MORNING SUN Ttorierrari raid of ; and their have laboured to rinbug and terrify the people with the black a .iiread of Germany, in order to prevent them I jora sharing the abundant white bread and 'ugh wages of the United States. Above all t!lings they dread lest extended intercourse with Ame rica should i nsp i re our ens l ave d l a b ourers with a desire for greater feedom, and means of ebtani ng it. The wo r ki ng classes have listened l ei the Tory f a l sehoods; they have again believed Ir old enemies and betrayers, and have not dem anded cheap b rea d b ecause t h e T or i es t o ld them that would bring low wages. th in the course of his speech at the close of West minster election, Mr. LEADER said, "There was a large and influential body of thele ctors, the Lice nse d Vi c t ua ll ers , opposed to the G overnme n t, an d w h o, t h ere f ore, f urn i s h e d Westminster with a Tory candidate." Mr. th: 413 R and th e G overnment h ave f oun d ou t e truth too late.

These, however, were to the o nly grievances of which the people had we e i cAn plain. Th e t h eatres i n W es t m i ns t er , as i s b y s i kn own, are barely over on Saturday night e ive, but n o re f res h men t cou ld b e h a d a t a house ho ue „. for the h u ndreds that left the w'rs parche d with t hi rs t, an d re p ea t e dly h a v e e ard the m ost v i o l ent i mprecat i ons u tt ere d agai nst thos e w h o so cruelly and so uselessly in terfered with the comforts of the people. Did the M embers for Westminster take any steps to 6o 4le dY the evil ? None. Are we then to be a r P r ised th at t h ey were to be regarded by such till'athY by some and with such dislike by others, that an aristocrati ca l T or y, t o t a ll y un k nown t o t h e should have been placed triumphantly at Ik e h ead of the poll!?

But the evil : 3 been c onsummated. The Government has, ohe in verily believe, lost two votes in London and Westminster on this account, and would tl a ve lost is a si m il ar proportion in Lambeth and arist ocratical To wer H am l ets, had any Tory of ability or influence c ome forward. M r. 0 413 ER and his friends, therefore, have no right li r jemplain of the publicans or the electors. te "ie their constituents were subjected to a sys e:lll, ° f espionnage hitherto unknown in this off -n trY, and to heavy penalties for an imaginary of tie , e, they were nightly performing the part "nib dogs that could not bark."

This event was Ilf th e , el s' ago, and indeed was the natural consequence the election of SPAIITERO, or rather of the QUEEN'S l eav o a ; tl°ll of the a her ft Regency. The mother who could 'eaerv• of so entirely unprotected was not very i-, a, . 6.. contintung to be their legal guardian. , via 1 'alt km Ives at present upon petits evenements—upon the ta% sw PePper e f i ts Political cuisine—now that the 44114 4 icul Waded by the ChlunbeZ2 is with- held, and that even MEHEMET Air,' by his compli ance with the new hatti scheriff, tikes away all pre text for hatching a war. The Minister of the Interior has just cashiered a compauy of National Guards of Paris for electing a Radical Captain—a subject which is the talk of all the City. This same officer had been one o those who was imprudent enough to cry out "No Bastiles !" on the day of NAPOLEON'S funeral, adding the unwelcome shout of "A bas lei Ministres!" A bas Guizot!' For this he himself, with some more officers, were suspended from their rank soon after ; and now his company having unanimously re-elected him Captain, the Government find it to be un peu de trop, and so have sent the whole kit to the right about. Vivent les bayonettes intelligentes ! It is stated that Admiral LALANDE is to have the chief command of the French Mediterranean fleet, but we doubt the fact—such an appointment being about as conciliatory a measure towards the Great Powers as the calling of TRIERS into office again. If he has the command, it will be merely nominal. M. TRIERS is shortly going to commence his tour on the other side of the Rhine. It appears that he will first visit the Hague and other cities of Holland, and will then proceed to Berlin. His stay in each of these capitals will probably not be long, and it is supposed he will end with Vienna. A rumour that he is going to try the effects of personal acquaintance in softening the rancour justly felt against him by several German statesmen may or may not be true. One thing may be anticipated with tolerable certainty ; that such expectations, if he enter tains them, will be deceived. The feeling against him among the more influential members of the Austrian and Prussian nobility is very strong, and the distrust of his political probity universal. The new treaty of commerce with Holland gives the greatest satisfaction all along the Rhenish frontier of France, as might be expected ; and the municipality of Strasburg have held a meeting to thank the Peers and the Government for the steadiness with which they have supported this convention. As a commercial measure it is one of much equity,. and will give no small impulse to the cotton manufactories of Alsace and Lorraine, but it will not strengthen the shipping interest of France. England has every reason to be satisfied at the conclusion of tliis treaty. We learn from a sure source that the visit of King LEOPOLD to England at the present