In making a few remarks yesterday on the schism which prevails amongst the Liberals as to the Extension of the Franchise, we wished to bring the fact clearly before our friends, with a view to their providing a remedy. We shall never get over the schism by shutting our eyes to its existence. If the Liberal party is to be built up, some clearly-defined principles of ac tion, some common objects of pursuit, must be agreed to. Compromises of opinion must take place, and however cogent may be the argu ments by which the Editors of the aristocratic Whig Journals can support the diminution of the suffrage, they must keep them fir their own private circle, and not ruin their party by de nouncing in its name the object which is dearest to the heart of the unenfranchised. It will not do for these gentlemen to tell us that they are full of a burning zeal for the sys tem of restriction, and that they cannot restrain the impulses of their own genius. It will not do for them to say that they must preach their gospel of monopoly or die. On other subjects they can close their hands firmly enough, and will not, unless it suits the purpose of the party, allow the smallest portion of the truths they have locked up to escape. They must exercise the sam e restraint as to the suffrage; and how ever ardent local and other rivalries may have made them in disseminating their opinions, they must, as organs of the Whigs, cease to advocate a more limited constituency. w e agree with the Non-Conformist, " that Principles will henceforth engage the public gc Government by party," it says, " is to an end." Names and indi v id ua l s f as t coming will no longer engross the public attention, but systenis. What is one unit, thou g h it b e ca l led WELLIN GTON or PEEL, to the 130,000,000 o f similar units who now dwell within the wide limits of our empire ? What can there possibly be in the thoughts of that one man, engaged in his own narrow and selfish pursuits, and ignorant of the diversified pursuits of the great multitude, that he should be a rule for all others, and that they should wait his guidance and his bidding? The command, or the wish of Lord J. RUSSELL, no more than the command or the wish of Sir R. PEEL, can henceforth be the law of his party. One advantage of the new position of the Libe rals is, that they cannot now be bushed into quietness by the whisper, " You will endanger the Government." Principles alone can hence forth be the basis on which the T iberal party is to be founded, and they must be clear, defined, and homogeneous. Two systems now appeal to mankind for pre ference. They stand face to face, and plead fbr the honour of moulding, and governing society. On•the one hand is the supremacy of one or a few; orfhe other, the equality of all, save and eNcept the differences amongst individuals not involving inferiority, which are to be found amongst all the children of men. No two are alike. On the one hand is distrust, generated by fear; on the other, mutual confidence, grow ing from mutual service. On the one hand, terror alone is relied on to keep slaves obedient ; on the other, obedience, or rather concord, is dictated by manifold personal advantages. On the one hand there is nothin g but restrictions imposed by the few on the many, but equally foixious to all; restrictions on locomotion, re rrictions on buying and selling, restr i ct i ons on speaking, writing, and printing, all of which are amazingly costly to society to maintain, employing THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ll, 1841. its brightest talents, and wasting its most prolific island.

Such being, in rude outline, the true system, and the Tories being the avowed upholders and defenders of the system of distrust and terror, the Whigs, if they mean really to be in opposition, must embrace the other system. They must adopt, in spirit and in truth, that principle they have so long toasted, " the sovereignty of the people ;" they must trust the multitude ; they must confide in human nature ; they must recog nise a regulating power in society independently of the Legislature ; and they must set out on the plan of gradually substituting, as circumstances will allow, the system of nature and of freedom for the system of Toryism and of slavery. That should be the ultimate aim of the Liberal party, and the means by which they should attempt to reach it are what should now engage their attention. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Wednesday. The Moniteur Pa risien of that date contradicts the report that the negotiations between the French and Bel. gian Commissioners, relative to the eornmercia treaty, had been broken off. They held a meet ing on Wednesday on the subject, and the ab sence of one of the negotiators bad for its object to procure certain documents in the archives of Belgium, judged necessary for settling some dis- puted points of detail. A Royal ordinance, published in the Moni teur, authorises the importation of sheet iron and iron plates into France, duty free, if for re exportation within a period of two months. They are to be stamped by the Custom-house officers in the harbours open for the transit of prohibited goods. Warlike stores of any kind are not in cluded in the ordinance, and are, therefore, strictly prohibited. The movements of the French fleet are, as we suspected from the first, universally supposed in Paris to have reference to the quarrel between the Porte and its vassal the Bey of TUNIS. England supports the SULTAN, and it seems that among M. THIER'S troublesome legacies to the present Cabinet is an engagement to maintain the power of the BEY. The French and Eng- lish Governments were they to set about it pro perly, might very easily settle this dispute by negotiation. If the BEY be not able to pay the Tribute demanded by the Porte it is better to give him time to make it up by instalments than to bombard his capital, and perhaps provoke a collision between the fleets of two great nations who