ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE ONE OF THE SONS OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. The follow•iny distressing intelligence has just been brought by extraordinary express from Paris. It appears that the Duke D'AUMALE who had marched with the 17th Light Infantry through France from Marseilles, had just arrived in PaKis, and while proceeding at the head of regiment, together with three of his brothers, to Neuilly, an assassin fired at the party, and aimed the shot, as was supposed, at the Duke D'AUMALE. Other accounts state that the assassin aimed at the Duke of ORLEANS, but all three fOrtunately escaped unhurt. The assa;sin was instantly arrested, when the regi ment continued to march to Neuilly, where the Royal family at TE. - es2nt resides. Public feeling at Paris, it appears, was in a very excited state. " PARIS, MONDAY. " An attempt has been made to assassinate the Duke d'AUMALE to-day. lie was at tile h ea d o f hi* regiment, proceeding alo ng the faub ourg . S t. Antoine to Neuilly, where a grand banquet was pre!,ared by the King and Queen for him and his comrades in arms, when a man dressed a• blouse started from a cab aret an d dis cha,rged a pistol shot at hi m . I t i s said that the shot was directed at the Duke D'AumALF., be cause h e was a little in advance of his R o y a l bro thers ; but the Dukes of ORLE ANS , N EMOURS, ana.MONTPENSIER were with him, and the as aimed at the Duke of OR sassin migirt 11 M LEANS as the heir to the throne. Fortunately the shot did not take effect, but the horse of a Ge neral VAILLANT was killed, and it is said that the General was slightly wounded in the knee. The assassin was about thirty years of age, and no doubt a member of the secret societies that have lately been creating disturbances in Paris, but as yet no particulars have transpired concern ing him. " After a few mitrates' delay the march of the regiment was resumed, and it passed along the Boulevards, the Princes still maintaining their places at its head, and cheered by the people. It proceeded to Neuilly, and, up 0 the hour of writiri~, Lo account of any other d:sag;ecable oc currence has arrived here. "Very disagte.eable events have taken place ai Clermont, in Au vergne. The people, resisting • the officers in the taking of the recensement, had fired on the military who supported them, kill ing and woundit g seventeen soldiers. At one moment the thin} looked very serious, but addi tional troops wert called in, and the riot was put down. " Groups of lcrw characters paraded the place de Chatelet and several streets of old Paris, ut tering seditious cries, on S a t ur d ay an d S un d ay r t•A t' night. Cries of c a bas Louis Philippe, a bas Gnizdt, we must have blood,' were heard. No otire\- force was emp7Aoyed against those people bat' the sergeants de vale, and by their aid aloife, the x.aob Avert, dispersed without a riot to place. 2,,tkublic oi)inion is evidently very uneasy, and r, 'ms's .~, a serious disturbance is by _many expected to take place this evening, but no doubt the police will be fully prepared, and consequently no serious ill consequences are feared.. " Count de ST. AULAIRE has been ordered to proceed to London immediately. . _ " The name of the assassin is PAPART. Madrid Bourse—Five per Cents., 251 for 9th and 19th current. The noblest actions are those for which men ought to expect no other reward than the testi mony of a good conscience. Whatever exceeds the every-day standard of patriotism or self denial is sure to be ridiculed as preposterous, or sneered at as hypocritical. A superficial observer of what passes in the world, would have supposed that the transcendant efforts made by England to put down the inhuman traffic in slaves would have obtained for her the gratitude of every Christian State on the face of the globe. In this measure she could have no self-interest. She was destroying a most lucrative branch of the traffic of her own merchants—she was unsettling the whole frame-work of society in her numerous and thriving colonies—she was placing in peril old vested interests—she wss crippling her own commerce by raising enemies among the African Princes, who sold their subjects into slavery — and she was expending large sums annually in the support of a fleet employed in the pro tection of the African race. Here, instead of the selfishness usually common to mercantile States is exhibited an excess of generous hu manity without a parallel in the history of na tions. And yet the part which we have taken and the immense expenses which we have in curred in the suppression of the slave-trade, has brought down upon us a load of odium greater than was ever visited upon a people accused of the blackest crimes. We have been vilified by the French, traduced by the Spaniards, scurri lously abused by the Portuguese, threatened by the people of the United States, and, last of all, stigmatised as tyrants and bullies by our old neigh bours and friends the Germans, for the excess of severity which we have felt it necessary to em ploy in the represssion of this infamous traffic. The recent seizure of two Harnhurgh vessels, the Louisa and the Echo, on suspicion of being en gaged in the slave-trade, is actually denounced in the Gazette of Upper Germany as a f' faithful picture of the indignities to which a powerless flag is exposed." From the very nature of the service in which the officers charged to suppress the slave-trade are engaged, it is to be