LONDON SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1841. The Morning Post, which is the accredited organ of Sir ROBERT PEEL OR the subject of the Speakership, and is chosen to con vey to the public as much as he pleases to make known of his secret and pro found meditations, was yesterday wrathful be yond measure against the advocates of the re peal of the Corn-laws. Its wrath will probably be increased to-day, after it has seen that its great coadjutor in Toryism, and its rival in Sir ROBERT'S good graces, the presumed organ of his commercial policy, gave yesterday the place of honour to a communication recommending, and emphatically enforcing its recommendation, that a speedy reform should be made in the Corn-laws. The Times, as we stated last Thurs day week, is a sort of free-thinker amongst the Tories, and we then quoted a passage in which it did homage to the principles of the Whig bud get. The letter which appeared in it yesterday, confirms the schism between the Tory journals, and demonstrates that this united and homoge nous party i 3 split into violent factions, wrath fully contending for the most opposite principles. The anger of the one Journal and the recom mendation of the other, are convincing proofs that the good cause of Corn-law repeal is making rapid progress. Nor are the arguments by which the bad cause is defended less an indication of the same fact. For example, the Standard last n ight made it out that rent forms part of the cost of producing corn. In Great Britain rent is increased by the Corn-laws ; and the Corn-laws are kept up because it costs more t o grow corn in England than in other countries, or because ren t is high. Thus, according to Pro-Corn-law logic, the Corn-laws are the parents of th e fact which Corn-law advocates say makes Corn-l aws c onclusion to which all Anti-Corn lawneessary, a c men assent. They assert that Were there no Corn-laws rent would not be so high, the cost of obtaining corn would be less to the consum er , and there would be no presumed necessity for the Corn-laws. Our enemies arc evidently fall ing into confusion preparatory to a rout, while they are boasting of a victory. The acquiescence, however, of the Times in the necessity for a speedy alteration of the Corn-laws, substituting a moderate fixed duty for the sliding scale, awakens other reflections. It is so opposite to the declarations and views of its party, that it must be dictated by an over whelming, cenviction. All the accounts received from the manufacturing districts are most - gloomy, and they all concur in this, that what has yet happened is nothing compared to what is about to come. In the ma jority of cases paper currency represents hopes rather than realities. It is to be liquidated by future production. As hope fails, and future production is checked, the means of liquidating much of the paper afloat disappear. Hence people say, and we are afraid on good grounds-- for the majority of the elec tors having decided in favour of injustice, hope has in many eases co me to an end—that there are large mass e s of paper afloat which will never be raleemed. A partial cessation of work in the manufacturing districts is looked on as the be ginning of extensive and numerous bankruptcies. Hence, gloomy as are the actual accounts from the manufacturing districts, the anticipations are still more gloomy, and in many cases border on despair. This state of things is forcing the Tories, even before they are in office, to repudiate the principles on which they have broken up the Government. Such a circumstance must generate great mis trust of the Tories, whether their conduct be the result of ignorance or mere factious ambition. "Wa charge them with the latter. That great dlsires4 existedin the manutacturingdistricts, and had existtal for some time, was know long be fore tisobadgut was brought forward. NtJUIP. rous and striking instances, both of distress and discontent, such as the condition of the hand loom weavers and the prevalence of Chartism, were known to the whole community. To them was added the deficiency of the revenue, which was of itself enough to ensure from any reason able opposition, a calm and proper consideration of any plan suggested by the Ministers as likely to lessen the distress of the people, and contri bute to fill the public exchequer. Such a plan would have been deserving attention at any time, but it particularly claimed that from the House of Commons, under the present painful circum stances of the country. The Tories, however, far from giving the Mi nisterial plan calm and due consideration, rallied all the monopolists to one cry of alarm ; and, without taking its bearings into consideration, without even allowing all the propositions to be ' brought forward, they crushed the scheme that was to relieve the public distress and add to the public revenue, on the miserable and factious pretext that it might interfere with negro eman cipation. We never defended the details of the budget ; we have throughout said that the duties both on colonial and foreign sugar should be much more reduced; that insfead of the duties being raised on Canada timber, they should be lowered on Baltic timber, and that the tax on corn should be totally abolished. We are not at present disposed to defend the details of the budget more than when it was brought forward ; but we