The GREAT WIZARD of the NORTH'S PALACE of FASHION and WONDER is still honoured by the elite of the metropolis; in short, boxes, pit, and gallery are nightly overilowinc , with admiring hundreds, who with one voice pro claim—The Great Wizard of the North, the great master of scientific delusion ! the wonder of the age ! the miracle of the nineteenth century ! He will nightly continue to demonstrate the fallacy of the wisdom of our ancestors, " that seeing is be lieving." He will exhibit such wondrous phenomena, that if only heard of would never be believed, and even when seen cause the universal exclamation of " incredible !" The Great Wizard of the North begs to inform the musical the bell-ringers of London, and the public generally, that he has engaged the SEVEN HARMONIOUS YOUTHS; or, Lancashire Bell ringers, whose extraordinary performance on fourteen bells has created a great sensation in the North of England. The sensation having reached the Wizard, he has engaged them, and imported them direct from the North. They will have the honour of appearing for the first time before the public of the metropolis between the parts of the Wizard's performance, pealing forth their " merrie strains," recalling the memory of the "golden days of good Queen Bess" and " merrie England."

Tt is too soon yet to say anything of the gene ral results of the Census, but we cannot forbear directing attention to one cr two returns, which confirm the statements we have repeatedly made, that our population are gradually, but most painfully, starved down to the level of our own supply. In fact, the independence of the na tion, which is the pride and boast of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the aim of the Torier , means literally nothi ng more t h an t h at our people shall be continually starved down to the quantity of food produced in England. Such is the amiable intent and aim ofstatesmen, to whom the people pay large' sums to protect them, and whom they highly honour. Now to ourproofs. We yesterday quoted from a Manchester paper a statement that the population of the township increased at the rate of 31i per cent. in the decennial period ending 1831, while in the decennial period ending 1841 it has increased little more than 15 per cent. On a former occa sion we quoted a number of returns from the same neighbourhood illustrating the same fact. We find, in the Paisley and Glasgow journals, some returns from Paisley which teach the same lesson. In that flourishing town the increase is only 2,203 persons on 46,199, or less than 5 per cent., durin g the last -ten years. The three burgh parishes, we are told, possessed a population by the Government census, in, 1801, of 17,026; in 1811, 19,937 ; in 1821, 26,428 ; in 1831, 31,460 ; and in 1841, 32,229, exhibiting in the first period an increase in war time of 16 per cent.; in the second, also partly war, of upwards of 30 per cent.; and in the third period, wholly' peace, an increase of upwards of 20 per cent. ; while in the last period, also a season of peace, the in crease has been little more, in the burgh parishes, than 21 per cent. We are not sufficiently acquainted with the limits of the burgh parishes to say that the gradual check does not arise from the ground within them being already closely occupied ; but we quote this as an illustration of the general condition of the town, including the suburbs, in the whole of which the increase within the last ten years has been only 2,203. It is clear from the population of the burgh parishes that the check to the population has arisen and become powerful during the last ten years. The Renfrezeshire Reformer states that the prosperity of the town received a check in 1837. It adds that the small increase of popula tion is crowded into less house-room than was occupied by the more limited population of 1831. Then the uninhabited houses amounted to 257, now it is 671. " The document," says that journal, "presents indisputable evidence that the resources and condition of the people in this great manufacturing district are on the decline." Thus the landowners and the priests, who envy and hate the town population, and who have made and supported laws to keep it down or extinguish it, are unfortunately likely to obtain their object. Our!, manufacturing towns, when once the population has come to a still stand, will soon thereafter go to decay. But if (says the Edinburgh Review, in the article on the Budget) the products of a rival once meet us in any third market upon an equality, it is a proof that all ' these difficulties have been surmounted. if they shall once have obtained a superiority, that market, so far at least as respects the commodity in which we find our selves undersold, is - gone for ever. "We find by expe rience," said Mr. Gardner, (a very intelligent manufac turer, examined by the Committee of the House of Com mons on Hand-Loom Weavers in 1835), " that if we lose a market one year, we lose it altogether. It is not well to trifle with trade : by trying experiments for only one year, we might shut ourselves out. Once in possession of the market, they would keep it." The explanation is to be found in the well-known law of manufacturing industry, that, caterisparibus, with every increase of the quantity produced the relative cost of production is diminished ; and, what is the same in different words, that with every diminution of the quan tity produced the relative cost of production is increased. The larger the production the greater is the division of labour, and consequently the skill of the workman, the smaller the expense of superintendence, the more exten sive the use of machinery ; in short, every element of production become relatively more efficient, and every source of expense is relatively diminished. In our estimation, this passage, combined with the facts we have adverted to,- . ---that our manu facturing population is not