Upwards of six hundred clergymen are ex :)ected to attend the Anti-Corn-law Conference -.-which will be held to-morrow at Manchester. tlis movement of the clergy, and more espe riztlly of the Dissenters, in favour of the famish '::.g poor, has quite alarmed the Tories. They ;feet to be shocked at the idea of priests trou iling themselves about the things of this world, ad remind them that religion, not politics, em '•races the sphere of their duties. The Tories ..an see a mote in a brother's eye, but they ..annot discern the beam in their own. The 'assembling of priests at Manchester to advocate rlie repeal of one bad law shocks them, but they can see no impropriety in a number of priests meeting at a house of ill -repute in Westminster, to enact scores of bad laws every year. What -xcites horror when done at a Conference in Manchester, is applauded in the House of Lords. What is rank irreligion in the Curate, is piety in ;ire Bishop. Now, if priests are to be ex - Auded from all intermeddling with politics, let the reform begin where—so far as the religious principle is concerned—the scandal is greatest—with the Episcopal Benc h . One set of • ' 2 insist riests have as much - right to upon the re ,eal of a law as another set can have to enact it. 'Me Gospel authorises no distinction here; nor can any honest or consistent man make any. To throw discredit upon the meeting at Manches ter, we must begin by removing the Bishops from the House of Lords. But if there be in the whole range of ethics one question connected with politics which a priest is justified in regarding wholly in a reli g;ous light, it is this of the Corn-laws. To feed Lire hungry is a Christian duty; to starve the poor, whether by bad laws or otherwise, a Heinous offence against GOD and man. And who •are so frequently eye-witnesses of the dreadful effects of these starvation-laws, as. the working clergy ? In the faithful discharge of their pas toral duties they are brought in perpetual con tact with the thousands who are daily perishing gain want of bread in all the large cities aild towns throughout the Kingdom. The cries of the hungry are daily ringing in their cars ; they are familiar with those dens of misery into which•a bread-taxing oligarchy drives the fam ished artizan to hide himself, that he may die out of sight. They.know the dark thoughts and darker deeds which starvation engenders in the desperate wretches whom the Corn-laws have doomed to hopelels penury. They must be sensible that four-fifths of the crimes pre vailing among the poor, have their origin io hunger produced by dear bread. No wonder, then, that some of the most :uinent Dissenting clergymen regard the re ;:cal of Ce Corn-laws as a duty which religion, iglrtly understood, imposes in an especial man : se upon the priesthood. The Corn-laws starve -ate roor, and make them discontented and irre y;ious. They are therefore in the highest Le pTe immoral an d i mp i ous. Now it i s i le duty of the priests towhat ever makes 'oppose Inuit bad, as not only per :•iciou of s y to society, but as cont rary to t h e GOD. voluntary Thee fasts of the rich are 11'.!iitnes very commendable, and very healthy; but the compulsory fasts of the poor are alike in ! jurious to the health of soul and body. The Irish people have been long celebrated for the fidelity of their attachments, and their gratitude to those who treat them kindly. We are not, therefore, surprised at the impassioned feeling displayed in Dublin last week, at a large meeting convened for the purpose of testifying the gratitude of the Irish people to Lord Mon- PETH for his useful labours in behalf of that ca lumniated and long-oppressed nation. The first Peer of Ireland was in the chair, and he was supported by the first men in the country, all anxious to show their gratitude to a man alike distinguished by his private and his public virtues, and distinguished in that country, above all other Secretaries, by the humane, the generous, and firm conduct which he displayed in performing the duties of an office so beset with difficulties. We may safely say that no Irish Secretary ever gave such universal satisfaction as Lord MORPETH. No Orangeman ever complained of his conduct. Mr. O'CONNELL on one occasion did, but at the meeting he made ample amends for his hasty remarks; and at the conclusion one universal opinion prevailed as to the beneficial effects of the policy adopted by Lord MORPETH. " Two-thirds Of the Representatives of Ireland," said one of the speakers, "would be willing, and they would have the consent of their constituents, to resign in his favour." This statement was received with loud cheers, and will be cheered through out nearly the whole of Ireland. We do not envy his successor. Bayonets and guns, and troops of cavalry and long lines of infantry, are, after all, feeble means for pre serving the peace of a country compared with mild and'conciliatory measures. This system was commenced by Lord NORMANDY, it has been fol lowedup by Lord EBRINGTON and Lord MORPETH, and we fear will be looked back to with painful and perhaps angry feelings when their successors come into office. It will be seen from the Re port of the meeting, that a resolution was adopted, inviting Lord MORPETH to a public dinner. We cannot conceive any occasion on which the guest would be