EVENING SUN. TO THE ELECTORS OF MIDDLESEX. GENTLEMEN, THE distinguished honour which you have this day, for the fifteenth time, conferred upon me, de mands my warmest thanks, and impresses on my mind the con viction that my past services in Parliament, during a period of upwards of fifty years, have met with your entire appro bation. It must be unnecessary for me to explain the line of con duct I intend to adopt in the ensuing Parliament, as you must be fully aware that at all times it has been my most anxious endeavour to prove to you on all occasions my desire for your welfare; and I can assure you my zeal for it will, with the blessing of the Almighty, continue unwearied so long as I shat be your representative. I can most confidently assert that I hare never been in fluenced-in the discharge of my Parliamentary duties, by any person's oonsideration ; and on again returning to the House of Commons, I shall feel that your confidence is a proof that you consider my conduct to have been upright and indepen dent, and that I am worthy to be the representative of one of the most enlightened constituencies in the empire—an honour I have always valued more than any that could be conferred by a Sovereign. Thronghont my life I have advocated those principles which are founded on that beautiful precept—" As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise ;" and from which alone can spring the happiness and the glory of this na tion. By such principles I have been actuated from my youth, and to them I shall adhere to the close of my life. With feelings of sincere regard, I am, your faithful servant, St. James's-square, July 7, 1841. G. BYNG. J UNIOR UNITED SERVICE CLUB, &C And its 1,900 Members. By the rules of all Societies, ancient and modern, charges against any member are always substantiated, under the most critical examination, devoid of ex-parte statements—an accusa tion copy in full being sent previously to him, the whole of whiCh, as a bacis of proceeding, placed under "the MAINSTAY" of a Proposer and Seconder, to make the same valid ; and if not done so " OPENLY," all premeditated charges fall -• to the ground. * At the meeting called of the - Memberi in London on Thursday last, touching on matters foreign, and out of the sphere of the Club Asso ciation, as will be evident to all, the Secretary, on the elec tion-of Chairman, instantly began to read a Rep3rt filling two and a half sheets in foolscap composition of irrelevant and scurrilous abuse—none of which was sanctioned by the Chairman to be proved—although containing mo4t libellous assertions, under various dates. The said malicious assertions—even had they been proved— a copy of ‘‘ THE INDICTMENT," as well as time for a reply, should have been given, in common courtesy, for refutation, as it is in all well-organised societies ; instead of which, a pre mature haste, " by show of hands," at the conclusion of the reading by the Secretary,— caused this unknown in strument, " A REPORT," so called, to be predominant, in such wise as to overrule, without any proposer or seconder being admitted—to the subject matter before the Club—a circum stance contrary to the standing rules. From the above show ing, each individual member will at once perceive and be asto nished as gentlemen to think at the slender thread that binds therm to this and other associations of like nature, if once admitted. Therefore they now will learn publicly from this my protest (as stated at the nseeting)—that I don't intend to quit the Club, or calmly give up my share of the Club investment, which the compound interest of my en trance money and subscription yearly guarantees by law an inherent right to a Member's contributory share, now valued at FORTY THOUSAND Pounds sterling.

Till we saw the Tory Morning Papers yester day, joining in one chorus of praise, we deemed Lord STANLEY's speech, at the nomination for Lancashire unworthy of remark. A more corn pi4teCollection of fallacious common places, put into'wU sounding phraseology, is scarcely to be ii#t-with. is matched, indeed, but not on tuirthiasTsed,ii the aiticle in th e Q uarterly Review eltudget,•in which there is on the subject orthe :AFtlaws a gr ea want a sense, except in the proofs it affords that a fixed is quite as in jurious as a sliding duty. Our present business, however, is with Lord STANLEY, and, in the first instance, with one passage of his speech. We shall return to his Lordship. Among other things, he said— One word to the manufacturing labourers. They tell you that their foreign trade will be greatly increased by cheap bread. Why? Because they can produce the ar ticle Cheaper. Why? Because they will have to pay lower wages. What other earthly reason?—(Loud cries of " Hear," and cheers.) The only mode in which cheapness can benefit the manufacturing community, is by enabling them to produce their goods cheaper; and they will so produce them, because, on their own show ing, they will give a smaller amount of wages.—(Hear, hear.) If they don't, the labourer obtains the benefit ; but then the increase of manufactured goods will not follow. Is nut this the manufacturer's own argument? I defy any man to come forward and say that this is not the manufacturer's argument.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Reduce the cost of production, and you increase the production. How else, in the name of plain common sense, but by lowering wages ?—(Cheers.) For Lord STANLEY to misrepresent his oppo nents' arguments is nothing new—it is his usual tactics. The manufacturers have never said that they could produce the article cheaper solely be cause they would have to pay lower wages; on the contrary, they have throughout argued the question of the Corn-laws on the ground that the abolition would be equally a benefit to them and the labourers. Lord STANLEY has not taken their argument, he has stolen the fallacy of the Chartists, and palmed it off on his hearers as the manufacturers' argument. They disclaim it, but Lord STANLEY made it his own, and professed his belief in it. The Noble Lord roundly asserted that cheap bread and the abolition of the Corn-laws would lower wages. Only by lowering wages, lie said, could the cost of production be decreased and production augmented. Lord STANLEY ut tered that sentiment with the smoke of hundreds of tall chimneys rising in his view. He spoke these words surrounded by the most ingenious machinery for supplying the wants and ministering to the comforts of life that ever the art of man invented. He spoke them surrounded with masses of fixed capital, much of which is standing idle, some of which is going to ruin, and all of which is falling in value because it cannot be employed. Speaking these words so surrounded, it is impossible for Lord STANLEY to plead ignorance of the fact that machinery does the greater part of the manufac turing process, and that the price of every piece of cloth consists of the cost of the machinery, or the remuneration of fixed