LONDON: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1841. In the Times of Wednesday therevas a in n ela boratethe article to prove that fluctuations currency, not the Corn-laws, are the real cause of the existing depression of trade. The article concluded by saying, " our statement is so plain that a child may understand it, and so undeni able that 'no one will attempt to refute it." We might not, perhaps, have undertaken the task had not our Contemporary yesterday boasted that Lord STANLEY and lie quite agree as to the real causes of the existing depression. But Lord STANLEY only imitated Sir ROBERT PEEL, and having stolen one of the Right Hon. Baronet's mannekins, he decorated it after his own glib fashion, in order to beguile the Lancashire free holders. The Times, Lord STANLEY, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, in fact, agree in ascribing the depression, to the fluctuations in the currency, and re are stimulated to notice the unrefutable article of the Times by the expectation of bring ing sor re discredit on the theory of the Baronet and the Lord by exposing the errors of the jour , nalist. PA PElPaasing over a quantity of the u sua l vitupe ration of our Contemporary, we c ome to hi s fi rst atattfrinent of a fact : " We need go no further back than 1818," says the Times., "In that year the Bank of England, encouraged by successive reprieves, had launched o ut as if the day of reckohino- would never arrive. We speak from memory. but we h:lieve that its issues were nearly 30,000.0001. The constluenees were, abundance of money, high prices, eug r speculation, plenty of employment, and all the other concomitants of prosperity.' " Now, what are the facts as to the issue of the Bank of England in 1818, and previous years, and what was the prosperity of that and the following year? According to Mr. MActmLocn's Dic tionary, the issues of the Bank of England were as follows : In August 1818, 26,602,8371.; in February, 28,279,043/. ; in August, 1817, 30,099,908/. ; in February, 27,058,578/. ; in August, 1816, 27,075,8541.; and in February, 25,680,0001. It was not, therefore, in 1819 that the Bank launched out, for in that year its issues had decreased very nearly 2,000,000/., and did not equal the issues of 1816. That is false state ment the first. Yesterday the Times seems to have become aware of its error, but instead of contradicting it, and so refuting the unrefutable article it had built on a gross blunder, it merely said that in 1818 the circulation of the Bank of England was 27,220,0001., thus convicting itself of an error of nearly one-tenth of the whole circula tion of the Bank, a sum more than equivalent to the average of those fluctuations from which the Times says all our commercial evils flow. Passing from 1818, the Times on Wednesday went on to say— The next year, in 1819, saw a sudden change. The Act for the resumption of cash payments passed; the Bank received notice to pay all its notes in gdd within three years, and it immediately began to contract its issues. General distress instantly ensued. The chief seats of trade were first affected ; hence the failures of that year in London and the other great towns, and the riots at Manchester and divers other places." Subsequent, then, to 1818, according to the Times, when the Bank launched out, there were abundance of money, high prices, eager specula tion, plenty of employment, and all the other concomitants of" prosperity," and yet before the end of the following year all this was completely changed, and great distress and riots ensued. This is a very short period for such a change ; but before a public journalist makes such a state ment, be is bound to consult some other records than those of his own memory and imagination. The Manchester riot took place on the 16th of August, 1819, or in less than a year after the commencement of the great prosperity arising from the Bank launching forth in 1818. On November 29th of that year, Mr. BENNET pre sented a petition from Manchester, which set forth " that great distress had long prevailed in Manchester and its neighbourhood ;" so that the great prosperity of the short period which intervened between the Bank launching out in 1818, and the riot of 1819—the disturbance of which prosperity is said to have been the cause of the riot---is a piece of invention on the part of the Times. But the whole paragraph displays intense igno rance in the leading Journal. The change which took place in 1819, so far as the Act for the re sumption of cash payment is concerned, was the very reverse from that described in the Times. The Bank of England, by the Act of 1818, the last Act for restraining cash pay ments before 1819, was bound to resume cash payments on the sth of July, 1820, and the Act of 1819, which the Times describes as causing the Bank, by obliging it to pay its notes in gold to restrict its issues, was not to accelerate but postpone that period. It is entitled "An Act to continue the restrictions contained in several Acts on payments in cash by the Bank of England until the Ist of May, 1823." Thus its effect was to put off the resumption of cash payments from July 5, 1820, at which period they were previously ordered to take place, to May 1, 1823.* Moreover, the Bank of England was under an obligation to pay certain of its outstanding notes of an earlier date than 1817 in the year 1819, and the Parliament no sooner met in that year than the merchants of London petitioned to have the Bank released from that obligation. Ac cordingly, the first act of the Committee of Secresy, which sat in 1819, on Bank affairs, was to recommend that an Act should be passed to restrain the Bank from paying these notes in gold. A Bill was forthwith brought in and passed at once through all its stages. Thus, in the early part of 1819, the Bank of England was relieved from an obligation immediately to pay its notes in gold, while the Times asserts that it was the creation of such an obligation in 1819 which was the cause of the Bank curtailing its issues, which curtailment of issues, according to the Times, was the cause of all the distress which prevailed in the next few subsequent years. This is a gross mistake. The reader will, perhaps, suppose that we have pointed out errors enough in one short paragraph, but they are more numerous - than the words. Instead of prosperity prevailing in 1818, as the Times asserts, Mr. TOOKE says (and his authority is better than that of the Times), " That, numerous and extensive failures began in the latter part of that year "—on the heels of the Bank launching out—" and con tinued, more or less, through the early part of 1819," &c.