It seems perfectly - clear that the Whigs can only recover their strength by falling back on the people. That is the mother earth they spring - from, and they must touch it again to get back into power. Accordingly it was well done at the Whig dinner given to Mr. BYNG, on Wed nesdey, to make "Extension of the Suffrage and Vote by Ballot" one of the most conspicuous toasts. was well done to place that toast in-the..hands of Mr. WARD, who put himself too To -;enineittiy forward in resisting Mr. S. CaAw ieoe.o's amendment to the Address, embracing an extension of the suffrage. The lion. Member had an opportunity of explaining his conduct to ei,e satisfaction of the assembly. He proved by hie conduct at the dinner that he was not hostile t..e extension of the suffrage, though from a e 4.-2,0n of Parliamentary etiquette, and a much greater deference to the House of Commons than the pubic it deserves, he threw obstacles in Air. Cii,wroali's way. The Hon. Member well observed, enforcing on the Wliigs around him the truth weset out by stating, that the Tory aristocracy could only be resisted by the middle classes en listing the sympathies and interests of the masses. Conformably, therefore, to the true interests of the Whigs, the Party assembled at Brentford adeocated an extensiOn of the suffrage. But while the Whigg at that meeting were propounding a just and wi:."e doctrine, a Whig j ouu r n alist was inditing a parag eaph deprecating ee e xtension of the suffrage. We c opied it yes terday into The Sun, and from that it appears filet not only the. Globe, which has been 3upposed. ;peak the sentiments of some Members of the Ltte Cabinet, but the Morning Chronicle and the _ll".)eds Mercury, both being alsoleading organs of the Whigs, are of opinion that the " Parliamentary constituency wants expurgation much more than extension." This is an unhappy schism, which strikes at the root of all zealous co-operation amongst all classes of Reformers, and shuts out those who most need the aid of the people from all claim on their support. The bulk of the latedowners, the bulk of the priesthood, and a hrge propfirtion of men of property in the towns, arc opposed to the Whigs. From them the Whigs can get nothing, because they cannot posibiy serve Conservatives as well as Sir R. PEEL. They can only get strength from the people, and illyce of their leading organs contemptuously • reject the condition on which alone the people . •tn be even asked to support them. It may be ',tact the opinions of the journalists are merely those of individual editors which are not adopted ii hie party, but if so they ought to be publicly disowned and reprobated. To give such a toast, and not to repudiate the opinion of the presumed organs of the Whigs, gives a colour of truth to the Tory accusation, that the Whigs are double faced, and wish to use the people for their own purposes, and will deceive and betray them. .• The ground on which at present the Liberal press appeals to the people for support is, that monopoly of all kinds is injurious ; but three of t h e ,journats which make that appeal are the a deocates of a monopoly of legislation. Not contented, too, with the present narrow mono , o ly, they wish to make it narrower and more exclusive. If the Whigs mean to throw them -o.sre,e wholly on the Conservatives, and sepa rate themselves altogether, an d f o r ever, from the original sour ce of their power, th;.yr do right the Globe, Chronicle, and aokelowledging Leeds j i erett ey, when they advocate a more limited and 'nore a ristocratic constituency. What is the motive Ihr this suicidal policy? Not a principle, for neither of these journals contend that one naan or one class has not as good a right to share in the Government, and N in makinglaws, as another. either will affirm that the poorest man in the kingdom is not affected by laws equally with the richest, and therefore needs quite as much as the other the le.litical power which may serve to protect him. The immediate motive is, we are afraid, personal vexation. The Whizs have been defeated. It cannot be denied that bribery and intimidation lease contributed to that end, nor that these have been chiefly effective with the poor and the dependent. Hence these yeaters jump to the coDeleesion, that with forger poor and fewer dependent voters the Whigs would have triumphed, and hence they become advocates for Lord S •TA - NLEY ' plan of contracting the constituency. They would fashion it to .ensure, if possible, a perpe tual triumph to the Wh;g party and Whirr principles. They are rigid monopolists after t i te vn fashion, a n d if they continue to es pouse such principles, we must, in all cases, as in this case, separate ourselves from them. The remote motive for this doctrine is the ter rible mistrust which most of the upper and mid dle have of the lower classes. They hate them as if they were conscious they had injured them. " A Constitution," says the Globe, "re garding numbers as the sole basis of power, is pro tartto an approach to the