Some of our Liberal Contemporaries are now beginning, though it be rather late, seriously to attack the Corn-laws. They are endeavouring to show that it is bad husbandry to cultivate too many white crops, and that consequently the Corn-laws, which give a bounty on the growth of white crops, is injurious to agriculture. We are not disposed to enter the lists with our friends; but our view of the matter is different from theirs. Our Contemporaries write as if the importation of wheat alone were prohibited. But the importation of cattle is entirely forbidden, and in proportion as the wealth and taste of the people induce them to consume meat, the pre sent laws must be, at least, an equal encourage ment to the cultivation of green crops and the fattening of cattle as to the cultivation of white crops. Such considerations, however, even if the ar guments of our Contemporaries were well found ed, seem to us more to concern the business of the farmer than the great public weal ; and for our parts we regret to see a question of the high est moral importance degraded into a question of fattening a few head of cattle, or growing a I few quarters of wheat more or less. Of one thing, too, we are quite sure, namely, that the Legislature as a body knows nothing whatever of the best means of promoting agri culture, and therefore for it to attempt that by legislation ought not to be tolerated. It is also quite plain that all the arguments of our Contemporaries being directed against attempting to stimulate the production of wheat by a protecting duty, tell with equal force against that fixed duty of Bs. of which they are advocates, as against the sliding scale, which has given only a protection of less than 65., of which they are the opponents. Our Contemporaries, with these argume n t s , seem to us to have come too late to the rescue. The public mind has ripened, far beyond the influence of their feeble and watery sunshine ; more masculine and bolder thoughts have seized the minds of men, aye, and of women too ; and the petty puerilities of a shilling or two diffe rence in the market-price of wheat in different countries, or of a few acres more or less being cultivated with one crop or another, are dis carded for the broad principles of justice. The Legislature is scarcely authorised by public Opi nion to inflict death fbr great crimes, and it never can be authorised, therefore, to starve a single human being, much less thousands of hu man beings, e very year, in order (if such we re the result, which it is not), to extend the culti vation of wheat, and increase the landlord's rent. e t When an individual , or a class, is endoLveNv ex elusively d elusively with the po wer of making law men can gratify their most selfish or their most • savage lusts, by going through the form of writ ing a few words in a book, or promulgating an order, or getting up a mock debate, it would he the height of folly in them to seek their gratifi cation by any other means than that of using this convenient instrument. If, for example, the Emperor NicHoLAs be anxious to banish any particular nobleman to Siberia, from crossing his path in love or war, he may charge him with some offence, and legally keep his rival out of his way till the end of his existence. Now, for NICHOLAS, who possesses this legal means of gratifying his evil passions, to sally forth from bi,s palace with his sword, fol lowed by his guards, in order to seize such a supposed rival, and transport him by his own bodily strength, and the strength of his tbl lowers, would be considered madness. He can gratify his lusts after a certain methodised and organised manner; but they are not the less lusts, nor is he the less wicked, nor are his ac tions less evil. If, for example, the gentlemen landowners of England can, by passing a certain law, extract from each man a portion of his income in the price of his food, would it not be silliness in them to go to the actual work of picking pockets to attain the same end? If the Anglican clergy be endowed by law with a large portion of the an nual produce of industry, and are elevated into the dignity of dictators to other men ; if they, by being so endowedwith the produce of othermen's labour, are enabled to live in ease and comfort, and to wield a vast portion of political power 's ithout exactinT RiPat 471 - 11' ;:ng out. spiritual ana thimias; if , :•• = ecclesiastical courts to compel m 4.,iiey their behests, what need have they • of personal exertions to attain the same end? If they were to use violence would they not be regarded as mad, like the Emperor NtcnoLAs, in the case abo ve c i te d . A dominant individ ua l, or a do rainant class, which can attain its ends and gratify its wishe s by making laws, :1211; ..y.s!rNt would be inexcusable if it had recourse to other means. But those who have not the power of making laws as a means of gaining their ends, are driven have recourse to violent and illegal means, which in the others would be objectionable. It is certainly very bad of the Catholic priests to threaten the people with spiritual penalties if they do not vote as the said Catholic priests would have them ; but does nothing of the kind take place under Protestant priests ? The Established_ clergy hold many of the peo ple in the rural districts in such a state of pecu niary and mental bondage, that they never dare to think, even on any public matter, without asking leave of the squire and the parson, who are generally leagued together. The organiza tion of the Church by law, as the servant of the aristocracy, is so complete, that it works in the rural districts unfelt and unseen. Having such a power, which it quietly uses to the same ends as the Roman Catholic priesthood use their power, it would be mere silliness in them were they to threaten men with spiritual punishment on any special occasion, in order to obtain a vote. They know better; they have that power by law which the Roman Catholics have in