I Evening.-- 43 minutes after 2. ‘‘,-§un4 LONDON : FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1341. some of our Irish Contemporaries, and even some of • our metropolitan brethren, are unex pectedly indignant at the appointment of a Mr. BREWSTER, a red-hot Orangeman, according to their representations, to be legal adviser to the Irish Secretary; and the filling up of the uffice,of Mr. Cantu., Crown Solicitor for Tip perary, whose state of health had compelled Um to try the climate of Lisbon, with a Tory. 'They advert, also, with severity to Chief Justice BUSHE having retained his place, after he had teased adequately to perform its duties, in order to bequeath it to none but a Tory successor. These writers must have been betrayed by their own hopes, if they expected anything different, for all those acts are consistent with Tory prin ciples, and worthy of Tory praise. Our Contemporaries ought to remember that the Government of this country is wholly con stituted and appointed for the benefit of a party, and for party purposes. It is intended to main in dominion and sple n d our , an exclusive, irreligious, and anti-Christia n Ch urch ; to pre verve i n opulence and power—and this ha s b een avowe d both by Lord GREY and Sir R. PEEL— the landed aristocracy ; to exalt and, enrich one or two classes, and to impoverish all the rest; and it has been almost uniformly conducted, n conformity to these intentions. Even when the Whigs were in office (ouch is the influence of the principles on which the Government is founded, over the mind), all the Liberal Journals ex claimed incessantly against the impolicy ofappoint ing to any office, however menial or however lordly, any person who was not a thorough-paced Whig or Liberal. We cannot, therefore, feel any in dignation at the conduct of the Tories in Ireland. It certainly does not surpass what we expected. It is only the necessary consequence of the prin ciple on which the Government is constituted; and to blame it, is something like blaming a steam-engine, which we have constructed and set to work, for the motion of the vessel, which it produces. The great object and intention of Government, so far as Ireland is concerned, is to preserve that monstrous nuisance, the Irish Church. For this object the people have been impoverished, de graded, and oppressed for ages. If that Church were useful or agreeable to the people, like potatoes or cloth, they would freely support it, as they cultivate the ground and raise and im prove manufactures ; but because that Church is both mischievous and disagreeable, the Govern ment has for one of its main objects to support it by coercion. But how can the Government effect that, unless it be administered in all its de partments by men who think the political nuisance ought to be maintained? The Whig Govern eat, which cut off ten Bishoprics and ein. cloyed those who regarded the Church as a nui sance, was preparing the way for extirpating it ; and the Tory Government—far truer, we will admit, to the principle of its birth—is doing, and will do, all in its power to nourish the Church. Accordingly it appoints Mr. BREWSTER, an Orangeman, and dismisses Mr. CAHILL, a Ca tholic. Chief Justice BUSIIE, a limb of the Go vernment, shares the opinion that the Church ought to be upheld at the expense of the people, who, for all his party, constitute a very subordi nate consideration, and he accordingly retained his place till he could see a friend of the Church appointed in his stead. The appointments, then, we repeat, of which our Contemporaries com plain, are the natural consequences of the system, and to quarrel with them is like quarrelling with potatoes for growing after they have been planted. Passing from the indignation of our Contem poraries at these appointments, which is unjustifi able as long as they approve of the system, we must advert to the resignation of Chief Justice BUSHE, to illustrate a very different question. His case and that of the Lord President HOPE are two examples of men in high station who have been for some time anxious to retire, but have held on from an expectation that the Tories would be reinstated in office. Many ether persons nourished the same expectation. In fact, Sir R. PEEL'S advent to office was fore seen and foretold for several months. It was not the result, therefore, of caprice, favouritism, or Court intrigue, and it has about it something of the characteristics of a general fact or natural law. To us this is full of consolation and hope, for it shows that even the accession et a Minister to office is regulated by principles, which, by observation, we may all come to understand, and turn to profit; as the knowledge of the laws of gravity, after it was ac quired, was turned to the profit of the navigator and the improvement of navigation. The main element of the accession was the de sire of a large body of the nobility, clergy, and gentry to place the Tories in office, because they profess principles in accordance with the objects and intentions of Government as we have de scribed it. The possessors of exclusive privi leges—the few favoured classes—the members of the State Church, are all conscious that the security of their privileges cannot be trusted to the honesty of the acquisition or their utility to others; that if preserved at all, it