We cannot comprehend why the Tory journals object to the Ministers retaining office till after the Parliament has met. They appealed from the condemnation of the old Parliament to the constituency, and they can only know the deci sion by the vote of the new Parliament. To retire before the Parliament makes known to them the answer of the constituencies, is as bad as carrying a cause into Court and not waiting to hear the verdict of the jury. The Tories blame them because they are not frightened out of Court by the pleading of their adversary. To 'give up Without meeting the Parliament, would be a craven acknowledgment of guilt. The presumption, according to the returns, is, that the policy of the Ministers will be con demned by a large majority. But who can be sure of that? Who can answer what may happen between the present time and the 19th of August? The weather has of late been most unfavourable. More rain, more cold weather, destroying the hopes of the harvest, might make the boldest Corn-law advocate quake for the peace of the, country, should he, under such circumstances, cn the meeting of Parliament object to take the Corn-laws into consideration. The last accounts from the West Indies, too, are by no means favourable; and were the prices of sugar to rise rapidly during the next four weeks, who shall venture to predict how much of the horror which Lord SANDON, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir CRAY GRANT professed last Session at the admission of slave-grown sugar would dis appear? But putting all such contingencies out of the question, by what means can we tell the opinions of the Members of the new House of Commons except by their votes ? It is not sufficient that a man is called a Tory, or that he has abused the Ministers on the hustings, to conclude that he will vote against their measures in Parliament. All assumptions and conjectures of this kind; founded on speeches, rumours, _reports, however valid for newspaper arguments, are not a pro per basis for the conduct of Government ; and be fore the Ministers resign, because the elections have gone against them, they must have legal proof of the fact by the votes of the House of Commons. On one of the last days of the Session Sir R. PEEL gave up his opposition to a vote of credit, on the promise given by Lord JOHN RUSSELL that _ the new Parliament should be speedi ly as sembled. It is plain, therefore, that Sir R OBERT PEEL, calculating, as no doubt he did, on ama- jority, expected t hat the Minis ters would meet Parliament, and would not resign their Ministe rial life to any less noble hands than th owsehoafttshier House of Commons, and c ertainl y not to the ignoble hands of newspaper ed itor s. R. Prp. expected, and what the reason of the thin ,• tito mman d s , Ministers will do. They will tal:e the first opportunity, they say, to demand the decision of the House of Commons, and hating heard it, if that be against their policy, they will resign, To give up from any unauthorised conjecture, us to what the decision of Parliament will be, would be unworthy of their dignity both as Ministers and men. Our readers mu`it see with some pleasure the alarm which th a announcement of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he means to ask for a clear and decided judr.nent on the policy of the Ministers, has creates amongst the Tories. Every day, every ho, or they are kept from office, is a greater tormelit to them than the sight of food to a famishing man which he dare not touch. Every day they are afraid may snatch the untasted cup from their lips, and they will know no peace till they are in possession. They are aware that the question now at issue is not some shadowy, intangible, unprovable matter like the future government of India, or the growth of Jacobinism, or the glories of war, or the blessings of the Constitution, in which cases prejudice stands a fair chance of triumphing for A long time over reason. The Tories know that the question at issue is something like whether two and two make four or only three, and they know that whenever the sum is worked out, the decision must be that it is four. They look with political horror at the feverish state of the grain and money markets, because they know that events are working against them, and that every day which developes the effects of our legislation, developes a truth inimical to Tory doctrines. We have for a long time been stunned by the Tory Journals with eulogies on the great capacity and. admirable judgment of Sir R. PEEL; we doubt fir justice more glan ever when we see him perilling his reputation and Government on such an assertion as that two and two make three. He re9 l .]:; makes such an assertion, when he boldly affirms that keeping food from the people does not cause want and distress. He was a contemp tib politician, however skilful a debater, when he stood out against the Dissenters and against the Catholics, and he was made utterly con temptible by his defeats; but it is tenfold more contemptible to stand out against the hunger of the people, and peril his reputation in resisting the demand for food. This is not sagacity, it is ridiculous and contemptible folly. But it is said that nobody knows what Sir R• PL EL will do. We know, however, what he will not do, if any faith can be placed in his reiterated opinions. He will not admit sugar, the produce of slave labour, into our market for consump tion ; he will not abate the tax now levied by the landlords on the bread of the people ; and he will not abate the discriminating duty on tim ber not brought from our colonies. He will not, therefore, relieve the people. He is pledged to tax them and starve them f.)r the monopolists. He is pledged to keep the price of sugar higi and the quantity short. He is pledged, what ever may be the seasons, to keep bread dear and the people hungry ; and a man who has so pledged himself, aiming to be the Minister of this great commercial country, in which all the striving of inventive genius, and all the exertions of mechanical skill, are directed to make all things cheap and plentiful, is not a sagacious man ;he is no better than a ninny. The Tories are sensible of the dangerous ground on which they tread, and are extremely anxious to obtain a firm footing by getting hold ofthe Government. Amongst our extracts from the Weekly Papers we insert the observations of the Spectator on " Clerical Anti-Corn-law Agitation," in reply to our remarks of last Monday. We know not why our Contemporary calls those a lecture, for we meant to argue the question ; and one of the strongest parts of our case, the conduct of the Catholic priests of Ireland, who must engage in secular disputes, our Contemporary omits to notice. We agree with the Spectator