HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO.MORROW kirrntn , 23 minutes after 11 1 Evening 57 minutes after 11. AA t 3 16 47 e., f Utit 4/4 LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1341. The Corn Averages, published yesterday, show a rise in the weekly average 70s. 5d., which is above the average published yesterday week, of 2s. 2d., while the average of the six weeks, 665. 4d., is ls. 2d. higher than the average of the preceding six weeks. The prices continue to rise, therefore, throughout the country, and there appears no probability of their soon coming to a still stand, or falling. The additional 2d. that has been recently put upon the loaf may be nothing to the man " whose every - single morsel, which lie pokes with his golden fork between his teeth, costs more than a hard working man's pay per day," but it will be most severely felt by the overworked hind in Dorsetshire, with Gs. 6d. a week and a sleeping-berth in the hay-loft, by " the poor sempstress, whose thousand stitches can earn her at the utmost one penny in the hour," and by the " poor widow laundress, who, up at three in the morning, labours through weeks, months, and years, and takes in wash ing at a penny a piece to preserve herself and her poor orphans a shadow of honest inde pendence." All these, and they are chosen as re presentatives of the millions, will shower th e i r curses, if deep suffering and toil have not effaced from them all the imprint of humanity, on the cruel system which withholds from them the boanties of nature; and their curses, like the prayers of good men, will surely be heard at the throne of grace, and will wither the system which blights and blasts their happiness and their being. Many things combine to assure us that the accursed system must speedily come to an end. Our opponents are giving way ; but they talk of a compromise. The great London merchants, who have stood aloof during our three years' contest, a little alarmed at the decay of trade, are beginning, by their various organs, to advocate a fixed duty. They see in prospective that their own pockets will be assailed, and that touches them more than the seared hearts, wasted limbs, and miserable deaths of the suffering hand loom weavers. Some of the clergy, too, more alarmed, we believe, at the pecuniary disasters which they apprehend than at the moral de solation which is spreading over the land, have taken up their pens in favour of an alteration of the Corn-laws—speaking, how ever, in favour of a fixed duty, and carefully shunning the noble principle of a perfectly free trade in food. An alteration, then, we must have in the Corn-laws, and it will depend on the Manchester men whether that shall be a fixed duty or a total repeal. Their maxim is, that a fixed duty is a fixed injustice. _That is our motto; we would not leave even Mr. M'GRE GOR's one shilling a quarter as a rag of the sla very from which, with perseverance and courage, we are sure to be emancipated. We trust, there fore, that the League will not accept the compromise, and will remain firm to their principles, despite the coaxing of lately converted fr . ends and half inclined enemies. They must be true to their principles for the sake of rais ing up the morality of the people, not for the sake of lowering the price of wheat one or two We trust, too, that the ministers who are to meet in Conference at Manchester on Tuesday, Henry Parker and William Johnson, severally aged twenty-nine and twenty-t w o, pl ea d e d guilty to an indict ment char g ing them with unlawfully and mali c i o u s ly killing, at Rumboldswyke, a lamb, the property of Thomas White, and were transported for ten years and on sentence being passed, they made low bows to the Court, and seemed well pleased with their fate.—[This was the case referred to by the Learned Judge, in his charge to the Grand Jury ; an d it was understood about' the Court that the prisoners had presented a petition to the Court praying to be transported for life.] We should like to know more of the history of these two young men, and what motives led, them to prefer transportation for life to a resi dence in that elysium of the ELLmArrs, the Ibex- MONDS, and the IDARBYS, the purely agricultural county of Sussex. We hope that the Brighton Guardian, or some other local paper, will find out all the circumstances connected with these young men, and make them known, for the in struction of the world; or that some of our cor respondents in that part of Sussex will ex plain the matter to the public. As it appears at present it is calculated to excite suspicion and much alarm. Transportation is one of the pet punishments of the "day—for legislators have pets as well as ladies ; it is that punishment most relied on by squires and farmers for the protec tion of their stock, their sheep, and lambs, and horses—their hedges and hop-poles, their woods and hen-houses; and if this punishment be des pised, but above all if it become a temptation to commit depredations and slaughter animals—if the inhabitants of the rural districts go on kill- ing sheep in order to be transported from their father land, which has no longer any charms for them, whatever it may have for the squires and the parsons ; if transportation, on which the Magistrates almost exclusively rely, have lost all its terrors, they must begin to doubt whether they will much longer find safety for their per sons and property in England. Hanging men, except for murder, has gone into disuse ; solitary imprisonment, and the silent system, notwith standing the New Model Prison, which is fast encumbering and disfiguring the fields about Battle-bridge, are both decried as more inju rious than beneficial, awl now we have common imprisonment courted as a refuge from utter des titution, and transportation invoked, through the commission of a heinous offence, because men are, from some cause or other, completely dis- gusted with their native country. This straw may show rent-owning legislators which way the gale of moral desolation is blowing Over the hearts and