must be by maintaining the great instrument which is created to preserve them ; and their desire to pre serve them, linking numerous individuals in the resolute attainment of one common object, carried Sir ROBERT PEEL into office. He ga thered around him all who were alarmed lest the character of the Government, as we have described it, should be altered. He continually and artfully nourished their alarm ; he fanned their zeal, and at length they succeeded in placing again in power a man who is pledged to maintain the Government as an instrument for aggrandizing the few at the expense of the many. Another element of the change is to be found in the minds of the many. The bulk of them are accustomed, without reflection, to defer to the desires, wishes, and opinions, of the privi leged classes. There is amongst them a fund of idolatry of wealth and grandeur, the super stitious heritage from a former condition of slavery, as irrationo.l as Fetiche, or Medicine bag worship, which makes the many anxious to please the few, and promote their grandeur at the expense of their own happiness. The idols, wiser than worshipped stones, are sensible of the power which this disposition of the bulk of the people gives them, and they cultivate it assi duously by the help of a hired and bribed press, and an allied priesthood. Incessantly, by all the means in their power, have the bulk of the privileged classes, as one man, pursued their ob ject of placing the Government in congenial hands; and, working on minds willing to aid them, their perseverance was, in the long run, crowned with success. The return of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL to power, then, is no accidental cir cumstance, but the combined result of the fears of the privileged classes, and of the deference of the many. We cannot hope to abate the desire of the few to preserve their privileges, though, as they see the instrument they have constructed for their purpose in what they call proper hands, their alarms will subside, and their zeal will relax ; but we may expect, by continually setting before the many the vast injury which is inflicted on them by the classes they worship, to lessen their unwise deference, and so bring about another change in the _Administration. When we reflect on the outrages which the exclusive system in flicts on all Catholics and Dissenters, andall non electors, when we see th e vas t injury done to the millions to gratify the rapacity of a few, we can but conclude that a Government which is founded on such principles, and which must in the long run array against it all the excluded or unprivi leged masses—we must conclude that a simi lar great law to that which has temporarily placed the Tories in office will hurl them from it, and at no distant day be fatil to the whole system of our Government. The Ministerial Journals will do their masters and the country great. injury if they should suc ceed in generating the opinion that the present agitation on the subject of the Corn-laws is wholly factitious and will soon blow over. The National Operative Anti-Bread-tax Association, which held a meeting at Manchesteron Monday, is a distinct body from the Anti-Corn-law League, but it will work the same end. Col. THOMPSON, who was present, made a most judicious speech, and recommended the operatives to demand com pensation from the landlords for the many years' sufferings they have inflicted on them; and the idea was adopted by the meeting, which voted by acclamation the following resolution:— " That this meeting not only considers the total repeal of the Corn-laws to be a measure both reasonable and jitlt, and especially beneficial to the working classes, but also considers that the landowning aristocracy ought to compensate the working classes for years of robbery by refunding the whole of the unholy gains wrung from the people by those wicked imposts." From a small protecting fixed duty the people have gone on to total abolition, and now they come to demand compensation of the landed aristocracy for wicked oppressions. Lord RA DNOR told the Peers some few days ago, that these wicked oppressions were provoking the multitude to ask curious questions about the titles of th e land owners to their estates, and those curious questions did not receive answers which were satisfactory to the inquirers. The agitation, then, which the Tory Journals pretend to despise, is intense, and goes to the very heart of political society. The landlords who have provoked it knoiv best, we presume, how they can resist it, and can rely with safety on the justice of their cause. For our parts we cannot conceive the possibility of holding the great multitude in subjection against their will; and once they come generally conclusions sol emn l y recorded atManchester, to and babbled out without preparation at Nor wich, showing they came from an intense and cherished conviction, the power of the land owners will disappear like snow on the return of spring. " Backed by public opinion," said Sir James n Graham, before he was a renegade, "the landowner sco aresety cannot almost - f m ea o r s . t omnipotent. In violation of public opinion they long retain an exclusive advantage. Th e ful ; for on what ground will it be decided ? the very topic which inflames to madness, n that hunger which breaks through