The extent to which bribery has been carried at the last election has induced a number of Whigs to question the advantage which the country would derive from the further extension of the suffrage. Among the many misthrtunes of the poor it is not among the least aggravating that they are perpetually punished for the crimes of the rich. The poor man does not bribe—he does not abuse the gifts of GOD to blacken his neighbour's soul with the guilt of pet jury—he does not, to procure notoriety for himself as the representative of others, trample upon the known and recorded laws of GOD and of his country ; but because the wealthy and the titled scruple not to commit these crimes, he is to have no share in the enacting of the laws by which he is to be governed, taxed, and perhaps i nined for the exclusive profit of the law-makers. To keep the rich and the intentionally corrupt, not morally hut legally guiltless, he is to be deprived of the only right of citizenship by which he can contribute to the enactment and just administration of those laws which he con- s;ders essential to the welfare of his country. The offence of the poor recipient of a bribe is vc•nal, when contrasted with the enormous crime or which the wealthy briber is guilty. Between the two individuals there is the same difference as between the old serpent and our first parents. The one is the tempter, the other the tempted. The wealthy briber is a volunteer in the service of the father of lies. He devotes his substance to the moral and religious corruption of a fellow creature, whose poverty renders the temptation, which he would otherwise have spurned, irrr_ sistible. As well might we cut off the haws of the poor because the rich might employ th em in acts of violence, or cut out their tor,gues be cause they might be bribed to tell lies, as to deprive them of civil rights as a preventive of all abuse of them. But supposing, for argument's sake, the cri minality of the bribers and the bribed to be equal, wherefore not mete out to them the same punishment? If the poor man is not to have a vote because he may be bribed, why not deprive the rich man of the suffrage, who is suspected of -an inclination to bribe him? Is the man capable of bribing another less to be dreaded than the poor wretch who pockets the wages of perjury ? Is he a jot more trustworthy as a citizen or a legislator ? Most assuredly not. If, then, a sense of justice actuates the Whigs, who regard with distrust the extension of the suffrage, let them strike at the root of the evil. We will not only believe them sincere, but we will co-operate with them, if they will begin with insisting upon the disfranchisement of every Whig and Tory landlord in the United Kingdom, who was guilty of bribery at the last election. We have no objection to follow this measure up with the disfranchisement of every elector who .re.ceived a bribe. B u t we are for punish ing the greatest criminals first. In this wa y some approach will be made to equal j ust i ce to all parties. But in doing this we would confine the punishment to the To refuse a poor man the right of voting because there is some rich man in his neighbour -I,ood su pposed vile enough to attempt t o corrupt him, is an act of as gross injustice as to strip the rich man of his wealth, under the pretext of preventing him from expending any part of it in bribery. We -I I ave no more cause to rob the 'poor man of his political rights to keep the ri c h , Than honest, than we have to deprive the rich 1 U of his wealth to save the poor man's soul frOm the possible guilt of perjury. One of the most foul and atroci -- m8 maxims ever broached by the Whigs - , * ,,,as that which con tended for the sound ;licy of beating the Tories with their chicx weapon—corruption . It was the corninene_ . ement of a crusade of the rank and lve`..ith of the county against the honesty and Patrioti sm o f t h e industrious c l asse s. It was bringing all that society deemed g reat, and powerful, and command i ng in t h e na tion to bear kwn and crush every principle of pub lic - virtue in the minds of the people. Against Stich a wicked combination no people could preserve their integrity ; and should this maxim ever come to be genera ll y acte d u pon public liberty will not long outlive the filmic which it will then receive. Society must fall to pieces, and a revolution in the Government visit upon a corrupt aristo cracy all the dreadful consequences of those crimes by which they sapped its deepest founda tions. It is the true interest of the aristocracy to extend and purify the franchise. It is the duty of the Whigs, if they value the Constitution under which we live, to protect the people against the corrupt influence of the Tories. The fran rhise ,is the basis of public liberty. The wider it 4r , .11s - v • s ~„ n ~010 D Zbic is, the more security is given to all the institu tions which rest upon it. Nothing but the most excellent government on the part of the few can justify the withholding political rights from the many. The rich aristo crat who would deny the electoral suffrage to an artisan or a labourer, ought to be able ,to say to him, "In what way could your condition in life be better than it is ? We, who govern you, have provided for you an abundance of em ployment, and a ready remunerating market for the proceeds of your industry. By a moderate share of toil, and a proper attention to economy, you can support yourself and your family de cently, comfortably, and independently. There are schools in abundance, for the education of your children, where good morals are instilled into their minds without any ' attempt to unsettle their peculiar religious principles by a system of soul-kidnapping called proselytizing. You are called upon to support no institution by which you do not, more or less, benefit; you are taxed to maintain no church whose tenets you do not believe. We give you peace and plenty; freedom of body and mind ; we afford you the means of educating your children intel ligently and virtuously; and we endeavour in all respects to set you a good example; for what, therefore, do you seek an extension of political rights?" Can any of those who would oppose the extension of the suffrage in Great Britain address such language to the people ? Can they even, by any stretch of the imagination, point out in what way the condition of the bulk of the working classes could be worse than it now is, had the whole business of legislation been left to the most ignorant among them for the last quarter of a century ? Could they be worse than without work, without food, without rai ment, without shelter, and without hope of im provement? Could they, by any contrivance, have inflicted greater misery upon themselves than the combined wisdom of their Whig and Tory rulers has done ? These are common sense views of this question, which those who claim the suffrage are quite capable of taking; nor will any ridicule attempted to be cast upon them by the middle classes weaken their force in the least. Our Whig friends would do well to reflect upon them. To desert the people in their struggle for an extension of the franchise, would be, to borrow a metaphor from the late Lord CASTLEREAGH, to turn their backs upon them selves. Unless the people find sympathy from the classes now above them, and are brought by justice and kindness to amalgamate their influ ence with theirs, the time ,will come, and that quickly too, when, with their growing intelli gence, and their growing sense of estrangement, they will form a power in the State capable of controlling both the Crown and the aristocracy. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who has written so ably of the origin of the French Revolution, ought to have reflected upon this, before propounding to the country his finality doctrine. Lord HowicK's speech to the Electors of Sunderland on Friday last—which will he found in another part of The Sun—is one of the most able attacks on the Starvation Cabinet that has yet been made by any of the supporters of the late Ministry. The Noble Lord is not a man who makes any secret of his opinions either of or things. He has no confidence in the Cabinet, and he not only says so, but gives reasons for having none. After fifteen years of a Parliamentary life he is of opinion that " Sir ROBERT PEEL has shown himself most lamentably deficient in that fore- sight and judgment which are the essential qua- lilies of a reai statesman." Of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S colleagues, and more especially the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and Sir EDWARD KNATCH- CALF (we beg the Right Honourable Gen- tleman's pardon, KNATCHBULL), he regards the mere enumeration as enough to fill every honest Reformer with distrust. But. it is especially upon the great question of the Corn-laws that we are delighted to finfl the Noble Lord entertain sound and. liber .d. views. He does not peddle about protection, 'oecause he knows that while the Corn-laws dre ruinous to the manufacturers, they are - e ositively injurious to the farmers themselves. We recommend the monopolists to reflect (leeply upon the following passage from the speech of the Noble Lord : As one deeply ;.nterested in the continued prosperity of the landed interest, with which my personal interest is entirely bound up, I have uniformly held that it is most mismken and short-sighted policy for ourselves to adopt this selfish system of excluding the competition of foreign corn from our markets; I think the justice of this opinion has been proved by the result. I remem ber since this Act was passed, nearly half of the years which have gone by have been years of agricultural distress. I know in th e y ears 1833, 1835, and 1836, a large proportion of the time of the House of Commons, was occupied by the consideration of complaints. and just complaints, of agricultural distress. If I look on the other side, I also see the law which in many years wor l Aed most disadvantageously for the landed interest, Nvurking still more so for the manufacturing and com mercial interests. Can any man doubt the stagnation of trade of which you have cause to complain at this mo ment in this town—can any man doubt the difficulties by which all the great branches of industry are encum bered, arise very much from the consequence of bad har vests, aggravated by the existing Corn-law—a law which seems carefully and studiously devised for the purpose of filling all classes with vain expectations which are not :o be realised. In some instances the Corn-laws may have encouraged an ignorant agriculturist to offer a higher rent for land than he otherwise would have done, and thus the landlord has profited, but in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred the only gainer has been the gambling specu lator. Thus, with all the boasted wisdom of the CASTLEREAGHS, the ROBINSONS, the WILBER FORCES, the CHANDOSES, the RICHMONDS, and the KNATCHBULLS, we have been, from 1815 to the present day, injuring the agriculturists, and ruining the manufacturers of Great Bri tain, to enrich a set of gamblers, whose profits are always increasing as the public distress becomes more general. The hun ger and destitution of hundreds of thou sands are the stakes for which they play with the game always in their hands. But Lord HOWICK'S speech at Sunderland is suggestive of another question, second only in im portance to the repeal of the Corn-laws. It has for some time struck us as a matter to be de plored, that the bulk of the working-classes, in whom the Tory policy of the Whigs generated an almost universal distrust of public men, are without any leader capable of doing justice to their feelings, making known their wants, and enlisting their sympathies in any measures undertaken to ameliorate their condition. In Lord Hovvicx, we think we can dis cover many of the chief requisites for assum ing a position which would give him a more va luable political influence than that of any other man in either House of Parliament, DANIEL O'CONNELL, perhaps, only excepted. The Noble LTA occupies at this moment a distinguished po sition before the country. Having in a great mea sure withdrawn his support from the Whigs, when he found them truckling to the Tories — having deserted his friends rather than abandon one jot of those liberal principles hereditary in his noble family--he now stands before the country with an undamaged character chal lenging that confidence which the bulk of the people have withdrawn from most of the leaders of the Whig party. We do not know whether Lord Howicx may feel disposed to place himself at the head of the suffering peo ple, but we are persuaded that no other leader could be found better qualified to arrest the growth of that infidelity in the honesty of public men which is rapidly spreading among the in dustrious classes in England and Scotland. A tolerably long, and by no means a sprightly correspondence, respecting the operation of the commercial treaty with Turkey, ratified the 16th of August, 1838, has just been presented to the Houses of Parliament. It consists of the Reports of the Consuls and Vice-Consuls in Turkey, Syria, and Egypt, to the following three queries, addressed to them by Lord PALMER STON, through Lord PONSONBY, bearing date the the 16th of April, beinglB4o , about a year and men new his E S eight months after the treaty first came into r on retiring from ql — nee, that Minister is the late operation : I Foreign Seattary, Lord. PALMERSTON. 