The seeking by others to hinder him from shooting begot ` .1 .1e desire to slioot. The mare precaution they took to Prevent. 111111 shooting, th,7; more stringent they made th e -laws to attain that ohiect, the higher in their estimation,- and of course in his, became the value of the privilege they reserved to them selves, and the stronger became his desire to ex ercise it, or to shoot for liiuself. When nobody took the troubl e to hinder him, the desire died away, and he could not be tempted by a chance of the best sport to leave his occupation to go a-shooting. The princiole involved in this anecdote pervades the whole of society, and it is pregnant with instruction. Every monopoly, from that great original mo nopoly of the soil to the monopoly of the wild birds that feed on it, has to be hedged round and maintained by prohibitions and restrictions. The • more these are multiplied and sharpened, the * : a, , ,;„.ai Au MI o , r. 7.. • dr Ttg, ffinitt THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1841. higher the general estimate of the value and im portance of the monopoly is raised,. The more extensive, too, they are—meeting men at every turn, the more continually the ideas of that value and importance are forced on the mind, and the more urgent they become as motives for action. In many cases they become over whelming, and every human power is defied in obedience to them. It results therefrom that no monopolies whatever should be created, and no peculiar privileges should be granted and en forced, which are . not strictly and demonstrably necessary for the public advantage. Even the monopoly of the soil—except, as Mr. LOCKE says, securing to each man who tills it as much land as he improves, cultivates, and can use—is not de fensible. No idle whim of a class, no fancied advantage to a nobleman, no caprice or desire of superiority in the members of any sect, should ever tempt the Legislature to bestow on them monopolies or exclusive privileges, unless the Legislature wishes to provoke those desires which, in general, legislation is intended to re strain. A priesthood, for example, is endowed ' to check enthusiasm ; but endowment strengthens it by worldly avarice, and the land becomes flooded by ambitious priests of various sects, each anxious, by exciting religious enthusiasm, to found and preserve a dominion over the minds of other men. They are prompted by avarice to take advantage of the natural religious feel ings of mankind to reduce the enthusiasts to de pendence on the order of priests. Legislators ought, on this principle, to take the utmost care not to multiply decrees, orders, prohibitions, and restraints, because the inevit able consequence is, that they continually pre sent to the minds of the people the idea of some body seeking to hinder them, and thus cause the very actions they are solicitous to prevent. Every action has its own natural consequences, and every object its own natural attractions or re pulsions for the mind. Prohibitions and re straints alter these natural consequences, and give a false value to the objects and an erroneous bias to the conduct. Take the preservation of game and the Game-laws for an example. Ex perience has demonstrated that common daily labour, however poorly paid, being steady and in demand throughout the year, generating habits of temperance and frugality, is infinitely more advantageous to the labourer than poach ing or hunting or shooting. But these latter have been made so attractive by the false value given to the objects by prohibitions and restric tions, and such an erroneous bias has been given to the conduct, that there are multitudes of men who, like WALTER, will dare anything, will violate the laws, trespass on their neighbours' property, and imbrue their hands in blood, because somebody seeks to hinder them from taking game. When such consequences result from decrees, restraints, and prohibitions, it be comes extremely difficult to say how much of the criminality which at any time pervades society is the consequence of the "natural depravity of man," presuming that to exist, or of that great system of restraints and prohibitions which is founded on a theory and justified by reasoning, and which a great mass of law-makers ar.d public writers are continually anxious to extend. The case of WALTER is only an illustration of the very general statement, "I had not known sin, had you not prohibited it ;" and at least com mands men, with urgent vehemence, to decree no restraints and no prohibitions, till their utility, taking into account their effects in promoting the crimes forbidden, be unanswerably demon strated. In defiance, however, of this plain and yet certain rule, the greater number of political writers think they can do nothing so advisable as devise new restraints and prohibitions. Besides starving men to death—heinous enough offence in monopoly—it seems to have the addi tional evil effect of disturbing and perverting the natural relations of man to the objects of creation—perverting his judgment, erroneously biassing his conduct, and rendering him ha moral. Our country teems with invasions of the right of property ; we sanction much of our immorality by law ; and there seems little chance of amendment as long as we act unceasingly on the principle of seeking to hinder men from performing an