MORN IN G SUN to vindicate himself from such charges. With respect to his propcc:ai to raise the revenue to fifty millions, he thought that estimate was one which would have been borne out by the result. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was extremely inconvenient at all times to advert to statements which had been made elsewhere, and that in convenience was increased when the explanation was called for from a person who bad no opportunity of teensulting the persen who was stated to have made the statement. As•he had told the' Right Hon. Gentle man he had not seen the 'printed statement until the Right Hon. Gentleman . hire shown- it -to 'him that-even ing, and as he had been . in the House ever 'since; he bed had no opportunity of- consulting the patty who was represented- to have made the statement: He would, however, confess, that on reading that statement he un derstood it in a different sense "to that which the Right lion. Gentleman attached to it. The word "deficiency" had undoubtedly been used, but if the Right Hon. Gentle man would look to the report of that statement, he would see that it was made as a reason why the Go vernment could not at present go into a full development of their financial plans ; and it was stated that in addition to the deficiency of two millions and a half there were other great expenses connected with the Colonies which the Government would be called upon to consider. It the Right Hon. Gentleman had been in the House when the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had replied to that Noble Lord lately at the head of the Colonial Department, he would have heard a detailed statement of what several of those expenses were. There were also various expenses connected with China, which they might also possibly incur, and it was to these fur ther . and additional expenses that the statement complained of by the Right Hon. gentleman alluded. Such he believed to be the bona fide construction of the statement, and such was the explanation he offered to the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mr. F. T. BARING would not have asked for an ex planation if he had understood the statement in that sense. He was satisfied with the Right Hon. Gentle man's explanation. Sir R. PEEL believed that the explanation of his Right Hon. Friend was correct. Althoughke had not had an opportunity of consulting with the person who wee represented to have made that statement, be was satisfied ' that no impeachment had been intended of ; the acentracy of the Right Honourable Gentleman's estiniatelf in respect to the supplies and ways and means of thipresenteyear. indeed his Right lion. Friend, in , bringing forieard those estimates, had expressly stated= that he hed-every . reason to believe that the calculations-of the Right 1-fort. Gentleman were per fectly accaisatet s but he "(Sir R. reel) in the speech to which his Right HeeneFriend had alluded, had stated that there were other expenses besides those ofe the •present year, which must 'be considered by the Govern ment. In particular, he had stated that they must ex pect an increased , expenditure in future years in many of our colonies. He had 'mentioned particularly the colony of New South Wales of an instance, and he quoted the-despatch of the Noble Lord on the subject. There had beeh 'demands from-New Zealand to the ex .tent of between . 80;000E and 90,000/.. He also men-. tinned the expenses Lon .the civil establishment of the. island we occupy in the Canton River. There also had -been engagements entered - into with 'Native Princes of 'Africa, all of which would . eanse considerable expense.' ire (Sir R. Peel) was sure that the intention of his Noble Friend with ressiecteo his conceptions of what the Right lion. Gentleman hatTenid, was not to impeach the Right -Hoe. Gentleman's accuracy, so far as the estimates of ethe present yeae .were--concerned:, - There must, then'- be elite for considering the means cf supplying: those. expellees. He begged, in conclusion, to state that there was no intmetion whatever to attribute to the Right Hon. Gentleman any purpose of concealing what the expenses of the present year were likely to be. Lord PALMERST6N was glad of the explanation, for the impression made on his mind was certainly the same as that of his Right Hon. Friend. The emplane lion did show that what was stated might have referred net only to the inquiry of his Right Honour able Friend into the estimate of expenses, but to the :Vacuity Government must have to contend with in fnrenieg estimates fur the future. He (Lord Pal merston) at Let wish to renew the discussion with re gard to the proronittion of Parliament, or the opinions he had expressed on the discussion of those subjects which engrossed tho