We have not seen any mention of it in any other Journal. The work he has in hand is good, and he should not be easily discouraged. ,ds t, 442 . _ 11 1 - , ) r . 1..'%1 41T1t fers— LONDON: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1841. Though the saying is trite " that public ne cessity can alone justify the infliction even of the smallest degree of pain on any individual" by criminal laws, it is so continually overlooked in practice that we rejoice to see it asserted in the Times, and are happy to rercat it. Instead of being followed in practice, every man with a . crotchet about the prevention of crime, whether it relate to the silent or the separate system, to capital or to secondary punishments, whatever may be the penalties it inflicts, or the cost of carrying it into execution, that man urges its adoption, and insists on having it carried into execution. If by chance he be entrusted with power, he never considers for one moment how much or how little pain lie inflicts on indivi duals or on the community, but he forthwith erects prisons, appoints gaolers, and dooms a great multitude of individuals to great pain, and the community to gre a t - expense. Far from proving, even to himself,' that public necessity justifies this course, he adopts itahnost at hazard, he never makes any calculation on 'the subject, and so the country has been doomed to suffer the infliction of a great variety of severe, and cruel, and costly punishments, none of hich appear to have answered the purpose designed. We have, fir example, a pamphl et lying before us, entitled " Secondary Punishments ; the Merits of a Home and of a ColoniatProcess, of a n • s oc ial and a Separate System 0fEC0477 .Unredeemediet,;llich a g thee lal nicnt, discussed by Filen. INN . in ,w a uthor shows that a great many evils result from the present systems of secondary punishments;that Captain MacoNocint'ssch eme , . i should be carried fully and fairly into execution,' and that the great principle of reforming Tiflis has never, notwithstanding the enormous establishments to this end, both here.and another • countries, been properly acted on. Mr. INNES • is therefore bent on reforming criminals at no inconsiderable expense of money and pain, while headmits that all the schemes hitherto tried have only tended to harden an d deteriorate the criminal. There are not many families probably in the country, of which some one of its members has not been faulty, vicious, or criminal ; and we believe experience bears us out in saying that in the greater number of such cases the most care ful application of the most approved family dis cipline has tailed, at least for a long period, to reclaim or reform the offender. But what the nicest application of a knowledge of the habits and dispoSitions of such an offender, gathered fro an an intimate acqu a i n tance with him from the Lour of his birth, what the strictest and wise ,t use of parental authority, which can withhold food, and is naturally armed .with an alma irresistible power, cannot effect for aaintlividual child, political schemers expect .e mass by some rude kind of . lidh is necessarily not equally eases of different individuals. Prayed, the hereditary weak, urinal, the victims of an inci e wild youth hurried away by 'elt passion, which knowledge control;. • the easy t ioetakeSU - iiy impression, and * Published by J. 011yiei;l'alt mall, who is led into crime by the chance company has fallen into ; he, whose education: has been wholly neglected, and he who has been nurtured and and taught with the tenderes t care, n never witnessed in his parent's abode one alloy ing example, but who has within him evil pro pensities which no skill hitherto possessed can eradicate ; allthese, and a countless number more' whom great diversities of disposition and of cir cumstances, have made trespassers on the laws, are to be cured and reformed by one general and indiscriminate system of punishment and of discipline. We doubt whether that which family discipline cannot accomplish when the plant is in the greenest state, will ever be accomplished by any system of penal or convict discipline when age, when the sun of prosperity, and the storms of adversity, have hardened the green sapling into the tough tree. The devisers of numerous schemes of convict and other discipline are of a totally different opinion, and we are not ac quainted with any subject on which the human mind has for many years been more active, and has laboured - more signally in vain. On this account, we rejoiced to see in the Times the passage we have quoted, and we hope that it will henceforth be clearly understood, and always remembered, that the onus of proving the great advantages of any system of punishment—of' showing the great public pleasure which results from the infliction of individual . pain, lies on those who propose it, orcarry, it - into execution not on those', who object to it. For them the simple fact that punishment is a pain, iSsufli cleat to justify the objection ; to prove that it is outweighed by advantages, that publiC necessity commands it, is the duty of those who advocate or inflict the penalty. We Were much astonished, however, to find the Times, after adopting this rational principle, putting fort a totally different principle to jus tify the punishment of death. "If we would have," it said, " no handsome and interesting murderesses," &c., " we must continue to main tain and act upon the law, that ' whoso shed deth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed.' " Now, without entering into the very large subject of the utility of capital punish ments—merely remarking, however, that as long as they are continued, it will be difficult to find many criminals more worthy to suffer death than BLAKESLEY,—We beg leave to notice a discre pancy in the arguments of the Times. If we " must maintain " that law, which it quotes,— if that means, as those who quote it imply, that the State is bound, by the overwhelming autho rity of the Bible, to put every murderer to death,—that the " State must act," regardless of the consequence?, on this brief and emphatic