TO CORRESPONDENTS. Mr. Barton's Lecture esC;ied our notice, or we should have given a brief account of it. We have not seen any mention of it in any other Journal. The work he has _ _ in hand is good, and he should not be easily discouraged. We must decline inserting any letters commiserating the lath of the murderer Blakesley. The sooner the horrible crime is forgotten the better.' and dispositions of such an offender, gathered from an intimate acquaintance with him from the hour of his birth, what the strictest and wisest use of parental authority, which can withhold food, and is naturally armed with an almost irresistible power, cannot effect for an individual child, political schemers expect to accomplish in the mass by some rude kind of general system, which is necessarily not equally applicable to the cases of different individuals. The habitually depraved, the hereditary weak, the hereditary criminal, the victims of an inci pient madness, the wild youth hurried away by a gust of a first-felt passion, which knowledge may hereafter lead him to control; the easy lad, whose disposition takes any impression, and who is led into crime by the chance company he has fallen into ; he, whose education has been wholly neglected, and he who has been nurtured and taught with the tenderest care, and has never witnessed in his parent's abode one alloy ing example, but who has within him evil pro pensities which no skill hitherto possessed can eradicate ; allthese, and a countless number more, whom great diversities of disposition and of cir cumstances, have made trespassers on the laws, are to be cured and reformed by one general and indiscriminate system of punishment and of discipline. We doubt whether that which family discipline cannot accomplish when the plant is in the greenest state, will ever be accomplished by any system of penal or convict discipline when age, when the sun of prosperity, and the storms of adversity, have hardened the green sapling into the tough tree. The devisers of numerous schemes of convict and other discipline are of a totally different - -opinion, and we are not ac quainted with any subject on which the human nind has for many years been more active, and .as laboured more signally in vain. On this account, we rejoiced to see in the Times the passage we have quoted, and we hope that it will henceforth be clearly understood, and always remembered, that the onus of proving the great advantages of any system of punishment—of showing the great public pleasure which results from the infliction of individual pain, lies on those who propose it, or carry it into execution, not on those who object to it. For them the simple fact that punishment is a pain, is suffi cient to justify the objection; to prove that it is outweighed by advantages, that public necessity commands it, is the duty of those who advocate or inflict the penalty. We were much astonished, however, to find the Times, after adopting this rational principle, putting forth a totally different principle to jus tify the punishment of death. " If we would have," it said, " no handsome and interesting murderesses," &c., " we must continue to main tain and act upon the law, that whoso shed deth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.'" Now, without entering into the very large subject of the utility of capital punish ments—merely remarking, however, that as long as they are continued, it will be difficult to find many criminals more worthy to suffer death than • BLAKESLEV,—We beg leave to notice a discre pancy in the arguments of the Times. If we " must maintain " that law, which it quotes,— if that means, as those who quote it imply, that the State is bound, by the overwhelming autho rity of the Bible, to put every murderer to death,—that the " State must act," regardless of the consequences, on this brief and emphatic command,—why does the Times supply us with another and a totally differen t rule for our conduct, and tell us that we are not to inflict the smallest pain on individuals, much less put them to death and expose them to all the horrors of a coming execution, which fill the time between the sentence and the death, unless that infliction be justified by public necessity ? If we must obey the Biblical law, to inquire into its effects on the public is wholly superflu ous, and may, perchance, result in questioning the authority of the Bible. If we must not in flict pain without its being proved that it pro duces public advantages, why refer us to a posi tive law, which shuts out all such consideration ? One or other of the principles referred to by the Times ought alone to be adopted, otherwise, as the one overrides the other, reason or revelation will be brought into contempt. We admit that we hold with the proposition which the Times lays down from reason. The law it quotes from the Bible was given when society was in so very different a condition from the present; it is so extremely general, rather justifying the Arab habit of taking life for life, by private revenge, than applying to the solemn acts of a State and to modern legislation; it in cludes