of the people are resolved to put down the Corn- 1 law if they can. Even the Chartists, who will not join actively in putting it down, always ex press their abhorrence of it, and only refrain from uniting with others to attain that object because they look - beyond it, and openly say thatthey want to put down the authors of the law, and take from them the power ever to renew so barbarous an enactment. Passing over the nonsense which the Post, in common with a multitude of scribblers, and pro bably in common with its masters, expresses about regulated liberty only existing in proportion as the law is respected—as if the regulated liberty of buying and selling where and when men like, which is one of the most essential of all liberties for our commercial people, would not be esta blished and protected by treading the abominable Corn-law under foot--passing over all its custo mary and routine praise of law, per se, as if every enactment, be it what it may, deserved equal honour, and there were neither right nor wrong but that which Members of Parliament decree—we askethe Post, whose•especial fault is it that the 'passions or violence of the people can be stirred up at all on the subject of the Corn-law? We are aware that it is a most deli cate and tender subject; we grant that while there are thousands of people out of employment in every manufacturing town—while the mills are stopped, and merchants and manufacturers are breaking by: dozens—when hungry - mul titudes are' *demanding bread =it is a dangerous question to. moot,- 7 --but w h o has driven the country and the press into this terrible dilemma? Tile landlords, we answer; the Tories, whose organs now cry out and threaten punishment to those who hold up their profligate perseverance in wrong to merited re probation. If we had waited till now to de nounce the Corn-laws we might have been liable to the charge of improperly appealing to the people; but for three years and a half have we incessantly reprobated those laws, speaking of them at first as we speak of them now; and that our language now falls on the ears of a long-suffering, and starving, and perhaps infuriated people, is the fault of the law-makers, who have stubbornly persevered in plundering and oppressing them. The subsistence of the people is, of all sub jects, the most delicate that a law-maker can meddle with ; it is at, the same time that one which the least calls for his interference, because all theory and all experience prove that the peo ple best provide for their own subsistence. His duty is to.protect their industry, not to direct it. All theory and all experience prove that wheneVer he interferes with it he does mischief. He has no power to augment subsistence the value of a single potatoe. lie can only influence the production of national wealth to diminish its amount by changing its distribution. All he can do, and all he does by Corn•laws, is to take something from the right owner and give it to the man who owns it not. lie can not interfere with it, therefore, unless by vio- '.acing that property he holds power to protect. At the same time he is, and must be, ignorant of the circumstances, for no man knows them, which are hereafter to regulate the production of subsis tence; and if he peril his power by assmning the enormous responsibility of providing for the sub sistence of the people, be must not blame those who affirm that to submit to his frantic ambition, or be the victims of his murderous avarice, is not the duty of mankind. We have not stated these opinions without being well aware of their bearings and their vast importance; but it is impossible to know that one law-maker admits that this law enriches himself and all his tribe, by raising the price of the people's bread; that another law-maker, speak ing the sentiments of his class, openly declares that, whether men like this law or not, they shall have no other; that they must submit to be plundered; that he and his friends have the power of making laws, and they will eject from office every Ministry, as they have ejected one which proposes to alter them,—it is impossible to believe, as we believe, after much consideration, and in common with a great multitude, that this la.w, which the landlords are resolved wrong fully to maintain, dooms a large number of the people annually to hunger and to death by star vation—actually withholding food from them; which by their own honest industry they might purchase in abundance—that it interrupts com merce, and prevents the progress of brotherhood and civilization amongst the nations of the earth, —it is impossible to know that such a law exists only by the will of those who suppose they are . enriched by it, without being forced to discuss the doctrine of resistance, and coming to the conclusion that it is a crime in the community to obey such a law. . .

