LONDON: TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1841. There is an end of the Whig Ministry. Lord MEL BOURNE in the House of Peers, and Lord JOHN Rus- SELL in the House of Commons, yesterday announced its dissolution. Though we have frequently felt it to be our duty to censure their acts, we cannot deny that we see their departure from office with considerable regret. If they were not the wisest, discreetest, best Ministry, that ever stood at the helm, we compare them rather with their successors than with an abstract idea of per fection, and we dread what is to come. We have no partiality for what is called a strong Go vernment, which means some man, or men, endowed with a strong will, profiting by the obedience of mankind, ruthlessly to carry out a theory, and crushing by their help ail the interests and affections which stand in the way. NAPOLEON'S was a strong Government, but he was dethroned and exiled. The Duke of WEL. LINGTON'S was a strong Government, but' he was obliged somewhat ignominiously to give up office,. The country can at present ill exchange the mild care lessness of Lord MELnouaNE, and the easy firmness of Lord JoHN RussELL, for the vice-like gripe of Sir Ro- BERT PEEL and the tiger-lik e spring of my Lord STANLEY. Backed by the army of monopolists, whose tools they are, and stooping to do their bidding, that they may be the :more powerful, these statesmen will forma strong Government, intent on enforcing wrong and unjust principles. But the stronger and more overbearing i s eel). a Government of monopolists, the greate r must be t .me friction with society, and the sooner will it end in f , oine terrible catastrophe. The causes which have brought about the fall of the Whigs, lie within themselves. Their power was essen - iially deriAd from the people ; but when they obtained favour of the Crown, they turned their backs on their :ends, and sought to hold office by the help of the oli garchy and the priesthood, who never forgive them the 4/estruction of the Boroughmongering Parliament, and Lr, whom, by this deference, they gave the means to de stroy them. This was the capital error of the Whigs. Thereto must be added, which is common to all statesmen of our (lay, too much reliance on e,iisting institutions, con siderable ignorance of the natural laws which dictate be progress of, society, and,hence the Want of any com rizenonsive and great plan of policy. Their principles ot Government were not settled and determined from a oombined view of what was due to institutions, and ~,-hat living society demanded. They did not adjust the • .;val claims of the past and the future. • They ere ;;ccarclingly one d ay f or concession and another for tr, re ,,istance—now expounding the largest principles of Reform, and then giving us the least possible portion Hof it, or even disgusti ng their fol!owers I.;y . peaching Inc hateful doctrine of finality. 'We must look at their co.edeet a 7; mel expected ~ r ve their party, and as - Ma:Liters o f the CrOWto .ound to promote the public benefit. Ito this later -opacity, considering the divei - ,iity of views which revail as to 102 - .Hation, those Ministers per !taps best perform their duty who administer cue laws as they find them, wit.hont attemptiog altera tions, except they be like the Cern-laws, glaringly and palpably unjust. In the opinl:,)n, however, of most per sow, the Ministers have sinned against their duty to the public by not promoting more extensive schemes of le gislative improvement. Some excuse may ba found for them in the youth of the QUEEN. WILLIA7.II the FOURTH was a mature, and even an aged man, when he gave Parliamentary. Reform. The QUEEN is yet too young to .have very clear and de cided opinions on such subjects, and her tutor might find in that circumstance an obligation to effect as few changes as possible till 11,:r MAJESTY was able to judge for herself. Considering this circumstance, the strong force opposed to them, and, still more, considering that --- Lord Joux RUSSELL has declared it was their conscien tious opinions that further organic reforms should not be granted, we are inclined to suppose that, as Ministers of the Crown, , they conceived , that they did their duty by not urging for Ward large legislative improvements. They have failed, in our, 4 ,opinion, much more as chiefs of one of the great parties of the State, than as Ministers of the Crown. Behold Sir E. PEEL. He cares not 'an atom either for the Crown or the public, except as caring for both serves the, purposes of his party. He takes no step, he utters no sentence, without h av i ng th e suc cess of his party in view. To build up that, to add to it additional buttresses, to lop off over-hanging etere cencies, to mo&rate the ardour of some, to stimulate the exertions of others, to form a homogeneous corps of well trained troops, each man, , both in the H ouse an d t h e country being disciplined almost like a body of Jesuits, to promote the success of the Tories, has been the great object of his study from the moment that he told his friends to watch the registration till he kissed her. MAJESTY'S hand on accepting office yesterday. • The Whigs have not pursued a similar course. They have taken no pains whatever to build up their party. They have not even disposed of their patro nage judiciously for that end. They have attended neither to discipline within doors, nor to in fluence without. They have given registration to the winds. They have, in fact, had no head, and each de partment has been administered rather to serve the pri vet) friends of the Ministers than form and strengthen a homogeneous party of Whigs. A strong-minded chief, keeping in check the crotchets of some, and stimulating the indolence of others, would, never have had his ranks f orsa k en by one man of talent, but crowds of aspirants would have been anxieus to enter them. The reverse has been the case with Lord MELBOURNE ; and if the Ministers have neglected thair duty to the public, they have altogether forgotten their duty to their party. • They wanted an efficient, ambitious, and vigorous party chief. Lord MELBOURNE never was, and, by na ture, never could be, fit for such a post. His sincerity and good nature unfitted him for the office. This made him yield to his oppponents— that made him affront those whom it was incumbent on him to please and gain. Nor is Lord J. RUSSELL different. Had he kept the good of his party in view he would never have affronted Mr. WAKLEY by an ill-timed sarcasm, nor would