The speech of the Rev. Dr. ATKINS at the opening of the Anti-Corn-law Conference at Matschester, embodies a very frightful, but a very correct picture of the state of this country. Arrived, as England is, at the highest pinnacle of greatness in arts, of glory in arms—abound ing, as s h e d ws, in enormous masses of un wieldy wealth--srolling, as she is, in the . most re fined and expensive luxury—extending, as she does, her sway stud her commanding- moral in fluence to the remotest nations; it is a fact as true as it is lamentable that thousands of the most useful class of her subjects are at this moment in a state of utter and absolute starva tion. With wealth enough in England to pur chase the fee-simple of half the world, it is de plorable to think of the masses of human beings, not only in the manufacturin g districts but in this great metropolis, whom hunger is hourly sweeping into a premature grave. Let the philosopher who would wish this subject to sink into his soul, take a walk any day in the week from Charing-cross to Cheapside. At every step he will survey right and left of him heaps of gold, and of silver, and of precious stones, and piles of bullion and countless wealth, in all the various forms in which luxury causes it to be consumed. When he has surveyed all this, and marvelled at the riches of the men who purchase and revel in these luxuries—who feed out of gold and silver dishes, and drink out of gold and silveincups—who ornament the liveries of their lacqueys, and the harness of their horses, with preciOus metals—lot him turn into any of the countless alleys and lanes running out of his main path, and contrast, with what he has seen, the sights of human suffering and degradation which will there arrest him at every step. Let him pass through Shoreditch, and explore the pur lieus of Drury-lane and St. Giles's, and if what he beholds fills him not with horror, there is little human about him, save the form. Here he will find once strong, and still industrious men, reduced to the condition of walking skeletons; women once innocent, perhaps virtuous, in whom the hunger of the body had killed the soul; and wretches dying with want, whom the crumbs from the table of the rich man's menial cast heedlessly to dogs, would restore to health. Whence this wide inequality in the condition of English society? We •answer, in a great mea sure from party legislation—from the robbery by Parliament of one class to elevate another. The landlords make laws to suit themselves at the ex:sense of the working classes. What their aucestors did in the feudal ages at the head of a gang robbers, they do by means of an Act of Parliament--viz. plunder those too defenceless to resist then!. Of all descriptions of Par liamentary robbery,. that effected by the Corn laws is the most wicked and the most detest able. In other robberies, the property is as sailed, here the life is attacked. And after wit nessing, the deplorable misers caused among the poor by the high plice of food; aacr learning the ravages of diseaze Produced by b:td and in efficient quantities f diet, ran We arrive at any other conclusion than that there 'laws are most prodigal in the exti,::tion of ? The eloquent statement of the Rev. Dr. AnciNs upon this point cannot be to o serious7.y reflected upon : "What, he would ask, was the present state of the British Empire ? This country, possessing within itself * inexhaustible resources, whilst it was the richest in the world, was, in one sense, also the poorest. Its popula tion, instinct as it was with ardour, and unrivalled for its industry, was unemployed and in want. Looms were silent—manufactories were closed—commercial men looked at each other in consternation and despair ! What was the condition of the poor artisans and pea sants ? Their lank arms hung idle by their sides —their grim visages were pallid with privation and care—and their worn forms exhibited but the skeletons of men. What is the cause of such a state of things ? It was to be found in the laws which prohibit the" exchange of labour for food. Our population see abundance in the countries around them, hut they are debarred from en joying it. Like the poor disciples of a poorer master, they shake their tattered garments and say, " Gold and silver have wa none, but we will purchase your corn by our industry." It was to put an end to such an unwise and unnatural system as this that they were assembled— to put an end to it, not by violence or clamour, but by means equally scriptural and constitutional. The moral atmosphere was charged with thunder-clouds. If the tempest burst upon the country, it would carry desolation in its track." The moral atmosphere is indeed charged with thunder-clouds, and woe to those foolish, self confident legislators who provoke the bursting of the tempest. What effect the Conference now sittingatManchester may have upon the councils of Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends, we pretend not to say; but we know that the effect upon the country will be immense. But it NI ill by no means serve as a conductor for guiding the storm innocently over the heads of the Tories, if they persist in withholding bread from the mouths of a famishing people. Of this fact we warn them to rest entirely assured. The distress in Paisley has reached to such an extent—the prospects of the manufacturers arc so utterly hopeless, that a numerous body of the most valuable operatives of that once flourishing town are addressing the Crown, the Cabinet, and the country, for the means of clothing them, pre paratory to their expatriation to Port Philip or Sydney. The misery must be indeed great, and locally irremediable, which compels whole fami lies to exchange the familiar scenes of childhood, the pleasant trysts and haunts of youth, the old hearth hallowed with ancestral foot-prints, and the old church-yard, rendered