In makitag a few remarks yesterday on the schism which prevails amongst the Liberals as to the Extension of the Franchise, we wished to bring the fact dearly before our friends, with a view to their providing a remedy. We shall never get over the schism by shutting our eyes to its existence. If the Liberal party is to be built up, some clearly-defined principles of ac tion, some common objects of pursuit, must be azreed to. Compromises of opinion must take place, and however cogent may be the argu ments by which the Editors of the aristocratic Whig Journals can support the diminution of the suffrage, they must keep them for their own private circle, and not ruin their party by de nouncifig hi its name the object which i 5 dearest to the heart of the unenfraaehiscd. It will not do fbr these gentlemen to tell us that they are full of a burning zeal for the sys tem of restriction, and that they cannot restrain the impulses of their own genius. It will not do for them to say that they must preach their gospel of monopAy or die. Oa other subjects they can close their hands firmly enough, and will not, unless it suits the purpose of the party, allow the smallest portion of the truths they have locked on to escape. They must exercise the same restraint as to the SufFrage; and how ever ardent Ipcal and other rivalries may have made them in disseminating their Opinions, they ,rust, as organs of the Whigs, cease to advocate a 'nova limited constituency. We agree with the 11 7- 072-Confor m i s t, " t h at princip l es will henceforth engage the public mind." cc Government by party," it says, "is ast edming to an end." Names an d i n di v id uals f will no longer engross the public attention, but systems. What is one unit, thou g h it b e ca ll ed WELLINGTON or PEEL, to the 130,000,000 of similar units who now dwell within the wide limits of our empire ? What can there - possibly be in the thoughts of that one man, engaged in his own narrow and selfish pursuits, and ignorant of the diversified pursuits of the great multitude, that he should be a rule for ail others, and that they should wait his guidance arid his bidding? The command, or the wish of Lord J. RUSSELL, no more than the command or the wish of Sir R. PEEL, can henceforth be the law of his party. One advantage of the new position of the Libe rals is, that they cannot now be hushed i n to qui taess by the whisper, " You endanger the Government." Principles alone can hence forth be the basis on which the Liberal party is to be fbunded, and they must be clear, defined, and homogeneous. Two systems now appeal to mankind for pre ference. ney stand thee to face, and plead for th e honour of mouldiag an 1 governing society. Oa the one hand is the supreinacy of one or a few ; on the other, the equality of all, save and except the differences amongE.l iniividuals not inferiority, Nv:i;cll are to be found a:nongst all the children of men: No two are alike. Oa the one hand is distrust, generated by fear; Oil the other, mutual confidence, grow ing from mutual service. On the one hand, terror alone is relied on to keep slaves obedient; on the other, obedience, or rather concord, is dictated by manifold personal advantages. On the one hand there is nothing but restrictions imposed by the few on the many, but equally noxious to all; restrictions on locomotion, re and selling, restr i ctions on strictions on buying speaking, writing, and printing, all of which are amazingly costly to society to maintain, employing ,4 its brightest talents, and wasting its most prolific resources. On the other hand there is nothing but freedom, the reason and moral power of the many, without the exertion of physical force keeping the units subservient to the general system, and adding by mutual co-operation to the powers of all. In it there is no sacrifice of rights, but an augmentation of privileges. The one system is founded on a debasing theory, both of man and his CREATOR, supposing that the former is the single cast away of all creation, and . that the latter gave man and society no rules for guidance, till a METTERNICH, a GUIZOT, or a PEEL stepped forward to save the cast away of creation from universal wreck. The other system supposes that man, like all other animals, is adapted to the world in which he is placed, and that his CREATOR has esta blished rules for the guidance of the individual and society, which it is a high duty, and ought to be a great pleasure to study, learn, and obey. These two systems, as adverse from one another as darkness from light, now appeal to the reason of mankind and bid them choose. Nor is the world without a perfect example of each, in the same society, to guide its choice. The free, or natural system, is exemplified by the manner in which society is fed and clothed. The thousand different classes of productive la bourers, all mutually supplying each other's wants, without one knowing that the other is in existence. The. Manchester weaver, who clothes the Kentish hop-grower, while the latter supplies the former with the material of his beer—if, in his present destitution, he can get beer—are not acquainted with each other. and yet they do most delightfully contribute to supply each other's need. But this system is not confined to any one political society ; it pervades the whole family of man kind; and the cotton-grower of Kentucky and the Sheeld cutler help to clothe and feed each other, like the Kentish hop-grower and the Manchester-weaver. The system of mutual and reciprocal service, ensuring mutual and reci procal obedience, which grows from division of labour, is an example of the natural system of society. In a Church which, maintained by force and extortion, violates all the principles it pre tends to teach, and is a perpetual source of con tentions and quarrels—in a rampant aristocracy, full of arrogance and pride, committing the most heinous offences, by legislation, against morality, in order to sustain their power; acting in the very teeth of the principles on which they assert Government is founded, in the separation of class from class—manufacturers hating landowners, and landowners trying to starve out