MORNING SUIsl. • ELECTION MOVEMENTS. EAST SURREY NOMINATION. A County Court was held yesterday morning at ten, at the Town Hall, Croydon, before John Leveson Gower, Esq., the High Sheriff of the County, for the purpose of nominating two St and proper persons to serve as Knights of the Shire for the Eastern Division of the Comity of Surrey in the ensuing Parliament. There being no o p position to the return of the two late Members, H. Kemb le, Esq., and E. Antrobus, Esq., there was but little of the bustle usually attendant upon a county election, and persons passing through the quiet little town of Croydon, unless previously aware of the fact, would never have imagined that any thing extraordinary was going on. A quasi procession, unattended by bands or banners, was formed, for the purpose of escorting the candidates to the Town Hall, and on their arrival, shortly after ten o'clock, the proceedings commenced. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, DANIEL R. WARRINGTON, Esq., came forward to propose Henry Kemble, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey in the ensuing Parliament.—(Cheers and uproar ) He co n g ratulated the electors of East Surrey on being of the same opinion with the county at large, as had been shown by there being no opposi tion to the return of the two gentlemen who had so lately re presented them. Mr. Kemble had been for many years their representative, and had always by his conduct given the utmost satisfaction. He had great pleasure, then efore, in proposing that gentleman.—(Cheers and uproar.) Sir C. Perez had great pleasure in seconding the nomina tion, because Mr. Kemble had been a friend of his of thirty years' standing, and he had always found him through life a man of honour, industry, and of the strictest integrity._ (Cheers. ) He was glad to find that his past conduct in Par. liament had been such as to lead to his re-election without op position.—(Cheers.) A. K. BA RCLAY, Esq., proposed Edward Antrobus, Esq. He had formerly proposed that gentleman as a fit and proper person to repro smt them in Parliament, and he was happy to find from the result of the present proceedings, that they had been satisfied with his conduct. He now again proposed him, and the knowledge they all had of that gentleman's abilities and conduct, rendered any eulogium from him (Mr. B.) un necessary. The Hon. Gentleman then commenced a vehe ment attack upon the )Ministry and their measures in the usual strain, and concluded by saying that although the Ministers had appealed to the country that appeal had not been responded to, and the public had clearly shown that they were of opinion that the Ministers had brought forward the recent measures only to serve the most contemptible party purposes.—(Cheers and uproar.) He was glad there was no opposition on the presaut occasion, because he hoped that the absence of opposi tien would lead to the social harmony of the county. PAYNTER, Esq., seconded the nomination, and felt re joieed at the result of the election, because it would strengthen that majority which would hurl the Ministers from their places. —( Cheers and disapprobation.) A show of hands was then taken, and there being no other candidate, the Sheriff declared H. Kemble, Esq. and E. Antrobus, Esq. duly elected.—(Cheers and uproar.) KEM BLE then addressed the meeting amidst applause and slight hissing. He thanked them for placing him in his present proud position, having been unanimously re-elected as their representative, and under those circumstances he thought he should be acting with very bad taste, and in a wrong spirit if he en.ered much at large into the various topics which now agitated the public mind, but having been again returned to Parliament, he found it incumbent upon him to explsin to them what were his sentiments upon the present state of political affairs. When he appeared before them in 1837 lie was but little known, and he had no great influence in the county.—(A voice in the crowd, " and a good job if you had none now," laughter.) He then openly and candidly stated his principles, and he hoped the result had been that the electors were satisfied that he had acted up to them. He would venture to appeal to the bitterest political opponent he had whether he had compromised one principle he had announced on the hustings ? If he had erred it was an error of judgment, not of the heart. He went into Par liameut a determined opponent of the present Government, but at the same time he determined never to be a party to any factious opposition. In proot of that he voted with them in the very first division which took place after his return. So long as they conducted themselves in a proper manner, so long as they opposed themselves to revolutionary movements and all unnecessary changes in the Constitution, he had stood by them. But when they found their Whig supporters falling off, and when they threw themselves into the arms of the Radicals, he felt it his duty to abandon them. With regaru to the pre sent propositions, he was opposed to them, because they were put forth merely for the purpose of agitating the country. In his opinion, after the great change which was made by the Re form Bill, nothin g _ could be worse or more distressing to the best interests of the country, than constant agitation andcbange, which kept the country in a state of continual ferment. He would ask what had the Whigs done for the people ? They had now had the power in their hands for ten years, and what measures had they brought forward for the benefit of the people ? On the contrary, what could be more disgrace ful than the gross jobbing in the cases . of Sir John Newport and Lord Campbell? Let them turn to the most palmy days of Toryism, and they would not find any job to equal either of those. —( A voice in the crowd " What do you say as to cheap tea?") Why, that tea which when they entered office was at 9d. per pound, by their mismanagement was now selling at 2s. 2d. It was all very well to cry cut for cheap bread, cheap sugar, and cheap timber ; but how was it that the Go vernment proposed to cheapen the timber? Why, by doubling the duty upon the cheaper timber—upon that used by the poorer classes ; 600,0001. was proposed to be added to the re venue, which must be taken out of the pockets of the poor. On the subject of the Corn-laws he was wholly disinterested. He had ever been an advocate of the cause of the people, more especially of those engaged in agricultural pur suits, for while they were happy, so also must be the great body of the people. He was unwilling to touch the pro tection enjoyed by agriculture, because he was unwilling to teee his countrymen degraded to the station of the labouring classes in foreign countries. He was unwilling to deny to the labouring classes of this country the luxuries, he might call them, enjoyed by them ( Much laughter) which were not enjoyed by the labourinv, classes abroad. It was easy to cry out for cheap bread. His experience as a merchant enabled him to know that the cheapening of an article greatly increased its consumption, but ultimately, in the case of corn, it would prove to be a great evil. He had every confidence that the agricultural skill and the capital employ sd in agricultural pursuiis—he had a firm conviction, that this country was able to maintain itself, except at times of extraordinary scarcity, and then under our present laws we could obtain what we wanted. He was unwilling to encourage the foreigner in prefetence to our own countryman.