But it is not right —nay, it is manifestly wrong—to coerce and punish the people because they are not models of pat i ence un d er t h e grea t es t pri vations—we think wan to n ly i n flicted—the want of food, shelt er , an d warmt h , w hich m e n a r e ever liable to su ff er. Before t h e m iddl e c l asses condemn so loudly the violence of the lower classes, which, after all, has been little more than violent speaking, they should compel the lawmakers to be just and considerate. They neglect this duty, and hence much of that mutual mistrust and enmity which cannot con tinue without great mutual injury. We refer with satisfaction to a report, which we have borrowed from the Leeds Times, of an Anti-Corn-law meeting at Huddersfield, of which one peculiar and most delightful feature was the presence of a number of ladies. We are by no means desirous of' dragging the fair sex into the arena of politics. Nothing is more hateful than a man drunk with party rage, except a wo man similarly intoxicated. But the Corn-law is neither a party nor a political question. It is a question of right and wrong, of honesty and theft, of health and disease, of smiling homes and destitution, of life and death; and it calls on all the mothers, wives, and sisters of the empire to understand it, and to struggle for Corn law repeal. Mothers submit to numerous priva tions, and make prodigious exertions, to procurd bread for their children, and rear them up in ho nesty and virtue. But by one struggle they may procure the repeal of the Bread-tax, ensure food r'or their offspring on easy terms, and remove far off the terrible temptations to which want exposes them. We see no impropriety, then, but much virtue, in women taking a part in this great que.:- ,zion. We have witnessed ladies crowding the rooms work: Exeter Hall, cheering to his noble the •nissionary of African freedom; we have seen them less honourably, but still enthusiastically, ,ngaged in applauding some party clergyman, whose labours were directed neither by charity tor love ; and we trust we shall yet see them .rowding to public meetings to cheer and en tourage the missionaries of free trade, who labour o substitute the dominion of nature for that of tvaricious man, and to rescue the people of Eng and from poverty, disease, and famine. The natrons of Rome were wont, in times of civil ontentions, to throw themselves between the :onflicting parties, and bid them in the name of country to be at peace ; and the matrons of 3ritain, not less heroic than those of Rome, will step between the bread-taxers and the starving -nultitude, and command the sordid tyrants to •et the people work, and let them live. The women of Huddersfield and Darlaston have set is excellent example, which, we hope, will be :Mowed by their sex in every part of the em lire. Age and infancy —men in the prime >f life, but pining for want of work, and .dint for want of food youth panting for he meaps of exertion in some honourable Areer—all classes and conditions feeling ham oered, uneasy, restrained, poverty-stricken, or worse, struck with famine—all pathetically in lore the matrons of Britain to come to their ielp, and soften by their supplications the hearts )f the most obdurate men that ever were suffered, for some inscrutable purpose of Providence, to torture and devastate a great nation. Besides the presence of a numerous body )f ladies, the meeting was distinguished by ome bold and excellent speaking. We lave preserved the pith and marrow of it, lot in the hope, however, of shaming the 'tocussed and paralysed people of London into my corresponding exertions. They are con ented to remain the last and the least efficient in his good work. They are like the dead, whom it s impossible to awaken; but there are others in the wore distant parts of the empire who will kindle It the eloquence at Huddersfield, and spread the venial flame through the land. Let the people verywhere do as was done at this meeting, unite ~he graces with the duties, and all who would ppose the cause of justice—the angry Chartist, he fearful and surly landowner, will be charmed into submission arid harmony. If the matrons c m be induced to take up the cause of the bread 'axed poor, victory will be certain. Though we do not agree with Lord MAIION as the propriety of keeping up the system of transportation, we are glad to see the question if secondary punishments again engaging the attention of Parliament. All other laws—the laws as to property and person, and the whole of the constitutional law, depend on the criminal law to enforce obedience to them. Hence, though the criminal law has been carelessly or foolishly given up to the administration of unlearned squires, and was sometimes framed on the repre sentations of " topping attorneys" or " great brewers," more anxious to protect property than acquainted with the principles of either law or justice, for the sake of all other law it is requisite that the criminal law be pre served in harmony with the feelings and convic tions