AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. ll' thing 0 3 minute; after I I I Evening .... 57 minutes alter 11. PEEL, if he be not aware of the fact, that to re sist him and his supporters, though he be clothed' with the authority of the Ministry, though a great majority of the House of Commons and the House of Lords combine to force him into office, will be neither treason nor rebellion. The Tory faction are not, they cannot be, the Sovereign. It may be rebellion to resist the Sovereign, or treason to set the law at defiance, but we are not aware of the existence of a statute, or any declaration of the will of the QUEEN con ferring the Ministry on the Tories. Before it I can be rebellion to resist Sir R. PEEL, even by force, if necessary, a law must be passed, or a proclamation must be issued, to constitute him the Sovereign of the country. • Sir ROBERT PEEL is not freely chosen by the QUEEN to be the depositary of her power : he is the creature of a foul brood of monopolists. As the leader of the Tories he is the spawn of cor ruption. The majority he represents is not the majority of the nation, but the majority of a comparatively small class. He is the servant of a usurping oligarchy. Were he and h 6 friends the fairly chosen representatives of the majority of the whole empire, obedience might be a duty ; but elected only by a small portion, in which one sect predominates—the working classes, who most suffer by the laws, having no part in the choice; and the laws concerning food, which are now a question affecting them more nearly and dearly than any other class,—we cannot consider that obedience to him and the oligarchy in the abstract and generally, whatever a love of peace or prudence may counsel to individuals, is either a virtue or a duty. On the contrary, pledged as he and his friends are to a most immoral and most unjust course of policy, it would be vicious not to resist them, and not to do all in our power to put an end to their ascendancy in the Govern ment of the empire. Look also at the means by which that majority was obtained. The Times has admitted " A prevalence of bribery in the English city and borough elections, which could scarcely be exceeded if it were lawful to sell votes. The evil has attained to such a flagrant height, that if it is not soon put a stop to, it will Xie impossible for the House of Commons to retain Any considerable portion of the esteem or respect of the people. Bribery is not either a Whig or a Conservative vice ; it is a vice of the whole political system, iris often forced upon candidates against their will, and even the most profligate candidates are generally met half way by the electoral bodies. During the late election it was practised more shamelessly than ever. We could men tion cases in which 100/. and upwards has been given for single votes." Every person knows that the county elections were decided by the landlords, who forced their serf tenants-at-will to vote as suited them. The majority of the tenants have no firm conviction of the utility of keeping up the duties on timber; they desire to have cheap sugar, and would re joice in low rents. They have no attachment to PEEL; probably all they know of him is, that he sacrificed Protestant ascendancy to keep his place; but they have voted for him, for high rents, high-priced timber, and dear sugar, in obedience to the command of the rent-owners. A majority so constituted has no just claim on the obedience of the community. When the political machine went forward by a sort of routine, it was of no consequence, per haps, how Members were elected; but now, when the public continually interferes to guide and di rect it—now when attention is continually called to the manner in which it is formed, and what it is to do—now, when men feel them selves individually responsible for the Go vernment—to tell them they must obey Sir ROBERT PEEL because he is the favourite of a narrow oligarchy, who have got possession of the Government by corrupt and immoral means, is to insult the public understanding, and delibe rately to recommend men to honour and obey the most notorious and avowed political .protli gacy. We cannot agree with our Tory Contem poraries; and the Ministry which is founded on exclusion, corruption, and intimidation, should be as speedily as possible destroyed. If to resist and thwart Sir R. PEEL and the Orangemen, the squires, and the parsons, be rebellion—if to hold mm up to • reprutr4pon as the hiked servant or greedy and unjust monopolists be treason-if to urge the people all in our power to resist or over ' tarn the policy he has followed in opposition, be' both treason and rebellion, we shall continue to be guilty of both till our object be achieved or PEEL be enthroned. To form a just estimate of the character of our statesmen, we must always distinguish between he effects of the Legislature and of the Execu- We hold with Mr. MAcAuLAY ye powers. that the Ministers for the time being are not responsible for legislation, but they are respon sible for the execution of the laws. In propor tion, therefore, as our present financial and com mercial difficulties arise from the laws them selves, or from the manner in which they have been carried into effect, the Legislature or the Ministry must be condemned. For the de fects of the laws, particularly if they have not endeavoured to amend them, the Ministers, as members "of the Legislature, must take their share of the responsibility; but for all neglect in executing the laws they are exclusively respon sible. Now, it does not admit of one moment's doubt or hesitation, that the sources of our pre sent difficulties, both financial and commercial, are bad legislation, and not an inefficient ad ministration of the laws. Undoubtedly there are some parts of the conduct of Ministers, in relation to Canada and China, which have aug mented the public burdens; but they would not have been felt, though we make no excuse for imposing them, had not the energies of the country been crippled by legal monopolies. Who are most responsible for that legislation, I the Whigs or the Tories ? The greater part of it I was formed under Tory auspices, yet the To ries say that the Whigs are exclusively in fault, because they have been. in office