capital, and the wages of labour. In what proportions the price is di vided between these two, we pretend not to guess; it is different in different manufactures; but this we know, and this we state—and if Lord STANLEY do not know this, or, knowing it, blinked it, he is in the one case from gross igno rance, or in the other from more vicious insin cerity, unworthy of his station—that in propor tion as the remuneration of machinery enters into the price, so may the manufacturer, or the owner of fixed capital, lessen the cost of pro duction by producing more, without lowering wages. What is at present the case in Lancashire ? The mills are working four days in the week, and several of them are shut up. On two days the manufacturers gain nothing on all their fixed capital which is unemployed; but on those two days their mills, like those always shut up, are a source of expense and loss. Now suppose, by the abolition of the Corn-law, trade should be so much extended that all these mills were working full time, for all that portion of the large pro cess which is performed by machinery, no in creased expense, or a very trifling one, would arise for working six days more than for working four. Suppose that 10,000 pieces of cotton cloth are produced by one mill in four days, then in six days it will produce 15,000 pieces. Now sup pose, as we do not know exactly the proportions in which the price is divided between the remu neration of machinery and the •wages of labour, that it is equal—machinery has half, and wages half. Suppose further, then, the cloth sells for 203. a piece, then in the former case there will be 10,0001. to be equally divided between the manu facturer and the labourer, and in the latter there will be 15,0001. ;"each will get 7,5001. though both will be paid in the same proportion as when only 10,000 pieces were made; but in the latter case the manufacturer, without incurring anything like a corresponding expense, will reap an addi tional profit of 2,5002. Now if the manufacturer desires to force or extend his market he may lower the price of his cloth 2s. a piece, sell the 15,000 pieces for 18s. a piece, and still gain a clear additional profit of 1,000/. without lowering the wages of his work men a farthing; on the contrary, by obtaining more employment their remuneration will be, on the whole, increased one-third. We do not make this statement, as a correct pounds, shillings, and pence state ment, but a correct outline of the means by which an increase in the demand for the manu facturer's cloth, the result of the abolition of the Corn-law, would be advantageous to him, though accompanied by a considerable fall in the price of the article, enabling him to under sell his competitors in the market, without at all lowering the rate, and largely increasing the whole amount of wages. But this case of a single mill is an epitome of all our manufac tures, and shows that the more machinery is extended the more production may be increased, and the more it is increased the more the price of production may be lowered without lowering wages. We cannot imagine an excuse for Lord STANLEY making such an erroneous state ment, speaking in Lancashire, and overlook ing, or forgetting, the employment and ef fects of fixed capital, or our superb ma chinery, in lowering the cost of production. We can easily forgive Mr. LOVETT, the author we believe of the fallacy that Lord STANLEY has filched, for overlooking these effects, because he has not lived in a manufacturing district; but for one of the great landowners there, whose wealth is mainly enhanced by the increased price given for sites for this machinery to overlook it is wholly inexcusable. Seeing that Lord STANLEY had a base party purpose to serve by it, the Noble Lord will excuse our straightforwardness if r r to we add add that he blinked this desi g nedly, i n gull and blind by his great authority, the ignorant freeholders he was addressing. One of the peculiarities, or rather the pre eminent advantage of England is, the possession of machinery in unheard-of masses and of tex quisite superio r it y . If - we say that at present one o c s ohalfremunerate of the of ownersall our manufactures t he machinery, g and the other half to pay the wages of the labourers using it, we s h a ll not b e, pel•haps, in using manufactu rers an d t h e erh far ena l wrong. The i 1 owners of that machinery w i s h to bring it into full operation; the y wish to erTt and us more; they wish to exchange its pro ace for the corn and flour of t he United Sta tes and of Russi a . No, says Lord STANLEY ; No, sa y the landlords, you shall not do that , no r shall the nation b e enriched by all the wealth which would be employing the existi ng ma created by fully elainery, and by erecting more, for that would put our land out of cultivation. Was there ever anything more absurd ? It is clear the manufacturing labourers would have more to do, and more pay b the abolition of the Corn-laws and the calling more machinery into operation; it is clear that owners of machinery would derive great advantages and obtain a great increase of wealth, from em ploying it ; it is clear that an additional demand would arise for that machinery which only our own people can supply ; it is perfectly clear that the corn imported, however large the quan tity, could by no possibility keep out of the market anything like an equal quantity of Eng lish corn, because the importation implies a cor responding extension of manufactures, more than at present. There would be more articles manu factured. But, under this preposterous, idle fear, the landlords condemn to idleness this beautiful and advantageous machinery, condemn to com parative idleness those who use it, and those who make it, and deprive the community of its im mense advantages, and the immense accession of wealth, which using its powers fully would bestow on its owners. Unfortunately for the reputation of law-makers, this example of their depriving the country, by their gross ignorance and selfishness, of one of the many advantage, which the ALMIGHTY has conferred on it, is not singular. The statute book abounds with evi dence that they are some of the most mischiev ous men that ever existed, and the curse of their fellow-creatures. It is at present the object of the Tory Journals to represent all the difficulties of the country as the result of mal-administration, and to kindle the wrath of the public against the Ministers. We have on more than one occasion insisted on the fact that the distresses and difficulties of the people are not the consequence of maladmi nistration, but of incorrect and unjust legislation. The practical importance of the distinction is very great, and as one or other view is correct, relief may be obtained by changing the men, or can only obtained by altering the laws. We do not conceal our chagrin that the electors have too generally adopted the Tory view. They believe the laws are good and just, and therefore