shedding blood by accident, or in chance medley, as well as shedding blood by design— which our people never regard as proper to be punished with death ; and it is so differently explained by different commentators, that as a rule for legislation we decidedly prefer the principle the Times lays down from reason to that it quotes from the Bible. Indeed, we see with great and unmingled regret an attempt at this period, in a popular Journal, to found our criminal jurisprudence on the cruel laws of a people which were expressly adapted, not to abstract right but to their hardened hearts; and we read with pity and disgust the hideous per version in that Journal by which all the beauti ful philanthropy of the age is ascribed to infi delity. The friends of the Bible can be little pleased with the Times for justifying cruel pu nishments by its authority, and for ascribing to in fidelity, as the foster-nurse, that desire for the mi tigation of sanguinary laws which has so honour ably distinguished the most religious men of mo dern times. We are now pompously told by the advocates of monopoly and starvation, that the " seasons defy human control, and mock human pru dence;" but if our memory does not cruelly de ceive us, the same gentlemen have defended the Corn-law because it equalized the effects of the seasons, which Sir ROBERT PEEL, OR one oc casion, said it had effectually done. That the seasons defy human control we admit, but they no more mock human prudence than do storms, against the effects of which men provide, though the storms themselves are entirely beyond the control of man. seasons alternate so regularly, that Both are known phenomena; and badd good they a a n resub . jeet-to calculation. Though human prudence can not control the seasons, therefore, it can provide against their evil effects. It could, for example, without any difficulty, but simply by doing what justice and honesty require, open our ports at all times to the free importation of food ; and it would, by that means, ensure our people a much greater supply than at present. If the people could command plenty of food, and there is no reason whatever why they cannot, but for the law, they would consume a great deal more; the standard of comfort would be raised throughout the country, and when bad seasons came, as come they will, the well-fed p eop l e would have a con siderable superfluity to fall back upon, and a barren year would not be tantamount to a Feu fence of death by starvation. Th e n the class next above the very lowest have an d most likely to re lieve them, would some thing to give their sufferin g nei g hbours, and the extremely- w retc lied would not be thrust out a s now into the stre ets to dis p la y the worst features of Italian b e gg ar y . Under the present Corn-law aided by the Poor-law, which is expressly intended to beat down the standard of comfort, and so de grade the labourer, the bulk of the working classes, both in the agricultural and manufac turing districts, are reduced on ordinary occasions to the lowest stage of existence, and a bad season is a sentence of death to ,-- -- of the suffering poor. 'the seasons do indeed mock the prudence, or rather avarice, of our Corn-law makers, and fix upon it the stern and indelible brand of GOD'S reprobation. He has given to man the power of. equalizing the_ effects of the seasons, so that no evil result from their changes ; but the landlords I have placed their veto on the exercise of the: Y ° 4 . 4 t- (llJ / AI 4 • . 4 ; ,-•rwilit.&',-V-t•"`,4°,sN - • 4 0 ‘,3 iti ..„ * t ' Mt LONDON: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 184 h Though the saying is .s tr'tcc that public ne cessity can al one j ust i fy thel infliction even of the smallest degree of pain on any individual" by criminal laws, it rejoice to see overlooked in eji practice that we see it asse r t e d i n the to Times, and are happy reheat it.

Madame Lebaron, a lace-manufacturer at Caen, but who has a depot in Paris, in the Rue Thevenot, was robbed two days ago of lace to the value of 11,000 f. by a man whom she had taken into her service imprudently to carry her pattern-boxes when she went round to - her customers. It appears that her servant being ill, she hired a man who sold matches about the streets to fill his place, and this man for some days served her faith fully, but suddenly disappeared, and another match vendor offered his services, stating that the former had been arrested for some irregularity. Madame Lebaron engaged him, but on the very first day he absconded with the stuck which he was carrying, whilst his mis tress was in a shop in the Rue Saint Denis. The police We are glad to see, from our report of what occurred yesterday in the Bail Court, that Mr. TRAVIS, the farmer who was committed to pri son by some country gentlemen for felony, be cause he resisted a Mr. ENTWISTLE in trespass ing on his grounds to hunt, and stuck his pitch fork into Mr. ENTWISTLE'S horse in the scuffle, has obtained a certiorari to move the cause into the Court of Queen's Bench, and a rule, calling on the other parties to show cause why he should