expected that acts of oppression will occasionally take place ; but it is too bad to charge either the Government or the people of this country with defending, much less encou raging, them. If such acts are brought under the cognizance of our Courts of Law we can as sure the good citizens of Hamburgh that there will be found British Juries and British Judges prepared to give a just and impartial verdict against the wrong-doers. The Times, which yesterday called attention to this subject, inti mates that the soreness with regard to England is aggravated by Prussia, with a view to provoke the Hanse towns to join the German commercial league. We believe this is true enough. The following extract from the article in the Times will be gall and wormwood to those twin agri cultural Nestors in office, KNATCHBULL and BUCKINGHAM : The origin of a jealous feeling towards England in commercial matters is no doubt traceable to our so-called protecting duties, which formerly met our Continental neighbours in every branch of industry with which they sought to effect exchanges. Its growth, however, and recent acrimony are mainly attributable to the writings officially and semi-officially published during the last ten years. The Whig Ministry, unable to produce a satis factory plan for modifying the Corn-laws, created and nourished an agitation from abroad against them tvith oat taking the trouble to inquire what other results be sides the one desired might accrue from such a state of things. So the Times has yet the honesty to denounce our heavy import duties as "so called " protec tive, and to intimate that the Tories must modify t t lA that the Germans never sought a modification ofour Corn-laws. The Germans, like the Times itself before it ratted upon this very question, denounced the Corn-laws altogether as injurious to them, and ruinous to us. The Germans de- manded their abolition; and but for the Tories, now constrained to hear the odium of the praise of the Times, the late Ministry, backed by the starving millions in this country, would have abolished them, and thus inflicted a death-blow upon the commercial schemes of Prussia. How these Tories can have the face to glance at this question is to us among the most wonderful in stances of incredible impudence. We are glad to see that the borough of Man chester is to hold a meeting on Thursday next with a view of memorializing the QUEEN not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament till they have entered into a full consideration of the corn and provision laws. Manchester only does its duty, and its example, which, as the promoter of the Anti-bread-tax League has already been of commanding influence, will no doubt have many imitators. The people there do not move till they are compelled. The deep distress of the hand-loom weavers and others of the working class is already but too well known t' the public. At a great meeting held at Manchester on Wednesday, to hear Mr. CURTIS, the free-trade missionary from the United States, who has come hither to ex plain to us the advantages which we should de rive from a free trade in corn with the United States, Mr. COBDEN referred in the following language to the distress of the middle classes:— A good deal has been said, about the working class here and I like, in a popular meeting of this kind, to address the working class, for the majority always consists of them. But my opinion is, that there are two other classes in this district, who at the present moment are just as much entitled to sympathy as the poorest work ing men in the town. I speak of the middle class, and the upper class too. The middle class in this town, I venture to say, from my own experience, are suffering as much in mind, body, and estate, as any class in her Ma jesty's dominions. And well it is that it should be so ; well it is that the capitalist is suffering in a commen surate degree with the working-class, if but to teach us what we did not know two or three years ago, that society is but a series of links, and that you cannot in jure one but almost as quickly as electricity itself it per vades the whole chain.—(Hear, hear.) Yes, gentlemen, I believe you have had proofs yourselves that the misery and sufferings of this country are not now confined to the working class. I think I have seen, in the suspen sion of operations amongst the capitalists, and in the increase of bankruptcies, proofs enough that the disease has reached a little higher ; and this, I tell you candidly, is one of the symptoms which I rely upon as encouraging the belief that these laws, these monopolies, will not much longer be allowed to remain to the disgrace of our statute book, to ruin our capitalists, and to starve our operatives. —(Cheers.) If it be true, as we believeit is, that the middle c ta la li s s s t e s s ar a e re go bgi in e ,t n o n d in e g ca3 t ro, suffer that the ca that the upper classes are not thriving'', it is quite certain that the laws which cause their sufferings, and the Adminis tration which insists on preserving those laws, will be most seriously attacked, and ultimately destroyed. Laws are intended to promote the public welfare, and when they fail to do this, being of themselves evils—when they injure ()Teat masses of her M AJESTY'S subjects—they will no tbe long endured nor obeyed. The penal laws against the Catholics, on account of their injus tice, provoked the resistance of the people, and they were then abolished. But the Corn-laws are .o.ow regarded, both by friends and foes, as similar to the penal laws against the Catholics. At the above-mentioned meeting Mr. COBDEN said — You remember that, fur many years, some of the most eminent and most eloquent men in the country were pleading the cause Of the Catholics in the House of Com mons.' There was Grattan, who has been so immor talised by Byron, speaking for many years, almost with the voice of an angel, but he effected no conversions. But when O'Connell—(Loud cheers)—who was not al lowed to come into that House at all—and it was a great mistake to keep him outside--(Applause)—when he had got up his two or three millions of emancipators, then they passed the Emancipation Act, and without any con versions, mark you. They said, " We are same opinion, but we must pass this Bill." still of the —(Cheers.) And if you will only get a couple of millions too—and mind, you must 'have, what I do not think you will easily rind, as clever a leader as he was in those days— , then you will get the repeal of the Corn-laws from reel t` \• . THE StTN, LONDON,, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 141_1844. limself—(Loud cheering)—and Sir James Graham, and Gou!burn, and Knatchbull, and the rest, will all dance after him, saying, " Oh, we are of the same opinion, but we .must repeal these laws."—(Cheers.) I think many of you will have read, in Sir Walter Scott's novel of " Ivanhoe," the account of how the aristocrat of those days got poor Isaac, the rich Jew of York, into his dungeon, for the purpose of extorting the shekels from Isaac's purse. He threatened him with the slow fire, and other torments. The Jew begged and implored for mercy, in the name of religion and humanity ; but the aristocrat of those days, as of the present, was quite dead to such appeals, he was determined to have Isaac's shekels.—(Applause.) But in the midst of this aff'air, when he was just ready to place Isaac on the bars, he was stunned by a loud knock at the portals of his castle, and the Knight of the Black Mail, with a hundred fol lowers, assailed him in his stronghold. He instantly quitted his hold of poor Isaac to defend himself, and then he was beaten.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, you may depend upon it the aristocracy will never give up their hold of your shekels, till you assume such a position in the country, and knock at the stronghold in a way that cannbt be misunderstood.—(Loud cheers.) You need not go armed ; you will require no battle• axes, spears, swords, or shields ; you only need to be united in moral force, as our friend from America has said ; you have only to unite, and the moment you are all united, that moment the Corn-laws are repealed.—(Loud cheers.) The Standard, from a living conviction of the similarity of the laws for starving the labouring classes and the laws for degrading the Catholics, coupled the two together on Saturday, and told its readers that they " were to be haunted by corn and Catholics for the rest of their lives." Naturally enough, for men are generally haunted by the recollections of their evil deeds. Twelve years ago the Tories vainly endeavoured to lay the Catholic spectre, but the frightened fools in emancipating the Catholics by name and by Act of Parliament, continued to degrade them in fact;' and to exclude them from civil rights by a vicious administration of the laws. For twelve years, and even for twice twelve years, the injustice done to the Catholics by the Tories was the torment of that faction, and is now a source of doubt whether it will be able to retain possession of the Ministry. The Corn law will serve them in the same way, should they not abolish it, or by some mock or fictitious abolition, to attehipt to cheat the people into the belief that they have given them free trade and cheap bread, as they attempted to be guile the Catholics by a decree of emancipation which they took care should never be carried fitirly into execution. Catholic emancipation was achieved in spite of the Tories, and it is a happy augury of our success that both friends and foes now compare the unjust restriction on the supply of food, to that unjust restriction on the freedom of worship which the same tyrants who now curse us with a Corn-law were in 1829 compelled to abandon. But the language used by Mr. COBDEN at that meeting, greeted by enthusiastic cheering, was a still more favourable augury of the success of the rigteous cause. We have already informed our readers, and, as far as we could, have informed the public, including the obligarchy and the skilful tool they have placed at the head of the Ministry, that many persons had drawn a distinction between obedience to laws and obe dience to the will of a body of avowed monopolists and plunderers, and would set the latter at de fiance, though they endeavoured to clothe them- selves with the sanctity belonging to the former. Now let the reader, and particularly let the aristo- cracy, mark and deliberate well on the language used by Mr. COBDEN : But now comes the grand admissid* which his Grace has made. What does it all amount to but this—that we, the landed oligarchy, have the power both of the Crown and the people in our hands.(Cheers.) We, poor ignorant people, thought that when the late Parlia ment was dissolved, and the Queen made an appeal, it was to the people,--(Cheers.) But it appears that it was nothing of the sort. The Duke of Richmond has dis closed the secret, and it seems that it was merely an appeal from the Queen, or the executive, to the landlord oligarchy ; and they have decided, naturally enough, in their own favour.