The overland mail from India, announced in our impression of yesterday to have arrived on the 28th at Marseilles, reached us this morning by extraordinary expre.s. The intelli g ence thereby brought from the three Presidencies of Bomhay,Ma dras, and Bengal dates respectively, to the 22d and the 10th of May. Sir Gordon Bremer was stil at Calcutta on the Bth of May, but he was compelled to leave for China, in the Queen steamer, the moment the reinforcements sent out to him reached India. The Madagascar steamer was also to accompany him. Coals were required for the engines, and soma apprehension as to the means of getting them existed. The latest intelligence fro& the north western provinces is dated April 17, and it states the country around Candahar to be still in a very dis turbed state ; a force was to be quartered at Kelat-i-Ghiljee, consisting of two infantry vgirnents, 300 horse, and 2 guns. Major Todd had been sent back to his regiment, for having quitted his post at Herat, whereby much embarrassment had been .occasioned to the Government. During the last week of May, however, the heat set in itith all the fervour of July—Levaporation was intense, and the crops received a check, for the high temperattite was unseasonable. The atmosphere was: atirCharged xttli electricity, and this was strikingly revealed on the 27411 ; subsequent to which, the heat declined, and the second week of June • became gloomy, coaas March,.with a cutting east wind, which was pro.ductive.of a still furthercheck. Had this cool, parching season, occurred in place of the great heat of May, everything would have been propitious; but con trasts and drawbacks have-ever existed. The crops were a month in advance of 1840,• till the drought and conse quent burning heat occurred ; as it was, we saw the first flower of the wheat on the Ist of June ;the plant iws gone on trogressing gradually,'but'without interruption or injurious casualty that we .have observed, but the cold week of June barred every appioach to rapidig. Iv Hence, we presume that are now about one fortni t• • earlier than in the three or four.past years. • •• In proof of the great degree of cold on the nights' of „ Juneol4th and 16th, were inifermAl that .the potti tdts had- been touched by' frqst, near Ilertfbrd 1 , anti w certainly saw,-in the low , valleys close to the Lea, a held. or two, where the summits ot the pldatt, just •below • tht first. or second joint, were seared to a reddish brown. • Airing a month, .exceedingly dry weather prevailed, and the Itlarin cry was abroatl.

The fort of Kairrwa was in the possession of Capt. Minto's force on the morning of the 4th instant. Kairrwa is situated about twelve miles east of Nurwur. It belon g ed to a noted freebooter, who, for a long time past, lived off plunder taken from villages belonging to Scindia. A Bombay letter of 22, expresses much anxiety at the non-arrival there of Admiral Parker, who was expected out to take the command vacated by Admiral Elliot. The apathy of the Home Goverrimtnt with respect to the Chinese rupture, and the prosecution of the war there had given rise to serious fears that the Melbourne Ministry. had gone to sleep again, thinking the Chinamen,*eie not disposed to go on ; theyr ill 'fiMit4SAIiALI4OP!.OII7- ' i' • 1 , • DOWN TRAINS LEASE PADDINGTON STATION, FOR itID GEWATER.

A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol lowing option; at the age of 65 Annuity for remainder of life... .........

BENE VOLENT FIRE and LIFE IN SURANCE, and NATIONAL BENEFIT SO CIETY, 351, Strand. Capital, 250,0001. Under the Management of a Board of Directors. This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto confined to the more wea_thy, viz.:- Ist. Insuring their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Wees.y Allowances duOng Sickness ; and Endowments for Children, the Premiums I.%eing divided into Monthly Instalments for the convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such as possess only a sl tall personal property, Insurances are effected against loss by Fir r, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly Payments ; thus I.l.ousehold Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock in Trade, WorkmerCs Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be Insured, on paymei at of Sixpence every Three Months, duty included. The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will henceforth deserver little sympathy should he become the victim of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily have guarded. Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351, Strand. or to any of •the Society's Agents. lIENI I.Y WILSON, Actuary and Secretary.

The.following is the proclamation issued by the Joint Im perial Commissioner concerning the opening of the trade. It must be received with much qualification, for Captain Elliot's demands were not as stated. There was no intention of re moving the ships of war from Canton : PROCLAMATION from the Joint Commissioner Yang and the Acting Governor E, calling on the People to Resume Commercial Intercourse, March 20. " Yang, Joint Imperial Commissioner, Noble of the Second Order, &c., and E, Acting Govbrnor of the Two Kang, &c., hereby issue proclamation to carry on commercial intercourse as usual, and peacefully to pursue ordinary avocations. " Whereas, upon the 19th of the present month, the English Plenipotentiary officially represented that it was his desire to maintain peace, and he demanded nothing else, but only immediate permission for the trade to be carried on as usual. " And whereas the commercial intercourse enjoyed by va rious countries is owing to the good pleasure of the Celestial Court that all should cherish tenderly men from afar. " Therefore, the English Plenipotentiary having so repre sented that he demands nothing else but trade only, and the merchant ships of America having, in consequence of the war, suffered detention, so that their cargoes remain unsold, and there is no prospect of returning homeward, a change cannot but be made commensurably to these circumstances permitting them alike to trade, and thus displaying a compassionate regard. " While the facts will be duly represented to the Throne, they proceed to issue these special commands for the infor mation of all. For this, then, it is proclaimed to all the tradesfolk, soldiery, and people in general, for their full infor mation, that henceforward the merchants of all nations are alike permitted to repair to Whampoa and trade, and you will hold intercourse with them, and pass to and fro, as usual ; and there shall be no hindrance or obstruction made, nor any trouble created. After the English vessels of war shall be withdrawn, it will yet more be right and seeming to protect, and carefully to look to and well treat, the merchant vessels at Whampoa, and the merchants dwelling at Canton. Let every one tremblingly obey. Oppose not this special proclamation. " Taoukwang, 21st Zaar, 2d month, 28th day, 20th March, 1841. (True Translation.) _ " J. ROBT.

