By the arrival of the Overland Mail from India we have received highly interesting news from . China of the 24th of August ; from Singa pore of the 4th of September ; the 11th of September; frozn from Madras of alcutta the 15th of the same mont h ; and from Bombay of the Ist of October. Sir HEN RY POTTINGER, the new Plenipotentiary, Minister Extraordinary, and Chief Superintendent o f the British trade in China, arrived at Macao on the otllof Au gust, in company with Admiral Sir WIL LIAM PARKER. On the 12th of the same month he addressed a notification to British sub jects, informing them of his arrival, his functions, and the existence of an actual war between Great Britain and China. Of this notification a copy will be found in another part of The Soil. It is a plain, straightforward, manly document; forming : , a singular contrast to the inflated bom bast of ELL10T. , .7 Sir H. POTTINGER promises to observe the truce, with Canton, so long as it is strictly adhA e ed to by the Chinese authorities; but he threatens active hostilities the moment they dare to violate it. His appearance in the Chinese waters created an extraordinary seilsa !ion. Ttie,British forces could not restrain their joy, and when his character was -reported in Canton tho deepest gloOm pervaded the coun cils of the. Mandarins. Time Governor of time city demanded a conference—a summons which Capt. ELLIOT TRIM have run a•hundred leagues In breathless haste to obey—but Sir 11. POTTINGER declined the interview,and referred the Governor o his Secretary, thropgh whom he was to com municate all proposals which he wished to make to the Plenipotentiary. On receiving this in timation the Governor was greatly dismayed. He found that he had now an officer to deal with who was not to .be fooled after the ELLIOT fashion. The expedition - was• preparing to proceed northward to Chusan and the mouth of the Peiho, and such was the terror of the Chinese that it was reported that so much as twenty millions of dollars were offered to Sir H. POTTINGER if he would not undertake it. The offer was, as might be expected, indignantly refused, and the preparations continued. The substance of Lord PALMERSTON'S instruc- tions to Sir H. POTTINGER appeared in our columns with the news brought by the last over land mail, and from the first acts of the new Plenipotentiary, we have no doubt that he will execute them firmly, vigorously, and de cisively. As questions of foreign policy ought never to be made party questions at home, we trust that the Tory Government will not interfere with the excellent plan laid down by Lord PA LMERSTON for settling our disputes with the Celestials. From the whole tenor of the instructions delivered by his Lordship to Sir H. POTTINGER, it is clear that he wholly dis approved of the conduct of ELLIOT from the commencement; and that, but for an influence as potent as it was injuriously exercised, that luckless functionary would have been recalled the instant the first details of the opium dispute were known in this country. But the bungling of ELLIOT ) will teach a lesson to his successors which the dullest of them will never dare to for get. Thus there is no evil out of which some good may not conic. As for the ex-Plenipotentiary, he arrived at Bombay from China on the 26 th of Sep tember, and is now on his way to England, in modest expectation, we presume, of re ceiving the thanks of the two Houses of Parliament for his paper exploits before Can ton. Fortunately some of his " Special Edicts," have preceded him, so that from them Parlia- ment may learn to acquit itself handsomely with out the omission ofany of his high-sounding titles From his last to the people of Canton beginning the fulminatory part with " Now A GREAT MINISTER," the clerks of the Lords and Commons will find ample materials for their guidance. How we regret that there is no gar ter vacant to grace the leg of the conqueror of Lux, in the art of penning exterminating edicts ! For the details of the news from India we re er our readers to our extracts from the Anglo- Endian Papers. Some few days ago the Morning Post invoked punishment on us for advocating certain opinions distasteful to the Post. That journal may learn from an extract of the Anti-Bread-tax Circular, which we insert elsewhere, that if its masters should act on its suggestion, they will have to punish no inconsiderable portion of the commu nity. " Similar views to those put forth by The Sun are rapidly," it is said, " taking hold of the public mind. There is an increasing distrust spreading as to abolishing the corn mo nopoly by peaceful means. Suggestions pour in on us from many parts, in favour of all sorts of schemes for accomplishing our object." We have ourselves received seve ral such suggestions, and one within the week, which is only a revival of a similar suggestion formerly made—to import bread ready-made from the Channel Islands and the neighbouring Continent. In fact, a Society is established for the very purpose of collecting funds to evade the law ; and, however striking may be the resem blance between such conduct and what the lawyers call treason and rebellion, we are well persuaded that they will not prosecute those who have formed the Society. The truth is, that in this case the law is so undisguisedly the enact men t of a small selfish class, neither for the pub lic benefit nor for the advantage of the Throne— it is so avowedly a violation of all the principles on which law-makers venture to ask the obedi- ence of a people, that the most aristocratic law yers would shrink from prosecuting the oppressed and plundered people for evading and resisting such an abominable enactment. We believe, therefore, that those who denounce the law, and those who take measures to evade it, 'trill be safe from prosecution, though it be recommended by the Post. Although cramped by statutes, where they impose no specific rule, the Judges follow com mon sense as the basis of common