It has frequently been a theme of exultatioth with the Tory Journals that the Chartists wern! against the Liberals; and not unfrequently, we. believe, the Tories have bribed a mob to inter. • rupt the public meetings of the enemies of the Corn-laws. They will come, we further believe, to repent alike of their exultation and their en couragement. A report of a public meet ing for the Propagation of the Gospel, at tempted to be held at Norwich last Thursday, which we borrow from the Norwich Gazette, a Tory Journal, will prove to the Tories that the instructions they have given will be profitably acted on against themselves. No SYDNEY SMITH, lecturing on a troubled qnestion of poli tical economy, was interrupted; but the Lord. Lieutenant of the County of Norfolk, surrounded by the clergy and the elite of the diocese, and attended by many ladies, all assembled together for that long and much-lauded purpose of pro moting the propagation of the Gospel, wa; pre vented from even opening a meeting, and was forced, with the clergy and ladies, to ret rea t pre cipitately from St. A odrew's Hall. The meeting was broken up ; the people, who will probably be called heathens, could not tolerate the propaga tion of the Gospel while they were starving; they exclaimed against feeding slaves and pay ing slave-owners, while they were in want of food; they demanded more bread and less Bibles ; more pigs and less parsons ; and they drove away discomfited, though probably not ashamed, the men who, pretending to be minis ters of CHnlsr, have leagued with the land owners to oppress the poor. We deem it right to say that the language is probably exaggerated, in order to paint the op ponents of the parsons in as black colours as possible to the rest of the community. Making allowance for that—believing that the words were not so coarse as reported—enough remains to show that the spirit which now animates the multitude is essentially and decidedly hostile to the clergy and the aristocracy. Will the latter, then, while they pretend to govern the multi tude for their own good, dare to coerce the mul titude, and cut them down openly if they resist being starved by law ? We are afraid that the Tory Government will. It is made as strong ai it can be for the purpose of sustaining our pre sent starvation, murderous laws; and, after the sentiment recently avowed by the Lord Presi dent of the Council, seeing also that there are two soldiers in the Cabinet, we believe that the Tory Government will be prompt in repressing every expression which it dislikes, however just may be that expression of popular indignation. The people must be well aware that in this country, with unwritten laws, with Magistrates who belong to the class of bread-taxers, with Judges prone to strain as well as make the law, legality depends entirely on the arbitrary will of Magistrates and Judges. The people must not conclude, therefore, when they act from the honest promptings of their own hearts, when their woe breaks out in the just but strong language of wrath, that the Magistrates cannot punish them by the help of the law. Law and justice are totally distinct ; and they must be prepared, though they act strictly ithin the bounds of justice, to be visited, per secuted, punished, and coerced, in the name of the law. The men who pass laws to take a penny from every poor man's loaf to put into their own pockets, which at the same time put an end to employment, and prevent poor men from having the means of earning a loaf, are not, the people may well believe, such ninnies at the business of law-making as not to surround themselves with all the protection which law can give them. Consequently, if any of the people propose to act as the men at Norwich acted, they must be pre pared to encounter all the terrors by which law makers have ever sought to subdue and awe the multitude into slavish obedience. They will, it is to be feared, act now, as they generally act, from mere impulse, without calculating the cost, or organizing any means of success ; and, like their forefathers, it is to be apprehended, by at tempting to recover their freedom, they will only strengthen the hands of their oppressors. Their impelling motive speaks out as plainly as their words. They are hungry. Some of them get only five dinners between Easter and Mi chaelmas. They declare, from personal expe rience, that they are worse fed than the slaves of the West Indies. They are flogged, as they express it, in their belly, while the negroes are only flogged on their back. Their whole soul is bent on having some food ; and more food, we believe, they will have, or they will rush on the armed bands of the aristocracy, and there find a less painful death than the daily dying to which they are now exposed. " There is great distress (we are told by a Cor respondent) amongst the weavers and labourers in this city. There are 314 persons in the work house,-and the average weekly cost for main tenance, per head, is two shillings and threepence halfpenny There were 2,021 tickets issued for out-door cases of relief for the week ending the 2d October, amounting to 2681. Bs. 6c1., and in the corresponding periods of last' year 'there were only 1,766 cases, and we have an awful prospect for the winter." Awful prospect indeed ! and the Tories have taken all the awful responsibility of such a condition of society on themselves, and have assumed the tremendous and awful responsibility of continuing at this time the starvation laws, with as much smirking, smiling, self-complacency, as if they were so many dancing masters, solicited to preside at a hal pare. Their modest assurance perfectly self-satisfied, while the heavens are louring, and the big black tornado is gathering around, while the distant thunder growls, and the streaked lightning only as yet faintly shows the coming danger, while they obstinately keep aloft all the gew-gaws and flying kites of aris tocracy, and will take no means to save the State, is one of the most alarming signs of the times. They are accustomed to deal with Parliament as a little girl deals with a doll. It is the creature of her will. It walks when she moves it, puts forth its legs and arms, opens its eyes, answers ques tions, plays at school, just as its little mistress likes, and she is not more absolute master of it than the Tory Ministers