Sun Oilier, Aug. 30, 1841. AILIt AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-3011RO W minutes attar 0 I Evening 46 minutes after LONDON: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1341, We borrow the following remarks from the Manchester Guardian, because they are quite coincident with our own thoughts : LORD STANLEY AND THE CORN-LAWS.• —The more we consider the important speech of Lord Stanley at the North Lancashire election, on Tuesday last, the more we are convinced that the present Cabinet has no inten tion of making any substantial alteration in the Corn laws. Those who consider the Noble Lord's speech as nothing more than an expression of his individual opi nions, view it in what we cannot but consider an erro neous light. In order to comprehend the full weight and importance of his Lordship's statements, we must take into account his explanation of the footing on which he stands with the Prime Minister. On this point his Lord ship says : " From that time (1834) to this, I have been in close, uninterrupted, and confidential intercourse with Sir Ro bert Peel. In Opposition, no great measure has been taken by the party acting under the direction of Sir Ro bert Peel without my cordial concurrence and cordial sanction ; upon all subjects I have been admitted by him to the most frank and unreserved communication of opinion; upon all subjects of past policy I have cordially been able to agree with him; upon a full discussion of the course which her Majesty's present Government will pursue, I have no reason to anticipate any the slightest difference between the. views of Sir Robert Peel and my own." Under these circumstances, thus ostentatiously put for ward, Lord Stanley must be taken as an exponent, not of his own views merely, but of the intentions of the Pre mier ; and his declarations in reference to the Corn lawa may, therefore, be pursued by the present Cabinet, and of the general principles by which their policy is to be regulated. We disagree, therefore, entirely with the Spectator, which represents Lord STANLEY'S decided speech in favour of the Corn-laws, as the expression of his self-will, as indiscreet and as unwarranted by the resolutions of the Cabinet. The Cabinet has resolved, we believe, to main tain the Corn-laws very nearly as they are, and the Spectator only lends itself to propagate the Tory delusions when it intimates that Lord STANLEY will have some difficulty in February to reconcile the speech with which he will then preface his vote in favour of Sir R. PEEL'S mea sure for altering the Corn-laws with his speech at Lancaster. Sir R. PEEL will make no altera tion if he can help it. Lord STANLEY is a frank man; he is a born aristocratic, and despises the multitude a great deal too much to use any arts to deceive them. He is above the meanness of telling- falsehoods to cajole the people Lying is notoriously the vice of slaves, and those who rank with them or spring from them. Lord S' :ANLEY no doubt, ex pressed Sir R. PEEL'S Opinions and resolves as well as his own. Another member binet (Sir J. GRAmum) used language at Dor chester similar to that used at Lancaster by Lord STANLEY. The reserve of Sir HENRY HARDINGE and Sir E. KNATCRBULL are to be placed to the same account as Sir ROBERT PEEL'' hints, and are meaut—if they have any mean: i n , ' t o beguile the people i nto a b elief that the j Cabinet latends.tg~do. that which the Members o f t h e Cabinet ,know it has already resolved, un less compelled by the people, not to do. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S conduct, far from refuting, confirms our view. He played the hypocrite on Friday, and pretended to feel for the distres ses and then endeavo ure d to reason it of the people, away. He quoted documents conce rn i ng the Banks, as Savings' Mr.IVILLIERs ob served, to show that there was no distress. To make them of any value, he ought, as Mr. VILLIERS and Mr. CO BDEN observed, to produce similar returns for other months and other years. Without this comparison, however, the facts quoted by, Sir ROBERT PEEL are susceptible, we think, of a different interpretation from that he assigned to them. He said— ---- e In the mont h o f June, 1841, the sums paid month wereaid in amounted to 66,4421.; the sum s d rawn out i n the same i 86,3641., ex hi biting the melancholy fact that the sums drawn out i n that month exceeded the sums paid in by the su m o f 20,000/ In July, however, the sums paid into the Savings' Banks amounted to 124,900/, whilst the sums drawn out reached only to 87,000/. In the month of August the sums paid in were 100,000/t and The sums d rawn out only 50,00C1 Now, olx,erve, that June th e sums drawn Out exceeded the sums paid in b.). 