immense variety of very innocent and even praiseworthy actions. Laws are made by ignorant men, very little ac quainted with the bearings of their own enact ments, and still less acquainted with the vast phenomena which constitute human society; and it cannot, therefore, on reflection, excite any surprise if it should turn out that laws, re straints, and restrictions, cause a much greater number of crimes than they prevent. The attention of the public was yesterday at tracted to the instruction given by the Church and the two Universities, by the Tory Herald and the Tory Post. The observations of both were suggested by the recent conversion of Mr. SIBTHORP from the Church of England to Popery. We are not surprised that such an event, though now far from unexampled, should deeply affect our Contemporaries. To them it must be as much a cause of sorrow and lamen tation as it will be of rejoicing and exultation to to Dr. WISEMAN and the Lord Mayor of DUBLIN. The Ultra-Protestant member of the Cathedral town of Lincoln will henceforth probably re member his brother, and hold his peace, instead of attempting a dull joke against Maynooth and Mr. O'CONNELL. It must contribute to bow down with affliction many a Protestant horn now exalted with pride, which the observation of our Contemporaries will not contribute to raise. The Herald says-- The secession .of Mr. Sibthorp from the Church of England affords another striking illustration and expcsi- Lion of the mystery of Puseyism, and of its close and essential connection with the mystery of Jesuitism. Here is a man of accomplished mind and of high family lost to the cause of Protestantism by listening to the suphis . tries of Messrs. Pusey and Newman, and depend upon it he will not be the last—for the cause of this declension from Protestism is not accidental. It is laid deep in the re cesses of that system of school logic which still reigns supreme and pre-eminent in the University of Oxford. The followers of High Church, Low Church, and no Church, are but the successors of Remus and Occam. The subterfuges of conscience find an easy retreat into all the varieties of mood and figuro. Some bellow out for Popery, because they think that the Church of Eng land is too nearly allied to the principles of Noncon formity, and others would admit Dissenters to the Uni• versities, because they deem the Church of England too Popish and exclusive. But it followed, as usual, that extremes meet, and that whether you pursue the Low Church of W hateley, or the High Church of Newman— the cause of Protestantism and the Reformation is equally endangered. We again say—that until the University of Oxford expel s the system of logic now taught from i ts schools, the minds of.the English clergy will never be at rest. There will be a perpetual vacillation between Popery and Liberalism. That is the description given of the teaching of the University, and of the doctrines taught. They unsettle mer e s minds; they teach them to vacillate betw een good and evil; men infidels or bigots. Nor is the description which the Post gives of our national religion " much more encouraging. The Establishment, intended to preserve and prescribe one faith, seems, according to our Contemporary, to admit within her bosom—as we know, in fact, from the lastounding diversity of doctrines which are taught from her pulpits —men of almost every creed. ) hisntotthsoougsthernshn hrda2rigid - a mother Our C some Church (says (says tli would e have d er mularies fitted for even the most sternly a minded men as to the bounds and limits of orthodox}lldly: If a man be but of a reverential tem p er, not wi seinli: own conceit, nor over anxious to thrust his own peculiar notions upon the acceptance of others, the Church of England will allow of ample enough range for his Christianity, without his rushing forth into the trackless wilds, and inextricable thickets of Dissent. And it, on the other hand, a man be of that mind which leads him co seek a shelter for his religious hopes within narrow bounds, and under authoritativ e protection, he may find that comfort too within the Church of England, and without submitting his mind to the despotic devices and the intoxicating ceremonials of the Church of Rome. The consequence of this laxity is thus men tioned : The religion of the people of England bad become a kind of Christianized ethics, 9f which the Protestant Churches were the public schools, acting under the au thority of the State. It was recognized rather as a branch of public decency than the vital principle of the nation. What it was most zealous in was not a faith of its own, but a protestation against the too much faith of others, delivered in the coarse language of triumphant ha tred The hatreds, which were mistaken for religion, found their way into the Acts of Parliament and_ Custom House oaths, but our Prayer-book (a copy of the Roman missals) remained a sublime epitome of Ca tholic Christianity. Church of Englandism, then, is a protes tation against the faith of other men, de livered in the coarse language of triumphant hatred. What a beautiful, humane, and exalted creed! The people will thank the Post for such a graphic description of the faith of the tithe owners. Catholics and Dissenter's, with all who are opposed to religious intolerance, will be grateful to it for acknowledg ing