law. The indictments brought before them run some what in this fashion, "to injury of her MAJESTY, her crown and dignity, and the interests of the realm ;" and it would puzzle the most acute lawyer to show how rescuing her MAJESTY'S sub jects from starvation, and her realm from disorder, would be injurious to her crown and dignity. The enactments of the aristocracy, abusing the authority of Parliament and the confidence of the people, are clearly distinct from laws for the public benefit, such as those for the defence of the nation and the punishment of crime, and no earthly power will ever obtain for both equal obedience and respect. We believe that the Judges would make that distinction and be care ful, for the sake of preserving the authority of the law, not to stretch it to punish resistance to a sorry specimen of class legislation. A day or two ago the Herald remarked that the Anti-Corn-law League had made the Corn ques tion one of life or death to the aristocracy. We beg to correct our Contemporary : the aristo cracy have made the Corn-laws a question of lite or death to the people. They are, by their ob stinate maintenance of cruel injustice, forcing the people to choose between starvation and the overthrow of the aristocracy, and it is not diffi cult to foresee what will be their choice. All Government, even that of the most renowned monarchies, rests on opinion. The SULTAN, it was long ago remarked, may, by the help of his janissaries, tyrannize over the rest of his subjects, but he must lead them by their opinions. If our landed aristocracy persist, therefore, in out raging opinion, we may with unerring certainty predict their fate. They have less to plead in excuse than the French aristocracy, and they have been warned in vain. They are aware of the consequence of their oppression, for they have had the expe rience of the French Revolution. They know much of what their precursors in France were ignorant. Great teachers have been vouchsafed to them, who long ago pointed out the terrible effects of such selfish monopolies as they persist in maintaining. Their 'ignorance or their obsti nacy is without excuse ; and, should they meet the fate of the French Noblesse, no man will pity them. More selfish and sordid conduct was never beheld than that of the owners of tithes and rent. Not content with an assured income, while many of those whose labours produce it are not certain of a living from day to day, they scandalously tax the bread and restrain the ho nest industry of the people, to increase their own possessions. Were such a violation of all decorum and all justice not to meet with punish ment, mankind would deem the moral govern ment of the world abandoned, and each man would feel himself justified in being an oppressor, a tyrant, and a robber to the extent of his means. We have no space to make any comments on the report of the excellent meeting to comme morate the acquittal of HORNE TOOKE, HARDY, and THELWALL, which appears in another part of The s un . It has fully answered our expecta tions, and has Zone the cause of liberty good service. ------ Ali We concede to the masons the right of quit ting the service of any master they dislike from any cause. We admit also, that they act within the bounds of right, and with moderation, w h en they fairly represent to other masons what they consider objectionable in the conduct of any master, and so induce them not to work for him. But we cannot concede to them, nor to any men, the right to dictate to a master, or to any other man, whom he shall employ. That is interfering with his business and his property. Admitting that the masons have a right to re fuse to work for Messrs. GRISELL and PETO on account of the tyranny of Mr. ALLEN, and a right to endeavour, by fair representations, to persuade other masons not to work for them, they have no right to denounce those whom their representations cannot influence; as dogs, and recommend that, like dogs, they be deprived of shelter. Such language and conduct are not moderate and just, and can only have :the effect of making the public inimical to the masons. Nor can we think the masons are prudent in commencing a sort of war against certain news papers which do not happen to coincide exactly with them. If a Journal acted unfairly towards them, if it stifled all their complaints, and mis represented and vilified their conduct, they would be justified 'in 'refusing to countenance or circu late it; but they go too far when they interfere with all the houses which use Journals obnoxious to them. They should take care lest, from some trade interest, or trade jealousy, they bespatter a newspaper to serve the cause of its rival. In giving a fair report of their proceedings, we are bound to say that we give no countenance to those parts of their conduct which are im proper. Their errors may, indeed, find excuse and apology in the conduct of other men, but they should be above imitating a bad example. To defend the rights of industry is in our estima tion most praiseworthy, but to be successful, and to enlist moderate men on its side, it must be strictly a defence, and must not pass into an in , vasion of other men's rights. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The increasing scarcity of money has at last occasioned, in combination with the China news, - a tem porary re-action in the prices of Stock, for although the Canton news is called satisfactory in some respects, it is certainly not yet decisive, except so , fur as Consols for immediate transfer were quoted 89 to 884, closing at:881 to 886. F o r Account the prices were 884 to 89. India Bonds were 1 to 2 premium, Bank Stock remained firm at 165 to 1654, and India Stock at 247. The New Three and-a-Half per Cents were 99 to 984, and the Three per Cents. 