THE RAILWAY SUN, AND TILE PARLIAMENTARY SUN, ARE NOW RE-PUBLISHED, PRICE SIXPENCE EACH. Sun Office, Aug. 30, 1841. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. I ert..rw..... 10 them. " A Constit' ation," says the Globe, "re garding .numbers as the sole basis of power, is pro kW() an approach to the anarchy which results *am giving legal weapons for the war of the poor -with the rich," and it continues the ar gument to the conclusion, that " the passions and instinct of subversion lurk in the multitude, which .their delegates must necessarily sa tisfy." If such be Whig doctrines, their old toast of the sovereignty of the people was a fraud, and they have as complete a distrust of the multitude, and are as ready to calumniate them, as the Tories. The Globe, and those who think with it, are Afraid of giving " legal weapons" for the war of the poor with the rich; 'out they make no scruple, of which the multitude, now awake to their rights, justly complain of giving legal weapons for the war of the rich with the poor. While the aristocracy deny an extension of the suffrage, lest the poor should use legislation to plunder the rich, they establish as limited a suf frage as possible in order to enable the rich to plunder the poor. The sad and even revolting condition of the industrious classes in this coun try who, by dint of the utmost skill and labour, can scarcely obtain the coarsest means of sub sistence, while idle rent-owners and tithe owners, idle sinecurists, and pensioners, and public servants, who are much better paid than the people they serve, wallow in abundance, is a clear and unanswerable proof that the rich have actually made use of the Legislature to oppress the poor, which they only fear the poor might do to them were they armed with the suffrage. This mistrust and dread of the multi tude, as if they had not as strong an interest in the welfare of society as the select few, arising from a consciousness of having injured them, are at the bottom of that denial of political power which the Globe now advocates, and which power the Whigs must concede before they can be again placed at the head of the people. Considering that a powerful opposition in Parliament and in the country will be ne cessary to inspire the monopolists with re spect for free trade, and keep them from inflicting more bad laws on the country, and considering, too, that the opposition in Parliament can only be formidable, inasmuch as it is supported by the multitude out of the House, we saw with pleasure the toast given at Brentford, and we saw with equal alarm the ar ticles we have referred ;to in the Whig journals. The two things indicate a complete schism, on principle, in our party, which must be healed before it can become powerful. It cannot be expected that the unenfranchised should be con tented, nor can their support be obtained with out contenting them. The Whigs must, there ._ fore, as a party, go far for the extension of the suffrage, whatever may be the opinions of the Globe, Chronicle, and Leeds Mercury, or leave the Government permanently in the hands of the Tories, and see the country exposed•to the continual increase of starvation and discontent. We call attention to our reports in an other part of The Sun, of the successful attempts made last night, at two different parts of the Metro polis, to establish Anti-Corn-law Societies. At both the attendance was most numerous, and the persons present were most enthusiastic. At both the Chartists interposed, sufficiently to show that they take a lively interest in political matters, and wished that a preference should be given to their own scheme for relieving the public distress ; but at both the greater number preferred aiming at the immediate abolition of the Corn-law to procuring an extension of the suffrage. We are inclined to think that it is not wise to put the objects of the Chartists and the Aboli tionists in opposition. Both seek the welfare and improvement of the people ; but the former de- mand an organic change first, while the latter require first a free trade in food. The Chartists only ask for an organic change as a means to an end, and that end is precisely the same as the end proposed by the Abolitionists—the enact ment of just and good laws. So far, then, from the objects aimed at by the Chartists and the Abolitionists being hostile, they are the same; but the Chartists would change the Houses of Parliament to obtain the good law—the Aboli tionists would at once . obtain the good law. The practical question at issue between the parties is, which is more likely to be successfil. The Chartists are of opinion that the abolition of the Corn-laws cannot be obtained without first re-modelling the Legislature; the Abolitionists maintain that it can, by the hearty co-operation of the people, while there is no chance at pre sent of obtaining a great change in the Consti tution. The Abolitionists, it is said, may succeed; the Chartists at present cannot; and as the abolition of the Corn-laws would hasten the re modelling of the Constitution, it is not wise, it is said, in the Chartists to abstain from cordially co-operating- with the Abolitionists. We, of course, should recommend all classes first to direct their energies to the abolition of the Coro law, and rely on that as a means of obtaining a great extension of suffrage. