LONDON: rRIDAY, JULY 2, 1841 Sir ROBERT PEEL appears, by Ms Tamworth speech, to have become quite enamoured of the Corn-law. The passages we yesterday quoted proved its negative advantages. It has not, ac cording to the Right Hon. Baronet, been the cause of our manufacturing distress; but he went much further than this, and insinuated that it was the cause of our national prosperity. With that dexterity in argument which he has acquired from continually debating for victory without considering the truth or falsehood of the question at issue;'he used the statements of his opponents to make out his case. Quoting Mr. -- 111 4 CULLocres late pamphlet, h e sa id The object of the pamphlet is to prove the advantage of the substitution of a fixed duty on corn; but Mr. ll‘Culloch, writing fairly and impartially, and not lend inb aid to the disseminations of those gross delusions Ly which, in manufacturing districts, pub l ic indignati on has been excited, makes th ese admissions with respe c t to agriculture :—" Th e price of wheat in Englund, at an Average of the ten years ending with 1820, was no less than 86a. 3 d. a quarter. Its tGs. 11d average erage price has since been reduced to this 575.) a quarter, and, tremen dousnotwithstanding &11, a most witraordinary improvement taken place in agriculture since 1820, so has much so that we now provide for an additional population of at least seven millions, not only without any in crease, but with a very considerable diminution of im portation." Gentlemen, these are important facts. The price of wheat has been reduced under the operation of the present Corn-laws from Hs-per quarter to 5 7 s. , and yut, notwithstanding this reduction of price, agricu lture has improved, and there has been derived from the land of this country an additional supply of corn for 7,000,000 of our population. This is a great advantage to have realised. He subsequently added— While I admit the present distressed state of manufac tures and coiaimeree in this country, that that distress is not attributable to the Corn-laws, and that we should be acting an unwise part if, under the pressure of difficulty, which I believe to ba temporary, we were to make a ra dical, fundamental change in the laws which regulate the application of capital to the cultivation of land. Afterwards Sir R. PEEL quoted some state ments made by Lard PALMERSTON on the 224:1 of . July, 1840, with a view of showing that Ministers had not neglected the commerce of the country as to the increase of trade, and Sir ROBERT added— This is the Ltstimony of the Foreign Minister of this country with respect to the increase of the trade and commerce of this country from the year 1830 t o 1839 , during the whole of 'Which period the present Corn-laws were in operation. This boasting of the progressive in crease of our commerce makes me doubt whether the operation of the Corn-laws can be fairly assigned as the Cause: of the present manufacturing and commercial dis tro:;:. Nov combining these remarks with the re marks as to the great increase in our agricultural productions, and Sir R. PEEL'S declared attach ment to n. protective duty, it is fair to conclude that he attributes the national prosperity to the Corn-laws, which regulate, according to him, the application of capital to land. The following. Passage may be considered, in fact, as quite posi tive, coming from so cautiou s a sWpe ' aker•— e must take care lest in a well-intendtion.edend.eavoUr to remedy the distress existi g ng th i e n t_ o h u i n s is!rict or m that, We run the risk of underntin in dadlons of national prosperity; and I cannot help thinking that if-we did di minish the agricultural prosperity of this country—if we did disturb the application of capital to land, so far from increasing the demand for our manufactures, we might be affecting the home trade; and only adding to the pri vations and sufferings of those who live by manufactur ing labour.—(Hear, hear.) It is by a careful considera tion of those causes that I have come to the conclusion that we are not so called on, and that I do think it of such immense importance that we should make our selves, as far as we can consistently with the mainte nance of a moderate price, independent of foreign supply.—(Cheers.) It is on this account, seeing how rapidly the skill in agriculture had increased ; seeing that, according to the admission of Mr. M'Culloch, that prices are falling, and yet that we have been enabled to support 7,000,000 of people by our own produce more than we supported twenty years ago, that I am induced. to come with him to the conclusion that a prudent states man would pause before he disturbed the principle of the existing Corn-law--that Corn-law which, when you have abundance at. home, excludes foreign coin from competi tion; but which, when prices rise, admits foreign corn without a duty.—(Cheers.) I say that system was a manifest advantage over the other, because I do not be lieve it would be possible, when corn did rise to a height which would subject the people of this country to great privations, to continue to levy the duty of Bs. on foreign corn. From Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, the suffering and starving workmen, and the decaying manu facturers, have nothing whatever to hope. He is thoroughly convinced that their distress is only temporary, and that the Corn-laws, so far from having any part in causing it, have encouraged the application of capital to land, and laid the foundations of our national prosperity. It is not in our power to point out exactly the desires which have suggested to the Right Hon. Baro net's mind so many arguments in favour of the present system; but we are at liberty to conjec ture that his wishes to be at the head of the county gentlemen, and to preserve his right to a share of the bread-tax, which he or his father bought, when they bought Drayton Manor, have been the prolific parents of more delusive arguments than we have supposed it possible even for the brains of Sir ROBERT PEEL to furnish. The country, says Sir ROBERT, in great ex ultation, seizing hold of Mr. M'CuLLocst's statement, has grown food under the protec tive system for seven millions more