Wes."' memiefzemenesminemi LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1341. The Tories are frantic with rage because it is now understood, that, in meeting the new Par liament, the Ministry will bring on the question of the Budget. After all the windings and doublfngs of Sir R. PEEL and his supporters,— after all the tricks and devices by which he con trived to evade an exposition of his trade and financial policy, Lord Joux 11.ussELL determines to seize the first hour of his triumph to wring from him the details of his projects, or a confes sion of his incapacity. This is dreadfully morti fving to the Tories. They have misgivings as to PEEL having any plan, and they are fright ened out of their wits at the idea of his being obliged to acknowledge in the face of the House of Commons that he sees no safety for the country save in a. partial adoption of every mea sure proposed by the Whigs. They fear that, disgusted at the outset, many of the new Mem bers, returned as Tories, would refuse to follow such a leader; and that to be as Conservative as his Sovereign, and as tenacious of aristocratic institutions as one of the most distinguished mem bers of the House of RUSSELL, might satisfy, to his heart's content, any country gentleman called to occupy a seat in the House of Commons. But from whatever source springs the terrors of the Tories, the Ministers owe it to themselves, to the country, and to their principles, to affbrd the new Parliament a fair opportunity of adopting or rejecting that Budget upon which an appeal has. been made to the nation. This is a question gib direct and so momentous that nothing should be ass*med respecting it which has not been sub mitted to the strongest proof of which it is capa ble. Defeated in the late House of Commons the Ministers have appealed to the country. Now, whatever may be surmised respecting political complexion of the new House, it has as yet expressed no opinion, either upon the Budget or anything else. The proposed Corn_ law and the Sugar duties must be submitted to the House of Conn/fens before it can be as.:Amed 4o have rejected them; and the Go.Jvernment would indted act with culpable precipitancy were Ministers to regulate their official conduct in an affairnot of such gravity, by the votes of the House of Commons, but by h ust i ngs, ' ad dresses, Ta.mworth qedack speeches, and the ad vices of Tory newspapers. The Tories want the Ministers to desert the Quensf- without waiting for the opinion of Par liament upon their policy. They want to have an opportunity of representing her MAJES TY as shamefully ab an d one d by her advisers, that Sir ROBER T PEE L may claim the merit of covering her with the shield of Conservative protection, and thus establish his Sovereign aclaim to the gratitude of themselves •_ Ministers will no t so di sgrace selve s to • th T .hey will not lend th em - Worthy of the Tory trick, so entirely quack doctor, r ii " o f the • Tainworth w ill not anticipate defeat by a shameful flight. The battle is yet to be fought, and it is of the last importance that the country shall ascertain the precise number of its enemies. The Tories affect to feel indignant that the QUEEN should have language put into her mouth which the future Premier may feel it his duty to advise her to contradict. This considera tion was of as much moment when her MAJESTY summoned her first Parliament as it is now. The QUEEN'S Speech is always constitutionally regarded as the speech of her Cabinet, and nobody but some hair-brained Tory could suppose for an instant that a speech com posed by Lords MELBOURNE and JOHN RUSSELL would be so framed as to receive no contradiction in a speech written by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. GOULBURN. The Tories have, however, hit upon a method for preserving the consistency of Royal speeches, and a very droll one it is. The Speech is to be dictated by the chief of the Opposition, and thus a change of Ministers can effect no change in the language of Royalty. When the Whigs are in office Sir ROBERT PEEL is to compose QUEEN'S speeches, and when the Tories gain power, Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to dictate the terms in which it will be proper for her MAJESTY to address her Parliament. But here the cloven foot peeps out. The dis guise of an overweening tenderness for the feel ings of the Sovereign is so scanty, and so ludi crously put on, that it only serves to draw atten tion to the deformity which it is intended to hide. From the eagerness of Sir R. PEEL to keep Lord J. RUSSELL'S mouth shut, we suspect the Tamworth Doctor proposes to drug her MA JESTY with Whig medicine. It is not be cause he has quite a different speech from them to put into the mouth of the QUEEN that he wants the Whigs to allow her to say nothing, but because he has pilfered the ideas of the speech which her MAJESTY'S present ladvisers are bound to submit to her. Sir ROBERT PEEL knows that he would cut hut a sorry figure in the Cabinet of the Sovereign tendering to her a second edition of a speech, which, as leader of the Opposition, he had caused to be rejected by the House of Commons. Even he would blush to be thus compelled to admit that his opposition to her late Government was fitc tious, and that his were struggles, not for the triumph of great principles, but for the sordid emoluments of office. He wants the .present Cabinet to rid him of this annoyance— to save him this humiliation. He war,is, by their silence, to be allowed to say much of what they will tell, and *what he feels convinced that he must tell the country. The Ministry, we are confi dent, will do nothing of the sort. It is no part of their