spite of the law, and hence there is a difference in their mode of action, but the nature of their power is the same, and so are the ends it is employed to attain. We have no faint recollection, too, that not many months ago, Mr. HETHERINGTON was sentenced to three months' imprisonment for merely publishing a book which expressed opinions not relished by the Protestant priests. It is true that the law was the instrument of punishment, but the law was framed and set in motion by the Protestant priests. There was in Mr. HETIIERINGTON'S case no vague threat, it was the positive infliction of punishment. Other cases of the like kind might be enumerated, but of severer punishment. Per sons have been imprisoned eighteen months and two years, not because they did not vote as the English priests told them, but because they pre sumed even to think differently from those priests. We dislike and condemn the tyranny of the priests in Ireland, but we hate and re probate, to the whole extent of our strength, the greater tyranny of the priests in England, which is exercised in the name of the law, and, by Protestants, in the name of resistance to ecclesiastical tyranny. Some persons may suppose that there is a great difference in the cases, inasmuch as the law is on the side of the English priests and against the Roman Catholic priests in Ireland. We cannot see any difference unfavourable to the Catholics. They have not the law to work with, and therefore they act spontaneously on their• own authority. The English priests shelter themselves behind the law. They add hypo crisy to arrogance. Having made the law their in strument, they have no reason to act personally ; but it is because the law in Ireland is not the in strument of the Catholic priests that they are obliged to act personally. This is all the differ ence between the two parties. The law maxim is, who acts by another, acts for himself; and while the Protestant priests cowardly slink behind an enactment, the Roman Catholic priests boldly exercise their power in their own way. We say this on the supposition that every thing reported of the Roman Catholic priests is true ; but we must not omit to observe that the testimony agai':ist them, on which the Tories rest their abuse, is that of opponents and enemies, heated and chagrined by electioneering defeats. Were some of our Contemporaries, who are very forward in abusing the Catholic priests, not because they desire different objects from the Protestant priests, but because they use diffe rent means to obtain them, only to reflect that the Protestant priests have in the law an instru ment to gratify their lust of power or wealth, while the Catholics have no such instrument, they would not, we think, expend all their anger on the Catholic priests; at least, they ought not, and ought to reserve some of it for the Anglican priests. But one set of priests may, according to the proverb, steal a horse, while another, de siring the horse equally with his fellows, must not look over a hedge. One is our own priest, and we honour him as a divine, the other is the priest of some other man, and we treat him as • the patron of superstition. To show how general is the disdain and contempt which the Tories entertain of the manufacturing population, we must mention that the Morning Herald yesterday, like the Quarterly Review, the Standard, and the Morning Post, spoke of the millions of the manufacturing districts as hav ing no right to exist, because they alarmed and endangered the Government. Instead of the Government being the servant of the indus trious classes, existing only to protect that pro perty which has no other source than industry, it has become their absolute master, entitled, ac cording to the showing of the Herald, to starve the manufacturers out of existence, or prevent them ever coming into being, lest they should en danger the Government. Unconsciously the Tory scribe betrayed the whole secret of his party's policy. The multitude are to be sacrificed to the convenience of the few, and Government and law are the subtle instruments the Tories are to employ to obtain their ends. It now stands confessed on all hands that the Corn-laws are maintained to keep down the ma nufacturing population. Lord ASHBURTON— poor sentimentalist—does not like to see the land covered with tall chimneys, and the rest of the Tories do not like to sec the increase of a manu facturing population, it is so different from the scared and obedient serfs they are accustomed to command. The quiet happiness of the work ing millions in their own way, the peaceful en joyments of their own comforts with their wives and families, their domestic bliss and their do mestic sorrows, are all to be put down by the Tories to secure the Constitution and the Govern ment. The Corn-law, we repeat, is one of the instruments by which they hope to secure the success of their horrible and even hellish system. We invite special attention to the subject which has for two days engrossed the attention s o of the Proprietor- East India Stock and the Directors o f the Company ; we refer to the inte resting c ase of the dethroned and exiled RAJA of SATTA . P. A a u Prince of ancient and high lineage, who has o b o eei deprived of his p o wer, his dignity, and hi s private trial, and upon testimo ny, property, without a which we think every can did mind, who exanmY? mes the debate, will pron ounce in the highest degree unsatisfactory. It is, however, most gratifying to perceive t h a t the debate has had the Yng effectiof bringing b announced ou t one of the oldest and most d en influential of the Directors, "Mr. TUCKER, wh o yesterday that in his opinion th e RAJA had not to be guilty o f an y act warra nting his e shown dethrone ment, m ent, and that he was p re p a red to do all e tth jus tice which the circums ta nces of the case l e ad mitted. He propose d that the R AJA'S character should be cleared; that his jewels, money, and other property