HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. InAmine 48 rannutiab alter 8 I Evening minutes after O. is LONDON: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1841. The Tories are ly,:silyengaged in providing for the security of plunder and the destruction of liberty. They will not allow the people to have bread, and they are preparing to give them bayonets. Barracks, it appear; have been re cently- erected at Ashtoa and; Derby, or are about to be erected. The Horne-ofEce has also put Colonel W . Emysr, into eaiumunieation with the civic authorities at Thlton, in order to get a barrack built in that. town, ,or in its neigh bourbood. On Wednesday last a meeting of the inhabit ants of Bolton took place to consider the proposi tion of the Home-otlice and the Horse Guards to build a barrack there, if the inhabitants would find a site. T he meeting, th oug h composed . i exc lusively ot til°3e who pay the highest ra t es , declined the honour, and declared that th e y would rather trust the A Po tection of their property to their' townsmen th an to the military. They did not r hesitate to say t h at they thought the .object o, the Home -office and the Horse Guards was to make the starving people die quietly, and place the com mun i ty under a complete military despotism. The patriotic men of Bolton are deserving of great honour for resisting the insidious proposal of Si r JAMES GRAHAM, one of the leaders of the landed interest, and for revealing the designs of the Tories. We now see why Sir ROBERT PEEL wished to have so lung a period for deliberation, and what he is to execute after receiving the fitir trial Mr. WAKLEY advocated. We have already, more than once, suggested the suspension of the Corn-law, by order i n Council, as au instant remedy f or th e p u bl i c dis tress. Anything, however, so just, so honest, so simple, and yet so eilicacioug, is not to be ex pected from the Starvation Ministry, whose power and whose very boing depends on mysti fication, dishonesty, and injustice. A modifica tion of thiSSuggestiol is strongly urged on 11.3 by i a Correspondent, and has already been men tioned by other Jonrnals, buy it is worthy of being repeated. The distress at Paisley, Spital fields, &c., has been, or is to be, we hope, par tially relieved by charity. At the same time, the increase of the poor is great, and they must be fed by rate-payers, many of whom are on the verge of pauperism. Now, although we dare not hope from the starvationists that they should I give up their a d ored starvation law, it may perhaps not be too much to expect even from , them that they s h ould forego their tax on the rood which charity s "PPlies. (ur Correspondent ; ccordingly recommends the subscribers to the z< . „„,, i ,, 101 919113 '.4;' The Tories have found out a new..effect of the Corn-law, though we have been told, years ago, that nothing new could be said on.the subject. ''The law tempers prices,” it is said; probably as fire and water temper steel, and give it a keen edg-e to slay the opponents of those for whom it is tempered. The Corn-law, by tempering prices, slays the manufacturers. The only effect before ascribed to the Corn-law was, that it raised or lowered prices, or gave them stability„, or made them fluctuate. To temper them is a perfectly new effect, the discovery of which. must be ascribed, we are afraid, rather to the de sire to mystify the question than make it clear. Besides tempering price, the Corn-law is said to lower the price of food, and raise the scale of wages, which is the reverse`of the inten tion of those who made it. They designed it to raise and keep up the price of food. We know that the law bits not fully answered their intention on this pOirit. They calculated that it would keep the price of wheat up to 655. per quarter; it has only - .kept up that price to 565. If it have lowered the price of food, and raised the scale of wages—as the present condition of society, the Tories will probably say, testifies— it is only necessary probably to repeat the dose and make it stronger. Give us another Corn-law, and let the pivot be 80s., and the protecting duty then 253. It is impossible to have too much of such an admirable an invention as the law which lowers the price of food and raises the scale of wages. If the landlords have done this for the people, then, indeed are they Gods, and worthy of adoration. It is impossible to predict what may be the consequences of the threatened interference with • __ the internal administration of Spain by a Confer ence of European Powers sitting in London. With all its faults the Government of ESPAR TERO is more powerful and more respected at home than that of Louis PHILIPPE. No secret societies threaten its existence in the capital and while an army of 50,000 men are requisite to defend the person of the KING of the FRENCH from the bullets of assassins, the REGENT of SPA IN walks the streets of Madrid in perfect safety, un attended by a single soldier or National Guard. Nor has the :R.EGENT acquired his authority, neither does he maintain it, by being the tool of any faction in the State. The Exaltados of Bar celona find no more favour in his eyes than the Christinos at Pampeluna and Vittoria. HiS guide ' is the Constitution and the laws, which, while they secure the liberties of the people, uphold the dignity and maintain the just preroga ti,Ves of the Crown. From the accession of ESPA RTERO to the Regency, till the Christino in surrection, Spain was tranquil, and her Govern ment as firmly administered as that of any na= tion in Europe. Now the Christino insurrec- Lion was the wr•ork of France, and a handful of Spanish fugitives, having no hold on the loyalty or affection of that country. ESPARTERO but put forth his hand to grasp his sword, when the revolutionary faction vanished like smoke. In Barcelona the news of his approach put the Exaltadcs to flight, so that the Government is now without an internal enemy. Can this be said of France, with her