H 141 14 WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning...llminutes after 4 Evening ......'B minutes after 4. LONDON: TCESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1841. The Times of yesterday noticed the extraor dinary fact, that while peace has been mintained from 1830 to 1841, while arts have flourished, trade has been extended, and wealth increased, all the Governments of Europe are plunged in financial embarrassments, and have increased their debts. Our Contemporary—beginning with Russia, and proceeding to Austria, France, Hol land, Switzerland, England, Spain, and Portu gal, which two last alone have had a civil war to derange their finances— shows that all these Governments ha - , - e successively, in these times of peace and pro sperity, been unable to keep down their expen diture to their revenue, and all, without excep -.tfon, have augmented their debts. These re- Marks bring under public consideration a general fact well worthy of engaging the highest facul lieSof the mind. They are closely connected, we think, with the remarks which we offered to our-readers on last Thursd a y on the inefficiency of the Legislature, as exhibited in its results, and it is impossible for us to pass them by un noticed. Not no. questioni the facts Contemporary; we demur to the moral he ex tracts from them. .The Times sa unquestioynably not to have The last ten years ought increased the debts of nations b a u d t not to ha.ve di m i n i s h ed i been at work t o t t h e m, if some powerful cause h c h e ck the influences of public prospe r Y:i be no other and mar th e benefits of peace. That cause we believee t t h an the temporary depression of the conervatre c e throughout E uro p e durin g this i nterval ; and the bur den s no w thrown upon o ar contemporaries, to be d own by them to posterity, are the price .vittiell, must be paid for democratic ascendancy. waste of the public resources, the unsern,u/ous creation of innumerable places of profit d e i sth , d chiefly for the purposes of corruption, the rise of needy ad• venturers tu power, the imperious necessity of gratifying at any cost the passions of the people, and, on the other hand, the enormous amount of the military establish ments required to maintain public order in the presence of revolutionary excitement, are facts which more than account for what is now passing around us. They de monstrate the great truth, that wherever there is vio • Icicle and insecurity the utmost activity cannot insure the prosperity of nations ; and that national strength in the hour of need depends less upon a rapid in 'crease, of the public resources than upon a prudent sad disinterested use of them. It is the disease • which manifests itself in the various forms of demo _•fatic, revolution th a t h as t h rown o ut these sores ; and ,! seem disorder, if it be not checked, threatens the . body • Peittim•with dissolution. The time is, we trust, Yeti, at which a reaction in favour o: more sober mid immure principles • • • IS gaining ground in other countries besides our tenanee a_ own, deriving from our own its best coun tem' synT.ftilVell• The world learns from these ex- States wealthy lib< and wise ; and that the boasted promises demagogues and rty are only the false names givt n I) . y dupes to presumption and prodigality. Our view •is totally different. It has been de monstrated by NI. DE TOCQUEVILLE, amongst others, that the tendency of society is every where, in Europ e as well as in the Unit e d St a t es , to democracy. In society, for no clash fnact that is the nat ura l state of men is created w ith w faculties and poerg to govern and enslave othe r h *'classes. Dominion as- 'always begun in vie gence and usurpatioui Which, from the natural --Squk . klity of manki n d I there . is' a: perpetual tendency to flake . • - few • htepired-rOrs •," AIL . „ „ ,„, • 4, M 0 I 0 "4, Zinnt ago, personal slavery—hardly yet extinguished in some States—existed throughout Europe. Most of our institutions are derived from that condition of society, and to uphold them is the great object of Conservatism. Though the pro gress of civilization and the extension of trade have raised a numerous middle' class in society, and have in some sort emancipated the lower classes, our institutions have not kept pace with these changes in the condition of the people. Between Conservatism, which seeks to uphold the dead letter of the law without regard to the living spirit of society, and the masses of the community, there is a continual strife. The true source, then, of the difficulties of the Govern ments of Europe is their unfortunate opinion that they must resist and control the ten dencies of society. Those, we repeat, are to freedom and democracy—the Governments of Europe have sought to uphold slavery and aris tocracy. _ W e will take them in the order mentioned by the Times. In Russia the Conservative cause has undergone no depression. Despotism is, as heretofore, unmitigated, save by the lash-, which performs the duties of a bowstring, and keeps a refractory or drunken CZAR obedient to his Nobles. The great expenditure of Russia within the last ten years was caused by its efforts to annihilate the nationality of Poland, to dismem ber Turkey, and extend its own dominion over the territories of Persia. Conservatism has been always strong in Russia, and that was the first State to increase its debts in a season of peace. Austria followed. No democracy has made head in Austria. No adventurers have there ac ceded to power. No places of profit have been created for the purposes of corruption. Prince METTERNICH has governed in peace for up wards of a quarter of a century, and Austria was the second State to augment its debt. He was alarmed at the growth of freedom abroad, he was afraid that the iron yoke of Austria would be broken in Italy, and he kept a large army on foot to crush the rise of freedom in every part of Europe. If