increasing nearly so fast as it was, brings before us an alarming fact. It is plain that, as we lose markets, and other nations gain them, their power to produce cheaply is enhanced in proportion as ours is, diminished, and they must of necessity go on supplanting us more and more in all branches of industry, and hasten our decay. Let that be fairly set on foot, surrounded, as we are, with en vious competitors, and our declension will be more rapid than was our rise. Even those who are now born, if our present suicidal policy be per severed in, may live to see the day when stran gers from the United States shall wander amidst the deserted workshops of Birmingham, and the ruined factories of Manchester, as we wander amidst the ruins of Greece and Rome, and mourn over the departed greatness of the native land of their ancestors, and the birth place of their own freedom. It may well become a question with the peo ple, now that the population returns are esta blishing the fact, whether they will consent to be starved out of existence to prove a political theory. For our parts, we confess that we think their patience under the harrow of Tory legisla tion and Tory coercion has already been carried a great deal too far. The Government, using that word in the large sense of the Constitution, exists for their preservation and protection, and when it robs and starves them, it no more de serves respect and obedience than a nest of pirates. We can, however, see a glimpse of hope for them. Sir R. PEEL, we remember, said in one of his speeches, that whenever any evidence was brought that our manufactures were going to decay, he would be graciously pleased to take the subject into his consideration ! Be thankful, there fore, starving mechanics; be thankful hungry wo men and children; this great Tory statesman wil: now, by his own acknowledgment, begin to think you are deserving of his attention. When he is safely installed in office, he may permit at least an investigation into your sufferings, when that shall be moved for by Mr. VILLIERS. Be thank ful, suffering, starving people ! Your distress is now so great that it affects the public Trea sury, and through his wants as Minister you will compel Sir ROBERT PEEL, from self-interest, as a farmer is compelled when he finds his cattle dying out, to provide you more abundant and wholesome food. By the financial tables, it appears that the reve nue for the financial year, 1841, was actually less by 304,8391. than the revenue of the preceding year, notwithstanding an increase of taxation, calculated to produce upwards of 2,000,0001. Be thankful, therefore, suffering, starving, outraged people ! The Premier that is to be, who has been made wealthy by your excessive toils, and whose wealth makes his partizans boast that he is above the necessity of stooping to consult those who have your confidence--the neces sities of the State, and the decay of trade, though the whole crew of Tories care not a rush if you all perish, will compel him to save you. If he and they could multiply ma chinery to produce wealth and pay the taxes without you, their whole career of insult and in jury demonstrates that these so-called servants of the people would rather hasten you out of ex istence than endeavour to preserve you in life and happiness ! The lower classes who starve are known to the Tories as the swinish multitude, as the canaille, as food for powder, as hones to whet sabres on ; and only, like beasts of burden, to be cherished and protected, so far as they are required to produce the fortunes of the rich, and the revenue of the State. At present, as the State begins to feel or fear decay, the working classes may now, if they are true to themselves, receive some consideration. It seems right again to remind the fruit growers, who have sent men to Parliament to support Sir ROBERTMinisters PEEL, that had the plan a b r een able N d v du t u i l e d s on h a svueg been for reducing the carr t i e ed hu i y nto sug e a ff r ec 2 t, d. they r lb. cheaper at least than at present. Here is a s t a tement on the subject, which we borrow from s i u n g a which the Parliament, r, a ene provincialenclose paper on a sample I of B raz i l as Tories have refused, by their late vote admit into this co untr y , at a p r otective duty to the \lre to India planters of 50 per cent. ! Our house h a quantity of it just now forexportation, and it costs bought ost 225. per cwt., with 2i discount, or about 2 : 1-d. and the duty proposed to be char g e d on it was per s lb., cwt., which would make the p rice, incl uding duty under per 6 r id. per lb., more than 2d. per lb., loser than West In dia sugar can be got for, which difference the planters pocket at the expense of the British public, besides 12s. per cwt. of duty lost to the nation at large. East and West India sugar being admitted for consumption into this country, taxed at 245. per cwt., while the proposed duty on Brazil sugar is 365. per cwt. The fruit-growers must be well aware that a rise of 2d. peril). in the price of sugar makes a great dif ference in the quantity of fruit which is preserved, while it narrows the market for their produce and lowers its price. At the same time, it will enhance to them the price of their own preserves, and of all home-made wines. From the nature of our climate, in which the finest fruits, common to the Continent, situated in the same latitude as Britain—including grapes, which are brought to perfection in countries somewhat to the north of our southern shores — sometimes fail to ripen, there is perhaps nocoun try where sugar is so much needed and where its 4 *4, J:" ' lott,!