Chronicle . d oes not If the 2 d r oP hi "g the bearings of its own remarks, which seems n probable, - t he p raise of the Standard may perhaps i n to its mind, and awaken a convictio n that pen etrate: that it is serviirr the cause of our opponents, p a ny rate, the Liberals have no reason to prai se its remarks on the Church. A few days ago it ecclesiastical cur ower, se of the extent of which is at pr England. It influe nces - all its policy, even its comme rcial policy, keeping; down manufac tures, and checking the increase of trade, be cause the new town popula tion arc as little fa vourable to the dominion of the priesthood as they are to the dominion of the landlords. It arrests in every quarter the march of Liberal legislation, and perpetually tries to rivet, by its so-called Divine authority, the fetters of the people. Vet the Chronicle, adopting the routine cant which is prevalent even in Liberal quarters, yesterday expressed its joy that earnestness and activity are displayed by all Churches, meaning by all Churches every priest hood. Their end and aim is to get and keep domi minion, and a Journal which rejoices in their ear nestness and activity must either he ignorant of the bearings of its own words, or it plays time hypocrite in p re t e nding to love freedom. the activity of the Church of England, which the Chronicle records, must, on its own princi ples, give it great contentment, and its well-ex pressed approbation will . • stimulate exertion. What does it say t o the activity and earnestness displayed at Shrewsbury by Dr. KENNEDY, speaking, no • doubt, the sentiments of the Church ? What will • the Dissenting friends of the Chronicle at Leicester say of its commenda • .tion of 'Church e ar - 6 ti _ o nestneL•s and activity, and Church deteiw exhibited at the close of t lo i E l exact Church-rates, as following passage : Th© Church was wh a t he believedc: power of the Constitution. to be the sustaining Our moral strength, nay, our very life's blood as a nation depended upon it; and e what duty, then, could rest more solemnly, more per manently on the English Minister than the duty of de fending the Church, and preserving not onl y her. anc ie nt . rights and privileges, but also supplyi n g her deficienc ies and increasing her resources, and making it coextensive with the increasing wants of the people?—(Cheers.) That was what a British Minister would do if he under stood his duty to the Church, to the monarchy, to the Constitution, to the poor.—(Much cheering.) He would not consent to alienate the already sca nty revenues of that Church from ecclesiastical reception. He would not deprive that Church of her most sacred and essential right of superintending the national education. They were told that the Church could not be the true Church of Christ if it required support from the State. With the true Church of Christ its Divine head would remain even to the end of the world, and against it the gates of hell should not prevail. But what promise was there that the ark of Christ should abide for ever within our island ? They had no promise that infidel ascen dancy should never prevail amongst them, or that the throne of Satan should never be set in this kingdom. Was there not, then, reason that the national altar should be defended and supported, and that the struggle for that purpose should be a determined one ? It was com plained that people ought not to be taxed for a Church to which they did not belong. However, he (Dr. Ken nedy) believed that to be the great political heresy of the day. He believed that to be the grand Anti-Conser vative principle, and if concession were made to that principle, then farewell to the Church of England ; fare well to the national name and national happiness. Believing that the growth of ecclesiastical power, accompanied. as it is with much legal ex tortion and many appeals to supernatural terror, is dangerous to the peace and well-being of so ciety, because it is opposed to the progress of knowledge, we deplore and condemn that earnest ness and activity in every priesthood which our Contemporary rejoices to behold. To what it tends, and at what it aims, may be inferred from a discourse lately delivered by the Rev. Mr. CLOSE to the Members of the Church of England Tradesmen and Workmens' Asso ciation at Cheltenham, in which he asserted that " the mind of man is the great fountain of sin, and the curse of the human race." " There is no human knowledge which is not the basis of all wickedness." It is well known to the profane, and acutely felt by the priesthood, that their ex istence and the progress of knowledge are incom patible; and, therefore, like the Reverend Mr. CLOSE, they teach that knowledge is the basis of wickedness, and the mind of man the great fountain of sin. Of course the doc trine is supremely false, for sin and wickedness have faded away as knowledge has advanced, as the mind has been opened and expanded, and has poured forth more of the