Switzerland be yet a prey to anarchy and subject to vast expenses, it is mainly due to the selfish intrigues of Austria, which has kept the aristocracy there in power, for the purpose of impeding the success of the democracy. France saw in 1830 the momentary ascendancy of the democratic principle, and saw it betrayed the next and every following- year by the Citizen KING, in whose hands, in total violation of the democratic principle, France blindly placed iti destiny. The Citizen KING, forgetting his origin, made common cause with the ancient conserva tisms and aristocracies of Europe. Some adven turers have indeed climbed to power in France; some offices have been created for the purposes of corruption ; but the expense thus entailed on that country has been one franc in ten thousand which have been expended to main tain Conservatism and Royalty in France, in opposition to the democratic tendencies of society. Has anything different occurred in England? No. The Whigs excited the democracy in 1830, failed to gratify it, and, for the last six years of their administration, have laboured, in conjunc tion with the Tories, to resist its demands. Now and then they gave way, but their obstinate maintenance of the Corn-laws, the refusal to ex tend the suffrage, the slow grant, and the long denial of Reform to Ireland, the determi nation to maintain, at all hazards, the Church there against the demands of the people, the coercion directed against the Chartists, were all sources of expenditure for the Government, and of diminished resources for the people. In England, therefore, as in France, the increase of the expenditure, and the slow increase of the revenue, have been caused by the striving of the respective Governments to resist the democratic tendency. We therefore differ entirely from the Times, and ascribe the necessity for contracting debts, ' which has been felt and acted on by all the Go vernments of Europe, to those Governments not being in harmony with their people, and to their foolish attempts to model" society after their own hearts, thwarting and controlling the democratic tendency. They have brought the Governments of Europe into conflict with the people, and how that great conflict—the great conflict of our time —may end, no human eye can foresee, no huma- d heart conceive. As long as the Tories were completely masters of the Legislature there was nothing the omnipotence of Parliament could not accom plish. Corn-laws, it was supposed, could keep the price of corn perfectly steady at 80s. the quarter, and Corn-laws were passed. A law established and law-extended Church can, without any doubt, said the Tories, ensure the morality of the people, and society was shook to its centre to support and extend the Estab lished Church. An array of frightful punish ments, which were greater crimes than the crimes they were instituted to prevent, was expected to put a stop to criminality. A police, it was sup posed, would guide every man and every woman aright, and give an ALFRED security to pro perty. Individuals were born according to law, baptised under the same direction, and were married and buried by regulations. Trade, the Tories said, was to be promoted and regulated by laws, and the fetters of protection were fixed on every branch of industry. In short, there was no part of society, when the Tories had the complete control of the Legislature, which could not, they opined, be improved by legislation, and they accordingly sought to make laws for every domestic, every private, and every public relation of every individual. At present, however, the Tories are not mas ters of legislation. The people have got a voice in it, and insist, somewhat pertinaciously, that it be exercised in a particular direction. They de mand employment, wages, relief. Because the Legislature, under Tory guidance, has un dertaken to regulate everything, the multitude believe that it is omnipotent, and they demand satisfaction. Suddenly the Tories alter their tone : " It is the vice of the present time," said the Post yesterday, " and a very lamentable vice it is, to regard Acts of Parliament, and public institutions, as if they were capable of doing everything—of securing whatever is desirable and good in human conduct, and guarding against that which is evil. Christianity—philosophy— experience—all teach a very different lesson. Good in- stitutions are great and valuable auxiliaries to the prac tice of virtue, but the main thing is, that people should be virtuous. If they are not, it is in vain to expect that the enactments and forms of law, or that public institu tions, however liberally and loftily framed, will secure just conduct, and constitute an insuperable bar in the way of evil-doers." In order to make our people virtuous, the friends of the Post reduce robbery to a system, and lend it the sanction of solemn enactments. " And with regard," says the same Journal, " to all that is said about legislation for the re lief of distress and pauperism, it would be very well, also, to take counsel from the same philo sophers." Then it quotes NIEBUHR, who recom mends public writers to devote themselves to the education of children, to give the hand of friendship and consolation, if they have nothing else to give, to the poor; and, of course, in our case, allow the (Tory) Government to pursue its own mischievous career, unchecked by any public opposition. Herr NIEBUHR'S advice would be very good, if statesmen were not just as weak and wicked as the rest of mankind, had they not as many blind and base passions to gratify, and did they not continually use the power Kith which they are entrusted to aggran dise pi ivate individuals or classes. This is our case here in England. Legislation has long been exclusively in the hands of a class who have made laws exclusively to aggrandise themselves and their supporters. They still have the power of making laws and were the people in silence to allow