London, July 1841. conformity to laws of nature, and is governed by them. Since man has kept any records of his own existence, he has existed in society, which is as much a part of the material universe, and is as much governed by general laws, as the winds and the rain. Being thus founded in natural laws, mot in schemes of kings and legislators, the same laws obviously determine its progress. The chief, per haps the only, great physical change in society, the parent of many changes in individuals, is the increase of population. By and with that in crease, division of labour, one great source of skill, and of augmented productive power, which begins in the different employment of the sexes, is extended ; knowledge is enlarged, arts are called forth, and civilization expanded. Whatever subordinate consequences may ensue, however va rious and oscillating may be the causes of these improvements, sometimes one predominating and then another, such is a rough and brief out line of the course of society from the beginning of time till now. Wars have ensued and checked the progress; pestilence has arisen and desolated the fairest spots of the earth ; but the same laws which first ordained them to be peopled have re peopled them, or carried the stream of society in some other direction. Man, and the laws which regulate his existence on earth, are as lasting as the earth itself. From the beginning till now the main tendency of society has been to increase and to improve; and it is a false and most mis chievous error to assume the reverse, and to form or seize a Government with a view to act on this error. We must assure our readers that we have not attributed to the Tories any principle they do not maintain ; and we must repeat, with all sincerity, and all the zeal at our command, that this is a great practical question for the present moment. The Tories are ready to carry out their false theory by the strong hand. They see the democracy growing in intelligence and power; they see manufactures, or skilled labour, in the natural progress of things, superseding in a great measure unskilled labour; they see, in consequence, the skilled labourers, and those who employ them, surpassing in wealth the less skilled labourers and their employers, who own the land, and who were once pre-eminent in society. They regard this natural progress, the result of the same natural laws which established society in its commencement, as an evil ; and they take office, claiming it by a sort of divine appointment, resolved to put a stop to all that. The outcry of the Tories is against the increase of skilled labourers, who use machinery. From Lord ASHBURTON, to the writer in the Herald, they want to stop the tendency of society to in crease and congregate in towns. We know not why that present tendency should be evil any more than those past tenden cies which have gradually conducted society from the savage to the civilised state. We know, however, that it is prodigious presump tion in the Tories to affirm the tendencies of so ciety are evil, and to claim a right to check and control them. A single branch of the oak assuming to prescribe to the whole tree when it shall put forth its leaves, and when it shall ripen its fruit—a few drops of the ocean assuming to give laws to the tides—some one star of superior splendour assuming to regulate the movements of all the starry host,--none of these anoma lous ambitions are more anomalous or more ex travagant than the Tory pretension of opposing and stopping the progress of society. We repeat that society is a natural fact, regulated by natu ral laws ; and that the Tories might as well un dertake to govern the seasons, because they may be at present unfavourable, according to our limited views, as to resist and control the ten dencies of society. The existence of such terrible tyranny, dese crating the name of law, is a great evil to both countries, which brings on them a corresponding curse, in the general poverty and turbulence of the light-hearted Irish. But the evil does not stop here. Power ful writers of both parties in Ireland and Eng land, take up different sides of the question, and inflame the animosities of both people. A wide spread national hatred is the consequence, which shows itself by the English denying equal pri vileges to the Irish, and by the Irish demanding to have the Union repealed. Rancorous abuse is poured forth by both patties; one-sided and distorted facts are laid before the public; errors become the staple of opinion ; and a violent con flict of sects, parties, and nations is the result. The landlords hug with delight their tyrannous law; and as they hug it, it maims and wounds themselves. There are other indulgences be sides those in opium and wine, and the indul gence in tyranny is one, which