numerous Secret Socie ties for hurling Louis PHILIPPE from the throne? But then France is too powerful to - admit of fo reign interference, while Spain, on the contrary, is weak. This is, in truth, the reason why the latter is selected as the fitting theatre for dis playing the power of the new Holy Al liance. But if the principle be once ad mitted that such interference is allowable in the internal administration of weak States, a combination cf the Powers can easily reduce any one nation to a level with such Go vernments as those of Portugal and Spain. What a combination of the Powers made France in 1815, a similar combination could make her in 1845. If, then, she sanction foreign interference in Spain, because French gold was capable of corrupting a Spanish garrison at Pampeluna, she may yet .have to justify to Europe her retention of a form of Government under which nothing flourishes but regicidal and revolutionary con- spiracles. Should a Congress, of the character indicated, assemble, we implore the Government of this country to have nothing at all to do with it. The honour and interests of England are bound up with the freedom of, and the right of; volun tary choice of institutions by the Spanish people. The people of Spain have, in the most unequi vocal manner, testified their attachment to the Constitution and the Regency of ESPARTERO and it is the duty of our Ministers, be they Whig or Tory, to do all in their power to maintain both as we now find them established. British To ryism can have nothing whatever to fear from the triumph of Liberalism in'Spain nor has any nation in Europe more to hope froth the conti nuance of friendly relations between Govern ments, than Great Britain has from an uninter rupted friendship with Spain. The l e t ter of the Provost of PAISLEY will be read with place painful inter e st. Th e di s t ress i n tha t cont to increase. From the returns referred to i n tl 6th of November letter, it appears that on'the with h the number out of employ ment, tog e th er those risen to 8,841, an d is now 9,701 ; thus increasingdependent on them, was 7,884; o n t h e 13th it had at the rate o f a b out 1,000 per week, and formincr according one fth part of the whole population, to th e l ast census 5. which, towns o f J ohnstone, las 48,1 distress of relie f p e r x e- - Kilbarchan, and Barrhead, similar • vails, without the slightest prospect cept from the hand of charity. Unfortunately, however, Paisley and Spitalfields are not the only places where the poor are dri ven to the last extremities. Every manufacturing town more or less suffers from the same cause. Men, ashamed to beg, are dying of want in the richest country of the world. Such a state of things cannot be allowed to continue. The rich must come forward liberally in every district, as they are now doing in London for the distressed weavers of Spitalfields. Let this example be imitated, and then the poor of the land will look fbrward to the dreary winter months without the dread of starvation. We rejoice to learn that the best feelings on the subject prevail in the City, and that the Spitalfields Committee have every prospect of support in their humane endeavours to relieve the sufferers. The Moniteur contains the following tele graphic despatch from Bayonne, with the latest intelligence from Spain : " Van Halen entered Barcelona on the 15th, His Mendicity Society, to the Paisley fund, and to other charitable societies, as well as the borne down rate-payers, to petition the QUEEN, and implore her benevolently to pass an Order in Council to allow foreign grain and provisions of all, kinds to be imported and taken out of bond for the use of the suffering poor without paying anS , duty. Her MAJESTY would cheerfully con sent to the prayer, and hasten to grant it, as soon AS its purport was known ; but her masters and our tyrants will frame a thousand objections to 'such a scheme, and will allege as an excuse for their sordid hard-heartedness that the plan would be impracticable, that others than the poor fed by charity--that the half-starved workman,would by these means obtain cheap bread, and they will prevent her MAJESTY from assenting to so reasonable a request. It would be of no use, we are afraid, to state that the un taxed food might only be issued to the respon sible officers of charitable associations, and of the Poor-law unions. The men who refused to allow foreign corn to be ground in bond, lbst a gain of the untaxed bread should pass into the stomaelmof the hungry labourers, who feed and elotheYselelty, are capable ofanything; and they will, nitl,3'Elikely,refuse even this little diMinit tion oCtge cruel wrong they inflict on their brethren: We mention the matter,' however, in obedience to our Correspondent's wish, and add that the only way to obtain even this trifle is for all the persons who subscribe to relieve dis tress also toitinititi petitioning that the provisions bs'.- • neeessary 42 1 40, the poor may be imported duty free. THE S it 2 fl T troops occupied all the p os t s without resistance. city and the province have been placed in a.s,tos: t . 