business to clear the road to Downing street of those obstructions over which the Tories are stumbling. Accounts of commercial distress reach 113 from all parts of the country. Trade is in a de plorably depressed state, and failures in manu facturing districts, to ruinous amounts, are af fairs of daily occurrence. From Manchester, Leeds, Bolton, Bradford, Glasgow, and Paisley, we receive, by every post, harrowing details of the sufferings of the poor thrown out of employ ment, and obliged to subsist on an allowance of the coarsest food, falling far short of what is allotted for the maintenance of convicted felons in our gaols and penitentiaries. The tri umph of the bread-taxers during the late election has greatly increased the general dis tress. Many of the manufacturers now despair of realizing- for themselves, and their workmen, those advantages which they know would follow from a more extensive commercial intercourse with foreign countries, attendant upon a comparatively free trade in corn. Their care now is to keep what they have got, and to risk as little as possible. The workmen are gloomy and desponding, and in some places desperate. They have lost all confidence in public men, seeing that the rich care nothing for their misery, when weighed in the balance against high rents and dear bread. Every day widens more and more the bi each which sepa rates the wealthy from the productive classes. The workman sees himself thrown out of employ ment, his labour rendered valueless, and his wife and children starving upon a dry crust and a few potatoes, to increase the rent-roll of some idle aristocrat, or force a higher market for the surplus produce of the wealthiest class of, agriculturists, and he regards both as his ene mies. This utter separation of the poor from the rich is one of the very worst signs of the times. Society must tumble to pieces if two of the main bodies that compose it come to regard each other with fear and aversion. No State can stand after the extinction of those sympathies which recognise in wealth a claim to respect, and in poverty a right to support and protec tion. In this country the poor trusted everything to the rich, and the depth of their wretchedness shows the extent to which they have been betrayed. It is in this stage of the State malady that Doctor PEEL presents himself with quack nostrums, which he refuses to show unless we guarantee to swallow them whether we like them or not. This mode of treat ment will not do. The case is too urgent. Something must be done, and that right speedily, or the worst symptoms will exhi bit themselves. To drop metaphor, the state of the country is so alarming,—the misery is so wide-spread, the disruption between the idle and the productive classes is so great,—that if a radical remedy be not provided, we fear a state of things will shortly prevail in England, to which we would rather not give a name. The Tories called their late election a triumph, the triumph of the Monopolists and the Church. That would be bad enough, but is something still worse. It is the triumph of popular infidelity in the pledges of public men. The Tories triumphed because the mass of the people, distrusting them and the Whigs alike, left both to fight the battle of monopoly in any way they liked.

The conclusion of the Manifesto of the Spanish Regency, in answer to the allocution of the POPE, of which some notice was taken in The Sun of yesterday, will be found in another column. Whatever consolation the Holy See may derive from the establishment of the Papal jurisdiction in Portugal, and the continued as surances of Gallican sympathy and support, this manifesto cannot fail to fill the breast of GREGORY XVI. with well-founded, alarm.

It is no light affair to find the Government of the most Catholic country in Christendom charging the apostolic head:of the Romisli Church with aiding and abetting rebellion in the people, and insubordination and crime in the clergy—with promoting anarchy and schism, by withholding pastoral appoint ments rather than forego unjust pretensions to ecclesiastical jurisdiction, incompatible with the dignity and independence of the State—and with an attempt to re-kindle the flames of civil war among a Christian people. ESPARTERO veils his charges under no diplomatic disguises capable of being explained away by subsequent communi cations. He sees in the POPE an enemy to Spa nish liberty, civil and religious, and with all the power with which the nation has invested him, he hurls at him open defiance. He treats the pre tensions of the PoPE, as a temporal Prince, with perfect scorn, not admitting his equality with himself as Regent of Spain. This decided course must bring the question at issue between the two Courts to a speedy determina tion. To give effect to this manifesto, ESPAR TERO has, by a Royal Decree, suspended the Papal power in Spain, and forbidden, under se vere penalties, the promulgation of any bull, brief; or allocution addressed by the POPE to any ecclesiastic within the dominions of her Ma jesty Queen IsAnEnna. It is this quarrel with the POPE which encourages the friends of CHRISTINA in their attempts to re-invest her with the Regency. By a confederacy of Priests, Mo derados, and Carlists, acting under the auspices of the Holy See, they are preparing to try their hands at a counter revolution. France en courages them as much as she can, without abso lutely breaking with the Government at Madrid, while Portugal seeks, by covert intrigues, which she dare not avow, to convince the POPE of the depth of her penitence for having so long grieved the venerable heart of the triple-crowned " Ser vant of the servants of GOD." ESPARTERO