The Morning Herald yesterday ga ve t h e fol lowing brief history of the vicissitudes of agri culture.under the modern Corn-laws ; The present high prices of domestic grain are the re sultproducedrapid of the very low prices of 1835, ' ruin among the cultivators extensive clension in the amount of cultivation in the British islands. Thence followed the deficient supplies of 18— and 1838, when in the former year the import of foreign wheat sprung from two hundred and sixty-three thou sand and seventy-four quarters to five hundred and se venty-eight thousand three hundred and fifteen quarter and to one milliam three hundred a nd sixty-one thou , Mad five hundred and eighty - four quarters in 1838; ithi: t3eBed, andi deficiency naturally beg ot the high h igh pricesave pro of l 1839, and 184 0 ; and these, ag 1841, more extensive cultivation and more abundant produce, which have, however, been neutralised by the vet and inclement harvest weather which has, we fear, greatly injured what at one time promised to be a good and ample supply. The effects produced on the internal cultivation by the alteration df prices seems to be invariable. The high prices of 1816, 1817, and ISIS, ranging from 945. to 845., with an average yearly import of one million three hundred thousand quarters, were succeeded by ex tended cultivation of wheat and improved husbandry, which produced low prices, abundant home supplies, and greatly diminished imports for the next three rars.w The very low prices of 1822 and 1823 again 2orse land out of eultivation, prices sprung up a quarter in 1, 8 924 and 1825, and were only kept down, in 1826 . 'raid 1827, by au gmented importa tions. In 1828 andiB29 the effect of the withdrawal af the On from no e s -pound notes became apparent ; prices rose 1831, and the average importation of firoirileiiiglao_ six hundred those four years was upwards of one came six ea thousand quarters per annum. Then and dim l j she r d s . of low prices, great a7ricultural distress, hundred and imports—the latter averaging only three by a n i ncer:4. l7, enty thousand quarters per annum ; and InB, 1 839 :"" a _ ..'e _sequence the diminished production of h ave before po l t l e r 0 0, with the augmented imports we Fromtothisit s t elite given price, leads the productionby artificially raising the than thefarmers to produce more in fer tile years when, in consequ ene conlinunit y can purchase, tion, prices f a ll very e l of their e xcess i ve produc extensively ruined, mow' and the fa rmers are is not the interested e in 183 4 and 1835. Thi s tuel l a law, but of a P r , -co ent of an Anti-Corn journal which claim s th e " : ad vocate, and of a mer's friend. It should title of being the far impression on them, and w make a corresponding can enforce it by the follovve* shall b e h appy i f we When the price of food ,I, es onsiderations. ithe consunr)tio., diminishes, and as there is always in society a considerable number of persons who can barely subsist, every such rise in prices • either di minishes the increase of population, or actually extinguishes a portion of that which is in exist ence. In very high-priced years a complete check is given to the progress of population, and it is even starved below the level of the preceding years. In such years, too, all kinds of substi tutes are had recourse to for the high-priced ag ricultural produce, so that the grower never gets a complete remuneration or an additional price for the shortness of his crops. Dear years, from deficient harvests, are notoriously not advanta geous to the farmer. But after a short supply, continued during two or three years, has stinted or starved down the population to its own level, and after the high prices of such years had led to extended cultivation, there come two or three favourable years. Although the existing population will extend its consumption to the extent of its means of purchase, neither those means nor the amount of population can be raised at once to the level of the increased and bounteous supply. The far mers cannot hold their produce in their own hands; they must sell it to continue their cultivation and pay the demands on them. Neither can their produce be preserved for any length of time without waste and expense. In fertile years, therefore, prices fall in proportion below the increased supply, and below the proper price which the farmer should obtain for his in creased crop, and he is ruined, asin 1834 and 1835. There are natural effects; how does the Corn law interfere with them? The object and effect of that law is to raise prices above the level of all other countries; the consequence is, that in scarce years a greater importation, above the average, takes place than would otherwise be obtained, and in plentiful years, no exportation can take place to clear the glutted markets. From both the farmers suffer; they do not get as high a price as they ought to get in dear years, and they get a much lower price than they ought to get in plentifu I years. Those laws aggravate to the farmers all the evils which arise from the variations of the seasons. But for the Corn laws, the consumption of oar own popu lation would probably exceed the home sup ply, and then the only consequence of plen tiful years to the home-growers would be that their increased produce would displace foreign produce ; while in barren years there would be no sudden increase in the supply from abroad to deprive them of a fair remuneration. With a free trade in corn, prices here would be nearly on a level with the average prices of all the countries from which we should draw our supplies; consequently, in scarce year's, the in creased quantity above the usual supplies we could command would not be so much as now flows in, and in plentiful years far less would come, or our own corn might even go abroad. A comparative steadiness of price would be the result; the farmers would have a sure and cer tain rule to guide their operations by, farming would no longer be a gambling