I S 4.. from these and similar circumstances that the ► foundadon for improvement proposed to be laid by Sir ROBERT PEEL, with a view gradually to ameliorate the state of society, mainly con sist in an increase of priests and churches. The WW2- scheme of education will give into the hands of the Tories the ends of a great net, in which they may catch the whole public mind. Sir R. PEEL. means, we believe, to drill society, if he be uAlowed, into Toryism. By the help of schools and priests he will model the national mind according to the aristocratic scheme of what is good for mankind. We shall watch the Tory proceedings, but our present impression is that the design and intention of Sir R. PEEL is to try and fashion society into a form agreeable to the Tories, and keep it in that form. Hunger he probably thinks may tame JOHN Bum. as well as a lion, and, by means of the hunger to which the Legislature dooms the people, he hopes to subdue all refractory spirits and esta blish in the land for evermore the unquestioned dominion of the Tories and the clergy. It is not.very easy to say anything new on the Corn-laws, yet Mr. THORNELY, in his excellent speech on Monday evening, did state two new arguments against the sliding scale. First, he showed that it virtually abrogated our commer cial treaty with America. With that republic we have a treaty which pledges us to place them on the same footing as the most favoured nation, Of course, therefore, our corn market should be open to the merchants of New York, on the same terms as those of Hamburgb. But the effect of the sliding scale, and the mode of work ing the average,-is to exclude the United States from our corn market, and place it in the hands of the Russians and the Prussians. While we may be inundated with wheat from Rostock or Stettin. or St. Petersburgh, not a grain can come in from New York. It...is impracticable to enter cargoes from such a distance, though ordered in anticipation of a rise in prices, with the chance of their arriving here when the duty on wheat may be 258. the quarter. Hence the sliding or jumping scale is an injustice to the United States, and abrogates our commercial treaty with that country. Secondly, Mr. TnonNELv.remarked that the sliding scale, contrary to all the principles of political science, imposes the heaviest duty on the lowest priced article. By the last week's returns the average weekly price of a quarter of wheat is 71s. 2d., and the duty is ls., while the average weekly price of a quarter of oats is 235. 6d., and the duty is 245. Thus the lowest priced commodity is subjected to the highest duty, and the highest priced the lowest. The same remark may be . extended to wheat itself. The duty diminishes as the price rises, while on mast commodities the duty is proportionable to their value. All ad valorem duties are levied on this principle. The Corn-laws, therefore, equally violate the principles of political science and of political honesty. Mr. THORNELY put these and several other points very neatly and forcibly, which makes us regret that a gentleman who speaks so much to the purpose does not speak oftener. Lord STANLEY " spoke for and hour and twenty-two minutes," says the Manchester Guardian, at his nomination on Tuesday last. His speech was little more, however, than a re petition of his speech at the general election. He professes, in addition, a great admiration of Sir R. PEEL, whose arguments, as well as whose manners, he seems to have adopted. He is like the Baronet, a stout defender of the present Corn-law, in which he acknowledges no imper fection ; and, like the Baronet, he ascribes the distress of the manufacturers to their great acti vity and wonderous skill, contrary to the philo sophy of TURGOT, SMITH, and SAY. His Lord ship concludes that the vast capability of produc tion in this great commercial country will for ever cause periodical fluctuations—a most hopeless and cheerless doctrine, which implies that the more we advance in knowledge, skill, and power, the more we shall be exposed to such disasters as now overwhelm us. Fortunately for mankind, Lord STANLEY'S reasoning is no more conclusive, and no better founded, than that . of Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and, great masters as they both are of words, they never will convince the public that production leads to distress, that the use of machinery curtails wealth, and that com merce, of which the principle is- to spread all the productions of mankind equally over all, leads to fluctuations. Lord STANLEY met, in Mr. JOHN BROOKES, from Manchester, with a stubborn questioner, who ex torted from the Noble Lord an admission that the Corn-laws increased rent; but the Noble Lord en deavoured most painfully to shuffle out of the con clusion that the increase of rent was at the expense of the people. His Lordship had so much of Mr- BROOKES that he appealed to the Sheriff whe ther there should not "be some limit to the questions." His Lordship managed, by the aid of his friends, to silence Mr. BROOKES, if he could not answer him. His Lordship was elected without further trouble or opposition. The Paris journals of Monday have all reached us, but the express received on Tuesday from Paris enabled us to anticipate much of their contents in our Afternoon Edition. In the National we find the following brief re port of the disturbances in the capital : The crowds were more numerous, bat quite as insignificant on Sunday evening as the preceding days, The curious were the majority, and at seven o'clock there was scarcely room to pass on the Boulevard, and in the Rue St. Martin. From time to time cries of " Deem with the police !" were heard. A police agent, in plain clothes, who had just ar rested a young man, was surrounded, and forced to loose his hold of the prisoner; having been disarmed, he would have probably undergone rough usage, had he not taken refuge in a wine shop. Some discharges were made by the horse municipal guard. We are informed that