The mere reports are that the English ships of war have re moved below the city of Canton about a mile and a half ; that the British flag was hauled down in Canton on the evening of the 26th instant, the guard removed, and the flag has never since been hoisted. The further demands of the local Govern ment now are, that all the English ships of war are to leave the river, the fort and island of North Wangtung to be evacuated and surrendered to the Chinese, before any trade as usual can be recommenced. _lf these demands are complied with, the next that will be pressed upon her Majesty's Plenipotentiary will Probably'be, to rebuild the Bogue forts at English cost, and on the latest and most improved scientific principles of defence and offence. Will not his Excellency's magnanimity grant such reasonable and modest demands? -- More troops are daily arriving in Canton, but we know no thins of Yihslian's movemoras.or intentions, if he.,is *lee(' in Canton,. It was rumoured 'on Saturday thst he had annulled Yang's proclamation for renewing the trade with the English. . About 15 ships are now supcved to be at Whampoa t the treatment experienced by the English and United States vessel, un ier the renewed usual trade, will probably furnish matter for remark next week or before. The two officers of the Blenheim, Messrs. Bligh and Toole, and Mr. Field, late chief mate of the Snipe, who, when their boat was fouled by some Chinese boats on Thursday last, jumped on board one of the Chinese boats, are said to have been delivered up to the local auth,oritied. Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary had offered a reward of $5OO for their delivery. The Chinese Ggvernment offered a reward for the seizure of English officers.

On the 12th a Council Extraordinary was held at the Porte, attended by none but the highest. functionaries. Their delibe rations are said to have been,relative to certain branches of in ternal administration. The Porte is said to have received, from Nice and the dis tricts lately disturbed; intelligence of a satisfactory nature. Yacoub Pa-ba, the Governor of Adri.;.nople, had arrived at Sopha, with two regiments of flat line and about 6,000 irregu lars. Hufzi Pacha, the Governor pf ljskap, had reached with 12,°°° men H ussein Pacita , Governo r of Vidin, with 3,000; and although this congrogatedf - force was by no means requi site, inasmuch as all opposition o.i the part of the rebels has ceased, still its appearance will have a salutary effect. The Ottoman steamer Peiki Shevket arrived here on the 10th, from Candia, bearing despatches from Taiiir Pacha. Nothing very decisive appedrs to hava taken place there. Th,.i plains were .cleared of insurgents as s..m as the Turkish troops under Mustapha Pacha advanced aga inst them. The Turks have already 7,000 troqs'there, and the steamer Esseri Hayir had been sent to fetch Albanians, who being accustomed to mountain warfare, are just calculated for such service. We last week, on the faith of certain private letters,-stated that affairs had been quite settled in Persia; but it would now appear that the w r it ers of th o se‘letters had placed too high afi estimate on the value of Persiin promises. it is true that the Shah had engaged to arrange ivery thing to the entire satis faction of Great Britain, anditad even . sent an .order to'the Governor of Korassan to deli , * up Ghorian to the Herattis according to agreement ; but-the Governor 'was already pre ; pared how to act, and evat4! - L I• . ,ti exeaution ofthe measure, whihtYar M ohm rued At ti."!.: * ?Stml s!Quas. 3 lklais rel Who gaihed-the ear of the .weak perjured Shalt, and succeeded in persuading him that the English were excessively feeble in Afghanistan, which was ready to rise upon 'and exterminate them. The Shah, on the strength of this, refused to give up Ghorian, and it appears by no means improbable that he may be induced to accept the protectorate of Herat, which he had previously rejected, with a view of conciliating the good will of England. Dr. Riach has therefore alj his work to do over again, and we understand he is now on his way back to Tehran. JUNE 17. THE CANDIOTE INSURRECTION. Letters from Syria bring news of the success of the Candians over the Turkish troops. It is said that three engagements hai;e taken place, in two of which the loss on either side was small, but in the third, when Mustapha Pacha commanded the Sultan's troops, the latter were signally defeated with a loss of 400 men. Tahir Pacha continues to occupy Suda and its for tress, closely watched by the insurgents, who are 15,000 strong, but a few villages in the vicinity of the town sub mitted. The sum of 2,500 drachmas was subscribed by Greeks in Syra, a large amount has also been sent from the Morea to support the Candians, and they have also many friends here among their co- religionists, by whom con siderable sums are now making up for them. A Turkish steamer arrived in the last week from Candia, giving news of the success with which Tahir Pacha had met. At the same time, the Pacha, it is said, expressed his wish for an immediate addition to his force, as he had been greatly disappointed regarding the actual strength of the Candians. A council was held at Tophanah, where the Sultan assisted, and it is generally believed that the condition of Candia was its subject. Mehemet Ali Paella, chief of the Artillery, was ordered to depart for that island with four vessels of war and 5,000 soldiers. The Candians are greatly enraged against a certain M. Caporal, who was sent here by Mustapha Pacha, to represent the condition of the island. lie brought with him a petition bearing the names of a goodly number of the islanders, expressive of their submission to the Sultan, which names are now said to haVe been forged by the said Caporal. The letters alluded to above mention that the Candians are in good spirits and have great hopes of throwing off the Turkish yoke. Four fire-ships had left Syra