The Spectator of last Saturday contained an article entitled " Legal Anti-Corn-law Agita tion," stating that it was doubted whether Par- liament had the power to impose taxes for any other purpose than that of raising a revenue for • the State ; and the tax on grain being a tax to enrich the corporate body of the landed interest, the Parliament in imposing it seems to have ex ceeded its powers for a purpose bordering on high treason. There has been some talk, it was added, of freighting a vessel with grain front the Baltic, and endeavouring to land the cargo without paying the duty, in order that the question as to whether the duty on imported grain is a constitutional tax, may be argued be fore the Courts of Westminster. We do not re fer to the train of argument or to the suggestion as a no velty, for both have previously appeared in The Sun, hut to state what is going on in men's minds that the Tories shall have no excuse, by pleading ignorance, for the mischi e f t h eir political quackery will bring on society. Our argument, indeed, was not that the tax is unconstitutional, for the Constitution is to be gathered from practice, and it has been the prac tice, beyond legal memory, to levy such taxes; nor even that it is beyond the power of Parlia ment—for Parliament has done the iniquitous act—but that it is a violation of the funda_ mental principle of society, namely, that alle giance is only due for protection ; that the pro tection of property is the principal duty of the State ; and that the Corn-tax is a violation by that power, which is constituted to prevent all such violations, of the right of property in every per son who pays the Bread-taii. The suggestion which has appeared in The Sun on the subject, was not to appeal to WeStminster-hall, for Westminster-hall is bound to obey and interpret the statute law, and knows nothing of a Con stitution opposed to that, but to run the cargo and appeal to the people, the source and foun tain of all human law. They, and not the Judges, who are expressly forbidden to try or question the decisions of Parliament, must de cide whether the law which taxes the whole of the consumers of bread, in order to enrich the owners of rent, be a law which ought to be obeyed. We refer, however, to this subject to leave the Tories without any excuse for bringing the ques tion of the duty of allegiance and the question of obedience to the law into discu,:sion.and doubt, by Obstinately- maintaining a law which, on prin ciples of common justice and of political society, is untenable. Such discussions, growing out of the Corn-laws, have found vent in pamphlets, and have now reached the cautious Spectator, which tells us that it has heard such opinions, and such a train of argument, more or less dis tinctly enunciated from different quarters. Peo ple begin, therefore, very generally, driven by the obstinate adherence of Parliament to a bare faced scheme of plunder by law, to examine the power, rights, and duties of Parliament itself. For society such an inv , ;stigation can have none but beneficial effects. The more accurately the powers and duties of Parliament are de fined., the more general become s the conviction, if correct and true, that the bounds to its bene ficial exercise of power are very narrow, the better must it be for the community. But we are induced to think that such a course of inves tigation will be perilous to Parliament, because the practical exercise of its functions by no means accords with any recognized theory of govern ment. We cannot suppose that the last Parliament was more deficient in legislative capacity than its predecessors of fifty, or a hundred, or five hun dred years ago but the criticism continually directed against its acts and character must satisfy every man that its laws—if they should last so long—must be very mischievous a hundred years hence. We do not reverence its decisions, and how can we expect that our successors, who will have much more knowledge than we have, should do otherwise than overturn and lanh them to scorn? The public is of opinion that it has not done what is right, and the public of the next generation will not obey its laws. We treat the laws of former Parliaments in the same manner. It is one of the remarkable cir cumstances of modern times that every inquiry into any particular branch of law, whether the criminal, the civil, or the ecclesiastical, whether made by individuals like Mr. BENTHAM or Sir SAMUEL RomILLy, or made by Commit tees of Parliament or Commissions of Inquiry, have one and all ended in the conclusion—not sparing the Church, which was investigated by Sir R. PEEL'S Commission—that the law or in stitution inquired into was erroneous or defec tive, and required revision. That conclusion, general as to our own laws, few or none of which are considered to be based on justice, is rendered still more striking and general by a si milar conclusion having been adopted in other countries. During some ages blind and besotted revezence of ancient institutions was the creed of politicians; of our own age it is a remarkable cir cumstance that they have all been exposed to a close scrutiny, and upon that scrutiny they have one and all been condemned. Those who ex pect to maintain bad laws in spEte of that gene ral principle, must suppose that they can turn back the course of society. Such a general fact should make our Legisla tors adopt as a principle of conduct that the rubbish of ancient and worn-out laws should be gradually cleared away. The reverse is the con duct of the Tories. They profess a determina tion to preserve them all. They call themselves Conservatives, signifying hoarders and guardians of law-rubbish; and . they avow a determination to maintain laws that are manifest violations of all the principles of political society. Now we must solemnly warn the Tories that they cannot continue to do this without placing in jeopardy the whole fabric of political society. A majority, however numerous it may be, cannot carry them safely to the end of such a career. The united declaration of all the Parliaments that ever ex isted cannot make, wrong right, or make men reverence evil ; and the proposed attempt of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Tories to uphold mono poly will end, if he be successful in Parliament, in speedily overthrowing the authority of Par liament itself. Why the Tory Journajs delayed so long as August 2d, to notice a dinner given by Sir JAMES GRAHAM to the electors of Dorchester as long ago as July 22d, we can not tell, but we presume they were ashamed of the renegade. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S empty piece of twaddle was published with express haste, but not a single reporter from either Times or Post was sent to report what Sir JAMES said; and our Contempo raries were indebted for his meagre speech to a provincial journal. They hardly treat their third hero fairly, by wholly consigning him to a pro vincial paper, and not publishing his oration for ten days. We regard Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S speech as worth very little notice. He pointed out that the Ministers had been defeated in some manu facturing as well as in agricultural districts, and that their scheme of a fixed duty on corn had not been favourably received. The Right Hon. Baronet also defended the Corn-laws against his own former and bitter attack on all such laws, and, knowing the weak powers of his own argu ment, he was successful against himself. The Tory and monopolist GRAHAM, defeated the Whig and free-trade GRAHAM, he being no ex ception to the general rule, that when men are young they are ingenuous, and prefer truth to interest, and that as they advance in life they get corrupted by the world, and prefer interest to truth. There is only one passage of his speech that we think worthy of remark. The. Right Hon. Baronet said " that more was expected from human legislation than it could accomplish," " if it was expected by human laws to provide for Providential calamities." He also said, that "to pretend to make a country altogether indepen dent of the evils arising from an insufficient supply, was the pretence of quacks and empirics." " He would have man look with humility on all the efforts of legislative wisdom, and look up for reliance on him who is the giver of all good." Such is the language ascribed, to Sir JAMES GRAHAM; what is his conduct and the conduct of his colleagues? They insist by their laws on providing against Providential calamities, and the pre text of the Corn-laws is, that it secures the people in the long run against them, by bestowing on the people a greater supply of food than Provi dence would bestow, if Sir JAMES GRAHAM were not to interfere with its dispensations by that kind of legislation which proceeds from quacks and empirics. They pretend, also, to lessen the evils of one country being dependent on an other, though that is the result of the wisdom of Providence, which he tells us to rely on, and is opposed to his separating, anti-social, anti human legislation, which he in the same breath tells us is no better than foolishness. It is a pity that Sir JAMES can no more be consistent in pronouncing two consecutive sentences, than in discussing a subject at two periods of his life. In one sentence he tells us to rely on Provi dence, and in the next he vaunts to the skies the miserable drivelling of the landlords, which aim s at perverting the order of nature and the mutual dependence of nations. Accord; .ordin g to report, has propos e d to raise a t ij r o o o r dp o F f 1 1. 17 A e N o C m I S a n E r y o :u T readyo ri to meet some expected resistance to the laws. The gentry an d the T ory J ournals pretend to be apprehensive of d anger to the upper classes of society, and they take precautions and make laws to ensure their Own safety. I n the Perpetrat e on t h e l ower pretend to dread. They mean time, however, they naturallyPo .dou2bles c l a sses the very evils th e y Opuurlcaonmonmunuintydeisr exterminate the peopl e . circumstances. It favourable circumstances, it self every twenty - five years. placed under most favourable is the complaint of the Tories that "our produc ing power is too great." To our trade the whole world, except as our own laws limit and restrain it, is invitingly open. Our vast Colonies, to reach which costs no more than to move a N ew England family to the Far West, are as great a re source of unbroken and virgin soil for our people, as is possessed by the inhabitants of the United States. We surpass them, it is supposed, i n agricultural and manufacturing skill, and there fore are we naturally placed under more favour able circumstances than the United States, which double their population every twenty-three years. In our circumstances every short-coming of the natural increase of population, the germ of all social prosperity, must be set down to unjust laws, which have for their effect, and very often have for their object, to keep down the number of the people. For example, the rough inde pendence of the poor Catholics in Ireland, has long been a subject of bitter complaint, and ex ertions have been made by the landlords, as in dividuals, and in Parliament, to prevent their in crease. The landlords seem to have succeeded. The population, instead of doubling in 25 years, the natural rate, or even increasing 16 per cent., as they did in the 10 years previous to 1831, have only increased, according to an account published in yesterday's Chronicle, at the rate of .5 per cent. during the last ten years. In the county of Car low the population has decreased. We know, then, by the result, that a process is at work by which the people are prematurely cut off and prevented from multiplying as fast as they ought, and as fast as they would, were industry left en tirely. free. If we could suppose that the check which the increase of population ; has received, were accom panied with an improvement in the condition of individuals, it might be endurable; but we believe it to be a general law that as population declines the condition of individuals becomes worse. The inhabitants of the manufacturing districts are rapidly falling into the most disheartening poverty, and though they have not increased so fast as at former periods, their condition has been much deteriorated. We lately laid before our readers the census of Paisley, from which it appeared that the people of that town are worse lodged in 1841 than they were in 1831. Of the manufacturing districts in general, the Rev. Baptist NOEL says— " It is shocking to look down into the cellars, which are tenanted by destitute