command,—why does the Times supply us with another and a totally diCerent rule for our conduct, and tell us that we are not to inflict the smallest pain on individuals, much less put them to death and expose them to all the horrors of a coming execution, which fill the time between the sentence and the death, unless that infliction be justified by public necessity ? If we must obey the Biblical law, to inquire into its effects on the public is wholly superflu ous, arid may, perchance, result in questioning the authority of the Bible. If we must not in flict pain without its being proved that it pro duces public advantages, why refer us to a posi tive law, which shuts out all such consideration? One or other of the principles referred to by the Times ought alone to be adopted, otherwise, as the one overrides the other, reason or revelation will be brought into contempt. We admit that we hold with the proposition which the Times lays down from reason. The law it quOtes from the Bible was given when society was in so very different a condition from the present; it is so extremely general, rather justifying the Arab habit of taking life for life, by private revenge, than applying to the solemn acts of a .State and to modern legislation ; in cludes shedding blood by accident, or in chance medley, well as shedding blood by deSign— , which our people never regard as proper to be.punished with death ; and it is so differently • explained by different commentators, that as a rule for legislation we decidedly prefer the principle the Times lays down from reason to that it quotes from the Bible. Indeed, we see with great and unmingled regret an attempt at this period, in a popular Journal, to found our criminal jurisprudence on the cruel laws of a people which were expressly adapted, not to abstract right but to their hardened hearts; and we read with pity and disgust the hideous per version in that Journal by which all the beauti ful philanthropy of the age is ascribed to infi delity. The friends of the Bible can be little pleased with the Times for justifying cruel pu nishments by its authority, and for ascribing to in fidelity, as the foster-nurse, that desire for the mi tigation of sanguinary laws which has so honour ably distinguished the most religious men of mo dern times. We are now pompously told by the advocates of monopoly and starvation, that ; the " seasons defy human control, and mock human pru dence ;" but, if our memory does not cruelly de ceive us, the same gentlemen have defended the Corn-law because it equalized the effects of the seasons, which Sir ROBERT PEEL, on One oc casion, said it had effectually done. That the seasons defy human control we admit, but they no more mock human prudence than do storms, against the effects of which men provide, though the storms themselves are entirely beyond the control of man. Both are known phenomena; and bad and good seasons alternate so regularly, that they are sub ject to calculation. Though human prudence can not control the seasons, therefore, it can provide against their evil effects. It could, for example, without any difficulty, but simply by doing what justice and honesty require, open our ports at all times to the free importation of food ; and it would, by that means, ensure our people a much greater supply than at present. If the people could command plenty of food, and there is no reason whatever why they cannot, but for the law, they would consume a great deal more; the standard ,of comfort would be raised throughout the country, and when bad seasons came, au come they will, the well-fed people would have a con siderable superfluity to fall back upon, and a barren year would not be tantamount to a sem tence of death by starvation. Then- th e c l as s n e x t above the very lowestand Most likely . to relieve them, would have some- 440 give their:suffering neighbours, and the extremely wretched would not be thrust out as now Ita ih li t a n a the str ee t s t o di sp l ay t h e wors t features of be pgkaoo_a tt r; ' ‘ U v , n w d h e ih the`Under is expressly 3 C , law, i o n r t t e t- nded aided by the to beat down the standard of comfort, and so de grade the labourer, the bulk of the working classes, both in the agricultural and manufac turing districts, are reduced on ordinary occasions to the lowest stage of existence, and a bad season is a sentence of death to many of the suffering poor. The seasons do indeed mock the prudence, or rather avarice, of our Corn-law makers, . and fix upon it the stern and indelible brand of GOD'S reprobation. H e has given to man the pOVier of equalizing the effects of the seasons, so that uo e their changes ; b ut t h e landlords havel l res ult from the placed their veto on the exerc i se of the d thereby the community i s exposed to -i pow er, an immense suffering. We are glad to see, from our report of what cccurred yesterday in the Bail Court, that Mr. TRAVIS, the farmer who was committed to pri son by some country gentlemen for felony, be cause he resisted.a Mr. ENTWISTLE in trespass ing on his grounds to hunt, and stuck his pitch fork into Mr. ENTWISTLE'S horse in the scuffle, has obtained a certiorari to move the cause into the Court of Queen's Bench, and a rule, calling on the other parties to show cause why be should not be admitted to bail. Mr. Justice PATTESON immediately assented to-the motion,, and we shall now have all the particulars of this case made public. We will not say a sEngle word about it till it, lias been investigated is a THE SUN, LON D Cant of Law, further than to remark that the case is an illustration of the manners of those who deem themselves born to ride over the people in the pursuit of their game. The suggestion of a Correspondent to pull down the Tower, as an insult to the City of London, which it was built to keep in subjection, and convert its site into a dock for steamers, into which they might enter and depart at all times of the tide, and around which commodious wharves might be built, one side being used to land pas sengers, and another to embark them, is, we think, well worthy of public attention ; but we are afraid that a respect for antiquity will pre vail over a love for the happiness of the present generation, and such a useful project will have no chance of being carried into effect. Letters and papers from Madrid of the 7th inst. have reached us. The capital continued without the smallest interruption of its tran quillity. From Barcelona the news is of a date one day later. General VAN HALEN had not entered — the . city, as the autho rities had refuSed to admit him unless he consented to the demolition of the citadel, which he refused, at the same time threatening to cannonade the town. The num ber of men employed in demolishing the citadel was 3,000. In Valencia the authorities assem bled on the 31st ult., and adopted the following resolutions : ." 