persons, since 1820, than before existed. Seven mil lions is about one-fourth of the whole popu lation, from which it follows that since 1820 the productions of agriculture have increased one-fourth under the protective system. But what, in the same period, has been the increase of manufacturing productions, which not only have not had the advantage of any protective system, but have been obliged, by the tax on corn, to contribute to the prosperity of agricul turists ? Why, Sir ROBERT PEEL in the same speech, and we will not go beyond it to find mate rials to expose its fallacies, showed that in the ten years only, between 1830 and 1840, our exports had increased from 38,000,0001. to 53,000,0001. or more than one-third, and that in the same periods our imports had increased from 40,000,0001. to 62,000,000/., or snore than one fourth. But these are only indications of the vast increase of our manufacturing wealth. The agriculturists have, throughout the period, re ceived an ample reward for all their productions. If we were to say, therefore, that while the pro ductions of protected agriculture have increased one-fourth since IS2O, the productions of unpro tected and even oppressed manufacture have in creased four-fold, we should not be far wide Of the mark. It is clear, therefore, that the pro tection cannot be the cause of the increase, for it has been greater in that branch of industry which has been unprotected. in the paragraph, too, quoted from Kr. MACUL LOCH, it is asserted that the increased produc tions of agriculture have taken place with falling prices, while the intention of the law was to keep the prices from falling. The mode, there fore, in which the Legislature intended the law to operate, and encourage the application of ca pital to land, was never realised. It is well known that between 1822 and 1828 the price of corn never reached the price at which importation was allowed ; so that the views of the Legislature were completely falsified. 'lf the protection af forded to agriculture has been, as supposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, the cause of the national prosperity, it is clear that the Legislature did good by mistake, for it meant, to the year 1828, to keep the price of wheat up to 80s., while in fact it fell to below 60s. The plain explanation of all this increase, both in manufa.ctures and agriculture, is that there is in human nature an irrepressible spring of pros perity. Mankind have a tendency to increase, and each generation strives to improve on the condition of its predecessor. Hence a continual extension of arts and a continual increase of wealth. Government, and so-called protective laws, cannot wholly dry up this spring, but they can do nothing to make it flow with increased force beyond securing to each man the enjoy ment of his own property. This natural spring of prosperity has overflowed the land with an inge nious, industrious population, who, both by their wants and their produce, have stimulated the appli cation of capital to land, of which the result is the increase of one-fourth of our agricultural produc tions. The Corn-law, which takes away the property of the industrious manufacturer and the industrious consumer, to give something more to the idle owner of rent, has had no more to do with increasing the prosperity` it has been unable to destroy than the basket and the ballast at tached to a balloon have to do with raising it in the atmosphere. The power within it enables it to carry them aloft, but they impede its flight. Unless protection and no protection have the same effects—unless high price stimulates the increase of agricultural production, and low price stimulates the increase of ma nufacturing production—unless a law which has only operated by mistake has caused national prosperity—unless legislation can mul tiply the people and extend arts and knowledge, Sir H. PEEL has made out no case for the Corn laws, by merely showing that, in conjunction with them, there has been an increase of the national wealth. Since 1820, the increase of crime, according to the statistical returns, has been greater than the increase of the people; and it is far more rational, though Sir R. PEEL will not accept that as a consequence o f hi s p ro t ec ti ve system, to the inc rease o ascribe the increase of crime, than pe people which e and of i s p t r o o d r u ob ee , theto a la w the very essence indus trious in order to enrich the idle. Since the com menee —°ll- ment of the week we have been quite stunned with the shouts of the Tory faction on the progr ess of the general election. They seem to be absolutely mad with joy, and sorry should we be to disturb their hilarity (for of starvatio n f or th e pity rather than they have been in a state l as t eleven years, and deserv e reproa ch); but for their own sakes, as well as f or the interest of the great body of th e Peopl e, i t may be proper to ask, what cause they h ave f or rejoicing? All that th ey have gained in the great metropolitan boroughs is only one Member. Capt. Rous succeeded in Westminster entirely from the apathy of the electors towards their Members in the last Parliament ; the race in the City, notwithstanding all the powerful interests arrayed against the Liberal candidates, was a dead heat; in Greenwich and Marylebone the Tories have been shamefully defeated; in Fins bury neither Saint TooKE, nor any other of his tribe, durst face the heathens DUNCOMBE and WAKLEY ; and in the Tower Hamlets, though three candidates (foolishly, we must say) divided the Liberal interest in favour of the rejected of Worcester, ROBINSON had more than 2,000 voters fewer than Fox. Are these causes for rejoicing? We have the returns already of between 200 and 300 Members, and our Evening Tory Contemporary, who boasted that Sir Ro- BERT PEEL, in 1835, would have carried the Speakership and the Address but for the melan choly accident which befel some of his sup porters who were " snowed up," and never were heard of, only claims ten of a majority at present, intentionally , as usual, falsifying the re turns by leaving out of its list Beverley, Green wich, and Marylebone, where the Liberals have gained three votes, thus giving