How frail, too, let us to remark in conclusion, is the tenure of power by those who assert that unless their frantic ambition and murderous avarice be blindly obeyed, society, which they did not create nor form, will fall into disorder. The Times yesterday startled the community by quoting proofs from Paris Journals, both Govern ment and Opposition, that France trembles on the brink of another great social revolution, and that its fate hangs on the life of a man who is shot at once a year. It does not require a poli tical remembrance beyond the year 1830, to con vince us that such a change in France would have disastrous effects for our aristocracy. They hold their power, then, by the frail tenure of Louts PHILIPPE'S life, and they madly persist, by their injustice, in turning the people, on whom they must rely for support, into enemies. LONDON : SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1341. The masters of the Morning Post seem alarmed, and begin to threaten the Press, thr.)ugh the medium of that Journal, with we know not what prosecutions. In its tirade yes- terday, on the subject of obeying the law, are the following passages:— . . If the Government Ie more anxious for the praise of being called '° Liberal." than for the protection of ra tional liberty, it is easy to see why this should be per mitted to go on ; but if the Government do its duty it will nut the law in force, in order to punish those who print and publishthat the law ought to be resisted. - . . It is often urged that by taking notice of certain offences the evil is spread abroad, and more harm done than good—that in many cases contempt is the best cor rective. W . e own that tni s d oes create a d i ff i cu l ty, an d that there is no absolute rule in such cases. It is the part of practical wisdom to he guided in such cases by circumstances. Howev er , w h en we take into account the quantity 01 error and prej u di ce wh i ch su b s i st upon the Corn-law question, and th e great linbilitn of die people to be stirred up toviclenc e upon t h e subject ; it i s our opinion that contempt is no long er t h e safe treatment for t h ose who publish that the existing law ought to be resisted. The Morning Chronicle begins to be " ap prehensive of some danger to the great princi ples of civil and religious liberty, from the con joined activity of Puseyism and Catholicism. The present age exhibits a great struggle going on between ecclesiastical power and the freedom of the human mind. We had thought that eccle siastical power had been fairly put down, and kept within its proper limits; but we behold it reviving once more, and contending for the mastery." That is true ; but we must accuse our Contemporary, and the majority of the Liberal press, of having contributed to bring about such a result. They have continually— especially when the Whigs were in office— spoken with approbation of the Church of Eng land; and they have, by upholding that institu tion, sanctioned and strengthened the claims of ecclesiastical power. If they expected to put down the power of the Romish priesthood by nourishing the power of another priesthood, which resembles the Romisk in everything but the name, they have been much mistaken. The true corrective of ecclesiastical power is not an Establi s h ed Church, but free inqu i ry; an d many of those who advocate the principles of civil and religious liberty, ought to he filled with regret at having countenanced and supported the Church of England. She has long been only . an auxiliary of Ro me , a helpmate in nursing s u per_ stition ; and now her proper office of preparing men to embrace Romanism, is alike revealed in the doctrines of the Tracts, and in the conversion of Mr. SIBTHORP. If our Liberal Contempora ries wish to see ecclesiastical power fairly put down, they must begin with the Church of England. . We believe, bold as have been the assertions of the Press, that the Post and its masters may safely b e defied. We have discussed, and other ournat; have'discussed, th e d uty of obeying or re sisting - the law ; and we have ma i n t a i ned, and shall continue to maintain, that it is the duty of all men to disobey and resist an enactment or decree, like that of HEaon, for putting infants to death, and like that of our Corn-law makers, -which dooms the people to starvation, whene ver they can successfully resist it. To attempt to • punish the Press for such discussion and such opinions is at once to doom men to the worst kind of slavery, that of , bein g the unresisting in struments of committing crimes they abhor, when ordered by a tyrant. It is quite true that if the law be resisted, and those who administer it have the power, they will punish the resisters; but we are not acquainted with any law, either written or un written, which rreEcribes punishment for those who discuss the propriety of resisting it, and who come to the conclusion that a law is of such a mischievous nature that to resist it, when men are able, is a matter of duty. It is the opinion of the Post, and probably the opinion of the land owners, that " they who affirm that the Corn law ought to be resisted "—that is, affirm that it is a murderous law, a law which ought never to have been enaaed, a law which it is immoral to Obcy—cc deserve punishment for every such public affirmation ;" but it is nor, we are persuaded, the Opinion of the majority of the sane and intelli gent people of . ttis empire, or any other empire, at any period of the warld. We refer to tlkdrticle we have copied from the Globe, tOAow that it is not the opinion of that Journal and its readers—we refer to the crowded. meetin g of the Dissenting Clergymen at Manchester, in August last— we refer to every Corn-law Association throughout the empire, all of which are intent on organizing resistance to the law, resolute to overturn it—we refer to the manner in which it has been no less indignantly than justly denounced in three-fourths of the Journals of the empire, L . ) show that the majority We stated on June 5, 1840, that " there are two immense bodies of men in this metropolis who have an interest in delaying causes, and prevent ing their clients from obtaining a settlement or their disputes, and so long as that state of things exists, the multiplication of Cowts and Jud , e s will only enable them more effectually to fleece their clients." We have now two new Courts and two additional Vice-Chancellors, and this deScription of their proceedings was given in the Post yesterday : "At nearly three o'clock," it said— " The Vire-Chancellor's Court was already `up' for the day. The Lord Chancellor was still sitting and listening to a gentleman who, from his mode of proceed ing, may be presumed to have quite forgotten that the life of man has been somewhat abridged since the great flood. We next found our way (by dint of great perse verance) to the incommodious chambers above stairs, where ic Mr. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce and M r. Vice-Chancellor Wigram hold their Courts. These Judges were still sitting, and appaiently very anxious "Oct. 20. to go on with the business in the paper ; but the barristers appeared to be anxious for only one thing, and that was, to draw the attention of their Honours to the clock upon the wall, which indicated that the hour of three was very near at hand. In vain did Mr. Fight Bruce sweep the Court perpetually with his double eye-glass, and look as reproachful as his extreme urbanity will permit him to look. In vain did he hint that he _ was not particular to a minute when business was to be done. At last a junior was prevailed upon to open a case, a task with which the said junior appeared to be by no means well pleased, while seniors stood up, and seemed fidgetty to get away. As for Mr. Vice-Chancellor Wigram, he answered plainly to the clock remonstrance, that he did not mean to rise at three, but wished to go on with hiS work. He could not, while we remained, get the work to do. Cause after cause was called on, but the professional gentlemen engaged were not there, or were not prepared to proceed." The two new Judges, now that they are ap pointed, have no bushiciss to perform. Bar risters and Solicitors are not anxious to get through causes. They have got two Courts to make a show and promise of getting a decision. They have obtained, thtrefore', an additional tiOb i k to catch their prey, but they will no more now allow it to escape tilt they have devoured'it, than they did when there was only the LORD CHANCELLOR'S Court in full practice.