not be admitted to bail. Mr. Justice PATTESON immediately assented to the motion, and we shall now have all the particulars of this case made public. We will not say a single word about it till it has been investigated in a Court of Law, further than to remark that the case is an illustration of the manners of those who deem themselves born to ride over the people in the pursuit of their game. have arrested the two match-venders, and also a man and woman who are suspected of being their accomplices but none of the property has been recovered. About a month ago, two thieves, named Wolff and Dupleix, who were being conveyed to prison in a cellu lar van, made their escape, the door having by error been left unlocked, and every attempt by the police to discover their retreat was vain. A few days ago, how ever, a notorious thief, having been taken, told the com missary of police before whom he was conveyed that it he would regale him with a good dinner he would put him in the way of making a famous capture. The commissary, although he did not place much confi dence in his word, treated him with the dinner, and immediately afterward the thief took some gendarmes to a house in the Rue Rochechourt, where seven men and two women were found, whilst dividing the spoil resulting from several thefts which they had recently committed. Amongst them were Wolff and Dupleix, but Wolf contrived again to make his escape, and was recaptured on Friday last. The National, in an article on the Hospice of Salpe triere (for aged and lunatic females), says :—" The in curable lunatics have lately had given to them for their physician M. Trelat, a man mild and persevering, who, taking his unhappy patients in commiseration, and wish ing-to afford them all the diversion of which they are capable, conceived the idea of snaking them sing. This having succeded, he is now teaching them to read. This is done by two persons, who have undertaken this diffi cult, and in many instances painful, task gratuitously. The poor patients have become much attached to their teachers, and arc pleased with their lessons. They hasten to their classes as soon as their friends appear ; and those who have not yet been admitted, have no other de sire than to be so. Some already begin to read fluently, and some ore able to make out the music given them to learn. The music is taught them by a colleague of M. Wilhelm, and the reading by M. Teste, a brother of the Minister. They are also taught to work with the needle. Their work is excellent, and done much quicker than by ordinary hands, but purchasers are wanting." The Sentinelle des Pyrennees of the 9th instant says : "On Tuesday last a Spanish boat, having on board a person who is supposed to be an emigrant general, was on its way from the coast of Biscay to Socoa, and had arrived off Saint Sebastian, when it was perceived by a trincadour, which pursued it to within a distance of the coast over which French jurisdiction extends. Arrived there, a combat it is said took place. A small French vessel, kept on the coast for the mail service, fired upon the trineadour of Saint Sebastian, and compelled it to abandon its prey, and to respect French limits." The same journal adds—" A battalion of the 38th Regiment of the Line left yesterday fur the extreme frontier of Spain. The staff goes to Saint Jean de Luz, and several companies will be cantoned at Hendaye, Behobie, and other places. Night and day merchandise is being packed at Bayonne to send to Spain, previous to the ear , rying into execution the customs law, er rather the tariff established by the Government of Espartero." A person going two evenings ego into the Theatre de Ix Gaite, exhibited while prying for his place a well furnished purse. This attracted the notice of a pro ' fessed pickpocket, named Dellechamps, who contrived to obtain a seat in the pit next to the owner of the treasure. While the attention of his intended victim was deeply engrossed by a scene on the stage, our adventurer thought he could secure his coveted prize. Unfortunately for himself, from the denseness of the audience, Delle champs made a slight mistake, and putting hiS hand into the pocket of a Municipal Guard who was next to the purse-holder, grasped instead of the purse a pair of scissors, the points of which reproved him so severely, that forgetting his customary caution, he uttered an ex clamation. This attracted the notice of the soldier, who at once seized the unlucky . Dellechamps by the collar, and conducted him to a neighbouring guard-house. The Conslitutionnel states that a letter has been re ceived from St. Laurent de Cerdans, announcing that the soldiers of the Spanish post of la Mouga had pur sued two of their fellow-countrymen, and fired upon them on the French territory. The Spanish soldiers did not return to their post until a company of the 25th French Light Infantry came up. The price of bread for the remainder of the month is fixed at 35c. the kilogramme. The Aini de la Religion states that Father Jean Bap tiste de Frascati, the Carmelite monk, who built the convent on Mount Carmel, in Palestine, has