•;•,, , , , • t fio TILE SUN, LONTiON, TURSIjAY, JULY 27, 184' consumption, could it be cheaply obtained, would be so great as here. Cheap ,sugar would be a great benefit to all the poorer classes. There is no country to which so great an injury is done by laying restrictions on the importation of sugar as in England. There is no class of people, moreover, who suffer so much from the restrictions on importation, as the farmers and agricultural labourers. Were sugar cheap, many bushels of fruit that now ripen and rot, in orchards and in hedge rows, might be converted into palatable and wholesome nourishment. From sugar being excluded or rendered excess sively dear by taxation, to fatten lazy negroes, or enable lazier planters to roll in their easy chariots along the smooth roads of England, or fill their purses to bribe the immaculate electors of Cambridge and other places, the peasantry and farmers of England are prevented from having those preserved fruits which constitute much of the food of the peasantry in some parts of the Continent, and in all parts the luxu ries of the rich. Our agriculturists are grievously injured by the taxation on sugar, yet under the influence of the parsons, and by the direction of the landlords, they have voted for men who go to Parliament to maintain the present exorbitant duties, which the Ministers proposed to reduce. A family of five persons of the middle ranks will use at the very least one hundred-weight of sugar per year, which at only 2d. per lb., to say nothing of the immense benefits which all classes derive from an extension of foreign trade, is 18s. Bd. per annum, which the farmers have by their votes levied on themselves. We presume they will repent before long of their folly, which is like that of men cutting off their noses to be revenged of their faces. An appeal has been made to the electors on the subject of free trade, and the electors have returned an unfavourable answer. They will not have it. They will have impeded and restricted trade. What lesson should we learn from this? Why, that the electors must be better instructed. There can be no hope that good laws will be passed, and when passed no reason to rely on their being retained, unless the electors be first convinced of their utility. The process of con verting and enlightening them may be slow, and far less flattering than the hope of converting the proximate Premier, or the leading statesman in opposition, but it is the only sure and safe way to accomplish permanent improvements. The political doctrines which once become the heartfelt creed of a people, may ,guide their con duct to the end of time ; but embraced only by statesmen, they may guide the national councils no longer than during one Administration. We reflect with some surprise and some grief, that the great doctrines of free trade, which Dr. SMITH expounded, were cordially embraced by Lord GRENVILLE, and assented to by Lord LIVERPOOL, and the statesmen of the past gene ration. Mr. PITT, too, was a free trader. The successors of those statesmen, however, have not inherited their wisdom; what they taught and practised seems to have been lost ; and as the community has gone for ward in knowledge, the Tories, with the qua lity of mules, have gone backwards. The knowledge which is confined to statesmen is evanescent; that which is spread through the people endures for ever. Hence we should like to see the Press rely more on the people than on Parliament, as the moving power of reform, and only demand those measures which the people are willing to support. Parliament is useful now chiefly as a vehicle for discussing proposed measures, and so making their bearings known to the public. The disso lution of the last Parliament, on account of the Budget, and the assembling of another, will ne cessarily make free-trade the topic of discussion ; and without further anticipating to what it will lead, we may safely say that no event within our recollection has done so much to make the doc trines of free-trade familiar to the nation as the defeat of the Whigs and the success of the Tories. The Extraordinary Express from Paris, pub lished in our Afternoon Edition of yesterday, anticipated most of the news containdd in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The following com munication from our Correspondent of that date, and the extracts which follow it, include all the additional information to be gleaned from Sun day's Journals : (FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, JULY 25.—There has been an extraordinary dearth of political news of importance for the last few days, and the only thing that has had to be remarked by the readers of the French Papers and the hunters after political intelligence, has been the absence of information o.n points where it was much wanted. Thus, Admiral Trug,zi's squadron has sailed from Toulon, the Moniteur, and the - ozer organs of the Government taking especial care to say nothing about its destination. We have rea son to believe that it..is going to follow the small division which sailed a few weeki ago, nominally for Tunis, but in reality for Greece and Candia, and that Admiral Hugon will show himself in the Levant. The precise object of this move is difficult to be conjectured, on ac count of the very peaceable nature of the latest intelli gence from the East ; but there must be something to have caused the late despatching of five British vessels of war from Malta for Syria, since followed by some more : and now that France has " re-entered the European con cert," as the Government scribes have it, she possibly thinks it a good opportunity to let the tri-coloured flag again appear in the Eastern seas. There is,. however, nothing warlike in the movement ; and the last mail from Malta makes things to be more tranquil than for a long time past. Another omission is that of M. Humann, the Finance Minister, to send out his loan : the talk goes that no issue will take place before December ; and a very im probable rumour has been circulated that this Minister may after all, issue it in Four per Cents. This in the present state of the Money Market could hardly be effected. It is asserted by