are, for the present, of the Parliament. For them, as for her, the doll, or the Parliament, is the whole world; and, more childish than the child, they are easy in toying with the great affairs of mankind, b(- cause they fancy that in ruling the Parliament, Sir R. PEEL'S doll, they are ruling society. They are fatally mistaken ; and if the flashes at Norwich, and the louring clouds spreading in other directions, do not make them quake at their own arrogant presumption, it will go hard for England. A man who once gets a crotchet into his head is as sure to live and die with it as with his head itself. There is Lord WESTERN, for example, who still insists, in a supplement to his Letter to Lord JOIIN RUSSELL," that " the Currency is the grand master grievance which he wishes the members of the Manchester Chamber of Com merce to rivet their attention upon." Now the currency has really come to play a most insig nificant part in our affairs, for it has been re duced fully one-half since 1817, and the lesser quantity carries on a vast deal more business than the greater quantity did in 1817. All that the law does touching the currency is to give a monopoly of the issue of promises to pay within a certain district to the Bank of Eng. land, and to fix an arbitrary price for gold, making it the standard, so as to raise our standard and lower our prices about four per cent. in comparison with those countries which use a silver standard. Both these are foolish and mischievous acts, but no man, not currency mad, will believe that such paltry, inefficient, com paratively uninfluential circumstances, can have produced the stoppa ge o f our trade, the ruin i of our manufactures, and the wide -spread distress which, even according to Sir R. PEEL, has now prevailed for a considerable time. ' The defectke state of the currency does not starve the people, but the Corn -laws derange the currency, as Mr. COBDEN forcibly points out in a letter to Lord WESTERN, and produce a ll the evils growing out of that derangement which Lord WESTERN asserts is owing to a gold standard. His panacea for our distress is in an other Bank Restriction Act, to carry us through the same vicissitudes • of temporary prosperity, national bankruptcy, and the permanent degra dation of the people as the other. His Lordship is as enthusiastic in favour of unredeemable promises to pay, as ever was Mr.InvING for the un known tongues, or Mr. OWEN for his new plan of society. The Noble Lord says : " Protect the Bank in administering to the commer cial wants of the country ; distress would vanish, the re venue recover, all would again be alive. It is as neces sary now as when Mr. Pitt threw hii shield over the Bank, why should it occasion alarm ? The Bank would be just as solvent with closed doors as it is in its present state." We turn over to the next page, and we find the Noble Lord asserts : " I will only submit one further opinion to your consi - *Publishtti by Eidg-way. deration. I think that the fixing the price of gold arbi trarily at 31 17s. 10id. an ounce clearly must bring d )wn, or rather keep down, the price of the products of. labour, and labour itself, to the same proportionate low standard with gold itself. I say must, unless counteracted, as it is to a certain degree by paper, and that variation in value between the paper and gold MUST make the cur rency unsteady and insufficient. The Noble Lord, however, while the Legis lature has passed a law to keep down the price of the products of labourers and of labour itself' insists on maintaining another law which is ex pressly intended to exempt, as Lord STANLEY proved, the price of agricultural produce from the operation of this law, and keep it high when the gold law beats down all other prices. Now, Lord WESTERN forgets to tell the public that the same landlords who made the one law made the other. They did not do this blindly ; they knew what they were about, as Sir J. GRAHAM has testified in the following passage:— " The landowners," he said, writing in 1826, 'BARGAINED IN THE LAST SESSION WITH THE KING'S MINISTERS TO SUPPORT A FARTHER CONTRACTION OF THE CURRENCY, ON THE CON DITION THAT THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT DE STROY THEIR MONOPOLY BY A REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS." the Political Chief of the capital, prescribing certani formalities to be observed in the transfers of Stock ( n the Madrid Stock Exchange, in order to hinder stock brokers front speculating on their own behalf in opera tions for account; and also another order for hindering Stork transactions front being carried on anywhere but on the Exchange. The President of the Civil Tribunal of Toulon, M. Reyrnonencq. was thrown out of his carriage, a few days since, near that town, and the wheel passing over him crushed his legs and both feet in so dreadful a manner that, after lingering 48 hours, he died in great suffering. The tribunal of Correctional Police of Macon has sen tenced to various periods of imprisonment, from, three days to six months, twenty more persons, amongst whom were four women, for the recent riot at that place. The Progres du Pus-de-Calais announces that Baron de Coetdihuel, Government agent for purchasing horses for the army, has, upon a commission from the Minister of Commerce, purchased in England for the French Go vernment the fine stallion Physician, at the high price of 60,375 f. The Government has also bought of Lord H. Seymour his stallions Oak-stick and Chip of the Old Block, at 9,0001. each. _ _ The illoniteur publishes a Royal orilonnance of 3d inst., preceded by a report from the Minister of Public Instruction, according to which no one can attain the degree of doctor of medicine in any of the Medical Faculties without having followed a year at least the service of an hospital either at, an externe, or as a simple medical pupil. Other minor regulations connected with this order are contained in the same document. Some sailors were a few days ago at work in the paddle- boxes of the steam-frigate the Lavoisier, lying at Paimbmuf, when the wheels turned and broke the thigh of ono of them t -o dreadfully that he died soon afterwards in the hospital. Six others were thrown into the water. Two were drowned, and four were saved by boats which put off immediately from the shore. Saint Etienne was