eleven years. Throughout that entire period one branch of the Legislature has been decidedly opposed to them. They had no certain majority in the House of Commons till after the dissolution of Parliament in 1831, and with that majority, aided by the people, they carried the lletbrin Act in despite of the House of Lords. They did not perhaps employ very wisely the large ma j or i ty t h ey h a d in the fi rst Reformed Parliament, but they eman cipated the negroes, and impro v ed th e govern ment and tr a d e of India, and China. That ma jority, however, was under Lord GREY'S ad ministration, and Viscount MELBOURNE, in addition to havin g had the him, II ruse of Lords n t t6o h e n eleven a lways opposed has never had a m ve o r i y is e . om F m or an h d a in li g majori ty i n the House of Com the yearsTorieawhhaivche had Whigs have been in power ven Legislatu re , an d t h e the Legislature, more to bl ame t h an u g e u n e c n e t t a h r Tories,the ecfoinnsfle the Whigs for not having improved faulty and abrogated vicious laws. We have never been the indiscriminating ad vocates of the Whigs, and we have frequently condemned their policy, because it injured their party or the public; but it is excessively unjust in the Tories to find fault with them for not hav ing done what the combined Tories in the Upper and Lower Houses would not allow them to do. Be it an anomaly or not, the Whig Ministers have been fur only a short part of the period they have been in office the masters or guide of the Legislature. The Tories, form ing a large majority of the House of Lords, and an obstructing minority in the House of Com mons, having grown, in fact, during the last two sessions, to a majority on many questions ; the Tories have had in their hands the chief power of legislation, and they must be held responsible for its exercise. If, therefore, the source of our difficulties be unjust and improper legislation, it is clear the Tories, who, as the rule, have re sisted change, must be more to blame on ac count of our present difficulties than the Whigs. Sir R. PEEL and his friends—short-sighted men —were not aware that they would be dreadfully embarrassed when they were about to take office, by the consequences of the legislation tcier ^ le I at .tli h t 1 11 , 00, 111 __At c , s , z rM r tT ' Whit 2,§-anx4 LONDON : SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1341. Mr. O'CONNELL in Ireland is organizing resist ance to the Tories. In England the Whig Ra dicals are accused by the Tory Journals of la bouring to thwart and embarrass Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry. The Tories begin to be alarmed at the certain consequence of their own factious proceedings, and they are trying, in ad vance, to throw the blame of their certain failure on their opponents. "If those Papists, headed by O'CONNELL," the Tories whine, " would lie quiet, and allow US to have our own way ; if those unruly and starving manufacturers of England would slink off and die in obscurity, instead of disturbing our repose by their agonizing groans, and alarming our fears by the threats of resistance, all would be well; but that old miscreant," as they de_ light to call Mr. O'CONNELL, " will continue his seditious agitation; and the bread-tax repealers in England are becoming more and more unruly produce great con f us i on. every day, and will We tell them, therefore, that by organizing an opposition to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and by the re solution to overturn the Corn-law, they are no 1111,;titit traitgrs or -rebels ; and, if it be neces „ Sar • I augment the military force, will , call-64A omanry, and put down these trai tori alid: re' as the enemies of good order and the State '~ That in Ti mmary of many l ong l ucu b ra ti o ris me 4 -Past, Standard, and Co.

PEEL and his party are properly punished, by the dfficulties of their situation, fir maintainin,g, the laws which are now causing a deficiency of revenue for the State and a deficiency of food for the people. The advent of the Tories to office, was to be the coming of peace and prosperity. We have al ready adverted to the disastrous effect their ap proach to power has had on ouftrade. Its effects may be traced abroad, as well as at home. The healthy influence of Great Britain over other countries is'ehecked, by the certainty that the Tories will soon annihilate it altogether., France, defeated in Syria, turns her attention to Spain, and •the intrigues of LOUIS PHILIPPE threaten to embroil that country, in order to pave the way for placing his branch of the BOURBONS on the throne. He would not have undertaken that task had Lord PALMERSTON, who so cleverly overthrew M. Tnitas, not been about to retire. Lord PALMERSTON is aware that any remon strances on his part would want the weight which they had when he was backed by the confidence of Parliament, and he is condemned to a limited activity. The Tories like DON CAR LOS better than the EX•QUEEN, and the EX-QUEEN better than ESPARTERO, and they would look complacently on the intrigues to defeat ESPARTERO, in the hope of restoring the ascendancy of the Carlists, if they could not expect to place CARLOS on the Throne. The probability of the Tories acceding to office has given strength and consistency, then, to the plans. of Louis PHILIPPE and the ex-Queen of SPAIN. They know that in a fortnight they will have nothing whatever to dread from England. At home the effect of the Tories' success has been to produce bankruptcy and augment distress; abroad it has endangered an ally, and may speedily embroil Europe. We perceive with pleasure that the new colony of Western Australia, has commenced most auspiciously. England now boasts another fair daughter in Australind, which promises to grow and flourish like her sisters. All the settlers write in the most favourable terms of the country at Leschenault, and say it would be per fect did not a bar at the entrance of the inlet impede navigation. They find both lime stone and timber close to the spot they have chosen for the site of their town ; the waters abound in fish; and melons, grapes, with all the fruits and vegetables common to our climate, thrive well. It is some satisfaction to our people to know, that, as their own