The Sun. — London, England, 1841-09-28 00:00:00

EVENING SUN to enter into the details of the new Poor-law, though he had not in the least changed his opinion of their importance. With reference to the instructions, he would not only say that he went further than the Secretary of State for the Home De partment, for he believed that before the passing tithe Act, in every well-regulated Union throughout England, the separa tion of the sexes was carried tint and insisted, on , —(ear, hear.) He rose to express h.'.s regret that the House should be troubled on that '.cession with law whateve r . It discussion on the Peer appeared to hi m th at such a course on a Bill which was m er - Ay o renew, fo ra li m i ted time, the Poor-law her Majes Commission. , mts an ungene rous return for the spirit i n w hi c h Government h a d b roug h t i t forward.—(Hear, until hear, eel oh, oh.) Th e Bill was to renew the Commission ti, . next July, and it thereby held out a promise that, at that tc, the whole of this great subject should be fully considered. ft appeared to him that the manner in which the Ministry had 'framed the Bill, gave them an additional claim to the confi- Totence of the country ; arid he believed that if any thing 'would shake confidence in them, it would be crude and, hasty legislation on this great measure—(Hear, hear)—and not tak ing ample time to consider and reflect on those difficulties and embarrassments their predecessors had bequeathed to them.— (Hear, hear, and oh, oh.) Whatever unpopularity might at tach to it, he would not hesitate to express the favourable opinions he entertained with regard to the result and tendency of the Poor-law Amendment Act. (Hear, hear.) He had always held the same language on the hustings and elsewhere, and. lee would say further, with regard to the Commissioners 1 - ey whom it was carried out, that without approving of e - iervihing they had done, yet, consi dering the circumstreees of peculiar difficulty in which they were placed, the* / had, on the whole, discharged their duties most ably, and 'in a way which evinced the best and fairest in tentions.—(;{ear, hear.) He would say also that he thought the last C .oiesrnment were entitled to the greatest praise for the couraV e and skill with which they had grappled with this great S ees 'eOn.—(Cheers, and cries of " No," from the Opposition.) H.e further believed that, so far as the great body of the coun 'ary were concerned, they had carried it out without reference -es party. He knew unworthy motives were attributed to them, but they treated it with perfect scorn. Everybody knew that with respect to rates, it was absolutely necessary that some such measure should be adopted ; and, on the other hand, he said that no friends of the New Poor-law Act would say that its primary object related to Irates.—(Hear, hear.) Its primary object was to create habits of industry, moral cha racter, and feelings o f i n d epen d ence — ( Hear, hear)—than which no more important subjects could engage the atten tion of Parliament. It was for this reason he believed the gentlemen of England had taken it up, and he wished he could think that it would be in the same spirit discussed by the House. There was no subject of more importance affecting the interests of the people, no subject which they should approach with greater freedom from party feelings and party prejudices. He would appeal to those on both sides of the House who should approach this subject to bear in mind ins importance, and the duty of discussing it next Session, svith an anxious desire to promote not only the temporal welfare, but the permanent happiness of the people. For himself, he had always endeavoured so to approach it, and he had full confidence that the Ministry would give their best attention to its details in the recess that would intervene. He, for one, was most willing to consider any amendment that should be proposed, or anything that would make it more acceptable to the people ; but he would conclude by hoping that her Majesty's Ministers, in their anxiety to make it more acceptable, would not depart from its essential princi ples, which he believed to be good, and calculated to promote the welfare of the people.--( Cheers. ) Mr. C. BULLER said he entirely concurred with the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Packington) in the sentiments contained in the latter part of his speech, and he should waive any allu sions to the former part, except simply to beg him, when an other time he meant to comedown and speak so wisely and to the purpose, he would not allow himself to deviate from his subject into every possible irritating subject. He trusted that the manner in which the Hon. Gentleman had addressed him self to the question would be followed, and that on a ques tion which concerned not a day or a year, not the existence of any Ministry or party, but the permanent welfare of the - people of England, they should discuss it with the same freedom ;from the lowest party feelings and the most miserable party 3 seguments,—(llear, hear.) He (Mr. C. Buller) wished merely to state, that he came down that night not very well able to take part in the discussion, but because he felt it to be his duty to support her Majesty's Ministers in the course which they had taken on the subject.--( Hear, hear.) He had voted for the New Poor-law Act when first brought in, and he had voted for it ever since, and before his constituents and every where else he had promised it his support, though, as the Hon. Gentleman had said, he was willing to alter any details which experience might prove to be harsh and unwise. —(Hear, hear.) In spite of the obloquy that had been cast upon it, he believed it to be an honest law—a wise law—the best law ever made from the best motives in this country, for the moral and social welfare of the working classes— (Hear, hear)--and therefore h e was anx i ous to say that he thought the course taken by the Government was precisely the course which In duty they were bound to take.