of the people. To suffer it to fall behind the humanity or knowledge of the age, is to provoke contempt for all law, and expose society to gi eat danger. It is incumbent, there tore, on the Legislature, not only to revive those statutes which with complete indifference deal out death, as if a decree of the Legislature could alter the nature of crimes, but those secondary punishments which affront and exasperate with out checking the offences they are appropriated to punish. We are aware of the immense difficulties by which this subject is surrounded. Little or no progress has been made since the days of PALEY, notwithstanding the employment of much tor ture-devising talent, in finding out a secondary punishment, from the effects of which the crimi nal does not again come into society more har dened and desperate. Medicine has made far :wore progress than legislation. Many of the physical diseases which baffled our ancestors readily yield to modern skill ; but the moral diseases, if they have not increased, remain, as in the olden time, the opprobrium oflegislative skill. We look fur much good from this (may we not call it almost continual ?) failure in criminal legislation. It ought to teach —and we have no doubt it will teach— both those who make, and those who sub mit to law, a wholesome distrust of the mighty promises which have been made in the name of legislation. When it is clearly ascertained that the punishments hitherto employed have little or no effect in preventing crimes, to whichsend they seem admirably adapted, it may be expected that less reliance than now will be placed on regula tions to obtain those more recondite and distant objects, the increase of national wealth or the prosperity of a society yet unborn. To take the single secondary punishment of transportation. More, we think, has been ex pected of it than of any other, and the result has been a greater thsappointment. It is not merely that it has faile d as a p unish ment, but its effects, w h en carried out, have become so extremely revolting,and compelled the aut h or i t i es, how ever un willing, partly to give it up and partly t hat they have sh oc k e d a ll h uman feeling,to try new regulations. T o tran sportation as a punishment we entertain t hesame Man cannot the n o hnu e : employing existipa leo humblest and most useful t ul hg labour as a l without labour, and there is mu ch more wisdom in the Chinese custom of the Monarch holding th e pl oug h to confer h a o n a o.nioulur on custom of making it a punish ment for crime . In like m anner, it has b een almost at all p eri od s necessary for men to emigrat e. They are attach ed to their y leave it un w illi ng l y ; b u t of the means by which, in all ages, mankind have been spread over the countryem globe, igratai on :l a and ts Ito:a:1c always, therefore, been con se sonant to the order of nature. At the present time, crowded as our people are, it is essential to the welfare of the whole that no inconsider able number should continually expatriate them selves. On this account we hold it to be ex tremely unwise to make expatriation more pain ful by degrading it into a punishment of crime. Transportation cannot serve as an example, for the criminal is immediately removed from view, . unless the example is to be enforced at Van Diemen's Land or New Holland. Besides the failure, then, of this and other secondary punish ments,,such as hard labour and solitary confine ment, which have rarely reformed criminals, and have not prevented crimes, they have some collateral evil effects, such as making expatriation more painful, and labour disgraceful, which seem to have escaped the notice of legislators, and which ought neverthqless to be carefully avoided. We are convinced from these cursory observations, that there is yet much to be dis covered as to criminal legislation, and we shall rejoice to see the young men of the House of Commons turn their attention to investigate, somewhat philosophically, this most important branch of their art. Crime and punishment, fami liar as are the terms, require, we think, much in vestigation to be thoroughly understood. The Levant mail, received yesterday, brings advices from Constantinople of the Bth, from Alexandria of the 7th, and from Malta of the 17th instant. The news from Turkey and Egypt is by no means satisfactory. The SUL TAN had been so ill advised as to refuse modify ing the firman appointing MEHEMET Am to the Pachalic of Egypt, and the VICEROY, on his part was at Cairo, engaged in warlike prepara tions. Among our extracts from the advices thus received will be found the Report of a speech said to be delivered by Lord PONSONBY, at a meet ing of Foreign Ministers at the Divan, which, if correct, is a very extraordinary produc tion. We certainly doubt its authenticity, but the form in which it has reached us fully warrants its publication. If it be even circumstantially correct—if it at all ex press the policy of our Government, we hesitate not to affirm that MEHEMET ALI has been most unhandsomely treated by England. itad he not relied upon British good faith, he might be now the recognised Sovereign of the TurkisE empire. But we shall await the arrival of more authentic and positive intelligence before at tempting to bring public opinion to bear upon the policy of our Government in Turkey and Egypt. Belgian and German papers have reached us. The following [brief extracts include the only news they contain : BRUSFELS, MARCH, 27.