them to pursue their own course, they would soon raze half our cities, and leave just slaves enough to minister to their necessities. Englishmen cannot sit still under our present laws without suffering great . damage, and they know that the law-makers-are wedded IQ their , bony.. - - •. What they ask, however, rightly .11ittrOstiTh is .not new laws, but the repeal of the old laws. We do not say that the legislator can model society according to his own plan ; on the con trary, we say he has tried, and has signally failed; and now, when the Tories are requested to abstain from the attempt, and begin by abo lishing some of their most pernicious enactments, we are treated with a homily on the impotency of legislation. We agree with the Post—the legislation of its friends the landlords has been a complete failure; and we shall be content if it will join with us in calling on them to nullify their own acts, and replace society under those better principles the Post enumerates. In our article on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S ever-to be-celebrated fever returns, we pointed out, from his own documents, that it supplied one striking illustration, by the increase of fever patients in 183 S, the first year of slack trade and deficient harvests, of the mischiefs inflicted on the community by withholding food. A Cor respondent of the Morning Chronicle has sup plied us with some additional illustrations. There is a town of the empire, (he says,) in which a board constantly sits, for the special purpose of hunting out cases of fever, and giving the earliest notice of the invasion of an epidemic. This town is Edinburgh, and if Sir Robert Peel have any candour left, let him read the following table, and blush for shame. We have coupled with the report of cases of fever in Edinburgh, for seven years, the return for the same period of quar ters of corn imported into Great Britain and Ireland. This is one of the best indications of the imperfection of the harvest, and the degree of suffering of the people. It is, indeed, by no means an unerring index, and we know all the risk of giving such insulated facts, when dealing with so accomplished a trickster as Sir Robert Peel. Very likely, in pursuing the same fact through a course of years, large importation may be found coinci dent with sufficient employment and health on the part of the people, because some other cause, studiously con cealed by the Right Honourable Baronet, will have tem pered the severity of the seasons. We leave such inge nuity to the gentleman who understands "dressing a case" and his colleague and accuser, who is not less ex pert, notwithstanding his sentimental and religious affectations. Quarters of Corn Cases of Fever Imported. in Edinburgh. 183 9 375,7 89 1833 .... 83,714 1834 64,552 1635 27,529 1836 30,096 B4l 1837 244,086 972 1833 1,834,453 1839 2,681,390 Sir Robert Peel has now stated his opinion that " a Minister of the Crown should not silently hear that thousands in this country were actually suffering from typhus fever from want of sufficient food ;" and " that a subject of this kind should not be heard without in quiry, and the result of that inquiry ought in sonic way or other to be communicated to the House." Will he now grant inquiry ? or will he set his ponderous wits to work out some new dressinc , for his case, plausible only to the empty and jingling heads on the benches behind him ? If fever returns are to be quoted in the con troversy, what better illustration of the fever producing effects of short commons can be found than these facts? From 1832 to 1837 inclusive, there was comparatively plenty of food; we had no occasion to import much ; the average prices were respectively— 1832 ... 58s. Bd. 1835 ... 395. 4. 1833 ... 525. 11d. 1836 ... 48s. 9d. 1834 ... 465. 2d. 1837 ... 535. 10d. And in those years the fever patients were only the half, or one-third of the number in the years 1838, 1839, when the importation was nearly 2,000,000 quarters per year, and average prices were high—in 1838, 645. 4d., and in 1839, 705.6 d. Either Sir R. PEEL must instantly hasten to put an end to this frightful condition of society by admit ting food, in spite of the awful responsibility taken on himself by the iron-minded Duke, or he must admit that, notwithstanding his Parliamentary skill, he is wholly unworthy to preside, at such a contingency as the present, over the national councils. There is one consideration connected with such returns, which ought to influence a statesman, who is too apt to consider only the strength of tl e whole, without troubling himself about the - di m e _ tion of the units which compose it. ..L statisti cal writer says, that about 1-2,J:,:t1 part of the community is continually th prey of sickness, and unable, for the time toeing,to contribute to the wants of the community. Admitting then ( s 'to quote the passage) that the annual mortality is 2.13. per cent., after the corrected returns, and that tte population of England and W a l es i s 14,000,0 C.,0, the total number constantly dis a bl e d by sick- Zss'win amount to 600,000 persons ; and if th e same oportions be extended to Scotland and Ireland, to 1,130,000. This reduces the efficient population of the empire 1.24 th part, and the productive power, so far as it dep€nds upon human labour, 1-18th part, if the main tenance and attendance of the sick cost half of the pro duce of their labour in health.