PEEL.' s - necer-to-be-forgotten Manches ter fever rettu:ns have excited much attention in that town, and have called forth the following petition, though the motive for presenting it must not be stated in the petition, because that would be a breach of privilege, and would cause it to ba rejected. The Press has the gio . ..lous privilege of correcting the min-state ments and falsehoods which Honourable and Right Honourable and Noble Members make in Parliament, though either House, like a self willed woman, obstinately shuts its ears to any even the smallest correction of its most noto rious errors.

That your petitioner believes and is fully convinced that the proportionate excess of disease actually exist ing in Manchester, during the dear years, has been much greater th an t hi s table exhibits.. That your petitioner most earnestly entreats your Honourable House to set on foot an inquiry, to assert: in whether or not the opinion is correct that high prices of food increase disease and mortality, and whether high prices are not produced by the Corn-laws. And your petitioner will ever pray, PHILIP HENRY HOLLAND, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. It is now quite plain why Sir ROBERT PEEL, or his accomplice, in deluding the public, did not, quote the returns for 1834, 1885 and 18,86 ) / when wheat was down t.) somewhere about con tinental prices, the average of the three year having heel 44.5. Bd. Let the reader bee what 14, those returns prove. Sir ROBERT PEEL, begin ning with the year 1837, apd therefor conl.- paring the health of Manchester in 1841 with its health in the four preceding years, three of which were years of most severe pressure, was able to make the House believe . that at present the sanatory condition of that town was most satisfactory. But if he had quoted the three years prior to 1837, he would have shown the House of Commons and the public-4hvourable as the returns appear for his view when the present year is contrasted with 1838 and 1829 that in fact the number of fever patients in the present year was 288, or above two-thirds more than the average of 1834 and 1835. The health of Manchester, instead of being good this 3 ear, is something better than in the immediately preceding years of great distress, but much worse than in the years of prosperity. The very important truth, then, that plenty of food is favourable to health, which we also made apparent yesterday by a statement of the number of fevers in Edinburgh, was wilfully suppressed, and a false impression the very reverse of the "truth, was palmed on the House of Commons and the public on Thurs day evening last. Another most important fact is shown by these tables; confirming an assertion we have re peatedly made—namely, that the Corn-laws an nually cause the death of a great number of per sons. Had trade been free there is no reason whatever why corn should not have been as abundant and as cheap in 1838 and 1839 as in 1835, or cheaper, for we should have had the whole world to supply us, and it would, in fact, only have cost the labour necessary to make the manufactured articles by which it was purchased. But owing to our Corn laws it was ode-third dearer in 1838 and 1839 than in 1534 and 1836, and the consequence was not only a great increase of disease, but, a great in crease of death. Not only did the number of fever patients increase in Manchester from 403, the average of 1831 and 1835, to 1,202, the ave rage of 1838 and 1839, or three-fold, but the proportionate number of deaths among them nearly doubled, being only 11.70 per cent, in the former years, and 18.29 per cent. in the latter. We are by no means astonished, now that we have seen these returns, that Sir ROBERT PEEL, or his informant, stopped at 1837, and was not so.icitous to lay before the public the frightful proof of the murderous guilt of the Corn-law makers. We think that we have, by publishing Mr. HOLLAND'S petition, and by these remarks, made out a clear case of wilful deceit somewhere. We will not, like the Morning Chronicle, accuse Sir ROBERT PEEL of having wilfully suppressed part of the table sent to him, for the suppression might have been the. exclusive act of his accom plice ; but as the printed Reports of the Hospital contain all the numbers stated in Mr. HOLLAND'S petition, as well as those quoted by Sir R. PEEL, it is quite plain that they were wilfully sup pressed by some person who was well aware of their bearing and their importance. That Sir ROBERT PEEL'S accomplice had this knowledge we cannot assert; but we can assert he possessed it, for both on September 30th, and during'a debate on a preceding day, he referred to the years 1835 and 1836 as years of great, though factitious, prosperity. That the returns were garbled for a dishonest purpose, then, is plain, and Sir RO BERT PEEL may settle with his informant to which of them belongs the discredit of having wilfully endeavoured to delude the House of Commons and the public. For our parts, knowing nothing of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S accom plice, and having closely watched his Par liamentary career, we feel quite confident, what ever share the other may have in the trick, that Sir ROBERT PEEL—the head of the Starvation Ministry—will never be wholly cleared from the suspicion of having knowingly and wilfully, in order to generate a falsehood, garbled the in formation he pretended with great solemnity to give the House of Commons and the public. When we look back to the debate, and find Sir ROBERT PEEL impatient to lay this garbled information before the House, bristling up with well-assumed indignation because Mr. GrusoN interposed and prevented him, " a Minister of the Crown," for a single .moment, from laying before .the House the conciliatory information he had to give, we are almost surprised—though pretty well acquainted with Sir R. PEEL'S charac ter—at his assurance. We cannot, however, do justice to his conduct by any description, and we must allow him to describe it in his own words. It will be remembered that Sir ROBERT PEEL brought forward the garbled returns on Thursday last, and that, as he was about to make his statement to the House, Mr. GIBSON interposed, and objected to the Right Hon. Baronet, who is said by Lord STANLEY to know how to dress up a case for the House, making a statement with a view to refute something said in a former debate, without first making the Member who said it acquainted with his inten tions. Mr. Giasosr grounded his interrnptio on the rule of the House that a.