have no right to make themselves principals iu questions that so little concern them. Letters from Berlin of the 31st ult., state that the dispute between the King of' PRussiA and the POPE has been amicably settled. The KING and the Sovereign Pontiff, tired of negociating, had made mutual concessions, which satisfied the sacred College and' the Berlin Cabinet. What is to be done with the Archbishop of Cologne and the Bishop of Posen is not stated. Within the last fortnight more than ten of the shops in the Palais Royal, and the celebrated Cafe du Perigord, have been sold up under decrees of Court, and thci e are now upwards of twenty of these establishments to be let —a state of things seldom witnessed in this region. A petition to the Minister of War has been sent up by the merchants and ship-owners of Marseilles, praying that a more extensive protection may be given to French vessels trading to and from Algeria. At present fo reign vessels only pay a duty of 2f. per ten more than French vessels, and this difference, the petitioners state, is too low to afford their interests sufficient encourage ment. They demand that an ordonnance of 1835 may be revived, prohibiting trade between Algeria and France to all foreign ships. The Sentinclle of Bayonne mentions the arrival of M. Mendizabal in that town from Madrid. " The returns of the commerce of the Philippine Islands," says the Madrid Gazette, " show that the im ports during 1840 amounted to 1,746,782 piastres, and the exports to 4,489,144p5. During the year 186 vessels entered, and 184 cleared. Notwithstanding the block ade of the coasts of China there hare been 34 arrivals and 39 departures to and from that country. The ac counts of the depot at Manilla make the entries amount to 3,421,483 piastres. and exports to 9,907,664 piastres. The salubrity of these islands, and their proximity to the markets of Japan, China, the In dies, and New Holland, render it . highly . probable that this depot will become much more extensive." The Empress of Russia, says a letter from Berlin, has sent a Russian painter to take views of the most favourite spots of Frederick the Great in the Prussian dominions. 'The Univers contradicts the statement which it gave yesterday of the death of Minh-Menh, whom it styles " tyrant" of Cochin China. A duel, originating in a newspaper dispute, took place in the forest of St. Germain the day before yesterday, between M. Henri Heine, the German political writer, and M. Strauss, one of his compatriots. M. Heine re ceived a contusion on the hip from the ball of his adver sary's pistol, and the affair ended. The town of Louviers, in Normandy, was on the 4th instant visited by a storm of extraordinary violence. Towards three in the afternoon, in the midst of a heavy fall of hail and loud claps of thunder, a whirlwind passed over the town, spreading ruin and desolation. Many of the gardens and public walks were devastated, and several large trees were torn up by the roots. Some of the manufactOries received considerable da mage. In one belonging to M. Gastinne, the south side was blown down, and the roof carried away to a distance of 200 feet, where it fell on a neighbouring house, doing great damage, and seriously Injuring a female. Three workmen who had taken shelter were much hurt by its falling on them ; and it is said in the letter from Louviers, from which this account is taken, that one of them had died of his wounds. The roof of the fish-market was blown off, and the door of the church being open the wind destroyed a beautiful painted window. Several chimnies were thrown down, and all the glass in the windows of the factories in the line of the whirlwind were broken. On the 23d ult. a young man, well dressed, and fol lowed by a dog, arrived at Chapelle Encherie, in that department, announcing himself to be a Controller. On the following day he visited all the houses, tak ing with him a register-book, and set to work, not precisely to take the census, but to steal all he could conveniently pocket. Numerous articles were miss ing, but no one ventured to suspect a King's officer, as they believed him to be. On the sth instant he made his appearance at Renay, another small place, pretending to be a land-surveyor, sent by Government for a special purpose. Here, by contriving to send away on different errands the people of the public-house in which he took up his abode, he made the coast clear, and, while alone, broke open a secretary, and possessing himself of 200 f. and a silver watch, decamped before any one returned. The gendarmes are in pursuit of him." PARIS SEPT- B.—The Journal de Chablis says ; " There is a report in the town that orders have been received by the Staff to break up the corps at Chalons by the 23d of this month. Thus all the sums expended for the removal of six batteries for their stations, which is always attended with expense, will have been saved, if this news is true, only to have the troops in camp for. six weeks. " We hear that two merchants of Leipzic have made a contract with the Russian Government, by which they have engaged to make an iron railway from St. P e t ers -, burg to rocco. The Russian Government wished at first to make a contract with some of its own subjects ; but it found their demands so high, that it judged it more advantageous to apply to foreigners."—La Gazette de France. PARIS, SEPT 7.