should be restored ; and that he should be invested with the power of nominating a successor to the throne, on the demise of i ts present occupant. Should this be done, although we think full justice would not be awarded to the ex-RAJA, yet his friends, who have so boldly laboured on his behalf', may be considered as triumphant, and to have read a lesson, both to the Governments abroad, and the authorities at home, by which they are likely very greatly to profit in time to come. The debate is resumed to-day. We shall report the proceedings and the result to-morrow. Lord STANLEY—as will be seen by reference to another column—has had a lesson read to him by Mr. SYDNEY SMITH, which he will do well to take to heart. But, indeed, he can scarcely fail to do so, for the sarcasm is such as must cut clean through the thick coatings of even his self-conceit and vanity. Never was a pert, shallow Lordling so woefully bemauled ! He is exposed in all his littleness and charlatanism—stripped fairly to the skin, with not a rag left to cover his nakedness. j THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1841. Laying aside the character of a mere wit—though there is enough wit in his Letter to set up a dozen small wags for life—Mr. SMITH shows, by terse, apt, and clinching argument, how supremely absurd are the doc trines broached by Lord STANLEY in his late hustings speech in South Lancashire • that, in fact, he is an advocate for free trade without knowing it, and damages the cause of monopoly by the very logic which he presses into its service ! " I hail you," says the Reverend writer, " as a guerilla partizan of the free trade, who, if he cannot join the regular army, can make independent war Upon the inconsistencies of par tial monopoly. When your Chief proposes his modifica tion of the sliding-scale, I shall borrow his colleague's sneers at his flirtation with protection." We wish Sir ROBERT PEEL joy of such a docile and consistent col league ! He will be a constant thorn in his side, and do more injury to his Government than all the thick-skulled squad of his country-gentlemen supporters put together. With just enough talent to be mischievous—with just enough ill-nature to multiply enemies—and just enough wilfulness of temper to precipitate him into the profoundest blunders—we predict that Sir R. PEEL will find in Lord STANLEY a far worse enemy to his policy than he will ever find on the Opposi tion bench. The hard, open, manly hits of a RUSSELL wilt not do him half so much damage as the sly stabs of a STANLEY. He can be on his guard against the one ; the other will always have his hand raised against him, at the very moment when he is least pre pared for the assault. It is a most providential circum stance for the cause of Reform, that Lord STANLEY has enlisted under the Tory banners. With him and GRA HAM for their enemies, what need the Reformers fear for the ultimate success of the great cause they have so much at heart ? We direct the attention of every friend of civil and re ligious liberty throughout the world to an appeal of the Christian inhabitants of the Island of Candia, now in arms against their tyrants, the Turks, addressed to the Governments and people of civilised Europe, which will be found in another part of The Sun. This brave and long-suffering race, released from the iron despotism of MEHEMET ALI, have taken up arms to recover that free dom which, but for the apathy and the treason of the pretended friends of Grecian Independence they never would have lost. We trust the aid which :they will receive from ,our brave countrymen will blot out from the memory ,of Greece the sad episode which connects the English name with the ruin and dispersion of the patriotic and chivalrous Pargiotes. Political con siderations may prevent our Government from an early interference in the concerns of Candia ; but among the subordinate authorities we anticipate no discovery of a second Sir THOMAS MAITLAND to stain with the imputa tion of liberticide the annals of his native country. If such a foe to freedom and the Candiotes make his ap pearance in the Mediterranean, in Greece, or at Con stantinople, we shall take care, be his rank what it may, to hold him up to the execration of the English people. We have received the whole of the French journals o f Wednesday, but most of the intelligence contained in them was anticipated by the express from Paris, which appeared in the Afternoon Edition of The Sun of yes terday. Another express of Thursday's date enables us to gratify our readers with the most important news which appeared in the Paris journals of yesterday. The details will be found in another column. In our sum mary of Public Opinion we have glanced at the vile abuse heaped upon this country by the French Liberal press, because Lord PALMERSTON denounced at Tiverton the inhuman way in which France is extending her conquests in Africa. The Courrier Francais, the Temps, and the Siecle attacked us on Tuesday, and on Wednesday the Commerce and the National had a fling at us. As the National is barely the organ of a vile faction in France, and rarely, if ever speaks the sentiments of the nation, we shall not here condescend to notice its barefaced calumnies. But as a specimen of the tone of the more moderate portion of the French press, we quote an extract from the article in the Commerce : " Lord Palmerston would never have taken such a liberty, if France had a Government which cared for her glory and dignity. Even under the restoration no English Minister could have been guilty of such conduct without meeting with strong remonstrances. How is it, then, that our Ministry has not yet protested in the slightest degree against these attacks on the honour of the French army. But the Press, at least, survives for the defence of the dignity of the army and the country. Without doubt, our war in Africa is carried on with an inveteracy and a spirit of reprisal at variance with, the habits of