LONDON: MONDAY, JULY 12, 1841. Two of the Tory journals, the Quarterly Re view and the London Standard, have, within a short period, expressed the unmitigated hostility and hatred which the Tories continue to nourish against the manufacturing and commercial popu lation. On Saturday, the Morning Post, follow ing their example, though more cautious in its language, evinced a. similar aristocratic contempt of the townspeople. On the nomination for the West Riding of Yorkshire, Lord MORPETII used language to this effect Hostility is deprecated with America. I echo from my heart that philanthropic prayer, But I wia,l ti de vise new and additional guarantees for the harmony of nations : we have enough of fancied and trivial causes fi , r war. Give real and solemn motives for keeping peace. I fear that peace will. never be long secured by the argu ments of philosophers, or by the reasonings of political e conomists, or by the praises of poets ; or even, I fear, as the world goes now, by the precepts of divines. We can't make the Boil lie down with the lamb, but we may create a profitable trade between the woollens of Leeds and the sugars of the tropics. We can't make mankind beat their spears into ploughshares, but we can exchange. the steel of Sheffield for the harvests of Poland and the flour of America. I believe statesmen will never be so safe as when they act on general and comprehensive principles. I. believe that the most effectual way of putting down the slave-trade, which we are • c h arged with encouraging, will be proving to the sl aare - owner • that the labour of slaves is deare r than the lab O ur o f freemen. I believe that the best mode of ba nishhig from . k alt the world the scourge of war, is to • ni t; eac c ht n th ri " s wish for each other's good, and g welfare. Commerce, which is made al . s n ometimes . the sUb- . ject of a sneer, is not in itself civilizatpris not in itself Christianity ; but I belieVe it is destined, in a en-eat de gree, tci be the channel and pioneer of both. On this the Morning Post observed — Now, that we eau- exchange our manufactures for the . produce of slave labour in America, or of serf labour in Poland, although asserted so confidently, is a mere assumption. lt.; is a ;begging of a considerable part .uf the question in controversy - . But supposing it true, are we to consider alone these matters of barter, anti to omit altogether .the high moral and rational considerations therewith connected ? Is this worthy of a statesman ? Is it tit that a, man of high station should seek an op portunity, to sneer at philosophy and poetry, and even “.the precepts of divines," in order to enhance by com parison the possible advantages of traffic in woollens and in steel ? We grant the advantages of such traffic, and no doubt• they will find sufficient advocates. But when a Nobleman and a Minister speaks to the people, we may well expect that while allowing to traffic its fair share of importance, he should not be the mouthpiece of vulgar and degrading sneers against the very noblest things which occupy the minds of men, and without which authority loses all its dignity, and subordination all its virtue. Our Contemporary, then, considers the contra dictory verbiage which goes under the name of philosophy, the pretty prattle which youths lisp and call it poetry, and the polemical sermons which the ecclesiastical drum-thumpers shout forth on Sundays, and at Exeter Hall meetings, as the very noblest things which occupy the minds of risen and compared to which the daily tasks ;'of-Clotiiing and feeding mankind, and ce menting-peace 'between foreign inttions by corn, ineree, ara.insignifieant and v,o;•tlikss. That sentiment, or a sentiment like it, fills the minds of most of time writers for the - Tory }cress. They are 'the toadieS of the, aris toeracp.- 'They sit j ust - b e l ow the salt at the sis elal.reAst,and,are always pandering to the HE beral.sentiments. and-vices of•theso-called great, that they way share their factitious- honours. j l 2 l Se,lvs Iluttsr'-aets and quasi-phi -19/44114""141441t4k'tliiii11:-. t lie their -own pw suits, licaievarixvortlaless v wOrld, as th e noblest of a ll th e ?%7 9. 1,,,•them are di7laco or ha,ve been educated by divines, arid therefore they commit the mistake of supposing that what divines say, however little consonant to reason, however alloyed with superstition, and however ineffica c►ous in improving or restraining statesmen, is the highest human wisdom. We cordially agree with Lord MORPETH, that the " precepts of divines, as the world goes now," are very little likely to influence the rela tions of States. In fact, divines are here the servants of the State, and our statesmen never consult them or their precepts on any question of peace or war. But statesmen are the servants of the industrious classes, the Government is established in authority to protect the rights of the people, and. the proudest of our rulers must, and do continually consult the commercial relations of the country whenever a great ques tion of war or peace arises. Moreover, those commercial relations have al ready done more to knit together foreign people in the bonds of peace, and extinguish national hostility, than all the precepts of all the so-called " divines," from GREGORY THE GREAT to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, that ever Lord MORPETH is, therefore, correct in looking to the extension of commerce as the means of providing " additional guarantees of the har mony of nations ;" and the Post only evinces the thorough contempt and disdain which it, and all its party, entertain for manufactures and commerce and for all their beneficial