—The Moniteur promulgates the treaty of commerce between Belgium and Greece, signed at Athens on the 25th of September, 1840. • Count Hypotel Velain XIV., harge d'affaires of Belgium, at the Court of Turin, has set out to-day to repair to his post. We are assured improvements several very important resolutions tend ing to introduce into the business of the Post office, will be shortly laid before the King for his signature. Nothing of much importance was discussed in the Chamber of Representatives in the sittings of 26th and 27th of March. AUGSBURG, MARCH 21. —lt appears from a letter just re ceived from Bean, that the proposed prilongation for one year of the treaty with Holland is objected to by the King. The Estates of the Province of Prussia now assemblPd at Dantzie, approved by a great majority in their sitting of the 10th of March, the proposal made in a former session to make the sittings of the Assembly public, so far that a certain number of persons, especially the constituents of the members, might be admitted to be present at the debates.

The terms upon which he sought this loan were referred to a Committee of bankers and capitalists. The Five per Cents. were done on the 20th at 271 for cash, and 271 at sixty days. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday The great question of the day is the Fortification of Paris Bill, which is warmly debated in the French Chamber of Peers. There was quite a scene there during Friday's sitting. M. PERSIL, who supported the Bill, accused the Royalists of op posing it from a desire to place, by means of foreign bayonets, a Pretender upon the throne of France. This called up the Duke de DnEux- BREZE, Nvho protested, in the name of the Duke of BORDEAUX, against such a charge. A protest in the name of the Prince was enough to raise a storm in the Chamber, and, in fact, it became quite a hurricane. The Duke withstood fur some time, but so great was the uproar, that he was not allowed to utter a syllable. Ni. GuizoT delivered a long speech on Thursday in favour of the measure, of which lie assumed the entire responsibility. The following telegraphic despatch appears in the Monitepr of Friday : " MARSEILLES, MARCH 25. "THE PREFECT OF TUE EMICHES DU RHONE TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " The judicial inquiries are continued with great activity. The number of arrests is twenty-one. This mad attempt has excited here nothing but disgust and indignation. Every thing is perfectly tranquil." The Aionitcur likewise publishes a circular from the Minister of Commerce, commanding all Prefects and Sub-Prefects to take measures for carrying the Factory Bill into full effect. There is some Oriental news in the Journals of Saturday. We regret to find it stated that Commodore NA PIER and the PACIIA parted coldly, and that the Gallant Commodore was so annoyed by the circumstance as to refuse a splendid diamond snuff-box which Bociios BEY was charged by the VICEROY to present to him. The gallant Commodore and the PACIIA have been both very scurvily treated. The speech of the Duke do Noaillcs has struck- a dcci,i,,c blow against the fortification law, in the opinion of all impar tial men. This essay of a mind equally solid and judicious, demol shes all 'the illusions with which the defenders of the project had invested their work. If the law passes, it will te ruined in public opinion ; it will be nothing more than the still born progeny of two equally culpable ideas—that of military despotism, and that of revolutionary tyranny.—La Gazette de France. _ We have received news from Bona, dated the 10th of March. General Bugeaud arrived at Bona on the 9th. The National Guard, the troops of the line, and almost the whole population, were ready to receive him. The General tra versed the ranks, and was satisfied with the appearance of the troops. On the 10th he left Bona, to proceed to Constantine, with the intention of visiting all the camps and the interme diate ports. The Univers says—The Journals of London and Germany have spoken for some days past of negotiations, the object of which they allege to be to engage France to acknowledge and sign the Treaty of 1840. We believe that we may assert that all these assertions are completely erroneous. France will not sign, and ought not to sign any treaty with the great Powers, but one which shall give and seriously guarantee a le gitimate satisfaction to her dignity, to her influence her inte rests, and those which it is more particularly het province to protect in the East and in the West. —Le Constituttonnet.

