LONDON: SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1841. We have heard that the prorogation of Parlia- MC nt,p::eparatory to the dissolution, may be looked for about the 15th ofJune; perhaps it may come earlier, perhaps it may be a day or two later, but the event is undoubtedly close at hand, and the anti -monopolists have no time to lose. The mo nopolists are taking the field, they are giving a Etas of their plunder to brise the plundered into patient submission, and into continuing their humble and obedient slaves. Men of Eng land, convince them that you are not to be duped- You overthrew the iron despotism of the mighty Emperor NAPOLEON, and it is impossible that you should settle down the slaves of such mercenary, avaricious, imbecile tyrants as the owners of rent. They are great only by our ex treme 'humility. Our worship snakes them strong. " Fools that we are, like Israel's fools of yore, The calves ourselves have fas.hioned we adore, But let true reason once resume her reign, . These gods shall dwindle into calves again." -- • - The Corn-laws and similar laws made by the calves, whom we have elevated to be gods, are the curse of the country. They afflict the com munity with hunger and dearth. They stop up the channels of legitimate enterprise, and make the energies of our population overflow into 'Ol - subterfuges, tricks, and contrivances — (not half so bad, however, as the landlords' laws, though the people are punished for them), — wholly unworthy of a free and clever people. They doom our young men to idl3ness, and our young women to a childless life. They convert the holiest virtues into offences, and the sweetest affections they turn into bitter anguish. By preventing men from providing easily and decently for fami lies, they make marriage a crime. To abolish the Corn-laws will increase every man's income, for it will increase very much the whole quantity of good things to be divided amongst all. It will open boundless fields to the enterprise of our people, employment will be abundant, the means of providing for families easy, and marriage will no longer be, z.s it is now in many, gases3 . a si n. The same P ri #ciplei,apply to the discriminatin g sugar duties: SAigar is food, and a plentifutsup. ply of sugae:would of itself abrogate the Corn laws. , The"sugar t axers and the bread taxers, plan — fore, have a common interest in plundering Our gracious QUEEN, uninformed of the senti ments and wishes of her people, is about to make an appeal to them. Tell her no falsehood ; con ceal from her no facts; answer her honestly and plainly, by sending none to Parliament but anti monopolists, that her nobles and their friends and allies have most sorely opprersed and shamefully maltreated her faithful people. When she knows their wishes, when she is made sensible how deeply they have been injured, she will make common cause with them against those who would oppress her people and tyran nise over her. If her appeal be answered with the voice of truth, she must and will be on our side, and the QUEEN'S name is a tower of strength. Men and women of England, now or never; do your duty honestly and energetically to yourselves, your children, your QUEEN, and your GOD; and leave the issue of the great con test, which you are solemnly invoked to begin, in His hands who disposes of empires. We see by the Votes of the House of Com mons that a considerable number of petitions, against any alterations in the Corn-laws, is pre sented, but each petition is signed by very few persons. They are in general presented by some High Churchman and Tory, such as Sir ROBERT INGLIS, the Member for the University of Oxford, Mr. PAKINGTON, or Sir THOMAS Ac- LAND. Many of these petitioners come with pe titions for Church Extension, from which circum stances we infer that the clergy of the Esta blished Church are the real manufacturers of these prayers for the continuance of the bread tax. There is no doubt that they are actively engaged in bolstering up that tax, and nothing that we may say can add, we believe, to their hostility. We do not, however, understand their policy in uniting with the landlords, and so bringing on the Church all the animosity which ? the people must necessarily feel for the cause of poverty, hunger, and starvation. The clergy man should be the poor man's friend, but he unites with the landlords, makes himself the enemy of the poor, and causes the Churchto lose all hold of the affections of the people. It is a favourite maxim of Sir ROBERT INGLIS and the High Church party that the Dissenters have acquired their houses and lands subject to Church-rates; that they gave so much less for them on account of the rates; and therefore Sir ROBERT and his friends say the Dissenters are unjust for wishing to increase their property by throwing off the