It is the boast of the Tories that Sir R. PEEL'S I;overnment is stronger than any Government ice the days of Mr. PITT. We are not dis posed to deny that assertion, and the stronger it is the more conspicuous will be the success of the principles which will certainly triumph ever it. Sir R. PEEL has been placed in office by the monopolists ; he is their creature, and he takes power to uphold their monopolies. He cannot succeed, and we hazard nothing in making the it6sertion. • lie and they aim at two incompatible things. They want more wealth for themselves and for t',te State, and more wealth for the people. At the same time they will not allow of that free strenuous exertion, by which alone the tv,alth of the State or the people can be in cree.sed. Greater burdens than industry now is•?ars it cannot sustain ; to feed the people, s;ltisfy the monopolists, and keep up the revenue of the State at one and the same time, is not possible ; but as the people must be fed, and as il,t.lustry cannot bear additional burdens, the monopolists must give way. Sir ROBERT PEEL is in fact already suspected by them, because they are sensible of the neces sities of his condition. He is said to be, though we give no credit to the statement, preparing to rat from the principles he took office to support, We know that he will, and must rat; but he will not as long as he can help it; and nothing has vet happened to influence his mean and coward soul. Generosity and magnanimity arestrangers t o him. He will condescend to repeal the Corn laws when he finds them ruining the em ph.c. He will give nothing, therefore, to justice _:_ n othing to the people, while they are pat i en t • under a merciless law ; but he „ill grant all to fear, and all to his love of place and power. He cannot yet be alarmed; he is as yet quite secure in office, but he ha s avowed impossible principles, and th e t i me w i ll come w h en ?h en Sir R. PEEL must again rat, or h e down the whole fabric of p o li t i ca l will pull d o society. are symptoms of disp u t es Already there amo-irst his fbllowers. The spoil, though large fld heavy, is not sufficient to satisfy ti Irish Protestants to t all. 'labia • ‘viloni Sir ROBERT owes so much of his suc begin to complain of neglect. Neither - 1 ::-AUFORT nor LONDONDERRY are satisfied. At "f' , is rousing Ireland same time O'CONNELL England is not still. The ric.inst th e Mi n i s t r y. distinction between obedience to the Royal authority, and obedience to the Tories who usurp it, and. have obtained amastership over the QUEEN, very generally made. Fiercely assailed as the t-i soon will be on the one hand, arid not powerfully suppOrted by the contending illonopolists, who are arrayed around it, on the other, it will soon, however strong it may be, i)ccau•q! it is not fillinded on justice, have to give wily, and Sir ROBERT, to maintain his place, met rat and become a fret -trader. We I ready to admit him into our 1 rang.s, and pro ,•:i him apinst present allies, when he shows of conversion ; but we do not look for in till he begins to feel the vast difficulties of attempting, to govern the country in oPPO - to political science and Christian morality. S' me pc r ons have ben dispozed to look t) - Ai r. ROEBUCK as a leader of the Radicals. With g: eat talents, considerable eloquence, and un daunted resolution, the Hon. Gentleman has already displayed such a want of discretion, that people will never confide in him. He might nave allowed Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD to pro- iv ceed in silence with his Amendment to the I Address, if he thought it was imprudent to sup port him. He might have suggested an altera tion in the Poor-law without making the propo sition to place all its • 'vast powers over the persons of paupers, and the property of rate payers, in the hands of the Home Secretary. He might last night have shown his contempt for the Times ; he might even have brought :the case of that journal before the House without losing his temper, and might at least so have managed his case as to ensure a seconder for his motion. Questions of privilege are generally attentively listened to by the House, and he must have failed very much in bringing his case under its notice, to make ititurn a deaf ear to his state ments. Nobody can defend the attack of the Times. It was wanton, uncalled for, and altogether per sonal. It was not dictated by any defence of a principle. Mr. ROEBUCK offends the Times, like every other person in a similar situation, by possessing power. That is an unpardonable of fence. Mr. ROEBUCK has now only added to its triumph, and strengthened his enemy. He has given it additional notoriety; he has paid a mortify ing homage to its power, and he has failed to inflict the smallest wound on it. The Times will have reason te-day to laugh at Mr. ROEBUCK. Such indiscretion on the part of the Hon. Gentleman, who seems, we are afraid, irritable from disease, will have a considerable influence on his future position, and prevent people placing that confi dence in him which in general they think they must place in some one. The Morning Post of yesterday places its de fence of the Corn-laws on a ground which is worthy of notice. We quote the paragraph : If it were true that no principles but the principles of trade were fairly applicable to the Corn-law question, then there would be an end of the controversy. The Corn-laws are undoubtedly a restraint upon trade. They are unquestionably a limitation, and a very important limitation, of its freedom. But other things more im portant to this nation than absolute and universal free dom of trade demand that native agriculture should be, up to a certain point, guarded from the probable effcct of unrestricted foreign competition. Our party does not try the question of the Corn-laws ,by the principles of free trade, for we admit that the Corn-laws are in direct oppo;ition to these