We copy from the Spectator an article on the Census of 1841, - which shows that there has been decrease in the agricultural or rural population since 1831 of 72;i per cent., and an increase in the town or manufacturing population of 1-2 per cent. It follows, according to our Contemporary, that the increase of the town or manufacturing popu lation has been caused by families and parts of families moving from the agricultural districts to find employment and a living in the town dis tricts• In fact, as every one knows, this iScontinu ally occurring, and the majority of rural families send One or more of their members as clerks • , merchants, attorney s , porters, or servants, accord ing to thei r ran k, to ake their fortunes or find a subsistence in towns. Some few persons who make fortunes in trade or manufactures retire to the country ; but the number is very small compared to those who in the m2rning of life leave the country for the town. To stop up the channels of trade, to impede the growth of manufactures, to limit the employment and the means of subsist ence is, our Contempora r yconcludes, to keep down the people to a limited number by starving them. In that conclusion we entirely agree, and it is one to wh i c h we h ave already and very frequently' directed attention. We ha ve withoutso, Bare this shesi tation, stigmatized the lacis fe ct as murderous or very criminal laws. Those IN ho are at all acquainted with what has been said by our ablest political wr iters on the subject, must be aware that to curtail the means n r em „, k-oying, feeding, and increasing the population, is really to inflict on society "all the ills that flesh is heir to." To allude t? them all we must draw up a dismal catalogue, that would only te rr if y the reader, and even bring political science into discredit, because that power which the human being has o f a dapting himself, even to artificial circumstances, and almost of educing good from evil, serves at all times to correct the errors and blunders of statesmen, and palliates the mighty injustice they inflict on the people. There is, however, one principle which, from its effects In corrupting the mind, deserves to be briefly adverted to. Why do we l oo k f or generous an d no ble deeds to the upper, or gentlemanly classes, and " J.' I . 8 any thing mean or pitiful doubly ]mean and P:t l- f"l when p ract i sed by one of them ? Clearly because they are abundantly- supplied, and comparativelyl!rt at th e i r ease. Why, again, do excuse, so far as we can excuse them, m --eaH ness, taki ness, pettyfogging, overreaching, or n g Petty advantages, and all the low and sordid. pursuits of h ucksters, pedlars, and such fort of persons? Because they are poor, and plead the necessities of their condition. P rosper i ty or affluence is that condition of individuals and of society from Which the generous and en nobling virtues spring ; while want, or compara tive destitution, or the apprehension of want, is the parent of hard-heartedness, meanness, and low, despicable vice. From distress, flow a whole catalogue of cr i mes. All see prosperit before them, are y classes, as they filled with hope, cheerfulness, kindness, and ge- It has been our frequent business to call atten tion to the existence of such laws, and when we add thereto the many other causes which exist in our institutions for corrupting the heart of man, we see with admiration and wonder that society is still lleM together, and the busy hum of our congregated and. most ingenious, orderly, and quiet millions still prevails, instead of Eng-- land being a wilderness resounding only to the war-whoop of the wild man. We have a Legis lature which claims obedience on the pretence of protecting the people, and cares only for en riching the aristocracy or securing the wealth of the parsons. We have a Church which preaches doctrines that it never practises. The Legisla ture and the priesthood combined act on the principles of rapacity and hypocrisy. Fortu nately their power is not equal to their wishes, or, following their example, all honesty would be extinguished. In a book just published, entitled " A Plea for Imprisoned," grounded upon extracts from the Prison Reports,* we find such cases as these : " In a dark cell, at Ipswich. I found a prisoner lying upon the floor, who had been there for several days upon bread and water. His offence was for making a noise in the night. For that the turnkey had verbal orders to put him into the refractory cell, and there he was placed. In the same prison I found seven youths in so litary confinement, who had been committed for refrac tory conduct in a union workhouse. They were first placed upon bread and water, but since they have been allowed a quart of gruel in addition. They had no books, and they never had been visited by chaplain or surgeon. One of them was sentenced to four months' (120 days and nights) solitary imprisonment ; another to two months ; and another had been confined for seven weeks. The sum of their offence was refractory conduct in a workhouse." What a horrible punishment for such an of fence. Why, a murderer could scarcely be doomed to anything worse than four months' so litary imprisonment. Talk of the crimes of the people, what are they to the deliberate crimes of the State ? The man was relieved cf half his punishment by the accidental arrival of the In spector. " The poor clown was in fact shut up for only 49 days, without human