sacred to me mory and teeling by ancestral ashes—those siient but impressive witnesses of the best reso lutions and the reciprocation of the holiest affec tions—for chance home in the last resting-place of the violators of the laws of GOD and their country. A tree cannot be uprooted without suffesire,s Without the greatest care in the tramsplantation it perishes. The roots of a fa mily strike far deeper in the native soil than those of the largest tree. They extend over hills and dells ; they derive life and nurture from streams, moors, mountains, lakes, old ruins, and older traditions. Poverty inflicts no pain so great as when it tears up these roots, and casts man forth like a weed upon the waves of the world, indifferent where he may find a spot into which be may be transplanted. And yet to this lamentable pitch of wretchedness have a large body of the industrious operatives of Paisley come. Nor does their misery originate in any fault of theirs. In no part of the United King dom are the operatives a class more moral, more intelligent, and more industrious than in Paisley. If they have taken a more prominent part in past political movements than their fellow-workmen in other districts, it is because they were always somewhat in advance of public opinion. Though for the most part self-taught, they did not rest satisfied with a smattering of political knowledge. They established trades' libraries, organised courses of lectures, and encouraged, to the utmost of their means, experiments in science. But neither their knowledge, their skill, nor their industry, .could save them from the starvation effects of the Corn-laws. The markets for shawls and cottons became gradu ally more restricted in those countries whose corn we refused to purchase, as they, in retalia tion, were obliged to manufacture shawls and cottons for themselves. First, prices declined; next, manufacturers were obliged to put their men on half time; and at last employment ceased in a great measure altogether. The wealthier classes in the vicinity of Paisley, so Isubscriptions, and employment upon the roads. But to the industrious, self-depending operative, the bread of charity, in whatever form doled out, is always bitter, and the poor working peo ple of Paisley, finding from the triumph of the Tories on the Monopoly Starvation-law that hopes of improvement in their con dition can no longer be entertained, call upon their country for the means of covering them with the necessary raiment for a decent and civilized appearance in New South Wales. Weary of dependence, and hopeless of amelio rating their condition at home, these poor people are eager to seek in other climes the means of earning an independent subsistence, and, as they well and touchingly expressit, " of freeing their native country from the burden of supporting them, and of contributing to the extension ofher MAJESTY'S Colonial Empire." Their prayer will surely meet with attentive ears and open purses on the part of that branch of the oligarchy of the country who support the Corn-laws. Cal culating, as they short-sightedly do, their gain by the extent of the poverty among the manufac turers, they will surely not refuse to assist in expatriating those whom they have, by starvation, made heart-sick of their country. Hopeless indeed is the condition of that coun try, for whose miseries emigration is the only, or even the best remedy ; but as no other can at present be applied with such expedition in the manufacturing districts, it is a work of !mercy to assist in promoting it. We could better spare any class of our fellow-subjects than those inge nious artizans who have produced the bulk of our wealth, and who will carry away with them those arts which will sooner or later render the colonies the formidable commercial rivals of the mother country; but as we would not see them perish with hunger and nakedness, it becomes a duty to contribute to the procuring the only imme diate remedy for distress so deep and so urgent. With the strongest desire not to dry up the fount of charity in any quarter, by regarding a question involving the fate of a deserving but unfortunate body of operatives in a party point of view, or attempting to turn it to mere party purposes, we deem it a duty to impress upon the British people how comp l ete l y i t demonstrates the necessity of a radical change in the com mercial policy o f this country. It is all very well for the agriculturists to call for protection, Protects bat when what c o a t e n c e t y s , th them e involves the ruin, the men expatria tion by charity of thousands of honest and industrious artizans, only a wicked and pro r it to at the fiigate Legislature could consent e:el exclusively grant ant them. To protect one class expense of the lives of another, is nothing short of murder. I s it just or reasonable to leave the landed oligarchy in possession o f the high rents of which the Corn-laws plunder the people, that they may have money to squander in gambling, in keeping . raci ng _ studs, in maintaining an army of powdered la c _ quryq, and in corrupting the poor voters b y bribes at elections, while thousands of indus trious, sober, and intelligent operatives are obliged to appeal to the country for the clothing necessary to defend them from the inclemency of the weather in a voyage to Sydney ? A thou sand times we answer, it is neither just nor rea sonable. This cry of the poor for bread will reach Heaven, and evil will befal the wicked and selfish men who, to increase their own wealth, continue the accursed taxes upon food. We anticipated yesterday the news contained in the French Journals of Monday. The fol lowing details of the riot at Bordeaux, from the 31e;;u».ial Bordelais of the 14th inst., are suffi ciently interesting to claim insertion in our co- " Disturbances, of which it is impossible to appreciate the