THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. Mr. MACREADY respectfully informs the public that he bas en'ered upon a lease of this Theatre, with the intention of endeavouring to restore its legitimate Dramatic representations. He begs to add, that circumstances, incidental to the pre sent season, compel him to defer its opening beyond the cus tomary period; but he trusts, that the disadvantages of this postp.mement will he in part counteracted by the measures which the interim will enable him more completely to realise, and of which he is anxious to make the earliest announcement. The purpose of his previous Management is already knawn. The same vur7ose, that of " advancing the Drama as a branch of National Literature and Art" by enact ro4ard to the com pleteness of its effects, will be steadfastly kept in view. No pains or expense will be spared in the selection of the Company, and engagements have been already concluded with many eminent Performers. The series of Shakespeare's Plays will be illustrated with uniform correctness, and, as far as possible, will be produced in strict fidelity to the Poet's text, with all needful appliances of scenic iliusion ; whilst the most liberal invitations and induce ments are tendered for the contributions of living dramatists. In a similar spirit Mu-ic will be associated with those aids of the picturesque in scenery and action, that peculiarly belong , to it in its dramatic form, and the utmost attention and encou ragement given, to improve, in genuine English Opera, a school o art. The purposes to which the Saloons and Lobbies of London Theatres have been too frequently appropriated, have seemed to justify objections to Dramatic glitertainments, and have be come a national reproach among the well-informed of other countries. This cause of complaint will not be suffered to exist in Drury Lane Theatre. Arrangements will be made and regulations enforced, not only to secure the respectable frequent ers of the Theatre from annoyance during the performance, but to restore to them an agreeable resort for promenading and refreshment, without danger of offence to propriety or delicacy. The accommodation for the Visitors to the Pit will be ex tended and improved. Upon the consideration, that a National Theatre should be esteemed in relation to its influence on Literature and taste, rather than as a mercantile speculation, the lowest scale possible will be adopted in determining the Prices of Admis sion. Full confidence is entertained that the conduct of the establishment, and not the price, will be taken as the criterion of its claim to public favour. In effect, the principle of its direction through every de partment will be an endeavour to demonstrate, that the exclu sive Patent of a Theatre is a a delegated trust for the interests of the Drama, and the advr.ntage cf the Public. The Theatre will be opened on MONDAY", December 27. Oct. 4th, 1841. THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN. U'IDER the MANAGEMENT of MADAME VESTRIS.

Alp A short, but interesting debate took place in the House of Commons on Wednesday even ing, in reference to the conduct of Government in undertaking the new office of examiner of signatures to petitions. It appears that a peti tion, signed by no less than 2,058 persons, was sent from Tarnworth, to be presented to her Ma jesty against the prorogation of Parliament. Mr. VILLIERS, to whom it was sent, placed it in the hands cf Sir J. GRAHAM, to be laid before her MAJESTY. Such a petition was extremely displeasing to Sit It. P EEL. His policy was repudiated by a large portion of his own con stituency and, at his instigation, we presume, Sir J. GRAHAM sent the petition down to Tam worth, to have an investigation, on the spot, into :-, :I THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1841 the signatures. Sir R. PEEL used to be called telegraphic despatch published by the French L:_lko of , 2ad; but, the state of is nobody so low, according to the old sa j Navarre:— but somebody is lower, the Duke's cad has found a cad in Sir J. GRAHAM, and the cad's cad did the dirty job of ascertaining who of all the Premier's neighbours had lifted up a voice against him. The result of the inquiry, though very rigid, was, that of the whole 2,058 names, only about 30 were of a doubtful character. The tools of the Government who undertook the investigation could ascertain who every subscriber was, except about thirty. Few petitions, nume rously signed, could come so well out of such an ordeal. Accordingly Sir JAMES GRA HAM, after making the investigation, did not think himself authorised, he said, to withhold the petition from her MAJESTY. If, however, he had found any pretext for it, he would have withheld it; his assertion that he had not, imply ing that he thinks he has the right to stop any petition on its way to the Throne. We do not object to an investigation into the signatures of petitions ; on the contrary, that is frequently necessary, to keep away improper signatures. The parties, however, to make the investigation are not the Secretary of State, nor is it to be done by his orders, unless some recla mation be made, but the neighbours and persons on the spot interested in not being misrepre sented. We are not surprised, however, that the new office of inquisitor should be assumed by the Home Secretary. Such rapid inroads have of late been made by the Government into all