tax. The same argument holds good as to tithes. The great majority of the pre sent race of landlords have acquired their pro perty subject to sharing it with the Church. In fact, the landlords when they purchased the land purchased only nine-tenths of it, and gave so much less for it. They are not owners of the whole but only of nine parts, and the tenth part belongs to others. We are not defending the institution of tithes, but they seem as valid ground to the landlord as the ownership of the soil, and the landowners have no more right to complain of not having the tenth part which they never purchased or inherited, than Lord WiNctitisEA has a right to complain that Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S estate does not belong to him as well as his own. At the same time the landowners do complain of it, and what is more, they maintain the Corn laws, in order to relieve themselves from tithes, or take from the people an equivalent in the shape of a bread-tax, for that which never be longed to them. So general have their doctrines on the subject become, that our readers will have seen in our extract yesterday, from the Journal des Debuts, that the French paper, in speaking of our Corn-laws, Justifies what it calls protec tion for agriculture against foreign productions, on account of the landlords having tithes to pay. Mr. RICARDO advocated a fixed duty on the same account; and the writer, whose pamphlet we referred to ten days ago, avowedly takes up Mr. RICARDO'S opinions. In the same manner, Mr. HODGES defended the Corn-laws a few nights ago in Parliament, because the tithes still exist, though they had been commuted, which, however, put an end to many incidents of tithes injurious to the landlord, while it still left him merely minus the tenth part of the estate. The argument, therefore, that the landlords should tax the people's bread, because they are subject to the payment of tithes, means that they are to wring from the people by law an equivalent for that tenth part of the produce of the land which never belonged, and does not now belong, to them. They might as well tax our bread because they have to pay jointures and annuities to their dowager mothers and lady sisters. We are aware that the clergy, whose income in part depends on the price of corn, have a trifling interest in keeping up the Corn-laws, but we are surprised that they should make common cause with the landlords, who treat the claims of the clergy as an incumbrance from which they compel the people to relieve them. They admit, by supporting the Corn-laws, because the land has to pay tithes, that they have not as good a right to them as the landlords have to their estate. To us it seems as if the landlords made a cat's-paw of them, or they made a cat's-paw of themselves to drag the landlords' chestnuts out of the fire. Be the cause avarice, ignorance, or sheer folly, the bulk of the clergy, we believe, make common cause with the landlords in their endeavours to uph o ld t h e b read-tax. We thought that th e Ch urch was unpopular enough without affixing on it this additional stigma. It stands in the way of popular educa tion; it stands in the way of general harmony and unanimity; it is openly opposed to perfect freedom ; the Catholics and Dissenters are op= pressed in its name ; it is considered a pub 4 nuisance; and now the landlords represent 4, and the clergy confirm the landlords' representa r tion, as the cause of the Corn-laws. They ai* kept up, it is said, to enable the landlords to pay tithes. For the sake of the Church, bread f i s and the the Church people the s t a r r y e e l d i i n S' o w b t i h e r i Cinlatudrechd,eaanrd it professes to teach, and the morality which it is _ _ supposed to inculcate, are made odious by being associated with the accursed bread-tax. If it be curious to see the clergy lend them selves to this manceuvre of the rent-owners, the conduct of the latter towards the Church is as in- consistent. - They represent it as essential to the peace of society. V They look to the priesthood as a moral police to enforce obedience and teach duty. They rely on it, - they say, for samethepreser , vation of ord er . At th e sae time they hold it up to public odium by asserting that the detestable bread -tax is levied in order to enable the land,. lords to p ay the priesthood. Their conduct is ar7 the people, and they have made common cause I._ ; to attain their object. Let every town, therefore, every hamlet— let the inmates of every hotise, rise against the continuance of these cursed monopolies. This is truly "not the cause of faction or of party ;" it is as truly a national cause. It is the cause of honesty and morality against plunder and vice. It is the cause of every man and every woman in the empire. It is the cause even of the oppres sors and