manufac turers in the unnecessary restraints which the Legislature is perpetually renewing, though they rarely or never answer • the end proposed —we have an example of that system of distrust and terror which still woos the obedience of mankind. Such being, in rude outline, the true system, and the Tories being the avowed upholders and defenders of the system of distrust and terror, the Whigs, if they mean really to be in opposition, must embrace the other system. They must adopt, in spirit and in truth, that principle they have so long toasted, " the sovereignty of the people ;" they must trust the multitude; they must confide in human nature; they must recog nise a regulating power in society independently of the Legislature ; and they must set out on the plan of gradually substituting, as circumstances will allow, the system of nature and of freedom for the system of Toryism and of slavery. That should be the ultimate aim of the Liberal party, and the means by which they should attempt to reach it are what should now engage their attention. Amongst them, and one of the foremost, if not the very foremost, as strictly coincident with the main article of the Liberal creed—confidence in man—confidence in the multitude—stands the ex tension of the suffrage. The present moment may not be propitious to stir up agitation in order to obtain that, but it must at once be recognized as an essential principle in order to produce any effectual co-operation. If the abolition of mo nopoly in trade be, as we assert, one of its prin ciples, and that one which necessity now recom mends and enforces, the abolition of a monopoly of law-making must be another. The unenfranchised are now excluded from the Constitution. They are serfs in their native land. They can take no part in public proceedings which has not for its object to obtain their own liberty, which is, and ought to be, a passion for them ; and the Liberal party cannot hope for their support unless it adopt an extension of the suffrage as a chief article of its political creed, if not the chief and immediate object of its greatest exertions. The dispute is really between the aristocracy and the democracy, and if the Whigs will not go with the domocracy, they can no longer be the leaders of any part of the nation. In the speech which Mr. THOMP3ON made on Thursday evening, at the formation of the Young Mens' Anti-Bread Tax Society, the following passage occurs : " Out of more than 200 letters sent me in conseqnence of my connection with a great meeting held elsewhere— a meeting of the ministers of religion of all denomina tions, who have unanimously pledged themselves to co operate with you—one of the last letters out of the 200 was from a clergyman in Lancashire, who informed me that just before he had penned the letter he had visited thc hovel of a wretched family—that he saw there stretched upon the ground three human beings—a grand mother dead, whom they could not bury for want of the means • her daughter, who had been thr ee d a y s con fi ne d, but without nourishment ; and the infant to whom she had given birth starving by her side. Had not he stepped in the way they would all have perished from want. He told me that from his own observation he could attest the fact that that portion of our species that we would wish to hold most holy, most chaste, and most spotless, were fast abandoning themselves to the ways of vice, and giving themselves up as the victims of profligacy for a morsel of bread."—(Sensation.) We earnestly wish that we could command the attention of the law-makers to these few words. They describe people dying of hunger, and women prostituting themselves for bread. Supposing that idleness, dissoluteness, and even depravity, may have led to this con summation of misery, by what right do the Dukes of BUCKINGHAM and RICHMOND, by stopping the supply of food, aggravate these regretted characteristics of human nature, and sink the weak and the wicked into deeper want and deeper woe ? Right!—they have no right. They have the power, because the unthinking people, who, by obeying the starvation laws, are almost as wicked as the law makers, bestow it on them ; but their whole conduct, so far as the Corn-law is concerned, is a violation of all right. At length, however, that is now generally described as immoral and irreligious. The Corn-law is taken up as a religious and mo ral question; and the discussions on it are intro ducing new and more healthy principles nto legislation. We are afraid that counterparts to Mr. Tnomp soN's pictures must have been p resented to all those who come into contact with the lower classes. The unhappy circumstance of women prosti tuting themselves for bread is probably of fre quent occurrence. The streets of London at night, which we are compelled to traverse, abound with outcasts and objects piteously de manding charity. But what can the great Dukes, who never thread the streets on foot at night, and perhaps are never out of their own domains, or their own carriages, or their splendid drawing-room—what can they know of the poor multitude whom they reck lessly doom to short allowance of food—that great calamity of a shipwrecked crew—or to absolute starvation ? They make laws for the multitude, bat they know as little of them as of the Siberians. Shame! triple shame ! on the heartless sybarites, who, to 101 l a little more at their ease, inflict on women the dreadful cala mity of prostitution to get bread to eat. visip We have received the whole of the French Journals of Thursday. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the projected commercial treaty between Belgium and France, the real gist of which is, that if a market of 35 millions of consumers be opened to Belgium she will 1):2 required to secure a market for French produce free front foreign competition—or, in other words, that England must be shut out from all compe tition with France in the Belgian market. Bel gium produces iron, coal, linen, woollen, wool, horses, beeves, and skins; France—wines, brandy, silk, hosiery, clocks, watches, and all articles of household ornament. Now, France !produces iron , coal, and linen, as well as Belgium, though at a greater expense, so that at the very onset there is a rivalry of interests. In the new Treaty Belgium will be the chief gainer, for as she produces cheaply and in abundance many articles of prime consumption in France, and can, there fore, easily undersell the French producer in his own market ; so on the other hand, with the exception of wines and articles Of bfjouterie, in little demand among a people so inartificial as t 'ae Belgians, she pro duces newly every thing necessary for her own consumption. But as Belgium was the high road through which English manufactures found their way into France, the French Go vernment, finding that the frontier could not be protected, made overtures to King LEOPOLD to conclude the Treaty which is now pending. Whether Belgium will venture upon the course which France suggests with respect to England we are not prepared to say. That our Government will tamely suffer Belgium to bene fit France at our expense, without remonstrating against such unjust partiality, we are not in clined to believe. Were Lord PALMERSTON at the head of our foreign policy, we should be sure of proper protection being extended to the inter ests of British commerce. The offer made to Bel gium by France is very tempting. It amounts to this :—" Assist us in excluding England from a competition with our manufacturers, and you shall share the market with them. All that we now want from England which you can supply shall be purchased entirely from you." Belgium left to herself will hardly resist such a bribe. It is for the British Government to take care betimes that the interest of English traders are not wantonly sacrificed. A Toulon letter states, that the Diligente cor vette had been ordered to sail for Candia with dispatches from the French Government to the Consul there. The Semaphore, of Marseilles, states, that, on the 12th ult., as the the Tartan Vigneron, from Tunis, arrived off Cape Bi zerte, she was hailed by fifteen armed men in a large boat, one of whom came on board, and descending with the Captain to the ca bin, took away gold to the amount of 19,000 francs. The pirates then allowed the vessel to proceed. Now, considering that be sides the crew there were seventeen passengers on board, we cannot applaud the heroism of Captain MOURRUT who offered no resistance to the pirates. It was supposed that the Trident which had gone to meet the Triton and Marengo on their way from Algiers, with instructions for them to proceed to Mahon, would be on the look-out for the pirates. Notwithstanding the official contradiction there is in Paris a renewal of the rumour that a French vessel was detained for a fortnight by the Spanish authorities at Mahon, and that the French Government is now demanding ex planations in a tone of strong resentment. Some French ships of war are said to have sailed for that port. Rumours of disaffection in the French army have been for some time been prevalent. It now appears that the removal of the 66th regiment of the line from Paris was in consequence of a dis covery of a revolutionary plot, in which several of the officers were implicated. The Govern ment has had the good sense to make as little stir about this affair as possible. Pens, SEPT. 9.—The Muniteur of this morning has no official part. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of Commerce, and Finance, and .NI. Lehon, Ambassador of the King of the Belgians, have had conferences for some days past, relative to the Treaty of Commerce with Belgium. The Commissioners for that country are Count Menlemeare, lately Minister, and Messrs. Liedts and Deschamps, both Members of the Chamber of Representatives. The Commissioners on the part of Finance are Messrs. de Maisonneuve, Director of the Foreign Commerce, and Greterin, Director of the Customs. The negotiations will be carried on rapidly.. The question appears to be now clearly defined. If we may believe public report, .the suppression of the line of Custom-houses between the two countries is abandoned, or at least definitly ad journed, and the only thing to be determined is the mutual concessions to be made in respect to the impost duties imposed on the most important productions of the two countries.—Journal des I)ebats.

Sept. 5 STATE OF TRADE AT NOT TINGHAM.—We are sorry to say that there is no perceptible improve. ment in the hosiery trade ; many of the senior houses declining to make stock, employ their work-people only upon orders. This may be sound, but it is a very dis tressing policy to the artisan : it is generally practised upon the Continent, but has not been found by expe rience the way to .prosperity. The warp blonde trade is much in the same state it has been for some time past ; the question of the wages is not yet settled. The warp tatting trade is slowly improving, but the hands are suf fering great privations from inadequate wages. The bobbin-net trade, such as fancy tattings, is yet very dull, but plat nets are at fever height, particularly in Calais, the French machine owners being extremely active in seducing plat workmen from this vicinity. No less than five went last week. Their wages are 3/. per week. The agents state to the workmen that the English patentee has no controul in France over the manufacture of plat net, as the French manufacturers obtained their patents for making the manufacture three days before the English patentee obtained his French patent. How ever this may be, it is a great inducement, in conjunc tion with the high wages, for the workmen to emigrate. —Nottingham Review. I: seems that the Wiltshire Members have found favour in the eyes of Sir Robert Peel, and that they arc among the shining lights whom he delighteth to honor. Of course Lord Ernest Bruce's and Mr. Baring's seats are safe ; and we suppose the influence and gold of Mr. Neeld will make all right at Chippenham ; but whether the independent electors of South Wilts will suffer Mr. Herbert to walk over the course without opposition re mains to be seen.— Wiltshire Independent. A new mode of communication at sca, by a trumpet called the Telephonic, or far-sounding system, invented by M.