thousands, in the poorer parts of Liverpool and Manchester. The town missionaries in these two towns, who, living entirely among the poor, probably know more of their circumstances than almost any other persons, not excepting even clergymen, assured me last year that the distress which they witnessed in visiting among the people was wide-spread, and intense beyond description. flow could it be otherwise ? I saw some mills closed, others were working half-time, and in the store-rooms o f severa l I saw i mmense p il es of goods, heaped up to the very ceilings, for which the manufac turers could find no profitable sale." Thus misery is the check to the progress of population, and the census, which tells us that we are becoming stationary as to numbers, also tells us that the condition of the people is*becom ing worse and worse. They are exterminated by misery. They are even now the prey to those very calamities which the upper classes pretend to dread. In the meantime the landlords, the guilty authors of more human misery than ever was inflicted in our times by the most savage despot, are everywhere employed in improving their estates, enlarging their parks, and building fine houses. The people decay and starve ; but game is abundant. The Paris Journals of Monday have all reached us. The news of the French victories in Africa, published in our Second Edition of last night, created no sensation in Paris. Such successes are in truth of very little moment in any point of view. While every town garrisoned by the French is blockaded by the Arabs, and all ex terior communication cut off, it matters very little whether such garrisons be few or numerous, or for what number of months they are pro visioned. The Toulouse Correspondent of the Commerce writes as follows of the state of affairs in that city : We are inundated with troops, but the Toulousans do not appear much frightened by them. They are deter , mined to stand firm on the ground of legal resistance. The census will not be taken without violations of domi cile, every man being resolved to suffer his doors to be broken down rather than open them to the agents of the Treasury. The preliminary inquiries are going on. Some citizens have became accusers of M. Lenormand, the late Commissary of Police Extraordinary, pretending that they have legal proofs of a number of agitators hav ing been formed by him into brigades, with instructions to shout A bas Mahul! A bas Plougoulm ! A has Humann! It is further said, that by the same hands a charivari was prepared for the arrival of M. Maurice Duval ; but this trick of the police was defeated. The Journal de Toulouse states that at the funeral de remony for the victims of July on the 28th ult., in the cathedral of Toulouse, at which all the civil a n d mili tary authorities, including M. Maurice Duval, Lieute nant-General Rulhieres, and M. Nicias Gaillard, were present, the Municipal Council, who had arrived without any other escort than some officers of the National Guard out of uniform, were treated by the crowd with great respect. On their leaving the church the crowd, which was composed chiefly of about 2,000 National Guards in plain clothes, formed in line four abreast, and followed the Council in silence to the interior of the Capitole, where they took off their hats and defiled be fore them. M. Arzac, as Mayor ad interim, returned thanks, and was frequently saluted with cries of "Vive M. Arzac Vive le Conseil Municipal !" A letter from Cagliari in the Courrier de Lyon says :—" The - island of Asinara, a short distance from the coast of Sardinia to the north of Capo del Falcone, has been granted by the King of Sardinia to one of his generals of engineers, to introduce such improvements as it may be found capable of. This island is six leagues in length, with the average breadth of three leagues. It is inhabited by herdsmen, hitherto divested of all civili sation. They aae of an unmixed race . , preserve all the fine countenances of the south, and the women are re markable for the regular features which characterise the women of the Campagna di Roma. Game, and particu larly partridges, which are abundant, form its chief articles of commerce, and have given it the appellation of the Island of Partridges. Porto Torres is the principal market, where the vessels of the Mediterranean come to carry on their traffic." :Mlle. Rachel has arrived at Bordeaux. 4 ‘ On the 18th ult.," says a letter from Evreux, when the rain did so much damage in this country, a grove of firs, birch, and other trees, which stood on the descent of a hill near Venables, having become detached from the substratum by the flood, glided down into the valley zed planted itself firmly on a fine field of oats, which it covered so entirely that the farmer, on coming next day to see what injury had been done to his crop by the storm, was a long time before he could discover its locality, and then found a part of his oats converted into trees." Bangui, a man condemned by the Court of Assizes of the Loire Inferieure, to hard labour for life, for the violation of his own daughter, was to have been exposed in the pillory at Nantes a few days ago, but on entering his cel2 to convey him to the pillory he was found dead, having hung himself. The Hague papers give the following painful ac count of the death of Mme. Rochussen, the young and amiable wife of the Dutch Minister of Finance. She had lain in a few weeks ago, but was still in a feeble state, when her brother, whom she had not seen for ten years, arrived from abroad. Intending to give his sister an agreeable surprise, he entered her chamber without even her knowing that he was in Holland. The shock was so strong, that Mme. Rochussen was thrown into a fainting. fit, which terminated in her death, before even the Minister could be called from his cabinet to receive her last sigh. Extract of a letter from Corfu :—" Colonel John stone has joined his regiment, the 42d Royal Highlanders, quartered here. This corps has a regimental library for the use of the non-commissioned officers and soldiero, which has been established since 1830, and generally consists of from 1,500 to 2,000 volumes. It has been carried about with the regiment at home or abroad, without any difficulty, since its formation, and the sub scriptions to it have amounted