Lord MELBOURNE have been forward to disclaim all the support the Manchester Conference was calcu- . lated; if judiciously dwelt upon, to give to the Whip, and the measures they had brought forward. The Whits, then, we conclude, have lost their power rather from in judicious party management than from improperly admi nistering public Alrairs. The new Government is now to be formed, and gentle :nen regard this as a great event. They speak of it in a solemn undertaker kind of tone, with affected gravity, as if some dear friend or parent had departed this world fir ever, whom they were to know no more, but by his heritage. A sense of great responsibility appears all at once to overwhelm them, and they seem willing to forego the possession of the estate, could they restore the de parted to life. But what seems so awful to them is for the public at large a matter almost of indifference— -one set of gentlemen are shoved into the places of another. It is a change merely of names, not of things. No prin ciple is altered, no new measures are proposed. The Whigs cross hands with the Tories ; Lord J. RUSSELL compliments them for their gentlemanly opposition ; Lord STANLEY compliments Lord Jolts for his great talents and great perseverance, which are admired by all, and the people stare with astonishment to see the men they were told were fighting to the-death for some great principle, involving the fate of the country, only differ ing as to where they shall sit in the House of Commons; when that is determined, they are the best friends pos sil)le. They seem to laugh at the people as dupes. They have called them to take part in their mighty contest only apparently to tell them' in the end that they have been malcing•fools of the public. But are the Whigs and Tories quite so sure that the people will be made fools of ? The parties may have degraded the bread-Mx conflict to a dispute whether there shall be a fixed tax or a sliding scale ; but the people will not take that view of the question. With them it is bread-tax or no bread -tax, free trade or re- striction ; and notwithstanding the temporary success of the monopolists—notwithstanding the defeat of the Whigs—the cause of the people has made, by these party disputes, prodigious progress. The bulk of the• aristocracy, and the bulk of the priesthood, were againt us ; the party dispute has enlisted a large part of the former on our side. That itself is a prelude to victory. The "Whigs, free from the trammels of office, will be come bolder politicians. They must throw themselves more on the people ; they must form more decided prin ciples of Government; and;more comprehensive schemes of policy. They have come into the school of adversity to learn, and we look on their defeat as the forerunner of the complete success of free trade. There is something exceedingly chivalrous in the zeal with which the Constantinopolitan Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle endeavours to uphold the diplomatic character of Lord PoszsoNny. In justice to the Noble Lord, who certainly cannot complain of being deserted in his hour of official extremity by the most consistent advocate of his policy, we publish in another column the latest comment upon an article in The Sun received by our Contemporary from the Turkish capital. But we have now done with all controversy respecting the merits of Lord PONSONBY as a diplomatist. The Tories have settled that question for us. Though in a condition to refute with the greatest ease the plausibilities advanced by the Chronicle's Correspondent, we must now decline entering upon a task at once so useless and so invidious. We condemned the proceedings of Lord PONSONBY on public grounds alone ; and as his recal is no longer doubtful, we have now no cause for disturbing that repose which Ministers are supposed to seek in private life, and which no person in any station can more luxuriously enjoy than the Right Hon. Lord PONSONBY. AA, must be extremely gratifying to the Anti-Bread-tax League, to observe that their new champion in the House of Commons, Mr. COBDEN, has at once earned for himself the'notice and abuse of the Tory journals. The Post of Friday, which rates other journals for their vulgarity, being itself a most courteous gentlewoman, implies that he is an idiot for asserting that the family of a man of two hundred thousand per year expends no more for bread than the family of the common labourer. The Post should examine if the assertion be correct before it abuses the gentleman who, the Post asserts, mak ,...4 - it. Of course neither Mr. COBDEN, nor ae - meant to assert, or, in fact, did assert, -f e pli one , m seems to be a mist a k e o f else, tor the ' criticised by the P os t i s no t f oe ._ ' .. A1 in oth er papers, and its Own Reverter—that a la bourer, whose family cone of con seven persons; hi mse lf, his wife, and five children, expends as much on bread as is expenLed to supply bread for a nobleman's house hold, re . onsisting of himself, his lady, five children, and at 'Ails different mansions two hundred servants and re tainers. These are expressly excluded from considera tion, because being luxuries which the nobleman might dispense with, if they were included, his horses and dogs, who consume a portion of agricultural produce, and the tradesmen he employs, who do the like, and on whom a portion of his income is expended, should also be included. The question is not how . a nobleman or how a la bourer expends his income, but what portion of the bread-tax is paid by the nobleman and by the labourer, on his own and on his families—his wife and ehildren's COlLsualption.