treasures of observation. But the priesthood claim to be the chosen depositaries of a peculiar saving grace ; and to ensure the belief in their own power, they must preach that the mind is the great curse of the human race, and knowledge the basis of all wickedness. What a doctrine for the country men of NEWTON and WATT to adopt ! The earnestness and activity of the clergymen in preaching such doctrine rejoices the Morning Chronicle; and it must therefbre be incumbent on all Liberals, and particularly on all good Whigs, to aid the Church in trampling know ledge out of existence, and sealing up the " foun-. taro of sin" in darkness and night for ever. One of the faults of the Whigs when in office was that they kept their plans secret till they brought them forward in Parliament; and there fore they very often failed to secure public sup port for propositions which timely discussion would probably have made universally accept able. While they were in office we censured that course, and we advocated the principle of discussing measures by the public before they were presented. to Parliament tq bE.. ratified. The justification of such a course is obvious. The measures are intended for the public benefit; and in this country, to make them efficacious they must be supported ; and indeed they can only be carried into effect by public opi- nion. To secure that support, it is not sufficient that the measures have the appro bation of Parliament, they ought also to be discussed and approved of by the public. That is the doctrine of every free Government, and the doctrine of common sense. It was the original practice, too, for all great measures were originally debated in numerous assemblies of the 1 - 2, - eople, and the representative system, howfrier convenient, is only an approach to des- Tv3tism, if the representatives are finally to de , cide, exclusive of the people. But if such a course were reprehensible in the Whigs, what are we to say to the Tories? The country is in a state of deep distress; the finances are dilapidated; the measures which were suggested to relieve commerce and re- plenish the public coffers, were unceremoniously rejected without examination; the Tories have been upwards of two months in possession of the Government, and they disdain even to hint, with anything like authority, at the measures to which public attention ought to be directed. Go on with the present system of commercial regulations, the present system of taxation, and the present scale of expenditure, the country cannot. Sir R. PEEL and his faction have said that the commercial regulations shall not be altered in any beneficial sense; and the public, which does not confide exclusively in him, has a right to know at least something of the principles on which he means to act. The nation looks with anxiety to the future ; and it is treating the people too much like slaves, to give them no in-. formation as to what their rulers mean to propose. Sir R. PEEL will not be persuaded, by those of Lis colleagues who were parties to bringing in the Reform Bill, to lay a measure on the table of Parliament, which will take away the breath of the Liberals with delight, and he would do well, therefore, to secure the co-operation of the public for that plan he is to stake his reputation on, by divulging, as speedily as possible, its lead ing features. Such a course would not diminish the confi dence of his own friends, and it might secure the support of some Liberals. If, for example, he contemplates a comprehensive plan of emi gration, we can promise him the zealous co-ope ration of a great number of the journals that arc theoretically Liberal. They would prepare the people to enter heartily into such a plan; and Sir ROBERT would find, by the time he brought it forward, that it might be carried with ease. In this country it is less the business of a Mi nister to carry measures in spite of his opponents, than with their reluctant and sulky admission that his measures are useful. While the public are insulted, therefore, by such a marked and studious concealment of projects, which are to affecty d vo their ul dearest interests, the Ministers lose, by their s ecresy, the advantages of that support he be sure to receive for honest and wise measures. If it be intended, indeed, to give the public no time for deliberation, though the Ministers have taken so much for themselves ; and if it be expected that, by thrusting off all knowledge of the Ministers' projects till the very last moment, they must be carried, whatever they may be, because longer delay will be impossible, such a cunning cotrivance will be felt as a studied insult, and will irritate even those who, like Mr. WAKLEY, are uro-ent to give Sir ROBERT PEEL a fair trial, and make them his determined foes. We repeat, in con clusion, that measures intended to benefit the public, and of which the public must be the ulti mate judges, cannot be too soon laid before them. We learn with pleasure from a