intercourse, without the access of the surgeon for his bodily ails, or chaplain for his imbruted mind." A book was published some time back, called the " Crimes of the Law," but it will he very in complete if it do not also give us the crimes of the Al agistrates, the crimes of the Legislature, and the crimes of the Priesthood. The misfor tune is, that these classes think themselves the standards of right and wrong, each in his sphere, and that what they decree and what they do is necessarily just and perfect. Hence their ar rogance is unbounded, and without a blush or a doubt they perpetrate, as we have shown, almost unbounded mischief. Published by Mitchell, Bond -street. The Mooning Post of Saturday admitted that there are many alarming symptoms in the social condition of Great Britain. "It is fearful," said our Contemporary, " to behold an enormous mass of people whose means of existence are scanty or precarious, and who have thrown (Wall restraint of reverence for that which is placed above them." It is of some consequence, too, that the Tories have opened their eyes to the fearful condition of society ; and to make them still more aware of this fearful condition, we must direct their attention to the excellent paper in another part of The Sun, signed "J. W. MAssm." It will perhaps astonish them to learn that the youth in the manufacturing districts have in several cases only been prevented from forming themselves into bands of robbers, and taking what they want—as the landowners take away the property of other men without having dis tress to plead—by the entreaties, remonstrances, and prayers of their seniors. It is not,. however, to be expected that the seniors will long be obeyed, if distress continues; and those who rely ex elusively on a police to keep order and protect property will find that they labour under a great mistake.. When hacked by the great majority of the population the police is an efficient force, I bUt it will avail nothing against a hostile and starving multitude. As the Tories have found out that society is in an alarming condition, it may be expected that they should propose a remedy. The Post accordingly suggests more Church. It differs entirely from the Norwich people, and asserts that fewer pigs and more parsons would heal our disorders. The remedy recommended by the Post has been tried so often, and failed, that we should be inclined to try the opposite method 7 -diminish the parsons and increase the pigs. It is quite certain that, since the Ministry of Mr. PERCIVAL, the Church has been the fa voured protegee of the State. She has had everything she has asked for. Great grants of money, and laws to put down her opponents. She has been almost mistress of the State. The result is a condition of society which even the Post feels to he alarming. The Church has been amply tried, and the disease increases; it is only reason able, therefore, to try another renzedy. By more pigs the Norwich man meant food, pork being Mr. HEWETT'S favourite dish; and we seriously recommend, as the cure for the pre - sent alarming condition of society, an increase of food. We have more confidence in the legislative: wisdom of Mr. HEWETT and his like, touching food, than in the Earl of RIPON. The mob broke into that Nobleman's usidence in 1815 because he was the active man in passing the Corn-law. The mob resisted the passing of that law to the best of their ability, though their means of resistance were uncouth. ,Now, at present, there is scarcely an impartial man in the empire who will not admit that the mob in 1815 were much wisAr than the Earl of RIPON, and that, had their ad-: vice been followed instead of his, the country would have been spared the calamities which the continuance, of Corn-laws for twenty-six years has caused. But when the masses see this ignorance in the law-makers, when they see the law-makers sub jected to the common passions of our nature, and acting from the meanest and most despicable motives,—when they see them guilty of the grossest o ppression, how can the masses continue to reverence those above them ? The Post implies that the people alone are to Llame for having cast off the restraint of reverence ; but may it not also be the case that those above them no longer deserve reverence? The nobility were the leaders, the priests were the teachers of society; but now they neither lead nor teach the people, they only vex and oppress them. Let the nobility and the priesthood again resume their ancient duties, be again the guides and i ns t ructors of the people, if that be possible, and the people will reverence them quite as much as they deserve. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday hu~e all n received. In Friday's Moniteur, the find the ibllowing tqlegraphic despatches with news from the Spanish frontier:— TouLoN, OcT. 12. 7 -The Maritime Prefect to th Minister of the Interior.—A reaction has m an if" st : l itself in Barcelona; the Ayuntamiento and the Pro vincial Deputation have taken possession of power. The Captain of the Mel6.agre has sent for the Cerf, which i s at Port Vendres, to assist him in receiving the nume rous unhappy persons who take shelter under the French flag. _ PERPIGNAN, OCT. 12.—The Prefect of the Eastern Pyrennees to the Minister of the Interior.—On the 9th inst., at Barcelona, at the departure of the diligence, the National Guard under arms demanded arrests and the do Manylitiono f the citadel.