minds of the people. The coolness, may we not call it the callous ness, with which the venerable Chief Justice, with this example of punishment tempting men to commit crime, went on ordering prisoner after prisoner to be transported, even gratifying the lamb-killers, except that he made the punish- meat fall short of their desire never to return home, is to us quite as astonishing and as shock- ing as the conduct of the men. This is not, in deed, an isolated case of that callous disposition in the Judges, which to us appears most offen- sive. We know they perform what is called a duty ; we know, too, 'that they sometimes weep themselves, and sometimes draw tears from others in doing it ; and yet they go on, assize after assize, circuit after circuit, condemning scores and hundreds of their fellow-creatures to one cruel punishment after another, without ever starting back with affright and horror at seeing, as almost every reflecting man but themselves sees, that the vast system of pain they are the instru ments of inflicting has lost all terror fbr evil doers, and while it is a grievous of fence to humanity, has long ceased to repress, if • it does not greatly encourage, crime. A pamphlet was lately published entitled " The Crimes of the Law;" and if this • plan of inflicting great pain, which answers not the desired end, be not included in those crimes, it ought to be; and when we look at its extent and its perpetual repetition, we may almost doubt whether all the other crimes committed by the community equal the crimes of the law. The venerable Judges, however, administer the sys tem with great apparent self-satisfaction, making us fancy that there may be things more extra ordinary t h an skinning eels alive, or pegging lobsters, to which custom reconciles the perpe trators. We have more than once explained that the Deficit Mi n i stry, as the Tories call the Whigs, are no more to blame for the deficiency of the revenue than Tory journals co nt i nue to blame the Ministry Sir R. P EEL . N evert h e l ess t h e because the revenue does not equal the expendi ture. Let us again, therefore, remind our readers of the facts. When the postage was reduced, in accordance with the wishes of the bulk of the population, i t was distinctly stated by the Ministers th a t ofM Com mons . th e y would call on the House make good any deficiency that might occur to in the revenue. Acco rdin g l y , in the f o ll owin. year, 1840, they proposed an increased per centage on taxation, wh i ch theY calculat e d would make good the de ficienc y. The Tori es neither said it would not, nor p r oposed any othe r plan. They acquiesced in the Ministers' scheme. Sir R. PEEL did more than acquiesce; he ex pressly gave his approval to the plan, and in 1840 it was fully expected by all parties that the increased per centage on taxation would bring up the revenue to the expenditure. And so it would, had the country continued to be prosperous. But, instead of the new taxes yielding upwards of 2,000,0001., they yielded, in fact, little or nothing. They only checked con sumption, and the increased revenue-they caused in one branch was compensated by the falling off in another. The result could not be known till 1841, and when it was known, the Ministers pro posed a plan which they supposed would apply a remedy. The Tories, headed by Sir R. PEEL, resisted and defeated that plan, and consequently the Tories are as much or even more responsible for the deficiency than the. Ministers. They ap proved of the plan of 1840, and when that failed they objected to another, without suggesting any better scheme in its stead. They have now taken will stick to the moral principle of this now great and absorbing question, and not heed the jeers or flippant observations of that class of public writers and politicians who will see nothing in politics more important than a means to enrich the aristocracy, or more sacred than the success of their party. We adverted yesterday to four cases of per sons committing offences that they might find shelter and food in a. prison. It is unnecessary, perhaps, to inform those who rely much more: on police and law than on morals—they themselves setting the example of doing justice to others— that their hopes of checking crime must be at once extinguished, when the very punishments which they have devised to repress it actually become, from the. miserable condition of the people,-temptations to commit crime. If they imagine that these are the only cases, or that the temptation can only arise in large towns, and when the punishment is trivial, we must, by quoting another case, undeceive them. When Lord Chief Justice TINDAL addressed the Grand Jury at Lewes, on the 3d instant, he made the following observations : His Lordship observed that there was also a charge against two individuals of having maliciously killed a sheep, with intent to injure the owner, and the circtit stances of the case were of a somewhat novel kind, for it appearod that the moment the act was committed the prisoners gave information to a policeman, and said that their object in committing the act was, that they might get transported. It would be difficult in such a case to suppose that they were actuated by any malic? towards the owner of the sheep, but it was his duty to tell the Grand Jury that the law did not require any evidence of the . malicious intention, but the mere act was sufficient to constitute the offence. Two men killing a sheep or lamb, without any malice towards the owner, and not to carry away the meat, but informing a policeman of what they had done, in order to get transported, is something like a novelty in the history of crimi nal jurisprudence. It teaches a most important truth. The terror of transportation is, and will be, of no avail in preventing crimes. The con clusion of this case is thus stated in the Brighton Guardian : THE SUN, LONDON. FRIDAY, .AUGUST 13. 