Correspondent at Leeds, that the Parliamentary Reform Asso ciation in that town has formed a library and a news-room, we ll s upplied with periodical litera ture, and proposes to have lectures delivered o n political subjects in the course of the winter. The beginning was made by Mr. HAMER STANS FELD on yesterday week, who spoke on machi nery and monopoly - . His lecture has been printed. Other gentlemen will deliver lectures on some similar subjects, and it is to be hoped that by such exertions great progress will be made in extending sound political knowledge. %Ye ugree with our Correspondent, that, at (110 present time, associations for the diffusion of such knowledge are probably the best and the quickest—we are sure they are the safest—means of advancing practical reform. In the present that a woman who has been condemned to bard labour for life, for murder and theft, the too celebrated Ma dame Lafarge, has been removed in a post carriage to the prison in which she is to undergo her punishment, :Ind conceal for ever her infamy. We must confess that, supposing the news in both cases to be correct, the con trast is intolerable, and a flagrant outrage upon public justice. We are not amongst those who, from the moment that an offence becomes political, are transition condition of society no classes seem uni- ted in opinion, no great parties steadily pursue one object, no persons are completely dogmatic in up holding any system, except the parsons and the Tories, who are unflinching and unswerving, be cause they pursue their individual interests. All Reformers seek, or pretend to seek, the public good ; it is only by doing that, and keeping their own interests in the ba.ck-ground, that they can obtain support ; and opinions are so extremely various as to the means of achieving the public good, that the combined exertions of many per sons to attain any one object connected with it is ready to absolve the offender. On tile contrary, we think it perfectly just that they who attack society by force, or by preaching seditious doctrines, should be severely punished. We do not, because we belong to the press, excuse its excesses ; we do not ask for favour on its behalf ; we demand only justice. If the responsible editors of the Toulouse Journals should be found guilty of the crime of 'which they are ac cused, we will not complain of their condemnation ; but up to this moment they are merely under accusation, and yet they are said tohave "undergone the punishment of being dragged along, 11,'„der the eyes of the whole po pulation, as so many malef a ct ors , to the spot where • scarcely to be hoped for. What, for example, can be clearer than that a law prohibiting the growth of flood and the exer cise of honest industry, is a cursed and impious law, which ought to rouse the burning indigna tion of a starving and a half employed people? Yet so vast is the public good, and so numerous its ramifications,that we find many amongst the suffer ing people apprehensive that the abolition of this law may damage the public, and they make common cause with their oppressors. A winter, which promises to be severe, is begun ; thou sands in the manufacturing districts are exposed to hunger and starvation, because that law has not been repealed ; and they are indebted for their terrible sufferings, after the avarice of the landlords, to the mistaken belief of theit .fellow-labourers, the Chartists, that the public good, to an unexampled degree, would not be directly and permanently promoted by the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws. But for that unfortunate belief they would have united with the middle classes, and have compelled the avaricious aristocracy, and the domineering priesthood, to obey their demands, and the demands of justice. _ _ j usticeis to prownuice as to their guilt or innocence, whilst consideration and indulgence were reserved for a murderv: d . Again, we say that we demand no favour for t i e press, but let us not have the preference of seve rity. As regards persons merely under accusation, all the right possessed by the Executive is the security of their persons, and the accused of ' Toulouse would, in a carriage, have been equally, and, indeed, more secure than they were, chained and. exposed as they are said to have been. We sincerely hope, however, that the state ment which has given rise to these reflections may turn out to be unfounded." The trial before the Correctional Tribunal, of the par ties connected in the publication of the journal called the Humanttaire, in Which were involved questions of illicit association and detention of arms and ammunition, cora- menced on Wednesday, and terminated yesterday, when all the accnsed, except one, were found guilty, and sen tenced to imprisonment for various terms from two years to three months.