public mind. He would only say this much, that he shouid hope the Goverment would feel that those were questions which they should come to a decision upon. That it was not to be supposed that the chapter of accidents would lead to such a change of cir cumstances as to dispense with their coming to any dis cussion upon such important matters. He trusted when Parliament met again, that Government would be pre pared to state fully and fairly their intentions and opi nions upon the whole of those great, important ques tions of the commercial policy which had been dis cussed. With regard to the peculiar question of the Corn-laws, he would entreat them to pursue it them selves. Public expectation would not be fulfilled if, when they came again to Parliament, they should only provide an alteration in the sliding scale. He was satis fied that even supposing the distress which now exists, and which was in part denied, should have diminished, that it would make no change in the expectation of the public, that there should be a material alteration in the _present system of the Corn-laws, unless that alteration should be one which, whatever name might be given it. would be a substantial and bona fide permission to introduce corn at a moderate duty, be that duty a fixed one, or be it in accordance with the sliding scale. Unless, he re peated, it be a substaptial permission to import corn at a moderate duty, Gentlemen opposite need not perluade themselves that• any change falling short of such expec tion would satisfy the public. Sir R. PEEL:aaid that he had then no intention of en tering into a discussion of the Corn-laws. He had made many protestations of a contrary determination; and he did not intend at that late period of the Session to give any disclosures as-to the views of the Government. He would, however, assure the Noble Lord, that after an at tentive perusal of um- annals during the last five years, and particularly' of our - financial annals, he did entirely concur with the Noble Lord in thinking that to add an other Chapter to I ` , the Chapter of Accidents" they had already had--(Hearn hear, and laughter)— was a course which it would be quite impossible for any Government to adopt , with eredtt to themselves ur advantage to the C(MOitty...4l/01141 Clie9 of Hear, hear," on the Ministe rial ksnnans.)- • - The lieusetitesi.lAeljourned at Half-past Six •o'Clock .till, toemorrow. - - --- PUBLEC—VELLING AT GLASGOW.

I have within a few days listened to a discourse preached by a very talented clergyman, from that text in Prov. xxvii. 6, " Better is the poor that walketh in uprightness, than he that is perverse, though he he rich." The elo quent preacher quoted many passages from the inspired volume, to show that riches had a tendency to pervert the judgment, as " the righteous considereth the cause of the poor, but the wicked regardeth not to know it.' " Whoso stoppeth his ears to the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but lie shall not be heard." "He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, be shall gather it for him that will pity the poor." -1 When the righteous are in authority the people re aoiee,,,but when the wicked beareth rule the people imourn."

The patient they have tortured and are torturing no w cr i es out with agony; but, callous as an Indian, - they only regard the complaining sufferer with con tempt, and will sport and amuse themselves, un less society recover its boldness, and resolve -to set itself free. Some persons allege, as an excuse for their cruelty or their 'indifference, that an alteration in the Corn-laws at present would give no imme diate relief. -This is a great .mistake. Were the Corn-laws repealed, or . were even a small 40. duty - substituted for the sliding .scale, the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7. 141. ` , manufacturers wnuld instantly begin to prepare toe. a ibreiga market. They Would set their mills to AVer:•, and employ mor. people. They might never sell what they set the people to make they might next year be worse off than they are now ; but nevertheless a great deal of imm_- diate employment would spring from their hope of making sales, and a great instant relief would be afforded to the community by the re peal of the Corn•laws. Nor can we conceive anything more heartless, and more reprehen sible, than the conduct of those men—many of them. belonging to the working classes, all of them professing to wish well to freedom and - industry---who now, at various public meetings, even while they denounce the Corn-laws, inter fere to prevent a strong and an unanimous de mand being wafted to the Throne for their imme diate repeal. Whether they be Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR and his disciples, or any other class of Chartists, they now share the Tory guilt of starving the people of Pais ley, Leeds, Bolton, and Glasgow. 