father-land is made comfortless by penury, and unbearable by the oppression of grinding monopolies, — that new homes are preparing for them and their offspring in the southern hemisphere,— where Englishmen are establishing a new em pire, that promises, in time, to be as prosperous and as powerful as the Old England of the Northern Hemisphere. Some extracts from the public despatches of the Governor of the new settlement, will be found in another part of The Sun. We anticipated yesterday all the really im portant news in the Paris Journals of Wed nesday. The speech of Commodore Sir !JII A ALES .NAPIER at the dinner given to Ad miral Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, iS thesubject of a most bitter article in the Cournier _Francais of 'Wednesday. Some topics were touched upon in the Commodore's speech which might have better been avoided; but the Gal- lant and Honourable Gentleman stood in so pe culiar a position that lie could not well omit them. After the correspondence that had taken place between himself and the Admiral relative to some expressions delivered, inadvertently perhaps, in the course of his addresses at Li verpool and Manchester, he may have consi dered it a duty which he owed to his own high character, to repeat in Admiral STOP.. FORD'S presence, every statement which bad made e 1:81! ete teat if C.:,4 1 mimodure N !PIER spoke more of his own brilliant exploits than the fastidious public care to hear from the mouths ot. heroes, when speaking of themselves, he spoke under strong and unnierited provocation. lu the negotiations with MEHEMET ALI he was treated by the Admiral in a way which it was impossible fur him not to resent, and this involved the neces sity of appealing to the principal share which he undoubtedly had in the conquest of Syria. We alluded yesterday to an able article in the Journal des JJebats on the new Treaty of Lon don. The following extract from it will give our readers au idea of the way in which this Treaty is regarded by Frenchmen of moderate opinions: It is important, in order that the spirit of this pro tocol may be fully understood, to know in what way France was called upon by the rest of Europe to become again a party to the European compact. Was it merely as connected with a temporary question like that of the treaty of July 15 ? No, it was a general and permanent ques tion, a question which involves the integrity and indepen dence of the Ottoman Empire, that is to say, the very basis of the difficulties which had been created in Europe by that treaty. Europe imagines that the closing of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to the ships of war of all nations is the surest guarantee for the maintenance of the Ottoman empire. We may be of a different opinion; we might say, that this guarantee, having for its defence only the weakness of the Ottoman Porte, is illusory ; that a neutrality, which is not protected by some effective force, is at the mercy of the first Power which may at tempt to violate it ; -that the means of preventing any Power whatever from taking possession of Constantinople in the event of war, should rather be, perhaps, to open the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles to the vessels of war of ail nations, because in this way what is now defended by no Power, and may be attacked by any Power, would in that case be defended by all; finally, we might diffiir as to the means invented for the mainte nance of the Ottoman Empire. But whatever these means ma y be, it is evident that the protocol of July 13 makes the independence of the Empire one of the principles of the general law of Europe. For the . future, Turkey becomes part of Europe, and no European Power can aggrandise itself at the expense of the Ottoman Porte, without creating a legitimate ground of complaint from all the other Powers. In inviting France to re-enter into the European compact of this general and permanent question, which is so intimately connected with the maintenance of the equilibrium of Europe, the protocol of the 13th of July declares explicitly its sense of the manner in which the affairs of the East and West are in future to be regulated. It excludes all exclusive preponderance, and in this sense we think the protocol must be displeasing to England, or rather, we should say, and we hasten to mate the distinction, to those persons in England who adopted the adventurous policy of Lord Palmerston. We cannot believe that a policy whose prin. ciple is the division of the domination in the East with Russia can be an English policy. The protocol is a new blow at the policy of M. Thiers. The opposition jour nals cannot approve of this protocol, but neither can they attack it, for in giving new guarantees for the mainte nance of peace, it gives general satisfaction to the coun try, and to attack it would be to offend the feelings and : assail the interests of the nation. The opposition jour nals may remain silent if they please, but their silence will not deceive the country as to the importance of this pro wool. The Berne papers mention that the majority of States in the Swiss Diet have pronounced against the proposition of Argau for only re-establishing the con vent of nuns in that canton. Twelve States have de manded that a special commission should be appointed. A curious incident occurred in the Court at Tulle, during the trial of Madame Laffarge. About the time of Madame de Leotaud entering the hall, every one was on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of her, and a general outcry was raised by those in the back-ground against a gentle man in front, who was, as they supposed, standing on his chair. All their remonstrances to make him " stand down" were ineffectual, and at length the gendarmes were called in to enforce their wishes, when it was dis covered that the party was not standing on the chair, but was standing 6 feet 5 inches in his shoes. A Royal Ordonnance has just fixed the future number of pupils of the Ecoles Royales des Arts et ' o r f he th b e u s rs t y te sh a i r p e s t a o nd be ot d h i e v r id e e n d ce i u n ra e g g er iael Metiers of Ch a l ons an d A ngers a t 300 for each school. o t r h t e io c n l s iar be ie . 1 p t s r o a p t tween the two schools.

