MORNING SU N COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE. A new five act comedy, from the pen of Sheridan Knowles, and bearing the promising title of Old Maids, was produced at this theatre last evening with complete success. It is neither a satire on, nor a defence of, the antiquated sisterhood from which it takes its name, but is rather-an apology for those young ladies, who, for the cause of old maidism, . Contending with more zeal than heed," ire at length— " Ta'en captive by the common foe," man, and compelleJ, without regret, to put on wed dock's chains. The opening scene takes place in a room ein the house of Sir Philip Brilliant (Mr. C. Mathews.) ilire.cannot better describe his character than in the "Words of our author--" Sir Philip Brilliant is a butterfly in the dravring•room, but a man in the field. His nature iit is of the true stuff. He is a blade of proof in %twit scabbard; you may laugh at the scabbard, but y? ts a at the blade." Sir Philip discusses the meta of new suit, with which he means to "affront all c l o e n t ipa 3 r l i a s s o t n e : for its fashion and splendour, with his Robert (Mr. W. Lacy), a pleasant incontinent rgue t. — e but a frank one and honest withal—a rogue for . the humour only, and after having settled the impor tant matter of a wrinkle near the seam of the left sho u ld er , h e sa lli es fort h to L u d ga teill to chide Master Blount (Mr. F. Matthews), the jeweller, who so slightly set his beav e r j e w e l that he lost it in the street. This Master Blount has two sons, the eldest, John (Harley), to all app ea r a nce a plodding artisan, and his father's favourite--the youngest Thomas (Mr. G. Vandenhoff), loves his father, but not his father's craft. He is the favourite of his mother, Mistress Blount (Mrs. W. West), who defends his cause with great eloquence and energy. Sir Philip -arrives, rates and insults old Blount, whose cause is taken up by his son Thomas. Sir Philip, won by his manliness of bearing, challenges him, intending to change a pass or two with him to prove him. They meet, and the result is, that Sir Philip takes upon himself the charge of Thomas Blount's for tunes, who bids farewell to desk and counter. In the second actave find Sir Philip and Thomas (now Colonel ,Blount) returned from the wars, and visiting Lady Anne (Mrs. Nisbett) and Lady Blanche (Madame lies ahe two would-be old maids. Of Lady Anne it is said— " She glories in her single state ; and trailed To mastery in studies men affect, And seldom progress in as well as she, Looks down on all our sex o'erbearingly, And leaves the field to lovely Lady Blanche, Who, though she smiles on courtship, looks as cold On matrimony as her scornful friend ; 'While troops besiege her." Lady BlaneLe is a finished coquette ; she has, how ever, once been touched when, disguised as a yeoman's daughter, she went toa certain goldsmith's to make pur chases, and th ere saw that ,eoldstnith's son, and won his heart. She recogn i ses the goldsmith's son in the person of Colonel Blount, who still dearly loves the yeoman's daughter, but does not recognise her in the fashionable Lady Blanche. Sir Philip fancies that he loves the Lady 'Diana*, and so firm is his faith in the old maidism of Lady Anne, that he seeks her advice how to woo the Lady Blanche. She advises him to dress less and study more, undertakes to superintend his studies, and, to r e his own words, makes him from nothing what is— a man. The result may be easily guessed— they fall d esperately in love with each other, he forgets Lady Blanche, she consents to love, honour, a nd obey, an d t h us end her visions of single blessed s. Meanwhile Lady Blanche endeavours to cap tivate the Colonel, but without success ; he still cherishes the remembrance of the yeoman's daughter, and although Blanche assumes male attire and forces herself thus disguised into his company, she has no idea that the yeoman's daughter is the object of his affection, although she ascertains that he loves not her as Lady Blanche, and is very miserable in consequence. Turn we now to the fortunes of the Colonel's brother John. The old goldsmith has given up his business to his worthy son, " who sells off stock and trade and quits the shop," and becomes a frequenter of race courses and Places of amusement, where his v an ity l ays hi m open to commonest observers. He meets with Master Robert, and hearing Robert addressed after the fashion of " High Life Below Stairs," by his master's title, scrapes ac 9a4intance with him, and fancies that he is the intimate iof th e veritable Sir Philip, and of his goodness prays an n troducti on to some lady he thinks may suit him. Ro ,Dertintroduces him t o Ch ar l otte (Mrs. Humby), Lady B lanche' s maid, as Lady Blanche, and lest she should by him as pl a i n M aster Blount, he assumes, D.Y Robert's desire, the title of Colonel Blount. Blanch e is confiding her sorrows to Lady Anne, when Jane (Miss Lee), Lady Anne's maid, enters, and re• blinds her mistress that she has given her leave to spend the afternoon with Charlotte, and, in answer to her rnistress, tells her it is a wedding, and that she believes Charlotte is about to marry Colonel Blount. Lady Blanche determines to be present at the nuptials, in order to satisfy herself as to the fact, and to escape de tection attires herself as the yeoman's maid. It is need less to say that when the Colonel recognises the yeo man's maid in Lady Blanche, he tak es h er i n a l l humility and th an kf u l ness and love ; while John, on whom no serious design has been ever en tertained by Charlotte, after being well laughed at for his folly, is by the intercession of Thomas pardoned by his father and mother, whose society he had cut as Much too vulgar for the aristocratic alliance he had in perspective. The comedy is replete with exquisite rietry, and sound and healthy and manly poetry too. eke as an exampl e th e f o ll ow i ng reply of Colonel Blount to the question of Lady Blanche:-- " What is a battle ?" " Glory' Madam, • a ju s t ca use ; In but at the best bought dearly When men destroy their brother men, Like the Fraw e d in the image of their common Maker." .