'Who ever now interferes to prevent a unanimous de mand for the repeal of the Corn-laws is as great an enemy to the suffering working classes as Lord STANLEY or the Duke of BUCKINGHAM. The Parliament, by the direction of the Minis ters, refuses to undo the ligatures with which it has bound society; and those who impede the demand for repeal, encourage arid support the Parliament in oppressing their brethren. Earnestly as we now press on our readers, and as we have long pressed on them, the propriety of devoting their attention first to procure a repeal of the Corn-laws, we are very far from supposing that it alone will be a remedy far all our social evils; but, of a great number of bad laws and institutions, the Corn-laws are those which most immediately injure us, which are amongst the most unjust, and which we must remove, before we can get rid of other• similar unjust enactments. We have no fear that we shall ever want a grievance when they are repealed ; but we insist strenuously that they are one of the greitest national griev ances, of which it is cruelty towards the work ing classes not most assidously to demand the redress. The Parliament is now to be prorogued, and the people must consider how they can le gally and constitutionally redress their. mighty grievances theinselves. • • •,' , ••• It appears probable, judging from the returns we published yesterday and the day before of the number of cases of , fever in Edinburgh and Manchester, that 1838 was unhealthy and fatal to life; and that 1837, though lesS unhealthy and less fatal to life than 1833, was much more un healthy and more fatal to life than the four pre ceding years. The year 1837 was the last of the favourable years. Trade suffered severely at the close of 1836, and before the month of June, 1838, the price of food had risen considerably, and distress was felt and complained of. Such being the facts, we regret that the records of the Registrar-General, whose Third Report has just been published by the House of Commons, do not date from an earlier period than June, 1837. During the first year's regis tration, from that period to June, 1838, our social distresses had begun; and there is no corresponding registration for the prosperous years, from 1832 to 1836, inclusive. We think it Tight at once to mention this fact, because some of our Contemporaries are publishing ex tracts and remarks on the Report just men tioned, and drawing from it all sorts of unwar rantable inferences. Remembering this important fact that 1837- 1838, is included in the bad years, we shall con tent ourselves now with quoting one remark from the Third Report, and one illustration of the devastating effects of the insufficiency of food in the following years. After making various allowances in order to institute a fair comparison between the mortality in the years 1838-1839, 1839-1840, and the year 1837- 1838—itself a year of more than ordinary disease and death—the Registrar-General comes to this conclusion. The increased mortality for the year IS3O-1840, as compared to the year 1837- 1838, was about 7,000, and, as compared to the year 1833-1839, 14,900. Thus, allowing for the increase of population, a great increase of morta lity took place in 1839-1840 above 1837-1838, which was itself a disastrous year. The mor tality of 1838-1839, was not quite equal to the mortality of the preceding year. We know, too, from the metropolitan weekly re turns, which we regularly publish, that the mortality this year is considerably less in pro portion than last year, showing, as we have be fore remarked, that when death has been very busy in one year less remains for him to do the next. So the ycars from 1837 to 1840 having been fatal years, the feeble of all ages, but par ticularly the feeble young, having been carried off in great numbers ; the year 1841, when its character comes to be summed up—the Re gistrar-General stops at present with 1840— will appear to be, in comparison with its immediate predecessors, a healthy year. We shall probably return to this subject, and to the Registrar-General's Report ; we must now content ourselves with reiterating the state ment, that the mortality of the year now de scribed in it is that it was unfriendly to life. Accounts from . Madrid state that the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO may be expected in that capital in the course of the month of October. A letter from Mahon, dated the 10th ul t.,appearsin El Corresponsal of the 27th, stating that France had evacuated the Military Hospital in the Isla del Rey, with great promptitude. The lease expired on the 3d, and on that day the surrender