stone walls will be arrayed against them ; reason will be nu longer heard ; the barriers of society will be broken down ; and estates, distinction s , and honours, swept away in one resistless torrent. L ET ' THOSE WHO SEEK HIGH PRICES at all risks, remember the words of Tacitus—" Vulgus ad magnitudinem bane ficioruni aderat stultissimus quisque pecuniis mercebatur ; apud sapientes cassa habebantur, quae neque da.ri neque accipi, salva republica, poterant." At all the meetings which have been held, all factious, or mere Whig and Tory motives, have been disclaimed. The agitation is no hollow party move. It is based, as a Correspondent from Birmingham says, on empty workshops, empty cupboards, empty pockets, and empty stomachs. It is an honest agitation. It has no leader. It is neither an O'CoNiTELL nor an O'CoNNoR move. It serves no individual ambition it is not got up for any individual purpose. It may therefore be slow in its progress, incomplete in its organiza tion, and disobedient to command; but its results will be the more lasting and more important. With the exclusion of the pri vileged classes, it is national. It is no longer confined to Corn-laws ; it attacks all privileges, and seems more like one of those moral revo lutions which prostrate systems of Government, and of faith, than those evanescent hubbubs which statesmen may despise and editors mock at. The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednes day have reached us. In the ffloniteur of that day we find the following news from Spain : TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. BAYONNE, OCT. 11, 3 r.m. THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE TWEN. TIETII DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. No further news from Madrid. The ordinary mails are still due. Pampeluna and Bilbao were on the 9th, in the same state. (Interrupted by the night.) The 3loniteur Parisien states that public tran quillity was not disturbed on the 9th inst. at Madrid. Numerous arrests were made, by order of the Government, of persons sus pected of having participated in the outbreak of the 7th. As the Madrid mail did not arrive in Paris on Wednesday, it was supposed that it was stopped by the insurgents. A courier, who left Madrid on the sth with despatches from the Regent to the Ambassadors at the Courts of France and England, safely crossed the frontier. The Gazette de France accuses the French Government of suppressing the most important part of the news from Spain. According to that Journal the movement at Madrid was a much more serious affair than is represented by the Government papers. It affirms that eighty per sons were arrested, and eight shot by order of the REGENT, two of whom were Lieutenant- Generals. We do not credit this statement. No executions had taken place up to the Dth, although it is evident from ESPARTERO'S procla mation, inserted in another part of The Sun, that severe examples will be made of those who made an attack upon the Palace. The attempted insurrection in Madrid was commenced at half-past eight o'clock on the 7th inst. The leaders of it were Generals Don DIEGO LEON, and CONCHA, who had seduced a battalion of the Princessa Regiment, and who ex pected with their assistance to carry off the young QUEEN and her sister. ESPARTERO, who had received intimation of the object of the con spirators, doubled the guards, and was him self with the QUEEN when the first shot was fired. The soldiers on duty at the Palace nobly performed their duty. They fought, well, keep ing the conspirators in check till the arrival of re-inforcements. During the engagement, which lasted for an hour, the rain fell in torrents, and as, on the first sound of the firing the shops were all closed, the streets would have been in utter darkness, had not the inha bitants illuminated their houses. When Generals LEON and CONCHA found that they were getting the worst of it, and were in danger of being taken, they fled, at the head of about 40 horsemen, in the .direction of the Basques. Brigadier NORZA QUERAY was taken with arms in his hands, and will doubtless be shot. The troops remained under arms all night, and on the following morning were reviewed, with a body of the National Guards, by the REGENT, in the presence of the young QUEEN, whom they saluted with shouts of loyalty. The Commerce positively asserts that Queen CHRISTINA has concluded a match between the young Queen ISABELLA and the eldest son of Don CARLOS. If this be the case, it will ac count for Louts PHILIPPE'S consenting to the banishment of the ex-Regent's advisers from Paris. In intriguing for the over throw of the present Spanish Government, the King of the FRENCH looks to the probability of placing one of his own sons on the throne of Spain, as the husband of Is ADELLA the Second. The you i ng Queen is now eleven years of age, and when thirteen will, according to the laws of Spain, have a right of choosing a husband for herself. Upon this subject we find . the following- different version in the Gazette de Fralee of Wednesday : NEWS FROM SPAIN. The ncws of the check sustained on the 7th at Madrid by the partisans of Queen Christina, and of the vi . dent measures adopted by Espartero in consequence of this event, reached Paris at the same time that notice was given from London of the counsels addressed