The Corre,sponsa/ gives the copy of a paper, in the handwriting of Montes de Oca, and which was feund upon his person, but states that he constantly refusel to reveal the name of the per son to whom lie intended to send it. In this • paper he complains of having bees abandoned for ' a fortnight in the midst of the terrible circumstances by which het was surrounded, and states tint if he had been possessed of arms, and especially money, the cause •of Clr Queen would hare had an army of 20,000 men to resist , all'at tempts upon the Basque provinces:- (raper .

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, a-nd to refrain as much as possible from *oddly pursuits on a day set apart by universal consent for solemn duties, and rest from labour. Now iche 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, Lave 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 fur twenty-one days to pick oakum for selling sweet-meats to children on a Sunday ? 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 that it would be a long time before the man would be able to pay the fine by selling sweeties." The Chief Magistrate of Edinburgh, a crazy Non-lutrusioaist, 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, ail 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 lls. for expenses of Court, and a fee to the Procurator Fiscal (public prosecutor) of 4 21. 2s. 'While the poor man was working like a felon in prison, from his inability to pay 3/. ls., his wife and child were reduced to the greatest distress. " She was indeed," said Mr. ROBERTSON, one of the members of the Town Council, " an in teresting, heart-broken looking woman, and the child, from the cold to which it had unavoidably been exposed in the shop, wa fast dying, if it was not already dead." And can such cruelties be permitted in a Christian land? While Sir JAMES FORREST, in his scarlet robes of office, and the Reverend persecutor, are singing praises in the church, the "sighing of the prisoner," and the cries of his afflicted wife and dying child, will reach the ears of HIM 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 it' it was the quickest way to heaven." The Paris Journals 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, apd 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 Deputio;.; 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 inviolabilit) . - of the KING, and of the Representative Government, while an attempt is made to assassinate the KING every year, except when his children take his place. Calumny prepares the attempt to murder the KING, which is itself only a means to an end." The re- publican National admits the statement of the 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 VII.:— "With a due regard for just political 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 11., 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.