that our Acts of Parliament for the preservation of the State Church, for ex cluding Catholics and Dissenters from political power, were founded on that hatred, expressed in coarse language, fbr the faith of others, which is the vital principle of Church of Eng landism. The natural consequence of such a political religion is thus described by the Post : Many had grown weary and faint under the burden of mere Protestantism, which is, with regard to Church matters, a formulary of non-belief, and therefore no sup port at all. They wanted a belief and a guidance other than that which their own fallible judgment gathered from the original documents. They were going over to Rome, when the Tractarians stepped in to show them that the Primitive Church afforded all they wanted, and that the Church of England is the true depository of all that the Primitive Church had, without the admixture of modern fancies and strange unedifying observances, which have disfigured the simplicity of the Catholic faith in the Church of Rome." This is quite edifying; the protestation against the faith of others, expressed in the coarse lan guage of hatred, had made many weary with this formulary of non-belief; but then the Trac tarians stepped in and showed that the protest ing system of hatred of others' faith, and the formulary of non-beliet; was not true religion. There was a primitive Church, differing alike from the too much faith of Rome, and the no faith of protesting hatred, which has been re covered and founded by Dr. PUSEY. Puseyism, according to our Contemporary, is a new reli gion, neither Roman Catholicism nor Protes tantism, different from both ; and that new reli gion, while it still hypocritically wears the garb of the Establishment of hatred, and is selfishly nestled in its extorted wealth, is expected by its authors to work the regeneration of the people. But when such a correct description is now given of the non-belief of Protestantism, by the very men who, at the same time, laud it as hav ing heretofore been the salvation of the State, with its strife and its hatreds, what must be our enormous credulity if we can hope anything from this new phasis which Dr. PUSEY would give to non-belief and protesting hatred? The other Tory authority, quoted first, tells us that Dr. PUSEY and Dr. NEWMAN are leading men astray by their sophistries, that the root of the evil lies in the school logic which reigns su preme at Oxford, and that the system of edu cation there adopted distorts and corrupts the mind. The one convinces us that the whole education of Oxford is a disgrace to the age, the other that the established Protestantism, so long honoured, is a system of hatred and a disgrace to humanity. The cross fire of these two best possible Tory instructors, one aiming at the University and the other at the Protestantism established at the Reformation, seems very likely to blow up the whole system. Toryism is condemned out of its own mouth. Truth is extorted from it, and it curses its own creed. We have long regretted, and so must every well-wisher to his country and his kind, that the University and the priesthood, which have so much influence over the minds of our statesmen, by controlling their education, should adhere to doctrines so little in accordance with modern knowledge. To regulate the affairs of the poli tical world by the doctrines of either Pro testantism or Popery, is a rank absurdity. Yet " protesting hatred against other mens' faith," is the corner-stone of the instruction given by the priesthood. It is an insult to the mighty genius of England, to the caln?and profound wisdom of BACON, to the searching sagacity of LOCKE, to the intrepid and far-going analysis of BERKELEY, yet to retain the logic of ARISTOTLE, and yet to teach the mysticism of PLATO at our Univer sities. It is utterly impossible that men who lived two thousand years ago can be of use as guides in the present state of mankind. It is utterly impossible, too, whatever may be taught at the Universities, to prevent the events which daily happen from making an appropriate impression on the mind, and from teaching their own lesson. It is utterly impossible, therefore, to prevent the knowledge which experience brings from being at variance with the teaching of the priesthood, and of the Universities. Un fortunately, the latter, to a considerable extent, mould and influence the minds of statesmen, who read nature through the darkened glasses, with which they are hood-winked at College, and wear during their lives. Hence, between them and society:--between their legislation and the national wants—there is perpetual friction. which at this moment threatens a vast social conflagration. The capital of Scotland must, indeed, be a frightful place to live in. Madrid or Rome, when the Church was every thing, and the In quisition was in its full vigour, could scarcely be worse. Till the Non-Intrusion mania sprung up, the authorities in Scotland rarely interfered with the observances of the Sabbath. The education of the people, their habits and national pride, led them to regard the first day of the week with a holy and religious reverence, aad to refrain as much as possible from worldly pursuits on a day set apart by universal consent for solemn duties, and rest from labour. Now the case is different. The clergy, and the lay