The Ministry have refused to allow that body to consider and redress the injuries it inflicts on the public. Be it so. It does not, therefore, follow that those injuries are not to be redressed. The nation is not without help be- cause Dr. PEEL, after having taken his fee, will not prescribe. Constitutionally and legally the Parliament is the offspring of the people's choice, and intended to do the bidding of their sovereign will, and the power which constitutes a Parliament can be neither legally, constitu tionally, nor physically incapable of redressing its own wrongs because the instrument it has • chosen for the purpose refuses to perform its duties. The people are not to starve because it suits the convenience of Sir It. PEEL to pro rogue the Parliament. We, however, are glad it is dismissed, as that will convince the people they must rely on their own resources. The Speech with which her MAJESTY'S Mi nister prorogued the Parliament is before the public. According to the custom of those who will have their own way, it gives no other reason for proroguing Parliament than " that it appears advisable to her Majesty ;" poor lady! she never was consulted about it; her masters wish to get rid of the annoyance of receiving petitions and remonstrances, therefore to prorogue the Par liament appears advisable to them, and there fore it is prorogued. It seems hardly worth while solemnly to tell the two Houses that a new Mi nistry has been - formed, which is the substance of one-fourth of the Speech, when that has b een k nown these three we eks ; but Royal Speeches ge nera ll y con sist only of such nothings solemnly uttered. the meaning lan guage used by Now different is th e American President. Every se n t ence he - writes is necessary and useful. Evil counse l lors lately beguiled him to give a half consant t o a Bill establishing a fiscal agent, or a national b an k cling sed under another name, contrary to hi s .ili own views of what the Constitution prescribe s . He discovered his mistake before it was too late, length for his conduct, he giving his reasons at _ by he vetoed the Bill. He provedhis up- Tight conduct that his office and his power were not fictions, or mummeries, esta blished to enable a faction to lord it over the mil lions, but realities and truths, whether his powers were wrongly or rightly exercised. When we contrast the Speech of her MAJESTY'S Ministers at this important phasis of the condition of Eng land with President TYLER'S Alessage to Con gress, we blush to think that Englishmen should now allow themselves to be mocked and fooled by empty fictions. After the Ministers had thanked the House of Commons for the supplies which the Ministers and their men voted, those Ministers tell us that Parliament will have to equalise the public in come and expenditure, which •is another circum stance almost as well known as that PEEL is in office. They use the following language • The measures which it will be expedient to adopt for the purpos,e of equalising the Public Income and the Annual Expenditure, an, other important objects con nected with the Trade and Commerce of the country, will necessarily occupy your attention at an early period after the Recess. What would COBBETT, were he alive, say to this paragraph ? Are trade and commerce dif ferent and distinct things? Certainly not; and - ;he word "manufactures" should have been used for one of the unnecessary words. We understand the first half of the paragraph, but the second half puzzles u,s. Is it meant that measures for " equalising " other objects connected with trade, &c., will occupy the at tention of Parliament, or that oNects connected with trade, besides the measures for equalising the income and expenditure, will occupy the attention of Parliament ? If the latter be, as we presume, the meaning which her MAJESTY'S Mas ters wished to convey to the Parliament, why did they say, and other objects connected with trade, &c., as if the measures for equalising the public income and expenditure were also objects connected with trade ? As the sentence stands, the meaning is, that " measures for equalising the public income and expenditure, and for equalising other objects connected with trade, &c., will occupy your attention ;" which is as sheer nonsense as ever a Minister penned, and that is saying a great deal. The Ministers meant to be vague, and they have made themselves fools. They should have been more brief, and they would have been equally vague, without being ungrammati cal. They ought to have substituted for the words, "and other important objects connected with the trade and commerce of the country," the words, "with the state of trade." The whole would then read thus, " The measures which it will be expedient to adopt for the purpose of equalising the public income and the annual ex penditure, with the state of trade, will ne cessarily occupy your attention at an early period after the recess." Supposing the meaning of the sentence to be that some of the laws interfering with trade are to be taken into consideration, in conjunction with measures for equalising the revenue and the expenditure, we can only conclude that the Tories have al ready resolved to adopt the very course they turned out the Whigs fir proposing. The Speech expresses " deep concern at the distress which has prevailed in the manufactur ing districts for a considerable period," implying that it does not now prevail ; and it promises, not to take measures to relieve it, but to pre vent the recurrence of that distress. To the thousand complaints, then, which have been poured, and are still pouring, in from the ma nufacturing districts of now-prevailing distress, the Speech of her MAJESTY'S Ministers gives a solemn and positive contradiction. The Mi nisters do not believe the representa tions of the people ; they believe that the statements of present distress are all fudge ; and their "deep concern" is for the distress which has prevailed during the Whig Administration, and which has disappeared since the Tories took office. Sir ROBERT PEEL and his friends rely on those proofs which