On S ' atl irday we stigmatised the policy of the Tories 7 'arc aking up the Ministry in June, be cause t he y would on no account permit the Corn-1; tw:s to be touched and recommending in Augu st th at very change, as an untrue, unfaithful, insinc ei :e, and scoundrel policy. It may sound harsh t o same delicate and politely attuned ears to use at ch language, but politics are a most se rious e .n d important branch of morals, and no more p rc per to be spoken slightingly of than murder • a nd parricide. The lin e taken in June by the whole of the Tories, fr am Sir R. PEEL downwards, was to op pose ev -, :r.y kind of commercial relief and every abateinc tof monopoly, and even Whig land lords vc .tcd against the Ministers on the sugar questior t,.becanse that was the precursor of Corn law rei ICal. On the principle then announced the whc eof the county elections were decided, and ton L iintain it a majority of the House of Com mons w a s collected. Its ascendancy has already banishe d hope from the minds of commercial men an .d driven many to bankruptcy. It has convinc. pc 1 the bulk of the working classes that they Cal x expect nothing whatever from the Le gislature., and they look with exultation rathe r than of lierwise at the Tory success as the herald conft sion. Their convictions that the Consti tution i lever can work well are confirmed, and they wi 11 rejoice at its overthrow. The Tory suc cess has also engendered great and just discon tent in I 'r eland. The cries for repeal have be come m e urgent, and threats are now there the staple oi fp üblic harangues. The Tory success, by nourish' ng arrogance in one party and dread in another, k indling alarm and encouraging ha tred, hula a heady done no inconsiderable mischief. There ca ..n be no doubt that it was promoted by the fi ar cc denunciations of the Tory press, but almc ist before the success has been achieved, before th .e mischief is completed, a conviction of error has , taken the place of bold confidence, and those w' ao in June denounced every abatement o mono- )oly have become in August converts to the nec ersity of modifying or abolishing the Corn-la\ ,vzs. The Tory success was 41so in some measur due to the fierce denunciations poured out ago in st the Irish Catholics, as the allies of the NV - hi gs. Religious hatred was used to strengthen political animosity, and stimulate Tory ex eruion. Lord MoapErn was especially rejected by the West Riding of Yorkshire, be cause he seas the friend of Catholic Ireland, and the ally 3f Mr. O'CONNELL. The journals and th e part y that in June nourished these senti ments se em to repent of th em i n A ugust, and n ow ess iy in vain to heal the deep wounds they have int licted. These circumstances are so full of evil, aourishing seeds of frightful convulsion, which are wide-sown in the land, that we can not treat, :them lightly or speak of the poli c y f rom which they fl ow , however cunn ingly contrived, in any other language than that of the severest reprobati Lon. The T. Imes yesterday gave us another sped_ men of t he same conduct, and the Times is only worthy cif notice as the organ of the Tories. After abusing the Catholic priests and the Catholic population of Ireland for many months, proposin g at one time to reconquer the country, atanothe r calling the priests " surpliced ruffians," so that the Times has been singled out by the Catholics of Ireland, as affording, by its large circulation, an index to the hatred with which the English regard the Irish Catholics,—the Times yesterday uttered the following hearty approval of the policy adopted by its opponents, and the. following severe condemnation of its own conduct. Speaking of the Protestant Association, the intemperate language of which has been re peatedly condemned in The Sun, the Times said— When we find a professedly religious society speak ing a the collective clergy of that communion in the sister island, as " not more honest than those of Maho met, not more pure than those of Paganism, not less in human than th e of Juggernaut," we really cannot sympathise with o wholesale and monstrous an accusa tion. It is too like the assertion made last year, at a meeting of this same Society, that " Popery is the re ligion of the Devil." Words such as these are foolish, intemperate, and profane ; they excite nothing but dis gust in the minds of practical and moderate men ; their inevitable effect is to recoil upon those who use them. To the use of such language it justly ascribes much of the irritation which has been kept up in Ireland; but till the elections were gained and the temporary purposes of party were served, the Times, far from condemning such language, con tinually used it. While the stirring up of strife and the encouragement of intolerance could se cure avote, the Times was the most diligent hand at the cauldron. Now it puts out the fire in order to smooth Sir R. PEEL'S difficulties with Ireland. It takes the Protestant Association to task for borrowing its facts, quoting its language, and following its example. ral th e Wbig s We fekly defeated, their policy, i and the character and conduct of that part of the I population who supported them, were incessantly condemned ; but now that their opponents have a great chalice of acceding to office, their policy is praised and adopted, and their sup porters are not to be vituperated by the Protest ant Association. Such changes can only make the PEEL party thoroughly contemptible. They must be regarded as dishonest politicians, and the sincere men who supported them, from a belief in their sincerity, must be ashamed of their company. The Protestant Association was one of their pillars. The bigotry which that Society has nourished was one of the elements of Tory success; but now that the Tories have scaled office, as they suppose, the ladder is to be