4 4iege. The Regent was still at Sar agossa on th e , 14th. , " The members of the Radical Junta of Barcelona em barked on th e n i g ht of th e 13th, f or London, passing hY France. " The demolition of the citadel has been interrupted. " The Regent has published a, proclamation directed against the Exaltados." The fugitive Junta landed at Marseilles, but the French Government ordered them to re-embark for London', as by their abuse of France, they had rendered themselves unworthy of French hospitality. , The following is a copy of the Pro clamation of General Espartero, alluded to in the above telegraphic dispatch : " Spaniards—On the 18th inst. I addressed you with a soldier's feelings, and with the authority of the first Magistrate, charged -to watch over the happiness, pros perity, and liberties of Spain. I announced to you my departure from . the 'capital, with the view ,Qf stifling at the birth, a fatal and perfidious revelt, which threatened destruction to all. The patriotism of the army and national militia, and of every Spaniard worthy of that name, transformed my expedition, into a march of triumph. The designs of the ene mies of justice were frustrated by the loyalty and bravel, of patriots. Between' revolt and victory there were but a few short moments, and those who fancied to raise themselves on the ruins , of the nation fell first. Spain hailed with enthusiasm this triumphant day, and gave' herself up to the agreeable prospect 'of the consolida tion of a peace alwaya so, much desired, and now more than ever, when fresh sounds of discord burst upon her ears, announcing an attempt on the, laws and on the dig nity of the Government. Thus were our pleasing illu sions replaced by bitterness. " A handful of turbulent men, enemies of the public repose, allowed themselves to be carried away at Bar celona by a remarkable act of violence, rendered more odious still by the circumstances which accompanied it. In contempt of the laws, they destroyed a public monument, the property of the nation ; they abused the confidence which had placed in the hands of the national militia the guard of walls which have been destroyed by them ; they have despised the voice of mili tary authority which called for the disbanding of the mili tia; and, finally, they have furnished the scandalous sight of deciding by brutal force what was the peculiar attri bute and deliberation of the Cortes and of the Govern ment. The citadel of Barcelona threatened neither the property nor the liberty of the population of that indus trious town. Could suspicions be entertained of the pre sent Government, whose observance of the laws is their first rule of conduct ? Was not this fortress confided to the patriotism of the national militia ? Was it noble thus to profit by the absence of the brave soldiers who had gone to shed their blood against the enemies of the country ? Spaniards, this act was accompanied and foil - owed by other acts of violence in which a Junta, calling itself One of safety and vigilance, constituted itself master of property, and created itself as an arbiter of the destinies of a whole province, and usurped the functions of the powers of the State, at the very moment when the Government was watch -with the greatest solicitud e , over th e o b servance of the laws.' These events have been heard of through out Spain with disapprobation. The Regent would be wanting in duty to the nation and to justice if he left unpunished violations of the laws, and if the princi pal and guilty instigators were encouraged to commit fresh excesses. Have confidence, Spaniards, in the jus tise which animates a Government cemented by the laws. The arm, always raised for the defence of the Consti tution and of public liberties ' well knows how to re press all the excesses pr o d uce d by the abuse of that same liberty. (Signed) " THE DUKE OF VICTORY. (Countersigned) EVAOST SAN MIGUEL. " Saragossa, Nov. 9, 1841." The Report of the Peers on the treason of QUENISSET and his accomplices is the subject of fierce contentions in the columns of the Paris Press. The Opposition Papers laugh at the Re port, while the Ministerial Journals are moving heaven and earth to prove that it does not in the least exaggerate the danger that threatens France. Hear what the Court organ, the Presse, says upon the subject :- 4. It is pretended that the smallness of the number of the adepts of these under-ground sects and associations ought to prevent our feeling alarm. The Report, it is said, mentions only about sixty of them, and there are not 1,200 to be found in all Paris. Persons who talk in this way may, if they please, console themselves with the reflection that there are not 1,200 political assassins in Paris. But unfortunately the disclosures of the Report have but raised up a corner of the veil which conceals the extent and projects of secret societies. Is it to be supposed that this plot, which is fostered by the Communist and Radical publications, this permanent plot, which has its seat in the bosom of secret societies, had its only or its principal establishment in the public-house of Colom bier ? Is it not evident that the conspiracy now before the Court of Peers is but a fraction, and that a very small one, of a more general conspiracy ? Is it not evi dent that there are ramifications established between these various subversive associations ? The anti-social propaganda, which is revealed to us by the present pro secution is not confined to an obscure corner of one of our faubourgs. There were only 60 persons at the meet )ings of which we hear, and there were not 60, perhaps, surrounding Quenisset on the 13th September ; but how Many were there on the 12th May? Were not the same associations at work on the 12th May ? was not the same anti-social object aimed at ? and were there not the same oaths, and perhaps the same secret chiefs ? If the ' Report of M. de Bastard does not expose the whole of: the odious truth, it shows, at least, plainly and clearly, the intimate connection of the parties engaged in the attempt of the 13th September with those who were con cerned in all the preceding attempts." Does the Court really want the heads of a few • of the poor wretches now before the Peers ? It really looks like it; but suppose we admit the statement of the Presse to be true, can a greater libel be written upon the ORLEANS dynasty ? Of what use, then, are the September laws, and the laws against Secret Societies? What has France gained by the Revolution of July if such be her present social condition ? If the Peers have only lifted a corner of the veil that covers the moral gangrene that pervades the social system of France, the much-talked of London Conference of the Great Powers will find more to occupy their attention in France than in Spain. In recog nising the mischievous principle of interfering with the internal administration