he and we have adduced, that the mortality was greater in the terrible years 1838 and 1839, than in 1841. In those years the Whigs, in conjunction with the Tories, obsti nately refused to relieve us by repealing the Corn-laws, or by altering them; and now they are told from the Throne, by their quondam allies in resisting our claims for relief, that dis tress existed in their Administration, and the public knows they took no means to remedy it. The " deep concern" which Sir ROBERT PEEL feigns for the distress which pre vailed under the Whig Administration will not cover his head with grey hair, nor plant a furrow in his cheek. We happened to see him, as he passed through the lobby of the House of Commons yesterday, and a more smiling, jocund-looking gentleman, for a man deeply concerned for the distress of a nation, it is impossible to behold. It is quite plain, from his speeches in Parliament, as well as from his gait and countenance, that he is in exuberant spirits, while he speaks of his " deep concern." In fact, he has become the wit of the House. NERO fiddled while Rome was burning—Sir Et. PEEL jokes while the people are starving. Nay, he seems to joke because they are starving, and he uses their distresses to imply a severe sarcasm against the Whigs. He may glorify himself by a comparison with them, but there is some thing in the world besides Whigs and Tories, and mankind will not see in the fsosi+g..._fsf___ an , -WA. „Pr ,A.fonfe—of out --- i - rfenctS expect a large and generous policy from him—we do not. He is a great actor, but not a great man. He can manage the House of Com mons—he does not comprehend the nation. He is a mere political machine, which is wound up and therefore goes, by the squires. As the ser-, vant is not greater than the master, as a machine is not superior to its maker, so cannot Sir RO BERT PEEL surpass the RICIIMONDS who have made him, and his policy will be no other than what they dictate. Were not the miserable career of Captain ELLIOT, in China, rapidly drawing to a close, and were we not satisfied that his successor will be careful to convince the Chinese that Great Britain never could approve of the acts of this wretched Plenipotentiary, we should despair of the name of England ever again being respected in the East. We have to-day given a series of his bombastical proclamations to the Chinese, which, though of prior date to those published yesterday, are interesting, as showing the almost unmanageable extent to which his stolidity carried him, in all the measures undertaken by him in China. The city of Canton capitulated on the 37th of May, and on the same day Captain ELLIOT delivered it up to the Chinese for a ransom of six millions of dollars, as if the only object of England in making war upon China was to extort from her Government sums of money ! In fact, so far was he from stipulating for any conditions in favour of the British flag in Canton before delivering up that city on the 727th of May, that on the 10th of June following he finds himself called upon to issue a procla mation to British merchants and traders, warning them of the danger of entering the Canton river, mud inviting them to Hong Kong, where he can alone promise them protection. At that time it was known at Macao that the Chinese authorities had violated all the conditions of the capitulation; that Canton was filled with troops; that the forts in the vicinity of the city were all in the course of reconstruction; and that to excite the most furious passions of the people the head of an unfortunate EngliShman was stuck upon a pole in one of the principal streets of Canton, where the foulest indignities were offered to it. In his last proclamation Captain ELLIOT threatens Canton with a fresh blockade if any attack be made upon the British at Hong Kong. Are we to infer from this that ELLIOT fancied he could squeeze another six millions of dollars out of the Chinese ? Must we indeed bear the reputation of being a nation of buccaneers, who make war only t o fil l our plun der of those wh ose wealth and weaknesswith ff co ers the tempt our cupidity ? Captain qu ß it ut ca ntonthat E LLIOT was so impati en t to he did no t wa i t for the en tire performance of an y part of the stipulations m. of surrender: 'The three Imperial Commissioners were to withdraw sixty m il es from Cant':ni ELLIOT was satisfied when t wo o f them retired t outside the walls. The third never quitted Can ton at all. The troops were to remove an equal distance, but Canton was delivered up before they had marched five miles . from the city, to which they returned a few hours after the British evacuated it. The five millions of dol lars fall short of the Consoo duty on tea, paid by British merchants since 1839, over and above the usual duties paid by other nations. These duties amounted on the Ist of May, 1841, to 1,888,8881. sterling, so that, in reality, Captain ELLIOT did not receive quite one millon of dollars for the evacuation of Can ton ! Of the sum actually paid to the Superin tendent, it was the general impression at Macao that a large quantity of the sycee was ,so mixed with alloy as to be of little value, so that here again the wretched Captain ELLIOT has been the dupe of the Chinese. For the Spanish schooner Bilbaino the Chi nese have paid. sixteen thousand dollars. But Why was the foul murdci4 committed on board the English schooner the Black .Toke over_ looked? Had Captain ELLIOT so short a me mory that he could recollect nothing of the mu have disgraced evn a policeman in Ireland---: after the law, whet appealed to, had so vindi cated Mr. BROYA . ?, as to condemn the unjust Magistrate in cost, his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND submittd a motion to the How e of Peers for an address to her MAJESTY that she would order Mr. Li; - wires expenses to be paid out of the public trasury, for .that was the ob ject of the Noble luke, though the words are, " take Mr. IJNwL.NI case into gracious conside ration." The modal was indeed informal, and, as Lord WHARNCLrFE said, dangerous to the stability of the Golernment,iind