true character, took place here (Bordeaux) in the night of the 12th inst. Some say that they had their origin at the theatre ; others assert that for some days TITIE SUN LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19 Is4l. past-tertaiti persons had been endeavouring to excite them, and that the vote of the Municipal Council on the subject of the census was considered by them as admi rably suited to their purpose. We regret to say that these persons found a great number disposed to listen to them, and for an instant there was reason to fear that the tranquility of our city was seriously menaced. Groups assembled on different points, and uttered cries in the front of the houses of some of the municipal councilors; their doors were also violently struck, and stones were said to have been thrown at the windows, the pertttr bators withdrew only in presence of an armed force. The disturbances were renewed yesterday evening, and the number of the rioters was greater than on the preceding night. Lamps ; were broken, doors were forced open, and dreadful menaces were made against the members of the Municipal Council. All these dis turbances lasted for a long time before the armed force interposed. We hope the authorities will in future dis tribute their force better, and adopt all necessary mea sures to prevent a recurrence of such tumults." The same journal states that a disturbance took place at the theatre on the evening of the 12th instant, on the occa sion of the debut of a young performer. " After-listening patiently during the first two acts of Lucie, the public," says the Memorial Bcrdektis, " rose en masse to protest against the too evident want of power of the:debutunt. We do not know what the stage manager came forward and said at the commencement of the third act, for the noise was so great that it was impossible to hear any thing. A Commissary of Police thought fit to order the theatre to be cleared. We think the public had a right to express their disapprobation, and are not surprised at bearing that the subscribers intend to protest against the conduct of the Commissary on this occasion." The people of Germany appear to evince some curiosity to inspect the person of the warlike I\i. TRIERS, who is now sojourning among them.. The following graphic description of his inter view with M. HOFFDIANN, is from the Journal dc Frankfort : THE BANKS OF THE MAINE, AUG. 13.—M. Thiers met at Cologne M. Ernest Emile Hoffmann, deputy of Hesse Darmstadt. M. Hohmann invited him to dine at the table d'hotc, saying that all were desirous of seeing him. He an3wercd " But, Sir, I do not travel to show myself." It is true, said the :Deputy, but others travel see you. You are a Frenchman, and as such you should be polite, and not withdraw. M. Hoffnaann had engaged M. ThiErs to change his :plan of travelling, and pass by Arnsbcxo• ' and Cassel. Ile told him he was deceiving himself, if he thought any propaganda. - would dispose the Rhenish population to a union with France. Ba assured, said he, in case of a war, ie will all march, and I among the first, against France. Whoever has toll you the contrary, has told an untruth. We like to see France great, and the triend of Germany, but we will not submit to her despotism. Revolutions are not spontaneous, 'they are brought on forcibly by the tyranny of Governments. There remains much to be desired in Germany, but we expect all in time. Loyal men repudiate revolutionary means, and all Germany partake their opinion. It is mine. You have had the prudence to keep silence, and you only listen." M. Thiers smiled, but did not speak. M. Hoffmann fur nished every body with an opportunity to speak to M. Thiers, and all were delighted with his language and manners. The Courrier Francais has a querulous article on Spanish ingratitude and English busy bodyism. This Journal says that ESPARTERO refused to renew the lease of the little island of Del Rey at Mahon, where the French have an hcspital. Of course, our Gallic Contemporary n-:akes the discovery that ESPERTERO'S refusal was dictated by Lord PALMERSTON. Unfortu nttely for the veracity of the Courrier, M. GUIZOT did not ask for a renewal of the lease, ESPARTERO did not, there fore refuse it, and consequently Lord PAL MERSTON could not have dictated such refusal. France chooses rather to abandon Del Rey than to witness the establishment of an English hos pital in one of the Balearic Isles. In this the French Government acts a wise and a prudent part. The following are extracts from these Papers:— A letter of the Bth inst., from Meiningen, informs us that the beech-tree, planted on the 6th of May, 1521, on the spot where, on the preceding day, Martin Luther was urrested by five horsemen in disguise, and carried to the Castle of 'Wartburg, has been blown down by a vio lent storm. The tree, though it had existed more than three centuries, was still vigorous, and bore wide-ex tended flourishing branches. Some pieces have been do-• posited in the vault of the church at Steinach, with a ceremony at which three of the descendants of Luther, living at Mocha, the village in which the father of the Reformer was born, were present. The Duke of Saxe- Meiningen has ordered a monumental fountain, in the Gothic style, to be erected where Luther's beech stood, to be surrounded by a grove of trees, and to bear an appro priate inscription. Amongst the numerous improvements for which Denmark is indebted to her present King, the publica tion of the budget is one of the most essential. That for 1841 has appeared, being the first document of the kind ever exposed to the people at large. The excess of the revenue over the expenditure for the year is 702,120 rix-dollar., or 0,502 7 51.5 Aecurthug to modifications whieks-e'rne — Adiainstrartetr, rtyiN---binithea increase. The army is from 15,000 to 20,000 strong, and the navy is composed of 6 