20,0001. ; in the month of August the sums paid in ex ceeded the sums paid out by .50,0001, and amounted to double the sum withdrawn. Whether this was partly owing to the confidence engendered throughout the country in consequence of the change of Administra tion I cannot say.—(" Hear, hear," and laughter from both sides of the House.) The Hon. Gentleman says I take a partial and interested view of the subject. One of my reasons for hoping for an improvement is, that I see an increased confidence throughout the country; and those impressions which I entertained before are at least confirmed by the fact —it may be only simultaneou s , an d not stand in the re l ation of cause and effect—that whereas in the month of June the sums drawn out ex of ceed ednehe t Admire sums paid in by 20,00 0 / , when the presage a w tration appeared about to the stuns paid in exceeded those drawn b out by lised, 50 ,000/.—(Hear, hear.) I state the fact—f draw no inference from it, except that it Constitutes an additional reason for pausing before we attempt too suddenly to apply a remedy for distress. Up to the 1 1 . th of Septem ber the sums paid in had been 32,000/ and the sums drawn out 20,000/ It is true that a great pro portion of these deposits are made by the retail dealers, b u t i t i s gene rally admitted that their prosperity is s, correct test of that of the working classes. The handloom-weavers, who, f' Jr want of em ployment, are parading carts ab out Manchester, with placards, stating " that they are starving, in a land of plenty," could nr A be depositors in Savings' Banks. Neither could the workmen and retail traders of Boitora and Stockport. Th e y are, probably, chiefly to be found amongst ser vants and small capitalists, little manufacturers, and a variety of p'zr'sons who could find no bet ter employment for their funds than putting them into a Saving s ) Bank. We doubt whether that be an l'lldication of prosperity or the re- Wken the little capitalist can extend his operatio - ,,5, and when the retail trader has a bris i .c and increasing demand, they do not place their funds in Savings' Banks; they employ them in their business, because that is then a more profitable investment. The increase of in vestments in the Savings' Banks, therefore, may be an index to the want of profitable employ ment for capital, and to a stagnating trade, not to the increasing prosperity of the retail dealers and of the working classes. On this principle the explanation of the di minished deposits in June, and the increased de posits in August and September, may not be very flattering to the Right Honourable Ba ronet, nor very significant of the utility of his Government. In June there was yet a hope that the Corn-laws might be repealed or modi fied, and the little capitalists in the manufacturing districts kept their funds in their own hands, ex pecting to use them in new and profitable in vestments, arising from the extension of trade In August and September that hope was extin- verse. ;wished. The accession of the Right Hon. Ba ronet to -office killed it outright, and convinced the people that nothing was to be done to relieve them—that trade was to remain hampered, and, therefore, they could make nothing more of their funds than the interest which is guaranteed to those who put money in the Savings' Banks. Were commerce prospering, and could men in busi ness make 10 or 15 per cent. on their money, they would not put it into the Savings' Bank at 31- or 4 per cent. It is, therefore, because they cannot make as high interest on their capital by employ ing it in trade in August, which they hoped to do in June, that they increase their deposits or divert their capital from active production yielding profits, to passive non-production yielding only interest. The accumulation of funds in Savings' Banks may, under this aspect, be rather an indication of increasing decay than of increa sing prosperity since the accession of the Tories to office. Looking at the returns quoted by Sir R. PEEL, in conjunction with the known state of the country, we are disposed to believe that such is a true interpretation of them. Be the interpretation, however, what it may, it is quite clear that, by Sir R. PEEL using those returns in the manner he did, he does not credit the statements which have been made of the public distress. Of course, therefore, he be lieves that the Corn-laws cause no mischief. Lord STANLEY'S great argument in favour of them was, in fact, stolen or borrowed from Sir R. PEEL, and both assert that the evils the country now labour under are the result of over-produc tion and too large issues of paper money. They both, therefore, take precisely the same view of the present state of the country, and both are agreed as to not altering the Corn-laws. The only, or at least the chief difference, between them is, that Lord STANLEY, with the arrogance of a born plunderer of his industrious fellow-creatures, boldly avows his