IL LONDON : TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1841. It has frequently been a theme of exultation with the Tory Journals that the Chartists were against the Liberals; and not unfrequently, we believe, the Tories have bribed a mob to inter rupt the public meetings of the enemies of the Corn-laws. They will come, we further believe, to repent alike of th e i r exulta,tio u a u d their eu couragernent. A report of a public meet ing for the propagation of the Gospel, at tempted to be held at Norwich last Thursday, which which we borrow from the Norwich Gazette, a Tory Journal, will prove to the Tories that the instructions they have given will be profitably acted on against themselves. No SYDNEY SMITH, lecturing on a troubled question of poli tical economy, was interrupted; but the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Norfolk, surrounded by the clergy and the elite of the diocese, and attended by many ladies, all assembled together for that long and much-lauded purpose of pro moting the propagation of the Gospel, was pre vented from even opening a meeting, and was forced, with the clergy and ladies, to retreat pre cipitately from St. Andrew's Hall. The meeting was broken up ; the people, who will probably be called heathens, could not tolerate the propaga tion of the Gospel while they were starving; they exclaimed against feeding slaves and pay ing slave-owners, while they were in want of food; they demanded more bread and less Bibles; more pigs and less parsons; and they drove away dir.omfited, though probably not ashamed, the men who, pretending to be minis ters of CHRIST, have leagued with the land owners to oppress the poor. We deem it right to say th.. 4 the language is probably exaggerated, in order td paint the op ponents of the parsons in 'as black colours as possible to the rest of the community: : Making allowance for that—believing that the words Y r e: e not so coarse as reported—enough remains to show that the spirit which now animates the multitude is essentially and decidedly hostile to the clergy and the aristocracy. Will the latter, then, while they pretend to govern the multi tude for their own good, dare to coerce the mul titude, and cut them down openly if they resist being starved by law? We are afraid that the Tory Government will. It is made as strong as it can be for the purpose of sustaining our pre oellf atua, sentiment recently avowed by the Lord Pr6si dent of the Council, seeing also that there are two soldiers in the Cabinet, we believe that the, Tory Government will be prompt in repressing every expression which it dislikes, however just may be that expression of popular indignation. The people must be well aware that in this country, with unwritten laws, with Magistrates who ..belong to the class of bread-taxers, with Judges prone to strain as well as make the law, legality depends entirely on the arbitrary will of Magistrates and Judges. The people must not conclude, therefore, when they act from the honest promptings of their own hearts, when their woe breaks out in the just but strong language of wrath, that the Magistrates cannot punish them by the help of the law. Law and justice, are totally distinct ; and they must be prepared, though they act strictly itliin the bounds of justice, to be visited, per secuted, punished, and coerced, in the name of the law. The men who pass laws to take a penny from every poor man's loaf to put into their own pockets, which at the same time put an end to employment, and prevent poor men from having the means of earning a loaf, are not,' the people may well believe, such ninnies at the business of law-making as not to surround themselves with all the protection which law can give them. Consequently, if any of the people propose to act as the men at Norwich acted, they must be pre pared to encounter all the terrors by which law makers have ever sought to subdue and awe the multitude into slavish obedience. They will, it is to be feared, act now, as they generally act, from mere impulse, without calculating the cost, or organizing any means of success; and, like their, forefathers, it is to be apprehended, by at tempting-td:recover their freedom, they will only strengthen - ithe hands of their oppressors. Their impelling motive speaks out as plainly as their words. They are hungry. Some of them get only five dinners between Easter and Mi chaelmas. They declare, from personal expe rience, that they are worse fed than the slaves of the West Indies. They are flogged, as they express it, in their belly, while the negroes are only flogged on . their back. Their whole soul is bent on having more food ; and more food, we believe, they will have, or they will rush on the armed bands of the aristocracy, and there find a less painful death than the daily dying to which they are now exposed. " There is great distress (we are told by a Cor respondent) amongst the weavers and labourers in this city. There are 314 persons in the work house, and the average weekly cost for main tenance, per head, is two shillings and threepence halfpenny ! There were 2,0-21 tickets issued for out-door cases of relief for the week ending the 2d October, amounting to 2681.85. 