1841. We anticipated in our afternoon Edition yesterday, all the really important news in th e Paris Journals of Wednesday. The speech o Commodore Sir CHARLES NAPIER at the dinner given to Admiral Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, is the subject of a most bitter article in the ,Courrier Francais of Wednesday. Some topics were touched upon in the Commodore's speech which might have better been avoided; but the Gal lant and Honourable Gentleman stood in so pe culiar a position that he could not well omit them. After the correspondence that had taken place between himself and the Admiral relative to some expressions delivered, inadvertently perhaps, in the course of his addresses at Li verpool and Manchester, he may have consi dered it a duty which he owed to his own high character, to repeat in Admiral STOP FORD'S presence, every statement which he had made elsewhere. And be it remembered that if Commodore NAPIER spoke more of his own brilliant exploits than the fastidious public care to hear from the mouths of heroes, when speaking of themselves, he spoke under strong and unmerited provocation. In the negotiations with MEHEMET Am he was treated by the Admiral in a way which it was impossible for him not to resent, and this involved the neces sity of appealing to the principal share which he undoubtedly had in the conquest of Syria. We alluded yesterday to an able article in the Journal des Debats on the new Treaty of Lon don. The following extract from it will give our readers an idea of the way in which this Treaty is regarded by Frenchmen of moderate opinions: It is important, in order that the spirit of this pro tocol may be fully understood, td know in what way France was called upon by the rest of Europe to become again a party to the European compact. Was it merely as connected with a temporary question like that of the treaty of July 15 ? No, it was a general and permanent ques tion, a question which involves the integrity and indepen dence of the Ottoman Empire, that is to say, the very basis of the difficulties which had been created in Europe by that treaty. Europe imagines that the closing of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to the ships of war of all nations is the surest guarantee for the maintenance of the Ottoman empire. We may be of a different opinion ; we might say, that this guarantee, having for its defence only the weakness of the Ottoman Porte, is illusory ; that a neutrality, which is not protected by some effective force, is at the mercy of the first Power which may at tempt to violate it ; that the means of preventing any Power whatever from taking possession of Constantinople in the event of war, should rather be, perhaps, to open the Bosph o r us an d th e Dardanelles to the vessels of war of all nations, because in this way what is now defended by no Power, and may be attacked by any Power, would in that case he defended by all; finally, we might differ as to the means invented for the mainte nance of the Ottoman Empire. But whatever these means may be, it is evident that the protocol of July 13 makes the independence of the Empire one of the principles of the general law of Europe. For the future, Turkey becomes part of Europe, and no European Power can aggrandise itself at the expense of the Ottoman Porte, without creating a legitimate ground of complaint from all the other Powers. In inviting France to re-enter into the European compact of this general and permanent question, which is so intimately connected with the maintenance of the equilibrium of Europe, the protocol of the 13th of July declares explicitly its sense of the manner in which the affairs of the East and West are in future to be regulated. It excludes all exclusive preponderance, and in this sense we think the protocol must be displeasing to England, or rather, we should say, and we hasten to make the distinction, to those persons in England who adopted the adventurous policy of Lord Palmerston. We cannot believe that a policy whose prin ciple is the division of the domination in the East w Russia can be an English policy. The protocol is a new blow at the policy of M. Thiers. The opposition jour nals cannot approve of this protocol, but neither can they attack it, for in giving new guarantees for the mainte nance of peace, it gives general satisfaction to the coun try, and to attack it would be to offend the feelings and assail the interests of the nation. The opposition jour nals may remain silent if they please, but their -silence. will not deceive the country as to the importance of this protocol. --- The Berne papers mention that the majority of States in the Swiss Diet have pronounced against the proposition of Argau for only re-establishing the con vent of nuns in that canton. Twelve States have de manded that a special commission should be appointed. A curious incident occurred in the Court at Tulle, during the trial of Madame Laffarge. About the time of Madame de Leotaud entering the hall, every one was on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of her, and a general outcry was raised by those in the back-ground against a gentle man in front, who was, as they supposed, standing on his chair. .All their remonstrances to make him " stand down" were ineffectual, and at length the gendarmes were called in to enforce their wishes, when it was dis covered that the party was not standing on the chair, but was standing 6 feet 5 inches in his shoes. A Royal Ordonnance has just fixed the future number of pupils of the Ecoles Itoyales des Arts et Metiers of Chalons and Angers at 300 for each school. The bursarships and other encouragements at the charge of the State are to be divided in equal proportions be tween the two schools. The salaries and other personal appointments of the Courts and Tribunals of France amount annually to 14,676,875 francs, viz. :—The Cour de Cassation, 968,896 f. ; 27 Cours Royale, 4;24900f. ; 59 Cours d'Assize, 152,800 f.; 364 Tribunals de Premiere Instance, 5,996,287 f. ; 220 Tribunals of Commerce, 179,896 f. ; 104 Tribunals of Police, 62,398 f. ; 2,816 Justices of the Peace, 3,093,898 f. " The Minister of Public Instruction," says the Courrier Francais, " paid