opinions, while Sir R. PEEL, with some of the shuffling of the half inde pendent aristocracy-aping class from which he sprang, still seeks to keep on good terms with the commercial and manufacturing classes, and wants boldness to express his determination to sustain the extorted rents of the landowners at all hazards. The Tories began their career of economy in an appropriate manner on Friday. They voted 1,500/. a-year more as a retiring pension to a Vice- Chancellor than was necessary, and they voted to reward Lord ABINGER'S son fob the very un justifiable conduct of his father. Our readers will recollect that in March, 1840, a Bill was brought into Parliament to abolish the Equity Jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer. After that Bill was brought in, an office which Lord ABINGER knew was to be abolished fell vacant, and he appointed his son to fill it. To make such an appointment for the purpose of obtaining an annuity for the occupant when the office was to be abolished, was, in a moral point of view, dishonest. But it was made, and the com pensation clause in the Bill did not except this office. On Friday evening, expressly with a view to prevent the honourable Mr. SCARLETT from receiving from 1,2001. to 1,4001. per year of the public money, for having been appointed by his father to an office which his father knew was to be abolished, Mr. WARD moved to ex clude all those persons from the benefit of the compensation who were appointed to office after the Bill had been brought in. This reasonable and just proposition the Tories resisted, and they were successful in carrying the clause so as to include Mr. SCARLETT. That gentleman, there fore, whose father is already most munificently paid by the country for his poor services, is to have from 1,2001. to 1,400/. a-year of the public money, for having previously received at the rate of 2,0001. a-year for about eighteen months for doing little or nothing. That is a specimen of the manner in which the Tories at this time are to economise the resources of the country, and re lieve the public of its enormous burdens. For our parts, we object to the whole system. Why should law officers be compensated for los inc, their situations when their services are no longer wanted, any more than merchants' clerks or hand-loom weavers? Why should a man be appointed to an office merely to entitle him to compensation ? When Lord BBOUGHAN ap pointed one of his brothers to an office in the Court of Chancery, he did it conditionally, that he was to make no claim for compensation should that office be abolished. The same course was taken on other occasions, and it may be said to have lately become a rule that appointments now made should not entitle the holders to compensa tion should their offices be abolished. At any ; rate it is monstrous to appoint a man to an office after it is known that it is to be abolished, and then demand compensation. The principle on which compensation is justified I is, that a man accepts an office and gives up other pursuits, relying on that office being continued. When it is known that the office is to be abo lished, the reason for granting compensation I disappears. Lord ABINGER'S conduct, therefore, in not rejecting compensation for his son, appears to us unworthy of his high station; his son's conduct is unworthy of a man of honour and honesty; and the conduct of the Legislature, in sanctioning such sorry behaviour, betrayed its trust, and did what lay in its power to degrade and demoralise society.. That is, however, what. we arc to expect from a Legislature which acts under the influence of Tory principles. The City police, hitherto quiet, orderly, and humane guardians of the public peace, have un finquitately caught the mania whit}, has pre vailed for some time in the metropolitan body of the West, and committed a few outrageous acts, which we arc glad to see the City authorities denounce with just severity. A singular instance of this new system of tyranny came before Sir PETER LAURIE on Saturday. We need not recite the case. It is very brief, and will be found un der the head of Mansion-house. The inspector, (whole name was not mentioned), appears to be an old offender, one of those officious, meddling, tyrannical class, who infest the Bow -street district, and are more pleased in wreaking their vengeance on honest men for some hasty expression or imaginary insult to their dignity, than in abating nuisances or cap- • r ' 4 -449 .7t, • 4 rte- 7 • M 0 j • n- • .4 41 : tg, :„§utt. THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY,_SEPTEMBER turing egregious offenders. We are glad to see I the working of the system begins to make an impression, and that it is exercised on the rich as well as the poor. Mr. WARD, the late Member for the City, had a taste of it. Sir PETER LAURIE and Mr. TIDDLER