—A letter from Leghorn of the 25th August says : " The Sardinian steamer Dante, arriving from Lar gone, has brought us the agreeable news of the disco very of the wrecked packet the Phcenix, near Catona; but it announces, at the same time, that the English brigantine sent to the spot is not sufficiently powerful to raise the Phcenix from the mud in which it is embedded. In order to effect this operation, the Directors are under the necessity of sending large vessels, to raise the Phce nix frordthe bottom of the sea." The King and Queen of the Belgians, who are still at Bt. Cloud, are to return to Belgium next week. Amongst them, and one of the foremost, if not the very foremost, as strictly coincident with the main article of the Liberal creed—confidence in man—confidence in the multitude—stands the ex tension of the suffrage. The present moment may not be propitious to stir up agitation in order to obtain that, but it must at once be recognized as an essential principle in order to produce any effectual co-operation. If the abolition of mo nopoly in trade be, as we assert, one of its prin ciples, and that one which necessity now recom mends and enforces, the abolition of a monopoly of law-making must be another. The unenfranchised are now excluded from the Constitution. They are serfs in their native land. They can take no part in public proceedings which has not for its object to obtain their own liberty, which is, and ought to be, a passion for them ; and the Liberal party cannot hope for their support unless it adopt an extension of the suffrage as a chief article of its political creed, if not the chief and immediate object of its greatest exertions. The dispute is really between the aristocracy and the democracy, and if the Whigs will not go with the domocracy, they can no longer be the leaders of any part of the nation. In the speech which Mr. THOMPSON made on Thursday evening, at the formation of the Young Mens' Anti-Bread Tax Society, the following passage occurs : " Out of more than 200 letters sent me in conseqnence of my connection with a great meeting held elsewhere— a meeting of the ministers of religion of all denomina tions, who have unanimously pledged themselves to co operate with pu—one of the last letters out of the 200 was from a clergyman in Lancashire, who informed me I that just before he had penned the letter he had visited the hovel of a wretched family—that he saw there stretched upon the ground three human beings--a grand mother dead, whom they could not bury for want of the means ' • her daughter, who had been three days confi ne d, but without nourishment ; and the infant to whom she had given birth starving by her side. Had not he stepped in the way they would all have perished from want. He told me that from his own observation he could attest the fact that that portion of our species that we would wish to hold most holy, most chaste, and most spotless, were fast abandoning themselves to the ways of vice, and giving themselves up as the victims of profligacy for a morsel of bread."—(Sensation.) We earnestly wish that we could command the attention of .the, law-makers to these few words. They describe people dying of hunger, and women proStitutin'g themselves for bread. Supposing that idleness, dissoluteness, and even depravity, may have led to this con summation of misery, by what right do the Dukes of BUCKINGHAM and RICHMOND, by stopping the supply of food, aggravate these regretted characteristics of human nature, and sink the weak and the wicked into deeper want and deeper woe ? Right!—they have no right. They have the power, because the unthinking people, who, by obeying the starvation laws, are almost as wicked as the law makers, bestow it on them ; but their whole conduct, so far as the Corn-law is concerned, is a violation of all right. At length, however, that is now generally described as immoral and irreligious. The Corn-law is taken up as a religious and mo ral question; and the discussions on it are intro ducing new and more healthy principles into legislation. We are afraid that counterparts to Mr. THOMP SON'S pictures must have been presented to all those who come into contact with the lower classes, The unhappy circumstance of women prosti tuting themselves for bread is probably of fre quent occurrence. The streets of London at night, which we are compelled to traverse, abound with outcasts and objects piteously de manding charity. But what can the great Dukes; who never thread the streets on foot at night, and perhaps are never out of their own domains, or their own carriages, or their splendid drawing-room—what can they know of the poor multitude whom they reck- lessly doom to short allowance of food—that grea t calamity of a shipwrecked crew — or to absolute starvation ? They make laws for the multitude, but they know as little of them as of the Siberians. Shame! triple shame ! on the heartless sybarites, who, to 101 l a little more at their ease, inflict on women the dreadful cala mity of prostitution to get bread to eat. Advices from Constantinople of the 18th ult. bring the important intelligence that the Porte had directed the siege of Candia to be rased. His Highness the SULTAN had also granted a general amnesty to all the insurgents of that A letter from Boulogne states, that of the 16 persons who wergg.vested for creating a disturbance at the fetes. on the inauguration of the Statue of Napoleon, three have been sentenced to four months' imprisonment, seve ral others three months' imprisonment and a fine, and three o i. , ....;-• uitted.—Le Commerce. r. 0 i -* E—PARis, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 8. f Irat Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