Rrinciples, It is not because we think - we can reconcile the Corn laws with free trade that we support them, but it is be cause we have grounds of policy to urge in their support which completely overbalance in their Weight and co• gene' , the disadvantage of making corn an exception to the operation of free trade principles. Free trade recognises nothing beyond the policy of obtaining what you want, wherever you (the indici v dua engaged in traffic) can obtain it best and cheapest at the moment. Upon merely mercantile principles there is nothing to be said against the sound policy of this plan. But they who have to watch over all the wants and in terests of a nation, and not only their immediate but also their prospective wants and interests, must look to something far more important than that which upon mere mercantile principles is best. They must look to the employment of the people—to the security of a suffi cient supply of food in luturo as well as in prcesenti— and -to the guardianship of great capital vested in concerns which are not purely mercantile. And be cause they hold these considerations in view, and deem it politic to allow a greater weight of importance to them than to the principles of free trade they uphold the Corn-laws. If the opponents of the laws will fairly meet the sup porters of them, they are bound to show either that the .considerations above stated are less important than those which belong to the universal maintenance of the prin ciples of free trade, or that the ebjects we have set forth, namely, security as to the national supply of. food, em ployment of the people, and guardianship of vested capital, are as well promoted by free trade as by pro tection of native agriculture against foreign competition. For these admissions this paragraph is valuable. " The Corn-laws are a restraint upon trade." " The Corn-laws cannot be reconciled with free trade." " Upon merely mercantile principles there is nothing to be said against the sound policy of free trade." So far the Post. Now no one doubts that commerce is beneficial to man kind. It forms a great part of the natural order of society. It is as much ordained by the GREAT CREATOR of man as the appetites and wants to which it owes its origin. Mercantile principles are nothing but the principles or rules on which beneficial commerce must be carried on. They, therefore, are parts of creation, like commerce itself, and are ordained by the wisdom of Pro vidence. But commerce concerns some of the greatest and best interests of the human race. The Post admits that the Corn-laws contravene these interests, and we must therefore conclude, were the other interests it refers to really in con tradiction with these important interests, which they are not, that there is discord in the crea- tion, and that the ALMIGHTY had given his creatures contradictory rules to walk by, or bad imposed on them contradictory laws. We hold the admission that the Corn-laws contravene mercantile principles, which are admitted to be sound policy, to be fatal to the Corn-laws. But the Post flies front the solid interests of mankind, which are connected with commerce, to principles of greater weight than the prin ciples of free trade. The Pro-Corn-law men undertake to " watch over all the wants and interests of a nation," and not only their imme diate but prospective wants. " They, therefore, must look to the employment of the people —to the security of a sufficient supply of food in futuro, as well as in prasenti, and to the guardianship of great capital vested in concerns which are not purely mercantile." On these grounds the Corn-laws are defended. They give employment and secure a supply of food in future, and protract capital not mercantile. We hope we may be indulged in examining these assumptions, and if our examination should go beyond the Corn-laws, it will be because the statement of the Post naturally and necessarily involves the general principles of legislation: The Pro-Coro-law men " must look to the em ployment of the people." That is the first proposition. If it be valid, it applies to the whole people, not merely to the few persons em ployed in agriculture. The Pro-Corn-law men undertake, by adopting that principle, to pro vide employment for all the people, and they are consequently to blame for the want of em ployment, which is at this moment felt in almost every branch of society except that of manufac turing modern machinery. They arc responsible on their own showing, fur the condition of the starving hand-loom weavers. Mr. MA LTHUS has clearly • demonstrated the absurdity of the State taking on itself to provide em ployment for all the people, though the wisdom of the masters of political science seems wholly unknown to the gentlemen who write for the press. The vast responsibi lity which is involved in the Post's statement, and the present condition of many labourers, ought to make the Pro-Corn-law men start back with affright from the load they have most unthinkingly taken on themselves. But when the Post says that the Legislature is to look to the employment of the people it can have .formed no correct notion of the knowledge of the Legislature, and of the means of employ ing the people. Much more than half our popu lation are now engaged in mannflActures, and they find employment in them from the number less beautiful contrivances which facilitate human labour. Before the steam-engine, the Spinning mules, or the locomotive en g i ne were b roug h t into use, how was it possible for the legislator to know any thing of the number of people he would employ and feed ? How is it possible for him even now, as the applications of machinery are infinitely various, to tbrm the least notion of the quantity or the nature. of the employment they will provide in future for the population? How, too, can he tell that there are not at this moment machines coming fbrward which• may extend