the departments of society that Sir JAMES GRAHAM has only, we regret to say, followed the bad example which has been set him. In our country the Govern ment, whatever it might have been, is now no thing more and nothing, better than an instru ment to serve the ourposes of a party, and whoever gets hold of it uses it to that end. At the same time we must say that Sir J GRAHAM'S conduct is not conformable to custom. At least he ought have communicated his sus picions and his intentions to the gentleman who placed the petition in his hands, even if he were not disposed, as is generally the case, to rely im plicitly on the honour of those—if they be known and responsible persons—who place petitions in the hands of the Home Secretary. We have now, then, a political inquisition; we shall soon have, probably, a censorship of the press and the pass port system ; and then we shall have a Govern ment in conformity with the pattern Govern, ments of the Continent. The French Government, on the 6th instant, received the following telegraphic dispatch : "Bayonne, Oct. 5. " THE SUB•PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " The Captain-General Ribeiro is still at Pampeluna. The National Guard obeys him. O'Donnell is in the citadel : they watch each other's movements. General Ortigosa makes common cause with O'Donnell. Some defections in the army are spoken of. A part of the garrison of Estella and the Commander are said to have declared in favour of O'Donnell. The federal depu tation was to have a meeting extraordinary yesterday at Ascoi tia." The accession of the Tories to office in Eng land has quite revived the hopes of the Chrisli nos and Carlists in Spain. Already do they exult ingly dwell upon Lord PA LMERSTON'S retirement from office as an omen of victory, and quote the speeches of the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord ABERDEEN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. FENTON, Mr. PETER BORTIIWICK, Mr. MACLEA N, and Lord CA RNA RVON, in favour of Don CAR LOS, to show what they have to expect from the sympathies of the Tories now in office. The French Government evidently sup ports the designs of the Christino insurgents. In the following article from the Journal des Debats, interesting from the account which it gives of General O'DONNELL, it manifestly labours to justify the seizure of Pampeluna : It is notorious that since the protest of Maria Chris tina against the guardianship, great agitation has manifested itself in Spain, and particularly in the army. The resignation of General Palafox, Duke of Saragossa, as Commandant of the Guard, and the public manifestations of General Diego Leon and a great number of officers in favour of the Queen, indicated an approaching re-action in the army, which appears to be much disgusted with the part it has been com pelled to assume by the Exaltados of Barcelona. Ge neral Leopold O'Donnell, who has just taken possession of the citadel of Pampeluna, is the same who lately commanded the army of the centre in Valencia. Ile is of Irish origin ; his father command e d a corps d'armee in the war of independence. Three of his bro thers embraced the interests of Don Carlos. One was made prisoner and murdered by the people of Barcelona; the other, who was Commander-in-Chief of the cavalry of Don Carlos, died of his wounds during the cam paign ; the third entered the Constitutional army after the Convention of Bergara. Leopold O'Donnell first served in the Royal Guard. During the last war he was chiefly employed in Biscay and Guipuscoa, where he acquired a fair military reputation. Last year, as soon as he heard of the movement of Barce lona, and the conduct of Espartero towards the Queen, he gave in his resignation ; but the Queen, who re posed all her confidence in him, refused to accept it, and soon afterwards proceeded to Valencia to place herself under his protection. General O'Donnell remained at Va lencia, struggling with energy against the revolt which was getting up there, and commanded the army till the Queen abdicated. He has since then passed some time in France, and on returning to Spain applied for permission to retire to Bilboa,but Espartero, who was jealous of the repu tation and influence of O'Donnell in the army, fixed upon Pampeluna as his place of residence. It appears that for some time past the Regent has been uneasy as to the garrison of Pampeluna, and under the apprehension of a revolt, had sent thither troops from Castile. These were the first troops to join O'Donnell. The National Guard of Pampeluna, which remains faithful to the Go vernment, is composed of only one hundred men, who all to the party of the exaltados. The institution of the National Guard has never taken root in Navarre and the Basque Provinces, where it is considered as contrary to their fueres. General O'Donnell is a man of thirty five or thirty-six years of age, tall, and of a martial, severe air. His character is cold and reserved, but very decided." The opinions of the French Journals generally upon this affair will be found in our Summary. The following are the most interesting extracts: The responsible editor of the National has received a summons to appear before the Court of Assizes on the 22d instant for trial, upon an indictment founded on the article of 24th ult., for which it was last seized. The troops composing the camp of Compeigne b egan their march yesterday for their