6d., and in the corresponding periods of last year there were only 1,766 cases, and *e have an awful prospect for the winter." Awful prospect indeed ! and the Tories have taken all the awful responsibility of such a condition of society on themselves, and have assumed the tremendous and awful responsibility of continuing at this time the starvation laws, with as much smirking, smiling, self-complacency, as if they were so many dancing masters, solicited to preside at. a •bal Tare. Their modest assurance perfectly " I s*lf-satisfied, while the heavens are louring, and ... te,, fr big black tornado is gathering around, while the distant thunder growls, and the streaked lightning only as yet faintly shows the coming danger, while they obstinately keep aloft all the gew-gaws and flying kites of aris tocracy, and will take no means to save the State, is one of the most alarming signs of the times. They are accustomed to deal with Parliament as a little girl deals with a doll. It is the creature of her will. It walks when she moves it, puts forth its legs and arms, opens its eyes, answers ques tions, plays at school, just as its little mistress likes, and she is not more absolute master of it • than the Tory Ministers are, for the present, of the Parliament. For them, as for her, the doll, or the Parliament, is the whole world; and, more childish than the child, they are easy in toying with the great affairs of mankind, be cause they fancy that in ruling the Parliament, Sir R. PEEL'S doll, they are ruling society. whey are fatally mistaken ; and if the flashes at NOrwich, and . the louring clouds spreading in .other directions, do . not make them quake at their own arrogant presumption, it will go hard for England. A man who once gets a crotchet into his bead is as sure to live and die with it as with his head itself. There is Lord WESTERN, for example, who still insists, in a supplement to his Letter to Lord JOHN RUSSELW that " the Currency is the grand master grievance which he wishes the members of the Manchester Chamber of Com merce to rivet their attention upon." Now the currency has really come to play a most insig nificant part in our affairs, for it has been re duced fully one-half since 1817, and the lesser quantity carries on a vast deal more business than the greater quantity did in 1817. All that the law does touching the currency is to give a monopoly of the issue of • promises to pay within a certain district to the Bank of Eng. land, and to fix an arbitrary price for gold, making it the standard, so as to raise our standard and lower our prices about four per cent. in comparison with those countries which use a silver standard. Both these are foolish and mischievous acts, but no man, not currency mad, will believe that such paltry, inefficient, com paratively uninfluential circumstances, can have produced the stoppage of our trade, the ruin of our manufactures, and the wide-spread distress which, even according to Sir R. PEEL, has now prevailed for a considerable time. The defective state of the currency does not starve the people, but the Corn-laws derange the currency, as Mr. COBDEN forcibly - points out in a letter to Lord WESTERN, and produce all the evils growing out of that derangement which Lord WESTERN asserts is owing to a gold * Published by Ridgway. ,34 .

His panacea for our distress is in an other Bank Restriction Act, to carry us through . the same vicissitudes of temporary prosperity, national bankruptcy, and the permanent degra dation of the people as the other. His Lordship is as enthusiastic in favour of unredeemable promises to pay, as ever was Mr. IRVING for the unknown tongues, or Mr. OWEN for his new plan of society. The Noble Lord says:— " Protect the Bank in administering to the commer cial wants of the country ; distress would vanish, the re venue recover, all would again be alive. It is as neces sary now as when Mr. Pitt threw his shield over the Bank, why should it occasion alarm ? The Bank would be just as solvent with closed doors as it is in its present state." We turn over to the next page, and we find the Noble Lord asserts : " I will only submit one further opinion to your consi deration. I think that the fixing the price of gold arbi trarily at 31. 17s. lOid. an ounce clearly must bring down, or rather keep down, the price of the products of labour, and labour itself, to the same proportionate low standard withgold itself. I say must, unless counteracted, as it is to a certain degree by paper, and that variation in value between the paper and gold BILTST make the cur rency unsteady and insufficient." The Noble Lord, however, while the Legis lature has passed a law to keep down the price of the products of labourers and of labour itself, iucists on maintaining another law which is ex pressly intended to exempt, as Lord STANLEY proved, the price of agricultural produce from the operation of this law, and keep it high when the gold law beats down all other prices. Now, Lord WESTERN forgets to tell the public that the same landlords who made the one law made t h e other. They did not do this blindly ; they knew' ,vhat they were about, as Sir J. GRAHAM has teal.."fied in the following passage : i( Th e l a ndowners," he said, writing in 18:26, "BARGAINED IN THE LAST SESSION WITH THE KING'S MINISTZRS TO SUPPORT A FARTHBR CONTRACTION OF TB_R CURRENCY, ON THE CON= DITION THAT THE GovfIINMENT DID NOT DE STROY THEIR MONOPOLY B:r A REPEAL OF THE Conx-LAws." They actually bargained away the rights and liberties of the people—for a free trade in money is one of those rights—in order to be allolved to retain the monopoly. The contraction of the currency, which Lord WESTERN condemns, was, in fact, an act of the law-making landlords, and they consented to make it on condition that it was not to affect them. These are the honour able, high-minded, opulent, independent land owners of England—such are our law-makers and the leaders of society ! When they are im mersed in such a quagmire of profligate disho nesty, how can the multitude, who follow them, stand on the firm ground of honesty, rectitude, and frugality ? The worst effect of their abomi nable conduct is its corrupting influence on the whole society. The British public may very naturally wish to be informed of the light in which our struggle with China is regarded by the French Press. To gratify public curiosity in this respect, we quote the following article from the Courrier Fran cais. We shall make no comment upon it, other than to observe, that we have not heard of any iefusal on the part of our gallant sailors in the Chinese seas, to proceed to any part of the coast indicated by the Commander-in-Chief of the ex pedition. With respect to the ultimate results of ' the expedition, we may be pardoned if we think it rather soon to discuss them : " The conflict of the British forces with the Chinese troops brings to mind the wonders effected in the con quest of Mexico by ernand Cortez. The Chinese are not better armed than tile Mexicans were, and their Em peror is far from showing the courage of Guatimozin. Whilst the English are cannonading his towns, he is amusing himself with deciSions as to the proper length of the silk gowns and tunics of his Generals. It is evident from the accounts which have reached us, tha::. 