- former debate is not to be referred to; whereupon Sir ROBERT PEEL, as an introduction to the information he was anxious to lay before the House, used this : imposing language He considered that it was absolutely necessary that he should make the statement he was about to have made. When it was asserted in that House that with respect to Manchester, thousands were deprived of em ployment, and thousands suffering under typhus fever, from want of sufficient food—he would appeal to the House whether it was right that a Minister of the Crown, hearing a statement so appalling as that, could refrain from making inquiry —(Cheers)—and from communi cating, in some way or other, the result of that inquiry to the House ?—(Cheers.) .He left it to the House .to judge wLether it was wise that the enforcement of tech nical rules should permit this country, and the other countries of Europe, to labour under the hnprestion that thousands were actually suffering in this country under typhus fever, produced by want of food, and that when a Min'ster of the Crown merely attempted to administer consolation and satisfaction to minds grieved by such statements, an Hon. Member should get up and appeal to a rule of the House which prevented reference to tho debate in which the assertions were made.— (Cheers.) Ile had thought that the lion Gentleman himself, from his connection with Manchester, would bear with satis faction the statement which be was about to make:— (MUch cheering from the . Tories.) After that solemn and much-cheered exordium, Sir RonEwr PEEL proceeded to delude the House and the public. A more consummate and solem:. piece of hypocrisy was never enacted in the time of the Commonwealth. A common mounte bank, who deludes and swindles the ignorant multitude, is a much-despised man; but lie is, in our estimation, one of nature's nobles, CORI-. pared to the statesman who—to justify a great system of plunder—tries, being trusted and con fided in, to delude. and swindle the Parliament and the nation. We must say in conclusion, not so much with a view of expressing our own feelings of satis faction, as of adding to the proofs we have al ready accumulated against Sir ROBERT PEEL, that we are assured, on high authority in Man chester, that the observations we made on Sa turday, on the improved healthfulness of the houses and streets of Manchester, owing to the greater diligence and care of the local authori ties, are wry correct. The wealthy classes of Manchester have found the last year, we are in formed, one of unusual salubrity ; and that the poorer classes do not enjoy a greater degree of health than in 1834 and 1835, is owing exclu sively to their want of the necessaries and com tbrts of life. Sir ROBERT PEEL must make haste to pro• rogue the Parliament, otherwise he will be obliged to inquire into the effects of the Corn laws, and be obliged to abolish them, in spite of his colleagues' unwillingness and his own suppli cations for delay. Again last night the perse vering Earl of RADNOR brought the subject under the notice of the Lords, and by quoting' several facts; proved that the Ministers ;would incur an awful responsibility if they did not speedily take the subject into consideration, with a view of doing justice to the people. The sensible, manly, straightforward speech of the ~ ~{ lam THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1,841. Ndble Earl is worthy of perusal, and is deserv ing of the public approbation. The truths which the Noble Earl had the boldness to utter excited the Du.ke of WELLING' TON, who declared that he would not allow himself to be intimidated. Hear that, suffering and petitioning people ! The great - Duke has formed his resolution. • He takes on himself the awful responsibility of refus ing all legislative attention to your prayers; he will persist, at present at least, in maintain ing the laws which doom you to starvation, disease, and death, and he won't allow himself to be intimidated. The indomitable will of one man, and that man indebted fur his power and his wealth to. the grateful people, is to consign thousands to disease and death, and the millions must submit to brutal injustice because the Duke of WELLINGTON will not be intimidated. We apprehend, however, when the Duke of WEL LINGTON forgets his calm resolution, and finds it necessary to boast of his firmness, that in fact he begins to shake. He has a glimmering dread of the awful consequences of irritating a hungry people, and his heart sinks at the very moment that he boasts that he will not allow himself to be intimidated. For mark, reader! that the Duke went on to explain away the , harsh expressions attributed to him on a former occasion. He did not assert, us he was reported to have said, that there was no distress; he asserted there " was distress in several parts of the country, but the distress did not arise from any want of food in the coun try." " There is no danger from a want of pro visions. There is distress owing to the want of work, deficiency of wages, and -other causes." The great Duke,. therefore, is anxious to make out a tolerably good case for himself, and not to allow the public to believe that he bluntly denied the existence of that distress which his cunning colleagues have tried to reason away. Moreover, the Duke is by no means now tho roughly assured of the effects of the Corn-law. He says, "it is a large question, to be consi dered in its