We have copied in our Summary a few of the remarks which the Herald has judiciously made on the case of Mr. CAVE, a bankrupt, and need not repeat them here; but we shall make a furthe r extract as strengthening some observa tions of our own on Tuesday. Besides adverting to the respectability of CAVE, our Contemporary said of the landlords, — The country squires, whose forefathers were proud to be at the head (if the surrounding yeomen, now vie with the landed aristo crac y, and our merchants outrival the peer in " west-end"'expenditure. . . . We almost daily read o f old- established private bankers stopping payment, and en their stoppages it is discovered that for years they have been insolvent, and trading on their credit ; we hear of loans to the extent of nearly a million sterling being taken up by some noble men on the security of their hereditary posses- , sions from corporations, and of the bills and borrow ing at an tisane° defying all recompense of others of the aristocracy, apparently the proprietors of parishes and almost counties ; we have actually seen a Peer, the creation of whose title is almost lost in antiquity, in extreme old age figure in the Gazette as a bankrupt; and we know that men whose incomes ought to be fixed and fully adequate to their support —including clergymen of reputation—enter into the wildest spe culations, wholly ignorant of business, and become partners with profligate schemers and needy adven turers, for the purpose of deriving profits, the large ness of which is wholly incompatible with safety, pru dence, or honesty.. City capitalists have of late years be come acquainted with the paper, as it is technically termed,, of persons whose names ought to be known in that quarter of London by report only; men of family, rank, and title, have . lent theirs:lames to bubble com panies and schemes, for the sake of more easily and pro fitably: dealing in shares and scrip, and for the fees of directors' attendances; and there is no speculation, how ever abiurd, that has not found support from those who wish to make unreasonable profit of their remaining capital, or to support those appearances which their in comes have long ceased to warrant. Poverty is a disease almost universally prevalent even in the higher classes ; yet families immersed in society continue to waste their substance in its follies and ex cesses ; and men of the world will sacrifice their honesty sooner than lay down their carriages, or cease to give extravagant entertainments, and, rather than relinquish their conventional importance, will resort to borrowing. until they are compelled to expatriate themselves, and uselessly or wickedly fret the remainder of their lives in second-rate continental capitals, or gambling or disre • putable watering-places. Land, or, what amounts to nearly the same thing as possession, power over land, is rapidly passing into the hands of millionaires, and the influence formerly possessed by an hereditary aristo cracy, full of kindly feelings to the poor, is silently as signed to the mere owners of money. This is not an inaccurate picture of the legal extortioners. They cannot keep together what they exact. A curse follows their plunder, and in starving the people they have impove rished themselves. Like other dishonest per sons they squander more than they steal ; and their exertions only encourage extravagance, and add to their excesses and their difficulties. Turning from the Herald to the Post, we find the great champion of the Church yes terday sanctioning this statement: — Men talk of the exaggerated wealth of the Church in England. Their allegations are false, and we fear it must be added, wilfully and knowingly false ; but were they to the letter true, would tens of millions annually be too dear a price to pay for such a blessing as this is ? At the investigation into Mr. CAVE'S affqirs, however, Sir C. WILLIAMS said—" I obs4rve that 121,0001. was advanced by a very mo derate number of the clergy," to which the bankrupt assented. That a very moderate number of the clergy have a sum of 121,0001. to embark in mining speculations, in order to get ten per cent. on the advance, shows anything but poverty in the priesthood, whatever it:may indi cate in the Church, a term which is held to in clude the shorn flock as well as the shearing paste's. Not only are the priesthood rich, but they are animated with the spirit of cupidity. They are led away, as the Herald says, bli p the unlawful desire of lucre to forget the sacred duties of their holy calling. They set about getting money cunningly, like usurers. One them whispered to another, " CAVE is a clev f e llow, he will give you ten Per cent. for yo u money ;" and to get the ten per cent. they con fided in CAVE, and lost 121,000/.. The clergy and the landlords are the guides of society, they set the fashion in morals as well as in manners and dress; and when we find cupidity and extrava gance stimulating them and involving them in difficulties, how can we be surprised that men of a lower rank, follow their example ? "It is aw ful to think," said Sir C-WILLIAMS, " how so many persons of education, rank, and station in society, could have been deluded, by their own infatuation alone, of the enormous sum of 365,0001." Mr. CAVE'S own words, as they were given in The Sun yesterday, are an illustration of the conduct of the respectable classes : "I was," said Mr. Cave, "for many years in the 'War-office at a good salary ; and about the year 1829 or 1830 I first commenced my view of entering into mining speculations, and had proper:y to begin with to the amount of 12,000/. or 13,000/., partly in cash and partly in an estate mortgaged to a Mr. M'Donnel for about 20,0001. I never put out any flaming pro spectuses nor seductive advertisements to induce any party , whatsoever to join me, nor did I ever ask any one to join me who actually did so. On the contrary, all those who did join me were actually ' volunteers.' I col lected 360,000/. in