are fatal to those who delight in them. About ten months ago we had occasion to make some comments on a foolish resolution of the Wigtown Pres bytery, the object of which was to induce the Directors of the Galloway Steam Navigation Company to prevent a steamer that plies between Garlieston and Liverpool from starting on a Saturday, as the vessel was occasion ally driven back by stress of weather, and thereby pro faned the Sabbath in Scotland. The Directors were forced to comply with the tyrannical injunction of the Spiritual Court, and thereby destroy the property of a great number of respectable Shareholders, as appears from a circular issued by the Treasurer, calling a meet ing at the Court House of Wigtown, on the 27th inst., to consider a motion for " dissolving the Company, sell ing the vessel, and winding up the concern." A postscript which the Treasurer subjoins, like a lady afraid to tell the truth in the body of her letter, explains the whole Ul air. " For a considerable time past," says he, " the Directors have discontinued advertising the vessel for two trips in the week, as it was found impossible to sail so often without desecrating the Sabbath. The receipts of the vessel have in consequence fallen off considera bly." Well done, Sir ANDREW AGNEW ! For years you tormented the House of Commons with petitions and motions for shackling the people of England, and when the wise electors of Galloway rejected you for your manifold absurdities, you have avenged yourself by stirring up a few bigoted Pharisaical Churchmen to in jure your native county. It is indeed melancholy to see a religious, moral, and industrious people harassed, plun dered, and checked in their attempts to improve their coun try, by acts that would disgrace the Mormonites and Jump ers. To reason with such men is useless ; but sensible people cannot fail to see that stopping the steam-boat will not prevent what the pious Chairman calls the dese cration of the Sabbath. Sailing vessels will still carry passengers to Liverpool, and the chances are that two of these will be driven back for one steamer, and that ti e noise made by the sailors, the profane swearing 0,; the Captain, the flapping of the sails, and the rattlir g of the cordage, will desecrate the Sabbath infinitely more than the steady motion of the paddle-wheels, or even the whistling sound of the steam pipe. In a great com mercial country like this, it is absolutely im possible to put a stop to business on any day, and were such a suicidal act as that committed by the Galloway Company to be imitated here, the rela tives of the parties would apply to the LORD CHANCEL LOR for a writ de lunatico inquirendo, on the plea that they . were not capable of managing their affairs. HE that delighteth in mercy rather than srxrifice, must regard with displeasure those who deprice industrious men of employment, and helpless child:en of bread, on grounds alike rejected by Beason, Scripture, and all but universal opinion. if it be the case in England, as we yesterday pointed out, that the law enables the opulent and the powerful to wreak their vengeance on such of the lower classes as endeavour to oppose their will, it is also the case in Ireland to an extreme degree. There the people, outraged and insulted by a dominant aristocracy and a dominant sect—the law and the Government being avowedly constructed to promote sectarian or Protestant advantages —much more frequently than the people of England break out into acts of violence, and seek the gratification of revenge in spite of the law. In Ireland the landlords, who have made the law for their own advantage, and who have within our own memory rendered the law of ejectment more stringent to serve their purposes—in Ireland the lanffiords turn the people out of house and home by scores and hundreds. They have a regular name for this process, and call it " CLEARING." When a land lord expects to improve his revenue or enlarge his farms, or intends to make some other dispo sition of his land, as his caprice or his interest dictates, he ejects scores of human beings from the soil their fathers had made fertile by their toil, and dooms them to emigrate or to perish. The Protestant landlord in Ireland having this legal power, by which he can coerce and evelt exterminate a refractory peasantry, may, by the help and the instrumentality of the law, gratify the utmost malignity of his heart. Nobody, we suppose, will contend that he is not as liable to be influenced by all the evil passions of our com mon nature as the peasantry he tramples on, and nobody will say that he will not use the law to gratify them. When he wants to -punisli DENNIS O'BRIEN, it would be extrer .oe folly for him to go behind a hedge an DENNIS, or waylay hi m an d break ::t. shoot at a cudgel.