—Tooke on Prices, vol. 2, page 77. Then the distress of 1819, which the Times ascribes to the Act for the resumption of Cash Payments, took place before that Act was passed in June, which, at the same time, was an Act fur postponing, not accelerating, those payments. "Gradually," the Times proceeded to say, "the depression spread over the country. In 1820 and 1821, it reached the agriculturists. The year 1822 resounded with their complaints. At last, in 1823, the Government was in duced to relax in its resolve, and the Small Note Bill passed." Would not any one believe from this that the depression of 1819, which caused the riot at Manchester, as the Times says, continued in the towns as well as in the country? But what was the fact? In the year 1822, the Bank of Eng land's circulation was less than 18,000,000/, and lower than at any period between 1818 and 1323. At the commencement of that year, however, this was the language of the KING'S Speech : " I have the greatest pleasure in acquainting you that a considerable improvement has taken place in the course of the last year in the commerce and manufactures of the United Kingdom, and I can now state them to be, in their important branches, in a very flourishing condition." We will not now attempt to point out the causes of the agricultural distress in 1822 and 1823, for that would extend our observations too much ; we content ourselves with reminding the Times that at present the dispute concerns manufactur ing and not agricultural distress, that great ma nufacturing prosperity was combined in 1822 with a much limited Bank circulation. That single fact overthrows the whole theory of the Times. We might proceed through the " unrefutable" article, and show that every paragraph abounds in errors, blunders, and mis-statements, such as we have exposed, but this sample of the sack of rubbish which the Times seeks to palm off on the public as, genuine wholesome food will suffice• What is the real cause of commercial prospe rity and depression has certainly not been pointed out off-hand so clearly that a child may understand it by the Times, nor will that journal, in its new-born zeal for the bread-tax and the bread-taxers, persuade the manufacturing and mercantile community that the paper money dealers are the persons who doom them to want and death. Even if they were, the manufac turers have as good reason to demand the re- moval of that cause from the hand of the Legi;_ lature, and as good reason to condemn it for not immediately taking means at least to inquire into the cause of their distress, as if the Cora-law were at the bottom of the mischief. Till the Times adopted Sir ROBERT PEEL'S nostrum, and endeavoured on Wednesday to direct public indignation from the landowners to the paper-money dealers, we considered that journal as not having wholly passed over to the side of the bread-taxers. But tired apparently of not fully sharing the landlords' favours, and envious of the more successful Herald and Post, * See Second Report on the State of the Bank, in Hansard, vol. 40, p. 152, and p. 1,567, for the title of the Act. See also Lurd Hulland'i Speech, p. which are appropriate organs of the starvation party, it offered itself on Wednesday, armed and provisioned, ready to make war at its own charge, to do battle against the com merce of England. It starts as the willing guerilla of PEEL and the landownerS. It puts on the livery of the Starvation Ministry, and takes on itself the ignominious task of bolstering up those laws it has heretofore so zealously de nounced. Following the direction of Peel, it un dertakes to hunt Anti-Corn-law agitation to death for the service of its new masters. If it succeed no better on other occasions than on Wednesday it will only maim and bruize itself, - .gratifying the clodpoles it now serves, but it will not injure the cause of Corn-law abolition. In the House of Commons last night Sir J. EASTHOPE put himself very unnecessarily for ward as the advocate of aristocratic extravagance. The question was the retiring annuity of the VICE-CHANCELLOR. It was proposed that this ihould be 3,5001. Mr. EWART moved that it be 3,0001., which, as Mr. WAKLEY properly said, is 1,0001. too much ; 2,0001. a year would he ample. We know not how an elderly gen tleman can rationally and decently spend more. But neither this sum, nor even the large sum of 3,0001., equalled Sir J. EASTHOPE'S magnificent notions of the manner in which the Judges should be paid. He condemned the proposed reduction as paltry economy. Precisely such votes as that given, we presume, by Sir J. EAST HOPE, and such reasons as he urged, extending through every branch of the public service, at one time augmenting the pay of Judges, at an other increasing the salaries of officers of every description, civil and military, are the sources of the vast expenditure in the aggregate which falls so heavily on the national industry, and cripples the resources of the people. Though we like free trade as well as Sir J. EASTHOPE, we like ecom.my also in managing public affairs. Sir LEASTIMPE represents a constituency which suffers at this moment much distress, and as long as gentlemen ridicule economy as paltry that distress will never receive relief from .the Legislature. Does not Sir J. EASTHOPE see that by voting .salaries and pensions on the aristo cratic scale, he fosters in the aristocracy that desire for large incomes, which imposes the Corn-law on the community ? Is he not con vinced, too, that by taking a single farthing more from the people by taxes than is abso lutely necessary, he commits a gross injustice ? What he stigmatizes as paltry economy is com mon honesty, and we are mistaken in the suf fering and energetic electors of Leicester if they do not