V 1 ORNING NUN- beheaders of Louis XVI. They were Louis XIV. and the R egent w h o f o ll owe d him, and Louis XV. These brought their descendant to the guillotine. The priesthood, Who revoked the Edict of Nantes, and drove ti - um France the skill, and industry, and virtue, and piety which were the sinews of her strength ; the states men who intoxicated Louis XIV. with the scheme of universal empire ; the profligate, prodigal, shameless Orleans ; and the still more brutalised Louis XV. with hr court of panders and prostitutes ;—these made the nation bankrupt, broke asunder the bond of loyalty, and overwhelmed the throne and altar in ruins. henr of the horrors of the revolution ; but in this, as in other things, we recollect the effect without thinking of the guiltier cause. The revolution was indeed a scene of horror ; but when I look back on the reigns which pre ceded it, and which made Paris almost one great stew and gaming -house, and when I see altar and throne desecrated by a licentiousness unsurpassed in any former age, I look on scenes as shocking to the calm and search in, eye of reason and virtue, as the 10th of August and the massacres of September. Bloodshed is indeed a terrible spectacle ; but there are other things almost as fearful as blood. There are crimes that do not make us start and turn pale like the guillotine, but are deadlier in their workings. God forbid that I should say a word to weaken the thrill of horror with which we contemplate the outrages of the French Revolution. But when I hear that revolution quoted to frighted us from. Reform, to show us the danger of lifting up the depre;sed and ig . norant mass, fmust ask whence it came ? and the an swer is, that it came from the intolerable weight of mis government and tyranny, from the utter want of culture among the mass of the people, and frog a corrup tion of the great, too deep to be purged away except by destruction.l II am also compelleJ,, to remem ber, that the people, in this their singular madness, wrought far less woe than kings and priests have wrought, as a familiar thing, in all ages of the world. All the murders of the French Revolution did not amount, I think, by one-fifth, to those of the " Mas sacre of St. Bartholomew." The priesthood and the throne, in one short night and day, shed more blood, and that the best blood of France, than was spilled by Ja cobinism, and all other forms of violence during the whole revolution. Even the atheism and infidelity of France were due chiefly to a licentious priesthood and a licentious court. It was religion, so called, that dug her own grave. In offering this plea for the multitude. I have no desire to transfer to the multitude uncontrolled political power. I look at power in all hands with jea lousy. I wish neither rich nor poor to be my masters. What I wish is, the improvement, the clevatioa of all classes, and especially of the most numerous clas : be cause the most numerous, because the many are man kind, and because no social progress can be hoped but from influences which penetrate and raise the mass of men. The mass must not be confined and kept down through a vague dread of revolutions. A social order requiring such a sacrifice, would be toodearif bought. order should satisfy us, but that which i; in har mony with universal improvement and freedom." e are glad to see Dr. Channing spiritedly throw ing back on the rich, even in America, those charges which they and their satellites of the press are continu ally heaping on the poor and the industrious classes throughout the world, and nowhere so continually and Igo vehemently as here, where the rich and the titled— the proud Nobles and the luxurious Bishops, are rich and luxurious by the plunder they continually practice on the industrious classes, and where the plunderers con tinually represent the poor as having no other object at heart than to plunder them. As Dr. Channing truly and justly hints, the danger to property here, as well as in America, springs not from the industrious masses, but from horrible abuses of the right of property, which are practised by our Bollings and our Bruens. and by the whole race of our tithe-exacting and our law-making aristocracy. But leaving pampered indivi duals and pampered classes, who prostitute law and go vernment to individual and class purposes, we must turn for one moment to the bright views of the course of so ei;ty which Dr. Charming has conferred a benefit on mani.lnd by now making public. This is properly the age of diffusion of knowledge, of science, and of art, rather than the 'age of greater discoveries, except those which arise from the diffusion. It may be said of know ledge, as of money, that, like manure, it is of no use til. it be spread. One or a few heads can no longer carry all that is known ; and to preserve it, as well as increase it, inure must be called to share it. What further there is to learn cannot be known, and till, some genius arises to tell us, and make further discoveries, we may be permitted to .:uppose that the proper vocation of learned and scien tifi t ,:en is to spread abroad what they know. We hear a great many complaints undoubtedly . of superficial learning, and of the want of depth in our men o: science, but those who make the complaint must be informed that deep ploughing very often turns up a worthless sub-soil, and that it is the and tilling of a large surface which gives us valuable crops. At present it would seem that nearly all which can be known of the earth is known. There are are few parts of it unexplored or unvisited by thost wnh whom all are in communication. In the course (3 time /he motion of the sun and of the fixed stars may be ascertaihs:d, but probably this will be the result of centu ries of obser:'ation. It may, then, too, 132 proved beyond a doubt that die creation of new worlds is always going. on ; but at present the knowledge of the planetary mo tion, though possessed by a few, is so complete that it is more desirable to SpreLi it through the mass than in crease it in the few. We are far from supposing that nothing more is to be discovered or learned, but nature, nerou.s and free, abhors monopolies, and decides against aristocracies, in science, as well as in politics. We quite agree, therefore, with Dr. Chinning in be lieving that this is the age of universality or diffusion, tut we also believe that this is in the order of nature, ant; that mankind can only extend their knowledge and science, and increase their wealth and power, by diffusing pretty equally amongst the mass the stock already ac quired. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Manipur of Wednesday fublishes a telegraphic despatch from Toulouse, of the 20th, stating that all was quiet in that city, and that o: der had not been disturbed in the neighbouri-rig departments. The Prefect of Lower Rhine had arrived in Paris. The Mayor and Municipal Council of Strasburg persisting in their refusal to assist the revenue officers in executing the census ordered by M. Humann, the Government La I appointed the Commis.aries of Police for that purpose. The Courier da Midi of the 17th inst. announces that Iwo battalions left Montpelier on the preceding evening for Tou louse. The people accompanied them out of town singing the " Marseillaise,' and crying to the troops, " Do not fire upon the people; spare your brothers." Considerable excitement prevailed in Montpelier. The French Funds declined yesterday, In consequence of an apprehension that the energetic orders given to General Rul hieres by Marshal Soult would be resisted, and occa.ion a fresh collision in Toulouse. It was also feared that the spirit of re ♦olt would extend to other towns in the south. The incle mency of the season was likewise beginning to excite serious uneasiness. The Hereditary. Prince of Coburg was expected this week in Paris, %here, it was reported, that he was to be married to Princess Clementina. The Danae frigatehad sailed from Brest for Crorstadt, where she is to take on board M. de Barante, the French Ambassa dor, and convey him to France. Several commercial houses had stopped payment in the Austrian capital. Our intelligencee from Madrid of the 14th in;t. is unim portant. The Five per Cents. were done at 25h 11-16, for cash. The Debate of Wednesday has a very singular article on the just signed Treaty, stating that henceforth France, Austria, and Prussia will be united in a European Conference against England and Russia, the latter being interested, and the three others disinterested protectresses of the :East It distinguishes the new from the old Treaties about the Straits, saying that the Porte can no longer open these Straits, whilst before its might do w. Prince Alelternich is recovered, and sets cut for Bohemia on the 22d. The Turks of Belgrade have been disarmed by order of the Puha. _ _ The Constitutionnel denies that an y treaty, involving th e t ra nsfer of the line of French custom-houses to the Dutch and German frontiers of Belgium has taken place, as the manu facturers in wood and iron and the coalowners could not com pete with those of Belgium. at the A Council was he ld at Neuill y on the 20 th, and also Ad m iralty.