ships of the line, 6 frigates, and a proportionate number of corvettes, brigs, schooners, and cutters. The expense of the army and navy is put down in the budget at 3,562,600 rix -dollars, or 17,640,496 francs. The- Comercio of Madrid says :—" We have re ceived intelligence, via Cuba, that on the Ist and 2d of June the inhabitants of Port au Prince were surprised by a sudden inundation of all the small rivers in the surrounding country, by which upwards of 500 families were submerged, and severa l o f - them drowned. The dikaster would have been greater still, but for the gene rous devotion of some citizens, who risked their own lives to save their fellow-creatures." The German Journal of Frankfort announces the suicide at Baden Baden of an extraordinary maniac, named • Rummers. It says—" For twenty years this person had been in the habit every six months of. ordering a coffin, but always differed with the maker of it ns to the fit.' He would have the coffin placed against the wall, and, getting hitt it, would complain like a dandy to his tailor that it was too large here or too small there that it was too tight over the arms, or to loose over the body. At length a coffin having boenmade to his mind, he swallowed poison, having previously summoned his friends and acquaint ances to attend him. When they were assembled ] h ill:. formed them at the point of death that he OW happy, as he had at length succeeded in obtaining tt proper garment for his appearance in the next World." The Hance Gazette contains .hG following from Hanover, of the 7th inst.:—" The Government as jUst addressed a certain nurfoer of copies of the vitelaiiiittion concerning the dissolution of the *Mtn to the ecclesias tics of the consistorial district of Hanover, accompanied by it letter dated Wth ult., which is thus conceived : The Government is convinced that the clergy will not fail in the mission imposed upon it by the obligation to recommend to the faithful the obedience end resilect which they owe to the Sovereign ) itid ti Warn them against the seductions and wok's ut the spirit of party. It has, nevertheless., theught proper to send to the eccle siastics several copies of the proclamation of July 14, in order that they may distribute them, but they are not to read the proclamation from the pulpit or in the schools: The Government hopes they will employ all the 'Albans in their pow er t o accom pli s h t hi s eb3aet. ' " The price of bread is flted at 33 centimes the kilo gramme for the remainder of this month. Our math may recollect the affair of the butcher of the Rue des Mathurins Saint 'Jacques, named Martin, who, in January last, after ill-treating his wiftc and being reproached for it by his man Sound., wa,s stipposed to have challenged the latter, and to have been shot by him in a duel near the Barrie du Maine, and for which Soulict was committed to take his trial. This trial took place on Saturday, when a person named Maginot, sup posed to have been Souliet's second, was arraigned with hum The evidence, however, was so vague and indefi ' nite, that the Advocate-General abandoned the prosecu tion, and, upon the recommendation of the - Court, the Jury acquitted both prisoners. A letter from Catania, in Sicily, quoted by the Univers of the 2d inst., represents the beat there to have been suffocating, and that from the 15th to the 20th of July the thermometer, though plaCed in the shade, and faciag the north, mounted to 34 degrees of Reaumur, 103 r Fahrenheit. The town, never very much animated, appeared to be perfectly deserted. Every inhabitant- re mained all day in his chamber with the shutters closed, and the brick or stone floors kept constantly watered ; others cooled themselveS with ices. The leaves of the vines and others trees were parched and shrivelled, and the gardens were as devoid of vegetation as in the depth of winter. The heat is represented as having been much more intense than for many years past. A few days ago the owner of a woollen manufac tory at Amsterdam, who was endeavouring to prevent a young girl from approaching the wheel of some steam machinery, was himself caught by it, and torn to pieces before he could be extricated. A Correspondent of the National at Algiers, who formed part of the last expedition under General Barn guay d'Hilliers, asserts that on one occasion the troops marched from four o'clock one morning to four the next morning, with hardly any rest, over .a very difficult moun tain district, in the midst of a burning heat ; and that the men suffered so severely that. 17 committed suicide, and 34 were taken by the Arabs and decapitated, within the twentymfour hours in question. We have seen no thing to confirm this very improbable statement in any other quarter. Baron Von Hofmann, Minister of Finance to the. Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt, .died a few days since of water On the chest. His loss is much felt in the Duchy, where he was greatly esteemed by his Sovereign and by all classes. The Empress of Russia has remitted to the Muni cipality of Charlottcnburg 20,000 crowns, being part of her Majesty's inheritance from the late King of Prussia,. for establishing an hospital for foundlings. The inventory of the property of M. Lehon the ex: notary is terminated, there is a deficiency of 8,000,000 francs. M. Lehon is fain detained in the Conciergerie, where he awaits the preliminary proceedings for his trial. A Legitimist Journal says •—" Yesterday a mass was celebrated in the church of the Petits Peres, at which a great number of Royalists attended to return thanks to Heaven for having preserved the life of the Duke of Bordeaux." The Municipal Council of Lyons voted on the 12th sum of 10,000 francs, to be employe d in defraying the expense of the reception of the Duke of Aumale.