they have given their support to men who have de clared they shall not be changed ; and have with drawn their confidence from men who affirm that a remedy for our distress and difficulties can only be found in altering the laws. We very much regret the decision of the electors, but if the majority, instead of being a mere measuring cast majority, constituted four-fifths of the House of Commons, we should still maintain, respec fully but firmly, that its decision is equally erro neous, and injurious to the public. The great and pressing difficulty for the Go vernment is the financial deficiency. How has that been brought about by mal-administration ? No persons are more sensible than we are of the folly of wasting public money, but the large al lowance made to the QUEEN by the Whigs had the approbation of the Tories; and the extravagant grant they would have made to Prince ALBERT not having been completed can have had no in fluence on the financial deficiency. It is as easy to say that the Ministers have perpetrated jobs as that the Times is remarkable for its strict ad herence to truth—and both assertions would be false. We confess to the MONTEAGLE job; but the utmost expense of that was the pension to Sir JOHN NEWPORT, and it was connected with a considerable saving in the Exchequer, made by the Whigs. The Whigs, we admit, have cre ated a great number of Commissions to settle the claims of the slave-owners to compensation —to carry the Factory Act into execution—to carry out the New Poor-law—to execute the Tithe Commutation Act. But most of these ar•e Par liamentary Commissions ; they all have im portant duties to perform ; nor has anybody shown that those duties are worthless, or that they could be performed in a more economical manner. Supposing them to have been unneces sary, the whole expense of them would go but a very little way to account for the excess of the expenditure over the revenue. Two extrava gancies the Whigs have undoubtedly been guilty of, which the Tories vehemently reprobate. They have appropriated a sum of money to ex tend education, and they have given up some revenue to facilitate communication. Never will the Tories do the like. The Administration has involved us in ex pense by the assistance given to expel Don CAR LOS from Spain, which, being achieved, and Spain saved from being either the vassal of France, or the tool of Russia, is, according to the ordinary course of State policy, and states men's prudence, a great benefit to England, pur chased at a small cost. The Syrian expedition was another subject of cost, but the Tories have approved of it. Since it was ascertained that M. THIEns had a particular object in view, detri mental to the interests of England, no other objection has been made to Lord PALMERSTON'S policy by the Tories than that he might have spoke the Frenchman fairer. But whatever the cost of the expedition, it grew out of the Tory neglect, prior to 1830. The Tories allowed the Turks to be placed at the mercy of Russia, and every subsequent act was the consequence of their policy. They have, accordingly, both pub licly and privatly, approved of thepolicy of Lord PALMERSTON. We know not how some expedition to China could have been avoided. The seizure of British property by the Chinese authorities was not Lord PALMERSTON'S act, nor provoked by him ; but had he not taken measures to procure redress all England, particularly Tory England, would have rung with reproaches. But the Spanish, the Syrian, and the Chinese expeditions, with the altered relations of France—are the great sources of expense in our army and navy ; and unless the Tories can show that those expeditions were uncalled for, or injurious, it is all nonsense to grumble at the cost. It is not our business, however, to defend the Government from the charge of being costly. We have always inculcated economy, and depre cated that eternal meddling and extension of the sphere of government which makes it more vexatious and more expensive. But the Tories take a different view. They complain perpe tually that the Government does not do enough, and if their suggestions to extend the Church, to increase the instruments of coercion, to pro voke the Irish, had been attended to, the expen diture would have been increased a million a-year more. Without defending every act of the-Go vernment we affirm that it has fairly and tem perately administered the laws, and that, conse quently, the present difficulties of the Govern ment and the country are owing to bad laws, not to their being badly administered. One of the charges now made against the Mi nisters is that, having had a large majority in the House of Commons for several years, they inexorably maintained the system of protection, and did nothing to remedy the defective legisla tion. The writer who makes the charge must be either ignorant of the history of the Whig Administration or he wilfully mis-states the case. Not now to notice the number of reforms which the Whigs carried, and those which they proposed without being able to carry, we will just remind our readers that during the ten years the Whigs have bee n i n office it has been a standing reproach to them that they were casting everthing loose and fastening nothing. If they had, in addition to altering the Poor laws, and reforming the municipal corporations, commuting tithes, &c. &c., also proposed a great and sweeping reform in our commercial system, who could have set bounds to the indignation of the Tories, and who can measure the exhaust less vituperation with which they would have assailed the Whigs ? But in fact our system of commercial legisla tion, though it be, demonstrably, speaking scien tifically a great error, and, speaking morally, a great crime, was not attended practically and immediately with the disastrous effects which recent sufferings have convinced the public ne cessarily belong to it. In 1828 only, or two years before the accession of the Whigs to office, the present Corn-law was passed, with the approba tion and support of both the great parties of the State. It was certainly opposed in its progress through Parliament b 3 some agriculturists like Mr. BENETT and Lord WESTERN, because it did not give protection enough ; by some Liberals, like Mr. HOME and Mr. WHITMORE, because it gave too much; and by Lord KING, whose ex cellent protest we publish elsewhere, as iniquit ous : but both the great parties of Parliament acquiesced in it. What would have been said of the . Whigs, had they, from a heedless zeal for change, proposed at any time before 1840 an alteration in that great, most erroneous, and most criminal part of our legislation ? At only one period, within a few months after the passing of the Bill, did the price of corn rise to 70s. prior to the year 1838. The years from 1832 to 1830 inclusive, were years, prices were d own b elow 505., all good and the only complaint made against the Corn law was by the Duke of BUcKINGITAM and Mr. V, - •, - -.- ." , lb . .