several of the curious were wounded, among whom were some women. At half-past ten the crowd had dispersed. We have heard of nothing serious having taken place during the evening. We learn that several citizens were wounded. A young man who had been pierced by the bayonet of a municipal guard, was carried to the Hospital St. Louis in a hopeless state. The speeches of Lori Jonx RUSSELL GIBI Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the Homo of Commons, are commented upon in several of thr, - French Journals. The Presse discovers in the homage paid to France by all parties in England, the best j'roof, if proof were wanted, that France has lost none of her influence—nothing of her ascend anc7—and that the importance of her alliance is as much felt now as it ever was. The Presse is correct upon this point. England never under-rated th.; influence of France, nor does she now. The only parties who discovered that France was reduced to the proportions of a second rate Power were M. TRIERS * and his colleagues, and the then French Ministerial journals. They—not England— represented France as weak and dishonoured. The birds that fouled the nest were reared in it. The article of the Courrier Francais is worth quot ing, because it embraces a point with ref& rence to the personal influence of the KING, which is more or less dwelt upon in most of the other Journals. It might perhaps be as wise on the part of English Mem bers of Parliament not to distinguish so carefully be tween the inclinations of the King of the French and the wishes of his subjects. Our Gallic Contemporary's hint with regard ti. this is worth being attended to. " In the Debate of the 17th, in the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell gave utterance to worts which do them both infinite honour. These two states men protested with a generous indignation against the foul attempt on the life of the Duc d'Aurnale. Friends or enemies to France, every political man must cherish the same feeling. We must, however, remark on the manner in which Sir Robert Peel worded his admiration of the King of the French. We do not like to see foreigners professing the opinion that the preservation of peace is due to the per • sonal influence of King Louis Philippe, as in that ease France is supposed to wish for war at any hazard, and her King to preserve peace at any price. Such a contradictory tendency lof the Sovereign and the people canno t b e a ll owed to exist in matters of any import. Sir ROBERT PEEL has told us, " that all the Legislature could lope to do is to lay the. foun dation for improvements which would snake a gradual amelioration in the state of s ociety." The _Morning Post is the Journal roost fa voured with Sir ROBERT PEEL'S contid , :mce. It speaks his sentiments, tells beforehand what he is going to do, and is the organ of his opinions. Whatever falls from it, therefore, concerning ,‘ the foundation for improvements which may make a gradual amelioration in society" is worthy of public attention. For some time past the Post has been a diligent advocate of the Church of England, and it yester day quoted with approb a ti on i n one of its 'Leaders a work by a Mr. PALMER, in which lie says 6,000 a dditional cl ergy are at this moment requi site in England and Wales. Mr. PALM2R Points ou t t h e means for obtaining this additional num ber, with that, however, we h ave at present no "business.

Ii the peopb are to be thus pro c t` re aLsolutely necessary that a very great increase o, ta Clergy should take place. Such doctrines are not now broachc'd for the first time ; they have been repeatedly put forth, and the fall in remarkably well with SirltinEwr I'Enl.'s often -repeated declaration, that the State is bound to provide religious instruction, of course in the principles of the Church of Eng land, for all the people. They accord with all the striving of the priest party for church ex tension, and form part of the magnificent scheme advoCated by Dr. CuALmEits—esta . blishing - an Increased army of priests in every part of the land as a moral police, which he has told us would be of far more use to the peo ple than the repeal of the corn-laws. We infer " Between two nations equal in power and in riAts, peace is the result of mutual moderation in the Govern ments, and not of the influence of individuals. If England, instead of dece,ving France, as she lately did, cultivates our friendship and respects our interests, war is impos sible. But, let it be remembered, if the line of conduct first marked oat by the Treaty of the 15th July be continued in, no Government will prevent all France from rushing to arms . To praise our Government,' whilst the rights of the French people are, at the same time outraged, is not making it is only rendering us mistrustful of our ruler s ." it up The e with tts Emperor ; of Russia left Zarskoezelo in the night of the 4th Inst. for Lithuania. Thorwaldsen, the sculptor, passed through Florence on the 2d inst., on his way to Rome. He had the honour of dining with the Grand Duke of Tuscany, who invited the chief artists of the city to meet him. A letter from Ems states that Alme. Thiers, who has re maim d there for the benefit of the waters while M. Thiers went on to Vienna, is recovered from her late illness, and is Preparing to return home. M. Thiers left Vienna on the 11th, and passed through Munich on the 13th, on his way to Ems. The Frankfort papers state that Rubini and Madame Per- siani hay , been on a profersional visit to Johannisberg, where, on the invitation of Prince Metternich, they had the honour of singing before the distinguished diplomatists assembled there. A St. Petersburgh letter says that it is only the roof of St. George's Hall which has fallen in. The damage done is, as was stated, immense, but many of the pictures and works of art can be repaired. The Hall was constructed entirely by Russian archit:•cts. A committee has been named to report on thn cause of the accident. The Marseilles papers