of other States, France has authorised the other Great Powers to draw round her that cordon sanitaire with which Louis PHILIPPE is so eager to encircle less guilty and disorderly Spain. At about four o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, as the King was returning from Versailles to Paris, a stone was thrown at his carriage by an individual standing on the side of the road. The miscreant guilty of the at tempt effected his escape and could not be overtaken. A Constantinople correspondent writes:—" A rene gado, named here Mahmoud Effendi, who was physician to the late Sultan, died recently, without his real name and family having been positively known. It is now said that his real name was Fromann, and that he was a na tive of Coburg. In 1809 he was a surgeon-major in the Austrian army, and in 1815 was involved in a plot for carrying off the Duke de lteichstadt ; but, being disco vered, fled to Constantinople, and there became a Maho metan, and physician to the Sultan. The Turkish Go vernment, in violation of his will, by which he bequeathed his large property to a young Greek, called Youssouf Effendi, has seized , the whole to itself • declaring the le gatee to be a Giaour,,or infidel, and therefore incapable of inheriting. He has made a petition to the Sultan, but can have no hopes of its being available." The fire at the Chateau de Barante, in Auvergne, which we have mentioned, consumed one entire wing, but was stopped before it reached the main building. The loss is estimated at from 30,000 fr. to 40,000 fr. The part destroyed was the richest part of the chateau, and some family portraits, with other valuable pictures, are said to have been lost. The assassin COllot, who was condemned to death by the Court of Assizes at Lyons for the murder of his uncle some time ago, was executed on the 16th instant at Lyons. When the rejection of his petition for pardon and the warrant for his execution were brought to him, he was awakened from a profound sleep, into which he fell again as soon as the reading vas finished. He pre.; served the same coolness till the last moment. A melancholy accident took place at three o'clock yes terday morning, at the Hotel de l'Earope, in the Rue do •Rivoli. Mr. Charteris, who was residing there with his family, set fire during the night to his clothes and other articles in his room, and then precipitated himself from - the window, which was on the third storey. The unfor tunate gentleman in the fall broke both legs and frac turad his skull; he was picked up in a state of perfect in sensibility, but notwithstanding the assistance of 1)r. :Benin and Dr. Higgins, who were immediately called in, was too seriously injured to survive, and died in two hours. A man named Glemee was executed at Rennes, a few days since, for the murder of his wife. His behaviour was suitable to his position; he received the spiritual su,:- cours of the chaplain with resignation, and admitted the justice of his sentence. On the scaffold, the executioner, contrary to the usual practice, had placed the coffin in tended for hi s b o d y c l ose b y t h e f ata l p l an k, an d t h e cri minal on b e h o ldi ng i t was o b serve d to s h u dd er v i o l ent l y; in other respects lie conducted himself with firmness. An immense crowd was assembled on the occasion. The P re f ect of the Dordogne has adopted a system, which, if general, would be invaluable to the historian. He h as °paned a rem ster, in which is to be inscribed, with due aut h entications, a summary stat e ment of every remarkabl e event that occurs within his department, such as the erections and demolitions of public or private buildings of i nterest—important occurrences—storms — epidemic diseases-LActs doing honour to individuals and families —in short, every event and circumstance whit& may furnish historical materials for posterity. Among the numerous visitors who have waited •on Lord Cowley sincehis arrival has been a deputation from the "Dames de la Halle," who came to offer his Excel lency an enormous bouquet, with the congratulations of the "illustrious" body they represented. His Lordship received his "fair" visitors with the utmost good nature, and acknowledged their civility by a handsome gratuity. The ladies, on coming down stairs, strongly pressed the DAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1841. ON, U . , —porter of Meurices — Hotel to accompany - them to the nearotwine-shoplandidrink hi s L or d s hip' s health. A farmer of, Chapelle, ('Ruin, in the Doubs, having some days rgo e .lert a field a quantity of vitriolated torn' hen' tended for Sowing, his daughter found it, and knowingnot the preparati on it h a d un d er gone, gave it to a pig she had the care of. The animal, after eating it, became so much out orcandition that the farmer de termined to sell it before it was too ififieh reduced. An inhabitant of the place bought and killed it, and 17 per sons who partook of the pork were attacked with violent cholics. Some became so ill that, believing they were about to die, they had the last sacrament administered to them, but fortunately all recovered.. it was remarked that those who partook of the black puddings made with the blood were those who suffered the most severely. A marriage, as we learn from the Memorial de I'au, is about to be celebrated in that town between'Baron Oscar Bernadotte, nepheW`of the Sweden, and Mlle. de Navailles, a descendant • friiiiiWiih - of the Barons who accompanied the Beanies° Vi4eounts in the Crusades, and who afterwards formed arralliance with the princely house of Albret. and the chief temple of the hated worship is the House of Parlihinent.: Had the Legislature taken as much painS'ici'hOMiur'*irtlie and protect in dustry, as it littS'takeii - tO swell the rent-rolls of the landlordS and hidrease the income of the priesthood, Mammon Would not be worshipped as at present; nor would idleness revel in luxuries while industry is starved into discontent and re bellion.