effects, more nume rous than we can recount, when it condemns the Noble Lord, and exalts philosophy and the precepts of divines into far higher import ance than " the traffic in wool and in steel." Sentiments of hostility to trade are common to the whole Tory party. They are equally manifest in the contempt of the Post and in the fierce hatred of the Quarterly Reriew and the Standard. Too many commercial and manti s facturing communities, such as Leeds and Liver t pool, have, however, justified the hatred and contempt of the Tories by electing Tories to re present them. If by their means manufactures should go still more to decay, and commerce should fail to increase, they may reflect, with some self-reproach, that they have lent their sanction to the doctrine that commerce and manufactures may he despised and sacrificed by statesmen, if they only encourage philosophy, poetry, and priestcraft. Lord STANLEY declared a short time before the Parliament was dissolved, that he and Sir ROBERT PEEL had for some time past freely communicated all their views to each other, and that they cordially agreed on all points. The Noble Lord's speech at Lancaster was carefully modelled, apparently, on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech at Tamworth, and is to be considered of additional importance as an index to the policy which these political twins are to pursue. We have their united authority for asserting that they are bound firmly together, and though the world thinks that difference of birth, of natural inclination, and of bringing up, make them drag different ways, they are now running down their game in common. All writers of any note on political economy, and all persons who have reflected on the subject, arc of opinion that trade should be perfectly free ; and scientific men will learn with astonish ment and dismay, that, under the Tory Govern ment, according to Lord STANLEY, free trade will be considered only " a clap-trap." Political science will weep to find that her noble precepts, the most pleasing of all her deductions, are to be laughed at in the Tory Parliament as mere clap traps, like the scenes of a theatre, to catch the applause of an audience. Lord STANLEY, after he had ridiculed free trade as a clap-trap, ridiculed the small reduc tion proposed in the Sugar duties. He did not promise to make the reduction greater when he is Colonial Secretary, but he would withhold it altogether, because it is so very trifling. At I the same time that he describes the reduction as a saving of a Traction of a penny in a pound of sugar, he also describes it as transferring the entire trade in this article to foreigners, and stopping the cultivation of sugar in our colonies. The two conflicting statements are made to suit separate purposes, and the Noble Lord is too much carried away by the stream of his own vituperation to attempt a reconciliation between them. When he wishes to heap ridicule on the Ministers, he asserts that the reduction is only the fraction of a penny; when he wishes to terrify his auditors, he describes the paltriest of all changes as plunging in ruin our flourishing colonies. He is one of the greatest masters of assertion that ever spoke. The Noble Lord having so satisfactorily to himself disposed of the Sugar question, and de monstrated that the Tories will not lower the discriminating duty, proceeded to attack the Corn-law abolitionists. Here are some of his words : You are told that you are to 'get the same quantity of bread for a shilling for which you now pay 18d., that you will purchase the 41b. loaf for 6d. for which you now pay 9d., and that this will be affected by the reduction in the price of corn. Now, the price of corn is by no means the single element in the price of bread. I don't suppose that the miller will work for less than he did before—(Hear)—that the baker will work for less than he (lid before, or that the shopkeeper will content himself with a smaller profit. All these items remain the same as b e k,re, and they constitute one-third of the entire amount. Suppose four quarters of corn at 60s. a quarter, cost 12/., they will cost something more than 18/. when made into bread. As, then, the whole reduction must be effected in the price of the corn in the first instance, or in the 12/. item, if they reduce the price of bread one-third, it follows as a ne necessary consequence, that it must be effected by a re duction of fully one-half in the price of corn, or a re duction from 60s. to 30s. per quarter.—(Loud cries of "Hear.") Suppose the farmer and landlord to have this commodity, so reduced in price, produce an income reduced by one-half, without any alteration in the quan tity of land under cultivation, how can the predictions of these " free trade" prophets be fulfilled,—" 50 per cent. reduction in the price of corn, and neither landlord nor farmer injured !"