—(Cheers.) _Now, the principle in volved in this admission just amounts to this, that the landed aristocracy claim the right of controlling the Crown, and trampling upon the people.—(Applause.) The principle of that declaration, thus openly avowed, if carried out in practice, amounts to a practical usurpa tion, and a virtual revolution.—(Loud cheers.) I do not know how you may stand in this matter, but when I went into the Rouse of Commons, I took a certain oath of alien-lance—allegiance to whom ?—(Applause.) To a (Cheers.) N o —I li t s o ts t . h — e Queen, and I owe- ntitillegiatfee to any other autno ,— rity.—(Cheers.) And, more than that, I say, let it be shown, let it be put in practice, let that usurpation which is implied in the Duke of Richmond's declaration be car ried into effect, let me see it, let it be tangible, and I will yield to such usurpation only by force.—(Loud cheers.) I will pay no taxes—l will render no services unless they are exacted from me by force ; and I would suffer martyrdom itself before I would submit to the des potism of the proudest, but the meanest and most sordid oligarchy that the world ever saw.—(Loud and prolonged cheers.) Well done Mr. COBDEN, speaking out in that bold and manly way will soon bring the question to a decision, and bring the sordid oligarchy on its knees to the outraged people for forbearance and mercy. Power, beneficially exercised, ex cites no inquiries into its origin ; but power, exercised to enrich itself at the expense of starving the people, provokes such inquiries. Can the oligarchy bear the investigation ? Can it show its patent ? Dare it bring before the public the deeds signed and sealed by which it has authority to pass a Corn-law ? Is it not aware that its power depends altogether on rotten prescription ? Does it remember that this prescription was interrupted, and shown to be rotten, in 183.2 ? Can it forget that the Consti titution of the House of Commons, as it at pre sent exists, by which the oligarchy is enabled to trample both on the QUEEN and the people, was the child of popular commotion, and that the same people who were beguiled in 183.2 to pro mote a reform, which has turned out worse than valueless to them, can, whenever they choose to arise in their might, achieve a still greater reform, by. which the most sordid oligarchy the world ever saw may be hurled into that nothingness it so richly de serves ? Political power is correlative. It is measured by obedience ; and when obedience is refused, power is at an end. It is plain, from the language used by Mr. COBDEN, and the en thusiastic cheers it met with, that the oligarchy has disgusted the people by its rapacity, and that the day of the extinction of their obedience and of its power, unless it act wisely and beneficently, cannot be far off. The French Journals. of Sunday have all reached us. Much of their contents was antici pated in our afternoon Edition of yesterday. M. ROTHSCHILD baS returned to Paris, and it is sup posed that the French Minister of Finance will be obliged to accept his offer of 75 per cent. for one-half of the loan of 450 millions of francs at three per cent., which the Chambers authorised him to contract. The credit of such a country as France ought to be better than that of a pri vate individual, and it is deplorable to find it thus fixed according to the estimate of a money lender. The following is the official account of the evacu ation of the Island Del Rey (Minorca), of which so much has appeared in the Journals. We quote it from the columns of the Moniteua : " Several of the journals have published inaccurate statements of the circumstances relating to the resolution taken by the King's Government to evacuate the small island Del Rey, in the Balearic Islands. The following is the true account : " During several years the French Government occu pied that island in virtue of temporary leases which were successively renewed by the Cabinet of Madrid, and had established in it a depot of coals, for the supply of the steamers, and en hospital for the invalids of the army of Africa. The lease, concluded in 1839, was to expire on the 3d instant, Nevertheless, no explanation had as yet taken place on the subject between the two Govern ments, when, towards the close of July a despatch from the Consul of France in the Balearic Islands informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that the Governor of Minorca had received an order from Madrid to come to an understanding with the French Vice-Consul for the evacuation of the island. " The Minister for - Foreign Affairs, who had reason to be surprised at receiving through this indirect me dium the notification of the intentions of the Cabinet of Madrid, expressed viva voce to the Charge d'Affaires of Spain the astonishment which he felt at such a proceed ing. In reply to those observations, which M. Hernan dez hastened to transmit to his Government, the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs of her Catholic Majesty, M. Gon zales, authorized that Charge d'Affaires to communicate to the French Government a despatch, in which he for mally disclaimed all knowledge of the notification made to the Vice-Consul at Mahon, and assuring him that no such order had been sent from Madrid; that the Spanish Government had, it was true, deliberated upon the expe diency of