10,000 Europeans, backed by a respectable fleet, and well pror;fled with ammunition and stores, would be alule4o march through China without difficulty, and .to levy contribu tions upon its 300,000,000 of inhabitants. Tho English, however, will not attempt this gigantic enterprise. Of what use would it be for them to take what they could not keep. According to the Bombay Gazette, the expedition, after having taken possession of Amoy, will t pr4pceed to Ning-po, and from thence to Pekin. The see t siqupp*ears to us to be too advanced and the force to aniall,„for such an expedition. It is possible that Amoy may, he taken possession of, and that Ning-po, which commandi, the mouth of the great river and the Gulf of Nanl4n, may be insulted, or a ransom be demanded froinitacir%tig po is not much farther from Canton than thb islind of Chusan, which has been already occupied by Admiral Elliot. But Pelciu is situated at the extremity of China, five or six hundred leagues to the north of Canton, and already have the crews of the ships, dreading„the storms which are so violent in the Chinese seas, refused to take that course. In an attack upon Amoy or Ning-po the fleet could support the land forces; but this would not be the case with an expedition against the city of Pekin. In order to attack the Emperor in the seat of his power, there must be a force large enough to occupy the inter mediate positions, and to secure a communication with the sea. This could not be done with the force under the command of Sir James Bremer, which d. not ainount to more than 3 ; 000 land troops. The war of the English against China will produce them, perhaps, in the form of contributions, a sum equal to its expense. They may, moreover, take up a position on the coast which may put the trade of this part of the world entirely in their hands. We question, however, vvhethet they wiit be able to triumph over the inert resistance which is Abpposed to them, and which will leng continue to be opposed to them, by the peculiar civilisa tion of the Chinese. This civilisation has a horror of foreigners, and does not even permit iutercourse with their conquerors. We see the English masters of the approaches to Canton, and levying a contribution upon the city, but not daring to enter it, and establish themselves there. All that will result to Europe from so imposing an expedition will be a more correct plan of the coasts of China, but we shall know nothing more than we now know of the customs, public and private, of this singular people. The Chinese have proved that their guns do not reach the mark ; and we have seen them fighting with their swords and bucklers like the Tartars of the twelfth century ; but as to everything else,. we derive no more information from the English expedition than the missionaries and other travellerS have told us. The wall, which separates China from civilised Europe, opposes an invincible repugnance to contact with us ; it seems to be a barrier which recedes from us, as we advance with the hope of surmounting it." %Ve are indebted to the Morning Post for the subjoined late and interesting news from China. Our Contemporary supposes that it was omitted in the parcel sent from Marseilles. This is not improbable, seeing that the intelligence it brings only reached Bombay on the Ist of September, after the Mails describing the capitulation of Can ton, and its evacuation by the British troops, were made up. We may further observe, that as this news is not of an exciting character, it is reasonable to suppose that very little regard was paid to it at Bombay, in the midst of the excitement occasioned by the transmission of more stirring accounts from China. It represents exactly such a state of things as Captain ELLIOT'S imbecility had fully prepared us for. This misera ble Plenipotentary, by his petty manoeuvres, is teaching the Chinese the art of British warfare, so that by the time the next expedition arrives before Canton it will have to encounter, in addi tion to Chinese numbers, the rudiments f Bri tish science. For the authenticity of the sub joined intelligence the Post is responsible. We may, however, adi, that we entertain no doubts upon the subject : _ _ _ . _ BOMBAY, SEPT. 2.—The non-arrival of the Calcutta mail, and consequent detention of the steamer for another day, enables me to append ten days' later intelligence from China, brought by the Castle Huntley, which ar rived here yesterday afternoon, from Macao the 29th of June. Matters remain in precisely the same state as at the date of the previous despatches. Everything con tinued quiet ; and, although Captain Elliot had declared it unsafe for British ships to remain at Whampoa, several vessels were there discharging their cargoes, in defiance of this warning, and several British subjects were in Can ton, the Chinese granting chops to English ships as readily as to others. The following is an extract from a letter dated Macao, June 28:— " The ships of war are very sickly, and the general opinion is that the expedition will not go to Pekin this year, but that they will content themselves with Amoy and Ningpo. Captain Elliot has sold allotments of land at Hong Kong, and he has recommended all British ships to go there. There are one or two ° ciodovvns finished, and some co t ton h as b een s t ore d th ere , but the Chinese say that no men of capital among them will go there, because the Emperor disapproves of the cession of the island, and would squeeze them and their families so. verely ; so that I imagine the place, for the present, will be only a smuggling station, a good place to store opium. " The Commodore, Sir Gordon Bremer, is said to be chief or joint Plenipotentiary, but that does not mend matters, as he will be led in all things by Elliot. Men of ability must surely be scarce in England that they cannot spare us one to affect