—(llear, hear. ) It seemed to him that the question was one which should not be discussed under the influence of party feeling or under the pressure of temporary circumstances.—( Hear, hear.) If there was distress prevailing at the present moment in the country, he did not think that a permanent measure of that kind should be altered under the pressure of a temporary evil. He was therefore of opinion that the Government was quite right in bringing in a measure simply continuing the Poor-law Bill, which put off the discussion of the entire ques tion until Parliament should have more time for its considera tion. He would therefore put it to his Hon. Friend the 'Member for York, who he was sure would give him credit for sincerity on the occasion, whether he could consistently call not only upon Members who had generally supported the mea sure, but on those who had declared themselves against many of its provisions, whether he could consistently call on them to pass an opinion upon the single measure of the separation of the sects. It appeared to him (Mr. Buller) that any Hon. Member who would vote for the prosped alteration would thereby affirm that the law in other suspects stood in no need of amendment. It would be advisalle, in his opinion, to con sider the whole measure once and for good; and if they were to commence at all to legislate on the subject, they had better, in that ease, make up their minds to continue there from the present moment up to the end of next year. He wished to say one word before he sat down upon the remarks which had fallen from the Hon. Member for Yorkshire. He did not wish to undertake to defend the Hon. Gentlsenan's consistency from day to day, hut he thought that the 'Hon. Member was right in pursuing_ the cour se h e proposed upon that occasion. He sh ou ld say, however, that the language of the Hon. Gen tleman that evening was much more moderate than that which he had held in Yorkshire.—(Hear, hear.) He said to the electors of the West Riding—" We shall have no bastiles, my friends; from February, 1642, we shall have no separation of roan and Wife ;" but the ardour of the Hon. Gentlemen had considerably abated since. It appeared to him that the Hon. Gentleman was quite right in the tone he assumed on the pre sent occasion, though he no longer said we shall have no more of that infernal, abominab:e, diabolical law, and all that sort of thing.—(llear, hear, and laughter.) He confessed that ho did not expect that Gentlemen who had held that language would vote f or cont i nuing for a moment the power of " the Three eir own infernal regions, but to the upper earth we lir in. He (Mr. Buller) never wished to say anything offensive; but it really seemed to him there had been a good deal of howling resertesi to on the subject.—( Laughter.) It appeared to him that, a go o d deal of very talked--vague nonsense had been t:nat talky ) a very grea t d ea l of dishonest stuff had been 'e ; and h e did not think that Hon. Gentlemen had a rig it to m i s l ead people by false hopes, and to agitate them by se eartions which were never meant to be carried into effect.— ( Hear, hear.) He certainly wished to put Hon. Gentlemen opposite to the test—he wished them to state whether or not they meant to continue a law which had been supported by large majorities on both sides of the House, or whether they would repead it when they took it into their consideration. Colonel, 1;VOOD said, that when the time arrived he would be ready lairly to consider the entire question. He did not think the proposition, the motion of his Right Hon. Friend opposite, was so unreasonable as had been represented, al !)-..ough he did not wish it should be pressed upon that occasion. When the Poor-law Bill had first been passed, he certainly had um notion that it would have been indiscriminately applied to ;all parts of the kingdom. It had been admitted that great abuses existed in the administration of the old law in the Southern Counties, but he believed those abuses were unknown in the North of England. There was no payment o f wages out of th e Poor -rate in the North ; there was no payment of cottage rent from the same source. He hoped that his Hon. fFriend would not press his proposition, although he con essed he approved of its principle.—( Hear, hear, hear.) In the union to which he (Colonel Wood) belonged, they had resolved, to allowing old men and women to live the hay' toeether--(A laugh) —in spite of the instructions h y ha':treceived from the Commissioners. He thought work /10'15'4 ought to be places of comfortable retirement for the ap'el, that they ought to contain schools for the chit , ' ren and t.oat hat they who took refuge in them slimes' sr, comfortable as the aged.

It was the wish of the House to receive in formatiou from the Boards of Guardians ; and as those Boards were constituted of persons who had no pecuniary interest in 'the immediate administration of the law, he thought it wou ld be right that those individuals should be entrusted withit s execution, and th at i t ought to be taken away from the uncon tutional authority of the Commissioners.—( Hear.) What would be the consequence if such a system was adopted with regard to the constabulary ? Why, it would be tantamount to a suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.—( Hear.)