mention a violent assault committed, on the 16th instant, on the Captain of a British schooner, the Criterion, by one of his men, with whom he had long been on bad terms. The man, on a quarrel arising between them, knocked the Captain down, stamped on him, and, then taking his head in his hands, knocked it agtinst the deck, until he was quite senseless. -The gendarmes arrested the sailor. The Captain continues in a state of some danger. Lieutenant-General St. Michel had a private audience of the King yesterday. The Amide la Charle (of Clermont) of the 17th of Sep tember has the following intelligence : " A detachment of Dragoons and of Gendarmes went last night to the Communes of Chauriat, Chas, and Vertaizon, to put into execution the writs issued for the arrest of the male factors, who on Monday last were guilty of plundering and de. vastating several houses in the first of those villages. Four teen persons pointed out as having participated in these crimi nal acts were conveyed this morning t the prison of Clermont. " To-day a battalion and a half of the 44th Regiment and a battery of artillery have arrived at Clermont. '1 ri-morrow and the day after we txpect two other battalions of the 44th, and another battery. " We can now mention the name of another officer wounded in the disturbances of the 9th and 10th of September. Mr. Lemoine, sub-Lieutenant of Dragoons, had his left arm broken above the wrist, in consequence of Cie fall of his horse. which was struck by a stone thrown by the rioters. We do not know the name of the other officer who received a blow from a st ,ne from which he is still Suffering severely." The Courrier de la More& (Metz) announces that its numbers of the 14th and 16th have been seized. The division of Toulouse has received orders to send imme diately, by forced marches, a battery of artillery to Clermont. This battery arrived on the lit-b.—Emancipation.. Tte four Companies of the ith Regiment of Light Inrantry, which came by forced marches, set out on the 18th for Macon ; those of the 67th of the line, which were to r,.maira in garrison at Chalon-sur-Soane, received yesterday afternoon at five &clock sudden orders to proceed to Clermont. and set out on the 18th at three iii.the morning :7 Patriote de Soare et Loire. all, with the sole exception, perhiV, of the Duke of Wel ington. The Advertiser says :—" Where is now the boasted balance of powers in the British Constitution ? The • wishes of the Sovereign, personal and political, che rished from her earliest age, and grown strong in her more mature judgment, are set at nought ; the wishes • and wants of the people, con curr i ng t o the same eetit as those desired by the Monarch, are nut •nly set at nought, but scouted with contunwly and scorn ; while a band of obligarchs reign supreme over both Sovereign and people, without even deigning to explain the terms upon which their tyrannic sway is to be administered er endured. Are we wrong in charaCterising such a phase of the British Constitution as a most contemptible caricature ? The fact strikes too home and too grievously . uon the conviction to admit of eith er d ou bt or dental.'---- There is, indeed, no denying the fact that the aristocracy now possess, and will most assuredly exercise, the same despotic power that they possessed during the reign of the boroughmongers. They then wrought mischief by means of the Gattons, Old Sarums, and East Re tfords ; they now work it by means of the Chandos clause. In fact, they are once again firmly seated in the saddle, and will never be unhorsed, except by some such vigorous, united determination, on the part of the people. as carried the Reform Bill. And this determination, forced on by in exorable necnsity l a will manifest itself, ere long, for Re form, at present, is a mere cipher---a name, not a thing— a shadow, not a substance. • The Chronicle contains • the following remarks sug gested by the Corn-laws :—" " More time, more time,' is still the cuckoo cry of the Tories. And while the To ries are taking time, the monopolists are taking money. There is no suspension of the Corn-laws or, import duties while Sir Robert Peel is considering. The bread tax returns upon the poor man every Wesl time, unless the time return without the meal. The landlord allows not the delay which is claimed by the Atnister. At this very moment a loaf of bread in London costs just twice the price of a loaf of equal size and quality in Paris. Toe Spitalfields weaver pays tenpence for Ins fivepenny worth of bread while Sir Robert Peel is taking time to consider. And this consideration is to endUre for months. This extortion is to endure for months. Whether Parliament be sitting or prorogued, that goes on just the same." We quote '4,tie following from the Post :—" If we may judge from the variety of delusive, and even false state ments, with which the ex-Ministerial party endeavour to mislead the public mind, they are very much at a loss for any valid matter of objection to the proceedings of the present. Gcvernment."—God knows there are valid objections enough to be urged against the Tory Ministry! We f.fejeet to them—and so does every right-thinking :fan in the community who is not jaundiced by preju dice—that they are anti-Reformers under the flimsy disguise of Reformers ; that they have deluded us on the Corn-law question ; .and practised a gross fraud on the people, by turning out the Whigs on the pretext that they had done little or nothing-during the Session ; and then forcieig themselves into cflices and, if posible; doing still less. We object to them, moreover, that they are men, not of principle, but of. expediency ; and that the only man among them all whose straitforward character may he depende on, is the only one who holds no office, and is consequently irresponsible. The Herald twacidles with its usual happiness on the subject of the Corn-laws, observing:—" A repeal of the Corn-laws is sought that the legitimate influence of the landed interest may be destroyed, and that coarseness, vulgarity, and despotic democracy may rule the roast. The " standard of rent" is said to be " lowering the standard of everything else in the kingdom ;" and rent must • therefore he got rid of. Home grown corn is valueless; all that we want are home made cottons. The landlords are the support of Conservatism, and there fore landlords must be .destroyed ; if a repeal of the Corn-laws should nut realise .that destruction, the Ra dicals would then demand an agrarian law. The creed of Radicalism has become as terse as was that of the great enemy of Carthage; rent must be destroyed."