authorities in some districts, not con tent with this voluntary homage, have deter mined to make the observance of the day so strict, that the people, and chiefly the lower classes, are forced to rebel against them. Not many months ago, a Kirk Session prohibited the people from burying their dead on a Sun day. The people resisted the tyrannical ordinance, and resolved to have a burying ground of their own. Travelling by coach, or railway, or steam-boat, forms a theme for long discussion at almost every meeting of a Church Court ; nay, even practices of still less moment, have lately occupied a Kirk Session at Edin burgh. Nothing is too small for the visual organs of these holy inquisitors. Will the people of England believe that a respectable shopkeeper in Edinburgh was sent to gaol for twenty-one days to pick oakum for selling sweet-meats to children on a Sunday 1 The prose cution was instituted on the information of a clergyman of the Established Church (the poor man's Church) who " gloried in his place in the Presbytery that he had prosecuted a poor man under such circumstances, and boasted t hat it would be a long time before the man would he able to pay the fine by selling sweeties." The Chief Magistrate of Edinburgh, a crazy Non-Intrusionist, not only justified the atrocious deed, but ex claimed in a fit of enthusiasm, " If such a daring and wilful violation of the law of GOD were not put down, all reverence for the Sabbath would be lost." And this is the way in which Lord Provost FORREST would make the poor love the Sabbath-day. The unfortunate victim. it appears was fined Bs., added to which were 11s. for expenses of Court, and a fee to the Procurator Fiscal (public prosecutor) of 21. 2s. While the poor man was working like a felon in was indeed," of prison, from hi s i na bili ty to pay 3/. i s ., his wife and child were reduced to the greatest di stress . th a e id To M wn r.

And can such cruelties be permitted in a Christian land' While Sir JAM ES FORREST, - in his scarlet robes of office, and the Reverend persecutor, are s i ng ing praises in the church, time " sighing of the prisoner," and the - cries of his afflict , (l wife and dying child, will reach the ears of Hlai who "delighteth in mercy rather than in sacrifice." Need we ask, which will be the more. •effectual ? Such a mockery of all that is sacred, and just, and merciful, will do more to create unbelief in the doctrines these- men set forth, than all the writings of =scoffers and infidels. The LORD PROVOST, and Mr. GUTHRIE, the cler gyman, should be tried for bringing the re ligion of the country into contempt. They do infinitely more mischief than the works of PAINE and CARLILE, and should be made to " read their sin in. their punishment." In the concluding sentence of Mr. ROBERTSON we cordially concur. It will find a response in every well-regulated mind. " The fact was," said he, " that those self-righteous individuals were fast bringing Christianity and the Gospel of peace into contempt and hatred. For his own part, he would rather be an infidel than the prosecutors of this poor man on such a miserable charge, and under such circumstances. It might be a short road to the Eldership to give information against this poor man ; but he doubted very much if it was the quickest way to heaven." We have received Madrid Papers of the .3d inst. In the Gazette of that date we find the annexed decree of the REGENT suspending the payment of the 30,0001., granted by the cOrtes, as an annual pension; to the perfidious and pro fligate widow of FERDINAND Vlar " With a due regard for just po ttical considera tions, and for certain motives of public prOpriety, in my quality of Regent of the kingdom, during the minority of her Majesty Queen Isabella IL, and with the concurrence of the Council of Ministers, I have decreed as follows :—From. this moment, and until the adoption of a new legislative measure, the pay ment of the grant allowed by the budget to her Majesty the Queen-Mother, Maria Christina, of Bourbon. is Sus pended. You will receive this as decided, and will see to its execution. "I)UCA DE LA -VICTORIA. A. M. ANTONIO GONZALV, "Oct. 20. "President of the Council of Ministers." The unfortunate Brigadier QUIROGA Y FRIAS was shot on the 3d instant at Madrid. The fol lowing account of this sad and deplorable event is from the pen of an eye-witness:— The wretched woman, Maria Christina de Bourbon, and those by whom she has been impulsed and assisted, deserve the execration of the poor people of Spain for the calamities and sufferings that some of the best families in the country are undergoing, through the infamous conspiracy in which their rela tives and friends were cajoled to join. Brigadier-General Don Gregorio Quiroga y Fries, is another of the vic tims ; his execution took place at ten minutes after one this day, at the Campo de Guardias. The sen tence being read to him while standing under the colours of the first battalion of National Guards, which was on the spot, he pre pared to meet his awful fate as became both a man and a Christian, arranging his worldly concerns with peculiar nicety, leaving one-half of his property (he was very well off) to his poor mother, whose only son he was—the other half, by the new law of entail, goes to his cousin, M. Campu zano ; he parted with the many friends who called