The Sun. — London, England, 1841-10-08 00:00:00

MORNING SUN rence to the unsettled state of the Ghilzie country, that 1 Auchter Khan, chief of the Zarrien Lawur district, was ' engaged in raising troops. He appears to have laid siege to Ghirisk, and a detachment, under the command of Captain Woodburn, consisting of the Shah's sth Infantry, two Janbaz Corps, and two guns, under Captain Cooper, were despatched from Kandahar, in the direction of the Helmund, for the purpose of dislodging him. On the banks of this river was encamped the army of Auchter Khan, to the number of six: thousand. Captain Wood burn arrived on the 3d of July, and took up greater part of the day. About six o'clock the enemy crossed the river, and gave battle. Their assault was in earnest, for the " Jan Bazers" to the right, against whom it was directed, gave way, and they penetrated to the rear and baggage. The guns had been brought round, and a brisk fire was opened upon them. One or two rounds was sufficient; the grape told murderously, and they were compelled to retire, leaving many of their number dead upon the field. The Ghilzies did not renew the attack, but kept up • an irregular fire till near midnight, by which time they had all dispersed. A Correspondent of the Del: Gazette says—" This was the sharpest affair that has yet occurred, the enemy had six divisions, 0:1,000 each division, headed by a chief and Moolahs, and the fact of their having crossed the river to meet and attack us, shows how confident of success they must have been. They have lost soul?, 500 killed and wounded ; Auchter Khan himself is reported among the latter, and his son among the former. Our loss is about fifty killed and wounded." Lieutenant Patterson was wounded in this affair, but is now doing well. Troops having b.-ea ordered up to Kandahar with every despatch, it was apprehended that an insurrection in that neighbourhood was about to take place. By the latest accounts, however, all appeared quiet. A campaign at Nizrew is in prospect, and prepara tions are understood to be now making for the despatch of the force to be ernplcycd in this service. HER,AT. There is no intelligence of importance from Herat, but some. we think. there speedily must be. for the perfidy of this insolent Government cannot surely be suffered to go on much longer unpunished. Ten; PUNJA.CB.-With regard to the Punjaub also, the information we have to O'er consist; principally of report and conjecture. It is rumoured that the Sikh army have returned to their allegiance, that the widow of Non Nehal Sing has had a miscarriage, and given birth to a son still-born; that an attempt has been made to murder Mr. Clerk, the political agent ; that Share Sing will be acknowledged by the British Government as the lawful heir of the throne of the Punjaub ; that the provinces of Kashrnere, Moulton, and the protected Sikh States to the southward of the Sutledge, are to be made, over to our Government ; but we have received no positive in telligence as to any of these points. It is also stated that the Sikhs have made an inroad into Thibet, and de feated some Chinese troops near Gertoke ; and that the inhabitants of Lassa, in Thibet, have seized the oppor tunity offered by the hostilities between China and Great Britain, to arise and assert their independence. SUINDE. The intelligence from Scinde is important. Mr. Ross Bell, the political agent, to whose alleged mismanage ment of affairs almost all the evils which have attended the sojourn of our troop in this unhappy land have been attributed, expired on the Ist ultimo, at Quettah, of bilious fever. He had sent in his sick certificate, and was about to be succeeded, as is well-known, by Major Outram. Nusseer Khan, it is believed, has at length " come in." The accounts say that he is on his way to Quettab. sick, accompanied-by an European medical man, whose assistance he had applied for. With regard to the health of our troops a general im provement to some extent has taken place. Rain has fallen in most, places, and the comparative coolness thus produced has had the effect of abating considerably the sickness which prevailed. I have, however, to record the deaths at Quettah of Brevet-Captain W. Jones, of the 20th Native Infantry ; Lieutenant Valiant, of her Ma jesty's 40th regiment ; and Captain Lewis, of the 22d N. 1., and at Kotria, of Ensign Hunt, of the 2d Gre nadiers, which four officers have fallen victims to the mi serable climate of the countries beyond the Indus. PENANG. TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF TIII; CONVICTS WITO COM IIITTED THE OUTRAGE ON BOARD THE FREAK.—The trial of the eleven ringleaders in this dreadful affair took place at Penang on the 7th of June. They were all found guilty, and sentenced to death ; but the punish ment of three of them, against whom the evidence was less conclusive, was commuted to transportation for life. On the 12th the condemned prisoners wer3 executed. During the interval between their trial and execution, their behaviour was marked by the most violent and gross abuse. TRIAL OF CAPTAIN BATTA, OF THE "LA FELICE."- I mentioned in my last that a mutiny had occurred on board this barque on her passage to Ceylon with Malayan recruits, and that she had in consequence put back to ' Penang. On her arrival, the discovery was made that the captain, after subduing the mutineers, had treated them in a very cruel manner, pinioning and lashing them so tightly that their flesh was horribly lacerated, and mortifi cation ensued. At the time of the trial,ten of the number had died, and out of the remaining ten it was thought but two could survive, and those only by amputation of both their arms. Captain Batts was tried for the manslaughter of these unfortunate wretches, and being found guilty, was sentenced to pay a fine of 500 rupees. This lenient award was owing to the previous circumstances of the case, the men having been mutineers, and having at tempted his life ; and also to the consideration that he was ignorant of the effect which such severe ligatures were calculated to produce. BOMBAY. The Overland Mail arrived hero on the sth instant, having occupied little more than thirty days from Lon don, the quickest transit on record. The tows of the general election excited a high degree of interest, and further intelligence is anxiously looked forward to. The Monsoon has progress ?d favourably in almost every part of tho presicienCY. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN PRODUCE. Corrom.—ln a few days after the date of our last price current, prices gave way from 3rs. to Ors. per candy, at which reduction extensive purchases were made for Great Britain, and aboat:l2,ooo bales were likewise taken for China.. Notwithstanding the continued unfavourable accounts received from both countries, no change of any moment occurred np to the beginning of the past week, when, in consequence of several large buyers coming into the market, prices advanced from the lowest point 3rs. to srs. per candy, and our presont quotations will, therefore, be nearly similar to those of oar last price current. The monsoon has been particularly favourable for Cotton cultivation, and a large crop is anticipated. OPIUM. —The market has been brisk throughout the month, and within the last fortnight prices have been on the advance. On this drug the recent advices from China have had very little effect, as its disposal there does not appear to depend on the resumption of trade. The annexed returns give a statement of the stock in the place : Balance of former year's importation chests 6,667 Imported from the 25th of May,lB4o, to the 10th of August, 1841 19,5591 26,2261 Deduct experts from 25th:thy, 1344, to the 17th August, 1841 pired, although it is supposed, perhaps with good reason, that they contain a ('errand for a further instalment of the tri bute. Be this as it may, the Pacha yesterday negotiated a loan against his produce for 250,0,00 dollars, and the Nile leaves again to-morrow with bills to this amount on ac count d the tribute. On her next return, it is said the Nile will positively bring Seid Pacha and his suite here. The Egyptian news is rather uninteresting. There are vague reports of robberies having been committed in the Sues desert, and of about BCO irregular cavalry having been sent there against the Bedouins, but I have not been able to ascertain the truth of these rumours. Mr. \Valne, the English Consul at Cairo, has been told that it will be necessary to provide a guard for the transit of the India mails. Address of her Britannic's Majesty's Consul- General, I Colonel Barrett, to his Highness Mehemet Ali, Paella of Egypt ' Highness—Sent by her Britannic Majesty to Egypt lusher Consul-General, to protect the British residents in your country, and watch over their interests, I have pleasure in believing that on every occasion I shall find his Highness ready to listen to their well-grounded com plaints, and to do them justice. His Highness must be convinced, that it is as much the desire as it is the interest of Great Britain to see Egypt peaceable and flourish ing; that the important commercial relations which have ex isted for so long a time between the two countries be confi rmed on a fair and equitable basis, without exclusive favours being . granted to any one, but that each may carry on his coin • mercial pursuits in strict conformity with the laws of the em pire, and the treaties eiiiitieg between the Sublime Porte and the Government of her Britannic Majesty." The Pacha.'s reply : " Sir—lt has ever been the object of my particular care and attention to guarantee the person; resident in Egypt, and their interests, as well as those travelling through the country, from all harm. I have at least the satisfaction of observing that public opinion does me justice in this respect, and I shall riot cease in my efforts to preserve it. The continuance of the good understanding established between Great Britain and the Sublime Porte, will be, as far as I am concerned, the object of my solicitude. I observe the advantages of liberty of commerce, consecrated by existing treaties. I cannot but admit that the numerous testimonials, attesting the good thrived, are to me sufficient evidence. Im perious circumstances alone have forced me to establish and main tain monepolies. 1 could prove the necessity which has forced me to adopt such a system, but this is neither the time nor place to enter into details on the subject. I shall confine myse'f to observing that the system under which a country has for a long time been governed cannot be hastily changed, without causing that ceuntry to experience the most alarming shock ; and you will agree with me, I trust, that in such case one must act cautiously, in order that, by progressive manage ment, such a change may be effected. My only desire, my lonly thought at present, is to provide for the amelioration of the internal government of Fgypt, and I am convinced that the result (not far distant) of my efforts will cause my acts to be fully approved." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 14. (From the Manzari Shark.) Resehid Pacha, who it was thought would have repaired to Paris by way of Malta and Marseilles, is to start on Monday next, via the Danube. His Excellency will be accompanied by two of his sous, as also by Nedim Effendi, Secretary of Embassy, and Bahir Effendi, second Secretary, and a few servants. The Nile steamer left this port on the 10th for Alexandria, and on her return from thence Said Pacha and Semi Pacha will embark on board her, and :ake their departure for Egpt. It is said that the object of her present trip in that direction is to bring a considerable sum of money, which Mehemet Ali Pacha is desirous of paying to thy Pert° previous to the with drawal of his son from Constantinople. M. Cataeasi, Russian Minister at the Court of Athens, be sides paying visits to the Ministers, had on Sunday lest the honour of an audience of the Sultan, who received him with distinction. Last week, he and his friends went through the mosques palaces, &c. On Sunday evening M. Titoff, the Russian Charge d'Affaires, gave a soiree utusicule in honour cf Catacasi. 19,6294 Stock, Chests 6,597 COFTEE.—We have hesrd of the following trans actions :- 475 bags Mocha aßs 11 6 0 per maund. 500 ...