was made, the French authorities having left undisturbed, the building erected at the expense of their Government. Business commenced on the Madrid Bourse on the 27th, but little business was done. The Fives were done at 27i foi• cash, and 281 I at 60 days, and' the debt witlinut interest at 5; cash. The news from France, with the exception of the rumours and, speculations respecting the English and Freucli fleetsbefbre Tunis, possesses little interest:- M.tTntEaS, since his return to the capital,' has c - o'ki:Clei•ably modified his war lifze ideas aStio'ardS Germany; but, if we are to. v judge from an article in his Journal, he is as war.. like as ever.towanls this country. The Journal des Debats; .'itact the Ministerial organs, will hear of no disarmament, but the Constitu tionnel goes still farther, and cries out—" Peace to Germany and naval rivalry to England.',, We trust, however, that the deputies, who hold the strings of the national purse, by no means overflowing with wealth, will set their faces against a system which must either ruin the country by enormous and needless expenditure, or bring on:a universal war. The Cabinet, there fore, has wisely resolved to refer the questiorrof disarmament to the Chambers, which are to meet early in December. The Gazette de France publishes a letter from Birch berg of the 20th ult., stating that on that day the appa ratus had been removed for a short time from the leg of the Duke de Bordeaux, to ascertain whether it had been ,at all shortened. This, says the letter, was not the case, and the apparatus was to be removed altogether in a week. I We find the following in the And de LI Religion :—"lt has been stated by several journals that. on the 29th ult., the Feast of St. Michael, masses were asked for and pet formed at several churches in Paris, for the recovery of the Duke de Bordeaux. Having sought fur fuller infor mation, we learn that the masses iii thanksgiing fur the re-establishment of the health of the Prince, were ap plied for, but the clergymen, having consulted the au thorities, were told that they could not perform masses likely to give rise to any political demonstrations. , The Temps states, that before the Baron d'E-- . --7-- ab-. soonded from Paris, he invited several of his friendS.to . .a shooting party for Saturday, the better to conceal his intention of going away. It says that when the reports of hia leaving the capital were first but erroneously spread abroad, the Baron came to its office, accomPanied by a friend, to contradict the rumour, and thi, friend gave hi; word of honour as to the ineorreetness'Of the statement. "This same gentleman," the Temps' says, " is a loser by the Baron of 50,000 francs, and he fol lowed him to a .great distance . on the road he was sup posed to hate .taken, in the. hopes of corning up with him.

The Courtier de lu Drone states that the arrondisse ment, of Montelimart was visited, on the 26th • ult., and the three previous clays, by storms of Unusual violence, attended by an inundation, which • threat ened consequences as disastrous as the floods of last year. Every river and stream burst its banks, and did considerable damage to the bordering lands. A bridge over the Berre, near Taulingan, was carried away, and another over the Lez, at Colombier ; several houses, mills, and manufactories, were also washed away. Two persons belonging to Montelimart are missing, and are believed to have been drowned ; and two young men were drowned in endeavouring to save the lives of others. A young woman of Pierrelatte was killed by lightning in a hut, where she had taken shelter, and several other persons and many cattle in the fields were struck, and suffered more or less from the action of the electric fluid. _ _ The following is an article of La Presse, a French . Ministerial paper, upon Tunis:—" The Bey of Tunis and the Pacha of Tripoli had been fur a long time indepen dent of the Porte.- Their that with respect to the Sultan was . analogoua of the 'Dey of Algiers be fore our conquest At it certain: time the Porte, wishing to render theM more - subject fo it, deter Mined to send an expedition against them; but, as it could not subdue them both at once, it•tletermined to. attack Tripoli first. A flotilla left ConstantinOple,..and landed ~an army of Turks at Tripoli,-on. the. of May; .1 833; The in ternal situation of thdeconntry..favoured.the.designs the Porte. The brother and• Son of the late Pacha dis puted the supreme power. The .former was shut up in th:! town, and the latter was in possession of the country. The Turkish Admiral,Mustaplia Nedgib, craftily an nounced to Sidi Ali, the Pacha occupying Tripoli, that he brought him succour against his nephew. Sidi Ali, deceived by this declaration, let the Turkish