__ There is--.d 3 idiotcy, we can assure the Post, in assertin Cult the lab ourer pap; as much, or more g, of the bread-tax, in this s uttee , th an the e bre a d es nobleman The latter consum clemparatively b ut littl, and feeds himself end Ms family on a great variety of articles, such a,s r eserved f ru i ts, felloeolate, m accaron i , w i ne, p which are . imported for use. The fcerint'ilvt"almost exclusively on bread, his on bread . and or potatoes, and if h e an d hi s f am il y do 'not consume more of th ese t h an are consumed by the nobleinan' e family, o f w h ose subsist ence the:; form only a portion, l et the Post judge how wrelchedly the labeurer and his. family must be fed. From our knowkdge of. the mode of livin g of the two families, we believe more bread is consumed by the labourer's fa mily than by that of the nobleman ; and consequently of the tax on this necessary of life, it is quite correct, and within bounds, to say, that the labourer pays as much, or more, than the man with two hundred thousand a year. One of the worst effects of the tax is the sevet'ity with which it falls on those, like day-labourers, whose iubsistenee congists chiefly, or almost exclusively, o f beead. The Times, with somewhat more courtesy than the Pao, condescends to examine some of Mr. COBDEN'S arguments. It admits their plausibility, and only essay s to refute them by ascribing to Mr. COBDEN what he itid uot say. "We do now compete with foreigners in the neutral market," said Mr. COBDEN, but that does not " throw overboard the danger to our trade from foreign competition." The competition of foreigners is daily becoming more dangerous, and from its great progress the greatest danger is apprehended in future. The Times infers from the fact, that we have hitherto been able to compete with foreigners; that the distress of our people arises from over -trading. We are sorry to see that once-enlightened Journal on economical subjects adopt this prejudice. Our merchants might fail from over-trading, as in 1837, but their over-trading is Oxtra work fi)r the people, and should, at least while it lasts, show itself in u greater demand for labour and higher wages. But over-trading here means that our manufacturers The Journal des Debuts of Sunday has a clever article in defence of the Cretan insurgents. Commisseration for the fate of the unhappy Cretans comes too late from such a quarter. The Debuts was one of the Journals in Earope whose sympathy for, the Cretans, and sup port of their righteous cause, was implored by the members of the old Committee of the Philo-Hellenic Society ; and yet during the period of their struggle for independence, not so much as a single column did that Jousnal devote to 'their defence before the august tribunal Jf the Great Powers chosen by the dretans as their Judges. But now that the struggle is over—now that the bravest leaders of the Candiote insurrection sleep the sleep of death in bloody shrouds—now that Turkish lust and rapine satiated—nosy that the spirit of Cretan independ ence, affrighted at .the spectacle of womch brutally violated, and children barbarously murdered, abandons in despair the hitherto unconquered range of the Spha kiote mountains—now that Crete subdued and bleed ' ing lies prostrate in chains at the feet of Turkey, the Debuts hypocritically approaches to bewail the mis fortules of a gallant but enslaved people ! As this ar ticle, however, is calculated to benefit a brave people, whose claims The Sun was the very first journal in Great Britain to advocate, we gladly make room for an extract from it : "Among all the Christian populations of the East (says the _Debats) none have suffered so much as the Cretans, and there is none whoSe insurrection can be better excused. Crete,in its ancient da y s, contain e d more than 1,200,000 inh a bi tants . U n d er the Venetians the po pulation was only 900,000, which were reduced to 600,000. when, after a war of five and twenty years, the island fell under the Turkish yoke. On the breaking out of the late Greek revolution there were only 300,000 inha bitants remaining in Crete, the result of 150 years' domination of the Turks ; for wherever the Turk reigns depopulation follows. Since the Greek revolution the inhabitants of Crete have dwindled down to 150,000, of which 100,000 are Greeks, 26,000 are Turks, and 24,000 are foreigners ; but these foreigners are chiefly Greeks, from the Morea or the lonian Isles. The cause of this lamentable decrease since 1820, is to be found in the war carried on by the Cretans against both the Sultan and :Mehemet Ali, and lastly in the op pressive character of Egyptian domination. The sad I em nant of a population of nearly one million and a half, reduced to 150,000, lately took up arms again, in order to avoid being systematically destroyed by inches. They preferred to die with arms in their hands than to perish methodically. But this unfortunate race has again been brought under the subjugation of its old and cruel op pressors the Turks, whose yoke weighs upon the east with a ruthless indifference to the well-being of their subjects, for they have everywhere depopulated the country, and inflicted sterility on the most fruitful fields." This is no bad picture of the disease. The Dcbats remedy, which we also quote, is just what we,stiggested when we recommended the Christian inhabitants of the Island of Crete to be placed under the joint protection of the Great Powers of Europe. We cannot too strongly recommend it to the attention of European statesmen and philanthropists : " It istimpossible to make two races inimical to each other live together in harmony, each having its distinct laws, its own language, and its own faith. What Na ture has separated, let an Administration maintain peaceably separate. Separation or extermination, there is no medium. But are the Turks to be exterminated ? We say no—the fana/,sism of the crusades is gone by. Are the Greeks theilli4b be exterminated ? Assuredly no. Europe would not allow it, and Turkey cannot effect it. What then is to be done ? Guarantee to the Chris tian race, subject to the Turkish Government, a separate Administration, under which it may live secure and pro tected. " We recommend this subject to the Governments of Europe. Humanity has a great end in view, and diplo macy may reap everlasting praise." Something must be done beyond the promulgation of the mere letter of the Hatti Scheriff to relieve the Chris tian subjects of the Porte from the oppression under which they have so long' groaned. The world has had ample experience of the incompatibility of the Mos lem creed with ,the progress of an advanced and ever-advancing civilization. Why this is so we shall take some future opportunity of discussing, as the subject is too comprehensive for our present limits. Respecting the indubitableness of the fact there can hardly be two opinions among men of any deep reflection. Yesterday's Express from Paris enabled us to antici pate the ordinary news in the French Journals of Sun day. The following extracts are not, however, without interest : Our Madrid correspondence of the 20th inst. says, that one of the difficulties to the raising of the new loan; on the part of the capitalists, is; that Government will not give them a general guarantee from all the salt duties of the kingdom collectively, and only offer pa; ial grants for particular provinces: The