Lord Ponsonby was on the 18thult. preparing to leave Constantinople for England on a leave' of absence likely to extend to the term of his natural life. We shall be delighted to witness the return of his Excellency to his native land. He was mischievous at Pera, but he will be useful in a certain House of ill repute in Westminster. Had it not been for tlz.e restraint imposed upon Lord Ponsonby by Lord Palmerston, England. and France would by this time have had a sad story to tell. A French vessel which left. Tunis on the 10th ult. was robbed by pirates, off Cape Bizerta, of 19,000 fr. in gold. There were 15 pirates in a boat; but only one boarded and robbed the vessel, which had on board, besides the crew, 17 passengers 1 The Journal des Debats of Thursday admits - that the object of the Commercial Treaty with Belgium is to exclude British manufactures from the Belgian market, which is only to be open to France. France, ou her side, offers an exclusive market for the staple produce of Bel gium. John Bull will not patiently stand this. AL re gards him, it is a specimen of Irish reciprocity—all on the one side. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times, in an article whose object is to contrast the unanimity that exists among the Tories, with the differences that exist among the Liberals, makes the fol lowing remarks :—" There is every probability that the sections of Liberalism of which Mr. O'Connel, Mr. Roe buck, and Mr. Cobden are representatives, Mill act pretty uniformily together ; and it will in no degree surprise us, if their united' forces should be found to out-number those of the Whigs, properly so called. Thus there will be virtually three parties in the present Parliament : Her Majesty's Ministers, with their supporters ; her Majesty's Opposition ; and her Majesty's Opposition's Opposition. The probable termination of this state of things will be, the dethronement of Lord John Russell from the office (:of leader ; and, in such an event, we might possibly have to congratulate the Conservatives upon the accession to their ranks of that personally re spectable, and every way well-meaning Nobleman."— The Radical party will only draw off from the Whigs, in the event of the latter failing to discharge their duties promptly and vigorously as an Opposition. At present, we see no cause to doubt that they will be true to their principles ; but should they play false, and make gradual advances to the Tories—and stranger things than this have happened !—the last, desperate struggle will then commence between the privileged and unprivileged classes; between the combined Whigs and Tories, backed by the whole weight of the House of Lords, on the one hand; and the vast majority of the oppressed and unre presented people, on the other ! The struggle will be long and severe ; the Few will exert every energy they possess ; but the victory will be with the Many. The Post is still harping on the late Byng dinner at Brentford, which seems to have greatly disquieted its nerves. In particular; it is quite enraged with the Hon. Member for Middlesex, for presuming to assert that we are " now living under an aristocracy." Our Contem porary's evident soreness on this point, is another illus tration of the old adage, that " naked Truth is exceed ingly unlovely." We are " living under an aristocracy;" and the proof of this may be found in the fact that the present Government possesses the entire confidence and sympathies of the House of Lords—which same House has invariably set its face against, and mutilated where it could not wholly destroy, every really liberal measure brought forward by the Whigs for the last ten or twelve years. . _ The Advertiser, remarking on the prospects of the new Cabinet, and Sir R. Peel's position, says :—" With a Cabinet constituted as we have shown the Cabinet to be, it were impossible, even did he possess the disposition, for Sir Robert Peel to conduct the affairs of the country on liberal and enlightened principles. Lyndhurst. Stan ley, Buckingham, and Graham, are not made of pliable stuff. They will not obey his high behests, should he happen on any occasion to assume the tone and attitude of a dictator, when under the inspiration of one of those fits of expediency with which he has, in former years, been sometimes seized. They have too high an opinion of themselves to acquie3ce in any course of policy which does not quadrate with their despotic notions of the fitness of things. Instead of being his slaves, the new Premier will speedily discover that he is much more likely to be placed in a position of bondage to them."