that Reformers have seriously complained of priests sitting in Parliament; but while they sit there we repeat that our Contemporary's opinion, however cor rect as an abstract proposition, does not apply to our society. As long as that practice is con tinued, and as long as ours is a PROTESTANT State, founded on religious and sectarian principles, it is idle to talk of priests not bringing religion to bear on secular subjects. They do frequently, and will; and till the State cease to be united with the Church, we shall look with some suspicion on every condemnation of other priests than those of the State Church for meddling with se cular affairs. But our strongest reason for dissenting from the Spectator on the point in question is, that we cannot degrade the Corn-laws into "a question of pounds, shillings, and pence." It is a ques tion of morality and of political science. Those laws reduce the people to poverty, and annually starve many out of existence. They withhold food from the people. At this moment the people cannot touch a grain of the many quar ters of wheat which we hope are in bond, without paying the enormous duty of 235. Bd. per quarter in order to keep up the price of wheat. In all the papers of the United States which reach us we find accounts of the abundance of provisions there, accompanied by complaints that the owners cannot send it to supply the wants of our starving people, willing and able to purchase it. The laws, then, actually keep food away from the people, and inflict on them hunger and death. When our Contemporary describes such laws as a question of pounds, shillings, and pence, he makes us assert that he has not mastered the subject. Further, those laws, by a round-about means filch away the property of the bread eaters, and give it to the landowners. The Legisla ture has no right whatever to make such laws. It is bound equally to protect the property of all. It has no more right to take the smallest fraction of the smallest coin of the realm from the pocket of a hand-loom weaver to swell the rent of the Duke of Bucx- INGRAM, than it has to cut off the head of that weaver as a trophy to grace the gates of Stow . The Corn 7 laws strike at the root of all law, and ,nay well engage the attention of Christian mi nisters anxious to preserve peace and order in society. It is under such aspects as these, and not as a question of—more or less—a fe w pounds, shillings, and pence, that the Dissenting ministers pro pose to consider the Corn-laws. They are stig matised as robbery—they are a gross violation of the right of property; and, having arrived at that conclusion, we can no more discuss them as a question of pounds, _ shillings, and pence, than we can say that the guilt of highway robbery depends on the amount taken by the robber. Our Contemporary says, "If the supporters of the Corn-laws advocated them, knowing—be lieving them to be calculated to impoverish the community and distress the poor, they would be fair objects for the clerical battery proposed to be opened upon them." We thank our Contem porary for the admission, because we charge the supporters of the Corn-laws with knowing and believing that they have these effects, and with maintaining the Corn-laws because they believe they have these effects. We boldly charge the Corn-law makers with knowingly endeavouring to starve the manufacturing population out of existence. We must believe that the law-makers are aware of the effects of their laws, and such being the effects of the Corn-laws, we assert that they are designed. But moreover we have heard Lord ASHBUII, TON, with our own ears, speaking on this subject, rail against converting the whole land into a workshop. We have heard him and other Noble Lords object to covering the empire with manu facturing towns. We have read too—as who has not?—in the Quarterly Review, the Standard, the Morning Post, and the Morning Herald, re peated denunciations of our town population. They are stigmatised as all that is vicious. It is ssid that the empire would be as well without them. - It has been suggested that the half of our cities might be razed with advantage. It is a common opinion amongst the advocates of the Corn-laws that the town population grows too fast; and we boldly charge the authors and supporters of th e C orn -laws, therefore, with know ingly and wilfully suP po r ting t hern a , n in d orderntcor increase see vent the growth of manufactures of towns people. They know that the process by which the growth and increase are prevented is through misery, fami ne , an d death ;and e a uthors and a d vocates of the vch a rge squalid t h e Corn-laws with knowi ng l y and maliciously en deavouring, by those la ws , to impoverish and starve the manufacturing p o pulation. Why else do they withhold food from them? _ . We r believe that the Diss ent i ng ministers who have called the Conference entertain the same opinions. At any rate, they k now that such are the effects of the Corn-laws; and we shall not, at present, say another word on the subject, because we regard the admission of our Contemporary as a full justification of that Con ference which he has condemned. i The Tories make t out that her MAJESTY i s treated as a cypher, because the Ministers d o n ot r ~ ign at the bidding of the Tory Journalists. At the same time she is impudently spoken of as an "accomplice" in the "guilt" of the Ministers. We suppose the Tories will next demand, should the Ministers not immediately resign, that she be dethroned for daring to allow the Whigs to keep out the Tories. The arrogance of the rampant faction already surpasses the de cencies of common life, and sets all loyalty at defiance. We call the attention of the public to . an in vestigation which took place at the Greenwich Police-office pn Saturday, which, on account of its importance, we have given at great length. It refers to a question which interests every sub ject of a free country, and we shall therefore, at the earliest opportunity, make some comments on the tyrannical conduct of the police and the unjust decision of the Magistrate. Besides the news from Paris of Thursday's date, which appeared in our Second Edition of Friday, there is very little intelligence in the French journals of Thurs day of any interest to the majority of our readers. The most disastrous are certainly the rumours generally pre valent of the failure of the crops throughout France. Of the political gossip in the French metropolis, our own Correspondent furnishes us with the following sum mary : (FROM OUR OWN CORRBSPONDENT.) PARIS, JULY 22.