" The Minister of Public Instruction," says the Courrier Francais," paid a visit a few days since to M. A. Duval, the dramatic author, who has been confined to his bed for some time by illness. On returning to his official residence, the Minister increased the pension already allowed to M. Duval, by 1,000 f." The Municipal Council of Marseilles has resolved on recommending the formation of a railroad between Marseilles and Lyons, or at least from Marseilles to the Rhone. _ The remains of the poor c hild ren, recently mur &red near - gleans, have been taken Lek to that town, and there buried. The- ceremony was attended with a remarkable occurrence. A dog, belonging to the family of one of the girls, obstinately persisted in continuing, during the funeral procession, under the coffin, as if it were impossible for him to quit the remains of his young mistress as long as they were above ground, adding greatly to the painful feelings of all in attendance. A mason living at the Point du Jour, beyond Au teuil, had long been in the habit of getting drunk, and then beating his wife. Two days ago her cries became so piercing, that the neighbours forced their way into the house, to - save her from his brutality. They were only just in time, for they found the mason in the act of forcing the unhappy woman out of the window. She had caught by the frame with one of her hands, which the savage was actually tearing with his teeth, in order to make her let go her hold. Some gendarmes attracted by the disturbance, came up, and, aided by the people, saved her ; but it was only after a dangerous conflict that they could secure the husband, and conduct him to the Prefecture of Police. The act of devoted courage of Mlle. Amelie de Roquefeuil d'Ambert, in a fire at a ladies' school at Montpelier, where she was teacher, •having been made known to the King by the Minister of the Interior, his Majesty has conferred upon her a silver medal, with a remuneration of 300 f.,; and has o r d ere d t h at th e p roo f of resolution shown by her should be recorded among the honourable actions annually laid by the Minister be fore the King. M. de Saint Albin, a magistrate and landowner at Montrouge, part of whose property lies on the line of fortifications, had applied to the local magistrates for redress - against the contractors for the works of the line in that district, on account of their having trespassed on and injured his property without the proper legal summonses having been made. He was assured that re dress should be given him, but, the trespass having been renewed, he applied direct to the Tribunal of First In stance, the President of which, Vii. Debelleyme, has issued a decree forbidding the parties in question from entering on the ground of M. de Saint Albin, until all the legal formalities shall have been duly complied with. A difference having arisen, the day before yester day, between about 150 of the labourers employed on the works of the fort at Noisy-le-Sec and the middleman, who had engaged them, he referred them to the contrac tor. The labourers claimed of him 3f. a day, instead of 2f. 50c., which he offered, and with which all the other labourers were contented. The disputes which this oc casioned rose to violent altercations and acts which made the interference of the armed force necessary. A con flict would have ensued had not the Mayor of Romain ville interposed, and by his remonstrances with the men, in which he persevered for six hours, prevented an ex plosion. A SLAP IN THE FACE.—The Stockholm papers men tion that a saucy femme7de-chambre being lately brought up before one of the Magistrates of the town of Hues berg in Sweden, so far forgot herself as to give him a slap in the face while in the execution of his office. Accord ing to the severe penal laws of that country she was condemned to death ; and such was the violence of her character, that it required a long time, and all the in stances of her friends, to induce her to sign a petition to the King for pardon. She was at last prevailed on to do so, and her sentence was commuted into imprison ment for twelve days, and twelve months' labour in a house of correction. The following &tails of the election of the dele gates of Guadaloupe are given by the Moniteur Parisien : " The great majority of the Colonial Council, as appears from the elections, belongs to the party which resists the views of the Government as to slave-emancipation. The number of Councillors who voted was 24. M. de Cha zelles, planter, of Guadaloupe, had 15 votes. M. Des mirail, formerly Procureur-General, and now planter at Guadaloupe; 13; M. Granier de Cassagnac, 11 ; M. Vil lemain, planter, at Martinique, 9. The minority felt itself to be so'weak, that it did not venture to vote for Messrs. Jabrun and Janvier, the delegates who had given in their resignations in consequence of differences with the Colonial Council." M. Thiers passed through Cologne on the 6th inst., on his way to Berlin. The Bishop of Algiers has arrived at Toulon, having come over to France for the benefit of his health. The Imperial, of Besancon, has the following article :—" While the Journals are alleging all sorts of subtleties and scepticisms to confuse the question relative to the re-assessment, the execution of this measure, which is for the interest of the public, proceeds quietly in our departments. It has been completed in 400 rural communes, and in the Banlieu of Besancon, the officers employed in the operation for these ten days, have every reason to be satisfied with the reception given them by the citizens of all classes, and of all opinions, whose houses they have visited.—Le Moniteur. _ _ We have received news from New York, dated July 19th. A letter from Lackford, the town where Mr. M'Leod is confined, had just arrived at New York, bringing word that a party of Canadians, consisting of 400 men had forced the doors of Mr. M'Leod's prison, and set him at liberty. The truth of this report was, however, doubted.—Gazette de France. We have received this morning the Toulouse Jour nals of the Bth. The France Meridionale, a Ministerial journal, after having announced the apprehension of Messrs. Arzac, Boaldes, and Gase, before the examining Judge, says this affair will not be followed up.