Europe ; but has war ever been carried on dif ferently in the East? Have not the Arabs set the example of cruelty and extermination ? Have they not, whenever they were able, burnt our crops and farms, slaughtered our colo nists, massacred prisoners, and murdered the wounded ? Were they acquainted with any other system of warfare, and was it not a necessity for us to adopt their own course, in order to be able at length to impose upon them more hu mane customs ? Have we not succeeded in this attempt ? Have we not introduced and commenced a number of Euro pean customs amongst these half-savage tribes, habituated to put to the sword their conquered enemies ? At the present moment, prisoners are respected on both sides, exchanges are made according to the laws of civilization, and it was French influence which first impoeed this amelioration amongst a people accustomed only to the work of destruction. Have the English done as much? True it is that we ravage the country of our enemies; but is not this a necessity of war? This is a rare piece of political reasoning. The Com merce does not deny the truth of the statements made by Lord PALMERSTON ; on the contrary, it confirms them, and yet is indignant that the French Government did not call his Lordship to account for them ! It admits the savage character of the war, but with a simplicity which must provoke a smile, argues that the Arabs were all the better for it. The way to make ft truth-teller of the father of lies is to beat him hollow in mendacity. By out-Heroding HEROD—by surpassing the Arabs in atrocity, the French charmed them into an adoption of the rules of civilized warfare. Verily, the majority of the readers of French newspapers must be a very simple race if such appeals to their understanding provoke neither their indignation nor their laughter. Jt is stated in the Havre Papers, that a vessel just arrived there frem Canton has brought a considerable collection of ob jects of natural history, and among them a white monkey. Its eyes are red, its hair quite white, and its conformation, as the Journal du Havre remarks, presents many analogies to that of the Albinos among the African tribes. A typhoid fever has broken out in the College at Auch, where two of the pupils are dead, and twenty others are seri ously ill. All the rest have been sent home. The Baron de Brabante, the French Ambassador at Saint Petersburgh, is said to be engaged in writing a history of the Parliament of Paris. It is stated in a letter, quoted by the Constitutionnel, that sixteen persons, w ho had arrived from Alexandria, had died of plague, in the lazaretto of the capital. The Zurich papers state, that the eastern part of that Canton, and nearly the whole of Saint Gall, have been recently devastated by a severe storm. In parts, the crops and vegeta tion were entirely destroyed, large troops were uprooted, barns swept away, and liouss so much damaged as to be rendered uninhabitable. A steam-boat in the port of Rapperschwy was obliged to quit her moorings and stand out into the lake to save herself from being driven on shore. The hail was so violent and the darkness so entire, that for a time it was with the greatest difficulty the crew could work the ship. Some Eng -1 sh passengers on board declared they never before thought themselves so near being lost. A French cot vette - arrived on the 26th at Syra, bringing aceounts that the Turkish garrison of Suda had received a re inforcement of 300 regular troops, and that. 4,000 Albanians had embarked at Constantinople for Suda. A letter from Tulle, in the Commerce, says—" Madame Laffarge is finishing the writing of her memoirs, which will form four octavo volumes, and the copyright has been sold to a bookseller for a good price, more, certainly, than it is worth, as regards the morals of society. She is also preparing her defence for her trial in the affair of the diamonds, which will be brought belore our tribunal next month. We are as sured that she has subpoenaed more than fifty witnesses, and the Procureur-General forty." The Corsican journals give an account of a grand ball and entertainment given on the Ist instant, by the city of Ajac cio, to Admiral Hugon and the officers of his squadron, at the Prefecture, the front of which was brilliantly illuminated. Three grand saloons were richly decorated, and the music, partly composed of the Admiral's band, was peculiarly good. The scene was dazzling, by the mixture of naval and military uniforms, the costumes of many nations, and the tastefsal dresses of the ladies. Dancing was kept up till day-break. A journeyman silk-weaver of Lyons, being excited to frenzy by the desertion, and marriage to another man, of a woman who had been his mistress for several years, went, on Thursday last, to the rooms of the new-married couple, and, as the bridegroom came to the door, levelled at him a pistol, but fortunately it missed fire ; at the same moment the bride made her appearance, and at her Gillet discharged another pistol. The ball wounded her ear, but did no other injury. Disap pointed in his aim, the desperate man rushed to a window, which was on an elevated story, threw himself out of it, and was taken up a lifeless corpse. A most unusual case of fecundity is reported by the Courrier de Lyon, to have lately been evinced in the canton of Thucyts in the Ardeche. A woman, who had never before had a child, and remained single till the age of 60, when she married to a man reckoning about the same number of years, is now enciente. The feast of St. Peter and St. Paul, on the 20th ult., was celebrated at Rome with the accustomed pomp at St. Peter's, the Pope officiating in person. On the preceding evening, the facade and cupola of the cathedral were Illumina ted, and on that of the day itself the usual fireworks were dis played from the castle of St. Angelo. On the Ist inst., his Holiness removed from the Vatican to the Quirinal. AUSTRIAN FUNDS,—VIENNA, Jvui 7. F:ve per Cents.