A letter from the Piraeus (Athens), of the 30th ult., re lates that on the preceding day the charges were drawn from the guns of the French corvette Embuscade in that harbour, and placed on the poop to dry. At the same time the gunner was inspecting the mortar connected with the life-buoy, and, by some accident, touched the spring which lights the fuse, and discharged it. The fire caught about SOlbs. of powder, laid out to dry near it, and a general explosion of that and the charges took place—broke up the deck, destroyed other parts of the ship, killed three men, and wounded twelve others.

July 15, law entirely out of view, they go on, day after day, selecting and dressing up to excite the abhorrence of the English, every act of violence which the DENNIS O'BRIENS of Ireland are guilty of, in despair of obtaining redress from the landlords' law, administered by landlords. They exaggerate every outrage of every descrip tion committed by the Catholic peasantry, - and do their best, day after day, to nourish against them the hatred of the ill-informed Protestants of England, who never reflect on the legal ini quities which drive the Irish peasantry into fury and rebellion. The slightest disrespect, such as not voting as the landlord wishes, is sufficient to make a tenant an object of vengeance, which the landlord goes, not behind the hedge, but behind the law, to execute. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND publit 14. pinion. " Who runs may read." ABROAD. FOR EZGN—COLONXAL. The Paris Journals of Monday are much divided in opinion as to the share the Government has had in provoking the disturbances at Toulouse. The Presse and the Ministers throw all the blame on M. Mahul, because he had not the courage to remain at his post after the populace had convinced him that they were re solved to knock his brains out. M. Mahul was so unfit a subject for political martyrdom, that at the end of the first stage of his journey to Paris, after his escape, he was so paralysed with terror that he had to be lifted into the diligence. Nor had his knees ceased to knock together, and his teeth to rattle with fear, when he reached Paris. The political rat Plougoulm, the Attorney-General, escaped over the roof of his house, and hid himself un der a bed in a neighbouring apartment, till the presence of the troops assured him that, however worthy to the exaltation of a lamp-post, he would not yet be called upon to give France such a proof of his past devotion to the service of King Louis Phi lippe at the expense of humanity and the laws. The French Government is a little too hard uron these fugi tive functionaries. 'Were the King and his Ministers severally requested to cite those instances of chivalrous attachment to former Governments in which they braved the terrors of death rather than forego the dangers im posed upon them by their allegiance, their answer, we opine, would consist of a series of very wry faces. The inhabitants of Toulouse were quiet on the 17th, but a rumour prevailed that they were collecting powder and shot, in anticipation of a "scrimmage " with the newly appointed authorities and the troops of the line. The Provisional Prefect hearing this, prohibited the sale of gunpowder, and seized what remained in the stores of the dealers. Troops from all directions were marching upon the city. If the Government provoke more bloodshed in Toulouse, Heaven only knows where the slaughter may terminate. Never was the French Government in a worse condition to stem the torrent of a revolutionary outbreak than at this moment, when its home and foreign policy are alike unpopular. The disaffection throughout France, though apparently silent, is deep-seated and wide-spread, Paris was visited on Sunday morning by a dreadful hurricane. Many trees round the capital were torn up by the roots, and the crops dreadfully injured. On the 10th ult, a similar hurricane swept over Moscow, unroofing 252 houses, and partially destroying the Great Theatre, the Naval Hospital, the Riding School, and the Convent of the Epiphany. —lt appears that the Englishman Lilycrap, who was seized at Boulogne with an infernal machine, and sent to Paris to be examined, visited France in the loyal capacity of a regal auxiliary. His purpose was not to shoot the King with his machine, but to sell his Majesty, at a reasonable rate, a weapon for shooting his disaffected subjects. Lilycrap, therefore, instead of being classed with Fieschi and Alibaud, will figure in the future Court calendars of France with the inventors of culverins, muskets, red het shot, shells, and other right loyal instruments of mob destruction. It is dis tressing to have to add that when Lilycrap's de votion to the Ic ng was made known to his Parisian Judges, inst,,,ad of recommending him to the Minister of War as a. formidable opponent of the Times' protege, Mr. Warner, they merely told him that the Government ceased to be at the charge of his lodging, boarding, and personal attendance. The addresses of the Council and Legislative As ' sembly of the United Provinces of Upper and Lower Canada, in answer to Lord Sydenham's speech from the Throne at the opening of the first session of the United Provincial Parliament, have reached us. As they are merely echoes of his Lordship's speech, which ap peared in The Sun, we shall not inflict such a mass of common-place repetitions upon the patience of our readers. Throughout the addresses the legislative bodies promise to perform all that Government deemed it pro per to ask them to do, either in relation to themselves or the mother country. They are angry about the deten tion of Mr. INPLeod by the Government of New York —eager for cheap postage--ready to promote public works—as willing to borrow money as Great Britain is to lend it, and, on the score of repaying interest, they beat England hollow in indif ference—have no objection to the diffusion of the blessings of reading and writing among good little boys and girls promise the necessary sup plies for the purposes of Government invite emigrants to settle among them—and, in a word, are as complying with the demands, recommendations, and sng gestions of the Noble Governor-General, as Sir Robert Peel promises to be to the Queen, if her Majesty will lonly trust her Royal counsels to the guidance of the To ries. New-born loyalty is always the hottest. From the Spanish capital we have news of the 13th, announcing that the Spanish Government is about to raise a fresh loan of sixty millions of reals at 6 per cent. We can hardly suppose that any capitalist out of Spain will be so dishonest or so foolish as to subscribe a single real of any loan henceforth tile. 'Spanish Governm en t.