therefore it was withdrawn ; but let the reader just consider to what all this must come, if one Peer maintains that a Magistrate to be upheld who violates the law, and mother, when he has by accident fallen undfr its lightest visitation, pro poses to reimburse sim, and perhaps reward him out of the public pine. One JOSEPH BROYAN, as the Duke of POITLAND contemptuously styled the victim of Mr UNWIN'S unscrupulous zeal, representing under that designation, however, ell the labouring classes, is to have his house broken into, his every (:rawer ransacked, his things strewed about, the privacy of his dwelling and his family violated, and JOSEPII BROYAN is to pay by the taxes all the expenses to which the oppressor is put. Such proceedings are mon strous, and if the Peers and gentlemen of Eng land think that they are not observed by and known to tin people, and have not their due effect on their minds, they are grievously mis taken. The :over classes, we beg to assure the Duke of POIITLAND, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, and the whole trite of Tory law-makers and Magis trates, do acttally bleed when they arc pricked, do feel and mill resent injuries whenever they have the power. Their minds have now gathered in " one drop of time" centuries of wrong; long nursed indignation is intensely concentrated and compressed ; and how soon a fearful explosion may take place no man can tell. tilation of Mr. Moss ? But Captain ELLIOT was too eager to figure as the beadle of all Europe to attend to such petty concerns as the violation of the British flag, and the mutilation of a British subject. A more deplorably disgraceful state than that to which Captain ELLIUT reduced the British name in China, it would be impossible to conceive. To be shut out from a city, from the walls of which British hands had volun tarily removed the British flag, never before befel us. It is the first instance in our his tory in which a military expedition was undertaken in the name of the British Crown for no earthly conceivable purpose but to extort a ransom. But from the outline which we yesterday gave of the instructions given by the late Government to the new Plenipoten- tiary Sir H. POTTINGEB, and from the Com missioner's own knowledge of the light in which the fathomless in - ibecility of ELLIOT was regarded in England at the date of his own appointment, we feel the fullest confidence that no time will be lost in wiping away those stains which at present attach to the British name in China. This indeed constitutes our only conso lation under the infliction of the disgrace which Captain ELLIOT has so perseveringly inflicted upon the Government of this country. On Saturday we noticed in our Parliamentary Summary the language used by Lord WIIARN CLIFFE in attacking the Marquis of NORMANBY for not supporting the Mansfield Magistrates in particular, and the Magistrates generally, in all their actions. A closer examination of the de bate on that occasion leads us to think that it is worthy of being again brought under the notice of our readers. In the month of August, 1839, a Mr. UNWIN, a Magistrate, of whom we shall say as little evil as possible, as he has now to reckon with the GREAT JUDGE, but who was described by the Marquis of NORMANBY as a gentleman who loved to execute the law himself, and would rather take a poacher himself than commit the duty to other hands—Mr. UN WIN com municated to the Magistrates that he had certain information that in many houses arms were concealed for: treasonable purposes. The information was derived from a man named EPHRAIM SILLS, who was not produced on the trial, lest, as wasisaid, he might prejudice Mr. UNWIN'S case, and who was described by one witness as unworthy of belief. The Magis trates to whom the information was given on oath doubted whether they had the power to search houses for arms, but Mr. UNwIN issued a warrant to search the houses of several persons in Mansfield for arms. He went himself to mecute the warrants, and searched, amongst other houses, the house of Mr. BROYAN, but found no arms. He searched, at the same time, for other things. He appears to have ransacked Mr. BROYAN'S daughter's bureau, as well as other places, for papers, and finding some, he is said to have exclaimed, "These are what I wanted;" and he seized some letters from Mr. PITKEITH LEY, and an address from the General Conven tion wrapped round a stocking. For this viola tion of his " castle," as a poor Englishman's house is figuratively called, Mr. BROYAN brought an action against Mr. UNWIN, and notwithstand ipg the protection which the law throws round Magistrates, and the impediments it places in The war-cry against England is evidently about to be renewed in the French Journals. Those last received scarcely deign to conceal that in keeping up her naval armaments France has no other object than to pick a quarrel with us. Unfortunately for the repose of the world some of our Tory Contemporaries are playing the game of the French war faction. The Times, which, under its new management, appears to sail before every wind that blows without either chart or compass, has recently indulged in a series of bigotted and altogether most unjust attacks upon the moral and religious character of the French people, which we are not sur prised to find are producing immense mischief in Paris. Whoever may be the writer of these articles, we can tell him that he has incurred a fearful moral responsibity. The French people will not suffer themselves to be branded with the vilest epithets with impunity, nor will a vindication of their moral worth be confined to an attack on Printing-house-square. But to meet the question on the writer's own narrow, polemical ground,—ls it by insulting the moral and religious feelings of the French that the writer in the Times hopes to make them better Christians and better citizens ? Does he expect them to become devout Christians because he denounces them as a nation of infidelsand atheists? Does he hope to make them better subjects by gravely asserting that they are only to be go verned by the sheer application