— Vital Statistics : Sta tistical Account of the British Empire. A dearth, therefore, or a deficiency of food, which, judging by the fever returns of Edin burgh, augments the number of sick probably a third, to that extent impairs for the time the national resources. rutting out of view the suf ferings of the individuals—for which we know selfish, avaricious, and iron-hearted Dukes care not one straw—this diminution of the national strength and national resources ought to have some influence over politicians. By allowing the supply of food to be increased as much as possi ble, not merely more human beings would be called into existence, but those who were so called would enjoy more health, and a happier existence, and contribute more while on the earth to the wealth and strength of the community. Lord FITZWILLIAM'S letter to Mr. GOODMAN of Leeds, inserted in yesterday's Sun, explaining that, as her MAJESTY at present held no Courts, he could not present the Leed's Memorial to her personally, without intruding on her in a manner which the memorialists would be the last to sanc tion, should serve to put an end to the expecta tions still nourished by some of our Liberal Con temporaries, that some Peer will demand an au dience of her MAJESTY to present to her the me morials of her people's distress. It may be a misfortune, but it is undoubtedly one of the consequences of having a female on the throne, that the SOVEREIGN cannot be approached and agitated with business—particularly business of no pleasant nature—at all times. The memorials to the SOVEREIGN will, we presume, be con veyed to her through the usual official channels; so that her MAJESTY'S masters, and the people's tyrants, will keep from her all knowledge of their condition and their wishes. We rejoice to read the noble sentiments and language which were used at the meeting at Li verpool. Neither the broad cloth, as Mr. RATH BONE styled die middle classes, nor the fustian jackets who. originated the meeting, are disposed, to lie down and allow the Tory aristocracy to squeeze the wealth out of one, or trample the other out of existence. They know, as Mr. HGL LAND expressed it, that the Prime Minister seeks for time, in order to reconcile the discordantele ments of his Cabinet, looking to a season of dis tress to frighten the BUCKINORA.MS and tne KNATCLIBULLS into a sense of justice, or to a, season of returning prosperity, to rr...fieve him from the necessity of thwarti.ag the mono polists. He knows that if the people sub mit to starvation through the winter, spring will bring relief and hope ) and he may then take his own measures to rivet in peace Tory shackles on the community. But we are assured that the people will not submit to starva tion to confirm the theories of the Duke of WELLINGTON. and give a triumph to the duke of BUCKINGHAM. The strong language ap plied to the Corn-l aws at t h e luceting says plainly, that they are p roper l y appreciated as 3a a matter of principl e; and all se nse o f j ustice and religion must be swept out of the minds of the people before they again tamely acquiesce in the continuance of the Devil's laws. the idol of th e C onservative) .

Thus at a public meeting of the Sunderland Tories, held on the 19th ult., the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted : That this meeting are of opinion, that the conduct of Mr. 'Alderman Thomson has been unconstitutional, and highly detrimental to the interests of the Borough. That the portrait of the Alderman be immediately withdrawn from the Exchange Buildings, and that the same be submitted for sale by public auction. That Mr. Horner be instructed to remove the Alder man's Arms from his building, and to adopt the title of " Horner's Commercial Hotel." These resolutions were advertised at the expense of the meeting, but as we would not have the character of the Alderman among the Tories confined to the Conservative Journals, we insert them for nothing. The picture, with two him dred engravings from it, are also advertised to be sold; but as there is nobody in Sunderland to bid a penny for them, the borough had better make a present of them to Lord LOWTHER. All parties are now sick of the Alderman, whose person and picture are equally a drug in the Tory market. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Friday and Saturday. Their con tents are of little political interest. According to the Temps England and France have come to a satisfactory agreement relative to Tunis, so that we shall have no more troubles in that quarter. The press, however, continues to cla mour against any reduction of the armaments. A Minisiter of War without 400,000 bayonets at his disposal, and a Minister of Marine with out twenty sail of the line in commission, are never again to be seen in France. While the people arc everywhere sinking under the weight of taxation, the Journals advocate a policy which, if persisted in, must increase the public burdens There was another case of a defaulter on the Paris Bourse on 'Saturday. The Baron d'E— was found to be short of cash to the amount of 500,000 francs. A letter from Athens states that the public executioner, a Frenchman, whilst walking on the shore of the island of .:Egina, which had been assigned as his asylum from the prejudices of the people, had been shot. Several of his predecessors met their deaths in a similar manner. _ The documents relative to the appeal of Madame Laf farge to the Court of Cassation, against the judgment of the Correctional Tribunal of Tulle refusisg her the delay she demanded, and against the judgment given by default on the indictment itself, have been received in Paris; and M. Saint-Laurent has been named reporter on the case. The German Journal if Frankfort states that M. Becker, author of the song of the " Rhine," has just re ceived from some patriots of Mentz a present of a mag nificent silver cup. The Swiss papers mention that some extensive gait springs have, been recently discovered near Kaiser-Augst, in Argau. A Belgian journal, the Tribune, states that a woman of Oreye, aged 40, and who had never before had a child, has just been brought to bed of three daughters. Her husband is turned sixty. The Grand Council of the Canton of Tessino has just adopted a project of political amnesty, and issued two proclamations, on the 21st ult., relative to this subject. Criminal procedure is to be continued only against the authors, leaders, and promoters of