CAYLEY, that it did not give protection enough. Before 1833 it would have been hopelessly im possible for the Ministers to have done anything with that law, and the manner in which they have now been deserted .by Whig landlords, is a complete demonstration that they never had the power to correct this legislative error, and ex tinguish this legislative crime. It must also be remembered that the commerce of the country was tolerably prosperous till the beginning of 1838. The continual remissions of taxation made by the Whigs from their accession to office, continually fed the hopes, stimulated the energies, and rewarded to a certain extent the exertions of the industrious classes. An end, however, came to these remissions of taxation, and the fiscal system interfering with every part of the social machine, clogged its progress. When additional taxation became necessary in 1840 its retardation was made painfully appa rent to all. Though science and morals had alike denounced the iniquitous Corn-law many years before, it was not till 1840 that its effects were so far developed that any Ministry could have been justified in proposing to alter it. Assuredly had the Whig Ministry so proposed, it would have caused an instant dissolution of the Cabi net. There is no other measure which can give more relief to the people than an alteration or abo lition of the Corn•law, and nothing more credit able than the wantonness of malice can induce any writer to accuse the Whigs of not having proposed an amendment in that erroneous and Scoundrel legislation, while they had ;great ma jorities in the House of Commons. Argument and facts of a similar character ap ply to the sugar duties. Since slavery was abo lished, there has been no year of very exorbitant prices, but 1840 ; and no justification, therefore, till after the experience of that year for pro posing an alteration in the law. Had Ministers proposed it when prices were getting up, before any person could tell how far they would rise, or how temporary was the elevation, the statement that the Whigs were taking advantage of a mo mentary and passing state of the sugar market, to injure the sugar planters, would have been un answerable and most injurious. Till 1841, then, the Ministers would not have been warranted in proposing an alteration of the sugar duties; the timber duties Lord ALTHORP tried to correct, and was by the monopolists defeated. It implies a false charge against the Ministers, then, to affirm that they inexorably maintained the protective system when they had large majorities, and only abandoned it to harrass their successors. It is only within the last three years that several of its worst consequences, which were neutralised before by successive reductions of taxation and extension of the market, have been developed, and tardy as we thought the Ministers were in attacking it, the present contest is a proof that they have now attacked it too soon for the con tinuance of their power. We have lately laid before our readers two or three proofs of increasing attachment to free trade amongst the farmers, and here is another. On seconding the nomination of Mr. ELIOT for Roxburgh, on Tuesday last, a Mr. Munn.Av, of Kerr Mains, used the following. language : I am a farmer; I have no means of paying my rent but from the land I occupy. The cry of agriculture in danger has been raised through the length and breadth of the land. What is that cry raised for ? Mr. Scott says that he regards with alarm an experiment that has a ten dency to destroy our home agriculture, and lay us at the mercy of foreign nations.—(Hisses.) But I ask, if he is desirous, as he says he is, that the food of the people shall be as cheap as it can be consistent with a due regard to the permanent security of agricul ture, is he taking steps to procure that ? I congratu late you on the fact, that a large portion of the farmers of this county—the largest and most influential portion of them—will be found voting in favour of Mr. Elliot. —(Cheers.) I will tell you a fact which, perhaps, may startle you. I am a farmer on the l)uke of Roxburghe's estate, and so wide-spread and universal is the feeling that the present system of the Corn-laws is positively injurious to the farmers (because it is injurious to the whole community), that five of his Grace's tenants, pay ing among them a rental of 8,4001. per annum, will all go forward and record their votes for Mr. Elliot.— (Cheers.) There was a cry raised that cheap food would lead to low wages. That was a most delusive cry, Cheap food had nothing to do with low wages. I have been in the United States ; I have seen a labouring man there earn his dollar, or nearly 4s. 6d. a day, while his loaf was only 4d., and his beef or mutton only 3d. per lb.—(Cheers.) As this is a subject in which I am pecu liarly interested, and hope to see a measure carried which shall be really beneficial to the farmer, I can con fidently assure you, that the farming interest is to b e most benefited by the thriving and prosperous state of the crowds I see before me. In your prosperity rests ours.—(Cheers.) 'The moment that the manufacturing interest of the country falls from its high position, down goes the farmer. We have had three indifferent harvests of late, and corn has risen very high ; but then look at the state of the manufacturer who buys our wool. From the languishing state of manufactures there has been no demand for wool, and that articl e h as i n consequence fallen in price, till it is now less than ls. per lb. If a lower price of corn would take money out of one of our pockets, the thriving and prosperous state of manufac tures would put it into the other.