a speedy settlement of the good question. I really begin to despair." The news of the appointment of Sir Henry Pottinger as Plenipotentiary had not reached China by the latest accounts. Commodore Bremer and Sir Hugh Gough had both left 3TaCito fvr Hog Kong. (From the Canton Press, June 26.) By the latest accounts from Canton everything there continued quiet, but although some British as well as American merchants continued to reside there, no trade of any amount could be carried on The Hong merchants refused to purchase imports, and also to secure the British ship, Simon Taylor, arrived at Whampoa, after the attack on the city. Her con signees have, we are informed, addressed a petition to the Hoppo, with what success .we have not learned. Only a very few shipments had been made to the ships at Whampoa, and these were chiefly of green teas for the American market. Should the Chinese continue to refuse to secure British ships, and by this means force the trade into the hands of neutrals, we fancy that a blockade of the river will become a necessary measure. A great scarcity of money prevails at Canton and Fashan, and great distress among the labouring classes. It is said, however, that the Government is active in repairing the defences of the river, and that the fortresses the Chinese recovered by the late treaty are being again put into a state of effi ciency. Wangtung, which was not destroyed by the English, on.returning that fortress to the Chinese, has, by the latter again been garrisoned, and we hear that several Macao , lighters have lately been fired at from that fort on going up the river. " The health of both soldiers and sailors, which had suffered so severely during their gallant attack on Can ton, by hard duty and exposure to a scorching sun and heavy rains alternately, and to the poisonous exhalations from the swampy paddy-fields, was very fast improv ing. That of the soldiers as being more accustomed to such service, was,l with a few exceptions, per fectly restored ; but on board the ships a good many sailors and marines, though convalescent, had not yet quite recovered. In addition to the death of Sir F. Senhouse, we regret to have to record the deaths of Captain Brodie, of her Majesty's troop-ship Rattlesnake, of apoplexy ; of Dr. Wallace, surgeon of her Majesty's ship Con way ; Adjutant Wilson, of the 18th Royal Irish ; and Lieutenant Fitzgerald, of her Majesty's ship Modesto, who died on board of that ship on the 22d of June, of the wound he received in the leg, off Canton, on the 24th of May." The Castle Huntley spoke the ScalesbyCastle at Anjer, and the George Armstrong and Sandersons in the Sooloo sea. The Fort William left Anjer for England on the sth of August. The passengers by this vessel are Capt, Ro gers, of the Atalanta steamer, Mr. Drysdale, of the firm of Lindsay and Co., and Mr. Gilbert Smith, of the firm of Macvicar and Co., the last just in time to save his passage by the present steamer. The late arrivals in China are the Tweed and St. Mungo, from Singapore, Thomas King, from Sydney ; and the - Penang and Beulah, from Liverpool. The departures are the Huntress, fur New York, and the George Armstrong, for London. A letter from .Macao says—" We are teaching the Chinese the art of war ; their improvement in gunnery was matter of astonishment to all." Of the insurrection in Spain there is but little additional information in the Paris Journals of &Imlay. There was a report that the Govern ment had received a telegraphic despatch, stat ing that General O'DONNELL had bombarded the town of Pampeluna from the citadel, and so compelled it to surrender. Had the French Government received such a . despatch we do not think that it would keep it a secret. There were also reports that the garrison of Santona, and the cavalry at San Sebastian, had declared for. Queen CHRISTINA, but other accounts represent them as unfounded. As we have. given elsewhere all the accounts which have been received of the insurrection in Spain, we have only here to refer the readers of The Sun to them. Of their importance we can yet f o ym no decided opinion. The following news has been received from the fron tiers o f ,pain :—" Yesterday (Wednesday)," says the Sentinelle des _Pyrennees "at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Spanish main, which usually arrives at Bayonne at six o'clock in the m orning, had not yet appeared, whence it may be stipposed that it has been stopped by the in surgents. "A report is this moment circulated that Espartero has been stabbed. We are the more inclined to believe this report to be false, because we have just received by an extraordinary 'conveyance a letter from Madrid, dated October 3, which - brings' us no news, and even states that the Capital of Spain was perfectly tranquil. " On the 3d Bilbao declared for the Christino move ment. Don Jose Rueto has brought this news to Bayonne, whence he proceeds to Paris." --La Gazette de France. The Moniteur Parisien affirms that the conference on the subject of a Commercial Treaty between France and Belgium will be resumed as soon as the Belgian Commissioners have received from the Government the new instructions for which they have applied. The King of the Belgians is expected at , 'Paris at the end of this month, at the latest in the beginning of November. Our readers will remember that M. Ledru Rollin; de puty ot*l_." , e Mans, and M. Hauresin, ,the responsible editor of the Coutfier de la Sarthe, were proceeded against some time ago, Ledru delivering, and M. . , Haureau for pulai:thivz . a speech to the electors, in which M. Ledru Rollin is-..l. l argeitli a libel upon the Chambers and the Governm4t.