Madrid letters and papers, of the Ist instant, state that the anniversary of the Revolution was celebrated in that capital with considerable en thusiasm. The REGENT, hi the uniform of a General of Division, walked in solemn proces sion to the cathedral church of San Isidro, where high mass was celebrated in presence of all the great Officers of State. The REGENT was cheered by tilt people, who seem to have lost none of their attachment to his person, or confidence in his administration. In the even- ing the city was generally illuminated ; and from the French papers we learn that simi lar demonstrations took place at Seville, Ma.. laga, Barcelona, and other of the principal cities. in Spain. On the same day a de cree of the REGENT, in the name of Queen ISABELLA. appeared in the Madrid Gazette, granting an amnesty, and leave to return to Spain, to all Carlist refugees under the rank of Colonel, who are willing to take the oaths of allegiance to the QUEEN and Constitution. This Decree manifests the moderation and the strength of the Government. ESPARTERO, who cannot be accused of ever acting with precipitancy, has not ventured upon this measure without feeling confident that he had no longer anything to fear from the machinations of the Carlists. The act is one of great mercy towards an im mense number of misguided men, who are now suffering the greatest privations in France. Not that we agree in opinion with CABRERA that France has been wanting in proper sympathy for the Carlist refugees. Considering the ina bility of her own people to bear the burthen of supporting so many Polish and Spanish refugees, the provision made for them by the Chambers indicated no want of a hospitable generosity. Nor are the complaints of captives to be always literally interpreted. The loss of liberty is an evil with which the mind naturally associates so many others that the protest of the indignant and self-convinced patriot is often a mere outpouring of the peevishness of the prisoner. Don AUGUSTIN ARGUELLES, the guardian of the Royal infants, continues his patriotic reforms in the administration of the income of the Royal domains. His last act has been to subscribe in the young QUEEN'S name, for shares in the new loans for making good roads between Madrid and the cities of Corunna and Valencia. This is one of the best steps he could take, to make the QUEEN a national benefactor, and to extend her popularity among all classes of her subjects. The income of the Royal do mains is exceedingly great, but from the death of FERDINAND, when its Administration was entrusted to Queen CHRISTINA, to the abandon ment of the Regency by her MAJESTY, not a single real of it ever went into the Royal Trea sury, or was expended in defraying the expenses of the Palace. Queen CHRISTINA, whose ava rice is insatiable, conveyed to Naples all that remained of it over and above what she be stowed upon her minion MUNOZ and his family. She even took bribes from the contractors for the army, received a large sum for her share in the quicksilver contract, and while the troops, fight ing for the Throne of her Royal daughter, were marching through frost and snow without shoes, without pay, and upon half rations, CHRISTINA, like a vampire, was sucking the life-blood of the kingdom to amass riches for the gratification of her individual passions. Though she had given a Constitution to Spain, and neither alarmed the Cortes nor the people by a retrograde policy, yet so unpopular had her private conduct ren dered her among all classes that her abandon ment of the Regency - did not cause half the com motion that the expulsion of an Alcalde would have occasioned. The REGENT has ordered the new tariff to come into operation on the Ist of November next. It does not include cotton and corn, which are likely to be the subjects of future negotia tions. Corn is cheap and abundant in Spain, but dear and scarce in Portugal; yet the Portu guese Government will not admit a bushel of corn, nor will Spain suffer the importation of a yard of the cottons which fill the warehouses of Portugal. Spain ruins the • corn growers to pro tect manufactures which can never become the staple of the kingdom, and Portugal, like Eng land, starves every class to keep a monopyly in the hands of the corn-growers. And this the fools call protecting native industry. A letter from St. Sebastian of the 4th inst., states that Queen CHRISTINA has for the present relinquished her intention of making Bayonne her residence, where she would be more conve niently situated for carrying on intrigues in Spain. Bayonne is hardly suited for the residence of her MAJESTY.

REVEREND Sin, —Having learned, during my incar ceration in York Castle, that Mr. O'Connell declined your challenge to discuss the merits of the Repeal of the Union, and fearing that more importance than was fair has been attached to his refusal, and knowing that a handle has been made of it to the prejudice of the ques tion, and being in my heart a sincere advocate of the mea sure, I do hereby invite you to a free discussion on the subject at Belfast, or at any other place which may better suit your taste or convenience. Your acknowledged high character leads me to believe that your sole object in challenging Mr. O'Connell was prompted by a desire to arrive at just conclusions after fair argument.. In order to accomplish so desirable a purpose, I have held. myself disengaged for the first week of October, the four first days of which I submit to your judgment as the time for entertaining the subject. All arrangements shall be left to you, as to the hour ofmeeting the order of speaking, and the time for adjournment. imerely require free ad mission, the doors to be open one hour previous to the Chair being taken, the discussion to'take place in the largest room that can be procured, that you appoint one Chairman, I another, and these two gentlemen select an umpire, to whose judgment and final decision all dis puted points shall be referred.' The following proposi tion to be submitted, of which I undertake to prove the affirmative—" That the Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland would, above any other measure, tend to increase the wealth and develope the hitherto neg,lected resources of the latter country ; that to a native Legislature alone can the Irish people look with certainty for domestic peace, and with confidence for national aggrandizement and social improvement. In it we would recognise the only just and certain means of checking absenteeism, of improving morals, of advancing agriculture, of dispensing education, of protCcting trade, and of perpetuating a real bond of connection with our English neighb ours. " I have "the honour, R e verend Sir, to remain, Your obedient, humble servant, FEARGUS :O'CONNOR. London, September, 11, 1841. THE DUTY ON WHEAT. PRICE. DUTY. 40s. 465. Bd. ..... . . 60s. 265.

