tories tell us after this that there is a reaction in favour of Toryism throughgut the country; and that the starving and destitute operatives are perfectly content to wait till February for an inquiry into their case ? Sir R. PEEL would have us believe that they are; and when his attention is directed to the state of the manufacturing districts; when he is informed by those who are thoroughly ac quainted with the subject, that trade is not only lan guishing, but in many towns in a state of utter stag nation; that thousands who last year were compa ratively well off, are now unable to find so much as a small loaf for the day's scanty meal ; —when these facts are brought home to Sir R. PEEL, how does he reply ? By reading some paltry partial Savings' Banks statistics in Parliament, which, so far from assisting his case, make it stronger than ever against him ! As he has resolutely turned a deaf ear to the cry of despair and starvation that has reached him from the manufacturing districts, we are not without our apprehensions that, in the alarming instance of incendiarism, he will content himself with pu nishing the crime, without troubling himself to investigate and remove the cause. The following extract from the Western Times will show that we have not exaggerated the present distresses of the people— "•• The state of the country becomes every day more ap palling. Famine stares the masses in the tace. The failure of the potato° crop, owing to the extreme wet ness of the weather, and the wide-spread devastation of the floods, will add greatly to tho misery of a deficient grain crop. Sir Robert Peel has prorogued the Parlia ment, but he has not stifled the cries of the sufferingr millions. The approaching winter is viewed with appre hension by all classes." We received last night Dutch papers up to the '22d hist. At the sitting of the 21st— A message from the King announced that he had named .Nl— ; Van Dam Van Isselt, the firtht candidate on the list, President during the present session. 'A Backer, President during the preceding session, having thanked the Chamber for the kind feeling which it had manifested towards him, and for its co-operation in the . leng and remarkable session which had just closed, resigned the. chair to M. Van Dam Van Isselt, who addressed the assembly in an appropriate speech. ,Llesaid that having been fur 12 years a Member of the Chamber, and taken part in the most important delibe ratiOns,lie co u ld not b ut feel grat ifi e d a t hi s nom i na ti on , since he m us t cons id er i t as a proof of approbation which would encourage him to persevere in the course he had hitherto followed, " We had to pass," said he, " through years of trouble and care, whiCh have .undermined the prosperity of the country ; a new era has commenced which will be an era of reparation and restoration." BERLIN, OCT. 11.—Tile King will set out on the 16th for Tegernsee. It is not certain how long his Majesty will be absent, but it is supposed not beyond the begin ning of the next month. Count Maltzan, the Minister for Foreign Affairs entered on his office yesterday, and removed to th e hotel of that department. Baron Brock hausen, Minister at the Court of Stockholm, is recalled at his own request, and is expected here in a few days, and will be appointed to another diplomatic mission in a milder climate. It is thought that Count Seckendorf, our Charge d'AFitires at Brussels, will be his successor at Stockholm. which the English CoeExTrAcmg, Om 12.—The new armed iron steam boat,r:ved yeterday i n our roads under the command of Lieut. Ad m i ra lty has had built, ar- Thinner. It encountered a violent storm in the North Sea, and proved to be an excellent boat. Persons not acquainted with such matters are quite surprised at seeing how the sides of the vessel were beaten in and indented by the viol ence o f the waves. All our Journals declare very de c id e dly , an d some of them very violently, against any closer connection with the German Confede ration and the Customs Union. The Faderland con tains a very det a il e d di scuss i on of this matter, in which, instead of a u n i on w i t h G e rmany, it recommends an alliance with th e S cand i nav ian kingdom. BERLIN, Ocr. 16.—Our cotton manufacturers h are been complaining for some t i me past that business is slack ; sales cannot be effected. In coarse articles our manu facturers can compete with the English and French, but in fine articles we are behind them, and the ordinary goods scarcely afford any profit. There are instances where the manufacturers gain no more than 2d. or 4d. on one piece of cotton. Attempts have been made to send manufacturers to North and South America, but the English and French have the advantage in those countries and speculations there failed. The parties interested now think that the evil lies in the want of pro tecting duties in favour of our own manufactures against foreigners, and ask for relief, but the system of reciprocity is in tbe, way. Well informed persons are of opinion that too much is manufactured for the consumption, as Lord Aberdeen said, of England. HAMBURG BORSENHALLE, 0c7.111 Bills.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have reached us. The following telegraplric de spatches with news from Spain appear in the official columns of the Moniteur of that day : " BAYONNE, OCT. 18. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the 14th General Ayerbe went out of Pampeluna, and marched against O'Donnell." " BA.YONNE, OCT. 19. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR " It is affirmed that O'Donnell has effected his junc lion with Urbistondo at Tolosa. Iturbe has joined Al cala at Hernani. Their advanced guard was at Andoain. According to the Ministerial journal the Espectador of /he 12th, the Regent has sent orders to Don Francisco to suspend his entrance into Spain." " BAYONNE, OCT. 19. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the 16th, O'Donnell gained possession of Estella. Urbistondo was in the morning of the 18th at Tolosa, and Alcala at Andoain. The Carlist Colonel Lanz is scouring the frontier at Navarre, at the head of some old officers and soldiers of his party, seconding O'Don nell. Affairs were in the same state at Pampeluna, in the evening of the 17th. Ayerbe has entered the town, and, did not march with the two battalions sent against O'Donnell." " PERPIGNAN, OCT. 19. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR, " The municipality of Valencia declared itself on the 14th to be in permanence, and now governs. It has de cided upon raising a third battalion of National Guards, to be composed of men of the port and sailors from the Grao. Each alcade is preparing a list of suspected per sons within his quarter. None but the patriots are al. lowed to go out of the town. Entrance has been refused to three companies of the Regiment of Savoy, coming from Alicant. General Seoane returned to Valencia on the evening of the 14th." " BAYONNE, OCT. 20. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. "Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, Alcala was tomarch to Her nani. It appears certain that 1,500 volunteers from Na varre have taken part with O'Donnell " ' , MITI these despatches it would appear that the insurrection is not so near suppressed as was at first supposed. Hence CHRISTINA MUNOZ'S disavowal of the " words" attributed to her by the Spanish Ambassador. When insurrection appears to succeed, she grows anxious to take advantage of it. The Times, however, publishes the following extract from a letter from Paris, dated " Thursday, 6 o'clock, P.M.," which gives s'. very different account of the prospects of Madame MUNOZ and her partisans:— " You may regard the insurrection in Spain as at an end. The principal chiefs of it are either arrested or have taken refuge in France. Among the former is M. - Montes de Oca. " The regiments which had taken part in the revolt have submitted to the Regent, and have taken anew the oath of fidelity to the present Government ; of these the Regiment& Bourbon is the most important. The entire population of the country through which the arnlitif IKdil passed submitted. " I wrote you:4to-day that by arrivals of the 17th inst., from. Barcelona, the revolutionary movement in that city continued. The Republicans of Barcelona have made an appeal to the Republicans of France." The following extracts include all the news to be found in the Journals of Thursday : A. correspondent of the Spanish frontier writes to the Presse—" Hitherto the troops of both parties in the Basque provinces have respected all the couriers of Foreign Cabinets. Espartero's General (Alcala) has become the first to fail in this respect. He stopped, at Andoain, the last courier sent by the French Govern ment to its Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, and compelled him to return to Bayonne." The French penal code which, up to the present time, had remained in force in the Rhenish provinces of Hesse Cassel, has been superseded by a new German code, which was solemnly promulgated on the 13th inst. The collection of works of art left by Goethe, the Ger man poet, are to be immediately brought to public sale. They are said to be of great value, and several German savans are employed in preparing the catalogue. The Vigie de t Ouest gives the following account of an occurrence near Newfoundland :—" For many years past, when fish began to get scarce at Newfoundland, both the English and French fishermen have been in the habit of fishing off the little island called Belle-Isle, which was. considered neutral ground. This year our fishermen were as usual fishing quietly at this spot, when an English corvette perceiving them, sent a boat to plant the British flag upon the island, and then insolently or dered our fishermen to leave, threatening to fire upon them in the event of refusal. This new act of English piracy has been communicated by Capt. Collet, of the brig Hippolyte-Marie, which has just arrived at La Ro chelle from Newfoundland." A Bayonne correspondent writes to the Memorial Bordelais :—" The opposition journals have made Spain a terrible residence for the French. Being accused of the present evils in the country, they cannot pass along the high road without liability to the vengeance of the exasperated people. •In the Tertullias, coffee-houses, and all other public places, nothing is heard but impreca tions against the French. The Spaniards say, 'There can be no doubt of the connivance of the French Govern ment at the acts of the insurgents, since the French journals themselves announce the fact.' " A letter from Warsaw states that an Ukase has been published, ordering that all accounts in Poland shall be kept in Russian money, and that. the Russian silver rouble shall be the standard of the circulating medium. A young idiotic girl of Felletin, in the Creuse, being a few days ago left in a loft, amused herself with ig niting a number of eheavieal nuatehea,. .and thereby set . fire to quantities of straw and broom. The flames spread with such rapidity, that great part of the most populous quarter of the village was burnt down without the possi bility of saving any of the furniture and effects. No part of the property was insured. " We are expressly authorised