The 20th of July is the last day for sending in county claims ; and for 101. voters paying poor-rates and assessed taxes in boroughs. County electors who are. not already registered for the same property, or who have changed their places of abode since last July, must, on or before the 20th of July instant, send to the overseers of the parish in which their property is situated their claims to vote, which must contain a description of their places of residence, the nature of qualification, and its situation, or the tenant's name; and they must send with each claim a shilling. Borough electors who live in 101. houses will lose their votes unless they pay, on or before the 20th of July instant, all poor rates and window taxes due prior to the 6th of April last, whether demanded by the collector or not. Scot and lot voters will be disfranchised unless they pay, on or before the 30th of July instant, all the poor -rates which have been de of them up to that day. ' The Times, no longer ago-than Tuesday last, could find no other terms in which_to describe Lord Morpeth than these,—" The tool of O'Connell, the slanderer of the women of England." Yesterday, the smile journal. said of the same Noble Lord, we- ' have uniformly felt sin cere respect for his many amiable personal qualities, and unquestionable honour and integrity in private life," — with much more similar flummery. The " slanderer of the women " is also " a generous enemy." The " tool of O'Connell " is also, " of all the Whig statesmen, the man of most .gentle disposition and most cultivated mind." If Lord Morpeth and every other man, whether Whig or Tory, be not equally insensible to the praise and censure of the Times, that journal, by the reckless ness with which it abuses that man on Tuesday, whom it praises on a Thursday, must leave him without an ex cuse for his sensibility. The moral perversion of the Tory press is visible in a remark of the Standard. On Tuesday that journal said Mr. Burke was hardly a great man at fifty years of age. Before he reached that age he had written more than half the works which are a storehouse of poli tical wisdom ; but he had not then turned Tory, nor been placed on the Civil List. He only became a great man, in the eyes of the Standard, when he was on the eve of being a renegade and a pensioner. Our Contem porary is privileged to misrepresent living statesmen, but he has no right to take liberties with history. EXPRESS FROM PARIS The Moniteur announces officially, that on the 13th instant the final protocol and the convention relative to the closing of the Straits of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus were signed in London. The same paper contains the following telegraphic despatch dated Madrid, the 10th inst. : " The two Chambers met to:day to decide the question of the guardianship. Out of the 239 deputies and senators pre sent, 203 declared the guardianship vacant, and M. Arguelles, having been elected by 180 votes, was vroclaimed guardian to the Queen, and to the Infanta, her sister." The Royal ordinance, supe;sedinc , M. Mahul in :the post of Prefect of Toulouse, has appeared in the Moniteur. We find in the same official organ the returns of the indirect revenues of France during the half year ending on the 30:h of June last, which amounted to 341,989,000 francs, showing an increase of 28,241,000 francs as compared to those of 1839, and of 8,273,000 francs over those of 1840. The intelligence from Madrid of the Bth is unimportant. Several extensive failures had taken place on the Bourse. The Five per Cents, were done at 25i for cash, and at 26i at 60 days. Accounts from the frontiers of Turkey, of the Ist inst., men tion that a conspiracy had been discovered in Moldavia, at the head of which were several powerful Boyars. Its object was to remove the great Dignitaries of the Principality, the Presi dent of Justice, the Chief of the Police, and the Metropolitan, who were accused of various arbitrary and illegal acts. The arrest of several of the conspirators here caused some disturb ances, which were immediately repressed. The Second Chamber of the States of Baden adopted on the 9th inst. a proposition for increasing the import duties on Bri tish cotton goods imported into the States of the German Cus toms Union, with a view. to protect national manufactures. The Minister of . Finance had acceded to the proposition, and promised to exert himself with the Prussian Government for its adoption. The Philhellenic Committee of 1819 was about to be revived in Paris under the Presidency of Chateaubriand. It was to embrace all the illustrious of the legitimatist and liberal par ties, Messrs.

'1 he Java journals of the 27th March contain the account of the defeat of the insurgents of Padang by Colonel Michels, according to the accounts from Padang of the 26th February, os the 24th an encounter broke out on the high ground of Padang, which appeared to be of a serious nature, at the head of which was the Regent of Batipo, and they attacked the lines of Geogoe Malintang, as well as the fort of Kock, and the camp of Padang Ribon-Reboe, but they were de feated by Colonel Michels.