begin to fear that they may, one night or other, be brought into the same predicament, and if Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY allows this nameless Inspector to remain on the establishment a day longer, we fervently wish that he may be led through the City handcuffed, like the two innocent and faithful servants whom the Inspec tor subjected to this ignominious and needless restraint. The short and characteristic remark of Mr. HOBLER, we quote with pleasure. "No doubt," he said, " by-and-bye the police would do every thing they fancied to do, however ty rannical it might be. The power given to them was enormous, and enormously abused; and it would be certainly necessary for high authoritics to interfere, to prevent respectable people from being completely over-ridden." Men in autho rity now begin to see that we only stated the truth when we described this new body of po lice as " the greatest curse that ever afflicted a free people." The petition of the Committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, presented in the House of Lords by Lord BROROHAM, on Monday night, is replete with statements so ex traordinary, and, we are inclined to think, to the bulk of our readers so incredible, that we have given it at length in another column. If these statements be correct—and we have no reason to suppose them exaggerated—we begin to despair of the abolition of the Slave Trade during the lifetime of the present generation. An evil so deep-rooted, and so little under the control of public opinion, may be checked, but cannot be eradicated by Acts of Parliament. The invoca tion of penal statutes to abolish a crime in which it is proved that the wealthiest merchants parti cipate without scruple, and which they regard as a legal, and not as a moral offence, is, we are ic clined to think, a somewhat useless proceeding. Besides, with the utmost detestation of slavery, it cannot be expected that the British people will continue to tax themselves to an enormous extent to enable their agents to play the part of Don QUIXOTES in all parts of the world in de fence of the coloured race. The white slaves of Lancashire and Renfrewshire have surely as strong claims to British sympathy as the black slaves occupying the banks of the Niger and the Gam bia. Not that we would countenance any dimi nution of a rational zeal on the part of the Bri tish Government to effect the abolition of the Slave Trade. Quite the contrary. But it is alto gether a different thing to persist in a system which threatens to involve us in endless quarrels with other Powers—which operates injuriously upon ourown commerce—which costs the country a great annual outlay—and which Sir THOMAS FOWEL BUXTON himself admits, in his work on Slavery, has both increased the Slave, Trade and aggravated its horrors within the last seven years. The national exchequer does not so over flow that the country can afford to throw away money and even if it could, an argument for thrift would be found in the fact that the reck less expenditure has only increased the evil which it was meant to eradicate. The complete abo lition of slavery is one of those great measures of human civilization which, to be perfect, must re ceive the concurrence of all existing Govern ments. While there is one nation ready to sell its subjects into slavery, and another ready to purchase them, there will be no want of dealers in human flesh whatever may be the colour of the skin. The great experiment of a single Power abolishing the Slave Trade by force has now been fairly tried, and the Anti-Slavery So ciety itself confesses, in its petition, that it has failed. More stringent measures may be taken against British subjects engaged in this inhuman traffic, but till the Governments in the interior of Africa are brought to co-operate with Great Britain in the good work of protecting the free dom of the coloured race, it will be in vain for us to waste our resources in attempts to give freedom to the world at the cannon's mouth. No measure of Reform ever succeeded which was not calculated to demonstrate that the line of duty was the true line of interest. When morality promotes self-interest it is easy to induce men to become moral. Now, in abo lishing the Slave Trade, it is not enough to tell the traffickers in human flesh that they are vio lating the laws of GOD and man, and that if we catch them we will punish them. To succeed we must convince them, or rather those who em ploy them, that the pursuit is not only wicked but unprofitable. When our own experiments in the West Indies shall have satisfied them that free labour is cheaper than slave labour, we shall have done more to abolish slavery than if we had spent a hundred millions in protecting, by our war vessels, the freedom of Africa's sable sons and daughters. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all reached us. On Thursday a Jury ac quitted the National of a libel upon the King published in December last, but which the ill ness of the responsible Editor prevented coming on sooner. That the matter charged was libel ous there can be no doubt, and just as little that an English Jury would have brought in st4cer diet of Guilty. But the frequency with which French Opposition Journals are prosecuted by the Government enlists so entirely popular sym pathies in their favour, that no Jury can be found to convict them. To demonstrate this, we need only quote a single sentence from the pro secuted article, referring to the contests between the King and the Cabinet on the war-with- England question What is it to France, betrayed, degraded, and ruined as she is, to hear around her the squabbles of imbeciles, and traitors, blockheads and felons, and to see in all this clamour but weakness or complicity ? Yes, ye have all been accomplices. But the chief criminal—oh !we know well what he is, and who he is. France knows also who he is, and posterity will announce it. And ye, ye are his accomplices." No one could doubt, nor did the Counsel for the National deny that the KING personally was here meant. Yet the Jury only took ten mi nutes to acquit the National upon every point. We copy from that journal of Friday the an nouncement of its triumph :—, "We wish that all France had assisted at our trial before the Assize Court yesterday. The discussion, elo quent, animated, and profound, by the admission of presiding Judges, presented all the i. -. rite titeres:. ofthe t h e highest political ques ti ons .

The principal cul prit was the King. The Advocate-General easily de monstrate 4 that we were guilty of the double crime im.• puled to us, and argued as if our advocate would try to screen us by some subterfuge. But this did not suit the character either of our advocate or of our Journal. Our idea was evident. It was the King we meant —our readers could not mistake it. To deny it would have been to insult the good iense of the Jury. Wb dis dained a lie. It was the King we aimed at, and the circumstances in which we were placed gav e us t h e r i ght to do so, an d j ust ifi ed our attack. Such was the thesis that M. Marie developed. The Jury, in ten minutes, acquitted us on every point." For this article the National was again seized on Friday, nor are we surprised at it. Yet, if recourse be again had to the sentence of a Jury, we have little doubt that a second sentence of acquittal would be returned. The Moniteur of Saturday contains the follow ing circulars from the Minister of Justice. We have no space to-day for any comment upon them : CIRCULAR OF THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE. "Paris, Sept. 22.

The laws must be e?teeutetl. When fac tions increase in activity aid mulacity, magistrates should redouble their firmness and vigilance. Look to the application of the laws that I have just cited. When you find them violated, by acts or writings, do not hesi tate to prosetute ; make full use of the freedom of ac.• tion which is left to you ; and be assured that, approving your determinations, Government will support theefforts you may make for the defence of the Prince and the Con stitution. Do not suffer yourselves to be turned from prosecutions which appear just and opportune by the fear of not obtaining in the end sufficient repression. Each portion of the Administration has its task, each his re sponsibility. Do your duty; the example of your fide lity will enlighten opinions, and strengthen consciences.

These committees correspond with a central committee established at Paris, under whose influence they act. This is an association the existenca of which Govenment can not authorise, it cannot consent that a society, under pre tence of making petitions for electoral reform, should esta blish by the side of the Government, and in the various de grees of territorial division, a permanent organisationwhich would serve as a support to factions in a time of trouble. There would be there a real danger to the public peace, which the principal object of the article 291 of the penal code, and the law of the 10th April, 1834, was to hinder and foresee. These salutary principles, besides, have just been affirmed by a judgment of the Court of Cassation, on the 4th September, 1841, which rejected the appeal made against the sentence of the Cour Royale of P ar i s , b y mem b ers of the com mittees called electoral reform, which the public accuser had prosecuted az, having belonged to an association not authorised by law. Now, the duties of each are traced out: citizens who might have entered this association without well understanding its aim and end, IN ould be inex cusable in continuing to remain : you should nct hesitate in denouncing them.