from Downing-street to the Regent, to induce him to push matters if nec , . , ssary, so Far as to declare war against France, and to deliver letters of marque, as the only means that would prevent England front intervening in directly. This news has checked the ardour of the Guizot Ca binet, and orders have been given to the confidants and to the official journal to disavow all participation in the enterprise of Queen Christina. The immediate depar ture of M. Salvandy is going to be annonnced. Satis factory explanations will be given to M. Olozaga. Lastly, in expectation of what events may produce, a complete retreat is to be made as decently as possible. It is now perceived what an enormous fault was com mitted in refusing to enter into formal engagements respecting the marriage of the eldest son of Don Carlos to the young Princess Isabella. It was wished to play a cunning game, and to have the support of the Spanish Carlist party, without giving any pledge. Consequently that party remains indifferent in the struggle, and neu tralizes all the efforts of the Christinos. The marriage of Isabelle to the eldest son of the Infant Don I"rancis de Paulo, which was on the point of being concluded, with the consent of Espartero, seems likewise not to meet the views of our Government, for Don Francis de Paulo, who was going to Madrid, has just been invited by the authorities at Bayonne to turn back, and has been forbidden to pass the frontier. What then are the projects of Queen Christina, re specting her daughter ? " Has she entered into en gagewents in favour of the Duke d'Aumale, and is this the real obstacle which opposes the re-establishment of peace and legitimacy in Spain. What other news from Spain we have received will be found in another part of The Sun. Ex cept this intelligence we find little of importance in the Paris Journsls. Even the news from Africa excites no attention in the presence of such stirring events in Spain. We extract the following from the Moniteur Algerien of the 6th instant : " The corps destined to revictual Milianah left Blidah at five in the morning of the 27th ult., under the com mand of General Baraquay d'Hilliers, escorting the largest convoy that have ever been sent out in Africa. It was composed of nearly 4,300 horses or mules, and about 900 head of oxen. In the plain of the Mitidjah the expedition saw no more than about 100 Hadjoutes,who observed its progress without seeming to be in the least disturbed. While passing the Chaba el Ketta, about 200 Kabyles fired upon the rear guard, and put several men hors de combat. On the 29th the convoy crossed the Col du Goutas. About 2,000 Arab horsemen appeared on the left flank of the column, but contented themselves with observ ing our march. At night-fall the bivouac was taken up near the Marabalit of Sidi Abdel Fader. The next day, hav ing deposited its enormous charge at Milianah, the ex pedition started again early in the morning, and repassed the Goutas on October Ist. The rear-guard was again attacked by 500 or 600 Arabs, but the superiority of our arms, and the judicious employment of our artillery, oc casioned them considerable loss. We on this day had about 15 men put hors de combat. The corps bivouacked at Oued Adelia and Oued el Ger, and protected by two lateral columns, charged to secure the march by taking possession of the heights, entered the valley of Oued el Ger, and bivouacked on the Bou Roumi, at the en trance of the plain. The parallel columns had serious en gagements with the enemy, and killed and wounded 20 of our men. On the 3d, the column arrived and encamped under Blidah. This expedition of seven days was attended, perhaps, with greater difficulties than any former one. The excessive heat, the constant scarcity of water, the length of several forced marches, gave the troops a new opportunity of showing their energy, their devotion . and resignation. The partial engagements with the horsemen and Kabyles cost us thirteen men killed, including a captain, and 43 wounded, two of whom were officers. The losses of the enemy were, however, much more considerable. It is to be observed that, in spite of the incessant difficulties and continual want of water, nearly all the convoy was con ducted ;safe to Milianah, and deposited 220,000 rations of every kind." The same Journal states that General Gueswiller had visited Berdj-Medjana with his column, 1,800 strong, and penetrated to the distance of 18 leagues in the chain of mountains which divides the province of Tittery from that of Algiers. He did not meet with resistance on any point, and returned to Setif on the 20th September, aft,,,r an absence of 12 days. His object was to reconnoitre a country not hitherto visited, and he has discovered a means of communication between Constantina, Algiers, and Medeah, preferable to that of the El Biban (Iron Gates). The Journal du Luxembourgh publishes the following intelligence : "We hear that his Majesty the King, Grand Duke, has appointed Messrs. Lafontaiae, Baron Blockhausen, and the Piscatore, Commissioners for negociating a Treaty of Commerce with Belgium. His Majesty has likewise signed a Decree, establishing at Luxembourgh a Chamber of Commerc e , consisting of 25 Members, fur the City and the Grand Duchy."' On the 10th instant the steamer FAbeuvieD, No. 2, •••:..X.. • • MS .