—(Cheers.) An elector of - Surrey had sent him a pamphlet, which he had attentively read, in which lie stated that those duties taxed the country to the amount of 49.000,0001. But such state ments were so preposterous that he was certain no elector of Surrey would give credence to them for a single moment. He congratulated them and the country generally upon the vast and increasing majorities they had and were obtaining. Why even in Glasgow when the Conservative candidate at the last election had a majority of upwards of 600 against him ; upon the present occasion he had reduced the majority to only 300. Ile congratulated the electors of East Surrey and the coun try that they had sent two Members to Parliament which would assist in expelling from her Majesty's Council 3 those men who had so incompetently reigned over the country for so many years. Again thanking them for the honour con ferred upon him, he withdrew amiost loud cheers. Mr. A NTROBUS begged to thank them for sending him to Parliament for the second time. He came before them as a sup: orter of the Throne, and of the Constitution in Church and State, and a determined opponent of those persons now in office who had proposed the destructive measures of abo lishing the present Corn-laws, and interfering with the duties on Sugar and Timber. How could those measures be beneficial, when they would be destructive to the whole agri cultural interests of the country ? Those measures were speci fied as cheap sugar, cheap timber, arid cheap corn. Was there one amongst them who for one half-farthin g per pound upon their sugar, would run the hazard of rein troducing the ac cursed s 3 stem of silvery ?—( Cheers and uproar.) The measure would not only have that result, but would go far to ruin our own colonies, which were the best outlets for our manufactures. The chief measure, however, upon which the Government depended was the Corn question. But did they (the electors) know that cheap corn meant nei ther more nor less than low wages ?—( Uproar and laughter. ) The one must follow the other—they could not have them s eparate. In exchange for the present laws it was proposed that they should have a fixed duty. Ile would ask, how was the dut to be levied when corn was at 70s. ? '1 he farmer in this country required protection because he was taxed fir higher than the serf of Poland. The proposed duty was Si. and Mr. M'Cul loch, their greatest writer, had shown that that was actually 2s. 3d. more than corn had paid during a long series of years. Such a duty would in bad seasons starve the artisan, and in a year of plenty it would ruin the agriculturist. For his (Mr. A's) part, he thought the measures proposed by the Government would be most destructive to all the interests of the country. Although young, he had seen the time when h au en d He t y w e a e i is o t l d u e n n d o e u r g h a Ministry commenced with a surplus of several milli in a short time endcd with a deficit. - (Cheers andinutPirmcaer—of A voice, " You are not old enough.") to have seen that at any rate.—( o C u h rs ezrs m .) lis peace and happiness, which, 'Whig Ministry, they h ad suffered a deficiency ofeouffna the mil lions, lions, and how had i t been caused? By taking fazes rich and laying others on the poor. There was a million and a half lost by the Postage Act, a tax which pressed entirely on the rich, and they Low proposed the m easures which had led to the dis solution of Parliament, and which, they told the people, would increase the revenue and reduce taxation. He had ever op posed these measures, and he s hould oppose them again as their representative in Parliament, because _ u he believed that With they also were opposed to them. — ( Cheers and p ) respect to other measures, he should conscientiously oppose such as he considered would be prejudicial to the public good, while he would as strenuous!), s upport others of a different character.—( Hear, hear.) He had ow on sure ly to return thanks to them for their kindness, and n to as them that lie would give to the duties they had devolved upon him all the attention they demanded; and with reference to the private concerns of the county, they would ever find bim ready to assist them, unbiassed by party feel ngs—( Cheers)-- and happy to act with them who had opposed him, if he should consider the measures they proposed satisfactory, and likely to be conducive to their interests.—(Cheers.) For the honour they had done him he beeeeed once more to thank them ; and still more Ur the good feeling which subsisted among them, and which he t rusted would ever cont inue. —( Loud cheers.) Mr. KEMBLE then proposed a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff for his impartial conduct, which was seconded by Mr. Antrobus, and carried by acclamation. The limn Stream briefly returned thanks, and the meet ing separated. DINNER TO St It u. GREY AT - DEVONPORT. lievots PORT, TUESDAY, JULY 6.--Last evening Sir George Grey was entertained at a public dinner by his constituents at the George Hotel, Stonehouse, when upwards of a hundred of the most independent and consistent Reformers of the neighbourhood assembled to do honour to the Right Hon. Baronet on the occasion. Mr. Burrows presided. The cloth having been removed, the usual loyal toasts were given and heartily responded to. The next toast given was "Lord Melbourne and her Ma jesty's Ministers," which was received with repeated rounds of applause. Sir GEORGE G EY said, as one of her Majesty's Ministers, he rose to thank them for the honour they had done him, in the manner in which they had received the last toast. If they looked back to the beginning of the present century, they would find that the heads of the party which he felt a pride and satisfaction to belong to, quitted office because they were thwarted in their attempts to extend civil and religious liberty, by extending to different sects and denominations that franchise which they possessed themselves.—( Cheers. ) The first great step - of emancipation of the negroes was ef fected by men who had long advocated that measure out of office, and who, when in office, made the power of that posi tion subservient to the abolition of the slave-trade.--( Cheers. ) Without making those principles instruments for maintain ing themselves in office, the great principles of civil and re ligious lib er t y h a d been; asserted by them. His Noble Friend Lord John Russell, when sitting on the Opposition side of the House, p roposed though a Tory to astarY t that measure, which passed into a law, was in power, and opposed it to the last ; yielding motion made by thatajc‘firsit'y of the House of Commons on a principles Member of the Opposi tion. The great with whom had been advocated for many years by the party whom he was conn e ct e d, and they were brought forward col when u _ that party o bt a i ne d d alone insure th e sue . e '.ender circumstances which cess of those great measures, under a Ministry who sincerely and earnestly desired to see them obtain success. When these principles were submitted to Parliament, they tri umphed in a manner unexampled in all previous history..— ( Cheers.) He could not forget that the total emancipation of the slaves came from the same hands and in the same way, by the voice of the people, who submittted to a glorious sa crifice, one that would long be recorded in the page of history, but who by that sacrifice effected an act of humanity and be nevolence that ought long ago to have been achieved, but which, he believed, was one of the direct effects of the Re form Bill, which gave the people a greater influence in the affairs of the country. It was glorious to look back on th's first act of the people's power; an act totally devoid of selfish ness—an act of pure benevolence—an act which imposed in deed a great additional burden on the people ; but -which struck off for ever from their fellow-subjects in the Wed Indies the fetters that had galled them for centuries. —(Loud cheering.) When he looked back on this act, and on others that he could enumerate, he must say, that this Ministry, traduced as it might be, and degraded as it might be termed, yet it was one with which he felt it a pride and honour to be connected, containing, as it did, names associated with their cause, and whose opinions were in accordance with those of the great body of the people—to be connected with those who had now propounded the principles of commercial freedom, which he believed were essential to the welfare and the prosperity of the country, and which he was sure were not intended or calculated to promote the in terest of any one class against the interest of another class, but were calculated to raise the prosperity, to increase the re sources, to develop the industry, and to augment the power of the empire, over which ruled their beloved Queen —prin ciples which he had an intimate conviction must ultimately triumph.