A doubt, it appenrs, prevails in. some quarters whether the Government will pay the fraudulent Exchequer hills put into cirenlation, or whether the holders of those bills will have to bear the loss. In the case of.ROHERT ASLETT, the Judges held that " the Exchequer bills were valid, for they were Lisued tinder authority of Govern ment, and the holde r had a claim on the justice of the Government for payment." That was the opinion of the udges in answe r to a doubt raised, because those 'bills had been signed with the name of Lord CFRENVILLE, by a person not le gally authorised,:a nd so far, therefore, as the bills issued by . Mr. SMITH were illegally signed, that opinion would appear decisive of the ques tion that the Government should pay the bills. In Mr. ASLETT'S case, however, there was no question as to the bills having been issued by the authority of Government. They were so is sued, and it was because they were so issued that the Judges held them to be valid. The reverse is at. present the case. The bills issued by Mr. SMITH were issu editout, or in defiance of, th e authority of Govwerhnment ; and so far as the case of ASLETT is concerned, the opinion of the Judges would appear to warrant the Government in denying its responsibility. But some other and more important considera tions occur to us. Exchequer bills bear a re semblance to bank-notes, and the credit of the Government will be gone if it do not pay even the forgeries upon it. We apprehend the indict ment would run as in the case of a forgery of a bank-note, with intent to defraud the issuer of the bill or note, and, if so, we do not see how the individual or body authorising - such an in dictment, can in reason object to pay the forged document. It will be quite impossible, by any kind of contrivance, to prevent Exchequer bills from being forged ; and therefore it is indispen sible, in order to keep those documents in circu lation, that the Government should recognise the general principle of paying forged Exchequer bills put into circulation without its authority. - In the present case, there are some peculiari ties which must be attended to. Mr. SMITH is supposed to have had confederates, and it seems certain that parties have taken the false Ex chequer bills, in deposit, and for loans, under very suspicious circumstances. Of course it would be manifestly unjust that either class of these wrongdoers should be able to recover any losses they may have sustained of the Govern ment. But wherever parties have, in an honest straightforward manner, in the ordinary way of business, become the possessors of these fraudu lent Exchequer bills, they should be paid as if the bills were genuine. In this case, it appears to us, that, subservient to the general principle of the Government responsibility, the payment, or lion-payment, will mainly rest on the total ab sense, or not, of all suspicion as to the mode and manner of acquiring possession. When the officers of the Exchequer are in doubt as to their own signatures, when the fraudulent bills were printed on the Government paper with the Government types, and were such complete the-similes of the genuine bills that the only means of detecting the fraud was that two bills bore the same number, or by com paring the bills with the counterfoils in the Ex chequer from which they were cut, neither ofwhich tests could any individual apply, for it is stated that the forged bills always corresponded in number with bills which were known to be lodged in the vaults of the Bank and never came into circulation ; when these bills were issued by a servant of the Government, like the clerk of a banker paying notes he had forged of his employer's over that employer's counter, and that servant was the person who would vouch, if any question arose, as to their genuineness—when all these circumstances are taken into considera tion, it seems to us that any person receiving those fraudulent bills in the ordinary way of bu siness, cannot, in reason, be expected to incur a shilling loss by their being forgeries. , On the whole, we are of opinion that Government ought to acknowledge its responsibility, accompanying that with an avowed determination to sift to the utmost the means by which the parties possess ing the bills came into possession, and only dis puting the payment when those means are open to suspicion. We mu s t now make one remark on the . Bank of England. Much is said about the loose man ner in which the business of the Exchequer Bill office is conducted, which certainly is as bad as possible, and it has been suggested that this business should be transferred to the Bank. But is this corporation free from blame? It is said that 60,000/. of the fraudulent Exchequer bills have been received by the Bank in pay ment of the loan. It is also said that these fraudulent hills were doubles of bills in the possession of the Bank. Surely such a body should have, as in fact it has, a list of all the bills in its possession; and surely there can be no excuse, with such a list in its possession, for the carelessness of its officers in taking bills which a comparison of the numbers of their own bills must have shown were liable to suspicion. According to the statement no other bOdy or in dividual but the Bank had the means of as certaining the forgery, for the genuine doubles of the counterfeit bills were said to be in its