some semi-official prints that the ob ject of the Royal and Noble personages who waited on the Queen Dowager of Spain yesterday, was not so much to compliment her Majesty on her fete day, as to congratu late her on putting her name to the last composition of M. Rea Bermudez, called " A Protest against the Guardian ship." The Queen- of. the French and some of the Princesses went to their illustrious relative on this occa sion—a circumstance which is alone sufficient to contra dict such a rumour. The cautious prudence of the wily head of the Orleans family (who is just as fond of having his own way with all the members of his family as with the State,—and has more than once taken the amiable Duchess of Orleans to task for presuming to offer her opinion in his august presence) would never allow the Queen to compromise his slippery policy towards Spain to such an extent. We are able to affirm that M. de Saint Aulaire has definitively been named to the French Embassy at London, and that he has accepted it ; but only on condition of entering upon the office when not a shadow of uncertainty shall remain as to the state of the East (which is still considered as liable to fluctuations) and when the Baron de Bourquenay shall be able to give him admission to Manchester House with a perfectly clear portfolio. The new Am bassador is a gentlemanlike man, of conciliating dispo sition, and was a great favourite at Vienna. It is rumoured here in certain Conservative circles that in case of a Tory Administpation coming into power in England, Lord Stuart de Rothesay will again be sent over as Ambassador, at least for a time. This is said to be at the special recommendation of the Duke of Wel lington. But even if his Lordship should come it will only be to keep the place open . for Lord Cant er b ury, who may be considered the definitive Ambassador. The Toulouse affair is blowing over The Govern ment is afraid of the state of feeling in the capital, and dares not to show its teeth at Toulouse.—otherwise, Va victis ! M. Maurice Duval, the Commissioner Extraor dinary, has been making a conciliatory speech (a thing he never did before in his life !) and it is to be hoped that this awkward business will not turn out so unfortu nately for the people as was at one time feared. It is truly ludicrous to see the Government people now swearing by all their gods that they abhor the idea of screwing up the taxes ! The grapes are sour. The Moniteur of the 25th July has no official part. M. Decazes, junior, arrived at Havre, from St. Petersburgh, on the night of the 23d, on board the Tage steamer. _ _ The Journal du Havre announces that he set out immediately for Paris, with very urgent despatches for the French Government.—Le Constitutionnel. _. - ..... The King was expected this evening at the Tuile ries, where he will remain till after the fetes. de Toreno, who is now at Paris, appears to act a sort of p o li t i ca l part ; h e has h a d w i t hi n th ese few days several conferences with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, which have perhaps some connection with the protest of the ex-Re gen t aga i nst t h e resolut i on o f t h e C or t es , which had deprived hi m o f the guardianship of his dauhter. A new promoti on of Peers is said to be in contem plation, at l east i t i s reported that M. Se b as ti ani will be very shortly introduced into the palace of the Luxem bourg. What s eems to g i ve some foundation to the re port is, that th e Ministry is accused of already taking steps . to secure th e election of M. Agenor de Gasperen in Corsica.—Le Temps, According to the same journal, M. Humann in tends to defer the i ssue of the loan till the month of December next. The Tage, Captain Verspecke, which, notwith- standing the bad weather, has performed in seven days the voyage from St. Petersburgh to Havre; met in the Cattegat, on the night of the 19th instant, with a French frigate, supposed to be the Danae, which is sent to Cron stadt to be at the disposal of M. de Baraiite", our Ambas sador in Russia. The whole plain of Valence is reaped. The wheat is fine, having been protected from the great heat by several days of damp and rainy weather. The harvest, without being abundant, is at least above that of ordinary years. The farmers are content.—Le Commerce. Advices from the lonian Islands of the 7th instant state, that the new Lord High Commissioner had hitherto led a west retired life, anti as yet held only one levee, on the anniversary of the coronation of Queen Victoria, at which he, for the first time, received the local authori ties and the Foreign Consuls. Accounts from Tunis of the 9th inst., brought by the Malta Times of the 15th, state that the Bey was ac tively engaged in repairing the fortifications and training his troops, in the anticipation of an attack from the Turks. He had then about 7,000 men concentrated at the Goletta. The Montebello and Neptune,. two French ships of the line, had arrived in Tunis a few days before. -- The Portafoglio Maltese of the 12th inst. publishes intelligence from Tripoli of the 4th, announcing that the province of Gorian had made its submission to the Bey, that the Scheik Ghtuna had taken refuge in the moun tains with his most zealous partisans, and all the chiefs of the villages had been made prisoners, and sent on board a vessel to be conveyed to Tripoli. Five deputies despatched by Ghuma to offer peace to Ahmet Pacha had been marched loaded with chains to Tripoli, and decapi tated. Mrs. Warrington, wife of Colonel H. Warrington, our Consul-General, died at Tripoli on the 3d inst. -L. The Ganges also sailed on Sunday for Mahon, to watch the movements of the French fleet under Admiral Hugon, which, as well as that destined for the Levant under Admiral Lasusse, are known to have sailed from Toulon, and on the 24th ultimo were both cruizing off the Balearic Islands, without their precise object being