so welcome or the en tertainers so anxious to do him honour. The Tory organs have all taken to preaching up the Church, and crying down the Dissenters. Their Bible is the Thirty-nine Articles, and their text a homily. They treat all who refuse to listen to them as little better than infidels, and they insinuate that if they do not call them by that odious appellation, they are restrained more by good breeding than by any scruple of conscience respecting its being unmerited. Now we cannot consent to let' the Tories brand with infidelity that very large pro portion of the people of England whom the corruptions and abuses of the Establizhed Church forced to retire from its communion. The people of England are pr•e-eminently a religious people. Their imagination is not worked upon by tangible objects like the Italians; they have not the quick sensibilities of the French; the Scotch exceed them in a headlong zeal, and the Irish in an undiscriminating enthusiasm; but in that deep conviction of religious truths which regulates the moral conduct and the moral sen timents—which influences not the feelings and the imagination but the judgment, the heart, and all that proceeds from them—no people eve] surpassed the English. Their religion is a prin ciple, not a passion ; they believe from conviction and from the innate desire to supply a moral want, not from the craving of an appetite for strong excitement like our continental neigh bours; and hence the rapidity with which the Reformation overspread England.. Religious shows, and processions, and image-worship, and pilgrimages to shrines, to chapels, and to holy wells, while they shocked their moral senseovere not wanted to keep alive their devotional feelings. The first Reformers, therefore, in attacking these outworks of Popery, had no trouble in convincing the people of the holiness of their mission. While they pulled down the fabric of supersti tion with one hand, they held out the New Tes tament with the other, inviting all men to judge from its sacred pages the amplitude of their com mission from the mouth of CHRIST SO to act in his service. In the calm judgment of the people of England they found a ready and an approving response. The New Testament became to them the only rule of faith, and private judgment— that judgment to which the Reformers appealed , against the absurd and impious pretensions of Rome—its only interpreter. Now, it is because the people of England are a pre-eminently religious people—because religion is with them a principle, and not an excitable im pulse—because they presume to beguided by the doctrines of the New Testament—because they display that hostility to ecclesiastical pride, pre sumption, rapine, and sluggishness in the LORD'S vineyard, which induces such hireling recreants as the Times, and such pro-Popery bigots as the Standard, to brand large bodies of them with the odious epithets of atheists and infidels. The pro gress of Dissent from the Church of England at tests the condemnation of that Church by the public judgment, and the deep religious con victions of the people, who seek in other wells for the living waters of eternal life. When they grow dissatisfied with the apos- tolical labours of the Most Reverend Father in GoD, his Grace the Lord Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, or the Right Reverend Father in GOD the Lord Bishop of LONDON, they do not cast their Bibles from them from any conscientious dread that a comparison of the lives of the RE DEEMER and his Apostles, with those of these meek, and holy, and self-denying Prelates, would fill them with despair for the injustice of which they had been guilty in rejecting the ministry of the Right Rev. saints-militant. The farther they re m o v e from the splendo urs o f Anglican Episcopacy, the closer do they press the sacred volume to their hearts. In wending their way to what the pride of State-Religion calls the Conventicle, they hold in their hands that inextinguishable torch which was a light to a f ony x . , the eyes an d a gu i de to the feet of LUTHER, of MELA ' Re l f f o t r nil:n t CT ,i t io and all the great Ap os tl es o f th e the Church, the Tories mean the religion of the Gospel, there is small need to call upon the people of England have always supported to support it. They it, and they support it now with undiminished zeal. But if, by the Church, the Torie s mean * Archbishops and Bishops, Deans and Chapters fear a it will b e necessary to take t h e ir Bibles out of the hands of nd and Prebendaries co mpulsory tithes and Church-rates, u rc F h l - u ra ra te li s t , ie w s 'e the people, and to make the exercise of private • d gment a capi tal offence, before they can be brought to stir a step in its support. With the Scriptures in their hands, it will be impossible to persuade them that the REDEEMER shall have shed one drop less blood for the sins of the world because Dr.