We doubt not but that the new esta blishment will meet with the encouragement which this liberal act on their part deserves. ACCOUNT OF THE POPULATiON.—A Bill has just been introduced into the House of Commons to amend the Act of last Session, entitle " An Act for taking an Account of the Population of Great Britain." The Bill directs that the ac counts required by the said Act to be taken on the Ist of July, shall be taken on Monday, the 7th of June, 1841, and shall be the accounts of the persons who abode in the several dis tricts therein described on the night of Sun day, the 6th of June. The accounts of house less persons, persons travelling, kc., shall also refer to the said night of Sunday. The accounts in Scotland are to be verified before the 30th of June. The Act also provides a small degree of consolation to bachelors and old maids, allowing them, under certain circumstances, to diminish their age, if they see meet, by five years. Thus every person whose age shall be twenty, and not twenty-five, shall be set down as aged twenty, and, in like manner, the age of every person shall be set down as that multiple of five years which either expresses his or her real age, or is next below it. ThE Bill repeals the clause containing a table of allowances to any parish clerk, or other persons who shall have assisted the rector, or to any person em ployed in the execution of the Act, other than the enumerators , registrars, and superintendent registrars employed in England and Wales in the execution of the Act ; and provides that the fees shall be fixed by the Justices of the Peace in petty or special session ; and also that the overseers of the poor, constables, tithinginen, peace officers, and the relieving officers in any union formed under the New Poor-law, shall act as enumerators if required by the Commissioners. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The public securities tc-day were in rather a tranquil state, but although the accounts of Ibrahim Pacha's wsr -1 preparations had a tendency to check businesr, no particular depression was occasioned by them, as it is g.-- nerally believed that all differences will eventually be act aside. Consols for present transfer realised 88P f to 884, and for the Account 89-1,- and 88-4, closing at 89 ; Ex chequer Bills were at SR. to 7s. premium, and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 971 to 97k. The result of the meeting of Portuguese bondholders (one of the fullest we have observed for a long. time past), has been the aioption of a series of resolutions, setting forth the hardships under which the bondholders labour, the shameless conduct of tie Portuguese Finance Agency in threatening the creditors with being subjected to such determination as the Government at Lisbon may come to, in the event of their not accepting the terms offered in the dedree of November, and the propriety of petitioning Par liament to render in future the e•intractors of all ions amenable for the acts of the States or countries on whose account they borrow to as to prevent the further waste of per haps many millions :f Britislwarital, which would be far Int ter employed in extending our own nationallresourcel. We a•e glad to observe that Lord De Walden has been making energetic remonstrances on behalf of the English creditors to the Ministry ( f Donna Maria. The Peninsula Bonds were the favourite speculative stocks to-day, and in them a very large amount of business was transacted. Port u guese New Stock was worth 332. to a in the morning, tut after the meeting fell to 321. The Three per Cents. ranged from 201 t) 191 ; Spanish Active Bonds were worth 23a to 23*; Mexican Bonds 30 to 292-; Colombian 22; Brazilian 72; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 501 to The ftvilvvay Shares were c'ealt in to some extent, and generally at full prices. (From The Sun of Lost Night. ) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 27.—There has been a moderate business done in our Cotton Market this day.