speculation, and if a few persons did not make great fortunes the bulk of them would be comfortable, happy, and opulent. We agree with the Herald— Steadiness in the price of food is as desirable for the agriculturists as it is for the consumers, manufacturers, and the traders ; but it must be a steadiness of moderate and not of high prices. We believe ourselves to be the best friends of the landed interest, in at once and boldly stating that prices cannot be maintained, that rents ought not to be regulated by them, and that when they do fall, if landlords do not so reduce rents as to prevent land being thrown out of cultivation, as we have shown has hitherto been the effect of low prices, no Corn-law can be long maintained. But steadiness of price, and moderate price, can only result from a perfectly free trade in food, and, therefore, we regard ourselves as the best friends of the farmers when we advocate the total abolition of the Corn and Provision-laws. We should not have thought it necessary to advert to Sir R. PEEL'S and Sir J. GRAHAM'S subscriptions to the funds for relieving the dis tressed people of Paisley, had the Tory morning journals not puffed off their contributions as Con servative merit, and drawn invidious comparisons reflecting on the Liberals. We pay no homage to that charity which " which marks the marble with its name ;" but, in the case of these states men, there is something more reprehensible than building a church to Fame instead of GOD. They are less inspired by a generous love of their kind, or a desire to deserve and possess the heartfelt approbation of their fellow-creatures, which is the best sort of fame, than by a fear of punishment. Like Sir BALAAM, they know they have done, and are doing, wrong ; and they give a few pounds, as he went twice to church, to Atone for their criminality towards the people. Both are great landowners, and both support a !aw which swells their own rent-roll by taking away the bread of the poor Paisley weavers, amongst others, to the extent of one or two thou sand pounds per annum. To appease their own conscience they-give back to those weavers the miserable pittance, being some hundredth part of their extortions by law, of 501. or 231. They filch a diamond from the people, and fancy they can reconcile themselves to GOD by going twice to church. Poor and wretched superstition, which the DEITY cannot see with approbation, nor the people respect. They are no longer to be bribed by returning them a small portion of their own, and calling it charity. They demand justice, and it would be more be coming in these statesmen had they issued an Order of Council to admit corn, flour, and bread, duty free--that is, without paying a tax to them—by which the Paisley men would have been instantly both employed and fed, than by sending their paltry mite to a public subscrip tion to make a crack paragraph for their party ;ournals. Some of the Anti-Free-trade Journals wish to eneratc an alarm for our maritime superiority, should we abolish our restrictive laws on trade. Foreign vessels, they say, would then carry on our trade, our seamen and ships would perish, and the security of Britain and her maritime superiority would come to an end together. If we could be amused by a glaring inconsistency concerning a policy which affects the happiness of millions, we should laugh at the Tories—whose perseverance in maintaining in theory the scan dalous system of impressment, after peace has for many years practically extinguished it, never to be revived, has banished our seamen by thousands from the service of their country—now pretending, to be alarmed for our maritime superiority by the abolition of a kindred injustice to that :of im pressment. The Tories, however, must be ig norant. of th e sources of our maritime supe o no ri ty— w hi eb fortunately wisdom—or fo r theythe nation, does ever dream o f attempting to aot depend n their weaken or destroyto maintain restrictions o n trade unde r the pretext ournavtahat lfreeade would greatness. A map of the world tells us at a g l ance tha t no great empire has a sea board eq ua l t o t h e islands of Great Britain and Ireland. . Our po pulation is c omparativel any other peopl e , by th y more m e fact ofatrhitelmirelitvhinagn on the borders of the sea. Our colonial pos sessions, our vast foreign and coasting trade, the nurseries of our seamen, are th e growth and consequences of our empir being surrounded by the sea, a source of marl- time superiority to which all the other contri buting sources are as our driblets of rivers to the mighty ocean. A cruel policy, making sea going, which is naturally a glad and cheerful occupation, more hated or dreaded than trans portation, or a suicidal and wilful extinction of trade between this country and other countries, may endanger that sup . n eri a mi ti ty , if bu t t he no l t a h n in d.. nothin g else, ,we believe, can lords will only allow the population tionto extend our trade, and increase th num ber of seamen as much as possible, they may be sure that Great Britain will retain her pre eminence at sea as long as her configuration re mains unaltered. Some co untenance i s g i ven to t h e suppos i t i on of the Tories, M shipping ; by a recent increase foreign but what does that arise from ? It was given in evidence before the Import Duties Committee, that English shipowners are vesting their capital in foreign ships, because they can be built cheaper, and navigated cheaper than English ships. But why is this? Our shipwrights are as skilful as those of any country in the world, and our ships are navigated by fewer seamen in proportion to their tonnage than those of other nations. It is because our exorbitant discriminating duties - on timber nearly double the price of that commo dity, and our Corn and Provision-laws increase the expense of victualling our ships 20 or 30 per cent. Our Timber-duties and Corn-laws, and our Cocxnunx-cherished claim to steal the sea men, when he and his