possession. If it be true that it accepted 60,0001. worth of forged bills as a subscription to Mr. GOULBURN'S loan, the Bank of England, on the principle of not having used due diligence in the exercise of its business ought to suffer the loss. At any rate, we see iu that sufficient evidence of carelessness to make us decide that the Bank of England ought not to have the business of issu- ing Exchequer bills transferred to it. Report says that Mr. SMITH has carried on his fraudulent transactions for some years, and he must have had great confidence in the careless ness of the Bank, which, on coming into posses sion at any time of one of his bills could have de tected a fraud, to have kept so long at his work. If the practice have been continued for years, very strong evidence will be required to prove that the Bank has not been excessively careless in its mode of managing business. The discovery of Mr.SMITH'S fraud comes very ' opportunely, we think, in relation to a question which is now of great public interest. If we have a national bank, what can possibly screen us against forgery to as great, or a greater, ex tent than has been practised by Mr. SMITH? In genuity, sharpened by cupidity—by an inces sant desire—will always overmaster ingenuity only encouraged by the cold dictates of duty, with . a regularly paid salary. Forgery, there fore, would be practised, and might be prac• tised, as in the case of Mr. SMITH', on a most exorbitant scale. The consequences of such a forgery of national bank paper in general circu lation, may ba imagined by the vast confusion which the discovery of Mr. SMITH'S fraud has caused amongst all the holders of Exchequer bills, who, in fact, are all the banks and all the moneyed classes in the kingdom. A forgery of private bank paper could neither be so exten sive nor so easy as a forgery of national bank Paper, and certainly not so disastrous. The dis cow'ry of Mr. SMITH'S fraud, therefore, has conk opportunely to make the possibility of for g i ng most 1 national bank no t es to a great extent a important consideration in the proposed plan of ha v i ng prom, are put into circulation throughout the whole We see by an advertisement in anoth er pa r t o f The Sun that the fort T e o venth anniversary of a public dinner and THELwALL, inner on the sth the acquittal of HA RDY Y which i sho u ld b e will be celebrated by instant. That is an occasioet devotione liberty of the to the good I - all tot e t s h t o i is.; their who prize u s subject, eized cause, which was assailed in the person of those patriots. We live, we acknowledge with great pleasure, in happier times, and are no longer sub ject to those virulent prosecutions by which Toryism in its more truculent clays sought, and sought in vain, to subdue the spirit of liberty. Et is now far less fierce, and far more cunning. It seeks to attain the same object by bland devi ces. ft fetters our hands and our feet, and " flogs us in the belly," for our own benefit. As it cannot openly play the tyrant, it enacts the part of a parent, and curbs and chastises the infant people, or drills them into obedience, out of pure love and kindness. it is all calmness and "mature consideration." It rebukes our childish impa tience for more liberty and more food, and tells us with parental authority that we shall thrive all the better by-and-bye, for now being restrained and starved. It has no other object, it assures us in the sweetest tones, than to protect the na• tion. Though we are not much tempted by the guile of the serpent, it is more dangerous than the ferocity of the lion ; and quite as much calm energy is now required to overcome Toryism as when it roared much louder forty-seven years ago, and was more openly ravenous than at pre sent. We trust, therefore, that all those who yet prize civil liberty, and think it as much en dangered from the present combination of re creant Whigs and smirking Tories, as it was from a similar combination, when those patriots were exposed to persecution, will profit by the opportunity to testify their devotion to the good cause, and strengthen its adherents. No Chair man is announced, but we hope some person will be retained who will do honour to the occasion. because ESPARTERO sought to carry out the arti cles of the Treaty of Bergara, by appointing officers who held high ranks in the army of Don CARLOS, but who were parties to the Treaty, to places of public trust under the Constitutional Government. The appointments, however inju dicious, attested the good' faith of the Spanish Government. In the second place, the origin of a Govern ment cannot be vicious which is based upon the popular choice of a nation . in the free exercise of its libertiei. Spain fought for seven years for. ISABELLA and CARLOS. Not a shot was fired to arrest the downfal of CHRISTINA Musioz. There was not even a mountain robber in the 'Penin sula, who thought it worth his while to unfurl a rag at the end of a pole in her name, either as guardian of her children or as Regent of the kingdom. Even her well-beloved MuNoz fled without shouldering a musket in her defence, or once offering to resist the popularly-established Government of the Spanish FABIUS, ESPARTERO. As to the third alleged cause, the usurpation of the Royal authority, we may observe, that in a constitutional monarchy, where the represen tative principle is the basis of law and