kicked down as a worthless instrument. The Tories, in fact, find it is impossible to carry out the policy they have long been advocating with such mischievous effects, and they are now jostling against each other, in their hurry to leave it. The country will, however, yet call them to a severe account, and brand them as wilful and designing political knaves. The writer, who abuses his imitators to vaunt Sir ROBERT PEEL'S moderation, proves at the same time that Sir- ROBERT PEEL can govern neither Ireland nor England. Sir ROBERT is to vindicate the supremacy of the law. If that remark be not that mere common-place stuffing ith which writers and speakers fill out their thin mannikin of sense to some required fullness, it shows that Sir R. PEEL cannot be successful. The Irish, like the English, with respect to trade, complain of the laws, not of their supre macy not being vindicated. The laws of Ireland have always been made by a small and narrow oligarchy fl)r the purposes of preserving their own tyranny. To vindicate the supremacy of the laws in Ireland is to ensure Orange domination. and maintain the hated Church Establishment. In Ireland, as in England, the law is the source of the mischief ; and to take office with a deter mination to vindicate its supremacy, and pre serve it unaltered, is to provoke and justify re bellion. It seems now desirable to enforce on politicians, and particularly on the Tories, the maxim that unjust laws ought not to be obeyed, and the only way to vindicate is to abolish them. We direct public attention to the letter of a " Clergyman of the Church of England" to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and we are happy to say, for the reputation of the Church, that he is not the only one who has taken the side of justice and the poor. It is not yet wholly too late for the body of the clergy to redeem themselves in the public estimation, and restore the Church to some share of the confidence and affections of the people ; but they have no time to lose, and must at once become, like the Reverend BAPTIST NOEL, Corn-law repealers. Jou N BULL was never yet starved into affection, and the clergy never followed a more short-sighted policy, than when they generally took the part of the bread taxers. Unfortunately for them, their pecuniary interest lies on the same side, and the people look on them as having trampled under foot the principles both of morality and religion, to gain the most sordid ends. If they do not retrieve their character by some general demonstration against the dishonest regulation, by which they are supposed to profit, no claims to holiness will ever suffice to replace them in the affections and confidence of the people. A Liverpool Journal, an advocate of the Corn law and the aristocracy, tells us, by way of ac counting for the difficulties in which our com merce is involved, that We produce the cheapest—i. e., the lowest priced— goods of any manufacturing nation. Our goods are no toriously the rubbish of half the markets of the world, and the least in estimation. It is no longer a recom mendation for any article to be of British manufacture ; but, on the contrary, the term stamps it to be of doubtful and spurious quality. We have become quack imitators of other men's wares, and pirates of other men's pat terns and fabrics. We steal even their labels and adopt their names ; and, as a natural result, when we do pro duce and offer for sale an article of our own, it is viewed with suspicion, and purchased only at a depreciated price. From the consequences of such a system of car rying on our operations in foreign markets it is that we are now suffering. To this cause at least is to be attri buted a great portion of our distress. We have for years boon affliotod with a mania for procluo;Angak a °hoar rate ; and, as is the case of all venders of cheap wares, the buyers have become tired of exchanging their money for trash." We are much afraid that there is a good deal of truth in this, and that our merchants and manufacturers driven by the difficulty of making sales from high prices, are willing to imitate the aristocracy and the priesthood, who are notorious for taking that which does not honestly belong to them—have been endeavour ing to keep their heads above water by the arts described by the Liverpool Standard. Suppos ing the observation to be correct, it is calculated to excite no inconsiderable alarm. That Eng land cannot hold her high place amongst na tions, nor provide her present vast revenue without extensive trade, is quite certain; but if that extensive trade, or much of it, be conducted on the principle above stated, it must soon come to an end. Honest rivals will beat us out of the field ; and, as the demand for our manufactures decreases, our mills will stand idle, the popula tion will be unemployed, and the consequences of that are enough to fill the stoutest heart with fear arid dread. We at least read the paragraph of the Liverpool paper with apprehension, as an additional proof to the many which crowd upon us, that our national prosperity has reached its height, unless the laws be altered, and an ex ample of honesty and justice be set by those who I make them. The French Journals of Sunday have all reached us, but their contents are of little inte rest. They confirm the reports which have been hitherto circulated respecting the intrigues which the KING of the FRENCH is carrying on in Spain. A revolution for upsetting the Re gency is already organised, and it is reported that large bodies of the National Guards and troops of the line have been bribed to support it. But ESPARTERO is a man of energy and courage, and we are confident that if an attempt to overturn the Government be made, he will not be wanting in those resources for the protection of the State which the Cortes have placed at his disposal.