bearings on commerce and finance. He brought in the existing law, and recom mended its adoption . ; but it stands in a different light now from what it stood in when lie brought it forward. Since then the knowledge of the last and preceding Sessions has come to guide the Legislature." The great Duke, then, mis trusts his own wisdom of 18728, he wavers, he doubts while he boasts, and when HE talks of taking the matter into serious consideration with new lights, the Duke of WELLINGTON is pre paring to yield. We quite agree with what Mr. COBDEN says in his letter to .Mr. STURGE, " that one unani mous protest from the . , bread-eaters is alone wanted to ensure the doWofal ,Of . the system.' Its extinction is decreed andio at hand. A very little more exertions of the COBDENS, the STURGES, and their magnanimous allies in every part of the kingdom will be sufficient to attain this great object. They must tell the Duke of WELLlNoToN;sshowever, not to hamper him self with the consideration of treaties with other Powers, but confine himself to what is due to the people of this empire. Corn-law repeal is no longer a question of political expediency or tem porary policy, but a question of, morality, of justice, and of religion, which cannot be settled in any way but one—namely, the complete abo lition of all the so-called protecting duties, alias taxes for the benefit of the owners of rent, who make the laws, on provisions of all kinds; and which, not settled in that way, involves the fin.- feiture of allegiance, the overthrow of the Go vernment, and the disruption of society. We can tell the Duke of WELLINGTON that he will be intimidated by the consequences of his obsti nate attachment to the bread-tax, and that in spite of his boasting he will and must yield to the strong remonstrances of the people. We should, however, do this great man—great, even in his humiliating errors—a gross injustice, it we did not draw a broad distinction between him and the mean, pettifoggers, his colleagues in the other House, who have endeavoured, by a peat variety of despicable subterfuges, to chetit their own understandings into supporting a course•of ff policy, because that secures their places, which they know to be dishonestolud fraught with dan ger. Sir 11. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, have one and all admitted that the law is intended to keep up rents—to enrich diens and their class, therefore, at the expense of other people ; but, as the landed interest at pre sent gives away office, they have heist • their brains for reasons which shall give a sem blance of policy and patriotism to their dangerous legislative plunder. Widely dif ferent from them, the frank and bold, though we think ignorant and misinformed Duke, dis dains to employ their subterfuges, and half admits his error, while he says that he must take the subject afresh into consideration with the new light which late events have cast on it. We pray that he may come, and that speedily, to a right conclusion, or he and his colleagues will find too late, as Lord RADNOR. hinted, that by defending the Corn-laws they have overthrown the present n I right of property. was Since the close of the proceedings of the last General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, which excited the indignation of every well regulated mind, the Non-intrusionist party have discovered that the Kirk is placed in a most dangerous position, and that if some means are not adopted to reconcile the two contending par ties the ruin of the Establishment will be the con sequence. We are only surprised that they did not admit this probable consequence long ago. Trusting to their own assumed powers, they thought they were justified in adopting a mode of proceeding inconsistent with common sense, inconsistent with the law of the land, and,. „what is of infinitely more importance,' inconsist ent with the charitable doctrines laid down by that Master under whom they profess to serve. They punished without compassion, and finding that their atrocious conduct (we cannot describe it by any gentler name) excited universal sym pathy for the sufferers, they have changed their tack, and sent' a deputation to wait upon the QUEEN, or her . __Brime Minister, to implore as sistance. They must indeed be reduced to the last extremities. The QUEEN, the head of the • Church of England, and the protector of the laws of the land, can give no countenance to men who set the laws of GOD and man at deft-. ante ; and the Minister, always the eriend and 'patron of the party whom they sa vagely trample upon, must regard them. with feelings of abhorrence. This last appeal we therefore consider decisive of the Veto Act, It is a dead letter. The great body of the people are against it—Judges, Parliaments, and Cabi nets, Whig and Tory, are against it. CHALMERS himself, and .Lord MONCRIEFF, the authors of the obnoxious measure, are silent from shame; and these firebrands are now forced to cry out for help from the men they have injured. They will therefore be humbly thankful, we presume, for the means of escape held out to them by one of their own party, who has seen the error of his ways, and who has chosen to commu nicate it through this Journal, opposed front the beginning to a step which we saw pregnant with danger to the first Christian Establishinent in the world. We refer to a communication from a Clergyman and Professor at St. Andrew's, in another part of the Paper. This venerable Father of the Church recommends an abolition of the Veto Act, and an oblivion of all past dis putes, as the ground-work of his scheme; and he further recommends that the leading men on each side should go up, arm-in -arm, as friends to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and come to au under standing at once with the Government. We reluctantly dissent from this proposal. Cook and MEARNs tu'e mild, gentle men, long. habi tuated to the order and decency of civilized life, and would not have the slightest