The population returns aro not yet published, though a few of them have found their way into the public papers. We regret that the account from King's Lynn, with which wa were favoured, d:d not reach us till we had published an outlire of the meeting from the Norwich Mercury. LONDON: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1841. The Tory Journals now unite in saying, and the Spectator echoes their assertion, that Sir ROBERT is to be a true and active Prime Minis ter. That he may be the more at liberty to ex ercise a complete surveillance over every part of the Government, and keep in his own hands all the clues to an imperial policy which extends over half the globe, he has separated the offices of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and First Lord of the Treasury, which have been usually held in conjunction when the latter has been held by a Commoner. He is to play the lofty part of a PITT or CFIATNIAM, or a WALPOLE, and there fore he consigns the drudgery of the finances to Mr. GOULBURN. His nomination to office is to be considered as a retrocession from a species of democratic or republican Ministry to a real Royal Administration, of which he is to be the chief. The power of Government, it is averred by the Spectator, has been transferred by the consti tuencies, not by the QUEEN, to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and no other. Her MAJESTY has, therefore, only one master, for all the other Ministers are little better than Sir ROBERT PEEL'S clerks or ser vants. All the constituencies, it is said, have cried out for PEEL. Away with all others, and give us PEEL ! PEEL will we have, and PEEL is therefore the great Commoner-King of our day, t h e sole master of the Q UEEN an d t h e Govern- meat. The Tories and the Spectator exult a t thi s ; we cannot. What, is there only one man in the nation capable of administering its affairs, and lie little better than a red-tapist? Admitting that the constituencies would have none other than PEEL, that they voted for PEEL, what is there in his conduct to justify their choice ? He has been an excellent party leader, but what has he done for the constituencies and the country? Ile has laboured incessantly in oppositiou to strengthen the Tories; in what way has he served the public ? Has he in opposition forced the Ministers to be economical ? Has he kept them from encroaching on the public liberties? and has lie extended the privileges of the people? No, he has not. He has encouraged extrava gance. He has aimed at lessening the public li berties, and at preventing the Ministers from enlarging them. He has kept no tyranny in check, but whenyver the Ministers sought in any way to be tyrannical, Sir ROBERT PEEL patted them on the back. He has been instrumental in preserv ing all kinds of abuses. For this the constitu encies have rewarded him by bestowing on him a mastership over the first servant of a free people. That is less dishonourable to Sir Ho- BERT PEEL than to the constituencies. In apposition he was always the friend of aristocracy and not of the people. He belonged to the party of the House of Lords. He always stretched forth his hand to shield the Church. All its abuses found in him an advocate. H e always was on the side of the Whigs when they were in the wrong. He was for restricting the franchise in Ireland, and he resisted all measures for extending it in England. His policy was to uphold our institutions unaltered and unre proved; and as the Whigs approved of our in stitutions he assailed them with the weapons they put into his hands. When they practically professed themselves Conservatives, by opposing further reform, they really gave ,up power to him. He and his friends, and not Lord MEL BOURDIE and his friends, constitute the Conser- vative party, and Lord MELBOURNE could only, and did only, after professing Conservatism, re tain office in subserviency to Sir ROBERT PEEL. Hence it was that subsequent to the period when the Whigs dismissed themselves as it were from power, the current of opinion set in deci dedly favourable to PEEL. All parties in Par liament, except the few Radicals, acknowledged the necessity of a Conservative policy ; the ac knowledgment of parties in Parliament influ enced public opinion; every man who could read traced in the speeches of Sir R. PEEL, a vast su periority as a man of business and a man of in dustry to Lord MELBOURNE, and the force that carried him into power was like that of a general law. It was a certain opinion pervading many leading minds, including the Whig Ministers, namely, that a Consevative policy was necessary, and when that opinion was vouched for by the Whigs, it was a necessary ,consequence that Sir R. PEEL should be called on to carry it out. His elevation to power has in it nothing miraculous; nothing capricious, nothing of favoritism. It is the plain result of the principle proclaimed by the Whigs. But will that principle suit the country? We contend it will not, and we have always opposed the finality doctrines. Is the Church such B very useful institution that it ought to be pre served with all its abuses? Is the House of Commons the mirror of the people ? Is the House of Lords a well-ordered, well-arranged senate, which deserves the confidence of en lightened men? Are all our laws as to trade so perfect that they need no improvement ? We answer no, a thousand times no; and, latterly, when the Whigs began, from sheer necessity, to attack our commercial policy, they proved that they, on that part of the subject, had ceased to be Conservatives. Conservatism is a general principle, and if i t will not now apply to trade, neither will it apply fcr a long period to the Lords, the Commons, and the Church. Lord ELDON, a consistent politi cian, resisted every change, because he was aware that all our institutions hang together, and that restrictions on trade cannot be removed without enabling commerce to throw the landed interest into the back ground, and ;he landed interest cannot be thrown into the back grouhd without the Church and th e aristocracy being bereft of their main support. Lord ELDON'S principle still holds good, and the Minister, whatever political creed he may pro fess, who aim a blow at our commercial restric tions is not a good Conservative. The Whigs, therefore, when they proposed commercial re- form, admitted the impracticability of that Con servative policy which they gave up power to espouse. We are not sure that the leader of the Tories is not himself practically convinced of the hope lessness of strict Conservative policy. But who ever is opposed to our fiscal regulations and commercial restrictions is, in fact, opposed to Con servative policy. In fact, while both parties pro fess Conservative principles, they also both practically admit the impossibility of car rying out the Conservative policy. We feel confident, therefore, that it is no longer suitable to the circumstances of the age, and that the most intimate union of the two parties in Parliament, could that take place, would not suffice to carry