The case of Mr. Wood's will, which has been so long before the public, was expected to be finally settled yesterday, but owing to insufficiency in the number of jurymen it has been again delayed. ELECTIONEERING. A Liberal dinner was given to Mr. Marjoribanks al Hythe, on Thursday, in honour of his return. COURT-PASITIONARLES. The baths of Lucca are, it is said, filling fast with fashionable English visitors. Lord Holland is among the number. The Duke of Buecleugh has returned to Montague• house, 'Whitehall. Viscount Melbourne will give a Cabinet dinner on Saturday, in South-street. The Lord Chancellor arrived in town yesterday. Lord and Lady Villiers have returned to Drayton Manor. The Duke of Argyll has been seriously indisposed at Inverary. MISCELLANEOUS. -- On Sunday last Father Mathew administered the temperance pledge to upwards of 20,000 persons in the North of Ireland. The London and Brighton Railway will be opened the whole distance on the 15th Sept. A gentleman who has just come from the manu facturing districts, informs us that discontent and distress are very generally prevalent there, and that apprehensions of a serious crisis are entertained, should Sir Robert Peel not adopt a Liberal system of policy. A piece of Chinese artillery, taken from the Ad miral's junk, at the island of Chusan, has been presented by Captain Trail, who was present with the expedition, to the Dundee Institution. A similar piece has also been forwarded to Cupar Fife. The University of Edinburgh on Monday last, eon (erred the degree of Doctor of Medicine on 103 gentlemen. Rulvxouns OF THE DAY. It is rumoured that the amount of our military force is quietly and hourly augmenting in Ireland. We learn that the Duke of Buckingham is to be ap. pointed First Lord of the Admiralty. • THE " d.

A FACT IN FAVOUR OF THE BALLOT.--Let the opponents of protection to the voter,—let those shilly-shallyers who think " the time has not yet come," for the application of the Ballot—read and ponder the following startling and significant truth. The Duke of Northumberland has 400 tenants-at-will, possessing votes in North Northumberland, and the polling-books show that out of these 400 the number who voted in favour of Lord Howick amounted precisely to two ! —not 200, but two single individuals ! To add one word by way of showing the full meaning of this fact, would be superfluous, —to proceed to argue from it, would only weaken its force. No man in his senses would venture to say that there is to be found in broad Britain a rural parish, or a street of a town, containing 400 inhabitants, 398 of whom are, to a man, of one mind in politics, or in almost anything else, regard ing which there can be more than one opinion ; and no honest man will attempt to avoid the inference that not some, but many out of these 398 of the Duke's tenants must have been coerced to vote against their wishes and convictions. It may be added that those who possess the best means of forming an opinion on the subject from acquaintanceship, local residence, and being en gaged in the late canvass—estimate that (plumpers and splits together) 350 out of the 400 were desirous, were eager, to vote, for Lord Howick. All of these, till but two suffered their independence to be trampled down by the myrmidons of the Castle ! High honour to the two !—the brave and honest two ! The Lord of Aln wick Castle ought to be prouder of numbering among his tenants these two, who, like men and Englishmen, withstood his tyranny and defended and preserved their rights, than of the hundreds of serfs who suffered him to rob them of their freedom, their honesty, and their self -respect.—Berwick .Adoertiser. PICTURE OF A SAVAGE.—I observed a na tive on the opposite bank, and without being seen by him. I stood awhile to watch the habits of a savage man at home. His hands were ready to seize, his teeth to eat, any living thing ; his step, light and soundless as that of a shadow, gave no intimation of his approach. His walk suggested the idea of the prowling of a beast of prey —every little track or impression left on the earth by the lower animals caught his keen eye ; but the trees overhead chiefly engaged his attention. Deep in the hollow heart of some of the upper branches was hidden, as it seemed, the opposum on which he was to dine. The wind blew keenly through the lofty trees on the river margin,. yet the brawny savage was entirely naked. Had I been unarmed, I had much rather met a lion than that sinewy biped ; but I was on horseback, with pistols in my holsters, and the broad river was flowing between us. I overlooked him from a high bank, and I ventured to disturb his meditations with a halloo. He then stood still, looked at me for about a minute, and then retired, with that easy bounding kind of step which may be termed a running walk, exhibited an unrestrai ne d faci lity of movem en t, a pparently incompatible with dress of any kind. It is bounding lightly at such a pace, that, with the additional aid of the warramerah (a short notched stick), the native can throw his spear with —Major Mitch e ll' s Thi r d Expedi sufficient force and velocity to kill the emu or k angaroo, e t i v oenn into whe t n h e at A NOVEL ORDER.