a majority of only seven in favour of Sir R. PEEL. We may add to these South Shields, for which the Libe ral candidate, Mr. WAwN, has been to a cer tainty returned, and replaced Mr. INGn Am, the Tory. So that, taking into account the great number of rotten boroughs in possession of the Tories, and Tory-Whig landlords, which have returned Members without opposition, the mono polists have no cause to boast. The Government will lose some votes in the English counties, and one or two, perhaps, in the Scotch counties, while they may gain the only burgh op posed to them. Ireland, will, as usual, re turn her fair proportion, and something more; and, deducting the eight Liberals that ab sented themselves on the No-Confidence question, from the majority which the Tories anticipated, Sir ROBERT PEEL will find that he has gained but little by the dissolution of Parliament. We will wait, however, patiently for the result. W hat ever it may be, the great questions which agitate the country must finally be carried, and carried too by the Liberal party which introduced them. Though from their slackness in pushing Reform for the last few years they have disheartened their followers, the public cannot forget the beneficial changes which have taken place since 1.832, and will soon contrast them with the deeds of the monopolists who have burdened the coun try with an enormous debt, who have refused every species of reform, till it was forced from them, and who are still determined to maintain their character to the last. The number of the Quarterly Review just pub lished calls the Reform Bill an enormous folly. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the Tories, whose organ the Quarterly is, will try to repair that enormous folly. They will, yf they can, re peal the Reform Act. They will try to destroy this partial enfranchisement of the people with out enfranchising one person in lieu of it. Whether they will follow the covert and cowardly scheme of Lord STANLEY, and disfranchise the people on pretence of perjury —whether they will sharpen the registration and so cut off the voters, or whether they will have the courage to attempt, openly, to force the country backward through another revolution, we cannot say, but that they will undo what they call an enormous folly, when they have the power, there can be no doubt. The Review complains of the over-dose of poison which has been administered of late by the Press, to the people, on the subject of the Corn law, "endangering the peace as well as the pros perity of the country." It attributes this to the existence of " such a Ministry," and feels in creased regret " that we must be subject for a month longer to such shameless misrule. " The Tories have long given a noble preference to the Orange mode of government in use in Ireland, and would employ the triangle or the pitch-cap to repress those opinions which they regard as poison. They live in joyous expectation of their advent to power, when an end will be at once put to the present freedom of discussion, which the Reviewer calls misrule. He feels that the landlords are too roughly assailed. He has no objection to the Press discussing the burdens borne by the land here and abroad, about which neither he nor any one else has any ac curate information ;The will allow us to write at any length about the possible price at which corn can be raised in different countries, about which nothing is known ; we may dilate end lessly concerning the fertility of Hungary, and the sterility of the cold clay lands of England ; but directly the press approaches the confines of mo ral science, and describes the landlords' tax as a robbery and a wrong, then it maddens the peo ple, then it poisons them, and a dose of bayonet and gaol is demanded to restrain the exhibitions of the Press. It is plain, that whenever the Tories come into power, they will try to overthrow all the liber ties which, in modern times, have been wrung from the aristocracy. As soon as they can, they will take measures to protect the owners of the bread-tax from being annoyed by the winged words of the Press. They will suppress every truth which is unpleasing to them. We know from their own conduct that they have, no ob jection to calumniate her MAJESTY, but to speak in plain and honest terms of the aris tocracy is treason according to their law. Their present views suggest an unfortu nate parallel. Nearly twelve years ago, a Ministry took office in France with a view of undoing the few liberties the French had achieved. They tried to put down the Press, and they brought about the revolution of 1830. The Tories would form a POLIGNAC Ministry, but thank GOD they will not find on the throne a bigot CHARLES X. to support fanatical attacks on freedom, nor will they have to deal with a people prone to take terrible and sudden ven geance. The English are experienced in putting out Ministers without convulsing the empire. Should time Tories carry out their POLIGNAC prin ciples, execration double-shotted will sink them for ever. Withering scorn will palsy their hands as they attempt to sign their arbitrary decrees, and they will die away and disappear before the national contempt and indignation. Letters of the 27th ult. from Hanover state that on the 30th the KING was to dissolve the Assembly of the States, the Second Chamber having refused to discuss the Budget without a declaration on the part of the Crown, that its voting the Budget, would not be regarded as an adoption of the ERNEST and VON SCRELE Consti tution. But the KING, w.ho showed so little regard for the liberties of his people, and for their conscientious scruples in adhering to a . Constitution which they had solemnly sworn to inain:ain inviolate, is not to be thus prevented from making free with their pockets. Already has he signified to them that whether the taxes are granted or not he will not fail to collect them. His MAJESTY will soon have established a precedent for the exercise of arbitrary power, as old as the Constitution, and with such men as ERNEST and Vox SCLIELE a pre cedent is everything. But a knowledge of popular rights, conjoined with a determination to uphold them, are fatal foes to precedents, regal and