The expenditure is estimated at 10,984 contos of rein, or about 2,526,3201. sterling, the ordinary income falling short of that sum by about 652 contos of reis, or 149,960/. sterling. The most interesting item in the budget to an English reader is the sum of 247,250/. sterling for paying the dividend upon the foreign debt.

The Peers declare " that it results from the examina tions which have been taken that an attempt has been made upon the lives of the Dukes of Orleans, Nemours, and Aumale ; that a plot was formed either to destroy or change the Government, or to excite civil war by arming or inducing the citizens to arm themselves one against another, or by exciting the citizens and inhabi tants to arm themselves against the Royal authority ; that these crimes are connected, and that, by reason either of the part taken therein by illicit associations, of the nature of the means prepared for the attack, or, in fine, from the publicly avowed object of changing the Constitution of the State, and even the organization of society, by violence and civil war, these acts present the highest degree of criminality, so as to determine the Court to take cognizance of them."—The Court of Peers attaches an importance to the Report of its Committee, which we are very far from doing. The day for the commencement of the trial is not yet.fixed. We find the following in the France of Friday— . "It is said that soon after the opening of the next Ses sion, a proposition will b e ma d e f or augment i ng t h e number of Deputies, which is now only 459, to. 500. The ground of this proposition is said to be, that in the States-Gen4ral of the lath and 17th centuries, when France was neither So extensive nor so populous as it is now, the number of representatives was comparatively much greater. In 1560, it was 393; in 1576, 326 ; in 1588, 305 ; in 1614, 446." France has already plenty of Deputies, and England has too many. It is not more Deputies, but more electors that are wanted. France wants an extension of the electoral franchise, not an increase in the number of her Representatives. The fault of modern Legislative As semblies is that they are too numerous for proper busi ness purpose;, and that they do not represent the people. Reports have been spread by several papers, within the last few• days, that' a misunderstanding exists between some . of the members of the Administration, and that several changes in the Ministry are likely to take place in consequence. On this subject the Arationa/ states that a serious discussion has arisen in the Council of Ministers between Marshal Soult , and M. Humann. " The latter," it adds, " demanded that a considerable reduction should be made in the budget of the war department, to which Marshal Soult replied by declaring that he would not consent to it. Resignations, it is said, were offered on both sides; and the rumour is cir culated that the Cabinet is at the present moment com pletely dislocated." This is confirmed by the Constitu tionnel, which says that the discussion alluded to occurred at a recent Council, and that M. Humann succeeded in getting his views as to a reduction of the war budget adopted by a majority of his colleagues. The following extraordinary account of a murder and the arrest of the murderers, is from a French provincial paper. In a new edition of " God's Revenge against Murder," it would be worthy of a particular place : " A travelling dealer in porcelain and glass was' some days ago driving his cart towards a small town near Lorient, when a little boy, going the same way, asked him for a ride. Nogues, the dealer, kindly put the boy into the basket swung under the cart, as being warmer than the cart itself. They had not gone far before two footpads stopped the cart, mur dered and robbed its owner, and then, to disguise the act, drove the cart ever the body, in order to induce a belief that the death was accidental. During this ter rible scene the boy lay concealed in the basket ; but, as soon as he conceived the robbers were at a sufficient dis tance, he contrived to set the horse off at full speed, re maining in his hiding-place, till the horse stopped at the door of a country inn, frequented by its master. The poor boy went into the house, and was telling his, hor rible tale, when, among his audito rs , h e p erce i ve d an d denounced two robbers, who had disguised themseNes in the uniform of gendarmes, but were afterwards recog nised as convicts who had effected their escape. They were immediately arrested." General Van Haien entered Barcelona on the 15th inst. On the 13th the Radical Junta had made their escape through France to London. The Journal de la Vendee states :—" On the sth inst. a ball of lirt*of dazzling brightness, passed through the air with great swiftness in the environs of Bourbon Vendee, and at the same mome n t an aero lit e fell iii a field where some labourers Were at work, making.a consi derable indenturein the giiet!ttiff. The stone.; on being taken up was found to weigh bet Ween 10lb. and 121b5., and to resemble a calcined stone, composed' of iron, sul phur, and Jailer." , The St.. Petersburgh Gazette states, that 700 houses in the town of Orel have been recently burnt down. The local depot of archives was greatly injured. What the injured archives of Orel consist of, we really have no idea. Most likely the books of the collectors of customs. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald, alluding to the, late fire at Wool wich, observes :—" That wisdom is the most useless, the most costly, and the most tardy which, ' when the steed is stolen shuts the stable door.' Doubtless, we shall now hear of engines of such enormous power at our dock yards, that they could cool the blazing fury of Etna and calm the perennial irritability of Vesuvius—if volcanoes would only be content to wait for the arrival of a battery of Bristow's or of Hadley's most improved patents. But—how had they managed these things at Woolwich, up to the actual outbreak of this fire ? Let us see. Inspector Robinson, who was on duty at the dock yard, mustered his men, and proceeded, in company with a detachment of the 15th foot, to the spot, taking one of the small dockyard engines along with him. Unfortunately the engine was in such bad repair that it broke down upon the road.' So that in the dockyard of Woolwich, wherein, of all the dockyards in her Majesty's dominions, it might have been naturally anticipated that there would have been the most ample supply of fire engines, buckets, hose, and all their equipments—and, amidst the multitude of artificers constantly employed there, the most ready means of repairing and renewing them whenever they had become, deteriorated, or unser viceable—the very first engine which is brought out at so alarming an emergency tumbles to pieces from neg lect and decay before it can be brought to the scene of the conflagration ! ! " The Times insists as follows, on the ekpediency of cancelling Captain Elliot's appointment to the Consul ship at Texas:—" The nomination of Captain Elliot to the Consulship at Texas, after the flagrant proofs of in capacity and mismanagement which he has left behind him in China, cannot be permitted to remain uncan celled without doing injury to a variety of interests which her Majesty's Ministers are especially bound to protect. Whether it be in contemplation to dispense with the further services of this notable employe, we can not of course conjecture; hut as no intimation to that effect has yet transpired, the presumption is, that the Government may be somewhat reluctant to exert their dutiful interposition, for fear of appearing to act dis courteously towards an appointment made by their pre decessors. Now, really, if there be any faltering in this particular, we must enter our protest against it in the strongest possible form."—There is no question that this obnoxious appointment ought to be cancelled, andlwith out delay, too, for Captain Elliot has had an,ampletrial as a public servant, and has shown, net but what he cannot do, in that capacity. The Chronicle observes, with reference to Mr. Warren's recent appointment to the Queen's Sergeantship, which has created such dissatisfaction amonc , the Dublin ,Orangemen:--" This is the melancholy and ignominious result. 4f. Lord De Grey's first timid experiment of jus tice. .Ile has sent for Mr. West, humbled himself betbre him, and, what was of much inure consequence in Mr. West's eyes, promised to repair his recent oversight. All that 'is positively known is, that Mr. West, who is not a man to be contented with mere apologies and civilities, left his Lordship highly pleased. The rumour is, that Sergeant Greene is to be coaxed into giving up soav e office, for which he is said to be fit, and that the office so vacated is to be given to Mr. West. It is said to be further understood, that there is to be no more of this nonsense in future ; that impartiality is a very fine thing to talk about, but an absurdity in practice, and that the proper way of practising it is that which is to be adopted in future—merely selecting men for office on ac count of their party services, and swearing through thick and thin that they are the most competent and mo derate men in Ireland." —We never placed much faith in the Irish Government's professions of moderation and impartiality, and the result has fully justified our dis trust. Toryism will take special care to vindicate its old supremacy in Ireland ; and, in the present Lord Lieu tenant and Secretary, seems to have found very apt and willing agents. The Cumbrian thus speaks of the present state of the country :—" Certainly at no period within our remem brance was the distress of the manufacturing, mining, and agricultural population of this country more severe, o r apparently irremediable than at present. Whilst on every hand we hear complaints of reduced wages, want of work, and dilapidation of capital, no where do we hear any prophet bold enough to predict that things are on the turn, or that any avenue opens up towards future prosperity. The vista is gloomy to the end." The Bolton Free _Press comments in the following terms on the proposed Government emigration scheme ; As a stroke of policy, the rumoured scheme is wor thy of its alleged originators. It is a tub to the whale, and something more. It will afford a way of escape to pining thousands, who will eagerly embrace the sad al ternative of leaving their native land ; while it will tend to relieve, for a time, the intense and deadly competi tion among our operatives, who remain behind. But why have recourse to this . expensive, and to its miserable objects, at best, painful mode of relief ? How much easier would it be to bring the food to the people, than to take the people to the food?"