1. Whether the Treaty was carried completely \ into execution ; if not, in what respects not ? 2. Whether its operation was favourable to British trade ; if not, in what respects ? 3. How the Treaty operated on the trade of the subjects of Foreign Powers which had, and those which had not, concluded similar treaties; and what advantage or disadvantage the working of the treaty had produced for British subjects as compared with the subjects of any foreign Power ? These queries are very carefully framed, with a view to obtain the greatest amount of informa tion. The answers are dated from the respective Consulates and Vice-Consulates, as follows : Alexandria, May 22 ; Bucharest, June 3 ; Con stantinople, August 23; Smyrna, August 16; Adrianople, July 20; Dardanelles, July 26 ; Salonica, June 16; Erzeroum, July 20; and Broussa, June 2, all in 1840. Except in Egypt, where MEHEMET ALI decidedly refused to ad mit the treaty, and in the principalities of Wal lachia and Moldavia, where British traders were allowed greater advantages than the treaty gave them, the opposition made to the carrying the treaty into effect was far less than was generally expected. In , most districts it encountered no opposition whatever; and where resistance was offered, it was merely to protect a monopoly in certain products, in which the Porte had granted to certain parties a vested interest. Generally speaking, these reports represent the treaty as working well, and as placing British merchants on an equality with the most favoured traders— those of Russia only excepted. Russia's pecu liar and extensive advantages arises from the old tariff, which has not yet expired ; but when it has expired, the trade of Russia and that of other Powers will then be placed on an equal footing. Mr. CARTWRIGHT, the British Consul- General at Constantinople, concludes his report relative to the three questions of inquiry, as follows : With reference, therefore, to the concluding passage of the first inquiry, I am of opinion that the commercial convention has in its operation been favourable to British trade, though au immediate great visible effect may not be expected. A release from the various exactions to which trade was subjected. and the establishment of fixed moderate rates of duty on imports, must have tended to increase the circulation of British manufac tures ; and if the local authorities in the interior of the empire had not in all cases observed the stipulations with regard to internal duties on articles of Turkish pro duce, we may hope that the Porte will proceed to enforce the execution of them. It is required to be stated, 2d. How the treaty has operated on the trade of the sabjects of other Powers which have concluded similar treaties, and those which have not. It may on the same grounds be admitted, that the Con vention has been proportionately beneficial to the trade of those Powers which have made similar stipulations. The subjects of those Governments whia have not adopted them endeavour, by the means 'adore stated, to procure the advantages conferred by he Convention, at the same time preserving those wetich they possess in virtue of their own treaties. bi: o re activity, or the ab sence of venality in the Tu7,:itish fiscal officers, would check the practice. The Russian traders, no doubt, ex perience advantage fr_om the low rates of their tariff of duties for imports 7.nd exports, and they may be able to export at a 10 ,ver charge those articles of produce on which the internal duties are not high ; but those fa voured a: titles are few in number, and comparatively of little ".mount in the mass of export trade. he Russian Legation, it is expected, will soon resume she work of reforming their tariff ; and if it could be hoped that the stipulations of the commercial convention would also be adopted by Russia, we might trust that the few remaining Governments would not hesitate to conform to them. Those stipulations once generally ac knowledged, the execution of them would be facilitated, and the Porte might be more strongly required to en force it. It is required to be stated, 3. What advantage the working of the treaty has produced for British subjects, as compared with the sub jects of any foreign Power. The Convention is acknowledged to have been bene ficial to British trade, and it Would be a fair conclusion that British subjects have in an equal degree been bene fited by the working of it ; but, as it has been already stated, the trade between Great Britain and this port being chiefly in the hands of natives and other foreigners, the advantage can have been but proportionately enjoyed by British subjects. The native merchants, whether en joying foreign protection or Ottoman privileges, have facilities and advantages in their commercial arrange ments, not dependent on the effect of treaties, or the supposed unfair means resorted to by them, which will continue to insure to them the enjoyment of the greatest portion of the British trade in this port. Mr. BRANT, the British Consul at Smyrna, concludes his report in the following words : It is required to be stated, 2. Whether the operation of the treaty has been favourable to British trade ; and if not, in what respects it has been unfavourable? It having now been shown in what respects the ope ration of the treaty has been favourable to British trade, it may confidently and emphatically be asserted, that in no respect has it been unfavourable thereto. It is required to be stated, 3. How the treaty has operated on the trade of the subjects of other Powers which have concluded similar treaties; and its effects on the trade of the subject of those Powers which have not made similar treaties. With re.. .set to the import trade, the subjects of those Powers which concluded similar treaties have partici pated equally with British subjects in the benefits that have been derived from the existence of the Convention of the 16th of August, 1838; their trade having increased in the same ratio as our own ; and the treaties of those Powers which have not made similar treaties have been, and are, forced to obtain the protection of that treaty, by making use of the names of the subjects of those which have; for unless they had resorted to this subter fuge they could not have continued to carry on their import trade. Ia the export trade British subjects enjoy no greater advantages than the subjects of other Powers which have made similar treaties ; but the subjects of