manufacturing employment as much during the next fifty years as it has been extended during the last fifty? He knows nothing what ever on the subject. And to make laws with a view to provide employment for the people, orae to itn e independently of numerous other objections ignorance of is making laws in complete of the subject on which the laws are made. That, unfortunately, is a frequent error, or fre quent crime of legislators, who are far more ignorant than the most wretched quacks, who exhibit at a village fair the vast phenomena they pretend at once to arrange and settle. At the same time, supposing that the legislator had any knowledge of the means of employing the people, and supposing that it waSliisduty.to interfere in any way with their employment, which we positively deny, how does impeding them . in getting food add to their employment? The first and immediate effect of the Corn-law is to put a stop to the interchange of the cottons of Manchester and the cutlery of Sheffieldtbr • the corn of Poland and the United States. It puts a stop, therefore, to the employment of manufacturing cottons and cutlery, and it will require more ingenuity than the Post possesses, to prove that the Corn-law 'may at any future time create a quantity of employment equal to that it interdicts. Supposing it has that effect, by what right does the Legislature curtail employ ment i❑ Sheffield and Manchester, to add to it in Sussex and Kent? By what right does it take away a day's labour from a hand-looin weaver or a knife-grinder, to giVe it to a ploughman or a ditcher? It has no right so to act, particularly when it is ignorant of the consequences, and the ii weaver and grinder may properly Stigmatize . it as an unjust Legislature, which forfeits its claims to their respect and obedience. At the same time it is certain that the attempt of the Legislature to add to the whole amount of employment by Corn-laws has not had any such effect. What may be the result of the pre sent census cannot yet be known ;_ but the last census showed that the increase of families em ployed in agriculture was as • nothing compared to the increase of families employed in manu factures. In fact, all the improvements of which we hear so much from Agricultural societies tend to diminish employment in agriculture, and con sequently, while the Corn-law obviously curtails employment in the manufacturing districts, it has not added, and does not add, to employment in the agricultural districtS. The produce of one labourer is in all cases the market for'another, and unless it can be shown that by preventing ' the growth of manufactures the amount of pro duce to he exchanged for the produce of the agriculturist is increased, it is impossible that stopping employment in the manufacturing dis tricts can stimulate agriculture, or increase in the smalles degree the employment of the agri•• cultural labourers. The Post further says " that the Legislature must look to the security of a sufficient supply of food in futuro as well as in prwsenti." To that doc►sine similar objections apply. What does the Legislature know about supplying the people with food, •either now or hereafter ? Chemistry is continually revealing new princi ples of cultivation, and the mechanic arts are continually bringing new powers to bear even in agriculture. What did the Legislature of the year 1790 know of many of the processes now employed in agriculture; such as the use of bone-dust as a manure? But those processes, and diligence in applying them, with skill to invent improved processes, are the great means of securing our ever-increasing people a supply of food in future. If the Legislature now know nothing of the processes that will be invented within the next fifty years, how can it make laws to promote them? The supposition that blind groupings in the dark can in any way tend to the national welfare, is an insult to rational beings. It is one of those routine or traditional opinions which are received from generation to generation, and are no sooner sub jected to examination than they are discovered to be plain and palpable errors. There is an idea lurking in the doctrine of the Post which must be dragged into day. What does it mean by security ? Not the continuance of the skill of agriculturists, and of their never failing- desire to apply it. To have any appre hensions on that score would be to violate the in structive belief, by which one class of producers continually labour in perfect confidence that what they require and do not themselves produce, will, in the meantime, be produced by another class. What the Post is afraid of, or pretends to he afraid of, is that at some time or other some rival politicians here and abroad —some TRIERS and PALMERSTON, some ABERDEEN and NES SELBODE, may quarrel and choose tointerdict the exchange of spun and woven or forged ar ticles for bread.. To be provided against that future possibility they interdict the exchange now. They trcat man, with all his feelings and interests, as made for their stupid system, and they crush the commerce which would knit na tions together in the bonds of peace, and thus annihilate the wealth which would make nations happy, in order to maintain their own power. Let them take care lest, by pushing to extremes the power which men have hitherto respected, and the systems they have rather obeyed than understood, they destroy themselves. If men must be enslaved to give a fancied security to politicians, men will doubt whether politicians he not injurious rather than beneficial, and they will ask themselves can they be dispensed with? The third statement of the Post is, that free trade, which it admits to be a wise policy, must be sacrificed to give security to capital not vested in concerns purely mercantile. What does the Pro-Corn-law writer mean ? How will any kind of capital not mercantile be rendered insecure by the.abolition of the Corn-laws ? The capital in vested in land consists in the farm buildings erected on it, and the labour invested in it. How Will any alteration of the Corn-laws destroy farm houses or stop up drains ? Not one particle of the capital invested in land would be destroyed by a perfectly free trade in corn. It might be one of less exchangeable value. At present that value, of which we complain, is raised by the Corn-law, which is - expressly passed to enable the owners of capital invested in land to obtain more of other things in exchange for it, and for its produce, than other men would freely give. The diminution of the exchangeable value which would result from the abolition of the Corn-law is only the consequence of the fictitious value given by that law. To assert that the Legisla- ture must maintain this fictitious value under the fine phrase guardianship of capital, is to assert that it must maintain the unjust Corn-law. If the Post have no' other reason to give than that, it ends where it began, and merely echoes the landlordS' arrogant words, " I will have the Corn-laws because I will." When the legislators set blindly about regu hating employment, securing a supply of food, and guarding capit4 they and the public semi to forget that they are subject to passions and impure desires, like the meanest of the people. It is very true, though very trite, that when they debate and argue, they are no more under the influence of pure reason than a com pany ,of ladies at Billingsgate. The victor rious party, in a legislative conflict, when it blindly plunges, with its dictum engrossed on parchment, into the unknown future, essaying to bind the yet unborn and unknoWn, only tbllows the dictate of its own desires and passions. It endeavours to make them the rule for the conduct of future generations. In the present case the fact is palpable. The law-making land owners knew nothing whatever, when they passed the law ; they know nothing now about finding employment and securing food for the pee- Ile. What they knew was, that they wanted higher rents, or wanted to 'prevent rents from falling ; they wanted to maiotaih a superiority over other men, and to gratify that want they passed the Corn-law. It had ne other origin; it has no other justification. It is their avarica engrossed on parchment, and is no more deserving the public respect than the . lust which led Mr. FAUNTLEROY to the gallows. The Post must find some other • grounds on which he defends a law opposed to the wisnpolicy of free trade, than the propriety of looking to employment, looking to the means of securely feeding the people, and the maintenance of the landowners' rents at their present level. We have received the PAtis Papers of Mon day, which are unusually barren. For some time past the change in our Ministry has formed the principal topic of discussion for them, but that seems now exhausted, and tliey have not yet found another subject of equal interest. The disarmament recommended by Sir ROBER T PEEL, which is so truly a Whig sentiment, and and so truly conformable to Whig policy, that it was much , more cheered by the Whigs than by the Tories, continues to be discussed by the Na tional, and is noticed by the Presse. Between the Liberal or Democratic Journals of France and England, each speaking, we believe, the sen timents of the people, there is this differ ence, that the former hate disarming, and are all fbr war, while the latter are all fbr peace and the cultivation of conunerce. The National sees, on the accession of the Tories to power—and in this takes a juster view than when it con demns disarming—the complete reconstruction of .the Holy Alliance of the Restoration against all that appertained to the Empire. The Presse, speaking, we believe the language oftthe Fina' • Minister, and expressing his. hopes, takes an op posite view. It says:— The political horizon was lately rather overclouded. The elections in England, and the advent of a Tory Cabinet, might have given. rise to some agitation abroad ; and with us the census had produced dis turbances which, though not serious, still kept the pub lic mind in a state of alarm. But now all appre hension, all uncertainty has vanished. England was never so tranquil. The Tory Cabinet proclaims the policy of peace, and as a man ife st to k en o f i ts intentions, gives the first example of disarming. By the Ist of January the British navy will be reduced one-third. On the Continent we behold the same spirit of peaceful policy. Prussia will disband the greatest part of her army, after the autumnal reviews of this year. We learn from Vienna that the Austrian army likewise will be considerably reduced. In France the Government will have the good sense to follow such salutary examples. The disturbances that had but lately agitated some parts of the kingdom are appeased. Never, in short, has our external and internal situation been more satisfactory, or held Out better prospects for the future. And it is at so favourable a juncture that our Three per Cents. are kept clown to 76, when only a year ago they were at 83, and at this very moment the Eng lish Three per Cents. are at 90. Is not such a rate in complete contradiction with the tendencies of public opinion and the state of public credit ? " The budget of 1843 is balanced. Our attention, then, is now drawn to the wants of the Treasury for 1841 and 1842. After paying' off the half-year due on the 22d • September, the Finance - Minister will still have at his disposal a sum of 100,000,000 francs, to which must be added the daily receipts and the produce of taxes. With this capital before him, the Minister, who doubtless knows how to count, does not think it necssary to listen to the advice of those who are Continually crying out to him to make haste. More confident, and ,better able to judge, than those adVisers of the future destiny of France, he hopes that our funds will rise to be more on a level with our resources and our great national riches. We are not, therefore, surprised at a delay of which others seem to complain. We rather rejoice to see it adopted, because it proves that Goverment sees no dark cloud on our political horizon, and fears no chances un favourable to our general prosperity, which would of course influence the price at which money might be raised when it shall think proper to make a loan. 