chance when yoked with CANDLISH and CUNNINGHAM. There must be a gentle coercive system, a little training, befure:the parties meet the Master of the Ceremonies; and we, therefore, propose that CANDLISH should be placed .between COOK and MEARNS (adopting the plauof the tame-elephant- Peer); that CcisilitZ•Wn.A3l should march between , ROBERTSON and BRYCE, (the latter gentleman from his residence in India knows how to tame wild animal 3); and that the Duke of ARGYLL should be placed between the Earl of ABER DEEN and Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the rear to be brought up by our Correspondent G., a repentant sinner. These ten would effect the salvation of the Church of Scotland. Without some arrange ment•of this kind we fear the case is hopeless. The higher classes arc leaving the Kirk to be come Episcopalians, a college is about to be established at Perth for the education of youth . in that mode of worship, and even soma of the Nou-intrusionist clergy, disgusted with the cant, hypocrisy, and ruthless conduct of their party, are glad to find rest under the wings of a Bishop. Lord MONCRIEFF, the soa of the best friend of the Scotch Church, must regard the result of the last six years' agitation with no enviable feelings. Among the petitions presented in the House of Commons last night was one from Mr. STEELE, O'CoNNELL's head pacificator for Ireland, pray ing for an alteration in the Coronation oath, which certainly demands the attention of the Legislature. That the Sovereign of this realm should be compelled solemnly to affix the brand of idolatry—of a most heinous offence against the Majesty of GOD —upon the religious faith of nearly nine 'Pillions. of her subjects, including ti - en eminent for the 'antiquity of their descent, their learning, and their' piety, reflects no credit upon the boasted liberality of the British Legis lature. It is surely enough that the Sovereign should be a good Protestant, without com pelling her to attest her sincerity by brand - ing with infidelity' the faith of others. Nor does our gracious QUEEN stand alone in the involuntary outrage thus offered to the Roman Catholics. Every Protestant Member of the Lvgislature -is obliged to take a similar oath, though in nine cases out of ten the swearer can know nothing a the truth of what he is swearing about, being wholly ignorant of the real doctrines of the Church of Rome upon the theological questions sub mitted to him for reprobation. We grant that the oath is now generally regarded by the majority of the Members of both , Houses as an idle form, which neither influences their opinions no: their conduct. We would not• so insult the good sense, the Christian charity, and the right feeling of the majority of the Members of. Parliament, as to suppose for an instant that they took the oath in the spirit in which it was 'first proposed.• it was framed with a view, not only to exclude Roman Catholics from Parliament, but to admit none who were not actively hostile to them. To hate the devil was not so meritorious a State duty as to abjure the Pope and the Pretender. But with the extinction of the House of STUART, and the admission of Roman Catholics to Parlia ment, ceased all pretext for administering the ab juration oath in its present offensive, or rather insultingly disg,raeckl, form. The continuing to offer sodis , rraceful an insult to the Roman . Ca tholics, for no other conceivable purpose than to outrage their religious feelings, was, and is, a deplorable instance of bad polity, bad feeling, and bad taste. It is the duty of Catholics to in sist upon being no. longer so insulted, and it is equally the duty of Parliament and the govern ment to comply with a demand so just and rea sonable. We hail it as a good sign of tiktimes, that Protestants themielves are growing ashamed of tests insulting to the religious feel ings of their _fellow 7 subjetts, and that they* 4 al"e the first to address'petitions to the Legislature praying for their modification. The subject of Mr. STEELE 78 petition is one which ought not to be suffered to drop, and any Member taking it up with spirit would not fail to do good service to the country by wiping from the Statute 7 book • a pernicious and offensive remnant of the penal code. Accounts from Madrid state that the Infante Don FRANCISCO ng PAULO may. be expected in that capital in the course of the month of October. Aletter from M al kat, dated tl..<o9.tbul t., appears in El COrearnsal of the 27th, stating that France had evacuated the Military Hospital in the Isla -del' '• key, with great promptitude. The lease expired on the 3d, and on that day the surrender was made, the French authorities having left undisturbed, the building erected at the expense of their Government." Business commenced on the Madrid Bourse on the 27th, but little business was done. The Fives were done at 27 for cash, and 281 l at 60 days, and the debt without interest at .51, cash. The news from France, with the exception of the rumours and speculations respecting the English and French fleets before Tunis, possesses little interest. M. THIERS, since his return to the capital, has considerably modified his war like ideas as regards Germany; but, if we.are to judge from an article in his Journal, lie is as war like as ever towards this country. The Journal des Debats, and - the Ministerial organs, will hear of no, disarmament, but the Constitu tionnel goes,still farther, and cries out—" Peace to Germany and naval rivalry to., England.'" We trust, however, that the deputies, who hold the strings of the national purse, by no means overflowing with- wealth, will set their faces against a „system which must either ruin the country by enormous and needless expenditure, or bring on..a universal war. The Cabinet, there fore, has wisely resolved to refer the question of disarmament to the Chambers, which are to meet early n December. The Gazette de France publishes a letter from Kirch . berg of the 20th