monopolists themselves, for they would be as much benefited by abolishing these mono polies as were the planters, who no longerlive in dread of the labourers as they lived in dread of their slaves, by the abolition of slavery. Every man, every woman, and every child, is interested in gaining a victory for truth and righteousness over falsehood and wrong. All who love and honour virtue ; all who wish to open paths for enterprise, and give a free scope, as GOD has given, to talents and industry ; all, who wish to see abundance on the earth, and the people easy and happy ; all who wish to see youth well occupied, and maidens likely to be married, should now, and at once, strenuously exert themselves to influence the coming elec tion. They should everywhere secure the defeat of those who withhold bread from the poor, who curse the people with dearth, and annually starve many hundreds, or even thousands, out of existence. TB E SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1841 rant hyliCicrisy. The priesthood and the land. ownerS - -cumbine to tax the people under a false pretext, and as long as they succeed, and no longer, will they agree together. We recommend to the attention of tradesmen, as well as legislators, a letter on " Usury-laws," given in..another column. It is written by a gentleman who, from his professional duties and the attention he has paid to the subject, is well qualified to judge of the ruinous effects of the present system of money-lending. The public, indeed, have no idea of the numerous cases of extortion which are practised daily, and which are still increasing. The Marquis of LANS , - DOWNE, therefore, deserves great credit for having taken up the question in the House of Lords, and obtained the appointment of a Com mittee to investigate the changes caused: by the modification of the Usury-laws. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all reached us. We copy from the Presse, a Minis terial paper, the following paragraph 111. Piscatory is charged with a misson, with regard to which we have collected information that, we have every reason to be here exact, but which it appears to us ought not to be made public at the prese n t moment . It is confidently stated that, within a very few days, a strong squadron, under command of Rear-Admiral de la Susse, will leave Toulon for the coasts of Greece. This expedition is closely connected with the mission of N. Piscatory. It was rumoured in Paris that the object of M. PISCATORY'S mission is to compel the Greek Go vernment to pay the dividend upon the loan gua ran teed by France. This is going the proper way to work. King OTHO is incapable of bring honest except by compulsion. His creditorS , should therefore always d eman d payment - from the quarter-deck of a man of war. If France has actually taken such a step Lord PAL3IERSTON ought to lose no time in following her example. The high price of butchers' meat in Paris was the subject of general conversation in the Hall of the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The Deputies are not fond of horse 7 flesh or thig-flesh, and rather than have home-tail soup served uP to them for ox-tail, we believe they will make some effort to lower the import duty on beef. When Deputies are politely requested to be con tent with a joint of meat supplied by the:knack ers, they immediately discover that a system of monopoly can be carried too far. The home producers will of course be quite savage at any attempt to lower the duty on meat, and in France they constitute a very numerous class, consisting.'nOt only of the rearers of cows, sheep, swine, and poultry, but likewise the proprietors of .spavined, broken-winded horses, donkeys, clogs, and those feline substitutes for rabbits so beloved by antiquated spinsters, and so hated 'by old bachelors. We should like amazingly to see some Deputy charged with a petition from the cat-growers of France, .for compensation in the event of any reduction being enade. on the import duty on beef The Courrier Beige, in giving an account of events in the East, has the following : " The movements of the Christians of the East are being developed and organised in a manner very remarkable. Ac cording to the last accounts from Thessaly, the chief inha bitants of the province have proclaimed its inderendence at solemn meeting held on Holy Thursday on Mount Olympus. They announce their desire to be united to Greece or to the Eastern empire, if it should please Providence to re-establish it on Christian bases. General Valenzas takes the command of the independent army. He has published a proclama tion to his troops, concluding with this energetic appeal : " Greeks, Christians, B ro th ers !