ACCIDENT AT THE VICTORIA THEATRE. ng. were — t h t e h rolvn neighbourhood a s t of at e l o N f ' a theterl oo - roa Y d es and ter vicinity,Yesterday eve i Providence, would ut most alarm and consternation , aris in g from an accident, which, but for the interference of a have been attended with the most calamitous and dis tressing results. That an immense number of lives have not been sacrificed is a matter of astonishment to every person, although that the results will be fatal in m ore than one or two instances, is placed beyond a doubt, when it is stated that the middle flight of stairs leading to the gallery of the Victoria Theatre fell without giving the slightest notice, crowded with a dense number of human beings. The following are the particulars of the accident :—About a quarter to .si4 o'clock R. Mortlock, the constable on duty at the Gallery entrance, opened the doors, when a tremendous rush was made by men, women, and children to obtain an eligible position on the stairs, so that they might be enabled to obtain front seats, and at this period there could not have been less than three hundred persons on the various flights of stairs. The money-taker having entered his box, proceeded to take the price of admission from those on the upper part of the stairs, when a pressure from the lower part was made. On a sudden a loud crash was heard, followed instantaneously by piercing shrieks, and at the same instant, about fifty persons disappeared. The cries which arose were most heart-rending, and which were re-echoed through the building, that the place was falling. To add to the alarm, those below rushed to the door, and in the struggle which took place to get out, the multitude fell over each other, and for a few moments blocked up the outlet. The inhabitants rushed from their houses, and, assisted by the police, began to drag the people out, and in a short time succeeded in getting a free egress for those who were on the lower flight of stairs. As soon as this was accomplished, Mortlock, Ballanger, Percy, " Joe the gas-man," and the police constables of the A division on duty, at the the hazard of their own lives, commenced removing the fallen timbers and extricating the persons underneath. Children were actually taken up and thrown into the road to the by-standers, while those who were injured were conveyed to the surgeons,' Mr. Sewell, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Cock, Mr. Warboys, and the other medical men in the neighbonrhood. To the shop of Mr. Sewell alone there were fifteen persons taken, and amongst thorn was a sawer of the name of Clayton, residing in Bours•yard, Holborn. So severe were the injuries which the poor fellow received internally that nearly two hours elapsed before he was brought to his senses, and for some time Mr. Sewell considered he was dead. A young woman, named Mary Field, living in Pitt's-street, Tottenham court-road, was injured about the hips. A little boy, about 12 years of age, living in Potter's-yard, Waterloo-road, had his lower left rib broken. The most extraordinary part is, that although this dense mass of persons tell about 30 feet, not a single life was lost. The cause of the accident appears to have been occasioned by the supporters of the stairs giving way, from being in a rotten state. Shortly after the accident had occurred Mr. Osbaldiston arrived, and upon being made ac quainted with the calamitous event gave directions for every attention to be paid to the sufferers, and also stated his intention to pay their medical bills, and also to compensate those who required it. A number of persons subsequently entered the gallery by the pit en trance, and proceeded to witness the entertainments as if nothing had occurred. The number of persons, more or less injured, is supposed to be between fifty and sixty, several of them being females and children. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING:—.-Her Ma- jesty passed an ex'cel!ent night, and vvaa sufficiently im proved in health this afternoon to be enabled to take a short carriage airing in the Great Park, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who drove her Ma jesty. No day is now fixed for the departure of the Court from Windsor ; but it is expected that her Majesty may prolong her stay at the Castle until Monday next—at least that is the day at present " named" for proceeding to town. Immediately upon the symptoms of the indisposition of the Queen mani festing themselves on Saturday evening, the presence of Mr. Brown, of this town, surgeon to the Royal House hold, was commanded at the Castle, where Mr. Brown remained in attendance during the whole of that night, and until past six o'clock yesterday morning. Various conjectures are hazarded for the Queen prolonging her stay at the Castle until so late a period, under the cir cumstances, as the day named for the departure of the Court, Monday next. The rumour is current at the Castle, that her Majesty has expressed no objection to an event so highly interesting and important to the nation as the accouchement of the Sovereign taking place at Windsor. Her Majesty, upon her return from her drive this afternoon, appeared to be in excellent spirits. Some very curious relics of antiquity have been recently dug up in a field in the possession of J. T. Greme, Esq., near - Winchester. They consist of two antique jars and a curious drinking cup, of great anti quity, and in a perfect state. The drinking cup is evi dently of Roman manufacture, as are also, probably, the jars. The articles are now in the possession of Mr. H. Drew, of the High-street. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH. A letter written on the 2d of July was forwarded to Calcutta via Marseilles, by the overland mail of the sth of that month, reached its destination by the express from Bombay, on the morning of the 17th of August ; the bill it enclosed was cashed, and a return remittance was made by Messrs. Cockerell and Co., of that city, the same evening, arriving in London on the morning of the Bth instant, making a total of ninety-five days for correspondence out and home with Calcutta —unexampled for rapidity even in the annals of steam. RIGHT OF PEERS TO VOTE.