For too long a period, unfortunately, they made common cause with the landlords, imitated their vices, and helped them to keep the lower classes in subjection. At present they begin to feel the horrors of being surrounded by an ill-remune rated population. Driven by the low price of goods, the little and the lessening demand for their productions, the cotton-masters at Stockport have lately re solved to offer the spinners a reduction of wages, amounting, as the spinners say in a placard which we have lying before us, to 171 per cent., or sixpence per thousand hanks. The masters will probably be able to carry this reduction into effect, because employment is slack, spinners numerous, and self-acting spin ning -mills, which dispense with the spinners, are daily coming more and more into use. But how are their efforts met by the spinners ? The placard, which has been circulated far and wide in the neighbourhood of Stockport, calls on the people " resolutely and determinedly, in one consolidated union to show all possible resistance to the aggressions which are attempted to be made upon the rights of industry." " Has not," it asks, " every effort been made from time to time by our employers to reduce our wages, un til they are so low as to bring us to the starvation point." " If the working-men," they say," submit, and allow them to take such advantages with impunity, they will set the example to other masters, and every workman is liable to suffer ultimately." " 'Working men," it concludes, " we call upon you, as you love yourselves, your wives and children, your country and posterity, to make one determined stand in behalf of right against might, of the weak against the strong, in behalf of hunger and starvation against tyranny and injustice. Shall it be said that we are willing laves; that we are willing for our children to be only half clothed and half fed, and our foreheads branded with the mark of slaves or in feriority ? 0 ! forbid it Heaven ! forbid it Justice I ! and above all, forbid it you, the working men of Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland ! !

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO -MORROW Mornine......3i minutes after 9 1 Evening 16 minutes after 10. more angry passions will be kindled, more crimes committed; and who will be to blame ? If we cannot wholly exonerate the masters and capi talists, who have too long been passive under an unjust tax, because they felt it less than the workmen, the chief blame must fall on the Clergy, who have done nothing to enlighten the legislators and teach them justice, but much to harden them in the legislative iniquity by which both Clergy and landlords have at least seemed to profit; and the chief blame must fall on the landowning lawmakers, who have continually made laws, as Lord STANLEY admitted, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM has unblushingly recommended, to raise rent at the expense of those who pay it. If it be painful, and even dreadful, as we think it must be to all these classes —capitalists, Clergy, and landlords—to live surrounded with a very poorly-remunerated and much-exasperated po pulation, they are already severely punished for their folly, avarice, and cruelty. The workmen cannot require to be informed that wages are settled by the higgling of the market, and that the capitalists have no more power to make them sell their labour for less than the market price, than they have to force the Americans to sell them cotton below that same price. Wages are the result of a bargain be tween the capitalist and the labourer, and with out sayinc , that there are no circumstances and no laws which give the capitalist an advantage in 1 making the bargain, it is clear that whatever tends to increase the demand for labour will en able the labourer to make a better bargain. Of all the laws which place the labourer at a dis advantage, none are so ruinous as the laws which raise the price and limit the supply of food; and of all the circumstances which increase the capi talists's power over the labourer, none are so efficacious in diminishing employment. The Corn-law, therefore, more than other laws, places the labourer at the mercy of the capitalist; and the spinners should, in the first instance, direct their energies to obtain a repeal 4 of the Corn-law. Till they have accomplished that they will object in vain to masters lowering wages, who act under the spur of necessity; and when they have accomplished that, they may, and will, by the landlords' help, if needed, command higher wages. Our purpose, however, is, not to preach to the spinners, which we know were a vain work, but to call the attention of the Legislature to the above facts, and remind it that it is resposible for all the misery, strife, and crime which may grow out of the dispute, and which exist in so 2iety. The Legislature sets out on the principle that it can prevent evil ; it makes an immense number of laws to attain this end ; it regulates, controuls, and hampers every part of society, and clearly makes itself responsible for all the misery and crime which exist. We have received a communication from a good Radical, which it is unnecessary to publish, taking a different view of Mr. WAKLEY'S con duct from that which we have taken. We have not, indeed, devoted much space to the Hon. Member, for we are not aware that his opinion individually is of great importance. As the re presentative, or misrepresentative, of the borough of Finsbury, we have seen him with regret sweeping away difficulties from the path of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The constituency of Finsbury can scarcely like to be made scavengers for the Tories, whatever may be the taste or disposition of Mr. WAKLEY. Mr. WAKLEY is for giving Sir ROBERT PEEL a fair trial. Why, Sir ROBERT is decidedly op posed to the repeal of the bread-tax ; Sir Ro- BERT took office to support that tax. He was carried into power by the monopolists; Mr. WAKLEY'S constituents are free traders. He is the servile instrument of the priesthood ; Mr. WAKLEY is supported by those who are hostile to the Church. Sir ROBERT PEEL is the de clared enemy of Extension of the Suffrage, of the Ballot, and of shortening Parliaments—he is the decided enemy of further organic change ; and how Mr. WAKLEY, who justly condemned Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S principle of finality, can show any favour to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S de termined Conservatism surpasses our compre hension. We cannot help Sir ROBERT PEEL being Prime Minister: the electors have so decided. We must submit to that evil, but it is something neu not to regard the triumph of our opponents as an evil, and glory in th e c h a i ns they impose. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S mere declaration of finality—to quiet his Whig friends, while, in fact, he always kept moving in his own di rect i on, and at his own speed—was bad, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S determination to remedy no abuse he can main tain by the help of a majority of corruptionists is detestable. To give him and the monopolists, the iniquitous bread-taxers, a fair trial, is like granting a notorious and detected pickpocket an opportunity of practising on the passers-by in th e placing him in the dock at th e street, instead of Old Bailey. If Mr.WAKLEY be sincere in avow ing Radical principles, his conduct in smoothing the way of the starvation and aristocratic Mi nisters is excessively silly. If he be not sincere the whole matter is explained, and it will only be necessary that he should, at least at the end of the year, as he promised-when -first elected, procure the sanction of the electors ct bury tbr his conduct, or resign hi 6 trust into their bands. The dinner given, on the 21st instant, by the inhabitants of Brighton to the Directors and the Engineer of the London and Brighton Rail way, is a just tribute to great enterprize, perse verance, and skill. Perhaps no line in the king dom of equal length exhibited so many difficul ties. It has five tunnels, two of ,them more than a mile each, making the tunnelling altoge ther more than three miles and a quarter. The principal shaft of one of them, the Clayton tunnel, is not less than 270 feet below the surface of the ground. Many of the cut tings are from 80 to 125 feet, and that at Mei stham not less than 180 feet deep. It has one magnificent viaduct, built at great ex pense, besides other great works, and this vast undertaking has been completed in little more than three years, and at less than twice the cost of Waterloo-bridge. Well might Mr. RAS TRICK, the engineer, on rising to make his short, modest speech, say, " I never in my life rose with prouder feelings than I do on this occasion." He had accomplished a great work, undismayed by the taunts of the ignorant public and difficulties in the line which he did not anticipate. To the Directors and Share holders, too, no little praise is due for the spirit with which they furnished means to carry out such an expensive national undertaking. We take some pride in the completion of this important railway, for this Journal, we be lieve, was the very first to point out this line, not only as a certain means of benefiting the town of Brighton, but also as one of the most direct lines of communication between the two great capitals of the world. The Directors, we trust, will now make the best use of the road for their own interest, as well as the good of the public, and this they might accomplish by a more liberal sys tem of management. The fares are still too high, and there should be a third-class train for labourers and other persons who cannot afford a week's wages for travelling only two or three hours. Brighton will not be injured, but, on the contrary, must be greatly benefited by the influx of strangers. Ramsgate and Margate have, in a manner, been created by the steamboats; property there has probably been trebled in value; and Brighton, if the management of the Directors be judicious, will enjoy the same results. The French journals of Wednesday are for the most part occupied with the question of the warfare which the Cabinet is now carrying on against the Opposition press. We have again and again condemned this persecution of the journals as most unwise on the part of the French Government. It operates ruinously upon the journals, without absolutely suppressing them, and therefore but increases the desperate rage of their conductors. To make even politi cians moderate, the right plan is to make them rich, instead of foolishly trying to make them pow. The fiercest patriotism is made fiercer by hunger. The tranquillity of the French capital was not disturbed on Tuesday night. Whether this wa owing to the arrest on Tuesday by the police of brace of traitorous old women, who ,were safely lodged in prison, we presume not to determine. They were both portresses, and a quantity of arms were found concealed in their respective re sidences. Louis PHILIPPE'S throne is indeed in danger when we find the old women conspiring to overthrow it. The Presse has a long article on the Eastern Question, the purport of which is to show that France is the only gainer by the Treaty of the 13th of July. We quote the following from the Univers " A severe discussion occurred' on Monday between the French and Belgian Commissioners, by which the negocia tions were in danger of being broken off. M. Humann, the Finance Minister, opposes ci ith pertinacity, all concessions as to the admission of iron, no matter how limited the quantity. Amongst the conees2ions proposed by the Belgian Commis sioners is the prohibition of the piracy of French literary works in Belgium. We are told that the Belgian Commis sioners are in a state of irritation which leaves little hope that the negotiations will end satisfactorily. We are assured, however, that their Majesties Louis Philip and Leopold agree better than their Ministers on these questions. The following words are said to have been uttered by one of the Ministers, National interests ought to prevail over those of a dynasty.' The Gazette des Tribenaux, which is usually well informed, has the following statement re lative to the intentions of the Cabinet : It has been reported that the Ministry, in consequence of recent events, is preparing several projects of law for next ses sion, It appears, in fact, that Government has announced its intention to lay two Bills before the Chambers. One for esta blishing in Africa a penal settlement, according to article 17 of the Penal Code; and another for repealing the amendments made by the law of 28th April, 1832, in articles 88 and 89 of the Penal Code, relating to attempts and conspiracies, and thereby restore to these articles their primitive text. The National says :--" After the seizure of our Journal yesterday and the day before, we received a summons to ap pear before the Court of Assize on the 2d of October. We have, in the first place, a trial coming on on Thurs day the 23d. The article which is going to be judged is dated so far back as the month of December last year."— Consti tutionnel. ALGIERS, SEPT. 13.—T0-day, at two o'clock in the after noon, a flotilla of steam-boats appeared in the horizon, which at four o'clock landed the 64th Regiment of the line. These were the Government steamers Cameleon, Papin, Velose, and Vautour, which quitted Port Vendres the day before yester day, and in 48 hours have brought this regiment, which cime from Perpignan. Few regiments arrive here with so much speed. These troops appeared to be in good health. It is to be re gretted at this season especially, that they will not have time to get used to the climate, for they are to take the field imme diately, but circumstances are urgent, and we are convinced that they will honourable acquit themselves in the important events of the approaching campaign. General Ruguard will set out on the 15th for Oran, where he is going to direct the op perations in person. General Baraquay d'Hilliers will proceed to revictual Medeah and Milianah, he will then return to Blidah to set out again with all the troops united. The convoy 'or revictualing those places will leave Algiers on the 22d, at in the morning. It is not [known whether General Bugu: H after returning from Milianah, will come back from Orar to take the command in chief, at all events the greatest secresv is observed, which is very proper. It is thought, however, that i he expedition will proceed towards the east. The Arabs, being informed that the campaign is about Ito open, begin to show themselves in our environs.

