Some of our Irish Contemporaries, and even some of our metropolitan brethren, are unex pectedly indignant at the appointment of a Mr. BREWSTER, a red-hot Orangeman, according to their representations, to be legal adviser to the Irish Secretary; and the filling up of the office of Mr. CAHILL, Crown Solicitor for Tip perary, whose state of health had compelled him to try the climate of Lisbon, with a Tory. They advert, also, with severity to Chief Justice }RIME having retained his place, after he had ceased adequately to perform its duties, in order to bequeath it to none but a Tory successor. These writers must have been betrayed by their own hopes, if they expected anything different, for all those acts are consistent . with Tory prin ciples, and worthy of Tory praise. Our Contemporaries ought to remember that the Government of this country is wholly con stituted and appointed for the l'enefit of a party, and for party purposes. It is intended to main tain, in dominion and splendour, an exclusive, irreligious, and anti-Christian Church; to pre serve in opulence and power—and this has been av owed both by Lord GREY and Sir 8.. PEEL--- the landed aristocracy ; to exalt and: enrich 0- or two classes, and to impoverish all th wt d in th e an rest ; and i t has been almost uniformly co ..stluceetl co nformity to these intentions. F h in office (such is Whigs were which the G- i nfluence of th e principles on Jvernmeut is founded, over the mind), all t Liberal Journals ex claimed incessantly ts is fai list the impolixy ofappoint ing to any office, kowe ver menial or however lordly, any person w i Lio was not a th:orough-paced Whig or Liberal. We cannot, therefore, feel any in dignati'Jn at the conduct of the Tories in Ireland. It ccfrtainly does not surpass what we expected. It is only the necessary consequence of the prin ciple on which the Government is constituted; and to blame it, is something like blaming a steam - rzngine, which we have constructed and set to work, for the motion of the vessel, which it Produces. The great object and intention of Government, so far as Ireland is concerned, is to preserve that mons trous nuisance, the I r i s h Ch urc h. For this object the people have been impoverished, de ?graded, and oppressed f;r ages. If that Church were useful or agreeable to the people, like Potatoes or cloth, they would freely support it, as they cultivate the ground and raise and im prove manufactures ; but because that Church is both mischievous and disagreeable, the Govern ment has for one of its main objects to support it by coercion. But how can the Government effect that, unless it be administeredin all its de partments by men who think the political nuisance ought to be maintained ? The Whig Govern ment, which cut off ten Bishoprics and. em ployed those who regarded the Church as a nui sance, wa4 preparin g th e way for extirpating it ; and the Tory Government—far truer, we will t admit, to the principle of its birth—is doing, and will do, all in its power to nourish the Church. Accordingly it appoints Mr. BREWSTER, an Orangeman, and dismisses Mr. CAHILL, a Ca tholic. Chief Justice BVsnE, a limb of 'the ` Go vernment, shares the opinion that the Church ought to be upheld at the expense of the people, who, for all his party, constitute a very subordi nate consideration, and he accordingly retained his place till he could see a friend of the Church appointed in his stead. The appointments, then, we repeat, of which our Contemporaries com plain, are the natural consequences of the system, and to quarrel with them is like quarrelling with potatoes for growing after they have been planted. Passing from the indignation of our Contem poraries at these appointments, which is unjustifi able as long as they approve of the system, we must advert to the resignation of Chief Justice BusHE, to illustrate a very different question. His case and that of the Lord President HOPE are two examples of men in high station who have been for some time anxious to retire, but have held on from an expectation that the Tories would be reinstated in office. Many other persons nourished the same expectation. In fact, Sir R. PEEL'S advent to office was fore seen and foretold for several months. It was not theresult, therefore, ofcaprice, favouritism, or Court intrigue, and it has about it something of the characteristics of a general fact or natural law. To us this is full of consolation and hope, for it shows that even the accession of a Minister to office is regulated by principles, which, by observation, we may all come to understand, and turn to profit ; as the knowledge of the laws of gravity, after it was ac quired, was turned to the profit of the navigator and the improvement of navigation. The main element of the accession was the de sire of a large body of the nobility, clergy, and gentry to place the Tories in office, because they profess principles in accordance with the objects and intentions of Government as we have de scribed it. The possessors of exclusive privi leges—the few favoured classes—the members of the State Church, are all conscious that the security of their privileges cannot be trusted to the honesty of the acquisition or their utility to others; that if preserved at all, it must be by maintaining the great instrument which is created to preserve them ; and their desire to pre serve them, linking numerous individuals in the resolute attainment of one common object, carried Sir ROBERT PEEL into office. He ga thered around him all who were alarmed lest the character of the Government, as we have described it, should be altered. He continually and artfully nourished their alarm ; he fanned their zeal, and at length they succeeded in placing again in power a man who is pledged to maintain the Government as an instrument for aggrandizing the few at the expense of the many. Another element of the change is to be found in the minds of the many. The bulk of them