874 to 874. The Foreign Market was very inanimate. Spanish Active Stock did not go higher than 214 tot ; Portu guese Three per Cents. were at 18; Peruvian at 131 to 14; Colombian at 191 ; Brazilian at 57*, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 511 to 1, being all a shade lower. In Shares a good deal of business was transacted, and generally they fully supported the improvement of the last day or two. Great Western Railway Shares closed . at 14, the New at 61 ; London and Birmingham at 68, the New at 221• ' South Western at 134, and York and North Midland New 124 premium ; Brighton were 13 ; Blackwell 16, and Croydon 2 discount. Australasia Bank Shares were 11 ; London and Westminster 11, and Provincial of Ireland 154 premium. The Market for the Foreign Exchanges was steady, but not at an improvement upon 'T'uesday's rates. On Paris three months' bills were negociated at 25f. 651 e. to 70c., on Amsterdam at 12 44; on Antwerp at 12 34 to 4; on Frankfort at 1494; on llamburgh at 13 104, and Ull Trieste 9 54 to 55. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 4.—The sales of Cotton to-day scarcely realise 2,000 bales. The Market is exceedingly heavy, and prices for the descriptions sold, chiefly American, have a further declining ten dency. Common qualities sid. to 6d. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, Nov. 4.—London and Birmingham, 321. Shares, 214 ; New ditto, 24 ; North Midland Thirds, 144. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, Nov. 4.—We have to-day had a good inquiry for Railway Stock, and the Market generally closes firm; a fair amount of business done and very little Stock offering at the close. London and South Western, 52; Manchester and Leeds, Quarter Shares, 21. 15s. 3d. to 21. Iss. 24d.; Bank or Manches ter, 4L 18s. 9d.; Manchester Assurance, 9 to 94; Man chester and Salford Water Works, 54 to 544. The most important information brought by the Over land Mail is the notification issued by Sir H. Pottin ger, which has given general satisfaction in the City, but has produced no effect on the stock Market. Consols opened a 1 884 89 for Money, and 894 for the Account ; Bank Stock 1644 1654 ; Spanish Active Stock 2144 ; Passive 44 5 ; Deferred 1014 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 291 30 ; Litto Threes 184. Very little business doing. The Hamburg Mail, with letters and papers of Tues day, has just arrived. Exchange on London continues to decline ; the last quotation is 13 144 ; Gold steady at 248. The English Stock Market has become flat and heavy since the opening. Consols have receded to 88 for Money, and 884 for the Account ; India Bonds are 2 1 prem. ; Bank Stock, 165 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 874 4 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 97i Very little business doing in the Foreign Market. Brazilian Bouds are .574 ; Colombian Bonds, 191 ' • Por tuguese Three per Cents., 1 8 ; Spanish Active Stock, 214 214 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 511 511. Very little business doing in Shares. London and Brighton, 364 ; London and Blackwell, 91 ; London and Birmingham, 158 ; Ditto, New, 244 4 ; South Western, 521; York a north Midland, New 1 Shares, 27, 4, The Paris Journals of Wednesday have been received. We have only space to-day for the following extracts from them : The Regent of Spain has sent orders to the agent of his Government to grant passports to all the non commissioned-officers, soldiers, and peasants, who, after being seduced by O'Donnell and the other insurgent Chiefs, have taken refuge in France. This, however, is not to be applied to such persons as had previously been in the Carlist ranks, nor those who had entered Spain before under the amnesty, and have now, there fore, been guilty of a second offence.—Constitutionntl. The Phare de Bayonne of , Monday has the following: —" All the Spanish refugees who were at Marrae have already been sent off to their ultimate destination. Ge nerals and other officers of all ranks, to the number of 534, have received passports for various depots in the interior." A letter which we have received from Toulon, dated 29th October, says—" The captains of the Scipion, Ju piter, Suffren, and Tulen, have received orders to dis charge the scrvitorS of the levy of 1831, and those who have served 48 months. This measure, which is also applied to the ships at anchor, or in the road, is actu ally carrying into execution, and we are now afraid than it will be extended to the seamen who have served thirty-six months. Thus between 7,000 and 8,000 men will be discharged. This is equivalent to disarming. A remarkable circumstance however is, that it seems to be intended to keep the ships in good condition. The Montebello, which it was said was to be disarmed , ha s just changed one of its masts. On the other hand, the Coronne is going to be brought into the basin. We have also remarked that the Government, while it authorised the seamen to enter the merchant service, gives them notice that they are liable to be recalled in three months, that is to say in the month of March. All these circumstances prevent us from clearly understand ing the intentions of the Ministry. At all events the fleet cannot possibly act during this winter. We shall not know till the Chambers meet whether the disarming is positively decided.—Commerce. BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 3. Both Markets are flat and heavy. Consols arc 88i for Money, and 884 for Account ; Spanish Active Stock, Consols, Money, 881 4 ; Do. Account, 884 ; Mcmi • can, 25-1 ; Spanish, 21i 1. Much attention has been excited by the intelligence per Overland Mail ; but it has caused no excitement. The Tea Market is very quiet upon it, and prices have ruled steady at the public sales this morn ing. Opinions are divided as to whether the pre sent r.►tes will be maintained, or what may be the ac ual extent of the imports. The East India Markets present no new feature. Goods sold rather freely, but at low prices. Money was expected to be easier. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pricy. Pries.