—The bebats states that, as the pri soners were being conducted back from the Court to the Conciergerie, one of them, named Sauvaitre, escaped from the guards, and got clear off, by means of the crowd. We learn through Vienna that the town of Koniorn, on the island of Schutt, in Hungary, at the confluence of the Wang and the Danube, was at the end of last month visited by an earthquake, which shook down all the timber-houses, and severely damaged other build ings. In consequence of this disaster upwards of 5,000 people are said to be ruined, and left without shelter. I The general loss is estimated at an immense' amount. Ms Excellency Lord Cowley received visits on Friday from Guizot, Marshal Soult, and the Sardinian Mi nister. The Countess de Flabault, and a great number of English residents of distinction, haVe called on Lord and Lady Cowley. Advices from Leghorn of the sth instant, in the Mar seilles papers, state that the Grand. Duke of Tuscany was about to proceed immediately to Naples, with his family, for the benefit of the health of his youngest daughter, who is feared to be in the same condition as her elder sister, who died last month. A steamer was ordered to be in readiness for this purpose by the 10th.—A violent hurricane had been experienced in the Day of Naples on the 30th ult., during which the , Mongibelio steamer had run foul of a Tuscan, steamer, the Marie Antoinette, and had cP::,sed her much damage. The Neapolitan ship of war, Copri, had been driven from her anchors, and had greatly injured several merchant vessels in the port. Among these an English vessel, laden with sugar, indigo, and other goods, had been sunk. — An ex tensive fire d occurred at Leghorn on the night of the 4th, in a furniture warehouse, .and had caused much damage. A letter from Berlin, in the Augsburgh Gazette,'sta,tes that the suppression of the conspiracy in Belgium has been witnessed with much pleasure in the Prussian capital. At the period of the Belgian revolution, a re storation of the House of Orange at Brussels was much desired in Prussia ; but now, this letter adds, it is con ceived that the independence of Belgium is closely con nected with the prosperity of Prussia. "We are con vinced," says the writer, " that if the Belgian conspiracy had momentarily succeeded, the Prussian Government would have acted with more energy than even that of France to cause the treaty of London to be respected." In consequence of the removal of the slaughter-house for horses from Montfaucon to the PiaMe des Vertus, near Aubervilliers, the colony of rats, whose enormous number was well known, no longer finding food for their support, have emigrated to Belleville, La Petite-Villette, and the Faubourgs du Temple, and Saint Martin, where they are said to have committed great ravages. It is even supposed that they have penetrated by the sewers to the markets in the centre of Paris, and to the Halle-au-Bleu. Some days ago, a young orphan girl, driven to dis traction by want, threw herself into the river from the Pont d'Arcole, but the cries which nature induced her to utter, when 'she felt her life in actual danger, attracted the attention of two gentlemen - in the office of the Secre tary of the Prince Royal, who happened to be passing at the time, and by their personal exertions they succeeded in saving her. One of them, Id. Chamonard, being a marrieeman, without children, havir ' r ascertained that her character was irreproachable, has adopted the unfor tunate girl. The Duchess of Orleans sent her 100 f. on being informed of this circumstance. A young man, and a woman, with whom he was living, were, two evenings ago, walking along the Rue Saint- Honore, when a dispute arose between them, and the female became so excited that she drew a knife from her pocket, stabbed herself to the heart, and fell dead in stantly. The young man, in his alarm, fled, and left her on the ground. She was taken to the Morgue, where she was soon afterwards claimed and given up to her friends. The Sentinelle de la Marine, published at Toulon, has the following news in its number of the 9th : " The Montebello, three-decker, has been dismasted. "We expect, from Brest, two frigates, with 600 sail ors, for the ships of the Mediterranean squadron. " It is asserted that the Minerva frigate, which is not yet out of quarantine, has received orders to be in readi ness to put to sea. The destination of the vessel is not known. The Embuseade and the Roussoll corvettes are still in the roads. It is said that these two vessels, which are destined for distant service, will soon be ready to put to sea. " The Indromede frigate has received orders to be ready to depart at the same time as the Genereux and La Ville de Marseille of the line. We arc assured that ,hese vessels are going to take troops on board to convey hem to Africa." BOURSE--PARIS, SATURDAY, Nov. 13. It is only by gathering knowledge, and bring ing it to bear on such questions, repeating the lesson day after day, and week after week, that important political truths become incorporated with mares moral being, and, in the end, produce a combined and irresistible