PERISIGNAN, OCT. 13.—The General commanding the , 2 1st Military Divi s ion to the Minister of War.—The c stitutionnd of Barcelona of the 11th inst. announces the departure of Van Haien for Arragon, and his being replaced, ad interim, by General Zabala.

A law, consequently, or a series of laws, which limit the resources of the com munity, and keep all classes, or the great. majority of the industrious classes, in a/on tinaal state of apprehension, fearing for their fortunes, or fearing for their subsistence, tends to con-upt the heart of man, and make him prac 7 tice, though he can never prefer, mean vies ii#tead of generous and noble virtues.

It IT said that General Borso, who inducelthem to revolt,- has been hanged. No diligence or cornier errived here yesterday from Madrid. The subjoined despatch is from the Moniteur of Sawrday. It is of the same date, from Bayonne, as the last quoted, and was received in Paris on Friday evening : " The Sub-Prefect, to the Minister of the Interior— No news from Madrid. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the citadel of Pampeluna ceased firing ; it is reported that the city has capitulated. " They are arming at Sebastian, where it is believed that General Meals will shut himself up." - We have numerous and very interesting ac counts from Madrid, of the attack on the Palace oa the night of the 7th instant. One of these will be found in another part of The San. Another states that the insurgents amounted in all to 1,000, led on by Generals DIEGO LEON and ColsonA. The defence made by a handful of Halberdiers was most heroic. The fighting lasted from. eight o'clock in the even ing till nearly four o'clock in the morning, and the battle rtneed successively in the ball of the Ambassadors, the Queen's drawing-room, nnd up the grand stair-case to the door of the Queen's bed-room. The cries of the Royal children as they fled from room to room, con ducted by Madame MINA, who covered them with rnattrasses to de end them from the balls, was heard in every part of the Palace. • The walls of the room in whi&l the young Queen was last sheltered were actually perforated with balls. Eighteen veteran Halberdiers with a gallant young Colonel at their head, repulsed every attempt of the insurgents to break the doors, strewing the stairs with their dead bodies. The Minister GONZALES was in his office in the interior of the Palace, when the re volt broke out, and by barricading his doors escaped being shot by the rebels, who several times endeavonred to force the doors. In their fright the poor Royal children, believing that they had not an hour to live, cried for a confessor; and when on the following morning the troops reviewed in front of the Palace shouted " Viva el Reyna," the young QUEEN ad dressing an attendant said, " Without the Halber diers I should not now be alive." And yet this mur derous midnight attack upon the residence of a child, the fright of which might have made her a drivelling idiot for the remainder of her life, was planned by her profligate mother with the probable concurrence of the highest personage in France. Madame Mutsoz, who preferred a base connexion with a Life-Guardsman to the guardianship of her own children, and the purity of the Royal purple, receives visits from the King of the FRENCH while desecrating with carnage the very bedrooms of her own children in the Royal Palace of Madrid. Base, indeed, would be the Spanish Government--inglorious the Spanish people, could Spain either forget or forgive these out rages, heaped upon her throu g h th e conn i vance of France. The price of-bread for the remainder of the month is fixed'at thirty-six centimes the kilogramme. The Director of the _National, M. Thomas, who was sentenced in July to a fine of 500 francs, and a month's imprisonment for infraction of the laws of September, by announcing a kind of subscripti on t o d e f ray t h e ex penses inflicted upon that Journal by the Chamber of Peers, has just surrendered himself at the prison of St. Pelagie to undergo his sentence. The Barcelona journals to the 10th instant, which ar rived yesterday, state. that on the receipt of the news of the events at Pampeluna on the morning of the Sth, which came round by way of Perpignan, the Captain- General, Van Helen, immediately assembled the troops of the garrison, and having announced to them the pro ceedings of O'Donnell, exhorted them to fidelity to Es partcro. After the review, all the superior officers were called to the presence of the General, and informed that he would hold them personally responsible for the subor dination of their men. He subsequently published a proclamation, in which, after expressing his indignation against the Generals who had re b e ll e d aga i nst the Go vernment, he orders that every soldier (as stated by the telegraphic despatch), or other person under, his corn- ma - nd or authority, who should in speech or writing express his approbation of the rebellion