colleagues choose to make war, with various other devices which our law makers have fallen on to make sea-going hate ful, and building and navigating ships very costly, are the true causes of the comparative increase of foreign shipping, the true sources of our maritime weakness, and will be, if they arc suffered to continue, the effective causes of our national decay. The encouragement of our seamen, a subject which is taken up by the Shipping Gazette, is just now a proper object of national solicitude. It will be best accomplished by setting our trade free, and abolishing the hard usages to which semen are exposed. An increasing demand fur their services, and the increased respect shown them by the Legislature, would elevate them in their own opinion, and make them better and wiser. We do not agree with our Contemporary, whose reasons will be found in another part of The Sun, in desiring for our mercantile marine any recognised standing. Our merchants, bank ers, and manufacturers need no recognition by the Legislature to add to their respectability or their usefulness; neither do our merchant sea men. Let them find protection, not grievous oppression, from the laws of their country, and they will take a dignified station in society cor responding to their usefulness. Wonders will never cease. Yesterday DANIEL O'CONNELL was made a RIGHT HONOURABLE Privy Councillor, and elected Lord Mayor of Dublin! We guess that the darling project of Repeal has got rather into a cleft stick. With the left hand the Liberator will advocate the Repeal of the Union—while with the right hand the Lord Mayor of Dublin will assert the dignity of the laws, and maintain the integrity of the empire! Here is a pretty kettle of fish for the LORD LIEUTE NANT'S dinner! Well, the spirit of contradic tion has at length found a resting place in the patriotic consistency of O'CONNELL, whose extraordinary public career has been one con tinued breach of precedent—the first lawyer in Ireland, the only one to set all Tory rules at defiance! Verily, none but himself can be his parallel. From the list of subscriptions for the suffering work-people of Paisley, inserted in our adver tising columns, we are gratified to observe that her Majesty the QUEEN has most generously availed herself of the very earliest opportunity for recording her name as a subscriber to the fund. We believe this subscription has been given spontaneously and unsolicited, and from such an act her MAJESTY'S subjects have another proof of the deep interest she feels in their wel fare, and of how very far it is from her wish that any of them should either be suffering or in want who are able and willing to provide for themselves. We most sincerely hope that this spirited and liberal example set by the QUEEN will not be lost sight of by the Nobility, but that the great majority of them will be ready to fol low the example of their SOVEREIGN in showing their readiness to mitigate the sufferings of the manufacturing classes, by devoting to that pur pose a small portion of the immense wealth at their disposal. The following letter from Mr. M'Luon, dated from the prison at Utica, was unintentionally omitted in our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. Its publication will serve to dispel the calumnies of the New York Sympathisers relative to the alleged boasting about the de struction of the Caroline. As our previous im pression of his character was derived from them, it is gratifying to us to have it in our power to submit the following corrective to our readers : "II am now in another act of this interminable Wieod case.' When the curtain will drop, and the last scene of the farce be played, I cannot say. You will have seen the whole of the proceedings in the papers, and are doubtless sick of hearing of the affair from day to day, so I need not trouble you with the de tails. I may say briefly, that when the Judges decided against the application I made, I at once decided on having a trial as early as possible, to get out of this dreary confinement. My counsel were and are appre hensive of the result—they think I may be convicted. I don't think it is probable, although such an event is within the bounds of probability. The Patriots will bring as much perjury to bear as they can, and doubt less they can procure any amount to order, to suit, on the frontier. If I had moved for a writ of error to bring the case into the Supreme Courts, it would have had to go into the Supreme Court of the United States, and then I should have had to await a decision until July next. My health has suffered much from the close con finement ; such procrastination would kill me ; and it is such a lingering death that it is irritating and annoying.. " I was urged by friends and fellow-countrymen iu New York to draw up a narrative of the M‘Leod case,' as it had excited so much attention, and was so very im perfectly understood by all patties, and publish it, as it would exonerate my character from the foul stigma that had been affixed to it by the witnesses, the press, and by the President, through Daniel Webster's letter to Mr. Fox, of the 24th of April, 1841—viz., that I had, on the American frontier, bragged of having been at the de strnetion of their pirate-boat. I need not say to you, the vile calumny is an infamous lie.' You know me too well to have ever given the slightest credence to such a report ; but millions believe it, because it has never, I suppose, been satisfactorily contradicted. The fact is, I was arrested on the 24th of September, 1840, at Man chester, at or about noonday. In less than fivo minutes there were at least 100 people congregated aroun d me. I mildly d en i e d having any hand in the destruc tion of their boat ; but when before the Magistrate, in the midst of a crowd, and bantered and taunted with cowardice in denying the part they said I acted in the affair, I said, I was not there; had I been, I should not deny it. I considered the destruction of that boat a laudable and