action. We rejoice, •then, that the Reformers of Leeds have made the diffusion of political knowledge a leading object of their Association, and we heartily wish them great success. With reference to the lecture, it was neat, and much to the purpose, but we have only room for the following brief extract, which illustrates some arguments we have recently used on the sift)). ect of `machinery It may be said that the extra queldty wanted may be supplied by the machine, and the men thrown out of work by it are precisely as they were. That this is not w`Jrks practically, is clearly shown the way in which it by the population in manufacturing tow l raf f ic t l t. i . ncre. dso of the e men who were thrown out of work never is. got 'AI again, and if each new machine threw still mare ) the population of the borough of Leeds, where pi t tt ut, so. much machinery has been introduced, ought to have diminished, for these individuals, having no employment , I would have been starved. But what is the fact ? Why that by the census the population in 1821, was 80,000 ; in 1831, 120,000 ; in 1841, 150,000 ; being an increase of 70,000 in twenty years. Again, How was it that in 1836, notwithstanding all the machinery in work, these extra 70,000 people were all employed, and that we were short of hands, and had to import many families from the agricultural districts ? How comes it that, if machinery throws people out of work, families from agricultural districts, where there is no machinery, should flock into manufacturing districts where there is ? The census of 1841, just completed, shows the astonishing fact, that, in the last ten years, the manufacturing population has increased thirty per cent., whilst the agricultural population Ilea decreased two and a half per ceat. Facts are stubborn things—they are worth a thousand arguments; and I defy those who maintain that machi nery throws people out of work to reconcile the above facts with their theory.

HAMBURG, Nov. 12.-13 tA.—Two months, 13 3 ressetsatton, Nov. 2. —Two months, 36% pence Letters and papers from Madrid of the ith inst. have reached us. The capital continued without the smallest interruption of its tran quillity. From Barcelona the news is of a date one day later. General VAN HALEN had not entered the city, as the autho rities had refused to admit him unless he consented to the demolition of the citadel, which he refused, at the same time threatening to cannonade the town. The num ber of men employed in demolishing the citadel was 3,000. In Valencia the authorities assem bled on the 31st ult., and adopted the following resolutions : " 1. The demolition of the tower and the citadel which commands the town. 2. The suppression of the names of Ferdinand and Christina on all public monuments. "3. The dismissal of all employes not supposed worthy of public confidence. "4. The dismissal from the ranks of the National Guards of all individuals whose opinions are not suffi ciently liberal. " 5. The demolition of the Palace of the Inquisition. "6. The arrest and imprisonment of all suspected persons. I "7. The suspension of all prison labour, as being detrimental to industry and manufactures." The next day, however, the decree of the REGENT for the dissolution of the Junta arrived and was proclaimed, the authorities only insist ing upon the demolition of the Citadel. _ The funds continued firm at Madrid. Fives 27 for cash.

In our Summary will be found all the notice which we shall condescend to take of this pitiful effusion of spite and meanness. The French Court organs continue their attacks upon the Spanish Regency. They ex agerate every trifle in order to embarrass the REGENT. Not one half of what they report about the state of things in Barcelona is true. The Debuts, alluding to the statement which has been made relative to the treatment of the persons of Tou louse, connected with the public press, on the charge of having excited the revolt in that city, has the following:— " We are even l ess than other partisans of arbitrary power and useless rigour, and we are about to prove it. It is true that the responsible editors of three journals of Toulouse, accused of having part in the troubles of that town in July last, were removed on foot, and with chains round their necks to the place where they are to be tried. A simple contradiction would have sufficed en the part of the Ministry, and this con tradiction has not been given. In the present case the prisoners have not been condemned, they are merely under accusation.

IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR, A LUNATIC.—JVDGMEN!• The LohE CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-ds_Y _ this lunatic r rt etitio, which was argued befo re the Court a short time since. His Lordship said tha t the case came before him on a question of costs, the application being on the part of Mr. Butt, a solicitor of that Court, w' the costs of defending Mr. John Taylor aga i n st a cow: mission of lunacy.