are accustomed, without reflection, to defer to the desires, wishes, and opinions, of the privi leged classes. There is amongst them a fund of idolatry of wealth and grandeur, the super stitious heritage from a former condition of slavery, as irrational as Fetiche, or Medicine bag worship, which makes the many anxious to please the few, dud promote their grandeur at the expense of their own happiness. The idols, wiser than worshipped stones, are sensible of the power which this disposition of the bulk of the people gives them, and they cultivate it assi duously by the help of a hired and bribed press, and an allied priesthood. Incessantly, by all the means in their power, have the bulk of the privileged classes, as one man, pursued their ob ject of placing the Government in congenial hands ; and, working on minds willing to aid them, their perseverance was, in the long run, crowned with success. The return of Sir RO BERT PEEL to power, then, is no accidental cir cumstance, but the combined result of the fears of the privileged classes, and of the deference of the many. We cannot hope to abate the desire of the few to preserve their privileges, though, as they see the instrument they have constructed for their purpose in what they call proper hands, their alarms will subside, and their zeal will relax; but we may expect, by continually setting before the many the vast injury which is inflicted on them by the classes they worship, to lessen their unwise deference, and so bring about another change in the Administration. When we reflect on the outrages which the exclusive system in flicts on all Catholics and Dissenters, andall non electors, when we see the vast injury done to the millions to gratify the rapacity of a few, we can but conclude that a Government which is founded on such principles, and which must in the long run array against it all the excluded or unprivi leged masses—we must conclude that a simi lar great law to that which has temporarily placed the Tories in office will hurl them from it, and at no distant day be fatal to the whole system of our Government. The Ministerial Journals will do their masters and the country great injury if they should suc ceed in generating the opinion that the present agitation on the subject of the Corn -laws is wholly factitious and will soon blow over. The National Operative Anti-Bread-tax Association, which held a meeting at Manchesteron Monday, is a distinct body from the Anti-Corn-law League, but it will work the same end. Col. THOMPSON, who was present, made a most judicious speech , and recommended the operatives to demand com pensation from the landlords for the many years' sufferings they have inflicted on them; and the idea was adopted by the meeting, which voted by acclamation the following resolution : " That this meeting not only considers the total repeal of the Corn-laws to be a measure both reasonable and just, and especially beneficial to the working classes, but also considers that the landowning aristocracy ought to compensate the working classes for years of robbery b'- refunding the whole of the unholy gains wrung from di l e people by those wicked imposts." From a small protecting fixed duty the people have gone on to total abolition sessions. Lord RADNOR .on of the landed ,d now they I an come to demand compensat aristocracy for wicked opo told the Peers some , - wicked oppressior.a were provoking the multitud e iew days ago, that these to ask curious • owners to' " . questions about the titles of th e l an d did - shear estates, and those curious ques ti ons n' ,t receive answers which were satisfactory fr ., the inquirers. The agitation, then, which the Tory Journals pretend to despise, is ; :sitense, and goes to the very heart of politkal society. The landlords who have provoked it know best, we presume, how they can resist it, and can rely with safety on the justice of their cause. For our parts we cannot ce,nceive the possibility of holding the great multitude in subjection against their will; and once they come generally to the conclusions solemnly recorded at Manchester, and babbled out without preparation •at Nor wich, snowing they came from an intense and cherished conviction, the power of the land owners will disappear like snow on the return of spring. " Backed by public opinion," said Sir James Graham, before he was a renegade, "the landowners are almost omnipotent. In violation of public opinion they cannot long retain an exclusive advantage. The contest is faar ful ; for on what ground will it be decided ? On the very topic which inflames to madness, that hunger which breaks through stone walls will be arrayed against them ; reason will be no longer heard ; the barriers of society will be broken down ; and estates, distinctions, and honours, swept away in one resistless torrent. LET THOSE WHO SEEK HIGH PRICES at all risks, remember the words of Tacitus—" Vulgus ad rnagnitudinem bene ficiorum aderat stultissimus quisque pecuniis naercebatur; apud sapientes cassa habebantur, quie neque dari neque accipi, salva republics, poterant."