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Persons not in the secret have been surprised at the spiteful and pitiful attacks made by the Times on the Honourable Member for Bath ; and it is appropriately enough remarked, that it is rather singular the plebeian proprietor of the Times should be the first to cry "stinking fish." The fact is understood to be, that the notice of motion given by Mr. ROEBUCK, to transfer the duties of the Somerset-house divan to the Home office, has been found exceedingly embarrassing to those Tory Members who were " open mouthed" to their constituents "about the three tyrannical Poor-law Commission Bashaws." These gentlemen cannot now well shirk the ques tion by " coming Yorkshire" over the electors who have returned them to Parliament, on the understood agreement, that on the first opportu nity that offered they would give effect to their denunciations of the Bashaws in their places in the House of Commons. Mr. ROEBUCK, with his energy of character, and commanding talents, can well afford to despise the petty malice of these low attempts to annoy him, grounded on the faithful discharge of his public duty. Let his origin have been what it may, it would be well for the people were there a few more men in the House of his firm ness, perseverance, and integrity. It may be very well for parvenus, who have nothing but their wealth to recommend them, to wish to bury in oblivion a humble descent ; but surely Mr. ROEBUCK cannot be affected by any such weak ness. The fact of the Times attempting to shuffle out of the Poor-law question, by affecting to doubt Mr. ROEBUCK'S ability to meddle with it, shows " where the shoe pinches." an The duty on foreign wheat, according to the averages ending with Septer , n s b . e r 3, pub lished to-day, is 2s. Bd. Th e average Bd. d duty of the six weeks is 7, the average duty of the week ending as above is 745. id., so that there is no longer any doubt whatever that all the foreign corn now in bond, and all that can be in the meantime im ported, may next week be brought into consump tion at the nominal duty of ls. Had the agricul turists accepted Lord J. RUSSELL'S plan, which we are thankful they did not, the duty now would have been Bs., the price would be increased to the consumer, the farmers would have had a greater degree of what is called protection, and nearly a million sterling more would have been taken from the people to augment the revenue, while more also would hav e gone into the pockets of the aristocracy. The whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday have reached us. Their contents are of little political interest. The Cannier Francais has a very sensible article commenting upon the me's', monstrance of the French Minister P ' ton, against the imposition ' valorem duty upo- mated' into the United States. The Minister had hinted at a French policy of reprisals in the shape of excluding cotton, the staple of the Southern States, from French ports. The Courrier very sensibly condemns such a proposal. "We must not reply to an impolitic measure," observes that Journal, "by a measure still more impolitic. Because the United States impose a duty of 20 per cent. upon our silks, and the articles of French manu facture, and increase the already excessive duties upon our wines, are we to shout out their cotton and tobacco ? We must not forget that if our exports consist principally of manufactured goods, the exports of the United States consist principally of raw materials necessary for manu factures. By raising the duty upon cotton, we should but aggravate the position of our manu facturers, and make it still more difficult for them to compete with foreigners." This is quite cor rect. Any additional import duty upon cotton from the United States would destroy altogether the cotton manufactures in France. It is true that France might import cotton from Egypt, but independently of the inadequacy of the supply, the Egyptian cotton is only suited to a limited number of coarse fabrics. And if to evade the direct import duty, the cotton of the United States was shipped to Liverpool and thence re shipped to Havre, the heavy port dues upon fo reign vessels and other incidental charges would throw the whole carrying trade into the hands of British and American traders. This would inflict a very serious injury upon the French snipping, which, although we would profit, we are not the less desirous to point out. Much as French Journalists suspect our friendship, we truly affirm that we would prefer seeing France adopting a wise and liberal commercial policy to any prospect of our profiting by her errors. The French Minister of Marine is reported to have ordered eight ships of the line to be placed in ordinary. The squadron under Rear-Ad miral CASY, consisting of six ships of the line, is preparing to put to sea. The aspect of affairs in America, in Syria, in Candia, and in Tunis, is too threatening to admit of an immediate naval disarmament. The Revue des Deux Monde and the Journal des Debats are at loggerheads about the foreign policy of France. The former panegyrizes M. THIERS, the latter lauds M. GUIZOT. The one is all for a war of Revolutionary Propagandism, the other for a return to the absolutist policy of the elder Bourbons. Both are mistaken; but as the question