1. The demolition of the tower and the citadel which commands the town. " 2. The suppression of the names of Ferdinand and Christina on all public monuments. " 3. The dismissal of all employes not supposed worthy of public confidence. "4. The -disinissal from the ranks of the National Guards of all individuals whose opinions are not suffi ciently liberal. 5. r m., demolition of the Palace of the Inquisition. 6. The arrest and imprisonment of all suspected persons. •` 7. The suspension of all prison labour, as being detrimental to industry and manufactures." The next day, however, the decree of the REGENT for the dissolution of the Junta arrived and was proclaimed, the authorities only insist ing upon the demolition of the Citadel. The funds continued firm at Madrid. The Fives 27 for cash. The Paris Journals have been received, but with the exception of a spiteful article against England in the Courrier Francais, provoked by the generous and friendly speech of Count ST. AULAIRE, the French Ambas sador, at the Lord Mayor's dinner, their con tents are of the usual common-place character. In onr Summary will be found all the notice which we shall condescend to take of this pitiful effusion of spite and meanness. The French Court organs continue their attacks upon the Spanish Regency. They ex agerate every trifle in order to embarrass the REGENT. Not one half of what they report about the state of things in Barcelona is true. • The Debate, alluding to the statement which has been made relative to the treatment of the persons of Tou louse, connected with the public press, on the charge of having excited the revolt in that city, has the fulf.3witig:— " We are even less than other partisans of arbitrary power and useless rigour, and we are about to prove it. It is true that the responsible editors of three journals of Toulouse, accused of having part in the troubles of that town in July last, were removed on foot, and with chains round their necks to the pled where they are to be tried. A simple contradiction would have sufficed on the part of the Ministry, and this con tradiction has not been given. In the present case the prisoners have not been condemned, they are merely tinder accusation. On the other hand, it appears certain that a woman who has been condemned to hard labour for life, for murder and theft, the too celebrated Ma dame Lafarge, has been removed in a post carriage to the prison in which she is to undergo her punishment, and conceal for ever her infamy. We must confess that, supposing the news in both cases be correct, the con trast is intolerable, and a flagrant outrage upon public justice. 'We are not amongst those who, from the moment that an offence becomes political, are ready to absolve the offender. On the contrary, we think it perfectly just that they who attack society by force, or by preaching seditious doctrines, should be severely punished. We do not, because we :belong to the press, excuse its excesses ; we do not ask :for' favour .On its behalf ; we demand only justice. If the responsible editors of the Toulouse Journals should be fouad guilty of the crime of which they are ac cused, we will not complain of their condemnation ; but up to this moment they are merely under accusation, and yet they are said to have undergone the punishment of being dragged along, under the eyes of the whole po pulation, as so many malefactors, to the spot where justice is to pronounce as to their guilt or innocence, whilst consideration and indulgence were reserved for a' murderess. Again, we say that we demand no favour for the press, but let us not have the preference of seve rity. As regards persons merely under accusation, all the right possessed by the Executive is the security of their persons, and the accused of Toulouse would, in a carriage, have been equally, and, indeed, more secure than they were, chained and exposed as they are said to have been. 'We sincerely hope, however, that the state ment which has given rise to these reflections may turn out to be unfounded." _ _ The trial before the Correctional Tribunal, of the par ties connected in the publication of the journal called the Humanitaire, in which were involved questions of illicit association and detention of arms and ammunition, com menced on Wednesday, and terminated yesterday, when all the accused, except one, were found guilty, and sen tenced to imprisonment for various terms from two years to three months.—The Debuts states that, as the pri soners were being conducted back from the Court to the Conciergerie, one of them, named Sauvaitre, escaped from the guards, and got clear off, by means of the crowd. We learn through Vienna that the town of Komorn, on the island of Schutt, in Hungary, at the confluence of the Waag and the Danube, was at the end of last month visited by an earthquake, which shook down all the timber-houses, and severely damaged other build ings. In consequence of this disaster upwards of 5,000 people are said to be ruined, and left without shelter. The general loss is estimated at an immense amount. His Excellency Lord Cowley received visits on Friday from M. Guizot, Marshal Soult, and the Sardinian Mi nister. The Countess de Flahault, and a great number of English residents of distinction, have called on Lord and Lady Cowley. Advices from Leghorn of the sth instant, in the Mar seilles papers, state that the Grand Duke of Tuscany was about to proceed immediately to Naples, with his family, for the benefit of the health of his youngest daughter, who is feared to be in the same condition as her elder sister, who died last month. A steamer was ordered to be in readiness for this purpose by the I Oth.