known. A line-of-battle ship and two frigates, no doubt forming part of the squadron for the Levant, passed Malta on the 29th ultimo, Ist, and 3d instant. The French corvette Enibuscade suffered some dam age in the Levant from an explosion of thirty charges of gunpowder, which were lying on the poop drying. The gunner and two others of her crew were killed, and eight or ten men wounded. Mons. Mallet, the commander, had a miraculous escape. We regret to learn from a Correspondent at Madrid that a marked jealousy of this country begins to manifest itself among all classes in the Spanish capital. A rumoured request of the British Government to a military hospital at Palma, has given rise to a popular impression that England is about to seize the Balearic Isles. The outrages of some smugglers on the Spanish coast is likewise laid at the door of our Government, as if it was the duty of a British Minister to enforce the orderly observance of the Spanish Commercial Code ! Spain will injure herself by her suspicions, and the intemperate language of her Deputies. To prevent smug gling the remedy is easy and efficacious—throw trade open by . abolishing the high rate of import and export duties. MR. MACAULAY AND lIIS CONSTITUENTS.--A dispute has arisen between the Secretary at War and some of the electors of Edinburgh, in consequence of an applica tion to him by the Town Council for a subscription to wards the support of the races at that city. The follow ing extract from Mr. Macaulay's reply has been submit ted to us :—" In the first place, I am not clear that the object is a good one ; in the next place, I am clear that by giving money for such an object in obedience to such a summons, I should completely change the whole cha racter of my connection with Edinburgh. It has been usual enough for rich families to keep a hold on corrupt boroughs by defraying the expenses of public amuse ments. Sometimes it is a ball, sometimes a regatta. The Derby family used to support the Preston races. The Members for Beverley, I believe, find a bull for their constituents to bait. But these were not the conditions on which I undertook to represent Edinburgh. In re turn for your generous confidence, I offer faithful Parlia mentary services, and nothing else. I am, indeed, most willing to do what I can towards assisting your registra tion. lam willing to contribute the little I can spare to your most useful public charities. But even that .I do not consider as matter of contract. Nor should I think it proper that the Town Council should call on me to contribute even to an hospital or a school. But the call which is now made is one so objectionable, that I must plainly say I would rather take the Chiltern Hundreds than comply with it."—[Having felt it our duty to ani madvert somewhat freely on the supineness, or negligence, or abstraction of the Right Hon. Gentleman who is the subject of the above paragraph, we must say that we think this letter does him honour. His conduct is straightforward and manly. It ought to be imitated by every other honest and independent representative.— ED. Sun.] EXPRESS FROM PARIS Accounts from Paris, dated yesterday, have reached town. They state that all was tranquillity at Tou louse and in the neighbouring departments. The despatches received in Paris from the departments had, in respect of the harvest, issumed a favourable characiler. Ttie weather in that capital had become superb. Private letters from Vienna, of the 19thinst., mention that commercial affairs were improving. Prince Milos* who had farrived at Pesti', on the 16th instant, was ex pected in Vienna on the 20th. His object was to solicit the protection of Austria against Russian intrigue. The mail from Constantinople was overdue iu conse. quence, it was supposed, of the floods, which were ge• neral. A shock of au earthquake was felt at Vienna or the 13th inst. The Madrid news of the 19th instant are unimportant. The report on the projected loan of 60,000,000 of reals had been agreed on in committee, and would be laid before the Chamber on the 20th. The Government continued to send reinforcements to the Balearic Islands. The Five per Cents. were done at 25 i f cash, and 25 and 263 at different dates. HAMBURGII MAIL. COLOGNE, JULY 16.—We are able to state, on autho rity which may be depended on, that his Majesty the King has granted the considerable sum of 40,000 dollars towards the expense of prolonging the Rhenish iron railway to the frontiers of the kingdom, near Minden. The inhabitants of the provinces of the Rhine and West• phalia will derive from this act of Royal liberality the agreeable conviction that sufficient and liberal assistance from the State will not be refused for the construction of the railroad to connect the western with the eastern provinces. HANOVER, JULY 17.—1 t is said that no hope remains that an operation may fulfil the wishes of the country, and restore the sight of our beloved Crown Prince, and therefore the regulation contained in the letters patent respecting the signature of the Crown Prince may be considered as definitive. • • BERLIN, JULY 19.—A thunder-storm, accompanied by a real hurricane, passed over Berlin yesterday afternoon at five o'clock. The damage done is considerable. In the Park and in other places many of the largest trees were thrown down. The corn which was cut in the fields was raised into the air, and carried to a distance of se veral miles ; the roofs of several buildings were stripped off, the windows driven in, and many persons thrown down. The fine roof of the tavern belonging to the Iron Railway Company, before the Anhalt Gate, was torn off and carried into the city. An idea may be formed of the power of the storm, when we add, that the roof weighed about 200 cwt.: It was necessary this morning to cut it to pieces in order to'remove it. The same storm did considerable damage at Frankfort-on-the-Maine and other places ; it was felt at llamburgh during the eclipse of the sun , but happily did no damage of any conse-, quence.