—At Marylebone on blonday the claim of Lord Bridport to vote for the house, No. 12, Wimpole-street, was opposed on the part of the Liberals. Messrs. Ivimey and Allen, in support of their objections, cited the opinions and decisions of Mr. Falconer, the Barrister, who had revised the list of voters for the borough of Marylebone for the two pre vious years, and who invariably disallowed the claims of Lord Bridport and all other Peers to vote. They also referred to the recent decision of Mr. Arnold in the case of Lord Dinorben and other Peers during the present registration in Westminster. Mr. Coventry (the Revising Barrister) said he had maturely con sidered the subject, and he took a widely different view of the case from his Learned Friends. It was a mere resolution of the House of Commons that no Peer should be allowed to interfere. There was no law is existence whatever to prohibit a peer from voting, or from his being placed in a list of voters for any city or borough in which he might reside. At all events, he considered there was no authority given to a Re vising Barrister to interfere in the matter, and there fore in all such cases he should feel himself justified in allowing the claim. The claim, which will admit the right of fourteen other Peers resident in Maryle bone to be on the register, and which had been pre viously struck out, was allowed. The result of the re ♦ision will not be made up until the lists of the several parishes are completed; but at the conclusion of yester day's proceedings it was understood to be greatly in favour of the Reformers. THE METROPOLITAN ROADS.—On Monday a meeting of the inhabitant rate-payers of the parish of Hammersmith was held, pursuant to public notice, "to receive a communication from the Brentford Gas Com pany relative to discontinuing the lighting on the Me tropolis Turnpike-roads after the 7th instant, and to take such steps thereon as may be deemed advisable." The Vicar (the Rev. Mr. Attwood) was in the Chair. In the course of his address the Chairman stated, that of late years the tolls along the Kensington and Brentford Consolidated Roads had fallen off to the extent of 16,0001., and that the Commissioners had, in conse quence, taken high legal opinions as to their obligation to continue the lighting, which opinions were decidedly that they were not compelled to do so. The expense of lighting the Kensington and Brentford Consolidated Trust was 2,0001. ; and the tolls on those roads were at the present moment let at 2,0001. less than the expense incurred in repairing them. After a great deal of dis cussion, a motion to the effect that it was desirable that the lights on the high-road should be continued ' • and also that other parts of th e p ar i s h w hi c h could with pro priety be lighted should be so, was carried by a large majority, as was also a motion of Mr. Miller for the ap pointment of a Committee to confer with other parishes, and report to a future meeting. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.--The season continues to be wet beyond all yrecedent, an in terval of twenty-four hours without xain being quite a rarity; Although all the corn crops are gathered in the lower parts of this county, there is still a considerable quantity of oats and some wheat out in the hilly dis tricts, much of which will never ripen, whilst that which does will only be fit for feeding cattle and pigs. The potato crop is suffering greatly from the continued wet, thousands of acres being quite rotten, or so soft and watery that they will not keep through the winter. No one can wonder at this who is acquainted with the wretched drainage which generally exists in Lancitshire and Cheshire, and who remembers that we have hardly had a week of dry weather since June. The only thing that seems to flourish under this incessant fall of rain, is the after-grass, which is more abundant this year than it has been at any time for many years preceding.— Liverpool Times. THE WEATHER.—Since our last the weath e r has continued to be the reverse of what is either agree able or useful for the gathering in of the remainder of the grain crops or the progress of the potatoe harvest. Rain, arid--a close unwholesome haze, have more fre quently prevailed than breeze or sunshine, and very little has been done during the last few days to effect a clearance of what remains in the fields.—Glasgow Herald. TRIGONOMETRICAL SURVEY.—For the last fortnight a party of a dozen or fourteen of her Majesty's sappers and miners have been engaged—as Fisted by a number of labourers from the country—in carrying to the top of Benlawers materials for lodgings to themselves and to the officers to be employed in the trigonometrical survey of Scotland. The bivouacks are now completed, and the business of the survey is forthwith to commence under Licuts. Hornby and Robinson, of the Royal En gineers. DEATII OF D R . COWAN.—II ;.3 wi th the deepest pain we have this morning to announce the death of our accomplished and philanthropic townsman, Dr. Robert Cowan, Professor of Medical Jurisprudence in the University of Glasgow, which melancholy and un expected event took place on Saturday night, about eleven o'clock. Dr. Cowan had been for some time in rather delicate health, and, we believe, intended to have spent a portion of the ensuing winter in the island of Malta ; but nothing had occurred to lead his friends to anticipate the melancholy change that was so soon to happen. As a medical man, Dr. Cowan occupied a high place in this city, and, as a citizen, few of late years have done so much to awaken the attention of the public to the amelioration of the physical condition of our suffering population.—Glasgow Argus.- THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND The following letter, on the Veto Question, has been addressed to a Scotch paper, by the Lord Advocate :- 52, Park-street, Oct. 5, 1841. SIR-I yesterday received a copy of your paper of Ist October (by whom sent I know not), having a marking opposite to an article entitled " County of Bute Election." This article appears to me to be cal culated to produce an inaccurate impression' of the im port of what I said ; a circumstance the:less to be owondered occasion a c a t , s i a o s n b a e n r d e t w h e e r e a r n t i o c e, re porters whieh w i a n attendance nevera t en duae com municated to me, must consequently have been the fruit of subsequent recollection on the part of some in dividual present. This article bears—that I, " in conclusion, briefly referred to the all-important Church question, and as sured his hearers that it was one which, in his opinion, required the most serioui/and mature consideration, and not to be hastily takeh'up and decided upon —nor would it be so—that he—had been only three hours in London after receiving his late