With such results before you, you cannot allow the existence of any unlawful association ; and you should recall the citizens to a strict observance of the laws. I cannot, on this point, recommend too much vigilance.—l am, &c. " N. MARTIN (du Nord.") We read in the`,lfessager :—" News of the approach of the Kiaia-Bey of Tunis, and the alarm thereby ex cited among some of the tribes on the boundary, having reached Bona, the Commandant of that sub-division moved on the 22d ult. a column of 450 men, with a sec tion of mountain guns, under the orders of Lieutenant- Colonel D'lllens, of the 3d Light Infantry, upon Calle. The Bey's officer, on being informed of the arrival of the Lieutenant-Colonel, sent two pers)nages of distinc tion, attended by a numerous suite, to meet and compli ment him. This deputation was suitably received, and the best understanding prevails on the frontier. The friendly tribes and others, who have hitherto been wa vering, came forward, and expressed their joy at the arrival of the French troops, sending deputations, and making other demonstrations of good feelings towards France." Our accounts from Compeigne inform us that on Wednesday there was a sham fight, all the operations of which were performed in brilliant style, and passed off without the slightest accident. The plans, of the Coin mander-in-Chief were much approved of by the Gene rals and other Officers present. The weather continued favourable, and the company at Compeigne was daily increasing. Their Majesties and the Princesses arrived at Cornpeigne at half-past one yesterday morning, hav ing been greeted on the road with every testimony of loyalty. This evening the company of the Opera Co mique are to perform Richard Orur de Lion before the Royal party.

POREIGN. The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing news from Constantinople of the 7th, from Alexandria of the Gth, from I3eyrout of the Bd, from Smyrna of the 9th, and from Malta of the 15th inst. The Sultan's health is suite restored. His Highness has appointed Said; the Viceroy's Envoy, a Vice-Ad miral, and his Secretary, Sami Bey, a Lieutenant-Ge neral. These promotions entitle them to rank as Pachas of the Empire. Lord Ponsonby was preparing to leave Constantinople for England by way of Italy. The Porte had issued a Firman, commanding all the authorities throughout the Empire to treat the trading subjects of the Sultan as favourably as merchants living under the protection of Foreiem Powers. " All the authorities," says th e Ministerial circular, " addressed to the Pachas as well in Constantinople as in the provinces, have been instructed to encourage, by every means in their power, the commereita'_ operations of the subjects of the Porte, to grant them the same facilities as are accorded to the Frank merchants, to defend their legal rights by the application of a system of just equality, to protect them under all circumstances from violence and injus tice, and by these means to secure to them prosperity and contentment. You will publish the present docu ment in the district under your charge, and exert your self to realise the wishes of his Highness in this respect." —This circular confers a real boon upon the Turkish merchants, who, to escape from being periodically plun dered by the Pachas, were hitherto compelled to obtain the protection of foreign Powers. Thus the wealthiest merchants were glad to hold some nominal office in the kitchen of a Foreign Ambassador. Mr. Colquhoun, Charge d'Affaires of the Hanseatic Republic, was preparing to sign a commercial treaty with the Porte. The Sultan has ratified the treaty of London of the 13th of July. On the 7th Tali ir Pacha, the Pacificator of Candia, landed at Smyrna, where his flab was saluted by all the foreign vessels in the roads. The salute was returned gun for gun. The Paella wore the diamond-hilted sword pre sented to him by the Sultan, valued at a thousand pounds sterling. The next day he sailed from Constan tinople, after leaving two hundred pounds for the suf ferers by the late fire. The Christian sects are persecuting one another like fiends in Syria. If the principle of the Christian re ligion was hatred instead of love, they could not more rancorously malign each other. All the native sects conspire against Protestantism in every form. From Egypt the news is of little political interest. Mehemet Ali has turned the sword into a ploughshare. Under his careful management it is expected that, in a few years, Egypt will be a fine