subscriptions in the course of five or six years, and many persons, from whom I now hold letters in my hand, pressed me to allow them to subscribe to the speculation." He was not contented, it appears, with his good salary, but be rushed into mining specula tions, as other gentlemen, with good salaries, rush into stock speculations ; and, less unfortu nate than others, he appears only in the Bank rupts' Court, while they will be summoned to the bar of the Old Bailey. These are specimens of the respectable classes, to whom alone the Legislature will confide legislative or electoral power, and for whose especial advantage all the institutions of society are framed. When such is their private character, and such are their pursuits, can it b. 2 surprising that legislation partakes largely of their rapacity and disho nesty ? The stream cannot r ise higher than its source, and neither can the LegisSture be snore pure than the noblemen, squires, clergyznen, and middle classes who compose it, or are instru mental in forming it. . Liverpool has long been a Tory town, and re turns two Tory Members to Parliament. It is both fanatical and corrupt. In it Mr. M'NEILE and Tory gold have paramount influence. We see less cause, therefbre, for surprise than regret at the municipal elections at Liverpool having turned out favourable to the Tories, though it makes a glorious boast for the Ministerial Jour nals. In other municipalities the Tories lose. When the Whigs were in power, the Tory Jour nals continually pointed out the influence of the Government in the municipal elections, as suffi cient to explain the defeat of the Tories. Now that they have got that influence on their side, they say nothing of it ; but it has not sufficed to save them in several places from being disgrace 1-nlly routed. We cannot allow them to forget that all the influence of the Government, which is considerable, in all the towns' of the empire, though it has served them at Liverpool, where the dependents of Government are numerous, has not served them at Canterbury, Nottingham, Kendal, Manchester, Birmingham, &c., &c. In the same page, and almost the same co lumn, in which the Tory triumph at the muni cipal elections was most loudly boasted of; there. was "a deal of sorrow and indignation that Mr. O'CONNELL was elected Lord Mayor of Dublin. It was described as nearly the grossest insult that could be offered to the Protestants of Ire land, and indeed to the Protestants of the em pire, hicluding the women of England. Dublin at present returns two Orangemen to Parlia 'lament, and it cannot be said that Mr. O'Cox- NELL'S election confirms the opinion practically expressed by the election of Messrs. WEST and (jaw; x. For our parts, we are quite ready to admit that Liberal opinions are not so preva lent as we would wish them ; at the same time, they are rapidly spreading, and penetrating very deeply. Though the Tories may " regulate their sentiments" by an implicit faith in some oracu lar Standard, the Liberals, from their opinions being new, necessarily form them " by inquiry and conviction ;" and everywhere earnest opi nions, hostile to the Tory policy, are the result of inquiry. Knowing such opinions to be just, we have not the smallest doubt that they will ultimately triumph, whatever may be the fate of the Liverpool municipal election. It appears a considerable quantity of gun powder is kept in the Tower, and we learn front the late disaster, that sufficient precautions sare n ot taken in that fo rtress to guard against acci dent. Ladies, we 'are told, assisted with their own fair hands to roll the barrels of powder into the moat. If the powder were to explode, it would cause immense mischief. The neighbourhood round the Tower is densely peopled, and the Thames abreast of it, and immediately above and below it, is generally densely crowded with ship ping. The Tower itself, in fact, is a crowded town, a large part of which is closely packed with habitations. Ships, people, houses, would be destroyed to a great extent were the Tower magazine to explode. Besides the objections mentioned by a Morning Contemporary to having the national records placed over a magazine, we may say that it is very unusual to have a mass of combustibles col- TEE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEIMIVIV fishery on the eastern Scheldt. Belgium, in return for some equivalent concessions on the part of Holland, rc linquishes all claim to it. We find the following proclamation of the King of Prussia in the German Journal of Frankfort ; it is dated Nolbnietz, Sept. 6:--" We Frederick William, &c., have appropriated to the endowment of , a Protestant bishopric to be established at Jerusalem, with the concurrence of England, the sum of 15,000/. sterling, the -interest of which, viz., 6001. sterling, forming the half of the salary of the Bishop, we will pay beforehand. This sum is to be re mitted to the Archhishopsof Canterbury and York, and the Bishop of London, as trustees of this episcopal see. If at a subsequent period this capital can be invested in the . purchase of lands in Palestine, but with our consent, the capital shall be paid up to the before-mentioned trustees. This sum of 15,0001., . shall be mentioned in the act of endowment, but if the lands purchased in Palestine yield' a revenue equal to an interest of more than four per cent., the surplus shall be given, not to the Bishop; but to be devoted to the funds of the bishopric. " FREDERICK WILLIAM." Two infamous outrages were committed almost simul taneously a few evenings ago. About ten o'clock a young couturiere, returning from her work along the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, was stopped by two men, one of whom drew from his pocket a small bottle, uncorked it, and threw the contents in her face, which in stantly became dreadfully burnt. One of her eyes was totally destroyed, and the other so much injured that there is little hopes of its sight being saved. In other