We give this, but we have every reason to believe it to be incorrect: The Debals contains the &man lately addressed to the. Go. vernment of Jerusalem in favour of the Christians of tay ri This tirman directs that no undue tr ibute shall be claimed for the exercise of religious duties—that the Turkish soldiery shall not enter Christian churches, and that all cases of extortion on the part of the Turks shall come under the special jurisdiction of the Porte. It also enjoins the Christians and Jews to live in amity. The rain to-day has decreased, but the accounts from the provinces are painful.

CHRONICLE.—The " time to cry out" against taxation upon the public for the thirteen new colonial bishoprics which are projected, will come, says the Times, " when the call is made." A previous warning may not, however, be thrown away. It is not much too soon, for those whom it is intended to tax, to look about them, when the taxers (in purpose) begin to broach their speculation. The subscribers to this scheme for accomplishing a factious object under spiritual pretences, ought also to be considered. Many who have contributed, or who may be solicited to contribute, are doubtless under the in fluence of purely religious motives. They wish, and very laud ably, to extend the influence of their own faith and worship. But they may not wish to render that extension subservient to the creation of a body of Tory Church patronage, to be exer cised independently of the legal and constitutional head of the Church. The project, moreover, is worth notice, were it only to illustrate the principles, in Church and State, which have regained the semblance of their old and pestiferous ascendancy over the rights and interests of the people. The claim of her Majesty, the head of the Church of England, acting by her constitutional advisers, to nominate any of the proposed thirteen colonial Bishops, " must," says the Times, " necessarily be fatal to the whole design." We thought as much from the first announcement. This fact is quite sufficient to settle the spi . rituality of the speculation. The desire is not for religious Bishops, appointed by the same authority that suffices for the Established Church at home, but for nominees of an episcopal corporation, in which a political faction is pretty sure to predo minate. The souls of the colonists, it seems, may go to perdi tion, if they can only be supplied with Bishops in the old, legal constitutional mode ; a mode never yet contested since the Church of England was the Church of England. The scheme does not turn upon the wants of the colonists, nor upon the dic tates of piety, but exclusively upon t h e possess i on of the patronage. To be without that, although the preten sion to it be an unprecedented invasion of both the Church and State of England, " must cecessarily be fatal to the whole design." In support of this pretension, it is affirmed that " in all ages of the Church it has been a settled maxim that the patronage follows the endowment." However settled the maxim may be, the limitation s are very mater i a l , sa d are quite as settled. here are many cases in which the endowing parties have a permanent right of presentation ; but none in which they have an absolute right of appointment; none in which they nominate, no t mere l y to the incumbency of a liv ing, but to spiritual functions of a dignified order ; none in which there is anything analogous to the creation of bishoprics and bishops. In these loiter cases there is no exception to the practical supremacy of the Sovereign over the Church, exer cised through the great officers of State. To refuse these ap pointments would, we are told, " abridge the spiritual liberty of Churchmen," anti be " a preposterous tyranny." No such " liberty" having ever existed, we cannot see how it can be " abridged." All alliances abridge the liberty of acting as if there were no compact; nor is the alliance of Church and State any exception. If the Church needs the liberty of makine. Bishops otherwise th an b y t h e h ead of the State, who is its' own head, it must forego the advantages of being an Esta blishment—it must cease to be the Church of the State. To combine the emoluments of alliance with the freedom of inde pendence would be monstrous. Those who think the lat ter worth the price, pay far it by the disadvantages of dis sent. Those who do not, let it alone, and stick to the bene fits of Establishment. There is no other alternative ; nor can there be, consistently with common justice. "Is the Morning Chronicle prepared to contend that the Crown has a right to name the Bishops of the Anglo-Catholic Church in Scotland, or of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland ?" We answer, no; nor of any other Catholic Church whatever. We eased its right as to the Church of England —the Church which it made, the Church which it pays, the Church of which it is the sslemnly recognised head. 'Neither of the Churches re-. ferred to is in any such predicament. Both of them are dis senting bodies. The Church of England is neither dissenting nor Catholic; it is an institution of the State, localised within certain boundaries. No possible amount of truly religious zeal . and liberality in the Church of England can call forth any ob jective feeling. But when the design is avowed of turning those qualities to account in a mode which would render the Church a tool of a political faction, and erect a power capable of commanding the Government of the country, and of enthrall ing both Sovereign and people, it is time to protest. The an nouncement is probably only experimental ; Toryism is putting out its feelers in various directions, to ascertain how much the people will bear without that military coercion to which (should its new ly-gained power continue) it must come at last; and therefore it is but fair to our opponents that we should at once say that, in our opinion, thirteen new bishoprics, inde- Trident of the Crown and Legislature, will be something of a choker. lalES.—Dublin, as our readers are happy to know, is one if the places in which, after all their intimidation, the Liberals have been unsuccessful. Such was their ferocity under the disappointment, that when, on the Saturday night, the elec tion had terminated in favour of Mr. West and Mr. Grogan (the former of whom was confined by indisposition to his nouse), it became necessary that Mr. Grogan should return to his residence under an escort ; and accordingly he went home through the streets of that civilised metropolis guarded by a party of the 10th Hussara! The same spirit which hail so .avagely overawed the constituency of Dublin city, continued to exercise its terrors upon that of Dublin county. The coal portei s, as befot e, were the most conspicuous of the ruffians. On the night of Sunday, the 11th, the night immediately pre ceding the first day of the poll, they set fire to a dwelling louse near Santry, and forcibly carried off and secured twelve of the Roman Catholic tenants of Mr. Woods, of Alilvertown, who were desirous to vote with their landlord for the Conservatives. When the poll began, armed parties d these coal. porters paraded the streets leading to Kilmain ham and the avenues around the hustings. On Tuesday and Wednesday, indeed, when the advantage appeared to be with 'he Popish candidates, the polling went on more quietly, but on the night between the Wednesday and the Thursday, the priests' party seem to have thought that an example was be come needful, and consequently a lamer, named Macalister, who had voted for the Conservatives, was on that night waylaid on his road home, near the village of Rathcoole, and treated with such violence that his life was not only endangered, but would in all probability have been sacrificed on the spot, but for the timely arrival of one of the mailcoaches from Dublin. In the course of Thursday, however, it became obvious that all these murderous means would be unavaling ; and early (in the Friday morning the Radical candidates resigned. It is probably to the near attendance of an ade. quote military force that the discomfiture of the intimidation, both in the city and in the county of Dublin, must mainly be attributed. It will be seen as we proceed with these notices, 'hat in other districts, where the same assistance was not avail able, the violence and terror reached a height yet more b ir barous, and succeeded in storming a bloody victory. We are often told that there is no difference between the English and the Irish people, and that therefore there ought to be no dis tinction between English and Irish institutions or franchises. this difference, at least, between the English and the Irish constituencies, we think, is tolerably perceptible—that in order to prevent intimidation at an English election, the military must be marched out; in order to prevent it at an Irish elec don, the military must be marched in. POST.