for the Candian coast, and were hourly expected. Tahir Pacha hav ing heard of them, had called all his vessels into the harbour of Suds. Notwithstanding the unfavourable answers of the Consuls in Candia, the insurgents were yet in hopes of meriting the sympathy of foreign Powers in their favour, which, in fact, is their only true prospect of success. There is no recent news of importance from Bulgaria. The Porte is endeavouring to smother up that affair as expeditiously as practicable. Three millions of piastres have been sent there, wherewith to purchase and ransom the peasagts carried off ito slavery by the Arnauts. It is said that several females have been brought to this capital and sold as slaves to tins Turks, notwithstanding the endeavours of the Porte to pre vent it. . Since the departure of the Russian steamer with the new firman for the Pacha..of Egypt, his case seems to remain in statu qua. The new Russian Consul, Mr. Cramer, on his way to Alexandria, is still here ; the Austrian Consul-General is also here, and the new English Consul-General is expected, via Vienna, and all will depart for Alexandria so soon as the Ft reign-offiCe givee.he order to do so. On the Bth 4 instamt a Turkish brig from Alexandria arrived here, with some sixty passengers on boar* fotiteeen of whom were sick of the plague, and six of whom have singe died. The. passengers were all disembarked .at the --140444:11*012.4e,..)..rietntLitrotrtst - O] vessel bas;been selit t04r0.,144..;4T of Prtti, In tLe Sex •of Marmora, and the chief of the quarantine has taken every possible precaution to prevent the contagion extending to the City. The better-informed class q f Turks are as much alarmed by this visit of their old enemy as the Franks, and those among them who a few years ago regarded quarantine regulations with contempt, now look to them for preservation from the plague. SMYRNA, JUNE 19. We have no local news of the slightest interest to communi cate. Captain Arbuthnot, at:ached to the mission at Beyrout, after having executed some p r i va te business with which he was - charged, returned to Syria yesterday by the Count Ka lo wratt. Her British Majesty's corvette Dido, Captain Davies, quitted our roads on Saturday last, on a special mission to Salonica. • ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 19. Since nay last letter per Fi ench steamer, nothing of im portance has occurred. Admiral Sir William Parker and Sir Henry Pottinger arrived by the Liverpqe, and proceeded im mediately to Suez. The I n di a passengers only arrived yester day morning. The number of plague cases the last three days, has been 15, 12, and 13 respectively. SUDA, 11-23 MAY. A Turkish steamer was despatched on the 6th to Prevesa with orders to embark 3,000 Albanian troops immediately. We learn that the blockade is not observed very rigorously, and that arms, ammunition, and provisions, constantly find their way to the enemy's camp. The insurgents do not increase in number, and a great many of the villages, fearing the consequences of an engagement have submitted. The Vesuvius has been relieved by the Tyne frigate. The Acheron re-sailed for Toulon the day after her arrival. The French cortette Cornalie is at Suda. A British line-of-battle &dip is daily expected. The Talbot is named. In Lancashire, where premiums are given for large gooseberries, they suffer only two or three to remain on each branch ; and then, by shpporting a saucer under each of these, bathe them for some weeks in so much water as to cover about a fourth part of each gooseberry, which they call appro priately, though not most elegantly, " suckling the goose berry. " On Friday evening," says the Journal de la Belgique, "a young man of 20, and a female ofl7, after passing sonic time in a public-house at Forest, near Brussels, where they are supposed to have mixed poison in two glasses of water which they drank, proceeded to the river Senne, and threw themselves in. The young man, however, who could swim, obeying the instinct of nature, returned to land, where lie stabbed himself three times with a dagger, and then threw himself into the river a second time. Some peasants who witnessed the event drew him out of the water still living, and conveyed him to the hospital. He was not dead when the ac count leftt. The body of the female was found on the follow ing day. The young man is a student in medicine, anti the female, who was a pupil of the Conservatory of Music, was the daughter of a builder at Brussels. Despair in love was the cause of this tragical event." • THUNDER STORM.—On Friday a thunder storm visited this city, the electric power of which surpassed anything of the kind in memory, and the darkness , was awful. The rain:rushed down with impetuous force, mingled with hail, stones, and the thunder told ris near approach with a noise and effect equal to that of cannon, as if absolutely tearing up the very pavement of ,he streets. The sensation was pro foundly grand and sublime. 'f he saving mercy of Providence was evinced durin g the above awful thunder-storm, in a truly marked and gracious manner. A portion of the electric fluid struck the -angle of one of the main walls of Ballymacreese house, thesresidence of James Shine, Esq., who was then sitting up qairs in the parlour with two ladies and some of his children. The lightning shattered a wall torte feet thick, ran Oft the. chimney, and bust into the parlour with an . astounding• Aga, displacing a large stone over the mantelpiece, but inn most providentially was attracted at this instant by the bell-wire, along which it shot down through the floor into the lower et s, following this miracu lous conductor, burning the: per of the walls for several inches at both sides, and melting the bell-wire, leaving a most sulphurous Knell throughout its rapid progress, accompanied by a dense mist or smoke. The' servants in the kitchen were knocked against each' other and fell, and a girl in a distant room of the house had some glass broken in her hands in the act of removing to the pantry. The stunning shock of this dreadful visitation was felt for hours after by Mr. Shine and all the inmates, who have to thank Heaven for their escape under circumstances so awfully extraordinary.