the late insurrection, and the Grand Council has declared its intention to em ploy clemency even against parties the most seriously compromised in that affair, upon their showing signs of repentance. _ _ A new Constitution for the principality of Schwartz burg Sonderhausen was promulgated on the 24th ult. It comprises 16 chapters and 210 paragraphs, and di rects among other liberal provisions that the representa tive assembly shall consist of 2 nobles, 9 deputies of towns and burghs, 3 deputies from the peasants, 2 de puties from the learned professions, and 2 deputies f rom merchants and traders. A Frankfurt paper states that a fr- • who had made a fur cap fin- the ...rier at Dresden, return from Russia, and k ,. —inperor Napoleon on his -. l it by him the cap of the Em itperor which had bee given as a model, had bequeathed at his death • -• sessor of i • ..1.) his family, and that the present pos- Dress On the occasion of the visit of M.

Thiers said he was glad to see so much sympathy for Napoleon in a Saxon family, but could not think of de priving them of such a relic at any price ! The Leipsic Gazette, which stated a short time since that during the manoeuvres of the guards near Potsdam, several men were wounded by their comrades, having put sand and 'stones in their guns when firing at each other in the mock engagements, says that, during the reviews at Leignitz, the Prince of Prussia was wounded in the thigh by a stone fired in this manner. The wound was slight, and, after it had been dressed, the Prince continued on horseback during the rest of the day. A correspondent writes from Rome, on the 23d ult., that a violent storm of thunder and lightning, accom panied by a deluge of rain, occurred that morning. The quantity of water which fell had never been wit nessed before in Rome, but the duration of the tropea was only an hour. The electric fluid struck the column of Antoninus Pius, on the Piazza Colouna, and chipped off fragments from the pedestal, and injured the inscrip tion, but the extent of the damage had not then been ascertained. The Antwerp papers state that M. Busson, Belgian Consul-General at Gaines, has failed, and that several houses at Antwerp are sufferers by this disaster. We learn from Hanover that Professor Heeren, of Gottingen, has been commissioned by the Government to travel through France and Belgium, and imptiee into the causes of the immense extension of the manufactures and commerce of these two countries in the course of the last few years. M. Ileeren is to proceed shortly to Paris, where his investigations arc to commence. A correspondent on the frontiers of Poland writes to the Augsburg Gazette—" We have from 16,000 to 20,000' men constantly okeiployed on the railroad between 'War saw and Cracow. Of these 15,000 are Russian serfs let out by their masters, to whom the contractors pay from six to ten silver roubles, according to the strength and capacity of the men, moreover, furnishing them with maintenance, and paying 700 roubles for every man who may die or be missing." The following statistics of Berlin are given by a journal of that capital;---" In 1640 Berlin contained only 6,000 inhabitants; at the close of the reign of the Grand Elec tor of Brandenburgh, Frederick William, there was 20,000. Llis successor, who became King of Prussia under the name of Frederick 1., decreed in 1709 that the different towns divided on the banks of the Spree should be united under one local Government, and bear the name of Berlin. At the end of his reign the number of inhabitants was 50,000. Frederick William 1., father of the Great Frederick, enlarged Berlin, and in his reign the number of houses wa s 4,300, an d hat of the inha bitants 90,000. Under Frederick IL, the population, including the garrison, was 145,000. It is now 250,000." A letter from Beyrout, of the 29th August, in the Toulonnaise, informs us that a few days previously two men, disguised as women, and accompanied by an old woman, obtained admission into the house of one of the inhabitants of Jaffa during his absence, and proceeded to commit atrocious violence on a young female. A complaint having been made to the authorities, one of the two men was arrested, but the other took refuge in the house of the English consular agent, who is a Syrian; but a crowd hay ing assembled in front of it, and threatened to force its way in, if the man was not delivered up, the consular agent surrendered him to the authorities. Shortly after, the old woman who assisted the two criminals was met in the street and stabbed. The French Consul, who was seen on his way home, was asked by the exasperated crowd, whether the European agents had received a mission to protect criminals ; but speaking Arab with fluency, he was - able to tranquillise them, and to make his retreat without receiving any injury: The Echo du Luxembourg says :—" We are assured that on the frontiers of the Grand Duchy, towards Prussia, the free exportation and importation of a great timber of articles continue to take place, notwithstand , ing the non-ratification of the treaty by his Majesty. It is' added that Luxembourg daily exports many ca ttl e and '&great quantity of corn.' , The King arrived at St. Cloud yesterday evening. M.