—Last week, wr i tes a pro vincial f t s e r s io p r e e of d 'Eastern Aust ra li a . editor, a gentleman called at our pri n ting-office, and requested that we would print for him about two hundred letters. On handing the copy to us, we were surprised to read the following contents " 18 g, M y D EAR —I hasten to inform you that my dear wife Susan presented me with a fine —, at o'clock —, and that she and the dear babe are doing as well as can be expected.' You are aware that this is my —teenth blessing.—Ever yours, This " novel order" certainly caused us to cast up an in quiring look, as much as to say, " Are you in earnest?" —for his reply was, "I am really in earnest" " You know," he continued, " Airs. --- has just been con fined with the twelfth, and I see no prospect of her arriving at the end of the chapter.

FIELD MUSHROOMS,—Persont at this season of the year cannot be too cautious in the felielee cf mush rooms. On Monday afterneon a riutilly named Harper, residing in., BeilViek-streut, Soho, nearly lost their lives by 'eating too thely of some stewed mushrooms, which hi the course of the morning had been purchased of a country-looking lad, who was hawking them in a basket about the streets for sale. Shortly after eating the same, they were se i ze d w i t h v i olent retching, attended with cholic bsins in th e s t omac h , which, had not medical assistance een promptly procured, would most probably have proved fatal. Besides several poisonous "fungi," there is a variety of the tuber, which, although an innocuous catsup may be made from them, yet are dangerous to be eaten, being highly indigestible. and apt to swell in the stomach, pre , ducing very painful and dangerous cOnseqiitnces. The best way to test the quality of kithellrooms is to intro duce a silver spoon, or A. new drilling or sixpence, or an onion, into a vessel In Which mushrooms are seething ; if, on taking either of them out, they assume A dark dis coloured apJearance, the circumstance kke4l6t4E4 tkt rte . - 8011C0 ti poison existing among them the •otil'er hand, the metal or onion san being withdrawn - lila We liquor wears its natural appearance the *oft Mi 47 garded as being gen u in e an of iii " PEEL nAS 0." 1- z=.11.t.t. liingest Administra tions since the itcceggeh of George the Third were Lord North's ) iron).

FOREIGN. • --:We were misinformed yesterday respecting the postponement of the trial of Madame Laffarge for the robbery of the diamonds. No time has been allowed for bringing her witness from Mexico. In the mean time those quacks, the phrenologists, have been at work upon the cranium of the unfortunate woman. On her appearance in Court, the Corre spondent of the Presse discovered that her mouth, although large, expressed a " sarcastic cunning, im patient to attack," and that her physiognomy pourtrayed " treachery and audacity." Of what use is trial by Jury in a country where men allow their minds to be in fluenced by such absurdities ? The King of the French and the ex-Regent of Spain are hard at work plotting the downfal of the Constitu tionalists in the Peninsula. Never did Espartero stand in greater need of the support of Lord Palmerston. We greatly fear that Spain will have cause to mourn in tears of blood the accession of the Tories to office. Among the most ridiculous of the designs of the French Legitimists is one for placing the young Duke of Bordeaux,HenryV., as his partisans style him,on the throne of Syria. Unfortunately, the Great Powers have recently declared the occupation of this throne to be one of the rights of the Sultan. The French Carlists, however, will not be content without a throne for their idol, by way of preparing him for a triumphant return to France, when ever it shall please the Republicans to rid the world of Louis Philippe. The madness of a Legitimist, like that of a Tory, is incurable. As easy would it have been to restore the Stuarts to the throne of England twelve years after the Revolution of 1688, as to dream of reconciling the French to the sway of the elder branch of the Bourbons. The force of steam and the increasing necessities of unrestricted intercourse are gradually breaking down obstructions. The movement of the Turkish provinces that border the Danube has led to the dispensing, on the part of Austria, with the quarantine at Orsova; so that travellers may now proceed up that river without impe diment, and make the passage from Constantinople to Vienna in thirteen days. The German Papers say that the Duke d'Aremberg intends to give a tournament on the occasion of his daughter's marriage to Prince Aldobrandini Borghese. Upwards of two hundred silver rings arc to be prizes for the victors. From the Hamburgh brig Helene, which arrived at Falmouth on