different cantonments. The following speech was made by the Duke de Nemours in presence of his staff and the superior officers, at the mo ment of his Royal Highness breaking up the camp : " Gentlemen,—On coming to the termination of this mili tary reunion, it gives me great pleasure to pronounce the congratulations you have merited by the good results you have obtained. These results, which must be to you the most noble reward for all your pains, are owing to your discipline, your constant zeal, and the perse vering good will which each of you has shown. Proud of having presided over your efforts, I participate in the praise and glory of your success. Several of you have added lustre to our old standards, and others have come to receive new ones from the hands of the It is very singular that the English, who, in general, are such matter-of-fact person:, should tolerate, in some of their most important con cerns, a series of fictions and mystifications that seem more like the superstition of LAMA worship than the reason which flows from obser vation. The people who object to compliments, which please individual vanity, because they are insincere, give their approbation to the most barefaced fabrications, when uttered in the name of the public. The practice of subscribing one's-self " Your humble servant," and the practice of telling servants to say you are out when you are at home, have found rigid moral ists to censure them, and both have been abated, if not abolished, by the censure. But the practice of calling the speeches delivered at the closing and opening of Parliament, by the name of the SOVEREIGN, while they are avowedly the speeches of the Ministers, is still cherished and honoured. We still, also, call those Ministers the QUEEN'S Ministers, when they are no otherwise her Ministers than they are forced into certain offices in order to procure her signature to certain measures which they, or the party which forces them into office, approve of. All kinds of deeds and actions which that party perform, however repugnant to the SOVEREIGN'S disposition, are said to be done with her approbation. She not only, as is said, appoints Lord STAN LEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM to offices, but she promises, months beforehand, that she will cordially concur in measures of which she has never heard nor dreamed. The fictions of Westminster Hall King, and have sworn with a noble spirit to remain faithful to them. Thus has been rendered sacred to all that collective existence which renders you consoli dated in honour, and which connects with the ensigns, as living symbols, your common dangers and common glory. Yea ! on this occasion the new regiments have worthily followed the examples given them by their elders. On this, as on all occasions, the army has shown itself to be the severe guardian of all those vir tues which constitute the glory and stability of nations. Modest and courageous, accustomed to seek distinc tion in the rigorous performance of your duties, you have comprehended, even in times of peace, how important your services are to the country, and you have assumed a position which gives assurance to France of respect abroad, and security at home. Happy is our country to have you for its firm and devoted defenders. For myself, gentlemen, ever proud of par taking in the labours of the army, I shall rejoice on all occasions in participating in your future destinies. May you preserve the same recollections of the time we have passed together here, which I shall bear away deeply engraved on my heart. Now, gentle men, as I must leave you, convey to your regiments, and accept for yourselves, assurances of my lively satisfaction as your Commander-in-Chief, and my attachment as your brother in arms. In separating, let us remain more than ever united in our desire to attain the noble object at which we all aim." have often been reprobated, but they are sur passed by the fictions of the State. In private life no person of common sense ever expects to obtain success or happiness by basing his conduct on fiction. Our families, our household, buying and selling, building, repair ing and pulling down, warming and ventilating our dwellings, clothing and educating ourselves and our children, are all based on realities, and we keep falsehood and fiction from contaminating them as much as possible. In every walk of private life, falsehood and fiction are poisonous ingredients. In public affairs, do they change their nature ? Are fictions and fklsehoods, which corrupt and destroy private happiness, the es sence of public virtue ? We conclude not ; and just in proportion as the matters are weighty, which public men attempt to regulate by fic tions, so great will be the extent of the ruin ulti mately brought about. When we compare the actions of Government with the almost perfection of a workshop, such as Mr. MAUDSLEY'S, we see that all its business (that is, all the functions connected with the fictions we have adverted to), are in a sad state of disorder. The poverty, distress, and criminality of the people, are the condemnation of the law. While the present results are disastrous in the extreme, results still more disastrous can only be expected from continuing the system. We want truth and reality as the basis of all public as of all private affairs. iNlarshal the Duke de Reggio has retuned to Paril;, and taken up his residence at the Palace