convince Sir J. EASTHOPE that if he hope to represent them in future he must be as care ful of the public money as he is of his own. One of the most numerous and respectable meetings ever held at Glasgow, assembled there on Wednesday, and unanimously agreed to me morialise her MAJESTY not to prorogue Parlia ment till the distress of the country had been inquired into. We shall give an abridged report of the proceedings when we can find room. Mr. OswALD, the Member for Glasgow, was in the Chair, having gone down from London to attend the meeting. Two clergymen addressed the assembly in eloquent and forcible speeches, while all who spoke deprecated in the strongest lan guage, the neglecting to relieve the people as pregnant with the greatest danger. A far greater number of persons would have collected had there been room, for many hundreds went away because they could not be accommodated. We some time ago expressed a hope that Glasgow might surpass Manchester, and if it has not it has at least equalled it on this occasion, and has given, in conjunction with its English sister, a heavy blow and great discouragement to mono poly and starvation. The dinner given, on the 21st instant, by the nhabitants of Brighton to the Directors and the Engineer of the London and Brighton Rail way, is a just tribute to great enterprize, perse verance, and skill. Perhaps no line in the king dom of equal length exhibited so many difficul ties. It has five tunnels, two of them more than a mile each, making the tunnelling altoge ther more than three miles and a quarter. The principal shaft of oue of them, the Clayton tunnel, is not less than 270 feet below the surface of the ground. Many of the cut tings are from 80 to 125 feet, and that at Mei stham not less than 180 feet deep. It has one magnificent viaduct, built at great ex pense, besides other great works, and this vast undertaking has been completed in little more than three years, and at less than twice the cost of Waterloo-bridge. Well might Mr. Has- TRICK, the engineer, on rising to make his short, modest speech, say, " I never in my life rose with prouder feelings than I do on this occasion." He had accomplished a great work, undismayed by the taunts of the ignorant public and difficulties in the line which lie did not anticipate. To the Directors and Share holders, too, no little prtise is due for the spirit with which they furnished means to carry out such an expensive national undertaking. We take some pride in the completion of this important railway, for this Journal. we be lieve, was the very first to point out this line, not only as a certain means of benefiting the town of Brighton, but also as one of the most direct lines of communication between the two great capitals of the world. The Directors, we trust, will now make the best use of the road fir their own interest, as well as the good of the public, and this they might accomplish by a inure liberal sys tem of uianageuu The fares are still too high, and there should be a third-cl ass train for Ltbourers and other persons who cannot afford a week'swages for travelling only two or three hours. Brighton will not be injured, but, on the contrary, must be greatly benefited by the influx of strangers. Ramsgate and Margate have, in a manner, been created by the steamboats ; property there has probably been trebled in value; and Brighton, if the management of the Directors be judicious, will enjoy the same results. The French journals of Wednesday are for the most part occupied with the question of the warfare which the Cabinet is now carrying on against the Opposition press. We have again and again condemned this persecution of the journals as most unwise on the part of the, French Government. It operates ruinously upon the journals, without absolutely suppressing them, and therefore but increases the desperate rage of their conductors. To make even politi cians moderate, the right plan is to make them rich, instead of foolishly trying to make them poor. The fiercest patriotism is made fiercer by hunger. The tranquillity of the French capital was not disturbed on Tuesday night. Whether this wa s owing to the arrest on Tuesday by the police of a brace of traitorous old women, who ,were safely lodged in prison, we presume not to determine. They were both portresses, and a quantity of arms were found concealed in their respective re sidences. Louis PHILIPPE'S throne is indeed in danger when we find the old women conspiring to overthrow it. The Presse has a long article on the Eastern Question, the purport of which is to show that France is the only gainer by the Treaty of the 13th of July. We quote the following from the Univer.q:— " A severe discussion occurred on Monday between the French and Belgian Commissioners, by which the negoeia tions were in danger of being broken of M. Humana, the Finance Minister, opposes ith pertinacity, all coneessions as to the admission of iron, no matter how limited the quantity. Amongst the concessions proposed by the Belgian Commis sioners is the prohibition of the piracy of French literary works in Belgium. We are told that the Belgian Commis sioners are in a state of irritation which leaves little hope that the negotiations will end satisfactorily. We are assured, however, that their Majesties Louis Philip and Leopold agree better than their Ministers on these questions. The following words are said to have been uttered by one of the Ministers, ' National interests ought to prevail over those of a dynasty.' The Gazette des Tribenaux, which is usually well informed, has the following statement re lative to the intentions of the Cabinet: — It has been repo ted that the Ministry, in consequence of recent events, is preparing several projects of law for neat ses sion.

ALGIERS, Seem. 13.—T0-day, at two o'clock in the after noon, a fllla of steam-boats appeared in the huriz n, which at four o'clock landed the 64th Regiment of the lisle. These were the Government steamers Cameleon, Pepin, Velose, and Vautour, which quitted Port Vencres the day before ye,ter day, and in 4 , 3 hours have brought this regiment, which c from Perpignan. Few regiments arrive here with so much speed. These troops appeared to be in good health. It is to be re gretted at this season especially, that they will not have time to get used to the climate, for they are to take the field imme diately, but circumstances are urgent, awd we are convinced that they will honourable acquit themselves in the important events of the approaching campaign. General Buguard will set out on the 15th for O:an, where he is going to direct the op perations in person.