„ The Cour Royale of Angers had'ordered the trial te,taliii.i:dice at the Assizes of Le Mans, but the Procureur-Gineral of Angers ap plied to the Court of Cessation to have another Court of Assize substituted, assigning as a ground for this ap plication that a fair trial eould,,pqt,bp s had at Le Mans. The appeal came before the Court of Cessation yester day, and after having heard M. Ledru Bollin and the Avocat-General, M. Hello, the Court ordered that the trial should take place at the Assizes of the Marne- et- Loire (Angers). After delivering this decision the Pre sident, addressing M. Ledru, said, "M..Lcdru, the Court would not interrupt your address, but it is bound to de clare that if it had not been indulgent for a defence which regarded yourself, it would not have tolerated the unconstitutional doctrines which you have just put forth, and your disrespectful language towards the judi cial authorities." DEATH OF SIR JOHN BAYLEY..--We announce with regret the death of this venerable, upright, and able lawyer. We have not learned the particulars or time of his death ; but unfortunately there can be no doubt of the melancholy event, as the City Registration Court, where his son presides, was adjourned yesterday on this account till Tuesday. He was born in 1763, was made one of the Judges of the Court of King's Bench in 1808, and subsequently removed to the Court of Ex chequer. He is succeeded in the title by his son, John Edward George, one of the Revising Bar risters. SECONDARIES' COURT. (THIS DAY.) SINGER V. UPTON. This was a writ of elegi't to inquire as to the amount of property within the bailiwick of the Sheriff of Lon don, possessed by the defendant, a Mr. Thomas Upton, of Bow Church. Mr. ROGERS stated the case to the Jury, and said that this was a writ to ascertain what property the defendant was possessed of, in order that the plaintiff might obtain satis faction for a debt due to him from defendant of 181/. 7s. 7d. The defendant was possessed of certain houses in Bow Church-yard, which he held under a lease of twenty-one years of the Rector and Churchwardens at the yearly rent of 4501. Some time ago the defend ant entered into an arrangement with his creditors, and at the meeting he stated to them that he had let this property for 795 L, leaving him a clear yearly income of 3451., and also that a part was unlet, which, when occupied, would bring him in 3001. more. Several witnesses were called to prove these facts, and an estate agent, who had valued the premises, being called, stated that part of the property was unoccupied ; he valued the property now let to be about a clear yearly rental above all charges of 2001. The Learned UNDER SHERIFF having summed up, the Jury returned a verdict, "that the defendant was possessed of an interest in certain property within the bailiwick of the Sheriffs of London of the clear yearly value of 2001. per annum. DOCKING V. MOON. This was an action to recover the sum of 74. Gs. 6d., being the balance of an account. The plaintiff was a licensed victualler, and resided at Henfield Lock, New Eci monton, and his house was situated near to some Government works. The defendant was a labouring man, employed in those works. The defen dant, together with the other workmen, was in the habit of dealing with the plaintiff, and he sup plied them with various articles of food and provisions. When the workmen applied to him for ar ticles he did not sell, he was in the habit of lending them money, which was put down to their account, and settled at the end of the month. This com menced in the year 1833, and several of the accounts having gone into arrear the plaintiff called a meeting of the workmen together, and they agreed to pay off their several accounts by instalments. The defendant was one of the parties to that agreement, and paid his instalments up to 1837, since which the plaintiff could get no more from him. The defendant pleaded first, the several issues ; and, secondly, the statute of limitations. IVitnesses were called to prove the facts of the decla ratioalf, and un.t the Jury returned for the plaintiff fo r the full m 6 MARLBOROUGH STREET. (VHS DAY). George Price, and John Price, two respectably dressed youths, brothers, were placed at the bar before Mr. ilardwiek, the presiding; Magistrate, charged with throwing lobs of wood and stones anio n !; the trees in Kensington Gardens, for the purpose of knocking down chestnuts. At every throw they broke off or injured some of the young branches; and damage to such a consider able extent to the timber growing in the gardens, had been done during the sun-liner, that his Royal highness the Duke of Sussex, as head ranger, has issued orders that the keepers should tale into custody whoever was found so offending. One of th e gardeners. employed in the grounds stated that a number of trees were every season completely destroyed ; the stones bruised the bark of the young branches, and the wet getting into the wood, rotted, and extended over the whole tree. Mr. HARDWICK said a stop must be put to such a mis chievous practice, and fined the defendants ss. each, or, in default, seven days imprisonment in Tothill-fields Bridewell. j S ''ARY OF NEWS AND Public irpinton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Paris Journals of Sunday continue to accuse the French Government of having fomented the insurrection in the north of Spain. " The part acted by the French Cabinet," says the Commerce of Sunday, "is one of the grossest, falsehood and immorality. As long as the con spiracy was being carried on in the dark, and uncertain of success, the French Ministry protested its innocence ; but now it throws off the mask, seeing that the insur rection has strength and hope. Thus does it loosen every principle of order and of justice. For ten years the Government has been declaiming against conspira cies, and it takes a part in a conspiracy. For ten years it proclaimed the legitimacy of Governments de facto, sanctioned by the will of the nation, and now it brands them with the name of usurpation. It talks of a general disarmament, and now is forced by its line of policy to assemble an army on our southern frontier. The Budget presents a deficit ; the Government increases our charges ; our commerce is in want of markets ; our in tercourse with the Peninsula is on the eve of being stopped. And for what end, in what view, is our Ministry guilty of such glaring contradictions, such gross errors ? To place a temporary power into hinds that knew not how to wield it when they were once in possession, and who can