—(Hear.) Of course, all Lord STANLEY'S hearers laughed and roared prodigiously at this fluent wit. A more candid man would have guarded them from an erroneous coneusion, by adding, that as the price of corn fell less capital would be required by the miller and the baker to carry on their business, and that a less sum of profit, though not a lower rate, would come out of every loaf. At the same time, both the miller and the baker would gain on t h e whole by carrying on a much larger' business with the same capital. Strange as it may seem to Lord STANLEY'S party optics, it is true that if the food of the community, which influencesthe price of many other things, be ob tained at a less cost, whether that arise from im proved methods of cultivation, or from bringing food from more fertile countries, the price may be reduced, even as much as 50 per cent., and both the landlord and farmer, far from suffering, may benefit by the reduction. Since 181.3, the price of food has fallen in this country 40 per cent. in spite of the law that was made to keep up wheat to 80s. per quarter. With that fall cultivation has been much extended, and both landlords and farmers have benefited by the reduction. The obvious reason is, that the food is obtained at a less cost, which is a benefit to the whole nation. It is quite plain that there are many more things in a Corn-law than ever were dreamed of by Lord STANLEY. But listen again to the Noble Lord : Suppose the rent paid for a farm to be 1001. a-year, and the produce 5001. The produce becomes reduced to 2501. by the proposed change. The landlord may lose 501. out of his rent—nay, he may lose 75/. ; but who is it that must lose the difference in the value of the prOduce, re duced from 500/. to 2501.?—(Enthusiastic cheering.) Who is to make up this loss of positive value in fixed ca pital embarked by the firmer?—(Hear, hear.) Whoi ndeed ? What fixed capital does the farmer invest in the land? He invests only the labour he extorts from the half-starved labourer, against whom, by having the supply of food, he has a monopoly. But suppose that all the farther's ex penses be lowered in the same ratio as the fall in the price ofproduce, 'suppose that the 250/. will buy as much as the 5001., will the situation of the farmer be deteriorated? Now, .it is. as easy to make one assertion as the other, and we assert,-.on,vn . good lutbority that, by tbe-re-' ductio:l of expense for seed-Corn, feeit Of working the farmer will gain more by the 1 Q, ,- • ....,•••-••, z • * • ,•-- _ "(Ali THE SUN, LONIiON:MONDAV, JULY 12, 184 L.: reduction of the cost of producing food, of which he is, by himself and by his servants, a great con- . sumer, than he will lose by the fall in the selling price of that part of his produce which he carries to market. We beg, then, to inform this really very ignorant, but really very vivacious and blustering Lord, that the fixed capital embarked by the thriller in the soil will obtain its due re• muneration after the abolition of the Corn-laws, as well as at present. Lord STANLEY goes on to assert, " as an un doubted fact, that as the price of corn falls the land will go out of tillage." He had not studied the Tamworth oration • with care when he said that, because one of Sir R. PEEL'S arguments was that cultivation was much extended, though the price of corn has fallen. But on what ground does Lord STANLEY make the assertion ? The fact is that as the price of corn falls the farmer whose liabilities remain the same, is induced to extend his cultivation, to be able to meet them. If, with the fall of price, manufactures extend, and the demand for food increases, the farmer extends his cultivation ; and we must again telt Lord STANLEY that he utters the merest, most ignorant, and common-place twaddle, with a grave face,. as if it were divine truth collected and sifted by the sages who have devoted nights and days to political science. On what ground Lord STANLEY, the Quarterly Reviewer, and a host of other equally competent persons, conclude that " whole districts," or 2,000,000 acres," will at once be thrown out of- cultivation: by the abolition of the Corn-laws, even if that were total and immediate, we can ' not conceive. ' - The authority generally referred to by them, is a statement by some Lord RUSSELL to the farmers of Bedfordshire. We have a great respect for the name, but we were not aware that his Lordship is a great authority in political eco- • nomy, and we deny the assumption. The sup , position is, that a quarter of English-grown corn will lie thrown out of the market fbr every I quarter of foreign corn imported. But every quarter of fbreign corn must be paid fur, and the permission to import it, now so unjustly with held, would of necessity set the manufacturers at work to pay for it. It is probable they would, in the first instance, produce too much, or set too many hands to work ; but the permission to import corn, would infallibly make them pro duce more manufactures than at present. Now, the whole number of fresh hands they set to work, would generate an additional demand for food, over and above the present demand. As this additional demand exceeded, as it might, the quantity of corn imported, equalled it, or fell short of it, more land might be cultivated at home, no alteration might be made in the extent of the cultivation, or some land .might be thrown out of cultivation. We beg leave to inform Lord STANLEY, who is really most ignorant of what he is most assured, that his assumption of whole districts to be thrown out of cultivation, by lowering the cost of culti vating them, is as arrant nonsense as ever entered the head even of an arrogant, self-willed Lord. A few years ago Lord STANLEY harrassed the poor tithe-payers of Ireland by sending flying ar tillery, or the waggon train, to carry off their crops. The same Noble Lord had no repugnance to coerce the whole Irish people to obedience to his own arrogant opinions. And that same unre lenting Lord, in defence of the starvation law, which he acknowledged puts money into his pocket, had the impudence —we can give his un blushing assurance no other name—to say that " free traders never take into account the cruelty of breaking.through all the old habits, the hard ship of outraging all the long-cherished feelings of the people." Cruelty indeed, to rescue the landlords' serfs, and the landlords' tax gatherers, from a degrading dependence ! But the free traders do-not desire any such thing. They de sire justice, they