--Hamburgh Papers, July 23. TRIAL OF THE STOCKPORT VIADUCT.- This magnificent erection upon the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, which was completed in Decem ber last, is now declared perfectly safe, and ready for all the lines of the railway. The permanent rails have been laid, and the first or trial trip was made On Friday after noon. The Company's superintendent of the carriages having examined the vehicles, about 12 of them w ere attachd to two engines, a Union jack fluttered in the breeze at the rear and aft—small cannons were placed on the top of the last carriage—and at two o'clock, amid the volleys of firing, the shouts of the passengers, and the shrill notes of the steam whistles, the whole train was propelled from the shed, and proceeded steadily to the centre of the viaduct ; and having moved across this stupendous piece of architecture, measuring one-third of a mile in length, the train returned before three o'clock. The experiment was made with every possible success, and without the slightest accident or occurrence calculated in the least degree to mar the character or the gratification of the trip. In the course of the day, other trips were instituted by several Direc tors of the Company and their friends from Manchester, for the purpose of testing the solidity of the per manent road, all of which, we are happy to add, terminated to the entire satisfaction of all parties connected with the undertaking. The extreme length of the viaduct is 1,780 feet, or (as. we have already stated) about one-third of a mile; and the width of the road between the parapets is 28 feet, affording ample space for two lines of railway. It has 22 semi circular arches, each 63 feet span, four of 20 . feet span, and two at each abutment. Its height to the surface of the rails is 106 feet from the bed of the river, or 111 feet to the top of the battlement, being six feet higher than the celebrated Menai Bridge, Wales. The foun dation stone was laid on the 10th of March, 1839, and the work was comp l ete d 21 st D ec . 1840. The quantity of stone used in the erection is above 400,000 cubic feet, whilst the number of bricks consumed exceeds 11,000,000. These bricks laid end ways would describe a distance equivalent to 568 miles and 32 yards, equal to the measurement by turnpike from the remotest place in Northumberland to London and back again ! It is a noble viaduct—a work of great stability and firmness, and does infinite credit to the designee, Mr. W. Buck, and to the enterprising character and masterly execu tion of Messrs. Tomkinson and Holmes, the contractors, of Liverpool. The cost was about 70,000/., a saving of 50,0001., having been effected in the whole line to Man chester, by increasing the altitude of the viaduct to the present plan. The line between this town and Manches ter was opened on the 4th June, 1839 ; and the whole length to Crewe will be ready for passengers in March next, StraUIARY OF NEWS AND Vnbitt Opinion. "11 runs may read." ABROAD. FOREIGN-COLONIAL. The Levant Mail just arrived brings advices from Alexandria of the sth, Constantinople and the lonian Islands of the 7th, Smyrna and Tunis of the 9th, Athens of the 10th, and Malta of the 15th inst. So far as regards commerce the Hatti Sheriff is a dead letter at Alexandria. Trade was never subjected to more restrictions in Egypt than it is at present. Mehemet Ali will only liberate the Syrian prisoners at the express command of the Sultan. His Highness will be no gainer in the end by so flagrant a breach of a promise made to Commodore Sir Charles Napier. Mehemet Ali's agents are actively at work stirring up disaffection in Syria. Nothing, however, can exceed the well-feigned horror with which he hears of their proceedings. • On the Ist inst. the Hajji Baba steamer, with the Paella's son, Said Bey, and his private Secretary, Sami Bey, on board, left Alexandria for Constantinople. Said Bey was the bearer of 50,0001. of tribute to the Porte, of numerous rich presents to the Sultan, including five fine Arabian horses, and an embroidered housing studded with dia monds; ofjewels, and Cashmere shawls for the Sultana Mother and the favourites of the harem, and of splendid presents to the Ministers and heads of the Ulema. All that the Viceroy failed to effect by force, he trusts to accomplish by the skilful application of bribes. The Scheriff of Mecca' having thrown off the au thority of the Porte, Mehemet Ali received a firman on the sth inst. from the Sultan, commanding him to restore order in the Holy Cities, and authorising him to deduct from the tribute the expense of the expedition. This will be an easy matter as the Scheriff is the creature of the Viceroy, by whom the rebellion was organized, to prevent the disbanding of his troops in obedience to the mandate contained in the firman, which bestows upon him the hereditary government of Egypt The Egyptian steamer, with Said Bey and Sami Bey on board, arrived at Constantinople on the 6th inst. They were to remain in quarantine for twelve days, at one of the most delightful spots on the Bosphorus. The greatest attention was paid them by the Porte. The Journal de Smyrne of the 9th inst. publishes a letter, representing Candia as perfectly tranquil, the insurgents having laid down their arms. We do not be lieve a syllable of this. Letters from Athens of the 10th instant state that there can be no doubt of the ultimate success of the Candiote insurgents. Sir John M'Neile is on his way to Persia as Bri tish Ambassador to the Court of the Shah. Russia continues to carry on a devastating and de , moralising war against Circassia. The Commerce gives the following, as the amount of the naval force which France has at her disposal for the Mediterranean :—Twenty-six ships of the line, car rying 1,844 guns ; seven frigates, 270 guns; nine sloops, 214 guns ; sixteen brigs, 94 guns ; eight transports, ca pable of carrying 194 guns ; and twelve smaller ships, capable of carrying 36 guns ; making a total of 78 ships, and 2,804 guns. Public opinion in France is divided between the riots at Toulouse, the aspect of affairs in Spain and the East, and the state of parties in England None of the articles recommend themselves to notice by either no velty of views, or sprightliness of style. AT HOME. MISCELLANEOUS. The trustees of the British Museum have just en riched themselves by an additional purchase of Messrs. Smith's valuable collection of prints : the well-known ancient printsellers of Lisle-street, Leicester-square.