—The political organs of the French Mi nistry are busily occupied in defending the civil and military functionaries of Toulouse, who are so thoroughly routed there by the straightforward demonstrations of a few honest men, from the charges of pusillanimity and incapacity, heaped on them somewhat abundantly by the Liberal Journals, not only in the capital but in all parts of France. At the same time they are in a dilemma, for unless they admit their conduct to have been exceedingly faulty, they cannot explain the cause of their dismissal. A long letter has been published by M. Mahul, the obnoxious Prefect, in his own defence ; but it only makes him more ridiculous than he was before, and while it betrays the diabolical doctrines of physical force adopted by the Court party, it also shows that he was of all men the most unfit to be entrusted with any mission of half the responsibility implied by a Prefer:hire. hlarshal Soult is understood to have written a letter in no very me .sured terms to General St. Michel, military Commandant of the Toulouse division, acquainting him with his dismissal—a thing which he certainly would not have done had he not been in structed to that effect by the " Pensee immualle," which now misdirects the destinies of France from the throne of the Tui leries. Publicattention is now directed to the suites of this affair, andevery bodylis looking out for further mistakes on the part of a most unpopular Administration. Yesterday Louis Philippe held a review of the troops of the garrisons in the Place du Carrousel. He looked haggard and care-worn, and seemed anything but at his ease, even in the midst of the only portion of the nation on whom he can place any reliance. The army, however, is not much to be depended on ; and there is just as much danger of a military assassin springing into day as of a Republican one. An incipient con spiracy was nipped in the bud only a couple of months ago at Versailles, in an infantry regiment, just arrived from the south of France. A soldier had stational himself on the road by which the King was expected tq arrive one day, and had a pistol ready to discharge at } ::nn. He was attended by some of his comrades prepared tq aid him, but they were observed ; in formation was given 'so the police, and the suspected parties dealt with accor,:ing,iy. The fact of much di:affection prevail ing in the arr.iy is notorious. Amon other Court movements effected withal the last few days tias been the transferring of the heart of the Regent, Pitilip Duke of Orleans, who opened the last century in a man ner so fatal for France, and the remains of Philip Egalite, who closed that century so infamously—from their places of sepulture in Paris to the family vaults of the Orleans dynasty at Ureux. The body of the father of Louis Philippe, whose very name is a disgrace to the country and age in which he lived, lying by the coffin of the lamented Princess Mai ie—one of the brightest jewels that ever belonged to Bourbon blood—is a most unna tural and revolting collocation. Prince Albert's brother is over here, a suitor for the hand of the youngest of the Orleans Prin cesses, Clementine. Her Royal Highness is a very good natured and unaffected person, and per se would make a fitting consort for the line to the Duchy of Saxe Cobourg ; but the having to be connected with a family holding their fortunes and their political existence, by the insecure tenure of a life, now more than seventy years old, is not very good policy: and if the Prince wishes to get any money out of the pockets of his august Beau Pere, he had better be quick about it, and not wait for the division of the Orleans' property, which a chance bullet may some day or other suddenly bring to pa-s. The Queen Dowager of Spain is busy, furnishing her new resi dence of the Hotel Braganza, Rue de Courcelles —no expense is spared; and the apartments of her Majesty's morganatic husband, Munoz, are, we understand, fitted-up with great luxury and elegance. Her Majesty went to the Opera the other evening in mourning for the Queen of Hanover, forgetting that the Hanoverian Guvernment had never recognised that of the "beloved Christina," or the "innocent Isabella." Everybody here is handing about to-day a long-winded pro clamation from the King of Hanover, telling his faithful States that he is going to work them a bit—as Jar, indeed, as their patience will let him. A letter from Toulon, of the 17th, says—" The steamers Cameleon, Velose, Passive, and Euph rate left this port to-day for Algiers, where they will take on board the 17th Regiment of Light Infantry, which returns to France. The 33d of the line, which is in ga , rison in this city, is forming some batta lions, which are to be sent very soon to Algiers. Advantage ought to have been taken of the departure of the four steamers which have been sent to fetch the 17th, and these two batta lions should have been embarked in them. A little forethought would have saved the State a considerable sum." Letters from Algiers say that Mascara is going to become a very important point, and that it is in contemplation to transfer to that place the head-quarters of the division of Oran. It is likewise said that General Alustapha will occupy part of the country with his Douairs, and some French troops. It had been said that General Bugeaud remained at Mostagarem, to wait for the submission of a tribe. A letter of the 7th, from that town, gives us the following details on the subject;—" The chief of the tribe of the Chelif came lately to announce to the Governor- General that a number of tribes wished to make their submission to France. This was doubtless an effect of the late operations.. The Governor waited for the issue of the affair before he returned to Algiers. A column of 1,500 or 1,800 men, under the command of Colonel Tempourre, with five days' previsions, left this town on the night of the 3d in stant, in the direction of the Chelif, conducted by the above mentioned chief, who, when they had arrived at the place appoint ed, informed Col. Tempourre, after some parleying, that the tribes had not decided on submitting, and that news had just been received that Abd-el-Kader had sent a considerable .force, which would arrive on the following day. The affair having failed, our people took the wisest course, namely, to return im mediately to Mostaganem ; but the signal for . so doing was scarcely given, when a swarm of enemies began to harass the column. A warm engagement ensued, in which the Arabs must have lost many men. We had 7 killed, and 30 wounded; among the latter is Captain Montauban. " It is feared that this affair, which might have been of im mense advantage, if there had been on the spot a strong column to withstand the reinforcements sent by Abd-el-Kader, will have a contrary effect, by confirming the tribes in their opinion that we are unable to protect them against Abd-el-Katler."— Le Commerce.