is rather a French abstraction than a matter of fact, we shall not enter into it. We notice it here to indicate the class of subjects which now engage the pens of French Journalists. Some curious details of the incidents which led to the evacuation of the Military [Hospital at Mahon are noticed in the French Journals. It appears that the notification that the Spanish Government would not renew the lease of the i.iand, was not made direct to the French either by the Spanish Arnbsssador at Paris, or through the French Minister at Madrid, but throue:h the Governor of the Hos pital and the Consul at Palma. M. GUIZOT was exceedingly indignant at this procedure, which he represented to the Spanish Govern ment as insulting to France. The Spanish au thorities shuffled out of the affair as best they could. M. GONZALES pretended that the Span ish Government was not at all aware of what had taken place, hut that an inquiry would be substituted and the persons implicated would be punished. To this M. GUIZOT replied that inquiry was useless ; as, after such an insult, France would not renew the lease. It is possible that the Spanish Cabinet thought a more respectful mode of proceeding would be met by excuses which a friendly power would find it difficult to resist. But by wounding the pride of France the surrender was immediate, and the removal of the sick almost instantaneous. The storm at first raised against the census is now lulled in almost every part of France. The Government has triumphed, but in order not to push matters to extremity no new taxes will be imposed, nor any modification of existing taxes will take place before the meeting of the Chambers. Meanwhile the fortification of Paris advances rapidly. The KING ex presses astonishment and delight at the ce lerity with which the works are progressing. Monarchical France disfigured her capital but with one Bastile ; Republican France glories in the elevation of fourteen, and a wall of circum vallation mounting 2,000 pieces of cannon! And to this is French freedom ! The Romish Vicar-General of Cochin-China in a letter to the Holy See reports the death ' of the Emperor MINGH-MENGH, so infamous for his persecution of the Christians. During the last ten years of his reign, many thousands of Christians, numbers of them of high rank, were tortured, and put to the most cruel deaths for professing the religion of CHRIST. The Priests were everywhere sought out and murdered. The writer expresses a hope that with the death of this tyrant will terminate these cruel persecutions. PARIS, SEPT 7.—The Earl and Countess of Gran ville leave Paris in the course of a fortnight for Nice, where the Noble Earl proceeds. for the benefit of his health, and, in all probability, will sojourn during the Winter. The Count de Chazelles and M. Desmireil, who have recently been appointed delegates of Guadaloupe, have announced their acceptance of the office to the Minister of Marine and Colonies ; and have been re c'tived in private audience by seveaal of the Ministers. The Atalanta frigate has arrived at Brest from Brazil. The King of Hanover, on passing through Cologne, re ceived the Directors of the Cologne and Aix-la- Chapelle railroad, and expressed a favourable opinion as to its proposed elongation to Hanover. A Royal Ordinance, dated Eu, 24th inst.,basdissolved the National Guard of Villenouville, near Toulouse, which had sent an address to the National Guards of the latter town, congratulating them on their conduct dur ing the disturbances. — Another ordinance of the 20th has dissolved the Na tional Guard of Montesquieu-Volvestre, for the same cause. The following are some particulars which have transpired respecting the Council of Ministers held on Sunday " The Council was engaged only about thellquestion of disarming, which was resolved on as a measure ne cessary to be published, in the first place, to satisfy the demands of the Powers, and especially of England; and secondly, to facilitate the operations, by means of which, as we announced some days ago, the Company to which M. Humann is reduced, may make a tender for the loan, and not demand the annulling of the contract, in case w . serious circumstances, as was stipulated by the houses of, Rothschild, Eskeles, and Jina in the last. " The reduction of the army was immediately resolved on, but the disarming of the fleet led to animated de bates. Though published at present, the number of ships will not be fixed till the next meeting of the Chamber. "M. Humann wished that the giving up of the con tinuous we.ll should be announced at the same time, but the vite of the Chambers is so positive on this point, that M, Humaun's proposal was rejected."—La Gazette de France.

Now whatever may be the friendship subsisting between Mr. Roebuck and Jonson, it is quite evident that the writer of the article in question has no pretensions to the honour of even the slightest acquaint ance with " rare old Ben," or he would have known that Bobadil is no boy at all, but a bullying old Ont.:- whose constant boast is of the servic" ' while the character of tbs comedy of Eve- hath seen ; angry boy is not in the y Idan in his Humour, but in the Alche ._, wnere he is called, not ,Bobadil, but Kastrit The source of Ow pgstA te is Washing- nips had laca t rd pf Sheridan ,celebrated retort : up on ffldent.