--(Cheers.) His statement that farmers are beginning to suffer in the price of their wool, was confirmed by Lord HOWICK at the nomination for Northum berland on Tuesday. It is confirmed, too, by the account of the Exeter Wool Market of July 1, as follows : Here all is still gloom, and in the raw article farther positive decline has taken place, several parcels of yolk wool having been sold at lid. per lb., a lower price than we think we have had to state fin- several years ; while the tendency at present, it Were vain to attempt to dis guise, is still downward. Great importations of colonial wool are con tinually taking place, which fetches rather an in creased price, and perhaps tends to beat down the price of home-grown wool. With this vas. quantity of raw material, pouring in from many quarters, if the landlords will not allow the peo ple to have food, and will not allow them to find customers abroad, it is plain that the wool cannot be worked up and the prices must fall To continue the Corn-laws the landlords must also demand a heavy protecting duty on colonial wool, when they and the colonists of the Southern hemisphere will go to loggerheads. The re medy for their quarrels, as for all our com mercial evils, is to set trade free, and then the farmers will iie sure, as Mr. MURRAY said, to find their prosperity in the prosperity of the ma nufacturers. We presume Mr. NEWDIGATE, who appeared on the hustings at Brentford to nominate Colonel WOOD, must be an elector of Middlesex. It is said, indeed, that lie is to be the second Tory candidate on a future occasion. To him, there fore., in common with the other electors, is the language of Mr. BYNG addressed, which appears as an advertisement in another part of The Sun. If he be susceptible of any generous emotions, the contrast between Mr. BYNG'S kind words and his own harsh language, must give him great pain. Mr. NEWDIGATE is, we believe, just of age, and yet he had the impertinence to reproach Mr. BYNG, a consistent politician for fifty years, with the errors of his political life. Mr. NEWDIGATE not only forgot the reverence due to age, but the courtesy which is common amongst gentlemen. He admitted that Mr. BYNG'S private life was amiable—happy will it be for Mr. NEWDIG ATE if, at the end of his career, any man shall be able to say either of his public or his private life that he resembled the good Mr. BYNG. The Paris Journals of Thursday for the most part de vote their leading columns to the insurrectionary move ments now taking place in the different European pro vinces of the Ottoman Empire. The Republican Papers, such as the National and the Siecle, are in favour of the insurgents, but the Debats, and the organs of the Government generally, regard them as rebels against the authority of the Porte. As this question is one of the gravest importance, we shall take an early oppor tunity of expressing at some length our opinions upon it, for which space is wanting in our columns of to-day. Whatever the advocates of Established Governments may urge, we are prepared to prove that Turkey has lost her hold upon Europe. An express from Paris, of yesterday's date, with the latest continental news will be found in another column. Subjoined are extracts from Thursday's papers : We find the subjoined news from Aden in the Malta Times: --" The intelligence from this place (3d inst.) is of a very satisfactory nature. It was rapidly improving and increasing in population ; the number of inhabitants, incluuing the garri son, amounting to 12,000. The fortifications were progressing, roads making, and many other improvements going on. In less than five years it will be the largest town in Arabia, and probably the richest. The Arabs, even since this last unsuc cessful attack in July, have remained perfectly quiet, and bring plentiful supplies. 'I he troops were exceedingly healthy, and the Europeans more so than in any part of India where they are stationed." Our readers know that according to one of the clauses of tho Convention, concluded on th e sth of April, 1840, between France and the Grand Duchy of Baden, annual conferences are to be held, alternately at Strasburgh ar.d Carlsruhe, be tween the engineers of the two States, for the purpose'of com municating to each other the projects for regulating the limits of the two countries. It is announced that the first meeting is to take place this year in the month of October at Carlsruhe ; the matters which are to be the subject of the conference is already prepared. Another object of this meeting is to lay down a general system for regulating the courses of the river. —Moniteur. The Toulonnais of the Bth of July publishes a private letter from Algiers of the 28th of June, in which we find the following passages : " The troops departed again on the 25th, as we announced to you. We have received no news of them either directly or in directly. General Bugeaud, too, does not send us any infor mation, and we do not know where he is. He is, however, expected very soon at Algiers, where certainly no triumphant reception will be offered him. Our population is very discon tented, and daily growing poorer. Trade does not extend be yond the gates of the City ; in short, we are uneasy, and un happy. Our hopes are incessantly turned to the future, which ap pears to us under gloomy colours. Thus we shall continue to vegetate, unless, as we are made to hope, a civil Government shall soon take the place of that which is a heavy burden on us. Some names are already mentioned, and that of M. Remurat is at the head of the list."