MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—In the present state of parties, the proceedings at the dinner given by Sir Robert Peel to his constituents at Tamworth will, of course, be read with some curiosity. The dumb show still continues. Sir Robert Peel will tell nobody what he will do as Minister until he is Minister. The point to which he sticks is—turn out the Whigs, and put me in, and then you shall see what you shall see. His own party are quite as much in the dark as the rest of the world. He says he is " constantly asked" what he means to propose. But he is asked in vain. " The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed." Why, then, are they his party ? Plainly, on no ground of public policy. Some other tie binds them to him. They do not follow him for the sake of some known good to be achieved for the country. What can charity itself surmise but that they follow him for selfish and sinister ends, acting upon " tainted" mo tives, iu conformity with the tainted characters which their own journals ascribe to some of the more influen tial members of the faction ? The power of such charac ters to force themselves into office may well make the expectant Premier uncertain about what measures it will be expedient or practicable for him to propose. No one who has studied Sir Robert Peel would expect him to confess to such a difficulty as this. His characteristic course would be to varnish it over, give it the colouring of a free choice, and manufacture it into a merit. This is precisely what he has done. In shrinking from all disclo sure of his future policy, Sir Robert claims to be in fluenced by a principle of propriety. He vamps up an analogy to prove that it would be " not fit" in him, the aspirant to the premiership, to apprise the nation of his intentions. He affirms himself to be in the position of a medical man, who sees a patient suffering, wrongly treated, and without confidence in the present physician; and who declines to suggest anything because not regu larly called in, it would be " no proper advice." We know this is medical etiquette ; and we also know that if any physician of our acquaintance should see one for whom he professed half the regard professed by Sir R. Peel for the country in this condition, and acting on Sir Robert's principle, should sacrifice the health or life of his friend to the etiquette of his profession, we should think him a most unexceptionable man of forms, and also as cold-hearted a scamp as ever indulged in false profesions. TIMES.—The Government of Louis Philippe was recognised and supported by England in 1830, not from any enthusiastic admiration of its popular origin, but because it was, under the circumstances, the form of government best fitted to secure the liberties of the French people, and to check the abuse of them. The great public interest of maintaining a strong and orderly Government in France, in order to curb that -revolu tionary spirit which had overturned the Throne of the elder Bourbons, and might again have devastated, Europe, was paramount to all minor considerations of national jealousy. It was so then, and it is so still. Whatever tends to weaken that Government tends to re move the only barrier by which the world is protected from evils so enormous, that they cannot for a moment be weighed against the utmost success of Lord ]?on sonby's paltry intrigues. It cannot be concealed that the loss of the English alliance, the excitement of the military operations of last year, and the ad ditional burdens flung upon the country by a reckless and short-lived Administration, have considerably in creased the difficulties with which Louis Philippe has to contend. The state of society in France is too unsettled, and the authority of her rulers too insecure, for the friends of peace and order to trifle with such inflammable materials. It was the part of England to conciliate the nation and to support the Government : it has been the part of Lord Palmerston to irritate the one and to in sult the other. The actual result of his policy, as far as France is concerned, has been to stimulate the bad pas sions of that restless and ambitious people, and to weaken the power of the established authorities. A few weeks more will put an end to this deplorable state of things. A Conservative Administration will inherit none of the passions and projects which have so agitated and con fused our foreign relations : but it will apply its steady influence to the maintenance of that good understanding with foreign nations upon which their internal order and the general tranquillity of Europe depend. POST.—The speech of Sir Robert Peel, which we had the satisfaction of giving to the publicyesterday morning, exclusively in the whole of our impression, cannot fail to do great good to the Conservative cause. How very dif ferent it is from the snappishness and deception which were the prominent characteristics of the written address lately given to the world by Lord John Russell ! We have perfect confidence in submitting Sir R. Peel's speech to the common sense ,and rational manly feeling of the country, that it will be received with warm ap probation. We care not whether they who sit in judg ment upon it belong to the Tory or the Whig school of politics, provided they be people of sense, and above the small malignities of party spirit. They will find it plain and honest and earnest. It is not deformed by any boasting. Notwithstanding all the temptations to retaliate which have been furnished by Whig-Radical organs, there was nothing said unworthy the great leader of a great party. Sir Robert Peel plainly asserted the plain truth as to the censures which both the Parliament and the people had passed upon the Ministers of the Crown, but he did not for a moment lose sight of the respect due to the Crown itself, nor did he presume upon the probability that the power he now wields would make it necessary fir the Crown to appoint him and his political friends in the room of those whom Parliament and the people have censured. HERALD.