Govern ment, there can be no usurpation where the whole nation is a consenting party. Now all Spain promptly acquiesced in the sentence of the abandonment of the guardianship of her children and of the Regency, pronounced by the Cortes against CHRISTINA MUNOZ. Not a municipality raised its voice in defence of Madame Muisoz, who, by her connection with a menial, had vir tually resigned the guardianship of her children by FERDINAND. The fourth cause embraces two distinct charges. Of the observance of the Treaty of Bergara we have said enough above to disconcert the parti zans of Madame MUNOZ. As to the hypocritical babble about the Basque fueros, enough that it was by the Government of Madame MuNoz that they were declared to be for ever abolished. Her rebellious partizan, MONTES DE OcA, now a prisoner in Spain, and one of the confreres of the rebels 0 1 DoNNELL and LEON, countersigned as Minister of the Interior, the very decree by which CHRISTINA MuNoz, as Regent, abolished the Basque fueros. So much for CHRISTINA'S veracity. Respecting the fifth cause, we can only that if CHRISTINA MUNOZ regarded the secret joy with which all Spain beheld her removal from the guardianship of wards whom she plun dered, as neither more nor less than a "stupor of profound grief," she must regard objects through a very different medium from that of the rest of the world. The .self-love must be indeed miraculous which discovers in ill-con cealed joy and suppressed hatred and contempt a sorrow too deep for tears; and a commiserating indignation too intense for muscular action. But when in a whole year that sorrow finds neither a tongue nor a sword, it becomes almost amusing to hear it pleaded as the still existing cause of national lethargy. As religion and the POPE are thrown in by way of make-weights, it is hardly fair to make more than a passing allusion to them. Of the first, the Holy See will hardly accept CHRISTINA MU-NOZ as a spotless champion, unless, by way of making reparation for the past she assist in founding as many convents . and monasteries as, she enriched herself by supfiressing. And even were she to do this, we doubt whether she would be as acceptable at the Vatican as Don Can Los. CHRISTINA'S participation in the rebellion in Spain is now indirectly, but most conclusively, avowed by herself. She glories in the crimes that have been committed—exults in the blood that has been shed. Instead of appearing ap palled with horror at learning that murder has been committed under the roof which covered her children, she applauds the daring intrepidity of the murderers. Her rehearsal of the part of a distressed mother separated from her children is disgusting. Has she not two or three little M u NOZES to dandle, one of, whom engaged her ~,,L,tioon more whpn P, , ..-1-pN , r than both the Royal infants? At ten years old_ the education of the young QUEEN was so neglected by her mother that she could not read or write a word while the very money allowed to supply the wants of her wardrobe was unscrupulously added to her Royal mother's state perquisites. Yet this woman makes a parade of her sufferings and indignities as a Sovereign, and of her agonised feelings as a widow and a mother ! Not con tented with plundering Spain of her gold, and robbing her of her tranquillity, the ex-REGENT parades a demand upon her sympathy ! The Peninsular SEMIRAMIS is an adept in all the con trivances by which humility, credulity, vanity, and unsuspecting singleness of purpose are made the dupes of craft, avarice, and profligate ambition. In another part of The Swi will be found a letter from that untiring opponent of the sliding scale, Earl FITZWILLIAM, making it quite plain that the duty on foreign corn rises, and is high, not because corn is abundant, which is what the law-maker professes, but because it is bad. The more wheat there is sold, which is small in the grain, damp, and mouldy, fit only for hog's meat, the higher rises the duty, and the more strin gently is good foreign corn kept out of the coun try. They must be wise law-makers who enact that; and we thank Earl FITZWILLI Am very much for making their wisdom so apparent. " The Metropolitan Police, in addition to a variety of modes already in practice of annoying respectable publicans, as well as offending public feeling, have lately hit upon a new system, which, with the exception of one instance, occurring in the City, we are happy to say has been hitherto without effect. Not being allowed, when on duty, to entera public-house to take refreshment, they seem inclined to subject other persons to the same restrictions, and have lat terly been very active in laying informations against landlords for selling spirits and beer to persons whom they consider of doubtful charac ter. They have repeatedly arrested unfortunate girls in the street, who were giving no annoy ance to any human being. In almost every in stance within the last month, they have been reprimanded by the Magistrates for this officious and cruel interference. Some of them, convicted of swearing falsely against these poor creatures, have been reported to the Commis sioners without the result being known, and others, whose conduct was too gross to be over looked, have been suspended or allowed to make their escape. A. Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, hitherto favourable to the New Police regulations,__ makes the following com munication, in which we regret to say there is too much truth : I have heard, and I believe it to be true, that police men often extort money from women under the threat of taking them to the station-house.; and, if this is per mitted, I wish to know what woman is safe ? But I maintain that the liberty cfthe subject is grossly violated by any person being taken into custody who has not po sitively offended in a very decided way the public de corum which it is necessary to maintain-in our streets. It is surely approaching very near to inquisitorial powers when the subaltern officers of the law are permitted to inquire into the private characters of persons whom they may either see frequenting the streets or the taverns. If this system is permitted to exist, it will not stop here, and the police will be at last but a corps of spies, and the tools of an inquisitorial power, which may be carried to any extent. The Chief Clerk at the Mansion-house, who has so long filled the office with , credit to himself and great benefit to the City, and whose opinion, from long experience, is entitled to great weight, described them as tyrannical, the power entrusted to them, he said, was enormous, and enormously abused, and something must be done to prevent " respectable people from being completely over- ridden." The tyrannical conduct of these men, supposed to have been abetted by the Government, returned a Tory for Westmin ster; and, had another come forward, would have achieved what neither money nor influence ever before accomplished. Two of the Liberal City candidates, it is firmly believed, lost their 1 elections ror tire znutc ettoii. 33.. .I,s, dread of this new body was not con fined to London; it extended throughout the whole of England, particularly among a very influential body of electors, the publicans, and contributed more than any other cause (ex cept the Corn-law question), to turn the balance against the Government. Yet, notwithstanding all these proofs of hatred to this inquisitorial system, manifested by the spontaneous feelings of free-born Englishmen, an ex-Ministerial Evening Paper, in a heavy pharisaical article, more than a column in length, and written, it is said, by the Member for Lambeth, denounces those who will not crouch to tyranny, and lauds this obnoxious Act to the skies, It is iinmacu late. Daily miracles are performed by it. Father MATHEw is a mere drone in the great work of regenerating the lower classes, corn- The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all reached us.

"No restraint," says the Globe, "is imposed on any one, except those who require to be restrained,from doing themselves positive injury, and who are prone to insult and outrage public decorum ;" and thus exultingly concludes :—" The law improves, as we have seen, the habitt3 of the people, and conse quently tends to raise their character in the estimation of other nations." It melancholy to see a paper professing Liberal principles so mischievously influenced by party prejudices, and so utterly forgetful of a principle which the Whigs profess to prize above all others —the liberty of the subject. - The Veloce steamer left Toulon on the 20th for Constantinople, with the Baron DE BOUR QUENEY on board.

The Journal du Havre gives a report of the captain and crew of the brig Palmyra, of Lorient, which was run down at sea on the 14th inst., by the Jane Frances, Captain Crosby an English.vessel, bound from Sunder land to Marseilles. It appears that in the evening, when at about 12 miles to the E.N.E. of Whitby, running close to the wind, the. Palmyra saw the other ship com ing down upon her, and hailed her to keep clear, but she ran aboard of the French ship , with such velocity and force, that her crew had only time to jump on board the Jane Frances before their own vessel went down, carrying with her the cabin-boy, whom it was impossible to save. The report complains that the people of the Palmyra stood on the English ship's deck a quar ter of an hour before any one belonging to her spoke a word to them, a proof that all the Englishmen were asleep. It adds that the Jane Frances continued her eourse towards Marseilles, but in half an hour, finding that she had sprungher bowsprit, she tacked about and returned to Sunderland. The sister and brother-in-law of Barbes, who is con fined at Mont St. Michel, have addressed a memorial to the Procureur du Roi of Avranchcs, complaining of the undue severity to which Barbes is exposed in that pri son. They state in this document that Barbes was placed with some refractory robbers in close cabins immedi ately under the roof, whereby he was subjected alter nately to all the severities of extreme heat and cold. Returning one day from taking the air, he found that the aperture in his door by which light had been ad mitted into his cell wa s s t o pped up, and he declared that he would not go in until he had seen the director. In stead of this being allowed, twelve gaolers came, and after having cruelly beaten him dragged him by the hair and head down the stairs, and put him into a damp and unwholesome dungeon formed in the rock on which the castle stands, his legs being thrust into a sort of iron boots.

An elderly woman of insane mind, living in the Rue Beaurepaire, was attended by her daughter with unre mitting care, and never left by her except when asleep.