of brute force ? Or does he himself really believe that in a country where an army of half a million of men can be kept in subjection by an appeal to the sentiment of individual honour, a Government might not exercise the most extensive sway with out recourse to the repressive laws so vainly had recourse to by Louis PHILIPPE ? If lie does soberly believe this, he cannot too soon abandon his attempts to influence public opinion against the French. He is but indifferently qua lified to treat of questions which require so much delicacy in the handling as the state of moral and religious feeling among a people so sensitive to everything like insult or abuse as our Gallic neighbours. Independently of Tory provocations, we are not altogether surprised at the sudden change in the tone of the re mores —tua+e Paris Jaur rni 11,:Na i s t u il r t.. i :ssr,i n g at present to do, may be expected to employ himself in reviving the old outcry against England. The Germans treated him so handsomely that lie cannot make up his mind to the shamelessness of abusing them; and so he attacks us without mercy. The provincial riots, occasioned by the expense to which M.THIERS put the country, have not di minished his influence with the editors of the Paris press, and a noisy anti-English faction in the Cham bers. One thing only about the matter surprises us, and that is, that M. THIERS, who never before adhered so long to one opinion, ha s no t by thi s time become a partizan of the British alliance. But for the opposition be met with, and the loss of power and place which lie incurred, we are quite sure that he would by this time have been ready to sacrifice every ship in commission to the slightest wish of Lord ABERDEEN, or whoso ever else_might fill the place of Foreign Secre tary—Lord PALMERSTON not excepted. But his misunderstanding with England has degenerated into a personal quarrel. The British Government deigned not to regard his bluster as the voice of the French people. Ile was treated less as a Minister than as an individual; in the struggle his political charlatanism was exposed to the in dignation of Europe, and hence, we presume, the depth of his continued resentment. M. THIERS lutes us not on public but on private grounds. He cannot pardon us his political extinction, nor do we much wonder at it. But why should the French Press submit to be made the tool of M. THIERS ? Why should it echo insults dictated by the wounded self-love of an incompetent states man, or rather of a disappointed political adven turer? Are two great nations to cut each other's throats to appease the vengeance ofan individual who has already attained an eminence so dispro portioned to his talents and his public services ? If so, the reign of justice and common sense has not yet commenced in the world. the way of correcting them, and notwithstand ing the known leaning of all the Judges to favour men in authority, a verdict, with nominal da mages, passed against Sr. UN WIN. Such is a brief outline of the facts •of the case, and we cannot see how the Home Secretary was called on in any way to interfere, or suspend the due course of law, in order to protect Mr. UNwtx. But the excuse made by Mr. UNWIN for his too much zeal was, that Lord J. RUSSELL had issued a circular letter on May 7, 1839, to the Magistrates, directing their attention to the fact that the people were arming, and pointing out the means of seizing the arms. The Judge, Lord U NWIN'S conduct; but it is obvious that the terror of the people, felt by the Home Secretary, and the zeal he displayed, gave a fillip to the terror and the zeal of Mr. UN*IN, and made him overstep the bounds of law. Dreadful was the alarm throughout the land then on account of the Chartists, and intent- perate the exertions of all the ministers of the law, from the police at Birmingham to Mr. TJNwIN at Mansfield. Such results, when Char tism was dying out, should teach liberal Home Secretaries that even their zeal may outrun dis cretion, and work fearfully through the zeal of their too willing understrappers. The Marquis of NORMANBY did not see in Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S circular a defence of Mr. UNWIN'S conduct, and when applied to he re fused to allow the Home-office to undertake Mr. I.lNwr.N's defence. For not undertaking that defence, the Noble Marquis was exposed to the attack of the Duke of PORTLAND, and the vituperation of Lord WIIAIINCIFFE, the Pre sident of the Council. What the former might have said is lost to the world, because the Noble Duke appears to be not much of an orator, but the latter went the length of reproaching the Marquis of NORMANBY with having been in fluenced in his conduct by the same sort of feeling which he had manifested in Ireland— a disposition against the country gentlemen an 4 Magistrates, for whom the President ofthe Cour claimed almost complete impunity. In fact, that language of the Tory Minister, as reported in the Times, is the circumstance which makes us refer to this case. After scolding the Marquis of Non- MANBY for not being as arbitrary and ill-disposed towards the people as the Tories—after making it out ,that the Home Secretary should support the Magistracy both in Ireland and England, whatever freaks of oppression they might be guilty of, the Lord President of the Council came to the conclusion that the Magistrates should, in some cases, be exempt from the con trol of the law. These are the words reported to have been used by the Lord President of the Council, one of the guardians of our rights, and one of the paid protectors of the people ;-- " For his part, he was clearly of opinion that in some cases (such as that, of course, of break ing into a poor man's house and taking away his papers without any authority) Magistrates could not discharge their duties if they were to be confined with undeviating precision to the strict letter of the law," Oh, no ; where Chartists and democrats are concerned, where persons combine together to get rid of landlords' tyranny, to throw off a ' Bread-tax, or recover from their grasp the repre sentation of the