Up to two o'clock this afternoon the police had received no intelligence as to the body of Blexley having been picked up off Cuckold's Point, therefore the rumour which was in cir culation to that effect last evening, is most probably without foundation. Indeed, from a careful consideration of the evidence given last evening before the Coroner, it would appear that so far from Blexley having contemplated suicide, he made his arrangements with some ingenuity for the purpose of effect ing his escape. It appears that he took pains to ascertain accurately the period that would elapse while the watchman and the police were going their rounds, and that he managed to a nicety in obtaining the longest possible time to escape. It appears also, that after committing the murder, he went to the street-door and looked out, taking the knife with him, evidently for the purpose of self-defence, and seeing the street clear he ran back and threw the knife into the bar, because had he either taken it with him, or thrown it away in his flight, it might have led to his identification, or have afforded a clue to the road he had taken ; besides had he contemplated suicide he might easily have carried his intentions into effect with the same weapon with which he had immolated his victims. We therefore think it exceedingly probable that Blexley is still alive, and that these rumours have have been gut into circu lation by hi s f r i en d s f or the purpose of facilitating his escape by throwing the police off their guard, and rendering them less vigilant in seeking for him than they otherwise would be. Mrs. Blexley is still alive, but continues in a most dangerous state. HEREFORD, SEPT. 23.-(FROM A CORRE SPONDENT.)—In consequence of the failure of the Bath Bank, Mr. Hobhouse, the Liberal Member for this city, has expressed his intention to accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and vacate his seat for Hereford. A numerous meeting of Reformers, with Mr. Biggs in the Chair, was held on Wednesday evening, when it was unanimously resolved to propose another Radical candidate. The Conservatives are on the alert, but their chance is hopeless. Ro p 9 r e 9,Vti I '4 4 g AND Vit 4 Jitic 64)tvivan. " Who runs nzuy read." FOREIGN. The French opposition Journals, Republican and Legi timist, are unmeasured in the condemnation of the rigour with which the Government is carrying into effect. the September laws against the press. The Quotidienne, a Legitimist paper says :—" The seizures of Journals under the present Ministry multiply as if by enchant ment. We give the following list of the prosecutions against the press : though incomplete, it still is a curious one. The National 5 ; the Journal dtt Peuple counts them by dozens ; the Gazette de Frawe, 4 ' • the Quotidienne, 2 ; the Commerce, th e T emps , an d the Gazette des Tri hunaux, each 1. At Toulouse the editors of the Eman cipation and the Utilitaire have been imprisoned now a month, and are not yet brought up for trial. The Gazette of Languedoc has experienced one seizure ; the Gazette of Auvergne, 2 ; the Patriot of Macon, the Courrier de la Moselle, and the Journal de 1 Eure, 1 each. The Gazette du Dauphine was seized six months ago, and has not yet been tried. But still the ardent zeal of the Journal des Debats is far feom being satisfied." The Courrier Francais, influenced by strong sympathy for the persecuted Journals, is more violent even than the National. It would almost appear from the fol lowing article that it courts the hostility of the Govern ment, armed with the terrors of the September laws : " The fury of the Ministers against the press exceeds all bounds. The Government is never at a loss for a pretext for seizing a journal which displeases it. It even seems that the seizures become more frequent in proportion as the journals of extreme opinions accustom themselves to speak with moderation. If the National had approved of the scenes of Clermont, M. Martin (du Nord) would perhaps have abandoned it to the discredit which falls upon such doctrines ; but the National having recomn3endtd to its friends to respect the law, an attempt is made to deprive it of the benefit of such conduct, and it is persecuted, in order that it may be rendered violent. We hope the press will not fall into the snare. Violence is the weapon of the weak. The Ministry has only a few days to live, and we can wait for its end. It does itself a hundred times more harm by its excesses than we could do it by any system of aggres sion. For our own part we have no desire to disturb the course of events. Let the Ministry play its last card . —it will be the sooner ruined." The Journal des Debats alone supports the Govern in its attacks upon the Press. The more Journals are seized the more it applauds the vigilance of the Cabinet. For this the Commerce makes the following attack upon it :—" The language of the Journal des Debuts is marked with a peculiar character of irritation and hatred, by which this detestable Journal, the official organ of every, re-action since 1814, has been ever distinguished. Its violent aggression at the present day cannot be justified by common sense, unless it be contemplated to support that aggression by the establishment of a pure military despotism. And it is at a most critical juncture, when the whole country is in agitation, when our towns and hamlets are the scenes of slaughter and riot, when it becomes the duty of all good citizens to give the example of moderation, that this Journal breathes nothing but insult, defiance, and death, on all these inflammable ele ments of civil discord." The Quotidienne accounts for the triumphal march of the Duke d'Aumale from Marseilles to Neuilly, by stating that an intrigue has for some time been on foot for obtaining for his Royal Highness the hand of the young Queen of Spain. Queen Christina, Louis Phi lippe, Toreno, and Bermudez, are all at the bottom of this plot. To bring this political romance to a happy conclusion, is said to be the object of M. Salvandy's mis • sion to Madrid. But has England been consulted about this match ? Before attempting this second abolition of the Pyrenees, it would be as well just to ask John Bull what he thinks about the business. The Editor of the Spanish Journal Correo National, has been sentenced to two years' imprisonment for pub lishing some laudatory verses upon Queen Christina, in which the character of Espartero was unsparingly attacked. •140 s 4 4 01 , 40,- A • ,rtu,a-.4.. - -4- , p". 0 ' .4 PPI ' ..1' opp % IN 11 THE RAILWAY SUN, AND TILE PARLIAMENTARY SUN, ARE NOW RE-PUBLISHED, PRICE SIXPENCE EACH.