demand that industry should not be interfered with, and if from obtaining justice • the evil consequences which Lord STANLEY sup poses would follow, the blame be on those who like him commit the wrong, not on those who seek.lts,redress. one.point Lord STANLEY'S speech coincides marvellously with Sir RO BERT PEEL'S. Both labour to defend in justice, both bring forward all possible argu ments to support the Corn-laws, and both, there fore, convince us that the Tory Administration is to be formed on the principle of combining all the monopolists to rob and plunder the people by means of - the law. When the Tories have made the law an object of universal abhorrence, how will they enforce obedience? That-is a very important question, which they oughtto answer before they take office on the principle of com bining to maintain a great system of legal plunder. The whole of the French Journals of Friday and Sa turday have reached us. They bring very little news of any political importance. An old-womanish Tory Con temporary having hinted in the course of last week that France was founding a second Lower Canada in Africa for the future benefit of England, the Court organs have all at once become as hostile to Sir ROBERT PEEL as they were about a month ago to Lord PALMERSTON. To nettle a Frenchman you have only to ridicule the ten years' war in Africa ; and to put him beside himself, you need but express a fear that France must yet relinquish her African conquests. Parents are said to love their ricketty offspring better than such as are well favoured and healthy, on account of the trouble and anxiety it costs them to rear them ; and something of the same feeling is evin7ed by France towards Algeria, the worth of which she estimates, nut by its intrinsic value either as a military or connisereial station, but by the blood and treasure which she has wasted in obtain ing possession of some hundreds of miles of arid desert, which hitherto has only served her for a grave. The following extract from the Proclamation of the Comnattee of the Holy Land, in I'aris, in favour of the Syrian Christians, will be read with some interest. It is sinned by the Marquis de PASTORET, the Marquis de DIEUX BREZE, Vicomte WALSH, M. do GENOUDE, and several other distinguished French Royalists:— " United by sentiments of faith and attachment to the honour of our country, we have thought that it belonged to France to give to the Christians of Palestine the first testi mony of a generous sympathy, worthy of those who suffer and of those who succour, which offers relief in present circumstances and insures the futures whose efforts may be avowed, and which can encounter no obstacles, except in calculations, in which no person will venture to take part openly. We will endeavour to obtain, by prudent measures and persevering representations, by relief and arms, the ame lioration of the condition of the Christians of Palestine and Syria, the free possession of the religious edifices which be long to them, the complete guarantee of their existence ' all the liberty which is consistent with the situati on o f the East ; in short, every thing which may demonstrate in these coun tries the influence of France, ever great, useful, and generous. Christians, we come to the succour of Christians, w e a pp ea l to all those horn they call brothers, to assist us in administering this succour. Frenchmen, we call upon all who have shown that they are proud of the name, and that they are sensible of the obligations Which it imposes, to set forth the inheritance of influence and glory which belong to France." Whatever the Court organs may pretend to the' con trary, we know for certain that the .most exalted .per sonages in France sympathise deeply frith the Christian population of the East. The Queen of the' FRENCH, who is not restricted by political considerations, snakes no secret of her earnest desire to improve the condition of the Christians in every part of the Turkish empire. On the subject of the new loan we find the following paragraph in the Temps of Saturday :--- " Six principal receivers-general have determined upon joining some Faris bankers, and forming a Company to tender for a part of the now French loan. They have sent circulars to all their colleagues, announcing their intention, inviting them to join, and asking what shares they will take in their Association. We are not yet acquainted with the effect pro duced by this step, which has been denied, but which has never thel•ss been confirmed to us by persons perfectiv well informed." We have given, under a separate head, an account of the recent riots at Toulouse. _ _ _ Several of the French holders of Spanish bonds have just addreised to the Spanish Government, through the medium of its Ambassador in Paris, a memorial complaining of the con.• duct which has been adopted towards them, and soliciting , re dress. In it the following passages occur ; " We respectfully solicit, through the medium of your Exeellency, that the accumulated interest Of the active debt , may be added to the capital, offering, if necessary, , to submit to a reduction r f even one-fifth of the rate-of interest: fixed for the capital ; but in waiting for the time when the finances of Spain shall admit of the payment of the interest on thedebt, as is ~ o ne by other States, we earnestly solicit the adoption of a measure which would have the effect of giving a real valite to Spanish bonds. This measure would be, after having added the accumulated interest to the capital, to al!ow the half-yearly coupons of the interest to b e received in payment for one-half of the whole amount of any customs' duties payable to the Go vernment.