—Sir Robert Peel, we suspect, has discovered this already. He has been compelled, much against his inclination, to take the Duke of Buckingham into the Cabinet; and to throw poor Lord Londonderry over board, because Lord Stanley objected to him. The new Premier may boast, as he pleases, of his independence, but he wears a fetter on every limb. He is the mere puppet of the aristocracy, who pull the strings that set him in motion. The Chronicle predicts the failure of the Peel Go vernment in Ireland, observing :—A moderate Tory Go vernment in Ireland, we repeat for the thousandth time, is a political impossibility. You may try the experi ment which has been tried before, and send to Ireland a man of courtly manners and splendid fortune, and he will succeed, as did the Duke of Northumberland, in winning popularity, in a gay, though impoverished ca pital. His liberal expenditure and his more liberal charities suffice for that. And if he only abstain from administering his political functions, he may pass with out discredit through his viceroyalty. But the Secretary of a Tory Government in Ireland has no such option." —A tame system of temporizing and expediency may do well enough in a season of halcyon calmness ; but when party spirit runs high—as it does just now in Ireland— it is a sheer humbug—the last resource of conscious, hopeless incapacity. Sir R. Peel's attempt to trim be tween the two great Irish sections of Orangeman and Liberal, will be—as it deserves to be—a miserable failure. Let him side' either with the one or the other ; but not stand halting between two bundles of hay. The Orange men have, we conceive, strong claims on his gratitude, which he ought not to overlook. They have aided him in all his efforts to force himself into power; and now that he has actually succeeded in breaking into the Trea sury, it is but just that he should allow them a handsome portion of the plunder. When a burglary is committed, all parties engaged have a right to share in the swag. The Herald observes:—" Parliament will not, and must not legislate on the Corn-laws during this continuance of feverish excitement, which is altogether opposed to rea son and moderation. If it be absolutely necessary to the relief of existing distress, temporary appliances must be resorted to ; but no permanent legislation on this ob ject, which exceeds all others in importance, must be had recourse to until times of greater quiet and less cla mour. The Parliament of 1815 passed the original Corn law in defiance of brick bats, bludgeons, riots, and pub lic disorders ; the Parliaments of 1841 and 1842 must be equally impervious to sin ilarWhig-Radicalinfl uen ce s ."— This notion of our Contemporary, t h at a gr i evance is not to be removed while the people are in a state of "feverish excitement" about it, is too palpably absurd to ' demand any lengthened exposure. Pray when is an evil to be redressed, if not when a country is smarting under it ? The grievance that occasions no "feverish excite ment" is one that it is scarcely worth while to remedy. The Inverness Courier makes the following remarks in reference to the new Ministry :—" One feature in the Ministry will give general satisfaction, the absenceof that extreme party, so hostile to Ireland, of which Lords Roden and Winchelsea, and Sir Robert Inglis, may be considered the represenzatives. Not a single Orange man appears to have found favour with the Premier. Mr. Goulburn is rather of the • old - exclusive cast, but he is not so eaten up with bigot zeal as to threaten an explosion in the Cabinet. The new Irish Secretary, Lord Eliot, is highly spoken of for his generous and conciliatory character, and, according to the Examiner, there could not have been picked out of the Tory party a successor of opposite politics to Lord Morpeth so like him in all his urbane and kindly qualities.' Lord Ripon can scarcely be considered an acquisition to any Ministry. The lustre of Prosperity Robinson' has long since left him, and there is a nervous timidity and sensitiveness about him in public, which age has much increased, and which must ever prevent him from being a useful or powerful debater." The Leicester Mercury gives the following advice to the Liberals as respects the new Poor-law :—" The Li beral party have suffered much, unjustly, through the Poor-law. Let them now, as we have before recom mended, vigorously agitate for the removal of the whole Board of Commissioners ; with the removal of whatever is harsh from the Poor-law ; and, though they will find the hollow Tories against them the masses will be with them." The Western Times states that there is little hope of Corn-law reform from the present Ministry, observing:— Though some people affect to believe that Sir Robert Peel, because he sold the landlords on the Catholic question, will b e t ray and sell them again on the Corn question —yet that i s i mpossible in the present case, f or they have fastened hi m down too tightly to allow him to wriggle down th e s lidi ng scale to any extent mischievous to their suppos e d i nterests. The Duke of Rich m ond said that the landlords had made Sir Robert Peel Minister, and the same power would unmake him if necessary. The Duke of B uc ki ng h am and Sir E. K na tchbull, two of the strongest supp or t ers of th e C orn -l a w, and the Earl of Ripon, the author of it, are all members of the Cabinet. How hen can th ose who look to a reform of the Corn law for an improvement of our commercial affairs, ex pect to receive that reform at the hands of the Peel Cabinet." The Dublin Evening Post entitles the present Cabinet, an Aristocratic one, and adds We do not like Re publicanism—far from it ;we like American Demo cracy still less ; but, we confess, of all the forms of Go vernment ever invented by the wit or the malice of in an, we detest an Oligarchy th e most. But what signifies our hatred. The people of England. we arc told, are mad with delight, and the People of England will have their fling. Oh ! they are a fine people and a proud—pity it is likely they are about to be a starving people. What of that ? Have they not a Cabinet of Lords?"