—(Tremendous cheers.) And in saying ultimately, he did not look forward to a distant period, for the more those questions were discussed the sooner they would prevail ; even the discussion that was then going on in every borough in the kingdom, and on every hustings, would, irrespective of the immediate result, tend more than anything else to the triumph of those principles, if not in the Parliament about to be as sembled, yet in Parliament, and at an early period.—( Cheers). Many of them perhaps had read the address of Sir Robert Peel to the electors of Tamworth, and they would remark the care and the eagerness with which he disavowed the declara tions and manifestations of those who had previously looked up to him as their public leader, and who swore by him, while they vowed eternal opposition to the present measures. He dis claimed those sentiments to the electors of Tamworth, or rather to the constituencies of the empire, addressing them through the electors of Tamworth ; and he believed he would be obliged to accept them, from the necessity of the case.— (Cheers.) The Ministers of the country, with the confidence of the Crown, bad proposed measures which they believed emi nently calculated to increase the prosperity of the country ; but should they cease to be the Ministers of the Crown, then their part would be, in opposition, to advocate the same priticipin they had advocated in office, and to compel those who held place and power, to conform to the principles they (die Go vernment) professed. The company did not immediately separate, and several other excellent speeches were delivered. , IN VERNE SS. On Wednesday last the election of a Representive for the Burghs of Inverness, Nairn, Forces, and Fortrose, took place. Provost neon then came forward, and proposed that James Morrison, Esq., of Fonthill, Wiltshire, be our Repre sentative in the ensuing Parliament, and craved of them three cheer% for Mr. Morrison.—(The cheers were cordially given by the crowd.) J. SMITH, Esq., architect, seconded the nomination. The SHERIFF asked if any gentleman had another candi date to propose ? No appearance of the kind being made, the Learned Gentleman declared Mr. Morrison, of Fonthill, to be duly elected. Mr. Moaaisox then came forward, and was received with loud cheering. Silence being obtained, he proceeded in sub stance as follows :—Gentlemen, I have to thank you for having a second time elected me as your representative in Parliament. With refeience to the period that has elapsed since you sent me to the House of Commons, I have but a beggarly account to render of measures of importance passed through Parliament. I shall allude to two of these, because they intimately con cern the interests of this part of the empire: First, as to the Committee on Highland emigration, moved for by the member for the county of Inverness. I can only on this occasion direct your attention to the important evidence laid before that Committee ; but at the same time I cannot help remarking, that it has confirmed me in the opinion I have long enter tained, that a general Poor-law is necessary for Scotland to remedy the existing evils and to prevent their recurrence. A measure of this kind cannot, I think, long be delayed. Such a law appears necessary, not only to relieve the rural population but to protect the towns from the influx of paupers pressed in upon them from the country. The other measure affecting Scotland to which I have to allude, is the inquiry before the Committee on banks of issue. (Hear, hear.) An ap prehension seems to have prevailed at one time that it was the intentiou of the Committee to recommend a material altera tion in the present system of banking in Scotland. I really do not understand upon what that apprehension was founded. I doubt if there were half a dozen members in that Committee, or a dozen out of it, who ever entertained the idea that it was desirable, or, if desirable, practicable, to disturb the existing system. No Minister, whether Whig or Tory, would be rash enough to make the attempt, because he would be sure to fail.—(Cheers.) We had at the end of the financial year, a deficiency to provide for of nearly two millions sterling. I do not say that any one was to blame ; circumstances had forced these things upon us. But, at all events, the Conservative party cannot complain ; because they were continually charg ing the Government with having pared down the national establishments too much—for having neglected to make ade quate provision for. asserting the national honour in cases of emergency. They complained that our naval depots were de ficient in • stores, and that we had not as many ships afloat as the neighbouring kingdom of France. The day of reckoning, however, arrived. What was the Chancellor of the Exchequer to do? It is exceedingly difficult to devise a new tax. If we look to articles of consumption, it is easy to increase the duties, but it is doubtful whether we should increase the revenue by doing so. Take that of spirits. If we in crease the duty we should revive illicit distillation— the curse of every country where it prevails. If we had increased the duty en sugar, we should have diminished consumption—if tobacco, we should only have increased smug gling. We are told that Ministers might have restored the o.d rate of postage. I scarcely need say that the public would not have permitted a measure so universally popular to have been overthrown. Let the Tories try it next year if they can -(Cheers and laughter.) I admit that the reduction of postage, as a financial measure, is not to be justified—it was perhaps a blunder—but, as a measure of relief, it cannot be too highly estimated. We, in Scotland, I am sure, feel its value too much to consent, without a struggle, to a return to the old system.—( Loud cheers.) I am happy to say that —from a pamphlet lately published by . Mr. Rowland Hill, it appears that the number of letters is progreisively in creasing, and that there is every prospect of the revenue ultimately reaching the greater part of its former amount.— (Cheers.) We must not- forget that the Tories were con senting parties to this repeal, for they supported it in Parliament. It appears to me impossible that we could have made up the deficiency in the revenue without resorting to some direct tax on property. We might, for example, have restored the tax on houses, or imposed a probate duty on the descent on real property, similar to that now levied on perso nal property. It is obvious, however, that these measures could not have been carried so long as the laws respecting the sugar and timber duties, and the corn, remained untouched. Fully convinced of this, in the early part of the session about sixty Members met together at the Thatched-house Tavern, and passed a series of resolutions, strongly recommending a revi sion of the duties upon imports. On that occasion I had the honour to move the first resolution. The course thus recom mended was ultimately adopted by the Government as the four:dation of their budget. By this plan it was proposed to meet the demands of the Treasury, not by increased taxation but Lby an alteration of the duties now levied on those three leading articles in our customs duties. The proposed alteration is not a new, nor exclusively a Whig plan. A similar plan was proposed by the p r esent Lord Glenelg, when a member of the Duke of Wellington's administration, and avowedly sanctioned by the authority of Mr. Huskisson. But there are other con siderations which renders some measure of this sort unavoidable whoever may be Minister. Our commercial treaty with Brazil is about to expire. She has been in the habit of taking from us manufactures to the extent of above three