Sunday, from Buenos Ayres, we learn by the Master's report, that an action had taken place between the Buenos Ayres and Monte Videan squadrons, off Monte Video. A great many men were killed and wounded on both sides, and though their ships were much shattered, neither party boasted a victory. The second Affghan campaign has been of a dif ferent character from the first. From the beginning of January, 1840, to the month of March in this year, our troops have been engaged in 23 conflicts, chiefly with the fierce predatory clans of the country. We have sus tained 13 defeats or checks in the mountains, or before their natural fortresses. We have lost 1,400 men and 17 European officers ; and the service on which the British army is engaged, at an expense of 3,000,0001. or 4,000,0001. per annum, is a perpetual desultory warfare. PIIIIL/C OPINION. The Morning Post, with its wonted disregard of truth, accuses Ministers of having proposed an alteration in the Corn-laws with no other view than to trick the people, observing—‘. They hit upon an alteration of the Corn -law, and an extended application in other matters of the principles of free trade, as the talisman by means of which they thought they could charm the people of England out of all memory of what had passed, and all power of understanding what was to come. They cheated not the people, but themselves. The bait was not swal lowed." No other charge can be brought against Minis ters than that of having been much too dilatory in bring ing forward their remedial measures. They should have proposed them at least four years ago. It is their hav ing failed to do so that has occasioned the present gene ral feeling of distrust towards them. As for trickery, there is none in the case. The Tories monopolise this. The Advertiser is quite decided on the subject of the abolition of the Corn monopoly. Down it must go, observes our Contemporary. " The force (he adds)which at this moment is pitted in antagonism to the Corn-laws, is the force of necessity—a force so stern and unrelent ing, as inevitably and at once to crush into atoms what ever power may dare to oppose it. Not more mad or hopeless, should the approaching harvest prove deficient, would be the effort to arrest the progress of the flowing ocean, than will be the attempt, should it be made, in the coming winter, to resist the demand for the extinc tion of the Corn monopoly. Down that monopoly must go, and down must go the Government, aye, and fifty adverse Governments, were it possible to form as many, that dares attempt to support it." The Times thus defines its notions on the Poor-law Bill :—" We have urged, as we ever shall urge, in the name of humanity and justice, the discontinuance of a system which operates to the oppression of deserving objects. We have said, and we say again, that those who use a penal test are morally bound to discriminate, and that the sweeping application of such a test to all classes of paupers is an intolerable wrong. But what then ?We did not suggest-that the administrators of the law should therefore enter into a moral classification of paupers, and apportion the degrees of relief to the relative degrees of merit. We suggested, or rather we demanded, in the name of the country, the immediate abolition of the present penal test, as vicious in principle ; and we insisted upon the necessity of substituting an other, which could be applied with equal uniformity to all able-bodied applicants for relief, and which would be quite as effectual in protecting the country against the demands of the dissolute and the idle." The Herald, in an article suggested by the present state of Belgium, advocates the re-annexation of that kingdom to Holland :—" The least excuse, or a lucky accident, will, in all probability, if the progress of events be undisturbed, restore the kingdom of the Netherlands, as laid down in 1815, to the territorial settlement of Europe. Now we venture to think that this quiet and peaceable re-annexation would be an event desirable for European peace and policy. The present position of Belgium is not, as we have seen, advantageous to her self, and it is perilous to Europe. There is no hope of permanent stability for her existing situation." A " quiet and peaceable re-annexation" is a manifest absurdity, after the acrimonious spirit evinced by Belgium and Hol land towards each other, in 1830, and some years pre viously. That spirit is not yet mellowed down, nor is k likely to be, for a long time to come. The Chronicle describes the pres!ent state of the country in these forcible terms, z---" Sir Robert Peel will soon find that he has to enfnunter powers much more formidable than the Combatants' of ' party interests.' The principles of justice, and even of self-presetritioh, are in the field against him. The blood ct humanity is up, not for a party interest, but against an atro cious crime and a terrible calamity. Want is in our streets and despair in our cottages. Forebodings