_ At all the meetings which have been held, all factious - , or mere Whig and Tory motives, have been disclaimed. The agitation is no hollow party move. It is based, as a Correspondent from Birmingham says, on empty workshops, empty cupboards, empty pockets, and empty stomachs. It is an honest agitation. It has no leader. It is neither an O'CONNELL nor an O'CoNNon. move. It serves no individual ambition; it is not got up for any individual purpose. It may therefore be slow in its progress, incomplete in its organiza tion, and disobedient to command; but its results will be the more lasting and more important. With the eNclusion of the pri vileged classes, it is national. It is no longer confined to Corn-laws it attacks all privileges, and seems more like one of those moral revo lutions which prostrate systems of Government, and of faith, than those evanescent hubbubs which statesmen may despise and editors mock at. We have received the whole of the French journals of Tuesday, but they add little to the intelligence previously received from Spain. We have given in another column from them the proclamations of the Spanish insurgents, with the latest news from the French frontier. M. FRANK CANE, the Procureur-General, has been promoted to a Judgeship at Rouen. His succes sor is M. HEBERT, a disciple of M. PERSIL, and everyway qualified to bend most obsequiously to the wishes of the Cabinet. " The accounts from Burgundy," says the Alsace of Strasburg, " represent the vintages of Beaune, Pommard, and Volnay, to be very satisfactory, and that wines of the whole of the Cote d'Or will be equal in quality to those of the most celebrated years; but the quantity Is generally estimated at about one-half of last year's growth. In the Champagne country the vintage has commenced, but opinions are divided as to the pro bable quality of the wine. Those of Ay are expected to be inferior to the produce of last year, but those of Epernay, and Pierry, Cramant, and Montholon, are better thought of. The hills of Rheims will render only a small quantity of wine, but it will be good in quality. As to the Southern wines, they write from Perpignan that , the temperature of the weather and the heavy rains have been very unfavourable to the gathering, and the pro duce is expected to be low both in quantity and good ness. In Roussillon, in consequence of the grapes having begun to perish, the vintage, which is generally delayed till the beginning of October, was commenced and finished by the large growers, and particularly at Rivesaltes, in the course of September." A correspondent writes from the Hague that on the 10th inst. the Second Chamber of the States General adopted, by 29 to 22, the budget of the Minister of War, amounting to 12 millions of florins (30 millions of francs). A chapter, with 500,000 florins for unforeseen expenses, remained to be voted. The fifth chapter of the budget of the Minister of the Interior had been voted by a majority of 32 to 21. The Minister of the Interior, M. Van Schimmelpenninck, had previously de clared that ho would retire from office it• the chapter should be rejected. A Vienna letter says :—" We have seldom had so many members of the Imperial family assembled here as at the present moment. There are twenty-three Arch dukes and Archduchesses now at Court, and their Im perial Majesties have just been joined by the Prince of Salerno." The Illanheim Gazette, on the authority of letters from Vienna, speaks of some political arrests in that city connected with a new conspiracy of the " Sclavic Democrats" said to have been discovered in Galicia, and in which several important personages are reported to be compromised. It is supposed that there is a secret understanding between the conspirators and the "Sclavic or Russian aristocrats." 4(1.,-,-:‘ • A -WO ; -....--,- t 1 * --1 ' --. . .

DESECRATION OF THE SABBATH.-At a meet ing of the Edinburgh Commissioners of Police, held on Monday last, a member of the name of Richardson read a long paper in support of a motion, " That the Scavengers discontinue cleaning the street on the Sunday mornings." The substance of his argument was,—such em ployment was a di rec t b reac h of the fourth commandment, and could be avoided by late cleaning on Saturday night. A lengthened dis cussion followed, and the result was that clean ing the streets was no desecration of. the Lord's Day, the mover and seconder only voting for this absurd motion. We have hopes yet that the Scotch people will See the folly of their ways, and get rid of the character which they now enjoy, of being more addicted to useless observances than even the Jews themselves. A .GRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT.--ID a pro spectus publish e d b y t h e " L and Investm Ireland, is the f o ll ow i ng passage " Those best ac quainted with th e state o f Irel-anma ci"::c Company of upwards of thr ee millions cares of land in that island still remain totally uncult a m althoughted,are well aware that be capable of cultivp.' and ascertained to most fertile pot.* Lon ; that the richest and the 'ion of the lands under cultivation d o no t yield one-fe rt of the produce which under a proper . eroved system, the result of science and capital, a t hn n are capable of producing\ particularly in the hands of active farmers employinghen, labour, and capit a l f or their own benefit." Ilise believe there is a great deal of truth in this etatttnent, and that it would apply to Eng land as welt ns Ireland. If means could be adopted for ampleying the vast capital in this country, much of it comparatively idle, in improving not only waste land, but in adopting new modes of agriculture, so success fully pursued in Scotland, we should not see thousands of families, with their little property, emigrating every year to foreign countries or distant colonies. This Com pany has ;leen formed with a view to obviate, to a cer tain extent, this drain on the best part of our popula tion, by purchasing estates in Ireland, and dividing them into ;arms of from one hundred to ten acres each, to be mold by auction or private contract to the highest bidder —a novel undertaking certainly, and, if properly con ducted, might produce the best results. It is a subject of general regret, that so many of our industrious little farmers should be obliged to emigrate, while vast tracts of land in the United Kingdom remain uncultivated. A MICHAELMAS GOOSE.