— Limerick Chronicle. DREADFUL MURDER sAT HUDDERSFIELD. —On Saturday night last, as Mr. Benjamin Whittel, jun., f anc y manufacturer, of Stainland, near Halifax, was walking home from the Littleborough railway station, on his return from Manchester market, he was shot dead through the head, about half-past ten o'clock:, near the Barksltnd toll-gate, by some villain or villains, who robbed him of about 931. Suspicion has fallen,on an individual with whom the unfortunate man was seen in 'company when passing through the toll-gate, who can not now be found. The police, however, are on the look nu'. Mr. Whittel was only recently married.— York Courant.

The financial affairs of the island had been in great confusion —in fact nothing less than a general bankruptcy was appre hended at one time. The state of affairs appears to have been brought round by the bad management and want of foresight of the directors of the Java bank, and not only the whole rner cantile community, but the local Government had come for ward to compel the bank to adopt steps calculated to avert the ruin with which the island was threatend. The English mer chants engaged in the Java trade have for some years past been " victimised " by the Dutch colonial policy, which is now, however, in some measure, re-acting against itself.

FROM Till .DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The present General Election will teach the public in how far the Reform Bills have secured the pur poses for which they were intended—to obtain for the people a due control over the administration of their affairs, and relief from the long course of Oligarchical misgovernment, which had existed from the commencement of the reign of George the Third. The Tory f mtion was stunned by the passing of the Bills. The first Parliament returned showed some symp toms of sympathy with the opinions,_ the wants, and the in terests of the people. The Tories, however, soon recovered from the shock. The impatient intrigues of their adherents at Court, already forced upon them, in the last days of the reign of William the Fourth, a premature attempt to rally and re gain their old ascendancy. Although that failed, the second election, in 1854, satisfied them that, great as had been 'the power given to the people by the franchise extended to large towns, the 501. clause, and other alterations in the provisions of the bill, secured to them the counties, the corrupt constituencies of freemen, and the smaller agricultu ral boroughs. All parties seemed to-rejoice in the preponde rance given to the landed interest by the bills. Beyonl these elements of power, there were others in their hand., with which the Reform Bills had not interfered. A large majority of the House of Peers had been of their own creation. The aristocracy and squirearchy remained attached to a system so completely protective of their exclusive interests. They had been long cogrupted by the allurements of titles for them selves ; employments in the professions, and at Court, for their families,- as well as by the temptation of sinecures and places in the Revenue departments, and the Colonies, for their indi gent and hungruelatives. The Church, the Megistraay, the - Array and Navy, the Bench and the Bar, the Public depart ments, the, Bank, the East India House, anal other monopolist. instieutions (for nothing escaped .the 4igi lant'eye ier keen 'grasp-of the Pitts, the George Roses, the Dundases, the Castlercaghs, the Jenkins'ons;the Seymour', and their retainers), werenearly.exclusively filled with Tory crea tures and dependants. The Toiiet submitted in a.tspeararice te, but never in reality accepted, the new Constitution.. The Reform Government remained constantly in a minority in the House of Lords. In Seotland and in Ireland. where the new constituencies returned large majorities of Liberal Members, the Scotch and Irish peers have never elected one single repre sentative peer to support a Liberal Government. No fact can illustrate better the resistance steadily and constantly in action to the measures of 1832. At last the silent preparations of the oligarchical faction for another attempt to seize the Govern ment, and commence a system of reaction, have been matured, and we see them in full action in every direction around as. Luckily for the cause of Reform and the people, they have chosen an occasion for their momentary success—if they are to succeed in attaining a majority in these elections—which necessarily insures their ultimate and complete overthrow. HERALD.—We have scarcely space or tune enough left us to call attention to the remarkable coincidence of the results of the Westminster election with the election for the city of Lon don. Yesterday Westminster returned (like its elder sister) a Conservative at the head of the poll, and, oddly enough, as in the case of the City return, so in thii of Westminster— there is, as yet, a dispute, which of the other candidates is duly elected, with the candidate at the head of the poll. We cannot anticipate the returning officer's proclamation of the numbers to-day ; and therefore reserve until to-morrow a few words which we have to offer on the pretensions of one of the candidates whose fate remains undetermined. In all the Saturnalia which enliven our streets at this exciting period of a general election we have witnessed nothing comparable to the grave assurance—nay we must call it the effrontery of the Globe of last evening. The Globe was one of the offenders, the tricksters, whose practices we have denounced in a preceding article. It thought proper, on the launch of the enormous—invention, which announced Lord John Russell as heading the poll—to " pursue the triumph and partake the gale" with ° all sorts of exulting demonstrations. Having thus been a party to the deception—(for this argument it is indifferent whether we consider it a designed or accidental deception )—which was thus practised on the country, it avails itself of the Sheriff's proclamation—what to do ? To apolo gise for the " mistake," so to call it, into which it hal been betrayed? To point out to its readers, with some little touch of candour, the gross m'srepresentationt of the Whig-Radical Newspapers on the subject? No. But to abuse—in terms selected from the vocabulary it studies (in common, we pre sume, with the " leaguers" of which it is the accredited organ) —the " Tory Press" for publishing the return list of the Con servative Committees. ADVERTISER.