to bid him adieu in apparently good spirits, break fasted cheerfully this morning with his friend Brigadier- General Larina and two clergymen, and, accompanied by them, got into the open carriage, precisely at one, dressed in full uniform, wearing. the stars of his orders, &c. He was observed to smile on an acquaintance he perceived among the crowd, but became deadly pale as he walked prom under the regimental colours to place himself in front of the firing piquet ; he told the soldiers that he would not give the word of command to fire, because it was against the wish of his confessor that he should do so. Handing his hat to the Rev. Gentleman, whom he requested to transmit to his mother the cambric hand kerchief he placed under one knee, he met his fate with apparent resignation, but the men fired so awkwardly that a second discharge became necessary. Poor Quiroga, whom I was intimately acquainted with, was thirty-eight years of age, a most gentlemanly, intelligent, well•educated, and amiable man. M. Vial, the son of the gentleman of that name, who was Spanish Minister in London, in 1832, has likewise been shot at Bilbao. Four officers are to be shot in Madrid the day after to-morrow. The Madrid papers of the 3d inst. are loud in their denunciations of the intrigues of France. The projected marriage of a French Prince with the young Queen is general ridiculed. "We invite," writes the Ministerial Expectador, " all those who, faithful to a policy of old standing, dream of such a marriage, to remember 1808, and not forget that the blood of the Spaniards of Pavia, St. Quentin, Baylon, and Tolosa still flows in our veins. We ran to arms in 1808, and in 1814 we drove from our territory a Monarch sup ported by the colossus of the age. In 1841 we still feel strong enough not to permit that the King of SPAIN should be a Prefect of France." Madrid Bourse of the 3d.—Fives, 27 for cash, 28 at GO days. The Corresponsal of Madrid gives the following de tails, which are not without interest, of the last moments of INlontes de Oca:—" When h e arr i ve d at the spot fixed upon for the execution, he got out of the carriage, and, after whispering . a few words to his confessor, he looked calmly around him, and walked w ith a fi rm s t e p i n f ron t of the picquet charged with his destruction. He remained standing after the first fire, and merely made a slight motion with his hands, which were placedin the pockets of his paletot. A second discharge was necessary, and this time, having been struck in the head, he fell. It was necessary, however, to fire into his ear to put an end to his existence. His courage from b eg in n ing t o end was admirable ; his physiognomy, which was smiling, and full of manly expression, profoundly interested all who were present. Montes de Oca was the intimate friend of Espar tero, but quarrelled with him when he refused his approba tion to the nomination of Linage to the rank of Major- Gen. Montes de Oca, Gen. Don Francisco Narvaez, Minis ter of War, and Don Calderon de Collantes, Minister of the Interior, preferred giving in their resignation to con curring in this appointment." The Corresponsal gives the copy of a paper, in the h an d wr i t i ng o f M on t es d e Oca, and which was found upon his person, but states that he constantly refused to reveal the name of the per son to whom he intended to send it. In this paper he complains of having been abandoned for a fortnight in the midst of the terrible circumstances by which he was surrounded, and states that if he had been possessed of arms, and especially money, the cause of the Queen would have had an army of 20,000 men to resist all at tempts upon the Basque provinces. The paper con eludes as follows:—" If we let the present opportunity pass, the cause of our Queen is lost for ever. Tell me frankly what kind of assistance we may reckon upon from the exterior, the state of our diplomatic relations, and, above all, the wishes of —." The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all reached us. In the Journal des Debats we find a very remarkable article, the purport of which is that France is on the verge of a great revolution, which threatens to upset society. " The question is no longer," writes the Debuts, " whether the KING. ought to reign or govern, or whether the Constitution ought to be interpreted in such or such a sense, but whether social order, the Government, and the Constitution, shall exist. The revolution which threatens France cannot be termed a de mocracy or republic, but purely and sim ply spoliation. This is the truth, of which everybody is conscious, except some Par liamentary doctors, who are enclosed in the Chamber of Deputies as in a catacomb, with out hearing or seeing ought of what is passing in the world. • • • It appears as if we lived under some fatal spell. We speak of the Chambers' Parliamentary de bates, of the i nv i o l a bili ty o f the KING, and of the Representativ e G overnmen t, while an attempt is made to assa ss in ate the KING ev ery year, except when his child ren ta k e his place. Calumny prepares the attempt to mu rder the KING, which is itself only a means to an end." The re publican National admits the statement of the Debuts to be true so far as regards the upsetting of the present Government, a'id glories in it. " You plead," says the latter