Fortunately the Ville d'Elbeuf packet being near, the passengers were able to remove on board that vessel. The Director-General of the Customs has addressed a circular to the Directors of Customs in the departments, announcing that in future webbing made of cotton and caoutchouc may be imported in the same way as other objects of caoutchouc mixed with other materials, and which are admitted on payment of. a duty of 200 f. to 2121. 50c. the 100 kilogrammes. A large and well-organised band of thieves and swindlers have been detected at Angers, Nantes, and other towns in the west of France. Many of them have been arrested, and the police are on the traces of others. Quantities of jewels of considerable value are said to have been stolen, and merchandise to a great amount obtained by fraud. Ono of the gang is said to have carried on the system by pretending to be a courier at tached to the mail between Nantes and Bordeaux. He is supposed to have been one of the chiefs. Another of the confederates is said to be a member of a respectable family in one of the principal towns of the west. The Correctional Tribunal of Lyons hart just con demned to four months' imprisonment a priest attached to the Hotel Dieu in that city, for abstracting ornaments of various kinds from tombs in the cemetery of Loyasse. He was possessed, it appears, of a mania for making a collection of vases and similar articles. During the last month the consumption of Paris was 4,812 oxen, 1,781 cows, 5,868 calves, and 33,812 sheep, being a diminution of 626 oxen and 2,816 sheep as com pared with September, 1840. "The difference, says the Commerce, " which is equivalent to 350,000 kilogrammes of meat, is attributable entirely to the high prices re quired by the dealers." On Monday evening a well-dressed young man en tered a ready-made linen-warehouse in the Passage-des Panoramas, and, taking- a seat, desired the owner of it, who is a female, to quit it immediately, saying that it belonged to him. On her expressing her astonish ment at his conduct, he said he saw she wanted money to induce her to quit, and threw down a handful of five francs pieces, adding that he had millions, and could give her more money than she could carry. Some of the neighbours having entered the shop for the purpose of expelling him, he told them that he had hundreds of millions, which were given to him by the Emperor, who had sent him to take possession of the shop, and carry it on in his name. There being no doubt as to his in sanity, the Commissary of Police was sent for, and he was placed at his disposal, with a view to his being restored to his family, or placed in an asylum. A Few days ago, says the Courlier du Midi, M. de Saint-Paul, Avocat-General of Montpellier, who was at Milhau canvassing the electors as a candidate to replace M. Nougaret in the Chamber of Deputies, finding him self suddenly attacked by a violent head-ache, resolved upon a little country excursion in the hope of dissipating it, and after writing to his wife that he was unwell, but hoped the excursion would relieve him, set out for that purpose. On the following day the conductor of the diligence from Milhau to Montpellier, whilst crossing a bridge over the Tarn, saw the body of a man lying at the foot of a sloping-bank, and, on proceeding to examine it, found that it was M. de Saint-Paul, and that he was quite dead. It is supposed that he had been suddenly at tacked with giddiness and aneurism of the heart, had fal len off the bank, and, no assistance being at hand, had soon ceased to exist. We find the following extraordinary, and, as it ap pears to us, incredible stat*ment, in a letter from Al giers of the Ist instant, published by the Sentinelk of Toulon :—"A lady of Algiers, who some time ago buried one of her children, recently obtained permission from the municipal authorities to have the grave and coffin opened, for the purpose of placing in the latter a still born infant. The coffin was found to be entirely empty, and an inquiry being set on foot as to the cause of the disappearance of the remains of the first child, it was ascertained that the grave-digger, who is the owner of an immense number of pigs, and who supplies most of the pork-butchers of Algiers, fed his pigs with the corpses which he buried. In his house were large quan tities of human flesh chopped up, and, on examining the graves in the cemetery, every . coffin was found empty. A discovery was also made, in the house of the grave digger, of jewellery to the value of about fifty thousand francs, which had been buried with the bodies. The criminal is arrested, and the prosecution is going on ; but, what a dreadful reflection it is for many persons to think that they may have been eating pork fed with the flesh of their .own relatives. The use of pork has been interdicted for some time, and all the grave-digger's pigs have, by order of the Procureur-General, been killed and instantly buried." BOLTRSE-PAUIS, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 13.

The Queen is said to have much wished that her accouchemcnt might take place at Windsor; but the many inconveniences which would at tend this arrangement forbid it. Her Majesty is said to have permission from her physicians to remain here until Wednesday next, which it is thought she will do; in the Castle, however, every day next week is spoken of as the day of her departure for town. DESECRATION OP THE SABBATII.-At a meet ing of the Edinburgh Commissioners of Police, held on Monday last, a member of the name of Richardson read a long paper in support of a motion, "That the Scavengers discontinue cleaning the street on the Sunday mornings.' The substance of his argument was,—such em ployment was a direct breach of the fourth commandment, and could be avoided by late cleaning on Saturday night. A lengthened dis cussion followed, and the result was that clean ing the streets was no desecration of the Lord's Day, the mover and seconder only voting for this absurd motion. We have hopes yet that the Scotch People will see the folly of their ways, and get rid of the character which they DOW enjoy, of being more addicted to useless observances than even the Jews themselves.