people, these Magistrates are to be licensed; they are not to be confined by the law ; they are to act on their zeal, however exu berant ; on their suspicions, however false and exaggerated; and on their personal caprice or personal spite, however unworthy. Whatever the County Magistracy may do to poachers and Chartists, they are to be defended; and when they trespass on the law, which is made as,much as possible to suit their convenience and serve their purpose, just then the law, which in all other cases is to be rigidly adhered to and strictly enforced, is to be relaxed or suspended, that their conduct, however brutal, may go scot free. That, we know, is the general practice, and that is now the doctrine openly broached by the Tory Lord President of the Council, one of the highest tribunals, and he one of the highest Judges, of the land. But such practices and such doctrines have already brought contempt and hatred on the law of England, and have made its Legislators and its Magistrates a bye-word amongst the na tions. It appears probable, judging from the returns we published Wednesday and the day before of the number of cases of fever in Edinburgh and Manchester, that 1838 was unhealthy and fatal to life, and that 1837, though less unhealthy and less fatal to life than 1838, was much more un healthy and more fatal to life than the four pre ceding years. The year 1837 was the last of the favourable years. Trade suffered severely at the close of 1836, and before the month of June, 1838, the price of food had risen considerably, and distres s was felt and complained of. Such being the facts, we regret that the records of the R eg i s trar -General, whose Third Report has just been published by the House of Commons, do not date from an earlier period than June, 1837. During the first year's regis tration, from that period to June, 1838, our social distresses had begun; and there is no corresponding registration for the prosperous years, from 1832 to 1830, inclusive. We think it right at once to mention this fact, because some of our Contemporaries are publishing ex tracts and remarks on the Report just men tioned, and drawing from it all sorts of unwar rantable inferences, Rernemberi4this important fact that 1837- 1838, is included in the bad years, we shall con tent ourselves now with quoting one remark from the Third Report, and one illustration of the devastating effects of the insufficiency of food in the following years. After making ;various allowances in. order to institute a fair comparison between the mortality in the years 18384839, 1839-1840, and the year 1837- 1838--itself.a year of more than ordinary disease and,death—the Registrar-General comes to this conclusion.'- The increased mortality for the But the cream of the practised and meditated injustice is] yet to come. After this Magistrate had most scandalously violated a poor man's dwelling, and behaved in a way which would yeUr 1839-1840, as compared . to the year 1637- 1838, was about 7,000, and, as compared to the year 1838-1839, 14,700. Thus, allowing for the increase of population, a great increase of morta- THE SUN, LONDON, FLIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1841. •lity took place in 1839-1840 above 1837-1838, which was itself a disastrous year. The mor tality of 1838-1839, was not quite equal to the mortality of the preceding year. We know, too, Min the metropolitan weekly re turns, which we regularly publish, that the mortality this year is considerably less in pro portion than last year, showing, as we have be fore remarked, that when death has been very busy in one year less remains for him to do the next. So the years from 1837 to 1810 having been fatal years, the feeble of all ages, but par ticularly the feeble young, having been carried off in great numbers ; the year 1841, when its character comes to be summed up—the Re gistrar-General stops at present with 1840--- will appear to be, in comparison with its immediate predecessors, a healthy year. We shall probably return to this subject, and to the Registrar-General's Report ; we must now content ourselves with reiterating the state ment, that the mortality of the year now de scribed in it is that it was unfriendly to life. The whole of the French Journals of Wed nesday have been received, with Madrid papers of the 29th ult. The Moniteur and the Moniteur Parisien have the following accounts of the dis turbances which have taken place in the north of Spain : " Intelligence received from St. Sebastian announces," says the Maniteur," that an insurrection had broken out in Navarre. General O'Donnell, at the bead of two bat talions, took possession of the citadel of Pampeluna. Ge neral Ribeiro still held the town with 300 men and the National Guard. Some troops sent against O'Donnell had, it is said, joined him." "We learn by letters from St. Sebastian," says the Moniteur Parisien, " that a movement in favour of Queen Isabella and her mother, had taken place in the city of Pampeluna. General O'Donnell, at the head of two battalions, had taken, possession of the citadel. Some troops sent against him had, it is said, joined him. It is added, that a body of cavalry, which left Pampeluna to scour the country, had declared them selves in favour of the movement. General Ribeiro still continued in the town with 300 men and the National Guard, which continued faithful to him." The Courrier Francais, commenting upon the above, says : " The insurrection, of which General O'Donnell has just given the signal in Navarre, would be an important event if the French Cabinet had excited it, or should show itself disposed to second it. We trust, however, that this is not the case, and that 14i. Guizot will reli giously abstain from taking any part in the intestine quarrels of our neighbours." The Constitutionnel writes to the same effect : " This insurrection, which has been excited by the party of Queen Christina, is the most fatal incident that could occur at this moment to unhappy Spain. What is wanted in Navarre, as in the rest of the Peninsula, is re pose, is peace, which can alone repair the evils