Conservative policy into effect. The nation must go forward or go to decay ; and those who dre such determined Con servatives that they will not amend our tariff should prohibit the formation of railways and the building of steam-ships. It does not say much for the constituencies, in our opinion, that they have carried a man into power who has never conferred any benefit on them, except they be benefited by the pre servation of abuses, and who professes an imprac ticable policy. The cause of his elevation, how ever, is not confidence in him, but mistrust of others. The Ministers for the time being, let them be who they may, are the organs for carry ing laws into execution which general opinion pronounces to be erroneous or mischievous. Those who administer them become invested with the attributes of the law, and thus the very ex ercise of power, under our present system of legislation, involves the loss of public confidence. This is now the case with the Whigs, and the public reject them. The Tories are now to begin to carry the same laws into execution, and ere long the public will withdraw its confidence from Sir ROBERT PEEL. The dismissal of the Whigs, therefore, is the certain beginning of the public mistrust in him and his policy. For ten years the Whigs have stood between the democracy and the aristocracy, and protected the latter. When the Tories again lose power the Whigs will not again be allowed to throw their shield over the public enemies; and hence the over throw of the Whigs, brought about by the Tories, will ere long end in the complete overthrow of the Conservative principles. At any rate we have a thorough conviction of the truth of our own principles, and we cannot for one moment despair of their complete, speedy, and triumphant success. We have accused the Whigs of neglecting their party interests, and the elections conse quent on the acceptance of office by the new Mi nisters will confirm or invalidate our charge. If Sir RORERT PEEL be allowed to come in unop posed for Tamworth, if Lord STANLEY walk over the course in Lancashire, if Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL be re-elected for East Kent without opposition, if Sir JAMES GRAHAM be not disturbed in Dorchester, if Exeter be not won from Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, we shall conclude that the Whigs have made up their minds to succumb completely to the Tories and give up all party ties. In all these places, by dint of exertion, they might find a large party in their favour, and though they might not suc ceed in the first instance, they would gain strength, and form a party which would ulti mately be successful. Letters from Constantinople of the 17th ult. state that instructions were sent on that day to the CAPITAN PACHA at Candia, who had not then completed the subjugation of the Spliakiote mountaineers. The Peiki Schevket steamer, which was to convey these instructions to the Turkish Admiral, was laden with military stores fur the purpose of arming the Osmanlis, who have all made their submission to the SULTAN. This measure is more likely than any other to make the Greeks desperate. Only a few weeks have elapsed since thousands of them voluntarily delivered up their arms to the PACIIA, on the faith of the most solemn promises of protection and now to put arms in' the hands of the exas perated Turks falls little short of directly sanc tioning the slaughter of the defenceless objects of their fear and hate. The population of the whole island of Candia is estimated at 180,000 inhabi tants; of these 150,000 are Greeks, so that of native Turks there are barely 30,000 in the whole island. The Turks occupy the fortresses and rich and fertile plains of the island, the Greeks were early driven to the mountains, where they maintained a sort of wild indepen dence, which they did not entirely lose even after the Porte had, in 1826, bestowed the go vernment of Candia upon MEHEMET Am. During the Greek Revolution the intervention of the Great Powers was required to pre vent the Candiotes from achieving their independence ; nor have they ever since abandoned the prospect of sooner or later break_ ing th e fetters which subjected them to the tyranny of a race of unbelievers more ignorant than themselves. Although the sway established by MEHEMET Au over Candia was not so op pressive as that of the PORTE, yet so anxious were the Christian inhabitants for freedom, and so impatient were they of the state of thraldom A t fik_ tt'S - ill ~vr I • 0 • ~.. ,% • "All 4 ' cg", .111 t&;" V 4 - 6 1 -0 - patezl i. -"*%so'.

When the Treaty of the 15th July deprived MEHEMET ALI of Candia, the PORTE had not provided for the government of the island in accordance with the genius of the people, and the relative strength of the two races occupying it. The same blind course which it is now pursuing in Syria, it adopted in Candia. Instead of allowing MUSTAPHA PACHA, who, under MEHEMET ALI, governed the island tranquilly by discouraging the system of rapine which the Turks were everywhere pursuing, to remain at the head of the Administration, a succession of Governors were appointed, whose arrogance and insatiable avarice filled the Greeks with alarm, and drove them to take up arms once more to effect their independence. Letters from Constantinople of the 7th ult. led us to believe that the Candiotes were completely crushed for the present ; but advices of a date ten days later apprise us that a formidable body of them still occupies the almost impassable passes of the Sphakiote ridge of mountains. In arming the Turkish population, the Porte is preparing the way for a war of extermination. The Turks once armed, will not restrain the indulgence of their brutal passions; and the Greeks, fighting for their lives, the inviolability of their wives and daughters, and their hearths and altars, will show no mercy. It is surely the duty of the Christian Governments of Europe to take upon themselves the tranquilization of Candia. Al ready have the Candiote insurgents implored their protection, and offered to submit to their award. Generosity, humanity, the very welfare of Turkey itself; demands that their prayers should not be rejected. We publish in another part of The Sun some highly important Chinese State Papers, received by the Overland Mail, but too late for our Afternoon Edition of Saturday. The petition of the unfortunate KESHEN, addressed iu the form of a Report to the EMPEROR, and de tailing the state of the fortifications on the Canton River, will well repay the trouble of an attentive perusal. KESHEN was unquestionably one of the ablest statesmen in China, and his loss will yet be severely felt by the barbarian Monarch, by whose commands he was so ignominiously put to death. He was born and educated at the Court of Pekin, where he exceeded all his contemporaries in an inti mate acquaintance with all the affairs of the inter nal Administration, civil and military, and ecclesi astical. He was of a restless and intrigming dispo sition, and by constantly ferreting out abuses, which he set forth in