Debats to be true so far as regards the upsetting of the present Government, and glories in it. You plead," says the latter Journal, address ing the Debats, " 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 why you see with bitter pain the present escape towards the past, while we see better times approach. Thence your apathy, and our activity. You have already one foot in the grave, while we are rising into life." The National, in our opinion, here falls into the trap set for it by theDebats. Itevidently does not see the drift of theDebats' gloomy representa tion of the state of France. It forgets that QUENISSET'S trial comes on next Monday, and that the Chambers are soon to assemble, from which the Ministers anticipate a stormy opposition. The .Debats wants to frighten the people, and to provoke the Republican press into new indiscretions before the meeting of the Court of Peers on Monday. It will succeed. The unfortunate Brigadier QUIRoGA Y FRIAS was shot on the 3d instant at Madrid. The fol " We have now in the Mediterranean," says the Glebe (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 wo have besides, al! ready tar 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 tempera ace pamphlet, the fourteenth edi tion of which has just appeared, called "Das HattsKreuz," reckons that the number of drunkards in Prussia is 270,000, in Hanover 300,000, in llesse-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 " Vivo le Due de Bordeaux ! " "J'aime le Duc do 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, " Vice le Via 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 theta 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 that 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 hoard, 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. 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 ese 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 Frias, is another of the vic tims ; his execution took pl ace a t t en minutes after one tis day, at the Campo de Guardias.

Ike was observed to smile on an acquaintance he perceived among the crowd, but became deadly pale as he walked cro:n 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 N.

The Madrid papers of the 3d inst. are loud in their denunciations of the intrigues of France. The projected marriage ofa French Prince with the young Queen is generally ridiculed. " We invite," writes the Ministerial Expeetador, " 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, " A report is current," says the Manama 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 ll—. J—, and 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 28th ult., extracted frornethe Cork Examiner, stating that Lord Holland had , been converted to the Roman Catholic faith while at Rome in September last.

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 obtain e d t h e ass i s t a nce, 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 gendarme , : 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.

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 S y rians, applied to the Porte though the mediation of England, to send home the Egyptians also who are in the Ottoman army, and who are 16,000 in number.

The Expropriation Jury assembled at Versailles on Saturday last to decide upon fbur claims for immunities for loss and damage occasioned by the formation of the railroad between 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. ! and the claim of 100,000 E, 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 f. 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 thefull 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 18y000E, and got an award fur 15,000 f.