The riots at Totlouse continue to afford materials for political discussiin in the French journals. Our views of this affair hive already been expressed with suf ficient explicitness, The Toulon Satiaelle draws an indifferent picture of the boasted improsement of the Arabs under the tui tion of the li''rench conductors of razzias. " Inces sant robberies and murders," says this Journal, " are still committed even in the vicinity of Algiers. Scarcely a week passes without some of our sentinels being killed, and it is impossible to go a hundred yards from the camp without an escort and outscouts." Sorely a better schoolmaster than General Bugeaud is still wanted here, or his lessons practically illustra:mg the horrors of indiscriminate slaughter, rape, roblury, and burning, have been wofully misinterpreted. Th 3 French Commander proposed to teach the Arabs to abhor their barbarous system of war, as the Spartans did their children to detest drunkenness—by a practical exhibition of its effects— but he was guilty of the egregious blunder of making those he would tea2.l the subjects of his experiments. Bugeaud is a good soldier, but he is neither a statesman nor a philosopher. If the weather continue as wet and stormy for the next ten days as it has done for the last fortnight in France, there is every prospect of a famine in that coun try. To deepen the gloom which hangs over the social horizon, the American papers report that the crops have entirely failed in the State of New York, the granary of North America. A letter from Constantinople of the 28th of June, gives an amusing account.of the interview between.Me hemet Ali and the Turkish;Envoy, Sahii) Muhib Effendi, relative to the arrears of tribute due to the Sublime Porte. The dialogues which we give verbatim, is emi nently characteristic of the tact and talents of the wily Albanian.: Sahib Muhib Effendi thus writes to the Porte : " Upon my cautiously acverting to the question of arrears, and stating how agreeable it would be to the Sultan—whom may God preserve—to receive the same, his Highness ex claimed, ' Allah ! Allah ! my memory is certainly failing me. By the Sultan's breath, I lave forgotten. Ah ! The arrears ! How many years are due ?' I was about to insinuate the quan tum according to august ]nstruttions, when the Pacha cut short my purport by saying, one, two, three years !' Mashal lah ! how can I remember such trifles ? Oof ! my dtefter (registers) are at Cairo. Ah, ah, Sahib Muhib Effendi ! ou are a prudent man ; lam your friend! You do not calcu late upon impossibilities, like those Kaffirs who attempt to cir cumvent the Porte. May they go to an exceeding hot place! lam the Sultan's footstool; all I have is his. I will send for my registers some day. But I cannot convert onion peelings into ingots ! By the Paditha's glory ! Hei ! Hei ! let more salutes be fired. His Yiaers think that I possess the Senke Fars (philosophers' stone), and that Egypt breeds dollars; Arrears oof! You said two, three, perhaps less.' Where upon I was going to suggest that I had said no such thing, but he nipped the thread of my speech by exclaiming, Allah ahkbar !'—God is great !we shall see. My registers will soon come. But that does not signify. Let more salutes be fired. You are an exceedingly discreet and gifted man, 0 Sahib Muhib Effendi ! We will settle accounts with the Porte in a twinkling. I would not withhold the value of a hair from my lord and master the Sultan, in whom be the blessings of in crease. My head is at his feet. Tell him so.' " Some of the insurgent Cretans defeated by the Turks recently, escaped in boats, and took shelter in the Austrian territory. Will it be believed that the Austrian Admiral Bandeira seized them, and delivered them over to the Turkish authorities, to be dealt with at their pleasure ? The fact seems incredible, but it is true. It was reported at Constantinople, on the 28th ult., that the Russian steamer from Alexandria had broken the quarantine at the Dardanelles, and in spite of the health officers landed her despatches at Therapsia. Seventeen cases of plague were at the time in quaran tine, of which six proved fatal. The Porte was prepar ing a strong remonstrance to the Russiam Ambassador. No one at Constantinople believes that Mehemet Ali is sincere in his submission to the Porte. This general incredulity is in itself fatal to lasting pacification of the East. The less Mehemet Ali is to be trusted the more it is the true policy of the Porte to appear on all occasions to place implicit reliance upon his fidelity. Reschid Pasha has been invested with the insignia of the Prussian order of the Red Eagle. As the Porte never grants the privilege of accepting such decorations to disgraced Ministers, it is surmised that Redschid Pasha will soon have his face whitened with the re splendent beams of the " world's magnificence," Abd-ul- Medjth. The sooner the better. The King of Hanover issued, on the 4th inst., a justificatory proclamation of his act in dissolving the Chambers, and setting forth his right to collect the taxes without the consent of the Legislature. His Majesty libels the Opposition. Did the laws of Hanover allow him to indulge in the vengeance dictated by his royal heart, there is not one of them that he would not hang with as little compunction as a butcher would a dog. We will give the proclamation on Monday. AT HOME. MISCELLANEOUS.