The King of Prussia, the Princes, and the Court, have ar rived at BVeslau, in Silesia, where a magnificent fete has been given to the Royal visitors. The Queen of Prussia has left Berlin for Ermannsdorff. M. and Mme. Thiers passed through Cologne on the 17th inst., and Verviers, in Belgium, on the 18th, on their return to France. The Cologne Gazette says that M. Thiers was painfully affected on learning, while at Coblentz, the attempt against the Royal Dukes. A search wai made by the police on Monday, in the lodge of a portress, in the Rue de Charonne, and many arms and much ammunition was seized. The woman was arrested, and has been committed for trial. A melancholy accident oc-urred yesterday afternoon at St. Cloud, where, while a detachment of cuirassiers were bathing their horses in the river above the bridge, one of the animals got out of its depth, and sunk with its rider. Both man and horse were drowned. A letter from Brest says :—" Since the Ist instant fifteen vessel•, of from 250 to 300 tons burthen, have entered this port, with masts and other timber, for the dockyard. The ships were.Xnglish, Russian, Prussian, Hanoverian, and Nor wegian." A violent dysentery has broken out among the troops in gar rison at Dieppe, and ,everal men have died of it. The tusks of a fossil elephant of enormous size were found, a few days since, in digging a well near Valenciennes. They have been placed in the museum of that town. Extensive ameliorations are, it is said, about to be made in the pavement of the Place du Carrousel, the Place du Louvre and de l'Oratoire, the interior of the Louvre, and the Quays du Louvre, des Tuelleries, Voltaire, and Ma'aquais. The Place du Carrousel (the state of which has so long been a disgrace to the city, and the sufference of even the present untidy, irregular, condition of which, in front of a Royal re sidence, is to us inconceivable), is to be lighted with gas. Pre parations are going on for completing the improvement of the bide alleys of the great Avenue de Neuilly all the way to the bridge of Neuilly. If the money thrown away on the fortifications could only be spent in improving the streets of the capital, Paris would become, in reality, what it has so long boasted to be, one of the finest cities in the world. The Journal de l' Arrondissement du Havre says.—" A c.mract has just been made with an English Company for re covering the cargo of the Telemaque, wrecked off Quillebeu in 1790. The Company has engaged to spend, at least 100,000 francs in the em:eavour before it is given up. We d not know what information as to the real value of the carg in the sunken ship the Company may have, but it woul hardly have bound itself to expend so large a sum unless i was certain of a greater profit than could be produced by th timber with which the Tekmaque was said, to have been laden. " The whole line of railroad oetween Strasburgh and Bale, says a Mulhausen letter. " was opened on Sunday. At nin in the morning the Alinider of Public Works, the Prefect o the Bas Rhin, the other authorities, and a great number o persons invited by the Company, assembled at the Keenigs hoffen station, Strasburgh, and immediately started for this place, where it arrived at half-past eleven. The scene was very en livening. The train was decorated with garlands and Jags, and the way was crowded with people cheering it as it passed rapidly along. It then continued on its course to Bale, whence as yet we have no account." BO LIESE-PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 22. flrat Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Prig.

POILEIGN. The French opposition Journals, Republican and Leg-i -timist, are unmeasured in :he condemnation of the rigour with which the Government is carrying into effect the September laws against the press. The Quotidienne, Legitimist paper says :--"Th e seizures of Journals under the present Ministry multiply as if by enchant ment. We give the following list of the prosecutions against the press : though incomplete, it still is a curious one. The National 5 ; the Journal du Peuple counts them by dozens ; the Gazette de France, 4 ; the Quotidienne, 2 ; the Commerce, the Te m p s , an d t h e Gazette des Tri hunaux, each 1. At Toulouse the editors of the Eman cipation and the Utilitaire have been imprisoned now a month, and are not yet brought up for trial. The Gazette of Languedoc has experienced one seizure ; the Gazette of Auvergne, 2 ; the Patriot rf Macon, the Courrier de ii Moselle, and the Journal de I Elll e, I each. The Gazette du Dauphine was seized six mouths ago, and has not yet been tried. But still the ardent zeal of the Journal des Debuts is far feom being satisfied." The Courrier Francais, influenced by strong sympathy for the persecuted Journals, is more violent even than the National. It would almost appear from the fol lowing article that it courts the hostility of the Govern ment, armed with the terrors of the September laws : " The fury of the Ministers against the press exceeds all bounds. The Government is never at a loss for a pretext for seizing a journal which displeases it. It even seems that the seizures become more frequent in proportion as the journals of extreme opinions accustom themselves to speak with moderation. It the National had approved of the scenes of Clermont, M. Martin (du Nord) would perhaps have abandoned it to the discredit which falls upon such doctrines ; but the National having recommended to its friends to respect the law, an attempt is made to deprive it of the benefit of such conduct, and it is persecuted, in order that it may be rendered violent. We hope the press will not fall into the snare. Violence is the weapon of the weak. The Ministry has only a few days to live, and we can wait for its end. It does itself a hundred times