-PHIle. POTTS ceases to be a Peer, and the successors of fishermen and tent-makers no longershare titles, and honours, and palaces with Kings. The Time s , a short while ago, called for a new translation of the Bible. We are astonished such a cry was not raised by the Bishops two centuries past. Though made by themselves, the ,common authorised version is so little favourable to the Christianity exhibited in their lives, that it might be taken for the production of the Society of Friends. Not a word is there in it about the enthronement of their Right Reverend Fatherships in God the Lords Bishops PETER, and PAUL, and TIMOTHY, and Trrus, and the other Right Reverend Members of the Apostolo-Episcopal Bench. The inspbed recorder of the Acts of the Apostles has, in the authorised version, omitted a description of their palaces, there glebes, their princely revenues, their sena torial honours, their trains of attendants, and their distinctive liveries. In any new transla tion of the Scriptures advocated by the Church of England, as r • epresented by the clergy, it will be necessary to supply these omissions if it be 'THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1841. lintended to enlist in its support the great bulk of the honest English Dissenters. The present version of the New Testament and the Bishops cannot command co-ordinate reverence from the same believer. To be guided by the Bible is to give up the law-constituted Bishop, and much of what is adhered to most tenaciously by the law established Church. We, of course, allude par ticularly to those secular advantages which the State confers upon the Bishops and the Church, and which the Bishops claims to be part and parcel of religion. We are every day hearing of the want of new churches, and of new Bishops, but never of the want of Dissenting Ministers and places of wor ship. This shows that it is within the Established Church the least true religion is to be found. When the Dissenter wants a church or a teacher, he provides both in silence ; but the Protestant of the law-established sect looks to Parliament and the pockets of his neighbours for the regal site supply of spiritual consolation. Of the two, who is the more combined with the Gospel spirit—the believer who builds his own church and pays his own teacher; or he who compels his unbelieving neighbours to do these things for him? Of the teachers who is the more apostolical—he who leaves his hire to be regulated by the recipients of his labour, by the voluntary attendants upon his ministry ; or he who never opens his mouth till he has stipulated for a fixed compulsory re ward, to which the absent objects of his bitter est contumely must contribute equally with his hearers ? As those Journals which call them selves the friends of the Church, have taken the field against Dissenters, under the auspices of PEEL and the Tories, it becomes imperative upon us, as friends of the people, to unmask their hypocrisy, and place the object of their championship in a proper light before the country. We have said that there is no want of religion in England. Before we have done with this question we hope to be able to demon strate that there is too much of it : and too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, for the Tories to hope to enlist them under the banners of Church and State Episcopacy, with its countless abuses. The manifesto of the Spanish Government, in answer to the Papal allocution, is a most impressive document. If it find a ready re sponse in the hearts of the Spanish people, the mind-enslaving sceptre of Rome is fbr ever broken in the Peninsula. It strips the Papacy of the hypocritical mask under the guise of which rebellion was fostered in Spain,;---it makes known the pains taken by the POPE to conceal from the people the crimes of the Spanish clergy, by invoking restrictions upon the freedom of the press—and it defines those limits between the temporal and the spiritual power which, if rigidly adhered to by the Spanish Government, will effectually check future irregularities from preposterous pretensions on the part of the Holy See. In fact, it completely turns the tables upon the POPE, whom it proves to have aided and encouraged all the attempts )f Dun CARLOS upon the crown of Queen IsA BELLA and the liberties of the Spanish people. While ESPARTERO describes the allocution as a " new brand" cast by the Father of the Faithful upon the half-extinguished flame of civil strife, he reminds his Holiness, with caustic severity, that the " times of odious memory" are no more, Alien a menace from the Vatican could " shake the earth." If the Consistory at Rome was not composed of bigots, whose fanatical zeal denied diem the exercise of common sense, they would nave long since discovered, and have impressed .tpon the POPE, the still more disagreeable but sa lutary fact, that the times have gone by when Rome could with impunity menace any Govern-. went. The power of the POPE rests upon associa_ dons and. recollections, which difttirpcur i ii the attempt to test their potency. When challenged, the wrath of Rome becomes either a phantom or a grotesque absurdity. An old pedagogue threatening full-grown men with the chastisements which he inflicted upon them when children under his tuition, would cut as for midable a figure as the Bishop of ROME, threaten ing the nations of Europe in the nineteenth cen tury with those thunders of the Vatican which sJ terrified them in the fourteenth and fifteenth. ESPARTERO can render no service to Spain more important than that of subjectiig the eccle siastical to the civil power. The Spanish Church stands in need of a complete reform, and the present is an excellent occasion for beginning this good