of O'Donnell, or attempt to favour revolt or disobedience to the Govern ment, should be punished with death, conformably to law, and that t very person attempting to prosecute prin ciples of revolt in the army should incur the same pun ishment. The Gonstitucionel of Barcelona attacks the French Government with great violence, and accusesit of ha ring fomented the insurrection of O'Donnell, and recom mends that the army should be placed on the frontiers to prevent the entrance into Spain of what it calls the scum of Spaniards, who are, it says, excited-to revolt on the other side of the Pyrenees. The capital and fortresses could, it adds, be garrisoned by the National Guard. The Constitueionel complains also that General Pavia, who was second in command at Valencia with O'Don mil, and also-embarked with the ex-Regent, should he taking the waters at Callas, where he and the Carlist ex-General Segarra may; it supposes, carry on some intrigue against the Spanish Government. The Pho ceen packet, which left Barcelona on the 9th, arrived at Marseilles, bringing no Spaniards as passengers, the Spanish authorities having, says the Gazette the Midi of the 12th, refused to grant passports to Spaniards to emigrate. The persons who arrived in this vessel re port that great fermentation reigned in Barcelona, and that fighting with sticks, as the precursor of more seri ous conflicts, was carried on in the streets. Other ad vices from Barcelona state that the political Governor of the province, and the Ayuntamiento of the city, have issued proclamations against the favourers of the Movement. We learn from Corfu that the harvest of Corinth grapes has been very good this year, both in quality and quantity. Cephalonia has produced negrly 12 millions of pounds, and Zante about seven millions. A fall in the price is therefore looked for. It was expected that a very large quantity of excellent olive oil would be made, as the trees were loaded with fruit in fine condition. A letter from Rome states that the Jews of Ancona gave the Pope, during his visit to that city, a Bible, with clasps mounted in diamonds. The Memorial of Dieppe states that a young woman near that town was brought to bed a few days ago of four children, who, with the mother, are doing well. Criminal indictments against M Joubcrt and Baron d'Este are said, by the Gazzlfe de Tribunaux, to be in preparation. The Commerce says that Baron d'Este, who was arrested at Lille for want of passports, was not de tained long, but soon allowed to continue his journey to Paris., where he is believed to have arrived. The Moniteur Parisien states that the Minister of the Marine is preparing to establish Government steamers P 3 packets between the Antilles and the continent of South America, and that part of the Gulph of Mexico, called Terra Firma. These steamers, which are to be placed under the control of the commander of the naval station of the Antilles, will, adds this journal, prove highly advantageous to tne French colonies, by ren derirg the communication between them, and also with the South American continent, much more frequent and certain. The Cour Royale decided yesterday that there were no grounds for proceeding against the responsible editor of the Temps, Gazette de France, Echo Francais, and Estafette, for the article announcing the withdrawal of the orders for taking the census ; and directed that the . , copies seized should be restored. M. Voillet de Saint Philibert, responsibl:e editor of tbe Mode, underwent 2n interrogation yesterday by the exnnining Magistrate, on the subject of the number of the juurnal which has been seized. A let:;:er from Pampeluna, of the 10th, says : " has resolved to act with energy, and his first step Ils-ts been to require the evacuation of the city. General Ribeiro having disregarded this injunction, the citadel began by throwing, at intervals, bombs and grenades into the city, which, it is said, did but little mischief. As lam going to close my letter, the firing has ceased, but it is not exactly known for what reason. It is said that the two Generals have had a confer- ;lice, which I doubt, knowing the firmness ofßibeco's character." The Phare says that, just as it was going to press, it received the following news : " The firing commenced at Pampeluna at six in the morning of the 10th, and continued till six in the even ing ; at ten at night it recommenced, and continued till six the mixt morning. After a suspension of two hours, it was recommenced, and had not ceased at noon. The women and-children had left the place. "It is affirmed that the damage is considerable, espe cially to the buildings contiguous to the Place de Cas tello. which are reduced to a heap of.rnin3. "Ortigoia entered the citadel on the 10th with two companies. " Gcnorai Ribiero, not being able to comply with the deraknds of the Exaltados, has resigned the command, mil:eh he has given up to Brigadier-General Bagona."— C'e;.'si.ttationnel.