visited on the 2d instant by a vio lent storm, which inundated the town and terrified the inhabitants; but We do nut learn that any damage of im portance was done. At Saint Genest Lerpt, however, a journeymzn ribbon-weaver was killed at his loom by the lightning, and a farm at Moutchal was struck, and had its barn and other buildings set on fire and three cows killed. The railroads of the Loire and the Rhone were stopped for a time by the earth brought down upon them by the torrents. The body of a drowned man was found in the meadows, where it had bzen thrown by the cur rent of the Giers. The flooding of the Rhone having inundated the lower parts of the town of Givors, the in habitants dreading a renewal of the disasters of last year, removed their goods in all haste to the upper town, where they themselves took refuge. The railroad is co vered in several places by the waters. M. Raymond Coste, responsible editor of the Temps, has surrendered himself to prison in execution of the late judgment against him for violating the laws of the press. Among the trees on the south side of the Tuileries Garden is now to be seen a chestnut-tree in blossom, as if it were spring. The quantity of ices consumed annually at the re staurants, coffee-houses * and confectioners of Paris, is calculated at 8,000,000 kilogrammes' (16,000,0001b5. English), and the estimated value about 600,000 francs. The Rhone, a Lyons journal, says that the number of persons arrested there is nine, and that they are accused of belonging to a secret association, holding its sittings at uncertain places and periods. " This society," it adds, " was called the Charbonnerie Reformee. Loaded arms, proclamations, and other convicting evidence, were found at the place of their last meeting, and leave no doubt of the criminal views of the members." The Infante Don Francisco de Paula, as is announced by the MOniteur Parisien, took his departure from Bor deaux for Spain on Wednesday. Quoting its correspondence with Bayonne, the Moni tear Parisien says, that on the 4th inst. Gen. Piquerro supported the movement of O'Donnell, by proclaiming the Regency of Queen Christina at Vittoria, and the maintenance of the Fueros. This journal adds that a squadron of horse at Bergara had joined the insurrec tion, and that General Alcala had in consequence marched there with two battalions. They actually bargained away the rights and liberties of the people—for a free trade in money is one of those rights—in order to be allowed to retain the monopoly. The contraction of the currency, which Lord WESTERN condemns, was, in fact, an act of the law-making landlords, and they consented to make it on condition that it was not to affect them. These are the honour able, high-minded, opulent, independent land owners of England—such are our law-makers and the leaders of society ! When they are im mersed in such a quagmire of profligate disho nesty, how can the multitude, who follow them, stand on the firm ground of honesty, rectitude, and frugality ? The worst effect of their abomi nable conduct is its corrupting influence on the whole society. The British public may very naturally wish to be informed of the light in which our struggle with China is regarded by the French Press. To gratify public curiosity in this respect, we quote the following article from the Courrier Fran cais. We shall make no comment upon it, other than to observe, that we have not heard of any refusal on the part of our gallant sailors in the Chinese seas, to proceed to any part of the coast indicated by the Commander-in-Chief of the ex pedition. With respect to the ultimate results of the expedition, we may be pardoned if we think it rather soon to discuss them : " The conflict of the British forces with the Chinese troops brings to mind the wonders effected in the con quest of Mexico by Fernand Cortez. The Chinese are not better armed than the Mexicans were, and their Em peror is far from showing the courage of Guatimozin. Whilst the English are cannonading his towns, he is amusing himself with decisions as to the proper length of the silk gowns and tunics of his Generals. It is evident from the accounts which have reached us, that 10,000 Europeans, backed by a respectable fleet, and well provided with ammunition and stores, would be able to march through China without difficulty, and to levy contribu tions upon its 300,000,000 of inhabitants. The English, however, will not attempt this gigantic enterprise. Of what use would it be for them to take what they could not keep. According to the Bombay Gazette, the expedition, after having taken possession of Amoy, will proceed to Ning-po, and from thence to Pekin. The season appears to us to be too advanced and the force to small for such an expedition. It is possible that Amoy may be taken possession of, and that Ning-po, which commands the mouth of the great river and the Gulf of Nankin, may be insulted, or a ransom be demanded from it; for Ning bo is not much farther from Canton than the island of Chusan, which has been already occupied by Admiral Elliot. But Pekin is situated at the extremity of China, five or six hundred leagues to the north of Canton, and already have the crews of the ships, dreading the storms which are so violent in the Chinese seas, refused to take that course. In an attack upon Amoy or Ning-po the fleet could support the land forces; but this would not be the case with an expedition against the city of Pekin. In order to attack the Emperor in the seat of his power, there must be a force large enough to occupy the inter mediate positions, and to secure a communication with the sea. This could not be done with the force under the command of Sir James Bremer, which do not amount to more than 3,000 land troops. The war of the English against China will produce them, perhaps, in the form of contributions, a sum equal to its expense. They • may, moreover, take up a position on the coast which may put the trade of this part of the world entirely in their hands. We question, however, whether they will be able to triumph over the inert resistance which is opposed to them, and which will long continue to be opposed to them, by Cie peculiar civilisa tion of the Chinese. This civilisation has a horror of foreigners, and does not even permit intercourse with their conquerors. We see the English