— Nonsense like this is unworthy even of the ll7rald. Is it likely that such vast landowners as the Dukes of Bed ford and Devonshire, Earls Spencer, Radnor, Fitzwil- Ham, and others of the great Whig aristocracy, Would like to see rent destroyed, and so reduce themselves from affluence to comparative poverty? And yet these men are all opposed to the present Corn-laws— all equally anxious with the Radicals for a material alteration in the impost ! The following is from the Dublin Pilot:—" We have now the prescription of the state quack, and it consists in —nothing. Postponement, postponement—humbug, dis honesty—in the Minister—ruin to the nation. How the charlatan wasted himself upon the question of a few thou sands' expenditure, while the House and country were breathless to know what secret of public salvation had this state doctor ready which could warrant him in re moving men who proposed a plan for the object, and in sulted and outraged the country, by involving it in a desperate struggle, if lie had not something tangible of - his own to substitute for that which he superseded." The Devonshire ChronitL says—" What the British nation may choose to endure, we are not aware ; but that any civilized nation will treat the Peel Cabinet with cor dial respect, is morally impossible ; the means by which they obtained power is as well known in other parts of the world as they are here, and the Government will un derstand and weigh their value to a very great nicety ; we shall very soon witness a change in our foreign rela tions, which will show the value that is set upon Eng land, under a bigotted and despbtic rule." The Brighton Guardian comments as follows on Sir Robert Peel's course of policy :--" He is placed,in power to preserve the aristocracy and our aristocratic institu• tions, and he will act on this principle as long as possible. His office is that of resisting the onward march of de mocracy, not of submitting to time and circumstances ; and he will quietly resist it as long as he can. He will now. do nothing, therefore, till he learns what are exactly its demands, and what is its power." COIVIIVIEFLCIAL ELEPOZIVI. Great public 'meetings have within these last few days taken place at Salford, Reading, Paisley, Bath, Stratford, Marylebone, Mile-end, and a host of other considerable towns and boroughs, for the simultaneous purpose of petitioning the Queen not to prOrogue Parliament till the Corn-laws have been thoroughly investigated. Petitions are also lying fbr signatures in at least fifty of our different metropolitan towns, and signatures to the amount of many thousands are already appended. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, SETTEMBER 23, 1841± Stopford, third daughter of Admiral Sir Robert Stop- I ford, G.C.B, Governor of Greenwich Hospital, was so- lemnized on Tw slay by special license, at the old church, Greenwich.

To-day is the anniversary of the death of Dr. Matthew Baillie, the eminent author ; he was brother to Joanna Baillie, and nephew to the celebrated John and William Hunter. _ _ Tuesday night about ten o':doek, Mr. Burden, landlord of the King's Head public-house, Eastcheap, was murdered by a man of the name of Blexley, married to the sister • of the ur.fortunate man's wife. The assassin first attempted the life of his wife, and then rushing at Mr. Burden, who had awoke out of his sleep, from the noise, stabbed him to the heart with a butcher's knife. The murderer immediately made his escape. The population of Belfast., according to the present census, is 100.000, In 1831, it was under 62,000. The increase is 63 per cent. in ten years. The Carmarthen Journal states that " as a youth of the name of John Taylor, was walking last week on the banks of the Tivy, he, to his great astonishment, saw a fine trout Is big on its back, and playing all sorts of strange antics. After a little difficulty he succeeded in getting it ashore, when he found, on examination, that it was right my :11g drunk, and that it had a large quid of tobacco in its mouth, which had doubtless been dropped by some person into the river, and which must have occasioned its vagaries."—Father Matthew should administer the tem perance pledge to this drunken fish. It will not be the first odd fish to whom he has administered it. R.I.TMOIIRS or THE DA7. We hear it wid;;;edTiTatßert7aTdCtvaMigh, the extra ordinary fasting man, has had an interview with Sir R.

The meeting at the East India House to-day is very thinly attended. It is lamentaMe indeed to see the apathy evinced by The proprietors at large, in the many impottant questions brougit coottnually under the notice of the Court, by one or two of the more persevering members of their body, questions, too, which everywhere out of doors excite the greatest interest and attention. We may take as an instatce the case of the Raja. of Sahara, which has been al most entirely supported and canvassed. pro et con., by about a dozen Proprietors, although thous nds have fol lowed the arguments in print with avidity and warm , h of feeling. In fact, too many of the Proprietors are apt to rely upon the accounts published in the public jour nals, which, able as they are, ,ce no more intended to save the personal attendance of those Proprietors who can be present, than the Parliamentary debates are meant to justify the Mem bers in absenting themselves from their duties.