millions sterling annually;, whilst her two leading articles of production, sugar and coffee, by a duty so high as to amount to ah actual prohibition, have been excluded from our market. They have given notice, as might have been expected, of their intention not to renew their treaty with us on the same terms. Ten years ago, when that treaty was made, there were reasons why the Brazilians should have given us the advantages it conferred. Since then, the different States in the north of Germany have united together, adopting the free circulation of commodities amongst the whole, and acting, in their commercial intercourse with other nations, as one body, forming . what is called the Prussian League. This had led to great increase in their manufactures, and created a desire to extend the consumption of them in other countries, as well as at home. There is nothing to pre vent them from offering the monopoly of a market of thirty millions of consumers of the sugar and coffee of the Brazils, provided that an advantage be given to their manufactures over those of other nations—thus materially diminishing, or actually excluding, the manufactures of England. In the present state of our manufacturing population, we could not be deprived of a customer to the amount I have named with ou t pro d uc i n g great misery, and inflicting evils .. whi c h I h ope no Mi n i s t er wou ld voluntarily undertake. All commerce is ultimately barter. If we wish to extend our exports we must encourage imports. We cannot hope to form commercial treaties with other countries whilst we practically eexomclumdeerctehewiritroductions. We cannot hope to extend our alter our senndoretohrwof duties; or o u r nle to ss preserve, our increase, we are prepared or even tt to little can we ho pe L s esent trade with the Brazils and other foreign colonies take their sugar and coffee. As with our very •e:, to improve our commercial relations America, so long as, by eustomers, the United States of duties, we virtually the present regulation of our corn ej:t e lude their flour.—( Loud cheers. ) Gentlemen, these are de pended alone upon the real e . r q e u i e s s o o questions doubta t issue. that a t t hlef former m erf Parliament. b B , avtrength of the agricultural_ and manufacturing interes r , t e s enabled effectually to resist any wmeasureould,biyn their influence, i H n o fl u u s e e n s c o e still stronger—higher considerationsesnmnustut th e r prevail—thee is apoi d v e e_r de mands of htmger and destitution long be resisted; am quite satisfied and whoever is Minister, Whig or Tory, et first t roduced must, that some such measures as those recert h ly th m e ev o u o res Sir at no distant day, be adopted. One of the Robert Peel will have to introduce of which he is a declared and film supporter. I doubt, r-law, indeed, if there are a dozen respectable men of the Conservative party, of any mark or consequence, who e not friendly to t hat measure. His su pp orters will not be able to make the unfair use of it hereafter which they have done on many recent occasions. There is one other ques tion, gentlemen, of great interest in Scotland, respecting which I must say a few words—the question of the Scottish Church. I shall be glad to support any measure which is calculated to give the people additional power, in this as in other cases. I shall consequently give my cordial support to the Bill introduced by the Duke of Argyll, and oppose that of Lord Aberdeen, if the latter should be attempted to be carried. With respect to the spiritual authority of the General Assembly, like every other body, they must possess within themselves the power of discipline among their own members; but in the i present state of matters it appears to me that early legislation is ndispens- able. The Honourable Member then retired with his frienis from the hustings, and proceeded, amidst the cheers of the crowd, to the hotel. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have received information that Sir George Sinclair will not contest the county of Caithness , consequently Mr. Trail, the Liberal candidate, will walk the course. This will be one in favour of the Liberals, and so far will help to make up their loss. A meeting of the friends of Sir George and Mr. Trail was held at Wick, when a minute to the above effect was agreed upon, the Conservatives binding themselves not to bring forward any other candidate. The extensive and well-known grape-vine at Cumberland Lodge (supposed to be the largest in the world) is expected to produce this year, a more than usually abun dant crop. The enormous quantity of 14,000 bunches have just been cut off, to leave room for the thousands which re main to grow andripen. THE' SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1841 friends. We were delighted to see this attempted attack repelled in a manly and spirited manner by Mr. SAMUEL WHITBREAD. The insurrection in Crete' begins to excite so much interest in Paris, that our Contemporaries can no longer remain silent respecting it. Accordingly, the' Chronicle of Tuesday breaks silence with the fol lowing attack on the brave Cretans : " We will yield to none in interest for the Greeks ; but we cannot approve of that abetting of their discontent which can lead merely to bloodshed, and to no other ulterior result. The upshot of the great Greek insurrection was to secure for the Greeks, by the intervention of European Powers, the tranquil possession of almost all their old country. The inde pendence even of this portion the Greeks would not have been able to maintain against Mussulman force, except by the sup port, military, naval, and diplomatic, of the Christian Powers. But it was not the intention of the Christian Powers to crush altogether the Mussulman population. And it would now be very unfair, after the recent settle ment of Greece, to come forward with a new crusade against the Turks. It would be not only unfair, but dangerous ; for Crete, if taken from the Turks, must be under the protec tion of some European Power. More than one would dispute it. And thus, from philanthropy towards Greece might spring a sanguinary war between the Europeans. In the settlement of Greece, Crete was not included in that kingdom, probably because the Turks had not been driven from it. And, perhaps, the inte rest towards the Greeks of the island was dimi nished by the known fact of their being the most audacious and relentless pi. ates of the Mediterranean. It may be added that the experiment of a Greek island, under a Greek Prince, with especial privileges, but under Turkish suzerainty, did not at all succeed in the case of Samos. Per haps, then, the wisest efforts of the Philhellens should be di- rected t,:wards securing for the Greeks under Turkish sway such rights as the edict of Gulhane promises. We have strong hopes of the regeneration of Turkey, not by the Turks resuminr , their ancient superiority as an exclusive, tyranni cal, and conquering race, but from a better amalgamation of races. But whether this takes place or not, the Greeks have more to gain at present by peace than by war ; for every year adds to their force, whilst it diminishes the number of the Turks." borne twenty-four years ago the Chronicle urged the same prudential reasons, and others still stronger, against the insurrection of the Greeks of the Morea ; and had the gallant HYPSILANTIS, SOTIRI, KRARALAMPI, MAI"- ROCORDATOS, INEGRIS, COLETTI, BOTZARIS, and CA NARIS in 1823 listened to the sage counsels of their pseudo friends among the Liberal press in England, there would have been be no Great Powers to guarantee the freedom of their country in 1827. The Chronicle ought to blush to remind the Greeks that they owe their independence to the interference of the Great Powers, in the face of the well-known fact that but for the bad faith of these Powers towards the Patriots, and the indi rect assistance which they lent the SULTAN, the Greeks would have achieved their independence unaided three years at least before they succeeded in for ever casting from them the Ottoman yoke. If the Great Powers delivered Greece by what the Duke of WEL LINGTON described as an " untoward event," the destruc tion of the Turki4l fleet at Navarino in 1827, we must not forget that British interference saved that fleet by protecting it in the canal of Corfu in 1823.