Comereto states, that since the Custom-house Coast-guard have been ordered to be more strict in looking after smugglers, they have succeeded in taking many good prises. It adds, that the Coast-guard intend to show extreme rigour to all foreign vessels of war (?) A Warsaw journal states that the Countess Malaclowu ska, nee Princes Sanguzko, having learned that the Go vernment had an intention of erecting a Roman Catholic church in the parish of Vola, proposed to th e aut h or i t i es to give 200,000 fl or i ns f or the building, on condition that it should bear the name of Saint Charles Borromeo. The Emperor granted this request, and desired Prince Paskewitsch to communicate it to the pious lady. The building will cost 350,000 florins, of which the Govern ment will pay the remaining 150,000 florins. The work, are ordered to commence immediately. At the last meeting of the Agricto,i • T':::,atoe: a Society of Lyons, a new ki n d o f dwarf ur 1 called the potato, was p resente d to the re - bean larger than a hazel -nut. embers. The root it not farinaceous sub s + , sod yield s a yellow and hi g hly - Tho skin is thin, th e l eaves, of the plant are all upon a small sca l e , an d rs uB;h e L more delicate than the gammon potato. i fl t o ;3 flo w ers, An old man, who had long been porter at the esta blishment of the Afoot de Piete, Rue du Paradis, died suddenly the other day. His wages were only 1,200 f. tt year, but his income was augmented by trifling fees, which persons resorting to that place used to give him for many little services which he had it in his power to render. On examining into his affairs, he was found to be worth 32,000 f. per annum. The day before his death he had received six sous as a gratuity from a person who had come to pledge some property. The Sentineli3 de I t Marine, published at Toulon, says t--" The sick at Mahon are most of them removed to Port Vendre, whence they are sent to Montpillier, and great exertions are making, to prepare at Ilyeres the building which is to receive 120 convalescent patients." The Gregeois packet has arrived to-day. It brings from Mahon the last of the sick who were in the hos pital. The Gregeois was to go to Cette, but the north. west wind obliged it to put into Toulon, where it landed the grit, The Trieland which had run aground on a shoal at the point of the Grosse Tour has• got off again after throwing its water overboard, of which it will take in a fresh supply in the port. The Court of Cessation was to have heard yesterday islicatppeal of the Attorney-General of the Royal Tri bunal of Toulouse, with a view to get a different exa mining Judge appointed in the proceeding against Messrs. Arzac Cuse and Roaldes. At the moment when M. Bresson was preparing to report on the case, M. Delapalme, the Advocate-General requested that the affair might be deferred till Friday next, which the Court granted. The editors of the eight journals seized on Sunday were summoned the day before yesterday before Belloche the examining Judge. The Temps, giving an account of what passed on the occasion, says—" All that we can infer from the questions put to our Editor is, that our number of the 22d is not criminated on' account of the article which it contains, but on account of the heading of the article, which was • Retrait du Becensement.' " Le Commerce, i t SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—Thi3 morning, be tween nine arid ton o'clock, a man named Peter Adams, ' in the employ of Messrs. Brown and Co., brewers, Pro vost-street, City-road, was following his occupation of atteiiding the copper, and whilst standing upon the lat ter, in the act of pushing open a window, for the pur pose of letting out the steam, the pocr fellow slipped into it, and was instantly immersed V his midlie in the boil incrliquid. He, however, lost no time in scrambling out of truly horrible situation, and his fellow -workmen assisted in dragging from his person his lower garments. Medical aid was promptly obtained, and the scalds hav ing been dressed he was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he remains in a deplorable state.

" We learn' from Rome," says the Moniteur Parisien, " that the Papal Government has just forbidden the reading in public of the Gazette de France. Until lately this was the only French journal permitted in the cafes and other public establishments at Rome.

Why can they not sell them ? The Corn-laws will not allow them to sell their goods . for food. Our people want food—the Americans and others want cottons and hardwares. The law forbids the Mutually advantageous exchange ; and the law .is the cause of what is called over-trading and distress. Mr. COBDEN is quite right, therefore, in looking to an extension of our trade as one of the beneficial consequences —not the sole one—to be expected from the abolition of the Corn-law. The Times, having now an inclination to make it up with the landowner, has written some of the common slang phrases in answer to Mr. COBDEN'S clear and masterly statement ; but it has not refuted anything he said. Mr. COBDEN, if we are not mistakenin the man, will go on and give opportunities enough to the Post to exert its petty talent of abuse, and to the Times to indulge in so phistical misrepresentations.

The -Ministerial explanations, and the pledge that no new taxes would be imposed without the consent of the Deputies, have quieted the public mind. Three -fourths of the inhabitants of Paris have already submitted to the measure. Queen Christina is reported in La Revue de Paris to have prevailed upon the King of the French to negotiate With the Spanish Government to permit the ex-Regent to correspond by letters with Queen Isabella and her sister. There can be little danger in this at present, as Queen Christina, during her guardianship of the infant Queen, was so regardless of her education, that the Sovereign of Spain and the Indies cannot yet write her Lname. It appears hard to restrict a mother's corres pondence with her children, but when a mother volun tarily divests herself of that sacred character for that of a State-intriguer and anti-Constitutional Revolutionist, the welfare of the country is paramount to all private individual considerations. Better a bad mother should shed tears than that a nation should weep blood. We, hoWever, doubt the truth of such a report altogether. The defeat of the Whig Ministry on the Address was known in Paris on Sunday night. The speech of Sir Robert Peel was regarded by the Court organs 'as