ult., stating that on that day the appa ratus had been removed for a short time from the leg of the Duke de 73ordeaux, to ascertain whether it had been at all shortened. This, says the letter, was not the case, and the apparatus was to be removed altogether in a week. We find t‘e following in the Anii de La Religion It has been stated by several journals that, on the 29th ult., the Feast of St. Michael, masses wore asked for and pet - formed at several churches in Paris, for the recovery. of the Duke de Bordeaux. Having sought for fuller infor mation, we learn that the masses in thanksgiving for the re-establishment of the health of the Prince, were ap plied for, but the clergymen, having consulted the au thorities, were told that they could not perform masses likely to give rise to any political demonstrations. The -Temps states, that before the Baron ab scovided from Paris, he invited several of his friends to a shooting party for. Saturday, the better to conceal his intention of going away. It says that when the reports of his leaving the capital were first but erroneously spread abroad, the Baron came to its office, accompanied by a friend, to contradict the rumour„ and thi, friend gave his word of honour a 3 to the incorrectness of the statement. "This same gentleman," the Temps says, " is a loser by the Baron of 50,000 francs, and he fol lowed him to a great distance on the road he was sup posed to have taken,• in the hopes of coming up with him. lie was one of the party invited to shoot." The Moniteur Parisien states that the creditors of M. Joubert are holding meetings for the consideration of his affairs. The FraUce says that the Countess Lehon has made a sacrifice of several hundred thousand francs from her own fortune, in behalf of M: Lehon, the notary, her brother-in-law. The annual meeting of the Academie des Beaux Arts for the distribution of prizes was held On Saturday. M. Gamier, the president, took the chair, supported by M. Raoul ilochette, the perpetual secretary, and M. Achille Leclerc. There was a large assemblage of members of the.lnstitute. The last accounts from the island of Bourbon bring the address presented to the Governor by the Colonial Council on the 10th June, .and his reply. In allusion to the-slave question the Governor states that when the French Government shall have come to a decision as to the course to be pursued, it will know how to ally justice with firinne'6s, and to respect the rights of all. He advises the Council to have confidence in the Government and to act with prudence and moderation. Th© Council in their address had promised to co-operate as far as they could in any measure of reform as to the slave question. A violent conflagration occurred at Urnhstadt, in Prussia, on the 21st ult., and destroyed 114 houses. The King of Prussia liaz, issued an order that in future no music, nut distinctly sacred, shall be performed in any Protestant church of his dominions without especial au thorisation from the pastor of the church. A letter from Baden-Baden gives an animated ac count of a stag-hunt on the 25th -ult. by the hounds of the Count de Seinale, which was kept up with unabated spirit for five hours, during which the chase had to pass and repass three different streams. All the sportsmen ac quitted themselves most gallantly, but particularly the Count, who escaped some risks of breaking his neck. There was to be another' hunt on the 28th or 29ch, of the stag or boar. Baden is still full of visitors. The small property on which Nicolas Poussin was born at Andelys, near Elbeuf, on the :seine, will be sold by auction on Wednesday next, at Andelys. The upset price is only 2,000 f. " M. Ingres, the artist," says the Tempe," is determined to become the purchaser." The courtier de la Drome states that the arrondisse ment of Montelimart was visited, on the 2.Stli and the three previous days, by storms of unusual violence, attended by an inundation, which threat ened consequences as disastrous as the floods of last year. Every river and stream burst its banks, and did considerable demage to the bordering lands. A bridge over the Berre, near Taulingan, was carried away, and another over the Lez, at Colombier ; several houses, mills, and manufactories, were also washed away. Two persons . belonging to Montelimart are missing, and are believed to have been drowned ; and tw o young men were drowned in endeavouring to save the lives of others. A young woman of Pierrelatte was killed by lightning in a hut, where she had taken shelter, and several other persons and many cattle in the Holds were struck, MO suffered more or less from the action of the electric fl The following is an article of La Presse, a French Ministerial paper, upon Tunis:—" The. Bey of Tunis and the Pacha of Tripoli had been for a long time indepen dent of the Porte. Their position, with respect to the Saltan was analogous to that of the lley of Algiers be fore our conquest. At a certain time the Porte, wishing to render them more subject to it, determined to send an expedition against them; but, as it could not subdue them both at once, it determined to attack Tripoli first. A flotilla left Constantinople, and landed an army of Turks at Tripoli, on the 25th of May, 1335. The in ternal situation of the country favoured the designs of the Porte. The brother and sun of the late Pacha dis puted the supreme power. The former was shut up in the town, and the latter was in possession of the country'. The Turkish Admiral, Mustapha Nedgib, craftily an nounced to Sidi Ali, the Pacha occupying Tripoli, that he brought him succour against his nephew. Sidi Ali, deceived by this declaration, let the Turkish troops take possession of the town, and was so imprudent as to visit the Admiral in his ship. There he was kept prisoner, and sent in a few days to Constantinople, where he died in obscurity. As to the nephew, he was soon brought to reason, and the Porte re-seized its old authority upon this Regency. The Bey of Tunis still ;emained to be subdued ; the. Porte had a great wish to subdue it us it had done Tripoli. Encouraged by its first success, it sent a 8( coati squadron to Tunis, under the command of Tahir Pacha, who had instructions to reduce the Bey by cunning or by force. But France having learnt his project sent Admiral Hugon from Toulon with a French squadron, which came before Tunis almost at the same time as Tahir Pacha. The .latter thought it prudent to turn back, and sailed ' to Tripoli, where he strengthened the authority of the Porte, shaken by internal factions. Affairs remained in this state during a few years ; the Porte has several times renewed its attempts, and espe cially under the Ministry of Count Mo:6; they have always failed before the attitude of Irance ; in these last times it appears that it intended to put its old project into execution, and that Tahir Pacha was ordered to sail to Tunis, after having put an end to the insurrection of Candia. France, faithful to the same policy, has again tried to hinder the re-action so much desired by the Porte. For this reason M. Leray was sent a few weeks ago to Tunis with an imposing naval force; and Tahir Pacha, convinced of the inutility of his sailing thither, t abandoned the idea, and returned to Constantinople. Now, why has France intervened ? Why does it prevent Tunis returning under French domination? France, which insisted so much upon Mehemet Ali's preserving a certain independence in his relations with the Sultan, could not, without inconsistency, abandon the Bey of Tunis. Here France has a more direct interest than in ,Egypt. The regency of Tunis touches the Beylick of Constantine, where our dominion is now settled. It is of great importance to us that the master of Tunis should not be subject to the Porte. If, in fact, the Porte 1 . reigned as sovereign on our frontiers of Constantine, it would be a bad neighbourhood for us ; we would be in continual quarrels with it, and, what is worse, with all its protectors. Hence, a permanent chance of difficulties, and perhaps of collisions. Add to this, that the Arabs of this part of Africa are not of the same religious sect as the Turks ; they recognise as their chief the Emperor of Morocco, whilst the latter regard the Sultan as the legitimate successor of the Prophet. If these two sects were put in contact, a terrible war would take place, a hich would add to all the cause of subversion which we are striving to put an end to, and would probably force us to intervene. The result of this intervention would be, that we should have both enemies upon our hands; in any case it would delay two years the pacification of Algeira, which we are so desirous to bring about. This simple exposure of facts suffices to explain the French policy, and to justify it. Besides, for the moment the Porte has abandoned all projects against Tunis; now the object of our diplomacy must be to bring about serious and definitive settlement. And our sea forces must prevent it, as they have donetwo or three times, if.any attempt is made. BO URSE—PAR 18, MONDAY, OCT. 4. Higheit Lowest eLest Pelee Price. Fru,.

EXTRA° RD I NARY EXPRESS FROM PARIS The following communication from Paris has just been received : PARTS, TUESDAY. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. DEFEAT OF THE CHINESE, EVACUATION OF CANTON. MARSEILLES, OCT. 3. The Oriental, which left Malta on the 30th September, has arrived this morning at ten, hav ing on board Captain Brown, charged with de spatches to the Queen of England. The English forced the advanced posts of Can_ ton the 23(1 or 27th of May, and prepared on the instant to attack Canton itself. But the Chinese capitulated. They pay 6,000,000 of dollars. The Tartar garrison evacua:ed the city on the sth June. The English have again occupied Hong Kong. EDINBURGH, OCT. 4.—Early on Saturday forenoon, the Castle esplanade exhibited an appearance of unusual stir, in consequence of its being rumoured that a soldier belonging to the 53d Regiment was to be drummed out for stealing. About eleven o'clock the 're giment marched down to the esplanade, and drew up in line, in the centre of which the culprit was stationed, when in presepce of all his comrades, his facings, but tons, and every thing which related to the regiment were cut off by the sergeant-major, who also stamped upon his knapsack in large letters the word " thief." To com plete 01, degrading spectacle, the delinquent was then marched round the regiment, and after the prescribed forms were gone through, he was then allowed to depart. Before quitting the esplanade he took off his jacket and knapsack, and threw them back in the direction of the regiment ; they were got hold of by some boys, who soon tore them in shreds. The offender' had been con victed of stealing from an officer's room about three weeks before, for which he received 150 lashes. He was an old offender. _ _ _ _ • BOULOGNE. —An unprincipled scoundrel at Calais wrote to one of the London papers, and the Cap tain of the French mail spread the report at Dover, that the City of Boulogne had foundered outsile of our har bour on Thursday morning, and from 26 to 150 perish ed. Now no blame can be attached to the Calasians when they praise up their port, but every man of common feeling will, and must be indignant, when, to serve a base purpose, they cast dismay and terror into the bosoms of hundred:, who have friends on board a boat, by lying. wilful, maliciously lying, like the above. How they could have thought of the City of Boulogne astonishes us, par ticularly as - she was leaving the harbour ; had they spread the report of some crazy boat, it would have been another.thing. What a deplorable state they must be in, at Calais for passengers, when they find it necessary to have recourse to such base means to gain temporary fa vour.—Budogne Gazette, Oct. 4. Arrangements have been completed between the contractors for the Brighton day mail and the Direc tors of the Brighton Railway for the conveyance of the day mail by railroad. The contract commences this day, and the mail will start at its usual time—namely, eleven o'clock. The night mail will still continue to run as heretofore. We understand it is contemplat..d to have another delivery of letters in Brighton in the course of the day (three in all), which will be a great accommoda tion to merchants and others resident there. Since the opening of the railway several of the coaches have been taken off the road. There arv, however, still eleven, in cluding the night mail. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.- Saturday week, Sir Frederick Smith, Government engi neer, made a survey upon the rail with a locomotive engine and a second class carriage.