" Who runs n►uy rend." FORE:GN. The French Government is resolved to give the press no quarter: On Saturday the editor of the National was again tried' on a charge of exciting hatred and contempt against the King's' Government. He was found guilty, and sentenced to four month s ' imprisonment; and the payment of a fine of 5,000 francs. The Impartial du Nerd has been seized for an article attacking-the inviolability of the King's person. The '.King's position mus t be i n d ee d p rec a r ious if he c an no t afford to overlook the attacks of an obscure provincial paper like the Impartial . The Gazette - d'Aitheroe is also about to be pro liecuted for exciting hatred and contempt of the Govern ment. In fact nothing, but prosecutions of the press are heard of in-the ProVirices: All the small men in office are delighted with the authority given them by the Ministe rial Circular to wreak their petty vengeance upon the independent press of France. The Temps - asserts that some notes have been received at the Foreign Office from the Spanish Cabinet, which have given rise to a rather warm corresponfleice, in consequence' of which it has been decided that M. Sal- Tandy shall not set off to assume his functions as Am bassador at Madrid until these difficulties shall be re moved. Our contemporary gives us no information as to the subject of this misunderstanding, which we have not seen mentioned in any other quarter. There was a turn out of the paper stainers .of Paris on Friday in consequence of the low rate of wages. Their numbers exceeded 2,000. They had several interviews with their employers, but the result is not stated in the French papers. The official tables of the prices of wheat in French markets, up to the end of last month, show the highest to have been 21f. 87c. per hectolitre in those of Tou louse, Gray, Lyons, and Marseilles ; and the lowest 17f. 68c. in those of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, Hume bon, and Nantes. . The price of bread, for the first fortnight of the pre sent month, is fixed at 35 centiines the kilogramme. During the last month, 2,323,323 t were deposited in the Savings' Bank of Paris by 17,278 . : contributors, of whom 2,190 were new, and 2,231,000f..wei•e• drawn out. Tho Spanish papers mention the occurrence of serious riots at Valladolid and BadajoS, during the anniversary of the September movement. judges, priests, and women ►•ere grossly insulted by the mobs. The rioters were all Carlists. Advices from Lisbon of the 27th ult., mention the failure in that city of the Spanish house of Corpas, Gar cia, and Co., for about 120,0001. sterling. It Was sup posed that the English cotton houses would be the chief losers. The Brazilian firm of D 3 Silva and Co., also stopped payment. 'PARLIAMENTARY. In the House of Peers last night the Earl of Minto de fended and explained the promotions recently made by him before leaving the Admiralty. On the third reading of the Exchequer Bills Funding Bill, Viscount Melbourne attacked the policy of his op ponents. He described their financial scheme as a failure, and one which they, after turning him out of office, ought not to have adopted. He insisted, too, that they ought to be prepared to introduce some measure for the relief of the public distress, and happily ridiculed the pompous demand for time to mature measures, by asking whether the Ministers were looking for the phi losopher's stone. He did not oppose the Bill. The Earl of Ripon defended the delay of Ministers, and assured his Noble Friend that he too must have had a loan had he remained in office ? and had carried his budget. The Duke of Wellington was apparently nettled at Viscount Melbourne's remarks, and declared that he would not follow his schemed, The Noble Duke said that Sir Robert Peel had found out other deficiencies, which were not mentioned in the Budget, The Bill was read a second time. The Poor•law Commission Bill went through a Committee. Other Bills were forwarded a stage, and several petitions for the repeal of the Corn-laws were presented. Lord Brougham announced his intention of calling their Lord ships' attention to the subject of slavery to-day. Their Lordships then adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post, commenting on Lord Brougham's speech in the House of Lords a few evenings since, on the subject of the bribery practised at the late elections, says :—" It is our belief that the changes produced by the Act of 1832 did greatly extend the possibilities of getting into Parliament by means of bribery and intimi dation, and therefore to that Act (along with whatever good it may have done) may justly be attributed the evil also to which Lord Brougham has drawn attention. But it is not our purpose to argue that question now. Though it were admitted by all that the changes produced by the Reform Act were the immediate cause of the increased bribery, still it would not follow that such a result was reasonably to be expected, The real cause lies 'deeper than any Act of Parliament It is in the immorality of the bribers and the bribed. If these two classes were manly and honest, the new system created by the Reform Act might have been carried into practice without producing any increase of corrupt voting."— If, as the Post states, the Reform Act has greatly in creased the facilities of bribery, an additional argument is adduced in favour of the Ballot, which is the only sure means of putting a stop to such a crying evil. But this • is a remedy which a Tory journalist will never advocate. Ire will cant about bribery, as Joseph Surface canted about morality, .because it looks decent and respectable ; but he will never seriously set about its removal, because he knows well, that by so doing, he will be depriving his party of one of its most powerful weapons. It is on the broad shoulders of bribery and corruption that the Tories have lifted themselves into office. It is bribery that has swelled their majority to ninety-one ; it is bribery that has enabled them, with a plausible appearance of truth, to cry out, "Reaction !"