renewing the lease, and also whether the wants of . the Spanish m ilit ar y se rvice in the Bal ear i c Mends might not require the evacuation of the hospital on the Islabel Del Rey, at a more or less proximate period ; but that nothing had yet been decided on the subject, and that, in all cases, the Regency would afford every facility, and treat' with all possible regard the invalids which France might leave in the island. In an other letter, equally communicated by M. Hernandez, M. Gonzales, reverting to the step, for which he could not account, taken by the Governor of Mahon, an nounced that an inquiry was about to be instituted, in order to arrive at the source of this strange incident, and, if necessary, to punish the guilty. Shortly afterwards the same Minister verbally gave the same explanation to the Charge d'Affaires of France in Spain, and even added, That if the Government of the King still wanted the island for its present use, the Go vernment of her Catholic Majesty was disposed to re new the lease, and thereby to testify its gratitude for the services which it had received, and still continued to re ' ceive, from France. " The Government of the King had, however, already determined that the' renewal of the lease should not be called for, and that the hospital be given up within a certain period. The Charge d'Affaires of France offi cially apprised the Cabinet of Madrid of this resolution." Commercial distress is very general through out France. Among the latest failures is that Quf M. GERVAIS, a Member of the Chamber of De puties. The number of his creditors exceeds six hundred, and it is supposed that they will not get above 25 per cent. in liquidation of their , demands. A quantity of arms and some political pam phlets were seized in Paris by the police in the course of last week. These affairs are conducted with none of the noise which at first distin guished them. The Government is grown wiser than when it proclaimed to the world every in stance which it could either collect or fabricate of popular disaffection. The Moniteur of Sunday contains full de tails of the unfortunate disturbance which took place at Macon on the 9th inst., and which we announced yesterday. The following account of the affair is taken from the Moniteur : Serious disorders, but without any political character, have broken out at Macon. For some time a certain number of parties have pretended to the exclusive right of doing the work of the port, and of admitting into their body only those whom they pleased. Commercial people complained of this, and of the high prices imposed on them in consequence. The coopers of Macon, called brocs, encouraged by the drivers of carts and boat men, resolved to have a share in loading and un loading wine casks from the boats. An order of the Mayor, dated October, 1833, approved by the Minister, ordered that persons recognised to be well behaved. should be permitted by the Mayor to take part in the work of the port. A register was kept, and medals delivered to the porters-. entitled to work as such. Six teen coopers demanded medals and permission, and there was no reason for refusing them. The old porters de termined to prevent these coopers from working. On tin Bth they formed groups, and uttered menaces. The authorities took precautions. On the 9th, beside the. National Guard, one hundred soldiers were posted in the Hotel de Ville, and reinforced afterwards by one hundred more. The Bens d'armerie was alsonear. The Co lonels of the National Guard and of the line attended. The parters were summoned, and the Mayor explained to them how wrong theirpretensions were, and how contrary to the laws. The porters hearkened to these arguments, and a! last consented to share the work of loading and un loading boats with those newly inscribed. The Mayor', adjoint and the officers repaired to the port, it being about eight o'clock in the morning, to see the worl, begun peaceably, and it was about to do so when tilt wives of the poi tern, in number about twenty, raised a clamour, and declared they would not let the cooper; wo:..k. The porters joined themvociferation and vio lence increased, especially against the guard of the port. The Mayor ordered 60 soldiers out, and soon 100 more. and several endeavours were made to clear the port. Tht drums were then beaten, and the crowd summoned to dis perse. But the porters said they would die first, ere they would yield or let the coopers work. The more sum monses were made, the Mayor and officers endeavouring to persuade the crowd ; but the most violent flung them selves on the ground and refused to move. A little be fore some of them attacked the guard of the port, Tref fier, one of the assailants, being armed with a knife, ann it was with diiiculty he was rescued. A fifth summon was then made by the Mayor and adjoints, with theil scarfs on, and the people were told that the soldiers woulc be ordered to clear the port with the bayonet. When they proceeded to do this, the porters, armed with larg. pieces of wood taken from the boats, attacked the sol diers of the 44th, who were in front, one of them striking a woman who was before him on the bead and her dead. A pistol, too, was fired from the crowd. Tin troops then loaded and fired. Two of the porters wert shot, and the rest dispersed, and the soldiers afterward: withdrew. Some stones were flung, one of which struclt Colonel Piot, of the National Guard, on the head and wounded him. Tranquillity is restored.