FOREIGN. • The steam-boat Peiki Chevket had arrived at Candia from Constantinople, bringing the Sultan's fiehaan, grant ing an amnesty to the Candiot insurgents. The affair of Tunis, and the question of disarma ment chiefly occupy the Paris Journals of Monday. Their tone is extremely warlike, but for w hat new cause we cannot discover. The view taken of the Tunis question by La Presse, the organ of the Court, as well as Count Mole, will be fouud among the foreign news: The SentintiL dela Marine, a Toulon Journal, states that the return of the Montebello ship of the line from Tunis, has caused considerable excitement. It is sup posed that the only French ships stationed there are the _Hercule and Neptune, but reports are circulated of the departure of several vessels that quarter. A steamboat had sailed from Tuition with despatches, said to be of a pressing nature, for Commodore Leroy, off Tunis. On Saturday died, at his residence in Paris, aged 63, Grimaldi Honore V., Prince of Monaco, Duke of Valen tinois, Peer of France, Grandee of Spain of the First Class, and a Noble of Genoa._ The accounts from the principal wire growing dis xicts in France, Burgundy, Champagne, the Ilhone, and he Gironde, are on the whole very favourable. The Duke of Devonshire has arrived at Munich. _ The Hamburgic Gazette of the 24th ult. states that the object of the Conference between the Emperor of Rus sia and the King of Prussia at Warsaw was to take into consideration a proposal made by the British Govern ment, tbr a general disarming or diminution of all the fleets in Europe. The Konigsberg Gazette calls the attention of the European Powers to the display of military made by Russia on the Prussian frontier. General Maroto, who, signed the Convention of Ber gara, by which 1)on Carlos was driven out of Spain, has addressed a letter to Colonel Milian, complaining of the riots at Valencia, in consequence of the appointment of two Carlist Officers, who served under him, to military appointments in that City. Though the General takes - up the matter a little too warmly, considering that one of the officers was obnoxious to the citizens for acts committed during thd reign of King Fer dinand, we have little doubt that his letter will be pro ductive of much good in Spain. In no country is a union of the inhabitants or every shade of opinion more necessary to the advancement of the general prosperity than in Spain. PARLIII=ZNT.&U.Y. The Administration of Justice, and the other Bills which have recently passed both Houses, received the Royal Assent last night. The Marquis of Normanby inquired if the Govern ment meant to take up the Drainage Bill ; and was answered, certainly not this Session ; and what might be done the next it was impossible to say. The Noble Marquis said, as the Bill had the support of the Duke of Wellington, if the Government did nut bring it forward he would. The Poor-law Commission Bill was read a third time. A useful debate on the Corn-laws took place on a pe tition of the Earl of Radnor. We have elsewhere referred to it. The Marquis of Normanby noticed an extraordinary letter he had received from Mr. Lacon, but founded no motion on it. Lord Brougham brought the slave trade under the notice of the Peers, and stated that a large amount of the capital of this country was employed in maintaining slavery end supporting the slave trade. lie showed that British subjects engaged in this illegal traffic committed a felony, and rendered themselves liable to transportation for life. His Lordship drew a frightful picture of the mode of getting slaves in India, and demonstrated, we think, while he justly inveighed against these abominable prac tices, how impotent are the laws to.suppress a profitable traffic. The Noble Lord recommended the speedy emancipation of the slaves at Ceylon, and declared that the total abolition of slavery was the only effectual means of putting a step to the atrocities of the slave trade. The Earl of Ripon" said that the attention of Lord Stanley was directed to the subject, and when her Ma jesty's Goverment were in possession of all the informa tion, they would see what could be done to amend the law., Lord Elleuborough made a moderate and short speech, in which he referred to the murders committed by Btu he and flare at Edinburgh, for the sake of the price • the dead bodies tetched. Lord. Brougham, in reply, stated that he had predicted before those n urders that if measures were not taken to reduce the price of subjects fbr dissection murders would be committed for the sake of selling the bodies. . The Noble Lord withdrew his motion for papers'on the subject. The Commons only received petitions, and gave one or two notices for nett Session. In reply to Sir C. Napier, Sir Robert Peel would say nothing about M'Leod. In reply to Mr. Brotherton EC said that Sir J. Graham would go down to Windsor and lay the me morials and petitions of the people before her Majesty. That, and a laconic announctanent to each party peti tioning, that their petitions have been laid before the Queen, is all that will now be done with the memorials and petitions, which have caused a great number of people a great deal of trouble. The 1 - lotte butuediatety adjourned. P 11131.10 OPINION. The Morning Chronicle appears to-entertain an im pression that, during the recess, Sir Robert Peel will bring the question of the Corn-lases before his concaves, with a view to propose some alteration in them. "Irons What the Duke of Wellington said in reply to the Earl of Radnor," observes our Contemporary, " it seems that his declaration on the previous evening was made in too unqualified a way, and that he does contemplate, at some future period, some change in the Corn-laws. The Duke of Richmond, too, tried to back out of his famous threat to Sir Robert • Peel, that We' who put him in would turn him out, if he dared to meddle with the Corn-laws. We may, therefore, infer that a Corn law Conference has been held, and that Sir Robert Peel, by taking out his resignation, and hold ing it at half-cock - at their heads,- has partly frightened and partly coaxed the great representatives of the .