the forerunner of more amicable relations between France and England. The projected Customs Union • between France and Belgium is abandoned for the present. The praises bestowed by the English Journals on M. Guizot's speech at Lisieux - have provoked the indigna tion of the French opposition Press. They will have it that such is our hatred of France that we praise only those Frenchmen who are traitors to their country. How proud then our contemptuous disregard of them selves must make them I Happy country, where a man to reap the rich harvest of patriotism has only to say " all my neighbours detest and abuse me !" The Royal Family of France arrived at St. Cloud from Eu, in Normandy, on Sunday'. The King and Queen of the Belgians were to follow on Monday. On the 23d inst. the Spanish Government withdrew the Bill for authorizing the sale of the islands of Anna bon and Fernando Fo to Great Britain. It appears that Spain has found other means of meeting the demands of the British Government without alienating these islands. Have they been supplied by France ? The French Jour nals cannot wonder if we ask such a question, after their remarks upon the share England is supposed to have had in compelling France to abandon Minorca. Espartero was prevented by illness from closing the session of the Cortes on the 24th inst. The Regent is so frequently ill, that we are surprised at his riot rather desiring to have some person of a more robust frame associated with him in the cares of the Supreme Execu tive GOvernment. The war halted for him while the Commander-in- Chief of a kingdom's armies ; but it is of more importance to the welfare of mankind when jus tice is compelled to regulate her : Movements by the stop watch of a Regent's physician. The Candiotes complain that they have been betrayed by the captains of the English vessels, on board of which they sought refuge. The Grand Schariff of Mecca has sent an - Envoy to the Porte, offering to submit to the Sultan if his past re bellion be pardoned. He is at the head of 60,000 Be douin Ara A chief at the head of such a force may be sure that bri • petition for pardon will not be cast aside without many an anxious perusal. The Divan, in read ing it, will feel much akin to young Gil Blas when pe titioned forsilms by the wooden-legged beggar from be hind a cocked blunderbuss.. PARLIANZEINT.A.Mr. Viscount Melbourne, on the Peers assembling last evening, communicated to their Lordships that he and his colleagues, in consequence of the votes of the two Houses of Parliament, had tendered their resignations, which had been accepted, and they only held office till their successors were appointed. 7 The Marquis of Normanby withdrew the Drainage of Towns Bill. The Borough Improvement and Building Regulations Bills were read a third time. The Admi nistration of Justice Bill was tread a second tirne. The Lord Chancellor introduced a Bill to indemnify some Noble Lord who had incurred penaltiekby neglect ing to subscribe the roll of Parliament when he took the oaths. Would any other person but a Lord be indemni fied for vielating . the law ? In the Qumtnons Mr. Sharman Crawford presented a p'etition, praying that the House of *Commons might be dissolved and sent to the people, not the electors, for re election. A significant sign. Lord Marcus Hill having presented the answer to the Address, which stated that her Majesty would imme. diately take measures to form a new Administration, Lord J. Russell annonnced the resignation of Ministers, following that up by several observations. Lord Stanley complimented the Ministers on the goodness of their lives mild the decency of their death. He found fault, however, with the manner in which the Queen's name had been used in the Speech. .Lord J. Russell said emphatically that the Speech was, like all Royal Speeches, the Speech of thn After some petty obsertatitms by Mr. Stewart Wortley, and . Some rontin, Isntiness, t 6 House, as did the House of Lords, adjourned to next Monday, PUfILZ opnwzoltri The Morning Herald a.eettto Lute! 11Itthailine whil ign to a hr t e i a o . fe n .) i r n e n ibt brings style, forward ie o , f rads Lordswhiii his pzzceeding want of gentility , in not making a s e t s p eec h nies echa rg last b e e t g q 4 h t : ° t i i ti e t :o l n a u g r in h C a s o t n r e e t r e s .. be seen by t h e f o ll ow i ng eAttaset s,--" His Lord s hip' s com munication was the stropltst Pant of othcial statement, and only, th ete fi a r t , hot indecorous.

We are not aware of any particular courtesy owing by Lord Melbourne as a public man to the House of Lords. They have never shown themselves friendly to his Government, but, on the contrary, h ate a l ways opposed it to th e utmost of theif PbWet without the s li g ht t m ohitiohy, und e r such circumstances, there fore, to show any extraordinary or elaborate courtesy to their Tory Lordships, would wear the aspect, not sin- I cerity, but studied mockery: The Adeottigor remarks ; In an :Miele an the subject of finan c ial Itelbtin I:_Jk Jfietlee detnaritli that the fruits of every tuttu's Industry should be guarded whist the en croachments of the tax-gatherer until after its owner has been provided 'with tit least the pfimary articles of sub • Sieittee, and with a portion also of the Ordinary comforts of life. These having been secured, the taxing process may justly enough fall upon the surplus ; because fall ing, as it then would fall ) . upon luxuries and superflui ties, its effects would be as Hale felt as they well could be. Just the reverse of this is the principle and opera tion of British taxation." And for this we h ave to thank the Tories, th e most persevering and ingenious tax-inventors recorded in modern history. This party are now in power, and they can only maintain them selves there by endeavouring to undo all that they have done for the last fifty years and "upwards. Having already repudiated the obnoxious name of Tories, they must now make all haste to repudiate its principles also, especially as regards the system of taxation. In reference to Lord Stanley's speech last night in the HouSe of Commons, the Chronicle says . :—" Lord Stan ley, for himself and for the Conservatives, has empha tically declared to the country, that they have turned out Lord John Russell because he was an able and faith ful servant of the Crown,. and an untiring pro mo t er o f the interests of the people. No other construgtion can be put upon his words. Free trade, they say, is a very good thing ; it is a very