'Know hoe to abide your time and good will come.' was the motto of a very able predecessor of M. Humana, Count de Villele; the maxim is, at the present day, both useful and easy of practice, for no situation calls less for haste and hurry than the actual state of the country." Whence the Presse may have derived its in formation of the reduction of our navy we are not aware, but if Sir R. PEEL take any such step, where will be the thunder of the Times, and the lightning of the other Tory Journals, which • have incessantly demanded a great increase of • the navy. The Presse is probably completely misinformed on this point, and has interpreted Sir R. PEEL'S verbal communication to the French Government, that the English fleet in the Mediterranean will be reduced, into a pro mise of a general reduction of our navy, which 'the circumstances of the country and the policy of the Tories will not warrant. Some excitement had prevailed at Paris, in consequence of a report that the French corvette Victoricuse had been seized on by the Spanish Government at Mahon, but the Moniteur has twice denied the statement, which seems there fore unfounded. The following are all the miscellaneous extracts which are of any interest:— M. Testi , Minister of Public Works, is -at present at Lyons, visiting the most remarkable of the manufac turing establishments in that city. According to the Magdeburg Gazette two capitalists of Leipsic have obtained from the Russian Government the contract for making a railroad from St. I'etersburgh to Moscow, the conditions they offered being much more favourable than those of the Russian speculators. M. Saglio, Deputy and Vice-President of the Council- General of the Bas Rhin, was coming &An the sitting of the Council, a few days since, at Strasburg, when he fell down in an apoplectic fit, and died immediately. The members, of the bar of Agen have pronounced their opinion against the legality of the Ordonnance for dissolving the Municipality of Toulouse. The Civil Tribunal of Caen has recently decided that the 29th of July being a legal fete day, no debtor is lia ble to be arrested upon it. Prince Milosh," says a letter from Vienna, " wore a most magnificent costume when he was presented the other day to the Emperor. He had a sort of tunic of sky-blue, .embroidered with gOld and pearls ; on his breast were the insignia of several orders in diamonds, and the Grand Cross of the Iron Crown ; on his head was a kind of Slavic kolpack of the finest sable, to which a heron's feather was attached by a magnificent diamond agratie ; by his side he wore the sabre, studded with gold and precious stones, which the late Sultan Mahmoud sent him six years ago. his appearance has produced quite a sensation in our Court circles." The Director of the central House of Detention at Clermont has contradicted the statement of several apart ments being prepared there for Mme. Laffarge. So far from this being the case, he states that it is impossible to allow her even a cell entirely to herself. Various papers in Normandy, and in the'north-east of France, state that the harvest has turned out much better than was expected. The graziers near Caen have had every reason to be contented. with the season. The Courrier de Lyons relates an anecdote of the Duke d'Aumale, who was marching some days ago near 'Chain forgueil, aczompanied by two of his officers at a little distance from the regiment. His Royal Highness was op pressed with heat, and thirsty, and meeting two country women carrying milk, asked the m f or some. He was at first refused, the women looking at the young dusty soldier with suspicion as to his means of payment. At length they gave him 'some, and the prince having taken a hearty draught, gave a piece of gold to the woman to pay for it. - The latter, nut having anything like s u fficient change, said to her companion—" This is always the way with these soldiers ; they offer you money which they know you cannot change, and so they 'get off without pitying at all, but I shall not be caught again," and she was going to give the money hack ; but the Duke, who had been laughing heartily at her, said—" Never mind, my good woman, keep it, and give me the change .When 1 come this way again." The woman ov erw h e l me d h er customer with thanks, and left him without the slightest suspicion as to he was. " At St. Petersburgh, on the 18th ult.," says the Pea Amt Gazette, " the audience at one of the principal theatres, perceiving a great light behind the curtain, an ticipated some grand .display of fireworks, and began to express their delight by clapping and shouts of applause. This delusive joy was only increased, instead of being converted into terror, by the appearance in front of the stage of an actor, vociferating the house was on fire ; for the people believed that this was a trick of the scene, and continued their noisy acclamations. To unde ceive them, the manager ordered the curtain'to be r a i se d and exposed to them the flames, which soon i nva d e d th e . . . .. whole building. The rush to the door became instantly so violent, that many persons were killed or dreadfully injured before they could make their escape. There was another issue, but it was closed, and in ordinary times is not to be opened• without the authority of the police-officer, who had not yet arrived. A man, seeing the urgeney of the occasion, rushed through, the flames, and, at the risk of his life, forced the way open, - and thus saved many from destruction.