returned from that place to France, and is now in Paris collectieg subscriptions for making some additional walls of defence for that establishment. The Siccle states that the Bishop of Beauvais, who had been seriously ill for some days, died the day before yesterday, aged 73. Extract of a letter from Algiers of the 3d inst., given by the Toulonnais :—" During the last three days the six months' drought has been followed by such a de luge of rain, that the lower town, et. modern Algiers, has been converted into a lake. The streets, become rivers, are no longer passable, and the arcades are a benefit which all experience ; for otherwise the liquid mud, thrown in all directions by the carts and cattle passing along, would cover all the pedestrians. The works at the gates are stopped, and all passage through them would be impracticable, were not men kept constantly employed in removing the encumbrances brought dawn by the torrents. Several of the terraces have been crushed by the weight of the water. The hospital of the Saltpetriere has narrowly escaped being inundated with all its patients. A conduit, which carries into the sea the waters from the Dey and the mountain being in sufficient to disgorge a quantity so great, the current, di verged from its course, broke into the wards by the doors and windows, and had risen in them to the height of three feet invading the beds, before it was possible to make a passage out for it. Last week a well-dressed man accosted the portress of a house in the Rue du 29 Juillet, and, in the broken ac cent of an Englishman speaking French imperfectly, In quired his way to the Hotel de la Madeleine: Whilst he was speaking, another person came up and asked the Fortress what the gentleman wanted. The portress told him, and the pretended Englishman offered this man a Napoleon if he would show him the way. At first he refused, but at length consented, generously offer ing, however, to give the portress half the . gratuity ] if she would accompany thetn to receive it. Tempted by the prospect of earning ten francs so easily, toe portress consented, and they set off together. On arriving at the Rue Tronchet., the pretended Englishman expressed a wish to enter a house of doubtful reputation, which was pointed out to him by his male guide, who observed that he would do well to confide the bulk of the money which he had about his person to the portress, who would wait at the door. The advice being followed, a purse was put into a handkerchief and placed in the hands of the portress, but, as a guarantee for the safety of the deposit, she was asked to plate her watch in the hands of the man who was to share with her the promised Napoleon. The portress, judging by the weight of the purse that there was gold enough to purchase half a dozen such watches as hers, which, however, was of gold, with a gold chain, did as was requested, and took up her station at the door. After waiting nearly an hour, she became uneasy, and opening the purse, found that it contained only bits of lead. The thieves had, in the meantime, made their escape by 'another door. In formation having been given to the police, the men were soon afterwards apprehended, and recognised as two no torious thieves. They hare just been tried; and sen tenced, one to seven years' imprisonment, and the other to five. it appears by letters which we have received from the Spanish frontiers, that the litgeht is received in Navarre with the same enthusiasm es during his passage in the Guipuscott.

From Madrid our letters and papers arc o the Bth inst. Four officers of the Princessa Re. giment were condemned to death on the ith, and it was expected that two of them would be shot on the 9th. The other two would be par- doned. A letter from Pampeluna of the 10th in• stant states that General RODIL had or• dered all the fortresses in the Basque pro vinces to be demolished, as a protection for the people, who are apprehensive of a French invasion; a strong military force is to be stationed in the different provinces. In Navarre an army of twenty battalions of 1,000 men each, 1,000 horses, and four batteries of artillery, is to oc cupy without delay the extent of territory which lies brtween Vera, on the borders of Guipuscoa, and Arragon, along the French fron tier ; and from Pampeluna and Estella to Tu dela, on the Ebro. Eighteen battalions, with a corresponding force of artillery and cavalry, will retain possession of the Basque provinces. The two branches of this force are to be called the right and left wings of the'Army of the North, the whole of which will be under the command of RODIL, whilst the divisions are to be under the immediate orders of AYERBE for Navarre, and ALCALA, promoted to the rank of Lieutenant- General, for the Basque provinces. All the of ficers of the insurgent battalions have likewise been dismissed. The following affecting incident is from a letter from Pampeluna, dated the 10th inst.:-• A melancholy scene took place here on Saturday even ing last, the day before the Regent left Pampeluna for Saragossa. This was the interview between Espartero and the mother of