a visit a few days since to M. A. Duval, the dramatic author, who has been confined to his bed for some time by illness. On returning to his official residence, the Minister increased the pension already allowed to M. Duval, by 1,000 f." The Municipal Council of Marseilles has resolved on recommending the formation of a railroad between Marseilles and Lyons, or at least from Marseilles to the Rhone. The remains of the poor children, recently mur dered near Orleans, have been taken back to that town, and there buried. The ceremony was attended with a remarkable occurrence. A dog, belonging to the family of one of the girls, obstinately persisted in continuing, during the funeral procession, under the coffin, as if it were impossible for him to quit the remains of his young mistress as long as they were above ground, adding greatly to the painful feelings of all in attendance. —A mason living at the Point du Jour, beyond Au teuil, had long been in the habit of getting drunk, and then beating his wife. Two days ago her cries became so piercing, that the neighbours forced their way into the house, to save her from his brutality. They were only just in time, for they found the mason in the act of forcing the unhappy woman out of the window. She had caught by the frame with one of her hands, which the savage was actually tearing with his teeth, in order to make her let go her hold. Some gendarmes attracted by thatv e d the theyh disturbance, r came up, and, a id e d b y t h e peop l e, was only aft er a d angerous confl i ct secure the h us b and, and conduct him to sa;coi3uul dt t the Prefecture of Police. The act of devoted courage of Mile. Amelie de Roquefeuil d'Ambert, in a fire at a ladies' school at Montpelier, where she was teacher, having been made known to the King by the Minister of the Interior, his on themselves the responsibility of remedying the evil which their acquieSeence in the first instance prolonged, and which, in the second instance they refused to remedy. The truth is, that neither party thought that the progress of the country in prosperity was to be so much retarded. The Tories, in particular, scouted any idea of decaY, and all their argu ments during the Corn-law debates went to ridi cule the fears or impugn the data of those who warned them that our manufactures and com merce had - received a severe check. Both par ties insisted till 1841, and Sir R. PEEL still in sists, that the progress of the country continued as rapid as ever, or if it were checkel the check was merely temporary, and both par ties, therefore, particularly Sir ROBERT PEEL, were quite unprepared for that serious de falcation of the revenue which the returns of the present year have exhibited. If the Ministers are to be blamed for not anticipating it in 1840, the Tories are equally to blame, and much more to blame than the Ministers, for the con tinuance of the deficiency, since they would not allow the measures to be discussed, or even ex plained, by which the Ministers proposed to make up the deficiency. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S first and greatest diffi culty, it is said, on taking office, will be the state of the - finances, and for that he is especially re sponsible. He has not been out of Parliament during the last six years; he has not been taken from the plough or the spinning-jenny to guide the State; he has been a constant attendant in the House of Commons, and mingled in the de bates. Unless it can be proved therefore— which it cannot—that he has recommended and promoted measures calculated to remedy the de ficiency of the revenue, he must bear his share of the blame of those erroneous calculations, ignorant hopes, and stupid reliance on the inex haustible fecundity of the tax-payers, which were common to both parties. All our states men have been deceived, but Sir ROBERT PEEL was more in error than his opponents, and we do not expect that his accession to power will a once inspire him with knowledge, and acquain him with truth. Majesty has conferred upon her a silver medal, with a remuneration of 300 f. ; and has ordered that the proof of resolution shown by her should be recorded among the honourable actions annually laid by the Minister be fore the Kilo% M. de . Saint Albin, a magistrate and landowner at Montrouge, part of whose property lies on the line of fortifiCations, had applied to the local magistrates for redress against the contractors for the works of the line in that district, on account of their having trespassed on and injured his property without the proper legal summonses having been made. He was assured that re dress should be given him, but, the trespass having been renewed; he applied direct to the Tribunal of First In stance, the President of which, M. Debelleyme, has issued a decree forbidding the parties in question from entering on the ground of M. de Saint Albin, until all the legal formalities shall have been duly complied with. A difference having arisen, the day before yester day, between about 150 of the labourers employed on the works of the fort at Noisy -le-Sec and the middleman, who had engaged them, he referred them to the contrac tor. The labourers claimed of him 3£ a day, instead of 2E 50c., which he offered, and with which all the other labourers were contented. The disputes which this oc casioned rose to violent altercations and acts which Made the interference of the armed force necessary. A con flict would have ensued had not the Mayor of Roinain ville interposed, and by his remonstrances with the men, in which he persevered for six hours, prevented an ex plosion. .A SLAP IN THE FACE. —The Stockholm papers men tion that a saucy femme-de-chambr e being lately brought up before one of the Magistrates of the town of Hues berg in Sweden, so far forgot herself as to give him a slap in the face while in the execution •of his office. Accord ing to the severe penal laws of that country she was condemned to death ; and such was the violence of her character, that it required a long time, and all the in stances of her friends, to