—Though it is perfectly impossible at the present moment to arrive at any accurate conclusion as to the ultimate result of the struggle now agitating the country, the Tories are daily making the welkin ring with their shouts of triumph, as if they were already secure of victory. It is true that the foul blot which London and Westminster have per mated to be inflicted upon-their escutcheon—by allowing their representation to be divided with the Tories—may well serve to encourage the feetionists in their onslaughts upon the other constituencies of the empire ; but in the manufacturing districts, where the more galling pressure of monopoly stimulates ;victims' into more determined resistance—where the elector is daily jostled by the starving operative, to whose support he must either contribute in the shape of poor-rates, or to whom society must look with apprehension as its enemy through ne cessity—the Tory threat and bribe become less effective before a more potent influence, end monopoly has les; chance of triumphing over the interests of trade. Such, for instance, was the case in Nottingham, where Mr. Walter, who, but a few weeks Since, by a heavy purse and a hollow profession of sympathy for the poor, succeeded in usurping the representa tion--has been, with his 'fory colleague, Mr. Charlton, re *ttiel-edr• rather, we rutty s.g 2 which .would hart been literakefilie ease had lie - tv e rees46- the 'poll—with the strongest eXpression of 'Npular. isidignation.• In recording this defeat of its champion, the Times treats the labouring classes of Nottingham, in whose, " sweet voices " it recently so much exulted, as a " riotous and lawless mob," a 'S ruffianly portion" of the community with whom the Tory candidates felt a laudable horror of coming into collision, and therefore abandoned the contest. The fact is, the " ru'ffianly portion" of the Nottingham community were all in the pay of the Tories, as was shown by the reports of the riots which lately appeared in the Advertiser; but this portion was, for tunately, too small to hold out the least chance of their carry ing the contest by the bludgeon. Mr. Walter and Mr. Charlton accordingly resigned—as the Times would claim credit fur them—to prevent " civil strife," and the " almost . certain loss of life." The Times, however, speaks truly when it asserts—" That the tranquillity of the town has been pre served by the retirement of Mr. Walter and Mr. Charlton, is certain; but it adds,—" very general regret has been ex pressed by their supporters that they did not allow them to register their votes in their favour"—which in plain language means, we infer, that the bludgeon-men were anxious to.break a few heads for the credit of their craft. POST.—How much—how very much prouder is the posi tion of young Mr. Attwood, who was within ten votes of beat ing Lord John Russell, the leading Minister of the Crown, in the first city of the empire ! He, who has been known to the public but for a few years as Member for Greenwich, who has no lordly title to attract the vulgar, who has no Ministerial sta tion to appeal to, who has no Government patronage tobestow, who has had no lofty opportunities such as his opponents has so long possessed, of earning the public confidence and applause— he polled 6,212 votes, while Lord John Russell , with so many advantages which Mr. Attwood has not, polled no more than 6,221. Surely, then, the position of Mr. Attwood, though in a minority of nine, is a far prouder one than that of Lord John Russell. He came so near his titled and influen tial competitor by the force of high talents, indomi table energy, sound knowledge, and unvarying good humour. These were his claims to support, and they brought him within nine of Lord John Russell, the leader of the House of Commons, and the most influential of all the Ministers of the Crown. Such titles to support as he possesses will not wear out, but for many years may be hoped to go on increasing and improving. It is a noble and just excitement to his ambition that already he has been so near defeating the leading Minister in a contested election for London. But suppose his opponent stripped of his Ministerial influence, as he soon will be, what would become of him ? Sup pose Lord John Russell a private man, again attempting to contest the City with Mr. Attwood on equal terms—who can doubt the result? For ourselves, we have no doubt of the matter. Meantime, let us congratulate our readers that, not withstanding the great confidence of the Ministerial party, that the new policy would enable them to carry all before them in London, they have lost two votes—a London Conservative merchant has come in at the head of the poll, and Lord John Russell only escaped being beaten by nine votes out of 6,221. TIMES.