the unfortunate Fulgosio, who had been condemned to death by the Military Commission of Madrid. The unhappy lady, who is considerably ad vanced in years, set out for Pampeluna the moment when it became evident that there was no chance of safety for her son, and travelled by post, night and day, until she arrived here. The moment she alighted from her carriage she proceeded to the apartment of the Regent, who, though somewhat indisposed, was then engaged with some of the members of the munici pality of Pampeluna. Here she was attempted to be stopped by the Aide-de-Camp in waiting, who informed her that the Duke was then busy, and that she should be adruitbat when her turn came. Knowing that every moment was of value, the distracted woman threw him aside and rushed shrieking into the room ; she could only fling herself at the feet of Espartero, and cry Mi Hijo Mi Hijo I" He tried to induce her to retire, but she clung to him with all the tenacity of despair, and held him grasped in her arms with a strength far beyond her strength or years. He in formed her that it was out of his power to prevent the law from taking effect, and endeavoured again to disengage himself from her grasp. When she heard no words of hope or comfort her force gave way, and losing all sensation she fell motionless to the ground, and was conveyed out of the apartment by the attendants. There were young and thoughtless Aides-dc-Camp loitering about ; there were aged men, and men of business, who had passed through a long life of reverses, and in whose hearts there did not linger much softness ; there were rough soldiers long accustomed to scenes of horror ; but amongst them all there was not, I am sure, one from whose eyes the tears did not come, though they scarcely knew it, freely like those of an infant. When the news of the acquittal of M'LEOD arrrived in Madrid on the Bth inst., an eye-wit ness writes that it elicited the following general remark :—" We shall hear no more of troubles on the frontier, or intrigues on the coast. Eng land's hands are free to help us, and France will let us alone !" The interior of Spain presents some danger to travellers. Two chainfuls of presidarios (con victed felons) have lately escaped, and are now exercising their old vocation of robbers. The diligence was stopped last Tuesday night on the Samosierra road, and all the passengers plundered and stripped even to their shirts. Amongst them were four English ladies, who were also left _ _ nearly naked on the road, but the eighteen pre sidarios who were plundering the party became alarmed and took to flight, happily without at tempting personal violence. On the Madrid Bourse on the Bth the Three per Cents. were done at 20 for cash, and 30+ for the 15th and 20th inst. One transaction took place in the Four per Cents. at 26 11-16, at sixty days, and 37 in the Five per Cents. at 264 for cash, and at 27i + 28+ 4 and 29, at dif ferent dates. The debt bearing no interest sold for 6at sixty days. The French Ministerial Journals of Monday announce that two armies are to be concentrated on the Spanish frontier; the one consisting of 23,000 men, to have their head-quarters at Per pignan, and the other, of 26,000 men, at Bayonne. These armies are to compose a sort of cordon sanitaire, to shut out the contagion of Spanish ideas, and, if possible, to get into some squabble with the Basque authorities, so as to justify an invasion of Spain, for the purpose of upsetting the Spanish Constitution, and disposing of the hand of the young QUEEN. LOUIS PHILIPPE adheres to his first policy, notwithstanding the recent triumph of ESPAR•.I TERO and the utter discomfiture of the partisans of Madame MuNoz. But as all is not sunshine in France, a force of 12,000 troops of the line has been ordered to Toulouse to keep down the discontented in that quarter. The Presse, Government Journal, r.tinnits the intention of an interference of the Continental Powers in the affairs of Spain, without the concurrence of Eng land. This Journal says : " France has seen the Whigs destroy the policy and the ministry of those persons supported by her on the other side of the Pyrenees. At present no one thinks of reviving the chimera of the Quadruple Alliance, and for that reason it will be perfectly easy for France to effect an arrangement with the other, European nations respecting Spanish affairs. In this question interest is conformable to theirs. The same motives which separate us from Great Britain will ever prevent the Cabinets of the Continent from joining her. In a word, we are convinced that the Spanish question offers us au excellent ground for taking full satisfaction for the state of isolation in which the British policy placed us in July, 1840." We can tell the Presse that Englana will not permit the Powers that were the last to recog nize the Government of Spain either to modify her institutions, or to dispose of the hand of her SOVEREIGN. Spain has a Government of her own choice, which, during its brief career, has manifested a degree of wisdom, modera tion, and firmness, which France failed to purchase by the Revolution of July.