The Levant Mail arrived this morning, bringing news from Constantinople or the 27th of September. On the following day Reschid Paella was to sit out, by way of the Danube end Vienna, as Ambassador to the Court of France. Count de Ponteis, the French Ambassador at Constan tinople, had obtained a temporary leave of absence in order to arrange some family affairs in France. His Excellency was to proceed to Paris by way of Versaille Lord Ponsoiiby was to leave Constantinople for Malts. and Rome on the sth inst. The. Greek, Armenian, an British inhabitants of Ther-nia presented an address td . Lord an,l PonSOl.by, deploring their ,departureo and extolling their charity to the poor and the distressed, during their ten years re:idenee in Turkey. The Nile svidaltw arrived' 'at Constantinople on the bringing from Alexandria six million3,of pias tres (250,000 dollars), as a further instalment of the tril - mte from the Viceroy. The Porte has officially apologised for . the insult off,rcd the Austrian flag, and punished the individuals who perpetrated it, by sending them to the galleys. in chains. There is no decisive news from Spain in the French journals. From all that we can gather from them it is not to be doubted that the main object of the present revolutionary movement, as far as France is concerned, is to place a son of Louis Philippe's on the throne of Spain. The Journal des Debats, the organ of the King, admits this in the following ex plicit terms:—" There ia in Spain a young Queen, who, by marriage, may bring to the throne an other blood than that of Louis XIV. and Philip V. IVitat is evidently the interest of France—and, we may add, of Spain, for the alliance of such a country as ours cannot be less precious for Spain than the alliance of Spain can be for us? The evident interest of France is to secure the perpetuity of a dynasty which is of French origin, and to strengthen by a new a lli ance th e o ld f am il y ties which unite the throne of Spain to that of France. Some persons may say, if they please, that family ties have no influence over politics: what is certain is that the Powers which 'are the rival; of France would utter shouts of joy if the blood of Louis XIV. were to cease to flow in the veins of the Spanish monarchs. We are ignorant of what the French Government may have done to avert such a calamity; but we have no doubt that the Government has done something. Yes, it would be a treason to permit a foreign dynasty to establish itself on the throne of Spain.", The Presse, another Court paper, attacks Espartero with the greatest 'virulence ; quotes the Standard to prove that by the Tory Cabinet here he is regarded as a "disloyal adventurer ;" and contends that it is the duty and the interest of France to snatch Spain from anarchy and the influence of England. The Constitutionnel observes that it is the interest of the French to prevent a marriage between Queen Isabella and any foreign Prince not French ; but it does not see how a marriage could be effected between the Quetietind a French Prince without involving France in a war of succession. According to the Constitutionnel ire project of Espartero for effecting a marriage between the young Queen and a son of I)on Francis de Paulo is entirely in the interest of France, as it would at the same time set aside the pretensions of foreign Courts, and prevent an alliance with a son of llon Carlos. If such an alliance as is here proposed be sufficiently French we cannot doubt that England will at once agree to it. But 20,000 French bayonets would not force the Spanish people, without any intervention on our part, to allow a son of the King of the French to espouse their Queen. The National asks whether the French Government will be mad enough to convulse Spain, and throw her permanently into the arms of England, on a pretext of pre venting a marriage between the Queen and seine foreign Prince, when, says this journal, the idea of mar rying her to a foreigner has never been entertained by the Regent. The National regards the idea of setting up the Duke d'Aumale as a candidate against the Duke of Cadiz as alike unjust and insensate. The Courrier _Francais takes an exceedingly sensible view of this question. The following observations can not be too deeply weighed by the _French Cabinet : "Family compacts became the compacts of nations "at a time when kings were everything in a State ; b u t nor, this is no longer the case, and that kings reign, bvt do not govern, an alliance of dynasty does not imply a national al liance; and if Spain is no longer desirous of cultivating the friendship of France, it is not by a French marriage that we should create a different feeling. The husband of a Queen is at all times a personage