—Le Commerce. TRENCH AFRICA. The Toulonnais of the 4th instant brings intelligence from Algiers of the 29th ult. The Abbe Suchet, who bad been sent by the Bishop to negotiate with the Arabs an exchange of prisoners, and of whom no account had been received since his departure, retu:ned to Algicr on the 28th. The Arabs continued to commit all sorts of atrocities in, the immediate vicinity of Algiers. On the 23d the hay belonging to Marshal Cl suzel was burned on his farm of Baba-Ali, and eight mowers were carried away by the Arabs. Whilst the French were engaged in destroying Tekedernpt, Abd-el- Kader, with his regular troops, had marched for Ain.Maidi. The Sultan of the country, the brave Tedjini summoned him to retire from his dominions. The Emir replied that he was determined, either by fair means or by force, to reduce him to subjection. A battle ensued, in which the calalry of Ted jini was said to have completely routed the regular battalions of the Emir, killing between 800 and 1,000, and taking the rest of them prisoners. General Bagaguay d'Hilliers again took the field on the 22d, and was operating on the 27th in the neighbourhood of Milianah. The military hospitals of Algiers were encumbered with sick, and no less than 500 had been of late embarked monthly for Mahon and Toulon. A report pre vailed in Algiers that a civil Government would shortly supers sede the military yoke which hitherto paralyzed the develop ment of the resources of the colony, and that M. de Remusat, former Minister of the Interior in the Thiers Administration, who has made his peace with M. Guizot, was to be appointed civil Governor. The Brasier steamer was to have sailed for Tunis on the Bth, with the new Vice-Consul of France in the regency on board. France, according to that journal, has now in the Mediterranean a naval force of nineteen sail of the line, of which three are three-deckers, six frigates, a great number of corvettes and brigs, and about thirty steamers. The flotilla of brigs, which the Toulonnais announced was fitting out for the Brazil; station, was intended for the coast of Texas, where, in consequence of the difficulties which have arisen between the President of the Republic and the Minister of France, M. de Saligny, the presence of some French vessels of wa r was re quired. The Courrier des Etats Unis gives the following further account of the affair of the ship Charles : " When the captain of the steamer went on board the Charles he found the ship entirely abandoned. On a table in one of the cabins were four porter-bottles, nearly empty, and the froth of the beer was still fresh. All the baggage of the passengers, their clothes, &c., had disappeared. A great quantity of blood was found all about the vessel and on the bulwarks of the ship, showing that some one, after being dreadfully wounded, must have been thrown into the sea. These circumstances left no doubt that a crime of the most horrible nature had been committed on board the Charles. After having carefully inspected all parts of the vessel, the captain of the steamer con ti n ued cruising about for five or six hours, in order, if possible, to discover the long. boat of the Charles, and about ten miles off he fell in with a jolly-boat which appeared to have belonged to that ship. There was a dog in it belonging to one of the passengers, but nothing else was found. The animal did not seem to have been long aban doned, for when he was given some water he did not drink with much avidity. The French Consul at New Orleans has given a list of passengers by the Charles, who had taken out passports in his office, but it appears certain that there were several passengers who had not done so. There were among the male passengers one Spaniard and five French, and there was a French lady, of Bordeaux, on board, Madame Veuve Petit, with her two daughters." ALGIERS.—A fatal mistake of one of the outposts of Mos taganem has cost us the life of a brave officer, the Captain of one of the companies of foot chasseurs ; four soldiers were also killet!, and eight others were wounded. This lamentable accident happened in the following manner. Our Smelas were returning from a sortie, accompanied by adetachinent of the chasseurs, when the soldiers of the battalion on guard, unaccustomed to distin guish our allied Arabs from the enemy, fired upon the party as it approached. The Srmlas immediately dispersed, leaving the chasseurs, who were in the rear, exposed to the bullets of their comrades. Between the 19th and 21st about 80 head of cattle, belonging to allied Moors and Arabs, were stolen by the Kaby les, from the environs of the Maison Came and driven off in the direction of Rassauta. On the 23d a quantity of hay, belonging to Marshal Clauser, at Balba Ali, was set on fire by the Arabs, who also captured six Europeans and two Kabyles, employed in mowing. On the 16th fires were seen at three other points of the plain." It appears from the account of the affairs of the Bank of France, published in the Moniteur in virtue of the law of June 30, 1840, that the balance sheet of this establishment, on the 31st June, 1841, amounted to 487,379,133 f. The state of the accounts during the second quarter of 1841 was as follows: average amount of specie in hand, 226,856,500 f. ; average of discounts, advances, and loans, 136,630,000 f. ; aver age amount of current accounts of the branch banks, 16,958,000 fr. ; average of the circulation, 326,727,500 francs; and average of the different accounts current, 156,077,000 fr.; the operations realised during the same quarter were, for dis counts, advances, and loans, 246,060,000 fr. ; accounts cur tent, 2,050,787,000 fr. ; for those of the Treasury, 180,361,000 fr. ; and the amount of the general business of the whole esta blishment, 2,505,015,000 fr. The result of the operations of the bank for the first half-year of 1841, is 5,252,436 fr. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JULY 9. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pricy.