Ministerial, and thank GOD they have found an altar whereon they are worthily worshipped in the hearts of the German people. The Crown Prince of HANovEit, to whose right of succession to the Throne the ablest German jurisconsults are of opinion his infirmities are a bar, is, we see, labouring hard to render himself as much an object of popular abhorrence as his Royal Sire. In order to divest himself of that, generous sympathy with which a brave and patriotic people surround the physical affliction of sinless youth in high station, his Royal Highness has recently taken several opportunities of sneering, in his place in the First Chamber, at the popularity of those patriotic Magistrates to whom the first cities in the kingdom entrusted their repreSentation. The very idea of mob popularity is an abomination to this worthy chip of a block, regarded as the sign-post of tyranny by the people of England. We have little doubt that before another year is expired, the Prince Royal will find any fears which he may entertain of mob popularity in Hanover utterly groundless. His senatorial and filial adherence to his Sovereign's and his father's system of collecting the taxes without the con sent of the National Representatives, will procure for him all the unpopularity his princely heart can desire. But will the people of Hanover submit to be thus plundered of their money year after year in obedience to the abso lute will of a regal despot ? Will they continue to boast of an attachment to liberty equal to that of Eng lishmen, and yet not imitate what all the world knows Englishmen would do, were they taxdd without the con sent of Parliament ? This is the second year of the col lection of the taxes in Hanover without a vote of the Legislature, and if the system be much longer submitted to King ERNEST will go a step further, and get rid of the Chambers altogether. IVe regret t o s t a t e th at t h e Q ueen of HANOVER, who wisely confines herself to those simple duties which exalt and adorn the female character, continues so dan gerously ill that small hopes are entertained of her reco very. By eschewing politics altogether; and never allow ing herself to be drawn into the vortex of faction, which is engulphing her husband and her son, her MAJESTY has acquired the affection and esteem of all classes in 1 Hanover. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1841. more substantial food afforded by the Chambers is with held, and that even INIErtEmET ALT, by his compli ance with the new hatti scheriff, takes away all pre text . for hatching a war. The Minister of the Interior has just cashiered a company of National Guards of l'mis for electing a Radical Captain—a subject which is the talk of all the City. This same officer had been (ne o i thoie who was imprudent enough to c.y cut " Bastiles l" on the day of NAPOLEON'S funeral, a lding the unwelcome shout of "A bas les Ministres!" A Las Guizot!' For this he himself, with some more officers, were suspended from their rank soon after ; and now his company having unanimously re-elected him Captain, the Government find it to be un pea de trop, and so have sent the whole kit to the right about. Vivent les bayonettes intelligentes - , It is stated that Admiral LALANDE is to have the chief command of the French Mediterranean fleet, but we doubt the fact—such an appointment being about as conciliatory a measure towards the Great Powers as the calling of TRIERS into office again. If he has the command, it will be merely nominal. M. TRIERS is shortly going to commence his tour on the other side of the Rhine. It appears that he will first visit the Hague and other cities of Holland, and will then proceed to Berlin. His stay in each of these capitals will probably not be long; and it is sapposed he will end with Vienna. A rumour that he is going to try the effects of personal acquaintance in softening the rancour justly felt against him by several German statesmen may or may not be true. One thing may. be anticipated with tolerable certainty ; that such expectations, if he enter tains them,. will be deceived. The feeling against him among the more influential members of the Austrian and Prussian nobility is very strong, and the distrust of his political probity universal. The new treaty . of commerce with Holland gives the greatest satisfaction all along the Rhenish frontier o: France,. as might be expected ; and the municipality of Strasburg have held a meeting to thank the Peers and the Government for the steadiness with which they have supported this convention. As a commercial measure it is one of much equity, and will give no small impulse to the cotton manufactories of Alsace and Lorraine, but it will not strengthen the shipping interest of France. England has every reason to be satisfied at the tonclusion of this treaty. We learn from a sure source that the visit of King LEOPOLD to England at the present moment is to aid her MAJESTY with his advice during the crisis of the elections. The QUEEN is said to have written expressly to her Royal Uncle on this subject, and to have begged him to come over and remain till the elections should be well nigh concluded. The counsel his MAJESTY may give when the result of the elections is known, will, no doubt, have much influence on her MAJESTY. There is a story afloat in Paris that the reason of the Duke de NEMOURS having come to something very like a misunderstanding with General BUGEAUD was a refusal on the part of the latter to allow the Prince an extra number of mules for his baggage. There may be some thing in this ; but the Duke, though proud and reserved, is not of the character that such an anecdote would tally with. That a coolness has arisen between him and the General is positive. We observe that the Constitutionnel dwells at some length on a pretended general conspiracy of all the Spanish Carlists in France to re-enter Spain en masse, and rekindle the civil war in the northern provinces—an idea borrowed from the Eco del Cornercio. There is no foundation whatever for the rumour, in that shape at least ; discontent, no doubt, exists widely in the Basque Provinces, the inhabitants of which are justly disap pointed at not having their fueros fairly