horrid thing for people to be distressed ; yet the Minister that would have promoted free trade, and the budget that was proposed to relieve distress, are alike discarded. They shrank from discus sion ; they out-voted the Ministry ; and now, when they have obstructed the measures, and turned out the men, Lord Stanley comes forward, and virtually con fesses, that men and measures were alike calculated to promote the highest interests of the nation." Whether in office and a member of his Cabinet, or only a volun teer supporter of it, we suspect that Sir Robert Peel will ere long find in_Lord Stanley the most embarrassing colleague he ever had to deal with. Never were two statesmen less fitted to work together. The one is all coldness and caution—the other is rash, impetuous, and cursed with a temper that constantly clouds his judg ment. Lord Stanley is as bold as Sir Robert Peel is ap prehensive ; and the boldness of the one like the fears and distrusts of th e o th er are always exhibited, at pre cisely the wrong season. • The Post observes with the coolest effrontery:—" The Conservative majority has been won against every in fluence but the honourable one of public approbation. For his position as a Minister, Sir Robert Peel is solely indebted to the favour and confidence of his Sovereign. For his position as leader of the majority of the House of Commons, he is indebted to the favour and confidence of the people who possess the elective franchise." This precious paragraph contains as many misstatements as sentences. In the first place, the Conservative majority was not won by the influence of public approbation, but by the sinister influence of the Chandos Clause; secondly, Sir Robert Peel is not indebted for his new position to the fitvdur and confidence of his Sovereign, but Co the necessities of her situation, which just now admit of no other alternative ; and thirdly, he is not lifted.into office on the shoulders of the people, but on the shoulders of the .monopolists and landowners, whose selfish interests he must consult, to the sacrifice of every other considera tion, otherwise out he goes, to freeze once again in the Polar s clime of Opposition. In an article on the subject of M‘Leod's case the Times expresses itself as follows :—" Do we insinuate, then, that without further ado Great Britain ought to proceed forthwith to enforce Mr. M'Leod's release at the point of the bayonet ? By no means. Heaven knows we are no advocates for war at any time ; nor would we ever have recourse to it, except as a dire ultimatum when all milder measures have failed. Measures of that description, how ever, have now been long tried. To the great indignity and disparagement of Great Britain, whose wrongs are at this moment unredressed, those measures have been frustrated, as the Americans aliedge, by an awkward technical anomaly in their republican constitution. We ask, therefore, what guarantee has Lord Palmerston re ceived that that anomaly, which makes so serious and unwarrantable an assault nuera international justice, shall un:c , ss a warr,Lilty of this description have been given, as evincing an honest anxiety both to atone for .MiLeod's detention, and to prevent the recurrence of any similar case, we do not see that anything has been done to satisfy the honour of this C.,14 . At the Central Criminal Court yesterday, John Miller, indicted for feloniously assaulting J. S. Fisher, a lad fifteen years of age, at the Custom House last Saturday week, was convicted and sentenced , to hard labour for one year. ' The Rev. Louis Waters, a Swiss Catholic Priest, re manded on a former occasion on a charge of obtaining money- under fraudulent pretences, was again brought before the Magistrate at Marlborough-street, when it was discovered that the unfortunate man was insane, and arrangements were made for - sending him back to Swit zerland. SPOUTING. On the Lammer-moors, the Cheviots, and other hills on the border, grouse shooting has been, for the most part, poor ; and this not from scarcity of birds, but their strength and wildness. The Duke of Rutland arrived at Longshawe, his shooting-lodge, in Derbyshite, on Thursday last. Grouse, in the Kendal preserves, is less abundant this year than heretofore, and much of the h eat h er h as withered, pin e d, an d died from frost or some other cause. The Dent Moors were once considered the best breeding ground in this part of the country, - - and on Whernside eight or ten brace might have been killed a-dad but now the Moors are barren, and a day's work on Whernside will scarcely bag a brace. On Grisdale Fell, once a fer tile field, there is not this year a single brood to be found. COUILT — FASIIIONAILLE. The indisposition of Viscount Beresford has taken a favourable turn, and we unders.and he has been pro nounced entirely out of danger by his medi c al a t ten d ants. The Duke of B ucc lettch has left Whitehall for Dal kei th palace. _ The Duke of Bedford has left town on a visit to the Duke of Rutland. The Earl and Countess of Minto leave the Admiralty at the close of the present . wcek, for their seat in Scotland. Lady Peel and illmily arrived in Whitehall Gardens last night, from Staffordshire. The Earl of Maccle: field still continues in a deplorable state of health. MISCELLANEOUS. On Saturday evening an inquest was held in St George's Hospital, on the body of Louisa Rockley, aged sixteen, a remarkably fine girl, daughter of Mr. William Rockley, upholsterer, No. 9, Mills's-buildings, High road, Knightsbridge, who was burned to death on Thursday evening. It appeared that her apron caught fire while she was standing in front of the copper fire, the door being open, and thereby increasing the draught of air. It was, according to the surgeon, the most shock ing case of the kind he had ever seen. The unfortunate girl, after severe suffering, expired in the hospital the next clay. It is generally acknoWledged that Brighton was never so full as at the present'time. Letters have been received in town stating that Mr. Justice Bosanquet is considerably improved in health. Lord John Russell was loudly cheered on his way down to the House yesterday afternoon, by the crowd tissetnbled in Palace-yard.. His Lordship was in a car riage, accompanied by his Lady. To-day is the anniversary of the death of John Bun -6 ya B n, author of the " Pil gr i m ' s P rogress, " who died in 1, 'he Rev: George Francis, of the Baptist Chapel, We.- terloo-foftd, Lasitheth, has been distrained on for church rates to the amount of les.