anarchy which results from giving legal weapons for the war of the poor with the rich," and it continues the ar gument to the conclusion, that " the passions and instinct of subversion lurk in the multitude, which their delegates must necessarily sa tisfy." If such be Whig doctrines, their old toast of the sovereignty of the people was a fraud, and they have as complete a distrust of the multitude, and are as ready to calumniate them, as the Tories. The Globe, and those who think with it, are afraid of giving " legal weapons" for the war of the poor with the rich ; but they make no scruple, of which the multitude, now awake to their rights, justly complain of giving legal weapons for the war of the rich with the poor. While the aristocracy deny an extension of the suffrage, lest the poor should use legislation to plunder the rich, they establish as limited a suf frage as possible in order to enable the rich to plunder the poor. The sad and even revolting condition of the industrious classes in this coun- try who, by dint of the utmost skill and labour, can scarcely obtain the coarsest means of sub sistence, while idle rent-owners and tithe owners, idle sinecurists, and pensioners, and public servants, who are much better paid than the people they serve, wallow in abundance, is a clear and unanswerable proof that the rich have actually made use of the Legislature to oppress the poor, which they only fear the poor might do to them were they armed with the suffrage. This mistrust and dread of the multi tude, as if they had not as strong an interest in the welfare of society as the select few, arising from a consciousness of having injured them, are at the bottom of that denial of political power which the Globe now advocates, and which power the Whigs must concede before they can be again placed at the head of the people. Considering that a powerful opposition in Parliament and in the country will be ne cessary to inspire the monopolists with re spect for free trade, and keep them from inflicting more bad laws on the country,and considering, too, that the opposition in Parliament can only be formidable, inasmuch as it is supported by the multitude out of the House, we saw with pleasure the toast given at Brentford, and we saw with equal alarm the ar ticles we have referred:to in the Whig journals. The two things indicate a complete schism, on principle, in our party, which must he healed before it can become powerful. It cannot be expected that the unenfranchised should be con tented, nor can their support be obtained with out contenting them. The Whigs must, there fore, as a party, go for the extension of the suffrage, whatever may be the opinions of the Globe, Chronicle, and Leeds Mercury, or leave the Government permanently in the hands of the Tories, and see the country exposed to the continual increase of starvation and discontent. We call attention to our reports in another part of The Sun, of the successful attempts made last night, at two different parts of the Metro polis, to establish Anti-Corn-law Societies. At both the attendance was most numerous, and the persons present were most enthusiastic. At both the Chartists interposed, sufficiently to show that they take a lively interest in political matters, and wished that a preference should be given to their own scheme for relieving the public distress ; but at both the greater number preferred aiming at the immediate abolition of the Corn-law to procuring an extension of the suffrage. We are inclined to think that it is not wise to put the objects of the Chartists and the Aboli tionists in opposition. Both seek the welfare and improvement of the people ; but the former de mand an organic change first, while the latter require first a free trade in fond. The Chartists only ask for an organic change as a means to an end, and that end is precisely the same as the end proposed by the Abolitionists—the enact ment of just and good laws. So far, then, from the objects aimed at by the Chartists and the Abolitionists being hostile, they are the same; but the Chartists would change the Houses of Parliament to obtain the good law—the Aboli tionists would at once obtain the good law. The practical question at issue between the parties is, which is more likely to be successful. The Chartists are of opinion that the abolition of the Corn-laws cannot be obtained without first re-modelling the Legislature; the Abolitionists maintain that it can, by the hearty co-operation of the people, while there is no chance at pre sent of obtaining a great change in the Consti tution. The Abolitionists, it is said, may succeed; the Chartists at present cannot; and as the abolition of the Corn-laws would hasten the re modelling of the Constitution, it is not wise, it is said, in the Chartists to abstain from cordially co-operating with the Abolitionists. We, of course, should recommend all classes first to direct their energies to the abolition of the Corn law, and rely on that as a means of obtaining a great extension of suffrage.