unhesitatingly affirm that it was the duty of the Opposition, under the circumstances of the country, to have taken all those details into its consideration, and to have shown that the Ministerial calculations were erroneous, and the Ministerial expectations unfounded. The Oppo sition, however, factiously rejected it in toto, for reasons wholly foreign to its merits in relation to the present condition of this empire. And what now do we see ? The journal which led the Opposition—the journal which speaks the sentiments of The larger number of the Tories= the journal, wanting whose aid they would not have succeeded, and will not now be able to carry on the Government—that journal tells us that the most obnoxious part of the Ministerial budget must be speedily passed in order to save the country from a bloody convulsion. Three months have not elapsed since the Tories would not allow the question to be discussed in Parlia ment, and by not allowing it to be discussedthey defeated the Ministers. In the meantime they have obtained a majority in Parliament; they are secure, they think, of being in office; and now they most impudently tell us that there is no hope of the Conservatives being able to govern the country unless they adopt, and speedily adopt, the Ministers' plan for placing a fixed duty on corn. Such extraordinary proceedings seem to us equally alarming for the morality of public men and for the future welfare of the country. Events press on us, and the public welfare is Immediately at stake. To preserve the Govern ment and the Constitution—no longer resting on unshaken prescription, and having no basis in reason—it is indispensable that public men merit and obtain public confidence. Here, however, we have the Tories arresting all public business, re fusing all relief to the people, and breaking up the Ministry, because they would not alter the Corn-laws, and in less than two months de manding that alteration as essential to the safety of the State. We care not how high the rank, how great the distinction or the talents of those who pursue such a course of conduct, we say that it is scoundrel policy, and the men who practise it are scoundrel politicians. We care not either how numerous be those who approve of such conduct. If the great majority—if the bulk even of the nation shall give its sanction, which we do no believe it will, and the conduct we have stigmatized is only that of a few leaders, who have made the many their dupes,—but if the bulk of the nation should sanction such a course of conduct, it could not make it other 3 svia like all scoundrel conduct, it must be fol lowed by great evil. To disorganize the whole Legislature in the mouth of June, because the Corn-laws must not be al tered, and in the month of August to declare hat only the alteration of those laws can save the country from convulsions, is such untrue, in sincere, and unfaithful, or such fatuous conduct, that the approval of the bulk of the community would be a certain indication that dishonesty had completely mastered the public mind, and that the dissolution of society was at hand. The Tory Journals assail the Manchester Con ference of Ministers with great vehemence, thereby testifying to its utility. We feel assured that the observations of our Contemporaries will only make the ministers of all denominations more zealous to fulfil the solemn task they have undertaken. To rebuke men in high places is the duty of ministers of religion, which they must now perform with reference to the Legislature, or the nation will perish in the midst of bloody con vulsions. It is supposed by our law-makers that there is no other law than their will. The moral law written in man's heart, the law that is older than the ages of nations, the law which the Legis lature is constituted to support, the law of pro perty—for property existed before Legisla tion, and the circumstances which gave birth to it exist and modify property at this moment as they at first created it—all these are overlooked by the Legislature, and it continually. violates the law and right of property, which it is constituted to protect. To recal the Legisla ture to a sense of its duty is the business of the ministers of religion, and to execute this business with effect the Conference of Ministers at Man chester seems likely to be efficacious. They are beginning wisely by collecting numerous proofs of the turpitude they propose to brand; and we have not the smallest doubt that they will end successfully. We have seen a list of two hundred and fifty gentlemen who have already announced their intention of attending the Cen . ference, and it con tains the names of s o me of the brightest orna ments of the ministry. It is expected that five hundred or more will assemble, and the inha bitants of Manchester are prepared to give them. all an hospitable reception. The ministers of every denomination and from every quarter are inveinteuds,eadndto all feasible and proper means have o e uld country, a ai s the invitation to every part b of e s t i l: hol/4e',erthtleiecirendfeelii.ebcnercereaett wiofi a nl n is d orderly spirit preside numerous as they will ' become more renowned in history than. any write that not lightl o to prove that the religion, grievously are the only safe basis for legislation.bY therefore, if it do anytliin rely on their fancies and eon' theT General Councils.