CONVICTION OF SIR EDWARD KNATHBULL FOR EVADING A Tom..—On Sir Edward Knatchbull accepting office, last September, in Sir R. Peel's Ministry, a new election of course took place for the county of Kent. A Monday was the day appointed for the nomination, and Sir Edward Knatchbull, who lived twenty miles from Bar , ham Downs, where the election was to take place, left his home on Saturday in order to arrive in time on Monday, and avoid travelling on Sunday. The Right Honourable Baronet considered this travelling for the pur pose of an election, and on that account he re fused to pay the tolls. For refusing at a gate near Canterbury, he was summoned before the Ma gistrates of that city yesterday. The Court was crowded to hear the case,Counsel attended on both sides, and, after a patient investigation, the Ma gistrates deeided that Sir Edward bad unlaw fully claimed -the exeMption, and fined him in the sum of V. 25,, and Bs. 61 costs. The Right Hon. Baronet announced his determination to appeal from the conviction. The question in volved is of coati erable importance to trus tees of turnpike roads, and persons hav ing business at elections. It will tend to mulct the former, if all the electors of a county may leave their homes on - a Saturday to attend a Monday's election, and be a great con venience to many freeholders. The point seems to be doubtful, and the rights of the freeholders, which are involved, have probably- made the Right Hon. -Baronet-submit to the unpleasant charge of evading' a . toll. BULLETS INSTEAD Or BREAD.—A meeting has lie 0 held for the purpose of -taking into consi deration a communication from the Home-office, in regard to the erection of a new barrack in Bolton. Circulars of invitation were addressed to about eighty,of the largest holders of property and ratepayers in theborough,the majority in the list— which will be found in our advertising columns— being Conservatives. Many of the gentlemen who attended the meeting expressed themselves in the most decided terms against the suspicious and unseasonable proposal, and a strong negative re solution, accordingly, was passed, with only two dissentients. We understand that a similar corn ' munication has also been forwarded to the autho rities of Carlisle, and, we believe, to those of other manufacturing towns; so that we are justi fied in regarding this anticipatory demonstration of military force as a portion of the policy of the new Cabinet. —Bolton Free Press. "A Reformed Political Economist," who writes in a publication called the Budget, states that " England, by opening the markets of her widely expanded empire to' the industry of Belgium, would.confer upon Belgium a far greater benefit than that which Belgium, by opening her markets to British industry, would confer on England. The same holds good with respect to France. France would derive greater advan tage from a free trade with the British empire Clan England would derive frOm a free trade with France; while, on the othOrThand; the ex clusion of the productions ofi - France from all British ports would inflict upon Prance a greater injury than that which would be inflicted upon England by the exclusion of -her productions from the ports of France." This gentleman is refbrmed to a strange purpose, if he were ever imbued with the principles of economy. All trade being barter, England, including her co lonies, would be as much benefited by opening her trade as eitherßelgium or France. Neither of these would buy more than - we should sell, and neither would sell one yard of cloth or bottle of wine more than we should buy. In all bar gains voluntarily made the buyers and sellers are mutually benefited, to the exact same ex , , .... tent; and trade between nations, being nothing but a buying and selling between indi viduals, is exactly the same. By open ing, or by establishing, or extending any trade, the two parties to it, whether they dwell under the same or under different Governments, are equally benefited by it, otherwise they would not engage in it, and would not carry it on ; and the " Reformed Political - .§c2unist," who is very properly quoted by the 40 Wy, proves that he has retormed ninerinA - 941. - thorough a n d complete ignorance of't, ii ) annihilated for e ver .

It speaks o f M ammon worship as a pas sion as intense and a b sor bi ng as gaming. If these sentiments be not assumed by our Contemporary in order to enact some part, why does he not carry them out to their just conclusion, and join us in denouncing that embodiment of this terri ble passion into a Corn-law, and in denouncing the sanction and encouragement it continually receives from the Legislature. The pursuit of wealth by indi v id ua l s i s not repre h ens ibl e , and ild sittriesngonkened by their encouragement, thatit when. it is urged forward by laws, a becomes mischievous. 'We deplore, in common with our Contempo rary , th e i n numerable private frauds that rende r a ll property i nsecu re ; but are they anything more than an offset of that grea t er 'fraud, the Corn-law, which is ordained by the Legislature 1 We reoyet and lament the love of filching whi c h occupies our peop l e; but what is it more than an imitation of that same love in the clergy, which is consecrated by Acts of Par liament, and enforced by the Courts, both eccle siastical and civil? Every man - of discernment must deplore the worship of Matnmon by the people, but that worship is consecrated and ho. floured by every Act of Parliament. To increase the influence of property, to g ive it alone politi cal power, to brand poverty as a crime, and keep down the poor, 1 Aowevervirtuous and lion est- 7 -are, and long have been, the great objects of the law, • tighten it. The process will go on until the farmer feels the pinch. The rents, even at their reduced amount, cannot be paid, when the rate becomes enormous. If things should come to this, never will the wicked be more thoroughly and more speedily punished. It may be too late then to talk of the Sliding