praiseworthy action, and I will not lay claim to an honour to which I have no title.' I have ever held the same language. On the 12th of November I was again arrested, at mid-day, in that rascally den of iniquity, Lewiston, and immediately a crowd was col lected around me. If I had ever made such a boast to their country, it was susceptible of proof. No proof of such a boast has yet been given. One or two perjured villains swore they heard me in Chippewa boast of hav ing been at the destruction of the boat; even they swear they never mentioned such a story till after they heard of my arrest. " You have not seen all the stories they have got up against me, to prejudice the world against me. I have been held up as one of the greatest scoundrels that draws the breath of life. The whole Press has been arrayed against me, with very few honourable exceptions; their members of Congress and Assembly of this State have abused me in all manner of ways; and yet they keep saying I shall have a fair trial ! " We have read with alternate feelings of in dignation and disgust the explanations which MARIA CHRISTINA MUNOZ ex-Regent of Spain, wife of Life-guardsman MUNOZ, and very dear confederate of Louis PHILIPPE, has deigned to give to the demand of the Spanish Ambassador, as to her participation in the rebellion in Spain, and particularly in the attack on the Royal Palace. The malicious and malignant effusion, in which CHRISTINA states that she " did not ad vise the unhappy events"which now afflict Spain, is concocted with an evident design to fan the embers of rebellion to make known to all the disaffected in Spain how cordially the Ex-RE GENT sympathises with them; and, above all, to represent the present Government of Spain as one against which it is highly meritorious, on the part of all Spaniards and Catholics, to take up arms. H er sympathies are not confined to her self. She has; a tear for the POPE and the priests, wh om she despoil e d o f their property when Regent of t h e fueros, which s h e declared abol i she d w h en s h e Kingdom, and for the Basque promulgated the Constitution. Senor OLOZAGA, by his diznified firmness, has succeeded in severing all connection between Spain and CHRISTIN A MUNOZ. He has unmasked the treasons concocted in Paris. He has compelled CHRISTINA MuN oz to declar e herself—to stand before the world branded with the confessed in famy of symp a thi s i ng with the ruffians who, at dead of night, filled the Palace of her infant VP ' - "%ii, 0 1 4, ''' . 1.,.._ . !* 4. 1 , 11 ',ce . 4 A 0 T,.._ ,,, • fb A, - via -'A ' - y 4 Lixi!_:: ' -.< f „', , f 7 4(A ~e,' i f M ot, ;,-,.. 0 - ~.,. ~ . , . ~.,. * f i • ›,k4....%• mo. !Li it (‘;A,In .- • , LONDON WEDNESDA Y, OCTOBER 27, 1841.

After vomiting forth the grossest and foulest calumnies against the Established and Constitutional Government of Spain, CHRISTINA Munoz thus proceeds indirectly to avow her deep partieipation in the crimes of the insur gents : . - - After having plunged her in misfortune the Revo lutionists are striving to extort from her lips an in ) ,iquitous condemnation of those who, in resisting Ithe most odious tyranny, have confidently invoked her august name. In their blind delirium they aspire to nothing loss than, to obtain from her Ma jesty the sanctioa : of all the acts and all the scan dals of the Government of 'Madrid, which rekindled in Spain extinct discords, and they wish, moreover, that her Majesty should lay the responsibility of this new confla gration to the noble defenders of the laws indignantly out• raged. Their frenzy prompts them to call on her Ma jesty to avow herself indirectly the accomplice of those who have the shameful impudence of calumniatin g , by charging them with regi c id a l p ro j ec t s , t h e men who have courageously taken arms to deliver august and helpless orphivss from the hardest bondage. We require no further confirmation of the guilt of CHRISTIN A M UNO Z." Wh a t s h e with holds the documents found upon the person of the unfortunate Don DIEGO LEON have already made known to the Spanish Government. Urns PHILIPPE must now either command her to quit the French capital, or confirm Spain in the well-founded belief, that he conspired with her to overthrow the Government of ESPARTERO. There is no middle course now left for him. In repelling the calumnies of the Ex-Regent, the Spanish Government is no longer bound by any scruples of delicacy from withholding any part of the charges which it can substantiate against CHRISTINA Aluzioz. She has forfeited every title to the respect due to her as mother of the Sovereign. She abandoned the guar dianship of her children for the embraces of a menial; and instead of being grateful to the brave patriots who winked at her infidelity while shedding their blood in the defence of the throne of her daughter, she only thought of how she could most effectually pour all the wealth of the country into her own coffers. While the brave soldiery were fighting knee deep in snow, without shirts, shoes, food, or shelter to keep her and her daughter upon the throne, she was hoarding and investing mil lions of money in foreign securities for the future enrichment of her paramour. Not a real would she invest in the Spanish loans to provide rations for the brave army fighting in defence of IsABELLA and liberty. TO CHRISTINO MuNoz, therefore, Spain could never owe gratitude. To her, as a professed sym pathiser with the insurgents in the Northern Provinces, Spaniards owe hatred, and, could it reach her, punishment. ESPARTERO has proved himself equal to the defence of the national honour and interest, and we trust that on this occasion lie will not fail to vindicate the high claims of his Government to the loyal support and devotion of the Spanish people. The .whole of the French Journals of Monday have been received. The Moniteur publishes the following telegraphic despatches : " BAYONNE, OCT. 23. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " The Regent left Madrid on the evening of the 19th. lie was at Briviesca on the 22d, and was expected the same day at Vittoria. The National Guard remains alone at Madrid, which is tranquil. There has been no other execution than that of Leon. The other persons arrested have not yet been tried." _ " TOULON, OCT. 23. " GENERAL BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " The garrison of Algiers has successfully accom plished its second re-victualling of Milianah. It beat the enemy at Chaabel Gotta. According to the con feSsion of the Arabs themselves, they had more than 200 killed, and a great number wounded. We have lost but one officer and two soldiers, and have had 30 wounded." The Pltare des Pyrenees, of the 22d, states that a num ber of generals, of officers, soldiers, and peasants, who have shared in O'Donnell's insurrection, took refuge in the French territory, on the night of the 21st, to the number of 300. On the same day 200 men, commanded by Colonel Izquierdoe Aide-de-Camp of General O'Don nell, entered France by the Alducles, and General O'Don nell himself, with 600 men, entered at Sare, for which place the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne started immediately. It has been discovered that some rogues, none of whom are detected, have, by means of a chemical process, re duced the value of gold coins to such an extent, that a Napoleon of 20 francs, on being weighed, was found to latve lost 5 francs worth of its original metal. The Seine has risen considerably during the last week or ten days. The water is now on a level with the edges of the wharfs, and large boats are unable to pass under some of the bridges. Tshe river is exceedingly muddy. One of the two French workmen, who were arrested in Belgium on suspicion of being accomplices of Quenis set in his attempt on the Royal Dukes, has been delivered up to the French authorities, as we have had occasion to :state, and has since been conveyed to Paris. His name is Grandrieux. The other, named Gigot, has been expelled from Belgium, and, as the Independent of Brus sels states; has gone to London. On Saturday afternoon, an old invalid rushed out of the house, No. 36, Rue de Courcelles, next to the hotel ot? the Queen Maria Christina, with a drawn knife in his hand, exclaiming," It is I! it is I who have killed her!" and, before any one could seize him, plunged the knife twine into his own breast and fell dead. It was found that he had murdered the wife of the porter, a young wo man, who had only lately lain in of her first child. He.r husband had left her but a few minutes before. The cause of this horrible tragedy has not been ascertained. The Leipsic Gazette has a letter from Alexandria, of the 27th ult., stating that an English officer had passed t hrotigh that place with 4,000,000 of Spanish piastres, part of the ransom of Canton. We have seen nothing to confirm this in our last advises from Egypt, which are of the same date. A letter from Tabriz, of August 15th, in the Franc urter Journal, says :—" The Persians are looking with impatience for the arrival of the English Ambassador. A discussion has been held between the Russian Am bas mlor and the Schah's Prime Minister. His Excel lene.y has imperiously demanded the payment of sums due to his Government, adding, that he had received hist; .actions to facilitate an arrangement of the differ ence s between Persia and England, but that the manner in e hich this had been effected would not receive the ease nt of the Czar. The scarcity produced by drought Las been so great that the inhabitants have been obliged t s ell their children to procure bread, and the Mussul s sax Is have purchased them, although they are born t istians. The Russian Government has sent orders to- its Consul to redeem these poor creatures, and 200 of them have been already se t a t lib er ty. They will pr obahly be sent into Russia. The Shah has brought six -. regiments from the province of Adjerbidjah. He in ter:sled to undertake an expedition against Asterabad, but: was forced to relinquislat from want of money." 'I he Genoa Steam-boat Company has, it is said, sue ceei led in raising the Pollux, sunk in the Canal of Piom binc a An inventory of everything found in her has been take , n, and the Russian Princess, who was one of the past ,gingers, will be rejoiced at learning that her casket of jt .well, which is among the articles, is all safe. A . cannon, cast in the foundry of M. Poucet, at Liege, 3 lad a after a model from the old French naval guns, sets .wring feet in length, and weighing 2,486 English was lately proved with 61 discharges, increasing ually from a rather low up to a very high charge. At the sixty-first firing the gun burst. The result was highly satisactory, as, previous to it, no cast-iron can non at Liege has ever sustained more than 59 discharges wit: tout bursting. The grain of the metal was found to be s •ffry fine:and close. Th e Boulogne papers state that the American mer chant/ ; brig, Sparkles, of New York, Capt. Beale, with a car go of wine and dye-wood from Cuba to Hamburgh, was i 'riven ashore at Etaples on the 14th instant. The crew were all saved and the cargo landed. An English brig, in ballast, the Rosell of Aberdeen, Captain Reid, was d riven ash ore on t h e 18t h , b etween Ambletense and Cape Gris-nez. All the crew was saved, and the vessel WE 3 e xpected to be got afloat. Numerous bales of cot ton,. which were thrown overboarn from the Marechal de Villlars steamer, from Havre to Dunkirk, during a gale, have. been picked up off Boulogne. A French sloop from. Treport was driven on a bank at the entrance of the barber ur, on the 21st inst., and but for the timely aid of the lit :e-boat all the crew would have perished. Th. , James Watt steamer arrived, a few days ago, at Havre from London, after having been three several times . driven back by the weather into Ramsgate har bour. The steersman was knocked down by a violent sea brrs Ilsing over him, whereby his back was broken, and Iv, ,died while being