— Their beauty and rarity are extreme. The whole con sists of 321 prints, for which the Museum pays 2,3001. A meeting of foreigners was held last evening in the Archery-rooms, Bath-place, New-road, to commemorate the anniversary of the death of five martyrs to the cause of freedom, executed at St. Petersburgh on the 25th of July, 1826. —At the Eton election regatta on Saturday, the " Election Ode," by Edward Irwin, " the Eton poet," beautifully printed upon white satin, was presented to her Majesty and Prince Albert. A physician, who was lately arrested at Rome by orders from the Supreme Ecclesiastical Court, for pro fane swearing, has been condemned to pass several weeks in practices of devotion in the Convent of the Capuchins. If every blasphemer hail the same punish ment kneted t out to him, the monks would then have something to do. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, formerly one of the Poor-law Commissioners, is appointed a Commissioner of Emigra tion, without salary, thereby effecting a saving of 1,0001. per annum, as it is not intended to continue more than two salaried Commissioners. The electors of Kinross-shire gave a grand enter tainment last week to Sir Charles Adam, late Member for the county, on the eve of his leaving the country to take his command on the West India station. MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. It appears that the mother of the Empress of Aus tria and several German Princes have suffered losses to the amount of 500,000 florins (50,0001.) by the failure of the house of Geymuller and Co. Private letters received from Paisley yesterday state, that an old established house in that town had stopped, and that the liabilities amount to 200,0001. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The entertainment given by the Royal Naval Club to Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, at the George Hotel, Portsmouth, on Friday evening, was on a scale of great magnificence. Admiral Sir Edward Codrington was in the chair. About 80 naval and military officers assem bled on the occasion to pay a tribute of honour to the venerable Admiral, who is in his 75th year. LAW AND POLICE. A master-bricklayer was brought before the Sit ting Magistrate at Marlborough -street this morning, charged with cutting the throat of one of his lodgers in a fit of jealousy. He was remanded till further accounts should be received of the nature of the wounds inflicted on his victim. A curious case of insolvency was heard in the In solvent Debtors' Court, which is too good to abridge. PUBLIC OPINION. An opinion is expressed in the Times that Mr. Shaw Lefevre ought to be turned out of the Speakership, because he is friendly to the rural police and the new Poor-law, two measures which Sir Robert Peel supports. Will the Times or Sir Robert prevail ? That journal has evidently begun to dictate to the Right Hon. Baro net, and as he will scarcely be more docile to its dicta tion than was Lord Melbourne, we must expect that after the Right Hon. Baronet has had a six months' trial that the Times will be against him. The Times is also of opinion that no other nation has ever witnessed the spectacle new exhibited by Great Britain to the admiration of the world of a triumphant reaction of sound public opinion against the progress of a partially successful democratical movement. The Times, therefore, justly looks on the present decision of the constituency in favour of maintaining the Corn-laws —to which, by the by, our Contemporary was adverse ; what her present opinion is we know not--as the suc cess of the aristocracy against the democracy. We have maintained that opinion throughout, and it is well that both the aristocracy and the democracy should know the real nature of the contest. Notwithstanding the temporary defeat, the latter ought to feel unbounded triumph at the admission. The aristocracy have nailed their colours on a battered and sinking hulk, and when the starvation monopoly goes to the bottom, as go it must, will not the aristocracy, unlamented and unhonoured, sink with it ? -- A writer in the Herald has evidently no knowledge of the history of England prior to his own time, and he is yet a juvenile, at least in understanding. He ascribes trades' unions, operative associations, universal suffrage clubs, Owenite schemes, &c., to the Reform Act, as if there were no universal trades' unions and combinations, no Luddite marches and insurrections, no Spencean plans for dividing the land, no agrarian systems, no " Devil's chaplains" or Carlisles, with avowed con gregations of unbelievers, and as if every strange and monstrous birth of time were the product of the Reform Act. We question whether there have not been fewer such associations, and fewer seditions and rebellions during the ten years that the Whigs were in office than in any preceding ten years of our history. In fact, as long as the people could hope that Parliament would reform abuses, they were disposed to rely on Par liamenti; now that such a hope is at an end, by the elec tion of a monopolist House of Commons, out-of-door as • sociations will be, and must be, more numerous and for midable than before. The Post follows the Examiner of last Sunday, in attacking \ r. I..l.