The traject ft-Jill Paris to Versailles was made in 15 minutes, giving of 64 kilometres, or 39 miles 6 furlongs per hour. At Bleutlon the feeding pipe thence burst, and from .a velocity to Versailles little or no power was derived from the steam. The return was effected in 14 minutes, the . hole in the pipe having been stopped.

Oran agree in stating that the nomination of 1101ji Mustapha Ouli d'Osman Bey to the post of Bey of Mostaganem and Mascara, has given the greatest satisfaction to the tribes which live near the Chelif. " At the departure of the packet Mostaganem was full of Arabs, who came to pay their respects to the new Bey, and to offer him hostages as pledges of their submission. The number of the partizans who have already declared for him, was already sufficiently considerable for •him, if he had thought fit to put himself at their head and shown himself in public, but he had judged it best to wait for the return, of his brother, the Klialifa Ibrahim, who has come . to Algiers for the standard, the band of music, &c. with which it is usual for the Bey to be ac companied. Ibrahim, trho left Alg►iers on Tuesday, pro bably arrived at Mostaganem on the 25th of this month.

From the further inquiries we have made, we believe that we may affirm that this report is wholly un founded.

In pro testing, whether with or without reason, against the mea sures which alarm it, the Municipal Council of Paris only exercised a right.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS. The accounts from Madrid of the 21st ult. state that the anniversary of the conclusion Of the treaty of Berbera had passed over without 'any official manifestations, but that great prepara tions were making for the celebration of the an:- niversaty of the pronunciamento of September. The Government had not yet obtained the ad vance of 00,000,000 of reals. The Commerce states that the...orders for the French ships stationed off Barcelona to stand out to sea was probably caused by the French Go vernment wishing that they might not be obliged to take part in the celebration of the anniversary of the revolution of September. The Moniteur of Tuesday contradicts the re port of the detention of the war corvette Victo rieuse by the authorities of Mahon. According to accounts from Toulon of the 2d inst. eight ships of the line are to be placed in ordinary, and a squadron of six others, commanded by Admiral Casy, had been ordered to Brest, to be held in observation of events in America until the final result,of the affairs of IVl'Leod bedomes known. The fiscal measures of M. Ilumann were be ginning to encounter less opposition in the de partments. The National Guard of Villenou velle had been dissolved by Royal ordinance, for having expressed a decided opinion against them. The weather had again become fine in Paris. The accounts of the crops in Britanny and the north of France continued to be satisfactory. The price of wheat had increased in seven of the provincial markets of France, and fallen in thirteen. There was no chalig,e in the Paris market on Monday. MONEY and COMWERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There was very little animation in the English Stock Exchange to-day, and before the close of business prices bad a downward tendency.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—The duties levied on sugar and molasses in 1840 appears, by a return recently published, to have been four millions, eight hundred thousand pounds sterling, On spirits two millions six hundred thousand pounds. On tobacco three millions and a half sterling. The prin cipal consumers of these articles are 1143 middle and lower classes of society, a very large section of whom are unrepresented in Parliament, myself among the number. I would suggest that a strong and convincing demonstration of the impulicy of high duties may' be conveyed to the minds of the new Ministry by the lower and noddle classes of society abstaining as much, as pos sible (totally, if possible) from the use of these articles until our legislators see tit to materially reduce the cost of them to the consumers. When the revenue falls short a few millions. per annum more than at presmt a change in taxation will be inevitable, and John Bull may perhaps be able to purchase coffee at Bd. per lb., retail sugar at 4d., as at llamburgh, and spirits, tobacco, and other articles - in proportion. Let all zealous reformers speak through the revenue as well as through petitions , and public meetings on a large scale, and the result will be a pretty considerable fall in the prices of many articles. With regard to sugar I have began what I recommend — namely, to drink none in my tea and coffee, though I use it with acid fruit. A few years ago we paid 6d. per lb. retail for su gar , now nothing unde'r 9d. Your constant reader, Torquay, Sept. i, 1841. A FAMILY MAN. • We have before us a very large cherry, recently pulled from a tree in Captain'llrien's garden. From its sue, and the lateness of the season,. it has been a subject of admiration to several who have seen it.