to 1,0891., all subscribed by the soldiers, with the exception of oae shilling per month from each officer. The books are seldom used by the officers, from an unwillingness to interfere with the comforts of the men." A letter from Athens, in the Leipzig Gazette, says that the British Government has refused to accept M. Trikoupis, as Greek Ambassador to the Court of St. James's ; and adds, that Lord Palmerston has written to the Greek Cabinet that the first duty of their Govern ment was to enforce economy, in order to be able to pay the interest of the debt. The Prussian State Gazette announces that the Em peror of Russia has conferred upon Major-General Abu Musselim Khan Schamchal and Tarki, Sovereign of. Buinak, Wall, and Thakestan, the decoration of the Im perial Order of Stanislaus the First, in acknowledgment of the zeal and energy displayed by him in the war with the mountaineers of Circassia. The Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres has proposed as subjects for prizes for 1842 the following topics:—" The composition of the Roman tribunals, and the administration of justice from the Gracchi to Ha drian. 1,500fr."—" The history and progress of the Greek establishments in Sicily, 2,ooofr."—And for 1843, " The history of Cyprus under the Primes of the House of Lusignan, 2,000 fr." The body of a young man, well dressed, was found, the day before yesterday, in a fosse in the Champs Ely-sees. As there was money in his pocket, and no traces of violence appeared on his body, it is supposed that he died suddenly, and was not murdered. He was taken to the Morgue. A Berlin letter, in the Frankfort Journal, states that on tho afternoon of the 18th ult., the day of the violent storm, which was felt in France, a phenomenon of the same kind was witnessed in that part of Prussia. The heat had been very oppressive during the day, and the approa c h o f t h e rain was preceded by a whirlwind of dust. The direction of the wind was from south to north. The rain tell in torrents, and the lightning was exceedingly vivid. S evera l p eop l e were over th rown by the f orce of the wind, and the damage done to trees and houses was considerable. r m e a m n b U ur ii g i , on co Custom s. logne, The Ki ng o f B avaria has proposed the establish ment of peri o di ca l exh i bitions of the produce of the use ful art s i n t h e several countries connected by the Ger m d HLiesipMsiacj,esastythsuegtogewstsnsßbeerslitn;niNteud for this purpose.

" This alteration," it adds, "is to be extended to the artillery and engineers, but each corps will preserve its distinguishing colours and facings. Nothing, it seems, is yet determined upon as to the dress of the cavalry." -- A letter dated - Leghon, 24th ult., -- tontains the fol lowing passage :—" To judge from what is passing round us, one is naturally led to believe that-We are on the, eve of some_ great terrestrial revolution.. We have just been witness of an atmosperic phenomenon, which we could wish to hear explained by some natu ral philosopher. On Sattulay the I7th ult., at three o'clock in the morning, an extremely hot wind set in with gusts from the south-west ; it might, without ex aggeration, be compared to the steam produced by a heated furnace. Every one in consequence rose, finding them selves much oppressed. There .were four thermometers exposed by scientific persons, whichat mid-day marked 26 degrees ; at one o'clock, 276 ; at a quarter past one, 28 ;at half-past one, 29 ;at two, 30. At this point the thermometers, after having vacillated as the wind rose and fell, until three o'clock, descended gradually until eight o'clock in the afternoon, when they marked only 26 degrees. At the same time the elevation of the quicksilver in the barometer was 28 inches without va riation. During the morning of the 22d, at half-past two, three shocks of an • earthquake were felt, accom panied by a considerable noise from the west. Much apprehension was entertained that some calamities would be announced from other parts of Italy." A letter from Geneva announces that " the police has arrested at the inn called the Grand Aigle, a partner in one of the first banking houses of Vienna. He had about him noes and bills to the amount of 150,000 f., and a considerable sum of money. Some say that this per son has absconded with this property belonging to the house ; others pretend that it is the principal partner in the house, Mr. Steiner, who has been arrested as sus pected of fraudulent bankruptcy, and that it was disco vered from a letter that his accomplice was to arrive at Geneva on a certain day." Gazette de France. SAINT JEAN RED:DE-PORT, JULY 26.—Yesterday evening nine Spanish priests came from Estella to the Aldudes ; seven,of them passed through this town going to Mauleon, and beyond it towards Pau. They are of the number of those who will not submit to the orders of Esparterd concerning the last bull of the Pope. They were to be arrested. It appears that a great number of their brethren have been thrown into prison.—Le Com merce. The Constitutionnel has a passage in which it inti mates that M. Humann has submitted to the Council of Ministers several proposals tending to reduce the expen diture of 1843 to an equality with the revenue, consider ing that the late Convention between the Five Powers seems to promise some repose to Europe. Certainly if M. Humann would attempt to reduce only useless and unprofitable disbursements, we should heartily approve his perseverance in demanding that the expenditure shall not exceed the revenue. But if it is intended under the pretext of economy to recommend the ridiculous and in the end burdensome operations of diminishing the effective strength of our army and navy, we shall oppose it to the utmost of our power, and will spare no pains to communicate to the country our just . apprehension. The situation of France and of Europe will not allow a disarming to be thought of. The only result would be that perhaps in less than six months it would be neces sary again to form, on a sudden, the Cadres and the Material, which had been disorganised. Meantime we should be weak and condemned to inaction. In a word, short-sighted politicians are ever labouring to place France in the situation from which the Ministry of the Ist of March endeavoured to extricate it.—Le Commerce.