—T o arms ! ' Co arms ! On to Constantinople, now or never ! Our standard is the white cross on a blue field and our war-cry Jesus Christ and St. Sophia. Given at our head-quarters on Olympus, this holy day of Easter, in the year 1841 of Christian liberty.—Va lenzas, Commander-in-Chief of the Christian Ortholox Libe rating Army of Thessaly." In Albania a provisional Govern ment was cons:ituted at Wrana on Holy Thursday. and the Christian population drove out a band of Mussulman Arnauts who oppressed the country. A tax of a tenth has been esta blished to cover the expenses of the army of deliverance. Va rious other tribes have submitted to the government of Alba nia. The insurgents at Cassandra seem to have acknowledged the authority of Valensas, and they possess some ships, with which they intend to attack the Turks. It seems that, by news of the 30th April, the island of Cyprus was inclined to rise in insurrection.' I (From the Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel.) Attz ew, MAY 6.—For some days past the whole country between the Sig and Mostaganem is covered with Arabian horremen, who scour the plain. We have no news of the re gular infantry, only it is said that it is engaged in observing the column of General Bugeaud. This report seems to agree with the developement of the plans for the campaign laid down by the Emir, which 1 have already mentioned to you, which is to avoid any general action, and only to harrass our posses sions when destitute of troops ; but they have been rather in a hurry in carrying these plans into execution in our province, for being misinformed by their spies, they believed that the two corps of Algiers and • Oran were combined ; and while the cavalry of Ben Salem made an incursion into the province of Algiers,' that of Mus tapho Bam Thamy, as I have stated, spread over the plains near our places on the sea -coast, and our outposts. They have been much surprised at finding us ready to receive them, and did not attempt any skirmish. They even pretended to retreat towards Mascara, spreading reports of a great assemblage of all the forces of Abd-el-Kader in the plain Greris ; but these tricks are old, and the division of Oran has too much experi ence to be deceived by them. It seems that the views of the Governor-General are very seriously directed to Mostaganem, for fresh supplies are being conveyed to that little town. Not withstanding all, the motions of the Arabs, we firmly believe that they are at their last stake, and that the war is nearly at an end, if we do not stop in the course which we are now following. The Emir has at this moment ten thousand horsemen at the most. His regular infantry may be five thousand men, in a word, the whole Regency cannot assemble more than eighteen thousand fighting men, even if all the contingents and entire tribes are collected. Add to this, that these eighteen thousand men can not from their social organisation encamp together for above a week. Hence you may judge of our immense superiority, for our army in Africa is magnificent and expetienced, the weather is very fine, and we have no s i c k.

CITY, FRIDAY EvET.Trlo. — The near approach of thQ settling day in the English markets, conjoined with the peculiar position of politi cal affairs, has of course a tendency to check speculation in the funds, and even to retard, in some measure, the investments of the public, who cannot be certain how long it may be profitable for them to leave their money in stocks, even if they put it there. On the other hand the present dullness of trade causes a sufficient number of temporary purchases to prevent any particular move ment in prices. The supply and demand are, in fact, pretty well balanced. We understand that the failure which has occurred in the South American trade has no reference to the Brazils, with which the firm in question was not connected, but principally with the Republic of Columbia. The amount of its liabilities are said to be very heavy. We may remark that a stoppage in the Brazil trade has not occurred for many years past. The fact of orders being in the market to purchase amounts of the floating debt has served again to buoy up the premium, which to-day went as high 'as Gs. and 10s. Of East India Bonds the current value was par to 2s. premium. Consols for immediate transfei)vere at 90 to 89:1, closing at 89* sellers, and for the Acipount at 89i to 90.

HAGUE, MAY 18. —The King left his residence this morn ing to proceed to Utrecht, where brilliant preparatiOns have been made for his reception. F- hi _ rom the proceedings in the Commons last evening, it is evident that Ministers intend to dissolve Parliament, and take the sense of the nation in respect to their late proceedings. The Tories are disappointed, as they fully expected the resig nvion of Ministers. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's notice in the Commons last night has not had any effect on the funds.