It seems perfectly clear that the Whigs can only recover their strength by falling back on the people. That is the mother earth they spring from, and they must touch it again to get back into power. Accordingly it was well done at the Whig dinner given to Mr. BYNG, on Wed nesday, to make "Extension of the Suffrage and Vote by Ballot" one of the most conspicuous toasts. It was well dune to place that toast in the hands of Mr. WARD, who put himself too prominently forward in resisting Mr. S. CRAW FORD'S amendment• to the Address, embracing an extension of the suffrage. The Hon. Member had :111k opportunity of explaining his conduct to the salt sfaction of the assembly. He proved by his conduct at the dinner that he was not hostile to the extension of the suffrage, though from a notion of Parliamentary etiquette, and a much greater deference to the House of Commons than the public think it deserves, he threw obstacles in Mr. CRAWFORD'S way. The Hon. Member well observed, enforcing on the Whigs around him the truth we set out by stating, that the Tory aristocracy could only be resisted by the middle classes en listing the sympathies and interests of the masses. Conformably, therefore, to the true interests of the Whigs, the party assembled at Brentford advocated an extension of the suffrage. But while the Whigs at that meeting were propounding a just and wise doctrine, a Whig journalist was inditing a.!paragraph deprecating an extension of the suffrage. We copied it yes terday into The Sun, and from that it appears that not only the Globe, which has been supposed to speak the sentiments of some Members of the late Cabinet, but the Morning Chronicle and the Leeds Mercury, both being also leading organs of the Whigs, are of opinion that the " Parliamentary constituency wants expurgation much more than extension." This is an unhappy schism, which strikes at the root of all zealous co-operation amongst all classes of Reformers, and shuts out those who most need the aid of the people from all claim on their support. The bulk of the landowners, the bulk of the priesthood, and a large proportion of men of property in the towns, are opposed t 9 the Whigs. From them the Whigs can get nothing, because they cannot pos,ibty serve Conservatives as well as Sir R. PEEL. They can only get strength from the people, and three of their leading organs contemptuously reject the condition on which alone the people can be even asked to support them. It may be that the opinions of the journalists are merely those of individual editors which are not adopted by the party, but if so they ought to be publicly disowned and reprobated. To give such a toast, and not to repudiate the opinion of the presumed organs of the Whigs, gives a colour of truth. to the Tory accusation, that the Whigs arc double faced, and wish to use the people for their own purposes, and will deceive and betray them. The ground on which at p resent the Liberal press people for supp or t i s , th at a ppeals to the monopoly of all kinds is injurious ; but three of t he journals which make that appeal are the advocates of a monopoly of legislation. Not con tented, t o o, with the pr esent narrow mono poly, they w ish to make it narro wer an d more exclusive. If the Whigs mea n t o t h row them selves wholly on the Conservatives, a n d sepa rate themselyes a ltogether, and for ever, f rom the original source of their power, they do right in acknowledging the Globe, Chronicle, and Leeds Mercury, when they advocate a more limited and more aristocratic coustituency. What is the motive for this suicidal policy ? Not a principle, for neither of these journals contend that one man or one class has not as good a right to share in the Government, and in making laws, as another. Neither will affirm that the poorest man in the kingdom is not affected by laws equally with the richest, and therefore needs quite as much as the other the political power which may serve to protect him The immediate motive is, we are afraid, personal vexation. The Whigs have been defeated. It cannot be denied that bribery and intimidation have contributed to that end, nor that these lave been chiefly effective with the poor and the dependent. Hence these writers jump to the conclusion, that with fewer poor and fewer dependent vusers the Whigs would have triumphed, and hence they I become advocates for Lord STANLEY'S plan of • contracting the constituency. They would fashion it to ensure, if possible, a perpe tual triumph to the Whig party and Whig 0 principles. They are rigid monopolists after ~, .., . tlaeir own fashion, and if th ey cont i nue to es ‘ la It !ri ) g t l4 I gkiii principles, we must, in all cases, as in "----- c• -- --- ihiS c.dse, - arate ourselves from them.