--On Saturday lait a robbery was committed at the mansion of Mr. Baber, an independent gentleman residing at Hailsham, in Sus sex, under the following circumstances:—Mr. Baber is a very eccentric character, and has a great taste for orni thology. On the day in question he was informed that a man had called to say there was a most extraordinary white bird, bigger than a goose, in his park. The old gentleman immediately summoned his groom and coach man, and all parties having armed themselves with guns, sallied forth to shoot the wonderful white bird. They had not been absent long when the alarm bell at the mansion sounded. On arriving at the house they found the maid-servant locked in an upper room. She stated that immediately after their departure to shoot the great white bird, the same . man got in at the parlour window, dragged her up stairs, and made her disclose where her master's money was kept. ,The thief then broke open a desk, and carried off a quantity of sovereigns. The girl stated that she was struck twice on the head with a hammer, although there was no mark left. She was apprehended, and underwent an examination before the Magistrates, but as there is no trace at present to the money, she was discharged. A young man, who "kept her company," was near the spot at the time. It is ex pected that the guilty party will shortly be brought to justice. Mr. Baber, on returning home, confessed he himself had been the goose in this affair.— Worcester Chronicle. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CAR.—OnWednes day morning a young man, of gentlemanly appearance, hired a street-cab from off the coach-rank in Padding ton-street, Baker-street, desiring the driver to proceed As quick as possible to the residence of Mr. Yeatesman, a gentleman residing in Earl-street, Lisson-grove. On the driver alighting from the box, and opening the cab door, he found him with his head reclining against the side of the cab, and blood flowing i . copiously from a se vere incision which he inflicted in his throat with a razor that lay on the seat. lie was immediately con veyed into the house, and surgical assistance being promptly re n d ere d , the Wound was sewed up, and con siderable hopes are entertained for his recovery. The unfortunate gentleman was a nephew of Mr. Yeatesman. S LIMIARY OF NEWS AND Public la ti tido n. " Who runs may read." As the insurrection progresses in Spain, the King of the French ostentatiously parades his sympathy for the insurgents in the person of Maria Christina. On Sunday his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen and Maclaine Adelaide, his sister, visited Queen Christina at her hotel in the Rue des Courcelles. Such a visit at such a time must be regarded as in the highest degree hostile to the Spanish Government. What would the French Govern ment say were Espartero, as Regent of Spain, to pay visits to the young Duke of Bordeaux, at a time when an insurrection in his name had broken out on the Py rennean frontier ? Would they not regard such an in decent proceeding as almost tantamount to a declaration of war ? The Gazette dc France states that a Council of Mini sters was held on Sunday, to deliberate upon the menaces of the Spanish Ambassador relative to the countenance given by the Court to the Spanish insurgents. It was decided, in order to quiet Spain, and to preserve the ap pearances of neutrality, to make a show of preventing Queen Christina from leaving Paris. A telegraphic despatch was also sent off to the provinces, to prevent the Carlist officers from entering Spain. As these offi cers are not disposed to bare a blade in support of the pretensions of Christina, their detension in France can be of little consequence to the Spanish Government. No orders were, however, issued to prevent the partisans of Christina from crossing the frontier. The National of Tuesday states that the report of the attempted insurrection at Madrid, on the night of the 7th instant, communicated to the ex-Regent, differed very materially from the published telegraphic despatch. According to that Journal, Espartero's victory was com plete, and the leaders of the insurrection, taken with arms in their hands, were shot. The number reported is thirty. The object of the conspirators was to carry off the young Queen and her sister. The wealth of Queen Christina is enormous. Of the property of King Ferdinand she carried out of ,Spain in gold and jewels to the amount of sixty-five millions of francs. She has immense sums vested in the Securities of England, France, Russia, and the United States. With the sole exception of King Louis Philippe, Chris tina is the richest individual in Europe ; and yet her avarice, more than her ambition, prompts the attempt to revolutionize Spain. It was reported on the Paris Bourse that General Don Diego Leon was one of the conspirators shot in Madrid by order of the Regent. The fortress of Pampcluna, now in the possession of General O'Donnell, is well provisioned, and mounts sixty guns. It is so strong that military men in Spain have declared that it is capable of resisting an army of 80,000 men with a hundred heavy guns. The Sultana Ebedoull*h, sister of the late Sultan Mahmoud, died at Constantinople on the 17th ult. As is customary in Turkey, she was buried on the same day. The great Officers of State attended the funeral, which was otherwise strictly private. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Chronicle remarks, in a leading article suggested by the late abortive attempt at Norwich of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts to hold its public anniversary Religion and philanthropy must pay the penalty of Tory success. They have lost their fairest opportunity for the promo tion of their benevolent enterprises, The impressions which they have been acetistotned to make on the minds of listening crowds can no longer be repeated. Ibis is what the Church has got by its alliance with successful faction. It has won Peel and lost the public. The clergy who cared about the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts should have looked more sternly on the violation of gospel precepts at home. Their missions must suffer for it. Their allies have paid the multitude not to hear reason, and the result is not surprising that they should refuse to hear reli gion. If the case were rightly . understood by the dig ni4ed clergy, as they retired in discomfiture from the Norwich meeting, they must have felt that to this hu miliation they had been brought by the very acts that bore the leaders of their party into the Treasury. We hope the lesson will not be lost upon them."