The lndicateur de Bordeaux has the following lette! from Bans :—" When the Prefect and the Attorney- General arrived at Bazas order was restored. A barn cade had been erected on the preceding day, but wa, immediately demolished by the gendarmerie. On tilt following day some provocations were addressed to tht Commander of the detachments that had come fron, Bordeaux ; thanks to the moderation of the troops, tht events that have taken place have not had any more fa tal consequences." The Moniteur says that the troops will remain at Bazas till the census is completed. Some persons have been arrested.--Le Constitutionrat According to a letter from St. Jean Pied-de-Port the Gth instant, published in the Sentinelle des Pyrenne, of the 9th, the inhabitants of Orbaycette, in the Spanisl. territory, have just made a general razzia against tht French flocks on lands, the property in which is much less disputable than that in the lands on the frontiers o' the Aldudes. It is said they have extended their plun dering incursion even to the first French houses of tht village of Esterin-Guibel.--Le Commerce. A few days ago two thieves were arrested on the root of a house in the Rue St. Martin, as they were trying to get in at the garret window. The circumstance caused some excitement in the neighbourhood, and in particula! so affected the mind of an old lady, that she constantly fancied that thieves . were entering her apartment, and two nights since, under the impression that they wert breaking in, she rushed, in a moment of insanity, to her window, and having opened it threw herself into the street, and was killed on the spot. Madrid Journals of the sth inst. have reached us. The Government is about to contract two fresh loans; one of forty-five millions of real: on the salt monopoly, and another of seventeen millions of reals on the Stamp duties. The law for the annexation of the Church property to the State domain is loudly condemned by several of the Journals. If it be divided, however, into small lots, and sold to a number of poor pro prietors, it will soon become a very popular mea sure. Every occupier of Church property will rally round the Gwerntner.t. In doing so he will be compelled to inquire into the origin of the ecclesiastical tenure. This will do more to promote a reform in religion than a thousand acts of the Legislature. Among the curious rumours circulated in Madrid, is one of the discovery of a plot to carry off the young QUEEN into France, of which the EX-REGENT was stated to be cognizant. We trust, for the sake of the QUEEN herself, that no such plot will ever be put in execution, lest Spain should make the discovery that she could do without her Monarch, now that she has got rid of the old institutions characteris tic of monarchy. The young QUEEN'S friends had better leave her where she is. A better guardian she cannot have than ARGUELLES ; a worse one is not to be found than the wife of MuNoz, who now makes such a noise in France. Some people do not know when themselves and their friends are well enough. The ex-Regent is of the number if she seek to remove her august daughter from the protection of her best friends. Fifty-eight alcades, out of sixty alcades, composing the town of Saragossa, have resigned their functions on account of one of the first Judges ordering the release of two criminals, at whose bands the alcades fear assas sination. a lv t i h rt e ue Lo o e f dicitkisoltihteo A th la e d f r u id ero :vernment in its late decrees, issued and ordered the Basque Provinces to supply their quota u i l n i til)ias.ases : eri t to : u. 6 ese C iii ; rtes, had imposed taxes, .of men for the army, which decrees are in direct contra al collision, is anticipated is t tee c r e s i t l a tr u a d l int, x i e t c • nuotitvae dependent Pr ess doubt . - -- TRICKS OF TH E T ORY • JUDGES. — The Canibridge In- Lord Lieutena nt of the county of Huntingd on, has re signed, and that the Earl of Sandwint has been announces that the Duke of Manches t e r there will, no appointed in hi s stead.

With all due respect to those learned men, we are of opinion that this is a most depraved ambition, and that their conduct deserves the severest reprobation. " n E EwS Pit :AI AND Vtil) OptiliOn. " Who runs may read." FOR:ZIG-N. The President of the United States has rejected the Bank-Bill passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is stretching the prerogative of the Supreme Power in the State to an extent which would be dangerous in England. No British Sovereign would incur the odium of vetoing so popular a measure. An attempt was made yesterday, by a man named Papart, to assassinate one of the sons of the King of the French. Thank God the Princes escaped. Serious disturbances have taken place at Clermont, in Auverge, in opposition to the taking of the Census. The people fired upon the soldiers, 17 of whom they killed or wounded. . . ..... Cries of " Down with Louis Philippe—down with Gtiizot !" were heard in several districts of Paris on Sunday night. Another revolutionary attempt was readCtl. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times, aware of the mischief which Tory writers and a Tory Lord Chancellor have done to their cause in Ireland, is now on a new tack. The following specimen from Ithis versatile journal shows which way the wind blows :—" Apart from the misrepresentations of two servile London prints, which, we know, can produce sufficient titles for their still continuing to be the vehicles of Whig calumny, the conviction that Sir Robert Peel will govern Ireland in such a spirit of impartial and evenhanded justice as bids fair to paralyze party rancour without disparaging the just rights of any portion of the community, is very universally entertained even in circles not otherwise favourable to a Conservative Ministry.