respects the poor girl is frightfully disfigured. The men attempted to run away, but one of them, named Lebran, was followed by some persons who were passing, and saw the cruel act, and secured. On being brought to the object of his vengeance, she recognised him to be the nephew of a person with whom she had had an intimate connection, and who had acted from jealousy or spite. Lebran is detained in custody, and a warrant has been issued against his uncle. The other act was perpetrated in the Rue St. Denis, about the same hour on the same evening, when, as a tradesman was returning home, he suddenly received a blow on the back, as if by a stone or some missile, and soon found that a bottle of s ome corrosive liquid had struck him, and burnt through his clothes to his skin. Ia this instance, too, the assaiii ant was caught and secured. He proved to be another tradesmen in the same line, named Schneider, who hoped by these means to disable his rival. On Saturday evening, two men made their way, by means of false keys, into an apartment in the rue Monsieur-le-Prince, believing its inhabitants to be ab sent ; but they had hardly entered when the door was shut to with a loud noise, and they found the occupant, a gentleman of courage, standing by them with a sabre. He kept the rogues at bay till he called in the neigh bours, with whoso assistance he seized and bound his unwelcome visitors. They were soon after safely lodged at the Prefecture, with the tools by means of which they hoped to have done a profitable job. The body of the man who threw himself off the Co lumn of the Place de la Bastille, a few days ago, has been recognised at the Morgue by his friends ; but his name has not been allowed to transpire. He was a Frenchman of respectable family. The Moniteur Parisien states that at a sale on Satur day, at the Hotel des Commissaires-Priseurs of the for feited pledges, from the Mont-de-Piete ; he saw a five franc piece put up and sold for 4f. 70c. ! This pledge had been in pawn 15 months, and the Moniteur naturally asks, who could have been the madman who deposited a five-franc piece to receive only three fifths of its value ? The German journals state that an engineer of Vienna, named Klein, has invented a method of preventing sparks and ashes from the fires of the locomotive engines of railroads from falling on the passengers in open wag gons, without, however, diminishing the current of air necessary for the fire. The 'experiments made on the Vienna railway have been so satisfactory that it has been resolved to adopt his apparatus, and to burn wood instead of coke. M. Klein has taken out a patent for his discovery. A letter from Strasburgh, in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that the Treaty of Commerce between France and Holland is beginning to bear fruits. A great deal of cotton had arrived by the Upper Rhine, and within a few weeks about 3,000 bales have been imported into Stras burgh. The Armoricain of Brest says that the Belle Pottle fri gate is shortly expected in that port. A letter from Mostaganem of the 16th ult., in the Constitutionnel, states that while the expeditionary column was in the flat country, the town of Mascara was twice attacked by Ben Hameidi, the Lieutenant of Abd-el- Kader, who tried to take it by assault, but was repulsed with loss. The regular battalions of the Emir's troops suffered the most in these attacks. General O'Donnell has arrived in Paris. The Gironde states that the three millions of francs, said to be sent by Queen Christina to the insurgents in Spain, never reached its destination. "The money was stolen," says this Journal, " and the incident occurring during a serious political conflict, is characteristic of our . epoch." The Temps kas a report to the same effect. Letters from St. Sebastian of the 26th October, say that the persons taken at sea by the National Guard of the city, while they were endeavouring to reach the coast of France, were eighteen in number. Among them are the Marquis of Santa Cruz, the Count de Corres, the Marquis of Valmediano, the Marchioness of Santa Cruz, late governess to Queen Isabella, the Countess de Corres, and Don Manuel Larrondobuno, member of the foral deputation of Guipuscoa. They are' all to be tried by the Military Commission at St. Sebastian. It is affirmed that General Rizo has been shot at Bilbao, when Esparteru's troops entered. There are also reports of the execution of General La:Heia, and his two Aides-de- Camp at Santander.—Gazette de France. A report is spread at Paris that the Regent Espartero had granted an amnesty, or was on the point of granting one. The Ministerial papers make no mention of this news, of' which the Ministry was said to have received notice. A letter which we have received from Bayonne, dated the 20th October says:—" The Christine officers who have taken refuge at Bayonne, live in abundance; it is asserted, that three millions have arrived here which have been distributed among them and the soldiers who followed them. The attention which is shown them, gives credit among the public, to the absurd report which they circulated of a French intervention in Spain. M. Duchatel, our prefect, who arrived at Bayonne the day before yesterday, has changed the itinerary of the Christino general officers. Instead of going to Pau they go to Bordeaux. The Memorial des Pyrenees says :—" The Government, wo are assured, has given orders for several regiments, garrisoned in the south, to march to the frontier of the Pyrenees. Part of these troops are already on their march. It is said that General Rulhieres will have the chief command of these troops (about 100,000 men), and will have his head-quarters at Pau.