memorials to be laid at the feet of the EMPEROR, he made himself many powerful enemies; But his great talents and extraordinary sagacity rendered his enemies powerless so long as he was within ear shot of the Court. It was only when at a distance that he declined in the Impe rial favour, and previously to his last fa tal fall he was several times fined, and even publicly censured in the Pekin Gazette. But he never failed to defend himself with abi lity, and in the end with success; and as he was a good General, an able financier, without ever having served in these departments, his counsels were always of the greatest service to the Government. As he saw from the commencement of the quarrel with England that the Celestials were no match in war for the con querors of India, he did all that he could to coun teract the mischievously hostile policy •of his predecessor, the High Commissioner LIN. Ap pointed to succeed him, he tried to gain by nego elation what he could not achieve by force; but, un fortunately for himself, his moderate and saga cious views were regarded at Pekin as the result of cowardice. The bagarian pride of the EM PEROR and the Court was wounded; KESHEN was denounced as a traitor, and LIN, with his other enemies, fearing the result of his appearance before the EMPEROR, procured the. tracing of the lines with the vermillion pencil, which doomed tha ablest statesman: in the Celestial Empire to be cut asunder through the middle The Paris 'Journals of Friday and Saturday have all reached us. Notwithstanding the great outcry which they all made against Lord PAL MERSTON and the Whig Ministry, so far as we can gather from them, they are still worse dissa tisfied with their Tory successors. The Courrier Francais, the National, the Siecle, and the Presse, speak most disparingly of the composi tion of the PEEL Cabinet. The Constitutionnel has the following remarks on the negotiations for commercial relations be tween France and Belgium : The commercial negotiations with Belgium have for some days past attracted the serious attention of the Council of Ministers. The question of the suppression of the custom-houses being found impracticable, is wholly abandoned. The object now in view is a new treaty of commerce upon very wide bases, with modifications of our tariffs, and a great facility for the introduction into France of the various manufactures of Belgium, such as woollens, carpets, iron, coal, &c. The propositions of the Belgian Govern. ment have given rise to serious objections in the Council. The compensations offered by it for the concessions re quired, are chiefly the reduction of the Belgian tariff as regards our wines and spirits. The Belgian propositions have their partisans in the Cabinet who welcome them as an opening to more intimate relations between the two cluintries ; but we know also that they have been strongly resisted by some of the Ministers who are im pressed with a sense of the opposition which they would experience in the Chambers, and the injury which, if ac ceded to, they would bring upon France. We are as sured that the deliberations on this subject are indefi nitely adjourned, and the Cabinet intends to call upon se veral Chambers of Commerce for information, which is become indispensable, on account of the turn which the negotiations have taken." An amusing anecdote is current in Paris, as to the King of Prussia's reception of M. Thiers. After the in terview of the French statesman with the German Mo narch had been spent on topics of art and general con versation, M. Thiers alluded to politics, when the King of Prussia observed that his political maxim was that of M. G uizot, La Pair partout, et tourjours—"peace every where and always"—and that he was not ashamed of it. The magistracy of Hanover have instituted a prosecu tion against an innkeeper at Hertzberg for defaming the memory of the late Queen. Extract of a letter from Tceplitz, 25th ult., in the Augsburg Gazette :—" The Duchess d'Angouleme arrived here on the 18th, having in her suite the Dowager Duchess de Blacas, and Count Stanislav de Blacas, who served in the army of Don Carlos. All the elite of the society here have been to pay their respects to her Royal Highness. The Dowager Princess of Reuss Graetz, who, before her marriage, was a Princess de Rohan. Prince-Radziwil, the Count de Fiquelmont, and his fu ture son-iu-law, Prince de Clary, ahe proprietor of Tceplitz, went on the eve of the fea of Saint Louis to compliment the Duchess d'Angouleme. Prince Felix Lichnowski has passed an evening with the Princess, whose journey hither is considered as a proof of the satis factory condition of the Duke de Bordeaux. The following account of a valuable and curious-dis covery at Trieste appears in the Eco du Monde Savant: —" The supply of water to Trieste being frequently un equal to - the wants of the inhabitants, and there being no source of importance excepting a little river, the Recce, which loses itself in the mountains and re-appears only at a considerable distance, a German engineer, M. Lind ler, hoping to give to this river a direction favourable to Trieste, resolved to explore its course. After penetrat ing through the cavities of the mountain without success, he proceeded to break opeaings, and at length came upon a cavity, into which he had himself lowered ropes. It is an immense grotto, 160 feet in height, 2,350 fieet in length, and through it the river in question flows over a bed of sand. With a small expense, this water can be Ibrought by aqueduct into Trieste." The Revue Orientals has a letter from the Cretan Committee at Athens, from which we make the annexed extract :—" It'is true that the Sphakiotes, whether they had been betrayed, or whether they saw that it was im possible to save their fainilies if they fell, left open a free passage to their enemies. Still the provinces of Malevison, Messara, and Melopotamo, hold out. The brave General B. Chalis, having collected some troops, is determined to meet his assailants. Only a few of tbe Sphakiotes have given up their arms, the rest keeping them until reinforcements come to enable them to renew the struggle. The provisional Government, too weak and incapable to brave the danger, has given way to a military government, which has been suctioned by the suffrages of the armed force, and is more suited to con tend with the diftculties by which the country is sur rounded. A flotilla was indispensable ; and there has been formed one as large as the means at our command permitted." A few days ago a fire broke out in the forest of Po laison, near Draguignan, which burnt down the wood standing on 400 hectares (the hectare is equal to about 2i English acres) of Royal forest, and from 200 to 300 hectares of private property. On the same day a fire broke out in a wood belonging to a rich landholder near Frejus. It was still burning on the 20th ult. These fires are supposed to have been the work of incendiaries. The manufactory of M. Morel Porte, in the centre of Bernay, near Rouen, took fire early on Sunday morning, and burnt with