troops take possession of the town, and was so imprudent as to vizit the Admiral in his ship. There he was kept prisoner, and sent in a few days to Constantinople, where he died in obscurity. As to the nephew, he was soon brought to reason, and the Porte re-seized its old authority upon this Regency. The Bey of Tunis still leuntined to be subdued ; the Porte had a greet wish to subdue it as it had dune Tripoli. Encouraged by its first success, it sent a second squadron to Tunis, under the command of Tahir Pacha, who had instructions to reduce the l3ey by cunning or by force. But France having learnt his project sent Admiral Hugon from Toulon with a French squadron, which came before Tunis almost at the same time as Tahir Pacha. The latter thought it prudent to turn back, and sailed to Tripoli, where he strengthened the authority of tae Porte, shaken by internal factions. Affairs remained in this state during a few years ; the Porte has several times renewed its attempts, and espe cially under the Ministry--of Count Mold; they have always failed before the attitude .of }ranee ; in these last times it appears that it intended to pat its old project into execution, and that Tahir Pacha was ordered to sail to Tunis, after having put an end to the insurrection of Caliche. France, faithful to the same policy, has again tried to hinder the re-action so much desired by the Porte. For this reason M. Leray was sent a few weeks ago to Tunis with an imposing naval force; and TahirPacha, convinced of the inutility of his sailing thither, abandoned the idea, and returned to Constantinople. Now, why has France intervened ? Why does it prevent Tunis returning tinder French domination? France, which insisted so much upon Mehemet Ali's preserving a certain independence in his relations with the Sultan, could not, without inconsistency, abandon the Bey of Tunis. Here France has a more direct interest than in Egypt. The regency of Tunis touches the Beyliek of Constantine, where our dominion is now settled. It is of great importance to us that the master of Tunis should not be subject to the Porte. If, in fact, the Porte reigned as sovereign on our frontiers of Constantine, it would be a bad neighbourhood for us ;we would be in continual quarrels with it, and, what is worse, with all its protectors. Hence, a permanent chance of difficulties, and perhaps of collisions. Add to this, that the Arabs of this part of Africa are not of the same religious sect as the Turks ; they recognise as their chief the Emperor of Morocco, whilst the latter regard the Sultan as the legitimate successor of the Prophet. If these two sects were put in contact, a terrible war would take place, which would add to all the cause of subversion which we are striving to put an _end to, and would probably force us to intervene. The result of this intervention would be, that we should have both enemies upon our hands; in any case it would delay two years the pacification of Algeira, which we are so desirous to bring about. This simple exposure of facts suffices to explain tte French policy, and to justify it. Besides, for the moment the Porte has abandoned all projects against Tunis; now the object of our diplomacy must be to bring about serious and definitive settlement. And our sea forces must prevent it, as they have done two or three times, if any attempt is made. BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, OCT. 4. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pric..

On Saturday died,-at. his residence in Paris, aged 63, Grimaldi Honore V., Prince of Monaco, Duke of Valen tinois, Peer of France. Grandee of Spain of the First Class, and a Noble of Genoa. The accounts from the principal wire growing dis tricts in France, Burgundy, Champagne, the Ithone, and the Gironde, are on the whole very favourable. The Duke of Devonshire has arrived at Munich. The licanburgh Gazette of the 24th ult. states that the object of the Conference between the Emperor of Rus sia and the King of Prussia at Warsaw was to take into consideration a proposal made by the British Govern ment, for a general disarming or diminution of all the fleets in Europe. The Konigsberg Gazette calls the attention of the European Powers to the display of military made by Russia on the Prussian frontier. General Maroto, who signed the Convention of Ber gara, by which Don Carlos was driven out of Spain, has addressed a letter to Colonel 21ilkm, complaining of the rias at Valencia, in consequence of , the appointment of two Carlist Officers, who served under him, to military appointments in that City. Though the General takes up the matter -a . little too warmly, considering that one . of the officers was obnoxious to the citizens for acts committed during the reign of King Fer dinand, we have little doubt that his letter will be pro ductive of much good in Spain. In no country is a union of the inhabitants of every shade of opinion more necessary to the advancement of the general prosperity than in Spain. PAUZIADIZNTAILY. There was no House of Lords last night, but the Peers meetthis day at one o'clock, to be present at the proro gation of Parliament by commission. • The Commons met as usual, and Mr. Wakley, for what purpose we know not, gave notice of a motion for next.. session, . for a radical reform in, the':House . 