has a great and arduous part to perform, and he has entered upon it with praiseworthy intrepidity. We quote here, in justification of our character of his able manifesto, the paragraph with which it concludes:— "As it was the Sovereign Pontiff who refused, as a Prince, to recognize her Majesty as the legitimate heiress of the throne of her ancestors, and also refused, in his quality of spiritual father of the faithful, to supply the - ,wants of the Church in Spain, and, not content with this prolonged resistance, raised his voice in the Consistory to attack the supreme authority of the State, annul its acts, and assert his superiority over one who does not even acknowledge him as an equal, it is himself who has set up a wall of separation between the two Courts, and closed the door to All friendly relations and every species of compromise. The violent allocution of the Holy Father can only be regarded as a declaration of war against Queen Isabella 11., against the safety of the State, and against the Constitution. It is truly a manifesto in favour of the conquered and expelled Pre tender ; it is a scandalous excitement to schism, discord, disorder, and revolt. The Government of her Majesty cannot, without a breach of loyalty and honour, be silent under this enormous attempt. It cannot refrain from employing for its represz,ion all the just means placed in its hands by reason, propriety, the discipline of the Church, and the power of a great and noble nation so shamefully insulted." This is as energetic as-it is decided. If ESPAR TERO contrive to maintain his present ground, the battle of religious liberty is won in the Penin sula. The Christian world, and more especially that portion of it which professes the Reformed religion, has a deep interest in this question. It is on this account that we wish to direct the attention of the British Government particularly to it. ESPARTERO is in danger of foul play. Now, it is the interest of England to prevent this as far as she can. Spain, under the guidance of the REGENT, is engaged in a struggle for reli gious, as well as civil freedom, and, under the plea of protecting and enforcing certain pre tended rights, or rather some usurpations of the Papacy, a confederacy of Foreign Powers, with the POPE at their head, are endeavouring to un_ dermine her Government and Constitution. Un fortunately various causes, arising chiefly from their own bad custom-house laws and ill-defined fiscal regulations, have led to an estrangement of the popular feeling in Spain from that depen dence which it had, during the civil war, upon . the amicable disposition of the Government o 1 this country. That the Spanish Government, so far from participating in the popular delusion, does all in its power to counteract it, there can le no doubt ; but it is not the less a source of national weakness in the contest in which the Spanish liberals are now engaged. Whatever may be their impression of the Spanish people, with the exception of a handful of ultra- Tory bigots, who in their hearts regard the POPE as the pillar of orthodoxy, the sympathies of the people of England are all ranged on the side of ESPARTERO. The whole of the French Journals of Friday and Saturday have been received. The Debats returns to the subject of ESPARTERO'S reply to the manisfesto of the ex-Regent, which it stig matizes as a feeble and inconclusive production, and contends that Queen CHRISTINA was driven from Spain by an act of rebellion in which the present Regent was an actor. From abuse of ESPARTERO the Debats proceeds to abuse Eng land, whose merchants are represented as little better than a gang of smugglers. The Debats denies that a conspiracy exists at the Tuileries for restoring Queen CHRISTINA, but clearly in timates that such an event would give great pleasure in that quarter. The Constitutionnel soundly taxes the Government with a want of patriotism in not turning the presence of CHRISTINA in Paris to more profitable ac count in the Peninsula. This Journal avows with shameless unscrupulosity, that by play ing her cards well now France may become all irowerful in Spain. In replacing CHRISTINA on the Throne of Spain as Regent, France would have a creature of Louis PHILIPPE at the head of Spanish affairs. The National would support ESPARTERO if he could but be brought to quarrel with England or establish a National Conven tion. The National's grand panacea for every distemper of the body politic, is an equality effected by the actio)2, of the guilotine. The only popular ftlgestible pills in the opinion of that or: sf. n o f Democracy, are the heads of the A ); stocracy. - - The Minister of Finance has addressed a long and temperately written circular to the Prefects of the different departments of the kingdom, on the subject of the census. He sets out by telling them that the general census now ordered of buildings, doors, and windows, is not only re quired by the law of 1838, but is necessary to enable the tax-collectors to levy upon each domicile the fair proportion of rates. That the information too is wanted by the Chambers, in order that the Legislature may know what addi tion taxes to impose, or what taxes to modify or abolish, if found to press 'too heavily upon the people. Without such details the new assessment would be neither just nor equitable, The Circular concludes by an assuraM e f rom the Minister that no new t av- es would be levied, nor any change maa:e in pile collection of those now raised. . out the consent of the ' Cham bers fi..— T, • -.6c constitutionally had and obtained. -aL is a pity th a t a doc u ment so well calculated to soothe the national irritation was not pub lished sooner.