—A violent hurricane had been experienced in the Bay of Naples on the 30th ult., during which the. Mongibello steamer had run foul of a Tuscan steamer, the Marie Antoinette, and had caused her much damage. The Neapolitan ship of war, Copri, had been driven from her anchors, and had greatly injured several merchant vessels in the port. Among these an English vessel, laden with sugar, indigo, and other goods, had been sunk.—An ex tensive fire had occurred at Leghorn on the night of the 4th, in a furniture warehouse, and had caused much damage. A letter from Berlin, in the Auysburgh Gazette, - states that the suppression of the conspiracy in Belgium has been witnessed with much pleasure in the Prussian capital. At the period of the Belgian revolution, a re storation of the House of Orange at Brussels was much desired in Prussia ; but now, this letter adds, it is con- 'eeived that the independence of Belgium is closely con nected with the prosperity of Prussia. "We are con vinced," says the writer, " that if the Belgian conspiracy .had momentarily succeeded, the Prussian Government would have acted with more energy than even that of France.to.cause the treaty of London to be respected." In consevence of the removal of the slaughter-house for horses from Montfaucon to the Plaine des Vertus, near AuberVilliers, the colony of rats, whose enormous number was well known, no longer finding food for their support, have emigrated to Belleville, La Petite-Villette, and the Fattbourgs du Temple, and Saint Martin, where they are said to have committed great ravages. It is even supposed that they have penetrated by the sewers to the markets in the centre of Paris, and to the Some days ago, a young orphan girl, driven to dis traction by want, threw herself into the river from the Pont d'Arcole, but the cries which nature induced her to utter, when she felt her life in actual danger, attracted the attention of two gentlemen in the office of the Secre tary of the Prince Royal, who happened to be passing at the time, and by their personal exertions they succeeded in saving her. One of there, M. Chamonard, being a married man, without children, having ascertained that her character was irreproachable, has adopted the unfor tunate girl. The Duchess of Orleans sent her 100 f. on being informed of this circumstance. A young man, and a woman, with whom he was living, were, two evenings ago, walking along the Rue Saint- Honore, when a dispute arose between them, and the female became so excited that she drew a knife from her pocket, stabbed herself to the heart, and fell dead in stantly. The young man, in his alarm, fled, and left her on the ground. She was taken to the 3lorgue, where she was soon afterwards claimed and given up to her friends. The Sentinelle de la Marine, published at Toulon, has the following news in its number of the 9th : " The Montebello, three-decker, has been dismasted. " We expect, from Brest, two frigates, with 600 sail ors, for the ships of the Mediterranean squadron. " It is asserted that the Minerva frigate, which is not yet out of quarantine, has received orders to be in readi ness to put to sea. The destination of the vessel is not known.

A master-tailor had been given into custody by a - drunken man, on a charge of begging, for which, it appears, there was not the slightest foundation. The atcufer was allowed to walk away, and the other was shut up in a cell for the night, marched through the streets next day to the police-office, and, on being brought before the Magistrate, was instantly discharged. For this he brought an action against the person who had given him into custody, and got a verdict for 201. damages. But the chief offender, Inspector Maude, who took the improbable charge, escaped with only this well-timed rebuke from the, Judge, which we recommend the Commissioners to have printed in large characters and hung up la-every station house : Baron Alderson—When yitm have doubts in future, exercise them for the purpose of keeping people out of prison, not for putting them in. If you had exercised any discretion, or the least common sense, this matter would never have been heard of." • MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. .

The steam-ship Columbia has arrived, but she does not bring any political news of the least interest either from the British Colonies or the United States. No material alteration' had occurred in commercial affairs. Stocks of nearly all descriptions were declining under the impression that many of the States would not pay the interest due in January next. The last quotation of United States - Dank Shares was 31. Exchange on England continued to advance, and a good business was done for this steamer at 94 to 10i premium. The Britannia steam-ship which left Liverpool on the 21st October, was g oin g into the harbour of Halifax, on the sth inst., all well. Buenos Ayres papers to the sth September have been received this morning ; they are seven days later than the former advices. We take the following from the British Packet of the 28th August : " Accounts from the interior state that an action was fought in the beginning of this month between the Fe deral troops of Catamorea, under the command of Governor Balboa, and a detachment of La Madrid's forces, in which the latter were completely routed, with the loss of several officers of note, among them three or four quondam Governors. Tucuman is represented as being besieged, and in a Cordova paper of the 15th instant it is stated, that a deputation of eleven of the principal inhabitants had been appointed to wait upon the commanders of the Confederate forces, in order to avert the impending danger. Alvarez and Riso Petron, of Cordova, Puck, of Solta, and Gordello, of Rioja, are the chiefs, we believe, who fell in the action above alluded to.