It began at Brighton, fell heavily in various parts of Sussex, destroying in one conservatory alone, at Ilenfield, 3,000 panes of glass, the hailstones falling of the size of eggs ; it then crossed the centre of Berkshire, and proceeding in a curvillinear course, went across the eastern part of the island, where the doctor lost sight of it. It appears, according to some recent experiments of Dr. Forster, that the atmospheric electricity is in less abundance than is usual this spring, while an epidemic air prevails. Preparations are makin g at Munich for a grand concert to be given in the Odeon of that town, for the benefit of the poor, by 500 performers, the elde-t of whom will not be more than 15 years old, and among whom will he childen of some of the first families of Munich and the province. Ihe pro.. gramme is not yet made out, but the concert is expected to take place about the end of August. BOURSE—Pmus, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14. first klighest Lowest Last Price nice. Price..

FOREIGN-COLONIAL. —The speech of Lord Palmerston at Tiverton has put our French contemporaries absolutely beside them selves with rage. The Commerce and the National of Wednesday set no bounds to the outpouring of their wrath. The National denounces us as a nation of as sassins, to whom the knife is more familiar than the swotd in the subjugation of our enemies ; and, to in crease the dramatic effect of this charge, adds that the murderers of the Emperor Paul were only successful when they were supplied with an English scarf with which they throttled the unhappy Monarch ! The National does not sufficiently tax the credulity of its reader. Why not boldly charge the English with the crucifixion of the 2,000 Tyrians who refused to surrender their city to Alexander the Great ? Of course, it would give the 11a tional no trouble to prove that the British massalred the Dutch at Amboyna, the Catholics at Bartholomew, the Janissaries at Constantinople, and the Mamelukes in Egypt. The National assumes as a well known fact the hiring of assassins by England to kill Napoleon ; but thanks to the well-tried loyalty of the French nation, which so conspicuously surrounded the Throne of Louis the Sixteenth and his heroic Queen—which clung in hiS fall to the person and child of the Emperor 7 -the villains did not succeed ! But respect for our national dignity will not suffer us to retaliate the coarse and lying:ribaldry of the French Republican press. ,Our greatness, our glory, and our humanity rest on a basis so firm that the world cannot shake it. --- The Christian inhabitants of Candia, now in arms against the tyranny of the Porte, have addressed a me morial to the Christian States of Europe, praying for sympathy and support, and protesting against' the lan guage held out to them by the Consuls of England. France, Russia, Austria, and Greece. This memorial is well written, well reasoned, and well-timed. It will be found in another column. May success attend on the arms of the brave Candiotes ! The late treaty of the Five Powers puts an end to the treaty of Unkiar Skellessi. The Straits of the Bos phorus and the Dardanelles are now closed to ships of war of all nations. The State of Baden is about to increase the import duty on British manufactures. Another blessed effect of our Corn-laws. AT HOME. MISCELLANEOUS. Among the new paintings that have been lately added to the National Gallery is one by Raphael, which has been valued at five thousand guineas. The Echo du Nord states the extraordinary fact that a woman of the Commune of Berlaimont in that de partment, has been " twice delivered of twins within the last eight months and a half !" This is multiplying quite at railway speed, and shows a genius for propaga tion wholly unrivalled ! The Sheffield Patriot states that during a heavy thunder. storm on Thursday week, " hundreds of small fishes descended with the rain. Many of them were picked up alive." Had this been a shower of loaves as well as fishes, of the right sort, the Tories would have been delighted to have been caught in it ! On Sunday last three old ladies were robbed of their watches during Divine service at the chapel in Old Quebec-street by a pious stranger. Barrington, the no torious pickpocket, used to say that there was always a great deal of excellent business to be done, in his line, at churches and chapels during prayer-time ; and this is a case in point. A respectable Catholic of the city of London lately made arrangements for apprenticing his son to a jeweller. The premium was settled, the matter all but completed, when the worthy jeweller discovered the enormity of the young man's religion, and refused to admit him. The Church-rates at Hackney are again the sub ject of high contention. The Church party had brought up many ladies, and much of their strength. Yester day's five o'clock poll gave—for the rate, 53 persons giving 89 votes ; against the rate, 55 persons giving 68 votes. The poll closes at five to-day (Friday). —On Thursday morning about fifty yards of the tunnel at Fareham, on the Gosport Branch Railway, fell in. This accident will, perhaps, postpone the open ing of this branch for two months. The population of Bath has increased since the last census,,in 1831, only about 4 per cent, while other towns of a similar description have increased from 20 to 30 per cent. The tyrannical conduct of the clergy, and the war against theatres and coacerts, have driven away many of the regular visitors. LAW AND POLICE. Stephen Wilson, described as house and land agent, surveyor and valuer, of Wandsworth-road and Abchurch lane, appeared in the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday, when he admitted that he had sworn on a former occa sion that his property was worth 3201. while it was not worth more than 30/. " Which is the true oath ?" said Mr. Cooke.