such violence that the whole of the build ing and its contents were consumed, leaving only the walls. Nothing but the exertions of the firemen and the absence of wind, saved the town from extensive devasta tion, as the factory was surrounded by numerous wooden houses. _ _ The Lyons papers state that the man Collot, who has just been condemned to death for murdering his uncle, at that place, is a descendant of the infamods Collot d'Eler• bois, of revolutionary notoriety. M. Tiran, member of the Society of Antiquaries of France, has been sent into Spain by the Minister of Pub lic Instruction, to collect rare books and MSS. for the Public Libraries of France. _ _ _ " The Spanish Ambassador," says the Toulonnais, "i: stated to have detained at Mahon the Victorieuse cor vette until France has paid a sum of 10,000 f., the esti mated charges for quarantine expenses. The captain of the Victorieuse has been warned that, if he attempts to sail before this demand is settled, the corvette will be fired on." M. Lenormand, the ex-Commissary of police, arrived at Toulouse on Wednesday morning, and was immedi ately lodged in the prison of the Senechal. The three veterinary schools of Alfort, Lyons, and Toulouse, at which there are 600 students, cost the Go vernment 492,200 f. per annum, or, upon the average, 820 r. for each student. The average number of horses kept in them is 1,332,—viz.: 838 stallions, 127 mares, 212 colts, 99 fillies, and 56 draft-horses. The expenses amount to 1,921,900 f. In the sheep-farms at Rambouillet. Perpignan, and Lahayevaux, there are 1,500 animals, the keepof which, all expenses included, amounts to 116,000 f. a-year. The gallery of the Palais Royal, which contains the series of historical pictures, representing the various scenes of which that edifice has been the theatre, is about to have added to it two more paintings—one repre senting the reception by the Royal Family of France of Queen Maria Christina ; and the other the signing, by her Spanish Majesty, of her Protest against the Decrees of the Cortes, which deprived her cif her rights as Guardian of Queen Isabella. The Minister of Foreiem Affairs, according to the Univers, has remitted to the Superior of the Sisters of Charity, at Smyrna, 3,000 f. towards the relief of the sufferers by the late fire there. The Moniteur of the 4th of September has no part. We find the following account in the Emancipation of Toulouse of the Ist of September : "M. Lenormand, our late Principal Commissary, whom we' have mentioned as being implicated in the troubles of Toulouse, arrived this morning by the dili gence from Paris, accompanied by two police officers, who did not quit him for a moment. After having alighted at the Capont Hotel, he was put into a hackney coach, still attended by two police officers, and conveyed to the prison of the Senechal. '—Le Constitutionnil. The Mentor packet, which arrived at Marseilles on the 30th of August, brought the Moniteur Ottomen of the 16th, the Journal de Smyrna of the 19th, and the Im partial, a new journal in the French language, of the 19th. The accounts from Constantinople are not very interesting. Lord Ponsonby had lately a long conference with Ri faat Pacha ; but nothing has transpired with respect to the subject of their interview. Great change will take place in a few months in the principal legation. Lord Ponsonby, it is said, is making preparations for his departure, and though nothing an nounces his recal, it is affirmed that he has expressed his intention not to return to Constantinople. It is supposed that he will be succeeded by Mr. Charles Begot. Count Pontois expects with every courier leave of ab sence to return to France, for which he has applied to his Court. It is affirmed that he, too, when he has once gone away, will do all that depends on him not to return to the Levant ; and, in this case, it is thought that M. Bois-le-Compte will succeed him. Lastly, Count Konigsmark, the Russian Ambassador, having obtained leave of absence, will make use of it at the b2ginning of October.—Le Commerce; An enormous skate, according to the Brussels jour nals, was sold on Monday in the fishmarket at Ghent, measuring 6 feet square, and weighing 1751b5. The Emancipation of Toulouse mentions that last week the receipts of the Savings' Bank there were 24,183 francs, and the disbursements 158,609 francs, thus show ing the severe distress, and perhaps distrust, which con tinues to prevail there. The Marquis of Northampton has arrived at the Hotel Bristol, place Vendome. The Chevalier Peruzzi, Tuscan Minister, has left Paris for Florence, and during his absence the Chevalier Bar . gagli replaces him as Charge d'Affaires. The Moniteur Parisien says:—" The conferences be tween the Belgian Commissioners and the French Go veinMent for a treaty of commerce will commence in a few days. It will be remembered that last year, in the negotiations' for a treaty of commerce with England, Commissioners were appointed by the French Govern ment, and much time was bestowed without any result. that difficulties may be promptly removed , three of the On the present occasion, in order to p revent dela y , and Ministers, Messrs. Guizot, Humann, and Cunin Gridaine, will treat directly with the Belgian Commissioners." Mlle. de Dietz has commenced her tour under the most favourable and distinguished auspices. When at Laval she received a most gracious invitation from the Queen to present herself at Eu, and display her talents before the Royal Family. This flattering invitation was ac cepted with the feelings our admired pianist is known to possess, and on the 28th ult. she executed several pieces before her, Majesty, and the rest of the Royal Family, whose praises were great, rendered still more valuable by their own a cknowledged taste and science. The Queen, in token of her own and the general satisfaction, presented the fair artist with a splendid gold neck-chain enriched with pearls and diamonds. A letter froni Dunkirk, 29th ult., says:—" This morn ing, at eleven, a fire broke out in the warehouses of M. Hubert, which contained more than 150 pipes of spirits of full strength. Not, only are these warehouses burn ing, but three neighbouring houses are entirely con sumed ; and, in order to prevent the extension of the ca ' lamity, other houses have been pulled down."—A letter from Lille of the next day gives the following later par ticulars :--" Seven houses became a prey to the flames. Amongst the merchandise in store was a large quantity of spirituous liquors, which added to the intensity of the fire. The loss is estimated at 150,000 f. in buildings, , I 50- 000 f. in furniture, and 200,000 f. in merchandise." says the Moniteur Parisien, " by the appear ., C,?nsiderable curiosiv was excited the day before p lersons, the father, the mother, a child of yesterday," vent,age, and a female, apparently a ser who were all ~I k ing in the middle of the river, fi an v c e e o o r f ai t x bu; eara w loud and Asnieres, with the core a sort of bathing dress,bweattwere between the to bridgesthe che os chest.