agricultural country. From Lisbon the news is far from satisfactory. The Algarve is overrun with Minaielite brigands, who rob and murder the inliabitan , s with comparative impunity. General Macdonell was found guilty of being in Portugal without a passport, and ordered to quit the country in eight days. The General was very ill, in consequence of his confinement in a damp cell in the castle of St. George. The National was tried on Thursday, and acquitted, for a libel on the King of the French, written in Decem ber last. The observations made by the National in Friday's number upon its trial provoked a fresh seizure. The Constitutionnd would have it believed that Eng. land meditates the permanent occupation of Syria. Why not charge us with a design upon Paris? Punzac OPINXON. The Morning Post devotes nearly two columns of a leading article to the consideration of the Earl of Shrews bury's pamphlet on the Corn-laws, with which our Con temporary is highly gratified, observing :—" Most justly does the Noble Lord maintain that religious principle and sentiment, so far as they bear upon the question, are against the changes proposed by the agitators, and that the idea qf sacrificing the wiz& landed property of the country to satisfy the mania for commercial specu • lation is indeed anti-Catlutc and anti-Christian."— The drift of this remark is obvious to the most obtuse capacity. It is anti-Catholic and anti-Christian to in terfere in any way with the monopoly of the wealthy, influential landowners; but perfectly right and proper to sacrifice the welfare—nay, the very existence—of thou sands of the labouring classes to that monopoly! The essence of true Christianity consists in passing lightly over the rich, in order to fall with a more crushing weight on the poor; and as the Corn-laws admirably work out this principle, it follows, as a necessary conse quence, that those who oppose them are anti-Catholic and - anti-Christian. Such is the only inference that can be drawn from our Contemporary's remark in the above passae.e. The Timee congratulates its readers on the symptoms of returning tranquillity throughout Ireland, as will be seen by the following passage :—" The reverend persons who lead the Roman Catholic worship of Ireland, feel ing, probably, that their past political interferences have but served to prolong the now tottering ascendancy of their country's evil genius, are, in general, maintain ing at present the most orderly and dutiful demean our. At the great Tipperary meeting in favour of Repeal, only two—Roman Catholic Clergymen at tended ; and the consequence was that the muster, which had been expected to number 30,000, comprised only 2,000 people. The example and advice of the Rev. Mr. Bermingham, the priest of Borrisokane, were thus not thrown away. Quietness and general contentment seem to be common throughout Ireland. Indeed, all that is wanted to restore that country to the most sound and healthful condition, is merely a little patience and reasonable moderation on the part of her generous people. If the Roman Catholic community will only be temperate in their behaviour, not preposterously ex travagant in their demands, and exercise a becoming confidence in their present rulers, we may fairly anti cipate, at no distant day, the most happy and successful results." The Advertiser thus defines the general character of Lord Stanley's late speech on his re-election for North Lancashire t—" If there could ever have been a doubt on the nature of the Premier's policy, there can be none now, since Sir JAWS Graham and Lord Stanley have 'Token out. It Is, then, determined that the country is to continue to groan Wider the Corn laws ; that the ma nufacturing interest is to be victimised to the monster prerogatives of the lords of the soil, and, consequently, that the most pregioile right's of the nation, which arising out A are inseparable from, the freedom of the commercial principle ; are to be the immolation at the shrine of oligarchical treeity and oppression. Lord Stanley's speech is a model at iindYsilled arrogance. Its insolence and audacity are without bounetC-e-its positions are positively stale to rottenness—its arguizents tlre re futed tritisms—and Its Whole purport and bean::: as . foreign to the taste as to the conviction Of llnglialimen. - The Chronicle says t - ‘‘ The danger to the peace of the country is great I anti eve cull tiVdn the middle classes and all who have yet something to hide, id ItIA tliitt danger manfully in the face.