A letter from Blidah mentions that on the 27th ult, a party of 100 Arab horsemen came over the ditch and boundary raised by the French for preventing their in. cursions, and caused the troops of the garrison to make an immediate sortie.

Tahir Pacha is able, and defeats every attempt of the Greeks to fire his ships." A few days since a lunatic of Shit Itymei, in Cal vados, in one of his parokysms, opened his body with a scythe blade s and with every demonstration of self-sa tisfaction continued to tear out and cut up his entrails, until he was seized and prevented. Notwithstanding the seriou! injuries he has received, hopes are entertained of saving his life. The Commission of Prisons of Rouen has an nounced to the prisoners the pardons and commutations granted by the King on the occasion of the anniversary of his accession to• the throne. Five men, a woman, and a young girl have obtained the remission of the whole of their sentences, and another female the remission of six months of her term of imprisonment. A letter from Rome supplies the following details of the lamentable consequences of the scene which took place after the 20th ult. A woman and two children were found dead on the ground, eight were mortally wounded, eighty-nine had severe wounds, which have not proved mortal, ten had limbs broken, and 587 received bruises and other injuries. When the people were cleared away from the spot, there were found upon it 479 men's hats, 99 of which belonged to abbes and other ecclesias tics ; 89 short cloaks belonging to abbes, and two monk's frocks; 180 women's caps and bonnets, and ten reticules and purses. The Journal de Toulouse states that a few days since a waggon, with ten horses, set out from the Fau bourg St. Michael, of that town, for the Hotel de Ville. It was ornamented with branches of poplar and weeping willow, and contained the muskets of the National Guard of that faubourg. Each horse was ridden by a man of the faubourg, and on the fore-part of the waggon stood a man holding a musket, muzzle downwards, and a long piece of black crape suspended from the stock. The waggon went to its destination, where the muskets were given up with much order, but the bearer of the musket with the crape was taken up on a charge of having been actively engaged in the recent disturbances. The Prince de Montfort, Jerome Bonaparte, arrived on the Bth inst. at Frankfort, from Stuttgardt. The marriage of the Princess Marie of Arenberg to the Prince Marco Aldobrandini took place in the church of Heverllt, in Belgium, on Monday morning, with great ceremony. The Augsburg Gazette states that all the Polish pro perty of Prince Constantine Czartoryski has been re cently put up to sale at Warsaw. The Constitutionnel states that a lamentable suicide has just been committed at Fontainblcau, where a widow, named Pierchon, aged 80, her son 64, and her daughter 62, to relieve themselves from the state of dis tress and miser• t• which they had been reduced, shut themselves up in a room, and produced death by suffoca tion from charcoal. • For some time past workmen have been engaged in boring an Artesian well at Haguenau (Bas-Rhin). A few days ago, after having gone to a depth or 290 metres (nearly 000 feet), the boring instrument entered a bed of salt clay, and, immediately on withdrawing it, the water rose to the surface. Although mixed with the springs of fresh water met with in the course of the boring, the water at the surface was as salt as that of the sea. On being analysed it was found to contain 27 grammes (nearly an English ounce) of salt per litre or quart, with some traces of iron and bromium. The Municipal Council, on whose account the work has been performed, intend to line the well with a copper tube, so as to isolate the salt spring : when this shall have been done, the water will be much more saline than it is now. Even in its present state it is said to be superior to that of the baths of Carlsruhe and Wiesbaden. A few days ago, as a servant in a family at Mons, was entering with a lighted candle a cellar, in which a quantity of coals had been recently placed, and which had been kept shut, an explosion took place, and she was severely burnt in the face. The windows of the shop over the cellar were broken. It appears that, in this instance, the coals had given out a quantity of gas in their unignited state, a circumstance which is of rare occurrence. The Senate of Frankfort has forbidden the papers of that city from publishing the prices of the funds on Sundays. The manufactures of the city of Lyons consume annually 1,000,000 kilogrammes (2,000,0001 b.) of silk spun in different ways. It requires four cocoons, to pro duce one gramme of silk, and consequently, the con sumption at Lyons alone amounts to 4,400,200,000 co coons, each of which open an average measures 500 me tres or yards. Thus the silk-thread used in Lyons in one year, if joined in a continued line, would be equal to 14 times the