Several heavy failures have taken place, and others are expected to follow. We have also Papers from Hobart Town to the 21st Novem ber. Private accounts from Sydney represent trade and busi ness generally to be deplorably bad. English slop goods are said to be selling at 50 per cent., under the prime cost. The Sydney Government have purchased two cargoes of Wheat ; the quantity is th rty thousand bushels, and the price, we un derstand, was ss, 6d. per bushel. . Our advices from Sydney rea'•h to the 24 of November. The sesion of the Legislative Council had closed after a long debate upon immigration. His Excel'ency, in his closing speech on the adjournment of the late session, intimated the probability of his not remaining much longer at the head of this Government. We learn from positive authority that the South Australian principle of selling land at IL the acre will be universally adopted at Port Phillip. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date : BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 26.—The Bourse of London and Paris being weaker the National funds remain lower than yesterday.

In the House of Lords last night, Lord DEN MAN, on presenting a petition, took the opportu nity of defending, in reference to the case of Lord WALDEGRAYE, himself, and two of his brother Judges from some of the strictures of the Press. It argues well for Lord DENMAN'S pure mind that he is not insensible to the public voice ; and we cannot think that the Marquis of NORMANDY ex pressed a just sentiment, or did any credit to himself, or took a right measure of public feeling when, adopting a routine saying of aristocracy, he asserted, Lord DENMAN might have relied on his own high character, to satisfy their Lordships and the public as to the course which he had pursued. Lord DENMAN judged better, and feel ing conscious ofhaving done right, he endeavoured to convey his own convictions to the public. We cannot say that they will agree with Lord DENMAN they will no doubt admit his rectitude, bu. perhaps doubt his discretion. It is something tc learn from him that the case would, in the ordi nary course of law, be brought before him next term. His Lordship affirmed that all he said oL the occasion of Sir F. POLLOCK announcing that the parties would plead guilty and make an atonement, was, "At least they act right now ; let their plea be withdrawn, and a plea of guilty be recorded. I hope the case is of such a nature as to admit of its being settled by private repara ration." His Lordship probably knew nothin of the particulars, the parties having pleaded guilty. We shall know more about his opinion when they are brought up for judgment. After a few petitions, their Lordships again prosecuted what Lord RA DNOR called their " mi nute" inquiry into the character, conduct, condi tion, past life, and opinions, of certain very subor dinate and never-before-heard-of Poor-law admi nistrators, and when tired of this sport went tc dinner. In the Commons, after the usual presentation of petitions, the Copyright of Designs Bill wa read a second time. Some conversation took place as to the busi ness that was to be brought before the House ; and on reference to an inquiry into the conditiol of Newfoundland, to which Lord J. RUSSELL again expressed his readiness to accede, wile'. the information reached. England.; but the whole business of the evening was the Poor law Amendment Bill. On the motion to go int( a Committee, Mr. FIELDEN moved an instruc tion to repeal the Poor-law Amendment Act ; and supported his motion by a long but inaudible speech. General JOHNSON seconded the motion, which on a division was lost by 9 to 155. In Committee several divisions occurred, th: Bill was gone through up to clause 10, and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past One. We see with much pleasure that the provincia. journals which are generally assumed to express the opinions of the working classes are growing more moderate, and recommending conciliation where they formerly advocated hostility. The Chartists are now told by their own newspaper:: that they should endeavour to convince and convert the ignorant and erring, and that they should use arguments, not force, to obtain suc cess. Class feelings are deprecated as rising from and giving strength to furious passions, and as leading to convulsions. Some of the middle classes, it is said, are with the lowei classes, and the whole should be conciliated. Even if none of them are converted to Chartisn: by mild persuasion, those who use that will gait a good name for their peaceable efforts. Such recommendations have our hearty approval, and we hope they are the commencement of an ap proximation between the middle and lower classes. The interest of