appointMent, but that a portion of these three hours was spent by him with a distinguished member of the Government in the diseus• sloe of this question, and he needed only farther add, that it was the intention of the Government to which he had the honour to belong, to prepare and bring for ward, not a partial or instalment measure, as the Duke of Argyll's 13ill was characterised by many of the mem bers of the General Assembly who advocated that sure, but such a measure as would ensure a satisfactory, full, and final settlement of this long-protracted and painful question, and place the Church of Scotland upon a sure and lasting foundation, securing to it all its undoubted rights and privileges, and that nothing should be wanting or left undone by him as an individual, or as a member of the Government, in aiding and assist ing, promoting, and carrying through such a measure, and which, he hoped, would be occomplished to the satisfactien of every reasonable person in the country." Now, what occurred was this :----After alluding to the unhandsome treatment which I bad received from some of the Non-Intrusion party in the Church on occasion of my last election, and adverting to the diffi culties with which the present Government was sur rounded, and the apparent disposition on the part of the country to allow Ministers sufficient time for the consideration of measures proper to be adopted in such an exigency, I said that I trusted that something of the same spirit would influence my countrymen, and the electors of Bute in particular, in regard to the Church question, in which they took so deep an interest. That it ought to be recollected that, however much the great importance of that ques tion might be felt, it merely affected a portion tion of the United Kingdom, and only a part, though a very large one, of the inhabitants of that portion. That it had, therefore, uo claim of preference over those more extensive measures which concerned the whole Empire, embracing Scotland as a part. Again, that the difficul ties attending the Church question were very great, and required the most mature consideration. That such I were the difficulties that no one had ventured to sug gest a perfect remedy for them. Some, indeed, were willing to take the Duke of Argyll's all as an instal ment ; but no Government ought, and I was persuaded the present would never countenance a measure of that description, or one which should not, if possible, ope rate a complete remedy ; so as the peace of the Church might not again be disturbed. That all that I could assure them of was, that the question would be fully, deliberately, and impartially considered ; and that I did this the more confidently, us I had ascertained from one of her Majesty's Government that it would meet with such consideration. That with this they ought, in my opinion, to rest satisfied, and patiently to allow the time requisite for that consideration. I added, that no efforts on my part ever had, or would on this occa sion, be awanting to promote what should appear to be the real interests of the Church of Scotland. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, WM. RAE. STATE OF TRADE and COMMERCE Week °ll raotsteheidb.epgeirnlbin.gfoorfxkl'anslterican was '.r hver y ede m b r a i n s k d faonrdc opri ces tt descriptions, but the Manchester goods market of Tues day was not so active as those of the two proceeding weeks, and the demand in consequence fell off towards the end, though the rise in prices was sustained. The autumn demand for twist for Russia and Poland, ends this week, the 16th being the latest day for the fulfilment of the contracts, and it is a matter of the (knout interest to see what state the trade will 4 84411110 when that tem porary cause of activity ceases to exist. Hit should con tinue to be favourable, the very strong fears for the coming winter, which are now entertained, will be much diminished. Although the duty on foreign wheat has now risen to 16s. Bd. a quarter, and the averages have fallen consi derably, the price of good wheat is advancing in all the principal markets of the country, and it is generally be lieved amongst those best acquainted with the corn- ' trade, that it will rise much higher 'before Christmas. The decline in the averages is occasioned by the inferior quality of the wheat which is now coming to market, which is in general lean and damp, the latter defect be• ing greatly increased by the recent wet weather, which has much retarded the usual drying in the stack. The yield is, however, so deficient, as to force up prices in spite. of the quality. We know from some of the best &ritual in this neighbourhood, that the yield of their wheat-3a-ex ceedingly small—much less so than they expeeted before it was thrashed. In addition and aggravation of this is the failure of the potato° crop, which is now as certained to be general in England and Ireland, and which in Lancashire and Cheshire is almost uni versal. Butchers' meat also continues very dear, and must be dearer, as the price of sheep and cattle is in creasing rapidly at present, owing to the shortness of the supply. We are informed that there is likely to be a decrease of thirty thousand head in the number of sheep brought to the Liverpool market this year, in compari son with last, and that the supply of cattle is also quite unequal to the demand. This arises partly from the disease amongst sheep and cattle, which has been so prevalent for the last two years in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and partly from the ill-judged efforts of the Legislature to force the cultivation of wheat and other descriptions of grain, by protective duties. If it had not been for the wonderful improvement which has taken place in the breed of Irish cattle and sheep during the last ten years, which enables the graziers of that country to bring heavier animals to market at two years old than they formerly could at four—beef and mutton would now have been nearly, if not quite, a shilling a pound in Lancashire. —Liverpool Times. FURTHER EVILS OF WilE CORN. LAWS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—The public papers have recently shown, from a Parliamentary Report, that the amount of accounts an nually adjusted at what is called the London bankers' Clearing-house, extends to the enormous sum of nearly one thousand millions of pounds sterling. Now this im mense sum only forms a fractional part of the annual returns of the British mercantile and trading commu nity—is merely that