' 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-gones shall be by-genes; 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 hose advocates, whose conversion is perhaps too violent ;o be very rational or quite sincere."

Lord Adolphus Fitzelarenee ,left to ol day morning for Leamington, Warwici‘s THE SUN, LONDON , FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1841 •Persons not in the secret have been surprised at the spiteful and pitiful attacks made by the Times on the Honourable Member for Bath ; and it is appropriately enough remarked, that it is rather singular the plebeian proprietor of the Times should be the first to cry " stinking fish." The fact is understood to be, that the notice of motion given by Mr. ROEBUCK, to transfer the duties of the Somerset-house divan to the Home office, has been found exceedingly embarrassing to those Tory Members who were " open mouthed" to their constituents "about the three tyrannical Poor-law Commission Bashaws." These gentlemen cannot now well shirk the gues s tion by " coming Yorkshire" over the elector who have returned them to Parliament, on the understood agreement, that on the first opportu nity that offered they would give effect to their denunciations of the Bashaws in their places in the House of Commons. Mr. ROEBUCK, with his energy of character, and commanding talents, can well afford to despise the petty malice of these low attempts to annoy him, grounded on the faithful discharge of his public duty. Let his origin have been what it may, it would be well for the people were there a few more men in the House of his firm ness, perseverance, and integrity. It may be very well for parvenus, who have nothing but their wealth to recommend them, to wish to bury in oblivion a humble descent ; but surely Mr. ROEBUCK cannot be affected by any such weak ness. The fact of the Times attempting to shuffle out of the Poor-law question, by affecting to doubt Mr. ROEBUCK'S ability to meddle with it, shows " where the shoe pinches." Advices from Constantinople of the 18th ult. i 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 island. If this measure be followed by such re forms in the administration as shall secure to the Christians an equal share of civil and religious freedom with the Mussulman population, the tranquillity obtained by the arms of TAHIR PA CHA may be permanent. It is incumbent on the French and English Governments to repre sent this matter to the Porte in the most em phatic terms. Without a thorough reform of the administration in the Provinces of Turkey, peopled for the most part by Christians, there will be no end to the civil wars which will henceforth distract and ruin that long-mis governed country. REDSIIID PACHA had paid farewell visits to the Ambassadors preparatory to his setting out as the representative of t h e Porte at the Court of France. His speedy restoration to Impe rial favour, and his mission to a capital, the ad vanced civilization of which he is so well able to appreciate, and to communicate to his Im- perial Master, augur well for the regeneration of Turkey. The SULTAN has conferred the order of the Niftchan Iftihar upon the Emir BESCIIIR, and upon the Maronite Patriarch, and the Patriarch of Jerusalem. These marks of the Imperial fa vour are exceedingly well, and timely bestowed. It is not long since we were favoured with the perusal of a letter written by the EMIR, in which he said that he would prefer such a mark of the SULTAN'S good will to an ap pointment to a Pashalic, as he was confident that it would have more weight with the Chris tians of Lebanon, as a pledge that their interests were remembered by the Divan. The confer ring of such a distinction on the Christian Pa triarchs will go a great way to convince the Christians that that the SULTAN disapproves of the cruelties and insults inflicted upon them by the authorities in the name of his Highness. As England and France are now united for the protection of the Christian inhabitants of Syria we entertain hopes of soon witnessing the resto ration of that country to a comparative state of repose and tranquillity. When peace is restored and freedom of religious worship permanently secured, the influx of wealty Jews and Chris tians from the West will greatly accelerate the I progress of European knowledge and civilization. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Wednesday. The Moniteur Po risien of that date contradicts the report that the negotiations between the French and Bel gian Commissioners, relative to the commercial treaty, had been broken off. They held a meet ing on Wednesday on the subject, and the ab sence of one of the negotiators had 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. TRIER'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 in 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 andi 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 there 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 mere 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 Sentinelle of Bayonne mentions the arrival of M. Mendizabal in that town from Madrid. " The returns of the commerce of the Philippine Islands," says tic Madrie Gazette, " show that the im ports during 1840 amounted to 1,746,782 piastres, and the exports to 4,459,144p5. During the year 186 vessels entered, and 184 cleared. Notwithstanding the block ade of the coasts of China there have 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 bltwn 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 Chalons 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. Peters burg to Morocco. 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 Phoenix, near Catona; but it announces, at the same time, that the English brigantine sent to the spot is not sufficiently powerful to raise the Phoenix 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 Phoe nix from the bottom of the sea." The King and Queen of the Belgians, who are still at St. Cloud, are to return to Belgium next week. A letter from Boulogne states, that of the 16 persons who were arrested for creating a dirturbance at the fetes, on the inauguration of the Statue of Napoleon, three have been sentenced to four months' imprisonment, seve ral others to three months' imprisonment and a tine, and three only acquitted.—Le Commerce.