more harm by its excesses than we could do it by any system of aggres sion. For our own part we have DO desire to disturb the course f events. Let the Ministry play its last card —it will be the sooner ruined." The Journal des Debuts alone supports the Govern in its attacks upon the Press. The more Journals are seized the more it applauds the vigilance of the Cabinet. For this the Commerce makes the following attack upon it :—" The language of the Journal des Debuts is marked with a peculiar character of irritation and hatred, by which this detestable Journal, the official organ of every re-action since 1814, has been ever distinguished. Its Violent aggression at the present day cannot be justified by common sense, unless it be contemplated to supp or t that aggression y the establishment of a pure military despotism. And it is at a most critical juncture, when the whole country is in agitation, when our towns and hamlets are the scenes of slaughter and riot, when it becomes the duty of all good citizens to give the example of moderation, that this Journal breathes nothing but insult; defiance, and death, on all these inflaihmable ele ments of civil discord." The Quotidienn e accounts for the triumphal march of the Duke d'Aumale from Marseilles to Neuilly, by stating that an intrigue has for some time been on foot for obtaining fur his Royal Highness the hand of the young Queen of Spain. Queen Christina, Louis Phi lippe, Toren°, and Bermudez, are all at the bottom of this plot. To bring this political romance to a happy conclusion, is said to be the object of M. Salvandy's mis sion to Madrid. But has. England been consultei about this match ? Before attempting this second abolition of the Pyrenees, it would be as well just to ask John Bull what he thinks about the business. - a& •.• The Editor of the Spanish Journal Correo Nacioncl, has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment for pub- Haling some laudatory verses upon Queen Christina, in which the character of Espartero was unsparingly attacked. PARLIAMENTARY. A new writ was issued for East Retfurd, the Hon. A. Doncombe having accepted the office of a Groom in Waiting on her Majesty. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is on Monday to move a resolution about Exchequer Bills. Mr. V. Harcourt again referred to the quantity of wheat grown in Russia, as if the Hon. Gentleman had a cornphobia, and %%as haunted with the idea of the people getting too much corn, and getting it too cheap. The Admiralty, it appears, by what fell from Mr. Sidney Herbert, have resolved to fully man all sea-going ships. We think they are right. In the Report of the Retiring Annuity to the Vice- Chancellor, Colonel Sibthorp objected to the amount, and Mr. Ewart moved that it be reduced from 3,5001. to 3,00C1., but the amendment was lost on a division by 150 to 56. The Report was received. In Committee on the Administration of Justice Bill the clause giving compensation to the Hon. Mr. Scarlett was resisted by Mr. Ward and other Members, but on a divi,iou it was carried by 140 to 81 ; so the country has to give an annuity to another of Lord Abinger's sons. What has this young man or his father done for the pub lic, that the public should nourish him to the end of his life ? The Bill, after this scandalous waste of the suf fering people's money, was passed through the Committee. Mr. P. M. Stewart, on Sir George Clerk moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee of Supply, made a statement of the great distress which prevails at Pais ley, declaring that the funds of the Friendly Societies were gone, and the operatives had no alternative but pauperism. The Hon. Gentleman made an eloquent and feeling speech, declaring that if the Parliament were to be prorogued without doing something for the people, prosperity would be at an end. Mr. Gibson supported similar views in an able manner, dwelling on the poor pay of agricultural labourers, the iiniited field of employment for them, and pointing at foreign trade as endless in its demands. Some other good speeches were made, and then the House went into a Committee of Supply, when it dis cuss ed the constitution of the Ordnance Board, and the quality of muskets, with Mr. Warner's invention to blow up by wholesale, voted away the public money, and then adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle contains an article on the subject of the brief discussion on the Corn-laws that took place in - the House of Lords last night, and observes, in allusion- to the implied promise of Ministers, that if her Majesty would give them her confidence, they would enter on the. examination of the questions which she had recommended, remarks as follows :—" The strung Government is formed ; her Majesty has fulfilled her part of the bar gain ; and now it is not only fair, but just and decent, that Parliament should redeem its pledge solemnly given to the Crown. Yet the expecting and suffering portion of the people see a strong Government that dare not even face a discussion on the question ; and the great majo rity in both Houses of Parliament are literally about to skulk from the consideration of a question, which thou sands of her Majesty's subjects declare is affecting their health, their property, and their lives !" None who are versed in the history of Tory tactics, could have expected that the present Ministers would have acted otherwise than they have done. Had they re deemed their promise, and entered at once . boldly and honestly on the question of the national distresses, they would have falsified their character as Tories. Your true Tory never considers aught but his own per sonal interests. His thoughts wishes feelings begin and end in Self. His humanity never travels be yond Number One. He is now desirous of a prorogation first, because he knows full well that his party can, and will, do nothing for the country ; and secondly, because he considers it a great bore, and an impeachment of his gentility to be seen in London during the autumnal sporting months. What are the distresses of the people to him ? They are used to starvation, as eels are to be skinned ; and he deems it unconstitutional to make any innovations on their condition. The Post, like the rest of the Tory Journals, is quite delighted with—what it calls—" the present very cre ditable Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Wakley," as will be seen by the following paragraph :—" Men smarting under the infliction of recent defeat and degradation are seldom very correct reasoners, and we can, there fore, forgive an organ of the late Administration for forgetting that two rather important facts are wanting to justify the inference it draws from the present very creditable Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Wakley. One of these is, that this gentleman is, or has ever been, a Chartist, and, the other, th a t th e su pp or t or the forbearance of this gentleman has been courted, or his favour cultivated, by Sir Robert Peel, or by individuals connected with his Government."