carried ashore at Havre. The ship aid not sustain the slighteSt damage, and the above wee thsa only accident during 'her tremendous passage. The Ce t ete :in states that Ramsgate harbour is full of vessels which have put in there in distress, and that there cr re twenty mariners in the hospital who have been injured during the gales. The St. Malo papers state that the oyster-dredgers on / • that ei )ast have taken 4,000,000 oysters from the bank of S. Mark, but tkat the English fishermen have not failed: in taking their share, as several of their boats were still ox the bank on the night of the 13th inst. A C ouncil of Ministers was held on Saturday at St. Cloud, immediately after which couriers were sent off by the Mit, ister of Foreign Affairs, to London, Vienna, and Maelxicle Itny,al Ordonnance has been issued granting to the Mir L i s ter of Fin ance an extra ordinary credit of ip,ooof. to meet some urgen expenses of the Court of Peers. Che Berlin paper s men tion, as a circumstance which cat - iscit some sensation in that capital, that a Captain-in the Prp 'ss ial i c a ri nY , of the Jewish persuasion, who is the only Captain in the service of that religion, has just re ceived the decoction of the Red Eagle, 4th cla6s. The son of Paganini is now at Rome, endeavouring to procure a revision by the Pope of the judgment in virtue of which the Sardinian Government has hitherto refused to authorise the inhumation of his father, accord ing to the rites of the Church. - The Toulonnais of the 21st says—" Orders have just been again given to the vessels which compose the-divi sion of Admiral Casy, to be in readiness to put to sea This morning, at eight o'clock, the Admiral hoisted hi s flag on board the Sutferen ; and in all probability that vessel, with the Marengo, the Jupiter, and the Scorpion, will sail from Brest to morrow. " The two ships of the line, Jena and Neptune, which were probably intended to make part of the division, will short join Admiral easy at Brest. The reason of this delay, is doubtless the absence of the Neptune, which was to leave Tunis for this port on the 13th, and for which the Jena will wait here."—illoniteur, Oct. 25. A letter from Tabriz, in Persia, dated Aug. 15, con • tains the following passage : " The drought in this country has been so great that the inhabitants have been forced to sell their children to procure bread. They have been bought by the Mussel men, though they belonged to Christian parents. The Russian Government has just ordered its Consul to re deem these children. Two hundred of them have already been restored to liberty. They will probably be sent to Rnssia." Some Journals had stated that M. Dupuch would not return to his diocese of Algiers. This prelate has written a letter to the Guienne, in which he says that his departure from Africa is fixed for the end of November next.— Gazette de France. ST. BRIENp, OCT. 20.—A letter from the coast to the Francais de l'Orient (published here) says :—" Our fishermen have already taken above four millions of oysters on the bank of St. Marc, though the fishery has not been very active : but it seems that the English are still resolved to have their share in it, for on the night of the 13th English boats were seen still fishing there.

An eighteen-mile race took place yes,terday in the Barnet-road, starting from the Swiss Cottage, between a fine young man called the North Star, and Paddy, whose pedestrian acquirements are well understood by the sporting world. The men started together at half past two, and were alongside of each othr at the con clusion of nine miles, which was performed in fifty four minutes and a half. In the course of the next three miles Paddy broke down, and his antagonist won, completing the entire distance of eighteen miles in two hours and about two minutes. The match was for 1001., and the North Star was the favourite. NEW ASSURANCE AND LOAN BANK.—In another part of the paper will be found a prospectus of a new Company, under the title of the " Achilles British and Foreign Life Assurance Association and Loan Bank." According to the plan laid down, it will differ from other insurance offices in this respect, that in addi tion to the business of life assurance, loans will be granted on the policies. A deed of settlement will forthwith be prepared for limiting the responsibility of the Shareholders and regulating the affairs of the Asso ciation until an Act of Parliament can be obtained for a charter. There is ample space for such an association. The profits of some of the existing Companies are very great, and a new association, founded on sound principles, might be beneficial, not only to the Shareholders but to the public. Much, however, will depend on the cha racter and property of the . parties forming the Com pany ; and when application is made to Parliament for a Charter, we have no doubt the originators of the Achilles Assurance will bo prepared with satisfactory proofs that they are entitled to confidence. Yesterday a great crowd assembled in the Wal worth-road, to witness the funeral of the late Dr. An drews. The procession consisted of twenty-two mourning coaches, each containing six individuals. the relations and friends of the deceased, and eight other carriages, belonging to members of the congregation. It arrived at the South Metropolitan Cemetery, at Norwood, about four o'clock, when the funeral service was read in the Chapel, which was crowded to excess. The corpse was removed out of the Chapel into the burying-ground, where it is temporarily interred until the Sutherland Chapel, Walworth-road, (which was being built for the deceased) is completed, when the body will be removed from the Cemetery to be re-interred there. The Rev. Alexander Fletcher is to preach a funeral sermon on the occasion, at Beresford Chapel, Camberwell, on Sunday next. LAW APPOINTMENTS..