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 RECENT, in 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 the 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, Mr 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. ESPA RTERO, 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 Avousmr ARGUELLES, the guardian of the Royal infants, continues his patriotic reforms in the administration of the income of the Royal domains. His at' act blis been to subscribe in the young QuEtii'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 bad 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 lst 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 'CHRISTIN A 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. It is too dull, and we fear it would not be much enlivened by the voluntary residence of Spanish grandees eager for the re storation of her MAJESTY. ERUDITION OF THE " TIMES."—The Times of yes terday, in calling attention to what it designates as "the curious exhibition which Mr. Roebuck made of himself on the floor of the House of Commons," says, that " on his first appearance he enacted the part of Bobadil, the angry boy, in his friend Jonson's comedy of Every Man in his Humour." Now whatever may be the friendship subsisting between Mr. Roebuck and Jensen, it is quite evident that the writer of the article in question has no pretensions to the honour of even the slightest acquaint ' ance with " rare old Ben," or he would have known that Bobadil is no boy at all, but a bullying old Captain, whose constant boast is of the service he hath seen ; while the character of the angry boy is not in the comedy of Every Man in his Humour, but in the Alche mist, where he is called, not Bobadil, but Kastril. The source of the mistake is evident. The writer in the Times had heard of Sheridan's celebrated retort upon Pitt, and would fain have imitated it ; but, thunderer though he be, the Editor of the Times is no Sheridan. 11;: iv C- S ' 141 4 V F t. - Ars - D Vttilltt 04)itttOlt. " Who runs may read." VOSOMEGN; The Porte has raised the blockade of Candia, and granted a complete amnesty to the insurgents of that island. This is gratifying 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 Ifti har. These arc 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 M. 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 vas 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 allowinfr 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 is from 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 foree'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 Englishnien—they have outlived all the trials and tamperings of the Whigs and Radicals — they have survived all the encouragements of Popery, and the discouragements , of Protesfantisin7-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 men who will discourage them either at Court •or in our colonies—at the heart or at the extremities of our comprehensive doniinions."— 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 Tory view of things, until it finds that Toryism 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 for 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 I Instead of playing his favourite part of " Noodle"—wide Toni 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 %hose 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 able to turn its fury upon the Tories. • They ,sustained the popular prejudice against their opponents, b s ' continuing , us, 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, isowling at the door, and eager to lift the lea of office, foY the destruction of the people."— The barefaced effron!.ery—to say nothing of the gross inconsistency—of this passage is absolutely. without pa rallel! Who was the first ,!co administer to the general excitement of 1830, which .!S here denounced as " frenzy ?" The Times! Who assisted the " English mind to run wild," by uplifting the orif!amme of Reform, and calling on the people to raly 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 ,Noble 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. to 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 au 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 un der 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. Byng'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 Commons ; that they did' elect a House ; and that that Hons.e, 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 quite 11 . 4 ht. The present Government is an aristocratic ORE ; sym 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 demokiracy. 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 1 We quote the following remarks from the Plymouth Journal:--" Misery is deaf to sophistry, and an intelli 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 se e 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 accesssion t o power has been a falsification of the moderate principles upon which it was taken. Measures are indicated by the choice of men,—and the men Peel has chosen coin 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 i longer by a specious pretence. As far as the nation is concerned, the men composing the present Cabine t are nothing—the prin c ipl es th e y embody constitute the all in all of their importance. These principles will henceforth engage the sole a tt en ti on of t he 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 t o a n end. It has had its day. It has done its work. On the whole, it has greatly ad vanced 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 SPOIMING. Mr. 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 Coun 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.

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 sheaved that there was a special act for this turn pike, which over -ruled the Acts adduced. EL7ECTIONEERING. Alderman Thompson is said to be opposed by Mr. Matthias Wolverly Attwood for Sunderland.

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 :—" 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, as having witnessed Mr, Peter Borthwick's debut at the Surrey theatre, in the character of Othello !

Coronation is well, and, with fair play, cannot lose, but I have changed my mind as to the " second." Van Hamburgh is half suspected to be amiss, and the mor e so as Bill Scott swears lie is " all right," They are trying to bring up Satirist. Warn your readers against him, fix how can he win unless two or three tumble down ? About eight or nine will run. As to the prophecies, Pegasus and Judex, the only writers whose predictions are the result of observation, it is clear that, like " Uncle Toby," and " A quiet and easy Observer," they must have Coronation. Yates has been so wide of the mark of late years, that it matters little what he tumbles upon this time—but he is sure to have Coronation. The Cup will be between Charles XII., Beeswing, and a three years old, as neither Coronation nor Lanercost will go for it. • T.

The spinners, weavers, and printers of Ghent have met, and answered, that however formidable the competition with France might 'be, they would accept with gratitude any measure which should increase their marine, and cause a closer intercourse with our southern neighbours. .

The man who could embody t he ideas of the poet so vividly, very natu rally felt s ome interest ill the poet himself. Knowing Paisley t o b e t h e place of his birth , he, soon after hi s arrival, made inquiry as to the identical spot, and felt some degr ee o f s urprise that not a single memorial could be found o f t h e m an whose name was so celebrated on both sides o f t h e Atlantic. ' Resolving t o remed y this, he asked, Perth, and obtained p ermission from the p roprietors of the ho use i n w hich Wilson was born , to p ut a slab in the wall, t o mar k the time and place of h i s birth and death. Thi s s l a b he is at present bringing with him from in o r d er that it may be chise lled here . —Paisle y Advertise r .