It now appears that we had been misinformed. His Lordship, with Lady Stratheden and the Hon. Miss Campbell, are at present on a visit to Lord and Lady Talbot de Malahide, at Malahide Castle. —Dublin Evening Mail. THE SPEAKERSHIP—We have reason to known that Sir Robert Peel has communicated to Mr. C. Shaw Le fevre his intenticn to support the re-election of that gen tleman in the event of his being proposed, on the meet ing of the new Parliament, as Speaker of the House of Commons. We may add that those personal and poli tical friends of the Right Hon. Baronet to whom this intention has been imparted, concur unanimously in the propriety of the decision. It is known to our readers that we should have preferred a different course. We are perfectly aware that a different course would have been preferred by some valuable Conservative Members of the House of Commons; but this does not prevent the expression of our firm belief and of our earnest hope, that, all circumstances being duly considered, the Ccinservative Members of the House of Commons will unanimously embrace the decision, adopted, for himself, by Sir Robert Peel.— Morniug Post. COCICNEYCALITIES OF " THE SUN."—An amusing letter appeared in the Times of yesterday, under this heading, addressed to that paper from a Corres pondent at Ilfracombe, and we candidly confess that we have not seen any true statement in the Times, with this y exception, for the last three months. Th e wr i ter of the letter, who styles himself "An Obse rver ( an d an Ad rhiarter wetoo confounded ) of ' Times'and Seaso ns ," justl complains grouse-shooting with pheasant shooting, and - that the Ist of Septembr was erroneously put down for the Ist of October. Possibly the para graph in question was written by a Cockney ; at all events it was not written by one who had shot muir fowls in Scotland, or been at a battue in the parks of the Dukes of Rutland and Beaufort. But could not this ob servant Correspondent be impartial, and point out the blunders of the Times about the shooting of people in Ireland ? He evidently is a good aristocrat, and thinks pheasant-shooting a matter of the first.importance. LLOYD'S SHIPPING—(THIS DAY. LONDON, Auc. 4.—Wind this day at noon N. to N.E.

" Who runs may read." A Toulouse correspondent of the Commerce states that the inhabitants of that city are resolved to offer a determined passive resistance to the taking of the census. The agents of the Government will be obliged to break open all the doors before they can make the returns. A resistance of this sort is a thousand times more to be dreaded than a hostile revolutionary outburst. Passive resistance paralyses all the powers of any Government against which it is opposed. On the 26th ult. M. Arguelles took the oaths as guardian of Queen Isabella IL, in the saloon of the Se nate at Madrid. All the great officers of State were pre sent, and the ceremony was very imposing. The protest of the ex-Regent was officially delivered to Espartero on the 25th. No notice was taken of it. Nine Spanish ecclesiastics entered France on the 25th ult., preferring voluntary exile . to an obedience to the Regent's injunction respecting the Pope's allocution. Will Louis Philippe discover in this expatriation of the clergy another attack on crowned heads ? Her Most Faithful Majesty • Queen Donna Maria is trying her hand at match-making. She, too, is among the candidates for the honour of giving a husband to her Royal Sister of Spain. Her Majesty's protege is her brother-in-law, a good Catholic, and quite an enthusiastic admirer of ma trimonially-disposed virgin Sovereigns. Queen Donna Maria's experience of the mental virtues of the illus trious house of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, imparts much weight to her Majesty's opinions upon an affair of such exceeding delicacy. Royalty continues to have its inconveniences in France. The National states, that " since his Majesty Louis Philippe fixed his residence at St. Cloud, a great display of military force was observed there. Cannon was placed in convenient positions, and the numerous regiments in garrison at Versailles, Sevres, St. Germain, Rueil, Nanterre, and Courbevoie were on the qui vice. The brigade of safety,' composed of select policemen, was established and reinforced. • Horse and foot patrols were constantly on duty, and the bridge was occupied by a numerous guard, which extends to the Paris road." PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle has another article on Sir Robert Peel's late Tamworth speech :—" We gave him credit," says our Contemporary, " for the external semblance of a better morality than it now appears he put on for the occasion. The incautious protest of the Post strips off this rag of decency. Its rash denial brings out into bold relief the fact that Sir Robert Peel is a states man who withholds what he knows, or professes to know, will benefit the nation, avert public calamity, and ensure public prosperity, until he first grasps the fee' of office." We do not believe that it is the " fee of office" which causes the Right Hon. Baronet's present reserve ; but that he withholds his remedy, simply and solely because he is unprovided with one. Instead of taking time by the forelock, his policy will be one of shifting expediency—to do no more than he can help— to have no settled principle of action—but to trust to chance for escape from perplexity. The Herald reads a long lecture on propriety•to the expected Tory Government, exhorting it never to lose sight of " the straightforward, genuine earnestness of the British character." From the exceeding earnestness with which our Contemporary enforces