of riot and starvation are rising on the fancy. The poison of monopoly is in the veins of the aoeid sys tem The protest of religion against oppression is re corded in Heaven. Whoever will rule In 'England must, willingly or unwillingly, untax the people's bread. No matter for votes, divisions, and party interests. Relief is demanded by justice and humanity. The cry will not relax for the sake of Whig or Where, again we ask, is Sir Robert-Peers rem*ibr this state of things ? The answer is ready. lie has no time to think of one. He is busy reconciling differences among his own party. He is engaged in the momentous task of persuading Lord Stanley to practice the soothing system. When he has done this—whi c h we suspect he will never do—he will then have leisure to prescribe for the country. Was ever Minister so engaged at such a crisis ? MONEY-TRADE -COMMERCE. The silver mines in the island of Sark are now said to be yielding a lucrative return to the shareholders. Eighty tons of silver were shipped off last week. The Leeds Times observes that the decrease in our woollen exports is most marked and striking in those countries which may be characterized as corn-growing countries, and whose most abundant produce our absurd and ruinous restrictions prevent us taking in exchange for our manufactures. AGILICUL'rUItII.I. The next meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society is appointed to take place in Bristol, The tenant pauperising system is again in full vogue. It is announced, for example, that the Earl of Lonsdale, at his last audit day, remitted from 20 to 25 per cent. to his tenants on their rent. Has he demanded more from them than is just, or is the remittance the price of their votes ? The Leibeigners of Germany, are so named, we believe, as owning nothing but their bodies. Lord Lonsdah's tenants seem worse than the German Leibeigners, for they seem to own in integrity and independence neither body nor soul.

Arguelles, the new guardian of Queen Isabel 11., had appointed the widow of General Mina Guardian to his Royal Ward, in the place of the Marchioness of Santa Cruz, and M. Busto, Bishop elect of Tortosa, Confessor tQ her Majesty, in the room of the Patriarch of the Indies. A letter from Madrid informs us that the elevation of Madame Mina to the post of Governess to the young Queen has done more harm to the ruling party than fifty protests of Queen Christina could do. Espartero is un easy at the aspect of things. All parties are disap pointed in their expectations of him, and a large portion of the army is not friendly. The Corrco Nacional mentions that Ministers intended to demand extraordinary powers from the Cortes. The Madrid Gazette contains a circular addressed by the Minister of War to the Captains-General of the pro vinces, recommending them to caution the troops under their orders against the calumnies propagated by the enemies of the Constitution for the purpose of creating disunion between the army and the citizens. El Corresponsal quotes a letter from Mahon, an nouncing that the numerous ships of war cruising off the Balearic Islands occasioned some uneasiness. The French were extending the buildings of their hospital in the Island del Rey, the lease of which had been re newed. The Five per Cents. were done at 24 f9r ea* and 24} 9-16 at 60 days.

Said Bey had not yet been admitted to an audience of the Sultan : but preparations were making for that purpose on a most magnificent scale. The real object of his mission was still unknown. Some believed he has been sent to negotiate a diminution of 1 the amount of tribute to be paid by the Viceroy, whilst others positively asserted that he was instructed to form a close union between all the influential Osmanlis against the Christians. M. Titoff, the Russian Ambassador, was said to be on bad terms with the Divan. Accounts from Crindia state that Tahir Pasha had been wounded in a late engagement with the insurgents.

We have received Hobart Town Papers to the 10th of April: It is our pleasing task to announce the safe re turn to our port of her Majesty's discovery ships Erebus and Terror, Captain Ross and Crozier, after a voyage of six months to the Antartic Pole. The expedition has been crowned with the most complete success. As soon as the season promises a chance of additional success, Captain Ross will again explore the Antartic regions. The barrier of ice which impeded their further progress was traced for three hundred miles eastward. This expedition has penetrated four degrees further South than that of the French or Americans. The ap pearance of these inhospitable regions is represented as one continued scene of valleys of ice and mountains of snow. A discovery was made of a volcanic mountain in a desert of ice and snow, which must have been extremely strange if not terrific, and will, no doubt, in England, furnish the subject of many a panoramic painting. The officers and crew are all in the enjoyment of excellent health.