Ile was in vi.ed 'o the Imperial Palace, and had an audience of the Sta tor, who showed his Excellency narked kindness. After the vealamlik ( Friday's visit of the Sultan to the Mosque, in state), Tahir Facha repaired to the Sublime Porte and had a long ia terview with the Grand Vizier. We subsequently had many reports concerning changes of the Ministry, but they were merely the revival of all stories, "twice told tales." Lady Ponsonby has been seriously indisposed, and having been thrice bled, she is still weak, though fast recovering. This retains Lord Ponsonby here, or he might already have left Constantinople. MALTA, SEPT. 28. SHIPS ix PORT.—Powerful, 84 (bearing the flag of Rear- Admiral Sir J. Ommanney, (K.C.8.) Ceylon, 64(bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart.), Hastings, 72, Tyne, 26, steam-frigates, Gorgon, Vesuvius, and Stromboli, steam-packets Polyphemus and Alecto, and French steam packets Minos, Mentor, and Leonidas. Her Majesty's ships of the lice Howe, Vanguard, and Indus, which it was currently reported were to sail on the evening' Saturday last for Syracuse, to water, and return here forth with, without proceeding elsewhere, received unexpectedly, at about half-past eleven oit Friday night, directions from Rear- Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney to put to sea early on Sa turday morning, which they did under sealed orders. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FILOI4 THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—That a Government should take upon itself the responsibility of advising the Sovereign to disregard the prayers of the people, is bold and bad enough ; but we can find no terms in which to characterise the audacity and iniquity of a Ministry that should go so far in frustrating the petitions of the people as to venture on intercepting them. Fortunately for the present Cabinet, this point of defiance to the wishes of the nation has not yet been completely reached, though the indiscretion, or " something; more," of one of its Members has, in a recent instance, almost compro mised the Government to an extent which the bet ter judgment of a few at least among his col leagues must, we think, tremble to contemplate. It appears from what passed last night in the House of Commons, that an address from Tamworth, bearing 2,000 signatures, had been regularly forwarded to the .Home-otlice for presentation to the Queen ; when Sir James Graham—who interprets a principal article in the Bill of Rights in a manner that we hope is pecu liarly his own—thinks proper to deviate from his duty of laying the petition before his Royal Mistress, while he sends it back to the place from whence it came—but not to the parties who sent it—for the purpose of making it the subject of an avowedly hostile scrutiny. The . petition of the Tamworth Liberals was sent,. in ' act, to the Tory mayor of the Premier's own ooroug h, for the purpose of hating as many heir . . as possi b le picked in it ; and by Sir James , Graham's own avowal it must be inferred, that, had it been possi ble to have found sufficient Pr ete ..'-t for the act, the pe tition would have been ':together suppressed ; but as inquiry only confirme..f its authenticity, there was no al ternative but to " - my it before her Majesty." Even as it is, the officirAis and, in our opinion, most unconstitu tional interference of Sir James Graham kept back the ' address until too late for the granting of its prayer; and, however its statements or entreaties might have influ enced the Queen, still, having been retarded until the arrangements were complete fur the prorogation of Par liament, the impression on the Royal mind could not have been made in time to beneficially operate. COURIER.—That the state of the country has been misrepresented, and the amount and intensity of the dis tress that prevails gtossly exaggerated, are facts no longer capable of being denied, after what has lately occurred in both Houses of Parliament. But even supposing that all the statements on the subject that have been recently made were literally true, that neither th e di sa p po i ntment o f a prostrate faction, nor the blind recklessness of party-spirit had in any one particular amplified the amount, or over coloured the picture—that the country was in the dis mally decayed and decaying condition she has been re presented, still the question would remain to be solved— could legislation afford