STEPHEN'S, A VISION OF THE EDITOR OF THE "STANDARD?' The Election bustle was past and o'er, And thronged again was St. Stephen's floor, Which showed, methought, as in days of yore, (Days which I fear'd would return no more) A band of Tories, each brisk as Wrench, Rang'd in rows on the Treasury Bench, And looking about them with suck an air So exceedingly smiling and debonna ire, That my thoughts, which had long been black as night, Cleared up at once at the cheering sight, And I capered, and cried with exulting shout, " Thank God, those infernal Whigs are out !" 'Twas an exquisite View I the Tory chiefs, No longer burdened with party griefs. But impressed with a sunny sense of duty, Formed a striking foreground full of beauty, While the Sibthorpes and Bens with their beards grotesque, Formed a background still more picturesque. But, alas ! while I gazed with delighted mien, An ominous change came o'er the scene, Which slowly dissolved, like the Views we meet At the Polytechnic, in Regent-street— I looked fsr Goulburn and Peel, but, 10, They'd both disappeared, like last year's snow, And where they had sat, I observed with dread That Russell and Baring were seated instead ! I looked for Stanley, he too was gone, And his place was usurped by Palmerston ! I looked for Hardinge, but 'mid the rout, He also had marched to the right•about ! And where Sibthorpe had sat, so famed for speeches, There sat Muntz in his Dutch-built breeches, With Dan, the Destroyer, in full-blown pride, Grinning from ear to ear by his side ! In :port, not one of the Tory pack But was off in (what Colman calls) " a crack," Leav:ng the Whig and Radical crew To grace together—the scamps !—this new And unexpected Dissolving View ! I Shocked at such change, with distracted brain I cried—for I could not my wrath restrain— "Oh d—n it, those Whigs are in again !" Then woke with an asinine bray in my ear, As the Member for Lincoln roared lustily " Hear !" LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, JULY 10.—Wind this day at noon, S. W. DEAL, JU LY 9. —W in dW. S.

The diseases of climates are no respecters of persons. The Court of France went into deep mourning on Friday, for the Queen of Hanover, for a fortnight, at the end of which it will wear second mourning for another. fortnight. The Journal des Debuts is opposed to the insurrec tion in Crete. The fortifications of Paris are producing discon tent among the troops employed in excavating the works. Soldiers everywhere are fonder of fighting than of dig ging. There is no prize -money yet to be won so near the banks of the Seine. The ordin-Lry Session of the Swiss Diet was openel at Berne on the sth instant. The island of St. Theodore is included in the blockade of Candia. The latest news from Candia is of the 18th of June. The Candiotes experienced some slight reverses, but in every engagement they were the assailants. Tahir Pacha is to send no heads to Constantinople. Pyramids of skulls are no longer to attest the valour of the Moslems. So much for the influence of the French Consul in Candia. Three shocks of an earthquake were felt at Paris on Sunday night, preceded by a tremendous thunder storm. • It appears from a late number of " L'Experience,” that in the short time since the first performance of the operation for squinting, no less than forty-nine different instruments for its performance have been invented in France and Germany, and are to be found at M. Charriers'. The chief inventors are MM. Dieffenbach, Phillips, Jules Guerin, Velpeau, Leroy d'Etiolles, and Lucien Boyer. A water-spout has lately done much damage in the neighbourhood of Orange, Provence. Trees were torn up by the roots, and part of the walls of the town of Courtezon was undermined by the water and fell. At the earnest solicitation of the Ambassadors of the Great Powers, the Sultan has ordered the following four reforms to be made in the Administration of Syria :- 1. The Christians of Mount Lebanon, governed by the Emir Beschir, are to have a representative at Con stantinople, to report directly their grievances to the Sultan and the Ambassadors of the Chr'stian Powers. 2. His Holiness the Patriarch of the Maronite Chris tians is to have a representative at Constantinople charged with similar functions. 3. The Christians of all denominations at Jerusalem, and likewise Jews, are to be under the control of a Governor, charged to protect them from the oppression of the Pachas and the insolence of the Moslems. 4. The taxes levied upon the inhabitants are to be equalized, and Christians are not to bear heavier finan cial burthens than Moslems. All well so far as words go. But as there must be foliage before fruit we will allow time for the result. AT HOME MISCELLANEOUS. - - A portion of the Manchester cotton factory of Messrs. Kelly and Gilmore, situated in Bradford New Road, Ancoats, fell down yesterday, by which four indi viduals were killed. St. Chad's cathedral is certified as a place duly re gistered for solemnizing marriages. Yesterday the Lord Mayor held Courts of Conse: - vancy of the River Thames, when the Jury reported that Battersea-bridge was very dangerous to the present navi gation, and also that a serious destruction of fish was caused by the wash from Booth's distillery at Brentford. Yesterday morning, between twelve and one &clock, Mr. John Hiscock, landlord of the King Harry the Eighth's Head, High-street, Lambeth, was on his way to the Town Hall in- the Borough, to meet the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, to make their presentment in the Court of Conservancy, he was observed suddenly to reel and fall upon his face upon the pavement. He was picked up in an apparently dying state and conveyed to the surgery of Mr. Rendle, close at hand, where every means were used to restore animation without effect. The deceased was about thirty-five years of age, and has left a wife and three children. In the evening an in quest was held upon the body at St. George's Work house, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." The following is a return made to one of the enu merators for taking the census :—" Sirs,—ln Answer to the foregoing Chapter I Endeavor to Follow the Washing and Dressing as I Can, Dipending on the Public for my work. I endeavour to follow the Cissession Religion, Christy Fraser 45." MONEY, TRADE, AND COMMERCE. Import of Scotch cattle and meat into the Port of London increases. 