The storm which reached Paris on Sunday evening, fell with equal violence about two in:the afternoon, lasting till five, at Pont Audemer, Saint Simeon,' Selles, Tour Ville, and other communes in the Eure, breaking up the roads by the torrents it created, swelling the little river, the Sebeque, till it over flowed the meadows on its banks, destroying the whole of the hay which happened to have been cut. Two spinning-mills were very much damaged, their walls being shaken by the force of the current, the machinery displaced, and great part of the materials washed away. The consumption of meat in Paris, during the last month, amounted to 5,029 oxen, 1,738 cows, 5,5fi3 ealves, and 34,529 sheep, being a decrease of 741 oxen and 996 calve?, and an increase of 410 cows and 693 sheep, as compared with the consumption in June, 1840. During the first six months of the present year the consumption has been 35,429 oxen, 10,765 cows, 32,455 calves, and 212,155 sheep, being a de crease, as compared with the same period last yeas, of 1,272 oxen, 3,911 calves, and an increase of 1,220 cows and 4,432 sheep. The Rotten Journals state that the pastures of the Grand Couronne have lately been invaded by a pack of wol7cs, wh) have devoured five mares, anti torn in a dreadful manner seve ral more. A slumber of sheep have also been eaten up by them. The Journals add that the storm on Sunday fell with the greatest severity in the communes of the Grand and Petit Couronne. The crops were seriously damaged by the hail, which, at ten o'clock on Monday morning, was still lying on the ground. The water in the ditches was covered with ice of great thickness. At Caudebec-les-Elbeuf a ravine overflowed, and caused great damage. The Echo du Nord states the extraordinary fact that a woman of the commune of Berlaimont, in that department, ha; been twice delivered of twins within the last eight months I and a half ! The Munich Gazette publishes a note from Professor Gruithuisen, announcing that he had ascertained the exact time in which the sun makes its rotation upon its own axis. lie finds that the sideral rotation is made in 25 days, 14 hours, 54 minutes, and 5 seconds ; and its synodic rotation in 27 clays, 13 hours, 17 minutes, and 19 seconds. A mason at work, a few days ago, at a house in the Faubourg Saint Germain, found a quantity of money which had eeen concealed in the wall. The owner of the house being awoy from Paris, the honest fellow called in the Com missary of Police to take charge of the discovery. The Com missary having counted the money, which was in silver, and gold coin, ascertained that it amounted to 25,000 fr., which he sent to be deposited at the Prefecture of Police till the pro prietor of the house returned, who, we trust, will amply reward the conscientious workman for his resistance to so great a temptation. . . . Two evenings ago, a young woman, employed in a manu factory of fulminating cupsules, on the Plaine des Vertus, near the St. Denis Road, having finished a quantity of capsules and placed them in a box, was putting a mould into it, when, through some inadvertence, she cause a friction, which exploded the whole of the capsules. A fragment of the box was driven against her breast, and wounded her so violently, that she died almost instantaneously. Other fragments struck another woman at some distance, and injured her in several places so severely that it became necessary to carry her to the hospital of Saint Louis, where, however, she is likely to be saved. ROBBERIES AT THE TUILLERIES.—For some time past the officers of the Palace have reputedly missed portions of gold fringe, the covers of chairs, and even valuable curtains, and other articles of price, from different ap trtments. All endea vours to detect the thief were ineffectual, until two days ago, when, through measures taken under the personal direction of Baron Athalin, Governor of the Palace, a man employed in attending the fires was caught in the act of concealing under his clothes a silver gilt candlestick. Being brought before a Commissary of Police, he at once confessed that he had taken all that was missing, and gave the names of three receivers, to whom he had sold the articles for trifling sums. The abodes of these men were immediately searched, and such large quan tities of stolen goods found in their possession, that it re quired a full• sized cart to bring them away. The thief and receivers are all committed for trial. M. Boitens, a medical student, died two days ago, after a week of intense suffering, from the result of a slight wound. in flicted by his knife, whilst dissecting a body. Three days after the accident the arm, the hand of which he had cut, and into which some of the virus of the dead body had been received, became dreadfully inflarnrd, and the disease soon made such progress as to baffle every attempt to relieve the sufferer. M. Delaroche, responsible editor of the National, sen tenced, on March 8, to pay a fine of 10,000 f., and to be im prisoned for a month, surrendered himself on 'I hursdoy, to undergo the last part of the judgment; but, as he is still in a weak state of health, the Prefect of Police has granted him permission to pass the term of his imprisonment in a liaison de Sante, at l,ha►llot. THE EARTHQUAKE.