Wheri asked by the spectators what they were doing, they made ..: 43 reply , but, placing their arms across their breasts, walked o.' l . The King of Wurteinberg returned on the 27th ult. to Stuttgardt. In passing through Graetz, in Styria, his Majesty had an interview with the Emperor of Austria. A Berlin correspondent writes that, at a late review by the King of Prussia, his Majesty was much annoyed by observing many of the spectators wearing enormously large beards, and turning to one of the hirsute gentle men, he said with a significent gesture :—" Pray, Sir, go and get yourself shaved, for here you run great risk of having your beard singed." Prince Odescalchi, who, three years ago, renounced the purple of his Cardinalate, and retired into the Je suit's College at Modena, died there on the 17th ult., at the comparatively early age of 55. The Augsburg Gazette states that the Pope, according to a letter from Rome, is about to perform a long-in tended visit of devotion to the shrine of the Virgin of Loretto, which circumstances h ive hitherto prevented. His Holiness is expected to leave Rome on the 9th inst., and, on his return to visit the Sanctuary of Fabrino, in which are deposited the relics of Saint Romuald, patri arch of the Camaldules, and the church of Our Lady of the Angels, which owes its restoration to the present Pontiff. The King has given 500 f. towards the monument • which is to be erected at Bordeaux, by public subscription to the memory of the late M. Henri Fonfrede. The Minister of Public Instruction has named M. Leclerc, President of the Academy of Inscription, Messrs. Hese, Reynaud, and Libri, of the Institute, and M. Denton, chief of the secretariat in the department of public instruction, to be members of the Committee for drawing up the general catalogue of MSS. in all the public collections of France, those of Paris excepted. The Hungarian papers state that the creation of a national Hungarian Bank at Pesth has been authorised by the Austrian Government. The Swedish Government has issued an interdiction against the publication of any translation from the German of Strauss's " Life of Christ." The Impartial of Smyrna relates that soon after sun set, on the 15th ult., a bright meteor passed across the western horizon, leaving behind it two zig-zag trains of great length, o f pa l er hue, which lasted several mi nutes. The superstitious portion of the people considered the phenomenon as indicating the approach of some re markable event. The report of the Committee on the affair of the Con vents of Argau was made to the Swiss Diet in its sitting of the 30th ult. It is as follows :-Ist. The convents, respecting whi c h t h e decree o f su ppression of Argau is to be regarded as null, sha ll h ave all their constitutional rights restored ; 2d. The three opinions annexed to thb present report, as to the conven t s to be re-established in their rights, as also the opposite opinion of a single member of th e C omm i ttee, s h a ll be submitted to the deliberation of th e Diet ; 3d. If the affair cannot be de cided during the present session, the Diet shall adjourn to the 11th Octob er , for the discussion of the question. M. Neuhaus, President of the Diet, recommended that this body should declare itself satisfied with the conces sions of the Canton of Argau. The opinions alluded to above were modifications of the opinions of the majority. more or less in favour of the radical party in Argau. There was little doubt that the question would be ad jOurned, as the Berne papers state. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 4. Irst Highest Lowest I.ast Price Price. Pric...