If inquiry was necessary, he hoped it would be made by those who had no interest but the benefit of the community at heart, and not by those who had a direct personal interest. There *ere 2.6 manufacturing Unions, which comprised a po pulation. of 100,000, and 3,000 paupers. Was it possible that '2",e test sb.lcl be applied in such cases ? In such Unions there would be continual cases of sudden deprivation, and it was im possible to apply the test. He trusted the Right Hon. Baronet would take these things into consideration, with a view to re moving the evils so generally complained of. Mr. WIGNEY said he was one of those candidates row had suffered from tha remarks of Hon. Members opposite on the hustings on this subject.--( Hear, hear.) If Hon. 1115 mbers brought forward such subjects to carry their elections, they had no right to complain when the discussion was introduced in that House. If the Hon. Member for York divided the House, he would vote with him, but he would certainly propose a post ponement. Lord SANDON said, as one of those who had been charged with making an improper use of this question, he felt bound to vindicate his character. He could net see why Whigs or Radicals were to be allowed to express their opinions, whilst Conservatives were denied that privi lege. The Conservatives had an equal right with the Whigs to express their sentiments on the Poor-law, and were not therefore to be charged with tampering with the people in order to effect their own purpose. The charge came with a bad grace from those who had appealed to the pas sions of the people, by speaking of the Conservatives as ad vocates for a little loaf, and professing themselves to supply the poor man with a big one.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He thought time should be allowed to the Government, to consider what alterations they would make in the measure; and he was sure Hon. Gentlemen on that side of the House would be found honestly to maintain the opinions which they had stated.—(Hear, hear.) With these opinions he would oppose the motion of the Hon. Member for York. Mr. C. WOOD regretted the acrimony that had been in troduced into the discussion by the Noble Lord who had just sat down. He had hoped that the question would have been discussed with temper, and he objected to the opposition of the Poor-laws being made an engine of political warfare, which had been the case during the late elections. He believed that the New Poor-law Bill had done great good, and that its pro visions had in most places been carried into effect with great humanity. In Halifax the poor were far better treated un der the New than under the Old Law. He thought that the Government had done right in renewing the Bill for another year, for the purpose of giving an opportunity of having the whole measure discussed in the next Session. Mr. HARDY denied that the question of the Poor-laws had been made the subject of political discussion on his part at the late election. It had been forced upon him. He was most anxious, if the Poor-law was deferred, that a perfect un derstanding should be come to as to out-door relief. There was not so much money spent on the poor now, when wheat was so high, as when it was only from 395. to 445. He was, therefore, afraid the poor were stinted in their food. He hoped, therefore, some understanding would be come to, so that out-door relief should not be prohibited, but might be given to those who were unable to obtain work during the winter. Mr. WAKLEY had been often referred to, and would not detain the House long. He could assu re th e H on . M em b er for Chester th a t h e had no other duty in that House than to do his duty to his constituents and the public. He had no other duty or motive there. He trusted the Hon. Member had no other. As to the New Poor-law, he trusted the present Government would not pledge itself to the principle of the law which many had attempted to get them to do. It was a most important question, and the 'kw ought to be allowed to eome to the full discussion of the mea sure without having the whole weight of the Government de terminedly set against those who were desirous of having the law ameliorated. He trusted the Hon. Members who had motions on the paper, as well as the mover of the instruction, would not press tbem to a division—(Laughter)—for, upon reflection, they would find that their own intentions would be frustrated by forcing a majority to vote against them. He would warn the Right Hon. Baronet, that if he pledged himself to the principles of the New Poor- law Bill, it would be the last time he would ever command a majority in that House. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, For the amendment ... 36 Against it...... .....

There was very little business done in this Market, but no material change took place. Raw Sugar for consumption was in fair demand, and brought steady prices, except for low soft yellow and inferior brown sorts, which were again rather cheaper. Fine yellow West India, fit for the scale, realized 665. to 675. 6d. per cwt. Coffee continued dull of sale, and could only be forced off at reduced prices. Rice was still very dull, and prices were unusually low, Pepper ig as in demand, and commanded full prices. Cassia Lignia was not quite so saleable, owing to some large arrivals. WHITECHAPEL HAY MARKET. The supply of Meadow Hay was good ; the demand pretty fair for the fine and middlinc , qualities, the ordinary a heavy trade. Of Clover the supply was very fair; the demand run chiefly for the fine sorts, and the middling and erdinary quali ties had a bad trade. Of Straw the supply was middling and the demand good ; the inferior sorts rather lower. Clover, first quality, from 5/. to 6/. ; Second, 3/. to 4/. 18s. ; Mea dow Hay, first quality, 41. to 41.155. ; Second, 21. to 31. 18s. ; Straw, 1/. 13s. to 1/. 18s. TEA MARKET. Prices were sustained for Free Trade, but the purchases were limited ; in Company's Congou, however, a fair business was done at Is. 93d. to Is. 10d. cash. Public sales are declared for Thursday and next Monday. TALLOW MARKET. The trade are still operating with caution, but holders will not submit to any further reduction, and P. Y.

To-morrow (Wednesday) being the feast of St. Michael, Tallit's celebrated service will be performed, both morning and afternoon, at Westminster Abbey, furnishing a rich treat to the lovers of ecclesiastical music. It is surprising that the name of Tallis, venerable as it is in the eyes of connoisseurs in church music, should be so little known to the generality of people, for out of the numbers who may listen to-morrow to the august strains of his services, many will see nothing in that name, or know no more of it than that it is composed of six letters. Tallis, rightly entitled the " Father of the Cathedral Style," was, according to the best of our recollection, born in 1520. He was organist of the Royal Chapel to King Henry VIII., King Edward VI., Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. In the second and third of these reigns he was simply a gentleman of the chapel, and served for sevenpence half-penny a day, but under Queen Elizabeth, he and his affectionate disciple, Bird, were gentlemen of the chapel and organists. Learned and elegant as are the compositions of Tallis, they are not less original. Among the works of the old cathedralists of the kingdom he formed his style, and his music has a grave and majestic air well-suited to the " pealing organ." Talks, though a Catholic, accomodated himself and his studies to the alterations introduced at the Reformation, and his " Services," which are to be performed to-morrow, were composed by him after the musical part of the church service in Queen Elizabeth's reign had been settled by Parker, Arch bishop of Canterbury, who, himself a skilful musician, had the care of selecting at this period from the Common Prayer the offices most proper to be sung—a matter of no little import ance, especially as the rubric contains no directions about it. Several professors and amateurs we believe are to assist at the regular choir at the recitation. The morning service com prehends the " Venite exultensus," " Te Deum," and " Be nedictus ;" and th e even i ng service " The Magnifica t " and None Dimittis." Mr. Turle presides at the organ.