‘ landed interest' to, consent to a prospective chinge. The value and extentof that change, - however, may be guessed from the language of the Duke of Richmond, who st;11 considers an Bs. duty as piece of madness, and loudly demands ample protection for the agricultural interest. But in the reluctant concessions to Public opinion made by the Dukes of Wellington and Richmond, we see a probability that during the recess 'some attempt may be made to patch up a scheme which the united Cabinet' may be led .to bring-before Parliament during next Session, in the hope that an appearance of change may enable them to cheat the people of its reality." —Such a change in the Corn-laws - as will really be benefi cial to the country, is not to be expected from a Cabinet constituted like the present. The Duke of Buckingham alone is a guarantee for the Ministers making no altera tion worth accepting. His Grace had been thrust into office by the land-owners, solely for the purpose of keep ing up their darling monopoly ; and no concessions will he allow to be made, but such as are purely nominal. As for Sir Janus Graham, we think nothing of his opposi tion. Having no guiding principle of action, what should prevent Min from turning round again, as he has so often done before ? Still, we repeat, nothiugis to be expected, in the way of useful Corn-law Reform, from Ministers. They are bound up with the aristocracy ; they are sworn to du its bidding ; and they will—for the slaves cannot help themselves—do it at all hazards ! The Times sneers at the Corn-law Reformers in the manufacturing districts, in a style that might be mis chievous, were not its venom neutralized by its exceed ing vagueness and clumsiness. There is a would-he aristocratic hauteur and loftiness in our Contemporary's manner that is infinitely amusing. We quote a portion of his comments :—" In all the great hives of manufac turing industry, you uniformly find a certain proportion of humming hornets, who, happening to have gained the ear and confidence of their associates, are continually haranguing them upon their alleged wrongs—busily conniving with the factory demagogues of the me tropolis—superintending an extensive conspiracy for hatching grievances or demanding redress—and ever contriving to lay their clutches upon the contribu tions of credulous dupes for the purpose of support ing themselves in mischievous idleness, as delegates, for sooth, to a grand National Convention l To what extent this vulgar species of humbug has been practised in Man chester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, Glasgow, Dun dee, and other places, may e tolerably well estimated, both from the fierce quarrels of the pnneipalS last year when dividing the spoil, and also from the angry re proaches of the misguided masses whom they severally affected to represent. Such jobbing eolleSions, however, are by no means confined tothelOwer vermin Of the fac tories. Your hungry hornets, with glossier wings and a yet bolder bite, are: to. be 'found regaling their instincts upon victims a single remove higher. The buzzing sec taries who disported for a few days at Manchester, as well as the stinging tribe of Anti-Corn-law leaguers, are all of the same genus." The Herald affects the jocular, in noticing a remark made by Lord Melbourne on Monday night in the House of Lords. As it is but seldom that Cirandmama attempts smartness or drollery, we subjoin , a specimen of her powers on the present occasion, if only by way of no velty:—" Lord Melbourne has, like Shyloch, been dream ing so earnestly of - money bags,' that he has actually on his awakening felt co nvinced that he had the power of the Bank of Eng land in his right hand, rind in his left the combined influence of all the millionaires of the City. With this strength, how ever, the Noble Lord commingles mercy and kindness; he will allow the Stoic Exchange to exist ; he will not tumble down the value of the funds ; he will not stop the Bank of England ; he will not wholly ruin the British public. This merciful intention Lord Mel bourne announced on Monday—' I will not,' declared the ex-Premier, say one word that will produce any effect un the money market !"rhank Heaven I The City of London is at present to be spared a conversion int:, a modern Petra grass is not at once to spring up in Lombard-street, desolation is not immediately •to be the only resident in Threadneedle. street, silence is not hereafter to prevail in Capel-court, St. Swithen's lane is not to become the abode of the, solitary and por tentous raven. Nothing' in Lord Melbourne's politi cal life becomes hint as the leaving of it ;' if he did no good in power, -he will inflict no harm - on the nation in opposition : he will temper the wind to the shorn lamb :' he will not pro duce, by an ipse dixit, another commercial panic !" It must be very comforting for the Tories to know, that if they . have Lord Melbourne against them, they have the wit and waggery of the Herald in their favour. This is, indeed, a tower of strength, which it is to be regretted " they of the adverse faction want."