The death a Mingh-Mengh, Emperor of Cochin- China, is announced in the French Journals of Tuesday. This tyrant persecuted the Christians for ten years with more than Japanese cruelty. His common mode of ex terminating them was by crucifixion. His death is.re garded at Rome as a special interposition of Heaven in favour of the Church. His successor is stated to be a very tolerant Prince. The storm which burst over London en Friday last was felt at the same time over every part of France. At Lille the lightning struck a tree within forty yards of the powder magazine. Had it reached the magazine, the destruction would have been terrific. The affair of Didier of Grenoble is again revived. Up wards of eighty letters written by the Duke de llecaze:. , have been discovered. The Commerce begs that no pains may be spared to clear up this myste rious transaction. It might be much better •to bury it altogether in oblivion—at least during the life-time of the principal actors in it. These are truths which the world is the better for not knowing. The Hungarian papers announce the creation of a National Hungarian Bank at Pest. The Editor of a Dusseldorf Journal has been con demned to six months' imprisonment, and deprivation of civil rights for five years. for a defamation of a private individual. The sentence involves the suppression of the journal. The Duke of Bordeaux according to a medical certificate published in the Augsburgh Gazette, will be perfectly restored. The bones of the broken limb arc perfectly united, and the length and form of the limb are the same as before the accident occurred. There is now no appre hension of any unpleasant consequences to be entertained. The cure will be complete, and the fracture will leave no trace. We learn from Madrid of the 31st that the Spanish authorities had not the boldness to tell the French Go vernment that it must evacuate the Isla del Rey at Mahon. It secretly ordered the local authorities at Minorca to inform the French there to evacuate the island at the termination of the lease, on that mode of proceeding being communicated to M. Guizot, he expressed his astonishment and displeasure to M. Hernandez, the Spanish Minister at Pa: is. The Spanish Government, on hearing that the affair had taken a reverse turn, sought to throw the blame on the local authorities, but M. Guizot, as he did not wish, under all circumstances, to retain the island, against which Great Britain had remonstrated, would not be appeased, and declared that the French Government would eva cuate the island on the expiration of • the lease, and re move the sick to the Hyeres Islands. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Postsay :—" The Whigs may say what they please of the domineering and exclusive temper of the Conservative party, but the public know that such representations are not true. The Conservative 4 party is not founded upon the principle of exclusion, or mono poly, or preference of this Or that great.interest, but it is founded on the inclusive principle—on the principle of bringing together all whose views of improvement may be brought within the circle of respect for existing institu tions and theprinciples of the constitution as now settled." —The " views of improvement"of the Tory Cabinet are just about as extensive as the views that one gets of a landscape through a small hole in a brick wall. The Ministry is decidedly a monopolist one, based on the stand-still system of policy, and have scarcely one sound, healthy feeling in common with the bulk of the commu nity. The appointment of the Duke of Buckingham is a proof that they will not err on the side of liberality ; and in the adhesion of Sir James Graham we have a voucher that principle will not go for much in their esti mation. In a word, the Government is a patch-work combination of political Sectarians and Exclusives, which will drop to pieces the instant that the link of self interest which now binds them together, is broken. The Advertiser gives the following sketch of Lord Lyndhurst :—" Lord Lyndhurst, though the least noisy of the leading men in the medley Ministry, is one from whom the popular cause has perhaps, as much to dread as from any Member of it. He is cool, calculating, and cunning ; so insidi ous i n hi s d es i gns , th a t even those in most frequent and familiar intercourse with him, are as little liable as others to have their suspicions ex cited. In this respect he is more dangerous than Sir Robert Peel himself ; and what aggravates the evil of Lord Lyndhurst's admission into the new Cabinet, is the intensity of the hatred which he bears to everything which wears the semblance of popular principles. He is the most noted apostate of the numerous apos tates with which the Peel Administration abounds."