SUMMARY OF rims AND ilittitt tli is n. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The text of a navigation treaty between Great Britain and Sardinia, on a footing of the most perfect equality, will be found in another part of The Sun. It is for a period of ten years from the date of its ratification, which was the 16th ult. The substance of it might be given in a sentence. English ships in Sardinian ports, and Sardinian vessels in British ports, are to be treated re ciprocally, as native vessels, in all that regards tonnage, freight, pilotage, quarantine, lighthouses, and signals. The Courrier Francais has the exceeding littleness to indulge in a fit of vituperative spleen, because Count de St. Aulaire had the good taste,; at the Lord Mayor's dinner, to cpmpliment the company in the name of the diplomatic sbdy, on the good understandinc , subsisting be tween England and France. "As to the French readers," says the Courrier Francais, "it is enough for them to know that our Ambassador has used language and uttered sentiments, in the name of the French nation, which it cannot sanction. M. de Saint Aulaire offered himself as a guarantee of the feelings of friendship and fraternization which, he says, France still entertains for England. It is quite evident that M. de Saint Aulaire arrives from Viemna, and has passed hastily through Paris. The slightest inquiry into the state of pablic opinion in France would have proved to him that the feelings of the French nation are not such as he has re presented them to be." Since the Courrier Francais be _ came the oracle of M. Thiers, we doubt its representation of the state of public opinion in France ; and, notwith standing its article, which we now notice with contempt, we give the French nation full credit for the kindly feeling towards us expressed by his Excellency the French Am bassador. The Journal des Debats condemns the treatment of the political prisoners at Toulouse, and trusts the re port of the indignity of the iron collar is unfounded. We stated some days ago that. France was indignant at the abolition of the Fueros; because that measure would injure her contraband trade 'with the Basques. The Constitutionnel of_ Friday last - denied this and ac cused us of ignorance. Hear now what the Sentindle. des Pyrenees of the 11th says, quoted in the Constitutionnel of Saturday:—" The people of Bayonne are busy, night and day, packing up goods to send thetn;.to Spain, be fore the tariff made by Espartero's Government comes into effect." What answer will our Paris Contemporary make to this plain announcement? We happen to know quite as much about the Basque fueros as the wise men of Paris. From Madrid the news is of the 7th inst. The Juntas of Valencia, Alicante, and Barcelona had dissolved, in obedience to the commands of the Government. The Junta of Barcelona had declared itself willing to dis solve the instant the citadel was dismantled. As General Van Helen threatened the town with a large force, it was feared that a conflict was inevitable. PUBLIC OPXNION. The recent appointment of Mr. Warren to the vacant Queen's Sergeantship, which has created such a stir among the Dublin lawyers, forms the subject of a lead ing article in the Advertiser, which observes :—" Some of our Contemporaries have been discussing with con siderable animation the conduct of the Government in appointing a Mr. Warren, instead of a Mr. West, to a vacant Irish Sergeantship. When there is an oyster to be disposed of and a lawyer in the way, we all know what will become of the fish, whatever may be done with the shells ; but when there are two Learned Gen tlemen with their eyes intent upon the same morsel-- " whpn Greek meets Greek "—there is sure to be a struggle of no ordinary kind, and the big wig who gets the oyster is likely to have the shells pitched after him by the adherents of his unsuccessful competitor. It ap pears that Mr. West has been a most active partisan of the Tories, putting down his money like a man for elec tioneering purposes, and persevering, obstinately, like some other animal, in throwing every possible difficulty in the way of the Liberals."--We are heartily glad that Mr. West has been unsuccessful, for be is well known as a determined partisan of the Tories ; and the very circumstance of the Government supporting the claims of such a man, shows that it is by no means so liberal in its policy as it . professed, and still professes to be. Mr. 