No doubt it is as striking an example as is generally met with of the piety of the Church, which mainly consists , in the congregations paying enormously, and in the parsons, who dispose of the wealth, liv ing splendidly. In this instance the true spirit of the clergy is abundantly manifested, for they are to have all the incomes and all the appoint ments. In the Church of England the ap pointment of the 13shops is in the hands of the Crown ?. as safeguard against the ascendancy .of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1841. the priesthood in the new scheme of Colonial Bishops to be appointed by the Bishops, though endowed by voluntary subscription, the com plete ascendancy of the priesthood is secured. We recollect that a project of this kind was mooted four or five . years ago by Mr. Preben dary TOWNSIIEND, of Durham, who argued stiffly for the Deans and Chapters taking the election of Bishops into their own hands. We are inclined to think that the Reverend Gentle man went so far as to urge his Ileverend brethren not to mind the Royal authority, but to elect their own Bishops in spite of a Ministry whom it was the fashion, amongst the clergy, to stigma tise as the enemies of the Church of England. But whether he went quite so far as this or not, his admonitions. and the present conduct of the clergy in constituting Bishoprics independently of the Crown, are strong indications of the de termination of the priesthood to resume, if pos sible, their ancient ascendancy. The Puseyite heresy has found much favour with the priesthood, because it includes similar principles of Church 'exaltation. With that its professors make a display of sincerity and fer vour, and possess some learning-. That such a poor and cunning mixture of worldly wisdom and cloister enthusiasm should have been palmed off on the people as religion by a large number of the ministers of the Anglican Church, is a forcible illustration of the complete degra dation of the Church, and of its ambitious pro jects. It will take up anything which promises to secure its domination, and hence the success of Puseyism, and the zeal with which the Bi 'shops and their satellites promote the subscrip tion for establishing more Ilishopries in the Colonies.. The whole of the French journals of Thursday have reached us. They are still s occupied with the affair of Toul ouse , u p on w hi c h, however, thdy throw no new light. The following letter from our Paris correspondent, and the extracts which accompany it, include whatever is of the least in terest in these papers : (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, AUGUST s.—The rumoured negotiations for a Customs' Union between France and Belgium occupy the public mind, and seem 'to be not altogether unfounded. That overtures have been made long ago is certain, but what progress has been effected in the conducting of them is not so clear. The design of France is avowed, and can deceive no one. It is that of indirectly extending her frontier to the limits of demarcation between Hol land and Belgium, with the facility of seizing on the whole territories of King Leopold the moment an Euro pean war should present a favourable opportunity. It is possible, too, that this design may be considered as an indirect method of regaining some of the influence lost in Europe by France, from her conduct on the Eastern Question. The opportunity for pushing on such a negotiation is considered by the French Ministry as not a bad one, when England, the most jealous of the' neighbours of France, is likely to be distracted by a change of Ministry ; and when Holland, amused with the projected marriage of the Prince de Joinville to the Princess Sophia of Orange, will not take alarm at seeing the French Custom-house officers replace those of Belgium under her very nose. It is possible, too, that France may have received some inadvertent marks of amity from Prussia and Austria which may have en couraged her to try the effect of a coup de diplomatique ; and that on the whole she may expect to succeed in wheedling the Belgians into this pretended alliance. On the other hand, the interested opposition of certain classes' of French manufacturers, coal owners, iron masters, &c., is thwarting the proposed scheme ; and it is not unlikely may adjourn any further steps in it until the next Session of the Chambers. The German States are doing all in their power to prevent any union of the kind from taking place ; and strong representa tions, as we have every reason to believe, have already been made to the French Cabinet on the subject. The strenuous opposition of England, Russia, and perhaps Austria, will, it is to be hoped, nip this scheme in the bud, or else France will, with a single stroke of the pen, gain practical possession of the whole ofßelgium. How the Bel gians can deliberately, and with their eyes open, wish for any closer union with a; despotic Government like that of Louis Philippe, or with a generation of notoriously cor rupt statesmen, such as now alone compose the Cabinet of the Tuileries, is inconceivable ; for the very first effects of the Customs' Union would be the paralysing of their own manufacturing industry and the annihila tion of that good will in Eastern and Central Europe upon which the prosperity of Belgium so much depends. On all these accounts the arrival of King Leopold at Pe ri., is . luolL ed for ward tcs with anxiety. It is commonly believed that the Government has not ordered the arrest of the late Mayor of Toulouse and his deputies, as has