In reffnllVO to the late general election, the Bristol Mercury observes :—" There can be no doubt that the late general election was marked by the most enormous bribery, end that th e T or i es e ff ected a real triumph over the Liberals in breaking down their principles, and in driving them to meet corruption by corruption. True, we believe, that the Liberals were the little sinners,' and that where they expended shillings the Tories ex pended pounds, but it is not to be the less regretted that the former have followed tin evil example, and attempted to fight the Ceaservatim with their weapons." The following is from the Limerick Reporter : " Neither in Peel nor his party can confidence ever be reposed. Peel is a mere actor, destitute of one ingredient of sincerity. The open foe is more easily avoided than the double-faced trickster. Irishmen ! therefore, be ware of Peel!" The Scotsman observes of Lord Stanley's speech at North Lancashire that—" His whole harangue was no thing more than an elaborate plea for suffering the Tory Government to draw their salaries in peace." The Liverpool Chronicle insists that Sir R. Peel has fairly duped the people by his conduct since his acces sion to office The man has positively forced himself , into office under false pr e t ences . The a tt ieitutilel , the address which lie and his partisans carried, pledged them t a consideration of the Corn-laws and other com- nurcial restrictions, if only the fleshpots of office could be first secured. They have obtained the latter and now with that worse than Punica fides which has ever been characteristic of Toryism, they wish to evade the former." The Cambrian remarks, as follows, on Sir Robert Peel's present position :—" Peel knows that he need not reply to the voice of the people demanding his views on the Corn-laws, because he has a Parliamentary ma jority of ninety-nine. What need has he to chop logic with Mr. Otway Cave or with Mr. Cobden, when, fur arresting the movement of the people until winter, he can point to his rank and file of monopolists, and say, as the officer who arrested Charles the First said of his pistol, There is my warrant.' Heedless, indeed, must any Administration be of a coining storm, which can reply to the demands of a hungry people by an oration on air or warmth." In an article on the subject of the Penny Postage, the Bolton Free Press makes the following remarks : " Many seem to think that Sir R. Peel is too politic to brave the unpopularity which will certainly be the por tion of any Ministry that dares to interfere with the pre sent rates of postage. The insulting course pursued by Sir Robert during the last ten days, in reference to the condition of England question,' ought to show how little we have to expect from his fear of unpopularity." MONEY-TRADE-COIVIVIERCE. The accounts from Manchester, Leeds, Halifax, and Bradford, generally state that more business has been done lately, but that prices are still low, and do not afford sufficient remuneration for outlay and labour. At Lei cester business is moderate, and at Bolton not the slight est improvement has taken place. Every week adds to the number of uninhabited houses. .A.GRICULTUE.AL. The accounts from the North — of Scotland are favour able. In Ross-shire and in Morayshire a great deal of grain has been gathered in excellent condition. The potatoe and turnip crops are excellent. The arrivals of hops come forward very freely. Fair and good qualities come from Sussex, the Weald of Kent and the middle of Kent ; from East Kent they are small in quantity, and of a secondary--kind, as yet: The choicer specimens of any, however, have not appeared at all. Accounts from the midland counties state, that the corn crops have been nearly all secured in excellent condition. LAW AND POLICE. At Worship-street, on Saturday, an elderly man, (,f the name of Richards, assistant-surgeon and apothecary in Bunhill-row, was held to bail in 2001., and two sure ties in 1001. each, for improper conduct towards several girls belonging to .St. Luke's Charity School. He ut terly denied the charge. At the Thames Police-office, the mate of the Topaz steamer was adjudged. to pay 41. los., the amount of damage done to the Satellite, by wilfully (as alleged) running his boat against the other.