We will endeavour to find it; and, if not out of date, it shall appear. ,§311.14, LONDON: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1841. A controversy has arisen between the Morning Chronicle and Morning Post, concerning Sir R. PEEL'S impatience to have the Corn-law settled in May, and his determination not to meddle with it at present. The former journal thinks the Premier inconsistent, the latter describes him as perfectly consistent in language and conduct. We are constrained to side with the Post. In May the Whigs were agitating that question in Parliament ; in September Sir R. PEEL, backed by a large majority of both Houses of Parliament, and backed by the majo rity of the electors, has decided that it shall not be agitated in Parliament. So far as the Parlia ment is concerned, the qpe.stion was settled by the accession of Sir R. PEEL to office. The law is to remain unaltered. No language can be clearer or more explicit than that used by the ' Prime Minister, Lord STANLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM, and Sir E. KNATCHBULL. They will admit no other alteration whatever than some petty modi fication of the mode of taking the averages, and some very trifling alteration in the sliding-scale. We repeat, then, that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S acces sion to office settled the Corn question, and his impatience in May was only impatience to be in power. But will the manufacturing classes—will the religious men who met at the Conference—allow Sir ROBERT PEEL, the two Houses of Parlia ment, and the county electors, to settle the ques tion in their own way ? We know not. An Evening Paper says "Sir ROBER T PEEL will not have boldness enough, even though encouraged by the proverbial b ear i ng o f the great D ux;, ' to risk the consequences o f p rorogu i ng the Par liament for six - mo n th s . W e go further. We do not b e lieve the QEEEN will act u p cn such ad vice, even though it should b e:ten d ered to her. " S ever al Town Councils, several cities, parishes, h bodies are holdi ng meetings to me and Pu-- 1--ie, rn orialize the QUEEN not to pr orogue the Parlia ment till the Corn-laws be altered. Will t h ey bend the ter mination of the squir es an d their man ? Wilde any amount of distress i n fl uence l their judgment ? We are afraid not. Till there b e union amongst the p e ople, they can afford t o de spise them, and they affirm—believing, of c ourse —that the distress is in nowise caused by the Cora-laws. It is the result of over production, or too much bank paper, they say. They will not yield, therefore, to any d e monstration which can now possibly be made, and will disregard all representations of distress. But if no distress, and no expression of opinion in the manufactur ing districts will either frighten or soften the the self-willed men, who are constituted a strong Government, to continue a great oppression—it they are determined, at all hazards, to starve down population to nearly the level of the home supply ; to run down commerce, till England becomes, like Venice in its ruins, distinguished for its palaces and its paupers—ifnothing short of rebellion against the bread taxers will shake them, and there be no chance of rebellion—then we must conclude that Sir ROBERT PEEL is right, his impatience is gratified, the Corn-law ques tion is settled by his - accession to office, and many capitalists may, p re p are themselves for decay, and many labourers for starvation. In the debate last Friday, Mr. COBDEN said— The wages of labour were the rations of the poor ; but the majority of that House, by diminishing the market for labour, were lessening those rations. The labouring classes should know it was that robbed It was not the capitalists. He said solemnly that he believed no calamity could be more deeply felt PAILIAIUMINTT.II.IZT. The Peers met yesterday. They received several petitions, including one from Sir Harcourt Lees, for the expulsion of the Jesuits, the prayer of which, Lord Brougham, who presented it, said he must oppose ; and one from the Manchester Conference, presented by the Earl of Ducie, who expressed his regret that the Parlia ment was to be prorogued without inquiring into the Corn-laws and the distress of the people. The Noble Earl assured the Peers, who appeared to hear him with calm indifference, that hundreds and thousand of the people had fallen during the last year into an untimely grave. Lord Clifford of Chudleigh moved for some papers concerning the quarrels of English and Portuguese Ca tholic priests in India, and made rather an amusing speech. The papers were granted. The Marquis of Lansdowne took an opportunity, on presenting a petition, to express his regret that the state of the country was not to be inquired into, and the Duke of Wellington said it was quite impossible to enter into any such inquiry before the termination of the Session, Their Lordships adjourned till Monday. PIMLICO OPINION. The Chronicle contains an article on the subject of the brief discussion on the Corn-laws that took place in the House of Lords last night, and observei, in allusion to the implied promise of Ministers, that if her Majesty would give them her confidence, they would enter on the examination of the questions which she had recommended, remarks as follows :—" The strong Government is formed; her Majesty has fulfilled her part of the bar gain ; and now it is not only fair, but just and decent, that Parliament