G.C.8., whose death at Durwood House, Surrey, on Sunday last, appeared in our obituary on Wednesday, had been in the navy upwards of 65 years. He was in 1779 promoted to a lieutenancy, and in 1790 obtained post rank, and in the war with Holland and France ably dis tinguished himself. In 1811, in consideration of his services, he was made Commander-in -Chief at the Nore, where he remained until 1814. He was latterly ap pointed Groom of the Bedchamber to his Royal High ness the Duke of Sussex. _ _ _ - -- --- The mortal remains of the late Lord 11 , 10n,0n are to be removed on Monday next from Brighton for Gatton-park, Surrey.

FOREIGN. • The King of the French was presiding at a Cabinet Council when the news arrived of the suppression of the attempted insurrection at Madrid. M. Duchatel, who is opposed to the intrigues of the King for the restoration of Christina, proposed that M. Salvandy should at once sot out as Ambassador t• Madrid, and by his presence satisfy Spain that France was not disposed to sanction attacks upon the established Government. The King and some Members of the Cabinet, including M. Guizot, opposed this, but M. Duchatel insisted that a delay would be regarded by Europe as hostile to Spain, and would inevitably lead to a serious misunderstanding with England. The King yielded with difficulty, but finally gave directions that M. Salvandy should at once proceed to the Spanish capital. The Spanish Ambassador at Paris demanded the re moval from that capital of MM. Toreno, Martinez de la Rosa, and Zea Bermudez, who compose Queen Chris tina's Council. This demand the French Government has complied with, and on Wednesday it was intimated to these gentlemen that they could no longer be suffered to remain in Paris. A few days ago Auvergne was subjected for 48 hours to a violent storm of wind and rain. Many houses were unroofed, and trees torn up by the roots. The Dore and other streams have overflowed their banks. Great da mage has been done to the vineyards at Clermont, and in some parts the roads are rendered impassable. The country of Arles, in Provence, is suffering dread fully from the stagnant waters left by the late inunda tions. Intermittent fevers are raging hi parts where they have not been known for ten years. The plain of the Crau is suffering so severely and extensively that it is said there is scarcely a man to be found capable of work ing. In the hospital at Arles there hare been 200 fever cases at a time. Even the wards built in 1835 to receive cholera patients, are filled, the beds of convalescents being immediately occupied by fresh subjects. The Temps states that the number of persons incul pated by Quenisset, as his accomplices in the attempt against the Royal Duke, is eight, as already stated, and that ten individuals are now in custody. Numerous ar rests hare been made at Lyons, of persons supposed to be implicated in this affair. It is not expected that the preliminary inquiries can be terminated before the end of next month. The St. Etienne papers state that some persons have been arrested in that town on charges of being affiliated to secret political societies at Lyons. The Courrier de Lyon says that documents of some importance have been seized at the pace of meeting of the individuals belong ing to the secret society called the Charbonnerie Re formee. The Commerce asserts positively that Christina and Don Carlos have decided upon a union between Queen Isabella and Don Carlos's eldest son, and that the fact is incontrovertible. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has a leading article on tho subject of bri bery at elections, in which, after endeavouring to prove that it cannot be stopped by an Extension of the Suf frage, our contemporary proceeds to observe:--" A word or two upon the other plan of prevention, by in fliction of penalty. Did those who talk of penalties as a .means of prevention ever hear of the working of the re venue laws upon other kinds of contraband traffic ? Do they know that the strongest prohibitions on the export ation of the precious metals have been constantly braved ' for a profit of an eighth per cent. ? Do they know what penalties the smuggler has hazarded when brandy, or tea, or tobacco has been at a high duty ? Do they know what risks the slave-trader is at this hour content to run, ' not only of his property, but of his person ? And even if there were not this actual experience of analogy, does not common sense itself apprize them, that where the poor man has that to bestow which the rich man is desirous to obtain, there, in spite of all the threats in the world, money will be the medium of the transfer? Neither, then, by multiplying suffrages, nor by imposing pecuniary or personal penalties, will you ever stop the practice of bribery. The only proceeding in the nature of a penalty which could be expected to produce the slightest advantage, would be the forfeiture of the abused franchise for the remainder of the voter's life."