immediate relief ? Could pro longed, - profitless discussions in either House of Parlia ment alleviate or mitigate the evils complained of ? We unhesitatingly answer, no—and we think the opposite supposition could be seriously entertained by none save the veriest dupes of party prejudice. Well and truly did the Duke of Wellington, with that homely wisdom so characteristic of the noble simplicity of his nature, ob serve, that the evils were the results of a variety of causes, which Parliament could not remove, if it sat continu ously from that time till February next. There are limits to the powers of Parliament, omnipotent though it e , ue ; it cannot sever the connection between cause and effect, between antecedent and consequence ; it can neither suspend_ nor modify the rule of causation ; neither can it by any stretch or exercise of its law-mak ing prerogative prevent the evils resulting from over trading and ruinous spevulation. Do what it will—sit as long and as uninterruptedly as it will—debate, enact as rapidly, as precipitately as it will—still it cannot remedy the evils of wrong doing by any considerable portion of the community. STANDARD.—The proceedings in the House of Commons last night will afford amusement. The modest application of Lord Geo. Paget to the House to commit a flagrant violation of the law, was not certainly the least diverting incidents It man in question, hay eminent parlifelnentar "n ' " acting. appears that the . Noble man presented a petition against the return for Cart Ile into in Middlese 3 t. ' under the advice of an of Cardigan." (We quote agent had the recognizances en teredoz .ag r i l strate for the County r e u e p r o e r t e o d f by coursethe i nyal Morning i d , C a ts n t ie h le. es The recogniatinces ) p a etition fell to the ground. Every one knows tha e t i to be a Magistrate when he passes beyond the limits of _ Magistrate. ceases his own jurisdiction, and that all his assumed terial acts under su c h c i rcumstances are a nullitrg.- llsn. taking recognizances, it i s part of the Magistrates duty to shear the proffered security as to his ability •, but if the person acting es M ag i strate i s not one —and out of bis jurisdiction, we repeat it, he is not—the proffered security may swear what he pleases, perfectly free from all legal penalties. So much for the law which Lord George Paget would dispense with. But is there not something curious in the ad vice of the eminent parliamentary agent to select Ia Cardiganshire Magistrate, a rare animal, we sus pect, in the metropolis, and one which, we presume, was discovered by an advertisement in the Times— " Wanted, a gentleman in the commission of the 1 peace for the county of Cardigan." The election was held in Carnarronshire, not in Cardigan —the recognizances were executed in Middlesex, where th ere are some hundreds of paid and unpaid Magistrates. Why, then, did " the eminent Parliamentary agent" send to Cardigan Y He might as well have sent to Cornwall, or Cumberland, or to Galway, or Caithness—the magis trates of any of these places would have been as suffi ciently disqualified as the Cardigan gentleman. The monstrous application in Lord George's behalf was, of course, refused, but we think that the affair deserves further consideration—it is by no means clear that all in the transaction was bona fides.

The first batch of Syrians, amounting to about 1,700 men, arrived here on the 7th instant, and on the morning of the Bth two Egyptian frigates were towed out of harbour by the Haggee Baba, with - about 1,100 of them on board, bound for ),evrout, all, as Islay be supposed, in the highest spirits, at the prospect of Bice more returning to their native country. The remainder are still here, but will also proceed to Syria se soon as vessels now under preparation can be got ready for their transport. The Rodney is still here, anchored oft the Palace, and the Calcutta. which arrived on the 9th, is cruis ing in the offing. Our Syrian news is up to the 9th instant , when everything is again represented as being perfectly quiet in the mountains. The reduction the tribute to 3,500 purses, or 17,5001. ster ling, together with the mode of levying this amount, had tended wonderfally to produce this state of affairs. The pro portion to be paid by each district is left entirely to be regu lated by the native councils. The only arrival at Bey rout had bees the,lnconstant frigate from this port.