—We congratulate ' the public—and Sir Robert Peel not less—on the speech delivered by the Right Hon. Baronet at the dinner given by him to his constituents on Wednesday evening the 28th instant, in the Town hall at Tamworth. It was a manly, unaffected, plain, intelligible expose of his own views of his own posi tion under the circumstances of the present eventful crisis. The repor:, which we published in a portion of our impression yesterday, and which we repeat to-day, it is perfectly refreshing to peruse after the recent inflic tions we have witnessed of such vulgar balderdash and incoherent raving as formed the staple of the last perform ances at the Corn Exchange, Dublin. Sir Robert treated whatever subject he touched upon with the frankness of an Englishman, the independence of a gentleman, and the dispassionate judgment of an enlightened statesman. There was no "clap-trap" about his address. He went directly to the points which he wished to enforce and illustrate, and made up by mere argument and sound reasoning—for all that the friends of " repeal" would say was wanting in force and fire. He relied only on admitted facts. He left to others the bad eloquence of unscrupulous invective and studied misrepresentation ; and he elicited testimonies of enthusiastic approbation and expressions of personal attachment from the com pany whom he addressed, which " liberators" and " repre sentatives " of whole kingdoms in their single persons may be surprised to learn were so elicited without indul gence in a single vituperative charge against a political opponent—without a single insinuation of jealousy or malice against an unsuspecting friend. It is impossible to avoid contrasting (mentally, we mean, for we have no intention of visiting the penalty of the actual collation on our tit:offending readers)--Lthe simple, brief, and digni fied acknowledgment s of the Right Hon. Baronet to his constituents for their continued support and confidence, with the stilted extravagance, the fawning obsequious ness, of the thanks uttered by O'Connell on analogous occasions. ADVERTISER. —The Morning Journal which is privileged to possess the confidence of the Tamworth Baroncf, continues its piecemeal developments of the course of policy which the Right Hon. Gentleman means to pursue when he shall appear before the public in his new capaCity of Prime Minister of England. If .on some points of vast importance the morning omen 'of the expectant Pre m i er i s vague and indefinite in ban intimations, there a re ot h ers in which it is and explicit in its revelations as to leave no room ain' e r doubt or misapprehension in a n y m i n d . The o fe l n l t t)" question of the ballot is au instance in point. If any one a lossots to what conclusion ought to b e come to with r egard to the probable course which Sir Robert Peel, -when he shall have wrested the reins of office from their present possessors, means to adopt on the question of the ballot, he has only to consult the Puddle -dock oracle of yesterday, and his darkness will be enlightened at once. For ourselves, slippery, sliding, and supple as w e k now the Premier elect to be, we never had the shadow of a doubt as to the course which, on that question, he would pursue. We knew his bitter hostility to the right of secret votin g , and his determination, so often as the s ub j e ct should be mooted in Parliament, to resist the adoption of the Ballot with all the appliances which his position as the First Minister of the Crown, and leader of the House of Com mons will place at his disposal. If any one should have been sanguine enough to suppose for a moment that the Mallet would be included in the category of " expedient" •questions, such person must h a Ve totally miscenceive'd the character of the Right. Hon. Gentleman. Whatever may be his other concessions to the popular demands, whatever other Tory "principle" he may immolate on the shrine of his favourite " expediency," the surrender of his prejudices against the Ballot is a sacrifice which he will never make. There is something in the moral con stitution of the man at irreconcilable variance with the secret and unbiassed exercise of the electoral qualification.

'We have grounds o f quarre l w i th the higher aristocracy, but it ie chiefly with it s o ld er members, and withtht few exclusives, who through the miserable vanity of ex rensiveness, still cling to old habits, but let us look to the younger members of even the higher aristocracy, the Lincoln, Mandevilles, Ashleys, Mahons, &c., and where in the world can you hope to find more accomplished or betthr men? Descend a step in the nobility and you will find the same glorious improvement in the rising generation. It is the same, and in the same degree, with the gensry and middle classes ; and even in those humbler order s.v: hi c h i nte lli gence an d i mprovement reach the last, there is manifestly a mighty amelioration—witness the fate iin of Soci a li sm .