of the _Legion of Honour. The Baron de Barante is gone with his family to the Chateau de Barante, near Clermont, in the Puy d e D e oe. Workmen and painters continue to be actively engag,ed in making repairs and decorations in the Chamber of Deputies, the committee-rooms, &c. Several journals have stated that the opening of the Session was likely to be hastened this year ; but there is every reason to believe that it will not take place before the end of December. " Several persons," says the Revue du Havre, "hare been to the Custom-house of this port, to inspect a ma chine of singular construction lately brought over from England, to be used in raising the Teleniaque. It re sembles an immense harpoon with three prongs, which expand and then approach each other at the will of those using it, each prong having at its point a sharp and powerful hook or cramp, which must hold with great tenacity." The statue of Marshal Brune was inaugurated at Brives, in the Correze, his native place, on the 3d inst., with much ceremony. A speech was delivered by the Sub-Prefect of Brives, who was followed by M. Meu nier, Prefect of the Department ; M. Bourgoin, a vete ran officer, who had been one of the Marshal's aides-de camp, and then by M. Dupin. ATe Deunt was per formed in the church, and in the evening there was a grand banquet. Her MAJESTY'S masters express in their speech deep concern at the distress which has prevailed for a considerable period in some of the principal manufacturing districts. The gentlemen who express that concern have been for many years leading Members of Parliament. They either knew of the existence of the distress, through the whole of that considerable period, or they did not. If they did not, what precious hum bugs are they to pretend to govern a people of whose condition they are deplorably ignorant ! If they did, as they took no measures whatever to remedy it, but opposed all in - quiries into the Corn-laws, and all,,nicasures calculated to give relief, how dishonest was their conduct, and how unworthy are they of public confidence ! On either supposition the acknowledgement that distress has prevailed for a considerable period, is a condemnation of the Ministers. They are either political charlatans or political rogues— very ignorant, or very wicked. What have they been doing all the time that this distress has prevailed ? Did they inquire into its causes? They resisted inquiry. Did they check the profuse public expenditure, which is partly to blame for the distress ? They encouraged it. They urged on the Whigs in every measure which was likely.to increase the distress, and never proposed a single measure to relieve it. Lord STANLEY was assiduously em ployed in insulting the Irish, and all his party were aiding him. Their whole minds were in tensely bent on the means of turning out the Whigs, and, to succeed i n t h at, all regard for that public distress which now afflicts them with such deep concern was cast aside. I t i s not enough for their reputation that they have, by implication, denied the present existence of dis tress ; to admit that distress has existed fora con siderable period, is as fatal to their character as its present existence. The Marseilles mail has been unusually late in arriv ing at Paris during the last few days, the delay having been caused by their being obliged to take circuitous routes, the regular line of road having been in several places broken up by inundations. The Lyons Journals of Tuesday represent Chi Rhone and Saone as still increasing, and beginning to over flow the quays, but express hopes that the inundation will not exceed the usual floods. In the course of Sa turday night, three houses and other buildings in the environs were struck by the lightning, and some totally, some partially destroyed. At Vaise, it killed twenty sheep belonging to a butcher who had housed them. A barge was sunk near the Brotteaux, and a great many trees were thrown down at St. Foy. At Verna:4°n, it killed five horses employed in towing a barge, L 'aid seriously affected the man driving them. These journals hare accounts from Vienna that the same storm fell at• Cour-et-Buis with such violence, that there was every apprehension of the whole village being swept away by the torrent, which ploughed up roads, fields, and every thing that came in its course. It invaded the church, and the water reached to the steps of the altar. The wife of the cabinet-maker in the Rue du Roi de Sicile, whose child was a few days ago burnt to death by the boiling over of some varnish, as we mentioned, is dead, and her husband lies in the hospital in a desperate state. The female servant, whose injuries were not at first con sidered dangerous, expired 36 hours before her mistress. M. Liszt has just received from the ladies of Hamburgh a silver goblet, richly chased. It was presented to him by the Hanseatic Minister in Paris, accompanied by a handsome letter. • The translation of the Memoirs of Madame Laffarge has just been prohibited in Prussia. The new American tariff has been voted by the Senate, and sanctioned by the President. In conse quence, datin g f rom S eptem b er 30 l ast, all articles im ported into the United States, which were admitted duty free, or subject to a duty of less than twenty per cent., will have to pay 20 per cent. duty, with the exception of the articles designated in this new tariff, most of which are materials