Courtier Francais presents its readers with the lot loving sketch of the Peel Cabinet, upon which our space vii nut allow us to offer a word of comment :—" The ;iew Cabinet is not one of such pure breed as the ultra- Dries could have desired ; neither is it farmed by the .9alition of the moderate men of different shades who ,fretted the Tory party when in opposition. All the ,pposino• factions are represented from the converted Whigs, like Lord Stanley, to the most thick and thin Tories, like Sir E. Knatchbull. The Duke of Welling .on gives only his name to the Ministry. He takes no Ace, and reserves to himself, probably, the task of 'seeping together those Ministers whose antecedents have furnished the greatest contrasts. Lord Lynd hurst resumes the functions of Lord Chancellor. gothing less would suffice for the direction in the Lords, than the profound knowledge, activity, tnd well-known dexterity of the Noble Lord. Mr. Goulburn, who becomes Chancellor of the Exchequer, is a man of very doubtful capacity, and will, doubtlessly, be merely the instrument of Sir R. Peel. The Earl of Ripon, who is a renegade in political economy, as well as in politics, is at the head of the Board of Trade, and we may venture to predict that he will commit more than one blunder there. He it was who complained re cently, in the House of Lords, of the concessions to France, stipulated for in the projected treaty of com merce between France and England. We see hoW little fruit the example of Mr. Huskisson has borne. Lord Ellenborough, who is to direct the affairs of India, is an elegant talker ; but we question whether he be equal to the post which he is to fill. As to Lord Stanley, who is to be Secretary for the Colonies, he certainly does not want talent, but is there no danger to be apprehended for the department over which he is to preside, from his irritable temperament ? Sir James Graham, who is to be the Home Minister, is a madman, who sees double in politics. Sir Robert Peel will have enough to do to moderate the passions of these men. We have left to the last our opinion of the new Foreign. Secretary, Lord Aberdeen. The only motive for placing him in this dif dealt post is his long experience of diplomatic business. Apart from this consideration, Lord Aberdeen is a very ordinary man. He hates France, and has shown hatred on all occasions since he last held office. He will not, however, come to an open rupture with us, for the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel are anxious to cover their real dislike of France with a veil of friendship. We may, however, expect from Lord Aberdeen • a thousand annoyances and a pride and coldness in his,re lations with us bordering on hostility. Such is the Tory Ministry for England and France. We have not gained much by the change. Lord Aberdeen will, perhaps, be less bold and violent than Lord Palmerston, but an un derhand conflict will continue on every point of the globe between French and English interests." The Sleek calls Lord Lyndhurst " the 'sycophantic servant of the aristocracy," and Lord Elliot "the humble shadow of the will of the Duke of Wellington." It adds: —" There are, properly speaking, only three Ministers in the new Cabinet—namely, Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, and Lord Stanley, but the latter aspiies to the highest rank with the support of the Church. If a rupture should take place in the Cabinet, Sir James Graham, Sir Henry Hardinge, and the Duke of Buck ingham, will go over to his side. This is the first danger of the new Ministry, for Lord Stanley will never be satisfied so long as there shall be in the Cabinet any man higher than himself." An Alexandrian Correspondent of the Semaphore states that the officers of an English frigate, which had recently arrived from Beyrout, reported the Druses and Maronites as having come to open hostilities against each t:plie!; and that a good number of men had fallen on both sides. It was al; - o stated that the British Consul at Jerusalem had retired to Jaffa., because one of his Janissaries had been maltreated by the populace, and the authorities had refused to give satisfaction. Advices from Lisbon of the 30th ult. represent the Algarves as very disturbed. GenEral Macdonnell, for merly of Don Miguel's service, was arrested on the 24th ult. at Lisbon, and sent a prisoner to the Castle of St. George. He was charged in the Chambers with being privy to some Miguelite conspiracy. The Emperor o Morocco has sent two ships of war to exercise on the coast of Portugal. His Imperial Ma jesty threatens war unless Queen Donna Maria pays his demand of 30,000 dollars. From France, Spain, and Holland, the accounts of the crops are favourable. The prices of grain are declining. PAMLIAP/LENTARY. The parties in the two Houses lust night changed their places, the Duke of Wellington and the Tories occupy in.- the Ministerial, and Viscount Melbourne and the Whigs occupying the Opposition benches. Lord Lyndhurst took his seat on the Woolsack. The Administration of Justice Bill went through a Committtee. On the Report, Lord Brougham proposed an amend ment not to allow more than one additional Chancellor, which was negatived. Lord Campbell moved to insert words which would ensure the eligibility of Irish barristers of fifteen years' standing under the Bill, but he consented to postpone it. The bake of Wellington promised the Earl of Wick low, in calling his attention to the subject, that he would inform his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department, of the fact that the punishment of Death Bill was not extended to Ireland. In the Commons the Tories mustered in considerable force; the Whig Radicals were but few. That Mr. Wakley kept his old seat amongst the Tories was un doubtedly a mistake. A number of election petiti ;ns were presented. Lord Scarborough's Indemnity Bill was passed through all its stages. Dr. &wring and Mr. Roebuck severally gave notices of motion relative to the Tariff and the correspondence concerning M'Leod. No new writs were moved for as some persons seem to have expected. That cannot be done till the Bth. Both houses rose at an early hour. PUBLIC OPINION. The Moi ning Chronicle thus defines the character of the new Tory Administration :—" Sir Robert Peel com mences by sinning against the very first principles of Government. His power, instead of being exercised for the entire and general benefit, and resembling, in its in fluence, that sun which " shines alike on the evil and the good," is to be wielded for the imagined benefit of those who have been the means of placing him in office. He is to rule for the landlord, as opposed to the manu facturer. He is to rule for the farmer, as opposed to the a:tizan. He is to rule for the profit of the agricultural in terest, as opposed to that of the commercial. He is to rule for the counties, as opposed to the cities. Such a Government is a fraud. It commences with the very worst prin ciple of the very worst Government. It adopts and fosters that system of class favouritism which has been the cause of all the heart-burnings that have ever roused a people against its rulers."