There is something in the conduct of this woman so utterly abandoned—so entirely dead to every sentiment of gratitude and paren tal tenderness—so indifferent to the magnitude of the crimes committed in her name—so callous to the sufferings and death of the misguided dupes of her avarice, ambition, and thirst of re venge, that even the unscrupulous champions of every assumption of despotic power in Princes shrink from 'the obloquy of undertaking her defence at the bar of public opinion. Destitute alike of decency and shame, she, in order to in crease the listof the alleged crimes of the Spanish Government, unblushingly charges the Executive Government at Madrid with the very acts com mitted by herself, while Regent of the kingdom, in the name of her august daughter. In vainly attempting to exculpate herself from the guilt of immediately and directly kindling the civil war in Spain, the ex-Regent adduces no fewer than five causes of the revolutionary outbreak with which she charges the Spanish Government. Called upon to defend her own conduct, she first shuffiingly equivocates, and next proceeds to impeach the integrity of her accusers. As many of our readers may not have much attended to her manifesto published in The Sun of Tuesday, we quote from it the causes alleged by her, of the attempted CHRISTINA revolution in Spain:— " Those causes are to be found —I. In the attempts ' of Barcelona and Valencia ; 2. In the vicious origin of the Government constituted in Madrid, the work of the revolution of September ; 3. In the usurpa tion of Royal authority, in the illegality and un ruly injustice of, the measures of Government in numerous and flagrant infractions of the constitu tion and the laws • 4. In its imprudent and scanda lous obstinacy in violating the faith pledged at Bergara, and trampling under foot the ancient and venerable fueros of the generous Basques and Navarrese ; 5. In the violent and iniquitous usurpation of the Queen's right to the guardianship of her illustrious ilaughters, a usur pation which lo: al Spaniards viewed with stupor equalled only by their Profound grief, because they witnessed on this and several other occasions the contempt entertained for divine and human laws • and because they saw the honour and dignity of the mother of their Sovereign seri ously offended. In this uninterrupted series of - violent 1 attempts against all that was most worthy of respect and most sacred in the nation, against the holy religion which it professes, and against the common father of the faith ' fal--.11 those acts of iniquity, oppression, and political insanity w hi c h have scandalized the world—the Chris tian world —and cruelly ex asperated the nation, behold the princip a l, t h e real cause, the efficient cause, of the last insurrecti on , w hi ch the excess of so many evils had rendered inevitable. To show the utter worthlessness of this woman's testimony, we shall go through these charges in the order in which they are made, that the public may see what truth there is in them. We have, first, the attempts of Barcelona and Valencia. These attempts at insurrectionary movements were made by the Ultra-Liberals, THE SUN, LONDON"; SATITIMAY, OCTOBER 30, 1841. 'rhirty4even threw herself out. Providentially in her fall her foot was caught by the rails of a balcony on the second floor, and thus she remained suspended for a considerable time with her head downwards. The neighbours brought out mattresses and a quantity of straw, and laid them in the street to receive her, in case of her hold giving way. Others hastened to the balcony, and, by passing sheets round her body, took her in. The foot by which she was caught had been broken, but she bad not received any other injury. M. Rubini left Bordeaux again for Madrid on the 23d inst. The whole proceeds of the concert at which he sang were given, according to the intention we have an nounced, for the benefit of the poor of the town. A Berlin letter Says—" It is believed that the marri age of the Prince Royal of Bavaria is determined upon. This affair was of some importance, as the Protestants of the kingdom required, as a guarantee, that the future Queen should be of the. Lutheran Church, as the present Queen and the Queen Dowager are. The intended con sort of the heir, to the Bavarian throne is the sister of the Queen of Greece; the. Princess Elizabeth Maria Frede rica, daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. She was born on the Bth of June, 1820. The hand of the Princess Aldegonda will not, ,it appears, be granted to the Duke de Bordeaux, but to the hereditary Prince of Modem" . _ _ . The Sentinelle of Bayonne, of the 23d inst., says— " Two sloops from Deva, with fugitives on board, were stopped yesterday at sea by some - trincadores of Saint Sebastian which had perceived them. One was taken, but till other made her escape, thanks to the energy of one of the passengers, who fired a pistol at one of the sailors of the pursuers, and these being intimidated al lowed the sloop to proceed. She afterwards entered the port of Soco in safety. About a hundred officers, non commissioned officers and soldiers, arrived at Bayonne yesterday evening. About 400 others are following. Several hundreds have left the Aldudes for different localities. Two companies of the 43d regiment of the line have left for Espelette, to relieve two other cora panies, who have to conduct Spanish refugees." The evening before last, a corn-rick in the farm of M. Mignau, Mayor of Mesnil Aubry, near Ecouen, in the Seine-et Oise, caught fire, arid, notwithstanding the most prompt and effective assistance from all the surrounding communes, the flames communicated to a barn against