moment is to aid 'her. MAJESTY with his advice during the crisis of the elections. The QUEEN is said to have written expressly to her Royal Uncle on this subject, and to have begged him to come over and remain till the elections should be well nigh concluded. The counsel his MAJESTY may give when the result of the elections is known, will, no doubt, have much influence on her MAJESTY. There is a story afloat in Paris that the reason of the Duke do NEMOURS having come to something very like a misunderstanding with GeneralßuceAup was a refusal on the part Of the latter to allow the Prince an extra number of mules for his baggage. There may be some thing in this ; but the Duke, though proud and reserved, is not of the character that such an anecdote would tally with. That a coolness has arisen between him and the General is positive. We observe that the Constitutionnel dwells at some length on a pretended general conspiracy of all the Spanish Carlists in France to re-enter Spain en masse, and rekindle the civil war in the northern provinces—an idea borrowed from the Eco del Comercio. There is no foundation whatever for the rumour, in that shape at least ; discontent, no doubt, exists widely in the Basque Provinces, the inhabitants of which are justly disap pointed at not having their fueros fairly interpreted, and conceded to them as the treaty of Bergara stipulated ; and there would not be much difficulty in getting them to join any party in arms that should come with tolerable prospects of success ; but the " sinews of war" are wanting; the Carlist party are miserably poor, and their friends in Germany and elsewhere are tired of " cashing up" for such a set of imbeciles ; they would not stand a single month's campaigning ; so ESPARTERO and his " clever Secretary LINAGE (who was caught out pirating NAPOLEON'S speech the other day) may sleep in peace. It should be observed that there is a question, or rather a series of questions, now in dispute between the French and Spanish Governments, on which a " very pretty quarrel" might be picked if any ambiti ous Government was desirous of doing so. According to the Treaties between France and Spain, concluded during the latter half of the last century, much " de bateable ground" was left at various points along the Pyrenees, and the territory of the Aldudes, in particular, has given rise to some diplomatic communications within the last few weeks. Spain claims some pasture land in that district, which France has declared in polite terms she will not give up, and which of course Spain is unable to talte. It seems, however that there are some undecided French claims to all that part of the frontier in which the town and harbour of Passages lie, as being on the northern slope of the Pyrenees. France would, of course, give her ears to get such a strong position into her hands without having to fight for it; and the late Gen. HAxo, who was the best engineer France had since VAUBAN, and who was well acquainted with the ground, declared that the claim of France could not equitably be contested. The dispute about the Aldudes has revived the idea about Passages ; and we should not be surprised to find these claims advanced in a more definite form whenever the fitting op . portunity offers. There is little or no news in the Madrid papers of the 23d ult. The loan was not yet taken, though meetings of capitalists continued to be held ; but no security, no cash. It is affirmed that 31. de Buss;eres, now Minister Plenipo tentiary at Dresden, is to be sent in the same capacity to the Hague. M. Busson, the French Ambassador at Berlin, left Paris yesterday to return to his post. The Temps sa:;s—" We are assured that it is not Admiral Hugon who is to be Maritime Prefect at Toulon, but Vice Admiral Bunden, and that his appointment is before the King for his signature." Letters from Athens of the llth of June, received by way of Trieste, has the following intelligence :—" M. Piscatory s mission is to demand payment of one million of francs due from the Greek Government. On the 11th, he went to the Palace of the Government, and held a conference with such of the European Ambassadors as are in Athens. This French Envoy uses threatening language, but it is hoped the matter may be compromised by an advance on account. The French officers here openly express their good wishes for the success of the cause of the Christians in the East. They say that their Government is desirous of the re-establishment of a Christian kingdom in Palestine, and even in Syria ; and that it will, moreover, voluntarily support the union of Candia, Thessaly, &e., to Greece, if it could find in this Government less ill-will towards Franco. The French are surprised at find ing such extensive liberty in the provinces and communes, and a freedom of the press even less restrained than in their own country. The progress made in Greece in science, art, and manufactures in general, has filled them with astonish ment. The arrival of a great number of, strangers with the purpose of making their way into the insurgent countries, has compelled the Government to adopt rigid measures as to pass ports. Foreigners arriving without these documents in due form. find great difficulty in obtaining permission to land, and much greater to be allowed to remain in the country.—Con stitutionnel.