Lord Cottenham had most properly refused to accede 0, at the same time, however, stating, that the petition beioiLlt discharged with costs, would not preven t Mr. Butt fro . presenting another petition stating the evidence of tne retainer. In consequence of that suggest ion the present petition was filed, and in support of it an affi davit had been made by Mr. Butt, in which he stated that the reason he did not insert in the former pet i t i on any evid en t e with respect to the retainer was, that he thought it PI n'ke.' : , meant, looking at the course that had bee n pursued , the parties who opposed the petition, no t to take liilltie objection on that head, but solely on the g round of 1 .. incompetency of the testator to bind himself by all T l tainer.

THE NEW POLICE.—A case was tried before Baron Alderson yesterday, which bears out the view we have often been compelled to take of the conduct of the New Police, and more parti cularly of their unaccountable propensity for im prisoning the innocent rather than the guilty. A master-tailor had been given into custody by a drunken man, on a charge of begging, for which, it appears, there was not the slightest foundation. The accuser was allowed to walk away, and the other was shut up in a cell for the night, marched through the streets next day to the police-office, and, on being brought before the Ma g istrate, was instantly tliseharged. .- - For this he .brought an action against the person who had given him into custody, and got a verdict for 20/. damages. But the chief offender, Inspector Maude, who took the improbable iarge, escaped with only this well-timed rebuke from the Judge, which we recommend the Commissioners to have printed in large characters and hung up in every station house : Baron Alde rson —When you have doubts in future, exercise them for the purpose of keeping people out of prison, not for putting them in. If you had exercised any discretion, or the least common sense, this matter would never have been heard of," THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. There \sere few public sales, and but little business was done by private contract. Prices were, however, sustained in almost all instances. Raw Sugar was in fair demand both by the grocers and refiners, and about 500 hhds. and tierces West India sold at full p rices ; some parcels of white Bengal sold at 70s. to 71i., and fine yellow Mauritius at 645. to 665. 6d. per cwt. Re fined Sugar was in good request, and prices were a shade higher for fine samples. In Coffee it was difficult to effect sales, except at lower prices.

The text of a navigation treaty between Greet Britain and Sardinia, on a footing of the most perfect equality, will be found in another part of The Sun. It is for a period of ten years from the date of its ratification, which was the 16th ult. The substance of it might be given in a sentence. English ships in Sardinian ports, and Sardinian vessels in British ports, are to be treated re ciprocally, as native vessels, in all that regards tonnage, freight, pilotage, quarantine, lighthouses, and signals. The Courrier Francais has the exceeding littleness to indulge in a fit of vituper/itive spleen, because Count de St. Aulaire had the good taste,; at the Lord Mayor's dinner, to compliment the company in the name of the diplomatic body, on the good understanding subsistingbe tween England and France. "As to the French readers," says the Courrier Francais, "it is enough for them to know that our Ambassador has used language and uttered sentiments, in the name of the French nation, which it cannot sanction. M. de Saint Aulaire offered himself as a guarantee of the feelings of friendship and fraternization which, he says, France still entertains for England. It is quite evident that M. de Saint Aulaire arrives from Vicente and has passed hastily through Paris. The slightest inquiry into the state of public opinion in France would have proved to him that the feelings of the French nation are not such as he has re presented them to be." Since the Gourrier Francais be came the Oracle of M. Thiers, we doubt its representation of the state of public opinion in France ; and, notwith standing its article, which we now notice with contempt, we give the Frenchnation full credit for the kindly feeling towards us expressed by his Excellency the French Am bassador. The Journal des Debats condemns the treatment of the political prisoners at Toulouse, and trusts the re port of the indignity of the iron collar is unfounded. We stated some slays ago that France was indignant at the abolition of the Fuerns, because that measure would injure her coptraband trade with the Basques. The Constitutionnel of Friday last denied this and ac cused us of ignorance. Hear now what the Sentinelle des Pljrenees of the 11th says, quoted in the Constitu tionne/ o Saturday :—" The