Any person, however, who expects to learn poli tical wisdom from the Quarterly Review, will be miserably disappointed. A poorer hash of all the topics on 'which the Tory newspapers have for the last few years assailed the Whigs, can scarcely be conceived. The resignation in May, 1839—the defeats on the Irish Bill, and on a vote of want of confi dence—the giving up of the Administration of Justice Bill—the appointment of Lord CAMP BELL to Ireland—the agitation on the Corn-law question, &c. &c.—have been discussed ad nau seam in the daily journals, are now done up at second-hand in the Quarterly Review, and Mr. MURRAY charges his readers 6s. for that which they have before bought] for sd.

Radicals and Whigs, like the Frenchmen and their Allies, to be hunted to death without mercy. It is new to us also to find the popular demand for cheap bread, by extinguishing the landlords' tax, compared to the arguments pro pounded by JACK CADE "that henceforth seven lialfpenny loaves should be sold in England for a penny," when the humble fact, stripped of all fancy and all the allusion of analogy, is, that the Bread-tax Repealers require, the bread to be sold at its just marketable price; while the landlords, the very reverse of JACK CADE, whose purposes appear to have been benevolent, though mistaken, insist on making the people pay 4d. for every 2d. loaf, and having more power than CADE, they have been enabled to carry their wishes into effect. There is a simi larity between JACK and the landlords. Both de clare that bread should not be sold at the market price ; but JACK said it should be sold to the poor for a less sum, while the landlords say the poor shall not have a 2d. loaf without paying 4d, for it. Both arrogantly intend to set aside the honest laws of the market, but JACK would have set them aside for the benefit of the poor, the landlords set them aside for their own benefit. Of the two, JACK was decidedly the zzare bene volent, while they are on a par for honesty and justice. We may, however, leave the Whigs to the mercy of the Reviewer. They did too many good timings, such as reforming Parliament and the Corporations, settling the tithe question in Eng land and Ireland, establishing Poor-laws in Ire land, giving us the Penny Postage, &c., &c., to have their names erased from the public affec tion by the blunt soft pen of the Reviewer. In after tithes, they will be remembered as political benefactors, while the Tories will only be known as detractors from the merit they could not pos sibly equal. We knew beforehand pretty well what the Reviewer would say of the Whigs, and we were more anxious to learn what he would promise the public in the name of the Tories. The sum is, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy ought to be the re verse of that of the Whigs. He must, therefore, augment instead of remitting taxes, and must resist instead of promoting useful reforms. He is to exercise dutiful fidelity in the business of the State towards the SOVEREIGN, and is not to allow any of her subjects but the Tories to have access to herpresence. To foreign Powers he is to be calm and conciliating, elevated and courteous, and imitate the lofty example set by LOUIS PIIILIPPE and M. GulzoT, and so probably expose her MAJESTY or himself to be shot at like that arch traitor to the people, the French Monarch. As to our finances, Sir ROBERT is slowly- and cautiously to develop his means of meeting the difficulties and to restore our prosperity.; he is to imitate LOUIS the FOURTEENTH of France in building palaces. The following paragraph con tains all which the Quarterly Reviewer says about restoring our national prosperity. The spinners and weavers mustbe delighted equally with the philanthropy and candour of the sug gestion in the present state of the country. Connected with the state of our finances is a subject of general interest, and of great, and, we are glad to say, growing, importance to this country ; and while our first anxiety is for the safety of the State—to see our expenses and our revenues brought to a due balance—our next wish is for such a surplus revenue as may enable Sir Robert Peel to indulge not merely his own well-known taste and feelings, but those of her Majesty and her Royal Consort, in the liberal encouragement of the fine arts, and in enabling the reign of Queen Victori a to rival the reign of Queen Anne in its noblest distinc t tion of being the Augustan age of England. Eng ' land,, so generous and so wise in works of practical uti lity, has too long looked at the imaginative arts with the jealous eye of parsimony. She is but slowly learning that, in addition to the intellectual pleasure, there is no inconsiderable degree of financial profit to be derived from works that may, at first sight, seem to be mere os tentatious embellishment; but the examples of Rome and Florence, and, above all, of Munich, Berlin, and Paris, are beginning to open our eyes. It was the great Col bert, we think, that, on some objection to one of Louis XlV.'s costly Carousels., showed by calculation that it would prodfp.:e from the influx of strangers ten times more profit to the industry of the kingdom than it would' cost to the Royal purse ; and we have little doubt that the sums spent on the embellishment of Paris, great as they have been, are already producing, if not a full, at least a satisfactory return, which, if the King can sober down the minds of his people to a spirit of peace, will every