part which comes, as it may be said collaterally, through the hands of a part of the great London bankers' hands. Yet from this statement some idea may be formed of the gigantic magnitude of all commercial returns throughout the country. From contemplating this subject, the magnitude of the evil resulting from fluctuations in the price of provisions is forcibly brought to light. Take the subject of bread corn alone, and assume that the quantity annually con sumed in the United Kingdom is 20,000,000 quarters, which is not far from the fact, then it is plain, if the price of this commodity be 20s. per quarter dearer in one year than in another, 20,000,0001. sterling must be ab stracted from the usual channels of retail trade, em bracing the shopkeepers of every description, and is forced into the moro restricted channels of the dealers in bread. That is to say, if the average price of corn through any one year be 50s. per quarter, and the succeeding year the same average price be 705., the consumption remain ing the same, the difference to the public must be twenty million poundt sterling expended on this article alone, one year more than another. But this sum is abstracted from the annual returns of every description of retail tradesmen in greater or lesser amounts ; and through their lessened returns its influence again and again finds its way to every member of the mer cantile and manufacturing classes above them, who all experience the effect of slackness of business, diminished orders, and loss of trade. But this is not all; for seeing that there is so vast a sum passing through the bankers' clearing-house as one thousand millions, and that only a fraction of the general mass of mercantile returns, it is impossible to doubt but that the simple twenty millions diverted from general trade into one particular trade, owing to a rise of price, as above explained, must cause a diminution in the aggregate annual returns passing through the hands of the commercial community generally of, at the very lowest computation, ten times, if not twenty times, the net amount so diverted—for who shall say how often any given Bank note exchanges hands in 'the course of a year, or who will determine how much would be spent if the ability to spend existed? Where fore I conceive it is all but demonstrable that an advance in the price of bread-corn of only 20s. per quarter must Cause a loss of mercantile returns to the general com mercial body throughout the United Kingdom of at least two hundred millions per annum. And all tiiis diminution of general trade, it must be borne in mind, falls exclusively on what is known, and prized so highly:t i e n t thing the stathaneffduse h ourly , y as the ho me t ra d e. All this arises from fluctuations in canthes um price pbet on of and a n dispensed articlewith, whichit h is beingl the ic i h l a f olffe. con h o this cause most of the existing distress in the country is to be ch a r ge d ; an d to this cause mainly is to be traced the derang e d state o f the national finance. In the year 1835, the average price of wheat was 395. 4d.; in 1836, 48s. 65.; whilst in the year 1839 the average price Was 70s. Bd.;, and in 1840 665. 4d. ; thus establish' greater dfference than I have assumed, and thus reinidgera rng manifest , the immensity of the evil inflicted by sucl enormous fluctuation in price, which fluctuation in by an is fostered, aggravated, and rendered unavoidable b p y express Act of Parliament, which refuses permission to correct the same, by insisting that the labour, capital, and skill of one class alone shall be depended on for procuring the needful supply, and by debarring all others from exerting their labour, capital, and skill to the same end, until after the evils I have enumerated and exhi bited have been in full operation, to the sorrow and suf fering of countless thousands. I am not aware whether the great question of the Corn-laws has been previously looked at in this point of yi e w, which, however, I conceive is one deserving of attention from every practical man of b us i ness.—l am, &c., C.

It is evidently written by a man imbued with religious feelings, and endeavouring from the light of Scripture to ascertain why the virtuous poor should be subjected to such unmerited suffering in a land flowing with plenty. When the people find they are oppressed with taxes, and cannot obtain feed to satisfy the cravings of hunger, while the nobles and clergy, and all the higher classes have abundance, are they to blame in quoting Scripture as an authority against kingly government ? The conversation between the two boys gives a true picture of the condition of tens of thousands throughout the country—honest men willing to work, but unable to find employment_— To THE EDITOR - OF THE SUN. Silt —A circumstance came to my knowledge the other day which brought a passage of Scripture to my mind. if you will insert it in your paper, with a few observations, you will oblige.—Last week as my daugh ter was walking from Merstham to Reigate, two boys were walking behind her, about thirteen or fourteen years of age ; one said to the other, " I have never suffered so much in my life as I have this last fortnight. HI could get some work to get food, I would not care about having any place to sleep. lam detimnined to go to gaol, I will not go so any longer." The other said, "Not go to gaol ?"—" Yes, I shall then have fuod and a place to sleep." Chap. xxx. of Proverbs, 7', 8, 9 verses.— •' Two things have I required of thee, deny me them not ; give me neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with food convenient for me ! lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, who is the Lord ; or lest I he poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain." Sir, a wise Government will endeavour so to rule, that all may be so situated as not to place any one in poverty, to be tempted to steal—or rich, as to forget God. When God brought the children of Israel out of Egypt into the land of Canaan, every family had land, and if they borrowed money on it, every seven years it went back to the family again! so that none could get the land from their poor brother ; but Samuel told them if they had a king how he would serve them ! he would take the best of their land, and give it to his favourites ! So that the king's favourites have got almost all the land ; they have forgotten God, because they are rich ! lam con fident there will be no prosperity for the people till kingly Governments are done away.