FOREIGN._ The Porte has rased the bloCkade of Candia, and granted a complete amnesty to the insurgents of that island. This is gratifyins intelligence. The Emir Besehir, Prince of Lebanon, and the Pa triarchs of the Maronite Christians, and of Jerusalem, have all received from the Sultan the splendid diamond decoration of the Turkish Order of Merit, Nifchan Mi llar. These are so many distinguished marks of the Sul tan's regard for his Christian subjects in Syria. The Moniteur of Wednesday publishes a Royal Ordi nance authorising the free introduction into France, if for re-exportation within two months, of foreign sheet iron, and other works in iron except military stores in tended to be galvanized in France. M. de Champigny, the companion in arms of INL La fayette in the war of the American 'Revolution, lately died at the advanced age of upwards of a' century. The anniversary of the Constitution was celebrated in Spain on the Ist instant. Great rejoicings were made at Madrid, where Espartero was received with acclamations by the people. Portugal is still in a disturbed state. Upwards,of 300 brigands are over-running the Algarves, robbing and plundering the inhabitants. The internal weakness, dis played by the Portuguese Government in thus alloWing a handful of wretches to spread dismay through 'the country, is most deplorable. And yet these men affect to bully England ! The King of Prussia and the Pope have settled their differences at last. Well, " better late than never," as the old proverb has it. PUBLIC OPINION. The following frothy passage isfrom the Morning Herald :—" The genius of Sir Robert Peel's Adminis tration will consist in manfully adhering to the great landmarks of the English constitution, and in repudiat ing whatever is contrary to its. spirit and adverse to its safety and prosperity. We have tried the force of con cessions, and it is now time to try the steadiness of firm and consistent principles. Those principles are engraved on the hearts of Englishmen—they have outlived all the trials and tamperings of the, Whigs and Radicals — they have survived all the encouragements of Popery,' and the diseonragements of Protestantism—whether at home or abroad. It is time they should now again be received into public favour, and Sir Robert and the 'Duke are not the . then who Will discourage them either at Court or in our colonies—at the heart or at the extremities of our comprehensive dominions." — The real meaning of all this verbiage is, that the new Ministry will stick as closely as it possibly can, to its favourite old creed of No Change. It will try " the steadiness of firm and consistent principles "—to quote our Contemporary's discreet phraseology—that is to say, it will take a To 7 view of things, until it finds that Toryisr will avail it no longer ; when, sooner than risk the loss of place, it will turn round and make a show of Liberalism, just as Doctor Phillpotts did, on the question of Catholic Emancipation. The chronicle, alluding to the rumour of Sir Robert Peel declining to have anything to do with the Marquis of Londonderry, says :—" It is no defence of this shab by treatment that Sir Robert Peel lifts his eyebrows and asks, " what could-we do with him ?" There was cer tainly a difficulty in the way, but it was not insurmount able. There is an old proverb which says that certain people may not be choosers ; and perhaps the Noble Lord was too fastidious. But considering the school in which he was brought up, and the purposes for which he has been taught that diplomatic and other such ap pointments should be conferred, we can hardly wonder that the Marquis of Londonderry should have limited his acceptance to either Paris or St. Petersburg. We can readily understand why Sir Robert Peel should not wish to send the Marquis of Londonderry to Paris. But St. Petersburg—why not send him there ? Our relations with the Emperor are just now upon such a footing that it would really require a man of some capacity to do mischief there." —We really think the Noble Marquis a very ill-used man. He is quite as intelligent, and at least twice as honest, as two-thirds of the Peel Ministry. His versatility of talent, too, is surprising. He is a capital performer in private theatricals ; is the most original speaker of the day ; and has no superior in a certain impenetrable as surance of manner highly necessary to a party-man. If he was thought good enough for Sir Robert Peel's last Government, he is quite good enough ctn. the present ; and as for the Right Hon. Baronet fearing that the Ministerial vessel will be wrecked with such a Jonah on board ; why, the ship is full of Jonahs already ! The truth is, Lord Stanley—as in the former instance—has objected to the Noble Marquis's appointment, and Sir Robert Peel, notwithstanding his boast of independence, has been compelled to give way. Poor Lord London derry ! Instead of playing his favourite ,part of " Noodle"—vide Tont Thumb—in public, he must now be content to play it in private. The Times thus sneers at the popular excitement which occasioned the passing of the Reform Bill : " The three glorious days' of July had broken down more important barriers than those 'of the Place des Vic toires or of the Rue Richelieu. The English mind ran wild, and nothing was excessive enough to satisfy its vague longings. The Whigs administered to the frenzy, and assisted in the brewing 'of a storm which they were vain enough to fancy they could guide. For a while they were ablelo turn its fury upon the Tories. They sustained the popular prejudice against their opponents, by continuing to fasten on the Conservative Statesmen of our own time every charge that was applicable to the Tories of the preceding generation; and the leader of Op position was painted by the Ministerial underlings as a hungry wolf, howling at the door, and eager to lift the latch of office, for the destruction of the people."