COL. NAPIER ON THE CORN- LAWS. The celebrated Colonel Napier, the author of the admirable " History of the Peninsular { Wars," has published a pamphlet in favour of the Corn-laws, which it is our duty, in deference to his commanding abilities, and the services he has rendered to the cause of liberty, to subject to a strict examination. We give him the credit of being sincere. He has a living belief in the validity of the objections he states to the aboli tion of the Corn-laws; while the multitude of writers in the daily journals have no such belief. They put forth doctrines for an express party purpose without believing, even if they compre hend, them. To every sincere opponent we shall pay a proper deference, but the advocates of a bad cause for pay are unworthy of attention. Colonel Napier's pamphlet is addressed to Lord Ashley, " because his persevering efforts to protect the factory children, give him a just title to the respect of all persons who acknowledge the value of justice and benevolence in national policy." We quote the paragraph as a clue to the Colonel's reasoning. He writes "justice and benevolence ;" but though he writes the benevo lence last, it has the foremost place in his esteem. Whatever benevolence there may be in limiting the hours of infant labour, we cannot comprehend the justice of a Ten Hours' Bill which sanctions by law workin g infants, who, in justice, ought not to work at all, ten hours a day. Nei ther can we comprehend the justice or the bene volence of refusin g food by law to the very in fants whom Lord Ashley sanctions exposing to ten hours' toil a day by law. But Colonel Napier is not singular in being caught by noisy show, though we had given him credit for a more military eye than to be caught by a showy parade. Quite akin to this love of Lord Ashley's benevolence, and this slighting. the claims of justice, are Col. Napier's observations on the manufacturing labourers. They are worthy of an Indian hunter panting for his free woods, or a soldier thinking only of man as food for powder. The Colonel says— price from the latter cause, labour will fall in price also, because the comma measure ofprice in this case is raised or lergthened, and all the things it measures are lowered or shortened. But if corn fall in price from beco...:ng more abundant, from a greater quantity being in the community, and to be distributed amongst the members, it is erroneous to say that labour will fall in price as corn fallm. A NEW PROCESS YOit PultiF ItiNG WATER. Professor Clark, of Aberdeen, performed numerous experiments on INlonday, in the laboratory of the Lon don University, for the purpose of showing the ease and faclty with which the large proportion of feculent and other matters contained in the eaters of the metropolis could be separated and deposited. The following are the results :—Chalk, it appears, is to he found in the atera supplied by the several Companies to the inhabi tants of London in the proportion of 14 ounces of carbo nic acid to every single pound of chalk. For exampie, a pound of chalk dissolved in 500 gallons of water by 7 ounces of carbonic acid would form a solution not sensibly different, in ordinary use, from! the filtered water of the Theme: in the average state of that river. It appeared, also, that one hundrei gaons of London water required 32 ounces of the best curd soap to form a lather of such consistency as to remain five minutes on the surface. Whereas the same cpranfty of water purified by the process of Professor Clark re quires not quite 11 ounces. There were also minor facts stated, which go to show that the respective quantities o f sa w realty consumed by the waters of London and the purified water were as 27 to 9. The amount of conaureption of soap in the metropolis, as stated by Mr. %V. Hawes, is -12,000 tons, at 501 6OO 0001. Soda, 3,000 tons at 13/. 16s. 8d... 49,0001. £640,000 The Parliamentary returns made in 1834 show that the gross amount of water-rent paid to the Metro politan Companies was about 270,0001., and, if we allow for the increase which it is a leged has ttken rl4ce in the consumption, the Professor iofers that the value of soap and soda used is double the gross amount of water-ernt. " Hence, if there be a saving of only 10 per cent. on the value of the soap and soda consumed, it wou:d correspond to a saving of 20 per cent. on the gross water-rent." It price irs also that very considerable amount in the wear and tear of chthes washed in the purified water may be saved—" the fur" or deposit in the boiling of water prevented—a certain proportion of tea saved in every family, since tea, it is well known, will net draw with hard water—the in crustations in the bottoms of steam-boilrs prevented— insects destroyed—vogeta•ion in summer prevented, and colouring and other matter separated and precipi tated. Now, when it is stated that the supply of water to the metropolis is not less than 40,000,000 galons p,r d:ern, and the weight of chalk contained in this large quantity is not less than 24 tons a-day, or 8,000 tens per annum, some idea may be formed of a neces sity for introducing a mode 01 filtration, or a chymical agency, which will remove so much cxtraneeua, and, in fact, deleterious mater, from the first necessary cf life. " Is it a natlOUal benefit to have hardy ploughmen turned into squalid weavers, crowded together in misery and immorality, begetting beings still more i miserable and squalid than th emse l ves , t o ili ng nces- I sandy in heat, and dust, and gloom, without a glimpse of green fields or clear running waters to cheer their sight, the burring of machinery to stun their brains in stead of the notes of birds to greet their ears ; the harsh commands and spying watchfulness of avaricious mas ters and overseers ever present to them, instead of the gracious presence of nature, with her gentle beauties and delights, such as God has presented them for the enjoy ment of man, to cheer and sustain his faculties ; their only pleasures those of debauchery, of sensuality, gross and debilitating, because for no others have they time granted them, and some solace the human ani mal must have. If you deny it to his reason, he will obtain it by his passions, and in the un happy weaver's case these passions will be influenced, even to insanity, by the corruption , and sourness of the natural juices, from unwholesome occupations and discontent. Can such men ever have the physical power to defend their country, and with their de moralised habits can they talee any patriotic interest in its welfare? Can those who only know their country as a pri son be warmed by the sacred tire of patriotism? Can they who never see or feel the ordinary delights and beauties of nature, those silent but most efficacious consolations of miserable minds, can they have any natural enthusiasm ? It is indeed one of the crotchets of the political econo mists to disregard all human sufferings in the transition from one state of society to