—Cunstitutionnet The Exchequer Bill case, as will be seen by our Man sion-house Report, is at length about to undergo a public investigation. It will not do, however, to examine Mr. Smith in private, and Mr. Rapallo in public ; and we are not sure that justice has not been severely wounded by the proceedings already adopted. fi i 3 F Vi AND Public 6.l)9ttlion. " Who runs may read." rOItEIGN. On the 26th ult., General Rodil issued a Proclama tion dated from San Sebastian, in which he offered a free pity 4„0 nil insurgents who would claim it within it two e ., 4 p ,y§, except, ,the abettors of the rebellion at Pateuna, Vittoria, and Bilbao, who are to be shot witliont mercy. All deserters are likewise to be shot, as well as the encouragers of desertion, and the spread •')U ers ; abroad of idle rumours to the prejudice of the Go, vernment. As Rodil is a man of blood, the exceptional articles in his proclamation will doubtless be executed in all their relentless integrity.' The R:e"Ofit Estriero, has addressed a proclamation to the armyof,.. the worth, invoking their co-operation in crushing the rebellion, and addincr that he has the fullest confidence in their loyalty and devotion to the person of their old General and companion in arms. Generals O'Donnell and Urbistondo are reduced to in- digence by their late ,insurrectionary attempts in Spain. Will Christina Munoz requite them for their losses in her service ? In a letter froin Bayonne, of the 29th ult., we find the following statement:—" The total number of refugees who have, up to the latest date, entered France since the breaking out, of the counter-revolution, may be esti mated, including officers of every rank, at about 4,000 persons. More than 1,500 entered by St. Jean- Pied-de-Port and Sarre, and nearly 2,501) entered by various other points. The disposition of this body is thus arranged :—O'Donnell, Ortigosa, Urbistondo, and the General staff, are stationed at Pau ; the other officers, of superior rank, are quartered in two or three villages in the immediate neighbourhood of that town ; the captains and subalterns remain, some at Condom, and others at Dax, whilst the great body of the men are quartered at the two last-mentioned places. Such a dis posal of a force so lately in rebellion in their own coun try looks as if the French Government really intended that it should form a sort of advanced guard, to be ready at a moment's notice to re-enter Spain." 6 We have heard it whispered that Louis Philippe is resolved upon making another revolutionary attempt in Spain, and that he awaits but some Republican movement in Cadiz, Barce lona, or Malaga, to declare himself." The following from the Memorial of Pau would indi cate that General Zurbano, though a stern, bloodthirsty officer, has some sense of humour:—" Zurbano, on read ing in the Patriota that his head was put at the price of 100,000 reals, replied that the head of the President of the Government (Montes de Oca) was worth no more than a haunch of venison and a bottle of wine, which was all he would give to those who might get hold of him." General Leopold O'Donnell has arrived in Paris. It would be curious to witness his first interview with Ma dame Munoz. The 7'oulonnais has an article to the effect that a dis armament of the French naval force has been resolved upon. It appears, however, that the discharged crews will be replaced by conscripts, so that an additional naval force will be created. The French Journals of Monday occupy their leading columns with the insurrectionary conspiracy at Brussels, which appears from all accounts to have been a most wretched aftitir. lected in the midst of a commercial population. We see no use in it. It is not convenient to supply thelroops about the Palace at the West end, for it must pass through a crowded city to be conveyed to them. They could be as readily supplied from Woolwich. The same place is in finitely more convenient for embarking and landing all kinds of arms, as well as ammunition, to be sent away by sea. As a depot, the Tower is no longer adapted; it is not safe from fire; aLd to contirme to use it as a magazine is extremely dangerous to the inhabitants of the eastern part of te metropolis, and to the vessels in the Thames. As a place of defence against invading foreigners, the Tower is completely useless. In the present condition of London, and we pre sume the landlords do not contemplate reducing it to its narrow boundaries in the twelfth century, the Tower, as a means of defence for the City, is wholly useless. Tilbury Fort, which has more pretensions, is no longer relied on. If it be re quired to have a military fort in the eastern part of the metropolis to overawe the populace, a bet ter site could be chosen than the Tower of Lon don. We are inclined to recommend the citizens, therefore, to take up the subject, and procure some alteration in the future destination of that ancient fortress. If it is to be preserved on account of its anti quity and traditionary associations, let all that is really ancient, and which has not been touched by the fire, be retained ; and let it be exclusively appropriated to the preservation of the jewels of the Crown and the public records, under the charge of a few troops capable of holding it against a mob ; but let it not be henceforward considered a depot of arms and ammunition, and, above all, let us no longer have a powder maga zine in the heart of a populous city. The two characters of a place for the preservation of the regalia and the public records, and of a place for storing up guns, muskets, and powder, are wholly incompatible, at all times and places, and , particularly so in the spot where they have hitherto been united. We apprehend that all which is valuable in the Tower, - on account of its antiquity and associa tions, occupies a small space, and the huddled buildings about the walls, instead of being pre served as either ornamental or useful, ought to be pulled down as a disgrace. They remind us of the stalls and sheds we have sometimes seen built up on the outer walls of a Cathedral. The present destruction of the ordnance part of the establishment seems to us a favourable time for pressing such considerations on the citizens and on the Government. To both we venture