Yesterday a detachment of the 60th Royal Rifles marched into Deptford from Windsor, and a detachment of the 15th Regiment joined head-quarters at Woolwich. On Tuesday Major Lewis's troop of horse artillery ar rived at Woolwich from Dublin. On Thursday the Ist division of the 99th Regiment marched for Chatham. LAW AND POLICE. Captain Atherton, master of the brig Cessnock, from Barbadoes, was charged at the Thames Police, with as saulting John Johnson, seamen, on the high seas. The prisoner, upon disobedience of orders, was struck by the Captain with a rope, and subsequently with his fist. The Magistrate decided that it was a proper question for a Jury. The defendant was ordered to enter into his own recognizances for 50/. to answer any indictment that might be preferred against him at the Sessions. Owing to the insufficiency of his bail, Mr. Bankes was again apprehended yesterday, but Mr. John Smith, tailor, of Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, supplied sa tisfactory recognizances, in the place of Mr. Sneezum, jun. This gentleman's uncle again appeared to contradict his nephew's statements, but the Magistrate refused to enter into their private affairs. - - iLECTXONIMMIZING. Sir James Graham, immediately on bring Gazetted as a member of the Administration, forwarded an address to his Dorchester constituents, confirming his resolution to stand by the items of his list political creed. On Thursday last a meeting of St. Martin's-in-the- Fields' Registration Society was held in Leicester square, to receive the objections and claims that had been made to the overseers. It appeared that there were about 100 objections, the greater portion being by the Reformers. Among the electors objected to on the part of the Tories was Viscount Novick. The Tory eldctors of Tamworth sent up an address to Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday last, stating that, as his time must be fully occupied at this eventful crisis, they hope to have the honour of returning him again as their Representative, without subjecting him to the inconve nience of a personal canvass at the hustings. No answer has been yet received. SPOIZTING. The Doncaster Raees ;lal,Tsifendid this year, and the meeting very numerous. Dress-balls will take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Mansion-house, with fireworks. On Monday last, in consequence of the heavy rains that had fallen, two lads of Perth captured 300 pairs of rabbits by this simple plan. Being well acquainted with the rabbit burrows about the Earn, and watching the gra dual rise of the river, when it was within a few inches of the "hole," they, with a small spade, dug a channel fur the water to flow into it, which immediately ejected the inmates, who were smartly captured on attempting to make their escape. A cart - conveyed the whole to Perth, where at an average they were sold for fully 4d. a pair. COUnT-INISEIONASLE. The Duke of Cambridge visited the Exhibition of Works of Art yesterday, at the Suffolk-street Gallery. Viscount Melbourne left South-street yesterday, for Woburn Abbey. The Marquis of Abercorn arrived last week at his seat in the Highlands. The Earl of Lonsdale has gone to Lowther Castle, Westmoreland. Lord and Lady Maryborough leave town early in the ensuing week, for Deal C as tl e , K ent . Earl De Grey leaves town on Monday next, to take possession of his Viceroyalty. • Sir James Graham left town on Thursday for Dor chester. The Earl of Malmesbury died yesterday morning at Earl 1)e Grey's villa on Putney Heath, after an illness of several months. TiIiSCELLANEOUS. To-morrow (Sunday) is the anniversary of the rescue by the Poles, with King John Sobieski at their head, of Vienna from the Turks, by which the Mussulman power was annihilated in Christendom. This event used to be commemorated annually for the space of 100 years. The report of the death of Mr. Davidge, of the Surrey Theatre, is contradicted on the best authority—that of Mr. Davidge himself. At Foidington, a small village near Dorchester, twenty-five houses were burned down on Thursday last, at one o'clock in the day. Some thousand pounds' worth of property were destroyed, and upwards of forty five families rendered homeless. At an adjourned vestry meeting, held at the Town hall, Brighton, on the subject of church-rates, it ap peared that a rate of three-pence in the pound had been collected, amounting to nearly 1,7001., and that up wards of 1,0001. of that amount ought to be accounted for by the churchwardens, as they had illegally ex pended it in adorning St. Peter's Church, that edifice being erected under the Church-building Act, which does not allow of the expenditure of church-rates for such purpose. It was agreed not to pass the church warden's account, and to resist any future church-rata till the amount was accounted for. The meeting was adjourned for two months.

Brazils and Egyptians continue to be very heavy of sale. In Surats no change can be quoted. Sea Islands are the same 'as last week. 500 American have been taken on speculation ; and 1,250 American, and 150 East India, for exportation.