We last night received a lecture upon. the new system of artificial memory devised by Major Beniowski, and the results of which, as manifested in his own, expe rience, were exhibited on Tuesday to the company as sembled at the Adelaide Gallery. On Tuesday the ex positions of the new system were confined to displays of the Professor's own powers, and they proved nothing whatever as to the possibility of imparting to others the same facility of recollection, or the same permanence of remembrance, which the Lecturer himself possessed. We. have for many years attended to the mechanical systems projected by benevolent and philosophical men for aiding the memory, upon the principle' of association, which Kant has clearly shown to be altogether chimerical. With respect to Major Beniowski, we must pre mise that on one occasion the writer of these remarks did accuse him, but not by name, of being an agent of Russia. The circumstances under which the accusation was made warranted the accusation. Other facts have come to our knowledge, which convince us that the charge was founded in malignity, .and we have the assurance of a Noble Lord, whose affections for Poland cannot be doubted, that no Pole who suffered in the Re volution of 1830 dared more, or suffered more, than the calumniated Major. - It cannot be questioned by his most intimate friends that the course of conduct which he thought proper to adopt in the political crisis of this country was signally wrong; but his heroic and gal lant conduct on the 25th of April, 1830, when he went over under a heavy fire from the Russian ranks, in which he served as Major, to the ranks of his compatriots, and has proved by his subsequent conduct, under all the horrors of poverty and slander, at once his fidelity and his folly. The subject of Major Beniowski's lecture on Tues day was the application of mechanical artifices to the assistance of the mind, in the retention of facts and numbers. He proved to a large audience that he had himself acquired a vast power of bringing to his present recollection the images of past events, and recalling to his mind those representatives of numerical forces which the Arabians understood, and the Franks conventially misused. We have heard the lectures of Von Feinaigle, and we have often laughed at his combinations of wis dom, hypocrisy, and chicanery. None who heard him, could doubt that in some parts of his expositions he was sincere ; but, at the same time, it was evident that an ignorant man was propounding crude notions, which he himself had not mastered. A society was formed for the purpose of carrying out the views of Von Feinaigle, and it failed in every particular in which Mnemonics had a part. There is upon the books of Dublin College abundant proof that the school of the Luxembourg call produce scholars equal to any competition which the severe and trying examinations of .that University may subject them to. But we are aware of this, that it is not owing to Feinaigle's system of Mnemonics, but to the constant practice of Hamilton's maxim, " teach not in order to learn," the extraordi nary proficiency of the pupils is to be attributed. We have always regarded systems of Mnemonics as merely adapted to particular formations of mind in which the same results would be produced without the intervention of the same media. We have no doubt, indeed we are convinced from our own experience, that adventitious aids can be given to the memory, but we have very gri at doubt, mat any system may be devised by which an un instructed mind will be enabled to treasure up and record facts which are communicated with a peculiar association. If we could go into a detail of the many instances in which the pupils of the Luxembourg have surpassed their competitors in the Dublin University. their superiority may be more justly attributed to their own powers of applicability than to any psychological virtue in the system. One part of the system of Von Feinaigle was, that the facts should be remembered by an association with localities and form ; if you had to remember a song of Captain Morris, you must inscribe every verse upon the step of an altar, and if you desired to treasure up in your mind the whole of the " Fudge FaMily," you must impale every member upon a croessette or a pointelle of the imperial diadem. In the lecture with which we were last night favoured, we heard enough to convince us that Beniowski has simplified the system of Mnemonics, and if we perceive by future observation that he has reduced the art of mechanical memory to the dignity of a science, we shall not fail to do him perfect justice. EX PRESS FROM PARIS FRANCE. Our accounts from Paris, dated Tuesday, state that a rassemblentent took place at the Porte St. Martin on Monday night, which was charged and dispersed by the Municipal Guard without any difficulty. No assemblage occurred that evening at any other point. The troubles of which the census was the pretext ap pear to be completely at an end. At Milhau, in the de partment of Aveiron, however, some riots occurred on the 15th, in which the King's Attorney was dangerously wounded, and the operation of the . census had to be sus pended. The National and Gazette de France were seized on Monday. On the 19th and 20th inst. the Savings' Banks of Paris received 473,387 f., and reimbursed 598,000 f. The Chamber of Peers assembled on Tuesday, in order to constitute itself into a Court of Justice, to try the authors of the attempt against the lives of the Dukes of Orleans, Nemours, and Aumale. The price of corn advanced during the last week in almost all the markets from which Paris derives its supplies. Flour increased one franc per sack on Monday, and the sales amounted to 1,800 sacks. At Thrdeaux, Orleans, Pout I'Abbe, and St. Malo, the price of wheat had fallen. The receipts of the Octroi of Paris, in 1840, exceeded 31,000,000 f. MORE TORY PRAISE OF MR. WARLEY.