—" The present," replied the insolvent.—The Court remanded him for five months, and expressed a hope that he would be tried for perjury ; that Court would afford every facility to prosecute. ELECTIONEERING. At the Carlow hustings a number of Bruen's tenants drove up in a car, and an attempt was made by the Bruenites to obtain possession of them. Colonel Bruen got up on the table, and attempted to address them, when Mr. J. O'Connell desired Colonel Bruen to stand down—he did stand down. The electors were then asked by the Sheriff's Deputy if they were under any coercion. They replied " no"—and instantly polled for O'Connell and Yates. In Tipperary riots have arisen, and collisions with the police fatal. At Bansha one man was shot dead and nine badly wounded. - - A Reform Registration Association has just been formed at Brighton. This will enable the Association to know within 16 or 17 the votes of the entire constitu ency. A Treasurer and Secretary have been appointed, and above 100 electors given in their names as members. Correspondence has appeared in the Cambridge Chronicle between Lord Cosmo Russell, and Sir A. Grant. Lord Cosmo totally denies the words imputed to him by Sir A. Grant, as to exercising constraint upon a voter, and Sir A. Grant confesses that sheer hearsay was his only authority. The following scene took place at a Church in Cork last Sunday. The Rev. W. Negligan, Curate of the parish, voted at the late election for the Liberals, in ac cordance with his own principles, though in exception to the bigotted majority of his brethren in the Ministry. When Mr. Negligan rose to preach, the whole, or nearly the whole, congregation left the Church uttering cries of " No Popery." Captain Dalrymple, the Liberal, has been returned for the county of Wigtown, in opposition to the most powerful exertions made by the Tory landlords to bring in Mr. Blair. Sir Wm. Maxwell has gained nothing by coercing his tenants, while the party supported by that long-tried and consistent Liberal the Earl of Stair, who . leaves his numerous tenants to. vote as. they like, have acquired a noble victory in a county a1m0.4 purely agri cultural. We have now had returns for all the Counties, Ci ties, and Boroughs of Great Britain, with the exception of the county of Banff, Scotland. PUBLIC OPINION., The Morning Chronicle observes with truth, that as the present elections show that in England the landowners have a preponderating influence in Parliament, well meaning persons can no longer refuse to admit that if Ministers had proposed an alteration in the Corn-laws, they would thereby have handed over the Government of the country to their opponents. This is the best apology for the tardy policy of the Whig Cabinet that has yet been offered. It is not, however, a full and complete one. Knowing that the Corn-laws must eventually be repealed, Ministers should have taken the initiative earlier, and not have permitted themselves to be deterred from an act of justice by the cacklings of the Tory geese. They should have borne in mind that a goose is but a goose after all, notwithstanding the noise it makes. In a leading article suggested by the elections, it is stated by the Times that the Tory party have appealed with success to " the reason of the electoral body." There is here a wilful perversion of the truth. The Tories have appealed, not to the reason, but to the pockets, of a majority of the electors, and we are sorry to say that their appeal has been far too successful. From some leading comments that appear in the Morning Post, it would seem that the Tories are becom ing quite shocked at the " insolent use which the Whig- Radicals are making of her Majesty's name." How long have Tory nerves been so susceptible ? We think we can remember a time—and that not long since—when no abuse was too intemperate to be launched by the Tories against the Queen. Our Contemporary adds, that he " asks no praise " for his new-born delicacy of nerve. This modesty is really very engaging. We direct the particular attention of our readers to .Mr. Sidney Smith's admirable " Letter to Lord Stan ley," which combines the stern, grave invective of Junius with the sparkling wit of Voltaire. The Plymouth Journal asks in discussing the ques tion of the new Parliament, not whether Sir Robert Peel will obtain a working majority, but whether he will rc tain one. What are his chances for this ? The present Ministry have taken up an excellent position for offence ; they have entrenched themselves in Liberal measures : they go out on an appeal to the people, and wait till the people are wiser or stronger than at present. An oppo sition based on such principles cannot be despised. The Tories have the Court against them—a most uncommon incident for this power-worshipping party. Against them is ranging the sound intelligence of the middle classes. Sir Robert, therefore, may go up and lay hold on his coveted prize, but surely wise men will fear to follow him. The Doncaster Gazette, in lamenting - the defeat of Lords Morpeth and Milton at Yorkshire, assilins it in common with the Liberal Press, Ist, to the: inattention paid to our registration; and 2dly, to the strength of the landed and farming interest, which embraces nearly half of