The landlords who make the posses sion of land an instrument of oppression, will ere long be required to show by what right they hold it. The progress of foreign trade has made the agri culturist what he is (says the "Chronicle). It has added nearly seven -millions of acres to the land in cultivation, and it has largely enhanced the amount of produce from the same extent . of soil. One cannot imagine a more deplorable infatnation than that which has befallen the landed interest. But a short time ago, we had too much ChurcA according to that veracious journal, the Times. Now according to the same authority, we have not half enough, for "in the Church the life of the nation emphatically resides." The struggle of the late election, with its conse quent successes and defeats, form ample subjects •of in quiry for the Dublin Pilot. The effect of this struggle, it declares, has been to widen the breach between the two countries ; and the whole circumstances of the contest give a temper and determination to the Irish people to estrange themselves from their Tory oppressors. A subsequent article treats upon the " capability of Ire land for her own military defence"—to which it shows Ireland to be every way adequate. The Brighton Guardian, touching upon the leading topic of the day, the elections, it says, " Sir Robert Peel will not reduce the monopolists' taxes ; he takes office to maintain them. On the other hand he cannot reduce the State taxes ; on the contrary, the principles on which he has hitherto acted, will compel him to augment the expenditure. He must, therefore, either give way, sepa rating himself from the monopolists who have placed him in power, as he has heretofore done, or he will provoke so much popular resistance, and cause so much evil, that the community will be compelled to eject him and the whole tribe of monopolists from power.

The Earl of Macclesfield is dangerously ill, having had a stroke of the palsy. The Marquis of Lansdowne is still confined to his chamber at Liege, but is going on favourably. RUBTOITHS OP THE DAT. A doubt is expressed in several quarters whether Sir E. Sugden will accept the Irish Chancellorship under the Tory Administration. The little gentleman is waspish at not getting the English seals, and as they are hung beyond his reach, he looks for one of the English Equity Judgeships, which he would not allow the Whigs to create and fill up, and which the Tories will immediately establish. Being an Englishman, he dreads to see re vived against him the opposition which the Irish Tory bar got up to Lord Campbell, and, it is supposed, that Mr. Lefroy will be the Tory Lord Chancellor of Ireland. It is said that the Earl Fortescue is to be married to Lady Somerville on the 30th instant. It is probable that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, will give judgment in the great will cause in the first or second week of next month. Cannot the Learned Counsel on both sides contrive to get it a rehearing? Lord Stanley, it is said, is so determined to remain on good terms with Sir Robert Peel, that he reads hardly anything else than the Right Hon. Baronet's speeches, and labours most assiduously to forget all his own, de livered prior to the year 1839. The Tories speak with raptures of his humility, consequent on his new politi cal birth. The Tory Ministry is arranged. Sir Robert Peel is placed at the head of the list by the organs of the party, and th 3 Dul e of Wellingto n , though President of the Council, is placed at the bottom. Buckingham, as we surmised some time ago, goes to the Admiralty, but we regret to see no place mentioned for D'lsraeli. Lord Lyndhurst, as we also guessed, goes to Paris as her Majesty's Ambassador. The Galloway Steam Navigation Company is about to be dissolved to please the Wigtown Presbytery. One of their steam-boats which plied between Garliestown and Liverpool usually started on the Saturday, and was once driven back by stress of weather on the Sun day morning, which so scandalised Sir Andrew Agnew, that he and the Presbytery concocted a plot for blowing up the Company, and they will succeed. EX PRESS FROM PARIS The Moniteur of Tuesday (yesterday) published three royal ordinances, one placing General St. Michel, the military commander of Toulouse, on the half-pay list ; the other appoint ing General Rulhieres in his room; and a third superseding M. Plougoulm in the post of Attorney-General of Toulouse, and naming M. Nicias Galliard to succeed him. A telegraphic despatch of the 19th announces tLe arrival at Toulouse of M. Maurice Duval, the Extraordinary Commis sioner of the Government. The Royal Court had commenced proceedings against the authors of the late disturbances. The city continued tranquil. General Rulhieres left Paris for Toulouse on Monday evening. It was reported in Paris that the Government had ordered the disbanding of the National Guard of Toulouse. Accounts from Algiers of the 13th inst. state, that the Go vernor returned thither on the 10th. The Duke d'Aumale was then completely convalescent. The Toulonnais of the 16th inst. mentions that the squadron of Admiral Hugon was taking in provisions for four months, and that it would again put to sea about the 25th inst. The destination was unknown, The Augsburg Gazette, of the 7th inst., states that the failure of the firm of Geymuller continued to engross public at tention in Vienna; the amount of its engagements had not yet been ascertained. On the 10th the National Bank resolved not to take legal proceedings upon any of Geymuller's acceptances, discounted by them, and to give a reasonable time to the en dorsers to provide payment.