— This is no exaggerated portrait. Lord Lyndhurst started in life as a " Whig and something more"—that is to say, he had a strong leaven of republicanism about him; he then veered round and joined the ultra-Tory party; but finding. that they were declining in influence, he attached himself to the fortunes of the more Liberal Tories, the headed by Canning. He next deserted them, and joined Peel and Wellington, with whom he has since continued to act; and whose obsequious tool he will continue to be, till he finds it his interest to jump Jim Crow once more. He is undoubtedly an able man, but whenever mischief is brewing, he is sure to be among the first to stir the cauld ron. Like his illustrious prototype, he is always busy in a high wind. as The Tuneslowsi— resumes "An immense imm lts en P s rs eatbOs od body of the To the ery constituencies Ministry in each of the three United Kingdoms are appealed to a second time, on behalf of the constitutional principles which they so nobly contended fer in the late Contest I nor have we a doubt that their flintier choice, both as regards measures and men, will be eagerly ratified, without exception, by the return of all the Members of the new Ministry who now solicit a renewal of their confidence. Among their many titles to public stipport arising from their talents ; clittfattet, and aptitude for business, the parka disinterestedness by which they are actuated in undertaking the labours and responsibilities of office must, doubtless, be R paramount consideration in tedoniniaddillg them to the renewed. stdil-egei Of the electors."— To speak of the " perket disinterestedness" of such men as the Pelt of Buckingham, Lord Lyndhurst ; and Sir James Graham, is a perfect absurdity, at which they themselves will be the first to laugh. We would give something to see their faces while reading such Itypoeri• tical eulogiums ; they would manage, no doubt, to pre- serve their gravity till they came t o t h e wor d s " perfect disinterestedness," when Sir James Grahath would be sure to burst into a shout of laughter, only to be equalled in violence and duration by the sympathetic roar of Lord I Lyndhurst. Nothing Indeed can be richer than the ta,m of the " perfect disinterestedness' of a man who, not five years ago, publicly avowed his " utter want of eena dence" in a Premier whom he now joins heart and soul! In reference to Sir Robert Peel's Irish appointments ; the Chronich observes :—" lit has dared te tend to fen , land as Lord Lieutenant a men WheSe efthection with one of the most noterietit Orange officials in that coun= try, it might have been supposed would have sufficed ttl mitigate the hostility of the ext reme p art y : B ut ho; Lord de Grey, though the brother-hr.law of an Orange • grand master, had not yet pas s ed the tifk 4ai MHO Lord Haddiagton had been Hilly qiihlitied, and already is the new Load Lieutenant warned of the fate that awaits him,. so surely as he dares t o govern Ireland in a spirit of moderation or impartiality:, Lord tliot is, we believe, a selection as little ObjettiiinitUitt Sir Robert Peel could Well have made. Yet for Lord Eliot's suspected moderation, the appoint ment of such men as Blackburne and Jackson it not deemed a sufficiently bigotted eottntervolse !" The Orange party are already op hi arms against Sir Robert Peel, and with the de attacking him on one side, and the O'Connellites on the other, he will have a plea. sant and tranquil time of it. A bold, vigorous Tory would have sided with the Orangemen ; and at least have had one class to back him through thick and thin but the Right Hon. Baronet is not a hold Tory ; he is a tricky, timid time-server, who by endeavouring to trim between two parties, and oscillate, like a pendulum, now to one, and now to the other, will disgust both; The following is from the lierett 1..;h distin guishing trait of a great mrtttvli tai the Irish people that their political difttitnee; are greatly embittered ; and their Rtray virulence - vastly augmented, by the distribil tint ell public patronage ; and this jealousy shot ha to much arise from selfishness as tenni the rlispfttlitiftiliti existing between the adherents to the tAle religion and to the Dissenting faith.

AGRICULTURAL. The floods of rain which came down on Friday and Saturday last caused the Severn to rise most rapidly, laying the adjoining lands under water. The coldness of the season, added to these rains, has been exceedingly unfavourable to the harvest. In Worcestershire the barley crop has been mostly carried, but will not be a heavy one. Of wheat, even on the early soils, there will be scarcely an average per acre. Oats are good, peas a fair crop, and turnips look well. SCIENCE AND ART. At a late sitting of the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M. Colladon gave an account of experiments made on the Lake of Geneva, relative to thr propagation of sound. Under favourable circumstances he considers sound may be transmitted through the sea for a distance of 60 Eng lish miles: • LAW 811,11) POLICE. At Worship-street on Wednesday, Lewis Ashford and. Benjamin Valentine, Jews, were charged with having assisted in the robbery of the creditors of David Cha poski, a Polish Jew, trimming-manufacturer at Bethnal green. Ashford had been employed by Chaposki to go about the country to sell tassels, fringe, &c., and about five weeks.since, being provided with 401. worth of these goods, obtained a free passage to Sydney. His employer heard of this, and obtained a warrant, which was exe cuted in Holland preyious to the day he was about to leave for England, and he was brought to London with part of Chaposki's property. Next day, when the charge was