Journal, address ing the Debuts, " a fatal cause, and you are conscious of it. We plead a just cause, and we likewise are conscious of it. And this is the reason w h y N. 011 see with bitter pain the present escape towards the past, while we se e better times ap proach. T h ence y o ur apathy, and our activity. You have already one foot in the gr ave , Whil e we are r i s ing into life." The Natio na l, i n our opin i on , here falls into the trap set f or i t b y theDebats. I t ev id en tly do es not see the drift of the Debats' gloomy representa tion of the state of France. It Ibrgets that QUENISSET'S trial comes on next Monday, and that the Chambers are soon to assemble, from which t h e Ministers ant i c ipat e a sto rmy opposition. Th e D e b ats wan ts to frighten the people, and t o provoke the Republican press into new indi scret i ons b e f ore the meeting of the Court of Peers on Monday. It will succeed. " We have now in the Mediterranean," says the Globe (of Paris), " thirteen sail of the line, six more. have gone round from Toulon to Cherbourg ; fourteen other armed vessels, principally frigates, are at sea ; and we have besides, alt ready for sea, twenty corvettes of 30 to 16 guns, thirty-two brigs of 20 to 10 guns, thirty-eight , flotilla-boats, twenty-eight transports, and thirty war steamers." The Chamber of Commerce of Nantes has addressed a memorial to the Minister of Commerce on the colonial sugar trade, adopting the same view of the case as the Chamber of Commerce of Bordeaux. The annual interest of the national debt of Holland is 74,700,405 florins, or nearly 100,000,000 francs. A German temperance pamphlet, the fourteenth edi tion of which has just appeared, called "Das HausKreuz," reckons that the number of drunkards in Prussia is 270,000, in Hanover 300,000, in Hesse-Cassel 13,000, in Mecklenburg 10,000, Lippe 1,600, and Waldech 1,200. A drunken vagabond was arrested a few nights since in the Rue Montholon, vociferating " Vive le Due de Bordeaux !" "J'aime le Duc de Bordeaux ! " On being brought next morning before the Commissary of Police, he declared he' had no recollection of having uttered sentiments so contrary to his real opinions, and was convinced that he must have shouted, or at least meant to shout, " Vive le Vie de Bordeaux ! " " J'aime le Vin de Bordeaux ! " The rogue's ingenuity did not save him from being committed. The Courrier de Lyon contains accounts from various parts of the Jura of the great damage done by the late storms. Numerous bridges have been washed away, with houses and other buildings. A great deal of land is still under water, and considerable quantities of farm ing produce have been destroyed. The Cour Royale of Douai has annulled the sentence of the Correctional Tribunal of Lille, which had con demned Messrs. Bianqui, Savary, and Coffy, to various periods of imprisonment, for illegal conduct on the oc casion of the census, and sent them before the Tribunal of Municipal Police of the town, on a charge of noctur nal rioting. ; On the sth inst., as - a number of journeymen carpen ters were at work on a new building near Bolbec, in Normandy, four ,of them were struck down from the roof to the ground by a heavy beam which fell upon them. Two were taken up dead, a third was in an almost hopeless state, and the fourth very seriously injured. A letter from Trieste, of the Ist inst., states th a t the King Otho steamer, on her way from Venice to Greece, had been obliged to put into Cuezula, the Queen of Greece, who was on board, having suffered much from sea sickness. It was expected that her Majesty would be able to resume her voyage in a few days. The Hanover Gazette states that the personages who, under the Royal patent of July 3, have been appointed to authenticate the signatures of the Prince Royal of Hanover, were sworn into their new office on the 3d instant, in the presence of the King, the Prince, and the Members of the Cabinet. " A report is current," says the M'oniteur Parisien, " that a house of the first rank in the linen and calico trade has stopped payment for several millions of francs." The Gazette de France says that the house is that of Messrs H—, J—, and H---, of Mulhausen, manufac turers of toiles peintes. " The liabilitieS of this house," it adds, " are estimated at several millions of francs. A great number of workmen were employed by it." The Gazette says that the Procureur du Roi has had an inter view with the Syndic of the Agents de Change, on occa sion of the absconding of M. Bonnet. We have authority to contradict, as totally without foundation, a paragraph which appeared in this journal on the 26th ult., extracted from the Cork Examiner, stating that Lord Holland had been converted to the Roman Catholic faith, while at Rome in September last. His Lordship has not been in that city since 1835. The Memorial d'Aix relates that, a few days ago, the keeper of M. Laboulie, the owner of a large landed estate in the Commune of Saint-Antonin, perceiving a band of known poachers on his master's property, and satisfied that they were about to commit their usual depredations, went and obtained the assistance of three gendarmes. The poachers, fifty in number, were found seated round a blazing fire, getting their breakfast. On being re quired to show their licences to shoot, they refused to do so, declared that they