'Warren, the successful aspirant, may not be all that could be desired, but he is at any rate a sounder lawyer than Mr. West, and is not, so far as we have heard, so determined a Tory partisan: In an article on the subject of capital punishments, suggested by the execution of Blakesley yesterday for murder, the Times makes the following remarks:—" In France the crime of murder is much more frequent, and much more frequently aggravated by horrible circum stances of supererogatory depravity than in England. The law, therefore, of France sacrifices the lives of inno cent, loyal, and useful citizens to its tenderness for theise . who make war upon the huinan race. Nor does the evil stop here; for the public mind is demoralized by the false principle-thus admitted into the national legisla tion; it is taught by the very authority which should have inculcated the opposite feeling, to soften down and palliate its natural abhorrence of murder. The refined or the daring murderer becomes to 'some an object of compassion; to others of interest; and to too many of admiration. With the depraved'in the upper classes he is the unhappy victim of passion or adverse fate, with the sterner spirits of the lOwer, a bold adventurer, a hero, or even a demigod.":—lt is a curious and instruc tive illustration. ,of the fact—in France at least—cant, sheer'maudlin cant., has had a great deal to do with the opposition to capital 'punishments, that Robespierre started on his public career with a sentimental essay, and a still more sentimental speech against them ; and that the Girondists were equally averse to their inflic tion, notwithstanding that these tender-hearted legis lators had no scrtTles in causing the death of hundreds by their famous rise on the 10th of August, and in winking at the September massacres, when upwards of six thousand people were deliberately slaughtered in three days. The following statistics respecting our commercial in tercourse with Germany are from the Post:—" We find from the statistical tables compiled by Mr. Porter, and laid by the Board of Trade before Parliament, that the export of British and Irish produce and manufactures to Germany increased between the years 1827 and 1839 and, with the exception of •some accidental and tempo rary fluctuations, increased gradually—until, from 4,654,618/. of real or declared value, their amount in the former year, they had risen to 5,215,1551. in the latter, an increase of more than twelve per cent. We find, also, from the same official publication, that the ton nage of British vessels that paid Sound duties, a fair criterion, we suppose, of our commercial in tercourse with that part of Germany in which the law of the League is likely to be as strictly enforced as in any other, increased between the years 1832 and 1839 from 592,133 to 840,971 tons ; and that the ton nage of 1839, the last year included in the table, was considerably greater than that of any one of the inter vening years. We find, also, that the proportion which British vessels bore to the aggregate vessels of all na tions increased within the same period. Considering the total tonnage of vessels of all nations entering the Sound as an integer, the proportion of British ti,nnage in 1822 was ,324, and in 1839 ,342 ; the latter proportion being greater than that of any intervening year with the ex ception of 1833 and 1838, in the former of which it was ,351, and in the latter ,348. These official statements are not evidences of ruin to our manufacturers, or even of decay." Speaking of the distress that at present so generally exists in Paisley, the Chronicle remarks:—" The distress is, we understand, confined to the hand-loom weavers. The scale, according to which work is paid, has long been much higher in Paisley than in other towns, and many of the masters have long been in the habit of sending work to towns at a distance to obtain the benefit of the lower scale. But the masters were unable to per suade the operatives to reduce the scale, and a number of them have submitted longer to pay wages which they could not afford than in prudence they ought to have clone. One fact is mentioned as a proof of the injury done to a town by endeavours to holster up wages—namely, that the scale of wages oc hand-loom weavers in Perth has been raised 20 per cent. since the distress which has overtaken Paisley. It is clear from this that-there is no want of work in Perth, for, if there were:lt rise of 20 per cent. would be impossible. How happens it, then, that in one town the hand-loom weavers should be without employment, and in another the hand-loom weavers should have so much employment as to be able to raise their wages ? It can only, be-liecause in Paisley the operatives persisted in Maintaining a scale equally ruinous to their masters and to themselves." The Liverpool Chronicle . observes :—" There has been a great fraud in Exchequer bills—and why? The cause, the Tory journals assure us, , was that hateful sys tem of ECONOMY which has, of late years, been acted upon by the Government. There has been a great fire in the Tower. What was in fault? Economy again, we are informed on the same unquestionable authority. All this is, doubtless, put forward as a feeler to the coun try. But it will not do. The people aro too wise to be lieve that frauds and fires can only be prevented or ex tinguished by profligate extravagance. How the fingers of these Tories are itching to be at their old tricks once more I" 2K ONEY-TnADE-C OMMEELOE. At Bath a union has taken place between the old and respectable banking establishment of Messrs. Tuffnell, Falkner, and Falkner, of Bath, and Stuckey's Somerset shire Banking Company. The Directors of the Manchester, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Sheffield Railway made their trip along the new line to Godby, about eight miles from Manchester, on Thursday last, and completed the journey in forty mi nutes.