'of ; CatereOns.' T4..this to blind or pacify, his Radies&COn stituents till' the House again meets?. . brought.under the .Uotice.,of .the House the ease of Lord G. Paget, wha pe.titioned.,.against the return for Carnarvon, and •who•,-failed to-complete .his recognizance by having 'entered'intoit ,before,a Magia trate 41/e 'Cardigan, when the.Aet,' insperutively requires that it shall be entered: . into .before..a..Magistrase fof the county wherein the boi-ongli is situated. Mn Buller wished an indulgence granted to Lord G. Paget, and asked that the law should be set aside ; but on the motion being opposed, he withdrew it. In the discussion, some remarks were made about bribery and its remedies, which arc worth reading. Mr. Wakley brought under the notice of the House the case of a Scotch gentleman, who has been confined in a lunatic asylum as a madman by his friends on ac count of some family quarrel, which is like many similar hard cases, we are afraid, in England ; but on Sir William Rae promising to institute an inquiry, the Hon. Gentle-. man allowed the subject to drop. An Address to the Queen, got up at Tamworth, which appears to have been improperly signed, was also the subject of a brief discussion. The Government have sent the Address to Tamworth, and have ascertained :that some of the signatures are not genuine. It was not, however, thought so badly of as to be withheld from the Queen. It will go with the bundle, and be thrust aside in the usual manner with the petitions and ad dresses of the people. The late Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Baring) referred to something said by the Duke of Wellington, in the. other House, relative to ,the First Lord of the Treasury having been in greater deficit in the revenue than Mr. Baring had stated, and he applied for an ex planation. Both the present Chancellor of the Ex chequer and Sir Robert Peel bore testimony to the ac curacy of Mr. Baring's estimates, but stated that several demands had since come in, which was what the Duke Meant.' The House adjourned at Half-past Six, to meet this day at Two;- to be prorogued. PUZLXC OPINION. The - Morning Chronicle appears to entertain an im pression that, during the recess, Sir Robert Peel will bring the qUestion of the Corn-laws before his colleagues, with a view to propose some alteration in them. " From what the•Dukeof Wellington said in reply to the Earl of Radnor," observes our Contemporary, " it seems that his declaration ow the previous evening was made in too unqualified a way, and that he does contemplate, at some future period, some change in the Corn-laws. The Duke of Richmond, too, tried to back out of his famous threat to Sir Robert Peel, that We' who put him in would turn him out, if he dared to meddle with theV,orii-laws. We may, therefore, infer that a Corn lum; -Ciiiiference has been held, and that Sir Robert Peel, by taking out his resignation, and hol& iug it ,at half-cock at their heads, has partly frightened and partly coaxed the great representatives of the landed interest' to consent to a prospective change. The value and extent of that change, however, may be guessed from the language of the Duke of Richmond, who still considers an Bs. duty as a piece of madness, and loudly demands ample protection for the agricultural interest. But in the reluctant concessions to public opinion made by the Dukes of Wellington and Richmond. we see alsrohability that during the recess some attempt may be made to patch up a scheme which the united Cabinet' may be led to bring before Parliament during next Session, in the hope that an appearance of change may enable them to cheat the people of its reality." —Such a change in the Corn-laws as will really be benefi cial to the country, is not to be expected from a Cabinet constituted like the present. The Duke of Buckingham alone is a guarantee for the Ministers making no altera tion worth accepting. Ilis Grace had been thrust into office by the land-owners, solely for the purpose of keep ing up their darling monopoly ; and no concessions will he allow to be made, but such as are purely nominal. As for Sir Janus Graham, we think nothing of his opposi tion. Having no guiding principle of action, what