masters of the approaches to Canton, and levying a contribution upon the city, but not daring to enter it, and establish themselves there. All that will result to Europe from so imposing an expedition will be a more correct plan of the coasts of China, but we shall know nothing more than we now know of the customs, public and private, of this singular people. The Chinese have proved that their guns do not reach the mark ; and we have seen them fighting with their swords and bucklers like the Tartars of the twelfth century ; but as to everything else, we derive no more information from the English expedition than the missionaries and other travellers have told us. The wall, which separates China from civilised Europe, opposes an invincible repugnance to contact with us ; it seems to be a barrier which recedes from us, as we advance with the hope of surmounting it." During the last month, the first since the opening of the whole length of the road between Strasburgh and Bale, the number of passengers has amounted to 93,265, and the receipts to 216,000 f. Our Madrid correspondent writes on the 30th ult. that it is now considered doubtful whether M. Onis will ac cept the post of Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. In case of his not having taken the office, it would pro bably be offered, it was said, to M. Marliani. A letter from Alexandria of the 26th ult., in the Sud of Marseilles, states that Mehemet Ali has acceded to the proposition of the East India Company for the transit of merchandise across the isthmus of Suez, on payment of 4 per cent. duty, and that all that remains to be done is to fix the line which goods and caravans are to take. It was supposed that this would produce the Pacha an annual revenue of 500,000 talons. M. Cramer, the Russian Consul, has been formally pre sented to the Paella, and had a private audience of an hour. A duel was said to hare taken place at Alex andria, between M. Barnau and M. Arago, two French gentlemen, in which the latter fell ; and a fracas was talked of between Dr. Clot Bey and M. Harnont.—Ac cording to another letter in the Quotidienne, Colonel Napier has returned from the coast of Syria to Alex andria, dangerously ill of dysentery. The Marquis de Pastoret has sent in the following letter:—" Sir—l have this moment received a letter from Kirchberg, which states, that the Duke of Bordeaux is getting better and better ; that he got up to-day, the 29th of September, completely dressed himself, and re ceived all the French who were at Kirchberg. It is de r sired that I should make this news known to all our friends, and I hasten to communicate them to you, begging to publish my letter.—Accept, &c. •" The Marquis de PASTORET." —La Gazette de' France. It is said that the partizans of the Queen Christina's Regency have plenty of money, and that they have long since been endeavouring to influence the army against Espartero, but we must never judge except on positive data. The Phare deg Pyrennes of the 6th, says that Gene rals Jauregui (El Pastor), Urbistendi, and.lturbide, have declared in favour of Christina. The Memorial de au, says it was General Espi nosa who aided O'Donnell in his enterprise, and Diego Leon will probably declare in favour of it. The Memorial 80, delais of the 7th, has the following letter from the frontier; :—" The troops cantoned in the village. in the extreme Spanish frontiers, Urdax and Zugarsamurdi, left on the 3d at eight o'clock for Elisonde ; it is not known what they intend to do, but everything indicates a new war in that unhappy country." —Le Commerce. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday, with full details of the insurrection in Spain, which we have given in another part of The Sun. The cloudy state of the atmosphere prevented the French Govern ment from receiving the following despatches before the afternoon of Friday :-- " BAYONNE, OCT. 7. " THE GENERRAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER AT WAR. " On the sth O'Donnell, having been reinforced by a battalion, summoned the town. Riheiro refused ; the citadel opened its fire. W heard the cannonade during the night. " The brigade of Conchs, at Trafalla, declared for Espartero." " BAYONNE, OCT. 7. " THE SODS-PREFET TO THE MINISTER OF TILE INTERIOR. " On the morning of the sth Bilboa declared in favour of Queen Christina. The inhabitants, ' the National Guard, and the whole garrison of 1,500 men, unani mously pronounced themselves. Santa Cruz, the Com mandant of the province, alone dissented." " BAYONNE., OCT. 8. THE SOUS-PREFET TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. •' General Alcaia hag fallen back from Tolosa to Ber gara. It is believed he returns to San Sebastian. Every thing was quiet at Madrid on the morning of the 4th. The movement spreads in Biscay and Alava." No one has any doubt that LOUIS-PHILIPPE is at the bottom of this insurrection in favour of the ex-Regent CHRISTINA, in whose name all General O'DONNELL'S proclamations are issued, and whose signature they bear. This infamous woman has leagued herself with the discontented clergy, of whose alleged rights she proclaims herself the de fender. It is said that negotiations have been for some time carried on between herself and Don CARLOS, and that she is quite willing to be stow the hand of the young Queen upon the eldest son of the Pretender, provided he consent to wed her as Queen, himself bear ing the title of Prince of the Austurias. To this Don CARLOS will not consent. He wants the QUEEN to become queen in right of mar riage with his son, in whose favour he is willing to abdicate his pretensions to the sovereignty. We suppose that this deli cate question will be left to the arbitration of the King of the FRENCH, for it does not appear that it is so much as suggested that Great Britain has any concern at all about the matter. . _ " A short time ago," says a letter from Alencon, " some wretches entered the house of a person named Gaine, at Bern, near Alen con, by the roof, and having beaten him with sticks, and stabbed him with a knife, strangled him by a rope, and placing the dead body in a bed, which they surrounded with wood and tow, set tire to the bed. As soon as the lire was perceived, the neighbours rushed to the spot, and succeeded in extin guishiag it before the house was more than partially burnt. A great portion of the body of the murdered man, however, had been consumed. On the following day several persons were arrested on suspicion of being the murderers, and among s; them was a man named Dran, who, it i s sa id , h ad purchased the revers i on of some property b e l ong i ng to Gaine, and had attempted to cut down some wood upon it, but had been opposed by Game. The murdered man had the reputation amongst the country people of being at sorcerer, and it appears lent money at an usurious rate of interest." Mr. Bulwer has left Paris for London. The Hon.