this exhortation, it is pretty evident that he is somewhat distrustful of Tory policy, and thinks that the party stand greatly in need of his refresher. The Times gives some amusing advice to the British Association—in default of a more important subject for discussion —recommending it, inter alia, "to elect an agreeable philosopher, President—a man of rank, Vice, to fix the next meeting at Cheltenham, and have plenty of experiments and eloquence," in which case, we are assured, " it will be likely to prove one of the most for midable antagonists that horse-racing has encountered in our days." The Advertiser justly remarks, " We deem the ques tion of the Corn-laws one in which the ministers of the Gospel, whether belonging to the Establish ment, or ranging themselves under the banners of Dissent, may not only with propriety take a part, but in which they ought to take a part. They are bound to do this by every consideration of humanity and religion. Were the clergy to follow this advice, they would really, instead of nominally, be showing themselves Ministers of the Gospel. But this is almost too much to expect from well• endowed Pluralists, who have an interest in maintaining Tory abuses. The Post contains an article whose object is an ex ceedingly novel and edifying one —namely, to prove that the present Tory leaders in Ireland are " men of un usual moderation and sobriety of judgment." If so, they must be strangely altered from what they were only six months since. The Dublin Evening Mail is truly of opinion that Mr. O'Connell is the sole cause of the disturbed and criminal state of Ireland. Owing to his machinations the landlords consolidate their estates, and turn wretches out to starve or murder. He alone has kept Ireland from reaping the harvest of peace, union, industry, and prosperity ; which language, translated into an idiom which we understand, means that Mr. O'Connell is the sole cause why the landlords of Ireland have been checked in the most villainous career that ever a well fed set of gentlemen ever pursued towards their half starved and over-worked brethren. The Tyne Mercury says, " Sir Robert Peel admits that the Queen has the power of choosing her own Mi nisters, at the very moment that he is urging in every possible manner the necessity of the House of Com- mons acting as the great constitutional power. He plays into the hand of the Queen, but he will not relinquish the trump cards of the Commons. He is like the man with the enormous squint, who was said, in vulgar parlance, to look two ways for Sunday. He is like the inconsistent boat man who looked one way and rowed the other. He does, indeed, act, or rather say, by and bye, in the same speech with considerable candour, more than we could have expected of him, for men's real motives, however evil and black, are sometimes most beautifully wrapt the most rough and ugly and unsightly determinations, are not uncommonly very admirably folded in the finest muslin—as some old phrase about the Archipelago has it, it's very easy to put a pirate's head in a golden cloth.' But not so Sir Robert. He is more candid than usual. He says, my advice for the present is, dismiss those who are at present in office.' This is all he wants.'' The Brighton Guardian says :—" The nation consi dered as a patient has been placed as much in Sir R. Peel's hands as a Member of Parliament as in those of the Ministers. Her disorders are legislative, not admi- nistrative ; they lie in the digestive organs, in the vital functions, not in the nerves of the will or the organs of locomotion. So far from not being admitted to feel the national pulse, as a legislator he has his hand continually upon it, and as a legislator he con tinually prescribes for the patient. The Corn-law is one of his pills, the discriminating duty on sugar is another, the timber duties are a third, Church -rates a fourth, Ecclesiastical Courts a fifth, a great limitation to the franchise is a sixth, with a great multitude of powders and draughts, steel pills, and, great depletion by taxation. It is quite false, therefore, to say • that he is .n 7t admitted to the patient ; he is a regular attendant, and continu ally forces, withever injurious effects, the most disgusting nostrums down her throat. England is already dying of Dr. Peel's attendance and Peel drugs ; and there is no hope of a cure but by throwing the physic and the doc tor out of the window." moN Ey—TRADE—CC cZ. On Monday last another large failure took place in Manchester, and more hands have been thrown out of work. On Saturday night the number of individuals then out of work, from the stoppage of different mills, amounted to no fewer than 4,000. .A.GYLICULTITRAL. We learn from several Irish journals that the pros pects of the harvest are anything but encouraging in the great corn counties of Meath and Lowth. We learn from the Tyne Mercury that the late rains have had a most beneficial effect on the potatoe and turnip crops, which are looking extremely well, and that the wheat is also looking very healthy, and is beginning to change its colour ; but is rather deficient, as well as oats, in quantity. LAW AND POLICE. At the Ipswich Assizes a baker of the name of Pettitt appeared, for having lighted up his stall on the FOREIGN. Louis Philippe is reported to have addressed a let ter to Espartero, in which his Majesty states that he regards the vote of the Cortes, declaring the office of guardian of the young Queen vacant, and appointing M. Arguelles to fill it, an attack on crowned heads. Sup posing this to be the case, which we willingly admit, as all the acts of a free people attack some prerogative or other claimed