work. Four-fifths of the clergy are men either ofimmoral lives or so scandalously ignorant as to be scarcely qualified to perform their priestly functions. Many who daily read their breviaries could as easily fly as they could translate their diurnal recitations. Instances of such ignorance are indeed quite common in Spain. These men are, naturally enough, the sworn foes of a free press, and of every plan of popular education. They have sense enough to know that even the inviolable sanctity with which, in the opinion of all orthodox Roman Catholics, ordination has invested their persons, would not save them from contempt and ridicule were the simplest elements of literary knowledge accessible to the vliole of the people of Spain. Heresy in the mouths of these persons means a knowledge of the arts of reading and writing, and this, like the "No Pop'ery" cry in England, is sure to be raised by the fanatics against the REGENT for having entered the lists of controversy with the POPE. If then the public voice of Spain support ESPARTERO in issuing the manifesto, of which a portion is given in another column, there is an en,i, as we before observed, of the Papal power in the _Peninsula. The whole of the French Journals o'f Friday and Saturday have been received. The Debats returns to the subject of ESPARTERO'S reply to the manisfesto of the ex-Regent, which it s vg matizes as a feeble and inconclusive production, and contends that Queen CHRISTINA was drivel from Spain by an act of rebellion in which the present Regent was'' an actor. From abuse of ESPARTERO the Debats proceeds to abuse Eng land, whose merchants are represented as little I better than a gang of smugglers. The Debats denies that a conspiracy exists at the Tuileries for restoring Queen CHRISTINA, but clearly in- I timates that such an event would give great pleasure in that quarter. The Constituti:onnel soundly taxes the Government with a want of patriotism in not turning the presence of CHRISTINA in Paris to more profitable as count in the Peninsula. This Journal avol vs with shameless unscrupulosity, that by play ing her cards well now France may becoms: all powerful in Spain. In replacing CHRISTINA on the Throne of Spain as Regent, France would have a creature of Louis PHILIPPE at the head of Spanish affairs. The National would support ESPARTERO if he could but be brought to quarrel with England or establish a National Conven tion. The National's grand panacea for every distemper of the body politic, is an equality effected by the action of the guilotine. The only popular digestible pills in the opinion of that organ of Democracy, are the heads of the Aristocracy. _ _ The Minister of Finance has addressed a long and temperately written circular to the Prefects of the different departments of the kingdom, on the subject of the census. He sets out by telling them that the general census now ordered of buildings, doors, and windows, is not only re quired by the law of 1838, but is necessary to enable the tax-collectors to levy upon each domicile the fair proportion of rates. That the information too is wanted by the Chambers, in order that the Legislature may know what addi tion taxes to impose, or what taxes to modify or abolish, if found to press too heavily upon the people. Without such details the new assessment would be neither just nor equitable. The Circular concludes by an assurance from the Minister that no new taxes would be levied, nor any change made in the collection of those now raised, without the consent of the Cham bers first constitutionally had and obtained. It is a pity that a document so well calculated to soothe the national irritation was not pub lished sooner. The following extracts from the Paris journals include all the miscellaneous news they contain of any general interest. The Journal de Liege states that on M. Thiers ar riving at Cologne, some young men of that town deter mined to sing under his window the spirited patriotic song of " No, the French shall never have the Rhine !" by Bekker, composed by him last autumn, when M. Thiers was meditating a war with Europe. The police, however, without positively forbidding it, remonstrated with the parties in question, and prevailed on them, though with difficulty, to lay aside their project. A letter from Blidah mentions that on the 27th ult. a party of 100 Arab horsemen came over the ditch and boundary raised by the French for preventing their in cursions, and caused the troops of the garrison to make an immediate sortie. The Arabs shot a French soldier, and retired without loss. The following letter from Crete, of July 16, is pub lished in the Constitutionnel :—" The Christians not wishing to accept terms from Tahir or Mustapha, have shut themselves up in the gorges of Mont Ida ; and up to the 19th all the attempts of the Albanians to force them in their fastnesses, 'failed. But the Christians have met with just as bad success in the plain. As late as the 10th, Vassyli, in endeavouring to take a maga zine of arms at Provaxma, was beaten. The President Choretis writes to Nauplia that Verty had sent 2,500 muskets, but kept a certain number, with the intention of taking an island, or landing in Cyprus. Tahir Pacha is able, and defeats every attempt of the Greeks to fire his ships." A few days since a lunatic of Saint Rymer, in Cal