—The Times here takes the Tory view of the ques tion, especially as regards the extension of the suffrage, which there can be no doubt would greatly increase the difficulties of bribery by multiplying the number of elec tors to be bribed. And even supposing that this increase was among the poorer classes, who would be satisfied with a small bribe; still, more money would require to be expended than a candidate would like to give. Ex tend the suffrage, and conjointly with that extension give the Ballot, and you will have done all that can be done, to diminish the bribery and corruption now so generally complained of, yet so generally practised. The following observations are from the Herald : " The aristocracy of England, to be respected, must be full of moral and religious truth—both understood and practised.' We gladly confess that the majority are void of offence, that they are unobtrusively charitable, personally decorous, and externally pious ; but they are cold and reserved, and they confide not in the people ; they seek not their easily-acquired confidence ; they do not place themselves in their natural position, and direct public opinion ; and above all, they do not disassociate themselves from those who are discreditable to their seelsr. The people see the aristocracy too much through their vices, too little through their virtues ; they ima gine thernselves on one side of a gulf, and the nobles on another ; they fancy they are feared, and their intui tively generous feelings are turned by neglect to gall. The tempter interposes in the form of a Whig, a politi cal dissenter, a Radical, a Socialist, or a Chartist ; and the people are taught to hate those whom they are dis posed to love and admire. The fault is not in the people ; ticy will rely on some influence—evil if it be not good. It is in the aristocracy, who disregard and fail to cherish the most natural of all connections—that between the highest and lowest of mankind."— There is much truth in the Herald's remark about the " cold and reserved" character of the aristocracy. They are in the habit of keeping far too aloof from the people, as if they were a superior order of humanity—fashioned of precious porcelain, instead of mere clay. The worst of it is, that this haughty exclusiveness does not stop with them, f,:r the infection of their example spreads ; and every aspiring adventurer who has scraped together a little money, hastens to separate himself from the class from which he sprung ; affects an aristocratic hauteur; and copies as closely as he can, the, cold reserve of those above him, and into whose society it is the darling ob ject of his ambition to intrude himself. Thus by degrees —for the process is slow but sure—society becomes split into three distinct classes— the aristocratic, the would be-aristocratic, and ' the democratic--the two first of whom combine their energies to oppress and trample on the last. Half the evils of society—which, by the bye, no legislation can reach—arise out of these jealous dif ferences ! The Morning Chronicle gives the following distressing account of several recent heavy failures in the West of Scotland :—" We regret to learn by letters from Glas gow that there have peen within a short period three commercial failures in that city. The first, on Saturday week, was a commission-house connected with North America. Liabilities estimated at 40,0001. The cause assigned was the want of remittances by the Britannia. A considerable portion of this sum is due to that de voted town Paisley. The second was a calico-printing concern, on Saturday last—not in extensive business. The third, and most important, took place on Monday last. It was in the shipping and commission business, and the liabilities are estimated at from 40,0001 to 60,00 M. The failure was unexpected, and the cause as signed is over-investment in West India produce. A Correspondent informs us that 'these failures had thrown an additional gloom over this commercial city ; and as there is no sign of improvement, the future prospect, particularly that for the next two months, is anything but cheering.',"—And while these ominous failures are taking place at Paisley and elsewhere—for the distress is by no means confined to the West of Scotland—what are Ministers doing—those Ministers who came into office for the ex press purpose of remedying the grievances of the coun try ? The answer is ready. They are endeavouring to shut their eyes to the truth of things, and to persuade themselves that there is no distress, at least none so severe as to demand their attention ! Day after day, hour after hour, increases the amount of suffering under which the people are labouring ; and all we hear of their; Tory rulers is, that some aro shooting, others hunting, and others idling away their time at watering places ! Well, the time of reckoning is at hand ; and our ultra-aristocratic Cabinet may regret, when too late, their infatuated policy in playing fast and loose with the best interests of the people. The Post observes—" A Contemporary has said, with no less truth than point, that, in their late position as a Government party, 'the Whigs could not afford to be honest.' The illustration given of this theory is the fact that the Whig Ministers sometimes abandoned their own measures—measures which they know to be just, and necessary for the remedy of proved abuses—because they found that some of their followers had an interest in the abuses, and these followers they could not afford to disoblige. This is very true, but the observation that in their late position the Whigs could not afford to be honest admits of still wider application, and of more important application, because the change in their posi tion opens a prospect of a great change for the better. They now can afford to be honest, and we hope they may avail themselves of the opportunity for consulting their own honour, and the country's advantage, which is presented by the present state of atlhirs."