BRUSSELS, JULY 22.—M. de Saint Aignon, Prefect of the Department of the North, has just made a long visit to the line of works on the iron railway from Lille to the frontiers, which he has examined in detail. This Magistrate is expected at Valenciennes, where he is to make a similar inspection. It seems that the superior authorities are desirous that the works should proceed with as much activity as they do in Belgium, and that the Minister of Public Works requires the reports of the means of execution of what has actually been done, and of the activity of the several contractors for the works. The Journal de Smyrne says, that those who know the East will not believe the articles of the Courrier Belge, which announce the approaching fall of the Ottoman empire. Well, we say just the contrary. It is only those who do not know the East, that think the continued existence of that empire possible. M. Chabert Ostland, the most learned Orientalist in Europe, who was born at Constantinople, and who formed all the celebrated Orientalists of Austria, said a few days before his death, which occurred in March this year, " that the Ottoman empire would not long survive him; that it was already placed under Christian tutelage ; and would soon sink under the progress of internal dissensions, which have become inevi table." For the veracity of other facts we appeal to the unimpeachable testimony of the illustrious Ham mer Purgstall, the historian of the Ottoman empire, and the pupil of Chabert Ostland, who assuredly was not a visionary. BRUSSELS, JULY 23.—The average price of wheat last week was 19f. 52c., and , that of rye 10f. 59c. per hectolitre. The Moniteur Beige contains a Royal ordinance, by which the Order of Leopold is conferred on Mr. Robert Stephenson, engineer, of London, as a testimony of his Majesty's satisfaction with the improvements which he has made in locomotive engines, which improvements have turned to the advantage of the Belgian Iron rail ways. • • • The late heavy rains have done immense damage. Most of our rivers have overflowed their banks. The hayricks already in the field have been mostly swept away. On Sunday the 18th great damage was done in several places by a hurricane.

Sir Char , irs and Lady 13 agot and family- arrived a few days previously. Lord and Lady Maryborough purpose returning to town the becoDd week in the ensuing. month. MONEY - TRADE-COMMERCE. Accounts from the manufacturing districts state that the aspect of things is becoming every day darker. The failure at Vienna has paralysed the German houses, and domestic failures are of every day occurrence. The city of Gloucester is suffering under a full share of the general distress and want of trade. That place never was in so deplorable a condition. On Friday the steam-ship Dundee arrived in the river from Dundee, with 170 boxes of salmon, 92 live oxen, 65 sheep, besides a large quantity of manufactured goods. The North Star, from Inverness, arrived shortly afterwards, with a similar cargo. NAVA& AND MILITARY. The Port Philip Gazette speaks of the discovery of a large inland lake in Australia Felix, which is sup posed to communicate with the ocean, and forms a fine harbour. Experiments with percussion shells were renewed on Friday at Woolwich, at the instance of the Duke of Normandie. The experiments made by the Duke were unfortunately not very successful. A box, containing some explosive materials, was placed in the mound about six feet deep; but, according to the last accounts, it had not exploded, and the question is, who will have courage to dig it out. LAW AND POLICE. A woman named Jones was committed for trial on Friday at Union Fall, charged as the receiver of a W. note, stolen from a man described as a farmer, residing near Tunbridge Wells. Lle,foolishly allowed himself to be robbed of the note and six sovereigns by a " gentle man," who, to secure the property, was permitted to fold it up carefully, and instead of putting it into the pocket of the clodhopper, put it into his own. The trials which have taken place at the Devizes Assizes during the present circuit, give an awful picture of the degraded and brutal character of the peasantry in the agricultural and Conservative county of Wilis. The cases tried there on Thursday are quite horrible. Two men- were, fined_ 100/. each, at -the, Thames Police-office on Friday, for smuggling tobacco. , The quantity of contraband tobacco daily run from the fo reign steamers is said to be very great, and the Commis sioners of Customs have therefore resolved to enforce the full penalty in every instance. • Mr. Johnson, one of the Directors of the Asso ciation of Omnibus Owners, waited on the sitting Alder man at Guildhall, cn Eriday, to assure him that the pro prietors had resolved to put an end to the creeping system, and replace the plates in the inside of the omni buses, which, contrary to law, had in many instances been removed. SPORTING. Of the 143 horses handicapped for the Goodwood Stakes, 49 have been accepted. Out of these no more than 19 are likely to run. The Duke of Orleans' magni ficent present is given on the last day. ELECTIONEERING• The. Hon. J. Elliott, late Member for Roxburgh shire, has written a long letter to the Times, in which he denies that he ever made a speech or anything like it, which had beon inserted in that Journal, respecting the disturbance at Hawick. He at the same time gives a full account of the outrageous proceedings of the mili tary, about which an investigation is to take place. If all that is stated is true, the sooner the Marquis of Lothian and Sheriff Oliver Rutherford are removed the better. PUBLIC OPINION. The 'Morning Put vehemently condemns the Min isters" fCii; : staying in office till the Parliament has : a.ssem bled, because of the patronage and.. salaries they will thefebrobtain, showing pretty clearly that it is nothing but ithe - patronage and the salaries that the Tories hunker for. To get and obtain. them they will sub] nit to any_political degradation. Poor Tories ! their an