been rumoured by the journals, though it would no doubt do so, if it dared, and a great deal more. The Messager, which is the Ministerial evening paper, and the Moniteur, continue to publish daily tele graphic despatches from Toulouse, as if it was a place of the utmost importance, and they thus show the alarm felt. by the Government at the late disturbances. The last accounts from Algiers show that General La moric:e:e's column was rather roughly handled on its return to Oran from Mascara, the Arab enemy closing with the men in good style, and when not attacking them in due form, harassing them excessively from the rear. The proportion of 800 sick out of about 4,000 men (the total force) is enormously large, and shows the ravaging effects of the climate on European consti tutions. The Governor-General, in addressing the 17th light infantry just before it embarked the other day for France, observed that in Africa the corps had been " a column of glory"—it was now going to be " a column of order." A nice warning to the Parisians, that in case of an emeute this regiment, which is to be quartered at Courbevoie, near Neuilly, will be•rcady to show what a razia is, in the true African fashion. The reign of for tifications, Bastillcs, and bayonets, is beginning here with a vengeance ! The number of the families now at the waters of Wiesbaden, is said by the Frankfort Journal to be 2,150 ; of whom 1,652 are Germans, and 498 foreigners. The latter comprise 244 English, and 77 French families. A shock of earthquake was felt at Holbeck, in Den mark, on the 15th ult., accompanied by a loud noise in the air, similar to the discharge of artillery. The formation of a new series of galleries at Ver sailles is talked of. They are to occupy the attic abov e the Queen's apartments, facing the orangery, and,will be a continuaton of rooms lately opened above the, Qa lerie des Batailles. A woman named Marie Gervais died, a few days ago, in the hospital at Montpellier, at the age , of 110. She was admitted there as a sempstress, in 1762, being then 32 years old, and remained an inmate from that time till her death. During the last.month the number of passengers on the Paris and Corbeil Railroad amounted to 86,285, car riages 62, horses 74, and the receipts 116,365 fr. On the 15th inst., the 71st anniversary of the birth of Napoleon, the dome of the Invalides is to be com pletely illuminated. The Agrarn Gazette gives us the following some what astonishing story A short time since a. Turk, who was known to have, gone to bathe in the Danube, near Belgrade, did not return, and was missing for three days. At the end of this time his body was discovered among the rushes on the bank, and clinging by the arms to the trunk of a tree, while his.lower limbs were fast in the throat of an enormous fish, the silurus glanis, weigh ing three quintals (rather more than 500 weight) !" The Company of the Messageries Royales has just been' condemned by the tribunal of Pontoise to pay 25,000 fr. damages to a traveller, who was obliged to have his right arm amputated last May, in consequence .. of injuries from the overturning of one of its diligences in that town. The accident was proved to have be en owing to the imprudence of the postilion and conductor. The Havre , Journal publishes the reports deli vered to the legal authorities of Leghorn and Naples, by the captains of the Pollux and Montegibello re spectively, concerning the unfortunate shuck, which ended in the sinking of the former vessel. The re ports state positively that each captain saw the light of the other. long before, and that they were, with a proper number of their crew, on the decks, endeavouring to steer, clear of each other. The captain of the Pollux, however, states that when, after the shock, he leaped on board the Montegibello, he found no one on deck except the steersman, and he was obliged to get the passengers. from one ship to the other by means of his own crew, there being none of the Montegibello's men to aid him. He attributes all the fault to the Captain of that vessel. This Journal states that the plan for raising the Pollux has been suggested by a sailor, who has contracted to carry it into execution, and consists in letting down chain-cables, forming an oblong round the hull of the vessel, and then warping them tight, by means of run ning-knots and capstans, worked on board a sufficient number of lighters.. It is expected that, by this method, the ship will be readily got up. We learn from the Journal de la Meurthe, that on Saturday last the dePot of powder at Liverdun, kept there for blasting works in forming a canal, blew up, killed five men, wounded many more, and did consider able damage. The cause of the accident is not stated. A peasant of Romeyer, in the Drome, being ena moured of a young girl of the village, and driven to des peration by her refusal of him, and engaging herself to be married to another, followed her into the fields a few day s ago, and there murdered her with his gun. Her body was found nearly half consumed, the gun having been di sc h arge d so close that the tire of the wadding had caught her clothes. The man himself was found soon after, a lifeless corpse, in a wood, half a league off, where he had committed suicide with the same instrument. _ A case w hi c h hi s b een for some t i me b e f ore t h e Paris Tribunal of Correctional Police, in which Messrs. Monnier, Latte, and Bapti s t e , were prosecu t e d by M. tal a t a Victor Hugo --M. Monnier for writing M. Latte for publishi ng , an d M.