A Young Men's Anti-Monopoly Association is about being formed in Sheffield. AGE= =MURAL. Upwards of eighty allotment holders under the Sut ton Valence system, dined together, after payment of their rent to Sir E. Filmer, in Kent, on Saturday last. These holders occupy each a quarter of an acre, - for which they pay seven shillings, and they expressed them selves most thankful for the benefit. k.:I6IIOI'IONEETZING. A public dinner was given by the Callington Reform Association, on Thursday last, to J. S. Trelawny, Esq., the son of the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall. Three hundred electors were present, and the result of the meeting was most cheering to the Liberal cause, there having been a most decided gain in the registrations for Callington, Liskeard, Launceston, and other places. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The medical strength of the army has been increased by the addition of 21 assistant-surgeol4 to the regiments in India and China. The 25th, at the Cape, is the only corps out of India that has three assistant-surgeons. Three lieutenants and three ensigns are to be added to the 98th Regiment, and it is to be recruited to 120 men above its establishment, in consequence of its having been placed under orders for China. Sixty anchors, and the same number of chain cables, with buoys, &e., are ordered to be sent to China for the purpose of throwing booms across the rivers and canals, to prevent fire-rafts being sent down to destroy our ship ping. LAW AND POLICE. Three boys were committed at the Hatton-garden office, on Monday, to take their trial for stealing from their parents, and the fathers in each instance were bound over to prosecute. At Guildhall a boy was committed to Bridewell for a month for attempting to pick pockets, in view of the gallows, on Monday. At Union-hall, on Monday, a case came before Mr. Cottingham, the Magistrate, respecting the practice of refusing temporary relief to persons applying for it With an order from a Magistrate, when Mr. Cottingham inti mated that for the future, if any in tance of that kind happened again, he would•inilict the full penalty (51.) on the- relieving overseer. An erroneous impression having been prevalent among apprentices that an indenture was not binding unless a premium had been paid to the master, a case was re terred to the City Solicitor, who conanunicatet4 his opi nion to the Chief Clerk at the Mansion-house on Monday, in which he states that "he could find no case in which the doctrine contended for was laid down, and he was, therefore, convinced, on referring to the different statutes on the point, that a Magistrate had jurisdiction whether a premium were paid or not. The Lord Mayor, acting . on this opinion, sent a refractory apprentice to the House of Correction, to be kept at hard labour, for a month. A number of lads, who were waiting the result, immediately scampered off to their ,work. At Marylebone office, Mr. Rogers, landlord of the Horse and Groom, Edgeware-road, was summoned by Inspector Black for allowing drunkenness and disorderly conduct in his house. The sergeant swore he saw drunken persons at the bar, and the constable who accom panied him swore he saw none, upon which the Magis trate dismissed the charge. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. . The Committee of Inquiry into the origin of the Tower fire was resumed on Monday in the 'Ordnance office before Colonel Peel : it is said to be the intention of the Committee to examine some scientific gentlemen upon the probability of the fire being the result of 'such stoves as were used in the Bowyer Tower. • Dr. Lardner, according to New York news, is en gaged to give a series of lectures, on scientific subjects, to the Mercantile Association of that City, during the approaching winter. THEATEICAX•.:.: The Antigone of Sophocles was perfornied at the Court Theatre at Potsdam on the 29th ult. The Greek cho ruses were set to music by Bartholdy, the composer. The King of Prussia is said to be passionately attached to the old dramatists of Greece, which is somewhat re markable, for crowned heads are apt to be very thick ones, and not by any means celebrated for classical accomplishments. A new opera, composed by Benedict, has been ac cepted at Covent-garden Theatre, and will beproduced at the earliest opportunity. On Monday night a new melodrame, entitled Sixteen- String Jack, was brought out at the Olympic Theatre. It is of the Jack Sheppard genus, and was successful. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, on .the news of the birth of the Prince of Wales reaching Aln wick, caused a salute of forty-one guns to be fired at the Castle. At Inverary Castle, also, the Duke of Argyll ordered a salute to be fired in commemoration of the auspicious event. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford arrived at Oakley house, Beds, on Monday, from Holkham-hall. The Duke of Rutland arrived in town on Monday from a tour. Viscount Duncannon has arrived in Cavendish-square from Ireland. Viscount Ingestre arrived on Thursday last at Curragh more, the seat of the Marquis of Waterford in Ireland. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has been on a visit, since Wednesday, at Petworth House.

It is supposed that not fewer than 30,000 persons, men, women, and children, collected on Monday at the Old Bailey, to witness the execution of Blakesley. The im. portunities of several keepers of houses in the Old Bailey, were carried to an indecent extent ; many of them acting as touters, and inviting, with the most pressing solicita tions, every one seen making their way through the crowd with " Walk in, Sir, walk up stairs : a fine view : walk up, we'll serve .you well you'll not find any seat so good and cheap as this." This day is the anniversary of the death of HuEli, Bishop of Lincoln, in 1200. His remains were interred with great pomp in Lincoln Cathedral, and his bier carried by King John of England, William, King of Scotland,and their principal Nobles. His body was af terwards exhumed in 1282, and placed in a silver shrine. The late Theodore Hook's effects are, we perceive. announced for Sale by Mr. Edmund Robins.