‘Culloch's late pamphlet, though on dif ferent grounds. That gentleman, whatever he might have meant, has pleased neither party ; and both are more anxious, however either may use his statements, to censure than to praise him. Whether the suspicion be just or not, both parties suspect that he had motives for his statements, and distrust them. The Chronicle seems to look upon the officers of the Customs as the greatest rogues in existence. What a history of fraud, exclaims our honest Contemporary, would be unfolded were the frauds practised in the River Thames alone, through connivance with the servants of the Custom-house, to be revealed ! There is hardly a widow of a waterman below bridge who does not receive a pension from some quarter or other of the Custom-house to keep her from divulging th, secrets she might obtain a knowledge of during the life time of her husband. The Post is as furious against the Chronicle as that journal is against the delinquent Custom-house officers, and accuses it of a determination to conduct the opposi tion to a Tory Government in the Jacobin spirit of the first French Revolution, and in resentment of the loss of office, involve Great^Fin in the horrors of a sangui nary democratic revolution. Our Liberal Contemporary, the Advertiser, makes a violent attack on Lord John Russell for not following out the principles of Reform laid down by his Lordship in the House of Commons in 1831. Considering the difficulties in which Lord John was involved by Whig- Tory colleagues, Tory, alliances, and Tory courtiers, the animadversions are too severe, but they are not destitute of truth. The Ipswich Express states that, when the present condition of political parties, and of popular ignorance, as disclosed by the elections, is considered, it is by no means a subject of regret that the advocates of advance ment and civilization should be again in opposition, or that the maintenance of public grievances should once more occupy the high places. The Liverpool Chronicle observes, in a leading article on the subject of the Registrations—" We have no hesitation in prophesying that we shall have an elec tion almost immediately, and we can give precedents enough to show that our late defeat is no reason for despair. The Cork Southern Reporter congratulates the Reformers on their not attempting in any way to extenu ate the victory of their opponents, observing :—" This is an indication of an elevated and healthy tone of the Public mind, and so long as difficulties are viewed un shrinkingly and calmly prepared for, there is no just cause for desponding." THEATRICAL. The two Grisis, Lablache, Puzzi, Benedict, and Loder, appear at Mr. Machin's concert at Birmingham, on the 19th of August next. COURT-I'ASHIONABLES. The Earl of Malmesbury has returned to White• hall Gardens, from Putney. The Noble Earl's healtl has but little improved. Lord Ormond and the Baron Rothschild arrived from Ostend on Saturday. A grand archery fete will take place at the delight ful watering-place of St. Leonard's-on-Sea, on the 17th of August, when the Queen's Leonard's Archers will hold their annual grand target-day ; her Majesty's prize to be shot for. The Hon. Edward Richard Lyttelton, eldest son of Lord Hatherton, will shortly lead to the Hymeneal altar the Lady Margaret Percy, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Beverley. The Lady Frances Anne Emily Vane, eldest daughter of the Marchioness of Londonderry, is shortly to be united to the eldest son of Sir Charles Knightley, Bart., M.P., of Fawsley, Northamptonshire. RUMOURS OF THE DAY. Earl de Grey, who was. First Lord of the Admi , ralty in Sir- Robert Peel's Administration, is spoken o as the future Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. The report that Sir James Graham is to go to India is contradicted. The Right Hon. Gentleman's friends fear that his failing health, and not good constitution, might make the climate of India fatal to him ; and to preserve so very valuable a life for the Tories, they are anxious to keep the Right Hon. Gen tleman at home. It is supposed, however, that he is not grateful for their care. Mr. C. T. D'Eyncourt has been labouring under severe illness for some time, and the general belief in the borough of Lambeth is, that, being unequal to the fatigue of parliamentary duties, he will shortly resign. Mr. Robert Steuart, formerly a Lord of the Trea sury, and Member for the Haddington Burghs, has been appointed to a Consulship in Columbia. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert, escorted by a party of the 11th, under the command of Lieutenant Forrest, left the Castle at twenty minutes past one o'clock for the seat of`the Duke of Bedford, Woburn Abbey. The Equerries in Waiting, Colonel Buckley and Colonel Bouverie, occupied the next car riage, and another carriage and four conveyed the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lady in Waiting ; Hon. Miss Sarah Mary Cavendish, Maid of Honour in Waiting ; Marquis of Headfort, Lord in Waiting ; and Mr. George Edward Anson, Treasurer to Prince Albert. Her Majesty and the Prince are expected to remain at Woburn Abbey until Thursday morning, when they will proceed to Pansanger, Herts, to honour the Earl and Countess Cowper with a visit. On the following (Friday) morning the Royal party will honour Viscount Melbourne with a visit at his seat, Brocket Hall, Herts, to partake of a dejeune, returning to Pansanger in the evening. In the forenoon her Majesty and Prince Alberl walked for some time in the Park. His Royal Highness the Duke de Brabant is better, and now takes an airing every day. Her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians remains at the Castle. The Earl of Fingal arrived at the Castle to-day, to be in attendance on her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal takes her usual airing. Her.