—We collect from the Whig-Radical journals of Edinburgh, that Ministers are endeavouring to force Lord Jeffrey to retire from the Bench of Justice in Scotland, as they forced Lord Plunket to retire from the Chancellorship of Ireland, and for the similar purpose of providing a place for a hungry and importunate partisan. The Edinburgh Observer says Considerable excitement at present prevails in Leith, in consequence of apparently well-founded reports that her Majesty's Advocate, Mr. Rutherford, is about to retire from the representation of these burghs, in expectation of being ele vated to the Bench, as it is understood great efforts have, within the last few days, been made to obtain Lord Jeffrey's resignation, on account of his recent serious inelispssi tion." It further appears that, in anticipation of the suc cess of this Scotch job, the Whig-Radical electors of Leith have split into two hostile cabals, the one in favour of Mr. Robert Steuart and the other in favour of Mr. Joseph Hume, both in the unfortunate predicament of having been re jected by other and more judicious constituencies. ' 1 he Minis terial journal above quoted is decidedly of the Hume faction. It says that, " Although Mr. Steuart's exertions in the cause of reform are thoroughly appreciated by a considerable num ber of the electors, it is understood that the great zeal and unwearied labours of Mr. Joseph Hume have endeared him to a large majority of the constituency. We have no doubt that Mr. Hume will be peculiarly ac ceptable to the whole body of Dissenters. His career as a public man has been devoted to the diffusion of Liberal opinions. To a mercantile community, no man can come be fore it with greater claims than Mr. Hume. He is profoundly versed in finance; and as a thorough Reformer of abuses in every department Mr. Hume stands unrivalled." It may, turn out, however, that " the great efforts which have been made within the last few days to obtain Lord Jeffrey's resignation," may not Le successful. In which case there will be no va c ancy for Leith, and the hopes of every member of the Ministerial triumvirate, Mr. Rutherford, Mr. R. M. Steuart, and Mr. Joseph Hume, will be equally blighted. - GLOBE.—The programmes of the new Tory Minis try, prematurely put forth by the Tory journals, and their ludicrous contentions with each other as to the su perior fitness and more powerful claims of their respec tive favourites to consideration in the formation of the new Cabinet, and in the distribution of the patronage cocnected with the highest offices in the Government, introduce us behind the scenes, and place before us the secret intrigues and open discord which are going on, in propria persona, among the actual aspirants to office. The Herald yesterday drew up the curtain, not merely before the stage manager had given the necessary direc tions, but before the actors were dressed for the charac ters, and even before the drama was, as the play-folk say, " cast." For this breach of decorum, the imperti nent blunderer is severely rated by the arbiter eleyantia rum of the 'press. The Herald is reproved for med dling with matters beyond her province. The Stan dard's " West -End. Correspondent" had furnished no " early and exclusive information " on the subject ; and, in the absence of a communication from that confidential and veritable eaves-dropper, it was ob viously highly indecorous to disclose anything respect ing the existing 'or the embryo Ministry. " The in genious persons," pains to the St an d ar d, " who have been at theains t o provide a Ministry, are begin ning rather too soon.' And then the inconvenience of letting the public know what is passing in the " green room "—the numerous application s to the manager to be permitted to recite the part to which the pertinacious a pplicants aspire, and the polite refusals, or the rude re pulses with which they were met—the wounded pride and disappointed hopes, ill-concealed under an affected scorn for what was so earnestly coveted, and so unceremo niously denied—all this is compressed within the space n m da i r o d vo is lve y i s i o o lu s ta of a single sentence. The effect is perfectly grap hi c " Noblemen and gentlemen do not like to be advertised for offices which they may not have, or in this way " h S shocked at this violationd:cor ta u perhaps would not acceßt. of T monstrous familiarity with high personages Such things cause great annoyance, and may be prod uct i ve of worse inconvenience. Indeed, we are assured, that th e " manager has not yet been able to form a company, much less to assign their parts to those who are to constit ute convinced, it si r B. Peel, we are does not k now who form whe 512.111 be his colleagues w henh e incited a Ministry."—We will venture to add — or whether he will be the entrusted with the formation. The ia as spi- Cabinet-maker insists that the mater d ls, h ester ay, s ou d ec be fied in her State drawing o f y . nailed together ; as to their clove -tailing - wi th anything like neatness or strength • , that is of little consequence "Is this a time," exclaims the Herald, "to be con sidering whether no bl eme n and g en tlemen' like or dislike to be advertised for offices' which they may of _ an or may not accept ? No.. The commands im perial state—the desires of a peop le h a llowed by the sanction of the Constitution,—are to be consulted and obeyed. It is no time to consult the flikee The or of noblemen and gentlemen. _ serio-comic piece, The Manager in Distress , evidently in course of preparation, thought it may not be publicly performed. The privileged few who have been permitted to be present at the rehearsal, have evidently not had the discretion to refrain from babbling of what was designed to be kept secret from the public. Such iTHIt SC N, LONDON',PMDAY, JULY 2 3 , IP4i, garrulity as that whi h the Standard censures as impertinent and inconvenient, and the lesser luminary of the party exposes as destitute of truth, must be re pressed, or " great annoyance and worse inconvenience" will, as the Standard justly remarks, be inevitably in troduced ; and may, possibly, cause the whole concern to go to pieces. COURIER.—Irish sedition will no longer gain strength and confidence from the coquetry of the Go vernment ; the.revolutionary movement, whose avowed object is the separation of Ireland from Great Britain; will no longer be treated with sympathy, or the encou ragement of passive quiescence by those whose first and highest duty it was to repress it by all the means and appliances placed at their disposal by the Constitution. Agitation—baneful, blighting agitation—has received its death-blow in Ireland ; and we suppose it was on the homely principle of making hay while the sun shone that the energy of the agitators has been so virulently but fruitlessly exerted on the occasion of the resent elec tion contests. Had the Melbourne Cabinet been permitted to prolong its sway for another year or two—bad its system of conniving at the manifestation of insurrectionary sen timents, however glaring or criminal, been continued, it would be impossible to foresee the calanlitous results. The spouters of sedition become bold and daring by im punity ; they inoculate the general bulk of the population with their dangerous and disloyal principles ; the smoul dering flame is kept alive and spreads, until by the appli cation of some stray or accidental spark the nation be amazed and paralysed by the sudden explosion. All these things were ix a state of actual progress in the sister country, but it has been arrested, and will be finally repressed by the establishment of a Conservative Go vernment. Surely, apart froin--all considerations as re gards the other portions of the em pi re , th ere i s i n what we have here unfolded 'as the inevitable - effect of the dis placement of the Whigs, enough to gladden the heart of every right-thinking man in the United Kingdom. STANDARD.