to sug est, that the Tower ought no longer to be used s a fortress, pr ati' ordnance depot, and that •th should, w ilt their respective stations, take easures to alter its destination. The Govern ment should provide accommodation for the arms at Woolwich—the citizens should memoralise the Government to remove from the midst of the City a powder magazine which is there only dan gerous and no longer useful. The French Journals are naturally occu pied with the recent caricature of a rebel lious conspiracy at Brussels. Were it not that it involves the fate of a few reckless adventurers, and the happiness of their families, we should hardly deem it worth writing about. Whether the rebels belonged to the Orangist faction or not, is of little consequence, as there is really no party in Belgium so hostile to King LEOPOLD as to threaten the stability of his Government. The citizens of Paris are again crying out lbr some diminution of the imposts on the importa tion of beef. Their obtuseness of intellect is such, that they cannot yet be made to under stand how France is more prosperous by com pelling them to dine on broth made of the flesh of dogs, cats, donkeys, and worn-out horses, than on young fat German oxen at a still cheaper rate. They, in their ignorance of the Conservative be nefits of home production, blindly overlook the interests of the cat-rearers and dog-fanciers. Were their revolutionary prayers attended to, what would become of all the old ladies who now rear tabbies for the Parisian market? What dog_ fancier could live by stealing and skinning poodles, were the restaurateurs supplied with young fat beef at an equally cheap rate? Still the Parisians will not be convinced, and the Monopolists protest that they shall starve in their ignorance. The Presse has a clever article, dissuading the Government from the adoption of a retalia tory commercial policy towards the Ujiited States. General O'DONNELL has arrived in Paris to re port to Madam MuNoz the bad success of till revolutionary movement in Spain. What ex planation she will deign to give her dupe respect ing her disavowal of himself and his partizans, we pretend not to know; but the interview will be rather awkward, the more especially as O'DONNELL has expended what little fortune he posseOsed in this mad attempt. But fron the strong i;rce which Louis PHILIPPE is Spanish frontier, it would concentrating on appear that General O'DONNELL is not long destined to remain withoul; employment. The CITIZEN-KING is said to be disst:!isfied with the trifling number of throats cut in the COP i n sula • On the question of naval disarmament, we find the following in the Toulonnais : The disarmament of our naval forces, against which we have so often protested. is now probably going to take place. Nevertheless, all France being against this un timely dislocation, a different method has been taken to accomplish it than was at first intended. The sailors who have served for four years, three and a half, and even three years, have been ordered to be dismissed from service. We hear that even the sailors who have scarcely been forty-two months on board the Government ships will also be dismissed. The sailors are not to be all sent away together ; cnre has been taken - that they should leave only in small detachments, that their number may not make them be remarked on their way home. They have received permits authorising them to serve in the commercial navy. Men from the northern provinces aro to be embarked on board the Jena, destined for Brest, that they may not have to cross all France. These sailors will be re placed by conscripts, and soon after, under pretext of insufficiency, the vessels which the fresh equipages will no longer be able to manage, will first be put on the roads and afterwards disarmed. These precautions show the intentions of the Government, which, at all events, were foreseen. A fact also worthy of remark is the neglect of filling up the number of young officers. From Madrid there is no news of a later date than the 25th ult. The address of the National Guards of the capital to the young QUEEN, with her MAJESTt'S answer, will be found in another part of The Sun. In the same column will be found some interesting gossip from the Spanish frontier, to which we direct attention. The Annual Session of the Council-General of the Seine was closed on Friday. During the discussion on the door and window-tax and the patent-tax, the ques tion of the census was brought on the tapis. The Council recognised the legality of the measure, but at the same time recommended that the census should be taken ac cording to the ancient mode and the last instructions given by the Minister of Finance. The following is an extract from the recommendation addressed by the mem bers to the Prefect:—" The Council-General persists in its repeated desire that lean cattle should be ad mitted into France duty free—that the duties levied at the frontiers on all other cattle should be regulated by weight, and not by number—and that an uniform duty should be fixed whereby the burthen of such imposts would be greatly lessened. The Council also expresses a wish that the Government should seriously inquire whether there cannot be adopted an uniform and moderate rate of postage for all letters throughout the continental territories of the kingdom—that there should be a reduction of the charge of all letters beween soldiers in actual service and their families, and particu larly for those who are in Africa —that the delay of twelve hours, so injurious to commerce , f or all depart mental and forei , rn l e tters passing through Paris , shou ld be abridg e d ; and lastly that the charge on all money letters, or at least those containing small sums, should be reduced. - We have received the following from Amsterdam, of 28th ult.:—" Yesterday the definitive refusal of t he Kin g , as Grand D u k e of Luxembourg, to ratify the treaty be tween Luxembourg and the German Customs Union, was