Haureau, the responsible editor of the Courrier de la Sarthe, were proceeded against some time ago, M. Ledru Rollin for delivering, and M. Haureau for publishing, a speech to the electors, in which M. Ledru Rollin is charged with a libel upon the Chambers and the 'Government. The Cour Royale of Angers had ordered the trial to take place at the Assizes of Le Mans, but the Procureur-General of Angers ap plied to the Court of Cassation to have another Court of Assize substituted, assigning as a ground for this ap plication that a fair trial could not be had at Le Mans. The appeal came before the Court of Cassation yester day, and after having heard M. Ledru Rollin and the Avocat-General, M. Hello, the . Court ordered that the trial should take place at the Assizes of the Marne. et- Loire (Angers). After delivering this decision the Pre sident, addressing M. Ledru, said, "M. Ledru, the Court would not interrupt your address, but it is bound to de clare that if it had not been indulgent for a defence which regarded yourself, it would not have tolerated the unconstitutional doctrines which you have just put forth, and your disrespectful language towards the judi cial authorities." REIGATE REGISTRATION. —An informality in the making of the poor's-rates, which prevented the electors of Reigate from paying them, being deemed a sufficient reason for disfranchising a considerable por tion of the constituency of the borough, a notice of ob jection to their votes was served, on the part of Mr. John Flint, upon the overseer, according to the form prescribed by the Reform Act. The overseer, however, neglected to exhibit the same on the church door, by which he rendered himself liable to the penalty of 5001. When the Revising Barristers held their Court, in con sequence of the overseer neglecting to cause the objec tions to be publicly exhibited, they refused to hear the case, which, had they done, they would probably have decided in favour of the objections, and so-have opened a favourable opportunity for wresting. the borough from its present abject position.—A Cirrespat (Litt. Several persons who had claimed to vote for the North Riding of Yorkshire, for shares in the Great North of England Railway Company, have been struck off. It was h e ld th a t, being members of an in corporated Company, and the shares being declared by the Act to be personal property, they are not en titled to vote. SEIZURES OF SLAvEBS.—Capt. A. Ward, of Salem, who came passenger from Manilla, in the ship Grotius, bound to this port, which vessel was off Gay- Head yesterday afternoon, informed Mr. Hatch, of the Express, that when the ship WI St. Helena, there were seven vessels, with seven hundred slaves, at that place, prizes to her Britannic Majosay's cruisers. The last of the seven arrived on the 2d of March, and had thrown overboard sixty dead slaves in sight of 6t. Helena.---Ja -1711 lea Paper, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vublic Opinion. " Who runs may read." ronlaGN. The insurrection •in Spain is assuming a very serious aspect. ~ B y.:the, : accounts from the north of Spain' re ceived in Paris on Saturday, it appears that Villa Franca, Atun, Vittoria, Santorin i and Bilboa, have all declared in favour of General O'Donnell, who still remained in the citadel of Pampeluna. San Sebastian is now the only town of military importance in the . Basques that adheres to the Regency of Eepartero. As O'Donnell has reared the standard of the Pope in conjunction with that of Maria Christina, he will find plenty of partisans among the cLirgy. :Generals Jaregny (El Pastor), Urbistende, and Itur bide, are reported to have declared for Christina. In the meantime the partisans of the Ex-Regent in Paris are beside themselves with joy. They assert that a speedy movement of their friends. in Valencia, Barcelona, Se ville, Malaga, and even Madrid, may be hourly expected. The whole of the opposition press of Paris are unani mous in declaring the King to be at the bottom of the insurrection in Spain. They are right. It is by the machinations of Louis Philippe that the fields of Spain are again about to be saturated with the blood of her brave but misguided people. Hints are thrown out of a probable invasion of Spain by France. What will the British Government say to this ? We have accounts of another insurrectionary move ment in Mexico. That country will share the fate of anciex.t Media, as related by Herodotus, which, from being the ruler of Persia, came' at last to be governed by it. In like manner Mexico, which gave laws to Texas, is doomed to becomr, sooner or later, a province of the New Republic. The elements of national disso lution are concentrated in the very heart of Mexican society. PUBLIC OPINION. The Penny Postage is not in much favour with the Morning Herald, which, accordingly, advocates an in crease of the rate:—" For our own parts we honestly confess a desire that a return should-be made, not to the old rates of postage, but to such a rate as, while it would not check correspondence, would improve the revenue; it being evident that a much higher rate than the pre sent would not restrict written intercourse, would be cheerfully borne by the public, and would he most bene ficial to the Treasury. The Penny Postage is an incon testable example of the danger of adopting the wise saws of political economy in all their ultimate simplicity; yet, during the Parliamentary discussions on this sub ject, Mr. Rowland Hill constantly vociferated that his great discovery (!) would fiscally fail unless his penny plasters were adopted."