It is impossible to contemplate au improved state of society as W have been considering without a feeling of delight and gratitude ; and without a feeling of extreme anxiety too that nothing shall be permitted to interrupt its progress. The people have done their part at the elections to pro vide a spotless Ministry ; and have done enough too to prove that the power of such a Minis try will be immense, a power commensurate with the whole moral force of the people of the United King dom. Let us see such a Ministry—and we expect to see it—and we may repose ourselves in peace, with the assurance that during the life of any of us, England will never witness the return of the Whig-Radicals to power. GLOBE.—There is something rather comical in the idea of Tamworth being the chosen borough to whose in habitants the future Minister of this great country makes known all that he condescends to tell of his political in tentions ; but, if we are to believe the Post of yesterday, Tamworth is a much more important place than the world has been in the habit of thinking it. It is true, that at his nomination Sir Robert declared that he would rather sit for Tamworth than for Westminster, —which reminded us at the time of the pride of a Little Pedlingtonian, who, notwithstanding all the re nown of the pump at Aldgate, had pinned his affec tions on the pump of Little Pedlington. That the honour of representing Tamworth and Westminster may have been brought by recent events somewhat more than formerly on a par, we cannot help admitting, and the simile of the pumps may be applied to a great por tion of the electors both at • Tamworth and at West minster. But, lest posterity should doubt the greatness of a statesman who had represented a place so little, Tam worth is declared, in the Post of yesterday, to be really a place of very considerable size and consequence. It is said of Alexander the Great that he ordered the beds of his soldiers to be made very much too large, that future ages might be filled with admiration of the stature of a Macedonian ; and we fear it is somewhat in the same spirit that Tamworth's importance is exaggerated, lest those who live hereafter should infer, from the insignifi cance of the place, the littleness of its representative. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The Madrid correspondent of a morning Contemporary has informed the-public in seve ral of his late communications, that the Spanish Govern ment is about sending to this country a remittance to pay one dividend on the Three per Cent. Stock created for the conversion of the arrears of coupons of the actual Active debt. This report was mentioned again in a con fident manner in the Morning Post of yesterday. We are inclined to think that this information is rather pre mature, as the conversion of the coupons has tot taken place, for which the bondholders have to thank the mem bers of the Committee, and therefore no payment can be made until the matter is arranged. We do not profess to know to what purposes the Government will apply the loan of 600,000,000 reals, (about 600,000/. sterling) for which the sanction of the Cortes has been demanded ; but we have been given to understand that the intention of the Spanish Government is to apply 60,0001., which will be paid by this country for the purchase of the island of Fernando Po, to the settlement of part of the arrears of interest due on the indemnity bonds, which amounts to about 30,0001. annually. ADVERTISER.—It is a matter worth noticing, per haps, as having been stated in the accounts received from Frankfort to-day, via Rotterdam, that the Italian hanker Belloni, who suspended payments at Trieste, a few days back, owing to the stoppage of the Vienna firms, has been enabled to resume again, and further, that the eminent houses of Bethmann, Bonn, and Floer sheim, at Frankfort, had withdrawn nearly all the large amount of bank and private assets deposited with Gey Muller, before the house failed, so that they will escape ' with comparatively trifling losses. On the other hand, we are sorry to state that the banking and exchnges firm of Malionie, at Vienna, has fallen into embarras ments. TIMES.—The public in the City have been much sur prised at the pertinacity with which the Sun Fire-Office have been continuing their building, while the legal question concerning the boundary line is still undecided. It seems they suspended operations till they obtained the Vice-Chancellor's injunction against the proceedings of the Commissioners of Sewers under " Michael Angelo Taylor's Act," but as soon as they had procured that, not withstanding the notice that the Commissioners would appeal to the Chancellor, they went on as before, though the question was still undecided. A reference to the law reports of the day will show that the Chancellor con siders the case as yet undisposed of, and suggests that the decision of a court of law may be procured on the construction of the statutes connected with the mat ter. The Sun Office, under these circumstances, are scarcely justified in carrying on their invasion against public improvement. The Commissioners of Sewers, it is said, are determined to continue to the last the contest for the cause of the public. REGISTRATIONS. TO BOROUGH AND CITY ELECTORS. The next General Election (should there be one) within 15 months) will virtually commence to-morrow, that being the day on which the Overseers publish the list of voters for the ensuing year. Every Reformer, should, therefore, prepare for the contest by carefully attending to the registration. Ist. Ile should see that the Overseers publish their lists on all the Churches and Chapel doors on the Ist and Bth of August, their wilfully neglecting to do so rendering them liable to a penalty of 5001. 