by crowned heads, a regard for public decency should have withheld the Citizen King from being the first to complain. Was the revolution of July no attack on crowned heads ? Was Louis Philippe guilty of no attack on crowned beads, when he encircled his brows with a diadem, which he had solemnly sworn to preserve inviolate upon the head of the exiled Charles the Tenth ? Louis Philippe is so very young a member of the family of Kings, that any expression of his resentment at attacks upon their prerogative sounds in the public ear like an impertinence. ' race-course at Eye, astonishing the good people of the place, with four carriage -lamp candles. Their unwonted brilliancy attracted the policeman, who remarked he had got some "spicy" ,candles, and the prisoner "fancied he had." The police Man knowing that nobody but " the general shop in Eye" furnished such can dles, repaired thither, and learnt that they had of late been robbed. All other candles of that kind there after, were laid on the counter, and a black pin stuck in the bottom of a dozen. These also disappeared. The police adjourned to where Pettitt " burnt," who denied all knowledge of the candles, except that he had such, " but they,vvere his own ;" when to his horror, the police man told him they had each a black pin stuck into the bottom, which he showed to the affrighted eyes of the baker. He was tried, and sentenced to imprisonment for two years. The trial of the Sandyses, charged with poisoning their children for the alleged diabolical purpose of ob taining the burial fees from a Siockport funeral society, is now proceeding at Chester, before Mr. Justice Erskine. The trial has already taken up two days, and the investi gation of witnesses has, so far, been thorough and minute. ELECTZONEEP.27,7G.

A cricket match was played at Harleford, the seat of Sir W. Clayton, on Wednesday last, between eleven, chiefly of 2d Life Guards, against eleven of Marlow. The Guards were the winners. The return match between the county of Kent and All England, will come off on Tuesday and Wednesday next, the 10th and 11th inst., on the Beverley Ground, at Canterbury.

On Monday an extraordinary sensation was occa sioned in Guildhall, by the appearance of a fine, large black cow, which• walked up the flight of steps leading to the Court of Common Council. We suppose the affectionate aLimal had come to look after her calves there ! A linen-draper, living near Ebury-street, Pimlico, has advertised his stock to be selling off "20 per cent., under prime cost." The large posting bills in his shop front are headed " Pro bono Pimlico." The Ilungerford Suspension Bridge is now in course of construction. The engineer is Mr. Brunel, who erected the Suspension Bridge at Clifton, over the Avon. The masonry has been contracted for at 63,0001. by Mr. G. Chadwick. The iron work is •to be exe cuted at the works of Messrs. Sandys and Co., in Corn wall, at the estimated cost of 17,0001. It is to be for foot passengers only, and the toll a half-penny each per son. The total cost of this bridge and approaches is es timated at 102,2541. At a Conservative dinner, given yesterday at Car - terbury to Mr. Bradshaw, that gentleman, alluding to the " enormities of the Catholic priesthood," observed that " they were not fit for detail," whence he ingeni ously inferred that " they would shortly be laid before the public." The Sportsman gives a curious anecdote illustra tive of the voracity of the trout, which proves that it is nearly equal in voracity to the Dundases and Bathursts of sinecure notoriety. At a meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Asso ciation, held at Dublin, on the 2d instant, a packet, en closing 2001., and a: letter from the Philadelphia Repeal Association, came addressed to Mr. O'Connell. A clause in the letter thus speaks :—Everywhere throughout this vast country, in which there are already seventeen millions of souls—from Lake Superior to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains —Societies are springing into ex istence, and collecting funds to aid the Irish people, and especially to support the tenantry—the honest tenantry of Ireland, in an independent exercise of the right of suffrage. In this great and spontaneous movement, it is but justice to the Philadelphia Repeal Association to say that they have taken the lead, and will hold it until her own Parliament shall be restored to Ireland. Should English policy and English jealousy still resist the appeals for an equality of political privi leges with the rest of the British Empire, thirty thou sand pounds sterling will be immediately raised in Ame rica for the glorious purpose of Ireland's regeneration ! Mr. O'Connell observed, in a speech delivered at the Repeal Association on Monday last, that he "had proof of several Dublin freemen recording their votes, who were sick in their beds, who were at a distance in the country, and some who were actually dead. One vote was given by a gentleman who died in Kilkenny on the same day. Another gentleman coming out of his grave to vote after having lain there upwards of two years !" We recommend these facts to the attention of the Times, who expressed himself so horrified yesterday at the enormities practised during the late Irish election. HIIMOIMS OP THE DAY. We understand that the Protestant Association of Exeter Hall, not content with the present agitated state of Ireland, are going to agitate it still further, by taking it under their special protection. A meeting on the sub ject is announced for Friday next. It considered at the Clubs as not improbable that a second dissolution of Parliament may take place at an early period.