M. de Mulinear, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has resivied, though he retains his seat in the Council of Ministers. He is superseded by Count de Briay, the Finance Minister, who is himself re-placed by M. Smitz, the Director of the Belgian Bank. Reports say that Count de Mulinear Was opposed to the projected Customs union between France and Belgium. The Moniteur of Monday announces the sailing of the Inflexible and Santi Petri ships-of-the-line of the Bth from Toulouse, under the command of Rear-Admiral Lasusse. " This officer," says the Moniteur," has been instructed to re-establish in the seas of the Levant a naval station charged to watch over the protection of French commerce. He will unite under his orders the different ships of war employed in those seas." The accounts from Toulouse, published by the Govern ment, were still satisfactory, but the opposition to the fiscal measures of M. Humann was hourly gaining strength. The municipal authorities of Bordeaux, Troyes, and Douay had protested against them. The National Guard of Condom had forwarded a con gratulatory address to their comrades of Toulouse ; another was preparing in Paris. According to the Frankfort Journal of the 3d, his Royal Highness the Due de Bordeaux was said to have had his arm broken by a fall from his horse near Kirch berg. ' Madame Laffarge has been found guilty. Although it rained rather heavily in Paris on Mon day, the fears for the harvest were fast subsiding. According to a return 'published in the Moniteur of Monday, 38,000 people of colour were emancipated in the French colonies since 1830. Le Temps, referring to what it mentioned yesterday about an intended revolution in Spain, says that the movement is to break out on the 15th, and the army, headed by Don Diego Leon, to share in it. -During some days rumours had prevailed that a gene ral insurrection against the fortifications of Paris was about to take place. We are enabled, however, to dis credit the report. It was reported on the Paris Bourse that intelli gence of the Sultan's death had been received by Go• vernment. CHANCERY COURT.-(T HIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the ROLLS gave judgment in the above cause this mornicg, and dismissed both bills with costs. His Lordship said that he was of opinion that the lease granted to Holmes was void, but that the Corporation of Arundel should have brought their action at law instead of proceeding in equity. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. The mPrket was inactive, but holders were firm, and in prices little variation took place for any article. TEA MARKET. The prices were very firmly supported at the public sales ; notwithstanding the large quantity brought forward, the bulk was sold, with fair competition, the trade being mostly out of stock. Company's Congou in demand at 2s. 7id. per lb. cash. The general opinion is that prices will advance considerably ere long, there being now but few good useful Teas left in stock. TALLOW MARKET.

The fasts of the murder; as far as we at present can ascertain, are as fella* e....- - The children had gone on Saturday, 27th March, on a visit to Nth' hunt; with the intention of returning home during the clay ; hat as they had not been seen by their friends up to Monday, considetable apprehensions were entertained for their safety, and their father pro ceeded over to their aunt's to make inquiries. On arrie hill there he found that they had left their aunt's, as an ticipated, on Saturday afternoon, to return home. An immediate search was made about the neighbourhood, but up to four o'clock no trace of the missing chil dren could be discovered. Shortly after that time a stockman, in driving his cattle to a water-hole, to drink, found it extremely ~'!jfficult to induce the beasts to ap proach the spot. This ren izkable feet led him forward, and upon looking among the rushes and weeds, he was exceedingly alarmed at the sight of 1:7:0 apparently naked bodies lying therein, with a heavy log of wood placed across them to keep them under the tvi.2! .er. In stant alarm was given of the circumstance, aria bodies, on being drawn out, proved to be those of the th itnfortnnate Murkeys ; measures were hereupon taken to leqe thq peel:let - eaters of so shocking a murder, and sits= unon, Me blahs belonging to a tribe ell camped in the neighboud io ai l .