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 the 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. A PLEASANT PROSPECT FOR JOBBEIIS.— The Times, yesterday, suggested that a duty should be levied on the owners and occupiers of houses for the improvement of the metropolis. It only wishes for an additional 87,0001. a-year to the present parochial and county rates. Such a sum forimprovernents must make the mouths water of a host of architects, engineers, and schemers. The people would not feel such a trifling addition, and there would be no repugnance to misap propriate it. We shall cheerfully support such a levy, when the rate-payers shall be able to control the ex penditure ; but every shilling raised under the present irresponsible county, city, and parochial authorities, is only an encouragement to fraud and jobbing. A Society for Promoting Free Tra,de bas been formed at Sheffield. The originators of it state that the commercial affairs of our country have ,assiimed an as pect truly alarming. That all classes in this once pros perous town were suffering great inconvenience, or se -Vere distress—that this distress had not arisen from trade being conducted upon unsound principles, either from over-speculation or over-production; and yet, at the present time, numbers of manufacturers were rapidly consuming the hard-earned profits . of former years, while thousands of industrious artisans have low , - ' been, and still are, in utter destitution — the victims of disease and want, or keenly suffering with their families the most distressing privations. That manufacturers were suffer ing for want of demand—that shopkeepers were suffering fur want of customers—that artisans were suffering for want of employment--and that these are chiefly trace able to the present scale of Import Duties (high on most articles, and both high and fluctuating on the paramount commodity of corn), which have a direct tendency to check the demand for British goods, and thus encourage ether nations to manufacture. It was therefore resolved to found an Association, to be called " The Sheffield So. clay . for the Promotion of Free Trade." The first meeting is called for Nov. 15, when Earl Fitzwilliam is expected to be present. OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW.—The arrogance of assuming that the law is bad, in opposition to the wis dom of Parliament, appears to the Post to be coupled, as punishable, with that of recommendino resistance to it. Now we never shall recommend other than legal resist ance to the worst of laws. But we never shall abstain from characterising the Corn-laws as we consider their due, despite the wisdom of Parliament, and the terrors of t Tory Attorney-General. If denouncing those laws to the indignation of all who suffer from them be a crime, of that crime we shall most assuredly not cease to be . u ity; indeed we are encouraged by these evident ter rors of a bad conscience, to redouble our efforts, instead of "trembli ng i n t ense l y " at these Chinese proclamations. There is no charm in the • words " wisdom of Parlia ment," that should give us pause. The wisdom of the present Parliament consists in the fears of squires and farmer:. " Thu next," as Lord Shrewsbury says very sensibly (we are glad to quote his Lordship when he does talk sense), "may be again the Parliawnt of the Boroughs, as was the first under the Reform Bid."—Globe. NOVEL EXPEDIENT.—Last week, a person re siding not more than a hundred miles from Calverton, stole some rails, with the intention of burning them ; he had them sawn up, and put on the fire to boil the kettle, but they bad not been there long before an explosion took place, and the kettle was driven violently up the chimney. The owner of the rails happened to be a wheelwright, and he bored a number of holes, charged them with powder, and afterwards plugged them up ; thus he discovered the thief.—Nottingham Baum.

FIRST VISIT OF THE LORD MAYOR TO THE METROPOLITAN CHURCH, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Yesterday being the first Sunday after the election of Mr. O'Connell to the office of Lord Mayor, of Dublin, his Lordship attended at the Metropolitan Church at 11 o'clock, where a. pontifical high mass was solemnised on the occasion by his . Grace the Most Rev Dr. Murray, ArchbishOp Of Dublin. , The Lord Mayor came in his state carriage, _Which was used for the first time, and was drawn by two greys. The servants wore green and gold, of Irish manufacture, supplied by the Messrs. Dil lon, of Parliament-street. As his Lordship passed through the streets he was followed by an im mense and accumulating multitude of persons, who cheered him, as we venture to say no Lord Mayor of Dub lin was ever cheered before. The crowd in Marlbo rough-street and its vicinity was so great, it was with diffi.:ulty a large body of foot police, aided by some of the force on horseback, could preserie a passage. The interior of the splendid edifice was densely crowded from a very early hour in the morning. His Lordship arrived at eleven o'clock, and, on ascending the steps of the church, he divested himself of his robes of office and cocked hat, both of which were taken by his servant into the chapel house, where they remained until his Lordship's "return from the service. lie was received at the door of the church by the Ve nerable and Reverend J. Hamilton, the Rev. Messrs. Doyle and Milley, and conducted to the seat prepared for him in front of the altar. A portion of the sanctuary (at either side of the Lord Mayor), was appropriated specially to the aldermen and town councillors; of whom the following were present: —Aldermen Sir John Power, Bart., Patrick Gardiner, Peter Purcell, Egan, Luke Butler ; and Town Councillors Michael Staunton, Kir wan, Grace, M'Kenna, Fitapatric sever a k, M‘Legothers whoshlin, Byrne, Bury, Andrews, Pe arson, and l e names we could not ascertain.