—We wish the Poor-law Commissioners and their masters joy of Nottingham for a few weeks to come. The dearly-bought and much-prized victory comes too late. The sound of anti-Poor-law triumph may seem to have died away for the motnent at Nottingham, but its echoes have by this time spread irony one end of England to the other ; and if the man who first raised the standard in that town (and whom neither this temporary discouragement nor the scurrility of the NVhig press-can deprive of his true position in the country)—if that man has been tricked and jostled out of his post, a hundred others have alredy stepped forward to follow where he led. " Non Hydra secto corpore firmior . Vinci dolentem crevit Herculem." The work has been already done ; the decision of public opi nion has been already spoken ; and the Treasury is not bottom- , less (thouglt the deficiency is), nor is there so accomplished a purist as Sir J. C. Hobliouse to superintend the processes of " gagging" and " thumbing" in every town. However " ge neral and unequivocal" may be the " delight" of the Pooor-law faction at Mr. Walter's failure, we tell them as confidently, nay, snore confidently than ever, that their days are numbered. The Whigs may have gained a seat, and the men of Notting ham may have lost a character ; but the cause of the poor is safe. GLOBE.—Lord John Russell, with that confidence in the integrity of his principles and purposes which has marked the - whole course of his public life, cast himself upon the support of the City of London ; founding kis expectations of being returned as one of its represen tatives on its approval of the great measures of fiscal and commercial Reform which he, as the representa tive of the Government in the House of Commons, had brought forward, and on which an appeal was to be made to the country. From the moment on which it was known that his Lordship hair determined on taking up this bold and proud position, the whole artillery of Tory rancour was opened upon him. The power ful corporations, which hold their central seats in the City of London, intere sted in th e perpetuity of restrictions upon trade, put in force the mighty influences at their command against the statesman whose liberal .policy was diametrically opposed to their exclusive systems. His enlightened and. expansive views rebuked their selfishness. The determined pur pose with which lie pursues the course dictated by a sense of what is required for the promotion and secu rity of the public interests, convinced them that their attempts to perpetuate the monopolies to which they c ling would prove abortive, when assailed by his arm, nerved by a sense of right, and encouraged by public opinion. Hence the extraordinary exer tions used to defeat his election by the close corpora tions and combined class interests of the metropolis. Th e advocates of corruption in the Corpo ra ti on a l so aided in the general design. Lord John Russel's at tempts to include the City in the great meas ure o f Mu nicipal Reform, and his subsequent endeavour s t o a bolish i ts se nseless and injurious exclusive jurisdiction—which is at once a source of enormous expense to the citizens, . an d of embarrasment and delay in the prevention, detec lion, and punishment of crime —were industriously c harged upon him as a contemplated innovation of the City s privileges ; and urged upon the livery as a reason why they should exert themselves to prevent the invader of their chartered rights from being elected as their re presentative in Parliament. These, and other considera %KWh were employed as auxiliaries to aid the Tories in the struggle against the Member of the Government whom they most feared, and therefore regarded with intense dislike. Their efforts failed. The close of the poll, though not favourable to the Liberal cause to the extent which was expected, included Lord John Russell among the successful candidates ; and this afforded to the Liberals a solace under partial defeat, the value of which was seen in the deep disappointment and mortifi cation of their opponents. The impudent attempt to conceal their chagrin, by setting up a fabricated state ment which excluded Lord John Russell from the list of the candidates elected ; and the industry with which they gave publicity to the lying announcement, that it might serve the purpose of a short-lived triumph in places where elections were yet pending—showed how confi dently they hactreckoned on success, and how great was the importance they attached to it. COURIER.—No better proof need be desired of the triumphant progress of the constitutional cause, than the chapfallen Crests of the so late uproarious minions of the Ministry. The Chronicle sings the fungal dirge of the party in double-leaded pomp this morning, as before, for days and week, it hallooed them on to certain victory with the same double-spaced honour of type and anticipated triumph. The evening satellites twinkle, -.however, only the more fiercely, as the morning luminary from whence the light is • borrowed is sufferiu the agonies of eclipse. Nothing daunted by the detected fraud, un der favour of which Lord John Russell's nam% was foisted to the head of the City poll, for the base and pettifogging advantage of deceiving thb couitry .to the miserable extent of one day's post only, pne, and the most dishonest, of this pair of unscrupulous paaisail§, .consoles itself for the distvters of London, 'Westmia ster, aid elsewhere, by the defeat of one of the Conser vative candidates for Notting m, who is assalizi. by name with ferocity of language equtd to an, ferocTly of Irigh bludgeonism, wantiuglits despttatif nlanliness, of which the annals of death's head and cross bones " ruffianism in Ireland or England can furnigh an ex ample. We have been accustomed to Pate Mr. Wal ter's useful labours and public importance as.higliß , as most men,' but never till now, amid the savage y%lls of ministerial exultation over his temporary discomfiture, were we able to appreciate so fully the full measure Of his value, and the corresponding extent of the public loss in the bereavement by which for a time the people are deprived of his services. Hg has reason justly to be proud of the distinction conferred upon him of being the marked man par excellenc;, the extraordinary and unhoped-for casualty orwhose present retreat is, with malignancy so vociferous, estimated as vastly more than counterbalancing , the degradation of Lord. John in the City, the ignominious rejection of Colonel Evans, in Westminster, the hooting of Lord Palmerston's preten sions, off the scene at Liverpool, and multiplied disgraces everywhere. STANDARD.