another, provided it can bit . shown by a rigorous course of reasoning from data as-- !mined by themselves, that the country will finally benefit by the change. If the wretched agricultural labourers are only absorbed, as they call it, at last all will be right —the riches of the country will be augmented—that is their only test of natural happiness." Wretched as are all these people, they are surely not made happier, stronger; or more healthy by a tax on their food, and by such an artificial value being given by a Corn-law to every foot of soil, that they must never hope even to enjoy or own a garden-plot. The Colonel is undoubtedly eloquent, but surely the Corn laws contribute to stifle patriotism by hunger, to make the country a prison, to subject men to avaricious masters, and to weaken the existing and all future generations, and to produce all I the evils the Colonel eloquently describes. He is caught by a vision. All the manufacturers are not weavers, and the smiths, bricklayers, masons, carpenters, millwrights, miners, colliers, ma chine-makers, &c., who constitute a large pro portion of the manufacturing population, arc in all respects, we will venture to assert even in physical power to defend the country, superior to agricultural labourers. In truth this is elo quent but idle talk, for the manufacturing la bourers, with their great skill and powerful ma chines, would be found, we apprehend, a match fbr the best organized army, were they put to the test. The two passages we have quoted ara specimens of erroneous feeling in the Gallant Officer, who allows the conventional and now antiquated prejudices of the hunter and the agri culturist to overmaster observation, and there upon condemn the most modern, and there fore the most civilized, condition o f soc i ety. We pity the ignorance or the 'prejudice of the man who can see nothincs - in our manufacturing system but hand-I:00m" weaver*, and factory children. We . now pass, however, from Colonel .: i ner's feeling to his reasoning. He begins with this assumption : In the present state of the public burthens the cry of " Cheap bread for the working man" is a delusion. rho price of labour will sink with the price of corn. Is this true ? We will inquire. The Colonel adds, and we quote the whole passage in order do him no injustice : The political economists who clamour for the aboli tion of the Corn-law, feel the force of this argument, and strive to evade it in the vagueness of a general maxim, namely, that the value of labour will be go verned by demand and supply. This maxim is, how ever, subject to disturbing influences, and in many cases prices govern demand and supply, for men sell not without profit, nor buy without means ; and with respect to labour, the relations of demand and supply cannot, in a country so thickly populated as England, vary much generally, although special causes, such as harvest time, may produce partial influxes and refluxes of labour. Some standard more obvious and immediate for the many is therefore - required to determine the value of labour, and that standard has always been the price of provisions, of which corn is the chief regulator. It must be so ; fur what farmers, unless driven thereto by some special pressure, would pay as much for labour when corn was five shillings the bushels as when it was fifteen shillings ? But it is in the nature of things that the labourer should strive to get as much as possible for his labour, and the employer give as little as possible; and in a po pulous country the labourer will always be beaten in this struggle. He will be reduced to the lowest scale of re muneration:- Ist. Because the employer, being richer, can hold o u t longest; and this is so certain that it will almost always be found that poor men pay higher for labour than ca pitalists do. 2d. Because the employers have a general interest in avoiding competition with each other, greater than the particular interest of the moment arising from want of labour. 3d. Because the labourer who holds out has only a choice between work and starvation, or the poor-house with its degradation and cruelty, 4th. 13ersauso his fellow-labourers have an- immediate interest in getting some wages, more pressing, because it is to avoid, starvation or the workhouse, than their ge neral interests as members of the labouring community. Indeed, this inevitable pressure upon the labourer is heavy enough to crush him altogether (it does so when. the supply of labour is greater than the demand), if a countercheck arising from the necessity of k ee pi ng hi m alive to do his work, did not interfere. Moreover man, although an intelligent being, has so much of the brute animal in his nature that he will seize what he wants if driven to desperation. Fear, therefore, as well as interest, makes the employer set bounds to his cupidity ; he does not compare the propor tions of demand to supply, but he feels the necessity of yielding. sufficient sustenance to the labourer whose despairihe dreads, and upon whose strength to work he is himself dependent for all he enjoys. This is the natu ral law, and its operation must be determined by the price ricev olf ( o .s o s d ; yet the even c onstan t t h i n s ec la e w is ssit)rt for military m st i r l o it n a g as a ry av- inter ference to protect employers in manufacturing districts. We inquire, first, will the price of labour sink with the price of corn? The Colonel's as sceurntli s o t n a Il is e e unlimited is a . b s y g • e e i n t e h l e .a r l t a i s m i e t , c place, omr made.r- As a general assertion, then, we first deal with it. Labour and corn, then, are two of the things which are mutually exchanged. One, therefore, is the measure or price of the other; labour, as Adam Smith says, is the first purchase-money with which all price was paid. It is so at all times. Men give so much labour to the soil, and that pays for a certain definite quantity of corn which the soil produces. So far, then, as corn and labour are exclias . ged for each other— and that exchange is probably as vast as any ex change which is made—as the price of labour sinks, the price of labour rises, and as the price of corn sinks, the price of labour rises; or, i o propor tion to the labour man employs in growing corn, as that is abundant or scarce, so do the wages, or price of labour, rise or fall. The very reverse, therefore, of Colonel Napier's statement is the truth. In dealing even with a friend on such an important subject, we must speak out, and we are, therefore, bound to say, that Colonel Na pier's proposition, unlimited as to time and space, is a palpable absurdity. But there are two- measures of price, labour— the universal purr!loa7r., nr,(l wisatis'called , I sense' issy. se: ssy ii(t p b; a 1 eS 3 quantity of labour, a n d so fall h i pr i ce . It may become more abundant. It may fall in price from the currency being curtailed. If it fall in THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1841.