—Le Constitutionnel. _ _ We have the following letter from Algiers, of Bth August :—" The troops are still employed on the works for the defence of the place, several colonists have been to examine these works, and on their return have brought forward great projects for colonization. It seems that, in the month, of September, some establish ments will be formed on the place of the Mitidja. The Tartare brings us excellent news from the 'Western posts. The tribes are abandoning Abd• el-Kader evrat in the province where his power seemed to be the most solidly established. General Bugeaud has embarked in all haste on board the Phare, for Mostaganem. He appeared to be in high spirits, and is resolved to direct in person the defection which has manifested itself in the province of Oran. If all that we hear is true the power of Abd-el- Kader is drawing to an end, and the occupation of Mas cara will prove as fatal to the Emir as that of Constan tine was to Achmed Bey."—Le Courrier Fran.ertis.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AUG. 17.—The improved state of the weather has tended to strengthen the Share Market, and prices are stiffer :—Manchester and Leeds, 51 52 ; ditto, Halves, 20:} 21 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 21i ; London and SOuth Western; 511; London and Birmingham, 160 ; North Midland, Thirds, 9. • The only later arrival to-day is from Launceston, Van Dieman's Land, the papers from thence being up to the I6th April, but they contain no news of importance. Holders of wheat appear more anxious to sell than they have been for some past ; it realises from 6s. to 7s. per bushel, but there are only a few buyers. Sugar is 36/. per ton, and Tea 121. per chest. The English Securities have recovered from the de cline wl , ich took place yesterday.. Consols opened firm at 891 for Money, and 891 /for the Account; the Three per Cents. Reduced, 89:1 ; Three-and- a-Half per Cents., 981 99 ; Bank Stock, 1681 1691 ; Exchequer Bills, 14 16.

'rhe Launceston papers received this morning, containing accounts from Port Philip to the 9th April, state that the monetary depression, which has been for some time past felt so much, continues without ranch amendment, and consequently the Markets are in the same state. Sugar continues looking up, owing to a great scarcity of the article, and a supply is anxiously looked for. There is /Rao • or no nusinesa &inn; in the atoQI,LBA,-; -iromnyVTO - 7 per cent., but upon short loans. The Share Market has been inactive, but a slight improvement has taken place.

Nothing doing, and no alteration to notice. The Batavier steamer, clue to-day, has not yet arrived, The auspleloo and truly gratifying change in the weather has already caused a partial cessation of activity in the Corn Market, and although the arrivals from abroad continue large, the business doing is in reality lim ited. The effect, however, of the late operations in the jobbers, coupled with the weather which prevailed a week or two back, has not yet been felt in its fifil etitimt, and the Acid tiVefage Which regulates the duty must yet advance, to the injury of the domestic growers whom the sliding scale is pretended to benefit. It is probable that some of the orders for corn abroad will now be countermanded. Consols Cr Account; , &Leber, tbi Mt ►lddtl, 2b 26 ; Spanish, 19. 8. No business whatever doing. CLOSING PRICES.

Bonfires blazed on every hill in the neighbourhood the bells ofßanff and Macduff rung a merry peal dating the day ; the vessels in the harbour displayed their colours, and a huge bonfire was lighted upon the "Hill o' Doom." The lieges of Macduff had a grand dinner and a ball ht honour of the occasion ; and, in short, every demonstra tion of joy vvac manifested throughout the whole district. —Edinburgh Advertiser.• CHILDREN'S FRIEND SOCIETY.—This truly benevolent institution, we are happy to hear, is not to be entirely abandoned. We understand that some members .of the Committee are in treaty for some land in Kent (about 100 acres), upon which it is intended to employ destitute children, to train and instruct them under the same judicious regulations as were adopted at the late asylum at Hackney-wick, and to retain them on the es tablishment until the age of 16, when it is presumed they will have acquired such useful and practical know ledge as will enable them to make their own way in the world. Such an institution will be a great na tional blessing, as a means of rescuing many a child of want and neglect from th e paths of vice ; and will, we I firmly anticipate, meet with immediate and powerful sup port, not only from the p atrons and friends of t h e l ate Children's Friend Society, but, as it deserves, from the public at large. We are glad to hear that the Crown has granted ' pension of 100/. a year to the widow of Mr. James, the naval historian. The Lords of the-Admiralty . , particu larly Sir Charles Adam, strongly recommended Mre. James's memorial to the Treasury. M OF NEWS AND Vtt Optrtion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Levant mail brings advices from Constanti nople of the 27th of July, from Alexandria of the 2Gth, from Smyrna of the 30th, from Beyrout of the 16th, and from Candia of the 24th of the same month. Said Bey. and Sami Bey, the Egyptian Envoys, were publicly presented to the Sultan on the 26th. His Highness gave them a most flattering reception. Sir John British Ambassador to the Court of Teheran, and Colonel Barnell, British Consul at Alexandria, arrived at Constantinople on the 22d of July. On the 29th the Ambassador was to proceed to Trebisonde. There was a rumour at Constantinople that the Sultan entertained thoughts of bestowing the Pachalic of Syria upon Mehemet Ali ! Surely there can be no truth in this. Syria is in a most disturbed state. In all the mountainous districts the inhabitants have set the power of the Porte at defiance. French emissaries instigate them to the commission of