2dly. He should examine those lists either next Sunday or the following Sunday, or at the residence of an Overseer any day before the 15th of August, which any person may do without the payment of any fee. He should see that his name, qua lification, and place are correctly described; and having ascertained if the names of any persons, who be believes to be entitled to be on such list, have been omitted, he should induce them to claim to be registered on or before the 25th of August ; for this purpose the Reform Act prescribes a form of claim which should be adopted, viz. A CLAIM TO BE REGISTERED. To the Overseers of the Parish of I hereby give you notice that I claim to have my name inserted in the List made by you of persons en titled, under the Reform Act, to Vote in the Election of Member (or Members) for the City (or Borough) of , and that my qualification consists of a at No. in in your Parish.

If a scot and lot voter, instead of the words " under the Reform Act," insert " In respect of the Scot and Lot Franchise." 1841. On or before the 25th August, give this claim to an overseer, and afterwards attend before the Revising Bar risters, who hold their Courts between the 15th Sep tember and the 25th October. A correct copy of this claim should be kept, and the party who serves the claim should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month and year. He should then copy from the Overseer's list the names of any political opponent that he believes not be be entitled to a vote ; and, should he be disinclined to take the trouble consequent upon objecting himself, he should forward his information to a Reform or Regis tration Society, if there be one in that borough or city, or to some active Reformer residing therein,—as it is necessary that the objector, or some one on his behalf, should appear in the Revising Barrister's Court to sup port the objection, though the proof of qualification will fall on the person objected to. The following are grounds of disqualification, viz. Ist. Not having been in occupation of the premises for 12 months previously to the Ist of July. 2d, Not occupying as tenant, but only as director, se cretary, clerk, servant, &c. 3d.

P. Cook, Mr. Rayner, a and Mr. Hammond, who have given their ser v ices gra tuitously in the cause of charity. Mr. Keeley, Mr. B lls, Mrs. Honey, and Mrs. Grattan have also offered to per tbrm without claiming reward from the treasury; and it is to be hoped so excellent an example will be followed by all whose names can give eclat to so worthy an object. There is a report in Hastings that Mr. Planta, the present Tory Member—who was allowed by the Re formers on the late election to get in, unopposed, ou grounds which would not be suffered to apply in the case of-any other individual of his party—is to be appointed Governor of Malta. We hope the Liberals will keep a vigilant eye upon the present registration.

From all the information we can obtain, this manufacture seems in a torpid state in every country in which it is carried on ; it is best in France. The Spa nish silk-stoekingers make the best goods in Europe, but they are very slow ; they are utterly unable to compete with the English and French silk-stockingers, especially at Nismes, where very low-priced silk hosiery is made. From a stockinger who has latterly travelled in the United States, we are enabled to obtain some informa tion as to the state of the hosiery manufactures in that Republic. There are between twenty and thirty coarse frames in Philadelphia. At George Town, about eight miles from that city, there is a large three-storied fac tory, which contains 80 coarse frames, from 18 to 24 gunge, some of them are about 22 inches wide, these are the property of Messrs. Fisher, Burton, and Smith ; employ about 15 or 20 frames in German Town ; the whole number is from 130 to 140. Stanley is endeavouring to keep a shop of silk-glove frames at work, but not with much success. The factory stockingers receive their wages only once in three months,—each workman has a reckoning book, signed by the. foreman. Upon showing this book a stockinger can get credit at the storekeepers in the vicinity, who, at the end of three months, send in their bills, and the wages are stopped by the foreman, who is allowed, it is believed, 10 per cent. by the storekeepers, who learn from him whether the stockinger is over-running his earnings, or is taking up more goods than his wages amount to. As a matter