One hundred and fifty whales were caught on Satur day, the 22d inst., off Stromness. All the boats in the harbour, to the number of about 60, were put in requisi tion on the occasion. The whales average about et each, making the aggregate value of 4501. EX PRESS FROM PARIS FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY.—The census was being taken very quietly throughout France. Three-fourths of Paris has already undergone the treasure. The praise so unanimously bestowed on M. Guizot's speech by The l3titish press has become the occasion of some violent articles in the opposition papers of Paris. At the earnest desire of Queen Christina, says La Revue de Paris, King Louis Philippe is about to nego tiate with the Spanish Government for the withdrawing of the interdiction laid upon the young Queen Isabella, and the Infanta, her sister, from corresponding with ' their Royal mother. The defeat of the Whig Ministry was received by tele graph in Paris on Sunday night. It afforded general satisfaction to the Court organs. The speech of , Sir Robert Peel, which arrived this morning, confirms that feeling, and the small rise which has taken place in the funds is attributed to the proba bility of a More cordial feeling henceforth to subsist be tween the English and the French Governments. The idea of a customs union between France and Bel gium has been for some time abandoned by the French Government. The King, Queen, and the rest of the Royal Family arrived at St. Cloud on Sunday last. The Duke and Duchess of Orleans preceded their Majesties by a few hours, and the King and Queen of the Belgians were ex pected on Monday. Paris Bourse has slightly improved ; Five per Cents. 1161.45 c.; Three per Cents., 77f. 25c. ; Spanish, 21. country, but on the contrary, everything to defile and defy it." MONEY — TIZADE—COMITIZECE. At Edinburgh, on Monday last, the high-priced bakers raised the price of the 41b. loaf one halfpenny. It is now ninepence halfpenny ready money, or if paid within a month; and tenpence credit. Large shoals of the nutritious pilchard-fish have been seen off the Cornish coasts, and great quantities taken by the drift-boats. There is every promise of a suc cessful fishery. AGRICULTURAL. The weather at Cambridge has been heavenly; nine tenths of the wheat is cleared and carried, and the crop is above an average. From Gloucestershire, Worcester shire, Northamptonshire, and Windsor, the same de lightful accounts have arrived. At the beginning of last week, a heavy thunder-storm, with rain, passed over Lancashire and C'heshire, and did much damage ; but since then there has been splendid weather. At Bradford, on the cold lands of the east, fear is entertained that the quantity of wet fallen will make crops fall short of the average. N.FIVAL IIND MILITARY. The Hardy steamer, which sank off Wapping on Sun= day with two hundred persons on board, was raised yesterday. The 'vessel has received considerable damage. It is ascertained that the accident was caused entirely by the anchor of the brig Marmion, which, it is said, was without a buoy. LAW AM) PO:LIG:M. At the Liverpool Assizes, on the 27th . August, James White, charged with the murder of William - Cranmer, keeper of an improper house in that town, was convicted of the manslaughter, and sentenced to be transported for life. In the civil side, the Apothecaries Company in Lon don obtained a verdict against Henry Greenaugh, of St. Helen's, for having practised as any apothecary, not being duly licensed—damages, 2C/. The case had been' heard at a former Assizes, and the ruling of the Judge was afterwards reversed by the Court above, who were of opinion that the preparing and dispensing of medicine by chetnists and druggists meant the preparing and dis pensing from prescriptions previously given, and did not enable them to administer medicines on their own au thority. SPAIN. MADRID, AUG. 24.—Espartero was ill, and would not dose the session in person. • Accounts from Madrid of the 23d instant state, that the Minister for Foreign Affairs withdrew on that clay the Bill for the proposition to Great Britain of the islands of Annabon and Fernando Po. M. Gonzales justified the measure by stating that the Spanish Government, having found other means of fulfilling certain obligations which it had contracted towards England, had abandoned the project of alienating those islands. The Senate passed several Bills on the 23d, among which were the Military Pension Bill, by 65 to 119 ; the Bill authorizing the sale of clerical property, by 48 to 28 ; Mat of the Guadarama Canal, by 64 to 22 ; and that for the construction of the Legislative Palace, by 50.t0 26, _ . The transactions on Bourse on the 23d were very nu merous. The majority were bargains in the Five per Cents. at 60 days, varyinc , from 24 to 253- ; one cash transaction Was concluded at MADRID BOURSE, AUG. 24.—Five per Cents., 25 cash. GERMANY. - The Augsburg Gazette, under date, Vienna, 19th instant, observes, that the commercial panic in that city had completely subsided, that th e f un d s comman d a ten dency to rise, but that, nevertheless, speculation conti nued to be paralysed by the still unsettled aspect of af fairs in the East. The Hamburgh Gazette states, that, according to ac counts from Ems, the health of the King of Hanover was much improved, and that his Majesty and the here. ditary Prince would return to Hanover early in September. TURKEY. Advices from Constantinople announce the arrival in that capital of an Envoy •of the Grand Schariff of Mecca, Mohammed Ebn-Aun, who offered •to submit on condition that the Porte would confirm him in his Government. This envoy had been well received by the Divan, who, however, appeared inclined to leave the arrangement of the affair to Mehemet Ali. The Schariff was said to be at the head of 60,000 Bedouin cavalry. CANDIA. The Courrier Grec, Athens Journal, of the 12th ult., contains a lettcr from the chief of the last insurrection - in Candia, stating that having been betrayed by Eousses Bourdoum Fain, they had sought refuge' on board the English vessels ; that their intention was not to abandon the Candiotes, but that the English had carried them to the Piraeus, after having circulated the report of the failure of the insurrection along the coasts, and thereby ruined their taus,,.. Among the last fashionable arrivals in Paris we notice the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Lord Sheffield, and General Murray. ENTOMBMENT OF GENERAL HARRISON.— The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following description of the fins' resting place of the body of the late President :—." The tomb is a s , rnple ~ • ut luertly :.how, and Lone of ti e decorations of art. Its situut;uu is %et) beautiful, with ref( renee to either the river or the country in its rear. A few trees, of the original growth of the forest, stand around it.