—It has been stated in the Mail of Friday last that Mr. Pennefather would be immediately. Chief Justice in the room of Judge Bushe —that Mr. Jackson is to be Solicitor-General, and Mr. West the new Sergeant. This will tear away the last shred of the Peel mask, but it will also give us a fair opportunity of giving Judge Bushe his retiring pension. We guessed that this pink and posey of plausibility would discoVer reason for retirement when the light of a Tory regime came upon him. This timely discovery may cause the righteous Judge the gratification of seeing his own epitaph in his life time. We wonder will the Tory press discover that Mr. Jackson is a moderate in politics !—Dublin 1 Wi 7 .1 Fr , lib A tel i 4 tit 0 AND iptibtic optiato;a. " Who runs may read." rOREIIGN. Four severe shocks of earthquake were felt at Con stantinople early on the morning of the 6th inst. Many houses were thrown down; and a number of persons killed. The Sultan has been making magnificent presentS to the English, Austrian, Russian, and Prussian Ambas sadors, and their ladies. Lady Ponsonby received a parure of diamonds from the Sultana,Valide worth 8,0001. sterling. • Twenty-two villages have been destroyed in Egypt by the overflowing of the Nile. A younger brother of the present Chief of the Druses in Syria is on his way to England to be educated in one of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. By letters from Persia we learn that Sir John M'Neill reached Tabriz on the 9th inst., anti was extremely well received. The mission would in a few days set out for Teheran, where preparattons had already been made for its arrival. Dr. Riach, who, during its absence from Persia, acted as agent of the British Government, is now here on his way to England. The mercantile classes in Persia were in the greatest distress in consequence of the fall in Europe in the value of silk, in which most of them were more or less interested. They could not fulfil their engagements, and were asking of their creditors time as the only refuge from bankruptcy. According to the Gazette of Upper Germany there is no longer any idea entertained of a marriage between a sister of the Sultan and Said Bey, youngest son of Me hemet Ali. The Sultan had presented Said Bey and Sami Pacha with richly ornamented sabres of honour. A letter from the Hague states that the King of Hol land has just granted a Representative Constitution to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, on a liberal footing. The Prussian State Gazette mentions that Count Stro gonoff has resigned the post of Minister of the Interior, which he held ad interim in the Cabinet of St. Peters burgh, and has been succeeded by M. Perowski. The only important intelligence from Paris is the cor respondence between the Spanish Ambassador and Chris tina Munoz, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The jesuitical explanation of the Regent can only excite universal disgust. P 11723M1C OPINION. The Morning Chlonicle takes the Home Secretary severely to task for the gross inconsistency of his opi nions, which is quite superfluous, seeing that Sir James Graham's apostacyis so generally known, and its motives so generally appreciated, that no one cares a straw what his opinions are, or how often he changes them. In another article on the Corn-laws our contemporary has these observations :—" Our readers may remember that, on the opening of Parliament, in his speech on the amend ment to the address, Sir Robert Peel, turning round to the great body of his supporters sitting behind him, emphatically intimated that if the landed interest gave him its support on the condition of maintain ing all the details of the existing Corn-law, he was not prepared to accept that support. The declara-, tion was not received with " tremendous cheering ;' and in some measure to allay the anxiety which he had created, Sir Robert intimated that he did not contem plate any more serious alterations than some improve ment of the mode of taking the averages, and the sub stitution of one sliding scale for another. The social circumstances of the country, are such, that Sir Robert Peel will be compelled to do something, even if he had no intention of meddling with the details' of the ex isting law. And that he is actually preparing some Corn-law scheme seems to be very generally under stood."—We predict that Sir Robert 'Peel's Corn-law scheme—when he does condescend to bring it forward— will not be such as to tax very severely the gratitude and admiration of his countrymen. It will lay them under no very oppressive weight of obligation to him. It will be an exceedingly snug, moderate scheme, whose chief feature will be, that it will do monopoly no harm, and the people about as much good. In a word, it will be a Tory boon, conceded in a Tory spirit, and with a due regard to the class-interests of Toryism. In reference to the present distressed state of the work ing classes, the Advertiser says :—" Every one, however, acquainted with the situation to which all classes in the country are now reduced, is of opinion that the Legisla ture must give the initiative to an ameliorated system, or that the country will he justified in pushing its claims on the upholders of existing monopolies to an extent af fecting even the tranquillity of the social atmosphere. The sufferings of the people forbid procrastination. Rents can no longer be allowed to absorb the earnings of the poor. We can do without a titled aristocracy, but a 'starving population cannot do without bread. The opinion is a false one that a nation is great through the wealth of its land possessors, rather than through the in dependence and plenty of its land-tillers. Many a country has degenerated with rich nobles and impoverished lower grades of the community ; but no country has ever done so under a pros perous condition of the productive classes."