—lt is impossible that a Cabinet, constituted as Sir R. Peel's is, can ever adopt an enlarged or decided system of policy. It has only one bond of union—that of self-interest. Its ruling principle will necessarily be, to support one part of the country to the detriment of the other—to throw the whole weight of its influence into the scale of the agri cultural interest, and do no more than it can possibly help, to further the good of the commercial classes. The Times speaks of the Tory Opposition—now the Tory Ministry—in the following inflated terms of pane gyric :—" Never in the history of this nation was there an Opposition more splendid, efficient, and constitutional, than that which for some years has been headed by Sir Robert Peel. The true secret of its strength is to be found in its moral character. Abounding in talent and eloquence of the first order, as it undeniably did—distin guished,' as it uniformly was, by just and enlarged views of public policy—and exhibiting, as it never failed to do, an admirable combination of moderation without feeble ness, and of vigilance without ungenerous partisan ' ship—it, nevertheless, was indebted .or that gradual in crease of popularity which has at last placed it in power, not so much to any or to all of the attributes we have ascribed to it, as to the high political morality which, in conjunction with those attributes, pervaded and hallowed the whole course of its operations."—The " high political morality" of Sir Robert Peel's party is a qualification that it has yet to devel2pe—if it be not the most cutting irony to allude to it ; for where is the " high political morality" of Lord Ripon—of Lord Stanley—above all, of Sir James Graham—who, of course, will materially con ' tribute to give a tone to the new Cabinet ? " High po litical morality" is the most absurd phrase our Contem porary could possibly have applied to the Tories. The Post says—" The new Administration of Great Britain is fully disposed to put a favourable construction on the acts of the French Government, and, while main taining British principles, and respect for establishe'd in stitutions everywhere, to co-operate cordially with France in the advancement of the civilisation, the peace, and the happiness of Europe." We have no faith in this assertion when we remember that our Foreign Minister i• Lord Aberdeen—an avowed disciple and ,;imitator of Metter nich, who has always been an advocate for stretching Prerogative to its utmost limit. The Advertiser sketches Sir Robert Peel's political character, as follows :---" Sir Robert Peel is the same man now he ever was. Considerations of abstract jus tice will never weigh with him ; they will never influ ence his conduct. In the present ease, we cannot even expect anything from his notions of expediency. He never secognises the claims of expediency, until they have assumed an attitude which menaces the public peace if any longer resisted. And consequently, as the disposition of the public mind at present is, un• happily, to repose in quiet, in the conviction that Sir Robert Peel meditates some important measures of political and commercial amelioration—he will bring forward no such measures, so long as the national mind remains in this tranquil and passive frame."— It is only by a show of dogged and desperate determi nation on the part of the country, that Sir Robert Peel will be induced to stir a step. He will reform only on compulsion. Like Palinurus, he will slumbe • at the helm, to the last moment, trusting to the apparent se renity of the weather. In a word, he is a day-after-the fair Reformer, who will never yield till it is just too late, and till concession has lost halt' its value and all its grace. The Herald thus alludes to Lord John Russell's policy, as respects our Australian colonies :—" In every one of the Australian colonies Lord John Russell leaves some vexatious question behind him. In New South Wales there is the application of the land fund to purpose* other than immigralion— a process which realises the fable of killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Then there is the projected division of that colony into three dependencies —a suggestion exceedingly unpopular at Sydney. In South Australia—the Wake field model colony I—his Lordship has broken the condition on which the settlers went out, and has been compelled to place it on the foandation of an ordi nary Crown 'colony—proceedings which will, doubtless, heavily, disappoint the colonists, if they do not induce them to emigrate elsewhere. In Western Australia his Lordship's meddling Governor, Mr. Hutt, has been un necessarily introducing what are termed the new colo nial land principles to their fullest extent, to the great annoyance of the older settlers. Ile has interfered in every thing in which interference was needless, and has not interposed where interposition would have been be neficial, by protecting the colonial whale fishery against the depredations of the American whalers." We quote the following from the Cambrian:—" Power in this country is always unpopular. The very fact of being in possession of the Government makes enemies of thousands. A Jack in office is always an object of dis like and suspicion to John Bull. The Whigs lost influ ence merely because they were the Government. In a short time Peel will be the magnet of similar feelings. Notwithstanding all we have heard of the power of the landed interest, the colonial interest, the shipping inte rest, and the manufacturing interest, we have a suspicion that there is in this country an interest stronger than all, and that is the Grumbling Interest." The Hull Rockingham speaks in the following terms of the new Ministerial appointments :—" We have not much fault to find with these appointments, seeing that a Tory Ministry is inevitable. The most objectionable name is that of the Duke of Buckingham, but we sup pose it was necessary to conciliate the landed interest in his person. How his determined support of the sliding scale will be made to comport with the equally strong predilection of Sir G. Murray for a fixed duty, remains to be seen." _ . The Livevpool Chronicle, commenting on " invariable conduct of the Tories towards the people, observes:— " They have no feeling for them, they have no sympathy with them. They are suffering privation. They are oppressed by poverty. They are afflicted by hunger, and almost overwhelmed with famine. But what of that ? What is all that to Tory legislators ? They buy their seats in Parliament to serve themselves, and not the people." The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to Sir Robert Peel's late interview with the Queen :—" Eight minutes. Short enough, in all conscience. But what had the Queen to do but acquiesce? Where was the use in pro longing a disagreeable visit? Sir Robert came with his list. Her Majesty cast her eye over it, and said yes. What more did they want her to say ? One thing is clear, she has not forgotten her dignity." The British Mercury remarks, in an article suggested by the new Ministerial appointnients :—" What, how eyer, stamps the character of the whole Cabinet, is the .presence in it of the Duke of Buckingham. Most heart sickening is it to contemplate this appointment. It is a direct challenge to the , starving masses—a throwing down of the