should redeem its pledge solemnly given to the Crown. Yet the expecting and suffering portion of the people see a strong Government that dare not even face a discussion on the question ; and the great majo rity in both Houses of Parliament are literally about to skulk from the consideration of a question, which thou sands of her Majesty's subjects declare is affecting their health, their property, and their lives I" None who are versed in the history of Tory tactics, could have expected that the present Ministers would have acted otherwise than they have done. Had they re deemed their promise, and entered at once boldly and honestly on the question of the national distresses, they would have falsified their character as Tories. Your true Tory never considers aught but his own per sonal interests. His thoughts wishes feelings begin and end in Self. His humanity never travels be yond Number One. He is now desirous of a prorogation first, because he knows full well that his party can, and will, do nothing for the country ; and secondly, because he considers it a great bore, and an impeachment of his gentility to be seen in London during the autumnal sporting months. What are the distresses of the people to him ? They are used to starvation, as eels are to be skinned ; and he deems it unconstitutional to make any innovations on their condition. The Post, like the rest of the Tory Journals, is quite delighted with—what it calls—" the present very cre ditable Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Wakley," as will be seen by the following paragraph :—" Men smarting under, the infliction of recent defeat and degradation are seldom very correct reasoners, and we can, there fore, forgive an organ of the late Administration for forgetting that two rather important facts are wanting to justify the inference it draws from the present very creditable Parliamentary conduct of Mr. Wakley. One of these is, that this gentleman is, or has ever been, a Chartist, and, the other, that the support or the forbearance of this gentleman has been courted, or his favour cultivated, by Sir Robert Peel, or by individuals connected with his Government."— The great eagerness with which the Tories court the alliance of the Radical 'Member for Finsbury, is a proof that they are fer from easy in their present position, and have strange misgivings respecting their continuance in office. One would imagine that, backed by a majority of ninety-one, they would treat Mr. Wakley's advances— and those of a hundred such—with the most sovereign contempt ; but they seem to be aware that majorities are capricious things now-a-days, as changeable as the Times, and just as likely to be found one fine morning on the Whig side of the question, as that weathercocCjournal. Some months ago the Tories were clamorous in their abuse of the Melbourne Cabinet for condescending to accept the assistance of Mr. O'Connell ; yet now this haughty party stoop still lower—exhibit still greater condescension—in courting the alliance of Mr. Wakley! And the men who thus abjectly prostrate themselves, exult in the idea that they are connected with ;the most aristocratic Government that England has known for years! Alas, how closely in some natures is pride allied with meanness ! Pope in his Satires, has hit off a Tory to the life, when he speaks of " the meanness that soars, and pride that licks the dust," of Lord Fanny. The Herald is so transported with Lord Stanley's late election speech, that it devotes not less than two columns and a half to the subject, and observes, inter alive : " Like Lord Stanley we have ridiculed the idea of a specific for the cure of national evils ; and with him we have exposed the absurdity and the danger of the Legis lature giving way to the prevailing prejudice or fashion of the time. Had it so given way during the last ten years of Whig rule, there would not at the present time be an institution either in Church or State left standing. There would now have been no national establishment, no House of Lords, no public debt, no army, no navy, and, we verily believe, no Sovereign ; but there would, in their stead, hav e b een un i versa suffrage, annual elections of the House of Commons, the Ballot, general confusion in ecclesiastical matters, a na tional guard, a centralised and tyrannical demo cratic Government, and confusion worse confounded." —So, the "idea of a specific for the cure of national evils" is now a flagrant absurdity ! Lord Stanley has declared it to be so, and the Herald endorses his opinion. What, then, did the Tories take office for ? The answer is ready—tO promote their own party interest ! They are a mere set of political swindlers, who have sneaked into place under false pretences ; and now that they arc fairly housed in Downing -street, laugh at the fools who obtained them admission there. To hope anything from men like these, is to hope for mercy from a slave-owner, or toleration from a Philpotts ! We quote the following from the Times :—" It is un questionably a growing feeling, that the Queen's Govern ment ought to keep the sole power of coining money, whether in gold or in paper, ,in its own hands ; sub ject to the constant inspection of Parliament. This would prevent the sudden increase of the circulation in one year, and its sudden diminution in another. It would save many, s till s olvent and respectable, from the fate which h as a l rea dy overwhelmed thou sands of innocent vi ct i ms .