vados, in one of his paroxysms, opened his body with a_ scythe blade, and with every demonstration of self-sa tisfaction continued to tear out and cut up his entrails, until he was seized and prevented. Notwithstanding the serious injuries he has received, hopes are entertained of saving his life. The Commission of Prisons of • Rouen has an nounced to the prisoners the pardons and commutations granted by the King on the occasion of the anniversary of his accession to the throne. Five men, a woman, and a young girl have obtained the remission of the whole of their sentences, and another female tW remission of six months of her term of imprisonment. A letter from Rome supplies the following details of the lamentable consequences of the scene which took place after the 20th ult. A woman and two children were found dead on the ground, eight were mortally wounded, eighty-nine had severe wounds, which have not proved mortal, ten had limbs broken, and 587 received bruises and other injuries. When the people were cleared away from the spot, there were found upon it 479 men's hats, 99 of which belonged to abbes and other ecclesias tics ; 89 short cloaks belonging to abbes, and two monk's frocks; 180 women's caps and bonnets, and ten reticules and purses. The Journal de Toulouse states that a few days since a waggon, with ten horses, set out from the Fau bourg St. Michael, of that town, for the Hotel de Ville. It was ornamented with branches of poplar and weeping willow, and contained the muskets of the National Guard of that faubourg. Each horse was ridden by a man of the faubourg, and on the fore-part of the waggon stood a man holding a musket, muzzle downwards, and a long piece of black crape suspended from the stock. The waggon went to its destination, where the muskets were given up with much order, but the bearer of the musket with the crape was taken up on a charge of having been actively engaged in the recent disturbances. The Prince de Montfort, Jerome Bonaparte, arrived on the Bth inst. at Frankfort, from Stuttgardt. The marriage of the Princess Marie of Arenberg to the Prince Marco Aldobrandini took place in the church of Heverle, in Belgium, on Monday morning, with great ceremony. The Augsburg Gazette states that all the Polish pro perty of Prince Constantine Czartoryski has been re cently put up to sale at Warsaw. The Constitationnel states that a lamentable suicide has just been committed at Fontainbleau, where a widow, named Pierchon, aged 80, her son 64, and her daughter 62, to relieve themselves from the state of dis tress and misery to which they had been reduced, shut themselves up in a room, and produced death by suffoca tion from charcoal. -- For some time past workmen have been engaged in boring an Artesian well at Haguenau (13as -Rhin). A few days ago, after having gone to a depth of 290 metres (nearly 900 feet), the boring instrument entered a bed of salt clay, and, immediately on withdrawing it, the water rose to the surface. Although mixed with the springs of fresh water met with in the course of the boring, the water at the surface was as salt as that of the sea. On being analysed it was found to contain 27 grammes (nearly an English ounce) of salt per litre or quart, with some traces of iron and bromium. The Municipal Council, on whose account the work has been I _ _ perform s ed, intend to line the well with a copper tube, so as to isolate the salt spring : when this shall have been done, the water will be much more saline than it is now. Even in its present state it is said to be superior to that of the baths of Carlsruhe and Wiesbaden. A few days ago, as a servant in a family at Mons, was entering with a lighted candle a cellar,,. in which a quantity of ecrals had been recently placed, which had been kept shut, an explosion took place, and she was severely burnt in the face, The windows of the shop over the cellar were broken. It appears that, in this instance, the coals had . given out a quantity of gas in their unignited state, a circumstance which is of rare occurrence. The Senate of Frankfort has forbidden the papers of that city from publishing the prices of the funds on Sundays. The manufactures of the city of Lyons consume annually 1,000,000 kilogrammes (2,000,0001 b.) of silk spun in different ways. It requires four cocoons, to pro duce one gramme of silk, and consequently, the con sumption at Lyons alone amounts to 4,400,200,000 co coons, each of which upon an average measures 500 me tres or yards. Thus the silk-thread used in Lyons in one year, if joined in a continued line, would be equal to 14 times the distance of the earth from the sun, and .and 5,494 times that of the earth from the moon, and 52,505 times the circumference of the earth at the equa tor, and 1,000 times the circumference of the moon. There are now in the roadstead of Toulon, the Friedland, 120, Jupiter, 84, Triton, 80, and Marengo, 80, besides other smaller vessels of war. A Toulon paper mentions that an officer, lately returned from Africa to that town, and lodging on the 4th floor of an hotel in the Place de Foin, became at tacked with mental alienation , and fancied himself con stantly pursued by Arabs. A few mornings since he went to the window, and by his agitation and noise ex cited the attention of the people of the house, but before any one