- Only a few weeks after the inhuman massacre by the Turks of 20,000 of the peaceable inhabitants of thelsland of Chios, under the protection of the ladies of the Imperial Seraglio ! In the excess of its caution the Chronicle passes in review the dangers that would arise from placing the in dependent Cretans under the protection of any of the Great,Powers. This is a difficulty surmountable at very little risk. When the proper time arrives, we shall be quite ready to discuss it. The Chronicle is at all times eloquent about the rights secured to the Christian subjects of the Porte by the hatti scheriff of Gulhane. Our Contemporary knows very little about the Turks if he supposes that the habits engendered by centuries of domination are removable by a paper edict bearing the signature of ADD-UL-MEDJID. They are in Europe the same fanatical, ignorant, cruel race that they ever were from the period when they first gained a footing in it. Nor could the Cretans choose a better time for asserting their independence than when all Europe is a witness of the barbarity and want of good fitith of the Turks in Syria. Moreover the Cretans would have long since proclaimed their freedom had . not their chains been riveted by the iron despotism of MEHEMET ALI. In depriving the VICEROY of the government of the island the SULTAN virtually extinguished the sway of the Moslems in Crete. To the gallant Cretans, then, we with every success ! In Europe the Crescent must henceforth yield to the Cross, and GOD forbid that we should be found arrayed against the oppressed elevators of that sacred banner in a. cause so worthy of Heaven's protection as that of liberty. The efforts which the Cretins are making for their independence in the field are thus summed up in a letter from Athens of the 15th ult.:— " The war has increased into an ir.veterate conflict in the mountains of Spakia. On the 4th the Turks who had entered on these heights were suddenly attacked in the rear, and all their courage was inadequate to defend them from the masses of stones which were hurled down upon them from the sum mits by their almost invisible enemies. A detachment of 300 Arabs was, as it were, engaged between two inaccessible mountains, and forced to surrender. The insurgents estimate their own losses upon this day at from 300 to 400 men, but make that of the £tlussulmans, including prisoners, amount to between 1,000 and 1,200. On the 13. h another battle was fought with great fury. The attack was general. At one moment the Turks gained several advantageous positions, from which, however, they were afterwards dislodged by the intre pidity of their opponents, and obliged to fall back on Vassa. The Christians have now four guns. On the 14th there were some slight skirmishes K ithout any consequential results. The deserters from the garrisons of the Peloponnesus to Camila continue to be nuaierons, and among them are said to be se veral Germans." Nor do the Cretans rely wholly upon their own re sources against the whole weight and fury of the Turkish empire. The following correspondence, which we copy from the columns of the Debuts, manifests the extent to which they calculate upon the sympathy of the Christian States—sympathy which we trust wilt not be withheld from them. They must conquer or perish, as from the Turks it would be madness for them to expect mercy, were all Europe to unite in guaranteeing it to them TO TILE MEMBERS OF THE OLD GREEK COMMITTEE OF PARIS, VISCOUNT DE CHATEAUBRIAND, THE DUKE DE BROGLIE, THE COUNT DE ST. ACLAIRE, MARSHAL SE BASTIAN', SL. VILLEMAINE, THE DUKE D'HARCOURT, M. BENJAMIN DELESSERT, &c. - " GENEVA, JUNE 30. " Gentlemen and former Colleagues, " It is a duty for roe to inform you immediately of the letter I have this instant received from the Cretan Commission. Time not permitting me to write to each of you individually, I take the liberty of addressing my letter to the Journal des Debats, which will, I hope, give it insertion. " It appears to me impossible, gentlemen, to remain deaf to the cries of distress of these unhappy people. If European policy cannot, on account of its engagements with the Porte, come to their assistance, let the feeling of humanity which exists in the bosoms of the people replace that which their Go vernments cannot do. Insurrection of all kinds is to be de plored ; but as that has taken place, and the vengeance of the Turks is ready to massacre Christians who only ask for their liberty and independence, ought we not to assist them ? Let us again, gentlemen, form philanthropic Committees ; Christian Sovereigns cannot blame, and if they once allowed us to assist the Greeks, would they now oppose our efforts to save the Christians of the east ? " The circumstantial details which I have received, and which I shall have the honour of hying before Sou, prove that the unfortunate Cretans will he treated with the most frightful barbarity if they yield; the massacres which were perpetrated in Crete after the Greek revolution, shows the fate reserved for the inhabitants of that island. In concluding this letter, I permit myself to invite all the ancient Committees of France, Germany, and Switzerland, who are interested in the cause of the Greeks, to again unite, in order to send assistance to the oppressed Christians.—Accept, Gentlemen, &e., " J. G. EYNARD." "TO 11._ EYNARD. "Monsieur le Chevalier,—Your name is ever connected with the enfranchisement of Greece, and whenever the Greek peo ple, who are still under the Ottoman yoke, shall seek to break it, they will throw towards you and your cellegues of the Com mittee of Paris their suppliant looks, certain to find noble and generous sympathies among those who have done so much to procure the freedom of Greece. You will already have beard of the holy insurrection of the Chi istian inhabitants of the island of Crete ; the cares which we have been compelled to give to our unhappy brethren about to suffer all the horrors of a war of extermination, or to rise from a state of the most abject servitude, have alone pre vented us from making known to you immediately the resolu tion of the Cretans, and the events which have been the con sequences of it. " To spare the recital of details, which from their having taken phee have lost much of their importance, we take the liberty of sending you annexed an account of this new insur rection of the Cretans, and of the causes which have brough it about. We'entreat you, Sir, at the same time, as well as all your illustrious colleagues of the Committee of Paris, to take our cause in hand, to rai e in our defence those powerful voices which brought about the general mbirement which electrified Europe in our favour. " Since the publication of the memoir which we have s,:at you, blood has been spilt in several places, arid our unfortunatelcountrymen, although deprived of arms and ammunition, have sustained heriosm the first efforts of our enemy, who, stimulated by an infernal policy, have flocked in their troops, hoping to drown in the blood of the Christians every sentiment of liberty, and, by their celerity of action, to prevent the great powers having time to interfere. " Let the friends of humanity, let those who, like you and your colleagues, haves acquired immortal claims to the grati tude of the GI eeks, counteract, by the promptitude and efficley of their steps, the plans which tend to the destruction of an heroic people, so unjustly sa crified in 1830. "We conclude, Sir, .by informing your colleagues of the Committee of Paris of our letter; we conjure them to grant us once more their powerful protection , a nd to raise their voices and your own in favour of unhappy Christians, and to accept beforehand the expression of the gratitude and respec 4 of your humble servants, (Signed) " M.