which the rick stood, and also to other ricks ; nor could they be extinguished until the building and upwards of 30,000 sheaves of corn were consumed. By the great exertions made, there was every hope of preserving the other buildings ; but the flames continued to rage till nine o'clock yesterday morning, when 230 men from the garrison at St. Denis came to the relief of the men, who had been employed all night, and were worn out by fa tigue. The fire was not extinguished when this account came away. A letter from Perpignan states, " The municipality of Valencia has placed itself in communication with that of Barcelona—the Junta of Surveillance of the latter place has released most of the persons who were ar rested by way of precaution, but against whom nothing has been proved. General Baratell has been appointed by the Regent Governor of Barcelona. Measures of surveillance continued in Catalonia, but up to the 23d the province was tranquil. The Ocean steamer, after having touched at Barcelona, has arrived at PortVendres. A great many persons were unable to leave, for want of passports." A pleasant mot of the mother of Mademoiselle Rachel is cited. Since this accomplished actress's triumphant reception in London—since the favours lavished on her by Queens Victoria and Adelaide, Madame Felix, the name of the fair tragedian's mother, has been so intoxicated with the young actress's success, as to have almost perdu la tete.: The wags allege that nothing short of the title of " Queen-Mother" will satisfy the old lady's exigeance. They add, that she has taken Royal state and dignity upon her, and that if any one speak to her on the subject of a "civil list," he would be speedily shown to the door by her subjects (domestics). In illustration of this idiosyncracy of the elder Rachel, the following anecdote is related:—A few days since one . of the most celebrated female haber dashers and getters up of fine linen in Paris, called upon her for the price of a magnificent cambric handkerchief, embroidered and fringed with lace of great value, which was especially made and supplied several months back to " llermione," to wipe away her tragical tears. The sight of the poor plaguy lingere's bill set the old lady in a rage, and she -refused point-blank to pay; the tradeswoman, forgetting the "Royal" dignity of the per son whom she addressed, took the incredible liberty of insisting; whereupon the superb Felicia, irritated and provoked beyond all the bounds of restraint, rose from her seat with the air of a wounded sultana, and exclaimed, " W -)man, withdraw.

Oct. 24 HOW THE POOR ARE BURIED BY THE POOR MAN'S Caunerr.—One day last week, a person, on whose vera city we can rely, went into a church-yard, St. John's Wood, attracted there by a few persons assembled. Presently one coffin was brought out of the church; then a second, then a third, and then a fourth, and so on—in all, nine coffins—six of children, and three of grown per sons—which were placed in one truck. Speedily there followed a few persons without any mark of mourning or decorum—in truth, a ragged pauper mob—and then came the parson. The truck was immediately wheeled off to a distant part of the church-yard, and into one hole were the nine bodies cast. The parson then hurried through the burial service, our informant says, reading only a part of it ; but, perhaps, that is a mis take, and then earth was thrown in, and the nine bodies were hidden. As they were placed in this hole a little girl, pointing to one of the little coffins, said " That is our's, mother." There was a mother present, therefore, and a sister, to note the way in which the Church and the parish treated their child and sister, while the public will now learn with some indignation, we weep, how the Church and Parish shoot the poor into a hole in the earth in bulk. Our informant, one of the humbler classes, was indignant at the unseemly exhibition and declared that she would submit to any strait while living to be spared such an indignity when dead. There is no doubt great distress and no little mortality among the poor, but this scene reminds us of the time of the plague. As there is no plague now, however, we cannot imagine an apology for this conduct by the poor man's Church. CRIME IN THE AGRICULTURAL COUNTIES.—The fol io% ing pargraph is going the round of the Tory papers:— "In Berkshire, as in most of the agricultural counties, there has been a great decrease of crime of late. The number of prisoners in Reading gaol, in October this year is 138, whilst in the corresponding quarter of last year there were 209, and of this number but a very small proportion could read and write, and fully one-third could not read at all." Whether this paragraph be true or not, the object of the persons who publish it is to throw a slur on the morality of the manufacturing districts. The landlords first reduce the labouring manufacturers, by their iniquitous enactments, to the deepest poverty, mid then set their scribes to calumniate them. This is a part of their abominable system of decrying manu factures. Let them do justice to the manufacturers, let them allow the manufacturing labourers the free use of their honest industry, and . to enjoy their own pro perty, and they will be more moral than the landlords themselves. A KEEPER OP SECRETS.—(From a Malta paper.)—We have no news from Egypt and Syria that would interest you. The affair of Tunis, too, I, mks little likely to be as productive for us newspaper folks as .it promised, and we have gotten a sour curmudgeon of a non-newspaper loving sailor for an Admiral, who seems to think that his secret orders, received or given, are not the property of the press.