day become more considerable. We should not i forget how and amongst whom the cost of public works is distributed—not to the idle and the rich, who receive from them only an intellectual enjoyment, but to the artistic and industrious classer, who find in them the actual means of livelihood : _ " For hence the poor are clothed, the hungry fed, Work for himself and for his children bread The fal;Wurer finds." The people, therefore, are to be additionally taxed to build palaces and buy pictures, in or.. der to feed the people. Arrogance, long in dulged, has driven these political charlatans out of their senses. They tell the industrious classes of England, as the Earl of SHREWSBURY tells them, that the aristocracy is the tree from which they have gathered the finest and most abundant fruit, and the people can do nothing better, therefore, than allow it to draw all nourishment from them, and grow itself to a poisonous greatness. Even if there were not, in the present condi tion of the Arts, and the lives of artists in France—in the past conduct of the French, in relation to their fellow-countrymen and country women, and to the rest of Europe—in their savage thirst of blood, and reckless dis regard - of human life—abundant reason to believe that palace-building and picture-paint ing are not civilization, and do not promote it—even if there were no reason in the condi dition of France and Italy to distrust patronis ing the arts as a means of civilisation—to write about such matters at . the present time is a deep and bitter insult to our long-suffering- and patient people. The author+ must be some person of great mental inferiority, who has probably attained a sort of coterie celebrity by puffing some second-rate poets and artists into notice. He can' conceive no higher dignity for literature than to be taken in tow by the sister arts. Being himself unable to conceive any thing original or grand, he attempts to reach fame by fastening himself on to some respectable artist. A more contemptible meddling with the great " Condition of England Question," of which the writer has no more conception than a " critic fly" has of .the old dome of St. Paul's, never fell under our notice; and we recommend Mr. LOCKART to get somebody else to do the politics of the Review than the old broken-down poli tician, who, through a long life, and having filled many posts, hai never by any chance had the epithet of honest or comprehensive applied to him. Letters from Athens of the 7th inst. are loud in their condemnation of the dismissal from office of Prince MAR RACORDATO by King OTHO. So ridiculous, contemptible, and, on many occasions, subversive of the national liberties, has been the general conduct of OTHO since his elevation to the Throne of Greece, that he can be guilty of no extravagance—no outrage upon public liberty, or public opinion capable of exciting in us the slightest astonishment. We therefore hear unmoved that the KING, to get rid of MAVHACOnDA.TO, boldly set forth that a Minister, in perfect health, was too seriously indisposed to perform the duties of his office. We learn with equal calmness that his MAJESTY, with a vindictiveness worthy of an old crone who let furnished lodgings, and who was resolved to gratify a grudge by insulting an outgoing tenant, condescended to dismiss by a Royal Decree M. LEON MELAS from the Ministry of Justice, after he had the resignation of that Minister in his pocket ! Yes, contemptible as this little trick appears, it was not unsuited to the gratification of the miserable vengeance of King OTHO. When, by the fabrica tion of a bare-faced lie M. MAVRACORDATO was dismissed, M. LEON MELAS at once sent in his resignation. The KING received, but suppressed it ; and in order to have the credit of being the first in the field, he so far forgot the dignity of a Constitutional Sovereign, as to dismiss the Minister ; but having deolared MAVRACORDATO an invalid, the next step taken by the KING was to evince his own munificence by providing for the worn-out pa triot. He therefore ordered him a pension of 257/ per annum out of the public . Treasury ! This miserable pension, which was intended to ruin MAVRACORDATO 111 . , the eyes of his countrymen, and which assuredly the KING would have taken care' never to have Tati4 :was indignantly declined by the Prince, who stated . ' in a letter to the Government, that he was wealthy enough for his necessities, and healthy - BER 28, 1841 enough to be still capable of serving the cause of Greek independence. . But the Great Powers must at last take some steps to arrest the ruinous career of OTHO. It is time to remind him that in guaranteeing the independence of Greece, the Great Powers had for their object the happiness of the Greek people, and not the gratification of the petty and malignant passions of a handful of Bavarian adven turers. But as France is now mixed up with the in trigues in Greece, we fear that the British Government will not speedily receive much support from the Cabine t of the Tuilleries. However, the interests of the Greeks and the repose of .Turkey require that some strong mea sures should very soon be taken to repress the domineer ing insolence of a Royal Imbecile, and to give to Greece those institutions which shall place her liberties beyond the reach of an alien faction behind the Throne. The Paris Papers of Sunday contain very little gene ral news of interest. The seizure of the National on Friday, and the circulars of the