were sworn to implacable hatred to the rich, and threatened, if the gendarmes made any attempt to molest them, that they should all be killed. Finding their opponents too numerous, the keeper and gendarmes were forced to retire; but as several of the poachers are well known, active steps are taking for their apprehension. Three men of desperate character, who had committed, several robberies and assaults in the immediate neigh bourhood of Paris, where they have been long known as among the worst frequenters of the low coffee-houses and wine shops at the Barriers, were tried the day be fore yesterday, before the Court of Assizes of the Seine. One of them, whose conduct had been the most violent and atrocious, was condemned to hard labour at the hulks for life ; a second to fifteen years' hard labour in the hulks ; and the third to ten years' solitary confine ment and labour. All three were also condemned to stand in the pillory. 'We learn from Rome that, on the 26th ult., the Por tuguese Ambassador Extraordinary, the Chevalier de Migueis, had an audience of the Pope, and delivered his credentials. The Viscount de Carreira was also received by his Holiness and took leave. He was to come imme diately to Paris. The Sentinelle of Bayonne states :—"Colonel Rizo, who was at Vittoria with a squadron of his regiment of cavalry, when the movement took place there, had been sentenced by a Court Martial to three years' confinement in irons ; but Espartero, not satisfied with this judgment, has reversed it, and had him tried again by men more devoted to himself, who have sent the unfortunate officer to the galleys for life. Vittoria is calm in appearance, but in reality is in apprehension that the Regent will be levying a contribution upon it."—The Phare says that the sentence on the colonel is ten years' confinement in a fortress. A letter from Constantinople, 20th ult., in the Leipsic Gazette, says :—" The English have not yet evacuated Saint Jean d'Aere. The Syrian soldiers, who have re turned from Egypt, are becoming a scourge to the country. They do not enter into the army, but go about offering their services to the Druses, the Ma ronites, and the Naplousians. It is said that Mehemet Ali, on sending back these Syrians, applied to the Porte through the mediation of England, to send home the Egyptians also who are in the Ottoman army, and who are 16,000 in number. The question will not be brought before the Divan until after the feast of the Ramazan, and, although the application is well-founded it is not thought that the Sultan will comply with it." The Expropriation Jury assembled at Versailles on Saturday last to decide upon four claims for immunities for loss and damage occasioned by the formation of the railroad bet Ween Paris and Rouen, in the department of the Seine et Oise. The first two were by the Mayors of Carrieres-Saint-Denis and Houilles for lands required from their respective communes, and for the loss they would sustain by the alteration in the direction of roads. Carrieres-Saint-Denis demanded 37,000 f., but received by award of the Jury no more than 650 f. I and the claim of 100,000f.,_made in behalf of Houilles, was reduced to 1,600 E ! The third case was a claim, made by the Civil List, of 46,224 E for about 35 acres of the Forest of Saint-Germain. The advocates for the Company, after hearing the evidence and arguments in behalf of the Civil List, left the question entirely to the discretion of the Jury, who awarded the full sum. In the fourth case the town of Poissy had made a claim for 25,500 f. ; the Company offered 10,000 f. On coming before the Jury, the town reduced its demand to 18,000 E, and got an award for 15,000 f. The last number of the Breton announces that an officer of Engineers left Nantes on Friday for the pur pose of proceeding to the disarming of a part of our coasts, and to send back to the arsenals the pieces of cannon, which are injured by the sea air. It is doubt less to hinder them from being damaged by the s ea air that the provident Cabinet of the 29th October disarms a part of the ships of the line in our fleet.—National de !'Orient, Nov. 8. The Putriota, a Madrid journal, pretends to know positively that M. Salvandy, the French Ambassador, will very shortly set out for Madrid, when he will be ab'.o to form a better idea of the state of Spain than he could have done before the late attempt in favour of Queen Christina. The Olservateur de Pyrennes (a journal of Pau), of the 7th inst., says:—" On Thursday last a detachment of Spanish refugees who entered France with General O'Donnell passed through this town, coming from Nay and returning to their own country by virtue of the amnesty which has been granted to them. This detach ment, with the exception of a small number of men grown, was entirely composed of youths between fifteen and eighteen years of age, and even still younger. One could not conceive on seeing them that it could have entered into any body's head, to carry on a civil war with such soldiers."