Madrid letters of the 13th give the following projects of law presented to the Cortes on the 7th:— One project is for the modification of duties on native produce, principally applicable to large towns, and for the relief of the poorer classes, by reducing one-half the duties on oil, wine, and other articles for general consumption. Another for the raising of sixty millions of reals at six per cent. per annum, to enable the Treasury to meet its most pressing necessities, and to facilitate its measures of retrenchment—to ascertain the amount of the floating debt—to adjourn to a fixed number of years the total payment of the old debt and of this new loan of sixty millions, by applying to their extinction the produce of the two reales, or of one of them, and consequently diminishing the monthly sum of twenty-one millions and more, employed for the inte rest thereof. Another project is as follows : " Art. 1. Shall be admitted to the capitalization stipulated in the decree of the Provisional Regency, on the 21st January, 1841, the bills or bonds of the Public Treasury, issued in pay ment of the half-yearly dividend of the foreign debt, due on the Ist Nov. 1836. " Art. 2. To the capital represented by the said bonds steal' be added interest at five per cent., from Nov. 1, 1836, to Dec, 31, 1840. (Signed) " P. SURRA Y RULL." Another project.—The law of April 17, 1838, has autho rised the Government to capitalize the interest of the foreign loans. The law of the 21st of June, 1840, has extended this authorization of capitalizing to the interest of the home conso lidated debt. DEATH OF SIR EDWARD MOSTYN, BART. —We have to record the death of the above worthy Baronet, who died at Talacre, the family seat, in Flintshire, on Sunday last, after a lengthened illness. The deceased, who was the seventh baronet, was born in 1785, married first, in 1808, Miss Blundell, daughter of Mr. Nicholas Blundell, of Crosby-hall, Lancashire, and secondly in 1826, third daughter of the late Mr. Henry Slaughter, of Furze-hall, Essex. In 1823, he suc ceeded his father. Was eustos brevium of the Court of Com mon Pleas, and was last year appointed Deputy-Lieutenant of Flintshire. He is succeeded by his eldest son by his first mar riage, now Sir Pyers Mostyn, Bart., born in [Bll. DEATH OF LADY EMMA WEMYSS.—The mournful intelligence of the demise of ker ladyship was received by the Earl of Erroll and other branches of the family.

Elliot, and sister to the present Earl and Lady Isabella Wemyss, bed-chamber woman to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, was born Jan. 29, 1809, and had consequently only attained he 32d year.

This day is also the anniversary of the death of our cele. brated poet Burns, in 1796. COLCHESTER.-RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF Ma. SANDERSON.—A report has been current, durirg the week, that an arrangement has been made with Mr. Sander son, to accept the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, in order to make room for Mr. Herries, the rejected of Ipswich. The rumour has obtained much credit, as Mr. Herries will be wanted in the new Tory administration ; and, of course, he will look out for a borough where there is not likely to be an opposition. We hope, however, the activity of the Reformers will show, should the report prove true, that Mr. Herries has repeated in this case, his Ipswich blunder—of reckoning with out his host.—lpstvick Evros.