The Gazette de France states that the medical men who were called in to attend the Duke de Bordeaux had guaranteed his perfect cure. The Moniteur Parisien, on the other hand, says, that the first ' assistance given to the Prince was not skilfully directed ; that the most simple precautions had been neglected, and that several hours had elapsed before the aid of a professional man could be obtained. " The state of the Prince," adds that journal, " offered no dan ger , b ut i t was thought he would remain lame for the rest of his life, and perhaps would never be able to walk without crutches." The France states, that a considerable number of Roy alists had set off from Kirchberg to present their condo lences to the Duke of Bordeaux. The intended visit of the king of the Belgians to France was understood to have been postponed. The Presse contradicts the report of the King and Royal family, attended by Marshal Soult, intending to be present at the fetes of Boul, Julogne. The France announces the Appointment of the Mar quis of Dalmatia to the Prussian Embassy. The Courrier Francais states that much illness pre vailed among the crews of the division of Captain Leroy at Tunis. According - to the same journal the sqtiadron of Admiral Hugon was to remain a week at Algiers, and then return to Toulon, where it is expected about the 20th instant. The division under Rear-Admiral Las susse is to stop at Smyrna, in order to be at hand to re ceive despatches from France, Constantinople, and Alex andria.

The Germanic Diet held a last sitting for this Session on the sth instant, at which Baron de Bulow was for mally received as the Prussian Envoy. SYRIA. A letter from Beyrout, of the Bth ult., mentions that th e negot i at i ons w i th the Pr i nces of Lebanon had taken an unfavourable turn for the Sultan. The Syrians, after consenting to pay 3,500 purses, ap peared disinclined to make even this slight sacrifice, and under various pretexts had pushed their outposts to within a short distance of Jerusalem, of which they were desirous to gairt possession. The country of El Arisch, near the city, was devastated by the Arabs of the Desert. The leading wish of the Christian popula tion of Syria was to be formed into an independent State, under the nominal sovereignty of the Porte. CAND lA.

SURIifARY OF MEWS AAD publtr eptnion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. Cabrera has addressed letter:a to the Presidents of the, French Chambers and to Marshal Soult, requiring an increase of the allowance granted to the Carlist re fugees. France has certainly an abundance of demands upon her purse. Between building ships and building walls, and carrying on an interminable --war in Africa, and feeding refugees, and supporting emissaries in Syria, she has plenty to do with her money. Thorwaldsen, the celebrated sculptor, recently visited Lucerne, to view his own work, the Dying Lion, raised in honour of the Swiss, who sacrificed their lives to their duty on the memorable 10th August, 1792. A grand fete was given to the eminent artist on the spot where this monument stands. -- A scientific Congress of France is to take place a t Lyons on the Ist of September. The proceedings will open with a grand mass, and close with a concert on the Saone. During the period of the Congress remaining united, an excursion in a steamer will be made down the Rhone to Vienne, to inspect the antiquities of that place. A bronze medal is to be struck in commemora tion of the event, and is to be given to each member present. PUBLIC OPINION. The Tory journals have lost much of that feeling of exultation which but t a few weeks since set them almost beside themselves. As the hour of trial ap proaches, they are beset with nervous apprehensions for the issue, and talk of the embarrassments of Sir Robert Peel, just as if they thought they were too great for a statesman of his calibre successfully to grapple with. Of such a desponding character is the following passage which we quote from the Post:—." The Whigs, rejoice in what ought to be their shame, because of the antici pated embarrassment to the Conservative Administration. No doubt if Sir Robert Peel be made Minister, his posi tion will be anything but a bed 'of roses ; the Whig- Radical mismanagement has made that certain enough. The follies and the crimes of Whig-Radical administration of affairs for some years past has produced such a crop of embarrassments as must make the business of successfully governing the country a task of the utmost difficulty, unless a current of good fortune should set in, upon which it would be quite unreasonable to calculate." It is not the "follies and crimes" of the Whigs which have occasioned the present deplorable state of things, but the " follies and crimes " of the Tories, who opposed almost every valuable measure that the former brought forward. Who aggravated the discontent of Ireland, by turning out Lord Morpeth's Registration Bill ? The Tories. Who crushed the able plan of national edu cation proposed by the Whigs? The Tories. Who sup ported monopoly, and refused any alteration in the Corn laws? Still the Tories. These - are the men who, hay ing " sowed the wind," , are now about to " reap the whirlwind," and have none to blame but themselves. The Times contains an article on the subject of the Dissenters, which betrays the odium theologicum in every sentence. From its acrimony and uncharitableness it might have been written by Exeter himself. Indeed it is tainted throughout with a strong odour of episcopacy, as will be seen by this passage : " The elections, therefore, have clearly demonstrated the numerical weakness of your noisy political Dissenters. For some years past they have strutted and swaggered, as if they constituted the great bulk of British so 7 ciety. Repeatedly have they sent their insolent behests to Lord Melbourne by medium of a clean-shaved and clean-shirted deputation 200 strong, pretending to be the most influential body in the kingdom. The rank knavery of these pretenders is now found out. Their boasted po litical weight, as arrogating a sufficiency of power to