Baptiste, was allowed ; but judgment was given as follows against the other two defendants, viz., each to pay a fine of 100 fr., their work ! , 0 be maimed, and NU fut ure sAle pr obi- bited. In the course of the trial M. Victor Hugo stated that he laid no claim for damages. After the trial of the France for the publication of the letters ascribed by it to the King, M. Johannet, one of the editors, republished from that journal the report of the trial, in the form of a pamphlet unstamped. This was regarded by the Stamp-office authorities as a viola tion of the law, the republication being, in their opinion, identified with the journal, and the whole of the edition was immediately seized. An action was brought by M. Johannet against the Stamp-office department for this seizure, and was decided yesterday by the Tribunal Civil of Paris, which declared that the pamphlet was a separate work from the journal, and not liable to stamp-duty ; and it therefore ordered the restitution of the copies seized, and the removal of all the restrictions upon the sale of the work. The costs were thrown on the Stamp-office. A report has been circulated 'on Change to-day (says Le Commerce) that the city of Toulouse had been declared in a state of siege. We think that the Ministry will contradict this improbable piece of news. The camp at Compeigne is to be put off for ten days. The troops are to be assembled there on the Ist of September, instead of the 20th of August. The la bour3 of the harvest will by that time be completely ended.—Le Constitutionnel. The Moniteur says :—" On account of the state of the atmosphere no news could be received by the tele graph during the day, but a despatch received this morn ing announces that tranquillity continued to prevail." •-- The Emancipator,pf Toulouse, of the 2d, makes no mention of troubles, which it was feared might take place on Sunday or Monday. The authorities, how.ever, continued to take measures of precaution. The Journal de Cherbourg says, " It seems certain that orders have bcen received at Cherbourg to forward with the greatest diligence the completion of all the ships of war building in the dockyards." The German Journals endeavour to conceal as much as possible -the critical state of the Austrian finances, but we learn from good authority that commerce is completely at a stand in the manufacturing provinces of Austria, in consequence of the numerous bankruptcies which have taken place at Vienna, Trieste,Pesth,Venice, and Prague. Thousands of workmen are without work, because the chiefs of the establishments which employed them find it impossible 61 Pay them, in consequence of the financial crisis of which Vienna is the centre.—Le Co►n merce. • BOURSE—Penis, THURSDAY, AUGUST 5. tint Highest Lowest • -- • • Price Price.

The Monitcur of Friday (yesterday) announces that Toulouse continued to be perfectly tranquil. Warrants were issued by the Attorney-General against the Editors of the Journals Aspic, Utilitairc, and Eman cipation. Several arrests were made in the course of that day, and the judiciary proceedings against the authors of the last disturbances were being prosecuted with activity. The Emancipation of the 3d inst. contains the following decree, issued by M. Maurice Duval, the Extraordinary Commissioner, on the 2d : " Article 1. Every citizen forming part of the Na tional Guard of Toulouse, to whom arms have been in trusted for the service of the National Guard, is enjoined to deliver them up to the Municipal Authorities within six days from the date of the present decree: " Article 2. The National Guards who should refuse to obey this injunction shall be prosecuted according to the laws." The same journal states that the new Mayor of Tou louse, General Lejeune, had threatened to resign that post should the census be resumed. It was believed that after the disarmament of the National Guard it would be attempted by force. The Municipal Council of Moissu, in the department of Tarn and Garonne, protested on the Ist against the fiscal pretensions of M. Humann. At Libourne the Mayor, having refused to co-operate with the revenue officers, the inhabitants would not ad mit the latter into their houses, and the census was ac cordingly suspended. Th e Prefect and Attorney-Gene ral left Bordeaux for Libourne on the 3d. Our accounts from Madeira are dated 31st ult. The publication in the papers of the 30th of the protest of the ex-Regent against the decree of the Cortes, which deprived her of the guardianship, created in Madrid a considerable sensation - .and on the motion of M.

IN PARLIAMENT.—In comparing the present with the last Parliament, it will be found that the Bank of England has lost one member—Mr. Patison. The London bankers have lost two members —Mr. Grote and Mr. W. Attwood. The country bankers have lost two members—Mr. Hector and Mr. Bickford. The National Provincial Bank has lost two members—Mr. Courtenay and LA rd Hallyburton. The LondoA Joint Stock Banks have lost three members— Mr. Muskett, Mr. Wyse, and Mr. Jervis. On the other hand the London Bankers have gained one—Mr. Mas terman ; and the London Joint Stock Banks have gained two—Mr. P. M. Stewart and Mr. Rennie. The Irish and Colonial Joint Stock Banks remain the same. Thus it will appear that the Bank of England and the private bankers have, upon the balance, lost four members, while the Joint-Stock Banks have, upon the balance, also lost four.