STOCKHOLM, MAY 11.-it is reported that negotia tions have been commenced with Count Lowenhjelm, the King's ambassador at Vienna, who has come home on leave of absence to induce him to take the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is said that Count Bjornjerna, the Swedish ambassador at the Court of London, may be shortly expected here. It seems that at length after the lapse of a year the Estates will meet this week in a pleno plenorum to receive the Royal an swer to the memorial of the Estates respecting various changes in the laws. There is reason to fear that the Government will refuse its sanction to the most impor tant resolutions in this respect ; for instance, the exten sion of the right of representation in the Estate of the peasants. NEW STRELITZ, MAY 12.—The preparations for the marriage of Princess Caroline to the Crown Prince of Denmark gives great animation to our city. All the public buildings are being repaired. A considerable ad dition will be made to the Palace, and likewise to the re sidence of the Minister. The town hall is entirely pulled down, and will be rebuilt before the marriage, in a new state. lIANOVER, MAY 16.—We hear that the Government will be able to support, by a resolution of the . German Diet, the large extraordinary grants which it will re quire from the next assembling of the Estates, which will tend greatly to shorten the discussion on those grants. His Majesty the King, it is said, will go this summer to Ems ; and, if we may give credit to a Rhenish Gazette, will pay a visit to Prince Metternich at Johannisburg. FROM THE ELBE, MAY 9.—lt has lately been ob served by the public journals that the Russian newspapers are not permitted to communicate anything respecting the proceedings of the Russian Provincial Assemblies. On the authority of private letters from Warsaw, we can add that the columns of the Prussian State Gazette, which report the proceedings of the Assemblies, are painted over with black before the journals are delivered in Poland (and doubtless in Russia too).

T he author, however, succ ee d e d b etter i n prose than in poetry ; and hi s " H ero i ne " —a qu i z upo n f i r ' e mantic novels—is by far his b es t p ro d uct i on .

IMPORT DUTIES, .Sec. By Thomas Smith. William Hoperaft, London.. One of the objects of this pamphlet is to suPP l ' f f the deficien c y i n th e App en di x to t h e R e port ° the Select Committee on Import Thaties, quoting the prices, and estimating the rates P e ? : cent. which the duty bears to the cost of the al" tide. The table in which the rate per cent. each article is given is an important docunie" and is entitled "A copy of a Return to au orde r of the House of Commons, for the Select Coln; mittee, completed with the price of the articles bond on the average of 1839, and the rate per cent. which the Customs' duty bea r s o n the fir s t cost, or bonded price of ea c h arti c l e ." This tab ie gives the quantity of each article imported, e t. '; ported, and left for home cons um pti on , with rate of duty, the price in bond, the rate per " I l l. ; which the duty bears to th e cos t, an d yearly nett receipt ; for instance, the V ail : tity of coffee imported from B r iti s h Plantation - 1 is 2f2,506,3041b5. at a duty of I s . ld. per Lb. 311( at the rate of 46k per cent., producing a ndtt r.e" ceipt of 564,1761.; Foreign Spi r it s , 3,408,529 P i.' lons, at 642 per cent.; tum, 4,643,01 ga: l - I°ll at 200 per cwt. ; Sugar (British plants' don! 4,555,560 cwt. at 64 per cent., while tha ,t foreign amounts to a prohibitiou.

Another object of writer is to impress on the Government, vi. ‘l- they revise the duties, the importance o! P rc, serving the system of fixed duties, both convenience to the Government officers and ti le merchants or d.ealers. On this point he give' ti good authority, who urges reasons that are Qui° • unanswerable. He say— In reference to the objections to ad valorem duties. an, a to show the advantage of fixed duties, we adduce 'ti t '? opinion of John Travers, Esq., and we know of no oue , af higher standieg as a trader of the City of London; from a letter, in which be successfully combated th • Ministers on this matter, ' we take the following ex, tract :—" Of an ad valorem duty I need say little.