—" Some there may be who, like Mr. Wakley, will surmount the despi cable trammels of partisanship, and dare to avow the honest truth, even though it should be complimentary to opponents. Indeed Mr. Wakley's manly and upright acknowledgments, respresenting as he does a large Übe. ral constituency, who may he less prepared to do that strict justice to Sir Robert Peel's Ministry which their Hon. Member's conscientious convictions extort from him, are deserving of all praise. Not that we imagine Mr. Wakley to have desert( d his principles, or to have become a Tory—no such thing—but that, freeing him self ffoin mean party prejudices, he has nobly borne his testimony to the fait-AK:1; and integrity of those to whom on many, points he is still conscientiously opposed. Anything of this sort from the Whigs an .I.ltvealers is of course hopeless ; but, sooner or later. Mr.Va.2; 7 's honesty will be extensively imitated notwithstanding."— Times. That. praise was bestowed yesterday for Mr. Wakley's exertions of previous nights. Last night the Hon. Member regularly avowed himself Sir R. Peel's champion. To day, of course, more praise will follow. Did the electors of Finsbury send Mr. Wakley to Par liament to, smooth the way for Sir R. Peel ? The Hon. Member seems to suppose, because the nation has lost all confidence in the Whigs, and has been obliged to give them up; that we have no alternative but submission to the Tories. The public hardly adopt that opinion, and are rather resolved, we apprehend, to submit to nei ther, but to make the Tories submit to them. Mr. Wakley wishes us to submit to the Tories. • Mr. Waklev held an inquest on Tuesday, on Mr. William Green, a bricklayer, who committed suicide by putting a ladder down a well, and sitting in the water till he was dead. Oo a Juror's observing upon the strangeness of the suicide, Air. Wakley remarked that there were many stranger modes of suicide. He had lately held an inquest on a lady who, standing up, placed her head in a bucket of water till she was drowned; and another on a lady who attempted to cut her throat, but not liking the first incision, she resolved to hang herself; that, however, not suiting her taste, she repaired to Bushy Park, and throwing herself on her face on a wet gravelly walk was suffocated. At another case a gentleman was playing at cards, when he rose from the table, apparently in perfect good humour,and without having shown the slightest symptoms of previous insanity, and, going int o th e ce ll ar , cu t hi s t h roat. . Suicides Pervaded all ranks of society, and were greatly oh the increase, but the causes for most of them were quite inexplicable. A passenger by the St. Germain railroad, the day before yesterday, was seated on the imperial outside one of the waggcns, when, as the train was' passing under a bridge between Asnieresand Nanterre, he stretched out his head, contrary to the express recommendations published by the Company, and, coming in contact with the vault, was in stantly knocked off. He fell on the rails, and the shock was so severe that he remained senseless from two till six in the evening. He was carried back to Paris, where he was bled, and there are hopes (..f saving his life. Passengers cannot be too cautious in not exposing their heads or aims outside the vehicles while in motion. Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, a respectab i T dressed elderly gentleman, about sixty years of age, called at the private-box entrance o Drury-lane Theatre, and Legg , . to be allowed to sit down for a few ininute.s, as he felt ihry 11 he had scarcely entered the door and taken a scat, before be fell 1 back and suddenly expired. MORNING - SIT... ti HORRIBLE MURDER IN EAST CU I',AP. On Tuesday night, about ten minutes past ten o'c l o ck, a most horrible murder was committed at the King's .

Bet% ie e and ten on Tuesday night, as Mrs. Burdon, and her unfOriita, , sister-in-law were in the bar, they . observed the door to` 1 1 1;4 0 repeatedly, and some one to look in, but they thought no",n;;;, of the matter, neither did they recognise the f eatures of tilt' ',a dividual so obtruding. There is no doubt he was watchioW3m, opportunity when the bar was clear of customers (which, so soon presented itself) to carry his horrid design into droll.. The wretched man's father is a respectable man, living in ~be City-road, and has offices in Basingliall street. Owing to profligate life which his son had lived he determined, /Va t months since, to discard him, since which time be becatne,e".., quainted with the sister of the deceased, who was formerly bilr maid to her brother, and has been married to the Murderer At three months.

A number of the city police, under the dire ctions of 3ft' Inspector Brake, have been dispersed in search of the Inu" dem ; and Briscoe, 567, whe is well acquainted with Blesen proceeded on board the Boulogne steam-beat, which start pea four yesterday morning for Boulogne, to go as far as end to ascertain (it being dark at the time) whether" lisog i was on board ; but up to the time of our going to Pre lk e had not returned. The police are still engaged in endeavouring to retreat of Blexley, but their efforts have hitherto prove. ` e , Tailing, and up to a late hour last evening' he-had not be . , taken into custody.