only hope to regain it by foreign influence." The Quotidienne, a Carlist paper, says—" The Bourse has been in agitation for the last few days, caused by the news from Spain. It was affirmed that the Ministry had received from the Spanish Regency notes of no pacific nature. It was added that, in consequence of these notes, orders had been forwarded for the assembling of troops on the frontiers of the Pyrenees, after the holding of an extraordinary Council of Ministers. This news caused a fall in our Funds of about 20 cents. The Spanish Funds fell considerably, and closed much lower than on Friday." The Temps affirms that recruits are enlisting at Chail lot and at Passy, near Paris, for Queen Christina, who is expected to leave the capital in a few days for the Spanish frontier. The Constitetionne/ has the following curious para graph :—lmmediately on the receipt of the intelligence of the rising at Pampeluna, M. Olozaga, the Spanish Mi nister, waited on M. Guizot, to ascertain from him what course the French Government intended to pursue. M. Guizot is said to have assured him that France was totally foreign to the revolt, and recognized no other Government than that existing in Madrid. "As a Mi nister," replied M. Olozaga, "I must regard this declara tion as sincere ; but, as a man, I disbelieve it." M. Oluzaga immediately sent off despatches to London, for the purpose, we suppose, of informing the British Go vernment of what had taken place. The news of the occupation of the citadel of Pampe luna by General O'Donnell reached Madrid on the 3d inst. The Regent at once appointed General Chacon to supersede General Ribeiro in the command of the troops in Pampeluna. This is rather ungracious, considering that Ribeiro remained firm in his allegiance to the es tablished Government. From all the accounts yet received from Spain the in surrectionary movement appears to be in a great mea• sure a military one. There have been no manifestations of enthusiasm on the part of the populace, and a great deal of wavering was observable on the part of the troops which have already joined O'Donnell. The Carlist officers who signed the Convention of Bergara, and so for ever separated themselves from Don Carlos without obtaining the confidence of the Liberal party and the Cortes, are the chief malcontents. Senor Sancho, Deputy for Valencia, has been appointed by Espartero Ambassador to the Court of London. Thi; Christinos had planned a rising at Madrid simul taneously with the revolt at Pampeluna. The conspiracy was timely discovered by the Regent, who took the pro per steps to crush it, in which be effectually succeeded. The garrisons and citizens of Saragossa and Logrono hare declared in favour of Espartero and the existing Government. There is a bad feeling growing up between France and the United States. The tariff adopted by the Pre sident, which imposes an additional duty of 20 per cent. on foreign goods, is regarded by France as an attempt to ruin her trade. " The President of the United, States," threateningly writes the Ministerial Messager of Sunday, " has sanctioned the new tariff, which im poses a duty of 20 per cent. upon articles of luxury hitherto exempt from duty, or subject to a very low rate. Under these circumstances the Government has to take some measures which are now the subject of its most serious attention. The question is to find some means calculated to make the American Government repent of its harsh commercial measures, without adding to the injury which those measures may do to French manufacturers. It is affirmed that, as a preliminary step, a declaration will be made to the American Government that the Treaty of 1831 is to cease. After this France will consult her dignity and her honour." This is a very pugnacious way of settling commercial questions between Christian States. Does Monsieur Frog intend to treat brother Jonathan as John Bull does John China man ? PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post has the following remarks on the Corn-law question, and the way in which it should be discussed :—" The real quality of the Corn•law is mat ter of controversy. Large majorities in both Houses of Parliament deem it to be a most salutary law, bene ficial to the landowners certainly, but absolutely essen tial to the well-being of the labouring classes. At all events it is the law, and while it continues to be so it ought to be spoken of in respectful language. They who are doubtful of the policy of the law are, of course, quite right to state the grounds of their doubt as em. phatically as they can ; but they have no right to say that those who think differently are criminals, and worse than robbers and murderers. They who have made up their minds that the law is bad, should, at least, have some deference to the majorities of both Houses of Par liament who think that the law is good. No one objects to their attempt to show that the law is bad, provided those attempts be made with decency and temperance ; but it is very gross effrontery to assume that their' oppo nents are utterly wrong, having, as they certainly have, the law on their side."—This is sheer twaddle. Many measures have been wrong--" utterly wrong," notwith standing that they had " law on their side." The Test and Corporation Acts were wrong—wrong in spirit as in policy—yet for years they had " law on their side." The same may be said of the Catholic Penal Code, which for many long years was the law of the land. The boroughmongering system, too, was wrong —and to a still more grievous extent—yet from the days of Sir Robert Walpole, and long before, down to 1832, it had " law on its side." Law, also, was ranged on the side of the Gagging Bills of Castlereagh ; yet the good sense and justice of the community decided that all these various measures were wrong, and the Legislature was, in consequence, compelled to repeal them ! If the people generally had a share in making the laws, the hypothesis would be correct that they were just ones ; but when we know that for ages they have been made by a party, and that the people have seldom or never been consulted