employers and employed, who are mutually as necessary to each other's sub sistence as the weaver, the spinner, and the cotton-grower, is so closely interwoven, that it is impossible for the arts and intrigues of their opponents to keep them long at variance. It is only requisite, we believe, that both should understand their mutual relations, for both to become aware of their mutual errors, and strive together for the attainment of a common end. Both are labourers—the man who goes to market to buy cotton, or to market to sell calicoes, or who plans and regulates a mill, being as necessary to the combined operation of making and exchanging cotton cloth for bread, as the spinner and the weaver. TheSittre not more necessary, however the wealth of the master and the subsistence of the workmen being equally the results of their joint exertions. Whilst the employers cannot be, nor is it wished that they should be, insensible to the charms of wealth and distinction, neither can they be, nor ought they to be, insensible to the more serious consideration of having around them contented though less opulent assistants.. Riches are good things, but peace and security are better; and those who strive after wealth must live in dread as long as the multitude is desperate from want and oppression. We endeavoured on Thursday to point out some of the circumstances which mislead the workmen to suppose that their employers are the willing instruments for oppressing them. They are but the servants of a harsh necessity, begotten by bad laws, and suffer by the same causes which deteriorate the condition of the• workmen. Whether the knowledge of this truth come to the workmen by our instrumentality or by their own observations and reflections, it is impossible that they should not acquire it, and equally impossible that it should be without in fluence over their conduct. The mutual in terest of both parties being so inseparably united, we hope that the mild language we have adverted to is the beginning of a better understanding and reconciliation between them. They cannot continue estranged without a mutual destruction of their political power, and their re concilement may be expected because it is for their common advantage. W e h a ve never flattered either class by laying all the blame of the contention on the other. If the Chartists have been too eager to break through old and honoured, though not honourable, usages, the middle classes have been too tenacious in holding fast to customs and privileges, regard less of their justice. If the Chartists, by the threatened violence of physical force, under the bad advice of self-seeking men, have endeavoured to shake off the many oppressions to which the law has subjected industry, the middle classes have as unwisely sought, by the force of orga nized power, to maintain and strengthen a sys tem which they cannot avoid knowing is one of oppression. Let them first secure for the people freedom of industry, freedom of thought, and freedom of action; let them first secure for the poorer clan es ample protection for their persons, their property, and their labour, and then they will . - De justified for BRITISH FUNDS.

Trtz DERBY.—The weight of the betting `as on Van Am burgh, Coronation, and the Rosalie colt, the emnmissions to back the first of the three being so strong, that, after a few bets at 10 and I I to 1, he caught Rosalie, and was backed at 9 to 1, being little more than half the odds laid on the Thursday' be fore. Coronation's friends laid out their money freely, 17vst at 10 to 1, and, on the offers failing, at 9 to 1 ; and as the latter odds were taken about Rosalie, and several even five hundreds were laid, we cannot venture to say which of the three left off first favourite. Ralph was in favour, but the general feeling was adverse to Eringo, Cameleon, and Pale mon, and the Knight of the Whisle, although not mentioned singly, can scarcely be considered so good a favorite as at the commencement of the Van Amburgh movement on Monday, the 22d instant. Very little was done against outsiders, and on the 0.10 the only bets laid were against Lampoon, who stands alone in the betting.

About seven weeks ago the vvorkers on an estate in the vicinity of Ayr were employed in scouring a large drain ; tle stuff that was thrown out of it was carted away, and laid in a heap in order to be made into compost. During the process of mixing it with .lime, which was begun about five weeks after its being laid up for the purpose, one of the labourers observed something stirring under the heap, and about eight( envinches below its original surface, on removing the earth hrefound, much to his surprise, a pike eiv mpg 4 3. poubds, alive and hearty, and disposed to fight for h.s liberty.