induce her to sign a petition to the King for pardon. She was at last prevailed on to do so, and her sentence was commuted into imprismi ment for twelve days, and twelve months' labour in a house of correction. —/The following details of the election of the dele gates of Guadaloupe are given by the Moniteur Parisien :-- " The great majority of the Colonial Council, as appears from the elections, belongs to the party which resists the views of the Government as to slave -emancipation. The number of Councillors who voted was 24. M. - d e Cha zelles, planter, of Guadaloupe, had 15 votes. M. Des mirail, formerly Procureur-General, and now planter at Guadaloupe, 13; M. Granier de Cassagnac, 11, ; M. Vil lemain, planter, at Martinique, 9. The minority felt itself to be so weak, that it did not venture to vote for Messrs: Jabrun and Janvier, the delegates who had given in their resignations in conseque nce o f diffe rences w i th the Colonial Council." M. Thiers passed through Cologne on the 6th inst., on his way to Berlin. The Bishop of Algiers has arrived at Toulon, having come over to France for the benefit of his health. The Imperial, of Besancon, has the following article :—" While the Journals are alleging all sorts of subtleties and scepticisms to confuse the question relative to the re-assessment, the execution of this measure, which is for the interest of the public, proceeds quietly in our departments. It has been completed in 400 rural communes, and in the Banlieu of Besancon, the officers employed in the operation for these ten days, have every reason to be satisfied with the reception given them by the citizens of all classes, and of all opinions, whose houses they have visited.—Le Moniteur. We have received news from New York, dated July 19th. A letter from Lackford, the town where Mr. M‘Leod is confined, had just arrived at New York, bringing word that a party of Canadians, consisting of 400 men had forced the doors of Mr. APLeod's prison, and set him at liberty. The truth of this report was, however, doubted.— Gazette de France. We have received this morning the Toulouse Jour nals of the Bth. The France Meridionale, a Ministerial journal, after having announced the apprehension of Messrs. Arzac, Roaldes, and Gase, before the examining Judge, says this affair will not be followed up. The Castillaine of Madrid of the 4th says—" A report had been circulated at the Puerto del Sol, that the troops were under arms; the cause is said to be the notice given to the body-guards of the decree of disso lution or reform."—Le Commerce.

The Gazette de France states that the medical men who were called in to attend the Duke de Bordeaux had guaranteed his perfect cure. The Moniteur Parisien, on the other hand, says, that the first assistance given to the Prince was not skilfully directed ; that the most simple precautions had been neglected, and that several hours had elapsed before the aid of a professional man could be obtained. " The state of the Prince," adds that journal, "offered no danger, but it was thought he would remain lame for the rest of his life, and perhaps would never be able to walk without crutches." The France states, that a considerable number of Roy alists had set off from Kirchberg to present their condo lences to the Duke of Bordeaux. The intended visit of the King of the Belgians to France was understood to have been postponed. The Presse contradicts the report of the King and Royal family, attended by Marshal Soult, intending to be present at the fetes of Boulogne. The France announces the appointment of the Mar quis of Dalmatia to the Prussian Embassy. The Courrier Francais states that much illness pre vailed among the crews of the division of Captain Leroy at Tunis. According to the same journal the squadron of Admiral Hugon was to remain a week at Algiers and then return t o T ou l on , w h ere i t i s expected about the 20th instant. The division under Rear -Admiral Las susse is to stop at Smyrna, in order to be at hand to re ceive despatches from France, Constantinople, and Alex andria. PARIS, AUG. 12.—Three per Cents., 77f. 55c. ; Spa] ish, 20i. SPAIN. - - - The publication of the decree for the re-organization of the Royal Guard, on the sth, at Madrid, excited some agitation among the troops, but the city continued tranquil. The Five per Cents. were done at 23 for cash, and at 24 for 60 days. GERMANY. Germanic Diet held a last sitting for this Session .sth instant, at which Baron de Bulow was for received as the Prussian Envoy. Thi on the molly SYRIA. A letter from Beyrout, of the Bth ult., mentions that the negotiations with the Princes of Lebanon had taken an unfavourable turn "for the Sultan. The Syrians, after consenting to pay 3,500 purses, ap peared disinclined to make even this slight sacrifice, and under various' pretexts had pushed their outposts to within a short distance of Jerusalem, of which they were desirous to gain possession. The country of El Arisch, near the city, was devastated by the Arabs of the Desert. The leading wish of the Christian popula tion of Syria was to be formed into an independent State, under the nominal sovereignty of the Porte. CANDIA. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Candia of the 16th ult., from which it would appear that Tahir Pacha and Mustapha Pacha had hitherto failed in their attempts to penetrate into the mountains of Sphakia. On the 10th the insurgents, under Vassili, were repulsed with some loss in an attack, which they made upon a magazine of the enemy near Provaxma. TURKISH FRONTIER. The Augsburg Gazette brings accounts from Nissa, on the Servian frontier, stating that the Turkish troops had committed new excesses in that district.