The notorious case of the German vessel, Louise, has been adjudicated upon at Hamburgh, the decision being in favor of the owners, viz.. that she was not engaged in the slave trade, and that conse quently the British sloop-of-war Grecian, by which she was captured, is not entitled to receive her as a prize. At the same time, however, the commander of the Grecian is exonerated from all blame.

DEATH OF IGNACE DE SEYFRIED.-A letter from Vienna, the 28th ult., says :—" The Chevalier Ignace de Seyfried, one of the most fertile and celebrated German writers on the theory of music, died yesterday. He was the author of more than two hundred composi tions of vocal music, amongst which are nine operas and five oratorios. A singular circumstance characterised his death. Being attacked with illness on the 26th, he fore saw that his end was near, and prepared an article for the Vienna journals, announcing that he had died on the 27th, and leaving only a blank for the hour of his death. In the evening of the 26th he sent for two of his friends, M. Littermayer, director of the Imperial singing-school, and M. Harleyn, the musical publisher, and gave to them a parcel, with a request th at i t m i ght not b e opene d until after his decease. This parcel, which was opened this morning, contained the MS. of a funeral mass, and a note, stating that this work, composed in 1835, was to be performed at the funeral of the author." . THE MARKETS-THIS DAY. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL. There was a good supply of meat, but owing to the favour able change of the weather, the demand was dull, and prices badly supported.

THE IlAnvEgT.—For five days (the 3d to the 7th) we had torrents of rain, and great fears were entertained for the loose corn, many fields being flooded, the oats actually washed on the hedges ; the last three days have been very fine, the barometer which was 29.28 on Mon day, has risen to 29.75, and great quantities of barley, cats, and clover are being carried. The wet days being cold, the corn has not received so much injury as was expected. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) A very respectable looking young man, named James Porekam, was placed at the bar before Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL, on the charge of annoying Mr. Henry John Stone, a chemist and druggist, carrying on business in Paternoster-row. A Solicitor, who attended on behalf of the complain ant, said, that a gentleman named Manley had formerly been a partner of Mr. Stone's, but his connection with the business had entirely ceased upwards of eight years ago. The prisoner came this morning and said that Mr. Manley had executed a power of attorney in his favour, whereby he became entitled to enter into the position which Mr. Manley formerly occupied, as a partner. After some conversation between the complainant and the pri soner, the latter was given into custody. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—I do not think it proper to have Mr. Poreham placed at the felons' bar ; .let him be removed immediately. The defendant then took his position at the table, and said he considered that he had a right to be on Mr. Stone's premises under the circumstances on which the charge was grounded, as the document alluded to by the complainant's solicitor was a legal and valid one. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said he considered it was a matter that could Lest be arranged by a private re ference. After some conversation, the solicitors, who attended on both sides for the parties, acceded to the suggestion and retired. A decent-looking man, named John Green, was charged on suspicion of stealing two nests' tongues. It having been proved that the prisoner svas innocent, he stated that he dealt in the articles named, and had walked upwards of thirty miles round the suburbs of the metropolis to sell them, during the course of the day, and when locked up in the station-house, although he offered 6d. or ls. to any one who would tell his family where he was, he was refused ; neither would the In spector on duty allow any refreshment to be brought to him. In reply to Sir C. Marshall, an officer said the regula tions at the station-house prohibited any refreshment from being brought to the prisoners. The worthy Alderman said this was monstrous. In the present instance here was a poor man who had been toiling all day to earn an honest livelihood, locked up for 12 or 14 hours without food ; and after all this he was found to be innocent. He (Sir C. Marshall) should exert himself as much as possible to do away with such a stringent order as this. Sir CHAPMAN then handed the poor fellow half-a crown, who left the bar after thanking the worthy Al derman for his kindness and consideration. PARLIAMENT and t h e CORN LAWS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MANCHESTER, SEPT. 10.—The subjoined requisition to our Mayor has been signed by upwards of 1,000 of our respectable firms in a few hours to-day, and the public town's meeting will be held on Thursday. Surely similar demonstrations ought to be called for from all parts of the kingdom. (Copy.) TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR. W?, the undersigned, respectfully request you to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Manchester, for the purpose of considering the present distressed state of the population of this town and neigh. bourhood, and the alarming prospects of the approaching winter, and the propriety of memorializing the Queen, praying her Majesty not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament until they have entered upon a full consider ation of the Corn and Provision Laws, which, in the opinion of the requsitionists, are the main causes of the existing sufferings of the people. SPLENDID PEACH. --_A specimen of the Mil lett's Mignonne Peach, was brought to our office on Sa turday last, newly gathered from a fine tree in•the gar den of W. Unett, Esq., of Vernwood, in this county. This peach measured nearly a foot in girth, and weighed nearly eleven ounces !