—The Ministerial manifesto has at length appeared: It comes before the public in the form of a long address from Lord John Russell to the electors of London, whom he temporarily represents, as, by an evanescent majority of nine, the fourth on the poll. The single fact to be deduced from this long address is an im portant one—it is the fact, that the Ministers intend to meet the new Parliament, and to retain office after the assembling of the Legislature until formally dismissed. We need not to repeat what we have already said of the violence offered to the Constitution by ,this line of conduct. The Ministers have been already dismissed, as far as a vote of the House of Commons can dismiss an Administration ; they know, and Lord John Russell's address confesses the knowledge, that the now Parliament will confirm, not rescind, the sentence passed upon them ; and yet they persevere in that course, so solemnly condemned, in at tendance upon another sentence of condemnation. We cannot conceive the ground Upon which conduct like this is to be defended. Will it.be said that by the act of dis solution the Executive can at any time annul the votes of an uncomplying House of Commons ? If such a proposition be maintained, then Parliamentary Go vernment is at an end ; but if such a proposition can not be maintained, the Administration is a condemned Administration, .presuming to carry on the Govern ment in defiance`'of Parliament, and with the brand of cOndemnation upon its front. Are we wrong in say ing that such conduct is more than a sufficient ground for an impeachment ? There remain at this day just four weeks until the returSte writs ; for these four wee k s , at the least, in adaiti seven weeks already passed, the country is to . be governed by a Ministry repudiated by the House of Commons, and this without any cer tainty that even on the 19th of August the Legislature shall be permitted to assemble. :Here then are, by the lowest calculation, nearly three months of a Government conducted in defiance of a vote of Parliament—all the foreign, colonial, and domestic policy of the empire directed, all its patronage dispensed, by men in whom Parliament has declardthat it has no confidence—whom Parliament has declared unfit to retain office. But if the country submit to such an insulting usurpation for three months or more, why not for three years or more ? The precedent will be available for any length of time, and we do not see how the force of such a fatal precedent can be neutralised except by an impeachment. MONEY MARKET and CITY NE WS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—A further depression took place in the English funds at one period to-day, Consols for the Account having declined to 891 t o %. The cause of this flatness in Consols may be attributed to various circumstances, but we be lieve the whole and sole cause merges into the present un settled state of the weather, and the immediate consequences arising from it. We had occasion last week to notice a decline in the Continental Exchanges, which was followed yesterday by a more marked depression, particularly en Hamburgh ; ' and from this circumstance occurring at a period when a somewhat considerable quantity of foreign corn is finding its way to this country, with a disposition on the part of speculators to send out further orders, we need not be surprised that the Bank Directors should deem it necessary to look to their own posi tion, and apply the screw in time, should it unfortu nately happen that an importation of grain should be required to any extent, although we trust that there is no occasion at present to look with a gloomy view towards the forthcoming crops; still it behoves those connected with the mercantile world not to launch out too deeply into under takings where any contraction of the currency may lead to a disastrous issue. We luve felt the more inclined to touch upon this subject to-day, from the circumstance that we have good reason-to believe that the Bank Directors have already seen the necessity of contracting the present already extraor dinary low circulation. The method said to be adopted in the present instance is effected through the medium of the Bank broker, who, it is said, yesterday was a giver of per cent. continuation on 150,000 Consols for the Account, the real operation being that of selling 150,000 stock for Bank notes, and repurcLasing a similar amount at an advance of per cent. for the 26th of August. So that the effect of this operation is obviously to take out of circulation that amount of notes, and thus indirectly become themselves borrowers of money ; which plan, if carried out to any extent, cannot fail to give it an in creased value, both in the Stock Exchange and Lembard-street. TIMES.—The last Gazette contains the usual return of the amount of notes circulated in England and Wales by private and joint stock banks during the three months from the 27th of March, 1841, to the.26th of June, 1841. From this return it appears that the three months ending the Dith of June, 1841, as compared with the three months ending the 27th of March, 1841, show an increase of 284,6131. being the increase in the total amount of country notes in cir culation in the last quarter, as compared with the preceding quarter. Of this amount 121,8161. is the increase in the notes of the private banks, and 162,7971. is the increase in the amount of notes of the joint-stock banks. By comparing the three months ending June 26, 1841, with the three months ending June 27, 1840, the corresponding pe riod in last year, the decrease in the total quantity of country notes is 860,7811., of which 529,2181. is the decrease of the notes in the private banks, and 331,5631. is the decrease in the amount of notes of the joint-stock banks. The average of the year ending June 26, 1841, is 10,143,341/. while that of the preceding year, ending June 27, 1840, was 11,113,2221. By combining the returns of the country circulation with the quarterly averages of the Bank of England, it appears that in the three months ending June 26,1841, as compared with the preceding three months, ending March 27, 1841, there is an increase in the total circulation of 379,6131. • The increase in the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England at the same periods was 759,0001. The quarter ending June 26, 1841, compared with the corresponding quarter last year, ending June 27, 1840, show a decrease in the total circulation of 1,099,7811. The com parison of the stock of bullion held by the Bank of England at the same period shows an increase of b 64,0001. HERALD.—It may be remarked that, although no large operations are being carried on, and speculation in point of fact is entirely inactive, yet the purchases for real investment are sufficiently numerous still, chiefly however for account of par ties now or lately in receipt of their dividends upon the Three and Three-and-a-Half par Cent, stocks, the latter of which is now open for transfers at the Bank also. But for the state of the weather and the efforts in Mark-lane to excite exaggerated alarms on that head, there would have been a strong tendency to a rise in the quotations. An advance in the prices of corn in bond of from Is. to 2s. per quarter is re ported from the Corn Market. It may be noted that the. weather is by no meaas so unfavourable for the prospects of a fair harvest as assumed or asserted by interested parties. For the rain, though heavy and continuous, is known to be only partially so, and limited to certain districts, whilst, after all, warm south-western showers, if followed seasonably by dry summer weather, cannot fail to be profitable to the growing crops. It may be taken for granted also that a much larger breadth of land was laid down for wheat at the close of last year than perhaps for several years before. POST.—It is folly to suppose that the Bank of England can have any object in keeping down the amount of her note issues, but the general welfare of the nation. The interest of the proprietors lies obviously in the contrary policy, could it be pursued. The choice of foreigners in the exchange they shall take for the corn and other commodities they send us alter nates between goods and gold. If goods be too high among us, the exchanges make the fact apparent. To what circumstance do the free-trade economists ascribe the late awful failures at Vienna,Trieste, and other parts of Ger many ? We have had nothing at all approaching them in Eng land, and it is not pretended that they have been produced by Corn-laws. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles O'Donnell, m:. litary Secretary to the Commander of the Forces in Canada, le expected this month to return to this country, from North Ameiica. TitAITS• OF HORSES.—The confidence of a horse in a firm rider, and his own courage, is great, as was conspicuously evinced in the case of an Arab pos sessed by the late General Sir Robert R. Gillespie, who being present on the race course of Calcutta, during one of the great Hindu festivals, when several hund re d thou sand people may be assembled to witness all kinds of shows, was suddenly alarmed by the shrieks of the crowd, and informed that a tiger had escaped from his keepers; the Colonel immediately called for his horse, and grasping a boar-spear which was in the hands of one among the crowd, rode to attack the formidable enemy. The tiger was probably amazed at finding him self in the middle of such a number of shrieking beings flying from him in all directions i but the moment he perceived Sir Robert, he crouched with the attitude of preparing to spring at him, and that instant the gallant soldier passed his horse in a leap over the tiger's back; and struck the spear through his spine. The horse was a small grey, afterwards sent home by him as a present to the Prince Regent. When Sir Robert fell, at 'the storming of Kalunga, his favourite black charger, bred, at the Cap e o f G oo d H ope , an d carr ied by him to India, was, at the sale of his effects, competed for by several officers of the division, and finally knocked down to the privates of the Eighth Dragoons, who contributed their prize -money, to the amount of 500/. sterling, to retain this commemoration of their late Commander. Thus the charger* was always led at the head of the regiment on a march ; and at the station of Cawnpore was usually indulged with taking his ancient post at the colour st an d, w h ere the salute of passing squadrons was given at drill and on reviews. When the regiment was ordered home, the funds of the privates running low, he was bou g ht f or the same sum by a relation of ours, who provided funds and a paddock for him, where he might end his days in comfort ; but when the corps had marched, and Ow sound of the trumpet had & parted, he refused t o eat ; and ou the first opportunity, being led out to exerci se , h e b roke from his groom, an d galloping to Ms ancient station on the parade, after neighing aloud, dropped dow n an d died.