-- The barefaced effrontery—to say nothing of the gross inconsistency—of this passage is absolutely without pa rallel! Who was the first to administer to the general excitement of 1830, which is here denounced ,as " frenzy ?" The Times! Who assisted the English mind to run wild," by uplifting the oriflamme . of Reform, and calling on the people to rally under it? The Times! Who proposed swamping the House of Lords, and eject ing the Bishops, and day by day sneered at both as a squad of Incorrigibles ? Still the Times! During the whole stormy period that intervened between the 'intro duction of the Reform Bill and its final triumph, thiS apostate journal made a boast of being in the van of the battle. No abuse was too violent—no insinuations too malignant—no menaces too ferocious—for the Times of that day to hesitate to pour out upon the Tories. And yet these same Tories are now the objects of its idolatry! Further comment is superfluous. The Morning Advertiser says—" We have already ad verted to the introduction of the Duke of Buckingham into the new - Cabinet, as a circumstance which precludes all hope of anything being done by that Cabinet in the way of a substantial revision of the Corn-laws. .We wish that this were the only matter of evil augury involved in the appointment of the Noblo Duke. He is one of the most rabid of the ultra-Tory school ; a man who has proved himself, ever since his entrance on the stage of public life, one of the most bitter and unrelenting foes to civil and religious liberty that ever sat in either House of Parliament."—The appointment of this man at once stamps the character of the new Ministry. o far as he can influence it, it will be, not only a stand-still Cabinet, but a retrograding one; for not a single really useful mea-, sure of Reform has been projected for the last twelve years, but has met with the Duke of Buckingham's most decided opposition. He was the bitterest enemy of Catholic Emancipation, and the Reform Bill found in him an equally envenomed foe. Fortunately, however, his Grace's capacity for mischief is in some degree neu tralized by his very limited understanding. Though a great Duke, he is a very small statesman. The Tory Journals are quite indignant with Mr. Byng, for his late assertion at the Middlesex dinner, that he now finds himself living under an aristocracy. The Post, in particular, remarks :—" It is a common thing at an advanced period in life to remember what has happened many years before, but to forget completely the events • of yesterday. This must, we suppose, ac count for Mr. I3yno.'s - forgetfulness that he lives under a Government which the House of Commons substantially determines, and that, within a few weeks, the people at large—not the aristocracy--were called upon to elect a House of Communs ; that they did elect a House ; and that that House, by its vote, altered the Government to what it is. Of all the idle twaddle that ever was uttered, the assertion that, in the present state of the theory and practice of the Constitution, the Government is an aris tocracy, is the most idle.' —Mr. Byng is quite The present Government is an aristocratic one ; syin pathizing exclusively with aristocrats ; sworn to legis late in an aristocratic spirit ; and brought into office by aristocratic influence. In fact, it is the last desperate effort of the aristocracy to repel—what it calls—the dangerous inroads of the democracy. • But it will fail, for it is impossible—as Mrs. Partington found to her cost—to, drive back the waves of the Atlantic with a mop! We quote the following remarks from the Plymouth Journal :—" Misery is deaf to sophistry, and an intelli 7 gent people cannot be trifled with. The Protective sys tem must be relaxed. It is false in principle, and inju rious in tendency. It is curious to see with what tenacity and affection Conservatives adhere to this system. The very word is a charm. It seems to awaken all the pa triotism of their nature, • and they talk of it as if every element of our prosperity was to be protected and en• joyed by it." The Dublin Pilot says :—" The wise and far-seeing Liberals need not be uneasy that the cautious system of moderation and forbearance chalked out by the Prime Minister, will be carried out—even long enough to de lude, to paralyze and enfeeble the union of the organized mind of Ireland. Every act since his accession to power has been a falsification of the moderate principles upon which it was taken. Measure's are indicated by the choice of men,—and the men Peel has chosen com pletely decide the character of the measures." The Nonconformist, speaking of the present state of the; country, says—" The system of • forbearance and compromise is well nigh at an end. Toryism, or, in other words, Government carried on for the advantage of the few rather than the many, cannot now steal down upon us under Liberal colours. We can be deluded no longer by a specious pretence. As far as the nation is concerned, the men composing the present Cabinet are nothing—the p r i nc ipl es they embody constitute the all in all of their importance. These principles will henceforth engage the sole attention of the public mind, and of neces sity those which stand in contrast with them will be more seriously studied and more highly prized. Government by party is fast coming