It: gives us greet p!easure to turn a lit:le from the jarring of politics to note the progress of sole 're in our own localities. Hiving seen several accounts from time to time of, the pate :t water mil!, invented by Mr. Whitelaw, of Glosgow, we had the curiosity a few days ago; of visitZvag the Culereuch Cotton Works, Stirling shire • where one of the patent water m a c hi nes h as re cently' . been erected. The Culereuch Works are six Stories in jacight, nearly 200 feet long, and 38 feet wide they contain above 20,000 mule spindles -- , several hundred throstle spindles—w:th other machinery requisite for such works. Hitherto, and for many years, the works were props lied by two huge water wheels, upwards of thirty. feet each in diameter, one five feet in breadth, the other twelve feet in breadth. These wheels made about faqir revo!utiens per minute; they were supposed equal to about sixty-horse-power, and were fitted up at an expense perhaps of not less than 2,0001.; whereas the patent machine now in their place is only about nine feet in diameter, yet it is equal to ninety-five horse power, and gives sixty revolutions per minute, and the entire expense of fitting it up is only about 600/.1 On looking at it revolving at the bottom of the pit in which the supply of water enters, the first impulse is that of astonishment, that such a machine, in the small com pass comparatively in which it is placed, possesses such gigantic aad unerring power. The machine itself re sembles a large.bodied (CA snake, coiled up and making its angry circumlocutory gyrations in a boiling surf, yet it is attended with the most complete safety to the vast work which it wields, and the persons of those con nected with it. We are convinced that this is one of the most re markable improvements ever made in the application of water as a moving power. It has astonished the natives of Culcreueh. It may well astonish scientific men. Per haps we may he pardoned for giving the following anec dote about it. The proprietors at Culcreuch arc, it seems teetotallers. When the machine was first erected, the workers at the mill, in obedience to the wishes of the manager, resolved to christen it by the name of a certain fair lady in the neighbourhood; but the allowance of a bottleofwhiskey being withheld for that purpose, an Irish girl at the work bad the wit and the courage to say 4 " Well, since they won't give us the whisky, we shan't take the name of the lady, but we will call it Father Mathew—the great apostle of temperance and water drinking ;" and by the name of Father Mathew this wonderful machine at Culereuch now goes. Success io it I—Scotch Reformer's Gazette. THE FA L LS OF NIAGARA. You must descend to the very edge of the trembling rocky brink of the cauldron on the British side, imme diately under the stairs, and 60 or 70 feet below the narrow platform of the rock on which you have stood when you have reached the last of these stairs. This is not to be effected without some trouble, risk, and fatigue ; but it repays all your exertion, for when you have reached the edge, close to the Rainbow or Split Rock, }ou are, as it were, at once in a new world— chaos seems there to have never been disturbed by the regularity of nature, hut reigns solemn and supreme. Place your back against the projecting, blackened, and slime-covered rocks, and look towards the mighty mass of vapour and water before you, around you, beneath you, and above you, Hearing, sight, feeling, becomes as it were blended and confounded. You are sensible that you exist, perhaps, but in what state of existence has, for a few minutes, vanished from your imagination. The rocks vibrate under your feet; the mie-white boiling aod mountain surge advances, swells up, subsides, recoils, lashes, and mingles with the thick vapour. An indescribable and terrific, dull, yet deafening sound, shakes the air ; your nerves feel the concussion, and the words of surprise which at length escape from your lips are inaudible oven to yourself, so aft fully stern is the uproar of the contend ing air and water in their conflict for mastery. The ideas which first struck me when I had recovered from this stupor of astonishment, were those of being swept away by the foaming mountains, bubbling, seething in the huge cauldron at my feet ; of being on the point of losing the sense of hearing, for my temerity in venturing to pry so nearly into the unattainah:e mysteries of nature ; and of instant annihilation from the mass 'of overbariging black and beetling rock above my head, at an absolute height of nearly 200 feet. la fact, I experienced the some sensations so le .utifully de scribed by Stakspeare in Lear, but from a reverse cause ; so true is it ti4t extremes meat, I became giddy and confottoded by looking at and up to the dizzy scene, instead of ,glancing from the eye down towards an un fathomable abyss of air and water below, There are few visitor A who venture to the " imminent deadly breach" of the edge of the cauldron, and of the Split Rainbow