officially communicated to the Prussian Minister at this Court. This event has created a great sensation in the diplomatic corps, as it was known that the King had re ceived from Berlin an energetic note on the subject of his refusal to ratify the treaty, and that Austria and England had also expressed apprehensions as to the con sequences likely to result from it. The Belgian and Dutch Commissioners who are now at Antwerp to settle that part of the treaty of peace between the two countries which regards the use and navigation of the Scheldt, have agreed on a very important point, which has been the subject of negotiations for two years, viz., the PunLxc OPINION. The Herald, alluding to the singular case of the bank rupt, Cave, .remarks as follows:—" The facts disclosed in a remarkable case of bankruptcy, reported in yester day's Herald, cannot fail to be suggestive, to thinking minds, of painful reflections, too characteristic, we fear, of the age in which we live. The case to which we refer is that of an individual named Cave, the failure of whose mining speculations has involved several Members of Parliament, and men of title, and clergymen, in ruinous losses. This person lived in society, inhabited a house in ono of the fashionable squares, handsomely furnished and crowded with valuable paintings, and without flaming advertisements or seductive prospectuses, but on the strength of apparent respectability, and on the offer of a high rate of interest, had actually thrust on him, by men of fortune, 360,00 t . for investment in mining specu lations of which they were in utter ignorance, and which never realised one farthing, although he paid to these eager lenders no less a sum than 60,0001. for interest, in three or four years, out of their own subscriptions ! It is melancholy, we may add, to know that an excessive love of gain was the cause of such infatua tion, and that clergymen of the Established Church so far forgot the sacred duties of their holy calling as to be led away by this unlawful desire of lucre."— Respectability has an irresistible charm in the eyes of all conventional people, as we see in the remarkable case above narrated. It is the " Open Sessame" to their houses, and not seldom to their purses. Thurtell once defined respectability as the keeping of a gig ; we here find it is the living in a fashionable square, giving good dinners, and lining your halls with paintings. Had Mr. Cave resided in an obscure quarter of the town ; eschewed dinner-giving ; and walked about in a coat far advanced in the autumn of its life, his mining projects, however judiciously planned, would have been sure to fail, from his apparent want of respectability. It is this factitious admiration of conventional respectability—this hungering and thirsting for its show rather than its reality—that is the curse of modern society, confounding all the distinctions between the true and , the false, and substituting the shadow for the substance. The Post says :—" That the British nation is essen-: tinily Conserv:lave was proved in a manner the most conclusive and satisfactory by the result of the late gene 'mai 'election, when a constituency created by the Whig- Radidal Reform. Bill, for the undisguised purpose of secu ring to the Whig-Radical party a perpetual majority in the House . of Commons, sent to that assembly a decided majority of Conservative members."—The late election did not prove that the British nation is essentially Tory— we repudiate the sneaking, cowardly alias of Conserva tive ; it proved only that the Tories had longer purses, and spent more money in bribery than their opponents. The late Alnwick demonstration in favour of Lord Howick, seems to have given exceeding uneasiness to the Times, which it vents in the following manner It appears that Lord Howick refuses his valuable confidence to the Conservative Ministry: This is distressing in its own way. Pray, shall we encounter the additional calamity of enduring the whole weight of his Lordship's opposition—Mr. Charles Wood included ? No such thing ; a gleam of hope breaks through this threaten ing cloud to cheer Sir Robert Peel, for Lord Howick subsequently declares that he does not wish at pre sent the dismissal of the existing Ministry,' but will punctually give directions for overthrowing them as soon as the fitting moment shall arrive, when his Lordship will do his best to supplant them with minds of a high order. Altogether this Alnwick demon stration has been even more discreditable to Lord Howick than his memorable waspishness at the declaration of the Northumberland poll. The creature seems to be lite rally bursting with a mingled inflation of rage and vanity—the foibles, we suppose, of minds of a high order."—The indignation of the Times is the best pos sible testimony that can be borne to Lord Howick's sin cerity in the cause of Reform. So long as he is thus ob noxious to the Tories, we shall rely on his efficiency as a judicious and liberal statesman, Were he otherwise, they would not think it worth their while to notice him. As a mere party-man his Lordship may be at times somewhat refractory, but as a Reformer on an enlightened scale,— who really wishes to further the progress of judi cious measures of improvement, we believe him to be as conscientious and as zealous as any statesman of the day. Speaking of Earl De Grey's Irish Administration, the Chronicle observes:—" Lord De Grey is rather unfortu nate in his endeavours to pass for a no ; for it appears that no party as yet believes him. Those on the popular side are naturally mistrustful, seeing the Noble Earl's actions so widely at variance with his professions. If he were sincerely desirous, they say, to suppress a party spirit in Ireland, he would not select the most noted partisans in the whole country to fill all the posts of confidence and honour under his Government, and carry his real purposes into effect. On the other hand, 'tis clear that the unyielding Orange factionists do not trust the Noble Lord's own report against himself ;' otherwise, they would not be still so full of flattery and admiration. Quite willing are they that both he and Lord Eliot should talk liberality by the ell Flemish; but it would be an other affair if they saw anything like an approach to ho nest or impartial dealing in the administration of the pa tronage vested in the Government."