- The vile figment. that Sir Robert's Irish Administration will adopt a system of unprincipled sycophancy towards the Orangemen, and place the Roman Catholic millions under . a rampant military despotism, is as thoroughly scouted in every intelligent quarter, as the opposite fiction that the Right Hon. Baronet will seek to propitiate the Romanists by unworthy conciliations, and will treat the Protestants with supercilious neglect. Stuff like this is believed by nubody. Even the most heated partisans on both sides are ashamed to identify them selves with such, a suspicion in either of its extremes. O'Connell himself can hardly muster face for it ; and we are quite sure that the must devoted followers of Sir Harcourt Lees, who in his day was certainly no very moderate symbol of Protestantism, do really reject it with as much contempt as they now feel for the stupid and senseless commemorations of the Boyne engagement, or the nursery bugbear of the Gunpowder Plot. Nay, the idea that the new Ministry—(known as they are to be irreconcileably hostile to repeal, and • determined to maintain the Irish Protestant church as firmly and inoffensively as possible)- , -will exercise any other favouritism than that strictly fair and consti tutional sort which, wholly irrespective of religious opi nion, they are solemnly sworn to extend to the friends of British connexion in preference to its foes, is beginning to be derided by the Roman Catholic priesthood them ;elves. The symptoms of this are highly encouraging. According to the best authenticated accounts, O'Connell's ? resent efforts to spread the flames of repeal for the visionary purpose of consuming the Conservative Go vernment are, for the most part, an egregious failure. Hig .;ombustious projectiles, though scattered far and near, ieem to light among the people like balls of damp wadding. Romish clergy have, in many places, shown them ;elves to be very cool Repealers after all. Long-cherished ?rejudices, how unreasonable soever, cannot be got rid of :n a fa w days. For our part, we believe those prejudices to xtst in a much less degree than is commonly repre sented; yet admitting that we under calculate their strength, we feel confident that when the Irish people of all creeds find themselves ruled by an honest Govern aent, determined that Ephraim shall have no just occa don to envy Judah ' nor Judah to vex Ephraim,—a de termination, the reality and advantage of which they will soon appreciate,—the party animosities which have so long distracted and impoverished them, will, at no very listant period, be superseded by a better state of things. The Chronicle, on the supposition that Parliament may 'ae prorogued without a full consideration of the Corn and provision laws, makes the following remarks :—For this specific object wag the present Parliament called. [t has chosen to indulge in a party diversion. The con dition of the people and the recommendation of the So ,Treign have been postponed to the settlement of those :laims upon place and power which are the great objects if factious combination. But the partizanship which seizes the first opportunity for itself, need not deny any opportunity to the people. It has done its own .vork. The prize is in its pocket. The physician has 'tis fee. Is it honest, now, to withhold the prescrip tion ? However selfish, low-minded, and antt-patrio ic, the previous conditions might be, they have all been complied with. Office was desired, and office has been bestowed. The Whigs, it was urged, must be busted before anything can be done, and the Whigs are busted. What more would they have ? A five months' toliday before one night's attention is bestowed upon the multitudes whose means of daily subsistence are in peril. 'We really think that is rather too much. But they can sake it, and probably they will take it, if there be no in terposition. We are under an authority that care¢- lsmo--n,—reason or cretency as it. the people. i'he landlord's majority, with its pliant leader in the 2ornmons ' its Buckingham and Knatchbull in the Ca binet, and its Richmond over the Cabinet, has made its lemonstration, achieved its position, exalted the prero 4.ative of King Rent over that of Queen Victoria, Ind is now disposed to take to the fields and preserves 'or recreation. The exhibition will be more gross Ind disgusting than any similar procedure by which a cation has ever been insulted, but it is not the less iikely. It may be expected, unless timely means of 2outneraction be adopted. The Royal prerogative can :iokl Parliament together, and may do so with the ;reatest propriety for the purpose stated in the Man- Alester memorial. The interference is only a negative one. Parliament cannot prorogue itself. It only rises Jy the fiat of the Sovereign. And what better reasons ;in there be for withholding that than the distresses and apprehensions of millions, coupled with the fact that no Attention whatever has yet been paid to the measures for considering which this Parliament was convoked by the Sovereign ? Let the people, then, become her Majesty's advisers. The Morning Herald, descanting on the same subject, thus contemptuously treats the sufferings of a starving population :—" The Manchester League is now fairly .iinbarked in a most factious career of opposition to Sir dobert Peel's Administration ; but happily its virulence cad extreme hostility will neutralise its mischievous ob ject, and disgust all but those whose support could only injure any cause to which they might attach themselves. . The latest device of this opposition is a requisition to the ilayor of Manchester, requesting that authority " to :all a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough, ,or the purpose of considering the present distressed state of the population. The Mayor has accordingly appointed Thursday for an assemblage of the idle, the