It further praYeu,. that the Master should be directed to tax the bill, e°` according to the usual mode, but that he should tak e notice of a special agreement between the parties, by whirl it was alleged by the petitioner, the respondent had agreed e l 3 a o ; te l : Master o l a t i that in all causes in which the petitioner was personally interested, and in causes wherein he (the petitioner) failed, and did not obtain the costs, he should only K t the costs actually out of pocket ; and lie further pre." l- 7 that the taxation might be had without the paYme nt ., ° 4 the money into Court. With respect to the agreeTL_ it was distinctly swo rn t o by th e pet i t i oner, and a inion ~.,„ tinctly denied by th e res p on d ent ; b ut h e was °f 7„, un derstood the eviden ce did not s h ow t h at i t was 5° . • by both parties as set out by the even had it been fully proved, he did not think the had jurisdiction upon a petition to compel sp r , Le. performance ; all that he could do was to orde m taxation to proceed under the general rules of the C, , n , A special agreement could only be established unu . formal proceeding, instituted for the purpose. He not order an account to be taken in order to as Jerts . ! ... the general cash account ; he could do no more than t i rect the Master to ascertain what was due lois" unpaid. Certain frauds were alleged against the re:, spondent by the petitioner, in having charged sum s as having been paid to Counsel which had not been 013- bursed, and in some cases charging more than had ae", petitteoi_icort—irt tually been paid. He did not think it necessary t° into details on that part of the case. However , thought the conduct of the respondent had been such, P ; shewn by admissi on an d ev id ence, as to destroy thsci confidence which ought to exist between a principal an agent ; he would therefore order, to prevent 1 0 :, being an obstacle to the petitioner's carrying on the OD; and causes in which he was engaged, that he deliver eve, to Messrs.

Had tir j petia° ll been confined to the mere taxation &I'd delivery up of the papers, he would have given costs against th e respondent ; but as so much irrevelant scatter had be e 4 ll , introduced, and as th ere wou ld consequently be so much' difficulty in apportioning th e costs , h e would give n °ll— could not allo w suc h a case to go out of Court , without remarki ng u p on a very loose practice laicil seemed to have grown up in the dealings between court"' sel and solicitors. It appeared that now counsel were , the habit Of receiving a sum upon a general accoult; He thought that a very bad practice, and as it gave feet' lities for much fraud, he hoped in future the old 011 ' would prevail, and that counsel would receive only al )e cific sums for specific business ; there would then at ta' t times be the sigaature of the counsel for such spee ifi° sums ? which must tend to prevent any fraud. BA NKRU PTCY-(TI-1 IS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF JOHN F. HARRISON. This day being appointed for the audit under the fi st,. Mr. WATSON, Solicitor, informed the Learned Cora": missioner that there were certain law costs incurred 0 1 , 1 1 i behalf of th e p e titi on i ng cre di tor, amounting to 20 1 . , t o a further amount of 401., due for the Assignees , ..„ 14 account of which he felt b oun d t o app l y to the Court u" its assistance. Sir C. WILLIAMS said he should take care that tli s claim should be first attended to, the more so as th rjre were now proceedings pending in Chancery concern:Log certain documents of the bankrupt. Mr. Watson then applied to have a weekly allows -ne t ! of 31. 10s. made to the bankrupt, as he considered that the available assets of the estate would be c^n3ider..ib le, and he had a family of four children. Sir C. 'WILLIAMS said the value of those ass&A 111 d not yet been proved, and until t h ey were, the am ount allowed to the bankrupt would be rather a difficult point to decide. Upon the whole he should take farther time for consideration. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) POTTERY RACES.—TuEspsy. The Champagne Stakes of 20 sovs. each, h.ft., 50 adde d. T.Y.C.