the Riding constituency, and which took alarm at the fixed duty proposition. The Derby Reporter exclaims vehemently against the Tory corruption and intimidation used at the late elections; more especially pointing to Derbyshire. The amount 'no doubt is frightful, and it is better to lose than to win by such means. The Pilot asserts, from letters they I--ye seen, that the Tories are as disappointed with the election results as the Liberals. The Tories know that constituted as a Tory Ministry will be—with its discordant principles of a coercive and conceding Government, and with its con flicting interests and followers--it can be nothing but a union of foes, and a popular reaction must take place. The moment this weakness is manifest, another dissolu tion will leave the party at an immeasurable distance from that power which the lc aders have been forced by their subalterns prematurely to grasp. —" It would be idle to deny," says the Wiltshire In dependent, " that the Ministerial measure for modifying the Corn-law—although it would, inevitably, have con ferred an amazing benefit on the great body of the people—has directly and chiefly tended to the return of a House of Commons, a large majority of whose members are strongly opposed to any reduction of those burdens of which the people complain so loudly and with so much reason. The solution of the mystery lies in the fact that the Electors are not the People ; and that the electors, per haps to the amount of one-half of their number, are merely the slaves of those who are now fattening upon that monopoly which condemns the millions to semi starvation. Depend upon it, however, the second Re form Bill, if it blossom not so fully as the first, will nevertheless bear good and substantial fruit. Defeated though we may be by corruption and by intimidation, still we have no cause to despair ; if the people are true to themselves they must be victorious, and that ere many months expire. THEATRICAL. Taglioni took her benefit last night at the Italian Opera, and danced in the new ballet of Matilde. LITERARY. A writer in the Westminster Review has accused Sir J. Wilkinson of borrowing most of the illustrations and letter-press in his " Memoirs and Customs of the Egytians," from Rossellini's splendid work. This Sir J. Wilkinson utterly denies. Madame Laffarge, says the Commerce, is finishing the writing of her memoirs, which will form four octavo volumes. A bookseller has bought the copyright. COUILT--F.ASEIZONAIIIMS. The King of the Belgians took his departure early yesterday morning from Windsor Castle. RUMOURS OF THE D.A.Y. The late success of Conservative principles in Shrop shire will be celebrated by a public festival in Shrews bury, to which it is intended to invite the twelve Shrop shire apostles, and local Committees are now formed throughout the county for making the necessary ar rangements. The honour of the presence of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel will be requested at the meeting, which is intended to be held before the as sembling of Parliament. About half a dozen veteran Tory Judges in Great Britain and Ireland will resign on the accession of Sir Robert Peel, and their places will be filled up with Bar risters of the True Blue and Orange breed. We hope they will not die of joy before the time. It is said that some of the old bishops are going to follow the example, and exhibit to the eyes of the wondering world something still more rare than even a dead donkey—a phenomenon which Boz vows he never , saw. The demand for Whigs is very great, the rise the Tories boast is in proportion to the decline of the Whig Ministry. There is at New York a politician so hot that his muffins toast every morning by his side while he reads the newspaper. A gardener has concluded an en gagement with him to force cucumbers, in the event of his not being returned one of the representatives of the people, a circumstance much looked forward to by poli tical economists, as the Senate House will then require no stoves.

Barometer Thermometer... 62 1 Highest 62 / Lowest 5O Wind S.—Freezing Point 32 Deg. A determined act of suicide was committed dur ing the night of Wednesday last, by a fine youth, named Sa muel Corbett, aged seventeen years, an apprentice to Mr. 'l'. Smith, a tinplate worker in B 1 unh ill-row, St. Luke's. The unfortunate youth had for some time past been accustomed to sleep upon four chairs in the workshop, and his master had been in the habit of locking hiss in when he retired to rest. Upon entering the apartment at about seven o'clock yesterday morning, the master perceived a quantity of blood on the floor, and upon approaching the lad's sleeping place, he was hors ified to find that his head was almost severed from his body, the neckbone and all the veins and arteries having been completely divided. A raz , _ir, with which the dreadful deed was accom plished, was lying by his side steeped in blood. Mr. Leeson, the divisional surgeon of police, who was sent for to examine the body, stated it as his opinion that he had been several hours dead. THE LATE BON'S (RDIER GRICE, R.A.— It is expected that an amateur theatrical performance will take place at Woolwich, for the benefit of the widow of the unfortu nate deceased, who lost his life by a gunshot wound from the piece of gunner Al‘Garrety. The Alsace states that during the first week of the present month, some gamblers of distinction, at Baden- Baden, broke the bank of the rooms there five times running, occasioning a loss to the proprietors of 140,000 francs.