should prevent him from turning round again, as he has so often done before ? Still, we repeal, nothing is to be expected, in the way of useful Corn-lalv Reform, from Ministers. They are bound up with the aristocracy ; they are sworn to do its bidding ; and they will—for the slaves cannot help themselves—do it at all hazards ! The Times sneers at the Corn-law Reformers in the manufacturing districts, in a style that might be mis chievous, were not its venom neutralized by its exceed ing vagueness and clumsiness. There is a would-be aristocratic hauteur and loftiness in our Contemporary's manner that is infinitely amusing. We quote a portion of his comments :—" In all the great hives of manufac turing industry, you unifiirmly find a certain proportion of humming hornets, who, happening to have gained the ear and confidence of their associates, are continually haranguing them upon their alleged wrongs—busily conniving with the factory demagogues of the me tropolis—superintending an extensive conspiracy for hatching 'grievances or demanding redress —and ever contriving to lay their clutches upon the contribu tions of credulous dupes for the- purpose of support ing theinselves in mischievous idleness, as delegates, for sooth, to'a grand National Convention ! To what extent this vulgar species of humbug has been practised in Man chester' Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Glasgow, Dun dee, and other places, maybe tolerably well estimated, both from the fierce quarrels of the principals last year when dividing the spoil, and. also from the angry re proaches of the misguided masses whom they severally affected to represent. • Such jobbing collusions, however, are by no means confined to the lower vermin of the fac tories. • Your hutigry•hornets, with glossier wings and a yet bolder bite, • are to 'be found-regaling their instincts upon victims a single remove' higher. The buzzing sec taries who disported for a few days at Manchester, as well as the stinging tribe of Anti-Corn-law leaguers, are all of the same genus." The Herald affects the jocular, in noticing a remark made by Lord Melbourne on Monday night in the House Of Lords. As it is but seldom that Grandmama attempts smartness or drollery, we subjoin a specimen of her powers on the present occasion, if only by way of no verty.:—‘‘Lord Melbourne has, like Shy loch, been dream ing so . earnestly of ' money bags,' that he has actually on his awakening felt convinced that h e h a d the power of the Bank of England. in his right hand, and in his • left the combined influence of all the millionaires of the City. With this strength, how ever, the Noble Lord commingles mercy and kindness; he will allow the Stock Exchange to exist ; he will not tumble down the value of the funds ; he will not • stop the Bank of England ; he will not wholly ruin the British public. This merciful intention Lord Mel bourne announced on Monday—' I will not,' declared the ex-Premier, say one word that will produce any effect on the money market Thank Heaven ! The City of London is at present to he spared a conversion into a modern Petra grass is not at once to spring up in Lombard-street, desolation is not immediately to be the only resident in Threadueedle.street, silence is nut hereafter to prevail in Capel-court, St. Swithen's lane is net to become the abode of the solitary and por tentous raven.

This is, indeed, a tower " o f strength, which it is to be , re g retted " they of the adverse faction want." The Reformers may bid defiance to the sophistry of a Peel,. and the lumbering logic .of a Grahank ; they may even resist successfully the noisy declamation of the..A.lon ' derer of Printing-house-square ; but they earLiot rea sonably j brilliant, lightning-like sarcasm of Granduunruna, . . li—VlZAZE—CO:PiLvialt,c ,. .;e:.

Satisfactory as are the evidences of some slight improve ment in trade in the manufacturing districts, the Gazette of last night again tells a tale not to be mistaken. It gives evidence of great suffering. and embarrassment prevailing in most dqartinents of trade, and appears to indicate that we have nut yct passed through the ordeal imposed npon us by various untoward circum stances, of which deficient crops are the chief. The accounts from the Continent are not satisfactory relative to trade. The new return of the total circulation of promissory notes in Great Britain for the month ending the 18th ull., exhibits a contraction of issues to the extent of 831,0001., the Bank of England having taken the lead, and the private banks having followed. This ac 'counts for the scarcity of money last month, and proba bly the same course is still being pursued. . • Consols, Account, 89+ ; Ditto November, Mexican, 24+4 ; Portuguese, 31 311 ; Spanish, 22i 4.