—The strict alliance between the Church and. the Tories, which the Chronicle here speaks of, is an alliance which will be beneficial to neither party. So far from strengthening, it will have the effect of weakening both. Instead of the one giving the advantage of its popularity to the other, it is a clubbing of two unpopularites. The Church should have kept aloof from everything in the shape of party ; the Tories should have taken up a neutral ground between the Church and the people. As the two are now situated, they can only embarrass each other. The one will act as a constant drag-chain on the other. . Reverting to the hacknied question of the Corn-laws, the Post says:—" We have met with many sincere and intelligent men who thought that on mercantile, but more especially-on what are called monetary' grounds, it would be good policy to change the present Corn-law to a system of fixed duties, as on other foreign commo dities. They have always failed to convince us by their arguments, however we might admire the ingenuity with which they were framed. But we never met any sincere and intelligent man who maintained the opinion that a repeal of the existing Corn -law, or any modification of it, would 'be productive of great benefit to the workin ,, classes, and give them more food, and bet ter food, than they generally have at present."-- By "sincere and intelligent" mea the Post, of course, means Tories, and the majority of those would naturally be disposed to speak with disapprobation of a repeal of the Corn-laws. But no one questions the sincerity and intelligence of Mr. Cobden, or of Colonel Thompson, or of Earl Radnor, and those other Liberal landholders who have such a great personal stake in the . question ; and these, to a man, aro in favour of a revision of the impost. Poll the sincerity and intelligence of the coun try, and it will declare, by an overwhelming majority, for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Times asserts that the differences between the Whigs and extreme Radicals are infinitely greater than those between the Whigs and Tories, adding :—" With a common interest in whatever upholds the rights of pro perty and rank, as well as in the zealous furtherance of temperate freedom and national prosperity, the Whigs and Conservatives are ranged in opposition to each other chiefly on questions of time and degree. On almost all the vital principles of public policy, professedly at least, they are agreed. if we except, perhaps, the manner in which a system of national education ought to be regulated; or the treatment that should be extended to a refractory colonial faction ; or the instructions and persons best fitted for accelerating the objects of an expeditionary force; or the judicious econo my requisite to keep the patronage of Government and the national resources in a healthful condition ; or the means most advisable for maintaining the interests of all classes in the community, with a favourable and indul gent leaning towards the poorest—if we except the diversity of view prevalent among Whigs and Conserva tives on such matters as these, we hardly know of a sin gle question on which they are essentially at variance."— Your " If" has a wondrous virtue, in the way of ex ceptions. if we except the circumstances that the Whigs are in favour of Reform, and the Tories against it ; that the one party opposes monopoly, and the other sup ports it ; that the Whigs would go slowly forward, and the Tories hastily retrograde ; that the Whigs recog nise the existence of the people, and the Tories act as if they had no existence at all, as if, in short, the country consisted solely of their own party ;—if we except these trifling differences, then the Whigs and Tories are as like each other as two peas ! Such is the reason ing of the Times, which, by means of an accommodating " if," reconciles all the differences between day and night, light and shade, and proves that they closely re semble each other The Morning Herald says—" Not a single outbreak, not a solitary row (to say nothing of the dignified extra vagances of an insurrection) can be conjured up to jus tify the fears or corroborate the foresight of the late Administration ! When we compare the tranquil evolu tion of passing events—the unbroken succession in which all the functions of Government and of society are deve loped, in their accustomed operation--(despite the dis carded postulates of Mr:l3aring's budget)--with the pro. plieey of Tarnine; and the terrible denunciations of the Anti-Corn-law confederacy, denunciations of war and pes tilence: we cannot wonder at the gloominess and resent ment of the parasites of a Whig Government and Whig measures. We can offer them, on the other hand, no consolation to countervail the discomfiture of their battle—the disproof of their prophecies. They must be content with the bitter consolation that their wis dom is foolishness'—that all which they have said and sung so long and so solemnly, of the disastrous con sequences of disregarding their doctrines and their an nouncements, is in the course of gradual but cer tain repudiation. The bounty of Providence has laughed to scorn their predictions of evil."