A Svotibl!Cobit of the Directors and Proprietors of the New Zeatatid , Compriny was held yesterday, at the room's- of the-Company, Broad-street-buildings, for .the purpose of receiving the fourth Report of the Directors. Among the 'gentlemen present were Mr. Joseph Somes, the Governor; the Hon. Francis Baring; the Deputy- Governor; Mr. Majoribanks, M.P.; Mr. Mangles, M.P., &c. &c. Mr. JOSEPH SOMES, the Governor, having taken the chair at one o'clock, the Report of the Directors was read by the Secretary, of which the following is an ex tract:— The present Court of Proprietors having been con vened for the specific object of recommending the decla r dion of a dividend, your Directors confine their Report to a statement of the grounds on which that recommen dation is made to you. On reference to the Directors' third Report (Appen dix, No. 6), a surplus of assets, exceeding the liabilities of the Company, is exhibited to the amount of 136,243/. 15s. 7d. This balance in the Company's fa vour induced the General Court of Proprietors in May last to declare a retrospective dividend of 10 per cent. Since that period the Company has been successful in realising a large additional profit, by means principally of the sales of land in the second settlement of Nelson, 483 allotments having been sold in London, ex clusive of a number of allotments appropriated for sale in New Zealand and the Australian Colonies. It will be seen by the first statement annexed to this Re port (Appendix A), that the amount of profits realized between the 6th of April and the Ist of October last, was 48,88;1, and that the general balance in favour of ; the Company up to that day, after all due deductions for current expenses, and making provision for the fulfilment of all liabilities in respect of emigration, and for other purposes, was 169,9611. 15s. 7d. Emigration to the Nelson settlement has actively commenced, and it has also been steadily continued to the settlements of Wel lington and New Plymouth, as will be seen by the se cond statement annexed to this Report (Appendix B). Previous to the consideration of a dividend, your Di rectors have deemed it their duty to appropriate 5,000/. of the profits thus realised by way of an addition to the. existing Guarantee Fund, a precaution which they trust you will not disapprove. Having dune this, they find themselves in a position to recommend to you to declare a dividend of lc/ . per cent. for the year fr im Ist of April, 1841, to the Ist of April, 1842. The dividend for the first half-year to the Ist of October will be . limited to the Proprietors of the Company's original Stock of 100,00 C/.; but the dividend for the second half year, ending the Ist of April next, will include all the Proprietors of new Stock, whose shares shall have been fully paid up before the Ist of February 1842. It appeared from an Appendix to the Report, that the totat profits of the Company amounted to 185,13C1. 15s. 7d., and the total outlay to 15,1691. ; leav ing to the Company a profit of 169,961/. :ss. 7d. On the Report being read, Sir I. L. GOLDSMID, Bart., came forward to move the following resolution That the Report now read be adopted, and that the same be printed and circulated among the Proprietors ; and that a dividend, after the rate of IC/. per cent. per annum, be now declared, con formably to the same Report." In moving the resolu tion, Sir Isaac Goldsmid briefly expressed his high satisfaction at the rising prosperity of the Colony, and at ; the very agreeable prospects which the financial state ment just made exhibited. He was decidedly of opinion that no greater bane& could accrue to the mother country, than that which was to be derived from ex tending her colonization. In support of this view the Honourable Baronet adverted to the disadvantages under which Holland laboured, from the want of a similar system ; and referred to a letter he had received from Haarlem complaining of that deficiency. He felt great satisfaction in finding that the Colony was founded on the principles of civil and religious liberty—(Hear, hear)—and of doing equal justice to men of all denomi nations.—(Cheers.) He should at the same time say that the late appointment of a Bishop met with his en tire concurrence; and lie hoped that looking to the popu lation of Port Nicholson, and the great increase which was likely to take place there, that the Bishop would come to the resolution of fixing his see on that spot, where several thousands had already been located through the exertions of the Company. WM. TRIMMER, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was put and unanimously carried. On the motion of Mr. G. DOWSON, seconded by Cap tain WILSON, the thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Governor and th 7 Directors. The Meeting then separated. ACCIDENTS AT THE EXECUTION. -- Two men and a woman were admitted to St. Bartholomew's Hospital on Monday morning after the execution of Blakesley, having sustained severe injuries. The female, whose name is Hannah Pocock, had her jaw broken, which is alleged to have been done in the crowd by a policeman's truncheon. The men were run over in the Old Bailey. Kirchoff, a Russian chemist, who discovered the process of converting starch into sugar, has made several experiments on milk, by which it appears that that fluid may be preset ved for use for an indefinite time. Fresh milk is slowly evaporated by a very gentle heat till it is reduced to dry powder, which is to be kept perfectly-drY in a bottle well stopped fur use. When required; it need only be diluted with a sufficient quantity of water; the mixture will then have all the taste and properties of new milk. This powder mu.t form a valuable addition to a sea stock of provisions. MORNING SUN COURT CIRCULAR.