On occasion of this appointment the Antigua Herald expresses itself as follows :—" We are too well pleased with the appoint ment announced in last Tuesday's Register to allow it to pass without giving it our unqualified assent. Whether we view it as a valuable precedent, or as the means of admission to one of the highest colonial titles of a highly respected member of the class to which we belong, we unhesitatingly pronounce it to be the most important ap pointment that has yet been made by the Lieutenant- Governor during his administration of the general go vernment."—[llappening to be well acquainted with the gentleman mentioned in the paragraph, we are bound to say that no individual could be more deserving of the honour bestowed on him. A more unassuming, mild gen tleman, well informed on all matters of trae and politics, it has never been our lot to meet with. The Lieut.-Governor of Barbadoes, in conferring a title and a place on Mr. Athill has done honour to his own discern ment.—ED. Sun.] A RECENT DISCOVERY OF JEWELS in the Exchequer Office has been the subject of much conversation during the last week. The treasure found is said to be of con siderable value, and, according to all appearances, it has been hid for 150 years—plainly, for more than a century. 'rho most probable surmise is, that the jewels were pledged in the reign either of Charles 11. or James IL, Princes who observed no remarkable regularity in their financial operations. We have no inclination to enter into a controversy with the Shipping Gazette, which has great merit in wishing to promote the welfare of the mercantile marine. We should regret; therefore, that an incidental remark of ours had led our Contemporary into a long disserta tion on the subject of providing some test for the quali fication of masters of merchant vessels, were it not that it has furnished him with an additional opportunity of explaining and enforcing his views. We are at least not at present disposed to combat them, and willingly leave him to enjoy the field he has cultivated. EXTREME MEASURES. The Sun newsl•aper has startled the monopolist journals by advocating the doctrine that the people are the proper judges whether a law ought to be obeyed, and that the Corn-law, being murderous in its consequences, ought to be evaded, or if possible resisted. The Sun puts the matter entirely on the ground that the Cog n law violates the great principles of right upon which all society is founded, the right of every man to live by the sweat of his brow. There can be no doubt of the truth of this position. We should deem it meritorious to evade the Corn-law, and if, to-morrow, we could land a million barrels of flour on our coasts, and deliver it to the starving operatives of Yorkshire and Lancashire, free of the landlord's tax, we should consider ourselves not merely justified in rendering so great a service to the cause of humanity, but actually performing a duty to the God of justice, who has declared in his sacred volume, that the food of the whole earth was created for the use of all mankind. The Sun puts the question of resistance to the Corn law as a matter of expediency only ; the people being left to decide whether they are able to resist it success fully. By " the people" we presume our Contemporary means something more than the great majority of the people. There can be no doubt that five-sixths of the community aro opposed to the Corn-law. Would The Sun then counsel rebellion ? Nothing of the kind. That able and excellent Journal knows very well that some thing more than numerical strength is required. We mnst have a large preponderance of the mind, the wealth, and the religions feeling of the country on our side, to which ,point we are fast approaching, and then we shall be able to resist the Corn-laws, not by rebellion, but by the more effectual means of abolishing them. We have formerly called in question the right of the landowners to make a monopoly of the first necessaries of life. Monopolies, by the Sovereign, were declared illegal by the highest authorities more than a century ago. They were, in consequence, wholly abolished, and if our present monarch were to attempt to revive the system, it would be perfectly legal in her subjects to re sist her authority in that particular, and the judges would give to such resistance the sanction of law. The time is, we trust, not far distant when it will be held equally a violation of the law of the land for the land lords, or any other class, to do what the Queen is pro hibited from doing. As the Monopolist journals appear to be somewhat fluttered by the doctrines put forth by The Sun, we must take the opportunity of telling them that similar views are rapidly taking hold of the public mind. There is an increasing distrust spreading, as to the possibility of abolishing the corn monopoly by peaceful means. Sug gestions pour in upon us from many parts in favour of all sorts of schemes for accomplishing our object. One of the greatest dangers to which the patrons of the Morning Post and the other honest advocates of monopoly (we do not include the hectoring Times in the number) are exposed, is their profound ignorance of the state of public opinion. They would do well to regard the doc trines so ably advocated by The Sun, however distasteful, as the opinions of a large and continually increasing body of the community.