of course, the workman is grievously overcharged. He found two frames at Wilmington, three at Newcastle on the Delaware, one at Mannihunk, two at Essenteken, and at New York four or five shops, containing from 40 to 50 frames. In Long Island he saw four frames, and was informed that Brook I an d and Will iamsburgh contained five frames each. He was unable to obtain employment at any of the places mentioned. After travelling several hun dred miles in the Northern States, making the most diligent inquiries, he is decidedly of opinion that there are not more than 400 frames at work in the United States. In 1775 they were computed at about 250 frames. Our informant maintained himself by travel ling with hosiery and lace which he took with him from England ; and from his account coarse hosiery sells at double the price for which it may be obtained in Eng land. Ho saw some Germans selling Saxon-made marble-tie half hose, but they had great difficulty in dis posing of them, even by barter. English hose he could sell for ready money. The fancy bobbin net trade is yet extremely dull, nei ther is there that intense demand for plat nets which ex isted some months since. Yet we have heard of some new lever-frames being upon the stocks, notwithstanding which the frame and machine smith trade is in a de plorable state for the want of employment. The bobbin making trade is brisk. Carriage, batt, and comb-makers have employment generally ; but the needle and sinker makers have scarcely half emplOyment, especially the latter.—Nottingham Review.

Her appearance showed a state of the utmost destitution. There are some doubts as to her recovery. THE WETLEY MOOR MtißElZß4are:Williani Simpson (who was acquitted of the charge of murdering William Hewitt) was, at the Hanley police-office on Mon day list, oorrinaittecl on the thugs ofrolkiogthe doomed, THE WEA T 11ER-AT ERAGES. C It r:! a bla7ing I fire on the 18th day of July ! the speculators in the funds are watching the downward motion of the baro meter, and the Three per Cents. ; bankers are looking for a turn of the screw in Threadneedle-street ; mer chants are calculating the fall in the continental ex changes ; politicians are speculating on a possible coup d'etat before Christmas ; repealers are predicting the be ginning of the end. There is one class, and one only, which is full of hope, under the threatened calamity of a deficient harvest — the great corn gamblers have begun their operations. These speculators in the foOd of the people, like the ill omened birds of prey, which scent afar off the field of carnage, are beginning to plume their wings . and sharpen' their beaks for the day of famine. The opera tions for a rise in the averages have already begun. We are told of secret and simultaneous move ments amongst the leading corn-dealers. •Do our readers require to be enlightened as to the modes operandi of these disinterested supporters of the sliding scale ? The tale is soon unfolded. At this season of the year when the grain waves upon our plains, the leading London houses send firth their trusty agents to scour the country. Men, with sharp peering eyes, and inquisitive noses, may be seen scanning the wheat fields, and examining the standing corn, and carefully taking notes of the state of the growing crop. . 7 2rom day to day these emissaries send their reports to head quarters, announcing the prospects of the coming harvest —" a full crop," " a fair average," " a deficient har vest," " a failing crop." These are the various reports which reach the secret counting houses of the great London operators. They classify and compare these ac counts, and strike the average of the whole. They eye the barometer from hour to hour, count the moon's quar ters, and mark the prevailing direction of the wind. If all the symptoms foretel a probable deficiency in the harvest at home, then their resolve is prompt, and their action energetic. Having uespatched trusty agents to buy up, with gold, the stocks of corn on the Continent, they sit .down to their desks, and write confidential letters to their confe derates in Liverpool, Bristol, Hull, &sc., the burden of which may be expressed in two words—" We must work the averages." Forthwith the game begins. Fictitious sales are made from hand to hand, by confidential cliques, who form round robins for the occasion, :each sale, at an increased price, being duly reported to the returning officers. The average price of British corn is thus made to rise, and the duty on foreign grain to fall in proportion, until, by the time that their foreign pur chases reach home, they have reduced the duty to a no minal rate, at which their corn is cleared for consump tion. Prices are next allowed to drop a little, until the duty rises high enough to exclude further importation. The market is then in the hands of the successful gam blers in bread, they become in due time the competitors with the farmers, who are then heard to exclaim loudly against the sliding scale—that scale which the farmer and corn merchant, the duper and the duped, united in upholding at the late election THE MARKETS-YESTERDAY.