necessary for the manufacture of works of art, &c. It is known that the chief object of this act is to affect French silk manufacturers. Another article of the act imposes a duty of 6 cents. per gallon on the red wines of France in the wood, of 10 cent& on white wines in the wood, and of 22 cents, on every description of French wines in bottles. The representations of our Envoy, M. de Bacourt, have therefore been of no avail. It might, how ever, have been hoped that our diplomacy would have profited by the existing differences between the United S tates. and England to increase our influence with the American Congress. But unhappily the recent conduct of our Government in the affairs of the East and of La Plata, h as s h own how we support our allies ; and it is thus that our deplorable foreign policy reacts Among the official despatches from China which we this day publish, from the L on d oi : Gazette Extraordinary of last night, will be found one from the late lamented Captain Sir H. FLEMING SENHOUSE, from which only extracts were given in the despatches from Lord AUCKLAND, which appeared in The Sun of Thursday. The dispositions made for an attack on Canton by this gallant officer cannot be perused without enhancing the deep sorrow universally felt for his loss. All the other despatches from China published in the Gazette, and not found in our columns of this day, appeared in The Sun of Thursday. The whole of the French Journals of Thurs day have been received. The following is the on our commerEal relatiuEs. After the disdain with tlzi , C. : 'WC American flag the privilege of being admitted into our ports on the same footing as the na tional flag, and thus give to its mercantile navy the monopoly of the conveyance of goods between France and the United States, to the prejudice of our navigation ? At the expiration of the treaty the solu tion of this question cannot be doubtful. As for reprisals affecting American productions which are used, raw materials in our manufactures, we cannot advise them, their efforts would fail directly in our own manufacture, which cannot compete with foreign manu facture except by their cheapness.—Le Commerce.

" Who runs may read." romm:Gar e The insurrection in Navarre is noticed in the leading columns of all the Paris Journals of Thursday. The Gazette de France, a Legitimist Journal, says:—" The telegraphic despatch announcing the movement at Pampe luna arrived at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. It was instantaneously forwarded to St. Cloud, and thence to Maria Christina in the Rue de Courcelles. Maria Chris tina immediately convoked her Council, Martinez de la Rosa, and Count . de Toreno. The question discussed was whether Maria Christina should go to Spain, and place herself at the head of the troops in St. Sebastian and Pampeluna. It was resolved that the Queen should re main in Paris, sending two agents to the frontier. General O'Donnell, who commenced the movement, was a month ago in Paris, where he passed sixty days with the influential personages of Queen Christina's party. It is said he carried three millions of francs with him from Paris. Since Monday evening, the Queen's residence has been constantly filled with people. The Government did not publish the news until it was in a measure constrained by the. interpallations of M. Olozaga, who had received despatches from the frontier. A rumour is current that Gomez and Villa Real have entered Spain, and that the Basque provinces are up." The Journal des Debats, the Court organ, has no de cided opinion upon the subject of the Spanish revolt. It merely thinks that it is not of a nature to bring on a civil war in Spain. The Debats, however, betrays that the leaning of the Court is entirely in favour of Maria Christina. We think the King of the French would do well to attend to his own affairs, without intriguing in matters which wholly concern Spain. We trust the Cortes will have the spirit to declare the property of Maria Christina in Spain forfeited to the State. It is the immense wealth of which she plundered Spain that now enables her to make war on its institutions. The Constitzitionnel, the organ of M. Thiers, who is now in Paris, observes, that the state of Spain is such as to require few efforts to convulse it on any point. It is evident that every movement against Espartero, and for the purpose of preparing the way for the return of Queen Christina, will be seen with pleasure by the French Government, which the Constitutionnel regards as a moral accomplice in any intrigue or outbreak in favour of the exiled Queen. The Presse, another of the journals which receive the inspirations of Louis Philippe, very significantly tells us that Espartero has committed so many blunders since his accession to supreme power, that there is a strong feeling of indifference towards him in Spain, even amongst those who were,until recently, his most zealous and active partizans; and that his conduct towards France has been such as to shut out all hope that the French Go vernment will lend to him any support or encourage ment in his efforts to maintain himself. The Presse doubts also whether he has anything like support to ex pect from England, although he has done so much for that country; for, according to the Presse, gratitude is a virtue unknown to the English ; and even if Espartero should receive support from England, the Presse says it would do