Russia (which is now the only Power having commercial rela tions with Turkey that has not concluded a similar treaty) pay from 1/ to 2 per cent. less duty on the exportation of produce than British subjects. But this difference in Favour of the former is not a consequence of the conven tion of 1838 ; it arises from this fortuitous circumstance, that the old Russian tariff not having yet expired is still in force. An erroneous impression has been entertained, that by ' the convention of 1838 British subjects have been placed on a less favourable footing with regard to the duties payable by them OTI goods exported than Russian subjects. The fallacy of this notion will be obvious when it is considered that the term of the former British tariff, calculated on an old and low valuation, having expired, while the Russian has not, an advantage must be en joyed by Russian subjects until the tariff expire and be reformed ; but it will then necessarily cease, as it is to be presumed that the rates of any new Russian tariff will be fixed on the same basis as those lately concluded between the Powers and the Porte. In Adrianople the treaty has operated unfa vourably, but Mr. KERR, the British Consul there, regards that place as " an exception to most other places in Turkey." In the other districts from whence reports have been made all that can be said is, that according to their general tenor the treaty works well so far as it has been tried. But a great deal, or rather, indeed, nearly everything, must depend upon the local authori ties appointed by the PORTE to superintend the working of the treaty. Much, too, will depend upon our having proper men of business to act as Consuls and Vice-Consuls in the different com mercial' ports of Turkey. • It is clear that the Turks themselves know little or nothing about commerce, and that they must receive from the agents of Foreign Powers the knowledge re quisite to enable them to carry into effect the commercial treaties of their own Government. This shows the great importance of having no one to represent British interests in Turkey, but persons of the greatest ability, and above all, men whose sound and liberal decisions upon all disputed points shall hereafter reflect credit upon the British name. We ought not to seek profit by the ignorance of the Turks. To do so would be indeed a short-sighted policy. Better estab lish that claim to impartial justice to which, as a mercantile people, we are more entitled than any other nation on the face of the earth. This • will serve us in good stead when more dreaded titles to respect are ridiculed, and when more pompous claims to national admiration are either despised or forgotten. We may observe, in conclusion, that sufficient time not having elapsed for a fair trial of the ope ration of the treaty, Lord PALMERSTON directed further reports to be addressed to him by the Consuls and Vice-Consuls, whenever any thing should occur calculated to throw the smallest light upon its working. In fact, so far as re spects the watching over the interests of British trade, no Minister ever exceeded Lord PALMER STON in vigilance. We have watched his career carefully and impartially, and we must say that if any member of the late Cabinet is exclusively entitled to the g ra tit u de of the:British empire, The whole of the French journals of Friday and Saturday have reached us. Nearly all the Liberal journals oppose the disarmament, but want of space prevents us from antering to day into an examination of the futility of their objections. The following extracts from them will be found interesting : The Pope. at five in the afternoon of the 30th ult., arrived at Civita Casteliana, where Cardinal Pianetti, the Legate of Viterbo, atd several Bishops, were in wait ing to receive him. His horses were taken from his carriage by the people, who drew his Holiness to the Episcopal Palace, where he alighted with loud accla mations. The banquet to M. Gallait, the painter, and to M. Debiefve, the sculptor, which was announced by the Brussels papers, took place on Wednesday. Several members of the Legislature, and all the artists of note in the capital, were present. Speeches were made, and some verses in honour of the two guests were read. The Toul9nnais has the following from Algiers : " The inclosed wall at Coleah is being carried on with great perseverence. The battalion of Foot Chasseurs has joined the other four battalions, who have been at work upon it for the last month eight hours a day. Dis eases have within the last few days become numerous, and the hospital at Coleah has already been obliged to relieve itself by sending upwards of 400 of its sick to Algiers. Abd-el-Kader has sent numerous emissaries into the east of Regency, to endeavour to excite the tribes to rise. Fifteen mounted Spahis, sent from Bona, on the 16th ult., to make a reconnaissance as far as Cap de Fer, were driven back into the town, with a loss of three men and several horses. " The Belgian Minister of the Interior," says the Com merce, " lately applied to the persons engaged in the cotton-manufacture and trade of Ghent, for their opinion as to the effect of the admission of cotton goods into Belgium and France, reciprocally at a duty of 5 to 10 per cent. They replied that, however formidable the com petition of French goods might be, they would accept with gratitude any measure which should tend to pro mote the shipping interest, and augment exchanges with their neighbours of the south." Dr. Detmold of Hanover, according to . the Hamburgh papers, has been condemned to be imprisoned for six weeks, or to pay a fine of 300 crowns, as the author of a Memorial to the Germanic Diet against the New Con stitution. A Royal Decree has been issued at Copenhagen, stat ing that the Danish Government will not henceforth send out Ambassadors but on extraordinary occasions, but will be represented at the Courts .of France, Eng land, Russia, Austria, Prussia, and Sweden, and at the Germanic Diet, by Ministers Plenipotentiary only. At the capitals of the other Powers, it will have resident Ministers, Charges d'Affaires, or Consuls-General. • The new Tariff Bill presented to the American Con gress has given rise to the following observations in the Federal of Geneva :—" This measure is of great interest to Switzerland, which on an average exports to the United States manufactured silks, chiefly from the can tons of Zurich and Bale, to the value of 12,000,000 f. annually. These silks are embarked at Havre, and are received in America as French produce. The news that this merchandise was to be charged with a duty of 20 per cent., and that, contrary to all usage, this new law