sway the Parliamentary returns according to their own heart, is discovered to be arrant humbug." The Herald advocates the re-election of Mr. Shaw Lefevre to the Speakership, and observes that the Duke of Wellington is decidedly favourable to it. •` We have understood (says our Contemporary) that an illustrious Duke, whose good opinion is not less the seal and stamp of excellence upon civil than upon military servants of the public, has expressed, from the first day that the re cent appeal to the people was determined on, the most emphatic interest in the Right Hon. Gentleman's re-elec tion, " of . which his Grace would never allow himself to doubt." The Chronicle remarks, in an article suggested by the approaching Corn-law conference of Clergymen pt Manchester:—" Clergymen, Established and Dissenting, are praying for sunshine to dispel ' the fears excited b 111 IS ungetriarninWesitTine. Lethem pray; but let t em also beware lest their hearts smite them for inconsis tency, if not hypocrisy, should they hold back from this good work at Manchester. The bread-tax is a blight on the world's harvests. It is the blast and shower that level with the ground the poor labourer's hopes. Monopoly diminishes crops and prevents harvests. Nature allows the cultivators of a distant soil to grow corn for the ope rative here; their interest prompts them to do it; but monopoly forbids. It creates an artificial barrenness there; and a corresponding artificial scarcity here. To pray against rain and not act against monopoly, is to serve heaven in word and insult heaven in deed. On the ministers of religion it devolves to vindicate her name from this profanity." The Advertiser says :—" The only ascertained fact in connection with the policy of the embryo Government of Sir Robert Peel, is that that policy is to be based on expediency. It is to be a Government reared and main tained on the ruin of all fixed principle. The sliding scale, so strenuously advocated by the expectant Premier, in the article of corn, is to be applied to every depart ment of his policy. He is to vary his measures with the ever-varying aspect of the political horizon, and the ever • changing phases of party spirit and party practices." Truly Sir Robert Peel is a most promising Premier for the country. We require a Uxed principle of action on the part of Government, and he puts us off with expe diency ! We demand energy, and he substitutes for it vacillation—certainty, and he bids us rest satisfied with suspense ! A Government carried on after this timid, tortuous fashion cannot possibly last six months. The following remarks are from the Plymouth Jour nal:—" The 'great national question is Commercial Re form, and on this Parliament must decide, and it will have an early opportunity of doing so. Ministers have nailed their colours to the mast of commercial freedom; they will ask again the opinion of the House on this all important question, and if that opinion should be in favour of restriction and injury, they will resign. No question equals in magnitude and in pressing importance at the present moment the alteration of the Corn-laws ; and we believe it impossible for any party or power in Government, however united and strong, to resist its amelioration. National necessity is a master power." The Bath Chronicle,' speaking on the state of the crops, says:—" The harvest accounts from the different districts of the kingdom are very conflicting. After a careful examination of the numerous reports which have come under our notice, we believe the truth to be that, though some small injury has here and there been suffered by the crops, we may jet look for an abundant harvest, if we should shortly be , blessed with fine weather. In our own neighbourhood, nothing else is required to ensure a good yield. A fortnight of sunshine would bring the wheat in our district to the sickle in excellent condition. If, how ever, the present unsatisfactory state of the atmosphere should prevail much longer, the gloomy apprehensions which, as we think, have been prematurely suffered to prevail, will, in a greater or less degree, be undoubtedly realised." The Nottingham Review remarks, in the subjoined terms, on the present distressed state of trade :—" With a declining, decaying, perishing commerce, and an arti ficial, high-priced scarcity of bread, all produced by the Corn-laws, the position of any Ministry coming into power to support that whiCh is the curse of the country, must be perilous in the extreme. The condition of Paisley, Glasgow, Manchester, and other large manu facturing towns, is lamentably afflicting. Failures, stoppages of mills, and other large establishments, are becoming every day occurrences ; and we are grieved to add, that Nottingham has its full share of distress." MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. At a meeting held by the Eastern Cou;ties Rail way, reported in The Sun of yesterday, the Chairman stated that the line would be opened all the way to Colchester, fifty-two miles from London, in the Septem ber of the ensuing year. The completion will be at an average exekmse of 34,0001. per mile, and the entire cost of the line 2,300,000/. .B.GLraCULTInit.P.L. In the Highlands. the whole of the last month was variable an,d ,unsettled ; it had only seven dry days at its beginning, and during the last three or four the wea ther has changed decidedly for the worse. The potato harvest, it is feared, will suffer. The clover harvest had commenced, but the crop is far from bulky, and the hay will be but alight crop in most places. Accounts from Belgium state that the bad weather for the last eight days has caused an extraordinary rise in the price of corn. 