—Enni. sl "lie n Chronicle, j flia ll l i c Y. F E 1711'd AND Vubitt Opintoa. " Who runs may read." FONEXGN. The latest arrivals from Paris bring a repetition on Tuesday of the official contradiction in the Moniker of the reported detention of the Victorieuse at Mahon. The Toulon fleet is to be immediately dismantled, and eight ships of the line laid up in ordinary. The purpose of sending a portion of the fleet to Brest, announced yesterday, is said to be to watch the termination of the M‘Leod affair, and he in readiness should anything un pleasant arise from that. It is probably a part of the agreement for disarming in the Mediterranean. M. Ilumanu's fiscal measures are triumphing over re sistance, and to help him and theni, the Government has disbanded the National Guard of Vine Nouvelle, because it was against them. Fine w eather had returned in- Paris. In seven pro vincial markets the price of wheat had risen : it had fallen in thirteen. Vice-Admiral Dupotet had returned to Brest, from the Brazilian station, in the Atalante frigate. A letter from Beyrout, of the 2d ult., announces that the principal Chiefs of Lebanon and Palestine met on the 30th of July, and resolved to refuse the payment of tribute to the Porte, or to submit to the authority of Tahir Pa sha. The German papers publish a document dated Kirch berg, August 27, signed by the professional attendants of the Duke de Bordeaux, stating that his cure would be complete, and that he would bc., able to use his leg as well as if it had not been broken. The King and Queen of Prussia left Berlin on the the 30th ult. for Leignitz in Silesia. The Archdukes Ferdinand, Charles, and Maximilian ; •of Austria were also to repair thither, and the Emperor of Russia was uxpected. The King of ,Hanover had writtem to the King of Prussia to say that he could not attend on ac count of his grief for th&loss of the Queen. Orders have been given at Madrid to arrest Narvacz wherever he may, be found. A report prevailed in that capital that there had been a Sedition 'at Segovia, in which 'a company of infantry had partiipated. P,4417. 1 441N1MifT..a.N.Y., The loyal ASSent was last night given by dommission to the Earl of Scarborough's Indemnity Bill, and the Peers then adjourned to the 20th 'instant. All the new writs were moved fir last night in the Commons, on account of the Ministers taking office. We were surprised also to obserVe that Mr. 'Warburton vacated his seat fur Bridport. rerhaps sitting in a cur 14A assembly, or perhaps the-petitiOn presented against his return on account.of some infbrmality, may have led to his resignation. Mr. Aklerinan, Thompson also has vacated Sunderland,, in order tp prepare for Westmore land. Sir George Anson, too, retires from Lichfield, in order to preserve his situation in the household of Prince Albert. Mr. Roebuck complained of an article in the Timcs as a breach of privilege, failed in his attack, and added to the power of that formidable journal. Sir George Clerk signified' that when the First Lord of the Treasury was in his , place on the 16th inst., that Right. Hod. Baronet would state what course he meant to pursue. The world waits for Sir Robert Peel. The Administration of JuStice Bill was read a first time, with the approbation of both sides of the House, which adjourned to the 16th inst. PUBLIC OPXNION. The Times reads Mr. Roebuck a lesson of gentility, with reference to his alleged interruptions of Hon. Mem bers in the House of Commons. Our Contemporary is certainly well fitted to play the part of political Arbiter Elegantiarum, so rarely indeed is it that lie offends against courtesy in his attacks on public individuals ! We sub join his observations on this edifying theme :—" Nothing could be further from our habitual civility, or more at variance with our known respect for the humbler orders of our countrymen, than to represent Mr. Roebuck as a nuisance. Having been made an honourable gentleman by dint of getting into Parliament, that elevated person has an undoubted right to exercise the privileges of his sphere—we admit it. That those privileges entitle him to fling orange- peel at the principal performers, or to have a sally at the dress-boxes now and then, might not, if his class license were moderately used, be reasonably complained of. Chartists, such as he, arc chartered men ; and their occasional impertinences are both expected and endured. But Mr. Roebuck and his associates must not be permitted entirely to forget their station. That he should be allowed to injure everything at his mere pleasure is wholly out of the question. If he do not know his just limits and latitude, the lesson must be seasonably taught him. In point of personal and political influence, he is just as fit to take a lead in modifying the New Poor-law as the one-shilling , gentry of Drurv-lane."— So it seems that no one is to cry, " Hear, 'hear !" or " Oh, oh !" when a Tory Member is talking nonsense, except at the peril of hem.. denounced as a nuisance by the thunderer of Printing-house -square ! Every Whig and Radical must preserve a discreet—a sacred silence ; there must be no disapprobation of Ministerial sayings expressed ; if otherwise, the offendin(r party will be in stantly denounced by the Times. Our Contemporary, being a staunch monopolist, is naturally anxious to keep the monopoly of interruption in the hands of his friends, the Tories, prefe-ring the bray of a Borthwick to the " Oh, oh !" of a Roebuck. The truth is, he is jealous of the latter gentleman's interference with his pet grievance, the Poor-laws. In another part of the, same article the Times makes the following sneering allusion to Sit James Graham : "We do not and cannot forget Sir James Graham's highly objectionable demeanour as a Member of the .Commons' Committee fur inquiring into the operation of the new law. Unless that Right Hon. person have ma terially modified his views and temper in connexion with this subject, we can only anticipate that he would and wiil do everything in his power to prevent any essential improvement in its provisions and machinery."