" Athens, May 28 (June 9 1841)." We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Tuesday. Most of their leading articles relate to the election contests in this country ; and, truth to say, the reports of bribery among us have obtained for us a hearty mud-pelting from the immaculate Liberals of the Paris. Press. But missiles from such a distance, and such a quarter affect John Bull less than the Lilliputian archery did the spectacle-defended eyes of the immortal GULLIVER. But although little is said upon the subject we begin to perceive that, as brother JONATHAN would say, mat ters are wearing an ugly look between France and England in the Mediterranean.

The large space occupied by our Railroad Map, corn pets us to be very brief. It is impossible, however, to publish such a description of this stupendous invention, and its rapid development over the whole empire, bring ing the most remote parts as near to each other, for all the essential purposes of communication, as the extre mities of the metropolis, and making all England into one city, without remarking that the stationary or Con servative policy which now seems for a moment to have obtained the upper hand in Parliament, is founded on a principle in all respects opposed to that principle of rapid improvement and rapid communication which is exem plified in Railroads. The language they speak, both morally and physically, and which all men speak who use and make them, is, .` Go-ahead ;" the language of Conservatives is, " Stand still." " Let us," say the inven tors of railroads, of locomotive engines, of spin ning -mules, of all new processes in art, con stituting the bulk of the people, " have some thing better, more convenient, and more useful than our fathers possessed" ; but the Conservatives say " our fathers made the best of all possible laws, framed the best of all possible Constitutions, had the purest and most intelligent of all Churches, and we will resist all change, because the best possible laws and institutions can only be changed for the worst." They believe that before men had invented steam-engines or railroads they had in vented a perfect Government, which time can neither cor rupt nor improve, and they are now to carry it on in op position to that progress which is and ever has been as essentially the principle of society as gravity is of matter. The rapidity with which railroads have come into use should astound the Conservative politicians. Within twelve years they have all been made. Such a stride was never before taken ; and it is impossible to reflect that the population of this country is now doubling itself within thirty or forty years, while in the previous century it required SO, and before that 200, and probably from the time of the Norman Conquest scarcely doubled itself in 300 years, without concluding that the progress which Sir R. PEEL iS to take office to resist is proceed ing in an accelerating ratio. After all the Reforms made by the Whigs they are actually taunted by some of their opponents with not having proposed at an earlier period their measures of commercial reform. The truth is, that the rapid progress of society in modern times, to which the formation of railways is an index, has made the bulk of our laws, like stage coaches and post-chaises, which have been forced off the road, no longer suitable to society. The Legislature has not reformed half enough, and that Conservative body which is now to be augmented has already been much too pre dominant in it for the public welfare. The most backward part of society, and the most Con servativ', has obtained a temporary mastership in the Legislature. It has already done immense and irredeemable mischief by irrecoverably wasting much precious time. The gross mistake has been com mitted, by factious and party . men, of ascribing all our existing evils to mal-administration, instead of erro neous and wicked legislation ; and while the only means of relief is to be found in an alteration of the law, the electoral body, under the direction of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Co., requires a change in the Ministers. Those who have, perhaps wilfully, made this mistake will be re sponsible for it to the country. The deed, however, has now been done : the Legislature is constituted more Conservative, more hostile to the natural and inevitable progress of society, and as sure as railways shall extend, and the population increases, so sure must such a Le ffislature either destroy society or be destroyed. We are net in the habit of making any comment upon speeches delivered on the hustings. We endeavour to report them faithfully, and leave those most interested to make their own comments. But we feel compelled to notice the presumptuous assertion of the Tories at the nomination of candidates for the county of Middlesex yesterday, as the matter passed under our own eyes. Mr. NEWDIGATE, in seconding the nomination of Mr. WooD, took occasion to tell Mr. BYNG that he was there merely upon sufferance, that he was the tolerated Member for Mid dlesex. Mr. NEWDIGATE had the presumption further to warn Mr. BYNG that there was a limit to toleration, and expressed his earnest hope that he would not again put them in the same painful situation. By whose sufferance or toleration Mr. BYNG still continues for the 15th time Member for Middlesex, we are at a loss to know. We happen to know something•of the county of Middlesex ourselves, and it is a fact, that, up to the latest moment; Mr. WOOD and his Tory friends were trembling in their shoes for fear of a second candidate being started in con junction with Mr. BYNG, and we honestly think the Li beral party are highly to blame for not having taken this course. If Mr. NEWDIGATE thinks that the small portion of Tories upon the hustings on Tuesday, comprise the sense of the county of Middl esex , we t e ll hi m then he is wofully mistaken, and it must indeed be an obtuse intellect that could not be convinced in the stirring scene of Tuesday which candidate was the choice of the meeting. Mr. BYNG, we tell them, is fixed in the hearts of the elec tors of Middlesex, and he is safe in the bands of-his of Tunis, with a view to extend her African con quests in that direction. As England is not yet disposed to suffer France to convert the Mediterranean into a French lake, her Government has kept a watch ful eye upon every proceeding of France in that quarter, and repeatedly called the attention of Spain to the defenceless condition of the Balearic Isles. 'We may presume that, as regarded the Regency of Tunis, England was not less explicit in making the Porte ac quainted with her views. In the Constitutionnel of Tues day we find the following letter from Tunis, dated the lath of June, from which it would appear that the Porte, aware of the intrigues which the BEY is carrying on with France, is prepared to take measures to enforce the allegiance of his vassal. The truth or false hood of the report about the fitting out of a Turkish squadron to reduce the BEY, to obedience, rests entirely upon the correspondent of the Con stitUtionnel. We only know for certain that France meditates wresting from Spain the island of Majorca, and that she will not succeed in doing so without perilling the peace of Europe. As this is a , British question we can speak of it with the more confidence. Now for the Tunis Correspondence of M. TmEns' organ : The Turkish Government is on the point of repeating the attempt, which it made without success on Tunis, in 1837. All the letters from Constantinople, written by. Turks to their rela tions and friends at Tunis, agree in stating that an expedition against the Regency has been resolved on in the Council of Ministers. Letters from Malta announce that several English men-of war were waiting for the arrival of the Turkish squadron to join it, and to come here to favour the landing of the Sultan's troops. The Bey, who has been aware of the projects of the