—The shocks of earthquake felt at Paris, on Sunday night, were perceived with greater force in the centre of France. At Nevers, Bourges, Pontlevoy, San.. cerre, Tours, and the surrounding districts, the shocks were felt with much force, just at the came time as in Paris, half-past twelve, and again in some localities at a little before four. The same storm that fell over the capital visited a considerable part of France. A rumbling noise is said to have been heard in most spots, attending the oscillations of the ground. At Or leans, on the same evening, about eight o'clock, a violent whirlwind passed over the town, and the evening was dark and stormy until midnight, when the-horizon began to clear up, with occasional lightning._ At this time there was not the slightest wind. At a quarter before one on Monday morning, three . shocks of an- earthquake roused the in habitants from their sleep, and occasioned great alarm. They Lsucceeded each other at intervals, of from 30 to thirty-five seconds. The first, which was the most violent, had the effect of a violent motion from cast to west ; the two others wete from north "to south. The third in particular lasted a pretty long time, and many persons who were I)ing in their beds, placed in the direction of east to west, felt them move five or six, times. Those, on the contrary, whose beds were placed in the direction north te south, felt their heads and feet rise and fall with great rapidity. This last shock had a noise like that of a heavily laden carriage passing over pave ment et a distance. A short time afterwards a violent wind arose, and was followed by torrents of rain. At three in the morning the storm was over, but another shock of earthquake was experienced. This was in the direction of north to south, but was less violent. The shocks were felt in all the com munes near Orleans, but with the exception of the derange ment of small articles of furniture, and some slight cracking, no evidence remained of them. It is a remarkable fact that all the insane patients of the Asylum at Orleans passed the night in a state of extreme agitation and irritation. A correspondent at Boulogne writes, that there was so strong a-gale of wind in the channel, on Wednesday night, that the Magnet steamer, which ought to have arrived that evening, did not enter the harbour till half-past twelve yester day. While a coachman was waiting to convey the passengers up the town, he perceived a fire breaking out in the apartment of Lieutenant Andrieu, of the Customs, in the third floor of a house at the corner of the Rue Pied Gallard. This was be tween one and two in the morning. By his promptitude in calling up the Mayor and other authorities the firemen were almost immediately on the spot, and saved the town from a dis aster which would otherwise have been extensive, on account of the force of the wind. As it was, the flames destroyed the upper parts of three houses adjoining before they could be sub dued. The accident is said to have been occasioned by a fe male servant suffering her candle to catch her bed-clothes. Fortunately, there is no loss of lives to deplore, though the de struction of property is considerab'e. BELGIAN CoeterEacE —lt appears, by an account of the return of the movement of the Belgian ports for 1840, that the number of vessels which entered Antwerp in that sear was 1,173, measuring 180,63'2 tons, and the number which left the port 1,151, measuring 163,306 tons. The imports by sea into Antwerp amounted to 120,902,770 fr., being neatly twenty three millions more than in 1839. The general movement of arrivals and departure-s at Ostend was 753 vessels, measuring 76,015 tons; Ghent, 285 vessels, giving a total of 27,486 tons; Louvain, 132 vessels, 9,576 tons ; Mieuport, 204 vessels, 5,994 tons. The general result of the five ports was 3,591 vessels, measuring 463,069 tons, being 61 vessels and 49,429 tons less than in 1839. The imports by sea into Ostend amounted to 9,338,557 fr. ; Nieuport, 3,904,141 fr. ; Louvain, 472,300 fr. ; Ciheut, 20,294,777 fr. The total amount of the imports, for the five ports, was 155,472,605 fr. The imports of cotton amounted to 13,019,900 fr. (7,794,740 fr. more than in 1839). Of this amount 10,955,540 fr. was from the United States, 1,957,000 fr. from England, and 263,360 fr. from France. The total amount of the imports from France was 6,972,230 fr. less than in 1839, but on wines there was an increase of 1,493,360 fr. A correspondent of the Augsburgh Gazette writes from Belgrade on the 27th ult.:—" Hafiz, Pacha of Erzeroum, and Khosrew Paella have lately attended sittings of the Divan, and had conferences with the Ministers on the subject of a reor ganization of the army. The cessation of the exile of Khosrcw Pacha is attributed to the intervention of the Russian Ambas sador. This, if true, proves the increasing influence of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh over.that of Constantinople, which will be the more confirmed should Khosrew be again admitted to participate in the management of. state affairs. The revolt in Candle is considered by the Sultan , to have been the work of France, whose enemies give this interpretation to the mission of M. Piscatory into Greece. These. circumstances have in • the discredit into which France had previously fallen with the Divan." - . A Correspondent