It is stated that the- ironmasters in Staffordshire have • reduced the price of iron 10s. per ton. This is highly necessary, as competition on the Continent is daily in- creasing. A very important change seems on the eve of accomplish ment in the internal .trade of Canada, by the application of a new propelling powcr on the St. Lawrence, upon the principle of the screw. The following extract killbest explain the thing, though we think our Cana dian brethren have no reason to grudge us a change in our Corn-laws. It is stated that - De fur. another- 5un:::.....1-Ino4,,lapseci.. the _hulk vf._ Llie forwarding trade will be carried down from the farthest of the upper ports, direct to the Atlantic vessels. It' the Corn laws remain unaltered, and England still continues to afford us a market, the Canada _farmers will profit much by this new improvement. On the Western ports • of Lake Erie, and those of , Lake Huron up to Goderich, the cost of transport by the slow medium of schooners is almost too expensive fur profitable speculation. - A vessal propelled by the Ericson screw will make her voyage with regularity and despatch, and ensure the farthest settler of the north west the means of sending down his surplus wheat, if he have any, and afford inducements to the cultivation of millions of acres, now thought unworthy of being elearfid fin• the growth of grain.

The following Pretest against the Amencred Address agreed to by the House of Lords, has been drawn up and signed by the Duke of Sussex. It will, no doubt, receive the signatures of many other Peers favourable to free trade : DISSENTIENT. 5. Because the prosperity of a great manufacturing and commercial nation depends, in a great measure,. upon foreign trade and access to foreign markets. The multitude of restrictions iind prohibitions with which our tariff is encumbered, threw great obstacles in the way of trade, without any corresponding advantage to the reve nue,. and the system of excluding foreign produce has already had a most pr,e,judical effect in inducing those countries to encourage . native manufactures, and to re taliate by corresponding wstrictions upon British mer chandise. In the present state of our relations with other powers, it appears impocsible to persist longer in this restrictive system, without imminent danger of losing some of our best markets., Lastly, Because we think it oin' of the first duties of a Government to impose no unnecess,firy burdens upon the industrious classes. A system which excludes or im poses high duties on foreign produce, K'r the sake of pro tecting particular interests, violates this obligation on the one hand, by impeding the free course of industry, and, on the other, by enhancing artificially the cost of sub sistence. Under present circumstances, the maintenance of this system involves, in addition to those indirect burdens, the necessity of imposing a large amount of direct taxes to make good a deficiency in the revenue, which would not exist, if all the articles of consumption and iner chandise were admitted into our ports at moderate duces. LITERATURE. ' SIR H. CAVEiVDISITS DEBATES. Part IV Longman, London, 1841. The present Part of this curious and useful work contains the debates of the House of Corn mthoen ss,esassionrepoofrlte7. Burke, d 7o by Sir H. Coafvceonudrisseh: during figures prominently among the speakers, but his= speeches are seldom giVen but in outline, which is to be regretted , for no man ever expressed himself more eloquently or instructively on an matters connected with legislation. We find nisi) several of Lord North's speeches; but in vain w e look for that wit and sprightliness for which Wraxall and other of his contemporaries have ,assured us he was remarkable; nothing can be d u jer than the tone of his remarks, or more tho— roug4.l37 practical and business-like than their stibstanCe. Judging from the specimens of his , oratory before us, we should say that Lord North had no more, of the wag in his nature than Lord Althorp, whom no one was ever yet hardy enough to accue of a joke. Among the debates is that mernorablt one on the Remonstrance of the City of London* Jo the King, calling fbr the Dissolution of Parliirment and the Removal of Evil Ministers ; in the .course of which we find a spirited speech by Alch4inan Beckford, which Sir H. Cavendish has g i ve n very fully. and which proves him to have been a m an of more elo quence and political sagacity t,ian the world has generally given him credit fb.r being.

THE BRITISH QUEEN.--7This fine vessel, which, as our readers know, has been purchased by the Belgian Government, is so nearly ready for sea that sho will, it is expected, sail for Antwerp to-morrow. She is intencltd to ply between Antwerp and New York, calling off Cowes or Southampton, going and returning. By this means she will, it is anticipated, carry not only passengers to and from the Continent, but English pas sengers also.

The Mormons, says the Nova Scotian, have armed and organized, iu some parts of the Union, for purposes of defence. 1. Because we are adverse in principle to all restraints upon 'commerce. We consider that public prosperity is beg promoted by leaving the national industry to flow in its nataral free current ; and we think that practical measures . should be adopted to bring our commercial legislation buck to a straight and simple course of wis dom, instead of continuing a system of artificial and in jurious restriction. 2. Because we think that the great principle of leav ing commerce unfettered, applies more peculiarly, and on the highest ground of justice, to the trade in those articles which constitute the sustenance of the people. The experience of a quarter of a century has proved that the Corn-laws passed subsequently to the year 1815 have neither produced the plenty, the cheapness, the steadi ness of price, nor any of the other benefits anticipated by the advocates of those laws ; while, on the other hand, all the evil consequences predicted at the time by those opposed to monopoly have been realised. 3. Because the practical effect of the variable' scale of duties has been to introduce a system of speculative job bing and of fictitious sales, for the purpose of raising the averages, in order to enter corn at the minimum duties it is impossible, under this system, to ascertain whether sales are real or fictitious, and it is well known that dur ing the last two years the averages have been raised by bringing for sale, into the principal markets of the king dom, only the best qualities of corn, and that the inftrior grain has been withheld from those markets until the• high average price reduced the duties to minimum rates. 4. Because the inevitable effect of a system which ' prevents a regular trade in corn is to derange the course of commerce, whenever the accidents of the seasons oc casion a deficiency in the harvest. The fall of the fo reign exchanges and exports of bullion, consequent on a. sudden demand for large quantities of corn from coun tries with whom our restrictive laws preclude interchange in ordinary years, have already, on more than one occa eicrn-brotight tho banking iliiititUtiOllS of the country to the verge of bankruptcy, and occasioned general com mercial distress. ea , Ito lan, 111.r l d Art Ma SU'l , .