these acts of rebellion. The riots at Bourdeaux broke out a second time on the 14th inst. The National Guards suppressed them, but with manifest reluctance. On the 15th the town was tranquil. The taking the census was not resumed in Tou louse on the 16th, in consequence of riots at Calais on the 12th. The people of Lilbourne barred their doors, and re fused to admit the officers appointed to take the census. The Spanish Government was on the 10th con centrating a strong military force in the immediate vicinity of Madrid. Espartero's manifesto had rendered the priests so unpopular that they could not appear in the streets without being insulted. If the superstitious mob of Madrid join Espartero against the Pope he is safe. France is about to abandon the military hospital at Mahon, rather than allow England to establish a si milar institution in one, of the Balearic Isles. The. Queen of Portugal has appointed the Mar quis of Saldanha Ambassador to the Court of Lisbon. PITELIC The Chronicle contains some interesting comments on a cheap penny tract that has lately been published by a working man, entitled " Oppression, or the effects of Monopoly on Expenditure," the object of which is to show, that where one shilling is taken from the widow and her orphans by the State, nine are taken by the Buck - inghamites and Peelites In another article, - speaking of the present condition of Ireland, our Contemporary remarks :—" Sir Robert Peel, as Irish Secretary, had put it utterly beyond the power of the people of Ireland to place any trust in him as a Minister. This was only two short years ago ; but now it seems to Sir Robert, if not to others, that the difficulty has vanished. Is such, in i t-nifty, the fact ? If it be so, it must be that either the man that was detested, or the people that detested him, have undergone a marvellous change. We know something of Ireland, and per haps a little more of Sir Robert, and we can fearlessly assert that in him no visible signs of a change for the better have appeared. For Ireland and for the empire he continues to this hour the same frigid, mechanical small-souled, circumlocutory politician that he has ever been." Unless Sir R. Peel change the whole spirit of his policy towards Ireland—and by so doing he will be com pelled to admit that it has been wrong throughout—he will never satisfy that country. But we doubt whether he can so change his system ; 'and if he ens, whether he will be allowed to do so. The Stanleyitcs, and those who, like Sir R. Inglis, belong to the High Church party, are united in their dislike of Ireland ; and unaided by these, he cannot stir a step. Under a Tory Cabinet, the sister-country will over continue to be a thorn in the side of England. The Herald, reverting to the question of the Corn laws, says:—" To suppose, as the Morning Chronicle as serts, that there is only one cause for our existing embar rassments, and that the Corn-laws, is perfectly childish. All that is alleged by the manufacturers against these laws is, that, under their operation, they cannot compete in a few articles of hosiery and coarse cotton goods, against foreign producers." The manufacturers regard the Corn-laws in no such partial and ridiculous light. On the contrary, they boldly and broadly declare that this grinding impost affects more or less the entire domestic trade of the country, and even reacts on its foreign com merce; that it palsies the right arm of iniustry and en taart)rizot and 3lowly but , prosperity. 4 The Post, notwithstanding the direct announcement that Dr. Lococit has interposed his veto against her Ma jesty opening Parliament in person, observes -- " The truth is, and all the Queen's subjects will re joice to hear it, that her Majesty is in such excellent health at present that she would not have had any thing to apprehend' from the anxiety or fatigue inci dent to opening the Session of Parliament in person ; but the good taste and Constitutional feelings of the Sovereign revolted from the task which her worthless Ministers would have imposed upon her Majesty, of sanc tioning the questionable principles which they have de terniirted to propound in the Queen's Speech, by permit ting that speech to pass through the lioyal lips." This is indirectly asserting that her Majesty's medical adriser —who may be presumed to know more about her state of health than the Post—has officiously and impertinently ititetpdsed Leto, where there was not the slightest oc casion for it ! The Advertiser states, with reference to the present position of. Sir R. Pecl—" The clamorous applications by whi©h he is hourly beset from all quarters for situation iii itiic~ Under hie embryo government, would o themselves be sufficient to Akiffy the Btrcnigeet and most philosophic mind. We verily believe that from this cause alone the Right Honourable Gentle man's existence is embittered beyond endurance." Tories 'We ell Itnow, are ravenous from long absti nence from office, and ife lihtly ttand on ceremony with orie . so completely at their mercy as Sir Peel: tHr Francis Burdett was with him the other day—no doubt worrying him to death for a Peerage; and when he was got rid of, down wont Oroker—a perfect cormorant, and the i;ePY rad et tthl dtlsefs to take "No" for a denial. Then there are the Goulburns, the DaiVgotis, the &L a t c h bulls, 81-,c., to be provided for; and with these, and adozefi More such, tugging constantly at his skirts, Sir R. Peel's esistenee—‘as our Contemporary observes—must be em bittefed be#end endurdrice:: The limes is quite facetious at tlio gm that thit To• rics intended to govern Ireland on the iron principle Of conquest. If they do not do so, it is.simply because they lack the power, not because they are deficient in (he in- The fl üblin Pilot tiiiis addfegett,o itv?it to the ex. pectant Premier Who can believe anything yoii swear, or predict ?