— We agree with our contemporary that the country can do without a tilled aristocracy. It is a luxury that may add grace to the social system; but it certainly does not add much to its strength or efficiency, and we are yet to learn that it improves its moral tone. But though, as a nation, we may exist and prosper, even without a pa trician order, no one can be fool-hardy enough to assert that we can be prosperous, while the majority of the working-classes—the thews and sinews of our atrength— are in a state of absolute destitution. The question has now come to this pass, that the people must have bread, whether the aristocratic landowners give their permission or not. The Post thus comments on some leading articles that appeared recently in the Morning Chronicle :—" That man is little better than a traitor, not only to his country but to every important principle of religious, political, and social morality, who continues to show any sort of countenance to the repeated falsehoods and brutalities of which that organ of the baser sort of Whig-Radicalism is continually guilty. Not content with fomenting every angry passion of our own populace—not content with publishing day after day truculent falsehoods, in order to make the labouring classes regard the nobility and gentry with fierce and implacable hatred, it is also the effort of the Whig-Radical organ to embroil this nation, if possible, in foreign war."—There is a great deal of virtuous indignation expended here to little purpose. But the truth is, the Post is galled, because the Opposi tion Journals now and then blurt out truths which are exceedingly unpalatable to the Tories. This is the head and front of Whig-Radical offending. It tears the mask of Mini.derial hypocrisy ; and for doing this, the Post pronounces it to be guilty of falsehoods and brutalities. The Herald contains the following observations, sug gested by Mr. Buchanan's letter to the Duke of Welling ton on the subject of admitting grain from all countries into Great Britain :—" Although we have repeatedly urged the claims of Canada in this respect on the atten tion of the British Legislature, and would be inclined to make any just concessions to extend intercourse between the mother country and this fine colony, as well as to facilitate its settlement by British emigrants, we must object to such concessions as those proposed in favour of the United States' grain, transmitted through Canada, because we conceive that a stimulus would thereby ra ther be given to cultivation in the republic, than in the colony. .Were Mr. Buchanan's proposition adopted the far west of the Union would at once supply all the de mands of Great Britain through Canada. That British possession cannot at present compete with the six north western States, and the simultaneous bestowal of such advantages on those States and Canada would swamp wheat culture in the latter." It will be seen by the following passage that the Times has again mounted its favourite hobby, the New Poor law:—" What agricultural county is there in England from which numerous families of paupers have not been compelkd to emigrate, and seek their subsistence either in foreign lands or in our own manufacturing districts, not willingly,' but because those who should have sup ' ported them at home would not help them when at home ?' Who has not beard of the emigration agency, of the Poor-law Commission e rs, an d their celebrated correspondence with the Gregs, the Ashworths, and other Liberal gentry of Manchester. Scared by the alternative between starvation and separation of families on the one side, and allured by golden promises of high wages and constant em ployment on the other, multitudes of poor creatures have exchanged their green fields for the dense and smoky cellars of Manchester, Stockport, and Bolton, first to swell the tide of over-production, and then to starve and furnish arguments against the Corn-laws to the Chamber of Commerce."—As the Times once observed, while speaking of the resignation of the Earl Grey Ministry, " the Queen has done it all," so now, - while referring to the distresses in the manufacturing districts, it cries out, " the New Poor law has done it all 1" It is not, it seems, the Corn-laws that oppress the people, but this grinding law, which compels multitudes of poor creatures to exchange their green fields for smoky Manchester cellars, there to starve and furnish arguments against the Corn-laws. But if the Corn-laws were repealed, then multitudes would not be starving ; but on the con trary would be weekly realizing a very fair remuneration for their labours. The Dublin Pilot says :—‘ While all things threaten, with a war in China, and no secure peace in India— while Ireland feels sore, and England suffers, away go our rulers to their revels, without devising one plan or intimating one hope of reconciling this country, or of re lieving the distress—the growing distressof England. It is not to be wondered at, under such circumstances, that the people begin seriously to look to themselves. In Leeds, the other day, a most important demonstration has been made. John Bull seems awaking from his apathy, and will act." Referring to the Marquis of Londonderry's late speech against the Corn-laws at Newtownards, the Tyne Mercury remarks as follows :—" Monopoly is altogether at vari ance with excess of production. The agricultural inte rest might much better be delugedwith foreign corn than overwhelmed with their. own. In the latter case the corn is to be sold to a sinking country, and an exhausted trea sury; in the former, with a repeal or a fixed duty, the influx would represent manufactures exported in propor tion, and funds accordingly recruited and increased. The Noble Ilarquis will not even let his tenantry pursue a middle course. He seems resolved that they shall op pose the repeal, or the fixed duty, from first to last I" VIOXLIr—TILADE—COIVIBIERCE. The debts and liabilities of the Canterbury Union Bank are estimated at about 120,0001., while the Bank assets and sums derivable from the estates of the part ners are likely to realise from 60,0001. to 70,0001. Debts to the amount of 50,000/. were proved on the first day of meeting (Monday), when assignees were chosen. STATZSTICS.