xiety tocititcb: salary and patronage is so great that they suffer more i'rOni the delay than they enjoy from their victory. The moans of the . :Post are as 'heart-rending as th% ie of a worm-aftlieted child craving for food. The gor#ing Post, we are glad to eee, doe's not lay claim to papal infallibility. Talking of the old days of Toryism it says " That there was a great deal worthy of blame in the Tory practice of those days, we do not deny. Where is the man, or the party" asks the Post "'that a long possession of power, with great temptations to corruption, will not lead into evil ways ?" Thus far the Post apologises for its party, and declares them to be sitting on the stool of repentance, for walking in evil ways. The Times, says the Chronicle, will soon have an opportunity of ascertaining the extent to which Sir Robert Peel and the great body of the Tories are dis posed to get rid of the Poor- law, and perhaps that Journal will obtain a new light with regard to it, as well as to the Corn-laws. That veracious Journal still publishes daily all the falsehoods col lected by the Orange faction on the other side of the channel. it has fresh epithets every week for the priests and the people. The last are " The usurpers of titular hierarchy and the ragged peasantry of the bog." " Longford," the writer exclaims, in evident dread of a general conflagration, "echoes the war-whoop of Clare, and Louth and Carlow light their torches at the firebrand of Tipperary." Sir Robert Peel, says the Morning Advertiser, is not th first person who has found that it is easier to pull down than to build up. Tory Contemporaries have all offered Sir Robert a ready-made Cabinet, but in most of them the make is so defective, as to require them at least to try their hands a second time. Even while we write (says the Leicestershire Mer cury) the streets are filled with umbrellas and great coats. The moon has changed and yet it rains. Thrice in our lives have we ate damaged wheat, dear beyond precedent, and unhealthy. If we have a wet harvest, what provision is made to feed the millions ? Where is the stock in hand ? It is now become obvious, says the Brighton Herald, that the Reform Bill has failed in giving full, free, and fair representation to the people. The people must be moved again to obtain it. The Ballot must be had. " The cause of liberty," said Byron, " is like the flowing of the sea ; single waves recede, while the tide is still gaining." The result of the late elections, observes the.'West.Briton, is an illustration of this truth. The strength or weakness of the embryo Adminis tration, says the Hull Advertiser, depends upon the precise meaning it may attach to its pet phrase Conservatism. If it be to entirely discountenance social progress-it ensures an early termination of its career. A barricade of class interests will afford no protection against the pressure of public necessity. Such is the state of things, exclaims the Dublin Post, in the middle of a rainy July. The weather doubt less will continue as it is for a fortnight. The wheat crops must be seriously damaged. The corn markets are getting up rather rapidly. The sliding scale of duties fell a shillicg last Friday. It will fall another to morrow, perhaps more. The bonded wheat is kept back, and speculation on tip-toe. Bullion has already been exported to the Continent for wheat and barley, and the funds and shares are also very heavy. Such is the actual state of things. THEATRICAL Mr. Ducrow has made an arrangement with Messrs. Davidge and Jones for exhibiting equestrian and gym nastic spectacles in the Surrey Theatre. They will com mence on the 2d of August on the same grand scale as at Astley's Amphitheatre. COURT-FASHIONIIIILES. Sir James Graham, Bart., M.P., arrived at Dor chester, on Tuesday last, from Netherby. Is this to pre pare for the farce of an election ? The Count de Survilliers (Joseph Bonaparte) has left Genoa for Florence. The Countess is in delicate health. Lord Morpeth left town on Thursday for Dublin Castle. His Lordship is desirous of being present at Lady Somerville's marriage, which will be solemnised on Mon day next. RUMOURS 01' THE DAY. A Spanish priest much attached to the chase, when he was entering the church, one day towards the close of last century, was informed that a wild animal was in the neighbourhood, and away he went, called up his dogs, and set off in full chase. He has never since been allowed to stop ; and often on a fine still evening, when the sun is setting, his figure may be seen scouring along the horizon, while his pack of dogs follow after him in full cry. Bartholomew Dillon, Esq., of Ballyquin house, Kilkenny, who died on the 15th inst., voted for the Tories, West and Grogan, at the Dublin election, though he had been bed-ridden for several weeks. 'We suppose the assessor saw him in person as really as the Spanish peasant still sees the hunting priest. A rumour is abroad at Turin that his Sardinian Majesty is about to make a tunnel on an immense scale through part of Mount Cenis, to diminish the difficulty Of that route into Italy. A NEW SPECIES OF ANIMAL, DISCOVERED BY DANIEL O'CONNELL. " 0 sight of horror, ugly and deform."—MlLTON. " There was another thing also that interfered to mar that election (Dublin)—it was an animal called an Ass-ESSOR."-- Speech of Daniel 0' Connell at the Cork Election. Mythologians may talk mighty high, And extol their hermaphrodite Venus, With other such epicene fry As frighten the heart of Qum genus ; They may prate of their Satyrs and Pans, And sirens whose mouths make sweet bubbling, But there ne'er was a monster like Dan's, Which of late he discovered at Dublin. Geologians may throw by their spades ; E'en Iguanodon Mantell at Brighton Must be utterly cast into shades By what Dan and his Dublinites light on ; They may talk of their gneisses and sands, And monsters all human size doubling— But their monsters are nothing to Dan's, Which of late he discovered at Dublin. Now Dan found this monster deform In no granite, or quartz, or coal section, Not mummied or petrified, but Broad alive at the Dublin election. 