—There is an evi dent leaning towards Orangeism in the present Irish Government, but it could scarcely have been otherwise, considering with whom the appointment of the Viceroy rested. Sir Robert Peel is not the man to recommend the practice of a liberal policy—at least so liberal as to be really useful,--in Ireland. lie is yet too much hampered by, stands too much in awe of, the Orangemen. Ireland need expect nothing more from him than the empty show of justice, the solid substance must be conceded by a Minister of a far different calibre. After alluding to the present distressed state of the country, the Cambridge Advertiser goes on to observe:— " In this melancholy state of society, when thousands of human creatures are starving from want of employment, we should', have expected that those who are placed at the head of the affairs of the country, would have been employed in devising —nay, would have been actually prepared with, measures for bettering the condi tion of the people. They cannot help being acquainted with the state of the nation—they know well that misery exists to the extent which we have described. And yet they contemplate with the calmest indifference all this accumulation of human wretchedness." The Pibt, speaking of Mr. O'Connell's election to the Dublin May-orally, says :—" We do not condescend to allude to it as a triumph over a fallen party. It is wound up with a cause based upon sentiments too noble and philanthropic to permit us to do so ; but we appeal to it to draw the attention of the people to the onward pro gress they have made, and to tell them to point to it whenever they are told that any thingpolitically just is impracticable—Daniel O'Connell Lord Mayor of Dub lin ! It requires but a brief experience to feel that the change is. a signal one." The Brighton Guardian remarks, in allu.don to APLeod's trial :—" The trial will on the whole have beneficial results. It was conducted from first to last with great decorum and gravity. There is in the pro ceedings a greater latitude allowed to witnesses than we allow, and much is given in evidence which would not have been received in an English Court ; but with that , exception—and we do not think it a disadvantageous one . to the American Court—we see nothing in the whole of the proceedings of which our own highest tribunal might not be justly proud." AGRICULTURAL. An Essex paper states, " it is much to be feared that the breadth of wheat next year will be much circum scribed, in consequence of the wetness of the pre sent season, which renders the sowing a matter of very great difficulty and uncertainty. Another evil, from the same cause, is the innumerable increase of slugs, which will make dreadful havoc with the blade." A Namur journal observes, that the unusual quantity of rain &lien during the present month, has caused so . _ great a number of snails as to create considerable fears for the barleys. • ECCLZSIASTICAIL. In the Arches' Court on Tuesday- articles were exhibited, _ . at the instance of the Bishopof 6Kford, against the Rev. W. H. Langley, perpetual curate of Wheatley, for "brawling in the Church." On the 9th of May last, it appeared after reading the Gloria Patei, the curate ad dressed the congregation, and - among other expressions the following was Objected to by the Bishop I have been charged with adultery, but the fact is, that one night as I :was coming from my tenant's at Lobb Farm, I saw a drunken man ill-treating his wife, and kinterfered for her protection, for my being a clergyman did not prevent my acting with humanity towards a female under such circumstances; the man told me I might be dammed, what was it to me, what had I to do with it ? He then struck me, but the Lord gave me power, and I knocked the man • down,' at the same time using ' the action of striking with your list, in illustration of theinanner in w hich you struck the said man." And again "That you then adverted to her Majesty's Ministers, and the proposed alteration in the Corn-laws, and de clared that the Ministers deserved praise for enabling every one to worship God according to their own con science, and for wishing to give to every man a cheap loaf ; that all who had votes would soon he called upon to give them, and you urged them to give them in favour of the then Ministers, and added Cod bless the pre sent-Governmont."—lt would be difficult to point out an act -more praiseworthy than defending a helpless woman, or language more becoming a Minister of the Gospel than that embodying • the latter charge. The articles, however, were admitted, and Mr. Langley was ordered to give an issue next Court day.

The Worship-street Magistrate announced on Tuesday that he bad received 51. for the poor-box of the Court, from a Correspondent, with the initial F. F., and the same amount from a gentleman, through the hands of Garfttt and Co., Louth. The Sitting Magistrate at Lam beth-street had also received 51. for the same purpose through the Louth Bank, the donation of a " Country Gentleman." A similar sum was announced at Marlbo rough-street the other day, altogether 20/., contributed anonymously. The arrears of the several Common-law Courts for the present term are as follow:—In the Queen's Bench, 85 motions for new trials, and a list of 54 others on the " special paper." In the Common Pleas, 39 new trials, and 14 on the demurrer list. In tho Exchequer, 6 new trials, and Bin the special paper. Each of these arc, however, liable to be increased by trials from the Cir cuits, and other causes. PINE ARTS.