The Paisley operatives, unemployed and in dis tress, held a meeting at the Philosophical Hall, Paisley, on the 10th of August, when they passed a series of resolutions proposing that an appeal he made to the Queen and Government, and in which they state their intention of emigrating to Port Philip or Sydney, sup plicating at the same time her Majesty to forward their aim by supplying them with clothes, as a local appeal on the subject would he vain. They compute that at 41. a head, and counting 250 as the complement of one ship, 1,0001. would be required. AGRICULTURAL. The Galway, Derry, and Tuani papers state that rain has fallen, for the last week, at least, in torrents. Great alarm prevails among the farmers. —We understand, from the British Mirror, that the crops of potatoes were never known to be more abundant than they are at present. On Monday and Tuesday two large fields of wheat were reaped at Brentford. "In Dublin," says the Pilot, " the weather has been most unpropitious of late, every day wearing at its outset a bright promising brow, but the noon and evening bring ing, for the . most part, rain and storm." L.ilVtr AND POLICE. The Liverpool Assizes commenced on Monday. The calendar is very heavy, the number of prisoner.; amounting to 98, of whom not fewer than seven arc charged with murder, thirteen with manslaughter, and seven with cutting and maiming. What a frightful con trast to the late calendars for the Assizes 'in a country where the Tory prints say there is no security for life or property. A t the Croydon Assizes on Tuesday the long pending suit of Punter v. Grantley was decided, when the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 275/. damages. Mr. Vinning, an insolvent, father of the Infant &mho, underw:r t a long examir cion on Tuesday, in the Insolvent Debtor's Court. The ground of the opposition was the disposal of a diamond pin which had been pre sented to his daughter by her Majesty, as well as a defective balance sheet, and the bail was enlarged until the 4th of October, in order that it might be amended. Two cab drivers were fined 10s. each, at Union Mill on Tuesday, at the instance of the Directors of the Brighton llailread, for refusing to produce their badges. Several passengers had been overcharged for the hire of cabs to the London terminus, and the Directors, wish ing to check the practice, had given directions that the numbers of all cabs bringing passengers should be taken down. The parties in question refused. The Act of Parliament for making non-parochial registers evidence in Courts of Justice, came into opera tion on the 10th instant. Parties may obtain a certified copy of any extract, with the seal of office, by applying to the Registrar-General's-office, Somerset-house. SPOSZTXTZG. The London and Westminster Iron Steam-boat Company having given a purse of sovereigns to be rowed for, eight watermen were selected. Tuesday Maynard and Campbell, both of Lambeth, won the first heat, and Kell) , of Putney, and Connoway, of norsloydown, the second. The grand heat took place at seven, when Campbell, of Lambeth, sprang in first. C OTTIZT-3711.5 RIO /TABLE. Mr. O'Connell and his family visited the new and beautiful ship Belleisle on Saturday, and tales inspec tion of the different departments, partook of a splendid drjeune in the cabin. It was understood that the Lord Lieutenant and Countess Fortescue would visit the vessel on Sunday. The birthday of the Earl of Yarborough was cele brated by the Noble Earl's principal tenantry on his estates in Lincolnshire and at Appuldercombe on Tuesday week with the accustomed hospitality. The Noble Earl entered his Gist year on that day. Great rejoicings took place on Tuesday last at Windsor, in celebration of her Majesty's accession, and the Duchess of Kent'S birth-day. The Marquis of Lansdowne arrived in town on Tues day afternoon. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset left Park-lane on Saturday for Wimbledon. Viscount Lowther arrived in Carlton-gardens on Monday from the Continent. Lord Stanley left Buxton on Friday fur Manchester. Lord Morpeth has arrived in town ; from Dublin. MISCELLANEOUS. Colonel Clitherow, Chairman of the Brentford - Petty Sessions, has resigned, in consequence of the state of his health; and on Tuesday his brother Magistrates presented their sincere thanks to the Colonel for the ability and zeal with which he had long filled the office. Last week a young gentleman of the name of Clarke, while standing on the brink of a rock at Grene de Lee, Jersey, in company with two friends, was swept off by a wave which dashed in from the sea, when he sank to rise no more. Sir Francis Burdett is announced to take the chair at the Tory dinner to be given next Friday to Captain Botts at Drury-lane Theatre. This silly old renegade has only to turn Chartist, and then he will have boxed the political compass. • The following ridiculous mistake occurs in a Morn ing Contemporary :—" A surgeon was caught last week in the Severn, weighing seventy pounds." This surgeon ust have been an odd fish, and as much out of his ele , ment as the Tamworth quack-doctor is likely to be on the Treasury Bench. • -- The Post, in a letter addressed to Sir R.