SUM-'ARY OF 'ETS AND uiric Optition. " Who runs may read." II I OIZEIGN. Cabrera has addressed letters to the Presidents of the French Chambers and to Marshal Soult, requiring an increase of the allowance granted to the Carlist . re fugees. France has certainly an abundance of demands upon her purse. Between building ships and building walls, and carrying on an interminable war in Africa, and feeding refugees, and supporting emissaries in Syria, she has plenty to do with her money. Thorwaldsen, the celebrated sculptor, recently visited Lucerne, to view his own work, the Dying Lion, raised in honour of the Swiss, who sacrificed their lives to their duty on the memorable 10th August, 1792. A grand fete was given to the eminent artist on the spot where this monument stands. A. scientific Congress of Francels to take place at Lyons on the Ist of September. The proceedings will open with a grand mass, and close with a concert on the Saone. During the period of the Congress remaining united, an excursion in a steamer will be made down the Rhone to Vienne, to inspect the antiquities of that place. A bronze medal is to be struck in commemora tion of the event, and is to be given to each member present. PITELIC OPINION. The Chronicle remarks, in an article suggested by the approaching Corn-law conference of Clergymen at Manchester:---" Clergymen, Established and Dissenting, are praying for sunshine to dispel the fears excited by this ungenial harvest time. Let them pray; but let them also beware lest their hearts smite them for inconsis tency, if not hypocrisy, should they hold back from this good work at Manchester. The bread-tax is a blight on the world's harvests. It is the blast and shower that level with the ground the poor labourer's hopes. Monopoly diminishes crops and prevents harvests. Nature allows the cultivators of a distant soil to grow corn for the ope rative here; their interest prompts them to do it; but monopoly forbids. It creates an artificial barrenness there; and a corresposiding artificial scarcity here. To pray against rain and not act against monopoly-, is to serve heaven in word and insult heaven in deed. On the ministers of religion it devolves to vindicate her name from this profanity." The Advertiser says :—" The only ascertained fact in connection with the policy of the embryo Government of Sir Robert Peel, is that that policy is to be based on expediency. It is to be a Government reared and main tained on the ruin of all fixed principle. The sliding scale, so strenuously advocated by the expectant Premier, in the article of corn, is to be applied to every depart ment of his policy. He is to vary his measures with the ever-varying aspect of the political horizon, and the ever changing phases of party spirit and party practices." Truly Sir Robert Peel is a most promising Premier for the country. We require a fixed principle of action on the part of Government, and he puts us off with expe diency ! We demand energy, and he substitutes for it vacillation—certainty, and he bids us rest satisfied with suspense A Government carried on after this timid, tortuous fashion cannot possibly last six months. The following remarks are from the Plymouth Jour nal:—" The great national question is Commercial Re form, and on this Parliament must decide, and it will have an early opportunity of doing so. Ministers have nailed their colours to the mast of commercial freedom they will ask again the opinion of the House on this important question, and if that opinion should be in favour of restriction and injury, they will resign. No question equals in magnitude and in pressing importance at the present moment the alteration of the Corn-laws; and we believe it impossible for any party or power in Government, however united and strong, to resist its amelioration. National necessity is a master power." The Bath Chronicle, speaking on the state of the crops, says:—" The harvest accounts from the different districts of the kingdom are very conflicting. After a careful examination of the numerous reports which have come under our notice, we believe the truth to be that, though some small injury has here and there been suffered by the crops, we may yet look for an abundant harvest, if we should shortly be blessed with fine weather. In our . own neighbourhood, nothing else is required to ensure a good yield. A fortnight of sunshine would bring the wheat in our district to the sickle in excellent condition. If, how ever, the present unsatisfactory state of the atmosphere should prevail much longer, the gloomy apprehensions which, as we think, have been prematurely suffered to prevail, will, in a greater or less degree, be undoubtedly realised." The Nottingham Review remarks, in the subjoined terms, on the present distressed state of trade :—" With a declining, decaying, perishing commerce, and an arti ficial, high-priced scarcity of bread, all produced by the Corn-laws, the position of any Ministry coming into power to support that which is the curse of the country, must be perilous in the extreme. The condition of Paisley, Glasgow, Manchester, and other large manu facturing towns, is lamentably afflicting. Failures, stoppages of mills, and other large establishments, are becoming every day occurrences ; and we are grieved to add, that Nottingham has its full share of distress." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. At a meeting held by the Eastern Counties Rail way, reported in another part of The Sun, the Chairman stated that the line would be opened all the way to Colchester, fifty-two miles from London, in the Septem ber of the ensuing year. The completion will be at an average exuense of 34,0001. per mile, and the entire cost of the line 2,300,0001. The Tory journals have lost much of that feeling of exultation which but a few weeks since set them almost beside themselves. As the hour of trial ap proaches, they are beset with nervous apprehensions for the issue, and talk of the embarrassments of Sir Robert Peel, just as if they thought they were too great for a statesman of his calibre successfully to grapple with. Of such a desponding character is the following passage which we quote from the Post:—" The Whigs, rejoice in what ought to be their shame, because of the antici pated embarrassment to the Conservative Administration. No doubt if Sir Robert Peel be made Minister, his posi tion will be anything but a bed of roses ; the