—An increase of the rate—not withstanding the Herald's assertion to the contrary— .would unquestionably have the effect of restricting "the written intercourse" of the working classes of society, and so far, would be an obstacle thrown in the way of their intellectual improvement. Regarding the matter in this light, we should not be at all surprised if the Tories were to attempt an increase of the Postage rate, for what do they care about the interests of the labouring classes, so long as their own remain uninjured? The Advertiser thus comments on the Duke of Wel lington's late strange declaration in the House of Lords respecting the distresses of the country :—" There is plenty of food, he avows—no less than three million quarters of corn, in addition to the produce of our own harvest ; and yet, in his Grace's estimation—the man whose knowledge and wisdom, preside over the Cabinet, and mould its policy—in his Grace's estimation, Parlia ment could not relieve the distress ;' he has seen Parliament sit for many years, and distress always com plained of ; but he has never seen measures proposed which could create work '—the want of work, not the want of food, being, in his Grace's opinion, the cause of the prevailing distress. Let the sufferers take comfort from that ! They have been suffering for many years ; why should they now become impatient ? Habit is said to be second nature ; and his Grace of Welling ton has therefore some rete:on for thinking that long habits of fasting should long since have reconciled the poor to the process of starvation."—if the Tories could change places with the working classes, and be put upon a course of starvation for the next five months, they would be clamorous for an inves tigation into their case, long before that period had ex pired. They would not allow themselves to be put off— as they now put off the destitute operatives—with a vague promise that their situation should be inquired into next February. It would be no satisfactory answer to them, that the amusements of their betters must be considered before their own necessities. They would not rest contented with a smooth speech from Sir Robert Peel. No, they would boldly take the question into their own hands, for no one is so desperate and deter mined as a Tory . , when his personal interests are invadid. Witness his conduct on the Reform Bill, when he con vulsed the country from one extremity to the other, for the sole selfish purpose of preserving his pocket boroughs. The Chronicle is of opinion that Sir Robert Peel will have some difficulty in satisfying the expectations which he has raised among the people. We do not think so, for the people expect little or nothing from him, and cannot therefore be disappointed to any very provoking extent. The following are our Contemporary's own words :—" That.:Sir Robert Peel will- be able to satisfy the expectations- which lie.has excited is very question, able. He has to invent a scheme of protection which will satisfy the landed interest, and of enlargement And freedom of commerce to satisfy the industrious 'classes. He has to invent a scheme by which, without adding to the taxation, he is to augment the re sources of the country. He is not only to do what the Whigs proposed to effect, but he is also to do a great .deal more. He is to mitigate the rigours of monopoly, without offending or alarming the mo nopolists ; he is to make a change in the Corn-law, and yet retain the support of the agricultu rists in trying to benefit the manufacturer; and, in ad dition to equalising the income and expenditure of the country, he is to maintain the Poor-law, and yet retain the support of its opponents. The Duke of Richmond has given him leave to make a change in the Corn-law, provided he protects the agriculturist; but how fair play is to be done to the commercial and manufacturing inte rest, in conjunction with the amount of protection which will satisfy the Duke of Richmond is, we fear, a pro blem which will require a profounder mind than that of Sir Robert Peel's to solve."—A change in the Corn-law that will satisfy the Duke of Richmond, and those who think with him, will be equivalent to no change at all. The change, to be really valuable, must be exceedingly distasteful to the monopolists. The Times says—" The real misfortune is, that the distress which does exist, and which is likely to increase, is of a kind which no laws have created, and which no legislation can cure. This may be perceived from the fact, that well-informed persons anticipate a speedy re moval of the cloud which at present hangs over the mer chant and the manufacturer, without, however, at all expecting that the condition of the labouring classes will be thereby improved. Trade, they say, seems likely to get better ; the complaints of the master manufacturers may be expected to subside, but no such hope exists for the cotton-spinning operative ; he, and all connected with him, must look for the fate which has long since overtaken the handloom weavers, and from (he same cause."--If, as our Contemporary states, "no legislation can cure " the present distresses of the people, then the task of the Ministry is in one respect a sinecure, as indeed they seem strongly disposed to consider it. But for what, we ask, has Sir Robert Peel taken office, if not to ameliorate the condition of the people ? For what has he intreated five months' deliberation, if not to devise some remedy for the distresses, which all part'es acknow ledge to be generally prevalent in the count .y ? For what did he turn out the late Ministry, if not to legislate in a more efficient spirit, than he contended they could do ? If we agree with the dictum of the Times, then we must come to the conclusion that in accepting office, no thing was further from the Tory Premier's thoughts than to provide a remedy for the distress of the people, seeing that no remedy can possibly affect that distress. We quote the following from the Post :—" A politi cal petition comes up from Tamworth The Secretary of state desires to know whether the signatures are ge nuine or fraudulent, and sends down to inquire. Old fashioned honesty would have rejoiced at this, but Whig- Radical honesty was exceedingly sure (not without some reason, as it appeared upon examination), and cried out most lustily. Whig-Radicalism cannot bear that the ge nuineness of its political documents should be carefully scrutinized. Again Whig-Radical honesty made complaint of the bribery and intimidation at the late general election. Such