-- The great eagerness with which the Tories court the alliance of the Radical Member for Finsbury, is a proof that they are far from easy in their present position, and have strange misgivings respecting their continuance, in office. One would imagine that, backed by a majority of ninety-one, they would treat Mr. Wakley's advances— and those of a hundred such—with the most sovereign contempt ; but they seem to be aware that majorities are capricious things now-a-days, as changeable a s th e Ti mes , and just as likely to be found one fine morning on the Whig side of the question, as that weathercock journal. Some months ago the Tories were clamorous in their abuse of the Melbourne Cabinet for condescending to accept the assistance of Mr. O'Connell ; yet now this haughty party stoop still lower--exhibit still greater condescension—in courting the alliance of Mr. Wakley! And the men who thus abjectly prostrate themselves, exult in the idea that they are connected with the most aristocratic Government that England has known for years! Alas, how closely in some natures is pride allied with meanness ! Pope in his Satires, has hit off a Tory to the life, when he speaks of " the meanness that soars, and pride that licks the dust," of Lord Fanny. The Herald is so transported with Lord Stanley's late election speech, that it devotes not less than two columns and a half to the subject, and observes, inter alia : " Like Lord Stanley we have ridiculed the idea of a specific for the cure of national evils ; and with him we have exposed the absurdity and the danger of the Legis lature giving way to the prevailing prejudice or fashion of the time. Had it so given way during the last ten years of Whig rule, there would not at the present time be an institution either in Church or State left standing. There would now have been no national establishment, no House of Lords, no public debt, no army, no navy, and, we verily believe, no Sovereign ; but there would, in their stead, have been universa suffrage, annual elections of the House of Commons, the Ballot, general confusion in ecclesiastical matters, a na tional guard, a centralised and tyrannical demo cratic Government, and confusion worse confounded." —So, the "idea of a specific. for the cure of national evils" is now a flagrant absurdity ! Lord Stanley has declared it to be so, and the Herald endorses his opinion. What, then, did the Tories take office for ? The answer is ready—to promote their own party interest ! They are a mere set of political swindlers, who have sneaked into place under false pretences ; and now that they are fairly housed in Downing-street, laugh at the fools who obtained them admission there. To hope anything from men like these, is to hope for mercy from a slave-owner, or toleration from a Philpotts ! We quote the following from the Times :—" It is un questionably a growing feeling, that the Queen's Govern ment ought to keep the sole power of coining money, whether in gold or in paper, in its own hands ; sub ject to the constant inspection of Parliament. This would prevent the sudden increase of the circulation in one year, and its sudden diminution in another. It would save many, still solvent and respectable, from the fate which has already overwhelmed thou sands of innocent victims. A gentleman at Liver pool was left by his father, four years since, the handsome fortune of 100,000/. He employs it, as his parent had done, in the wholesale cotton trade. He is naturally a large dealer, and holds a large stock. The late contraction in the currency works a rapid Call in cotton. He holds forty thousand bags; and before he can sell, a reduction of 31. per bag takes place ! He is stripped,at once of his whole property, almost with out a fault on his part. This is only one instance out of many. The depressions of 1819 and 1826, each arising from the same cause—a rapid contraction of the cur rency—produced thousands of such instances of cruel and lamentable spoliation." The Advertiser, in an article on " Puseyism" (the baneful tendency of which we have often exposed), gives two opinions of Sir Robert Peel, furnished by his friends :—'• The circumstance of Mr. Gladstone being appointed to the Vice. Presidency of the Board of Trade, has indeed led, in some quarters, to the surmise that the Tory Premier is himself a Puseyite. On that point it is not for us to express an opinion in the absence of proof. Though to be sure very little religion —we mean the re ligion of the New Testament—be required to constitute the Puseyite character, we doubt whether Sir Robert Peel is theologian enough fully and clearly to compre hend the details of that system. At all events, if Sir Robert is a Puseyite now, his conversion must have been of very recent date ; for within the last twelve months this very Mr. Gladstone, in a work a l rea dy name d , de -1 nounced the Right Hon. Baronet as a man 'devoid of all re ligion,' and a person who was consequently, though pos sessed of considerable abilities' as a politician, alto gether unfit to be entrusted with the destinies of the State. Nor is this the most recent or the most terrible denunciation With which Sir Robert has been visited by the Puseyites. Little more than two Months have elapsed since he was gibbeted in the British Critic—the recog nised quarterly organ of the party—as a cold, heart less, selfish