Whig- Radical mismanagement has made that certain enough. The follies and the crimes of Whig-Radical administration of affairs for some years past has produced such a crop of embarrassments as must make the business of successfully governing the country a task of the utmost difficulty, unless a current of good fortune should set in, upon which it would be quite unreasonable to calculate." It is not the "follies and crimes" of the Whigs which have occasioned the present deplorable state of things, but the " follies and crimes " of the Tories, who opposed almost every valuable measure that the former brought forward. Who aggravated the discontent of Ireland, by turning out Lord Morpeth's Registration Bill ? The Tories. Who crushed the able plan of national edu cation proposed by the Whigs? The Tories. Who sup ported monopoly, and refused any alteration in the Corn laws? Still the Tories. These are the men who, hav ing " sowed the wind," are now about to " reap the whirlwind," and have none to blame but themselves. The Times contains an article on the subject of the Dissenters, which betrays the odium theologicum in every sentence. From its acrimony and uncharitableness it might have been written by Exeter himself. Indeed it is tainted throughout with a strong odour of episcopacy, as will be seen by this passage : " The elections, therefore, have clearly demonstrated the numerical weakness of your noisy political Dissenters. For some years past they have strutted and swaggered, as if they constituted the great bulk of British so ciety. Repeatedly have they sent their insolent behests to Lord Melbourne by medium of a clean-shaved and clean-shirted deputation 200 strong, pretending to be the most influential body in the kingdom. The rank knavery of these pretenders is now found out. Their boasted po litical weight, as arrogating a sufficiency of power to sway the Parliamentary returns according to their own heart, is discovered to be arrant humbug." The Herald advocates the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre to the Speakership, and observes that the Duke of Wellington is decidedly favourable to it. "We have unierstood (says our Contemporary) that an illustrious Duke, whose good opinion is not less the seal and stamp of excellence upon civil than upon military servants of the public, has expressed, from the first day that the re cent appeal to the people was determined on, the most emphatic interest in the Right Hon. Gentleman's re-elec tion, " of which his Grace would never allow himself to doubt." AW 2 XCUILTUFLILL. In the Highlands the whole of the last month was variable and unsettled ; it had only seven dry days at its beginning, and during the last three or four the wea ther has changed decidedly for the worse. The potato harvest, it is feared, will suffer. The clover harvest had commenced, but the crop is far from bulky, and the hay will be but alight crop in most places. Accounts from Belgium state that the bad weather for the last eight days has caused an extraordinary rise in the price of corn. The harvest is abundant, but with out fine weather will not ripen. During the last three weeks the accounts from the hop districts have been unfavourable, stating the growth to have been checked by the cold nightS, while heavy rains had chilled the ground. The estimate of the duty r has again receded to 145,000/. to 150,0001., and high Iprices are demanded. Accounts from the south of Ireland say, " The crops look uncommonly well and healthy—the potato crop would have failed greatly only for the rain. If the weather take up there is every prospect of an abundant and remunerating harvest." From the north letters say, " The wheat-crop is one-fourth over last year, and in the event of favourable weather, incomparably superior in quality." NAVIGATION. The navigability of the Euphrates is by every succeeding expedition discovered to be more and more practicable. The two iron steam-boats, which about eighteen months ago left Liverpool, have traversed the stream 1,100 miles from its mouth, an achievement never before accomplished. The only obstacle, says Mr. Floyd, surgeon to the flotilla, was between Hit and Anna, where the navigation is obstructed by the remains of waterwheels anciently used for irrigation. Nearly 300 of these were met with in the short space of 136 miles, and one-third of them are in operation at the pre sent day. They consist of large parapet walls built into the stream, directing the current of the river to the wheels, which are forty feet in diameter, and made of clumsy branches of trees, with 150 vessels slung round them to raise the water in. The Court of Conservancy have actively taken up the existing nuisances along the river. Among others, recited as encroachments and obstructions to the navi.• • gation necessary to be removed, are the piles driven in before the wharfs between London-bridge and the Tem ple ; the floating pier of barges on the N.E. side of Blackfriars-bridge ; a similar pier of barges at South wark-bridge; and others of the same kind at Dyer's Hall Wharf, Old Shades Wharf, and Nicholson's Wharf, which project into the river. The Lord Mayor and Corpora tion intend to remove these nuisances immediately. A model of a very elegant pier proposed to be erected at Blackfriars-bridge is to be seen at the Guildhall. LAW AND POLICE. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday, Thomas Watts, late of the Crown Inn, Monmouth, and a special constable during the riot, was liberated on bail. He stated that his insolvency arose from neglecting his busi ness by looking after the Chartist rioters. Among the debtors to the estate the following were entered ley the insolvent :—" The Lords of her Majesty's Whitehall, London, 701., 1840—good. Money paid to the use of her Majesty in paying witnesses attending the trial at the Special Commission of the Chartist rioters at Mon mouth," and " Thomas Jones Phillips, Esq., of Mon mouth, 201. —money paid in subpoenaing witnesses at tending the trial of the rioters." —At Lambeth -street Police-office yesterday, William Bradford, aged 73 years, was commired for trial on a charge of having caused the death of his wife. Two young men, of the names of Davis and Web ster, were committed yesterday at Union Hall, to take their trial for robbing their employer, William Black well, hosier and linendraper, Camberwell, of money and goods to a considerable amount. Lewis, another shop man, implicated in the robbery, gave evidence against his accomplices, and was admitted to bail. In the Rolls' Court, yesterday, Lord Langdale re fused the application of Mr. Kelly to transfer the trial of the sues, in the case of Fowler v. Wood and others, from Gloucester to the Bristol Assizes. The short hear ing of the case at Gloucester the other day, it appears, cost 3,0001. ; probably the hearing before the Master of the Rolls will cost 1,0001. more. The lawyers are wise in their generation, and will take care to cut down Jemmy Wood's property to an ordinary size, before it is divided among his heirs. NAVAL AND PiIILITATLY. The 72d Regiment of Highlanders, stationed at Windsor, was reviewed by Prince Albert in the Home Park on Thursday morning. ELECTIONEESLIRTG. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St Martin's-in-the-Fields took place yesterday evening, in Leicester-square, for the purpose of forming a District Registration Society. A Committee was formed, and agreed to meet every Thursday, to give every informa tion to the electors relating to the registration. SPORTING. A gentleman in Strathspey writes—" There is abundance of grouse this season on the Earl of Seafield's moors. A covey of young was seen on the wing on the moors of Lochindorb, near Grantown, so early as the 31st of May." Captain Bonham, one of our English sportsmen, at present in the Highlands, has brought with him a num ber of falcons or hawks, trained, jessed, and hooded for hawking. The fishing in the River Ness is very prosperous. Mr. Arabin, son of the Sergeant, lately caught in the stream nineteen salmon-fish during the week, ranging from 81bs. to 191b5., besides a noble one weighing 251bs. THEA.'WX2,IO.ILI. - . Mademoiselle Cerito took her benefit at the Opera last night, and the rivalry between herself and Mademoi selle Stephan, brought out her powers to perfection. COI7IIT-PASTIZONAMLES. The Archbishop of Dublin and his family arrived at the Hotel de Bellevue in Brussels on Wednesday. The Duke of Devonshire was on Monday at Liege, on his way to Germany. The Duke of Norfolk has been seeing company at Arundel Castle. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose return early next week to Belgrave-square, from Dumbartonshire. The Marquis of Normanby returned to town yes terday, from Windsor Castle. MISCELLANEOUS. —Yesterday, at two o'clock, Sir Isambard Brunel, with Mr. Hawes, M.P., Mr. Mason, one of the assistant en gineers, and several gentlemen, walked through the Thames Tunnel, from Rotherhithe to Wapping. Mr. Page, the acting engineer, was in the shaft, and with the workmen received Sir Isambard with loud cheers ; who shortly addressed the men, thanking them for their courage and perseverance. This great undertaking may thus be said to be accomplished. In a few months it is expected one of the archways will be opened for foot passengers. The outside of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral is now under repair, the lead-work having become much dilapidated by age and exposure to the heat of the sun. At a late meeting of the Lincoln Temperance So ciety, the question was raised whether the use of brandy in cookery, particularly in plum-puddings, would be an infringement of the rules. After a long and grave de bate it was resolved that brandy in puddings is eaten and not drunk, and that, therefore, it does not fall within the list of prohibited articles. This is an ingenious method of compromising an embarrassing question, so as to allow a man to swallow brandy without violating his sense of propriety. Vauxhall Gardens are at length advertised for sale, and the ingenious art of supplying upwards of five hundred supper-tablcs with one small, solitary Yorkshire ham, will, we suppose, be numbered shortly among the things that were. Had the illustrious Simpson lived to witness this destruction of the great theatre of his glory, he would no doubt have given vent to his feelings in one of the most pathetic addresses that ever set Syntax and orthography at defiance. A tradesman in the City lately employed a pro fessional gentleman to recover a debt of thirty shillings; he succeeded, and the costs were seventy pounds! Who shall say, after this, that Law is not among the first and greatest of our national blessings ? Voltaire states, that he never was ruined but twice —once. when he gained a law-suit, and once, when he lost it. A Belfast paper states that the neighbourhood was visited last week by a water -spout Fortunately no lives were lost. This water -spout would have done admirably to fill the kettles of the Belfast teetotallers. RUMOURS OP TUE DAY. The Earl of lladdington, who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Sir R. Peel's short Administration, has embarrassed his friends by insisting on being re -appointed to that office, under the new Peel Government. Dr. Channing, whose powerful writings are so well known in Europe, is reported to have ceased to preach, owing to increase of infirm health. Nevertheless, he has nations, instead of limited communities, for his congre- ions. Mr. Croker, who converted Sir Francis Burdett to Toryism, has been invited by Sir Robert Peel to meet the Hon. Baronet at Drayton Manor. Report says that the wily politician who effected this astonishing conver sion, also operated successfully upon another great Re former, about the year 1834, but there is no mention of any invitation being forwarded to that gentleman. The Colonial GOvernor of Bermuda had issued an order, that after the 6th July the only charges to which all vessels would be subject on entering or clear ing at the various ports in that colony would be, to th e Governor, 11. 45.; Secretary, 11.