-It :was but the other day that the Times was lauding the great political sagacity of the new Home Secretary, yet now a shrewd doubt is expressed of the wisdom of his " views," in reference to one of the most important subjects that can engage the attentionof,the Legislature ! The Advertiser contains the following remarks on Poor-laws:— " No more tinkering of the Poor-laws will suffice to mitigate, to any perceptible extent, the seve rity of that distress which Sir Robert Peel admits to exist in the manufacturing districts of the, country. The Poor-rate is but a clumsy and inefficient attempt to com pensate by legal charity the injustice done to the indus trious classes, by depriving them of an equitable share of the produce of their labour. Jf laws are made to force the rich to-give. alms, surely they ought to be made to force them to give a just participation to active indus try of the wealth it is the means of creating. This would supersede the necessity of such a demoralizing de pendence as that which now exists bets' ee.l the poor and the rich, rendering the former disconttnnd and the lat terapprehensive.." _ _ Tile Morning Post advocates the policy of the Corn laws in this left-banded fashion :—" The Corn -laws. are undoubtedly a restraint upon trade. They are unques tionably a limitation, and a very important limitation of its freedom. -• But other things more important to this nation than absolute and universal freedom of trade de mand that native agriculture should be, up to a certain point, guarded from the probable effect of unrestricted fo;•eign competition. What would be said of the reason ableness of a man who should insist upon regarding the question of the policy of the laws against the publica tion of libels, blasphemies, and seditions, merely upon the principles of free publication ? Would not such a person be at once set down as very stupid, or so con tracted of mind as to be incapable of considering a large question upon broad foundations ? No one will dispute the importance of the general principle of free publication. Neither do we dispute the importance of the general principle of free trade."—And yet, though our Contemperary is perfectly aware of the importance of the principle of free trade, he supports one party who take office avowedly on the principle of restriction, and opposes another who advocate his own views on the subject ! He, who does not dispute the importance of free trade, sides with a Monopolist Ministry, who think it a sheer humbug I Such is party consistency ! We quote the fbllowing from the Herald The circumstances which have caused the late change of Ni nistrv—the serious position of public affairs to which the new Administration, after a long exclusion from office,' succeeds—the unusual time for the assembling of .the present• Parliament, and the necessity fur the holding of another Session at the beginning of the next year—all induce us to believe that, with the 'completion of those measures which are indispens a bl e t o the public service, and the passing of a few that are required by pressing necessity, the business of the present Session of the Le gislature will close. The demand which the new Mi nistry will thus make on the confidence ofthe country is , anything ha :extravagant ; th ey will ask no more t h a n every Ministry has' , poS sesse d from time in-upeinorial— the epportunity'!'of , a recess f rom public busines s to devise and 'ecimplete: su c h p l ans as they may d eem ne cessary for the Welfare of the nation whose destinies they control."

The Tyne Mercury - thus speaks of the prospects e- of the new Ministry :—" If Sir Robert should ad ultras, it is quite impossible he can manage The 'L G ' ( t i t :e t" Inuit. If he should go over to the moderates, the Govern ment. would oppose him to time utmost. Indeed, the Tory . papers are now openly admitting that he and his pro posed colleagues are very awkwardly situated. They seem to see from present circtin;standes-that their party will probably have but a very :short reign ! let this i 3 the party of whom we have been told that its members hold together in such a way that nothing could separate it, or split it, or in any way divide it—that it was tirm and impregnable—that like a hollow square of British infantry, it set all opposition at defiance. I Alas! their'S is, indeed, a very ho4ow square I" The Brighton Guardian contains the following re marks on the New Cabinet :—" In the present Cab the manufacturing and town population has no reps" sentative. It is therefore not only completely one-sidea as to party, but as to classes and pursuits. It is ruA only Tory, it is wholly landed ; it is not only wholly, landed, it is also anti-commercial. It is the MinistrY,OF elass'and a sect. The very names of those whel:Cain pose it are ominous. Amongst them are fanatie'S for high-church principles It is a 'Ministry of extreme opinions and a, narrow party. It must be looked . on hostile to dissent as well as trade, as the patron equally of fiscal and religious extortion." The Dublin Pilot observes :—" Peel 'is made. Prime Minister upon the principle of persecuting our country, and preserving menope.y over all. If. lie falsities the principle upon which he is chartered, he betrays trust, and will fall unpitied by both parties. Bittlie acts already true to his principle.