to an end. It has had its day. It has done its work. On the whole, it has greatly ad iranced the liberties of the people. But it is ill • adapted to the wants of the present times. It has reached old age, and is ready to expire. With no small difficulty the nation is struggling to cast its old skin —to emerge from the trammels of party to the freedom of principles. The strength of the Conservative Government will greatly facilitate the change ; and, whenever the conflict be comes one of undisguised principles, the end will not be far off." The Dublin Evening Mail, after objecting to the ap pointment of Lord Eliot, and stating in pretty broad terms that he is an apostate, goes on to remark:— We have every disposition to give Lord Eliot, and the Administration of which he forms a part, our fullest confidence—so far as we shall be justified by their actions. With respect to him in particular, we shall make every just allowance for his position, and credit him for a desire to repair his fault—until the contrary shall have been distinctly manifested. By-bones shall be by-gorses; and we do assure his Lordship and all those friends to whom our strictures may have given pain, that beyond the few words in which we indicated our original distrust, neither he nor they should have heard from us on the subject, had it not been for the injudicious conduct of those advocates, whose conversion is perhaps too violent to be very rational or quite sincere." MONEY- TE..IU3 Z-C 01YENZERCE. By an old English statute, none of the King's subjects may trade to or with a nation of infidels without the King's leave, because of the danger of relinquishing Christianity, and Sir Edward Coke said he had seen a licence from one of our Kings, licensing him to trade With infidels, on special trust that he would not decline from his religion. The commerce returns of the Philippine Islands— likely from their situation to become the great depot for the markets of Japan, China, the Indies, and New 1-lolland—show the imports for 18 40 to have been 1,746,782 piastres, and the exports 4,489,144 piastres. During the year 186 vessels entered, and 184 cleared. COIVIATERCIAL REPO 32,M. On Thursday a meeting of the inhabitants of West Pan cras was held in Gower-street, for the purpose of form ing an Anti-Corn-law Association for the district. Dif ferent resolutions were proposed for the formation of the Society, to frame petitions, addresses, &c., for the active repeal of the Corn-laws, which were unanimously carried. A numerous and respectable meeting took place at Finsbury Chapel, South-place ; on Thursday evening, for the purpose of forming a Metropolitan Young Mens' Anti monopoly Association. Resolutions were passed, con firmatory of the above intention, and a Committee ap pointed to conduct the hugnesS of the Association. SPORTING. . , . . 11fr. Logan, of Liverpool, shot on the 19th- of August last, a, fine , plump. woodcock on the Larriston estate. Woodcocks are never - found in. Britain so early, and this fact tends to confirm the belief of some ; naturalists that these birds occasionally breed in Britain. „In,the ,vicinity of Bristol, and in, the Northern Conn ties,sportmen complain of the small size of the partridges this season, as well as their wildness and scarcity. An extraordinary running feat was performed last Wednesday at Kendal, by a husbandman named Walker, who in the short space of four minutes and two seconds ran a mile down a steep declivity. NAVAL AND PITILXTADY. The great Liverpool steamer arrived on the night of Sept. 7, at Falmouth, from Alexandria, Malta, and Gibraltar, having thirty-six passengers, and forty-one packages of letters, thirty-one of them from India. • The Belle Youle frigate, Captain the Prince de Join ville, has touched at Newfoundland, whence she steers for the Canadian Coast and New York, returning to France by Lisbon. At Woolwich the Syren is rapidly fitting for sea. A body of marines have just joined the Formidable at Sheer ness, of which Sir T. Troubridge is commander. The singularly constructed Sardinian vessel, Aurora, is ex pected to sail to-day, her guns and stores being all shipped. LAW AND POLICE. Mr. Lascelles, a master butcher, residing at Grosve nor-row, Pimlico, appeared at Queen-square to complain of having toll exacted from him, his residence being on one side of the turnpike, while his stables were on the other. According to the General Turnpike Act, it ap peared, among other exemptions, that any person not tra velling more than 100 yards upon a turnpike-trust, was permitted to pass free ; but the Counsel for defence of the toll shewed that there was a special act for this turn pike, which over-ruled the Acts adduced. EMECTIONEEIZING. Alderman Thompson is said to be opposed by Mr. Niatthias Wolverly Attwood for Sunderland. At the Reform dinner at Dewsbury on Thursday last, a high panegyric was bestowed upon the public and pri vate character of Lord Morpeth, and also on Lord Mil ton. Above 300 Reformers were present. Mr. Warburton, according to the Conservative prints, is to have a competitor for the representation of Brid port in the person of ➢lr. BaiHie Cochrane. Lord Leveson, son of the Earl of Granville, the .late Ambassador at Paris, has appeared in the Whig inte rest for the city of Lichfield, on the retirement of Sir George Anson. COURT—FASHIONABLE. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarenee left town on Thursday for Leamington. The Kin.. ' and Queen of the Belgians are shortly ex pected at Ostend. Lord and Lady Rolle have returned to Bicton Lodge, Devonshire. The Duke of Norfolk left town on Saturday for Farn ham Hall, Suffolk. The Earl of Coventry has left Brighton for the Con tinent. _ _ Viscount Beresford continues slowly to improve in health. _ Lord and Lady Lyndhurst returned yesterday to their villa at Kingston. Colonel Dawson Darner is appointed to the office of Comptroller of her Majesty's Household. MIS CELLAZJEOUS. A shocking murder was committed at Box on Sunday last, by Isaac Smith, a labourer, on Ann Little, a woman of depraved character with whom he cohabited. The circumstances are of a most aggravated nature, and the Jury returned a verdict of wilful murder, committing the prisoner Smith to'Devizes Gaol. A miniature statue of Sir Robert Peel, eighteen inches in height, has just been executed by Signor Franconi, of Pauton-square, Coventry-street.—As the Right Hon. Baronet is a miniature statesman, and of the smallest di-•• mensions ' this miniature statue of him is very appropriate. Vauxhall Gardens were sold on Thursday to a gentleman named Fowler, for 20,2001. What would the illustrious Simpson have said to such a profanation of " the Royal property ?" By the bye, we are not without a suspicion that this great man is still alive, for we sometimes trace his remarkable powers of verbiage and metaphor in the leading articles of more than one Tory journal. We understand that a certain Duke, who is a Member of the present Cabinet, and a staunch advocate of the Corn-laws, while attending Divine service on Sunday last, and listening to that touching supplication in the Lord's Prayer, " Give us this day our daily bread," was , heard to mutter in a very audible tone, " I'll see you d—d first !" The Advertiser observes t—" It is not altogether un worthy of remark that the month of November has twice• witnessed a change of Ministry. In November, 1830, a Tory Government went out, and a Whig Minis try came in ; and in November, 1834, the Whig Govern ment was dismissed by the late King."—The November of this last year is still further remarkable, us having witnessed Mr. Peter Borthwick's debut at the Surrey theatre, in the'eharacter of Othello ! COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was taken an airing by her attendants on Thursday at Claremont, and yesterday afternoon at two o'clock. The Princess and her attendants left Claremont for a drive in an open carriage drawn - - by a pair of ponies. - His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Mr. George Edward Anson and Sir Edward Bowater, passed the fbrenoon of Thursday shoot ing in Claremont Park.

MORNING SUN , LECTURE ON MNEMONICS 7 The metaphysicians of the schools have been long perk plexed to give some determinate idea of the natur e t . ) memory, but the latest and most sagacious of I, II R II. thinkers, Dugald Stewart, confessed it to be indelint,z,kr,; Dr. Reid equally complained of its inexplicability' t snu said that memory was an original faculty, given its by3te - Author of our being, and•he alone inspired man whit t ' Kant, however, and his philosophic school, holve l.

A lecture delivered by. M. Beniowski on men - 101 0, or the art of memory, yesterday evening, at the Lecture Rooms, near Red Lion-square, furnished 'sufficient proof , to an audience of more than 300 persons, of the powi ls t of which mechanical memory is capable. , The firs ninemonical experiment M. Beniowski advanced wit s very similar to that related by Muretur of the youPg Corsican, who was able to repeat, after twice readiPg! any number of words in any order. M. Benio4!' however seVerely questioned by his audience, gaYT,ill responses with scarce a failure, thOugh the stkie. ° recite was of the roost: unconnected ' - and ipcOti 3 oi! kind.

"Not a syllable," answer e° Beniowski; " but," continued he, " before I r?a.ched o ,le gates of Alexandria I knew enough to convince She natives I was neither deaf nor dumb." lof The experiments. so far as regarded words, werf,,,44 • themselves-surprising ; but the wonder greatly incret9-ii when M. Beniowski challenged the company tO'qutl llo 0 him on entire works. Venerable Homer was to bif4,4 ta touch-stone, and the powers of the lecturer's menA was to be evinced by reciting any line of the s°%f hundred and eighty which compose the first book -„ the Iliad. No sooner did any one present pror - ; t to know the number of the line, where the ling u a old writer sings of " ox-eyed venerable Juno," no sn°ll`,l was " rosy-checked Briscis" mentioned, or " swift-footfe Achilles," or " Vulcan pouring out the nectar, while t" Gods all laugh," than the number of the line was si r s swered, or, in answer to the appellant's number , w,, g . given the corresponding line. After this, our astoni"4 • went witnessed further feats in regard to upwards of to thousand chronological events, gathered either fr°l:',. Usher or Eusebius, which were answered by the eager, menter from fact to date, or from, date to fact. Nazi` r o f tables of Logarithms, of which every page is a forest t , figures, seemed child's-play to the lecturer to rec ouo. Since the days of Francis Suarez or Lipsius, the forl, of whom is immortalised by his ability to repeat a ll - 0 ,, Augustine's works by heart, and the latter by his ch membrance of the whole of Tacitus, a memory of stl io capacity and wonderful mechanical capabilities as t • lecturer's, has not, we may say boldly, appeared. .d But the keys of this invaluable, nay, even magl.lo, science, are conveyed with equal ease to any of his Old one of whom appeared before the audience, and e xhibi t before them the result of only four hours' study--- 4 u„ l f cult chronological task—and the readiness and truth of his answers was astonishing.