distance of the earth from the sun, and and 5,494 times that of the earth from the moon, and 52,505 times the circumference of the earth at the equa tor, and 1,000 times the circumference of the moon. There are now in the roadstead of Toulon, the Friedland, 120, Jupiter, 84, Triton, 80, and Marengo, 80, besides other smaller vessels of war. A Toulon paper mentions that an officer, lately returned from Africa to that town, and lodging on the 4th floor of an hotel in the Place de Foin, became at tacked with mental alienation, and fancied himself con stantly pursued by Arabs. A few mornings since he went to the window, and by his agitation and noise ex cited the attention of the people of the house, but before any one could get into the room, he had thrown himself out, and fallen upon the balcony of the first floor, front ing the street. 8e was carried to the hospital, with both his thighs broken, and otherwise so sevely injured that no hopes of his life are entertained. A Vienna Correspondent writes, on 'the 3d inst., that two houses of that capital, of the first order, whose names, however, are not given, are threatened with a fate similar to that of Messrs. Steiner, Geymuller, and others. It is added that the main cause of the financial crisis in Austria is, that the bankers, hoping for a totally pacific te=rmination of the Eastern question, had specu lated largely for a rise, but the continuance of troubles in Bulgaria, and the still unsettled condition of Syria, have kept prices down, and occasioned enormous deficits. Various rumours were afloat in the Austrian capital as to the occurrence of troubles in several portions of the Turkish dominions, and the merchants of Trieste and Venice had applied to Government for some more light vessels to be despatched into the Archipelago and the Levant, to aid Admiral Bandiera in putting down the Greek pirates. Out of the 1,629 young men last drawn and ac cepted, for the army, from Paris and the Banlieue, 1,389 are able to read and write, 36 can read but not write, and 204 cannot do either. In addition to the above, 1,050 were drawn, but of these 261 were rejected as not being of sufficient height, and 789 on account of in firmities', The Jettfacti de Lot et Garonne says, " Serious dis orders have just broken out at St. Livrade, on occasion of the census being taken. It is stated that but for the courage of the municipal authorities and the firmness cif the Comptroller of Taxes, who was charged with the operation, the populace would have committed deplorable excesses. On intelligence of this arriving at Agen, the prefect took immediate Measures for repressing the dis order." The Memorial of Agen says that the Comptrol ler of Taxes was forced to quit St. Livrade and return to the former town, The authorities had ordered the ropes of the church belle to 118 ottt IR order to prevent the pc) , pie from sounding the tocsin; but they sealed the belfry; rung the bells; and broiight in the people &OM Ulf Heigh: beutheed, The nordeaux papers state that a detach ment of troops was despatched from that city to St. Liv rade at a very early hour on Wednesday morning. The Swiss journals give the following account of the annual meeting of the Helvetic Society of Natural Sciences, just held for the third time at Zurich : " Messrs. Zollinger and Meiss have offered to undertake to travel into Java and the Hispanic Peninsula, by sub scription. The President recommended the Society to charge itself with the enterprise. M. Lardy, of Lausanne, read a work on the means of remedying the disasters caused by avalanches, torrents, &c., in the Alps : it was referred to the Committee for the Relief of Sufferers from Inundation. On the subject of Cretinism, the Society resolved to apply to the Swiss Diet for its intervention and assistance in rendering the curative means recom mended more extensively useful than they can be by the charity of individuals. Altorf was named as the place for the next annual meeting, over which Dr. Lusser is to preside." In speaking with regret of the retirement of Mr. rancho from the British Consulship at Ostend, a Belgian journal reminds its readers of the services which that gentleman rendered to this country at the time of the Revolution, When, y pfotalring the necessary means ` of transport, he rescue from the fury of the populace t.., Dutch garrison at Ostend. The same journal mentions that Mr. Fauche has been a great traveller, and that to an extensive knowledge of political affairs and very agreeable manners, the late Consul unites so remarkable an aptitude for learning languages, that he speaks with ease all the idioms of Europe. The Government has made no answer to the ac counts from Toulon, which announced the speedy eva cuation of the hosital, which the Spaniards had autho rised us to estabhsh at Mahon. A letter from Toulon, of the 9th, informs us, that is certain that the ho s p ital is going to b e evacuated, if it had not already been done.