PARIS, AUG. B.—You have probably ere this been made 'aware of the important proceedings which have taken place at the Petals Royal, the residence, tau last week of the ex-Queen Regent of Spain. It is, there fore, almost unnecessary to enter further into detail thin to say that the object of her Maiests visit here on the special invitation her uncle, King Louis ifhillippe• been attained. That object was to prepare and orgaln 46 a counter-revolution in Spain. It may not be superfluou s to state, however, a few particulars of this highly inn" portant affair. The Anglomanie, as it is termed, of Espartero, is L ll the eyes of the French, Government a crime not to f r atoned for. His impracticability unfits him for an " strument of King Louis Philippe, who * is believed w this instance, as in all others, (the fortifications, for ex' ample), never for a moment to have lost sight of the plan he projected for placing one of his sons on t he Spanish Throne. These considerations alone, (but ther e were others) would have sufficed to induce his Molest); to take under his especial care the ex-Queen Regent, an' to direct her in her course, and out of this arose he r famous protest. At the moment when that document .appeared, so le of her Majesty's friends, not among the initiated, inr gined it was ill-timed, but they were mistaken. Eon s : . saries from Madrid, Barcelona, and the Basque P re ,i vinces, had arrived in Paris, and made their reports, in i :; the counter-revolution was organised. The prineiP" personages who were to lead in the revolt determined were ordered to their • posts, and they will have arri7. in Madrid and Catalonia, and in the Basque provinne 4 ere this nitet the light. The dpnbt of the ppportunite of the protest above Ow ded aivasionnded on the general belief that Espartt r° , was so mtia. beloved by the army and the country* ," no attempt against him could succeed ; but now the ow, melt would appear 'to have been auspicious, because 01 , his proposed reform and reduction of the Royal GOV' who still preserve their attachment for Queen Christina' In Catalonia, moreover, public opinion has changed agall Espartero, in consequence of his predilection for Engler and his consequent encouragement of English trade ; an"; in the Basque provinces the people have again been alarnieu for their fueros. Besides all this, some distinguished lead ers of the army, either from loyalty to the ex-Quelei 4 or jealousy of Espartero, or from a sense of neglect -'on his part, or other motives, have expressed their readi ness to engage in any attempt for restoring her Majesty to the management of the kingdom of her august daugh ter, and for overthrowing that formidable and dangerous, power which the King of the French had, with e xtreme regret, seen erected and established so close to his Oyu' dominions. The blow will probably have been struck by the time the . , this will reach you. In Madrid the Garde Royale ww revolt, and will, say the Queen's friends, be joined the troops of the line, but this appears doubtful. prove true, the counter-revolution will be complete. „villa Catalonia and other districts the cry of " Down wi _ n _ English manufactures !"

In the Basque provinces and t a nd shout ." Our fueros !" will produce a magical effeed: into the ex-soldiery of Don Carlos who have r eturne Spain are instructed to make common cause with the in sur'ents, for reasons rather obvious. Tike Henry (the Duke de Bordeaux), Don Carlos sees in every species of disorder in his country an event calculated to precipi tate his own advent to the Throne of it. Thus all would seem menacing for Espartero and the` Exaltados. So convinced, or so sanguine, is Queen Christina of success, that she already laments having pur chased the hotel in the Rue de Courcelles, to which she removed last Monday (and which, from its having been the residence of Don Pedro and his daughter, Don n e Maria, is called the Hotel de Bragance). If, on the other hand, the attempt be defeated, Espar' tero will instantly demand her removal from Paris ana her expulsion from France, and it must be complied with. If the struggle become long, the great Powers of Europe will interfere. In these hurried, and, I fear, somewhat irregular lineS,- you have the leading points of a very important affair ' have endeavoured to confine myself to narrative, and , so far as was possible, without rendering the matter ob scure, refrained from the mention of persons. It would not have been enough to have • drily said, " Spain is about to become again the theatre of a sanguinary contest for its throne." I had a duty to perform, and it is done without, I trust, the expression of regard for one over any other interest involved—England, France, Sputa' Queen Christina, Espartero, Don Carlos, Constitution alism, or Absolutism.—Correspondent of the Times. NEW ZEALAND. - - Extract of a letter from a valued and enterprising s 4• tier in New Zealand to a friend in India, which, although not intended for publication, is of too interesting a chr racter to be kept from the public 2.iy dear —, many thanks for your two letters of July and August, I must say that you are an uncom mon croaker. You anticipate all sorts of difficulties in our settlement, and I recollect before we left England your foreboding no goad to the expedition. Consider' ing your own courage this is surprising; but I think th e tone of your last letter is better, and looks as 3 ' even you thought that w should succeed. My owri opinion is, that no settlemevt ever went ahead so fa 4 as this has done. In fifteen ~months we have a pop', lation of 2,000 English and 800 natives, all on the most friendly terms, not one serious quarrel havitg occurred during the time. One magistrate and thirty soldiers are our only government. A large town has s 1 rung up Every , Commodity, and most of the luxuries of rife, are found here at reasonable prices, and the necessaries of li f e are cheaper here than in England. We have always t e , 11 ., or twelve vessels lying in the harbour, and every booi, seems to be making money. (,due voulez vous de pius Races I a theatre ! and a variety fair.

There has not occurred one death 0C an adult from natural causes since we landed. Tyre' or three infants, and a few persons drowned by R eel-- dents, have been the only thing like casualties.

I hope before long my Emily will come out. whom I shall hope to have at the head of my house. I heard once from --, who talked of coming out here. If yon write to him, say how glad I shall be to see him, and that his fears as to roughing it,' are groundless.