Presidency of the Board of Trade, has indeed led, in some quarters, to the surmise that the Tory Premier is himself a Puseyite. On that point it is not for us to express an opinion in the absence of proof. Though to be sure very little religion—we mean the re ligion of the New Testament—be required to constitute the Puseyite character, we doubt whether Sir Robert Peel is theologian enough fully and clearly to compre hend the details of that system. At all events, if Sir Robert is a Puseyite now, his conversion must have been of very recent date ; for within the last twelve months this very Mr. Gladstone, in a work already named, de nounced the Right Hon. Baronet as a man devoid of all re ligion,' jgnd a person who was consequently, though pos sessed of considerable abilities' as a politician, alto gether unfit to be entrusted with the destinies of the State. Nor is this the most recent or the most terrible denunciation with which Sir Robert has been visited by the Puseyites. Little more than two months have elapsed since he was gibbeted in the Brittsh Critic—the recog nised quarterly organ of the party—as a cold, heart less, selfish man,' without a particle of religion in his composition ;' as an inveterate egotist ;' as a man of ' mean, sordid, earthly mind;' as a hypocrite in heart, anti a traitor to his professed principles in ac tion ;' as a man whom it was impossible to respect in his public capacity, though possessing some amiable qualities in private life;' and • as a person in whom no one ought to repose the slightest confidence.' " In reference to the Penny Post, the Inverness Courier observes :—" There is a report that the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends raising the rate of postage from one penny to fourpence. We trust this will prove to be erroneous. The number of letters is rapidly' ncreasing, so that, in a few years, the revenue from this source will be equal to its former amount. In our Highland dis tricts the change would be a serious evil ; as, from the poverty of the people, the clergy and others had often to advance sums to enable their poor parishioners to pay letters from their distant relatives and children." The Plymouth Journal commenting on Sir Robert Peel's first Ministerial speech, says :—" The mountain has at length been safely delivered, and Sir Robert Peel's anxiously anticipated manifesto has come out—a very ridiculous little mouse. The cry had gone forth for some decided measure to restore the revenue, to relieve the distress of the country, and quell the rising discontent— and 10, and behold, a most magnanimous appeal from the Grand Vizier on—the Ventilation of the House of Com mons." The Derby Reporter thus describes the Tory Cabinet:— "It is like Nebuchadnezzar's image, its feet are com posed partly of iron and partly of clay; it is strong in the support of Parliament, strong in the support of the aristocra c y, b u t wea k on the foundation on which all Governments must stand—the affections of the people. The millions are against them ; the middle classes are rallying to the rescue of the country from destruction, awakened to the danger that awaits them from the intention of Sir Robert Peel to put off the con sideration of the corn duties till next year." MONEY—TRADE —COMMERCE. Sixty vessels, laden with wheat, have been entered at the Plymouth Custom-house, from the Ist to the 20th Sept. inst., averaging 60 tons ; the great majority are from France, a few from Jersey. The duty now is only is. a quarter; a month since it was 235. Bd. The glove-trade of Yeovil has been improving the last few weeks, and the distressed glovers somewhat re lieved thereby.

Anti-Corn- law meetings, since our last notice, have taken place at Marylebone, St. George, Southwark, and Old Brentford, and petitions adopted tor signature to the Queen. On reference to The Sun's report of yesterday's pro ceedings at the Court of Common Council, it will be seen that the City are resolved on petitioning her Ma jesty to urge the question of the Corn-laws in Parlia- Out before prorogation. oat (if A.GRECULTURAM.

LAW AND POLICE. James Spurle, convicted yesterday at the Central Cri minal Court, of setting fire to a house in Lambeth, was sentenced to be transported for 15 years.

Lord Stanley arrived in town on Wednesday night from North Lancashire. MISCELLANEOUS. At a recent Tory dinner at Ipswich, Sir Ralph An struther, speaking of the Tory Premier, observed, " Such integrity of purpose, such profound judgment, such praiseworthy caution, such a delightfully happy knack in suppressing a too great impatience, were never before combined in any mortal man."—This superhuman states man hascertainly a happy knack at suppressing the impa tience of the people, for he has told them, in plain terms, that they must not expect any remedy from him, even though he has pocketed the fee which they gave him for the consideration of their case. To repress popular im patience by producing popular despair, is an idea well worthy of a Tory statesman. A Wilts Paper states that " one day last week a po liceinan observing a pig on the railway, attempted to drive it off, as a train was approaching; but all his efforts were vain, for the more he strove, the more obstinate the pig became; he seemed to have made up his mind not to leave; but at length hearing the noise of the coming train, and not liking the sound, he endeavoured to bolt; but not being aware of the speed of rail-way carriages, he got between the wheels, and ultimately extricated himself with the loss of his nose, which one of the wheels cut off." —How characteristic is this conduct of the Tories! They, too, are a perverse, pig-headed race, who make a point of hanging back, the more the people attempt to drive them forward. They, too, like the pig, " make up their mind not to leave ;" but, at length, hearing the loud clamour of the people, and " net liking the sound," they " en deavour to make a bolt," lucky if they can extricate themselves from their embarrassing position with the loss only of reputation. We consider that the loss of his nose to a pig, is a far greater grievance than the loss of his character to a Tory. The Morning Post observes, that " Mr. O'Connell cannot find even one grievance."