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE SAVINGS BANKS: Sir Robert Peel has attempted to destroy the force of the representations which have been made respecting the existence of distress in this part of the country, by making some statements respecting the amount of pay ments into, and withdrawsl.s from, the Savings Banks. The fact is, and Sir Robert Peel ought to have known it— indeed, it is probable he did know it ; but, speaking with a special object, it did not suit his purpose to acknow ledge the circumstance—that June is not at any time a month of large deposits, but is usually a month of large repayments. In June, 1837, for example, the deposits in the Manchester Savings Bank were 3,740/. ; but the repayments were no less than 7,6291., thus exceed ing the deposits by no less than 3,8891. In August, 1837, however—as in August this year—the tables were turned; the deposits were 6,116, and the with drawals 4,961/., or 1,155/. less than was deposited. In this case, we may observe, there was no change of Ad ministration to account for so remarkable 'an alteration. There are, however, several obviou. reasons for such a state of things. Many of the ilepositors in Savings Banks are, in June, retaining what they can spare from their wages, for the pav'inent of their rents, and other periodical charges, which come upon the:n about that season of 6 " year. And, in most districts of the coml. t q' Ps :ust be remembered, that July and August are ul '.oths of considerable extra earnings, from piece-work harvesting, which have hardly begun in June, or, if they have, are then absorbed in pr e p ar i ng f or th e ordinary Midsummer payments, of whi c h a l mos t ever y family has more or less to make. But Sir Robert Peel, finding his statements of Fri day objected to, returned to the subject on Thurs day last, with some more recent information. He says, it had been complained that the returns for the present year, which he had already laid before the House had particular reference to the agricaltural districts. " On the present occasion he had made inquiry into the returns in a manufacturing district, and he had se lected a district of the utmost importance, namely, Manchester and Stockport ; and the result of the in formation he obtained was as follows :—During the months of July, August, and September, in the years 1837, 1838, a..d 1839, the average of deposits amounted to 22,6001., and the amount of withdrawals was 21,0301,, leaving a balance in favour of deposits of 1,5704 Io the years 1830 and 1840, taking the ave rage for the same three months, the amount of deposits was 24,3001., while the amount of withdrawals was 23,800/., leaving a balance of only 509/. In 1841, for the same three months, the amount of deposits was 28,1031., and the amount of withdrawals was 25,356/., leaving a balance in favour of deposits of 2,747/ " Did no cause for this difference strike Sir Robert Peel ? Did he not know, or did it not suit him to state, that in 1837 there were three contested elections, within the circuit which his returns embrace, viz., in Manchester, in Salford, and in Stockport ; and that at about the same period in this year, at least on the 30th June and the 2d July, there were also contested elec tions in the same boroughs ? These occurrences are, we have no doubt, quite sufficient to account for the greater average increase of the deposits in June, July, and August, 1837, 1838, 1832, over those in the same months of 1839 and 1840 ; and again, for the magni tude of the dopes tg, as compared with repayments, in the same three months of 1841. It may he observed further, however, that both in July, 1837, and July, 1841, there were five Saturdays, which, being the ge neral day on which wages are paid, is here, and we have no doubt in many or most other parts of the king dom, a day on which a much larger proportion than or dinary of deposits are always made. —Manchester Guardian. COMMISSIONER OF GREEN- WICH HOSPITAL. The appointment of the Honourable Charles Hope to a Commissionership of Greenwich Hospital, not vacant by death or resignation, is the commence ment of the good old Tory policy, and forms a pro per commentary on an article which appeared in the last Quarterly Review, entitled " The Old and New Ministers." In alluding to the changes and ap pointments made by the late Administration in June last, and, among others, to that bestowed on the Member for the city of Aberdeen, the Reviewer in forms us " That Mr. Bannerman wanted a place —a permanent place; and there were two or three chances that the Greenwich one might be of that comfortable class. Sir Robert Peel, in his known moderation and disposition to indulgence, might be induced to wink at the flaw in Mr. Bannerman's title ; or, what was more likely, Mr. Bannerman, who was threatened with a contest, might be beaten ; and then, being out of Parliament, Sir Ro bert would surely not be so hard-hearted as to remove him , or, finally, one vote being no longer quite so vJuable as it had lately been, Mr. Bannerman, a very loyal gentleman, might, perhaps, not be disposed to offer any factious opposition to her Majesty's Govern ment, in which case all would be safe and snug. We know not how far these surmises may be well founded, but we do know that they afford the only explanation we can imagine for the notorious facts, and they are certainly not inconsistent with the practice of the very worst jobbing administration which ever existed, and which only existed by jobbing I" The " known moderation and disposition to indulgence" of Sir Robert Peel has been strictly exemplified in Mr. Bannerman's case : that" very loyal gentleman" has as yet had no opportunity of offering any opposition, factious or otherwise, to her Majesty's Government, but he has been, nevertheless, dismissed ; and, if report speaks truly, not very ceremoniously. As we consider this disposition of moderation and indulgence" on the part of the Premier to be somewhat unusual, we have been at pains to ascertain under what tenure a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital holds the appointment, and we find during the