brought against him, the prisoner accused his em ployer with being as guilty as himself, since which Cha poski has not been heard of. Valentine was apprehended on a charge of being an accomplice of Chaposki's, who had become a bankrupt last April, and assigned all his property to his creditors ; but the articles produced, as well as other hidden property, were not in the schedule presented to the Court. The prisoners were committed for trial at the ensuing Central Criminal Court. John Quin, and a well-known beggar, named Hogg, were charged at Marlborough-street for attempting to obtain money from several Members of Parliament, by representing themselves as inhabitants of the different boroughs which they represented, and soliciting alms. They were sentenced to one month's imprisonment. An application was made at Lambeth-street, on the part of the Teetotallers accustomed to assemble on the first floor of a large building in Glasshouse-yard, Rose mary-lane. Mr. Jacks, who occupied the lower part of the building, as a wine and spirit merchant, had ignited a quantity of straw at the bottom of the stairs, with the in tention of " burning the teetotal Paddies out." Mr. Jacks, in defence, complained of the nuisance occasioned to him by hundreds dancing Irish jigs over his head, and by the vibrations breaking his bottles. The annoyance being thus pro and con, the Magistrate said he should put the law in force against the party first offending next time. Daniel Whittle Harvey, Esq., the City Police Com missioner, has ordered that no police constable in future have power to enter a dwelling to make search without a Magistrate's order. ELMOTXONIEEILING. James Acland, Esq., has addressed a printed circular to the electors of Tamworth, calling on them to support him as a candidate against Sir Robert Peel. The attention paid by the Liberal electors . of North, Northumberland to the registration will effectually pre- elude the return of two Tories again. . . Mr. Gisborne, formerly M.P. for Derbyshire, ifito pose Mr. Gladstone for Newark. SPORTING. Owing to the lateness of the harvest shooting did not commence about Cambridge till Monday. Sportsmen complain of the scarcity of birds, doubtless arising from the wetness of the season. One sportsman states that in a field in this county nearly fifty young partridges were found, which had no doubt perished from the inclemency of the weather. COURT--PASHIONABLE. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston left town yes. terday for Broadlands, in Hampshire. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have left town for Trentham Hall, Staffordshire. The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland intend passing the Autumn at Newton Houses, their seat at Yorkshire. The Earl of Derby is now in the enjoyment of better health than he has had for some years past. The Marquis of Londonderry left town on Tuesday. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne left town on: Wednesday for Bowood. The Dowager Countess of Essex intends to visit Rome, and winter at Naples. Viscount Melbourne will leave town to-morrow for Woburn Abbey. Lord and Lady John Russell intend to pass the autumn at Endsleigh Cottage, Devonshire. His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Hesse Phi lippsthal left town on Wednesday, on a visit to the Queen Dowager, at Sudbury Hall. He travelled by the London and Birmingham Railway. Mr. Henry Labouchere, late President of the Board of Trade, arrived at Antwerp on the 3d inst. by the Soho steamer. IVXISCEMILANMOUS. The Standard observed a few days ago that the Mi nisters had been invited to dine at Claremont, but some of them having pressing engagements in town, declined the honour. Now it happens that they did not decline the honour, for they had not the opportunity of doing so. The truth is, they were not asked ! Eight minutes of Sir Robert Peel's conversation seems to have been quite as much as her Majesty could endure in one day. The annual festival of the National Swimming Society took place on Wednesday at the Green Man Tavern, in Uatordciiitreet.--=gle Robert Peel should take lessons in swimming of this society, •in order that he may be enabled to keep himself afloat on the troubled waters into which he has just plunged. All Irieh Orange paper has already made the discovery that Sir Robert Peel "is no Solomon." We beg our Contemporary's pardon. The Tamworth Quack is a Bolothon, butslike his famous brother Quack of Liver pool—he is a Doctor Solomon 1 POLITICAL.

Mr. Braidwood, with five of the en glues from Farringdon-street and the adjacent station?, arrived; but from her. being about half-load - eel found it impossible to get to the seat of the fire, and the only alternative left to save her from complete destruction was to scuttle her, which was ac complished about two o'clock, when she was sunk level with her deck, and the fire in the tipper part was very speedily e4inguished. Endeavours were made to ascer tain the eause of the calamity, but, singularly e nough, not a sikg)e individual connected with the ship could be found. All the information that could be obtained was ' that 4ie was about making her first voyage muterr the• auspices of the New Zealand Company.