on the subject, the odds are that they are nar row in spirit and erroneous in policy. As for our Con temporary's remark that " deference should be paid to the majorities of both Houses" on the subject of the Corn-law, we repudiate it as the merest cant. Those majorities are self-interested ones. The} support mono poly only because monopoly supports them, and deserve no more " deference" than is manifested in speaking the strict truth of them. The Chronicle says, in reference to the present agita tion on the Corn-laws—" The great question of commer cial reform, and especially that important portion of it which relates to the Corn-laws, has taken a deep and permanent hold of the public mind, To fancy that the agitation will subside is the supposition of a fond or foolish brain. It cannot subside. The causes which produced it are in full operation, and no temporary re vival of trade can abate their influence, though it may slightly modify their effects. No statesman can airord to despise that agitation. If he did, it would only prove that he was utterly undeserving the character which he assumed, though, at the same time, it must be admitted that the character of a states man is one more frequently assumed than sustained."— If, as our Contemporary asserts, it be a proof of indif ferent statesmanship to treat popular agitation with con tempt, then the present Ministers must be the veriest noodles imaginable. Not only do they treat the clamours of the starving thousands with contempt, but they act just as if tkere were no clamour at all among the people ! To all but their own pleasures they resolutely turn a deaf ear. Backed by an unscrupulous majority, they are determined to let things take their own course. Next February will be quite time enough to consider the distresses of the country ; till then, people must wait. Such is the language of Ministers, which, %i e suspect, they will not alter, till enlightened by blazing hay-stacks, and the fierce and ominous desperation of the half frenzied thousands in the manufacturing districts. We quote the following from the Herald :—" The capture and sale of Canton must have confirmed the Chinese in their estimate of the British character—that we are nothing better than pirates and banditti, needy and greedy barbarians, snak ing war and slaughtering for the sake of ransom and booty ; and regardless of every interest but that of our treasury chest. To Europe these occurrences exhi bit a renewal of the warlike customs of the middle ages, and revive a practice which was thought to have been banished from civilisation when the buccaneers were driven from the Spanish Main. The attack on Canton, ending in this sale, has evidently been altogether thrown ' away on the Chinese, and it is clear that a true account of the occurrence will never reach Pekin. The local authorities at Canton had indeed scarcely got rid of the expedition when they began to repair their forts and prepare for another struggle : and they had at once wholly misrepresented the nature of the attack to the Emperor. The report sent to Pekin by the Emperor's nephew, Yih Shan, is in this respect an important do cument." Alluding to the present quarter's financial return, the Tines says:—" It is the first under a Conservative Go vernment; and it is a favourable one. It affords ground for hope that the tide of disquietude and dis trust has ceased to flow, and that confidence is about to rettum. That is the chief thing wanting. Nothing can be so injurious to the commercial and manu facturing interests as perpetual alarms and constant ru mours of change and contention. 'rho first desideratum, so far as they are concerned, is tranquillity ; the second, a sufficient, and not fluctuating, currency."— The absurdity of the quarter's revenue being favour able because " it is the first under a Conservative Go vernment " is too obvious to escape notice. Equally absurd is our Contemporary's recommendation to the people to keep quiet, as if they would ever be otherwise than quiet, when they had no serious grieyanses to MI plain of 1 But to keep quiet, seems to be the Times' panacea for all sorts of distresses. " That is the chief thing wanted," he says. Doubtless it is so by a Tory Government ; but will keeping quiet fill the bellies of the starving operatives ? Will it procure the repeal of the Corn-laws, and shake off the chains that bind the limbs of commerce ? Not a bit of it. To keep quiet under distresses, is to show indifference to those dis tresses ; and thereby to furnish the Legislature with the strongest of all possible reasons for doing nothing. MONEY-TRAM r-c OIVIIWEIt CZ. The fair at Leipsic was increasing greatly on the 22d ult. Travellers from the East were purchasing large quantities of silk goods and Bohemian glass. French goods met a ready sale, whilst English stuffs were bad in demand. The Russian merchants had brought vast quantities of tea from Moscow : the Dutch exhibited samples of Java tea, considered equal to the best China. In Essex the remnants of the harvest produce are still abroad. In Dengie hundred, there is as much as fifty acres of canary seed abroad, almost sure to be valueless. The clover seed is rotting on the ground, and there has scarcely been a fine day over the country for the last month. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. There will be five eclipses next year ; three of the sun and two of the moon. The eclipses of the sun hill be visible on January 11 and July 8, the other invisible. The eclipses of the moon will be visible on January 26th, the other invisible. LAW AND POLICE. _ _ At the Chelmsford Quarter Sessions, which commence to-day, there are about 80 prisoners for trial. On Saturday Mr. Richard Thelwell, lately carrying on an extensive business as a jeweller and silversmith, at Manchester, and William Moobay, employed as the por ter, were examined before the Magistrates of that town, charged with abstracting from his warehouse (he being . a bankrupt at the ti me ) p ro p erty to t h e amoun t of 9,0001. Mr. Thelwell was requ i re d to fi n d two sureties in 1,0001. each, for his appearance next Saturday. The servant also was admitted to bail. A respectable looking man of the name of Forrester, described as. a chemist, in Islington, was charged with firing a loaded pistol at constable No. 111 N division, on Saturday night. A man who was near the policeman narrrowly escaped with his life. The prisoner, who ap peared to be of unsound mind, was remanded. SFORTING. A person named Charles Thurlow commenced on the 10th of August, and completed on the 21st ult., at Nor wich, the task of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive hours. In the sixth number of the Idler, Dr. Johnson gives an account of a lady who undertook to ride one horse 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours, which she executed in little more than two-thirds of the time. The heroine was conducted through the last mile' with flowers and triumphal honours, and the Doctor proposed that an equestrian statue should be erected to her at her starting post, Newmarket, to " tell the grand-daughters of our grand-daughters, what an English maiden had per formed." ELECTIONEERING. A new election is likely to take place for the Borough of Downpatrick. The Irish Reform Act provides, that no election can be held in boroughs until four days after receipt of the writ, while it appears the election for Downpatrick took place on the third day. NAVAL AND NUM/TART. The domestics of Sir Charles Bagot, with a large quantity of luggage, portable furniture, and other arti cles, were embarked yesterday on the Styx steamer, at Woolwich, when she started for Portsmouth. The new Governor-General and suite embark this day for Canada. THEATRICAL. A new burletta, eiiTitleTZocorico," was brought out last night at the Adelphi. It was tolerably successful. Miss Adelaide Kemble, previous to making her debut at Covent Garden Theatre in the present season, is at present at Frankfort, where she is busily pursuing her musical studies. COURT—FASHXONABLE. We are happy to hear that her Majesty was sufficiently improved in health yesterday afternoon to take a short carriage airing in the Great Park, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who drove her Majesty. It is expected that the Queen will prolong her stay at the Castle till Monday next. The Duke of Sussex and the Duchess of Inverness have arrived at Mulgrave Castle, on a visit to the Mar quis and Marchioness of Normanby. The Marquis of Waterford left town last week for Curraghmore, Ireland. The Earl of Lot - v.:dale is at Lowther Castle, enjoying excellent health. The Earl of Ripon left town yesterday for his seat, Norton, Lincolnshire. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston leave Carlton house-terrace' in a few days for Broadlands, Hants. Sir Robert Peel and family leave town next week for Drayton Manor. Lord Sydenham was a brother, and not a nephew, of Lady Taylor, the wife of Sir Charles Taylor, of Notty combe, the friend of Mr. Canning ; and was only con nected with the Noble Lord (Brougham) by the mar riage of his niece (Miss Taylor) with the brother of that Noble Lord. A bazaar for the sale of fancy work, under distin guished patronage, will be held at Exeter Hall on Tues day and Wednesday, next week, in aid of the subscrip tion for the poor inhabitants o f Z an t e , w h o su ff ere d b y the destructive earthquake last year. MISCELLANEOUS. To-morrow will be the anniversary of the death of Canova, the sculptor, at Rome, in 1822. Also the an niversary of the death of Murat, ex-King of Naples, who was shot in 1315 on the coast of Calabria. A contract has been entered into by the Charity Trustees of Bristol, to supply to the poor the quartern loaf, consisting of four pounds of good household bread, for the next six months, at 6d. On Thursday last, a lady named Johnson took her place in one of the train carriages from the Harrow station to London, having in her possession Bank-notes to the amount of a thousand pounds ! When she reached Broad -street, she found her reticule was want ing, and having made her case known, immediately pro ceeded to the Euston terminus in company with her brother, when, to her great joy, she found the money in the same position in which she had left it in the carriage. An American Paper remarks that there are 4,500 languages throughout the world, besides the language of the eyes. HEIRS TO THE THRONE.—The heirs general of three Royal families of Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart, at this day, those of the Princess Henrietta Maria, daughter of King Charles 1., and Duchess of Orleans—viz., Francis Ferdinand, hereditary Prince of Modena, conjointly were his maternal aunts, the Duchess of Lucca, and the Lm press of Austria ; and but for the Act of Settlement in troduced a safeguard against Popery, that Prince, as eldest heir of the body of King Charles 1., would now have filled the Throne of these realms. The Bankers' Circular calculates that there is a suf ficient quantity of wheat in the country to last till Oc tober, 1842. The Times says :—" It is now, we believe, definitively settled that Lord Cowley will succeed Lord Granville as her Majesty's representative at Paris, and that Sir R. Gordon will proceed in the same capacity to Vienna. The Embassy at the Court of St. Petersburgh has been offered to Lord Vesey Fitzgerald, and in case of his de clining to accept the appointment, the post will be filled by Lord Stuart de Rothsay." The subject of the Ramsgate bathing' exhibitions was brought under the notice of the Ramsgate Commissioners of Pavement on Tuesday last, when after a short con sultation, the subject was•ordered to be referred to the Police Committee. A LOFTY ABODE.—The highest inhabited place upon the face of the globe is a farm-house situate 13,500 feet above the level of the sea, or about two miles and a half above that level. This lofty and elevated habitation is situate on a peak of the Andes, in South America, Chim borazo, which rises to 21,440 feet above the level of the sea. It may be truly said that the dwellers in this farm. house are accustomed to move in " high life." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.