—Culonel Smith's Horses. LAW.INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, July 22. The L6an Caati . cELLon did not sit yesterday, in con sequence of having to attend a Council at Windsor, and nL; Lordship not returning to town till this morning, did :lot take his seat in his Court iu Lincoln's lan Hall till after twelve o'clock. BEARD V. CLAUDET.-THE DAGUERREOTYPE. - - Mr. STUART stated that this case came before the Court upon the motion to discharge an order of the Vice- Chancellor, pronounced a few • days ago, by which his Honour granted an injunction restraining the defendant from using any of the apparatus belonging to the da guerreotype, under the license granted him, by a person named Berry. From the' statements of the Learned Counsel it appeared that two gentlemen, of the names of Daguisrre and Neips, having invented the machine for taking likenesses, which has of late caused such a sensa tion in the scientific world, appointed a gentleman of the names of Miles Berry as their agent in this country. Mr. Berry granted a license to use the apparatus to the defendant. For this purpose an agreement was drawn up between them, which contained- a pro. : viso, that in case during the continuance of the letters patent, which had been obtained, any arrangement was made by the Government of Great Britain, or any other person to purchase the invention then, as it was alleged on the part of the defendant, Messrs. Daguerre and Neips, were to repurchase his interest. O n the other hand, on the part of the plaintiff, it was contended that the effect of the proviso was, in case the invention was purchased, to make it compulsory on the defendant Clai,det to sell his interest. The plaintiff purchased the invention un der an agreement, and Mr. Claudet continuing to use the invention, notwithstanding that purchase, the plaintiff filed his bill for the specific performance of the agree ment for the sale, and also for an injunction to restrain the defendant from further using the apparatus. On the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor, he granted the injunction, which it was now sought to set aside. The LORD CHANCELLOR, after hearing counsel on both sides, at some length stated that, as he considered the construction of the agreement to be solely a question of law, he should order the injunction to be dissolved, leaving it to the plaintiff to bring such ac ti on as h e might be advised, for the purpose of ascertaining whether, according to the legal construction of the agreement, the license granted to the defendants became inoperative in the events that had happened, and in the interim the rest of the motion must stand over. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 22. MARLING V. KIRBY. The greater part of the day was occupied by the fur ther arguments in this part-heard case, the object of which was to obtain an injunction to restrain the defend ant from infringing a patent obtained by the plaintiff for making pins with solid heads. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar guments, directed an issue to try the validity of the patent. SHERIFFS COURT, July 22. DREW V. FORTY. This was an action to recover the sum of 151. 13s. 6d. for work done and performed. Mr. Wylde (nephew to the Attorney : General) ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Payne for the defendant. The defendant in this action keeps the Royal Hotel in Richmond, and the plaintiff is a plasterer, living in the same town. The present action was brought for re pairs done to the house of the defendant by the plaintiff. The defendant pleaded on the record several items of set off, amounting to 141. 6d., for several quantities of wine supplied to the plaintiff, and a tender of 6/., and the cost of repairs done to a chandelier, which had been broken by one of the plaintiff's men during the repairs done to defendant's house, the amount of which was 13/. Several witnesses were' called on the part of the de fendant to' prove the various items of set off; but they failed to prove the tender made, and Mr. Wylde and Mr. Payne having severally addressed the Jury on the part of their clients, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff to the amount of 71. 135., the amount & the tender being paid into Court. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July ?, (Before Mr. Commissioner BOWEN.) BAIL CASES. Upon the list were ten town and three country bail cases for hearing, several of which were rejected for want of justification. None of them was marked ki any feature of public interest. RE CHARLES SMYTH HENNINcITON. The insolvent, who had been proprietOr of the Wheat sheaf Tavern, Holywell-street, Strand, applied to be discharged under the Act, and was opposed by Mr. Nicholls, on the part of Messrs. Tanqueray, the dis tillers. His liabilities were upwards of 1,2001. The grounds of. opposition were undue preference of other creditors to the exclusion of Messrs. Tanqueray. It appeared that the opposing creditors had supplied spirits to Hennington, for a part of which they had been paid, and the insolvent failing in business (as is most ge nerally the case with insolvent publicans), the brewers came in fbr the lion's share. After the sale of the pre mises a balance remained of 521., which was divided among some of the creditors, of which dividend the Messrs. Tanqueray received no notice. 'The COURT adjudged that the insolvent should be im prisoned for a term of four months, under the 72d 1 and 2 Victoria, entitled the Discretionary Act. RE SEPTIMUS STEVENS. The insolvent in this case was described as having been the master of the Union Workhouse at Croydon. Al though his name appeared in the original opposed list no creditor appeared against him ; however in his examina tion by the Court he admitted that he had been pre viously certified as a bankrupt for upwards of 2,0001.— . Discharged. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 22. CROWN COURT. (Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL.) John Lunn Campbell, aged 54, a Major in the army, was indicted for a rape on the person of Elizabeth Sayers, under the following extraordinary circum stances : Mr. Ryland, with whom was Mr. Johnson, con ducted the prosecution, which was instituted by direc tion of the Visitinr , Justices of the county gaol ; and Mr. Dowling defended the prisoner. Elizabeth Sayers, an intelligent girl, between 13 and 14 years of age, stated that in the month of May last her father was confined in Chelmsford gaol for debt ; her mother had been dead for some years, and she at pre sent resided with her grandmother. Witness was in the daily habit of visiting her father at the prison after she left school. Had known the prisoner for some time, in consequence of his also being confined for debt. On the 14th May, witness went to the gaol as usual, shortly after twelve o'clock. She went into her father's room, but not finding him there, looked out of the window into the yard ; at that moment she saw the prisoner go down stairs from his own room to the pump, which was in the yard. Shortly after he came into her father's room, and asked her to go up stairs to his room with him. She at first made no answer ;he again asked her to go up, as he wanted her to do someting for him, she having frequently gone on errands for him. She said she could not, as she wanted to see her father. The prisoner then laid hold of her and forced her up stairs before him into his own room. He then asked her if she would have some dinner, but she refused, and again repeated her wish to see her father. The prisoner then set her upon his knee, and said, " Never mind about seeing your father now, you can see him presently."