interpreted, and conceded to them as the treaty of Bergara, stipulated ; and there would not be much difficulty in getting them to join any party in arms that should come with tolerable prospects of success ; but the " sinews of war" are wanting; the Carlist party are miserably poor, and their friends in Germany and elsewhere are tired of " cashing up" for such a set of imbeciles ; they would not stand a single month's campaigning ; so ESPARTERO and his " clever" Secretary LINAGE (who was caught out pirating NAPOLEON'S speech the other day) may sleep in peace. It should be observed that there is a question, or rather a series of questions, now in dispute between the French and Spanish Governments, on which a " very pretty quarrel" might be picked if any ambiti ous Government was desirous of doinc , so. According to the !Treaties between France and ° Spain, concluded during the latter half of the last century, much " de bateable ground" was left at various points along the Pyrenees, and the territory of the Aldudes, in particular, has given rise to some diplomatic communications within the last few weeks. Spain claims some pasture land in that district, which France has declared in polite terms she will not give up, and which of course Spain is unable to take. It seems, however that there are some undecided French claims to all that part of the frontier in which the town and harbour of Passages lie, as being on the northern slope of the Pyrenees. France would, of course, give her ears to get such a strong position into her hands without having to fight for it; and the late Gen. HAxo, who was the best engineer France had since VAUBAN, and who was well acquainted with the ground, declared that the claim of France could not equitably be contested. The dispute about the Aldudes has revived the idea about Passages ; and we should not be surprised to find these claims advanced in a more definite form whenever the fitting opportunity offers. There is little or no news in the Madrid papers of the 23d ult. The loan was not yet taken, though meetings of capitalists continued to be held ; but no security, no caTh. It is affirmed that M. de Bussieres, now Minister Plenipo tentiary at Dresden, is to be sent in the same capacity to the Hague. M. Busson, the French Ambassador at Berlin, left Paris yesterday to return to his post. The Temps says—" We are assured that it is not Admiral Hugon who is to be Maritime Prefect at Toulon, but Vice Admiral Bunden. and that his appointment is before the King fur his signature." Letters from Athens of the 11th of June, received by way of Trieste, has the following intelligence :—" M. Piscatory's mission is to demand payment of one million of francs due from the Gseek Government. On the 11th, he went to the Palace of the Government, and held a conference with such of the European Ambassadors as are in Athens. This French Envoy uses threatening language, but it is hoped the matter may be compromised by an advance on account. The French officers here openly express their good w i s h es f or th e success of the cause of the Christians in the East. They say that their Government is desirous of the re-e s t a bli s h ment o f a inPalestine, and even in Syri a ; an d th a t voluntarily support th e un i on o f C an di a , itC n moreover, kingdom Thessaly, &e., to Greece, if it could find in this Government less towards France. The French are surprised at find ing such extensive liberty in the provinces and communes, and a freedom of the press even less restrained than in their own country. The progress made in Greece in science, art, and manufactures in general, has filled them with astonish ment. The arrival of a great number of strangers with the purpose of making their way into the insurgent countries, has compelled the Government to adopt rigid measures as to pass ports.

Never theless the Times yesterday repeated the statement that " the price which Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck have paid for their seats is a pledge for the abolition of the The Pari s P apers o f Wednesda a re barren of news, rational debt."

Or take, for example, the introduction of salt anti pepper of its political cuisine—now that the green crops into farming, which, by adding to . the - manure, has led,- with the same amount of la bour, to produce three bushels of wheat where before only two were grown. In these and all similar cases a .greater quantity. of useful things is produced at a less cost, and that leSs cost or cheapness is a universal blessing But there is a second source of cheapness which makes it of a different character. Cheapness is sometimes caused by the want of a market for produce. One commodity is changed for another. If, therefore, while the manufactu rers are _finding out new processes to manufacture cheaply, the agrieu!turists be prevented from growing corn to ex change for their productions, there will be a want of a market for them, and their cheapness falling below the cost of production • will be a great evil. That kind of cheapness can be only temporary, and is caused by a stop being put to the production of those articles for which there is no market. When we fail to distinguish between permanent cheapness, the result cf lessened cost, and temporary cheapness, the result of the want of a market, we continually fall into mistake. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have the arrival of a Brazil mail this morning by her Majesty's packet Magnet, as well as a packet from Mexico by the Pigeon ; the former mail having about 30,0001. on freight, and the latter 1,115,000/. in dollars, part of which, to the amount of 9,8:/8 dollars, is for the Mexican dividends. The Magnet sailed from Rio Janeiro May 7, Bahia May 15, and Pernambuca May 21 : the Pigeon sail e d from Vera Cruz May 3, Tampico May 8, and Havannah May 27. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Jinx I.—The business in the Cotton Market to-day has been animated, and the de mand for the trade still continues brisk. The sales are 5,000 bales, to consumers. LIVERPOOL SHARE_MARKET, JULY I.—We have had a more extended business in the Share Market to• day, but there has been no improvement in the prices.