" TVho runs may read." rOREIGN. The Levant, Mail brings the important intelligence that the insurrection in Candia is nearly at an end. What no force at the disposal of the Porte could accom plish,has been effected by conciliation. The Divan lis tened to the advice of the Great Powers, and by pro mising the immediate redress of the evils complained of by the Cretan Christians brought them to lay down their arms. We trust that England and France will take care to see the pledges made by the Porte fully redeemed. Three rather important rumours were circulated at Constantinople—first, that the old Emir Beschir was about to be re-instated in command of the Mountains in Syria ; second, that Ahmed Fethi Pacha, brother-in-law of the Sultan, was about to be appointed Ambassador at the Court of London ; and, third, that .Hr. Ongley, British Consul at Candia, had been ordered by Lord Ponsonby to proceed to Constantinople, to account for his conduct relative to the insurrection in that island. What truth there may be in these rumours we know not. The Shah of Persia is playing the despot to admi ration. According to a military correspondent of the Constitutionnel, he amuses himself by cutting off from thirty to forty heads daily. This is a luxury in which only Oriental despots can indulge. By the theory of the Ottoman Constitution, as inter preted by the Sheik -ul-Islam, the Sultan may with his own hand cut off the heads of fifteen of the Faithful daily without assigning any cause for such an extraordinary mark of Imperial condescension ; but as Abd-ul-Mejid's tastes, and the progress of European ideas, are opposed to such Royal pastimes, this branch of the prerogative of the Khalifat is likely to fall into desuetude. What bitter satires upon Monarchical Governments are many of the prerogatives of Kings. The latest accounts from French Africa represent the progress of disease among the troops as really alarming. In a column of 4,000 strong, 800 are reported sick. The Arabs have fought well of late. The French, in fact, are teaching them to become their masters in the art of war. The French Minister of Commerce, AI. Gridaine, and the ex-Empress of Morocco, have been interchang ing civilities and presents at Marseilles, where her Ma jesty is performing quarantine. M. Gridaine presented himself before the Lady as Vizier of the Sultan of the French, upon which she presented him with a cake and two boxes of pastiles. Not to be out done in acts of munificence, the French Minister made her Majesty an offering of pastry which she accepted, and relished amazingly. Her Majesty is quite an Afri can beauty,. weighing a couple of tons and upwards. She is very anxious to visit the harem of the Sultan of the French. PITIII.IC OPINION. The Morning Herald remark s,iian7article suggested by Dr. M'Hale's recent denunciation of the Irish teetotal lers—" Disgusting and degrading as intoxication is in all men of all ranks and all nations, it is in none so maddening, so reckless, so desperate as in that section of the Irish people among whom the mission of Father Mathew has been carried. On this account we have never demurred to the praise which has been heaped upon him for his perseverance and his success. If that Success have been but one-half as signal as we are as sured by the Irish papers that it has been, no eulogy of ours, no tribute from his own countrymen, can approach his deserts." The Chronicle says, in referring to a remark on Sir Robert Peel's presumed policy, that appeared in the Times of yesterday :—" We are gravely told by the Times that the question of finance is nearly, if not absolutely, the sole great question of Government on which Sir Robert Peel has not already, on more than one occasion, ex plained his views.' That is to say, the State Doctor has given his opinions on all subjects, except the disease of his patient and its cure. That is the only point on which he has said nothing ; and is prepared to say nothing. It is also the very point on which his imputations and contrivances have occasioned the removal of his predecessor. And further, it is the point on which his manoeuvres have been tried to the ut most, not without some success, for preventing' the full ex position to the public of the views which that prede cessor entertained, and was ready to act upcm Physician 'of Tamworth, is this professional ?" * The tactics of the thorough-br e d Q uac k Doc are fully manifested in this conduct of Sir R. Peel. fle has got a remedy for all the ailments of his . patient ; but for the one-dangerous disease that untie.