—Why will not the counties recom pense the men who have fought their battles in the cities and boroughs, and in many cases sacrificed their prospects, because they would not purchase support by betraying the agricultural interest? Why should Mr. Walter, for instance, be driven from Parliament.by the Anti-Corn-law League, because he'would not declare himself absolutely against the agriculture of the country ? Why Mr. John Gladstone—why Sir Geo. Murray ? We could name many other gentlemen similarly circumstanced, who had but to say "We will support a repeal of. the Corn-laws," and thus adding the voices of the ignorant to those of their intelligent supporters, they must have secured their election. Do the agriculturists owe no debt to these gentlemen—or can they pretend while such men are excluded from Parliament that they must put up with Whig-Radicals as a pis alter. We can imagine nothing more likely to improve the position of the agricultural interest, than such a manifestation, at once of high- spirit and of grati tude. In giving this intimation we are far from wishing to advise a neglect of resident Conservative candi dates. We trust that wherever a faithful resident Con servative can be found to contest his county, that the claims of such an one will be promptly acknowledged and vigorously supported. Our suggestion only con templates the cases where no residents can` be prevailed upon to come forward, and where, therefore, there is danger of the Conservative cause being sacrificed for want of a. candidate. We should not indeed suppose such cases possible, where it not for the number Qf letters we receive daily, assuring us that such cases there are. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE (LLOYD'S).

Tyler will treat the mis sion and its bearer with the contempt they merit. The letter itself purports to have been written by the " vene rable Thomas Clarkson," but by whomsoever written or by whomsoever borne, it is a piece of impertinent impu dence that ought to consign everybody connected with it to the care of the door keeper—whenever they enter the Presidential mansion. It is a gross and direct insult to the country, and should be so treated. It is a pretty time of day, sure enough, if these English gentry suppose they can be permitted to inter: fere in this way with the internal concerns of the country and make the very Executive Hall the theatre of its athomless insolence. We recollect a good deal of the history of this Sturge. At some assemblage of Aboli tbnism in England, not long since, or in a letter to so ne body of the sort, he indulged himself in abuse and invectives upon the people of the United States, only \ equalled by the burly blackguard O'Connell. A very proper person this, to carry letters to our President, nd deliver them in person at Washington while Con- r.3ss is in session. In time of war it was deemed necessary to send Bri tish subjects " forty miles from tide water." • When in a time of profound peace, an emissary comes among us intent on mischief infinitely more dangerous, it would be about as well to escort hun " forty miles towards tide water," and tell him to go home and mind his own business. We do not recommend a supplimental kick or two, by way of reminding him of his manners here after, but it would be no inappropriate mode of teach ing John Bull that he had better take care of his own slaves before he meddles with ours,--N etv Y 7 ' opt Inq uirer Haymaking, however, was going on ia/Sidly ; vast breadths were carried, and ricks.thatdhed in security. Clover, lucerne, saintfoin, are in great abundance and fine condition. Beans, of which there were comparatively few in 1840, were and are in prime health. Peas good and abundant • and the potatoes' - were promising—tho h doubtful, because of the searcitrof moisture—s eh of their yield depends chiefly upon a due supply of water in June, or just before the blossoming season. But rain did come, and with a degree of temperature (minimum 55 deg., maximum 68 deg.) which gave it every advaq twre. The Barley was coming into e,Fr at a foot to P 6 inches t above the soil. Oats were scarcely progressing ; but since these rains of June 24, 25, and 28, the same fields exhibit a totally altered appearance ; everything is rushing on, growing is a term too inexpressive. The Wheat is in many places nearly six feet high, and breadths which were looking r4ther weak and stunted, • are now extremely strong. • Turnips (Swedes) have been hoed out, and are now secured by this most seasonable supply of water, and the meadows promise an abundant lattermath. During our late inspection, we observed many fields of wheat assuming that hoary shade, between green and yellowish white, which indicates a " turning off" prior to ripen ing. This is very early, but it is merely local. Ths crop, however, appears everywhere to be fine, if not pro fuse ; for we believe that the plant has received no cheek during the stages of flowering. • Potatoes, we have seen, benefited very sensibly; in fact, it cannot be otherwise, for if, after the plant has formed the chief of its herbage, the tuber-bearing pro cesses meet with a warm and moist bed, this secondary process goes on most rapidly, and dry weather, after mid-July, does no injury ; but an arid June throughout ripens the small half-formed tubers, which then produce a second progeny at the expense of the first, and thus both are comparatively worthless. Final results are still hidden to us, but from personal inspection and comparison of data, we hope the very. best ; and if a spirit of harmony equivalent to our other prospects could but prevail, we should have cause for more than rejoicing. WHO PAYS THE TAXES ? TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—English landowners have so frequently asserted . that it is by them the taxation of the country is chiefly paid, that some over-confiding persons have, without in quiry, credited that assertion, though the whole tenor of Tory policy, for the last sixty years, has in fact been to throw the burden of the State on the shoulders of the middle and lower orders of the people. • Have they (the Tory landowners) for example, within the period stated, added one farthing to the amount of the land -tat ? Have they ever imposed a probate duty on the descent of landed property similar to that which they have imposed on A personal ? Have they not, in truth, taken every-oppor- • tunity of annulling all those taxes winch press eithey on agriculture or themselves, leaving at the same time every other burden to be still borne by the middle and.lower • ' classes ? If we examined, furthermore; all those lead- . tint artie/cs-ofinreornttiotriPnrir which the.4eraiiircref. the -- country is mainly cleriv'ect ;it will be found thit they are such as are principally consumed by the 4,qhabitants of the towns, and perhaps more especially still by the commercial and manufacturing classes. It is thy them, for example, that the tea, coffee, sugar, tobacco, spirits, and beer, the duties on which form the chief sources of national revenue, are consumed. The agricultural classes, on the contrary, live chiefly on the produce of their own farms, and thus contribute almost nothing to the public revenue. It has also been habitual with the advocates of mono poly and injustice, while extolling the importance of the home market to the manufacturing interests, to en deavour to make it appear that a chief part of that de mand arose from the agricultural population. This hollow argument has; however, been happily disposed of by one of speakers at a late Lancashire meeting, who truly stated that the only demand for manufactured production from that large body of people, the agricultural la bourers, is to the extent of one fustian suit, worth about 31. in the year, with, it might have been added, a Sunday going suit, once or twice in a life-time. Such is the boasted agricultural portion of the demand from the home market, while, on the other hand, it is assuredly by the commercial and manufacturing classes that the agricultural produce of the country is chiefly consumed. If we analyse likewise the false and deceitful cry of agricultural taxation, we shall find that the complaining class has, as nearly as it is possible, in a united commu nity specially exempted themselves from it. Surely no Tory landlord will be found heterodox enough to call tithes a tax, or to assert that these do not of right belong to the church—again, few, even of the Tories, will be found unreasonable enough to deny, that the burthen of the poor-rates, as well as all the frightful beggary and destitution which now afflicts the land, is mainly created, the extravagant price of food, arisingout. of the landowners' iniquitous monopoly of food. Were ; that monopoly to be entirely done away with, none but th& helpless and infirm would require parish relief, for should that blessed period ever arrive, labour would be abundara, food would be cheap, and the labouring classes of England would again be blessed with grateful hearts, and a.m. tented minds. Father, it is unquestionably the operatirtn of le Corn laws, which has driven nearly a hundred thousand Rvitilis subjects to reside abroad, seeking cheaper food for their families in the kingdoms of the Continent ; and proba bly ten millions of English money are in consequence • manually carried out of this country. It is well known a that over the Continent generally there exists no laws, artfully devised to enhance the value of agricultural pro-- duce. as is the case in England, no twithstanding which the landowners both in France, Germany, and elsewhere, contribute, in the form of a land-tax, a very large pro portion of the public revenue in each of those States. so h In unhappy England, on the con, tra of landowners, hasry th long been governed by an oligarchy land-tax only amounts to a million and a quarter out a fifty millions of national revenue. and geat rpolitical tend to the 'in ttomitiognhotfporuorbatabslyk bme eco nomists would in form the public what proporti on the land-tax bears to the g eneral revenue, in each of the -as of te m rs u , c i h f some use other a ble to furnish one striking specimen of this descrip tion co untries of Euro p e. In the mean time I rim for May, which, in an articl e on Sweden, states from tion of information, derived from the Monthly3fagazina kingdom i n th e . au thentic documents , that out of 19,465,970 rix do llars , which formed the tota l revenue of that year 1829, no less than 12,622,621, or two- thirds of 'the - whole, arose from the land-tax. When the landowners therefore talk of protection, ,it should be remembered how they have hitherto evaded all direct taxation on their property ; that England is blessed with the best soil in Europe, and that conie-: quently its a givulture stands in need of no legislative protection, and further, as the expense of bringi ng corn from abroad amounts to 10s. per quarter, that alone is an ample protection, being about 30 per cent. on its foreign value. Though unprincipled selfishness may explain the oppo sition which has been offered by Tory landholders to the Pr oposals of her Majesty's Ministers, yet how they happen to have been joined i n t hi s oppos i t i on by the shipping interest, is a fact that seems quite inexplicable. The Ministerial Budget offers to that interest cheap timber, with which to build their vessels, cheap pro visions, and lower wages for their sailors, with a re gular carrying trade in corn, and a greatly increased freightage of sugar, as well as of general merchandise ; yet all these goo things they indignantly sacrifice at the shrine of party politics.