We have received the Rio Commercial List of the sth May. The Market was not animated, the business done was never theless to an average amount, whilst the quantity of goods received was moderate. ExroaTs.—This branch of commerce was exceedingly dull throughout the month, and, except in Coffee, the . , transactions possessed a very limited interest. MoN EY MARKET. —For discounts during the first fifteen days of the month, there exited some little tightness in the Money Market ; nevertheless, at 9 per cent., money could be found on first-rate paper. Since the 17th, 10 to 12 per cent. had been the current rates, and, in the negOtiation of Bills of Ex chinge, even higher rates have been submitted to, in order to cb.aia money. The repeated and continued calls for discount on the part of the Government, acts, to a certain extent, as a drain upon the market, but the wants of the Treasury, and the consequences of them, are fearfully magnified. In the opinion of the moneycd in te re,t his Excellency the Minister of Finance is positively apprehen sive the moneyed interest will not part with their capital, arid has invited some of our leading capitalists and merchants to a con ference, to take place to-day, for the purpose of considering the most eligible manner of supplying the means required for the public service, without detriment to the commercial body. EXCII NCF. —Although the amount of business done during the month has not been considerable, the fluctuations have been great and rapid. On London the opening rates were 30 to 30%, and the Ex change remained flat, with little doing until the 13th and 14th, when at 30% and 301 several sums were negotiated. On the 19th a rise of occurred, bills having on that day been passed both at 304 and 31 until the 23d ; there was scarcely a transaction on that day, 31 to 31% were the ex treme rates ; on the 27th the market closed flat, at 31 ; on the 28th bills were passed at 304, on the 29th 30% and 30%, and on the 30th, after having been done at 30%, the closing rate was 30%. The transactions in specie have not been to any extent. Tho conference between his Excellency the Minister of Fi nance and the merchants and capitalists took place on the Ist instant. His Excellency stated the estimated deficit of the Trcasury during the months of May, June, and July, to be 2,400,000 milreis, in which amount was included 1,000,000 milreis. He told the meeting that he thought it ad visable to make use of both the milreis at his dis posal, for the purpose of meeting the deficit, viz., to issue both Stock and Treasury Bills, the latter to a less amount than was now in circulation. OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.-The Legislative Assembly was opened on the 3d inst., by his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro 11. The following is an extract of the speech : " I have much pleasure in finding myself amongst you. The Imperial throne is never so dignified as when surrounded by the representatives of the nation. " Desirous that the act of my coronation be rendered more solemn by your presence, I have commanded that it take place during the present session. " It is gratifying to me to be enabled to inform you that per fect amity and good understanding subsists between Foreign Powers and the Empire ; these I shall endeavour to strengthen so far as I can consistently with the interests of the nation and the dignity of my Crown. I have received from these Powers the most nattering solicitations upon having assumed the exer cise of prerogatives conferred upon me by the Constitution. " I see with extreme pain the continuance of the civil war of Rio Grande de Sul. Of the state of ether provinces of the empire you will be informed by the Minister of Justice, and I must call your attention to the necessity of a Council of State, whom I may consult upon all important questions. " My Ministers will each in his report represent to you those matters which are connected with their respective departments. "DON PEDRO 11., " Constitutional Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil We have received Buenos Ayres papers to the 18th April. The infernal machine continues to be a prolific theme of -congratulation from every quarter to General Rosas on the late providential escape of himself and daughter.