—The Herald is here shouting before it is out of the wiped. The " tranquil evolution of passing events" is a flourishing and consolatory figure of speech, got up to tickle the ears of the Tories, but it has little or no meaning. Events are only tranquil just now, because the people are sullen—because they have not yet got over the surprise occasioned by the apathetic conduct of Ministers. But the long dreary winter has yet to make itself felt by the half-frozen, half-starved thousands in the manufacturing districts ; the cup of bitterness has yet to recei v e the last drop which will cause it to overflow—and then, what will become of our Contemporary's fine flourish about the " tranquil evolution of passing events ?" There is a spirit at work in the country—not the less dangerous be cause its effects are at present unseen—which, if not neutralised by some enlarged, remedial measure of po licy, will ere long break out with all the active, unrelent ing energy of despair. The Cheltenham Examiner, speaking of the Tory Mi nisters, observes:—"Lord iipon is, as we all know, a turncoat on a small scale, and consequently fanks es one of the honest. Sir James Graham and Lord Stanley, being apostates of grea ter note, are, we suppose, more honest still. Whil e Sir Francis Burdett, the very incar nation of apostasy, must, as a natural corollary, be the ne plus ultra of honesty; as for Wellington and Peel having shown something like an adherence to principle, they may be of course regarded as the canaille of the p ar ty , men who would hardly 6 pass muster in the Honesty' club." The Cambridge Advertiser addresses the following warning observations to the Monopolists:_- Sir B. Peel is for th e p resent the mere creature of the landow ners . They who p ut hi m i n w ill turn him out again.' But he declares th at h e w i ll b e f ree ! True he is now bound h an d and foot, an d h as hi mse lf p a ssively assisted to put on th e fetters ; b ut t h e t i me w ill pMe ' when, like ancie n t Pis tol devouring the leek, he will be horribly rev,eni;ed. We believe him! We have firm faith in his consis tency. Monopolists! put not your trust in Sir R. The Worcester Chromcle says of the Queen's Speech' - "It is emptier than Colonel Sibthorp's head or Peter Borthwick's pockets: We are told it is advisable to pro rogue Parliament— to prorogue it in defiance, of the re monstrances of the people and the representations of the all-pervading distress made in the _House of Commons. But we are not told why it is advisable, and we have yet to learn, from the experience of the future, whether it has been safely and wisely advised." The Dublin Evening. Post, alluding to Lord Eliot's dismissal of Mr. John Cahill, Crown Solicitor at the Tipperary Quarter Sessions, remarks—" The Tories have drawn the sword. The game of delusion is entirely at an end, and. the reign of terror is commencing. Thus it is that Sir• Robert Peel seeks to conciliate Ireland, whilst every arrival from the Continent and from Ame rica indicates impending war." On the subject of the Queen's Speech the York Courant remarks as follows :—" A Royal Speech is not ono from which we should ever expect to gain much en lightenment, but one more inane than the one read on this occasion we have never rend. But it is consistent with the party, and a do-nothing session could not be more appropriately closed than by a say-nothing Speech." MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. AtiWednesday's adjourned meeting of the Talacre Coal and Iron Company the total claims on the Company were stated at 33,0001, and the Chairman is at present sued for 10,0001. It appeared from the Report that seventeen individuals had purchased the mine of Talacre, in Flintshire, for 75,0001., which they had sold to the Company for 110,0001. According to accounts from Rochdale there is little change in the wool market, manufacturers buy for im mediate use only at the old prices. The accounts from Spain have had rather an unfa vourable effect on the Manchester trade, as some buyers of goods for that country, who were doing much busi ness a week or two ago, have left off purchasing. Yarns, however, are shipping off in large quantities, but prices are no better. AGRICULTURAL. Accounts from Fair, do not speak favourably of the hop-market. file supply had been 3,018 pockets of Farnhams, and 2,500 of other sorts. NAVAL AND MILITARY. A draft of the 99th 11egiment11fTsiJfiigarrison at Chatham, finally to proceed to New South Wales with convicts ; another draft of 118 of the 80th left on Thurs day. The 33d proceeds to Cork, from which place the 97th has come in. The 77th proceeds to Sheerness, in place of which the 75th returns to Chatham. MAW AND POLICE. In the Marylebone Registration Court on Wednesday the name of George handers, attached to the Portuguese Embassy, was struck off the list, on the ground that he did not pay rates and taxes. Mr. Coventry, on his attention being called to the de cision given on a previous day, by which he allowed the name of Lord Bridport to remain on the list contrary to the decision of another Revising Barrister, said he saw no reason to alter his opinion, as Peers were not represented in money matters in the Rouse of Commons. A strange argument when it is matter-of-fact that Peers return one half of the Members. At Hatton-garden on Wednesday the driver of the cabriolet No. 431, was fined 10s. for refusing to take a fare. Frederick Smith, driver of an errand cart, appeared at the Kensington police-otlice at the instance of Frederick Shipley, the driver of one of Cloud's omnibuses, charged with having by careless driving damaged the vehicle. The evidence, however, took an unfortunate turn for the complainant. Two witnesses proved that he was the real offender, and the magistrate, Mr. Paynter, therefore ordered him to pay 505., with costs, for damage to ex defendant's wheel; 20s. to defray the expenses of one of the witnesses; ss. for the other; and ss. to the boy, who was thrown out by the furious driving of Shipley. LITERARY AND SCIENTIPIC. Mr. Wertheimber's new calculating machine appears to attract much notice. It works arithmetical questions in all the four first rules from one farthing to millions of pounds sterling. On the 6th inst. her Majesty and Prince Albert were present at the action of the machine at Windsor Castle, and were highly pleased. SPORTING. Walsall Races, so many y ears the favourite resort of the lovers of sport, have been discontinued this year from inadequacy of funds. Partridges and sportsmen have become equally scarce in the country, owing to the very wet weather. COU/Vl l -PASITIONABLE. The Prince and Princess of Capua arrived at the Star and Gartar Hotel, Richmond, on Wednesday, from North Wales, after a visit of condolence to Lord and Lady Dinorben. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch left Whitehall gardens on Wednesday, on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Wellington is expected to leave town for Walmer Castle, to-morrow. The Marquis and Marchioness of Tweddale have left town for Paris, to meet the Duke of Manchester. The Dowager Lady Holland, is prolonging her re sidence at Byam House, Brighton. The marriage of Lord Walpole to Miss Pellew, only child of the Hon. Sir F. Pellew, will take place about the end of October. The Duke of Wellington, notwithstanding the ad vanced period of the season, rises shortly after day break, and, if the weather will permit, walks for some time before breakfast in the garden attached to Apsley House, his Grace regulating his exercise by one of Payne's pedometers, so that ho may know how much ground he has walked over. Thus the great captain of the age preserves his health, which, it affords us pleasure to be able to state, is better than for some years past. The Princess de Canino, widow of Lucien Bonaparte, is arrived in Paris, and has been received by the King and Queen. MISCELLANEOUS. Yesterday, in 1814, died John Curran. His forensic displays were unrivalled. Horne Tooke said—" Cur ran 's wit, like a mine of virgin gold, incessantly crumbles away from its own richness." Sir Edward Sugden has taken Lord Plunkett's house in Stephen's-green, for " one year certain," at a rent of 4501. At the usual Petty Session held on Fridays in the Board-room of the Strand Union, it was stated that for the last four weeks in succession not a single Magistrate had attended. On Friday last the parish officers and collectors of the parishes of St. Clement Danes and St. Paul, Covent-garden, and about seventy parties who had been summoned for non-payment of rates, were in attend ance for two hours to no purpose, as not one Magistrate was in attendance. _ _ The death of Prince Borromeo is announced as having lately taken place at his villa of the Isola Bella, on the Lago Magiore. A gentleman, who has been employed by the Govern ment in trying to civilise the wild men who live in the Bintoune forests of the island of Ceylon, thus describes them:—" They were really wild; could not count three; knew nothing of days or years, bad no gods, or worship, or ceremony. They are fast improving in everything." We advise the Government, after this gentleman has finished his labours in Ceylon, to send him to the north to tame the "wild men" in the Kirk. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.--This morning her Majesty walked for some time on J the Terrace with the Prince. The Princess Royal was taken out as usual. Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duke of Buecleuch, passed part of the forenoon in pheasant shooting, at Frogmore. In the afternoon, her Majesty and his Royal Highness took an airing in a pony phaeton, the Prince driving, accompanied by her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Buecleuch, and attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lady Dundas, Hon. H. Anson, Hon. M. Paget, the Marquis of Ormonde, and Captain Hood in the other phaeton and carriages, and by the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord C. Wellesley, Right Hon. Dawson Darner, Colonel Bouverie, Hon. C. A. Murray, and aptain Francis Sey mour on horseback. _ _ Colonel _ Richardson, of the Royal Horse Guards, will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner circle this evening. A deputation on the subject of "Public Walks" for Lambeth, Southwark, &c., consisting of H. Kemble, Esq., M.P., B. Hawes, Esq., M.P., W. T. Iliff, M.D., Captain Powell, Messrs. H. Groom, T. Fleming, H. Cope, jun., Robert Malcolm, T. B. Fleming, and R. Cannon, had an interview with Sir James Graham at the Home-office. Sir Samuel Spry and Mr. R. Hay, had inter views with Sir Robert Peel yesterday at his official residence in Downing-street. The Duke of Wellington left town yesterday for his residence Walmer Castle. The Bishop of London had an interview yes terday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing -street. Despatches were sent off last evening from the Colonial-office for Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales. ACCIDENT ON THE HULL AND SELBY RAILWAr.—An inquest was held before E. D. Conyers, Esq., on Friday last, at the Railway Tavern, Brough, on the body of John Heesom, a gate-keeper on the line, whose death occurred on the evening of the 'Wednes day previous. Deceased was a married man. He is supposed to have been asleep, and only heard the last whistle, when he rushed out in a state of stupor to open the gates, and was run over by the train. It was said that he was writing a sermon, or a commentary, on that part of the 19th chapter of St. Luke, relating to Zaccheus having climbed up 4 sycamore tree, in order to see Christ ; and it was supposed by some that he might have pored over his work, until he became so absorbed as not to notice the approach of the train. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," and requested the. Coroner to ad monish the engine-driver and fireman as to the necessity for caution and watchfulness.—York Courant: On Sunday morning last, Mr. Joseph Lee, the powerful bass singer, at York Minster, and who was so well known throughout the county for his ex cellent sing ing at the various concerts, &c., died very suddenly. He was seized with a fit of apoplexy, and expired in a short time. He was forty years of age, and was much re spected by hil numerous friends.—Ycrk Courant.