Scale, or of any scale. Hunger will demand the total and unqualified repeal of the Corn-laws." The following is from the Leeds Times :—" People nre perishing of hunger ; deaths from starvation' are in cre4s4,lg.in ,frequency. The demand for bread every day becomes louder and more menacing. Every week the pressure on the means of subsistence is increasing. Whatever the lawmakers may supp o se, this state of thinga . cannot last. The people must be fed ;if they are deprived of the means of earning their bread by their own honest labour, they will assuredly, sooner or later, attempt to wring a sufficiency for themselves by some other means ; and who knows what will content them in the hour of desperation and revenge ?" MONEY—TRADE—COMVIERCE. The distress of the Spitalfields weavers and the poor of the metropolis, will be considered at a meeting to be held at the London Tavern, on Friday next. At Bradford spinners do not work after dark, and prices do not decline. At Bolton prospects are more cheering. The trade of Holmfirth gets worse, and the number of unemployed increases. At Leicester the de mand for goods is slacker, but prices remain the same. At Manchester the cloth-market has greatly declined, prices are fearfully low, and the gloom increases. At Middleton not one-half of the silk-weavers and dyers are at work, and, indeed, in every, direction twenty miles ' round Manchester, distress and starvation prevails. At Rochdale • this last week a manufacturer has as signed over his effects for the benefit of his creditorS ; his engagements it is supposed will amount' to a few+ thousand pounds. COMMLIZCIIIL IZMFORINT. At the meeting of the Anti-Corn law Delegates, held in Manchester on Wednesday last, a proposal was made for preparing a complete statistical survey of the inju rious effects of the Corn-laws on morality, health, and the various branches of industry. Committees were proposed to be formed in every district in the kingdom, and each branch was to be under the control of those best fitted to conduct the inquiries —viz., the religious bearings under the cognizance of the clergy and dissent ing ministers ; the medical line by the members of that profession ; and an united committee of masters ar.d workmen, to collect materials as to food and wages. It received the unanimous sanction of the meeting. ECCLESIASTICAL. On the 31st ult. the three hundredth anniversary of the festival of the Reformation was celebrated at Witten burg. The inhabitants on the occasion formed a proces sion, and walked to the statue of the great Reformer, where they sang their hymns. PINE ARTS. Chantrey's monument to the Bishop Ryder, was erected last week in Lichfield Cathedral. As a work of art it is much admired. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. At a meeting of the Asiatic Society held on Saturday, a paper which was read, related the advance of the British into the Ghaut country. It appears that in the Orissa region the people were in the habit of propitiating the Earth-god, with considerable human sacrifices, and in a valley not two miles in length, the bodies of no less than seven victims were found. Children are preferred for the sacrifice, and slaughtered by the Priest or Pa triarch of the village, who cleaves their sculls with an axe. THEATRICAL. Mrs. Alfred Shaw has been singing. at Trieste, with the greatest success. Her career in Italy for these two years past has been one of great brilliancy. SPORTING. In Norfolk the destruction of game has been enor mous during the last fortnight. At Holkham, Colonel Anson and Lord Coke killed, in the same day, each 104 head of game, the entire slaughter of the party being upwards of 500 head ! At Witchingham 220 pheasants were killed in one day. At Felbry 216 and 236 phea sants on two succeeding days. The flight of woodcocks is also said to be very large. 36LECTIONEER.ING. Lord Viscount Bernard has come forward, on the Conservative side, for Bandon, vacant by the resignation of Sergeant Jackson, who has been appointed Solicitor- General. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The steam-ship Acadia, for Halifax and Boston, with the mails, left the Mersey on Friday, at noon, with fifty passengers. Lieut.-General Sir Edward Blakeney, K.C.8., having proceeded to England, is succeeded temporarily in the command of the troops at Dublin, by Major-General L'Estrange, whose own command i n th e sout h ern di s t r i c t is taken by Colonel Turner.

" D. DAVIES, M.D. " Sudbury Hall, Nov. 21, 1841." DISTRESS IN PAISLEY. TO 7'HE EDITOR OF' THE SUN. with this you will receive a state. ment of the number of persons depending on public charity for existence in the town of Pais ley, and other places in the Upper Ward of Renfrewshire, amounting to 10,670. The allowance given by the Local Relief Committees averages in amount from lid. to lid. per day, for each individual, and in provisions only. Many families, notwith standing the inclemency of the season, are without fire frequently for two days at a time. Hundreds, if not thousands, have sold or pawned every article of their bed or body clothes, except what they appear with on the street, to keep themselves in life; and such is the desire of a greater portion of the population to main tain themselves independently by their own ex ertions, that many have to be offered relief by their neighbours; and some have been found on the point of death from want, who declined to apply for public aid. In : reference to some statements which have appeared in the public papers regarding the un willingness of the weavers in this neighbo ur h o od to accept work at a low rate, it may be proper to state that a Committee has commenced this week to give out webs in the way of relief, at which an expert workman will not earn more than five shillings per week. From this they have to deduct rent, light, and other expenses — yet yesterday and to-day the demand for these webs has been so great, that crowds of people have been in waiting, eager to obtain them.