SIEGE OF CHIRGONG, IN BUNDLEKUND. This appears to have been a very smart and well contested affair ; the enemy fought gallantly, and although our detach ment was a pretty strong one, our victcry was not very easy. It appears that the force, consisting of the infantry of the Bundlekund Legion (900), three companies of the Gwalior Contingent (180), one company of the 13th Native Infantry (85), the cavalry of the Bundlekund Legion (400), two 9-pounders and one howitzer of the contingent, and two 6-pounders of the Legion, marched from Jhansi on the even ing of the 9th ult. to a place called Alaiapore, three miles to the southward of Chirgong. On the 10th the camp moved to Nuri, about the same distance to the north-west, and before day break of the 11th the whole force moved upon Chir gong. About daybreak our advance came upon the enemy, 50 horse and 250 foot ; but as our troops formed and advanced with the utmost steadiness the enemy fell back upon the village of Cherona, and after firing it, retreated to Chirgong. Our camp then was moved up from Nuri to occupy the ground in the rear of the village, and a squadron, under Lieutenant Werner of the Bundlekund Cavalry, sent out to reconnoitre. When about parallel with the fort, the reconnoitring party was saluted by a smart fire from some five or six guns, which did not very much execution, one horse only having been wounded, though Lieutenant Werner himself tery narrowly escaped, a shot having struck the ground close to him. With out airy further damage the squadron regained the main force, and the enemy opened, with some vigour, upon our camp. Some round shot pasSed through two or three of our tents, and wounded some of our men. On this a nine-pounder and howitzer were run up, and a sandbag battery hastily erected at about 800 yards from the fort, on which our guns opened with good effect, and in less than half an hour nearly silenced the enemy's fire. Our tents were then struck and sent to the rear, out of range of the enemy's guns. Pickets were posted at different points, and the day's work was closed. On the 12th nothing was done. On the 13th a party of grasscutters having been sent out for forage, a party of the enemy endeavoured to cut them off on their return to camp. Lieutenant Werner was sent out with a troop to the support of the camp followers, but when advancing upon a body of the enemy, about one hundred in number, who had been annoying him with their matchlocks, just as he was about to give the word to " charge," he was asto nished by a shower of rockets, which put the horses in confusion. He soon rallied the troop, but the enemy had retreated behind the stockades, from which they opened a galling fire, whilst another party took him in flank from a village called Pehaxi. Nothing was to be done but to retreat, which was fortunately done without any loss either of man or horse. On the 14th and 15th nothing was done. On the 16th reinforcements arrived from Casvnpere, three companies of the 52d Native Infantry, a troop of the Bth Cavalry under Captain Barbor, and the battering train (two 18-pounders and two mortars) under Captain Pepper. On the morning of the 7th, the mortars were got into battery, and on the evening of the same day the heavy guns were placed also. Next morning the ordnance set to work in earnest, and twice the town was fired by the shells, but each time the flames were got under. The e.iemy returned our fire, but not with much effect, though tolerably well directed. Our practice is described as having told well on the citadel, and the town was towards the evening again ignited, but the blaze was soon subdued. On the 19th, it having been judged that a stockaded garden to the right of the fort would furnish the best position for our breaching batteries, Captain Jamieson, of the 52d, with a detachment of three companies of infantry and a squadron of horse, went out, at two o'clock in the morning, to get possession of it ; but, owing to the thick darkness of the night, the party separated, missed their way, and were able to do nothing. On the 20th, an hour before daybreak, the same detachment moved out again, and carried the garden in gallant style, after a • most determined resist ance. It appears that when about 100 yards from the ditch of the stockade, four rounds of shrapnel were fired from the howitzer to clear the garden, but there was no symptom of an enemy. The companies were then advanced to move back the brambles, and clear a passage for the troops. Some of our men bad just given over their muskets to set to work un encumbered, when a tremendous discharge of stinkpots and rockets fell among the detachment, and put them in Confusion. They could scarcely be rallied, before a galling fire from two hundred matchlocks was poured upon them, which disabled many of our men, and would have done mere ex ecution but for the previous discharge, which prostrated many of them. Our men, it is said behaved admirably—they soon rallied, formed, and fired a volley, which was succeeded by a pretty brisk exchange of compliments. By this time the 6-pounders which had been sent for arrived, together with a company of the 13th Native Infantry. The guns were planted at the two northern extremities of the garden, and played prettily along the trenches, sweeping them with grape ; the infantry then, with a loud cheer, rushed into the garden by a small aperture, in the west face. The enemy did not stay to re ceive them, but retreated into the town as our troops entered. The stockaded garden being thus in our possession, the detachment threw up a temporary work before them, com posed of sandbags and cotton bales, to cover them from the severe fire of the enemy, which lasted till three o'clock. Our ordnance here played beautifully—raked the whole face from which the enemy were assailing us, and, indeed, were the salvation of the detachment. A sharp fire was kept up from the town till nine o'clock, and at midnight the place was eva cuated. It appears that the force was not strong enough in the cavalry arm to surround the fort and cut off the retreat of the enemy. The town when taken presented a sad picture of desolation; not a soul was to be seen in it, and the ravages of fire were everywhere visible. A large powder magazine was exploded after our