man,' without a particle of religion in his composition ;' as an inveterate egotist ;' as a man of mean, sordid, earthly mind;' as a hypocrite in heart, and a traitor to his professed principles in ac tion ;' as a man whom it was impossible to respect in his public capacity, though possessing some amiable qualities in private life;' and as a person in whom no one ought to repose the slightest confidence.' In reference to the Penny Post, the Inverness Courier observes :—" There is a report that the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends raising the rate of postage from one penny to fourpence. We trust this will prove to be erroneous. The number of letters is rapidly increasing, so that, in a few years, the revenue from this source will be equal to its former amount. In our Highland dis tricts the change would be a serious evil ; as, from the poverty of the people, the clergy and others had often to advance sums to enable their poor parishioners to pay letters from their distant relatives and children." The Plymouth Journal commenting on Sir Robert Peel's first Ministerial speech, says :—"'The mountain has at length been safely delivered, and Sir Robert Peel's anxiously anticipated manifesto has come out—a very ridiculous little mouse. The cry had gone forth for some decided measure to restore the revenue, to relieve the distress of the country, and quell the rising discontent— and 10, and behold, a most magnanimous app ea l f rom t h e Grand Vizier on—the Ventilation of the House of Com mons." --; The Derby Reporter thus describes the Tory Cabinet:— "It is like Nebuchadnezzar's image, its feet are com posed partly of iron and partly of clay; it is strong in the support of Parliament, strong in the support of the aristocracy, but weak on the foundation on which all Governments must stand--the affections of the people. The millions are against them ; the middle classes are rallying to the rescue of the country from destruction, awakened to the danger that awaits them from the intention of Sir Robert Peel to put off the con ieleration of the corn duties till next year." MONEY—TRADE —COMMERCE. Sixty vessels, laden with wheat, have been entered at the Plymouth Custom-house, from the Ist to the 20th Sept. inst., averaging GO tons ; the great majority are from France, a few from Jersey. The duty now is only 13. a quarter; a month since it was 235. Bd. The glove-trade of Yeovil has been improving the last few weeks, and the distressed glovers somewhat re lieved thereby. The whole line of railroad between Strasburg and Bale was opened on Sunday last. The Salmon Fishery has now closed north of the Tw,ed, ;;nd has been comparatively productive. COMMERCIAL nErost M. Anti-Corn-law meetings, since our last notice, have taken place at Marylebone, St. George,- Southwark, and Old Brentford, and petitions adopted for signature to the Queen. On reference to The Sun's report of yesterday's pro ceedings at the Court of Common Council, it will be seen that the City are resolved on petitioning her Ma jesty to urge the question of the Corn-laws in Parlia ment before prorogation. .IkGIXCITZTIJIAILL. A bricklayer in Nottingham dug up in his garden last Monday, sixteen potatoes, the produce of one set, weigh ing seventeen pounds. They are of the kind known as farmers' profits ; and the largest weighed three pounds and three ounces. The Cork papers complain of tremendous rains, and the uncut crops have suffered disastrously. LAW AND POLICE. James Spurle, convicted on Thursday at the Central Cri minal Court, of setting fire to a house in Lambeth, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years. Three Irishmen were fined, at Hatton-garden, 5/ each, for a murderous outrage and assault upon three privates of the Grenadier Guards, and in default of payment were sentenced to two months' imprisonment in the house of Correction. A gentleman, labouring under great mental disquie tude, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough street, and charged with an intention of committing sui cide. Evidence was given to that etibct, and he was re • Manded till his friends in Liverpool should be made ac quainted with the fact. His name did not transpire. An inquest was held on the body of Mr Burdoii on Thursday evening, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Robert Blexley." 3E;i:(.4:CCTIONEEErNG. The Earl of Lincoln, on his acceptance of the office of Commissioner of Woods and Forests, was re-elected on Monday last for South Nottingham. The young Lord Altamont, son of the Marquis of Sligo—a stanch Reformer, and one of the best landlords in Ireland—contests Portarlington against Colonel Daw son Darner. Alderman Thompson was on Wednesday elected for Westmoreland, in the room of Viscount Lowther. Lord Eliot,' the Secretary for Ireland, was re-elected without opposition on Wednesday, for East Cornwall. SPORTING. A young " Irish giant," six feet high, and nearly 14 stone weight, has appeared in London as candidate for the" Championship" against Caunt, and all other heroes of the ring. A foot-race of sevenscore yards was recently run in Derby between Needham and Bland. Needham won by a yard. COURT—PASRION.AB.GE. The Duke of Rutland left Belton house, the seat of the Earl of Brownlow, yesterday for Belvoir Castle, in order to receive the Queen Dowager. Lord Francis Egerton has arrived at his shooting-box in Sutherlandshire. We are happy to learn that Viscount Beresford is rapidly progressing in health. Lord Stanley arrived in town on Wednesday night from North Lancashire. MISCELLANEOUS. At a recent Tory dinner at Ipswich, Sir Ralph An struther, speaking of the Tory Premier, observed, " Such integrity of purpose, such profound judgment, such praiseworthy caution, such a delightfully happy knack .in suppressing a too great impatience, were never before combined in any mortal man."