On the 19t,11:i;paTte;: left that — City for the Ba'sques, amidst the acclamations of the people. Never before was he universally popular in Spain. To prove to the world that his Government is not based on a military despotism, he has left Madtid without a single soldier of the line, trusting entirely to the loyalty, fidelity, and zeal of the National Guards. Could his traducer, Louis-Philippe, attempt such an experiment of his popularity among the citizens of Paris ? Monies de Oca has been shot at Vittoria by command of General Rodil. This unfortunate Christino partizan was for some time Minister of the Interior. To the honour of Martin Zurbano, for whose head Montes de Oca offered 100,000 reals, we have to record that when De Oca was delivered up to him, he made an effort to save him. Zurbano is one of the most ruthless men in Spain, and assuredly would have shot De Oca had he not been his personal enemy. Borso di Carminati has also been shot. These exe- cutions, with that of the unfortunate General Leon, include all that have yet taken place in Spain for the revolutionary attempt. The Regent is disposed to act with great leniency towards the insurgents. The following significant paragraph is from the Ga zette de France. It is needless to say that the holder of the pen alluded to is no less a personage than the Citizen King :—" The answers of Christina to M. Olozaga were only sent on Saturday, after it had been ascertained that O'Donnell had entered France. It is unnecessary to say under whose influence those answers were made: The - y . , were written by the same pen that wrote the protest of the Queen-Mother—and it is not a Spanish pen." . The Gazette de France also states that a great deal of ill-humour has been excited at the Tuileries by the failure of O'Donnell's expedition ; and that on the other hand, M. Guizot is very angry that the conspiracy should have been concerted between the Camarilla of the Palace and the Hotel of the Rue de Courcelles. He has written everywhere to say that his Ministry was a com plete stranger to it. But proofs of the co-operation of the French Government are coming in from all quarters. The Pacha of Egypt has allowed all descriptions of British goods to pass to and fro between Alexandria and Sucz on payment of a transit duty of 1 per cent. PUBLIC OPINION. In commenting on the rumoured appointment of an English Bishop to the See of Jerusalem, the Times has these observations :—" If the views of our Bishops in this matter are really such as they have been repre sented to be (and we cannot doubt it), it does seem not a little extraordinary, that Jerusalem rather than Con stantinople should have been selected as the place for the new prelate's residence ; that (in combination with that circumstance) a clergyman of the Jewish race should have been selected for the Bishop ; and, lastly, that the plan should have originated with the King of Prussia."— It does indeed seem extraordinary that a clergyman of the Jewish race should have been selected for the Bishop— so extraordinary that we cannot bring ourselves to be lieve the rumour. How can a prelate, who, being of the Jewish race, must necessarily have strong sympathies with the Jews, acquit himself as an exemplary Christian pastor ? Duty will suggest one line of conduct, old family associations another. At every step of his Epis copal career he will be hampered with his Israelitish connections ; and the inevitable result will be, his utter inability to adopt any definite rule of conduct. He will he a Bishop only in name and in income, but this is not the sort of diocesan wanted in Jerusalem. The Morning Herald anticipates the speedy downfal of O'Connell's influence in Ireland, observing:—" The Earl of Shrewsbury first threw a bucket of water into Mr. O'Connell's face, and he had scarcely recovered the use of his vision, and done stamping with rage and wringing his clothes, when Mr. Sharman Crawford struck him a dangerous blow under the fifth rib ; while engaged-in abusing that honest gentleman, his friend, Mr. - O'Brien, has administered to his posterior quarter a most stinging kick ; and young Mr. Porsonby has gladly, seized the opportunity produced by the pain of this blow, to snap his Whiggish fingers in his Carlow patron's face. "The straw is every where moving,' Mr. Daniel O'Connell, and just and impartial government by Lords De Grey and Eliot will totally extinguish you. Retire, then, as grace fully as you can, at once ; do not ; wait to be hissed and hooted from the stage on which you have been so long strutting and fretting,' by the very gods' who once received you with thunders of applause.' " If the Irish Government be, conducted on the broad principle of justice, then indeed Mr. O'Connell's popu lar influence-will be greatly diminished, for he is the chosen champion of his country's wrongs, who makes them known through him ; and in proportion to the ex• tea of her, grievances, is the extent of his power of agitation; but sVe have no reason to believe that the so_manage matters, as to leave Mr. O'Connell few or nci•vt'rongs to complain of, and to