—Anti-Breud• tax Circular. THE ILLNESS OF TIIE QUEEN DOWAGER.— The continued illness of her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and the cautiously worded but still alarming bulletins which are daily issued, have created general apprehensions that her Majesty is in a state which justifies serious ap prehensions fo r th e resu lt. We hive reason to believe that such is of disease of th e l ungs , t o obtain relief from which her really the case. The s y m p toms indicative Majesty visited Germany for the benefit of her native air two or three years since, with considerable benefit, have again manifested themselves in a more decided form. The accessions of fever and the frequent recurrence of a distressing cough, preventing sleep, so essen tial to the exhausted patient, have reduced her Majesty's system to a state of extreme debilitude. We do not make this statement on slight grounds, and shall be happy, on the same authority on which we make it, to announce a favourable change. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER G, 1841. rg ‘4 4 Ni gia AND 'tit Optu " Who tuns may read." rORMIGN. important flev.'.3 from China will be found in another part, of The Sun. Sir 11. Pottinger, the new Plenipotentiary, had arrived at Hong rong, where he was waking preparations for right manfully vindi cating the honour of the British naive. On the 26th of September " Plenipotentiary"' Elliot and Sir J. J. Gor don Breiner arrived at Bombay, and are on their way to 'England. Are there any of the Tower guns left to salute as he passes up the Thames Commissioner Lin's illus trious prisoner ? Would it be, too much on the part of the people of England to request that the " great officer" who Ao amused and out-Heroded the Chinese by the enumeration of .his titles, would condescend to pen an official announcement of his arrival in the metropolis, that we might tax our poor ingenuity to receive him with all becoming honour ? The genius of Grub-street will have in his arrival a theme worthy of its brightest soar- ings in the region of Parnassus. - Espartero has granted a free pardon to such Spanish non-commissioned oilleen, soldiers, and peasants as during the late insurrection did not stain themselves with acts of individual atrocity. Passports are to be given to such of them as took refuge in France, permitting their return to Spain. This measure is equally politic and humane. The stubbornness of the Basques will be best subdued by such unexampled lenity. From 7,000 to 8,000 men of the naval force of France are to be discharged. This is an earnest of the pacific intentions of France. . The acquittal of 3l'Leod is noticed in nearly all the French journals. The Debats concludes an article, in which it rejoices that a war has been prevented, as fol lows:—" We are of opinion that the English Govern ment has followed the only proper course. It treated the question according to international laws, and has succeeded in effecting a pacific solution. We do not pronounce any opinion here as to the question of fact ; we merely take into consideration the simple question of form. We do not take up the cause of the English Government against that of the United. States; we, rather advocate the cause of the Cen- tral Government of America against the agitating pre dominance of the local authorities. The doctrine of States' rights, as it is understood by certain parties in America, is subversive of all international right. • If Municipal Councils were to arrogate to themselve the right of deciding on peace or war ; if the most insig nificant Mayory of the most :insignificant commune of the most insi g nificant State were to usurp the prero gatives of the Executive, there must be an end of all regular and established relations between the nations of the globe." The Constitutionnel says :—" As to France, she had no interest in seeing the United States and England at war. France would, indeed, have been bound to limit her action to insuring, in the most solid way possible, the neutrality of her flag, and to protecting neutrals ; but the tranquillity of the seas suits us much better. The acquittal of M'Leod will, therefore, cause real satis faction in France." The National admits that an immediate cause for war has been removed by the acquittal of M'Leod ; but it takes care that the reader shall not lie under the mistake of supposing that it would be shocked at seeing the two countries tearing each other to pieces. The National re joices at the acquittal, because it prevents a war in which England would have all the right on her side. It observes—" We did not desire the .war , which has just been averted. In the state to which things had arrived, the appearance of ' right would have been too much on the side of the English. She could not, without dishonour, have permitted M'Leod to be hanged. By going to war for such a cause, she would have been cure not to have had public feeling in Europe against her ; and it is not for us, who