The Duke and Duchess of Buecleuch are visiting Vis count and Viscountess Sydney, at Frognal Lodge, Kent. Count and Countess Baptiste Metaxa have arrived in town, from the Albion Hotel, Brighton. The East India Directors gave a grand entertain ment last evening at the London Tavern to Lord Ellen borough, the newly-elected Governor-General, to which her Majesty's Ministers are invited. MISCELLANEOUS. _ _ Mr. O'Connell has announced that no man shall know what his political opinions are while acting in his official capacity as Lord Mayor, and that his conduct will be characterised by the strictest impartiality. We learn from a Galway Paper that the Rev. 1)r. Coher, a Roman Catholic Bishop, has given in his adhe sion to the present Ministry. From the barometrical accounts kept at the Horticul tural Society at Chiswick, it appears that the warmest day in October was on the 14th, whilst on the 21st it was six degrees below the freezing point. The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, have just re ceived a present of a splendid collection of cacti, broil - a:- liacice, and other rare plants, from Aylmer Lambert, Esq., of Lower Grosvenor-street. The first Mayor ,of Dublin, says the Pilot, who was dignified by the title of Lord Mayor was a " Daniel," he was also a " Sir," being Sir Daniel Bellingham. He flourished in 1665, and ]gad a grant from the Crown of sod a-year to support the dignity of the Mayoralty. RUMOURS OX' THE DAY. A report prevailed in Westminaer Hall on Tuesday that Mr. Justice Bosanquet was about to retire from the Bench, to give place to Mr. Sergeant Goulburn, brother of the Chancellcr of the Exchequer. The rumour seemed to please neither Whig nor Tory. THE POLICE COURTS' ACT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) For some time past representations have been made to the Secretary of State, and also to the Commissioners of Police, complaining of the inconvenience that existed in the district of the Croydon Police, a consequence of the present defective arrangements in reference to the attendance of Magistrates to dispose of the cases brought by the police. Our readers are aware, that, by the provisions of the New Police Act, the Metropolitan Po lice were empowered to act, under an Order of Council, within fifteen miles :of London ; and the P division of Police, in accordance with that Act, have, for a consider able time, been extended to Croydon, and four or five miles below that town ; but, although the police are extended, the new Act of Parliament is itself almost a dead letter, inasmuch as it requires two county Justices at least, in number, to be enabled to act upon it ; and as it is with very great difficulty, occasionally, that one Magistrate can be obtained, it occurs that the provisions of the Act are seldom or ever put in force. There are ten resident Magistrates in the neighbourhood, but as most of them are gentlemen con nected with business in London, and who go to town every day, and others live at a distance front Croydon, and very seldom go there, the whole burden of the busi ness rests upon two or three gentlemen, who deserve great credit for the services they render; but it often necessarily happens that they are unable to come to Croy&n, and the police have them to send about in all directions to find a Magistrate, and in the meantime the prisoners are detained in custody, frequently for an ex tended period, the witnesses are kept waiting, and at times it is found necessary to send the prisoners back to the police-station for another day, or till such time, if it is a serious case, as a Magistrate can be obtained. Another inconvenience arises from this state of things. The police have no place of their own to which they can send a prisoner for safe custody, and they are obliged to send him to what is called the cage, or town gaol; and for every prisoner the parish of Croydon makes a charge upon the constable who brings him, of so much per day; and as there are no funds from whence repayment can be obtained, the constables very often have to pay this sum out of their own pockets. It is very necessary either that a police court should be erected in that district, or ,else that some other means should be adopted to pnt,an, end to this inconvenient state of things. . PRESENT STATE OF THE ARREARS IN THE CommoX Law CouaTs.—On Tuesday Michaelmas Term commenced, and the following is a correct statement. of the arrears in the several Common Law Courts. In the Queen's Bench there are 85 motions for new trials on cases already tried, and a list of 54 in what is termed " The special paper," consisting of demurrers to plead ings, special cases and verdicts for the opinion of the Court on points of law. The first new trial was moved for so long ago as Easter Term, 1840, which commenced in April of that year. The list will be considerably in creased by the number of motions to be made in the pre sent Term, arising from trials during the late Circuit, many of which are of a heavy nature, especially from the Northern Circuit, on which a great deal of business is always transacted. In the Court of Common Pleas there are but 39 new trials, but the first of which was obtained in Easter Term, 1840. There are only 14 causes in the demurrer list of the same Court. In the Exchequer list of rules for new trials standiug . for argu ment, there are only . six, and right in the special paper. Besides the arrears in the Court of Queen's Bench, above mentioned, that Court has a list called the peremptory paper, being rules standing over for argument, and iu which all causes for debts under 201., tried before the Sheriff, and in which applications are made fur new trials are entered. The Courts, under a statute called Lord Denman's Act, are empowered to determine motions for new trials, &c., during the vacation, and under that Act the arrears have been considerably reduced. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.-7-011 Tuesday night an inquest was held at the Black Lion public-house, Silver-street, before C. 11.