The emission of a portion of the French loan and the disturbances in France, ocinv e t a prominent place in the columns of the French Journals of Monday. The Debats regrets that tie loan was not sooner issued, and observes that corr.merce has suffered from the delay. The Constitutio,nn t l says that the Government in issuing the loan wc.s influenced by a fear of a decline of its credit in conseqUence of the emeutes. The COu'rrier Francais. is of opinion that the Government had recourse to the flick of delaying the emission, in order to lead the capitalists to suppose that it would not issue at all, in order to procure better terms. The Siede complains that with all the artifices of the Minister of Finance, the State will be a great loser; as before a single franc of the loan can be touched the Treasury will stand indebted to the lenders four months and six days' interest, which will amount to 15,000 francs. Thus after all no portion of the press is satisfied. We noticed in our summary of Monday the indignant contempt with which the French Journals hurl back upon the Tory press, the malicious attempt to find in the reputed Atheism of the French people the origin of the murderous attack upon the Royal Princes. The Constitutionnel has very successfully turned the tables on the hypocritical Times, the stupid Courier, and the flippant Glibe. The evangelical purity and poverty of English churchmen, the unbought pa triotism of the English aristocracy, and the high, ho nourable impulses which the cat-o'-nine-tails commu nicates to the back of the English soldier, supply materials for a picture, the survey of which ought to teach the Tory and Whig Pharisees more modesty in speaking of their neighbours. When the attempt to assassinate Lord Howick is known in France it will fur nish the French press with the means of retorting with tenfold effect the libels of the British Anti-Gallican press. The Courrier Francais is not less bitter than the Con stitutionnel. That our readers may be made acquainted with the mass of bad blood eng,bndered by these foolish attacks upon the religious character of our neighbours, and that they may likewise be made sensible of the absurd figure which even an Englishman may be made to cut in the hands of a French satirist, we extract the article from the Courrier :—" The English Journals look upon us as a nation of Atheists, because we do not, like so many English, divide on Sundays between the Church and the gin-shop. We will merely observe, that if we were to judge of the influence of religion on the hearts of men, we must not take the English as an example. There is certainly no nation which ob serves with greater rigour the external forms* of re ligion. The brow of the Englishman is grar: and sombre, like the portico of a church ; but if we look under the envelope we shall frequently find the heart rotten. How well did Byron know these Pharisees of Europe who of virtue practice only the appearance ; who have markets for votes as for sugar and coffee ; who call themselves honest men, whilst they corrupt poor electors, and who have even gone so far as to change the natural signification of terms as to say of a thief, if he be well-dressed, that he looks respectable." Here we have caricature for caricature. The English are not without true religion, neither are their hearts rotten. But in the misrepresentation we have the usual penalty of a claim to ultra-righteousness. To have our many good qualities estimated at their full value we must not pretend to be better than others. The French frontier contraband trade with Spain is so considerable, that in one month 2,744 bales and pack ages of French goods found their way into Spain by Irun alone l This was in the month of August last. And ye;, the French journals rail against British smugglers. There are said to be. discovered in the province of Tarragona, in Spain, 1 gold mine, 4 silver mines, 5 of iron, 72 of lead, 17 of coal, 7 of sulphur, 1 of mercury, and 1 of magnesia. Minin4 is all the rage now in Spain, but we trust IJfe infection will not seize upon Bri •tish capitalists. The most productive mines in Spain are on the surface of the country, if the agricultural po pulation were only industrious enough to work them. Last week witnessed the opening of the two first im portant lines of railroads in Prussia, that between Co• logne and Aix la Chapelle, 'and that between Berlin and Cothen, where it unites with the line from Magdeburg and Dresden. The latter line was executed within a, remarkably short period, the works having only been seriously begun in November, 1839. The length of this line is 25 German miles, or about 120 English, and the distance was perfbrmed in seven hours and a half. The Corresponsul relates that while the young Queen and the Infanta Dona Luisa were riding in their carriage on the 11th, they met a priest bringing back the Host from a visit to a sick person. Her Majesty and the Princess immediately alighted and followed the Host on foot to the church of San Giniez, to which the priest belonged. large crowd acconlpanied the Queen and her sister. Belgium and Hamburg have concluded a Commercial Treaty, which guarantees to the citizens of each recipro cal equal rights in their respective territories. The text of this Treaty will be found in another part of The Sun. Letters from Constantinople of the 2d inst., state that by advices from Erzroum it was known that the Persian Court had received intelligence of the submission of Me hemet Ali. This news had an extraordinary effect upon the Schah and his Ministers. who all at once exhi bited a great affection fbr the English. Preparations were ordered to be made to receive Sir John M'Neile, our Ambassador, with every mark of distinction. Fear works wonders. PAIZZLIUCEITTAILY. Amongst the petitions last night presented in the House of Commons, was one from Sir Charles Forbes, for inquiry into the case of the Raja of Sattara. The Concentration of Royal Gardens and the Frog more Lodge pills were read a second time, after a brief opposition to the former by Mr. Protheroe. The Poor-law Commission Bill, and the Expiring Laws Bill were also read a second time. During the short debate on the former Mr. Wakley again stepped forth' in his new character of Sir R. Peel's champion, who seems, however, not much to like his over zealous Squire. The Bills are to be committed on Friday, which seems as if Sir Robert Peel was intent on bringing the Session to a close. It can scarcely last ten days at the present rate of proceeding. The House adjourned till Friday. PIM:LAC 0 :41LodICON. The Times asserts that there is not the slightest bond of union among the Opposition ; that they are split into small sections ; are full of distrust and apprehension ; and unabl e t o ac t with vigour or consistency. Our Con temporary adds :—" What - they are to du, poor devils, beats us to say. They cannot get.the Premier to be cor rupt for the li re of them. With all their indomitable courage fur Opposition objects, the abominable contre temps of finding the Conservatives unassailably honest, deprives them of any butt to 'shoot at, or any ammunition to load with. That they should handsomely confess their own powerlessness, or do justice to the merits of the present Government, could scarcely be expected from them in their collective capacity, rotten at heart as they are, and diseased in all their corporate functions. Individual px ceptions may possibly occur. Some there may be who, like Mr. Wakley, will surmount the despicable trammels of partisanship; and dare to avow the honest truth. even though it should be complimentary to opponents."— To talk of the " unassailable honesty" of the Tories is an act of effrontery every way characteri s ti c o f th e Times.. With quite as much propriety might o u r egotis tical, weathercock Contemporary compliment himself on his own " unassailable honesty."