to declare publicly," says the Journal des Debats, " that the words attributed to Maria Christina in the despatch sent by the Spanish Minister to General Alcala, have already been formally disavowed by the Queen, and that this disavowal has been addressed to M. Olozaga himself by her Majesty's Secretary." On the same subject the Prase says— " From sources which we have every reason to believe correct, we learn that M. Olozaga having in another document argued upon the same words, they have been officially disavowed in the name of the Queen by her Secretary, and that this disavowal has been in the hands of the Ambassador five or six days." The following is from the Courrier Francais :—" One of the principal employes of the Minister of Marine, who was sent to England a month ago, has returned to Paris, and is preparing a report on the British navy. It appears that he satisfied himself that, at the moment when the British Cabinet was most vehement in its demand for the reduction of our navy, and when our Ministry had given an assurance that this measure would be shortly carried into execution, the English Admiralty was giv ing orders for fitting out several vessels, and building others. We are assured that England has at this mo ment ten more ships fitted out than she had in July last. These facts ought certainly to give rise to some remon strances on. the part of our Cabinet ; but the reduction of our navy has already commenced in nearly all our ports, and it is not probable that it will be postponed." Maillard and Revoil, two men arrested during the dis turbances in Paris last month, were tried before the Correctional Tribunal, and sentenced one to eighteen months' imprisonment, and the other, under circum stances which made his delinquency extremely light, to the same penalty, for only five days. The Procureur du Roi, conceiving their punishments inadequate, laid an appeal before the Cour Royale, which was heard yester day, and dismis se d. Revoil having, in consequence of the appeal, been detained in prison forty instead of - five days, was immediately discharged. Robberies continue to be committed in several of the villages round Pario. A few evenings ago some thieves attacked a female servant in the garden of a house at Ivry, and, before she could get within doors, succeeded in carrying off some silver spoons. An attempt was made by two men the following day to break into the chateau of Madame du Cayla, at St. Ouen, by forcing the shut ters of a ground floor room ?. but a gardener hearing the noise came to the spot, and the men, taking to their heels, effected their escape across the park. The Courrier Francais says :—" As certain acts of the French Government.are not in accord with its °al it declarations, it is our riuty to notice the contradiction. The Minister of the Interior will, without doubt, think it necessary to explain the following circumstance. An inhabitant of the Basque provinces, Munagorri, had, in the name of Maria Christina, urged the peasants to revolt ; pursued and hard pressed, he took refuge in France. The Commandant of Behobia, upon his ap plication, gave a permission to go to Bayonne, to present himself to the Sub-Prefect, M. Ernest Leroy. Muna gorri did not remain long, but returned to Spain, where ho met with his death. The Spanish Consul at Bayonne, having learned that Munagorri had seen the Sub-Prefect, and been left at liberty to set out again, demanded ex planations. M. Leroy being pressed to send this parti san of Maria Christina, said he had made his escape un known to him. The Consul was bound to believe the word of a man who represented the French Govern ment, but the Sub-Prefect did not speak the truth. On stripping the body of Munagorri there was found upon him a passport, signed by M. Leroy, and bearing the stamp of the Sub-Prefecture. This passport, which is for Spain, is written at the foot of the permission which Munagorri had received from the commandant of Be hobia to enter Franco. We have touched it with our hands, and seen it with our eyes. N o thi ng s h or t o f th a t would have induced us to give credit to a fact which im peaches the honour of the French Government. "It is said that 3,000 muskets have been sent publicly from Ba yonne to Bilbao. We do not affirm this, for we are unwilling _to add anything to the grave accusation which we have made." The Commerce says —" A movement of concentration by several regiments is taking place towards the Spanish frontier. Orders have been forwarded from the Minister of War to the Lieutenants• General of the 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th military_divisions to send a portion of their disposable troops towards Perpignan." " Wo, are positively informed (says the Constitutionncl) that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador, has delivered to our Government a note, strongly complaining of the conduct of the Spanish refugees resident at Paris and Bayonne, and requiring that such of them ac are known to be instigators of the revolt in Spain, and members of different Committee) formed for that purpose, be expelled from France. We are not yet made acquainted with the answer of our •Ministers ; but it is asserted that orders have been given for removing all the Spaniards who arc at Bayonne, and marked as ardent' partisans of Queen Christina, into the interior of the kingdom. This ac count is scarcely in accordance with the declaration of her Majesty, made public through the letter of M. 010- . zaga • but that Ambassador appears to be so well in formed of the projects of the frequenters of the Hotel in the Rue de Courcelles, that we have reason to