discontented, the violent, and the un mtployed portion of the population over which he presides, and on that day doubtless the usual twaddle of the League will be emitted, and accompanied Jy big words, loud and unmeaning threats, much gesti- Julation, and " shouts of applause." But will the wealth, the respectability, the moderation, and the education of the great cotton metropolis be. there assembled ? We venture to predict they will not ; they will be pursuing their ordinary avocations in their warehouses, their counting- houses, and their shops ; whatever may be . their opinions on free trade or th e C orn -l aws, t h ey w ill :lave too much respect for themselves to march through Joventry with the League. They too highly appreciate the value of peace and quietness to aid in again convert ing Manchester into an arena for the gladiatorial exhi .litions of mischievous agitators. The Post takes the same erroneous view of the object of the meeting, but at the same time does it with some more regard to propriety and common sense. "It ap pears," says that Journal, " that a small proportion of the inhabitants of Manchester, namely, between five and six hundred, have sent a requisition to the Mayor of the town for the holding of a political meeting the day after to-morrow. The object of this meeting is stated to be to take into consideration the distressed state of the town and neighbourhood, and the expediency of petitioning the Queen that the Parliament may not be prorogued .intil a full discussion has been had of the Corn and. Provision-laws'—laws which, in the opinion of the re quisitionists, are the main cause of the prevailing distress. We have no doubt that the Government will give ,ts anxious and sympathizing attention to whatever Authentic representations may be made of the distress of the people in Manchester or elsewhere. The Govern ment will probably he very well disposed to do all that can be done in co-operation with such really benevolent individuals as may be disposed to do something practical for the relief of the existing distress. But we do not think the opinion of the requisitionists as to the cause of the distress is likely to make such impression upon the Government, or upon any one of good sense and sound discretion. This declaration of opinion is a mere party matter, having about as much to do with sound judgment, founded upon a careful consideration of well-ascertained ilicts, as the declaration of Mr. Cobden has to do with modesty, correctness, and propriety. The Morning Advertiser alludes to the painful state of the labouring classes at Stockport, and the - expected. turnout of factory hands on the part of two or three large manufacturing establishments, in consequence of the anticipated reduction of prices —a reduction to ac tually one-half of their present miserable pittance of nine or . ten shillings a week. The source of this evil exists, says the Advertiser, in the present redundancy of population. Strength, vigour, and skill, are by this cause rendered valueless. The evil, too, will spread, and not stop. Rapid extension of machinery will create a greater superabundance still, and this, therefore, is the malady which State -doctors must first of all reach, and expel, if the public constitution is to hope for anything. like restoration to health.

MAW AND POLICE. George Heath, not long since a master bricklayer, employing many lianas, was yesterday brought up at Worship-street, charged with stealing twenty-one plates, engraved with religious music. The prisoner appeared before the Court last Thursday, but was then liberated, the plates not being traced to him, and his respectability being in his favour. On Saturday, however, a marine store dealer to whom he had sold the plates, received a letter from him, begging him to destroy them, as lie had taken them, urged by deep distress ; the letter was now delivered to the Magistrate. The prisoner was com mitted to Newgate for trial. James Mattall, a boy 12 years of age, and of de plorable appearance, appeared on a charge of begging. His mother stated in his defence, that she, her blind husband, and four children, lately arrived from Glas gow, were penniless and starving, and the boy went out to procure the slightest help. One child of the four had died but yesterday, and, according to her statement, the police found the poor blind man sitting over the dead body. The Magistrate gave her some silver, and desired her to call again in a few clays. LIIMMOUT AND scxELTTxrxc. M.

From the New York Express of the 20th. Washington is the great point of attraction, and the proceedings in Congress are looked to with intense inte rest. The partial defeat of the Bankrupt Bill was re ceived by a 19.rge body of the citizens with deep regret. . A letter published in the same paper states that the Whigs have bad a conference, and are disposed to effect the passage of the Land, the Bankrupt, the Revenue, and possibly a Bank Bill. The feeling in New York is that the leading measures of the Session ought to be adopted notwithstanding the veto. The extra Session was called to pass the above-named measures, together with the re peal of the Sub-Treasury and the Loan Bill. The two latter are completed, and if any, or all the former should be carried, the object of the special Session will be ob tained. The trade of the present season opened with a much better feeling than the previous two or three years, and had the Bank Bill have passed, there would have been a great deal more confidence, and would have inspired both sellers and pur c h asers t o have extended their operations. The Veto Message will undoubtedly have a good deal of influence to check the fall trade. M'LEOD.—The term of the Court at which M'Leod is to be tried, commences at Utica, on the 27th September.

STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.