Rock. These form a huge mats, buried cables.deep in the: gulf, fallen headlong from above, teat by: tEte fall 'in twain nearly to its base, wedged into the lip of the cauldron, and towering '2O or 30 feet above the mountain surge. How it became so transfixed baffles conjecture, for it was evidently hurled from the table-rock above. This Rainbow Rock, as it is called, or Iris's Throne, from the extremity of the aro appearing to rest upon it whoa you view the great fall from tbe rocky table above, cannot now be approached so easily, The ladder by which, at much personal hazard, its flat and slippery surface was gained, has been swept away by the raging flood ; and it is, per haps, fortunate that it is so, for the experiment of gaining and standing on the surface was attended with great risk. I saw one person, whilst I was sketching the scene, actually lying down at full length upon the edge of. it, with his head projected over, to look into the very cauldron. I .shuddered at the bardi hoad displayed, for a false movement would be inevitable and instant destruction on that slippery pl itform. When he descended the ladder I told him what I bad felt, ~nd he was fully aware of his danger, but fraH, that from his childhnod he had been a ranger in the Alps. To add to the difficulties of your situation on the edge of the cauldron the descending and ascending spray is so great that you are wet through very soon ; whilst the clouds of arrowy sleet driving in your eyes render sketching not very pleasant ; whilst, to add ta your stock of ideas you behold a truly Freischutz display, (or, crawling at your feet, amidst a mass of ground and splintered timber, bones, and shivered r,,ek, are the loathsome and large block toad, the hideously-Lie formed black lizard, eel s o f a mos t equivocal appecrance, and even that prototype of the eel, the fierce black water serpent.—Bonnyeasik's Caaadas.

(Before Mr. Commissioner REYNOLDS.) IN THE MATTER OF JOHN COLLINGS. The insolvent, who had been manager of the Garrick Theatre, and lately performing at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, applied to be discharged under the Act. He stated that he had been engaged with Mr. Hammond, at the Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane ; but when that gentle man's bankruptcy took place., his engagement termi nated, and he was consequently a looser by it to some extent. His brother-in-law, Mr. Elkin, having advanced him money, be gave him as security an assignment of certain reversionary interests, of which he was pos sessed, and also a the arical wardrobe. Mr. V. ELKIN said the insolvent became the manager of the Garrick theatre, and witness acted as Treasurer. He had lent the insolvent about 600/, for which he re ceived the assignment of the reversionary interest; and subsequently the salaries of the 'performers at the Gar rick Theatre being considerably in arrear, they refused to perform. The house was quite full at the time, it being about seven o'clock in the evening, and he knowing the consequences which would result, advanced the money, when the performance was proceeded with. It was in security for the last loan that Mr. Collings handed over the wardrobe to him. The LEARNED COMMISSIONER said he could see nothing in the case that could in the slightest degree lead to an inference of fraud or collusion, and he there fore thought the insolvent entitled to his discharge. IN RE CHARLES NIERS. The insolvent, who likewise belonged to the theatri cal profession, appeared on his petition to be discharged. He said rather feelingly that there were other and younger aspirants rising in the profession, and that all his struggles had at length terminated in the present petition. The LEARNED COMMISSIONER ordered him to be dis charged forthwith. POLICE INTEI,LitiENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. THE CASE OF TEE CLoTHES DEALERS IN CUTLER STREET.—Yesterday the cases relating to the transaction of the old clothes business in Cutler-street, by the Jews, came on for adjudication. It will be recollected that the question had been postponed at the request of Mr. Wire, who appeared as the advocate of the old clothes dealers, in order that he might present a petition, signed by the inhabitants, to the Commissioners of Sewers, by whose directions two dealers were taken into custody on the 26th of August, under an Act passed in the 4th year of the reign of George the Fourth, for having caused ob structions and prevented the tree passage of the footway of that street. Levy and Josephs, the defendants, appeared to answer the charge. Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor for the Commis sioners, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Wire attended f o r the defendants, and pleaded very energetically for them through the whole of the details. The cases came on separately. IlichardNl'raineh stated that he appeared against Levy for having obstructed the public highway by selling clothes on the day stated above in Cutler-street.