have so frequently complained of the criminal cowardice of our Govern ment in abandoning on all points, and at all times, the interests, fortunes, and lives of our fellow-countrymen abroad,--it is not for us, we say, to blame our neighbours for showing a susceptibility, which, on the contrary, we should have rather been disposed to regard as having been too tardy. We do not then, at this moment, desire a collision between England and the United States of America; because, in the event of a war, we think it would be of use that the British Government should neither have right, nor the appearance of right, on its side." The Presse states that the trial of M'Leod, in despite of the wishes of the Central Government, is a striking instance of the defects of the American Constitution, by showing that at each instant the passions of the smallest States may lord it over the federal authority. PITIMIC OPINION._ The Morning Herald, after ringing the changes on Lord Ellenborough's statesmanlike qualities, proceeds to observe:—" The country anticipates much from Lord Ellenborough's government, and great, indeed, will be the national disappointment should that Government fail in developing the resources of India, in confirming and strengthening British influence over the native mind, and in raising the character of the natives themselves; Christianity, civilisation, and commerce are alike deeply interested in his Lordship's success or failure. That success will prolong our dominion over the most glorious dependency ever possessed by any European nation; that failure will tend to disassociate the eastern and western portions of the globe." — Lord Ellenborough is undoubtedly an intelligent man, but we are • not aware that the country: anticipates any extraordinary amount of benefit from his Indian legisla tion. lie has done nothing as yet, whether in. Parlia ment or out, to warrant such anticipation. No great public measure calls him its originator. No enlarged or generous principle of policy has found in him an expo sitor. He 'is nothing more than a dexterous Tory statesman of the red tape school; and the exaggerated raises of the Ministerial Journals are perfectly ridicu us. A mole-hill is not, and never can be, a mountain. The Times, speaking of the blessings of Tory Go vernment—which, like the longitude, are yet to be discovered—remarks as follows :—" In no part of the kingdom will the truth of this remark be more power fully felt than in Ireland. Not a single important benefit, but, on the contrary, much practical mischief, have the inhabitants of that country derived from Whig sway. Their very Corporation Bill, on the operation of which they are now entering, with O'Connell as Lord Mayor of Dublin, was passed in its present form by the Conservative party, irre spective of probable temporary results unfavourable to Conservative views. Well was it foreseen what the certain effect of that Bill would be, in filling the Town Councils of Ireland with Roman Ca holie Radicals. • But the Conservative leaders generously trusted the Irish people. No mean party jealousies did they permit to interfere with their sense of duty. The question, therefore, now is, will this magnanimous con fidence be reciprocated by those who have beep its ob jects ? Will the people of Ireland, that gallant, noble, and warm hearted people, refuse their confidence to the only Government that can really do them service—a Government, the head of which, besides having con ferred on them their best boons in former days, has re cently enlarged their liberties with no niggard hand, and is now literally courting opportunities, consistent with the dignity and duties of his position, to prove himself their firm . and impartial benefactor." — It was but the other day that the Times abused the Irish people in the grossest language it could find. They were then " aliens," " savages,' " bigots;" now, it sews, they are "gallant," " noble," " warm-hearted." Unlike the 2Ethiop and the leopard, they have wholly changed their skin and their spots ; and have become all dint our Contemporary could desire to see them. And this marvellous change has taken place within the month, for it is not longer since the Times bespattered them with its muddy Billingsgate ! Possibly, in a few days, should Ireland exhibit a natural distrust of Earl de Grey's Go vernment, our weather-cock Contemporary will revert to' its old opinion, and again denounce the ignorance and• brutality of the Irish people. As . for the magnanimity . of the Tories, of whom it speaks in such inflated terms of panegyrics, where is it, when was it shown, when will it ever be shown ? Has Ireland, in particular, ever benefited by it ? Read the history of that country, and you will find the answer written in characters of blood and flame I Proclamations of martial-law—penal statutes without number—Church exactions—partial justice, with its accompaniments of hangings, torturings, floggings ; these are the things• that speak trumpet-tongued to the magnanimity of the Tories towards Ireland ! In reference to the exulting terms in which the High Churchmen proclaimed the advent of the present Minis try to power, the Chronicle observes :—" Jo Triumphe ' has been chaunted over Popery and free trade. The banners of salvation and starvation have floated,together on the breeze. Whiggism fell before the war cry of the Church and no cheap bread. And how does the firebrand section of High Church Protestants like its success ? Where is the golden fruit it hoped to gather? What have its champions done to atone for previous recreancy, to improve the victory, and to repay the political effer vesence of religious zeal that restored them to power ? The Maynooth grant has been repeated. No symptoms yet appear of the repeal of Catholic Eniancipation. :The peni tence of the Duke and Sir Robert, publicly and clerically vouched for, ;has evinced itself by no overt act."