—lf the Hon. and Learned Gentleman will only cast his eyes towards the Treasury Bench, when he resumes his seat, he will find a row of full-grown grievances ranged right opposite him. We learn, from the Liverpool Courier, that, " during the last two or three days, the Cheshire shore has been covered with the creatures commonly called fallen stars." —Fallen stars are by no means confined to Cheshire, but have dropped at Brocket Hall, Bowood, Woburn Abbey, and elsewhere. Indeed, the Whig horizon has of late been full of them. The following is from a Sheffield paper :—" A few days ago, as one of the persons connected with Van Amburgh's establishment, was standing near the elephant, he received first a smart slap on the face, and pre sently such a stroke from the trunk of the animal, that four ribs were broken."—Lord Ellenborough, of " tame elephant" notoriety, should take this refractory animal in hand. On Monday last," says the Bolton Chronicle, " a Society of Female Conservatives, consisting of sixty old ladies, held their first anniversary at a respectable tavern in Middleton."—We are not surprised at these sixty old ladies being all Tories, for Toryism is essentially old womanish. Sir Robert Peel should recruit his ranks from them from time to time. The Chartists of Nottingham are making extensive arrangements for the reception of Feargus O'Connor, though the day on which the " uncaged lion " will be there, is not positively determined. But Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Samuel ler, the celebrated author of " Hudibras," who died in 1680. On this day, in 1738, died Herman Bcerhave, the eminent physician. His fame was spread over the world, and his works are universal text-books. Peter the Great visited him on his travels, and a Chinese mand4Tin wrote to Min this address: " To Bcerbave, the celebrated physician of Europe," EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

The Spanish Government had received intelligence of an inroad into Spain, near Badajos, of a band of united Carlists and Miuelists, and had ordered the _ troops on the side of l'oitugal to be in force. It does not appear that the attempt was very serious ; and it is supposed the reports to have been exaggerated, in orderd to afford Espartero a pretext for augmenting his forces on the Portuguese frontier. The vintage in Spain is this year most abundant ; in deed too much, as last year's stock is still on hand.

(Before Mr. Justice MautE and Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) THE CASE OF MR. BANKES. Mr. PHILLIPS said that he was instructed by the Home Office to renew the application he had made the other day in the case of Mr. Bankes, for the estreat of the recognizances, Mr. Bankes net having complied with the condition upon which the writ of certiorari was granted, namely, appearing and en tering into his recognizances. In fact, the matter was now in the same condition in which it was when he made the previous application. Mr. BODKIN said that it certainly was the fact, that the cir cumstances of the case were precisely in the same condition as they were the other day, and if his Learned Friend pressed for the estreat of the recognizances, he was not in a condition to resist the application. Mr. Justice MAULE observedthat, under the circumstances, it was a matter of course that the recognizances should be estreated. Nevertheless, if good reason was shown why the recognizances had not been entered into upon application, the estreat would be removed. Mr. PHILLIPS did not know what amount of bail the Court would receive. Mr. Bonxix thought his Learned Friend was rather pre mature with respect to that question, as the certiorari was still in existence. Mr. PHILLIPS said the certiorari was a dead letter, as Mr. Bankes had not complied with the conditions upon which it had been granted. If their Lordships, upon looking at the deposi tions, thought the bail mentioned in the certiorari sufficient, he, on the part of the Home Office, had nothing to say against it. Mr. Justice MAULE wished to know whether, when the cer tiorari was granted, the Bill was found? Mr. Bonxii4 said it was not. Mr. Justice Maine—Because that makes a difference. Mr. Baron ROLFE inquired whether there was any affidavit with respect to Mr. Bankes' circumstances? Mr. PHILLIPS said there was not, but if the Court required it one should be made. It was thought that the departure of Mr. Bankes, under the circumstances, was very suspicious, and he doubted very much the sincerity of the stet 'ments that had been made. Mr. Bankes had been written to, and had sent no answer. Mr. BODKIN observed that Mr. Bankes had left England under the supposition that the granting of the writ of cer tiorari was sufficient, and that his further attendance was not necessary. It was doubted whether the letter had reached Mr. Bankes, as there was no doubt he intended to answer the writ of certiorari. Mr. Justice MAULE wished to see the indictment, as he was desirous of knowing what it was with which Mr. Bankes wss charged. After a short consultation with Mr. Baron Rolfe, the Learned Judge said it was desirable that they should have an affidavit of the circumstances of Mr. Bankes. Mr. PHILLIPS said the Court should be furnished with such an affidavit if it was thought necessary ; but he thought his Learned Friend would make such an admission as to render such an affidavit useless. Mr. Bomuti would at once admit that Mr. Bankes was a gentleman of station and large fortune. Mr. Justice MAULS observed that as the present was a case in which an indictment had been found, and as it had been admitted that the defendant was a person of station and large property, although the case was only one of misdemeanour, yet the Court thought the indictment, having been found, that the defendant must find bail, himself in 5,0001. and :two sureties of 2,5001. Mr. BODKIN supposed that no new process would issue till the end of the session ? Mr. Justice MAULS—Certainly not. Mr. Bankes was then called upon his recognizances in the usual form. John Johnson and Edward Jones were indicted for unlaw fully being in the dwelling-house of Joseph Drake, and stealing therein 18 silver spoons, value 91. 155., one pair of sugar tongs, value 10s., and a:bread-basket, value 6d. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Payne de fended the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON said that the - prisoners at the bar had, pre vious to the alleged robbery, induced a servant of the prose cutor's to consent to admit them into his master's house for the purpose of committing a robbery. On the 28th of August last it was arranged that the two prisoners should come to the house and the servant Cole would let them in. But previous to their arrival he had given infor mation to the police, who were stationed in the house ready to apprehend the prisoners on their arrival. At about nine o'clock on the evening in question, Cole admitted the prisoners by the stable door, at the back of the house, and as soon as they had entered, the prisoner Jones proceeded up stairs, and the other prisoner went into the kitchen, and was, unfortunately for the case, immediately seized by one of the officers, who on putting his hand behind his back found a crow .bar, or jemmy, con cealed. In a very few minutes afterwards another officer saw the prisoner Jones coming down stairs, and in his hand was a basket, containing the articles named in the indictment, and he was immediately seized. These were the circumstances of the case, the indictment charged both pi isoners with the offence of burglary, and the question rather for his Lordship than the Jury was, whether or not the witness Cole, having opened the door of his master's house without any authority, could he admitted as a witness, or whether he was acting in concert with the prisoners. If this was the case he (Mr. Clarkson) could not ask a verdict from the Jury against Johnson, but with re spect to Jones he apprehended that the case would be different, and if the facts were proved under the direction of his Lordship. they would convict him. These facts were severally proved by the policemen who were stationed in the house. Susannah Spencer deposed that she was servant to the pro secutor, who at the time in question was not in town. She taw the plate produced safe in the house on the 29th August. George Cole deposed that on the 29th of August he was groom to Mr. Drake. On that day he met the prisoner .Johnson accidently near the Eagle, in Camden -town, and never saw him before. He asked the witness to have something to drink, but he refused. The prisoner asked him where his master kept his plate, and he said it was kept in an iron chest. The prisoner said he could not blame anybody stealing these bad times. He said he would give the witness 500/. if he would let him into his master's house, and send the witness to Scotland, where he could set up business. Witness said he could not give him an answer till Saturday, when he would meet him. Witness then left the prisoner, and the next day gave information to the police, who directed hi m t o meet t h e prisoner again. On the Saturday he met both prisoners, and they went to several public.houses together. They asked him it it was all right. Jones said he had seen the witness talking to a policeman, and the witness told him the policeman was a relation of his. They went to the Robin Hood, in the Regent's Park, and had some ale: Johnson said the witness had better go home and see that the servants were out of the way. Went down to the house, and saw the police were there ready. While he was away Jones went for a cab. They all went back to the Robin Hood. lie then took John son to the house by the stable-yard. Johnson went in first, and he said he would get up to the iron chest ; and as he was going up the stairs he was taken by the police. Witness then went and met Jones, and he went into the house, and was soon afterwards taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE—ACted with the policemen all along from the Thursday night, will swear he never touched the plate basket. This being the case, Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury for the prisoners. He con tended that the case had been spoiled by the over-anxiety of the police. No burglary had been committed ; the case could only by possibility rise to a case of being in the house with a felo nious intent, and it was with this view that the Magistrate had committed them. With respect to Johnson, he thought there was no case at,all, and he should, therefore, say no more upon it. • The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the Jury on the part of Jones, contending that th e f act was not clearly proved of the plate basket being in his possession. He called several witnesses to the character of Jones. The Learned JUDGE then summed up the evidence. He said there was no breaking into the house if the door had been lawfully opened by Cole, therefore the prisoner could not be deemed guilty . of burglary according to law. With regard to Jones it remained for them to say whether they were satisfied by the evidence that he had taken the plate, and if so, they were then to say whether he was simply guilty of stealing, or stealing in a dwelling house to the amount of 5/. The Jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty against Johnson, but Guilty against Jones of stealing in a dwelling house property above the amount of st. Mr. CLARKSON then applied to the Court to order that Johnson might be detained as an accessory before the fact. Mr. Justice MAnnE.---Let him be detained. The prisoner was then sentenced to ten years' transportation. The prisoner addressed his Lordship, stating that the police.. man had in his possession several articles, consisting of work boxes and desks, and a watch and seals, all of which artieleshe had paid for, and could produce the receipts. Ho wished to know if they would be delivered to him? Mr. Justice Ma ur.E—The things are in the possession of the Sheriff; they are forfeited to the Crown. You can apply to the Sheriff, if you like. The prisoner then left the bar. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER,. Frederick White was indicted for unlawfully obtaining by false pretences one coat, one pair of trowsers, and other articles, the goods of Wm. Little. Mr. Fraser conducted the prosecution. It appeared in evidence that. on the 9th of September the prisoner, who is described as a hairdresser, entered a public house called the Richmond Arms, in Camden-road, Camden town, and left a bundle in care of the barmaid ; soon afte r which he left the house. At nine o'clock on the same evertin g he returned, and asked a man who was serving behind the bar for the hundle he left, when this person, in mistake, g ave him a large bundle, containing the articles named in the in dictment, which had been left by the prosecutor, with width the prisoner walked away. He again returned, and got his own bundle from the female with whom he first left it. Mr. BODKIN having addressed the Jury in behalf of the prisoner, • The RECORDER in summing up observed, that the point for the Jury to decide upon was, whether the prisoner in making his application to the barman intended t o i n d uce him to de: liver up the goods by fraud and stratagem originally ; for the fact of keeping them after they came into his possession, would not in law amount to larceny. They were therefore to decid e upon the animus by which the prisoner was actuated in hit the prigtmer was arce l th la e b b o o u o r k . from first application.