was to be carried into execution almost as soon as it was passed, has produced a disastrous effect on our trade. Fortunately the accounts are not correct ; for, in the first place, it could not be brought into force, as stated, on the Ist instant, because it has not yet received the sanction of the Senate ; and, in the next place, because it is probable that the Senate will not give its assent without reducing the proposed duty from 20 to 12 per cent. It is nevertheless true that our commerce and in dustry is thus threatened with the loss of one of its greatest markets, and it is a new burthern on our trade and manufactures without relief to any other." A letter from Dresden, of the 4th instant, states that on the preceding evening, during the performance of a drama at the national theatre, a young romance writer, named Gerstenhaye, in a fit of insanitf destroyed him self in the lower boxes by discharging the contents of a pistol at his breast. He died almost immediately. The performance was suspended for about twenty minutes, when some persons in the pit called out for the play to proceed, and the actors went on as if nothing extraor dinary had occurred. A letter from Zurich says:—" Six travellers, M. Du chatelet, a young geologist of Nantes ; Professor Agas siz, of Zurich ; Professor Forbes, of Edinburgh ; Mr. Heath, of Cambridge ; Etienne Dessoer, of Liege ; and Prury•Shod, of Neuembourg, ascended on the 27th ult. to the highest point of Jungfrau-Horn, a glacier of the Canton of Berne. They were obliged to cut steps with their hatchets in the ice. They had six guides with them, one of whom was a shepherd, eighty years of age, who had already ascended the mountain three times. On arriving at the summit, the travellers took some meteo rological observations, and planted a flag, on which are inscribed their names and the date of their ascent," The Toulonnais publishes the following private letter from Algiers of Sept. 1 : The whole tribe of the Medjehars has declared for the Bey, Iladji Mustapha Oulid-Osman Bey. Other tribes having manifested the intention of submitting to France at the same time, Abd-el-Kader, alarmed at these desertions, has addressed a proclamation to the Musselman population, to warn them to be on their guard against the snares laid for them by the new Bey, who is supported only by a few hundred infidels, and who will soon experience the same fate as all the other Beys appointed by the General Bugeaud, being informed of this circumstance, and desiring to give some marked support to the new Bey, has given orders to the 23d regiment of the line (which was to return to France), to embark on the 3d of this month on board the Marengo and Triton, to proceed to Mostaganem. The first battalion of the Zowares, commanded by Captain de Flo, will shortly set out for the same direction. The line of block-houses between Coleah and the sea is complete. The ditch is dug to th e l eng th o f 2,500 yards. An excursion to Churchell is organised ;it will take place on Sunday the 6th of September. A steamer will convey the passengers, who will probably be numerous. Nourri Effendi, late Ottoman Ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries, has arrived at Marseilles, on his way to Constantinople. The steam-vessels Veloce, Cameleon, Papin, and Vautour, took their departure from Toulon on Thurs day, for Port Vendres. On the preceding day the Dili gente advice-boat sailed from the same port for the Levant. " Before leaving Brussels," says the Moniteur Parisien, " for Paris, to negotiate the Treaty of Commerce, the Belgian Commissioners applied to three principal book sellers of Belgium for information on this important branch of commerce. in order to be prepared to treat with the French Government upon it, should the question of the reprinting of the works of each country be brought into discussion. The chief of one of the three companies in possession of re-impressions is said to have been dele gated to come to Paris, and assist the Commissioners on this point." The Glom& dale Due Sicilie, 28th ult., contains the Ministerial appointments :—Don Joseph Lanza Prince of Travia, Counsellor of State, to be Minister Of Public Worship, with a salary of 6,000 ducats ; Don Fernand() Ferry, President of the Court of Accounts, to be Minis ter of Finances, with the same salary. The salary of the Duke de Lorenzano, Minister of State without a portfolio, is raised from 2,400 to 3,600 ducats. Several other Ministers of State without portfolios are named and are to have votes in the Council. On-the 7th inst., the members of the Scientific Con gress of France paid a visit from Lyons to Vienne, in the Sirius, and another steamer. Between 600 and 700 persons embarked, and the band of the 29th regiment enlivened the party on the voyage. On arriving at Vienne, after a run of only an hour and twenty minutes, the Members of the Congress were received, under a triumphal arch, by the Sub-Prefect and other authorities, and conducted to a fine avenue of trees, on the banks of the Rhone, where a splendid breakfast had been pre pared for them. After breakfast they visited all the curiosities and manufacturing establishments of Vienne, and at two o'clock sat down to dinner with the au thorities and principal inhabitants of Vienne, in the Champs de Mars. At four o'clock the Members of the Congress embarked, on their return to Lyons, under a parting salute of cannon. We learn from Blois that, a few days since, during a violent storm of hail, which ravaged the country for some extent, the phenomenon was observed that the hail, which spread over an extent of twenty kilometres, or twelve miles, came from only one small cloud, the.rest of the sky being perfectly clear. The Quotidienne gives the following :—" A person named Girard and his wife established a cafe at Lyons some years ago, on the Place Bellecour. One of the customers having noticed a great resemblance to Marie Antoinnette in the countenance of Madame Girard, men tioned it to others, and at length Madame Girard, who is a very handsome woman, was induced to adopt the costume of Marie Antoinette, and her cafe was con stantly crowded. This resemblance to the unfortunate Queen has been ruinous to Madame Girard, for the po lice, alarmed at the crowds who frequented the cafe, have driven M. and Madame Girard from their esta blishment. " A duel with pistols," says the Independant of Brus sels, " took place on Sunday last, near Menin and Ahluin, between two officers, the Baron de Noe, Captain of Hussars, and son of the Count de Noe, Peer of France, and a Sub - Lieutenant of Hussars, in consequence of a quarrel at the Camp of Compiegne. The Baron had his arm dreadfully fractured, and was removed to Ahluin for medical aid. His adversary, who was slightly wounded in the aide, immediately returned to Compiegne."