400 bullocks, 1,000 sheep, and 300 pigs, exclusive of 100 tons of dead meat have come to the Tower wharfs this week. NAVAL, AND IVIXLITARY. The Woolwich marshes resounded ;rth artillery firing on the sth ult., when the drill of the company was pronounced excellent. Spherical case shot were fired 600 yards distance ; common case-shot 300 yards from the target. The Berbice Gazette states that a large slave-ship had just come into port, captured by the English schooner, Fawn. After being shotted she was boarded, and the scene, on and below decks, was dreadful. The slaves below hatches were dying, dead, and blistered with small-pox, and the stench was insupportable. She sailed from Benguela with a cargo of 510 slaves ; during her passage of thirty days to Rio Janeiro she lost 130 ; twenty more perished on the sail to Berbice ; and since landing four more have died, with twenty-nine in the hospital. Even a Portuguese must sicken at such scenes. ZIAW AND POLICE. In the Queen-square Police -court yesterday it was decided that the consumer bad a right to remove his own cinders or ashes for any useful purposes, and that the right of the scavenger attached only where the owner had no use for the articles, except as rubbish. Two men who were taken into custody for the supposed offence were consequently discharged. A fruit woman,' who had for the last fifteen years kept a fruit stall by the side of the Courts in Guildhall yard, was some days ago removed by order of Inspector Todhunter, on the ground of general bad conduct. The case came for hearing before Alderman Farebrother yesterday, when, after some gentle reproofs to the In spector, orders were given that the woman should be allowed to resume her station. SPORTING. The returns from the game counties are generally favourable to the prospects of the sportsman. The grouse, in particular, are abundant. EVEINING SUN• ELECTIONEERING. About 150 Members have been returned who did not sit in the last Parliament. In his election speech on the hustings at Devizes, Sir Francis Burdett assured the North Wilts Electors that on his " first entering into Parliament up to the present period, he had not in the slightest degree deviated from the one single strait line he had in the first in stance marked out for himself 1" This is' as rich a specimen of grave wooing as modern times can show. The Hon. Baronet started in life as an ultra-Reformer— he is now an ultra-Tory ! He was once all for the People—he is now all for a faction !He was once an advocate for Universal Suffrage—he is now an advocate for suffrages within Tory limits ! He was once for Annual Parliaments—he is noW shocked at the idea of even Triennial Parliaments ! -He once protested nothin should ever induce him to fraternize with the borough mongers—he now sits by the side, and votes with the Rump of the Boroughmongers ? Yet he tells us he has never in " the slightest degree deviated " from his prin ciples ! Exquisite wag ! The Park-gates at Wycombe have been closed against the families of all those who voted for Dashwood and Bernal. An old woman, who heretofore had re ceived the perquisites of the Abbey dripping -pan, has ken deprived of her sinecure. Messrs. Mundy and Colvile having proceeded to canvass the Derbyshire villages on horseback, they were pelted by the villagers, who were irritated at their cavalierly conduct. Mr. Bell jocosely remarked on this at the hustings, thus—" What business, I should like to know, have they to go about the county with a body of people on horseback following at their heels, and trampling down the populace.—(Hear, hear.) A body of horsemen can in no way assist the explanation of tbeir sentiments, nor give them good principles if they do not possess them. I have canvassed North Derbyshire more than once, but I never was preceded by any one of more importance than the bill-sticker.—(Loud laughter.) I was in the habit of sending on the bill-sticker before me, and then. perhaps, without being attended by a single soul, I would ride into the village and proclaim myself to the people. I said, shall be very happy to speak to you if you will hear me,' and they all did hear me. I. used to call it carrying my principles in my portmanteau, but these people have such a vast deal of t principle, that they must have fifty horsemen to charge of it."—(Roars of laughter.) THEATRICAL. Pasta has been singing of late at Berlin with mode rate success. Taglioni is about to dance si,: times at Stockholm, as a Swedish-born danseuse shoul.. do, prior to retiring from the stage. Batte, the violorc• make a long English tour, and Liszt is .to winter in Russia. PINE ANTS. The excavations making in Paris for the fortresse4 have, as it was expected, brought many things to liglit Where the Seine and Marne conjoin, Roman tuilitarf ornaments without number have been found, with human skeletons as if on a battle-field. Rose-culture is carried to great height at Pviins! in Champagne. M. Opoix, a great name there ta this line, was the first who formed the famous couserve fr om them, and recommended the tinting of bonbons with the rich colour which the flower yields.