The accounts from the Newcastle corn-districts are unexceptionally gratifying, and the produce everywhere promises to be a good average one. Yorkshire has had some splendid days, and the stack yards are filling fast. At Kilmarnock the progress made in cutting down and houSing is famous, and four days more will find the fields cleared. At Derry the oat-crop has ripened well. Though the sickles are busy at Tuam, heavy rains have in some places prostrated the corn, as if by a rolling-stone. .e.wn PIEXLVTAItY. The ship Betty, laden with corn, which was, some time since. run down by another vessel near Gravesend, and long formed a serious obstruction to the river navigation, has been raised by Mr. John Fraser, who also raised the Kelso. It now lies at Colehouse Point. A most atrocious murder and piracy has lately been committed by the inhabitants of the Nicobar Islands. at Hoho Bay, on the persons of the Captain and crew of the Pilot, which had anchored there, and traded -with the natives. Of the crew :there were 21 missing, and there is no doubt of their having been massacred. Two were known to be killed, and ten were saved by pushing off in a canoe, with only 27 cocoa nuts among ten men. A complete plunder was made of the ship by the natives. LAW AND POLICE, • The recent case of adulteration of flour at Newcastle... reported in The Sun of beptember 8, has been investi gated in that town. Mr. Bull has been fined in the full penalty of 201. and costs, the case being fully made out, and the eighteen sacks of the adulterated material were ordered to be buried. Another instance of falSe swearing by a policeman occurred at Queen-square police-office on Tuesday. A gentleman of the name of Winterbottom, on leaving his father's house in Sloane-street the previous evening, was taken into custody by police constable 132 B, for ringing bells, and forced to the station-house, where he had to find bail. When before the Magistrate; the constable positively swore that he saw the defendant go up the -steps of two houses, ring the bells, and then run .away and join his companions. Evidence was given which convinced the Magistrate that the policeman had not stated the truth, and the case was dismissed. Mr. Bur rell could hold out no hopes of redress to the injured party from the Commissioners, as the policeman had only " erred in the identity.", And is it come to this under the new system, that a man can have no redress for such an outrageous insult ? This may be Magis trates' law, but it is not the, law of the country. Juries often give heavy damages against a Sheriff's officer for illegal arrest, and why, therefore, should a police officer escape ? Al Union-hall on Tuesday, a woman of the name of Silcox, was committ e d to take her trial for throwing a quantity of vitriol over the person of Charles Cooper, with whom she had cohabited for some time past. It appeared they had latterly lived on very bad terms, and within a few days they had :.eparated. At Hatton-garden another young woman was brought before the Magistrate on a charge of attempting to drown herself in thuistew River. The poor girl on being pressed by Mr. Greenwood to reveal her situation, said her name was Elizabeth May, her friends resided at Dray ton, Caml:ridgeOire, but she had disgraced and left them. Iler seducer who had brought her up to town on a promise e mo.rrizre had :deserted her. She had been turned out of her lagings, and she was anxious to put an end to her sufferings. The ;Magistrate directed that she should be taken to the parish-officers of Islington till her friends should learn her unfortunate condition. At the Mansion House two of the pickpockets who in fest the Bank and the banking-houses in the neighbour hood to plunder the unwary, were committed to prison fur .a month. An inquest was held on Tueslay, at Deptford, on the body of the old man named ila.zzard, when the Jury returned:a verdict of "- Wilful murder" against Richard Eustace and Mary Ann Hazzard, widow of the deceased. . • • Mr. Octavius Duncombe, brother to the Hon. W. Duncombe, now called to the House of Peers under the title of Baron Faversham, by the death of his father, was elected on Tuesday for North Yorkshire, without oppo sition. • SPORTING.