Secretaryship of the Right Honour able and Learned Gentleman Mr. Wilson Croker an Act was passed for the better management of the Hospital. Five Commissioners were appointed, two of them ex officio ; the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, and Paymaster of the Navy, without salaries, and three others who were named in the Act, whose sala ries are provided to be paid from the funds of the Hos pital, and not from the Treasury, as Government official salaries are paid. The Lords of the Admiralty have the appointment of all officers connected with the Hospital, and have the power to dismiss them for misconduct, with the exception of three Com missioners, who h o ld th e i r appointments by letters patent f rom th e S overe i gn , and during her Majesty's pleasure,. as all such patents are held. The " moderation and indulgence" of Sir Robert Peel, therefore, may prompt him some morning to dismiss the gentlemen who were lately Mr. Bannerman's colleagues. But it will be said that Mr. Bannerman holds a seat in Parliament, which they do not, and was elected after accept ing the appointment. Lord Auckland, a Whig peer, one of the Commissioners named in the Act of 1829, continued to sit, aye, and to vote, in Par. !tame as he chose, while be held the same appointment. On the death of the late Mr. Creavy, Mr. Shell succeeded, and resigned on being appointed Vice- President of the Board of Trade ; when the Hon. W. Couper was appointed, and he resigned in June last, on being made a Lord of the Treasury. Mr. Bannerman succeeded, and was dismissed last Thursday. So much for a patent place, provided it is not held by a Tory ; and Sir Robert Peel has thus established a precedent which to any future Government may be found a very convenient one. Whether the member for Aberdeen intended to fol low Lord Auckland's example, or whether he ex pected, from the " known m o d erat i on " of the Pre mier, what the Right Honourable Baronet so ear nestly claims for himself, " a fair trial," we are not aware ; but his dismissal from an office, to which no administrative duties a re attached, could not be postponed until February, when the Honour aVe Gentleman might have judged of the great measures then to be propounded to Parliament, for fate had decreed that the Hon. Mr. Hope, brother to Lord Hopetoun, had also measures in contempla tion, which, unlike the affairs of the State, could not lie over till February. The Honourable Mr. Hope "wanted a place," such a one as would enable him to bring his matrimoial measures to maturity. Green wich Hospital was one of that comfortable class ; and if be could get it," as the Quarterly says, " all would be safe and snug." We know not how far this surmise may be well-founded, but we do , know th a t i t a ff ords the only explanation we can Imagine for the notorious fact. Thus commences the Tory regime, and, with Colonel Perceval's trans ference from the Treasury to a patent appointment may furnish material for the first chapter, to use the Quarterly's appropriate title, of the " Book of Job" of the Peel Administration. That its continued his tory may prove a useful lesson to future Governments we entertain but little doubt. —Chronicle. COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE CONTINENTAL STATES. We need cot seek further than the negotiations now pending beta een Holland and the Prussian Commercial League for a striking illustration of the feeling which pervades the Continent upon the sub ject of commercial relations. Financial considera tions induced the Government h s of the Prussian League to encourage the importation of colonial sugar at a moderate duty, in preference to protecting the home manufacture of sugar from beetroot ; and it was resolved to contract treaties with the maritime Powers upon this basis, which should appear to con tain a concession made to those states. Holland, however, which was likely to derive the greatest benefit from the change, refused to look upon the measure as a concession, it being evidently dictated by necessity, and would grant no reduction of duty upon German wares exported to her colonies. It is highly probable that upon examination it was found that the German manufacturers actually had nothing to export which could compete with the manufactures of Great Britain ; and Holland was and is bound by the treaty of 1825 to grant no concessions to other nations which she does not extend to Eng land. It would perhaps be going too far to ascribe the assignment of these motives as an excuse for her refusal 'to . a positi ve f ee li ng o f hostility on the part of Holland to ourselves, although the useless angry altercation kept up for some time by Lord Palmerston with the Dutch Government was likely enough to engender such a feeling. A simpler mo tive is nearer home in the desire of the Dutch to en courage their own manufactures, to which end no pains have been spared to induce manufacturers to emigrate from Belgium, and thus to render the commercial system of Holland, which was previously complicated enough, still more perplexed and intricate. The German manufacturers, blind to the impossibility of exporting to foreign markets with advantage, while they were unable to supply the quanti ties required at home at sufficiently moderate prices to exclude foreign competitors, immediately raised an outcry against their Governments for having betraed their interests by concluding the treaties in question. United with the sugar refiners, who had more reason to complain, because the duty on refined sugar was reduced in a greater propor tion than that upon raw sugar, they finally com pelled the Prussian Government to announce to the Dutch that the treaty would expire with the first year, a clause allowing such a declaration to be made having been inserted in the treaty. A report was, however, circulated that the low duty was to be retained in the tariff of the Prussian League, which was revised last year, but has not as yet been made public ; and this perhaps accounts for the si lence with which the Dutch received the notifica tion, and for the rapid progress made in the nego tiations for the accession