of civil Ivan We do not yet know what part our Ministry took in the intrigue which led to this movement, but the language recently held by the Ministerial Journals already throws a heavy responsibility on the Cabinet. Espartero will doubtless succeed in putting clown the insurrection ; but the attempt itself is not of a nature to strengthen our in fluence, already so much weakened, over the Spanish Government." The Five per Cents, were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 29th ult at 27/ cash, and 27f t and 28 at 60 days. La France gives, in an extraordinary supplement, ac counts from Kirchberg up to the 24th of September. The Duke of Bordeaux will begin to walk in a fortnight. A Journal states that the Session of the Chambers will open on the 15th of December. Yesterday the examining Commissioner proceeded to the confrontation with Quenisset,of some individuals presumed to be his accomplices, who have been lately arrested.— Constitutionnel. The Bayonne papers of Sunday make no mention of the movement at Pampeluna, stated by the Moniteur Pa risien, and also by the Messager and Moniteur. The news probably came by telegraph. It is remarkable that no date is assigned to this event, which, if it has actually occurred, is of no small importance. We hear that every preparation is made at the hotel of the English Legation to receive Lord Cowley, who is expected about the 15th of October. The Journal de 11 Libraire of Saturday last contains the following advertisement :—" In the press, to be pub lished in November, Historie de la Conspiration Didier,' in one large vol. Bvo, edited by M. Cretineau Isly, from inedited and authoritive documents; among which are 83 letters of M.' Decaze." These 83 letters of the grand refenderary of the Chamber of Peers, are said to be au tographs. It would have been a pity if this correspond ence were not at length published.—Le Commerce.

For ex ample, it was yesterday stated, " Her Majesty has ap pointed Lord Wharncliffe (Lord President of the Coun cil), the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., the Duke of Buckingham, the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Lord Stanley, Lord Granville Somerset, and Sir James Graham, Bart., to be Members of the Committee on the subject of education." Here, then, is all the education of the country, so far as that can be controlled by Go vernment, now thrown into the hands of the Tories- Lord Wharncliffe. will insist on men being bred up with a proper reverence for country squires. Sir R. Peel will take care that only a one-sided knowledge of statistics shall be taught, which shall regard as superior to the Gos pel whatever the Tory Prime Minister may assert. The Duke of Buckingham will be zealous that the principle of contentment in that state of life in which it has pleased God to call you, or the landlords to place you, though it be to starve on Gs. a week, be assiduously in culcated. Mr. Goulburn will see that no' boy shall get beyond common arithmetic, lest the blunders of the finan cier might became too apparent. Lord Stanley will have no teacher who is not an ardent defender of all the immunities of the Church. Lord Granville Somerset will take care that reverence to the house of Beaufort be inculcated at school, as it will never be learnt in the world. The Knight of Netherby will slyly insinuate that a love of consistency and of truth is not necessary for those who expect to rise in the world, and he will tolerate no teacher who advocates straight and upright walking. In this Board there is no Catholic—no liberal Mr. Wyse. What fools were those Liberals and those Whigs to extend the power of the Government, and enable it to encompass the whole community with a net, in order to place its draw-string in the hands of the Tories. The Whigs and the Liberals have placed educa tion under the control of the Tories and the priests. That, however, we presume, has the approbation of Mr. Ewart, and those gentlemen of his way of thinking who are anxious to make our Government as extensive and as mischievous as that of France. EXTRAORDINARY DISPATCH If we experienced inconvenience and delay in the early part of last week by the irregular arrival of the steam packets from England owing to the tempestuous weather, that inconvenience and delay was amply compen sated, for on Saturday, by the kindness of Advocate Tupper, who arrived here by the Atalanta in the morning, from Southampton, by placing The Sun of Friday evening in our hands ! What ! say some good people, now could you get The Sun, which is only published on Friday at three o'clock in the afternoon in London, by half-past seven o'clock on Saturday morning, after the lapse of only sixteen hours and a half t The question deserves a decisive answer, on account of the activity of all the parties concerned ; and also to show whatever may be done by diligence and persevering activity, aided by the power of st eam an d the accommodation of railroads. Well, now to our pur pose. It is well known that Mr. Tupper is very active, and very . diligent in whatever he undertakes ; and wish ing to give his friends additional proof to that effect, he called at The Sun office, in the Strand, London, on Friday morning, and asked the spirited pro prietor of that paper whether he could not con trive to let him have a half dozen copies of his journal of that day, to take over with him to Guernsey, by the train which left at half-past three o'clock for Southamp ton. The proprietor of The Sun promised to do his ut most to gratify the applicant ; and, as the sequel will show, he did not disappoint Mr. Tupper's expectations, for as soon as the required number of copies were struck off and packed, a messenger on horseback was dispatched with them, who fortunately reached the terminus of the railway just in time to deliver his de posit into Mr. Tupper's hands ; and by that means placed that gentleman in circumstances to gra tify his friends in Guernsey and Jersey-, besides conferring on him the pleasure of being the first person that ever brought a London Friday evening's Journal on Saturday morning, at an early hour in Guernsey. We tender our best thanks to Mr. Tupper, for his spon taneous act of kindness in remembering us, and also to the proprietor of The Sun, who did on this, as well as on several occasions, manifest a disposition to commu nicate the earliest intelligence to the public, which was successfully accomplished by placing the London lumi nary in the hands of Guernseymen, in the incredibly short space of sixteen hours and a half, after it was issued from the London press !