— Mother Church has of late greatly lowered her tone, and is by no means so certain of the support, sympathy, and uncompromising integrity of the Tory Government, as she was some months ago. She discovers now that she has been shouting before she was out of. the wood ; and has yet to discover that a Tory Minister is no re specter of pledges, when those pledges happen to mili tate against his interest. Sir Robert will uphold the Church no further than may suit his views of expe diency. By this, and this only, will his conduct be in fluenced. As for fixed principle, it is out of the ques tion. As well may you expect to find the bump of con scientiousness in a lawyer, as sterling, inflexible prin ciple in a Tory Minister. When the Bishop of Exeter gets back his long-coveted rectory of Stanhope, then will a Tory statesman fling expediency to the winds; and take principle as his sole rule of action. The Derby .Repoy ter remarks, in reference to the late municipal elections in that town :—" The Tories threw down the gauntlet, with the double object of first gain ing power in the Corporation, and, if possible, subse quently returni ng a T ory Member or Members to the House of Commons. Consequently the burgesses — placing no trust in the polities of Conservatives, and anxious to deliver their interests to the keeping of Re formers, with whose sentiments they agreed—broke through all considerations of private regard, and gave the victory to public opinion. In thus acting, they have only taken a leaf out of the Tamworth Quack'S book of prescriptions." The Dublin Pilot says :—" Old Lefroy—the man who proved himself too bad' even for the Tory Duke of Northumberland—is to have a seat on the Bench, vice old Johnson, resigned. Sir Robert Peel's representatives in Ireland have done many foolish things during their brief possession of office ; but the elevation of Leiroy— COURT CIRCULAR .

The fifth anniversary of the London Maritime Insti attion was celebrated on Thursday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate•street, where upwards of sixty fiatal and mercantile gentlemen sat down to dinner. Sir George Cockburn filled the chair. The Mikes of Marlborough and Wellington, on their visiting the Tower on Thursday, were observed accidentally viewing at the same time the smouldering embers of the trophies from the two great fields of Blenheim and Waterloo. LAW A 14113 POLICE. In the Court of Admiralty on Thursday, a suit was brought, at the instance of the Crown, against the steam vessel the Duke of Sussex, belonging to the Commercial Steam-packet Company; for damage done to her Ma jesty's steam vessel Lightning, on the 3d of January, 1841. The vessels came in collision, and both were damaged ; the Lightning to the amount of 301., and the Duke of Sussex 461. The officer in command of the Queen's steamer acted on the rule laid down by the Tri nity-house, that vessels on different courses should put their helms a port when there is a risk of collision, while the Duke of Sussex put her helm to starboard. The Trinity Masters were of opinion. that the Duke of Sussex was in the wrong, and the Court pronounced for the damage. It will be seen from the Bow-street report, that Smith, late principal clerk in the Exchequer Bill-office, was fully committed to take his trial for forgery. Mr. Gundry, whose name is so well known at the Marlborough-street' Police-office, was -brought up on Thursday for further examination, when the Magistrate discharged the prisoner, but he was no sooner outside the office than he was inside a coach, and conducted to a pri vate asylum at Kensington, ECCLESIASTICAL. A meeting of the Protestant Association took place on Thursday, at Exeter Hall, to commemorate the discover} , and prevention of the Gunpowder Plot. One of the speakers . said :—" He was born on the banks. of the Boyne, where it was the custom of mothers to bathe their children in the waters of the river, to imbue them more perfectly with the pure principles of Protestantism. So deeply had he been impressed with these principles, that the only tune lie could ever learn was ' Protestant Boys,' and the only toast he knew was The glorious, pious, and immortal memory.' LITERARY AND SCIENTWIC. A new democratic - Journal in the Italian language, has been started at Monte Video, in South America : it is gratuitously supported by the refugees and merchants of the place: At a recent sitting of the Paris Academy of Sciences, M.