at Athens, writes to the Univers, on. the 20th ult., that it was in consequence of the King of Greece refusing to accede to part of M. Mavrocordato's pro gramme, that skis statesman refused to accept office. At one time it was thought his Majesty would have accepted the whole programme, but it is understood that an objection raised to the dismissal of the Council of Referendaries, which is principally composed of Bavarian Councillors, which was strongly de manded by M. Mavrocordato, led to the breaking off of nego tiations. Another letter, in the Temps, says that several German volunteers have gone to join the insurgents in Caridia, and that a reinforcement of from 460 to 500 Mainotes had reached the island. The Augsburgh Gazette says, " The late victory of the Russian troops in Gaghesttn, whereby they gained the village of Tscherkef, cost them many live's, as the mountaineers made a most obstinate resistance, and their assailants only won the day by repeatedly bringing up fresh reinforcements.' The P /tare des Pyrenees, of the 7th, has the following ar ticle consequence of the fresh instructions addressed to the Prefect of the Department, by the Minister of the Interior, a pretty considerable number , of priests and Carlist refugees have just received orders to quit the Arrondissement of Bayonne, and to move to a distance from the frontier. Mon. signori Adriana, Bishop of Painpeluna, and M. de Arellano, Vice-Nuncio of the Pope, at Madrid, who has resided at Bayonne for some months, have received passports for the in terior of the kingdom. " According to letters from Madrid of the 3d, in the even ing, the two Spanish Chambers were to meet on the sth or 6th, in order to appoint a Guardian to the Queen.

M. liaradero the French Co:isul-General at Monte Video, has just arrived ,at javre, en hoard the Louisa.: Maria ; during his absence, M. Arsine Isabella will exercise the functions of Consul." We find the following article in the La-usanne Gazette of the Gth of July : " The King of Sardinia, taking advantage of the remissness of France in extending. its commercial relati oas with French Switzerland, is preparing to deprive it of the greater.part of the advantages of the transit trade between the Mediterranean and Geneva, by having an iron railway made in: the territory of Savoy, by which goods will be conveyed speedily and cheaply from the neighbourhood of Lyons to Geneva, ,And vice versa.

The triumphant return of Lord Worsley North Lincolnshire, far a-head of the Tories, has given a fresh impetus to the already unpa ralleled burst of spontaneous feeling - in favour of Mr. Handley, in the south of that great agricul tural county. From all parts the returns on Sa T turday were most cheering, and little doubt re mains of a glorious triumph over the faction who wish to ride roughshod over the country in both sections of this comity. We hope every voter who resides in London, or within reach of his polling-place, and has not yet gone to record his vote, will do so instantly. The poll opens this (Monday) morning, and will close to-morrow (Tuesday) afternoon at four. Not a vote should be lest. MONEY and COYIMERCIA L NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

On the 30111 ultimo, a quantity of Exchequer Bills and notes of the old paper currency, amounting together to 194 contos, or 4,4001., were cancelled and destroyed at the Treasury. (For further iarticulars, we refer our readers to another part of our paper.) The packet ship England has passed Holyhead, and will bring New York papers two days later.

SUMMARY OF ilgt 4 l itia A N ttbitr Optittoit. " Who runs may read." AgROAD - FOUEIGIT-COLONIAL. The Villa da Praia at Terceira has been utterly destroyed by a series of earthquakes, which shook it tremendously for three or four days. So the Ando rinha cutter of war brings intelligence. The appointment of M. Mahul to the Prefecture of the Upper Garonne led to a slight cmeute at Toulouse on the Gth instant. Fortunately no lives were lost. The particulars will be found in another column. The dis turbance originated in what Lord Castlereagh called " an ignorant impatience of taxation"—a popular disease et this moment very generally prevalent in other countries as well as in France.. The French Committee of the Holy Land and Syria have issued a proclamation inviting Christians of all nations to co-operate in the emancipation of the Christian inhabitants of the East. To this document is attached the names of several distinguished legitimists. -- A letter from Vienna of the 2d inst. states that the Porte was so pleased with the promptitude with which Mehemet Ali had forwarded the first instalment of the tribute, that orders had been given for forwarding a new firman to the Pacha, reducing the annual tribute for Egypt from 80,000 purses (400,000/.) to 50,000 purses (250,0001.) —lt was reported at Vienna on the 2d instant that Lord Ponsonby, now that the Eastern question is virtually settled, may be shortly expected in Eng land. There are noblemen whom, for the most opposite reasons, we never wish to part with, and Lord Ponsonby is one of them. Some we would retain among ul because they do snore good at home than elsewhere ; others, because they are less mischievous. Lord Pon sonby belongs to the latter class. The Spanish Government has ordered 10,000 troops to be in readiness at Malaga, to embark fur Africa, to punish the insurgent garrison at Alhucemas. Such energy is praiseworthy. The Portuguese Government is - about to increase the import duty on foreign goods and manufactures, with the absurd view of protecting- native industry. The increase 'on the present duties will vary fi'om 33 to 11 per cent. By this notable scheme Portugal hopes to rid he rself of English woollen goods, Scotch shawls, and Irish butter. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. The Portuguese Legislature will but increase the smuggler's gain at the • expense of the honest trader. The smug gler's best friend is the monopolist. The Portuguese war cutter Andorinha, sent to the Azores to look for the President, has heard nothing of that ill-fated vessel. The steamer supposed by the Captain of the Conde de Patina to be the President, has turned out to be the French war steamer Tonnerre, which arrived at Fayal on the Ist of May. In the Canton of Tessino, in Switzerland, a riot took place on, the Ist inst., in which ten peasants were killed and several wounded. The object of the rioters was to dissolve the present Government of the Canton.. The brother of the King of Prussia was so severely injured by the closing of a window, by a gust of wind, against his shoulder, that it was found necessary to bleed him twice ; a severe fever ensued, from which his loyal Highness is now recovering. The number of passengers landed at Ostend, from England, by the steam-packets, during the last month, was 714, and the number of those who sailed for Eng land, from the same port, 597. AT HOME--MISCEMMAZIEOUS. The Devonport Independent states that the popula tion of Plymouth has increased 5,443 in the last ten years. Alluding to the Tory prospects, the Devonport In dependent observes, shall not in the least regret to find the Liberals acting in opposition ; necessity will unite them firmly, and they will derive energy from the aroused feeling of the country, another appeal to which must speedily be made." The Aberdeen Herald, speculating on the nature of Sir R. Peel's budget, says, " We should infer that he will either raise the postage to the uniform rate of two pence per half-ounce, or, follovving the old Tory policy, contract for a loan. Intelligent men will be at no loss to predict what will be the state of matters twelve months hence." We learn bp the Glasgow Herald that it is intended shortly to invite Mr. Dickens to a public dinner at Glas- gow. The Scotsman. alluding to the prospects of the Tory party, justly observes The important practical re sult which every individual of the Liberal interest throughout the empire should lay to heart is this—that even if Peel be compelled by his party to attempt the reins of power, he cannot possibly, with the present Par liament, retain power for a twelvemonth. Let every man therefore register without delay." 'A Birmingham Paper states that the population of that town has increased 25 per cent. on the census of 1831. A dreadful fire took place on Saturday, near the Deptford terminus of the Greenwich railway. Four houses were destroyed, and many others damaged. All the Norfolk and East county papers state that the rains have wonderfully improved the wheat and bar ley crops. The Norwich Mercury says, "An agricultur ist on whom we can rely, assures us that his barleys have risen twelve inches in ten days!" Mr. Gomorde, at the Cheltenham dinner, thus sea tentially deliv;red himself :—" Talk of the distress brought on by Liberal measures. Look back on Tory times. Remember the distress among the agriculturists in 1817, and the representations then made. Remember how the Blanketeers were about to march to London, with a view to redress their grievances. Remember the burnings of 1830." Lord Segrave, speaking at the late Berkely dinner, at Cheltenham, said that the Tories resisted every in quiry into the necessity of, or the application of, Church rates, and related the following humourous circum stance, which filled him with a strong impression that some inquiry into these rates was necessary. " A friend of mine," said his Lordship in the House of Commons, " requested me to present a petition . to the House o!' Lords, from a parish in the neighbourhood, against Church-rates, and, among other allegations in the peti tion, they stated that one year one of the items in the Churchwardens' account was, twenty pounds for killing sparrows ! " It is a singular fact," says the Brighton Herald, " that all the chimney-sweepers at Brighton voted for the Tory"—Toryism must be highly flattered at having supporters with hands as clean as its own, and who deal, as largely as itself, in smoke! LAW AND POLICE. The deposition of Mr. Dyer from the bench of Magistrates, appears from the Lord Chancellor's and Mr. Edmond's letters, to be solely on the score of indiscre tion. The explicit answer of the latter gentleman sets Mr. Dyer before the public in a clear light. " I have no objection (writes Mr. Edmond) that on the occasion alluded to in your letter (viz, the private investigation). nothing occurred injurious to your honour or character nor did I infer that you were to derive any advantage or, emolument from the transaction ; my impression was that your motives were those of humanity."