Sublime Porte, is regularly informed by his agent of the preparations which are making against him, and without any hope of resisting by force the projects of the Sul tan, supported by Lord Palmerston, he is endeavouring, by an anticipated submission by presents, and lately by, compliance with the desires of England, to resist the blow which threatens him, or, at the least, to act so that the conditions to be imposed on him, shall be less severe. Accor dingly, he has just despatched to Constantinople a brig, loaded with presents for the Sultan, the Minister, and the most influential Members of the Divan. Such is the cause of the loss of the influence of. France here, and of the change in the policy of the Bey with respect to us. However we can affirm that the Bey is more inclined to France than to England, and his conduct hitherto sufficiently proves this. " if the destiny which Lord Palmerston is preparing for the Re gency of Tunis be realised, what will become of the debt due to us, and above all, what will become of Algeria? We shall have no alternative but either to evacuate or to double our force there, in order to maintain our possessions, and to suppress the continual uneasiness which the Turks and the Engl sh will not fail to excite." Since the arrival of General Bugeaud in Algeria, the mer chants of Turin have received large orders for oxen, and the Bey has hastened to prohibit the exportation. But as this general mea sure affected also the trade with Malta, which imports all its oxen from this quarter, means have been found to evade the decree in favour of the English, and recently a rich Mus sulman, Ben Hyot, has exported '2OO oxen to Malta, under a pretence that he was making a present of them; It is pro bable that other presents of the same kind will follow the first, in order to show that this prohibitory . decree was only against the French. He had also had here within - the last two two months, a,Captain of Cavalry, M. de Lacombe, on a mis sion to procure horses for the cavalry, and although there is abundance of horses in the country, the Bey would only grant a permission for the exportation of ten. This fact is the more remarkable, as on the last five occasions of purchasing horses for the French cavalry, before the arrival of M. de Lacombe, all the horses wanted were purchased at from 250 to 350 francs each. Informed of the refusal of the Bey, General Begeaud wrote to himself to request him to give more extension to his tescheret (permission), and he then permitted the exportation of fifty horses ; but the Bey took care first to communicate the letter to the English Consul, and to ask his advice on the subject." Of general news there is an absolute dearth in the French Papers. The following paragraphs interesting to commercial readers relieve them from absolute ste rility : RuSSIAN LOA N. —" The sixteen millions of florins,' says the Siecle, " which the house of Hope and Co. has sent into the market at Amsterstam, belong to the last series of the loan contracted by Russia two months ago. The disposal of this series has not been so ready nor so easy as usual, because it has got rumoured about, and designedly, that the Russian Government was shortly going to contract a new loan of 80 millions of francs. This loan will be made, it is said, in the name of the provinces of the former kingdom of Poland, because Russia foresees the possibility of a case arising in which, as the consequence of a partition of Turkey, this part of Poland might be ceded to Prussia, who would then settle as she liked about this loan, which will be Polish only in name." The price of the New Austrian Five per Cent. Loan is said by the Cologne Gazette, to be, in reality. a little under the no minal price, 104 f, on account of the benefits granted to the contractors. The Siecle says that the bankers who have taken this loan are to be allowed five per cent. premium, and two per cent. commission. Much contradiction still prevails as to the amount of the loan, which we have seen variously estimated at from 36,000,000 to 60,000,000 florins. The Temps says :—" There is much talk of a failure for 3,000,090 f. by one of the first banking-houses of Paris, which would also take away 500,000 f. from another banking-house, which is always mixed up with these sinister financial ru mours. But, fortunately for this house, the present, like all the former reports spreal to its prejudice, are unfounded, and have not shaken its credit. The firm which has stopped pay ment is the respectable house of Pierre, Hugues, Verntnac, and Co. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, JULY 6. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

The English, the people of the Netherlands, and the Americans lead the way in rail-roads, , but they have few followers. The elections in Ireland are going on favourably for the Liberal cause. Colonel Thomas,. a staunih Tory, has been turned out of Kinsale by Mr. Watson, a Libe - ; and O'Connell and Hutton, for Dublin, take th e lead of thzir competitors by several hundred votes. Scotland, also, is making amen'ls for the unaccountable loss of Falkirk and Haddington. Kilmarnock has 're trieved its character by rejecting Colquhoun, and so de "aided was Caithness in favour of Liberal measures, that Sir George Sinclair durst not show his face. Mr. Train, well known for his Liberal principles, was elected with out opposition. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JULY B.—On the motion of Sir George Farrant a discussion took place respecting the 'dis missal of Mr. Dyer from the magistracy on account of the charge made against him by the convict I'dedhurst. The de positions of the Governor, Chaplain, and Assistant Chaplain in Cold Bath-fields prison were read, from which it ap peared that a proposition had been made to Med burst, to get him released for 3,0001., which, accord ing to Mr. Dyer's account, was to go to a charity. Ihe con vict stated, that the person who made the proposition repre sented himself as a relative of Lady Normanby, and that the release would be obtained from Lord Normanby, on account of that conxection. The Chairman stated, on the authority of Lord Normanby and Mr. Dyer, senior, deceased, that no re• lation existed between the two families. The discussion led to no result. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the grounds of the Little Park for some time. Her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians rode out in a pony phaeton and four, in the afternoon, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the Countess Vilsin XIV., the Earl of Fingal, and Colonel Buckley. His Royal Highness Prince Albert accompanied her Majesty on horseback, attended by Colonel I3ouverie and Mr. George E. Anson. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Madame Van de Weyer, Viscountess Palmerston, and Sir Robert and Laly Gardiner, have arrived at the Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken an airing to-day in the Slopes and Little Park. The Hon. Harriet Pitt, and the Hon. Sarah Mary Caven di,h, have succeeded the lion. Miss Paget and the Bon. Miss Anson as the Maids of Honour in Waiting on her Majesty. Their Royal :Highnesses the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Cambridge left town yesterday morning for Kew. Their Royal Highnesses returned to town at half-past five o'clock. • The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princesses Augusta and Mary of Cambridge, and attended by Lady Augusta Somerset, went to Kew yesterday. Her Royal Highness and the Princess returned to Cambridge House last evening. Madame Van de Weyer, the Lady of the Belgian Minister, left town yesterday on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Viscountess Palmerston left town for Windsor Castle yesterday on a visit to her Majesty. The Earl and Countess of Lindsey, and the Rev. P. W. Pegus, left Farranee's Hotel, Belgrave-street yesterday, for their seat, Uffington