—Guernsey Comet. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—This stupondous work is rapidly advancing to completion. The sub marine cutting has been finished some months, but in order to secure easy facility of entrance, it has been found necessary to bore farther beyond the high-water mark than was 'originally intended. • R tr , 7 4 r 4 f? i ' S ta (13 a E AND ;I'tal.! 4 ltir OPttliOn. " Who runs may read." roumzGN. Captain Elliot's latest doings in China 'are calling down upon us the reprobation of the French press. Our Gallic Contemporaries should, in all fairness, wait to know what •the English people think of e vagaries of this functionary. Our readers re not to be told what The Sun has always tuire thought and still thinks of Elliot's achievements. If any of them do, we refer them to our leading columns of this day. To show the animus of the French press wg.4 quote an extract from the Courrier Francais upon which it is unnecessary that we should offer any comment : " The capitulation of Canton is a piece of good for tune for the English, for it will fill up a portion of the deficit occasioned by their expensive armaments. It will be thought perhaps that a harsh ransom has been exacted from the Chinese, but the English are not in the habit of going to war merely to show their disinterestedness, If the inhabitants of Canton, who had never given to England the slightest ground of complaint, and who only desired to renew the relations which had been broken off by order of the Emperor, are to be treated in this way, what treatment is reserved for the Chinese Government, and in particular fur the Emperor ?" The Journal des Dcbats, the organ of the King, pro claims that there will be no disarmament of the Navy, but rather an increase of that description of force. This Journal, which speaks the sentiments of the King, says:--" We cannot entertain a project of reduction of the navy until France shall have what she now has not, viz. a navy proportioned, not to the jealousy of England, which the English press persists in imputing to us, but to the real wants of France, and the elevated rank which she holds in the world." The Courrier Francais and the Constitutionnel unanim ously implore the French Government to have nothing to do with the Christina movement now attempted by General O'Donnell in Spain. The Presse has a furious attack on the Government of the United States. We have not room for it to-day, but the, substance of it shall appear in our columns of to-morrow. On the 29th ult. the young . Queen of Spain and her sister appeared in deep mourning, that being the eighth anniversary of the death of Ferdinand VII. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald, after expressing its opinion the . the Royal Speech is " distinguished by a very unusual tone of simplicity and frankness," proceeds to say : " The two announcements with which it commences could scarcely have been compressed—without disadvan tage—into terms more brief or direct. The character of the measures to be propounded, next Session, is indi cated without further comment ; and to be sure the multiplied interests which they involve—the mighty ends to which they are to be directed—are such as, perhaps, required not to be further enforced, having been once distinctly noticed in a paragraph of her Majesty's Speech. When it is said of measures which it will be expedient to adopt' that they will be calculated to accomplish the purposes of equalising the public income and the an nual expenditure—and other important objects connected with the trade and commerce of the country,'—nothing more, surely, can be .requisite to secure for them the gravest attention of Noble Lords and Honour able Members 'at an early period after the recess.' " The "simplicity and frankness" of the Royal Speech, which the Herald so highly praises, we are at a loss to discover ; but one thing is very evident throughout it —namely, that its character is in beautiful accordance with that of the Session which has just closed. The ono is an apt comment on the other. The Speech says nothing worth noticing ; and during the Session nothing has been done worth a moment's consideration. The Speech is short; so was the Session. The Speech is, fur the most part, taken up with common-place cant ; and during the Session nothing else was talked but cant. The Speech is ungrammatical ; and the Session was equally remarkable for displays of indifferent ortho graphy. The Speech is high Tory ; and such was the character of the Session I In a word, the Speech illus trates the Session as correctly as George Cruickshank has illustrated the Tom-fooleries of Jack Sheppard. The Post thus refers to the Royal Speech --" The Speech read yesterday, by the Royal Commissione rs on the prorogation of Parliament is adapted to the peculiar ity of the present position of affairs. It is more concise than usual—less general in its review of topics. Instead of using words about various important matters, which are usually framed so as to mean nothing, it spares the words and avoids the topics altogether. We do not know that we should decide all at once upon this being an im provement, if we supposed that it was ,to be taken as the commencement of an innovation upon esta blished usage as regards Royal Speeches to Par liament. But we do not suppose any such thing."