The market for the English Securities supported to day the improved appearance of yesterday afternoon, and the settlement went off much better than was antici pated, the failures having turned out to be very insigni ficant in respect to the losses they will entail upon any party. The purchases of the Court of Exchequer, and the public combined, have completely saved many of the jobbers. Money was much easier to-day. Consols were 88 to 884 for present transfer, and SBl- to for the next account. Exchequer Bills continued at I ls. to 13s. premium ; and India Bonds at 2s. premium to par. Bank Stock rallied to 1641 and 165, and India Stock to 2441 and 245. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 974 to 981. The business done in Foreign Stocks was of a more limited character to-day, as regards not only the general range, but even those "pets of the fancy," Spanish Actives. These latter improved, however, from 1q- to 191 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. were marked 30 to 291 ; Mexican, 241 to 4 ; Venezuelan, 271 to 28 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51 to 511. The Share Market was quiet, but it maintained rather a better position. Great Western were 91 to 101 ; the New, 34 ; and York and North Midland, 28 premium. Brighton were 94 to 91 discount. London and West minster Bank Shares were a to 1 premium. (From The Sun of Last Night.) „ LIVERPOOL COTTON - MARKET, OCT. 13.—We hare had a better demand for cotton to-day, the sales amount ing to 4,000 bales, of which 600 have been taken by speculators. The descriptions sold are chiefly Surats, 3d. to 41d. ; Pernams, 7d. to Bd. ; and New Orleans, 41d. to 6d. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, OCT. 13. The fol lowing are the transactions :—Grand Junction, Half Shares, 971 ; Great Western, 201.

New Shares, 23A ; Manchester and Leeds Quarter Shares, 15s. prem.; Manchester and Birmingham, 21*. Sydney, New South Wales, papers, to the 6th of June, have been received, which state that ” the monetary af fairs of this town and colony are still in a most dis tressed and unsatisfactory condition, notwithstanding all our foreboding to the contrary, that the evil day had come and passed away : a general dullness per vades all classes of the community, and all branches of trade, which nothing can so effectually remove as cheer ing news from England, To show the unfavourable po sition recent circumstances have plunged this colony in, we may adduce the fact that there are no less than eight hundred cases before the Courts of Bequests this week, which taken at a fair average amount to 4,000/." The advices from South Australia up to the 15th of May, state that Captain Grey, Governor of Australia, arrived there safe. His Excellency was cordially re ceived by Governor Gawler's family, and there he re mains as a guest, until sworn in as Governor of the Pro vince. His Excellency's lady was delivered of a son on the voyage. Both the English and Foreign Securities opened this morning with a further advance upon yesterday's prices, and both markets are looking firmer, money being much easier. Consols are 884 s for Money, and 884 4 for the November Account ; Exchequer Bills, 11 13. Spanish Active Stock has advanced to 191 4, in con sequence of the prices coming higher from Paris. Por tuguese Five per Cents. are 294 301 ; Ditto Three per Cents., 181. Not much business doing at present. The Oriental steamer has arrived with the remainder of the Overland Mail, but does not bring any additional news to that already published. The settlement of the Account in the English Stock Market is being adjusted more favourable than was anti cipated. Up to the present time no declaration has taken place. The markets have gone flat again since the opening. Consols are now 88 for Money, and 881 for the Novem ber Account ; Three per Cent. Reduced, 874 1 86i ; Three-and-a-Half per Cent.

Ball, London; Philp and Evans, Bristol. 1841. t The author of this tale is a lady nam ed Lanion who has inscribed it, in a modest and affecting dedication, to the son of the late Marsh al Mac. donald, as a "slight tribute to a n unc hang in g friendship of m an y y ea rs." The - event s Of, Ole narrative are supposed to have occur red duriaf the reigns of Septimus Severus and Cara call6l when the Roman power, ; having - highest pinnacle of greatness, was fa4t Ittp on decline. The principal personage; a by name Cevulas, is his own biograpili 3 rin , 1 0 the leisure and tranquillity of old ag e, a n , lu ti e himself by detailing the par ticulars, past career to his distinguished Roman frien e Claudius Tacitus. He was born in a secluded foreAt hut, near the banks of the Danu be, and in early life was deprived of his father, who as murdered by a Roman soldier. The youth afterwards carried off to Rome, where, afte r it o ing through many strange vicissitudes, a ; se employed as a gladiator, and attractedin capacity the attention of the Emperor Car,o who, struck by his skill, agility, and CAtilT s i c at the arena, endeavoured to make him sub o / 4 - 4 1 i0 to his interests—in fact, to engage mie r ts, tool; but being unsuccessful 'in • bier.'-' e threw him into prison, and ''Pe ri r in - o re'• him for months with unrelenting 'a i F s '_';,slit Having by good fortune escaped - Imp erial clutches the Dacian quitted -s" and pursued his way to Antioch, where•heisnfif mained for some time, and was an ey . e - *," t the the death of Caracalla, with which inciaTm,_ .