seek redress for ; they will he'pretty• sure to give him plenty of em ployment in this line, - and so maintain his influence unimpaired. The Chronicle remarks, in reference to the extinction of the old Dublin Corppration—" Nab - Oily but an Eng lishman or a Seotehman, who had lived in Dublin under the old systeM, can form anything like a prOpei estimate of the selfish manners, the insolent rapacity, laid the vulgar impudence of the Orange Corporation of Dublin. Very few of the respectable Protestant citizens had any thing to do with it. Noisy and needy partizans, shabby tradesmen, and brawling topers, composed the bulk of its members; and not a few of them, the chief portion of whose lives had been spent in toasting the glorious and immortal memory, Protestant ascendancy, and perdition to the Pope, were men whose intellectual capacity bare ly enabled them to comprehend that Protestant ascend ancy meant the old Corporation, and the Protestant faith keeping tire `bloody Papists' down. Latterly there was a kind of external decency thrown over the conduct of the old corporation, as it felt that it was getting old and was about to die. But the whole spirit was still there,-the old' trust-in-God-and-keep-your-powder-dry' spirit."—Twelve years ago, when Orangeism was in all its glory, and anticipating a long reign of corruption and misrule, who would have predicted the so speedy demo lition of its strong hold in the Dublin corporation? Were Alderman Beresford, of Riding-house notoriety, now living, the shock of its deStruction would have killed him; or if he could survive that, never could he have survived the presence of his arch-enemy O'Connell in the Mansion Hoes°, as Catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin! The Post says:- . --" However much we lament the cri minal violence of the opposition with which the present Government is assailed, and however much to be re gretted the immediate consequences upon the minds of the distressed populace may be, we think the Conserva tive Government is not unlikely to gain strength by it in the end. The policy of that Government is evidently to embrace within its pale all who are friends of good order, and of moderation and good sense in political matters, whether they have been heretofore called Tories of Whie• ' s. The Opposition, by which it is so virulently assailed, is that of desperate and outrageous instigators of political violence ; and we do not see hew respectable men of any party can tail to be disgusted with this, and to be predisposed to take the side on which this disgusting violence is not."—The plain meaning of this flourish of words is, that all who refuse to believe in the political foresight and stern Spartan-like integrity of the Tory Government are desperate and outrageous instigators of violence ; and that all sagacity, all honesty, all love of order and decorum are confined within the narrow pale of Toryism ! The following is from the Corh Southern Reporter : " The old and decrepid Corporation is no more ; it is gone to the tomb of the Capulets, after existing, as a Protestant ascendency institution for 185 years. It would, in a short time, have died of inanition if it were not thus strangled by the strong arm of the law, without the regret of any party, and amidst the scoffs arid jeer ings of the people. The Corporation of this City was established in its late form in the reign of Charles 11., avowedly for the reason of maintaining Protestant ascen dency in Church and State." Speaking of some recent Tory appointments, the Limerick Reporter remarks as follows:—" The profes sions made by Lord Eliot in his speech to the electors of Cornwall have been eitherly utterly forgotten or were never intended, when made, to be worked into practical effect. The recent and coming appointments argue not only a total oblivion of them, but a perverse anxiety to outrage the people in every imaginable manner." The Nottingham Review makes the following remarks on the distressed state of the country :—" The manufac turing towns are swiftly hasting to ruin. In Notting ham, the meagre famished appearance and squalid coun tenances of men walking along the streets, or dragging sand-carts from door to door, is truly heart-rending ; we have many, every day, begging at our doers ; the cruel Poor-law Commissioners prohibit relief out of the work house to the able-bodied who are unemployed, and rather than go into the house, some beg, others steal, and many sicken and die !"

The Tyne Mercury relates the following curious ane c i : l dote :—" A most singular blunder was committed j,, Barnard-castle last week, by a poor woman residing ~ Thorngate, the wife of a labouring man.

The rites ° baptism and christening were performed, and the ster was named " Richard." About a week afterw however, a neighbour discovered the bantling to be little girl !"—To mistake a Tory for an old woman is natural enough mistake, the resemblance between the two being so striking ; but to mistake a little gill fore little boy, is a blunder that could only have been fet'd by one who had a true Irish genius for blundering.