This morning (Saturday), between the hours of ane and two o'clock, a fearful accident, attended with cireutr: - ! stances of an extraordinary nature, occurred on the river near Southwark-bridge, by which four persons lost their lives. It appears that the Orion, a large iron steamer which runs between London and Ipswich, and the Pearl, a Gravesend steamer, were moored near Southwark bridge yesterday evening, after discharging their pas sengers, and soon afterwards several persons be- ~ longing to both vesse l s went ashore to spend the Al evening at the George public-house, Bankside, and play at skittles. They were accompanied by ti person named John Clementson, residing at No. 2, Eagle-street, Ipswich, who possesses an indepen dent income of about 2001. a year, and was in the habit of voyaging between London and Ipswich for the benefit of his health. Clementson, who was the cause of the loss of life which subsequently took place, appeared in 9. very low and desponding state, and told his friends i" acquaint a female at Ipswich, when they returned, t'.lo she would never see_ Robert any morn. At. u. late r hour he procured some laudanum, and swallowed s small quantity of the drug, which his comp A cioo s prevented taking effect by giving him emetics, b ran dy, and other liquids. At half-past one o'clock Clementson and six others, four of whom belonged to the Pear l ' and two to the Orion, proceeded to Bankside st a i r s; op posite the Welch Trooper public-house, where the Pearl's boat was lying, for the purpose of returning t", their vessels. Clementso.3 got into the boat whi c h pushed off, but they had not proceeded,more than 10 or 12 yards- before Clementson rose from his seat and deliberately" jumped overboard into the water. The other men im mediately got up at once, and leant over the boat, when the sudden lurch capsized it, and they were all thrown into the river. The tide carried them towards the bridge ; their struggles were short, and they all perished. The poor fellows on shore saw them drowning, and could afford no assistance. There was no boat at the stairs, and it was some time before any aid could be procured. In about twenty minutes afterwards a boat was lowered, and the drags used. The body of Clementson was picked up and taken to the Welch Trooper public house to await the Coroner's in quest. The bodies of the other unfortunate men have, not been recover e d. Th e i r names are John Oxley an d Joseph Taunton of the Pearl, and Robert Clarkson of the Orion. The boat was subsequently found bottom up wards off Horselydown. REPEAL OF THE UNION. MR. O'CONNOR AND DR. COOKE. TO THE REV. DR. COOKE, BELFAST. REVEREND SlR,—Having learned, during my incar ceration in York Castle, that Mr. O'Connell declined your challenge to discuss the merits of the Repeal of the Union, and fearing that more importance than was fair has been attached to his refusal, and knowing that a handle has been made of it to the prejudice of the ques tion, and being in my heart a sincere advocate of the mea sure, I do hereby invite you to a free discussion on the subject at Belfast, or at any other place which may better suit your taste or convenience. Your acknowledged high character leads me to believe that your sole object in challenging Mr. O'Connell was prompted by a desire to arrive at just conclusions after fair argument. In order to accomplish so desirable a purpose, I have held myself disengaged for the first week of October, the four firsts days of which I submit to your judgment as the time for entertaining the subject. All arrangements shall be left' to you, as to the hour of meeting, the order of speaking., f and the time fo r a dj ournment. I merely require free a( t" mission, the doers to be open one hour previous to CO Chair being taken, the discussion to take place in - ;,hg largest room that can be procured, that you appoint ono Chairman, I another, and these two gentlethen s elect an umpire, to whose judgment and final decision all dis puted points shall be referred. The following pi:oposi tion to be submitted, of which I undertake to prove affirmative—" That the Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland would, above any other measure, tend to increase the wealth and develope' the hitherto neglected resources of the latter country that to a native Legislature alone can the Irish people 100 1 ; with certainty for domestic peace, and with confidencl ° for national aggrandizement and social improvement. jca it we would recognise the only just and certain mew.' ° checking absenteeism, of improving morals, of ad va " ( agriculture, of dispensing education, of prpt.cting tr ade, and of eiglhperpetuatingioum., a real bond of connection Wit ' a Our English neighbours." I have the honour, Reverend Sir, to remain, Your obedient, humble servairt, FEARGUS O'CONNOR. London, September, 11, 1841. TAM WORTH ELECTION, TAMWORTH, EIGHT O'CLOCK, FRIDAY EVENING.

LONGEVITY.—A poor Woman, named Mary Chandler, upwards of 101 years of age, having been born on the 3d of August, 1740, was admitted yesterday into the union workhouse at Lewes. She had been in the habit of walking from Lewes to Brighton and back, a distance of sixteen miles, generally once a week, and on Tuesday last walked over to see her friends at Brighton previous to going into the house. The poor creature, who seemed to feel very much her situation, said it was a hard thing to be compelled to go into the workhouse at her great age. jign•••• S Sweep Mr. C Mr. Si Mr.IK Har Mr. C Air.