-- mininghis health, he has ndne . at all. In dismissing Doctor Whig, and sendipg for Doctor Tory to prescribe for him, the valetudhiarian John Bull will find that he has retarded his cure for, many a long year. Lucky if he do not expire under the copious system of bleeding that will no-doubt be practised on him by his new physician ! - 7 4 The Post again warns its readers of " the political danger and the practical hopelessness of depending upon l ii . great extension of the manufacturing and commercial system in this country." This is a hint in seasox and should not be lost' sight of. We grant that it is perfectly hopeless to expect an extension of trade . mid 'commerce under existing circumstances—that is , to 'Say, with a T ory Monopoly Governm en t hanging : over our heads. Our Contemporary, with great tact, is gradually preparing the mind of the country for this disheartening conviction. " Each 'day furnishes new proof," says the Adver tiser, " of -the little estimation in which Sir Robert Peel is held by the party who find it convenient to follow him, but.who evidently yield themselves with reluctance to his command. Recollect, Sir,' says one of these gentlemen who addresses him by the name of Pit tacus, what Pitt would have done in your place, and blush if you have a feeling of fear or a tendency to compromise.' The star of the proximate and plebeian Premier is apparently already on the wane. The aris tocratic driver of the Derby Dilly is evidently the favour ite, and political jockeys, who a few days ago backed Peel at long odds, are now ready to lay the evens on Stanley or Aberdeen." If Sir R. reel-be out of favout with his party, as the Advertiser insinuates, it is be. cause they suspect him of undue liberality, which is the best thing we have yet heard of him. As for a Stanley or Aberdeen Administration, the thing is impossible. Such a Government could not hold together for a week. —The Times reads a longlecture to Sir R. Peel on the sub- ject of the New Poor-law Bill, observing—" The admi nistration of the Poor-laws throughout England must no longer be committed to the discretion of three individuals residing in London, and holding office during the plea sure of the Crown. Difficult as it may be, a definite law, framed upon principles agreeable to our fun damental institutions in Church . and State, and em bodying in its provisions the experience as well of the last seven years as of the two preceding cen turies, must shortly supersede the present arbi trary experiment. The Poor-law Commission, if left to itself, would naturally expire before the end of the pre sent year ; and, though it is possible that reasons of convenience, and the necessity of proceeding with deli beration in the settlement of so important a question, may induce Sir Robert Peel to postpone the period of its dissolution" yet we trust that such a postponement, if determined upon, will be for the shortest practicable time, and accompanied by a distinct announcement of its merely provisional intention." It is easier for the . Times to give advice than for Sir Robert Peel to act upon it, for his hands are tied imp, as respects the New Poor-law Bill; and indeed on most great points of policy, he will have little power to act according to his own notions of what is just and necessary. With the High Church party tugging away at one of his coat skirts, and the crotchetty Stanleyites at the other, he will hardly be able to take one step forward, without taking two backward. The Leicestershire Mercury thus comments on the Tamworth remedial measures :—" Sir Robert will not prescribe for the patient till he is regularly called in.' Certainly not : such conduct would be reprehensible in an Union doctor—in a State physician and Premier expec tant, not to be tolerated. Like Dr. Eady, Dr. Solomon, and Dr. Morrison, he has his secret nostrum: but unlike these benefactors of mankind, he has no list of cures. We have not the slightest wish to know the. com position of his immortal Catholicon. State Quacksalvers have as much right to boast of secret remedies as any other empirics, but we love the patient ! She and her children are very dear to us ! some of them are at death's door ! and many are 'like the Manchester miners, who, having been eight days without food, died by being placed in a warm bed, and fed with chicken broth.' That the Tamworth Baronet can prescribe a remedy for the patient is barely possible—for which ability his whole former life furnishes no proof, his recent conduct no probability. Enough of such solemn trifling ! Things are indeed come to a crisis when, on the very eve of a conflict like the forth. coming, the leader of a great party. can indulge in feeble jokes, and pointless witticisms. The people are looking for bread !