It is laid down as a principle by Tory writers, and acted on by Tory statesmen, that it is proper and wise in the ruling classes, and, in fact, the great duty of a Tory Government, to resist the tendencies of society. This is not merely a theory, it guides the actions of Tory statesmen. For them it is enough to say that such is the tendency of society, to make them think that it is their duty to resist it. If this be a well founded theory, good may result from their ex ertions; but if the theory be erroneous, nothing but mischief of the worst character can be ex pected to ensue from the Government being placed in the hands Of men who, on this vita] question, act on a false assumption. It is of great present practical importance, therefore, to ascer tain, if we can, from the nature of society, what are its tendencies. Let us first observe that this notion of Govern ment is directly the reverse of that which in duced our ancestors to follow their leaders when they spread themselves over Britain from Ger many. The tendency of society then was for people to swarm off or migrate, and HENGIST and Housa, with the other chiefs, were the agents, not to control or resist this tendency, but to carry it out. At what period the Government changed its character, and became the antago nist of the popular desires and popular wants, it would now be too long to trace; but we believe it will be found to have been gradually assumed as a usurping aristocracy separated themselves from the people, came to dread the democracy, and framed the laws 'and the Constitution ex clusively for the preservation of their privileges. Next let .us notice that this Tory theory of Government is contradicted by ex • penence. The progress of society is towards civilization. It is t not es t than less the retrogrades not. The increase in wealth, in in skill, in humanity, knowledge, con spicuous since the Norman Con population. Ships, increase of the roads, canals commerce, with all the fine and use f ul arts, at test the progress of modern society. R ow can it be supposed, when such is the result, th at the tendencies of society are to evil We may say, too, that in every age thes:, .re sults have been obtained, less by means (%I . Go vernment than in spite of it. Our canv. , is and our commerce, our steam-engines and o, fr: ra il ways, are in no sense the direct product of royal or aristocratic will, or even of royr A l or aristocratic protection. In truth the '.n addle classes, by whom in the main these imr orovements have been achieved, grew into powe,r and wealth in spite of the 'ggverning aristocrr,,ey. For many years the Tory principle of op-posing the tendencies of so ciety prevailed iTA' the national councils, and in opposition to t',,is principle these results were ac complished.„ We have seen the Tory Govern ment su C:cessively obliged to give way to the Aentrir'cies of society towards humanity and tole ratir,n; It was compelled against its will to mitigate the penal code, and abolish the slave trade, and it was compelled to abolish the Test Act, and grant Catholic Emancipation. Thus experience contradicts the Tory theory; but in spite of experience the Tories still main tain that the tendencies of society are to evil, and that it is proper and wise in the Government to resist and oppose them. They act on this er roneous theory, and in -proportion as they are Powerful will be the mischief they will inflict on 'the community. We may, however, establish the fallacy of their theory, by looking at the nature of society. To state a trite fact, in order to begin at the be ginning, the human race has been created male and female. yrom their unio n s p r i ngs a family.

The experiments with percussion shells have been concluded for the present, and the result has been highly satisfactory. When similar experiments were made in France last year, not more than one shell in four ex ploded, while all those invented by Mr. Reece exploded under every circumstance. LAW AND POLICE. A poor clergyman, disappointed of money in town, was brought up yesterday at Marylebone, having been found lying asleep at night by the side of a hay-rick in a field at Hampstead. His story was -melancholy, and the worthy Magistrate kindly assisted him. A man of the name of Briggs, in St. Thomas's Hospital, tried to commit suicide with three strange im plements. viz., a broom, a poker, and a pepper-box. The three men charged with the murder of an old man named Cocker, at linaresborough, on the 18th of June, were convicted at York on Monday, and ordered for execution. The cause of murder appears quite in comprehensible. EZECTZONEERZNG. The Orangemen in Ireland aro marching about everywhere in bands, with tattered flags, drums, and, in some eases, fire-arms, On one occasion they lit a large bonfire, fired three volleys for the Pope, three for O'Connell, and three for the roof of Kilclief Chapel ; clearly demonstrating their intentions in the last instance, if allowed to carry them out.

I Thr de accounts received from Vienna state that, although the failure of Gey Muller had naturally produced a great sensation in that capital, it had no serious reaction on the price of the public funds. To the Company the Bank actions at Vienna closed five florins higher than they left off the previous day, on the day the failure was known. The report yesterday of two of the great London houses having suffered by the above failure, on inquiry, does not appear to be correct. The mischief which it has caused here is, we understand, not to any great extent. Accounts from the Hague of the 16th July, state that the Russian squadron which is at the Heider, is destined, it ap pears, to be laden with the funds Af the loth contracted at Am sterdam, on account of the Czar, by the house of Hope, and is to be transported to St. Petersburgh. It is remarked that for several months masses of gold and silver have been sent to the Helder, most part of which is in ingots, and are put on board the Russian ships of war. The Czar has recommended to Mr. Hope, &c. to use the greatest expedition in the reali zation of the funds, which has the appearance that the Russian Treasury is empty, as well as those of other powers.

It is not a little singula r that the UARTER Tory . prints accuse the Liberal party of attempts to excite apprehension in the minds of the public on account of the crops, with a view of getting up the averages, an admission at once on their part of the rottenness of the present system, when prices can be governed and guided to a certain point by the mere jobbing of specula tors, to the injury alike of the British farmer and the bona fide importer. To-day Foreign Wheat in bond is 2s. to 3s. higher, and English is very firm.