'the harvest is abundant, but with out fine weather will not ripen. During the last three weeks the accounts from the hop districts have been unfavourable, stating the growth to have been checked by the cold nights, while heavy rains had chilled the ground. The estimate of the duty has again receded to 145,0001. to 150,0001., and high prices are demanded. -- _ Accounts from the south of Ireland say, " The crops look uncommonly well and healthy—the potato crop would have failed greatly only for the rain. If the weather take up there is every prospect of an abundant and remunerating harvest." From the north letters say, " The wheat-crop is one-fourth over last year, and in the event of favourable weather, incompaiably superiur in quality,". ~ .y NAVIGATION. The navigability of the Euphrates is by every succeeding expedition discovered to be more and more practicable. The two iron steani boats, which about eighteen months ago left Liverpool, have traversed the stream 1,100 mites from its mouth, an achievement never before accomplished. The only obstacle, says Mr. Floyd, surgeon to the flotilla, was between Hit and Anna, where the navigation is obstructed by the remains of waterwheels anciently used for irrigation. Nearly 300 of these were met with in the short space of 136 miles, and one-third of them are in operation at the pre sent day. They consist of large parapet walls built into - the stream, directing the current of the river to the wheels, which are forty feet in diameter, and made of clumsy branches of trees, with 150 vessels slung round them to raise the water in. . The Court of Conservancy have actively taken up the existing nuisances along the river. Among others, recited as encroachments and obstructions to the navi gation necessary to be removed, are the piles driven in before the wharfs between London-bridge and the Tem ple ; the floating pier of barges on the N.E. side of Blackfriars-bridge ; a •similar pier of barges at South wark-bridge; and others of the same kind at Dyer's Hall Wharf, Old Shades Wharf; and Nicholson's Wharf, which project into the river. The Lord Mayor and Corpora tion intend to remove these nuisances immediately. A model of a very elegant pier proposed to be greeted at Blackfriars-bridge is to be seen at the Guildhall. LAW AND POLICE. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court on Thursday, Thomas Watts, late of the Crown Inn, Monmouth, and a special constable during the riot, was liberated on bail. He stated that his insulrency arose from neglecting his busi ness by looking after the Chartist rioters. Among the debtors to the estate the following were entered by. the insolvent :—" The Lords of her Majesty's Whitehall, London, 701., 1840—good. Money paid to the use of her Majesty in paying witnesses attending the trial at the Special Commission of the Chartist rioters at Mon mouth," and " Thomas Jones Phillips, Esq., of Mon mouth, 20/. —money paid in subpamaing witnesses at tending the trial of the rioters." At Lambeth-street Police-office on Thursday, Wil liam Bradford, aged 73 years, was committed fur trial on a charge of having caused the death of his wife. Two young men, of the names of Davis and Web ster, were committed on Thursday at Union Hall, to take their trial for robbing their employer, William Black well, hosier and linendraper, Camberwell, of money and goods to a considerable amount. Lewis, another shop man, implicated in the robbery, gave evidence against his accomplices, and was admitted to bail. fe— In the Rolls' Court, on Thursday, LordLangdale re fused the application of Mr. Kelly to transfer the trial of the issues, in the case of Fowler v. Wood and others, from Gloucester to the Bristol Assizes. The short hear ing of the case at Gloucester the other day, it appears, cost 3,0001. ; probably the hearing before the Master of the Rolls will cost 1,0001.. more. The lawyers are wise in their generation, and will take care to cut down Jemmy Wood's property to an ordinary size, before it is divided among his heirs. NAVAL AND MiLITA.7LY. The 72d Regiment of Highlanders, stationed at Windsor, was reviewed by Prince Albert in the Home Park on Thursday morning. ELECTIONEERING. A numerous theeting of the inhabitants of. St Martin's-in-the-Fields took place on Thursday evening, in Leicester-square, for the purpose . of forming a District RegiStration Society. A Committee was formed, and agreed to meet every Thursday, to give every informa tion to the electors relating to the registration. SPOSitTING. A gentleman in Strathspey writes—" There is abundance of grouse this season on the Earl of Seafield's moors. A covey of young was seen on the wing on the moors of .Lochindorb, near Grantown, so early as the 31st of May." Captain Bonham, one of our English sportsmen, at present in the Highlands, has brought with him a num ber of falcons or hawks, trained, jessed, and hooded fur hawking. The fishing in the River Ness is very prosperous. rahin. _cf - gl t caught in the stream nineteen salmon-fish during the week, ranging from Slbs. to 191b5., besides a noble one weighing 251bs. TIZEATILICAT. Mademoiselle Cerito took her benefit at the Opera on Thursday night, and the rivalry between herself and Mademoiselle Stephan, brought out her powers to per- fection. COURT-FASHXONAIMLES. The Archbishop of Dublin and his family arrived at the Hotel de Bellevue in Brussels on Wednesday. The Duke of Devonshire was on Monday at Liege, on his way to Germany. The Duke of Norfolk has been seeing company at Arundel Castle. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose return early next week to Belgra,ve-square, from Dumbartonshire. The Marquis of Normanby returned to tom' on Thursday., from Windsor Castle. IITISCELLAATEOUS. On Thursday, at two o'clock, Sir Isambard Brunel, with Mr. Hawes, 21.1 ) ,, Mr, Mason, one of the assistant engineers, and several gentlemen, walked through the Thames Tunnel, from Itotherhithe to Wapping. Mr. Page, the acting engineer, was in the shaft, and with the workmen received Sir Isambard with loud cheers ; who shortly addressed the men, thanking them for their courage and perseverance. This great undertaking may thus be said to be accomplished. In a few months it is expected one of the archways will be opened for foot passengers. The outside of the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral is now under repair, the lead-work having become much dilapidated by age and exposure to the heat of the sun. At a late meeting of the Lincoln Temperance So ciety, the question was raised whether