When asked what had induced her to do so, she said that she " wished to go to heaven !" The Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel has been appointed one of the Chaplains in Ordinary to her Majesty. On Friday last, while on his way to the Derbyshire moors, Sir Robert Peel was so overcome by sleep, that instead of getting out of the railway carriage at the Amber-gate Station, he was hurried on to Chesterfield. We have no doubt that this heavy slumber was induced by the Right Hon. Baronet's perusing one of the Church articles in the Times. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—IIer Majesty and Prince Albert left the Castle for Bagshot Park to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at three o'clock this afternoon, in a carriage and four with outriders in scarlet liveries.

DEATH OF Ggamii CRiditrom, ESQ.—It is our painful duty to record the aiideleti death of Mr. Crichton, Manager at Leith, for the Londe..n, Adinburgh, And thasgow Shipping Company. Mr. Crichton had been afflicted With an attack of paralysis some years agef from the effects of which, however, he had, to appear ance at least, almost wholly recovered. He was twice at church last Sunday, and went to bed in his usual ileitith, but during the night he complained of difileglt breathing, and expired in the course of a few minutes.

The following were chosen : FIRST HEAT. James Maynard Lambeth Yellow. George Campbell ....Lawbeth Blue. H. Shelton Lambeth Black. J. Phelps Fulham Green. SECOND HEAT. J. Kelly Putney Pink. H. Godfrey Old Swan White. J. Connaway Horslydown Stripe. E. Perry Lambeth Reel. . To enter into into any lengthened detail of the Iner., ts of these men would be a work of supererogation ; a ' e 'l words only will suffice. Phelps, Kelly, Shelton, and Campbell are old favourites. They have all beer, are still, first-rate and celebrated men ; Connavra;l ar l Maynard have more recently come into public not, iee The former of these was third in the Coat and .3aug wager last season, and since that period has rowed L . olu d very hard single matches, but was never engage d wit b a heat of picked seullers until the contest a fortn i g ht ac Y 0 for a cup given by the proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens, Perry and Godfrey made their debut on Tuestlay. Tiler were unknown until then. This might fairly have been termed three distinct races, and three finer were never seen upon the Thames. All the trying contests hitheytho (save every Doggett's Coat and Badge) have been wit tide, but this was against it; and as such afforded the public, who were much interested, an opportnnity offt viewing the match from the shores, and from Londe. Bridge to Chelsea. Those who felt a desire had a n ample opportunity ofgratifyingit. The first heat was from Lond o e Bridge to Lambeth Palace; the second, from there to th , r Swan at Chelsea ; and the third, the latter distance. A t a quarter-past four the first heat was started. iNiTaynara had the.best place. and the others followed in the order in which they stand on the list. Maynard took t he lead, and kept it, followed by Campbell. Shelton was third, but only held it a few seconds, when Phelps, who v 'as the favourite at starting against the field, took - if. Maynard had to work hard to keep the leading place,, and when within a mile of the winning place, PhelPsv who had been husbanding his strength, made a grand. effort fur the second place, and there is but little doubt• would have succeeded but that accident prevented bile- He IMO on Campbell's quarter, when in passing throng 4 'Westminster Bridge his starboard scull fouled soino timber, and he was held by it in consequence of the' blade going under for half a minute. Maynard won the heat. 7Campbell was second. The next heat e at started immediately afterwards , and in this the i v _ _t-,. man" of the day was concerned.

On k)tuiday night, about passing eight o'clo,:k1 hu ndreds were seen up the river at the Ferry, at r:: 2rouston, and other shallow parts, and on Monday morultig great numbers v -ere observed making their way from .Maxwheel through the different arches of Kelso -bridge ; and above the bridge, where the river is very shallow at present, they were seen in immense shoals ploughinn- t h e ir way up the water. Altogether it was a novel and' interest ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. Th. , neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Sel• and grilses from sd. to sd. per lb,-.4Vewcastle journal. THE TRF REC In 7 to direc oppress one of Justice the C( do jus