him more harm than good. We may well here ask whether the Presse means to insinuate that if England supports him France will declare for Maria Christina ? Some such threat appears to be implied. The National thinks that the insurrection is the result of an intrigue between Maria Christina, O'Donnell, and the French Government, and is very severe on the French Cabinet for its perfidy towards Spain. We adopt for once the opinion of the National. General O'Donnell did not move a step in the direction of Spain without the approbation of the principal personage at the Tuilleries. The Courrier Francais considers that there is little chance of success for O'Donnell, unless he can find money to carry on a civil war. None of the Sovereigns of Europe will, it says, assist him, and Queen Christina, who has, if our Contemporary's information be correct, placed eight or ten millions of francs in the French land's, wilt not be much drsposed to draw them out on such a venture as a civil conflict in Spain. The France, a Legitimist paper, sees in the insurrec tion in Navarre another chance of the restoration of Don Carlos, and the triumph of absolutist principles in Spain. Constitutional Spain has therefore open enemies and false friends in abundance in France. Baron cl'Est, the late defaulter on the Paris Bourse to the amount of 500,000 francs, has been arrested at Brus sels by two of his creditors. The Belgian Government has been applied to for permission to remove him to Paris. The Archbishop of Cologne has solemnly resigned his diocese, which he has engaged never to visit so long as he lives. This was one of the conditions upon which the King of Prussia agreed to settle the question of mixed marriages. A Malta paper says, that on the 30th of September " a Court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Howe, by order of Rear-Admiral Sir John Ommanney, to try Mr. H. B. Beresford, mate of her Majesty's ship Van guard, upon a charge preferred by the captain of said ves sel, Sir David Dunn, K.C,H„ for 'not having executed an order repeatedly given to him by his captain, in the pre sence of the officers and ship's company of the said ves sel, on Wednesday, the 21st day of July, 1841.' The Court, after hearing two witnesses in support of the charge, and a very able written defence, read by the prisoner with great emphasis, declared the charge not proved, and acquitted him thereof accordingly. Captain Basil Hall, and several other distinguished travellers, now at Malta, were present throughout the trial ; and, indeed, perhaps no Court-martial ever caused, particularly among the junior officers of the navy, greater excitement, or de light and gratification at the justice of the result."

TORYISM AND CIVIL WAR.—The fresh rising in Spain—the new commotions which are beginning in that country, are coeval with the accession of the Tories to office. That has inspired the lovers of disorder, the friends of Don Carlos, the protegees of Louis Phillipe, with renewed audacity. They reckon on the indifference or the supineness of England under the Tories, and they renew their attempts to disturb the peace and obtain pos session of the Government of their country. COMMISSIONER SHIP OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—Mr. Hope, the Member for Linlithgowshire, has vacated his seat, in consequence of having accepted the appointment of Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. What has created a -vacancy ? We hive heard that the Tories asked Mr. Bannerman to resign, and that he refused. Have they ejected him ? They have, and by a sharp practice, contrary to custom, they have thus found a place for their friend. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Ocr. 9.—Wind this day at noon, W. DEAL, OCT.

The Morning Chronicle, remarking on the late refer ences made in Parliament to the bribery and corruption 'practised generally at the last election, says :—" Let there be a thorough investigation. Let there be no paltering, no shuffling-, and, above all, no at tempt to screen the really guilty parties, by making scapegoats of agents or instruments. It is required for the vindication of the Reform Act ; it is required for the honour of the country ; it is required for our future safety. And when the investigation is complete, and the really guilty are punished, let some measure be brought in—an honest comprehensive measure—whose operation may save us, at least to some extent, from the abomina tions and the danger of future bribery and corruption."— This is a judicious recommendation, but the Tories know better than to enter with earnestness and sincerity into a searching investigation of the wholesale system of bri bery pursued at the late elections. They are too deeply interested to do so. The utmost they will do, will be to institute a tame, partial, bit-by-bit scrutiny, such as shall be attended with no detriment to themselves. In fact, they will just keep up appearances, nothing more. The Morning Herald thus speaks of Lord Sydenham's administration of the Canadas :—" On Lord Seaton's re call from Canada, Mr. Thomson was appointed to the Supreme Government of British North America, and was subsequently elevated to the Peerage. The subor dinate character of his previous employment, the want of personal dignity, and his known free-trade opinions, pro duced a considerable opposition to the appointment, and Mr. Thomson certainly left England