—and, so long as they have an influential voice in the State, never will they apply more than a skin-deep remedy to the abuse that has made them what they are, The Times is delighted with the Earl of Shrewsbury's pamphleg chiefly, we presume, because it aims a blow at the authority of O'Connell in Ireland. " Never," says our Contemporary, " never were the Irish Roman Catholic priests addressed by a sincerer friend than the Earl of Shrewsbury—never was justice so impartially awarded to the more exemplary members of their order, as well as to the more. turbulent—nor is it possible to conceive a series of suggestions better fitted than his Lordship's to encourage the virtuous conduct of the one class, or to restrain the unseemly excesses of the other, or to advance their the, respectability and usefulness. Not only does the Noble Earl declare his conviction that the Irish Roman Catholics are now ab solutely free from all degrading disparagements, and from every imaginable contingency that can justify their hostility to the Protestant Church, or their distrust of a Conservative Government, but that the alleged grievances still palmed upon them by O'Connell, (even including the vevatious question respecting the right to Church property) are wholly visionary or grossly exaggerated, and in either case, if susceptible of redress at all, such as can by . no means justify the a g itators obtaining plans for it." If the " allege grievances" which O'Connell declaims against, were " wholly visionary"—as the Times hints in the above passage—never would he exercise the vast influence that ho exercises throughout the length and breadth of Ireland. It is not the shadow, but the sub stance, of ill that engenders discontent in a country. People do not rally by thousands round a leader who goes forth to battle only against the phantom of a griev ance ! They clamour, not from imagined evils, but from the actual iron pressure of adversity. It is the thorn rankling in their side that extorts their cry of suf fering. Mr. O'Connell is only . powerful because Ireland is oppressed, and his power is in exact proportion to the extent of that oppression. The Morning Advertiser says :—" The independent labourer is reduced to the condition of subsisting with out the ordinary necessaries of life, while the idlers of society are revelling in abundance! How astounding would such a fact as this be, had not our experience fa miliarised us to its existence l As the national wealth has increased, the comforts and enjoyments of the labour ing chases hare been diminished. As the means of abridging manual labour have been multiplied, the toil of the labouring classes has become more severe and protracted. As the power of facilitating and multiply ing productions has been enlarged, the consumption of the labouring portion of the community has been cur tailed Instead of increasing in comfort and happiness, in proportion as the country has increased in scientific knowledge, and its application to the purposes of production, the Industrious part of the population has become impoverished and debased, and deprived of one tomfort after another, until they are found—we speak Vitt Parliamentary authority—absolutely lying by hundreds in one locality from utter inanition !" F riliS the state of things that Sir Robert Peel is called on to remedy ; but for this he has no remedy ; or if he has, he declines to make it known. He is prompt enough at remedying the imperfect ventilation of the House of Commons ; but the starving thousands must wait five long dreary winter months, before he condescends even to inquire into their condition ! Alas, how many will have died off from the face of the earth, utterly worn out by the pressure of hunger and disease, before that anxiously-desired period arrives ! But what cares Toryism for the sufferings of the people, so long as it can feather its own nest, and provide handsomely for its own callow brood ? But the hour of retribution is at hand. The starving, half-frenzied operative, at whose wretched hearth the gaunt phantom, Despair, sits,a con stant guest, will not wait--cannot be expected to wait— the return of Spring before his sufferings are redressed. He will force the Tories, however reluctantly, into a prompt consideration of his case ; or such an uproar will arise throughout the country, as will hurl them from their snug, easy posts in Downing-street, The Chronicl2, alluding- to certain rumours respecting dissensions in the Cabinet, says—" It is tolerably cer tain that if any material change is to take place in the Corn-laws, the Right Hon. Baronet must get rid of some of his colleagues in the interval between this and the next Session. If we could suppose Sir Robert Peel to believe either that there was no distress in the country, or that the distress was not mainly caused by the opera tion of the Corn-law, we might also suppose that too much importance has been attached to the supposed divisions in the Cabinet. But the belief has very gene rally gained ground, notwithstanding some equivocal speeches of the Premier, that he is anxious n to : pro t pose a much more important change..than _his p_r_ese,, colleagues will consent -.So, -and : that the Cabinet must. therefore undergo, cre 10ng,.. a ; . material .c.hange• Whatever change may= ogb l P4 tween this and - splingibiwthitticis t he change - m ust b.. for the better, for it cannot possibly be for the worse. We defy Sir Robert Peel, v'itl 'iarverse ingenuity, to find amore unpopular Colleagiie than the Duke of Buckingham. His Grace and Sir James Graham are "loads that might sink a navy." 'They are a con stant drag-chain on the .movements of the. Premier. And yet he talks of his . independence—and at the very time, too, when the chain is clanking at his heels ! We tell him that he is the mere tool—the puppet of the aristocracy, and this is the price he pays for his elevation. The plebeian Premier may. ,be .the nominal ruler, but his patrician colleagues are the Viceroys over him. The Herald pays the following tribute to the merits of the Duke of Wellington:-" No sooner does any one of the ConServative Ministers utter in Parliament a truth distasteful, nut to the OppOsition—for Lord Melbourne, with his usual contempt for facts and realities, assures the country that there is no party of legislators united for the pnrpose of opposing the Peel Administration—but to the Whig , Radicals,•than he is assailed by their organs with a yell of execration. Thus on Friday evening the Duke of Wellington simply stated a truth as palpable to every one who will use his senses as the nose that completes and adorns hiS face, and on Saturday morning he was forth - with denounced as a monster, and as a modern Herod. He whose whole life has been, with a single interruption, one great and remarkable example of foresight and cir cumspection, is declared to be now incapable of making contemporaneous observations on the most ordinary sub ject, because he announced a fact adverse to dishone.tt and unsuccessful agitation. He who, while leading on British armies to victory for more than twenty years, never sullied the British flag by one act of unnecessary harshness, is now vituperated as cruel, because he will not deceive the public."