—this pseudo statesman talks of physic." The Durham Chronicle suggests that Sir Robert Peel, Kill make but a poor courtier :—" At any rate, her Majesty seems determined, if needs must be, to let out the Whigs gently, and to take in the Tories tiously. Sir Robert feels, that he his party—that he n P1 1 ; 1 * „.10P - P0 gvkt? o ; titt 11 ,;, pne trial POYoct them, that th 6 Qum will ~•• has alren,-1•• ~., - not be ministerially trifled with. Such a rebuff as Sir Robert met in 1839, will not be forgotten, on either side. fur years to come. The Duke of Wellington says, that Peel has no manners for Court. Manners he must find and wear, suited to the Queen's taste, before he can sit easily as her Minister." The Dublin Eneiling Post observes that " Sir RO bert Peel may talk moderation, and possibly may be dis posed to practice it, but as well might he essay the tam ing of a herd of tigers or hyenas as to attempt the im possible task of reducing the Ultras, who form the bone and sinew of the faction which he leads, into habits of quietness and forbearance. - No—that faction pant for the restoration of Toryism as much for the means of exer cising unbridled power, as for the pelf and patronage belonging to office." " The real qualities of the quack doctor," says the Coventry Herald, " are completely betrayed by his late words ; but the most engaging part of the whole is the mysterious silence of the man of specifics, about the medi cine and treatment suitable to the case ; while he never theless points to the box of physic which he has carried at his back 'ever since 1835, and hints that the cure and cordial are both surely there." AGRICULTURAL. Accounts from Ireland state, that at Newry the crop is abundant. The oat crops at Tipperary are in full produce. Though the rains have damaged the hay, yet barley and oats have thriven from it. A Correspondent from an extensive corn district in the north-west of England, states that the appearance of the wheat crop is very promising. LAW AND POLICE. A man at W ootton Bassett was lately taken into custody for threatening to beat a woman. Whether acting under Mpgistrate's advice or not is unknown, but he was unceremoniously put into the Blind-house, and from the Saturday to the ensuing Thursday confined there. After an undecisive examination, he was again thrust into this miserable hole—unallowed to breathe fresh air, or obey the calls of nature. He has since been dismissed. Surely investigation is required here. Dame Fanny Parker, commonly called Lady Hyde Parker, appeared yesterday before the Commissioners a t the Insolvent Debt ors ' C our t, to obtain release, she hay- - ing three detainers still lodged against her. Her bail, however, was found faulty:and refused, and her Ladyship was conducted back to prison. THEATRICAL. The Concerts d'Ete, at Drury-lane, were last night honoured by the presence of the Duke, Duchess, Princess Augusta, and Prince George of Cambridge. SPORT'ING. A sailing-match took place at Wroxham, the be ginning of this past week. The cup was well contested by Norwich cutters. The long anticipated match between the Windsor and Eton, and the Bramshill Cricket Clubs took place yesterday in the Brocas. At present the Windsor and Eton are 32 a-head of their opponents. The game is to be played out on some future day. COURT-PASHIONABLES. Her Majesty's accouchement is not expected to take place before quite the middle, or the end of October. -- It is expected that bis Royal Highness, the Here ditary Duke of Lucca will shoitly visit this country.

It is stated that a brother of il;: Dillon Browne, M.P. for Mayo, is appointed a Stipendiary Magistrate. The decision of Mr. Wood's will, of Gloucester, is expected to be made by the Judges of the Privy Council on the 16th instant. The national anthem of " God save the King" was first sung at an entertainment given by the Merchant Tailors' Company to James the First, in 1607. Preparations are going forward for the opening of the entire Green-park in the Regent's-park to the public. An elegant suspension chain bridge is being erected over the ornamental waters near Hanover-terrace. „ „ RUMOURS OF THE DAY. --- It is stated that a most influential Member of the House of Commons intends to move, as soon as possible, for a Select Committee to inquire into the state of Ire land, and to collect.. a mass of evidence relative to the outrages that 'were committed, in violation of law and the freedom of election, throughout Ireland, with a view to statutable enactment.

The transactions in the Produce Markets this week have not generally been favourable to the seller's, though an average business has been done. Sugar has fallen, which, indeed, it may well do if the poorer classes (we might almost include those of the middling sphere too) ere to have any of the comforts of life at all. The con sumption of the article has been decreasing this year, another proof of the loss entailed on the revenue by the high prices. Then, again, while the community at large are suffering, and will suffer still more yet, by the advance in corn, the national income does not benefit, as most of the foreign wheat will come in at a lower rate, no doibt, than that proposed by Ministers as a permanent duty, viz., Bs. per quarter. Tea has been steadier this week, and, for the sake of the consumers, we are glad to see that the advance has gone no further. Tal low, as the season advances, excites more.attention, and Cotton is falling, both here and at Liverpool, owing to the stagnation in our manufactures.