without-influence. Prince Al bert has not, that we know of, rendered England Ger man, nor has Prince Ferdinand relieved Portugal from the yoke of England. Napoleon, who had on his side the influence of genius, and at a time less distant than our own, from that in which family compacts were the order of the day, endeavoured to revive them. He gave his brother Joseph to the Spaniards as their king, and what remains of that unfortunate attempt except the re membrance of cruel disasters experienced by each nation ? And is it imagined that what could not be effected by the powerful arm of Napoleon, by the grand army under Massena, Soult, and Suchet, and with the gold and blood of France so profusely lavished in Spain, may be effected by the Duke d'Aumale! What is called a French mar riage couli only be a pretext for using Spain to the pro fit of France and her own injury, or for exhausting the resources of Franca in support of some Court intrigue. We disapprove of either of these extremes. What we desire is the alliance and not the conquest of Spain, and this alliance to be durable must be voluntary." EY:Jaz= OPINION. The Morning Herald, speaking of the squabbles on the Canadian frontier, anti the conduct of Captain Jones, as respects the capture of Colonel 'Grogan says--" If our Governinent have no further information than that now before our readers—or no gTounds to assume that Cap tain Jones has it in his power sufficiently to justify either his own orders, or the excess committed by the party he employed in executing them ; we doubt not that they will issue such immediate instructions to their own re presentatives in Canada, and address such instant com munications to the American Government as may at least suspend any irrevocable operations proceeding on the ground of an insult sustained by the one Govern ment, and vindicated by the other. We lOok for the next arrivals with the most profound and inexpressible anxiety. At present, never did a great and righteous cause appear to be in more serious . jeopardy of being. ! compromised by an unlucky and unloOked,for accident, than the issue of the M'Leod case seems - to be, from the capture of Grogan." • The Chronicle says All reflecting persons, from the political economist down to the labourer, arc agreed as to the evils of the Corn Monopoly. There is not a single name of any weight opposed to a repeal of the Corn-laws. It is supported by selfish men, who use no other argu ment than, we have the power, and are determined to maintain the law. But with respect to constitutional re forms, the moment they are agitated men begin to diifer widely: In France, the Liberals dread, if the suffrage were general, that the priests and the enemies of liberty would obtain the ascendancy. In this country, from the inequality of property and the ignorance and dependence of the population in the agri cultural districts, it is supposed by many that universal suffrage would- only strengthen the land lords. Hence many who are ardent friends of liberty oppose universal suffrage, from a belief that it would prove . the grave of liberty. In the great towns alone, they - say, is there anything like public opinion ; and the improvement that is most wanted in the repre sentation is to increase the number of representatives for great towns, to diminish the number of county represem tatives, and to place a number of small boroughs in sche dule A."—We agree with the Chronicle that an increase of the representation in great towns is much wanted, and a proportionate decrease ha the number of county representatives ; but these are reforms far too efficient and too really valuable ever to be granted by the Tories without a desperate struggle. • They dread the force of public opinion that manifests itself in the great towns, as much as they encourage by every means in their power, the ignorance and • prejudice so prevalent in the agricultural districts. Your true Tory makes it a point of duty to concede no such reforms to the people, but such as are scarcely Worth their acceptance. We quote the following from the Post:—" The new Government is but just established in office at that rterio3 of the year which generally forms the recess from Parliamentary. duty. The Prime Alioister announces that he intends to bring forward very important mea sures, but that some time is required for the considera tion of them before they can prudently be submittad to e Parliament. Islip publite t aherefore kart ine the a da r k as to the general diatptsition with which the Minister _un dertakes his task, or has the public really been given reason to believe that the Minister will prepare his measures in a harsh, narrow, and excltnive spirit, as regards the people ? Quite the contrary. Sir Robert Peel has stated most emphatically what the principles are upon which he means to proceed, or at least ho has • stated the nature of the guides to which he will look in making up his mind as to the measures he will propose. He has stated, as plainly as words- can state anything, that the principles he will adh ere t o d ur i ng his public life, whether in oppo sition or in power, shall be " in conformity with the pre railing good sense, with the moderation, and with the intelligence of the people of England."