— The Post seems somewhat puzzled in what terms to write about the Royal Speech. We are surprised at this, for we should have thought it every way suited to our Contemporary's Tory tastes. What more—or, rather, what less—would he have, in a Speech concocted by a Tamworth Quack ? Is it not canting enough for him ? Does not its delightful nothingness charm his Tory fancy ? As a party journali3t, he must be very unreasonable not to be perfectly satisfied with a Speech which binds MinisterS to nothing—absolutely nothing at all ! We quote from' the Chronicle the following elle ''e speech :—" Here, in this do cument, which would be were it not shamelessly indecent, we have announced—what A great change in our commercial policy ? A great prospect for national industry ? A great relief to suffer ing millions ? No ! a change of Ministry ; and this change is—completed ! Positively, if men were not fa miller with what has transpired during the recent short and shabby Session of Parliament, such an announce ment, constituting the very head and front' of the Speech; ware enough to knock them down. A Parlia ment assembled, with the cries of suffering thousands ringing in its ears, and recommended, in a Royal Speech, to enter on the best and most effectual remedy for these sufferings, is dismissed with the announcement that there has been a change of Ministry, and that the change is— completed I A completer and a morn heartless insult was never flung in the face of a people calling themselves free l" The most sagacious remark we have been able to discover in the Royal Speech, is the statement that the " arrangements for the formation of a new Ministry have been completed." Yet there is nothing brilliant or original ate_ e, though we demur not to its accuracy. It is really a fact that the new Ministry is completed ; but who did not know this already ; and knowing it, who required to be told it a Svcond time, in the very first paragraph of a Royal Speech i With quite as much propriety might Ministers have told i s that Queen Anne eves dead I—When we compare the amount of matter contained in thelWhig Speech which opened the Session. with that contained in the Tory one which closed it, ire are forcibly reminded of Falstaff's famous tavern-bill. The Whig Speech is his " ten shillings worth of sack"; the Tory Speech le his " halfpenny worth of bread." The one is bold and full ; the other, sneaking and empty. The Times, like the Post, is exceedingly modest and moderate in its praises of the Royal Speech, observing : —" The first Session of the new Parliament has been brought to a close, and, although the . Royal address des livered on that occasion partakes of a brevity commen surate with the shortness of the Session, and with the necessary disability of the newly installed Government to expatiate upon affairs which they have not had suffi cient time to pronounce upon, it at least declares her Majesty's perfect harmony with that Government, as well as their own steady determination to pro ceed in a deliberate and rational manner in devising their plans for the general welfare of the country."— The Times, it will be observed, contents itself in the above passage with simply alluding to the " brevity" of the Royal Speech. It is brief enough certainly; and if —as the old adage says—" brevity is the soul of wit," it ought to be remarkable for its brilliancy ; but, alas, it is an exception to the general rule; for anything duller or more stupid was never yet spoken, even by a Peter Borthwick—which is saying a great deal for it. The following is from the Advertisers—" Parliament is prorogued, and the Royal Speech by which the act was accomplished, read yesterday by the Lord Chancel lor, surpasses any similar document yet on record in the utter inanity of its expression. It may be summed up in the announcements that her Majesty deems it advisable to close the Session of Parliament—that she thanks the Commons for the supplies—that she sympathises in the public distress, and will give her cordial concurrence to any measures which shall appear, after mature deli beration,' best calculated to prevent its recurrence— hich are all very fair in appearance, but being more plainly interpreted, mean nothing more than that the shooting season having arrived, it is more agreeable to the Members of the Legislature to take to the sports of the field than to stop in town, deliberating in long and heartless debates, whether it he better to leave the peo ple a prey to actual starvation, or to ease their sufferings by removing, even in part, the restrictions which exclude them from food." The Dublin Pilot, alluding to Lord Shrewsbury's re cent pamphlet, observes :—" That a man pretending to discuss and condemn our Repeal agitation should know so little of us, our agitation, our clergy : or our country, as to say that the Irish people bad no grievances to com plain of, that her clergy were satisfied with the condi tion of their flocks, and knew no secret for future pro tion and improvement, han submission to, and confidence in, Peel—argues a man besotted in his own conceits, but totally ignorant of the country." The Nottingham Review makes the following remarks, on the subject of the good understanding between the Church and the present Ministry :—" Until we see the friends and advocates of an Established Church, carrying out the true principles of Christianity, we cannot accord them credit for that sincerity which is due to the honest assertion of principles ; and while we see the people neglected, thousands furnishing, and thousands willing to work and unable to obtain it, one has no hesitation in saying that the present Government, if friends of the Church, are only so for political purposes." The following is from the Sherbourne Journal :—"Thu p eo ple are justly served ; they have returned a large ma jority of Conservatives, and have placed the coinage of Reform under their oontrol ; and if they find it conside rably adulterated, it ought not to surprise them." The North Devon Journal observes, in an article on the Whig New Poor-law---" Right gladly did the Tories join them in the undertaking, although they had not the moral courage to originate the plan. The Whig Ministry dared •the ta§h, and. accomplished it. Th a t ther e are blemishes in the New Poor-law which mar its useful ness, .is merely saying that man's work is not perfect.