people had got into the town, but we do not know if it occasioned any loss. In the affair of the 20th three of our men were killed and 82 wounded, many of whom are not expected to recover. The Jagheerdar has made off to Tehree, and the Jagheer been formally resumed: EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF CAPTAIN COX. Captain George Hamilton Cox, Secretary of the Fire In surance Company, who had formed an injudicious connexion with an actress of Calcutta, had, for the last two or three days, been observed to be labouring under great depression of spirits in consequence of his wife and children being daily expected from England. He went to the theatre, from which he re turned to his lodgings at the Bengal, Club about nine o'clock, and then, with the greatest deliberation, blew out his brains with a pistol, literally shattering to pieces the whole of his head. After his return it appears he wrote a letter to the Coroner, one to the editor of the Englishman, and a third to the actress we have spoken of, and then, sending his servants out of the rolm, seated himself in a chair, which he adjusted in a corner of the closet, with a brace of loaded pistols in his hand, and shot himself through the head with one of them. One pistol was found still loaded on the chair beside the corpse, which remained in a recumbent posture, and the other was picked up on the ground near the chair. An inquest was held on the body of Captain Cox, at which the following letters, written by the deceased immediately before his death, were read : " TO THE CORONER AND JURORS ON MY INQUEST. " I am unwilling, Gentlemen, to give you unnecessary trouble in searching for evidence, to form an opinion on the cause of my having shot myself. It was unhappiness; you will find no more, search as you will. I have very long and deeply thought on the subject, but all men will live as long as they can, until they reach that point of endurance beyond which the soul cannot be forced. 'Tis no pleasant thing to blow your brains out, I can assure you, and requires a resolution and determination to do it. I have not perpetrated the act under any temporary or immediate excitement—in fact, I put off the deed for some days to effect a particular object. " I obtained the pistols many days ago from Messrs. Tul loch and Co., to whom I beg they may be returned. They were, I think, sent on inspection only. The powder I pur chased from Mr. Thompson a few days later again, and having completed a few arrangements I takii my leave. Inquire of those who saw me latest, if you please; you will find I laboured under no excitement that was perceptible to them. My feelings, (d course, were wrong, but the wounds were known only to myself. If I had not been extremely unhappy, I should not have shot myself. Insanity has never been in my family, and I am as cool and collected at this writing as I have ever been. " The office I conducted is in good order, and. is steadily progressing. My worldly prospects are good, but a man can not work with a broken heart. I hope your verdict (after such inquiry as you may please to make) will be, Found shot by himself,' or something to that effect, but not from temporary e cite met t or derangement. 44 Aril 29. " G. HAMILTON COX. 46 P. S.—l solicit the cheapest and meanest funeral--no puekah g..ave, no mourning coach, no parson's fees—outside a churchyard I be as comfortable as in it. Attend, Gen tlemen, to tl.e wishes of a dead man, who values not mere forms, and I would thank you if I could. Dr. Goodeve is my mcdieal adviser." " TO D. GOODEVE. " My dear Goodeve,---You caught me in the midst of, the preparations for death ; defend me, then, from the often cruel and unjust vi rdict of temporary insanity or excitement. My objection to the verdict is, that it often acts as a tact and a slur on a wi.ole family, otherwise I care not one straw for the opinion of the world, for it—though it may affect his prospects—virtually makes a man neither better nor woise than he is. "Bit I think there is something revolting in the idea that the fa tits of a father should be visited on his children. It is bad enough for human nature that many diseases are here ditary ; hence, 'doubtless, the wise saw of a certain big book, wherein it says that The sins of the father shall be,' &c. I die us firm and unshaken in my belief as a man can do. No man (for how can we believe contrary to our convic tion?) can put faith in aught which, in his opinion, is not supported by proof or probability; consequently not to be lieve is no crime. ‘• I do not believe a man killing himself a crime, so I tabe my life when I find it burdensome. The inquest may being me in mad if they will, I can't help it; but these are sentiments I have maintained for years. I consequently call on you, as a physician, and as a man of honour, to assert, that when you last saw me and during your acquaintance with me, you never saw me suffer from aberration of mind, and you saw me settling petty debts and writing my farewell l e tt ers. F arewell to thee likewise ; best thanks f or allyour kindness; accept the enclosed as a trifling return for all your attentions, and believe me till life has sped (which will not be for some hours yet); " Your's, sincerely, " April 29, 1841. " G. HAMILTON COX. " I have shattered my carcass enough, so quietly bury me without cutting me up. It is strange the antipathy a man has to dissection. So, as the pistol has done its work, spare the knives." " TO MR. WESTERMAN. " My dear Sir,—Let inebeg — thViiticiness of your imme diately assuring yourself that the cash account, funds, and affairs of the fire insurance office are correct, and of your in forming the public so, and that the prospects of the Company are slowly but steadily advancing. " Gmly Coomar Mookerjee, the head writer, is a good man, and in its present state capable of conducting the office. It would generally add to the prosperity of the company if yourself or some other gentleman of the company would act gratuitously for a few months,' by signing the papers as acting secretary. The business is clear and simple. The expenses of printing forms, rules, certificates, advertising, &c., are ex tremely heavy for so young an institution, of the eventual success of which there can be no doubt.