thinge.are.very wrong, said the Conservative Prime Minister. Let the facts be inquired into, and where we find the crime let us punish it by disfranchisement with out regard to the population of the place where it has occurred,- .Does not Whig-Radical honesty rejoice and clap its hands at this ? By no means ; it is, on the con trary, very much vexed, and says that Sir Robert Peel's proposal is a distinct announcement of a wish virtually to repeal the Reform Act !' " The Plymouth Journal, r emarking on the prorogation of Parliament, says :—" We are almost tempted to wish for a power to compel the Members of a Parliament deaf to the remonstrance of reason, and the cry of distress, to remain and attend to their duty, instead of basting to the country to kill hares, partridges, and pigeons, and fine and imprison poachers." The Somerset Gazette observes, in an article on the distresses of the country-:--" England is the country for the rich ;—it is a very paradise for the privileged, for, as they make the laws, so the laws are made for their profit and advantne. But it is not a habitation for the poor, nor is it any consolation to the millions, who are unduly depressed by class legislation, that a few of the most energetic among them, when favored by a combina tion of lucky accidents, are permitted to raise themselves to rank and fortune." We quote the following remarks from the Liverpool Chronick :—" The new Ministry has justly earned for itself the title of the Apostate Ministry.' If there is any truth in the aphorism, Qui facit per alios, fiscit per se, never were so many pledges and promises broken by any Administration as those which have already been scattered to the winds by Sir R. Peel and his friends." The following is from the Dublin Evening Post : "It cannot be too often repeated that it is in England this enormous bribery—this most degrading, and eon firmed rottenness prevails, and yet it is to. England alone that the Tories are indebted for the boasted majority which has enabled them to .force themselves upon the Queen, and to seize upon the government of the country." The Scotsman says :—" The people have themselves to blame for forcing a Tory Ministry upon the Queen, and must place their chief reliance on the legitimate in fluence of public opinion, and on their own exertions in the Courts of Registration..' MONEY-TRADE—aoivxmnitc E. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are on the whole more favourable than they have been for some timel At Leeds more activity had been displayed dur:ag the last week in the wool trade, than for weeks past. The prices of cloths are steady. At Huddersfield the demand for heavy plain and fancy woollens, and light fancy goods, was considerable. In the Bradford market prices remain steady. Stocks are not accumulating. The accounts from Halifax state that long wools are'steady, and though short wool is scarcely so brisk as it was, prices are steady. The state of trade at Manchester is still very bad—the tendency is still downwards, which, with the slight advance on Cotton, makes things worse than they have ever been seen. A great number of compositors and pressmen in Lon don are said to be out of work at present, owing to the stagnation cf trade caused by the failures among book sellers. One or two meetings have been held by the jcumeymen printers preparatory to a public meeting, to consider the propriety of an appeal to the public on their behalf. The distress at Paisley continues unabated. The number of persons dependent on the relief fund amounts fully to 4,500. NAVAL AND IVIZIaTARY. The Styx steam-vessel is fitting out at Woolwich for the reception of the Bight Hon. Sir Charley Begot, G.C.8., appointed Governor-General of Canada, in the room of the deceased Lord Sydenham. The vessels composing the Niger expedition have ar rived at Sierra Leone, and everything relating to the ex pedition is favourable. COUR.T-F.A.SECIONABLE. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and the Duchess of Inverness, have left Aske Hall, for Up leathern, the Earl of Zetland's seat, near Guisborough. We are glad to learn that the Duke of Cleveland is rapidly improving in health. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleugh are expected to arrive at Montague House last evening. The Duke of Wellington returned to Apsley House yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Marquis of Londonderry arrived at Mount Stew art, the family seat in Ireland, on Thursday last. Earl de Grey leaves St. James's-square tciklay, 'for Dublin CaStle.

Sir Robert Peel gave away the bride. - Viscount Howiek is to be entertained at a public din ner at the Town Hall, Alnwick, on the 26th inst. MISCELLANEOUS. Yesterday, in 1801, died John Donaldson, the minia ture painter. At the age of 13, his pen and ink copies of Albert Durer's and Aldgrave's engravings, were by connoisseurs mistaken for originals. About six hundred horses were recently shipped from Dover for the French Cavalry, and there are about 2,500 horses in all contracted for. On Tuesday last, the body of three hundred bricklayers engaged on the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, struck their work, because the Company had engaged three or four men not belonging to the Bricklayer's Club. We hear that a Protestant Bishop is about to be con secrated for Jerusalem. A man has been lately accused at Guernsey of being a conjuror and practising delusions on the people.—lf to practis.3 delusions on the people be a proof of aecro maLey, then Sir Robert Peel must be looked on as a comiderable dealer in the black art, though it is the genes ally received opinion that he is by no means a con juror! _ _ The Belfast Vindicator says that the Pope has become a tee-totaller. A lady at Epsom rose a few mornings since at an un usually early hour, and, going into her kitchen, found her maid servants very comfortably taking their break fasts with the policeman of the beat, who, it has since been discovered, was in the regular habit of leaving his duty to take his morning meal with his female friends. The case is under the investigation of the heads of the force. We understand, that during the last few years, Epis ccpacy has made rapid advances in Scotland. IVhitings are so plentiful in the Southampton river, that it is no uncommon occurrence for a single person to catch from ten to twenty dozen. A fire broke out yesterday morning, about four o'clock on the premises of Messrs. Merry, wholesale cheesemon gers, in High-street, Newington. Their mother, an aged woman, in attempting to escape, fell from a win dow on the first floor, and was killed on the spot and the servant girl, aged 22 years, perished in the flames. Distressing accounts are given in the Edinburgh papers of a '' hurricane on the east coast of Scotland, which commenced on Tuesday night, and continued all next day. Fears are entertained that the shipping havo suffered severely. EITMO'URS or THE DAY. A Tory Morning Contemporary states that it is re ported in the Ministerial circles that Sir James Graham is destined to succeed Lord Auckland as Governor- General of India. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, 3IONDAY EVENING. _ _ All attention in the City, and, we wave no doubt as soon as it becomes known, will be throughout the country, is directed to the panic in the S'zock Exchange, which, late on. Saturday, and still more. so to-day, has assumed what, to:a .coual or uninitiatca observer, would naturally appear a very alarming aspect. We should feel:thankful if it were our good-fortitne—terrelieve in some measura the apprehensions of the WI liO, especially of those hav ing deposits in BritishSecuri , ,ies, And we would warn and counsel everyman who reads The Sun, and has such property a t stake (not time, bargainers) to hold it firmly, and not take affright, - T . he panic that exists has, or should have, hut little to 'Jo with the fundholders at large. It is a desperate strugp,le between the speculators for a rise, and those fo a fall, and if the latter suc ceed, as the nutner:ous failures or embarrassments may perhaps enable them to do, prices will go down. This may last for a tF:me, but cannot ultimately affect the intrinsic value of tho Stock to the bona fide holder, who can keep it till mat 4 .ers wear a smoother aspect. It is always unwise to sell during a panic. This will be a heavy week in the Stock Markets, no doubt, but the divi dends payable T vill assist. The decline to-day again, taking the extre.ne price, was full I per cent., or 1 per cent., since Saturday morning. Before the close of busi ness, however, prices rallied a to per cent. The open ing price of Cionsols was 88 to 1 ; the lowest, 871 for Money, and 87t. for Account ; and the closing quota tions 874 to both for present transfer and Thursday next. The Scrip, of the new Stock was done as low as It discoun t. Exche(per Bills receded to 14s. and lls. prem. ; East India Bonds to 3s. prem. and par ; and the New Th ree-and-a-Half per Cents. to 97-a and 96 : 1 ; Bank Stock c i .ropped from 166 to 16.31 ; the Reduced Three per Ce nts. were marked 87 to 86 } ; the Reduced Three and-a -Half per Cents., 96/ to 951 ; and India Stock was at 245. The panic in the Foreign Market was nearly, if not quite as severe as that in our own Funds. Spanish Bonds, owing to the bad news, declined from 19 to 174, but rallied and closed at 18t1 to 1. Mexican Stock was at one time at 224, but closed at 244 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were down to 29 and 294 ; Colombian Bonds were depressed to I'3 and 191, and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. to 5c 4. - For Shares there was very little 'demand, and prices did not experience the same fluctuation as those of Stocks. Brighton ranged from 104 to 91 discount. ; Great Western were 10: ; the New, 4 to 34 ; South Western, 124 to 124 ; and York and North Midland, 27 premium. (From The Sun of Last Night.) We regret to state that the unfavourable news received from Spain this morning has thrown the Stock Exchange, and, indeed, the whole Money Market, into a state of great alarm and confusion: The Funds have fallen about two per cent., since the closing prices of Saturday, and two . defaulters, to a considerable amount, it is feared, have. been declared. The conduct of the King of the :FRENCH is regarded with just alarm. He has harboured Queen CHRISTINA, the prime mover of the insurrection, in one of the Royal Palaces. General O'DoNNELL. left France for Spain with - lirge sums of money_ to commence the revolt of the troops. The French Army and Navy are kept up in great force, and fears are entertained that an insidious, and afterwards an open, attack is intended against that unfortunate and dis tracted country. We still hope 'better things of LOUIS PHILIPPE, hut appearances are very ominous, and we are, therefore, n9t at all sur prized at the panic which prevails in the City. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 9.—The Cot ton Market to-day has been without change. The sales comprise 3,000 bales all to the trade. LIVERPOOL SIIARE MARKET, OCT. 9.—The trans actions at the Stock Exchange this day have been very limited ; they are reported as follow :—Eastern Coun ties Debentures, 74 ; Great Western, 201.

MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT 9.—There is no material alteration in our market to-day ; prices re main steady :—Manchester and Leeds, Half Shares, 234 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 214 ; London and South Western, 504 514 ; London and Birmingham, New Thirds, 23 234 ; Bank of Manchester, 5; Manches ter and Liverpool District Bank, 10; Manchester Assu rance, 94. Her Majesty's packet Alert has arrived at Falmouth, with a mail from Mexico. She left . Vera Cruz on Sept. 2, Havannab 17, and has brought over 350,000 dollars on merchants' account. Papers from Rio de Janeiro to the 20th August have been received, at which time the Exchange on England was at 304 31, and the Six per Cent. Local Stock 704. A complete panic has come over the Stock Exchange since Saturday morning, and a very serious decline has taken place both in the English and Foreign Securities, full one per cent. fall having taken place in Consols ; they opened at 884 4. The news received from Spain this morning has had a very serious effect upon Spanish Stock ; the Active has fallen 2 per cent. since the opening ; in short, the house I is in such a state that it is impossible to quote a price at present. A highly respectable member of the house, and a jobber to a large extei:t, has just been declared a defaulter. PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, OCT. 2. 3 per Cent.