gauntlet to the manufacturing and commer cial classes—and 'an insolent announcement that the tax upon food will be maintained in all its vigour. The Scotsman speaks of Lord John Russell's farewell speech ih the House of Commons in the following terms :- 44 Lord John Russell's speech will be read with painful interest by every friend to liberal government. It is precisely such a speech as we should expect from a pat riotic Minister, who, having toiled to advance the best interests of his country, has fallen, through the triumph of popular ignorance and error, electoral dishonesty, and factious combination." IMONMY-TIZADE-COIVIMERCE. In Tvlanchester there have been five considerable failures this week—one calico-printer, another haber dasher, another in the drysaltery, and two others, one in the general Manchester trade, and the other spinners and manufacturers. The united engagements amount to above 300,000 d. Huddersfield enjoys tolerably good trade and is more animated. At Leeds the demand is steady. The Lei cester sales of Colonial wool have been brisk this week, and the Cloth and Yarn markets at Manchester better. In Oldham, out of ninty-one cotton-mills, nineteen are at a partial stand, and fourteen completely at a stop. In Ashton-under-Lyne trade is better. At Bradford the Piece market is steady. At Bolton three weeks have made no improvement in the trade, and the cottons are in a very depressed state. At Heywood there is a slight improvement, but hundreds are working short time. N .ELV ILL AND PIIILITATLY. A violent storm in the China seas has wrecked three vessels ; a French bark wrecked, but crew saved : a Liverpool merchant ship, and a Dutch vessel were both lost, and every individual perished. The ship Dryade, given over for lost, and for the pas sengers of which their relatives had gone into mourning, has been heard of as safe at Mauritius on the 3d of June last. LAW AND POLICE. From the evidence of Ellen Linton, a young girl, charged at Union Hall for stealing from the pantries about Sydenham, it appears that a gang of about twenty boys and girls have long infested this neighbourhood, as well as Camberwell and Dulwich, by plundering every kind of eatable provision, from venison down to a pig's head, from the areas and kitchens of gentlemens' houses, which, on assembling at night in Sydenham Wood, they feasted on. The girl confessed that she never lived so well as she did while with the gang in the wood, and upon the:best provisions. The police have received or ders to disperse this crew. ET...TZCTIONEEP-XTZ G. At a criminal court held by the Sheriff, to inquire into the charges brought against Thomas Purves, mason, and four others, for rioting at the late Haddington elec tion, and assaulting the constables, the prisoners were found guilty of the first charge, but not of the assault, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment in the gaol. THEATRICAL. It is believed that a lady of rank and fashion, a lineal descendant from a dramatic wit and orator, and not less famed for her misfortunes than for her beauty and ta lents, is studying under a distinguished actor, previous to her appearance at Covent Garden. SPORTING. More than eighteen calves having been devoured by the wolves round Berlaimont in the Nord, 100 sportsmen with the inhabitants beat up the game. The first day they roused five, but only killed two. The Duke of Montrose has taken Selby Lodge, North amptonshire, and resides there during the hunting season. The Pytchley hounds are kennelled in the neighbourhood. In the two very spirited rowing matches at Norwich recently, between the Norwich and London watermen. the . pains of both races was completely carried by the Thames men. COITZT-FASIZIONABLE! ------ Her Majesty and Prince Albert leave Claremont for Windsor Castle on Monday. Her Majesty's accouche ment is expected early in November. The Duke of Bedford has arrived at Woburn Abbey, from a visit to the Duke of Rutland in Derbyshire. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort leave town this day for the Isle of Wight. Count Capo D'lstrias arrived at Mivart's Hotel ,on Monday night. Lord and Lady Brougham intend to pass the autumn at Richmond. MISCELLANEOUS. The Hell Packet says—" For a long series of years an island has been gradually forming between Whitton ness and Oystel'ness, in the Humber, and its present ex tent, if we are correctly . informed, is not much under three hundred acres."—When the Tories get authentic intelligence of this new island, we have little doubt that they will instantly saddle it with a Governor, and various other sinecurists, by way of providing for some of their more needy and clamorous dependants. It is now poSitively determined to open the whole line from London to Brighton on the 21st inst. A public meeting at Hull, in favour of commercial freedom, was held at the Town-hall, Hull, last week, when a series of resolutions were passed, on which a petition is to be framed, praying for the removal of re strictions on trade, and no further imposition of taxes. EXPRESS FROM PARIS FRANCE. We have received by Express, news from Paris of Sunday's date. They are not of much political interest. King Louis Philippe, accompanied by the Duke of Orleans and Marshal Soult, visited tile works of the fortifications of Paris on Saturday. M. de Baraude, the Ambassador of France in St. Petersburgh, sailed for France, in the Danae frigate, on the 21st ult. The Paris corn-market was extremely dull on Satur day, not more than 480 sacks of flour were sold on that day, and the prices underwent no alteration. The price of wheat had augmented in four of the provihcial markets and fallen in six. The Toulonnois, of the 2d instant, states that the sudden return of Admiral Hugon's squadron, on the Ist had given rise to many contradictory reports. By some it was thought th e Ad m i ral would be Mahon to demand sa ti s f act i on for the seizure hyvicte_ Spanish authoriti es o f the French war corvette torieuse, and by o th ers that the squadron had b een called back to Toulo n t o be inspected by the Dlinister of Marine.ordered the The Sentinelle of the same date announces, that six ships of that squadron would shortly proceed to Brest, under the command of Admiral Casy• The Sud de Marseiles of the 2d states that all the French men-of-war on the Barcelona station received orders to put to sea on the 28th for an unknown desti- nation. - The Univers announces the arrival at Bordeaux of M.

Orders have been forwarded to all the civil and military au thorities to arrest General Ramon Narvaez, who was believed to have entered Spain on the side of Gibraltar. The Government felt som..what alarmed at the recent acts of insubordination in different corps of the army, and was devising means of preventing their recurrence. M. Campazano had published a pamphlet entitled " Peninsular Union," MORNING SUN in which he propmes a junction of' coniniereial interest! between Spain and Portugal similar to that established between the different States of Germany. GE RMA N Y. The Emperor of Austria, having taken cold at Gratz, had been confined for several days to his apartments. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held at twelve o'clock yester day, at the.