" Who runs may retid." rOREIGN. Public opinion in France, so far as it can be gathered from the journals, is opposed to the regency of Espartero in Spain. All the secret influence of the Tuileries is exerted in support of the pretensions of Queen Christina and her faction. Intrigues are carried on in Paris, in Lisbon, and in Rome, for the restoration of Christina, and the abolition of the Constitution. The Absolutists and the Priests are moving heaven and earth against Spanish freedom. In this great emer gency it would ba disgraceful to England were her unqualified support withheld from the gallant soldier who acheived the freedom of the Spanish nation. The Absolutists are said to have made converts of Donna Maria of Portugal and her Illustrious Consort. The recognition of their Majesties by the Pope and the Northern Powers has had a wonderful effect upon their political opinions. The Constitution is no longer a topic of fashionable conversation at the Court of Lisbon. It is believed that but for a dread of Espartero and the Spa nish Liberals the Government of Portugal would make another attempt to restore the Charter. There is every prospect of the crops in the 'West In dies being very abundant this year. "Not, Guilty." The proceedings against Lord Grantley stand over till Tuesday. SPORTING. The Annual Regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron commences this day at Cowes. T~€LATgZTCAL. Her Majesty, Queen Adelaide, the Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta, visited the Opera on Saturday night. -7- M. Musard is engaged to conduct the Promenade Concerts, at the English Opera House, for the winter season. Sir F. Chantray is now in Exeter, directing the fixing, in the Cathedral, of a monument to the memory of Northcote, executed by him. counT--FASEXONAZLES. Lord J. Russell will give a full dress Parliamentary dinner on Monday next. The Queen Dowager will visit the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir about the 15th Sept. The Duke of Devonshire has gone on a tour to Ger many, and is expected to be absent about six months. Ead Spencer is expected at Spencer House in a few days. Her Majesty and suite were greatly alarmed on Sa turday when proceeding in the neighbourhood of Virginia Water, from one of the ponies in the photon of Lord Errol taking fright. Prince Albert acted with great deci sion on the occasion. The interesting particulars will be found in another part of the paper. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald thus remarks on the announce ment that Lord Spencer intends to move the Address in the House of Lords:—" Lord Spencer can do his friends no good by the forthcoming display, and most assuredly he will be personally seen to far less advantage than he was the other day at the Liverpool agricultural meeting." In a preceding paragraph our Contemporary states that Lord Spencer " despised and deserted the Whigs"—a glaring inconsistency, to say nothing of its utter impro bability, for what statesman would allow himself to be drawn from his voluntary retirement, in order to assist those whom he " despised" and had " deserted ?" The Times insists that Ministers will be guilty of " a high misdemeanor," if they attempt again to force forward their " obnoxious Budget;" observing, " When the Sovereign dismisses an Administration for measures dis • approved by the country, the constitutional construction of that proceeding is, that the obnoxious measures are abandoned, and that the Sovereign is entirely free to take other steps more consistent with the opinion of the people. The suceassors whom the country brings in have a right to expect that the Sovereign is prepared to act upon their advice in general, and mere particularly in the specific matter on which the decision of the country has thus been taken." If the broad and intelligent ciples on which the Whig Budget was based, are to be altogether thrown overboard by the Tories, as the Times proposes—if monopoly is to be continued, and free trade to be scouted as a delusion—how do Sir R. Peel and his party propose to relieve the distresses of the country ? Do they mean to rest satisfied with the Prayers of the Church for a more prosperous state of things, or trust from day to day to the expediency system ? If so, they will very soon find themselves freezing again in the arctic regions of Opposition. The Chronicle states that Sir Robert Peel " has precluded himself from introducing a Liberal Budget,' , and that " no satisfactory adjustment can be expected from him." We judged as much from the studied re serve he has continued to maintain on the subject of any remedial measures; but what will the country say to a Tory Budget based on the Vansittart and Goulburn principles of humbug and chicanery ? A very few weeks will suffice to solve this momentous problem. Our Con temporary truly adds, that " Parliament cannot possibly postpone a discussion on the corn question till February.'' The Post, in an article on the subject of the Church, remarks as follows :—" We do not wish to deny or to disparage the exertions of Christian teachers who are without the pale of the Church of England ; but as practical and patient observers of what goes on in the business of life, we are unable to have confidence in the good effect upon the social