The Kria . _ asgvca had better restrict his solicitude to the Government of France, iie has there enough to reform —more than enough, if such be his mood, to Weep over. The Aurbur9l . l. Gazette contains an explanation of the late disturbance in Livonia. It appears that promises of grants of land in Russia were actually made to the pea sants of the German portion of Livonia by the Bishop .of R i ga , on condition of their entering the Greek church, but that, as he had not been-properly authorised to make these' promises, the grants never took - place. 'A -great --- r: ~ THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1841. Si;hIIVIARY OF NEWS D Vubltr Ovation. " Who runs may read." rortzsaN. There is but little political news in the French papers. The France asserts the truth of the following curious statement :—" M. Olozaga having demanded from M. Guizot the expulsion from France of Maria Christina, the Minister asked if he made the demand in the name of Queen Isabella. The Spanish Ambassador replied in the affimative, and M. Guizot then observed, that in order for such a demand to be regular, it was necessary for him to produce a note as the Minister Plenipotentiary of Isabella. M. de Olozaga, who is usually so accute, fell into the snare, and sent the note in the sense required, and it was communicated to some members of the diplomatic body. The Neapolitan Ambassador protested against such a demand, observing that hospitality could not with de cency be refused to a female who was daughter of a King, widow of a King, sister of a King, and mother of a Queen, and that her expulsion from France would be a monstrous and even an immoral act. The Austrian Charge d'Affaires was of the same opinion. The other Ambassadors of the Sovereigns who have pot recognised Isabella, said they could not offer an opinion NCI' thout re ceiving instructions from their Courts on the subjes;;• As the hosts of the Tuileries are politically very mora:, Maria Christina of Bourbon will, if it suits her, be her own mistress to pass the winter at her villa of the Rue de Courcelles."—So because Mad. Munoz happens to be the daughter, widow, and mother of a sovereign, she is to ob tain an immunity for crimes for which her accomplices have already forfeited their lives ! Kings' widows, like kings themselves, can do no wrong. M. Guizot has certainly precedent on his side, for when in the reign of Louis XIV., the ex-Queen of Sweden, Christina, murdered her chamberlain, the Court of France held her excused be cause she had been a crowned head ! Such is the mora lity of Governments, especially that of France. Need we wonder to hear of the existence of communist revolu tionary fraternities after this ? The Presse contends that France has no ambitious de signs upon Spain. Why, then, assemble an army of 25,000 men at Perpignan, and 25,000 men at Bayonne ? Does Spain threaten to invade France ? Or with the proceedings now going forward in the Chamber of Peers, will the French Cabinet have the assurance to affirm that the Government of Espartero in Spain is not more popular than that of Louis Philippe in France? Louis Philippe may withdraw his armies from the frontier, for he can neither overthrow the Constitution, nor dispose of the hand of Queen Isabella. Spain will not permit it, and were she wanting in the elements of successful resistance, England would be bound to assist her. Louis Philippe need not flatter himself that he will be permitted to play over again the game of that old fungus of corruption Louis XVIII. The Moniteur announces the arrival at Brest on the 12th inst. of the squadron under the orders of Rear- Admiral easy, consisting of the ships of the line, Le Suffren, Le Jupiter, Le Scipion, Le Triton, and Le Jena, from Toulon. M. Guizot is now in his 55th year, having been born at Nismes on the 4th of October, 1787. " The baton of Marshal of France," observes the Na tional, "is no longer borne except by septuagenarians and octogenarians. Marshal Moncey is in his 89th year; Marshal Soult is in his 73d; the Duke de la Tarente in his 75th ; the Duke de Reggio in his 75th; Count Mo litor in his 71st; Marshal Clausel in his 70th; Marshal Grouchy in his 76th; Marshal Sebastiani in his 70th. The two youngest are Marshal Gerard and Marshal Valee, who, however, are both in their 69th years. The joint age of all the Marshals is 737 years—the average age 73 7-10." The Pope has announced that a perfect reconciliation has taken place between the Courts of Rome and Portugal. Mr. Lyell, the eminent English geologist, is lecturing before crowded audiences in Boston, in an establishment called the " Lowell Institute," founded by a wealthy man of that name, who bequeathed to it 200,000 dol lars, the interest of which is to be devoted to the disse mination of useful knowledge among the people, free of