'Twas no sheep in wolf's clothing, or goat's— No Catholic monk or confessor— But a biped who reckoned the votes, And goes by the name of Ass-ESSOR. " 'Tis an animal ugly," quoth Dan, " As e'er fixed a blot upon zoology, And to call him less ugly than sin 'Twould itself be a sin and false eulogy ; So I'll turn into showman," quoth Dan, " And go about Ireland—God bless her— ('Twill help out reform, will this plan), And show up this ugly Ass-essor." So from Dublin sped Dan with his tail, And went to the fair at Cork city, And there this Assessor he thwacked, Poor devil! and showed him no pity. " Though Dante's Inferno," quoth Dan, " Be a hot and voracious engulpher, Of horrified ugly ones—this Beats all that e'er roasted in sulphur. " Oh a far more respectable boy Was each of the Cyclops of Etna, Black-Brontes, Pyracmon, or Strops, Or their grandson, the blacksmith at Gretna ; Nay, a perfect Adonis to this (I swear by the mother that bore me) Was he whom Pub. Virgil declared To be Monstrum, horrendum, informe.' " Ah! Thebans may talk mighty high, And extol their hermaphrodite Venus, With other such epicene fry As frighten the heart of Qum genus; They may prate of their Satyrs and Pans, And sirens whose mouths make sweet bubbling, But they ne'er saw a monster like Dan's, Which of late he discovered at Dublin. The receipts of the principal railways in opera- tion for the last week, are as follows :—London and Blackwell, 908/. ; Hull and Selby, 909/. ; York and North Midland, 1,9F5/., ; North Midland, 4,573/. ; Birmingham and Glouces ter, 1,752/. ; Midland Counties, 2,911/. ; South Western, 7,338/. ; Birmingham and Derby, 1,259/. ; Great Western, 13.,8241. ; Greenwich, 890/. ; Northern and Eastern, 895/. ; Birmingham, 18,820/. ; Eastern Counties, 9771.; and Man chester and Birmingham, 349/. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.--NO official returns are yet given of the traffic of this line, but we hear that it has been about 1,000!. and 1,200/. for the two weeks it has been opened, which is quite as much as we ex pected, if not more, for the place to which the line is opened, that is, upon a heath almost without a road to it. But not withstanding this, we understand that two more of the coaches have been taken off the road and pat upon the railway. A statement having appeared in the Brighton Guardian, that the Company is sustaining great loss in consequence of the opening, we have made inquiry, and we have reason to believe the statement to be quite unfounded.—Railway Magazine. Vauxhall Gardens were again attended, on Friday evening, by a most fashionable audience, amongst whom were his Royal Highness the Duke of Brunswick, the Duke of Leeds, Earl and Countess of Glengall and party, Lord Powers clurt and party, Lord Marcus Hill, Hon. James Macdonald, Sir Charles Kent, Earl of Chesterfield, Count d'Orsay, Lord , Macdonald Earl of Eglintoun, &c. A SECRET.—' My dear Murphy," said an Irishman to his friend, " why did you betray the secret I told you ?" "Is it betraying yen call it ? Sure, when I found I wasn't able to keep it myself, didn't I do well to tell it t 9 ;mu body who could?" • COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert attended -Divine Service this afternoon, with part of the Royal suite, in the Chapel R o y a l, St. G eorge . Th e R ev . C. W. Knyvett officiated. Dr. Eivey presided at the organ. After service, her Majesty and Prince Albert, and the Queen of the IMgians ' rode out in an open pony carriage and four, attended by the_ Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Countess Vilain XIV., Marquis of Headfort, and Colonel Buckley. His Royal Highness Prince Albert returned about five o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The special train con veyed the Prince from Paddington to Slough in 24 minutes, and conveyed him on his return in 23 minutes. His Royal Highness, after his arrival at the Castle, joined the Queen in a carriage airing. This afternoon the bands of both regiments stationed here played on the Terrace of the Castle, which was thronged with an unusual concourse of visitors. Her Majesty and Prince Albert are expected to leave the Castle about one o'clock to-morrow, for Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Bedford. Yesterday was the birthchiy of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex paid a visit of congratulation to the Royal Duchess in the afternoon. Several members of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps, including Prince Ester hazy ; the N e th er l an d s Mi n i s t er , an d Madame Dedel ; the Russian, Hanoverian, and Wurtemberg Ministers ; Baron de Nieurnann, on a special mission from Austria ; Baron Schleinitz, the Prussian:Charge d'Affaires ; and also many of the Nobility and Gentry, called at Cambridge House in the course of the day, arid left their names for her Royal Highness. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Mr. George Edward Anson and Colonel Bouverie, arrived at the Great Western Railway station, at Paddington, on Saturday morning, from Windsor Castle. His Royal Highness immediately left in a carriage and four for Wanstead, to lay the foundation-stone of the Infant Or phan Asylum. His Royal Highness returned to Pad dington in the afternoon, and took his departure by a special train, on his return to Windsor Castle. _ _ The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princesses Augusta and Mary of Cambridge, attended Divine service yesterday morning in Grosvenor Chapel, South Audley-street. Lady Augusta Somerset and Baron Kncse beck were in waiting on their Royal High nesses. Viscount Melbourne arrived in town on Saturday morning, from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Marquis of Normanby arrived in town on Satur day night, from his residence, Sulgrave Castle, Yorkshire. A Deputation from the London Missionary Society, consisting of Mr. Frederick Smith, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. John Foulger, Deputy-Chair man, Rev. J. Arundel, and the Rev. J. J. Freeman, Se cretaries, had an interview with Viscount Melbourne, on Saturday, at hi; official residence in Downing-street, on the subject of the Marriage Laws in India. A Deputation from the Aborigines Protection So ciety, consisting of Mr. Robert Young, Dr. Hodgkin, Messrs. Robert Bell, James Whiting, and F. M. lanes, Secretary, transacted business at the Colonial office on Friday. _ _ Despatches from Sir C. Metcalfe, Governor of Ja maica, and also from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, were received on Saturday at the Colonial-office. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Saturday Eveting.) New York papers one day later, to the 3d July MONEY MARKET AT THE SWELL BOARD.—The business done was very small, the amount transacted has been very in significant, and the brokers have generally come off losers. United States Bank shares, 184 to I; at Philadelphia, 19 to 194. No alteration in the exchanges ;no political news. A Jamaica mail has arrived by her Majesty's packet Shel drake ; she brings 20,000 dollars , sailed from Jamaica 18th June. We find that in Barbadoes the cry is still, " The drought," and in British Guiana " Emigration." From Barbadoes, May 26 :—" A long continued and afflictive drought, the like to which has not been known here for many years, has reduced many parts of our flourishing garden of the west to the condition of a barren wilderness. Two short crops of sugar, our staple production, one of them exceedingly short, have succeeded the three largest crops that were ever reaped in Barbadoes. What the next crop will be, it is impossible yet to make a calculation." By the schooner Caroline, which left Santa Martha on the 10th instant, accounts have been received from Bagota of the 10th instant. We learn that Colonel Posada, commanding the Government troops, routed, near Nieva, the flower of Oban do's army, composed of 800 men, of whom 500 prisoners and wounded fell into Posada's hands. General Morguera had reached Bogata with a strong division of 1,700 men ; he left 1,200 between Cuchata, for the purpose of carrying on operations on the coast. Another division was at Chingnana treating with Rio Harpu and Santa Martha. We have received Sydney papers to the 10th April, they are void of interest. We have received Montreal papers to the 30th June. Markets—Flour—The operations in this staple has been to some extent since our last. quotation, but no advance has been obtained, and sales are freely made at 275. 6d. Exchange—Bank of British America are drawing on London at 10 per cent. ; Montreal Bank on Scotland, 9i per cent. ; Drafts on Upper Canada, 3i to 4 per cent. The Weather.—Within these last few days we have been visited with refreshing showers of rain, which have already had the effect of improving the appearance of the country. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 23.—The demand for the trade this week has been extremely limited throughout, but holders not offering more than a proportionate supply, re serving their stock for a favourable opportunity, has in a great measure sustained our last week's quotations, for all de scriptions. Exports of American have been daily in market, and find difficulty to get at old prices ; the better classes, owing to the comparative scarcity, have taken 2,000 bales American, and 400 bales of Surat. Speculators, 200 bales American and 150 bales Egyptian. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 23.—We have no thing to remark on the state of our market to-day. Gratal Junction, 202 ; North Union, 81 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 201 ; North Midland, 6S. We have a number of arrivals this morning from Jamaica, Sydney, Montreal, and the United States, but they do not bring any news of much interest.. _ The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were flat and lower. We hear that orders have been sent to various parts of the Continent for corn to the amount of one million pounds sterling, in anticipation of a bad limiest. Consols continue steady at the leaving off price of yesterday, 89a 4 for Money, and 89L for the Account ; Three per Cents.

The papers received from Trinidad this morning reach to the 9th June. The number of emigrants arrived in the month of May was 397, making the total amount frGm the let January 1,450. The weather has this mouth been favourable for sugar making on a majority of estates. The crop is now finished, and it has been far from what was expected at the commencement of the year. This, we think, must proceed from the effects of the very wet weather last season, which chilled the cane stools, and retarded their growth ; and never has the agriculturalist been so deceived in the number of hogsheads expected. The labouring population are working well. There has been but little business doing doing in the Stock Exchange ; the market remains firm. Consols are now 89a for Money, and 90h for the Account.

Very little doing in the Share Market; Great Western Fifths are 9i ; Bristol and Exeter 32* ; London and Brighton, 43* ; South Western 54* ; North Midland 66. The result of this week's transactions in the general produce markets has on the whole been satisfactory, prices having been supported, and with a fair demand. The unfavourable accounts from the West Indies prove what a bad prospect there is of obtaining more liberal supplies of the leading staples of con sumption from that quarter, so that both the revenue of the country and the middling and poorer classes will be again likely to suffer from the triumph of the Monopolists. There is still a want of confidence in the City, owing to the failures here and abroad, and the rather increased exportation of the precious metals ; but money is easy where first-rate securities is offered.

IRISH LOYALTY.—An extraordinary instance of the enthusiastic and devoted loyalty of the Irish people oc curred last Wednesday in Dundalk, during the election for the county of Louth.