—This declaration of the Tory Pre-tier, plausible es•it is, is a mere flourish of speech, nothing more. It is just like the majority of his Parliam entary declarations, meant only to tickle the he of course me ans those whoare long ears of hi s par the tisene. By people of England," thinking with hims e lf ; f or it has l ong been an a x iom with the Tories, th a t a il t h e i nte lli gence , good sense, and moderation of the country are to b e f oun d in their ranks. of the same way of For these, therefore, Sir Robert Peel will no doubt legis late in a very acceptable spirit ; while those who happen to be without the pale of Toryism wis_ be left to shift for themselves, The Times remarks, in reference to the else of Col. Grogan—" At the same time whatever may become of poor M'Leod, no person can doubt that this Grogan of air, if the Am er i can d eta i ls be pert i nac i ous ly adhered to, and foolishly a d opted by the Fe d era l G o v e rnment as a set-off to the tr ansact i ons at Navy Island, must either produce an immedi a t e war, or very gre atly embarrass the peaceful negotiation s now understood to be in pro gress. That Grogan's apprehension has been absolutely necessitated by the strict principles of international law —principles which the Americans .have too often pre sunned to diiregard— we are as thoroughly convinced as of our own existence. But what with the counter convictions which may possibly be entertained by- the Americans, and what with their bitter animo sities against this country generally, we almost dread to anticipate the consequences which seem A,. ~ i t , ) , . . . .. v., , „ ~,,,, j ~,, 1,, , e , ee, e ;e a lets it ppenee, ,aae.ei all question, at the- most inopportune moment imagine t able. The iNlaLeod dispute was quite enough at pre sent. klad its manifold perplexities been satisfactorily I disposed of before any new ground of quarrel arose, the Governments of Great Britain and the United States - might certainly have been in a condition to enter upon the Alburg,h grievance with every chance of a similar I peaceful issue. But considering that the two Governments have such a variety of exasperating differences still on settled, we cannot do otherwise than augur the very worst. For want of firm proclamations and a vigilant en forcement of them at the time when the American svm -1 1 pathizers were f o m en ti ng re bellion in Can a d a , her Ma jesty's loyal subjects in that quarter have been literally 1 forced, in self-d e f ence , t o su pply a practic a l re p arat i on of the deficiency. If the Americans cannot repress their 1 insolent aggressions upon British territory, the Queen of England will assuredly do it for them. If a systematic series of outrages must needs be inflicted on Britain's - crown, her iiajesty's forces, instead of abstaining from doing the duties of the Albargh magistr.aey, will, in all probability, find ways and means of asserting her great national - rights under the walls of New York itself: I And if it must come to that, may God send us a good I - deliverance. The Seotsmthn observes, in an article on the subject of the Church's demands on Government, as urged by the Church of Enjind Quarterly Review—" That Sir Robert and his coadjutors regard these absurd claims with con tempt and derision, is certain ; but men who live by shifts and expedients must often purchase the silence of troublesome partisans. and buy off the hostility of oppo nents. Two or three millions annual',, .for Church Ex tension t Such are the modest claims of those to whom Sir Robert Peel owes his majority. But there is a de ficiency in• the revenue, and we are thankful for it!" The Beton Free Press has the following remarks on the Chartist system of policy :—" The Chartists weaken the effect of Anti-Corn-law demonstrations by their reckless interference, and, instead of strengthening themselves by it, they only excite disgust and indigna tion in many who would otherwise join their ranks. The food monopoly is the weakest point in the citadel of monopoly, and by a united people it could easily be stormed in that airection.a l3 , ut the Chartists seek to break the force of the attack. They seem to forget that by standing in the way of