people of Bayonne - are busy, night and day, packing up goods to send them to Spain, be fore the tariff made by Espartero's. Government comes into effect." What answer will our Paris Contemporary make to this plain announcement? We happen to know quite as much about the Basque fueros as the wise men of Paris. From Madrid the news is of the 7th inst. The Juntas of Valencia, Alicante, and Barcelona had dissolved. in obedience to the commands of the Government. The Junta of Barcelona had declared itself willing to dis solve the instant the citadel was dismantled. As General Van Helen threatened the town with a large force, it was feared that a conflict was inevitable. Punzac OPINION. The recent appointment of Mr. Warren to the vacant Queen's Sergeantship, which has created such a stir among the Dublin lawyers, forms the subject of a lead ing article in the Advertiser, which observes :—" Some of our Contemporaries have been discussing with con siderable animation the conduct of the Government in appointing a Mr. Warren, instead of a Mr. West, to a vacant Irish Sergeantship. When there is an oyster to be disposed of and a lawyer in the way, we, all kpae what will become of the fish, whatever mity:be , done . with the shells ; but when there are two Leal* Geri- tlemen with their eyes intent upon the same veforsei7— " when Greek meets Greek "—there is sure he - a struggle of no ordinary kind, and the big wig getS' the oyster is likely to have the shells pitched, after by the adherents of his unsuccessful competitor:; It . ep e pears that Mr. West has been a most active pal-aye - reef the Tories, putting down his money like a man for elect tioneering purposes, and persevering, obstinately, like some other animal, in throwing every possible difficulty in the way of the Liberals."—We are heartily glad that Mr. West has been unsuccessful, fur he is well known as a determined partisan of the Tories ; and the very circumstance of the Government supporting the claims of such a man, shows that it is by no means so liberal in its policy as it professed, and still professes to be. Mr. 'Warren, the successful aspirant, may not be all that could be desired, but he is at any rate a sounder lawyer than Mr. West, and is not, so far as we have heard, so determined a Tory partisan. In an article on the subject of capital punishments, suggested by the execution of Blakesley yesterday for murder, the Times makes the following remarks:—" In France the crime of murder is much more frequent, and much more frequently aggravated by horrible circum stances of supererogatory depravity than in England. The law, therefore, of France sacrifices the lives of inno cent, loyal, and useful citizens to its tenderness for those who make war upon the human race. Nor does the evil stop here; for the public mind is demoralized by . the false principle thus admitted into the , national legisla tion; it is taught by the very authority which should have inculcated the opposite feeling, to soften down and palliate its natural abhorrence of murder. The refined or the daring murderer becomes to some an object of compassion; to others of interest ; and to too many of admiration. With the depraved in the upper classes he is the unhappy victim of passion or adverse fate, with the sterner spirits of the lower, a bold adventurer, a hero, or even a demigod."—lt is a curious and instruc tive illustration of the fact—in France at least—cant, sheer maudlin cant, has had a great deal to do with the opposition to capital punishments, that Robespierre started on his public career with a sentimental essay, and a still more sentimental speech against them ; and that the Girondists were equally averse to their inflic tion, notwithstanding that these tender-hearted legis lators had no scruples in causing the death of hundreds by their famous rise on the 10th of August, and in winking at the September massacres, when upwards of six thousand people were deliberately slaughtered in three days. The following statistics respecting our commercial in tercourse with Germany are from the Post :—" We find from the statistical tables compiled by Mr. Porter, and laid by the Board of Trade before Parliament, that the export of British and Irish produce and manufactures to Germany increased between the years 1827 and 1839 — and, with the exception of some accidental and tempo rary fluctuations, increased gradually—until, from 4,654,6181. of real or declared value, their amount in the former year, they had risen to 5,215,1551. in the latter, an increase of more than twelve per cent. We find, also, from the same official publication, that the ton nage of British vessels that paid Sound duties, a fair criterion, we suppdse, of our commercial in tercourse with that past of Germany in which the law of the League is likely to be as strictly enforced as ie any other, increased between the