confide in the veracity of the facts we relate." The 67th Regiment of the Line, which had recently ariivei at Lyons, has been ordered from that city to Perpignan. Tile responsible editor of the Pays, a Radical Journal of Auch, in the Gers, has just been tried by the Court of Assizes at that place, for an article on the census. He has been found guilty, and sentenced to six months' im prisonment, 500 E fine, and 1,200 f. damages, to the Mayor and Deputy-Mayors of Ana. The Impartial of Besancon relates, that in the night of the 13th instant an attempt was made on the life of the Cure of La Riviere, in the Doubs, by a sort of in fernal machine, formed of a beech billet made hollow, closed at each end with pieces of iron, and filled with gunpowder and pieces of lead closely rammed in. At a touch -hole made with a small gimblet was placed a piece of lighted tinder, calculated to burn down to the powder in a given time. This destructive weapon was placed at the window of the Cure's bedchamber, and there exploded about twelve at night. The missiles, instead of striking direct at the bed as intended, went up to the ceiling, and thence fell, some on the bed and others on the floor, but none touched the destined object. Two men, respect able inhabitants of the commune, with whom the Cure had had differences, are in custody under strong suspi cion of being the perpetrators of this culpable act. The Liberal du Nord of Douai announces that a meet ing of the sugar manufacturers of the Nord and the Pas de-Calais, was held three days ago at the Hotel de Flandre, in that town, and came to resolutions " for re sisting," it says, " the destructive projects in contem plation of the Government against this branch of na tional industry, the present state of which is by no means prosperous." Our readers will remember the remon strance from the merchants of Havre to the MiniSter of Commerce on the colonial sugar-trade, drawn up only a few days since. _ - _ _ _ An experiment has just been made at Lyons by M. Comaschi, tilt aeronaut, with an oblong-shaped balloon, instead of the pear-shaped ones commonly employed. By judiciously managing his ballast and valves he was able to profit by several successive currents of wind blowing in different directions, and was able apparently to guide his balloon with facility. No accident took place, and his descent was effected with ease. The ends of the balloon were made flexible, and aided him greatly in his manoeuvres. tt e are assured that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambas sador, has delivered to our Government a note in which he vehemently complains of the conduct of the Spanish refugees residing at Paris and at Bayonne, and that he has required that all those who are known as instigators of the revolt in Spain, and that the members of the several Committees found for that purpose shall be expelled from France. • We do not yet know what answer the Ministers may have made to this note ; but it is said that orders have just been given to send further into the interior the Spaniards at -Bayonne, and who are pointed out as the most violent partisans of Queen Christina. This news by no means agrees with th© declaration of Queen Christina, rendered public by Mr. Olozaga's letter, but that Ambassador seems to be so well info rme d o f the pro j ects of the frequenters of. the Hotel in th e - R ue d'Courcelles, that we have every reason to believe the accuracy of the facts which we relate.--Constitutionnet It is said that. M. Olozaga has hinted once or twice to the French Cabinet that he was inclined to ask 'for his passports. A Minister said this evening at the opera that the Government was resolved to give them to him as soon as he should ask for_them.—Temps. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, OCT. 21.

THE NAVY.—We have good reason to believe that the French Government has resolved immediately to u ithdraw six sail of the line from the Mediterranean, and to lay them up at Brest. We cannot doubt that her Majesty's Government will adopt corresponding mea sures, and will reduce to at least an equal extent the amount of naval force in the Mediterranean.—Times. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—The negotia tions in reference to the lesseeship of her Majesty'S Theatre were on Friday afternoon brought to a close. Mr. Lumley, the solicitor, who is well known to the sub scribers and a very large portion of the patrons of the establishment as a gentleman Of the greatest activity, and as having stood in the capacity of treasurer to the theatre for several years as the representative of certain parties with whom the late M. Laporte was associt.tid in MS connection therewith, is the lessee for the ensuing season, at an increased rental upon that hitherto paid. Laporte had latterly paid the'annual" sum of 12,000/., but Mr. Lumley is to pay 14,000/., with the expectation that some difficulties arising out of Mr. Chambers' affairs may be arranged, when there can no longer be any obstacle to the purchase of the theatre, by those or other parties, being completed. Mr. Lumley set off for Paris in the course of Friday night, and, having sojourned there fora few days, will proceed to Italy. It were not matter of much difficulty to guess the nature of his trip, and we sincerely trust that its results may be as gratify ing to himself as we . doubt not they will be t o th e public. --unday Paper? Not one acre out of every ten under grain in the West of Ireland has as yet been cut down—and the almost constant rains give a dismal foreboding of dis tress in that part of the country for the ensuing whiter• Waterford Chronicle.