— If the Whigs, when in office, could not afford to be honest, how much less could the Tories afford to be so, when deprived of the emoluments of place ? But no thinking man ever yet accused Toryism of integrity, whether in, or out of office. In the ono case, it we..; re markable for nothing but its innate genius for jobbing; in the other, for its factious and unprincipled opposition. As for our Contemporary's expression of a hope that the Whigs will now be honest, he means that they can only manifest a sense of honesty by ceasing to act as an an tagonist party to Ministers, and sanctioning all their mea sures, no matter how absurd, or how short of the mark they may be. The following is from the Dublin Pilot :—" The hum bug of conciliation is abandoned, and Orangeism is once more in the ascendant. The principles of the Irish Go vernment are now openly avowed. The appointment. of Mr. Brewster would of itself have been more than suffie. cient exposure of the falsity and hypocrisy of their de clarations ; but the dismissal of Mr. Cahill has !licle ----- ' assurance doubly sure.' ---- ifie one was promoted be cause he is a Protestant and a violent Conservative; the other has been dismissed because he is a Catholic and a Liberal." The Wilts Independent has the following remarks on Sir Robert Peel :—" Of all the dishonest, evasive,and* shuffling expedients that ever were resorted to by any Ministry the waiting policy of Sir R. Peel is the most contemptible. Ho had no excuse whatever for such conduct, ho has never left the political arena, and he knows as much now of the state of the country, and as we/i what remedies to apply, as ke will in February. The truth is, he knows not what to do ; ambition urged him on to seek the post he has attained, and false pre tcneies have enabled him to reach it." The Derby Reporter observes of the Royal Speech : " The Peel-speech says something, and means—nothing. The people are assured that all such measures as shall appear, after mature consideration, best calculated to prevent the recurrence' of distress, will receive her Majesty's sanction—as if deep, heart-rending distress was not now stalking throughout the length and breadth of the land ! Nero fiddled while Rome was burning— reel and his followers will dine though the people starve !" IVIGNE'Z -TRAIT/ M-COMPSERCE. The Liverpool West India Steam Company are urged by Government to spare no expense or exertion in finish ing the fleet of fine steam frigates, which are to carry the mails. Seven of the largest of these vessels are very far advanced, and the whole sixteen must be ready, according to contract, on the Ist of January. AGRICULTURAL. A great deal of corn still remains unhoused in Wales, and the rains have greatly damaged the crops ' • the im mense importations, however, of foreign grain at Glouces ter have kept the markets down. STATISTICS. From the census of the city of Chester it appears there are of inhabited houses 4,800 ; uninhabited, 406 ; building, 291 ; females within the city, 10,667 ; males, 12,708 ; total, 23,375. The population in 1801 was 15,052 ; in 1831, 21,363. According to official statement there are 5,371 county magi.3trates in England and Wales. Of these 1,354 are clerical, and 4,017 laymen. The large parishes of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and St. George•the Martyr, by the census of 1321, had a popu lation of 41,728. The proportion of burials in 1832, at 20 per cent., would be 2,086 annually, and eight over. The burial grounds are as follow :—By the church in I'lolborn, lf acre; in Gray's Inn-lane, 3f acres ; St. George the Martyr, about 2 acres—together, 7 acres. Divide 2,036 by 7 it gives 298 per acre for the burials ; but if you allow* for the burials in cemeteries and else where, it gives 224 bodies annually for every acre of burial ground. Multi lying 224 by 9, for nine years' burials, from 1832 inclusive; to Christmas, 1840, it gives 2,016 bodies spread over every acre of burial-ground in 9 years ! _ NAITAL AND MILITARY. Rear-Admiral Sir Edward King, K.C.8., was at Rio Janeiro on the 26th of August, preparing to sail for the Rio de la Plata. Rear-Admiral Thomas was expected in the Brazils from England about the end of September. LAW AND POLICE. At the Uxbridge Petty Sessions on Thursday, Capt. Brew, formerly of the Scots Greys, now of the Middle . ex Militia, was held to bail for publishing a letter in the Windsor Express tending to a breach of the peace. The charge was preferred at the instance of Dr. Beasley, proprietor of an academy in Uxbridge, whom the defen dant alleged had published a pamphlet imputing to him want of decency and civility towards the corps. Mr. Laverty, who had been fined 51. some time ago at Marlborough-street, for alleged isapropet conduct to a female in Regent-street, presented himself yesterday before Mr. Hardwick, and made disclosures which led to the belief that the charge had not the slightest foun dation. Steps are to be taken to investigate this singu lar affair. At Queen•square the landlord of the Nag's Head, Knightsbridge, appeared on a summons at the instance of an Inspector of the name of Moran, charged with per mitting persons of .bad character to meet in his house. Mr. Clarkson, who was engaged for the defendant, was about to call witnesses, when Mr. Gregorie said he would save him the trouble, as it did not appear that any case was made out, and the conduct of the Inspector in taking the landlord into custody would be the sub. ject of inquiry before a superior Court. COURT-FILSTIZONABLE. Her Royal Highness the Duchess oiGlouees - ter arrived yesterday at Bersted Lodge, Bognor, on a visit to the Earl and Countess Mayo.