could get into the room, he had thrown himself out, and fallen upon the balcony of the first floor, front, ing the street. He was carried to the hospital, with both his thighs broken, and otherwise so sevely injured that' no hopes of his life are entertained. A Vienna Correspondent writes, on the 3d inst., that two houses of that capital, of the first order, whoso names, however, are not given, are threatened with a flute similar to that of Messrs. Steiner, Geymuller, and others. It is added that the main cause of the financial crisis in Austria is, that the bankers, hoping for a totally pacific termination of the Eastern question, had specu lated largely for a rise, 'but the continuance of troubles in Bulgaria, and the still unsettled condition of Syria, have kept prices down, and occasioned enormous deficits. Various rumours were afloat in the Austrian capital as to the occurrence of troubles in several portions of the Turkish dominions, and the merchants of Trieste and Venice had applied to Government for some more light vessels to be despatched into the Archipelago and the Levant, to aid Admiral Bandiera in putting down the Greek pirates. Out of the 1,629 young men last drawn and ac cepted, for the army, from Paris and the Banlieue, 1,389 are able to read and write, 36 can read but not write, and 204 cannot do either. In addition to the above, 1,050 were drawn, but of these 261 were rejected as not being of sufficient height, and 789 on account of in firmities. - "Thee Journal de Lot et Garonne says, " Serious dis orders have just broken out at St. Livrade, on occasion of ti: n Census being . taken,' It is stated that but for the f the municipal authorities and the firmness of courage 0 of Taxes, who was charged with the the Comptro l er po cid . ace would have committed deplorable operation, the excesses. On intell: once of this arriving at Agen, the : prefect took immediate I. neasures for repressing the atdis order." The Memorial of .gen sap that the Comptrol ler of Taxes was forced to qui.. St. Livrade and return to the former town. The authorities had ordered the ropes of the church bells to be cut, is order to prevent the peo ple from sounding the tocsin; buy they scaled the belfry, rung the bells, and brought in the pe ople from the neigh bourhood. The Bordeaux papers stele that a detach ment of troops was despatched from that city to St. Liv rade at a very early hour on Wednesday morning. The Swiss journals give the following account of the annual meeting of the Helvetic Society of Natural Sciences, just held for the third time at Zurich : " Messrs.

The Moniteur of yesterday announces that a seditious movement, similar to that which took place at St. Liveade, had broken out at Villeneuve d'Agen, and caused serious disorders. The mail coach had been stopped and robbed, and the Sub-Prefect, having no force but the gendarmerie at his disposal, was obliged to seek refuge in the central prison. A barricade had been erected on the bridge, and the communication between the two banks of the river was for a moment interrupted. A telegraphic despatch received in Paris on Saturday, announced that the inhabitants had sent a deputation to the Prefect to implore his clemency, having previously removed the barricade, and re-established the communi cations. The Memorial Bordelais of the 12th announces, that a battalion of the 10th regiment left Bordeaux in the night for Villeneuve d'Agen. The operations of the census were resumed at Livourna on the 12th. The National publishes a resolution adopted by the Municipal Council of Paris on the 14th ult., in which the fiscal measures ordered by M. Humann are declared unusual, intolerable, and anti-municipal. The weather still continued fine at Paris ; but the reports from the provinces were not so favourable as in the beginning of the week.

The Prussian Gazette of the 12th contains an ukase of the Emperor of Russia, commanding a levy of five men out of every 1,000 in the provinces of the East, ex cepting, however, the districts which had suffered from bad crops. TURKEY. According to letters from the frontiers of Turkey of the Ist inst., an insurrectionary spirit prevailed among the population of Galatz, and the Government of Moldavia had deemed it expedient to send a Hettmma to Jassy with unlimited powers to act against the in habitants in case they raised the standard of revolt.

The prospect of finer and more settled weat!iier has already had its effect upon the Corn Market, 'us well as upon the Funds, a further advance in 'wheat hav ing been checked, although Friday's prices are maintained. The arrivals of foreign. Wheat con tinue large, and we may expect a good deal more yet, as our accounts from tt,e Continent notice a good deal of speculation as being still in. progress. The official averages here will no doubt go up higher, new wheat having been sold as high as 765. per quarter in Mark-lane. Canada flour is likely to come in at the no minal duty of 6d. ner barrel. In the opinion of well-informed parties in the City, M'Leod's affair will be amicably settled yet, but there is some anxiety about the Boundary Question. The expected return of Lord Sydenham to this country to make room for a Tory Governor of Canada, causes regret in. many quarters, as his Lordship has won gold.en•opinions by his Administration.