—Our Contemporary here boldly refutes an assertion that has never been advanced.. " He makes the giants first, and then he kills them." No one ever called the Duke of Wellington " a monster," or a " modern Herod," for stating that there was enough food in the country—no one ever dreamed of such an absurdity. The worst that has ever been alleged against his Grace by Reformers is, that he is rather behind, than in advance or, the times, as respects legislation. We quote the following from the Berwick Advertiser : —" While the new Ministry reign supreme in the House of COmmons, public feeling sets in against them strong out of doors. In every part of the country meetings are in the course of being held, to deprecate the heartless postponement of public business over the winter. As might be expected, the strongest indignation is every where expressed against such a procedure." The Somerset Gazette observes, in an article sug gested by the approaching prorogation :—" Sir Robert can only retrieve himself by meeting the' country with tenfold liberality next February, as some small compen sation for the delay. He must give in tenfold degree then. But that he may be stimulated to do so, the country must make good use of the intervenirg five months." The Hereford Times says of the present Government : —" Among the many fine things which the country was promised, whenever the Tories returned to power, was the practice of economy, which, we were assured, would-stand in strong contrast with the profligacy of the Whigs. But the Tories are in power, and the preach ing of economy has passed away, and we have in its stead th• practice of profligacy." The Paisley Advertiser remarks, in reference to the state of the poor in that tows—" There is great distress, great privation, great suffering. In Johnstone there are 120 families, comprising 300 individuals, in such distress as to be unable, without aid, to obtain food, clothing, or pay, for shelter. The distress in Paisley has increased more this week 'than during any week since its commencement. The number applying for re lief has increased 118, and now in all 804, amounting, with dependents, to above 2,400." The Scotsman thus speaks of the present Ministry : " They see trade in a state of extreme depression, poverty and famine stalking over the land, and, after immeasurable bonding of their power to save the country, -thiiy confess .they can do nothing I Their excuses are worse than ridicu lous. There are men in the party—Herries and Goulburn, for instance—who are familiar ith every part of our system of taxation, and who know just as well at present how money may, or may not, be raised, as they will do in February next. They are not profound men by any means ; but we may safely say that the intervening five months will not add a single idea to their stock." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCZ. The Leeds wool-trade has been tolerable this last week. The recent heavy Manchester failures have made the Huddersfield market comparatively dull. The Rochdale flannel market has been thin, and fallen off. Halifax trade has also been less animated. _ _ The distressed hand-loom weavers held a meeting at Manchester on Thursday last, when emigration to the United States was resolved upon, and the gentry of the town and country at large solicited for the purpose. The Leeds Intilligencer announces the failure of a large and long established manufacturing house at Hudders field. It is said that certain woolstaplers in Leeds alone are sufferers to the amount of 20,0001. The occurrence has created a painful sensation throughout the manufacturing districts of the West-Riding. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A boat's crew of the Medea, having been pelted with stones in passing an Egyptian ship of the line at night time, the delinquents, three in number, were soundly .flogged at the Admiralty, Alexandria. The appointment of a new Naval Knight of Windsor has just been conferred on Lieut. Henslow, R.N., in the stead of Lieut. Jones, lately deceased. Lieut. C. Carter succeeds to the Governorship of Travers's Naval Col lege, Windsor. Sir John Rennie is surveying the Ramsgate coast to ascertain the practicability of forming a harbour of refuge there, to be capable of containing a fleet of men of-war. The removal of the Sunderland lighthouse from the north pier, in an entire state, to the eastern extremity of the pier, a distance of nearly 500 feet, was safely and successfully completed on Thursday last. LAW AND POLICE. --- Gavin Scott, who, after robbing his employers at Glasgow of 8,0001., fled to Marseilles, and was arrested there by Forrester the officer, was convicted on his own confession at the Glasgow Assizes last week, and sen tenced to be transported for life. At Worship-street, on Saturday, John Richards, charged with improper conduct towards several of tho girls of the Finsbury charity school, was brought up for final examination, and not being disposed to find bail, was committed to take his trial on four charges. AGRICULTUE , ILL. Between Banffandillgin the crops are mostly cut, and gathered into the stackyard ; but between Aberdeen and Turriff the fields are studded with stooks.