Minister of Justice, oc cupy the leading columns of the whole French metropo litan press. No act of the Government since the Revo lution of 1830 has been so strongly denounced by the Opposition journals as is the issuing of the Ministerial circulars, published in our columns of yesterday. They are denounced as intended to abolish the freedom of the Press and the constitutional right of petition. We more than question the wisdom of the Government in thus exasperating not only the Press, but the advocates of an extended suffrage throughout France. We fear the result will little accord with the expectation of the Km, Court, and Cabinet. The Moniteur says, a letter from Beyrout, announces that the English troops have completely evacuated the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre. The Sud of Marseilles of the 23d, has the following para graphs : Captain Espanet, commanding the Auguste Etrenne, coming from the Isle of Bourbon, has arrived in our port. H e states that on the Bth of this month being off Cape Sacratif, he met an English squadron of five ships of the line, and seven frigates steering towards the West. Cape Sacratif is on the South Coast of Spain, a little to the East of Malaga. It must be inferred from the direction in which this squadron was steering, that it was going to leave the Mediterranean. Captain Portal, commanding the brig La Bourse Adele, who quitted Tunis on the 10th of September, and arrived on Tuesday at Marseilles, left at Tunis, five French and three English ships of the line. The Bishop of Algiers arrived on the 23d at Bordeaux. There is a report in that city of the nomination of that prelate to the see of Cambray. The Eclaereur de la Mediteranee announces that a manu facturer, Mr. Joseph Gauthice, who has been travelling for these two months in Algeria, has discovered among other mineral riches some iron mines, which can be compared only to those in the Isle of Elba.—Le Constitutionnel. The Count Kolowrat, a packet belonging to the Austrian Lloyd's, which arrived on the sth from Syria, brought to Smyrna the following intelligence, which has caused a great sensation:—" The Austrian frigate La Venero, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Bandiera, ran aground on a rock before St. Jean d'Acre, :five miles from land. It seems that the fri gate was in such danger, that the Admiral found it necessary to throw overboard his guns and his ballast, and to send im mediately to Beyrout for assistance. The English ship of the line, Cambridge, and the Phcenix steamer left on the 29th for that purpose. The captain of the Kolowrat says that up to the 30th the sea had been very calm, and that if the assistance from Beyrout came in time the frigate would be easily got off, but that since the 30th there had been a very heavy north wind on the coast of Syria, which excited great apprehensions for the safety of the ship.—Le Commerce. From Spain we have letters and papers of the 19th instant. The Expeciador, a Madrid Ministerial paper, has some very cutting observations upon the report that the King of the FRENCH has sent M. SALVANDY to Spain to watch over the safety of the young QUEEN This Journal observes that the Spaniards are not regi cides, and that the King of the FRENCH will find enough to do to protect himself and his family from the assassin bullets of his own loving subjects. There were reports in circulation of an intended mar riage between the young Queen of SPAIN and her cousin, the second son of Don FRANcisco DE PAULA. The rumour went that Great Britain had consented to the match. No Bourse. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE o' CL CK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 27.

MONTREAL, Atm. 31.—Considerable sensation has been produced in town in consequence of the evident determination of the Government to press forward the Bank of Issue Bill. A public meeting will be immediately held to discuss the me rits of this measure. There appears to exist a well-founded apprehension that if the present Banks are compelled to purchase their supplies of bills or notes with specie, it will be tantamount to a law obliging them to pass a dollar in silver for every dollar of their circulation ; and it is further urged, that they will suffer a heavy loss of interest in conse•: quence of the supply of those notes they must necessarily re tain for their ordinary business. The proposed Bank is not in tended to augment the banking capital of the colony. It must effect a large reduction in the circulation of every Bank under the control of the Provincial Parliament, and should the charter of the Bank of British North America be exempt from such jurisdiction the stock of that Institution must rapidly rise in value. It may prove interesting to recapitulate the names of our present Banks with their paid-up capital, viz.:— Bank of Montreal ...£500,000 City Bank 200,000 People's Bank Quebec Bank Upper Canada Bank Commercial Bank .. Gore Bank People's Bank Farmers' Bank 50,000 Total £1,660,000 Those Banks, under the present system, are authorised to issue their notes to an extent three times greater than their paid up capital ; hence the province has now at its command all the available benefits of circulation, equal to 4,800,000/. ; inde pendently of these facilities, nearly fivefold greater than those offered by the contemplated Bank of Issue, the Bank of British North America can enter the market supported by a capital of 2,000,000/. sterling.