—Commerce. The Dix-Nieucieme Siecle has the following para graph:—" It seems that the preliminary investigation in the proceedings against Quenisset are terminated. This affair has more ramifications than was at first supposed. There will be eight persons among those arrested very seriously implicated. If we may rely on information de rived from good authority, it is not merely an isolated assassination that the Court of Peers will have to try, but a real plot. At the moment of the commission of the crime several individuals posted near St. Eustache, in the midst of the confusion caused by the death of the Princes, were to fall on the post of the municipal guard, to disarm it and commence an insurrection.—Constitu tionna COCKNEYISM" or TILE TIDIES.—This once pow erful Journal, which every day was wont to strike some chord that vibrated through the . heart of the empire, has now descended to the very lowest grade of twaddle, and every day puts' forth trash worthy of an ancient Alderman. Sir C. Hunter himself could not surpass an exquisite specimen of genuine cockney simplicity which appeared in its pageS yesterday. A compositor, who has taken an accurate gauge of our Contem porary's foot, wrote to explain.the great distress to which the compositors are now exposed, and which is unhappily both intense and wide-spread. In this letter the " Mighty power possessed by the Times" is spoken of. ItS " noble and gene rous efforts in the cause of suffering humanity" are praised, and it is supplicated to do fbr the compositors what " it has done for Frenchmen, Spaniards, Poles, .starving Irish, Highlanders,, and distressed Spitalfields weavers." That Journal is described as " issuing a history of the world for a day -to the inhabitants of the four quarters of the Glithe," . witlimuch more flummery of the same kind. The compositor, knowing his men, administered a dose of flattery which would have choked a dog. In acknowledging the many compliments the Times ingenuously says, " we like both the spirit and the style in which the letter is written," and it offers the writer a place in the establishment of the Times. Speak- ing for the public, it declares that it likes the gross flattery of the Times. This is genuine cockneyism, gobemolleherie of the biggest swallow. After the Times has thus certified to the merits of the Times, what will it not believe itself and endeavour to make others believe? SHARP PRACTICE.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes are putting the inhabitants of many of the London districts to great inconve nience by the mode they have lately adopted for raising . money. Circulars have been sent round beginning thus :-,-- " Pursuant to directions from the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, I have to inform you that in a sche dule delivered on ie Bth instant, in compliance with the Acts relating to the land and assessed taxes, by the col lector of your parish, to the receiving officer for this dis trict, you are returned in arrear, after demand made, for the undermentioned taxes, payable on the 20th of Sep tember last." It is then intimated, that unless the tax is paid forthwith, processes will be commenced, and the persons in arrear will be saddled with costs and expenses.. During these hard times, probably one-third will be unable to pay within the period. This mode of raising money is contrary to practice, and meetings should be held to protest against it. It is a fair specimen of Tory Government. They demand six or nine months to consider what to do for the relief of the people, but they will have the money out of their pockets in less than six weeks. Public meetings are being held all over the country to address her Majesty and Prince Albert on the happy birth of the Illustrious Stranger. The county of Cornwall ought to take the lead, followed by the principality of Wales. Lambeth is booked for to-morrow, at the Horns, at three o'clock. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—The Houses of Lords and Commons assembled yesterday, pro forma, for the purpose of further proroguing Parliament by Royal Commission, until Thursday, 21st December. The :Lords Commissioners were—the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Buckingham. and Lord Wharncliffe. No Member of either House of Parliament was present, ex cept the three Lords Commissioners ; and the Commons were represented by Mr. Lee, the Clerk of the House of Commons. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

QUARTER TO THREE. _ The fine weather, cheering as •it is, does not prevent the anticipation of a gradual decline in the duty on foreign corn, before the spring fairly sets in, until the minimum rate is attained, and this is likely to prove another disturbing cause in the Money Market, as re gards the Foreign exchanges. In the meantime, the receipts of silver from South America have been of material relief, as a remittance to the Continent; but these we cannot always hope for. We perceive that our contemporary, the Chronicle, has wisely taken up a point to which we drew attention under this head some short time back, viz., as to the effect which damp and inferior wheats, under the present system, are allowed to have upon the official averages. It is evident such parcels, being unfit for consumption, do not afford a fair basis upon which to calculate the average value of food, since a party going into the market to buy such an article as was proper for human food would find that he must pay considerably higher for it. In this way foreign corn is kept from u 4, when domestic grain of good quality is in reality so high, as to justify a lower range in the scare of duties. .