community of their unautho rised superintendence." The reasoning of this is, that. none are capable of instructing, elevating. and refining the character of the people, but those who are strictly orthodox members of the Church of England. All with out the pale of the Establishment must necessarily be ignorant pretenders, whose lessons will do more harm than good. Verily, this is being more orthodox than Episcopacy itself ! —• We quote the following from the Leeds Times:— " Lord Egerton's yeomanry scheme is put by for the pre sent. If this weather continues, Lord Francis and many others must set their houses in order. Their fate is sealed. It is dreadful to contemplate the consequences of their pig-headed pride and selfishness. They fight against God, against the laws of the Creator." The Dublin Evening Post says with reference to a recent article in the Times, on the subject of Ireland : "Let Sir Robert Peel take care—some of the armed men may be wanted for England. To be sure, soldiers are no answer to a clamour for food—yet the clamourers at home may find business for the soldiers. Most sincerely do we hope not. But it is, we must say, under correc tion, rather inconsiderate for the Times to menace Ire land with a military government, when troops may become Absolutely necessary to preserve the peace o Great Britain." The Cambrian thus remarks on the rumour that the Tories intend to make material alterations in the New Poor-law :—" We own that we cannot believe in the rumoured intentions of the Tories to tamper with this law. On the hustings and for electioneering pur poses, a few Ultras of the party may make a show of great commiseration for the poor, and of a determina tion to restore the old system ; but Peel and the mag nates must pause ere they saddle their estates with the Old katag. Tligy will have enough to do in the trying times that are at hand." —The Scotsman observes, in an article suggetted by the present state of the country :—" A very little reflection indeed will show that the crisis, for the country, is only now beginning, and that unless the Tory reign shall be brief, that crisis is fraught with the most serious alarm to the peace and prosperity, if not also to the freedom of the empire. Already something of the gloom of 1830 begins to loom again over the political horizon ; and can that memorable era be already forgotten." 'the Lieerpool Journal, speculating on Sir Peel ; S probable eontse of policy, remarks as follows : " Is Sir Robert reefs grand panacea to be merely a fol lowing out of the Quarterly lieeicidg advice to raze half the large towns in the kingdom to the ground, and dis perse the population over the rural districts ? If so, we may congratulate the squirearchy on the comfortable prospect they have before them. For the last twenty or thirty years they have regularly been drifting off their surplus farmers and labourers into the manufacturing towns, where ' most of them have been absorbed, The tide . must now be made to flow in the opposite direction." MONEY-TRADE-COIVIDIZRCE. At Manchester many failures are taking,place, and some are compounding with their creditors, but they will never be known to the world unless some untoward event reveals the secret. The print trade is dreadfully bad, and hands are only half employed, At Bradford the wool market is very dulls the yarn market is the same as usual ; the piece-market has done this week more than for several past weeks. —At Leeds the market has increased in briskness, and the sales have on some days been extensive. T ra jz, - 13olton begim to assume a Tell alarming appearance. Counterpaneg Meet with little demand quiltings are in a very low state ; the demand fof Mt e= lins is improved, but the prices are extremely low. One manufacturer is offering to reduce the wages of weavers as much as 35 per cent., although their present earnings barely afford them subsistence. NAVAL. AND MILITARY. The following vessels are ordered to be brought forward for commission :—L'Aigle, Volage, and Vixen, at Chatham ; North Star and Driver at Portsmouth ; Spartan and Cambrian at Plymouth ; and Styx at Sheerness. The Illustrious, 72, has been commissioned rot' the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, who will leave England about the Ist of next month to take his com mand on the West India Station. LAW AND POLICE. A man of property, of the name of Rowed, residing at No. 4, Upper Belgrave-place, was held to bail at Marlborough-street Police-office, on Saturday, in the sum of 5001., and two sureties of 250/. each, for improper e conduct towards a lad in Kensington-gardens, Sureties htaiaed for the gentleman, but and security were soon minor, and in poor C,: c .'" ras ta l l" the youth, being Id not find two sure was committed to prison, as he ties in the moderate stuns of 5001. each. At Bridgewater, on Friday, a man of the name of Tuner Was sentenced to transportation for ten years, for robbing a farmer living near Shopton Mallet of ISO/. He snatched the money out of the farmer's hand, then pretended to stuff it again into his pocket, and the farmer rode off, thinking all was right, till he was half way home, when ho fOOnct all was wrong, the notes having been transformed into en old newspaper , At Croydon Assi4es, on Saturday, the long-pending case of Pouter v,.