to commence his administration under no very favourable auspices. We now, however, freely admit that the evil anticipa tions then formed have not been fulfilled, and that Lord Sydenham's Government of Canada has, on the whole, been successful. His Lordship slowly conquered the distrust of the Canadians, and under his administra tion prosperity has gradually re-dawned on this noble dependency. The union of the two provinces was skil fully commenced by the deceased Baron—an attempt was made to develope their great resources 1:y complet ing the public works indispensable to their prosperity ; and if the name of Baron Sydenham is to be preserved fora few years in the recollection of the nation, it will be in connection with Canada. We can say no more ; we could say no less." —The frankness and candor of the above passage are highly creditable to our Contem porary. It is not often that a Tory Journal thus rises superior to party prejudices in its estimate of men and things. _ _ The Post has discovered that the clamour against the Corn-laws is a purely factitious one—that it is a hired clamour, and that a great part of it arises from " ignorant prejudice and empty vanity." If for "empty vanity," our Contemporary had substituted " empty stomack," we would have . agreed with him, for this undoubtedly is at the bottom of the present Anti-Corn-law clamour. The following are the Post's remarks on this subject : "By far the greater portion of the clamour against the prorogation of Parliament and for the continued discussion of the Corn-laws, was no doubt insincere. A good deal of it was regularly hired and paid for—the wages, we believe, were small, but the work was coarse and mean, and deserved no better payment. A great part of it arose from ignorant prejudice and empty vanity—the persons making the clamour only knew that the Corn-laws were generally supported by the landed aristocracy, and that their repeal was a theme on which something might be said at this or that meeting in order to gain a little local notoriety. No small portion of it had for its origin mere selfishness, the people who made the noise hoping thereby to gain something for them selves, through the popular ag it a ti on , b u t knowing very well that no such benefit to the poor as they pretended to seek for could possibly arise from a change of the Corn-laws." The Times says, " We observe with pleasure that a Contemporary, who has lately been dwelling at consider atle upon th© ct of C., to advocate it. upon r.,+,,pies vvl;ich 'do not c„..,emplate an application ti the funds of the country as a necessary part of the plan ;' and that Sir Robert Inglis has declined to commit him self to the renewal, in a future session, of his former notice upon this subject. If there were no other rea son for such a course, the state of the Exchequer would furnish an irresistible ground for the retracta tion, under existing circumstances, of all such claims on behalf of the Church. But being (as we are) con vinced that there are other and much weightier rea• sons, pointing to a still snore absolute and unequivocal conclusion, we shall not . rest satisfied till we hear that the whole scheme for making the ministrations of the Church commensurate with the spiritual necessi ties of the people by means of Parliamentary grants, of money, is permanently abandoned. It is a scheme full of danger to the Church herself ; likely to compromise her spiritual efficiency and . purity ; certain to deprive her of that degree of independence which she retains at present, and to destroy much of the security which she enjoys for the maintenance of her temporal establishments. We believe also, that it would defeat its own object, and that the full and flow ing stream of voluntary contributions Would disappear, when drained off into the forced channel of taxation, as Pharaoh's fat kine did after they had been eaten up by the lean ones." The Dublin Evening Post, in an article on the Corn laws, remarks as follows :—" The Duke of Wellington has, to use a familiar phrase, • let the cat out of the bag.' The old warrior, though ready to march along with the faction on general occasions, is too little versed in duplicity to become a direct actor in the game of de• lusion." The Northern Advertiser says:—" The principal de fect which the new Ministry have exhibited is their de termination to keep the country in ignorance of their views respecting the Corn-laws. This is a subject upon which extensive disappointment has been experienced and expressed, and yet we are not aware that they have been less explicit or more reserved in their sentiments upon this point than upon any other." Oa the subject of the present distresses of the people, the Leicester Mercury remarks as follows :—" To them selves—and themselves only, must the distressed look for help—and their first effort must be to strike down, to smite to the very earth, every lie—every delusion— every misrepresentation—that falls from the lips of their rulers, whether they relate to penury, want, disease, Savir•gs' Banks—whether they be uttered in utter igno rance of the truth—or whether they are the wilful and uncandid misstatements of the accomplished and po lished, but not the less malignant and black-hearted sophist—it is their business to track out the calumny and refute it. The working men of this kingdom have the whole of the Liberal Press at their command, and yet how rarely do