The Moniteur Purisien announces that the negotiations commenced with the Belgian Com missioners, on the subject of the treaty of com merce„. had not been broken off, as stated by a morning journal, that a conference was held be tween them and the Minister of Commerce on Tuesday, and that one of the Commissioners had set out for Brussels to procure certain documents judged necessary for the negotiations. The Toulonnais of the sth inst. mentions as po sitive that six ships of the line - under Admiral Cary would shortly sail for Brest, and. that the rest of Admiral Ilugon's squadron will probably be ordered to Tunis, " where British influence was daily gaining ground." The ships Trident and Hercules suddenly put to sea on the 4th, for, it was believed, the Belearic Islands. At A.vesnes, on the Ist inst., the people rose in arms against the revenue agents, who had come to execute the census, and compelled them to retire. Great preparations were making at Neuilly for a grand dinner to be given by the King in per son to the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry, of which his son, the Duke d'Aumale, is Colonel. The guests are expected to amount to upwards of 3,000, M. Kaufmann had left Brussels on a commer cial mission from the Belgian Government to - Spain. Our private accounts from Madrid of the Ist inst. state, that the anniversary of the revolution of September was celebrated that day with great eclat and enthusiasm on the part of the people. The reception given to Espartero by the troops and National Guards proves that the Regent has not fallen in their estimation. The Gazette publishes a decree which extends the amnesty of the 30th of November last to all Carlist soldiers and officers below the rank of Colonel, on conditian that they shall take the oath of allegiance to Queen Isabella, to the Re gent, and to the constitution of the Monarchy. By anotherdecree theßegentconferreddecorations on all the survivors of the fatal revolutionary attempt made _at Almeria in 1824, and recommended special honours to be paid to the memory of lion Pablo Iglesias. The new tariff is to come into operation on the Ist of November next. Ac cording to the Hablador the Government will shortly obtain the advance of 60,000,000 of reals. 'The 'Bourse remained closed on account of the feast. In Barcelona the anniversary of the revolu tion was also celebrated with great• public re joicings. Our St. Sebastian letter of the 4th instant con firms our previous announcement, that Queen Christina had given up the resolution of proceed ing for the moment to the frontiers of Spain. The Nuremberg Gazette of the 4th inst. men tions, that the religious differences between Prussia and the Holy See had been at last satis factorily adjusted. The Moniteur Ottoman of the 18th ult. states. that the Sultan had conferred the order of the Nischan Iftichar on the Emir Beschir and the Patriarchs of Jerusalem and the Maronites. A circular had been published by the Reis Effendi raising. the blockade of Candia. The Porte had granted a general amnesty to the insurgents of that island. Reschid Pasha was preparing to `leave for France, and had already paid several visits to the members of the corps diplomatique. Advices from St. Petersburg, of the 26th ult., state that the grand hall of St. George's, in the lately rebuilt winter palace had given way, and that all the splendid Italian paintings and vases, valued at several millions of francs, had been destroyed. MONEY and COMVIERCIAL NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. Still we have to record the prevalence of the most extreme inanition in the Public Securities, the brokers generally, indeed, making sad complaints of the little business they have at present to transact on behalf of their clients. There is, however, one cause which ought not to be overlooked, contributing materially as it does to the dullness, viz., the closing of the transfer books for various Stocks which are favourite sources of invest ment with the public at large. For immediate transfer Consols were to-day marked 894 to +' and for the 14th of next month, 894 to 90. Exchequer Bills were I Is. to 13s. premium. East India Bonds were not dealt in. The New Three-and a-Half per Cents. were at 98+ to 4. The market for Forei g n Stocks continues to exhibit symptoms of a downward tendency. The news from Madrid is nevertheless of rather favourable character. The Active Bonds only brought 21 l to s ; the Passive, 5 ; Brazil Stock realised 67+ ; the French Five per Cent. Rentes were at 114 50 ex. dividend, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. realized 51i to 1 4 1 . The Share Market is not dull at present, for sales are daily effected even if it be at a turn in favour of the buyers, many parties having more pressing employment for their money. Great Western were to• day marked 12 -; the New 3i to ; the Fifths, 3i- to ; the York and North Midland, 25 ; the Gosport Junction, I ; and the South Western, 111 to 11 premium. Brighton were 44 to 34 ; Blackwall fell to 15 ; 'Manchester and Leeds were 10+ ; North Midland, 36 ; and Birmingham and Derby 45 discount. London and Westminster Bank Shares were 1+ premium.