A. Morning Contemporary gives a most pompous account of a late South Durham Tory dinner, describing the " temporary pavilion" in the most inflated style, and observing, inter alia, that " the tables were ranged longitudinally, with a cross-table at the head of the room, a little elevated for the accommodation of the chairman," From the character of the speeches made at this dinner, we suspect that some of the company were " a little elevated," as Well as the cross-table ! Wynyard Hall, the residence of the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry, is undergoing extensive repairs to refit it for the occupation of the family. Lord Morpeth has accepted an invitation to a public entertainment from the Reformers of Ireland, which is to take place on the 9th of September. A dinner is also to be given to him by his late constituency in Yorkshire. EUIVEOU:I7.S or THE DAY. It is said that Sir It. Stoplord will assume the Go vernorship of Greenwich Hospital in- the course of the ensuing week. We understand that Sir Robert Peel, emulous of the notoriety of the boy Jones, is resolved, at all hazards, to force his way into Buckingham Palace. Ministers are resolved to have an ample discussion of of the Budget, including, of course, the taxes on corn, sugar, and timber ; and the Tories being afraid of the effect of important disclosures in these critical times, are making vast preparations to smother the debate. Will the tyrant majority gag her Majesty's Ministers ? And if they do, will the public consider the danger the less because it is concealed ? Tacitus would have decided in the contrary way. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. The Moniteur of yesterday announces that a seditious movement, similar to that which took place at St. Liveade, had broken out at Villeneuve d'Agen, and caused serious disorders. The mail coach had been stopped and robbed, and the Sub-Prefect, having no force but the gendarmerie at his disposal, was obliged to seek refuge in the central prison. A barricade had been erected on the bridge, and the communication between the two banks of the river was for a moment interrupted. A telegraphic despatch received in Paris on Saturday, announced that the inhabitants had sent a deputation to the Prefect to implore his clemency, having previously removed the barricade, and re-established the communi cations. The Memorial Bordelais of the 12th announces, that a battalion of the 10th regiment left Bordeaux in the night for Villeneuve d'Agen. The operations of the census were resumed at Livourna on the 12th. The National publishes a resolution adopted by the Municipal Council of Paris on the 14th ult., in which the fiscal measures ordered by M. Humann are declared unusual, intolerable, and anti-municipal. The weather still continued fine at Paris ; but the reports from the provinces were not so favourable as in the beginning of the week. The Three per Cents. were done in Paris on Sunday at 77k 70c. SPAIN. -- - Accounts from Madrid of the Bth state that the affair of the seizure of the Spanish boat off Algesiras, by English seamen, had been satisfactorily explained by the authorities of Gibraltar. GE RMAN Y . The Frankfort Journal announces the failure of the principal banking house in Potsdam. A considerable rise in the price of wheat took place at Dantzic on the 2d inst. The Angsburgh Gazette of the 12th inst. states that the Duke of Bordeaux's accident had at first caused con siderable anxiety amongst his friends, but that the cele brated surgeons, Steinmapler and Berrers, had assured the Duchess of Berri that a perfect cure might be ex pected. The Prussian Gazette of the 12th contains an ukase of the Emperor of Russia, commanding a levy of five men out of every 1,000 in the provinces of the Elu,t, ex cepting, however, the districts which had suffered from bad crops. TURKEY. According to letters from the frontiers of Turkey of the Ist inst., an insurrectionary spirit prevailed among the population of Galatz, and the Government of Moldavia had deemed it expedient to send a Hettman to Jassy with unlimited powers to act against the in habitahts in case they raised the standard of revolt. Mehemet Ali has been officially charged by the Sultan to reconquer the Holy Cities, which fell into the hands of the Arabs after their evacuation by the Egyptians. An able communication, addressed to " English Mechanics," will be found in another column. We have received the name of the writer, and publish with much pleasure an Address so creditable to a mechanical la bourer. EXTENSION OF POST-OFFICE DISTRIBUTION.—We understand that measures are now in progress for effect ing a very considerable and beneficial extension of Post office distribution in the rural districts. The principle which has been adopted is, we are informed, to establish a Post-fyfliee in every Registrar's district which is at pre sent without erne, an arrangement under which it is said about 400 places, many of which arc now ten, and some even twenty miles from any Post-office, will for the first time enjoy all the conveniences of communication by post. lIAMBCRGII MAIL. BERLIN, Atitf. 9.—it has caused some surprise here that Baron Von Bulow, almost ilpmediately after his arrival from London, w hen he had se.:arcely recovered from the fatigues of his vo y a g e in the store: v weather of t o hi s ji",,,• the 18th and 1 9th of July , has g one destina tion at Frankfort, to enter on his functions as rep,•esen tative of Prussia in the German Diet. Two things, it .is said, are the chief motives ; viz., the discussion on the erection of the federal fortresses, and an agreement with the States of the Confederation for extending the liberty of the Press, which, as is well known, is chiefly restricted by the resolution of the Diet. As for the first point, it is high time that the fortresses, which for these 25 years, have existed on paper, should at length be really built, especially as some French Journals, .e. p. the National, still continue to prate about the frontiers of the Rhine, and it cannot be foreseen what effect the daily repetition may have on sensitive neighbours. Prussia is readyentitled to require that the stipula tion of the treaties of peace on this point shall be at length carried into effeC.!... Prussia, for its own inte festi and that of all GeOlany, has protected the Midas tend Lower Rhine by A chain of fortresses, and 6116 tkltforuled more than its duty as a member of the Confedel'ation. But, these costly works lose a great part of ,teir tolue, if Gerioany is open on the Upper Rhine to attacks from the West. The other question, that of extending the liberty of the press, js of equal importance. It is well, however, that our King has expressed himself very favourably on this subject, and it remains to be decided in what manner the object is to be obtained.