we read an article that touches the public heart by the boldness and truth of its colouring— by the fidelity of its minuter touches." The following observations are from the West Briton: —" Ministers say they have not been long enough in office to make themselves acquainted with the actual condition of the country, and that they require four or five months to do so. But does it need that men should be placed upon an officia elevation to look clearly around them for such evidence ? If the members of the present Government knew nothing of the state of the country when the late Cabinet propounded its remedial measures, why did they oppose those measures ? They admit by such confession, that their only object was to embarrass and oppose the late Government. Their main purpose was to get into place. Self first—country second." MONEY-TRADE-COMISZE7ELCE. TheDrogheda Railroad is rapidly progressing towards completion. Hundreds of masons, quarrymen, and la bourers are to be seen employed on the works, from the Crescent of Clontarf towards Swords. The Dublin Cockneys calculate that in a short time they will be able to set off for Drogheda, a distance of twenty-three miles, after dinner, and be back in time for:tea. In a few years the Directors hope to have the line completed to Armagh, sixty-two miles north of Dublin. LAW AND POLICE. The Secondaries Court met yesterday to assess da mages against the Hon. F. G. Molyneux, for having seduced Lady Georgiana Mitford, wife of Mr. R. H. R. Mitford, a gentleman of fortune in Hampshire. Judg ment mas suffered to go by default. The damages were laid at 5,0001., and the Jury, after about half an hour's conference, returned a verdict for 1,0001. The four American sailors, remanded some days ago for a savage attack upon a British sailor and a woman, were brought before Mr. Norton yesterday, at Lambeth street, for further examination. The witnesses were hound over to give evidence at the Old Bailey, and the prisoners were remanded, with an intimation that they would be again brought up, preparatory to their being committed to Newgate. At Marylebone office, John Butler was committed:to the House of Correction for two months, and James Ray for one month, both excavators, for a brutal assault on one of dui constables of the Great Western Railway Company. TECEATIZZCAL. Sheridan Knowles'snew play, entitled Old Maids, is to be produced at Covent-garden Theatre on Tuesday next. The principal characters will be filled by Messrs. Charles Mathews, G.

The Duke of Richmond and the Earl of Lincoln had long_interviews with_Sir—Tames Graham paztAarday nwrra— ing at the Home-office. The Earl and Countess de Grey arrived in town yes terday, from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Earl Grosvenor, in a letter received in town a few days since, and dated on board the Dolphin, at Malta, says:--" Our quarantine ends on the 4th of October, after which we shall proceed to the south coast of Sicily, and to Palermo, and thence steer homewards; but pro bably stopping at Lisbon for a few days." Lord Stuart de Rothsay has been appointikl Am bassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is labouring under indisposition. Vice-Admiral Lord Colville will be married on Thursday next•to the Hon. Miss Law, daughter of the Dowager Lady Ellenborough. Sir Robert and Lady Peel entertained a select circle at dinner yesterday in Whitehall Gardens. Her Majesty and the Court are not expected at Buckingham Palace till Wednesday or Thursday next. The Marquis of Douro gave a grand ball to all the tenantry on Lochiel's estate on Friday last. MISCZLLANEOUS. Mr. Charles Hope, brother of the Earl of Hopetoun, has succeeded Mr. Bannerman, M.P. for Aberdeen, as a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. Mr. Bannerman did not resign. He was literally turned out. Such is the return the Tories make to the Whigs for allowing such swarms of Tory officials to retain situations and rail against their masters. Mr. John Hope, another of this hopeful family, has been appointed Lord Justice Clerk, an appointment of a very different kind, we admit, but no doubt he would have had it though he had been as stupid at the veriest Tory dunce that ever sat on the Scotch Bench. The golden age has returned. A Northern Contemporary compares Sir R. Peel " to an eagle."—With his sleek, smooth, pompous gravity, he bears a far greater resemblance to a goose. A South Devon Journal says that " pike will. this month take a bait freely."—The Tories are still more vo racious than pike, for. they will take a bait freely all the year round. Bait with loaves and fishes, and, no matter what be the month, you will be sure to hook a Tory. A lad about eighteen years of age disappeared on Wed nesday night, and it is supposed threw himself off the bridge at Melksham into the Avon. On Monday his friends beat a drum along the bank, believing that the drum would cease sounding when opposite the corpse! Strange superstition! Mr. W. Newnham, of Balcombe, had a cow bitten by an adder a few days ago. He sent for the farrier, but she died in the greatest agony, foaming at the mouth as though mad. To-morrow (Sunday) is the anniversary of the death of James Stephen, Esq., in 1832, an eminent lawyer and writer. He was chiefly notable for suggesting the whole system of the continental blockade, which for many years occasioned the greatest embarrassment to Buo naparte. RAILWAY RETURNS.