— (Witness then described the assalt committed upon her.) She cried very much and tried to get away from the prisoner, but did not call out very loud, as she was afraid to do so. As soon as the prisoner left her he put a penny into her hand, and desired her not to tell any per son what had happened. She then went to her father's room and saw him, but did not mention what had oc curred. Did not like to say anything to him. She was very unwell for some time after the assault. About a fortnight after the day alluded to the witness was in her father's room, when the prisoner entered, and asked her to fetch him a pint of beer, but she turned her back upon him. He went out of the rorm to fetch a jug and her father asked her whether the prisoner had been doing, anything to her ; she then told him what had occurred. Cross-examined—The long room, which is common to all the prisoners, was very near the room occupied by the prisoners, if she had screamed out it Was possible she might have been heard ; but she was afraid to do so. Never mentioned the circumstance to any person till she told her father of it. Was quite sure she did not consent to the prisoner's meddling with her ; tried to get away from him, but he held her down. William Sawyers, the father of the last witness, stated that he was a shoemaker, and was in May last confined in gaol for debt. On Friday, the 28th . May; his daugh ter came to see him, and whilst there the prisoner en tered the room, and asked' her to fetch him a pint of beer. He (witness) saw her countenance change very much, and observed that she turned her back upon the prisoner, which induced him to believe that something wrong had occurred. As soon as the prisoner left the room, he questioned the child, when, after some hesitation, she admitted that the prisoner had been taking indecent liberties with her ; but he did not at the time suppose it was to such a serious extent. The prisoner returned to the room in about five minutes, and he (witness) called him an old villain, and told him that if he ever entered the room again, he would knock his head off. The prisoner said, " Well, well," and walked into the yard, and sat down in a chair, which belonged to him (witness). He told him he should not sit in his chair, and took it away from him. The prisoner upon that said to the other prisoners in the yard, " I can't think what's the matter with that Sayers." Upon which he told them that the prisoners had been attempting to commit a rape upon his daughter ; to which the prisoner replied, " Why, that was more than a fortnight ago : why did you not tell me of it before ?" He then mentioned the subject to the Governor of the gaol, and an investigation subsequently took place, by direction, of the Visiting Justices. Mr. John Thomas Gibson, surgeon to the prison, stated' that he examined the prosecutrix, by direction of the Magistrates, and there were certain indications upon her person, but • not su ffi c i ent f or hi m to say w h et h er violence had been med. Mr. Dowuwo addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner, and The LEARNED JUDGE' having summed up, The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of nearly four hours, returned a verdict of guilty, accompanied by a strong recommendation to mercy. Lord Chief Justice TINDAL ordered sentence of death to be recorded against the prisoner, and intimated that although he should recommend that his life should be spared, it could be otily with the understanding that he would be sent out of this country for the remainder of his life. CIVIL SIDE. BLACK V. NEW COLLEGE, OXFORD. The ease on the par or the pia:otitr did nut conclude until au advanced period of the day. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL then addressed ,the Jury on behalf of the defendants, in a very long and able address: • The _Learned Sergeant observed in the course of it that the College was only endeaVouring to obtain by the present suit what every individual in this .country was, entitled to, those rights to which they considered they had a legal claim ; and when, in an inquiry before one of the Tythe Commissioners, those rights had_ been already admitted, he .thought that the observations that had been made by his Learned Friend Sir William Fol lett, upon the College authorities, might have been well spared. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that he should show by documents, much more ancient than those produced on the other side, that a tythe in kind had been taken upon hay on this property, and that at this remote period there was no intention of any modes, and if he satisfied the Jury upon this he said he should be entitled to their.v,erdieL At the conclusio n of,,the'Learned Counsel's address the.Cougt adjourned, and this morning the case for the defendants was proceeded with. A deed was produced, bearing date in the reign of Edward the Third, by which the land in question, with the tythes upon hay, corn, &c., appeared to have been leased to one Sir Wm. Walter, and two gentlemen mimed" Black and Catlin, versed in the character of writings •of this description, were examined, and they gave their ver sion of the contents of the document in question. It was, however, worded in so ambiguous a manner, and there were so many abbreviated words, that it appeared very difficult to ascertain the real terms of the deed. After the evidence had proceeded some length, the Court said it might be a saving of the public time if Mr. Chennell would state whether he intended to call wit nesses to contradict the statements of the witnesses for the plaintiff as to the modus, or composition of three pence an acre having been paid for a great number of years. The evidence was most distinct and conclusive ; and there could be no doubt that from the year 1762, for a much greater • number of years than was required by the statute to establish the right, the sum of three pence an acre had been paid.. It might, perhaps, there fore, be a saving of time and inconvenience if it were stated what line of defence was• intended.. Sergeant CRANNELL said that inasmuch as the alleged modus had not been paid at the time, or within one year of the passing of the statute referred to, the right could not be made out by a proof of its payment for the number of years specified, and he should, therefore, contend that the claim could not be made out under the statute, but that the plaintiffs must go upon the alleged presumptive right. He would at once admit that he could not produce any evidence to contradict the testi mony- as to the payment of the modus for a great num ber of-years, but upon the question of the presumptive right he should propose to adduce a variety of docu mentary evidence in support of the claim set up by the College. The case then proceeded, and a variety of documents were produced, and among them was a deed granted in the Bth year of the reign of Richard the Second, by the monks of St. Bernard, in Savoy, by which they leased the tithes of hay, corn, sheep, &c., to certain parties, on payment of five marks yearly. At that period it se eme d that the property in ques ti on was in the hands of the above convent, or at least such of its members as were resident in England. The proceedings continued during the whole of the day, and at a late hour Sir W. Follett had not com menced his reply, and it was expected that it would be again adjourned. DAWSON V. DACRE. This was an action against the defendant, who is the clerk to the Trustees of the Middlesex and Essex Turn pike Roads, brought by the plaintiff to recover compen sation from .hith as their representative, for injury done to his property adjoining the turnpike-road at Hare street, near Romford. It appeared that in IS36.the trustees had widened and improved the road in question, and to do thi3 had taken away part of the land abutting upon the highway, be longing. to •the plaintiff, and, as he alleged, they had . neglected to provide proper fences and hedges to protect his crops after the alteration, in consequence of which he had,sustained damage by cattle straying upon his pro perty. The Jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 351. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Wednesday William Pemberton arZ William Broadhurst, two journeymen braziers, were brought before Sir C. Mar shall, charged with neglecting to fulfil a contract they had en tered into with Mr. Pontifex, the coppersmith, in Shoe-lane. Mr. Pontifex, a solicitor, stated the nature of the case, and called Mr. Edr.und Pontifex, who said the men had formed a Trade Society, who came to a resolution that no man should perform any labour in the factory without having been appren ticed to the trade for seven years, however merely mechanical it might be. Another resolution was, that the journeymen should limit and control the number of apprentices to be taken by the masters. He having refused to abide by these resolu tions, forty of his men struck, and had been out of work several weeks. He went to Birmingham, and amongst the persons he hired there were the two prisoners. He paid their coach hire to London, advanced 71. to one, and 21. to the other, that they might pay thei r d e bt s b e f ore t h ey came away, and after they had worked only four days, they absconded, without having made a single complaint. It had cost him 111. to have them brought back from Birmingham. After some further evidence, Sir CHAPMA N MARSHA LL thought that, looking at all the circumstances of this case, he ought to award the full punish ment allowed by law. He therefore adjudged, that for three months their wages be abated to one shilling a week, and that for that term they be imprisoned and kept to hard labour. Mr. Alderman THOMAS Wows said he remembered what Mr. Pontifex told him on applying for the warrant, that on account of the regulations enforced, or attempted to be en forced, by the men, orders which used to be sent from abroad to England were now being executed on the Continent. What would become of the men and their wives and families, if they thus ruined the trade of their masters ? Mr. Ponti fex mentioned one order for 10,0001. worth of goods which had been so transferred to the Continent, because he could not compete, either in price or certainty in time, owing to the combination. Mr. Pontifex begged to state another fact. He had been conversing with a great coppersmith at Paris, who employed 500 hands, and who was now in England. This gentleman contemplated bringing over foreign workmen to establish. ments he meant to open at Liverpool and elsewhere. This gentleman would, on account of the different mode of paying and managing his work-people, be able to und erse ll any Eng glish house. He (Mr. Pontifex) should be compelled in self defence, to open establishments in Belgium and elsewhere, employing foreigners only in them. Mr. Alderman Toosias Woon said the conduct of the braziers was exactly like that of the Spitalfields weavers some years ago, who persisted in unreasonable claims and regu lations till they drove the London trade into the country, never to return, and leaving themselves nothing but wretched ness. The prisoners were then committed to Bridewell for three months. BOW-STREET. On Thursday John Morris, a discharged policeman of the A division, was placed at the bar, charged with assaulting Sergeant Tarlton, of the same division, under the following circumstances : The defendant, it appeared, was detected by the ser geant, while on duty in St. James's Park, conducting himself in an improper manner, and on his return to the station-house he made a report of the circumstance to the inspector on duty, which was forwarded to Scot land-yard, in the usual way, for the consideration of the Commissioners. The parties were 'accordingly ordered to appear before Colonel Rowan, and, after the case un derwent a full investigation, the defendant was sentenced to be dismissed from the force forthwith, the Commis sioners feeling satisfied that the complaint had been made upon proper grounds. The parties had scarcely retired from the apartment where such business is usually trans acted, when the defendant clenched his fist and struck the sergeant a violentiblow on the temple, which stunned him, and he was immediately ordered to be conveyed to this Court to have thecharge of assault preferred against him. Mr. HALL having heard the evidence of the sergeant, who was the only witness, said that if such misconduct was not followed up with the punishment it deserved there would be an end to all order in the force, and the public must naturally suffer. The defendant admitted having committed the assault, but said it was in a moment of irritation, for the ser geant did not prefer the complaint before the Commis sioner on oath, nor was it supported by any other witness. Mr. HALL had every reason to know the impartial manner in which Colonel Rowan investigated and dig posed of the cases brought before him, and as there was no doubt of the violent conduct of the defendant he ordered him to pay a fine of 31. or be sent to prison for three weeks. The defendant being unable to pay the fine, was then removed. QUEEN-SQUARE. James Kent, a respectable-looking mechanic, was charged with being drunk, and attempting to m a k e away with himself. Policeman Palmer, 53 B, stated that on Wednesday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, he saw the de fendant, who was drunk, go down the steps of Westrnin ster on to the pier, as h e thought - with the intention of going by one of the steam . -boats. However, when he got to the extreme edge, he threw himself in. A waterman put off to his assistance, and succeeded in saving him as he was about sinking the second time. Witness then took him to the station-house. The defendant, in answer to .the charge, said he was the brother of Bridget Sheean, who was drowned on, Monday last, With a newly-married couple, at Westmin ster-bridge. The loss of his sister had effected him so that he had been like a madman since, and on the occa sion alluded to he jumped in, not so much with the in tention of drowning himself as to endeavour to find his sister's bOdy. Mr. BURRELL discharged the defendant, at the :same time observing, that flying to drink was the most sure way of increasing grief instead of diminishing it, and the `wo maladies were sufficient to deprive any person of his reason. W OR SHIP- STREET. Elizabeth Driver, a young woman of uncom mon per sonal attracti ons , whose unhappy case occupied the at tention of Mr. Broughton on Saturday last, was again brought before him yesterday. The prisoner was found wandering about the sheds of St. Luke's, at an early hour on Saturday morning, by police-constable G 120, in answer to whose inquiries she stated that she was then under recognizances to appear at an adjourned coroner's inquest on the body of a child that was supposed to have been murdered. On inquiry she said that she had been seduced by a captain in 'the army, who had gone abroad, and she refused to give any further explanation. The inspector having ascertained the residence of her father, wrote to him, and he attended this day. He was a venerable grey-headed old man,,and stated that the prisoner had been in the service of a re spectable family in the country, but she left them. sud denly, and nothing was heard of her until ho received _ - the letter from the inspector. Her mother was very un happy in conseqin. , nce of In:r loss, and it was his wish•to take her back with him into the country. Th 3 MAGISTRATE asked the girl if she was willin g t( accompany her fathe r home, but she positively refused to do so. The MAGISTRATE—How then do you propose to live? Prisoner 7 l don't wish to live. Th 3 MAGISTR&TE then -said that it was his duty whilst she remained in her present condition of mind, to detain her in custody. He should remand her for a week, and if her obdurate state of feeling continued unaltered at the expiration of that time; he should send her to the sessions for threatening self-destruction, and it was pro bable, under the circumstances, tiPtat she would be sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The prisoner, with an air of sullen apathy, was removed to the cell. le did CORN AVERAGES.

Bartlett, a waterman, plying at the Tower i-stairs, appeared before Mr. Broderip to answer the complaint of a gentl man, named Baxendalu, who charged him with ex acting more than his fare. The complainant and three othi r gentlemen hired, the defendant at the Tower-stair•, on Thurs day last, to convey them on board the Soho steamer, bound for Antwerp, lying off the Tower, and for this service 4s. was de manded instead of Is., the legal fare. He was then informed by Mr. Raxendale, that if the demand were persisted in he would be summoned before the Thames-police Magistrates, when he pointed to his boat, and, in an insulting manner re plied, " You can do that if you like, there is my name on the wherry." The name of Henry Wheatley was on the boat, and a summons was taken out against the owner, who, on being made acquainted with the facts, gave such information that the defendant was compelled to appear before the magistrate, end it seemed that he took the boat from the stairs without the per mission of Wheatley. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said the gentleman came down to the stairs during the tremendous storm on Thursday, that he carried their luggage from the cabs to the boat, and that he rowed them from the Tower Stairs to St. Katharine's. Mr. BaODERIP said the defendant had been guilty of many offences, and was liable to a penalty for each. He had no right to work another person's boat, and he was bound to produce a printed list of the fares when called upon. He was, however, only summoned for one offence, that of charg in; more than his fare, and it was the imperative duty of the Magistrate, who had to protect the public as well as the honest waterman, to inflict the full penalty when no miti gating circumstances could be adduced. In this case every thing possible was done to baffle the complainant, and he had been put to great expense and the trouble of three days' attendance. It was quite notorious that where one case of ex tortion was brought forward, fifty were suffered to remain un punished, and the public ought to be much obliged to Mr. Baxendale for his itterference. He should sentence the de fendant to pay a fine of 40s. and the costs . ; and he should award some compensation to the waterman Wheatley, who had behaved very well in the matter, and who had assisted in bring ng the defendant to justice. EDINBURGH TOWN COUNCIL. THE FAST-DAY. Bailie RICHARDSON said he had found that the Gene ral Assembly had ordered Thursday first to be set apart as a day of humiliation and prayer, in consequence of the present position of the Church. The Church ques tion was one which had certainly agitated the country far and wide, and he was not prepared to say that he could go alcing with the majority c f the General Assem bly in regard to it. Mr. LOTHIAN rose to order. Sir JOHN DALYELL thought Bailie Richardson was quite in order. He (Sir John) had that day learned, for the first time, that there was to be a fast in two days hence. He had never heard of it before in his life— (Laughter)—and he wanted to know something about it. Bailie RICHARDSON assured Mr. Lothian that he had never heard of the fast until Sunday last. The state ment he wished to make was a very short one. Al though a member of the Church himself, he was aware that a great number of those over whom he held authority by virtue of the chain he wore, were not bound to obey the laws of the Church ; and that he would not be doing equal justice to those whom he represented, if he deserted his seat on Thursday next, merely because a fast had been ordered by the Church. --(Hear, hear.) He had, therefore, directed the officers - of the Bailie Court to summon all parties in the cases on the roll for that day, as usual ; and he should also attend to all applications from the gaol for aliment, as on ordinary days. He did not mean to propose that the Council should interfere in the slightest degree with those under their authority, such as teachers and others —some of whom were licentiates of the Church, and might be brought into trouble for their conduct, if he might judge from the proceedings of the Church in other cases—(Hear, hear)—but certainly, so far as regarded himself, being entirely independent of any thing the Ge neral Assembly could do to him, he intended to charge his public duties as a magistrate the same as on other days. Bailie GRIEVE said, that without any communication with Bailie Richardson or any of the other magistrates, he had, the day before yesterday, directed Captain Steuart to attend the Police Court on Thursday as usual. He held that they should have " mercy before sacrifice ;" and as there might be at least a- dozen of people in the police cells—some of them, perhaps, innocent—h - - not see why they should be confined an additiona, twenty-four hours because it happened to be the General Assembly's fast.—(Hear, hear.) After some conversation the subject dropped. Mr. DRYSDALE gave notice of the following motion for the consideration of th e C ounc il, on t h e l as t Tuesday of September :—" That the Magistrates and Council having taken into their consideration the disputes and differences which have of late arisen in the Church o' Scotland, and the manifold evils to the patrons then, arising, have resolved, and do resolve, that it is their duty to grant no presentation to any parish in the Church, the patronage whereof is vested in them, exeepf to persons who are willing to obey the law of the land and to yield submission to the, acts and orders of General Assembly, or any other ecclesiastical court, so far only as such acts or orders may be consistent w that law." Mr. WHITE said he was surprised to hear Mr. Drys dale produce such a motion, THE FAST-DAY. AGAIN. The members were just about to separate, when Mr. BLACK asked whether it was understood that all the public institutions in the city might be open on Thursday—the High School for instance—if the parties in charge of them were pleased to do so. The LORD PROVOST (with great warmth)—.l shall deeply regret if any of the public institutions are open on that day. If the High School were to be opened on Thursday, I should consider it little less extraordinary than one of our own Magistrates sitting in the next room. Mr. STEWART — Are the public to have their letters delivered on Thursday ? Mr. BLACK—Yes, that is important also. Notice should be sent to Sir Edward Lees that the commercial part of the community expect their letters to be delivered as usual. Mr. LOTHIAN-Mr. Black had better move at once that the High School should be kept open—for that is what he wants. Mr. BLACK—I want nothing of the kind. I want merely a declaration, that parties in charge of the Nigh School, and all the other public institutions, are at per fect liberty to keep them open if they so choose. The LORD PROVOST—Yes ; but that declaration would be interpreted as being to the very contrary effect. Mr. Dtinin—Undoubtedly it would. The best way is to leave the inhabitants to follow out their opinions as they like, and so avoid coming into unpleasant colli sion with any party. Mr. BLAcK—That's my opinion. Mr. DUNBAR—YCS ' • but I object to any declarati on on the subject. It ought to be observed that the present fast was not the scheme of any faction or section of the Church ; it was agreed upon by the unanimous opinion of the Assembly. I do not give any opinion of the propriety of the fast ; but I have no doubt that most conscientious Churchmen will comply with the order. If, however, we give the deliverance asked by Mr. Black, it would appear as if we were stating broadly that we will approve of the people disobeying it. Mr. BLACK—I do not see that at all. Mr. DitYsDALE—I move that we adjourn withou giving any opinion.—Agreed. The Council then adjourned. CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR IN ENGLAND.— Forty yews ago, when the wealth of the country was far less than it now is, every man, woman, and child, in the United Kingdom consumed, on the average, 22i lbF. of sugar in the year. There are no means of finding out with accuracy the consumption of the various ranks into which society is divided ; but this rate of consump tion is not considered to be lavish for any—even the humblest class in the community—may fairly be in ferred from the dietaries now in use in various work houses in England, where the aged paupers are allowed seven ounces of sugar per week, or at the rate of 22 lbs. per annum. If this quantity is thought no more than is reasonable for the inmates of a work house, we may be pretty certain that it is greatly below the rate of consumption among the easy classes, We hays been at some pains to ascertain the yearly consumption of sugar per head among persons in the middle rank of life, to whom the cost is not a matter of much importance, / and who do not vary their mode of living with every change in the market price of provisions. In such families the yearly consumption is 371 b. for each individual, or ounce per diem. In many families the consumption is far greater than this ; but if we suppose that one fourth of the people of England use this moderate quantity, the average consumption in 1801, of the re• maining three-fourths, must have been 17 2-31 b. Last year the average consumption per head throughout the kingdom was 15f1b. Assuming that one-fourth of the people used 361 b., the average yearly consumption of the remaining three-fourths was eight pounds per head - or just one-third of the allowance given to paupers, and not one-half the quantity used by the working classes in 1801. That the consumption here stated of 371 b. per annum is not an excessive estimate, is shown by the fur ther fact, that every person serving in her Majesty's ships receives for daily use 1 ounce of sugar, being at the rate of 341 b. 3 ounces per annum. At this same rate the consumption of the kingdom would be more than 120 per cent. greater than it actually was in 1840. ADMIRAL CROWN.—We observed it noticed in the obituary of some of the rublic journals, that " Admiral Sir Robert Crown died lately at St Peteraburgh, aged eighty nine. He was a native of North Britain, and entered the Russian service at the close of the American war." Admiral Crown was a native of our " fair city," where several of his relations, one of them a niece, is still alive. His name was originally Croom, not uncommon in Perth, and may be a corruption of Crom, suet as the " Gow Crom " of Sir Walter Scott. He entered the British navy at a very early age, in which his tact and steadiness gained him promotion. After entering the Russian service he attracted the attention of the Muscovite Government, and rapidly rose to rank and distinction in the fleet and at Court. He stood, we believe, for many years of the first rank in the service, and enjoyed high honours and emoluments to his dying day.—Perth Paper. IV 0R N T.7q . C - ,q U. i ti .