House, Lincolnshire. UN IVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. Her Majesty the Queen having been graciously pleased to present to the University, in order to be deposited in the Bod. leian Library and the Ashmolean Museum, a selection from the Anglo-Saxon coins recently found in Lancashire, it will be proposed in a Convocation, to be hoiden on Thursday next, to affix the University seal to a humble and dutiful loim of ac knowledgment for the favour thus graciously bestowed by her Majesty upon the University. At a meeting of the H :ads of Houses and Proctors, holden yesterday, it was resolved to recommend the Rev. Waiter Pesthumus Powel!, Doctor of Civil Law, of Worcester College, and Head Master of Clitheroe Grammar School, for the ap pointment to a Chaplainship on the Madras station, placed by the Directors of the East India Company at the disposal of his Grace the Duke cf Wellington, and given by his Grace to some member of this University, to be selected by the Hebdo madal Board. The proverbially venal and corrupt borough of Harwich is among the places which, having chosen Tory can didates, are appealed to with an air of triumph by the Tory Journals, as exhibiting unequivocal proofs of the mea sures of Government. We have the satisfaction of know ing that the means by which the Tories succeeded in obtaining a majority at the late election for Harwich, after Mr. Herries retired in despair, are not only notorious, but are happily capable of proof beyond the slightest possibility of refutation. The Members returned will hold their seats only until the necessary foam can be gone through for bringing the merits of the election before a Committee of the House of Commons on petition. As a proof of the high esti mate in which the exertions of the active Tories of Harwich were held by the worthy official of Sir Robert Peel's short ad ministration of ItS35, whom they delighted to honour by elect ing him as their representative, no less than 17 places of profit were distributed among them during the four months of Tory rule. A L A CARLTON CLUB CANTICLE. In the days when we were Placemen all, A long time ago, We ne'er looked forward to a fall, Or dreamed of coming woe ; We saw the ball was at our feet, That the game was all our own, So fleec'd the People, as was meet, And bullied e'en the Throne ; 'Twas joy in Tory bower and hall, 'Twas joy 'mong high and low, In the days when we were Placemen all, A long time ago ! Then we'd lawyers of our own who strove To show our black was white, With parsons, by the score, to prove Whate'er we did was right ; And if John Bull—rebellious clown ! E'er ventured to look blue, We bade our soldiers cut him down At glorious Peterloo ; But if he dared presume to brawl, We hanged him for a show, In the days when we were Placemen all, A long time ago ! Oh sunny days, how changed your hue ! Too brilliant far to stay, The Tory cat has had her mew, It's dog has had his day ; We're helpless now—we're poor, and lean, For, like old Mother Church, That swindling March of Mind, I ween, Has left us in the lurch ; In gloom we sit—in gloom recal (Small comfort this, you know,) The days when we were Placemen A long time ago ! But should those days come back once more, And soon, I feel they will, "We'll bully as we did before, And rob and plunder still ; Dear Mother Church shall find again Her dear exchequer full, For we'll squeeze the blood from every vein Of victimized John Bull ; Oh, we're the boys, both great and small, To restore in all their glow, The days when we were Placemen all, A long time ago ! MONEY and COMMERCIAL N EWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. With but a limited amount of business doing, the funds to• day have supported their value. The payment of the dividends has not yet had time to act upon them. Consols for immediate transfer, and without the dividend, were quoted the same as in the course of the morning.

London and Birmingham 70, the Thirds 22, the York and North Midland 22 to '25, and the New 10 premium. Brighten shares have been at 6i to 6, Northern and Eastern at 9/, the North Midland New at 7%, the South Eastern and Dover at 18, and the Birmingham and Derby at 40 discount. In Joint Stock Banking Shares there has been no business for some days past. The I'ea market was animated in the quotations, Compa ny's Congou having advanced from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 34d. per lb. cash. The sugar sales went off steadily. (from The Snit of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY 7.—The demand for Cotton to-day has been to a moderate extent.

The Government troops are stated to have been within two days' march of Carthagena, and one of the rebel chiefs has laid down his arms and joined the Government standard. _ _ _ Accounts received at Barbadoes by the French barque Perle, from Port-au-Piince (Hayti), state that island to be in a very unsettled , state in regard to political affairs. Boyer appears to bo tyrannising over the people at his own pleasure, but he has a strong army, and immense wealth, he fears nothing, and the country must submit to his will as long as he lives. From the Barbadian.—The monopoly hitherto enjoyed by America at St. Thomas, will soon cease; Venezuela and New Granada having resolved to carry on their commercial intercourse direct with Europe, Porto Rico and Havannah, however, still wishing to continue the trade with St. Thomas, in order, we suppose, to prevent the direct entrance of foreign vessels from England, with abolition principles, British Guiana and Trinidad are daily in creasing in prosperity on the ruin of other British West India islands. Grenada which contained a population of 46,000 in habitants has been robbed of upwards t f 8,000 of its laboueers within the last two years, who have all gone to Trinidad and Demerara. Should this evil continue Granada must be depo pulated. The 13atavier, Dutch steamer, has arrived, by which we have received Papers to the 7th inst., bringing the Dutch prices of the sth inst.

EFFECT OF RAILWAYS ON STAGEtbs All h POST-COACHES.—Railways ruin postmasters, sti, world. Somerset house tells a different story. . u t , e ; e b rities there have made a return to Parliament, from s'''',lsot r e gth the ary, that the post-horse duty for the year ending ou ary, 1839, was 237,452/., while that for the year ending A ssils' same day in 1841, was 212,6351 or but 25,000/• less. hi t for the stage-carriage duty for 1838 was 462,000/., wh,i le 1840, under a reduced duty, amounted to 407,0 40 i'..„+.04" not the first instance by many in which the popular PYil e t a estimate of the effect of improvement has been prove" o loo l t perienee and figures to be unfounded.

Baiit e i q G hia' BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—A party of ttie; 00 10! holders in this undertaking went down the line on ; 0 0 ) morning as far as Hayward's-heath, near CuckfichL, 3,,e; miles distant from Brighton. The journey down tottl„ o pagd heath was performed in about two hours, including !,';'ese.A by the way. The cuttings are very numerous, and -00 V, theca exceedingly deep, the line being in one pito a 00, on each side by a perpendicular wall of chalk and to 90 or 100 feet in height, and the embankments ateoo(,., places very lofty. There are two tunnels, each of ic"l3l passed through by the train in about three minutes;argeris' the most interesting feature on this railway is the 'le duet over the valley of the Adur, about five or t old Cuckfield, the height of which is 150 feet. As a ''';,,,,ue`" it is magnificent, and its solidity is quite equal to itS bi e stig; of appearance. 'I he stations on the line are, general l _i_l s for Ups large and commodious, and the country traversor, t he ~" most part, beautiful and romantic. Some pro rt brr i ; are still in a very unfinished state, but we are, nef e ., tso ce yl informed that it will be opened the whole alsibe_,lt Brighton in the month of September.