The level of the water had that day experienced a difference of five feet nine inches in the space of two hours and a half. The public examinations at the University of Oxford commenced on th® Ist inst. The number of Under. graduates who have given in their names is 203. SPOUTING. A pike was caught on Tuesday last in a pond at God stone, Surrey, by Mr. Thomas Weller, which weighed 301b5., and measured 2 feet round the middle and 3 feet 10 inches in length. On Thursday last 26 woodcocks were shot in the neighbourhood of Workington, by three Cumberland sportsmen, in a few hours. The hare-warrens in England do not number more than three or four : the largest is that of the Marquis of Hertford, where the hares became so numerous about three years agO, that it was necessary to destroy the greater part for the preservation of the remainder. The late constant wet weather has greatly injured these warrens. THEATRICAL. Paul de Kock's novels are being dramatised , at every theatre in France.

"„Yesterday was the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, discovered in 1605. At the present day an ancient lantern is shown at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, stated to be the identical lantern of Fawkes, discovered in the cellar. The conspirators were thirteen in number, whose intent was, "suddenly and with one blast, to blow up and tear in pieces" the King and Parliament. Two were killed, and eight executed. Louis Philippe's chateau at Eu lies about seven leagues (18 miles) from Dieppe. The principal architectural embellishments were made, by la grande Mademoiselle, during the period of her exile from the Court of Louis XIV. on account of her refusal to espouse the King of Portugal. The park and gardent are her. work, and she also formed the magnificent collection of marbles and pictures which now adorn the chateau. The fire in the western angle of the Great Armoury was raging the whole of Thursday evening up to ten o'clock, at the Tower. The regalia and jewels have been conveyed to Messrs. Rundle and Bridge's for safe custody. The inquiry at the Ordnance department was proceeding with all day on Thursday, and was re sumed at ten o'clock yesterday morning. 150,000 copies of a little pamphlet, containing a de scription of the Tower fire have been sold on Tower-hill within these three days. We understand that the Lord Mayor of Dublin, though he speaks in high terms of praise of tha virtue, patriotism, and intelligence of the great Repeal Agitator, indignantly disclaims his acquaintance. They are not even on speaking terms. The steam-packets between Hull and Sweden will cease running, according to the Postmaster-General's order, after November the 13th inst. The next mails for Malta, Greece, and the lonian Isles, via Falmouth, leave on the 13th inst., and for Egypt and India on the 30th. Thursday a sale took place of the extensive workshops and other erections lately belonging to Mr. Smith, tim ber-merchant in the Belvedere-road, Lambeth, in order that the ground may be cleared immediately, for the purpose of forming the approaches to the suspension fcot-bridge across the Thames from that spot to Hunger ford Market. At a meeting of the Zoological Society, held on Thurs day, it appeared from the Report, that the clear balance in hand was 7471. 6s. sd. The visitors to the Gardens in September were 13,604, and in October, 6,067. Lambeth Chapel is a very ancient building, having been founded in the year 1169. The Palace was built in 1184. The late George Colman, speaking of a stout, elderly lawyer, described him as being like .'• two single gentle men rolled into one." Mr. O'Connell just reverses this description, for he is " one single gentleman rolled into two,"—viz., Lord Mayor and Repeal Agitator. SACRE}) HARMONIC SOCIETY. EXETER HALL. Spohr's oratorio of the "Last Judgment" was repeated last evening if possible with greater effect than at its first performance. This is, indeed, a mighty work of genius. It is a translation into the only universal language common alike to men and angels—Music : a theme the excess of the sublimity of which renders it utterly inexpressible in any particular articulate lan guage. Grateful do we feel to the Sacred Harmonic Society for the treat they have afforded to the London musical public. Haydn's Third Mass, called in the pro gramme, Haydn's Third Service, preceded the perform ance of the oratorio, and was admirably performed. The Hall was as usual crowded. BRIGHTON, Nov. 5. Several complaints having been made to the Post master-General of the loss of letters directed to various parties in Brighton, some of which contained money, Mr. Ramsay, one of the inspectors of the General Post office, was dispatched to Brighton to endeavour to find out the guilty parties. On his arrival he obtained the assistance of the Brighton police, and searched the whole of the clerks, sorters, and letter-carriers. Au officer was then dispatched to each of their residences, and a strict search made. One of the carriers has been suspended, although there is no direct evidence to fix any of the parties with the robberies. Notices have been fre quently issued, cautioning parties against sending let ters containing money, without either registering, or availing themselves of the facilities fur obtaining a money order.