charge. The trustees have adopted the plan of engaging the services of eminent lecturers, to deliver courses be fore the people, on their respective branches. Hence Professor Lyell was engaged to come over, and receives 100 dollars for each lecture he delivers. Puniac oPnwriorr. . The Morning Post observes, in a leading article on the subject of the education of the Roman Catholic clergy : —" The present Government is fortunately in a position of strength, based upon the solid foundation of public confidence, which warrants and commands it to confront the difficulties which surround the subject of the educa tion and social state of the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland, the most difficult and intractable subject with which any body of patriotic statesmen has ever been summoned to contend—a position of strength which not only warrants and commands them to confront these difficulties, but affords them a reasonable ground of hope that they may, by subduing them, achieve the great est and most valuable triumph that patriotic statesmen ever won since the progress of human civilization first began to combine the ideas of government with those of philanthropy in its highest sphere of influence—of phi losophy in its noblest field of investigation ; of energy, and moral courage on the loftiest stage for their display." —These allusions to the strength of the Ministers, founded on the public confidence in their integrity and patriotism, are so absurd as to wear the appearance of irony. There may . be partial, but there can be no lasting public, confidence in a Government of which such a shameless apostate as Sir James Graham forms one of the most influential members; which is compelled to pay deference to the opinions of such a determined monopo list as the Duke of Buckingham; which is alternately wheedled and bullied by a Stanley; and which acknow ledges as its head a statesman so wholly devoid of vigour, decision, promptitude, and enlarged sagacity, as Sir Ro bert Peel 1 The Chronicle contains an article on the subject of Sir Robert Peel's industrious habits of business, in the course of which, after observing that a man may be busy to very little purpose, our Contemporary goes on to say: —" If he has a laudable ambition of writing his name in the book of posterity, he will take care of his pre slant opportunity. Now or never will he rise into a statesnian. Novr or never must he comprehend his position, if he wish to retain it. N ow or never will he disprove the current opinion that, clever as he is, he is lint a superficial politician, a mere master of expediencies.

Sir Robert reel tian only rise into a statesman by wholly changing his habits of thostightby altering, in fact, the entire structure of his mind,whlch is searcelyto be expected from a man considerably advanced on the shady side of fifty. He may still continue, by means of his well known tart and plausibility, to keep himself afloat as a party politician; but ho will never exhibit to advantage as a legislator of an enlarged and philosophical turn of mind. He has been brought up in a bad school. His intellect cannot take in a whole. It has a limited and partial range; and takes microscopic views of things. The purblind party that made him, will unmake him ere long; They have got him so fast in their clutches, that he must, peilufee, sink or swim with them; and it needs no great foresight to predict that, however it may triumph for it season, Toryism—in its present form — must eventually slid*, and be heard of no more. The Times remarks on stfte teeent Tory public dinners in Shropshire and elsewhere--" keiv things have Cofittibuted more to consolidate and strengthen the Conservative party than those loyal constitutional festivals, which, in later years, have become so frequent in every part of the kingdom: By means of such as semblages, in which comivialgiatification has ever been subsidiary to a much higher object, the erttinder ele ments of political society have been brought into Ward and systematic co-operation ; gentlemen whose talents and activity qualify them for rendering essential ser vice to the good.cause, have been drawn from a leisurely retirement ihtb a itell-defined field of exertion ; an en lightened zeal fur the preservation and improvement of public institutions has been more widely diffused ; Conservative registration societies have sprung into vigorous existence ; the insolence of democratic aggres sion has been extensively checked ; and the current topics usually discussed on such occasions have given a beneficial impulse to the national mind in canvassing and modifying the general policy of the country."— God help the persons who expect to derive—what the Times so magniloquently calls—the sound elements of political iiistrom; from the speeches made at Tory public dinners !