Public opinion in France, so far as it can be gathered from the journals, is opposed to the regency of Espartero in Spain. All the secret influence of the Tuileries is exerted in support of the pretensions of Queen Christina and her faction. Intrigues are carried on in Paris, in Lisbon, and in Rome, for the restoration of Christina, and the abolition of the Constitution. The Absolutists and the Priests are moving heaven and earth against Spanish freedom. In this great emer gency it would be disgraceful to England were her unqualified support withheld from the gallant soldier who acheived the freedom of the Spanish nation. The Absolutists are said to have made converts of Donna Maria of Portugal and her Illustrious Consort. The recognition of their Majesties by the Pope and the Northern Powers has had a wonderful effect upon theii political opinions. The Constitution is no longer a topic of fashionable conversation at the Court of Lisbon. It is believed that but for a dread of Espartero and the Spa nish Liberals the Government of Portugal would make another attempt to restore the Charter. There is every prospect of the crops in the West In dies being very abundant this year. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald thus remarks on the announce. ment that Lord Spencer intends to move the Address in the House of Lords:—" Lord Spencer can do his friends no good by the forthcoming display, and most assuredly he will be personally seen to far less advantage than he was the other day at the Liverpool agricultural meeting." In a preceding paragraph our Contemporary states that Lord Spencer " despised and deserted the Whigs"—a glaring inconsistency, to say nothing of its utter impro bability, for what statesman would allow himself to be drawn from his voluntary retirement, in order to assist those whom he " despised" and had " deserted ?" The Times insists tthat Ministers will be guilty of " a high misdemeanor," if they attempt again to force forward their " obnoxious Budget;" observing, " When the Sovereign dismisses an Administration for measures dis • approved by the country, the constitutional construction of that proceeding is, that the obnoxious measures are abandoned, and that the Sovereign is entirely free to take other steps more consistent with the opinion of the people. The successors whom the country brings in hare a right to expect that the Sovereign is prepared to act upon their advice in general, and mere particularly in the specific matter on which the decision of the country has thus been taken." If the broad and intelligent prin ciples on which the Whig Budget was based, are to be altogether thrown overboard by the Tories, as the Times proposes—if monopoly is to be continued, and free trade to be scouted as a delusion—how do Sir R. Peel and his party propose to relieve the distresses of the country ? Do they mean to rest satisfied with the prayers of the Church for a more prosperous state of things, or trust from day to day to the expediency system ? If so, they will very soon find themselves freezing again in the arctic regions of Opposition. The Chronicle states that Sir Robert Peel "has precluded himself from introducing a Liberal Budget,' , and that "no satisfactory adjustment can be expected from him." We judged as much from the studied re serve he has continued to maintain on the subject of any remedial measures; but what will the country say to a Tory Budget based on the Vansittart and Goulburn principles of humbug and chicanery ? A very few weeks will suffice to solve this momentous problem. Our Con temporary truly adds, that " Parliament cannot possibly postpone a discussion on the corn question till February." The Post, in an article on the subject of the Church, remarks as follows :—" We do not wish to deny or to disparage the exertions of Christian teachers who are without the pale of the Church of England ; but as practiCal and patient observers of what goes on in the business of life, we are unable to have confidence in the good effect upon the social community of their unautho rised superintendence." The reasoning of this is, that none are capable of instructing, elevating, and refining the character of the people, but those who are strictly orthodox members of the Church of England. All with out the pale of the Establishment must necessarily be ignorant pretenders, whose lessons will do more harm than good. Verily, this is being more orthodox than Episcopacy itself ! —• We quote the following from the Leeds Times : " Lord Egerton's yeomanry scheme is put by for the pre sent. If this weather continues, Lord Francis and many others must set their houses in order. Their fate is sealed. It is dreadful to contemplate the consequences of their pig-headed pride and selfishness. They fight against God, against the laws of the Creator." The Dublin Evening Post says with reference to a recent article in the Times, on the subject of Ireland : "Let Sir Robert Peel take care—some of the armed men may be wanted for England. To be sure, soldiers are no answer to a clamour for food—yet the clamourers at home may find business for'the soldiers. Most sincerely do we hope not. But it is, we must say, under correc tion, rather inconsiderate for the Times to menace Ire land with a military government, when troops may become absolutely necessary to preserve the peace of Great Britain." The Cambrian thus remarks on the rumour that the Tories intend to make material alterations in the New Poor-law :—" We own that we cannot believe in the rumoured intentions of the Tories to tamper with this law. On the hustings and for electioneering pur poses, a few Ultras of the party may make a show