the use of brandy in cookery, particularly in plum-puddings, would be an infringement of the rules. After a long and grave de bate it was resolved that brandy in puddings is eaten and not drunk, and that, therefore, it does not fall within the list of prohibited articles. This is an ingenious method of compromising an embarrassing question, so as to allow a man to swallow brandy without violating his sense of propriety. Vauxhall Gardens are at length advertised for sale, and the ingenious art of supplying upwards of five hundred supper-tables with one small, solitary Yorkshire ham, will, we suppose, be numliered shortly among the things that were. Had the illustrious Simpson lived to witness this destruction of the great theatre of his glory, he would no doubt have• given vent to his feelingS in one of the most pathetic addresses that ever set Syntax and orthography at defiance. A tradesman in the City lately employed a pro fessional gentleman to recover a debt of thirty shillings; he succeeded, - and the costs were seventy pounds! Who shall say, after this, that Law is not anumg the first and greatest of our national blessings ? Voltaire states, that he never was ruined but twice—once. when he gained a law-suit, and once, when he lost it. A Belfast paper states that the neighbourhood was visited last week by a water-spout. Fortunately, no lives were lost. This water-spout would have done admirably to fill . the kettles of the Belfast teetotallers. RUMOURS OF THE Day. The Earl of Haddington, who was Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under Sir E. Peel's short Administration, has embarrassed his friends by insisting on being re-appointed to that office, under the new Peel Government. Dr. Channing, whose powerful writings are so well known in Europe, is reported ti► have ceased to preach, ing t 3 increase of infirm health. Nevertheless, he has nations, instead of limited communities, for his congre gations. -7-• Mr. Croker, who converted Sir Francis Burdett to Toryism, has been 'invited by Sir Robert Peel to meet the Ilon. Baronet at Drayton Manor. Report says Ott the wily politician who effected this astonishing convey sion, also operated successfully upon another great Re- . former, about the year 1834, h u t there is no mention of any invitation being forwarded to that gentleman. STRIKE Or COLLIERS. —According to accounts from Dudley, a great number of the: 13ilston colliers had turned out for an advance of wages on Thursday even ing ; and serious apprehensions being entertained that a riot might be the result, as the Bilston colliers came in a body to compel the Dudley colliers to join them, a mes senger was sent to Birmingham for military aid. A troop of dragoons was in consequence immediately dis patched to Dudley, where considerable excitement pre vailed. MESMERISM, BY DE LAFONTAINE.--The exhibiti on o f Mesmeric phenom ena which was to take place yesterday,, at the Queen's Booms, have seen Hanover-square, was postponed to Wednesday next, in consequence of the alarming illness of the young gentleman who has hitherto subject.

Trieste, ditto Madrid Cadiz Bilboa Barcelona Seville SLAVE TRADE IN itRAZIL. The Delight packet brings advices from Rio de J aneiro of the 16th June. The barefaced effrontery with w hic h the slave trade had recently been prosecuted off the coast of Brazil, in direct contravention of existii,g treaties, had induced the Government at Rio de ll:f. to take steps for checking the growing evil, and acco ingly they dispatched a sloop of war to cruise off the p ort of ilho Grande. The commander, Lieutenant ReYs, upon going ashore, was seized by the slave trade rs, sent to prison on a charge of piracy , and , under the iniquitous and shameful pretext of j ustice, removed in irons, like a felon, from gaol_ to gaol, being still in confinement at the date of our accounts. The proceeding did not end here, however, for the Bri tish brig of war Clio, on the 12th of May last, having cast t e nanornthnsoufecomessfuploas,ttebmypptuttotiicigaptouurteoavosalannveerdobnotahtse wheret op rs t u h e e her,sla slaves she e was re run ail l a t i r e o d u , n t d h e on B r t i h ti e s h ß h u a m v i a n g be island, en prevented from getting the vessel off, by the firing of two or three bodies of men who came to the assistance of the slaver's crew. This happened, as we have said, on . the 12th, and on the 29th the Clio sent a boat on shore with the English pennant flying, and whi c h landed two o fficers and 13 sailors. Under the pretence of being un provided with passports they were arrested and confined for several days, although known to belOng to the brig of war cruising off the river; such was the influence of the atrocious slave traffickers in this part of the Bra zilian territory. It is stated that Lieutenant Reys was not likely to be liberated for some time, though his treatment was rather better. The Portuguese slave holders show a very determined front in this part of the world, and have succeeded, it seems, in exciting a bad feeling against the English ; for we are informed that the people are outrageous against the British navy, and that, besides several very unbecoming allusions made to our Government by both the leading parties in the Le gislature, a circular had been issued by the Mi'mister of Foreign Affairs, ordering all foreigners to be repelled by f;irce that might land armed on any part. of tl:e coat'. The news front Rio Grande is far from favourable. Joas Paulo, the ComMander-in-Chief named by the An drada .Ministry, a veritable Don Furioso Bombasto, who, about a year ago, threatened to destroy the whole British fleet from the fort at the entrance of the port, was, with all his army, about 7,000 men, in the worst possible plight at Pamirotin, without a single horse, and sur rounded by a host of rebels well mounted. In the last reports from him, via Monte Video, for the direct inter course with the coast was interrupted, he complained Pi tifully of the cold weather and rain, and of the dysenierf tunongst his army, owing to the entire want of !lost' of any kind, as also of sufficient clothing.