the Corn-law Repealers they are at once sacrificing a present good, and patting off still farther their own more distant objects." The Leeds Times gives the foll Owing picture of the present state of the country :—" The people are suffer ing, at one and the same time, from hunger and from surplus produce ; from nakedness and from a glut of clothing ; from over trading and overworking ; and from want of trade and want of work ; from panics occasioned by too much wealth and too much debt ; and from bank ruptcy and insolvency, - t'ee fruits of ' plethora' and unexampled prosperity 1' These are the ' breakers' which are already under our very bows ; and yet the first step of Sir Robe r t Peel, the ' Pilot' who is to ' weather the storm,' is to abandon the vessel fur an en tire season to the mercy of the wind and waves." Speaking of the present Ministry, the Devonport lade polka remarks :-=e" So long as the country will endure to be so represented and governed, so long must it bear its worst grievance unmitigated. So long as the Tories -may, with impunity, despis e p u bli c op i n i on , t h ey w ill d o so, - for they never yet rend e r e d it a vo l un t ary d e f erence. " The Liverpool Chronicle advises the people -in these terms :—" The people must not forget their duty to themselves. They must let their mis-representatives know - what they think of them, and they must speak out in a tone which may force itself to be heard above the shouts of merriment which will echo through the halls of Drayton Manor, and disturb the insulting laugh of , high-rent Buckingham, and all the other enemies of the country. Yes ; let the work of petitioning the Queen go on from one extremity of the empire to the other." • The Dublin Eveni ilg Post, in discussing Lord Alvan ley's pamphlet, makes the following incidental re marks :—" Professions are totally valueless, when the Castle. is crowded and ruled by the old and inveterate enemies of popular rights, sad when the Delzoes are are awaiting, in regular rank and file, their promotion to the Judicial Bench, and to the most important offices connected with the administration of justice. When Lord Riet is powerless in opposition to the forced ap pointment of ono of those Delzoes as his own con'sulting Counsel, is it net the merest delusion to talk to the Irish people of the good intentions of the Lord Lieu tenant and the Chief Secretary. The plain truth is, that English Tories govern in Downing-street, whilst Irish Orange partizans rule in Dublin Castle." reloTamr—TE.A.nri—cenunzer..

The steam-ship Britannia, with her Majesty's mails, was intended to sail hence for North America on Tues day next, but is detained for 48 hours. Au order was to-day received by Messrs. M'lver and Co., from the General Post-office, desiring that she should sail on Thursday, the 21st, instead of Tuesday, on which day she will leave the Mersey at her usual time. Up to this hour we are still without any tidings of the Caledonia, the inward bound steam-ship from Boston and Halifax. Her absence causes great anxiety here ; not at all as to her safety, but the great interest attached to the news of which she will probably be the bearer. The general opinion here is; that she has been detained on the other side by order of the British Minister or the Governor- General of Canada to bring the result of M‘Leod's trial, which will no doubt be conveyed by a Government mes senger.

Lin ITAN NIA ST P-11.4104E11, (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY EVENING. We have anxiously expected the arrival of the steamer Caledonia to-day, from Halifax and Boston, and also the South America, the New York liner of the Ist. We now, however, feel little doubt that the steamer has been detained at Halifax, probably to bring the • result of M'Leod's trial. The greatest anxiety prevails here to learn any tidings of her, and although the wind has been very strong from the west ward all day the pier has been much frequented by those whose curiosty alone must have induced them to resort thither on a very stormy day. Our opinion of the detention of the steamer at Halifax, has been confirmed by thecircumstauce that the joint contractors here, along with Mr. Cunard (Messrs. M'lver), have to-day received orders from his Lordship the Postmaster-Gene ral, to detain the out-going steamer, Britannia. until Thursday night, no dOubt in the hope that the additional space may enable the Government to answer the dispatches which will be received by the Caledonia. Up, to the starting of the mail train, at 7 P.M., Sunday evening, no tidings have reached this port of the Caledonia, for which circumstance we cannot suppose any other cause than that she has been detained at Hali fax, as before suggested.