years 1832 and 1839 from 592,03 to 840,971 tons ; ; and that the ton nage of 1839, the last year included in the table, was considerably greater than that of any one of the inter vening years. We find, also, that the proportion which British vessels bore to the aggregate vessels of all na tions increased within the same period. Considering the total tonnage of vessels of all nations entering die Sound as an integer, the proportion of British tonnage in 1832 was ,324, and in 1839 ,342 ; the latter proportion being greater than that of any intervening year with the ex ception of 1633 and 1838, in the former of which it was ,351, and in the latter ,848. These official statements are not evidences of ruin to our manufacturers, or even of decay." , tipeakinte . of the distress that at present so generally exists in Paisley, the Chronicle remarks:—" The distress is, we understand, confined to the hand-loom weavers. The scale, according to which work Is paid, has ieng been much ' higher in Paisley than in other towns, and many of the masters have long been in the habit of sending work to towns at a distance "to obtain the benefit of the lower scale. But the masters were unable to per suade the operatives to reduce the scale, and a number of them have submitted longer to pay wages which they could not afford than in prudence they ought to have done. One fact is mentioned as a proof of the injury done to a town by endeavours to bolster up wages—namely, that the scale of wages of hand-loom weavers in Perth has been raised 20 per cent. since the distress Which has overtaken Paisley. It is clear from this that there is no want of work in Perth, for, if there were, a rise of 20 per cent. would be impossible. How happens it, then, that in one town the hand-loom weavers should be without employment, and in another the hand-loom weavers should have so much employment as to be able to raise their wages ? It can only be because in Paisley the operatives persisted in maintaining a scale equally ruinous to their masters and to themselves." The Liverpool Chronicle observes : ' 4 There has been a great fraud in Exchequer bills—and why? The cense the Tory journals assure us , was t hat h ateful sys tem of ECONOMY which has, of late years, been acted upon by the Government. There has been a great fire in the Tower. What was in fault? Economy again, we are informed on the same unquestionable authority. All th's is, doubtless, put forward as a feeler to the coun try. But it will not do. The people are too wise to be lieve that frauds and fires can only be prevented or ex tingoished by profligate extravagance.

A Young Men's Anti-Monopoly Association is about being formed in Sheffield. AGRICULTURAL. Upwards of eighty allotment holders under the Sut ton Valence system, dined together, after payment of their rent to Sir E. Filmer, in Kent, on Saturday last. These holders occupy each a quarter of an acre, for which they pay seven shillings, and they expressed them selves most thankful for the benefit. ti.,.esc - nroitrEtnnTG.

Three hundred electors were present, and the result of the meeting was most cheerinc , to the Liberal cause, there having be en a mos t decided gain in the registrations for Callington, Liskeard, Launceston, and other places. LAW AND POLICI. Three boys were committed at the Hatton-garden office, yesterday, to take their trial for stealing from their parents, and the fathers in each instance were bound over to prosecute. At Guildhall a boy was committed to Bridewell for a month for attempting to pick pockets, in view of the gallows, yesterday. At Union-hall, yesterday, a case came before Mr. Cottingham, the Magistrate, respecting the practice of refusing temporary relief to persons applying for it with an order from a Magistrate, when Mr. Cottingham inti mated that for the future, if any instance of that kind happened again, he would inflict the full penalty (51.) on the relieving overseer. An erroneous impression having been prevalent among apprentices that an indenture was not binding unless a premium had been paid to the master, a case was re ferred to the City Solicitor, who communicated his opi nion to the Chief Clerk at the Mansion-house yesterday, in which he states that he could find no case in which the doctrine contended for was laid down, and he was, therefore, convinced, on referring to the different statutes on the point, that a Magistrate had jurisdiction whether a premium were paid or not. The Lord Mayor, acting on this opinion, yesterday sent a refractory apprentice to the House of Correction, to be kept at hard labour, for a month. A number of lads, who were waiting the re sult, immediately scampered off to their work. At Marylebone office, Mr. Rogers, landlord of the Horse and Groom, Edgeware-road, was summoned by Inspector Black for allowing drunkenness and disorderly conduct in his house.