SUM , :ARY OF rcIEIF D Opinion, " Who runs may read." PESECtIf. The Coninierce has a letter from Vienna, in which we ' kind the following important announcement :—" The general disarming of Europe has been resolved upon. The Cabinet of Vienna has recently addressed a note to that of the Tuileries, to invite it to reduce its military force conjointly with the other great Powers. The Ca binet of the Tuileries replied that, so soon as the other Powers should be ready to disarm, it would do so too, and would begin by a reduction of 40,000 men. The Austrian Cabinet, consequently, immediately ordered a reduction of its army ; but, as the autumnal reviews are to take place almost immediately, the measure is not to be carried into execution until the 15th of October. It is thought that the Landwehr will be disbanded, which will be a reduction of 80,000 men." The Courier says—" M. Guizot has promised to dis arm ; shall we have the grief of witnessing the perform ance of his promise ?" This Journal is for an increase of the armaments, as if France, reeling under a load of taxation, was only anxious to add to its weight. The National is as much opposed to the reduction of the French navy, as the Courrier Francais is to any di minution of the land forces. "We know very well," observes this organ of republicanism, " that England sees with displeasure the augmentation of our naval force, and that there is nothing which our Government would not do to be agreeable to her ; but to reduce the navy at such a moms-nt, when there is danger on every hand, and precaution was never more necessary, is a project so monstrous that, notwithstanding all the re ports in circulation, we can with difficulty believe in its existence." The Journal des Debats urges the Finance Minister to lose no time in negotiating the loan, on the ground that if it be not wanted to meet the demands upon the Trea sury, still it is required to stimulate the prosecution of public works. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Chronicle contains an article on the conduct of some Rochdale Magistrates, who last week imposed penalties on certain individuals for not attend ing their parish Church, or any other place of religious worship on Sundays, and committed them for non-pay ment of the penalties. The following are the Chronicle's strictures on this subject, which are more immediately called forth by a letter from Mr. George Ashworth, one of the Magistrates in question, in which he hints that the men were punished apparently for ne glecting Church, but, in reality for other offences:— " We know not of a worse vice in Magistrates than that of punishing for what is not judicially before them. It is, however, a vice which the unpaid are supposed to be peculiarly open to. Let a fellow be suspected et poach ing, or interfering in any way with the pleasures of the squire, and, though he escape detecti_ai for his suspected offence, some convenient enactment will be laid hold of to get him out of the way. Indeed, in the country, the belief is prevalent that a man is never really punished for that of which he is convicted. But then the Magis- trates who do these things keep their own counsel. Ashworth and his brother Magistrates had been merely bigots,we could not have had a word to say against them."— To punish men for keeping away from Church on the Sabbath, is an act of tyranny worthy only of the darker ages. It is making them religious by Act of Parliament —the surest way to encourage hypocrisy. A man may be a sincere Christian, and yet never enter a Church door ; as he may be a gross infidel, and yet punctually attend Divine Service twice every nday. But if men are to be punished nominally only or neglecting Church, but in reality for other faults, what becomes of the just, straightforward character of Law? Enforced under such circumstances—wrested to such purposes—it is a mere mockery. To profess to punish for one offence, while the punishment is inflicted for another not avowed, is to con foUnd all the distinctions between right and wrong, and to make the Law itself an arbitrary despotism. The Times speaks of Sir R. Peel's Cabinet in the fol lowing terms :—" There was scarcely an individual who aspired to share his power who had not already been as sociated in his councils and in his confidence. He had not to look abroad for the materials of his Government. He had not to strengthen himself by offering allurements to out-lying forces, that were to be purchased, but re luctantly, and at an extravagant cost. He had to pay to no man the price of a conscience. Those whom he was to commission knew already their own recognised posi tions and relative values in the cause ; and the personal ambition of each had been trained, by years of cordial and united service, to regulate itself by the exigencies of the common welfare, and confine expectation to existing means and reasonable proportions."— The idea of Sir R. Peel's colleagues having been " trained by years of cordial and united service," is one that would only have suggested itself to the Times, which, in gene ral, is not remarkable for speaking as if it were on oath. " Years of cordial and united service," indeed! why, it is not five years ago since Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham both professed their utter want of confidence in Sir R. Peel ! So far from being " trained" to his ser vice, they would have nothing to do with him on any terms ! Then, as regards the Duke of Buckingham. Has he not been purchased at an extravagant cost?" Pos- sibly not, seeing that the purchase-money has bee , nothing more than Sir R. Peel's own conscience, whic we are not disposed to assess at a very high valuation. By accepting the Duke for a colleague, the Right Hon. Baronet has told us in so many plain terms that—no matter what hints and promises he may have thrown out to the contrary—we shall have no Corn-law Reform worth a straw. The Herald thus refers to Lord Eliot's appointment as Irish Secretary 7—" A few words as to an objection from a very different quarter to a minor but most im portant appointment in the Peel Administration—that of Lord Eliot as the Irish Secretary. Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues suffered severely in 1835 during their short tenure of office, from the indiscretion of some of their Irish supporters. We trust that the experience of the past has not been thrown away on these well-meaning and highly-principled, but not at all times judiciously acting men. It is the duty of every individual to make some sacrifices for the sake of party. Political combina tions can no more exist without such sacrifices than can society without an abnegation of many natural rights ; what is now required from the individuals to whom we refer is only some slight restraint on their personal feel ings and conduct. This their brother Conservatives in Britain and in Ireland have a right to and do demand." — It is plain from this, and other indicaions in the Tory Journals, that it is the intention of Ministers to fling the Orangemen overboard. As we said before, we think this faction most unjustly dealt with, for it has always been the firm supporter of Tory politics in Ireland ; and as it is notoriously impetuous and high spirited, we think it far from unlikely that it will ere long make another dis covery respecting Sir Robert Peel, similar to that which it made when he carried Catholic Emancipation. We quote the following from the Post:—"lt is satisfac- tory to find that the country generally appears to be well pleased with the new Government which has been formed, and tranquilly awaits those measures which the necessi . ties of the State demand, and which the abilities of the present Ministers are deemed competent to supply. If any one had believed the Whig-Radical writers and declaimers a few months ago, or even a few weeks ago, they must have expected a tremendous explosion of po pular discontent as soon as it was known that the lead ing Conservatives had actually become the Government of the country. But no one, we suppose, with even the slenderest pretensions to the possession of common sense, did believe them, and if they did they have now seen how much they were misled."— It is not the fact that the " country generally is well pleased with the new Government." Toryism may be so; but Toryism is not the nation. The truth is, there is a halt just now in the great action of the country—a sort of temporary lull, like that which so often precedes the tempest. The people are biding their time, and hoping, even against hope, that the change of Ministry may be to their advantage. When they find out their error—when they learn that bad as the Whigs were, the Tories are a thousand times worse, a storm will arise, which will not be allayed till Toryism is torn up by the root, never again to put forth bud or blossom. The Advertiser remarks as follows :—" We have rea son to believe that it is the intention of Sir Robert Peel to propose, immediately on the re-assembling of Parlia ment, to raise a loan of 4,000,000/. or 5,000,000/., for the purpose of meeting the temporary exigencies of the public service, and that on his proposal obtaining the sanction of the House, and the Poor-law Bill being re newed for another year, he will prorogue the Parliament until the end of January, or beginning of February. The new Premier calculates, we understand, that his proposal to raise his intended loan will be acceded to by the House as a matter of course. He does net anticipate that a single word of opposition will be uttered, nor a syllable of explanation be demandvd as to the line of policy which he means to adopt." The Dublin Evening Pos t, in noticing Lord Fortescue's departure, pays the following tribute to the Whig Admi nistration in Ireland :—" Lord Fortesue has taken his departure from our shores. and he has left the country t in a state of tranquillity unexampled in our annals. In enunciating this fact, which none can question, we pro claim at once the impartiality of Whig policy and the complete success by which it has been rewarded." The Devonport Td graph speaks very distrustfully of the new Ministry, as will be seen by the following pas sage :—" It would, indeed, be gratifying to be enabled to say that the majority of the people were inclined to repose a higher degree of confidence in the New Ad ministration than in that which it has been successful in supplanting, but the melancholy fact is obviously the contrary. So far as an opinion can be formed of the policy of the present Cabinet, from the political history of its leading characters, there is nothing to justify an anticipation that the country.will be more prosperous and happy under its control, than had no change been effected." The following. is from an article in the Leeds Tinies, on the subject of the Corn-laws :—" The assertion that wages rise with the price of corn is opposed to experi ence, and can be proved to be an absurdity. It is an as sertion which many of those who use know to be false, but it is an assertion—a falsehood—whiil the experience of every day tends to divest of its venom and power. It will be found of little service to the landlords at the next general election." The Cambrian thus alludes to Sir James Graham's apostacy :—" Sir James Graham all his life advocated an alteration in the Corn-laws, and proposed ultra-libe ral sentiments. He was a Member of Earl Grey's Ca binet, and in a moment of pique deserted w ith Lord Stanley to the Tories, and became an apostate. He now makes use of his old intimacy with the Whigs to say the most violent and ungentlemanly things of his former col t leagues on all occasions. He wrote pamphlets against the Corn-laws as an earnest of his sincerity. Suddenly he goes right round, like that other " representative of his breeches pocket," Lard Ashburton, and passes his nights ill the Ilbilse cottittimis in recanting his juve nile opinions of fifty-five ! Dirty work this, one would think !" The Liverpool Chronicle states, in some remarks on Sir R.. Peel :—"He is but the tool and utensil in the hands of these Noble Lords and Dukes to whom he is represented as being so very 'condescending.' The Indian takes a log of wood, cuts it into some sort of hideous shape, with nose, eyes and mouth carved upon it and then calling it his god, falls down and worships it. But presently, if his affairs do not prosper in the world or if for any reason whatever he quarrels with his god ship, he goes axe in hand, and hews him up into fire wood and faggots without ceremony. Now Sir Robert Peel, with all his blushing honours thick upon him,' is only like the Indian's god after all." The Scottish Pilot is of opinion, that nothing is to be expected from Sir R. Peel's Cabinet, observing—"'What ever the new Premier intends to do, the nation sees that his Ministry is destitute of character and principle, and that any specious measure of relief he may originate will only be intended to secure the oppressive monopolies on a firmer basis than ever." IVIONET-TRADE-COMMERCE. The reportof a manufacturing house having suspended in Manchaster, for 100,0001., is not correct. No failure of that kind is known on 'Change. At Padiham, cotton hand•lopm weaving is deplorable. The distressed weavers receive only one shilling for a cut thirty yards long, and four cuts alone can be accom plished per week. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A Russian squadron, under Admiral Lazarieff, were seen on the 16th ult., cruising off Dagoe, in the Baltic, for the purpose, it is said, of exercising the sailors in the usual manoeuvres. Colonel Churchill has been presented, by the chief of the Damascas Jews, with a magnificent Arab charger, valued at 100 guineas, in return for the deep interest evinced by the Colonel for the welfare of the Jewish people of that city. AGRICUILTUMS:L. We regret to learn from the general accounts of the crops in Ireland, that more injury has been suffered than previous representations, during the period of fine wea ther, had led people to suppose. SPORTING. The Herefordshire bowmen pitched their targets last Thursday at Croft Castle, the seat of Mrs. Davies. Miss Clifford won the first prize, and Aliss Newton the second. The first gentleman's prize was gained by the Rev. John Rorke, and the second by the Rev. F. Mereweather. COURT-FASHIONABLE. On Friday the Queen and Prince Albert drove through the gardens of Hampton Court Palace. The Duke of Wellington had a dinner party on Satur day at Apsley House. The Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings are enter taining a select circle at Donnington Park. The Marquis of Westminster left Grosvenor House on Saturday for Doncaster. Viscount Morpeth left town on Wednesday for Trent ham Hall, Staffordshire. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland left Wytinsta!y on 'Wednesday last, for Powis Castle. Sir R. Peel had a select party to dinner on Friday. MISCELLANEOUS. There is an increase of 11,565 Methodists in Great Britain and Ireland this year ! Total number, 440,294. The Times states that "a mode of producing sleep without narcotics has been for some years communicated to any one desirous of obtaining acquaintance with it, by a gentleman of the name of Gardener."—The surest way of producing sleep we know of, is to hear one of Sir James Graham's speeches, or read one of his pam phlets, on the Corn-laws ! The dinner to Lord Morpeth, at Dublin, takes place to-morrow, and is expected to be very splendid. The Marquis of Clanricarde will preside at the banquet. A young man while bathing yesterday near Battersea bridge was carried beyond his depth by the reflux of the water, caused by a steamer, and drowned. __ On Wednesday. at Ballinahow, County Tipperary, in a dispute between relations about the possession of land, a man named James Hayes, an honest and unoffend ing neighbour, interfering to make peace, was unfor tunately killed by a blow of a loaded whip from one of the parties. M. Von Rothschild has been at Brussels since the 7th. He has in hand a project for a railroad from Valen ciennes to Paris. It appears from a letter addressed by Mr. Ashworth, a Rochdale Magistrate, to a Manchester paper, that the Magistrates of that district have been in. the habit of convicting persons on the plea that they did not attend Church, but in reality, because . their conduct out of Church was grossly offensive and disorderly. If this be true there was no occasion to fall back upon an ob solete law. Lord Sussex Lennox has just returned from Malta, whither he went in all haste on an affair of honour. The parties met, exchanged shots, hut did not exchange a syllable, and then each went off his separate way. A torch-light Chartist meeting was, on Thursday even ing, held in the town of Bradford, Wiltshire. The Cap tain of the police had a large number in the neighbour hood, and which would have been available at a minute's notice, in ease there were any indications of disturbance. The troop in the barracks at Trowbridge was also easy of command, but the meeting passed off peaceably. At the fire which took place in Piccadilly last night, one of the men belonging to the County Fire-office was killed, and another so severely injured, that no hopes are entertained of his recovery. POLITICAL. We understand that Sir Robert Gordon is appointed her Majesty's Ambassador at Vienna. It is stated that Lord Bnrghersh will probably go to Naples as the representative of her Majesty. The Post says that T. Greene, Esq., M.P. for Lan caster, will be proposed to the House as Chairman of Ways and Means. RUMOURS OF THE DAT. All the worn-out Tory judges in Scotland and Ireland are about to retire. Those looking forward to the new appointments have been in a dreadful state of anxiety for the last twelve months, and now feel the exuberant joy of men saved from imminent destruction. EX PRESS FROM PARIS FRANCE. The Moniteur of Sunday, publishes an account of the proceedings between France and Spain re lative to the island Del Rey, and from which it appears that the notice to evacuate the military hospital was given by the Governor of Mahon to the French Vice-Consul in that residence without the knowledge of the Spanish Cabinet. M. Gonzales had even offered to grant the French Government a new lease of this island, hut the latter had already decided that the re newal of the lease should not be demanded, and the hospital be abandoned at its expiration. Serious riots, though not of a political cha racter, took place at Macon on the 9th inst. The troops were obliged to make use of their arms, and several lives were lost. The Gazette de Tribunaux announces, that the police of Paris had within the two last days seized a quantity of arms and political pamphlets. According to a letter from St. Jean Pied de Port, of the Gth instant, the inhabitants of the Spanish village of Orbayecto had made an incur sion on the adjoinino. French territory, and 'car ried off all the cattle they could meet. The Toulonnais of the 9th states that the Tri dent and Hercules, ships of the line, had gone to Tunis, and that the departure of the division for Brest had been countermanded by a telegraphic despatch from Paris. Some rioting took place in Paris on Satur day evening. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the sth inst. promul gates the laws of the Cortes, declaring all the property of the secular clergy to be annexed to the national domain. The same journal adver tises two loans, the one of 45,000,000 of reals, to be mortgaged on the proceeds of the salt monopoly, and the other of 17,000,000 on those of the stamp duties. GERMANY, Prince Paul Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambas sador in London, arrived at Vienna on the 2d instant. S WITZERLAND. The Helvetic Diet adjourned on the Bth to the 25th of October.