of great commiseration for the poor, and of a determina- tion to restore the old system ; but Peel and the mag nates must pause ere they saddle their estates with the old rates. They will have enough to do in the trying times that are at hand." —The Scotsman observes, in an article suggested by the present state of the country :—" A very little reflection indeed .will show that the crisis, for the country, is only now beginning, and that unless the Tory reign shall be brief, that crisis is fraught with the most serious alarm to the peace and prosperity, if not also to the freedom of the empire. Already something of the gloom of 1830 begins to loom again over the political horizon ; and taro that memorable era be already forgotten." The Liverpool Journal, speculating on Sir . . R. Peel's probable course of policy, remarks as fall , 0m • " Is Sir Robert Peel's grand panacea to be rap- ee i y fol lowing out of the Quarterly Review's a d v i w, a to raze half the large towns in the kingdom to the r AlYJund, and dis perse the population over the rural. -_. uistricts ? If so, we may congratulate the squirearc /- LY on the comfortable prospect they have before them. T i 'or th e last t wen ty or thirty years they have regul.arv__ been drifting off th e i r surplus farmers and labou- xers into the manufacturing towns, where most of 0 .lem have been absorbed. The tide must now be made; to flow in the opposite direction." mo: INEY--7 .:R.A.DE—COMMERCE. At Manchestr a many failures are taking place, and some are comp anding with their creditors, but they will never be knov in to the world unless some untoward event reveals till' secret. The print-trade is dreadfully bad, and b o ;:ads are only half employed. At Bradford the wool market is very dull : the yarn market is the same as usual ; the piece -market has done this week more than for several past weeks. --- At Leeds the market has increased in briskness, and the sales have on some days been extensive. Trade at Bolton begins to assume a very alarming appearance. Counterpanes meet with little demand : quiltings are in a very low state ; the demand for mus lins is improved, but the prices are extremely low. One manufacturer is offering to reduce the wages of weavers as much as 35 per cent., although their present earnings barely afford them subsistence. NAVAL AND MILITANT. The following vessels are ordered to be brought forward for commission :—L'Aigle, Volage, and Vixen, at Chatham ; North Star and Driver at Portsmouth ; Spartan and Cambrian at Ply mou th ; an d Styx at Sheerness. The Illustrious, 72, has been commissioned for the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, who will leave England about the Ist of next month to take his cow mar.il on the West India Station. LAW AND POLICE. --A man of property, of the name of Rowed , resi din g at No. 4, Upper 13elgrave-place, was held to hail at Marlborough -street Police-office, on Saturday, in the sum of 5001., and two sureties of 2501. each, for improper conduct towards a lad in Kensington-gardens. Sureties and security were soon obtained for the g entleman, but the youth, being a minor, and in poor circumstances, was committed to prison, as he could not find two sure ties in the moderate sums of 500/. each. At Bridgewater, on Friday, a man of the name of Turner was sentenced to transportation for ten years, for robbing a farmer living near Shepton Mallet of 180/. He snatched the money out of the farmer's hand, then pretended to stuff it again into his pocket, and the farmer rode off, thinking all was right, till he was half way home, when he found all was wron g , the notes having been transfor med into an old news p a per. At Croydon Assizes, on Saturday, th e l ong - pend i ng case of Punter v. Lord Grantle y an d another, came on for hearing. The first charge was aga i nst M r. llackley, the agent of Lord Grantley, for a trespass, in turning a Punter out of the Colle g e, when, after - long speech from Serjeant Shea for the plaintiff, and the examination of several wituesses, the Jury returned a verdict of EVENING SUN.

The Duke of Devonshire has gone on a tour to Ger many, and is expected to be absent about six months. End Spencer . is expected at Spencer House in a few days. Her Majesty and suite were greatly alarmed on Sa turday when proceeding in the neighbourhood of Virginia Water, from one of the ponies in the phaeton of Lord Errol taking fright. Prince Albert acted with great deci sion on the occasion. The interesting particulars will be found in another part of the paper. .

Mirchioness of Londonderry, is undergoing Wynyard Hall, the reside n c e of the Marquis and e xtensive repairs to refit it for the occupation of the family . -- Lord Morpeth has accepted an invitation to a p ublic entertainment from the Reformers of Ireland , which is to take place on the 9th of September. A dinner is also to be given to him by his late constituency in Yorkshire. RUMOURS OF TICE DAY• It is said that Sir R. Stopford will assume the Go vernorship of Greenwich Hospital in the course of the ensuing week. We understand that Sir Robert Peel, emulous of the notoriety of the boy Jones, is resolved, at all hazards, to force his way into Buckingham Palace. Ministers are resolved to have an ample discussion of of the Budget, including, of course, the taxes on corn, sugar, and timber ; and the Tories being afraid of the effect of important disclosures in these critical times, are making vast preparations to smother the debate. Will the tyrant majority gag her Majesty's Ministers ? And if they do, will the public consider the danger the less because it is concealed ? Tacitus would have decided in the contrary way.