of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the Prussian League. This last treaty was drawn up and even signed by the Pleni potentiaries appointed to conclude it, when on a sudden the King of Holland refused to ratify it, and estab lished a commission for the purpose of making further inquiries into the commercial interests of the Grand Duchy. The reason assigned for this sudden change is the report, which has recently been spread, that on the expiration of the treaty of 1840, differential duties will be imposed upon colonial wares imported through the Hanseatic harbours and those im ported through Holland ; but, whatever the cause was, the refusal of :the King to ratify the treaty has excited much bad blood in Germany, and a portion of the press has renewed its exhortations to dictate compliance by force to a Power whose re sources do not seem to entitle it to be treated with ordinary courtesy. In the meantime Holland finds itself obliged to show a disposition to accede to the commercial systems of France and Belgium, and would find no full indemnity in the French market for the loss of the direct trade with Germany ; of the indirect trade through the Hanseatic port she of court e could not be deprived. Looking upon this situation of affairs abstractedly from British interests, it would appear a just punish ment to the States of the Prussian League for the iso lating tendency of their policy, if Holland acceded to the French Belgian system. The Prussian tariff, which appeared originally with an especial bad grace just at the moment when the other nations of Eu rope were awakening to a sense of the good policy of relaxing commercial restrictions, and emanating from a state which had some preten sions to influence as a cultivator of intelligence, may be said to have retarded the mutual under standing between the leadieg Powers of Europe a full quarter of a century. The accession of Holland to vile French Belgian system would in a great measure neutralise the effect of a commercial union between France and Belgium alone. It would then be a treaty of reconciliation between Holland and Belgium on a footing of mutual independence, which would be cemented by the ad vantages which both derived from France, while it would contribute to make the former Powers once more politically independent of their restless neigh bour. If Prussia is jealous of such an union, let her adopt a powerful remedy, which she has at all times in her hands, and by moderating her tariff annul the exclusive advantages which these lands proposed to grant to each other. As commercial relations have now obtained an unusual wei t ht in the political system, isolation in commerce is the: surest way to induce a loss of influence, and the most dangerous discovery which a country can make is, that its neighbours can do without it. Whether at a moment when such important ques tions are once more set afloat, an approximation on the part of Great Britain to Holland would not also be both practicable and desirable, is a question de serving of a more detailed inquiry. Materials have been furnished in an article in the last number of the British and Foreign Review, which afford a comprehensive view of the European sugar market, with its consumpti on , an d t h e fl uctuat i ons in price which have taken place for the last ten years. The object of the writer is to show that the low price of Java sugar i s p ar tly t o b e ascr ib e d to t h e forcing system of importation, and al so indu c ed, both by th e necessities of the Dutch Government, and the false position of the Dutch Trading Company towards the Government. The remedy suggested in the abstrac tion of a large qua n tity o f sugar f r om th e continen tal market by a reduction of the differential duty in England —a concession which might be made in exchange for a free admission of our manufactures into the rising colonies of Holland, which have a population not much inferior in numbers to the United States. Such an abstraction it is con tended would raise the average price on the Con tinent to a figure which would be injurious neither to our East or West India producers, as is /proved by the average prices of former yea-s, while a step of the kind would give an impulse to trade which must be productive of ex t ens i ve and highly beneficial results. It is know n t h at an influ ential party in Holland is very desirous of being emancipated from the yoke of the C ompany as it at present stands, and the subject will be mooted in the next, if not in the present , s ess i on o f the States -General. But the subject is important enough to b e separate l y considered ; here it is enough t o s h ow how anxiously the continental states cling to any petty advantage from which they c annot b e bought off, and how far they are removed f rom l arge and enlightened notions of free trade. POST -OFFICE MON EY - ORDERS.--.-The adop tion of this mode of remitting small sums of money although attended with incalculable benefit to the public, has nut been unattended with inconvonince to the depart ment. That branch of the General Post-office is to all intents a bank of issue and deposit—the aggregate sum daily paid and received is quite incredible. The great pressure of business has, however, been diminished, owing to the district post-offices being empowered to pay money -orders of small amount, but to entitle the party in whose favour the order is drawn, it must be specially directed. There is at present great risk in remitting cash, the letter-carriers being no longer required to de mand receipts for money letters. MADLY.

A MAN BURIED IN A CHALK-PIT.--On Friday a remarkable accident occurred at Patinbourne, Kent. It appears that a man named White, in the em ploy of a Mr. Cozens, of Canterbury, was engaged in digging chalk, when a mass fell over and buried him, and he remained so for nearly two hours before he was dis covered. He was then extricated, and had not been seri. ously injured. i. '~~i MORNING SITI4'.-: FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETT4 WHITEHALL, OCT. 9, 1841. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Right Hon.