The Dublin Pilot says---" Peel, in the tottering condi tion of his Government and,of the country,,hason every instance, resorted to postponemeni instead of measures and intrigues instead- of force. On no question has in trigue been so busy as in relation to Repeal. From .s'-'+Ss' ^ Rome to Galway, from Manchester to Carlow, every de vice has been employed, every soft point acted upon, every infirmity of temper or principle tampered with, to try even from the bosom of the Irish people themselves, to get some of them, as of old, to roast each other, their country, and its most vital measures on the political spit. The following is from the Brighton Guardian : " There is no cessation of public distress. On the con trary, more persons at Nottingham, Manchester, and Paisley continually require relief; and several additional failures, it is said, have occurred at Glasgow. Some little expectation was excited by the acquittal of M‘Leod as removing one chance of hostility with the United States ; but the condition of our trade is less dependent on such contingencies than on our own legislation, and till that is altered there will be no revival of our pros perity." The Tyne Mercury remarks, in an article suggested by the signs of the times:—" The pressure from without forms itself gradually by the impinging as it were of one mind upon another, till that vast combination is produced which goes by the name of public opinion. Never was the process of intellectual amalgamation so powerful as it is at present. Almost every newspaper you take up convinces you of the truth—almost every man you meet with adduces to you, in ordinary con versation, some evidence of the forming of one of those immense phalanxes of thought and feeling which are preparing for great and overwhelming achievements. We ever expected, as, indeed, we have frequently de clared, that such things would arise from the accession of a Tory Ministry. That accession was required to pro duce the reaction which is approaching." We quote the following from the Cambridge Adver ilser ;—'‘ We shall soon feel the disastrous effects of the rejection. by the Tories of Lord John Russell's proposi tion of a reduction upon the duty paid for the admission of Brazilian sugar. Manufactured articles to the value of nearly five millions of money are annually exported from this country to Biazil, while by the imposition of a duty, which amounts almost to a prohibition, we vir tually refuse to take au portion of Brazilian produce in exchange."

At Paisley during the past week, the number of work people, with their wives and families, depending on,the Relief Committee for existence, has increased to upwards of 2,000 : the total number being no less than 8,435 persons, who have no means of supporting themselves except by charity. CODIVIERCULL =roam. The Anti-Corn-law Association of Birmingham in vited Mr. Curtis, of America, to deliver a lecture in the Town-ball yesterday evening, upon the injurious effects of the Corn-laws. White, the Chartist, however, with his followers, broke up the meeting, voting for the ex pulsion of Mr. William Scholefield from the chair, pre venting Mr. Curtis from speaking by the uproar, till Mr. Sturge, owing to the interruptions, was compelled to dissolve the meeting, upon which the fury of the meeting against White became so great, that had the people not been prevented he would have been thrown over the gallery. Mr. - Sturge fin-ally gave him his arm, and led him out. AGEICETLTIMAX. In the year 1837 a family of vine-dressers, consisting of nineteen persons, emigrated from the duchy of Nassau to New South Wales, where they transplanted the diffe rent descriptions of Rhenish vines. This crop, by the last accounts, produced 15,800 bottles. NX..ICTIONEERX 3 siG. Yesterday evening, a numerous meeting of the West minster Reform Society, was held at Stannard's Hotel, Covent Garden, to receive the report of the Committee appointed to superintend the registration of voters for the city of Westminster, 1841-42. It appeared that there were more than double the number of claims and objections made this year than in any preceding ; the total number of voters was 15,000. and the return of two Reformers will be insured at a future contest. NA.VAM AND MILITARY. Eighteen of the twenty-three Lieutenancies in the 62d Regiment are for purchase—a circumstance un paralleled in any other corps of infantry on the India establishment. The port of Gloucester presents a bustling scene ; the shipping arrivals are so numerous, that dock-room cannot be obtained. The trade of the city is greatly im proving, and no less than twelve vessels have arrived from France these last two days. LAW AND POLICZ. At the inquest held yesterday on the bodies of the two firemen killed on Sunday morning at the fire in Welling ton-street, the Jury returned a verdict to that effect. It did not appear from the evidence how the fire originated. A young man of the name of Armstrong was charged at Guildhall with attempting to utter a forged check for W. on Messrs. Masterman. From the evidence of the prosecutor it appeared that it was the second attempt of the kind. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. An Italian of the name of Cette was committed at Hatton-garden to take his trial for obtaining goods under false pretences from M. Ganguinetti, of Catherine-street, Strand. Rapallo, the associate of Smith in forging and uttering Exchequer bills, was this day fully committed at the Mansion-house, to take his trial at the Old Bailey. FINE ARTS. It has been proposed that the mass of fused metals formed by the destruction of arms in the Tower should be employed as a base on which to erect the proposed statue of the Duke of Wellington in the City, thereby raising his effigy on the arms which were wielded under his direction.