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The seizure of the National, for the fifth time, on Fri day, occupies the leading columns of the Paris Journals of Sunday, in conjunction with the two circulars of the Minister of Justice, which appeared in The Sun of yes terday. The National, alluding to the circulars, says : " The most moderate persons must now be convinced that Ministers have hurried on to the utmost limits of violence. They no longer aim at repressing the licence of the Press—they strike at its very liberty, and, are striving at the total destruction of those rights obtained by long and painful efforts, The country will feel that the prosecutions of the Press aro mere pilot-balloons, and that the Press once destroyed, the Jury will have a like fate. Then, when the Press and the Jury are both down, nothing can arrest the progress of despotism." The Commerce concludes a violent attack on the Go vernment as follows :—" But the destruction of the freedom of the press is not enough for these imitators of Prince Polignae. They must crush the manifestations of public opinion in all its modes of expression. For this the Minister of Justice aims at annihilating the comities appointed to receive petitions for electoral reform. How edifying is och an attempt by a Cabinet whose most influential member' (M. Guizot) was once the ardent promoter of electoral agiOtion against the res toration, and the indefatigable chief of the society called ' Help thyself, and Heaven will he ;n thee !' If the Chambers do not show an enlightened tod decided op position to this arbitrary interpretation of the laws against associations, we shall have to lamen, t over the loss of the right of collective petition insured xo us by the Charter of 1830." Nor is the Temps less decided in its condemnatioo of these circulars. It observes:—" The order to prosecute the electoral comities is an attack on our political liberty. We are told that these comities are only apparently occu pied with electoral reform, • that their real object is to agitate the country, and that, in certain circumstances, they might serve as rallying points for the factious. But at this rate, there is not one of our public rights, not one political guarantee, the exercise of which may be al lowed; for any popular institution may be made an ill use of by faction. Undeniably, then, the Ministei of Justice takes away from us the right of petition." The Courrier Francais, the Constitutionnel, and the Seicle, all condemn the circulars as an attack upon the charter. The Journal des Dehats and the Presse say nothing about them, being satisfied with applauding the seizure of the National for attacking the person of the King. There appears to be a great deal of very bad blood in France. We are much mistaken if dangers do not threaten that country as serious as any experienced since the promulgation of the fatal Ordinances of 1830. The King of Prussia is on a visit to his Imperial brother-in-law the Emperor of Russia at Warsaw. Con stitutional Europe will gain nothing by the deliberations of these two Monarchs. Prince Albert of Prussia is reported to have been sud denly seized with serious illness at his residence in Silesia. Letters received in Berlin on the 19th command ing the prompt attendance of his Royal Highness's phy sician represented the Princess, his Consort, as greatly indiiposed. PARLIAMEN TART. In the Lords last night Lord Brougham pointed out to their. Lordships that the diet and the punishments were very different in different prisons, for which there is no warrant, as they ought to be alike. His Lordship's humane and Statesman-like speech must cause attention to be directed to the subject, and will tend to make our prison discipline uniform. The Noble Lord concluded by a motion for information to be laid before the House at the beginning of next Session. Lord Campbell called their Lordships' attention to the necessity of having legal assistance for the Home-office. A new writ was issued, in the Commons for Hereford, in the room of Mr. Hobhouse, _ . Sir Brook Vere entered into an explanation about the Saxmundham Agricultural Festival, and denied that her Majesty's health had been drunk there with fewer ho nours than that of the Queen Dowager. Several gentle men testified to the same facts, which shows that the Tories are rather ashamed of their improper partiality. In a Committee of Ways and Means the Chancellor of the Exchequer moved a resolution to enable the Go verntnent to complete the Ways and Means of the year by a loan of 2,500,0001, and by funding Exchequer Bills to the same amount. In the course of his speech the Right Hon. Member stated that the financial statements made by the late Chancellor were so recent that he should only weary the House by repeating them, and he there fore contented himself with stating that the deficiency to be provided for beyond the Ways and Means already provided was 2,400,0001. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that 3,540,0001. of the loan, a mixed fund of Ex chequer Bills and borrowing money, had been subscribed. Mr. Baring took credit to the late Ministers for the Money Market being 25 per cent. better than when the Whigs came into office. Mr. Williams strongly recommended economy, and pointed out several reduction of expenditure which might be made. He moved a resolution condemning the increase of the debt, but it could not be put because it was informal. The debate which ensued, in which Mr. Hawes, Mr. Ewart, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord Palmerston took part, Was rather smart, and is an indication that the two parties mean to carry on a brisk war. Sir R. Peel, on the authority of a nameless Magistrate, contradicted a statement which had been made by Mr. Hindley on a previous -• evening, which ought to make Hon. Members be quite sure of their facts, and be cautious in stating them. • The resolution was agreed to. On the motion for a Committee on the Poor-law Com mission Bill, Mr. York moved his amendment, which oc cupied the remainder of the eveniDg. Mr. Yorke's amendment was lost by a large majority. The considera tion of the Poor-law Commission will be resumed this evening. PUBLIC OPINION. In some comments on the Tory policy as regards land, the Chronicle remarks as follows :—" Veni, Vici I The bare calling in of the Doctor, though he still declines to prescribe, has operated as a ebrifuge in Ire land. Peace and security now reign there, by the ac knowledgment of the Tory oracles, and in consequence — as they do not hesitate to assert— of the late change in the Government. • Everything in this neighbourhood,' says the Tullamore Correspondent of the Evening Packet, • savours of peace. The