—This superhuman states man has certainly a happy knack at suppressing the impa tience of the people, for he has told them, in plain terms, that they must not expect any remedy from him, even though he has pocketed the fee which they gave him for the consideration of their case. To repress popular im patience by producing popular despair, is an idea well worthy of a Tory statesman. A Wilts Paper states that " one day last week a po liceman observing a pig on the railway, attempted to drive it off, as a train was approaching; but all his efforts were vain, for the more he strove, the more obstinate the pig became; he seemed to have made up his mind not to leave; but at length hearing the noise of the coming train, and not liking the sound, he endeavoured to bolt; but not being aware of the speed of rail-way carriages, he got between the wheels, and ultimately extricated himself with the loss of his nose, which one of the wheels cut off." —How characteristic is this conduct of the Tories! They, too, are a perverse, pig-headed race, who make a point of hanging back, the more the people attempt to drive them forward. They, too, like the pig, " make up their mind not to leave ;" but, at length, hearing the loud clamour of the people, and " not liking the sound," they " en deavour to make a bolt," lucky if they can extricate themselves from their embarrassing position with the loss only of reputation. We consider that the loss of his nose to a pig, is a far greater grievance than the loss of his character to a Tory. The Morning Post observes, that " Mr. O'Connell cannot find even one grievance."—lf the lion, and Learned Gentleman will only cast his eyes towards the Treasury Bench, when he resumes his seat, he will find a row of full-grown grievances ranged right opposite him. We learn, from the Liverpool courier, that, " during the last two or three days, the Cheshire shore has been covered with the creatures commonly called fallen stars." —Fallen stars are by no means confined to Cheshire, but have dropped at Brocket Hall, Bowood, Woburn Abbey, and elsewhere. Indeed, the Whig horizon has of late been full of them. The following is from a Sheffield paper :—" A few days ago, as one of the persons connected with Van Atnburgh's establishment, was standing near the elephant, he received first a smart slap on the face, and pre sently such a stroke from the trunk of the animal, that four ribs were broken."—Lord Ellenborough, of ‘! tame elephant" notoriety, should take this refractory animal in hand. " On Monday last," says the Bolton Chronicle, " a Society of Female Conservatives, consisting of sixty old ladies, held their first anniversary at a respectable tavern in Middleton."—We are not surprised at these sixty old ladies being all Tories, for Toryism is essentially old womanish. Sir Robert Peel should recruit his ranks from them from time to time. The Chartists of Nottingham are making extensive arrangements for the reception of Feargus O'Connor, though the day on which the •" uncaged lion " will be there, is not positively determined. Thursday was the anniversary of the death of Samuel Butler, the celebrated author of " Hudibras," who died in 1680. On this day, in 1738, died Herman . Bcerhare, the Pminent physician. His fame was spread over the world, and his works are universal text-books. Peter the Great visited hini on his travels, and a Chinese mandarin wrote to him this address: "To Bcerhave, the celebrated physician of Europe." FINE ARTS. L'ESPAGNE, ARTISTIQUE ET MONET. MENTALE.—Paris, 1841. We have been shown the first part of a work devoted to the illustration of Spanish paintings, scenery, monuments, antiquities, &c., which is now, we understand, in the course of publication at Paris, where it is brought out in monthly numbers. The Part contains four engravings, executed by Spanish as well as French artists, and in a style worthy to vie with the efforts of any of our own engravers. One of the plates represents the cloisters in the interior of a rno- nastery at Burgos, and is remarkable for a long reach of perspective, such as Martin has exhibited in h:s el Ish azzar's Feast, and which is handled with consummate skill by the artist, M. Benoist. The group in the foreground, consisting of three figures, who are conversing together in an earnest tone, displays much grace and animation, and serves to break the monotonous still-life of the scene. Not less effective is the sketch of the Grand Chapel in the Cathedral of Toledo, which is a wonderfully rich specimen of the more florid style of ecclesi astical architecture. In front, on the steps lead ing up to the altar of the Chapel, where the priest stands arrayed in full pontificals, several figures, male and female, are represented kneel ing; the variety of their costumes greatly en livens the picture, which, notwithstanding its numerous details, stands in need of such acces series. A Market-place in a Spanish town is a sketch of a tar different character. :It is as lively and bustling, and crowded ,with figures, as one of Teniers' familiar, every-day scenes. Here, a group of women are engaged in selling fish; there, numbers of men are assem bled under tents, where they are drinking, and otherwise enjoying themselves; and in a third place, several young girls are drawing water from a well, which stands opposite a fine old church, i❑ •the front-ground of the picture. We do not often see, among modern works of art, an en graving so full of stir and vivacity, without ex. aggeration, as this sketch of a Spanish market place. If the future Numbers of this publics. tion keep the pioniise held out by the prescn we cannot doubt of its success.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT WOOL WICII.—On Thui s lay morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, a fire broke out in a very handsome eight-roomed c o t tage on Pi ums teacl-common, belonging to and occupiedby Mr. Carring ton, a master-builder. It is not known how the tire originated. Within a short period after the alarm was given the lloyal Artillery engines and parties of the men arrived, but could nut obtain a sufficient supply of water, so that the entire building was burnt to the ground, scarcely one brick being left above another, and almost all the furniture and money, cash and notes, were consumed, which must be a heavy loss to Mr. Carring ton, as no portion of his property via: insured. Sir James Graham, Loid Stanley, and the Earl of Aberdeen, had interviews with Sir R. Peel yesterday morning at the Right lion. Baronet's official residence in Dow:iing-street.