new change of men and mea sures has already had its influence on the peasantry, whose demeanor to superiors is quite respectful.' This account comes from the very heart of the King's County —that theatre of war, where the lion-hearted Earl of Charleville so lately beat his chamade, and retired to pour his plaint into the ears of Parliament. But now our bold Feer may go back again when he likes, secure that while Sir Robert Peel bears the sway every peasant will touch his hat in passing, and Father O'Rafferty him self, perhaps, ' lessen his big looks.' Such fruits spon taneous spring from a change of men." The Morning Post states, in reference to the compa rative degree of applause with which the healths of her Majesty and of the Queen Dowager are respectively greeted at agricultural and other Tory meetings :—" We aver that at such meetings the health of the Queen is always drunk with such testimonies of loyalty and re spect as Englishmen attached to the constitution of their country, and warm with loyal affection to the person of their Sovereign, might be expected to display. But, say the traitor-sycophants, the health of the Queen Dowa ger is frequently drunk with more exuberant rapture. Well ! what then ? Doss this annoy them ? Do they not know that this arises, in part, from the long expe rience which the country has had of the excellent quali ties of the Queen Dowager, and in part from the slan ders with which they and the faction to which they belong have always delighted to assail that illustrious lady, on account of those exalted qualities with which they and their faction are incapable of sympathy ? " We do not dispute the fact that the Queen's health is now everywhere drank by the Tories with a prodigious affectation of loyalty ; but itis not so very long since the fact was quite the reverse. But the Tories were in opposition then ; and they are in office now, which makes all the difference. As for the slanders with which our Contemporary asserts, that the Reformers have assailed the Queen Dowager, we deny that this illustrious Lady was ever slandered by them ; but we distinctly remember the time when the Tories and their organs assailed Queen Victoria with all sorts of foul calumnies. " The woman Jezebel" is a comparison not soon to be forgotten. The Advertiser thus attacks the Ministers for their conduct as regards the new Poor-law :—" After all their inflated professions, of sympathy for the poor, they now find it inexpedient to consent to the slightest modifica tion of the most oppressive clauses, against which they had previously been so active in directing public execra tion. The discussion was altogethe r eschewed by the Home. Secretary, Sir James Graham, and when it was proposed even to rescind the clause enforcing the sepa ration of man and wife, Mr. Stuart Wortley, who was , on his election, so insensately furious in the indiscrimi nate denunciation of this oppressive but much-vilified enactment, declared it to be inexpedient at the present moment to enter upon it s di scuss i on . S o m uch for the Tories and their symp a thy w ith th e p oo r ! There was no deliberation n ecessar y i n regar d of expelling Whigs from office and installing themselves therein but when the public good, for which only they e pro fessed to be solicitous, claims their attention,time they evade the subject on pretence of requiring for deliberation." y, is asked, nisters in these sophistical terms : in this Session, will The Times apologizes for the dilttyh poli t cy . of - or if Sir Robert Peel can do not hin g he not tell us what he mean s to do bine blind then iexfted?e intro duce them. As they dThoe wiseacres who ask this question must apsoistiitoinontotofraamnne anoun mea sures, he must a not see that, if h ls e o w b e e r i e in n a position the general principles of the Right Hon. Baronet, on the sub j ect of the Corn-laws especi ally, they are per What perfectly well known. more can th e know, except the f his scheme ? Agan, t is asked, why— details o in, i i Manchester gen tlemen desire to if the re p se nt Government do not profess to h ave a ny instantaneous and infallible specific for the wants of the people , did they oppose the lat e Mi n isters, and refuse to try the panacea which they offered to the country ?—and why re quire the New Parliament to assemble at the earliest possible moment, if it was to be prorogued without settling the pressing questions of the day ? Again we answer, is Sir Robert Peel to countenance a quack doctor, and swallow his medicine, because he is not prepared to turn quack himself ? As to the other point, it is obvious that if the Right Hon. Ba ronet had acceded to office at a later period, he would have required the same time for deliberation as 1101 V EVENING SUN. and, therefore, had Parliament assembled later, er portionately greater delay must have taken p lace. -.- The allusion to quack-doctors in the above pal 'sag° 1$ somewhat unlucky on the part of the Times, fol • it in stantly suggests the recollection of the notorious Maln' worth Quack, who, with a degree of effrontery uni .ur passed in the annals of quackery, has pocketed his f ee ' and refuses to give his prescription. Not even the sini nest Hygean pill will he give his patient. There has the I)e° no instance of such an unprincipled Quack withi sx memory of that mysterious personage—" the older r.t in; habitant!" Even the bottle - conjurer wa s a prod' 0"' fair-dealing compared with him! The Herald predicts the following, among other' nor • rors, from an alteration in the Corn-laws: —,6 A n y alte ration in our Corn-laws which would realise Lord Pal; merston's summum bonuml 4 a constant flowing strea l a at foreign corn, without the contemporaneous concessk rec iprocity from the great corn-growing countries, ire i" t i .„ e 11 " be nothing short of an act of national ba nkru p tcy. s hould have large balances of the precious me tals to ,Pald yearly to almost every European country; we a" ll ',. have never-ending adverse ex c h a n g es ; we should have Pe' petual low prices, with their invariable concomitants) re- stricted issues and discounts ; we should be deprived 0 that influence over foreign produce which we now posse: le; in short, our command over the precious metals would'be completely taken from u.s. The mercantile suprenisoi of England is immediately based on the pow er this cou try possesses over the precious metals. This power isa very much the result of superior skill, industry', es all $ energy of our manufacturing artisans ; it generat higher scale of prices than those of countries leal e 5 s! favoured in these respects, and gives to our agricultur_ produce a higher range of quotations t h a n is to be M with elsewhere."