LYME REGIS, DORSET.--A large sturgeon, weighing upwards of 100 lbs., was taken off Lya:e this morning, and forwarded immediately, by the humble Conservative voters of Lyme Regis, to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, as a mark of their admiration and esteem for his political conduct.—[The sturgeon is called a Royal Fish, and is generally sent to her Majesty. The Lyme Regis Conservatives would seem to regard Sir Robert Peel as already on the throne. We know that he aspires, as the head of the monopolists, virtually to dethrone the Lady patroness of free trade and increased revenue without in creased burthens, but this is the first recognition we have yet met with of his , actual sovereignty. We, however, are not disposed to make the cotton-spinner's son—be come a great bread-taxer--our sovereign, and we shall decline following the example of the Conservatives of Lyme Regis, and shall withhold our homage till the monopolists have forced him on the throne.—ED. Sun.] TIIE REPUBLIC AND TUE MONARCHY.—Few weeks pass without the Times and the rest of the Tories howl ing against the manners and morals of the Great Western Democracy. We have, in the cause of truth and justice, on those occasions, directed the attention of our readers to the quietness and order with which their elections are conducted. At the late election of Presidei t, when the suffrages of the whole adult male population were col lected, not a single row or broken head disturbed the peace and harmony of the people. Our elections are not yet over. Suffrages not above the tenth part of those collected in America have here been collected. We have had rows at Nottingham, Carlisle, Wigan, &c., and eight lives have been lost. With an example before us so pregnant with instruction, we must recommend the To ries not to provoke comparisons which cannot be advan tageous to the Monarchy. Her Majesty Queen Victoria has been graciously pleased to forward to the Rev. Robert Bland, vicar of , Tutbury, the sum of 401. on behalf of the infant school recently eitailislied in that - plve.—Derby Reporter. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1841 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS• CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The mercantile accounts by the overland mail are de cidedly in no respect flattering. Every where the mar luts are suffering from the effects of a long-continued cessation in the demand for, and a consequent accumu lation in the stocks of, imported goods. The supplies of merchandize in China are described as being immense. The India markets are acted upon of course by the state of those in the mother country, where its staples have long ruled low. This afternoon there was much buoyancy evinced in the Foreign Exchanges. Bills at three months were drawn on the leading continental cities, at about the following rates :—Paris 25f. 62c. to 67l c. ; Amsterdam, 12 41 to 5 ; Antwerp, 12 31 ; Frankfort, 150 ; Ham burgh, 13 101 to 11 ; and Trieste, 9 57 to 59. The Funds still wear every appearance of firmness, although money is worth currently . 5 per cent. Con sols realized 891 to 898 for the opening, ex.-div. ; Ex chequer Bills realized 9s. to 12s. premium ; Bank Stock rose 1 per cent., viz. to 169 and 1692 ; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 99 to 8 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities were worth 891 to 90. India Bonds were at par to 3s. premium. The Peninsular Stocks were rather drooping, but the South American Securities rallied a little. Spanish Ac tive Bonds were at 21k, and Portuguese New 32 and 318. Brazil Stock was heavy at 68. Belgian Bonds were marked 101, and Dutch Five per Cents. 1001. Co lombian brought 208 to 21, and Buenos Ayres 201, being rather improved quotations. There was not much done in Railway Shares. Great Western brought 27 to 261 ; the Fifths, 6 ; and the London and Birmingham, 69 prem. Brighton were 3 to 3i : Manchester and Leeds, 171 ; Midland Counties, 111 ; and Birmingham and Derby 39 discount ; National Provincial Bank of England, prem. We have the arrival of a Brazil mail this morning by her Majesty's packet magnet, as well as a packet from Mexico by the k'igeon ; the former mail having about 30,0001. on freight, and the latter 1,115,000/. in dollars, part of which, to the amount of 9,VS dollars, is for the Mexican dividends. The Magnet sailed from Rio. Janeiro May 7, Bahia May 15, and Pernambuco May 21 : the Pigeun sailed from Vera Cruz May 3, Tampico May 8, and Havannah May 27. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JULY I.—The business in the Cotton Market to-day has been animated, and the de mand for the trade still continues brisk. The sales are 5,000 bales, to consumers. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, JULY I.—We have had a more extended business in the Share Market to• day, but there has been no improvement in the prices. Grand Junction Half shares, 101 ; Great Western, Fifths, 11 ; London and Bir mingham, 32/. Share=, 53i; London and South Western, Tenths, 184 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 22a ; North Union, 80i. 1 11 ANenz sTza STOCK E ' XCHANGE JULY I.—Not much business doing here to-day—prices firm.—Manchester and Leeds, 52 to 52k; Manchester and Birmingham , 23 t o 23 k; North Midlands, 68 to 68. i ; London and Birmingham, 158 to 159 ; Liverpool and Manchester, 200 ; Bank of Manchester, 6. We have received the Rio Commercial List of the sth May The Market was not animated, the business done was never. theless to an average amount, whilst the quantity of goods received was moderate. ExroaTs.—This branch of commerce was exceedingly dull throughout the month, and, except in Coffee, the transactions possessed a very limited interest. MONEY MARKET.—For discounts during the first fifteen days of the month, there existed some little tightness in the Money Market ; nevertheless, at 9 per cent., money could be found on first-rate paper. Since the;•l7th, 10 to 12 per cent. had been the current rates, and, in the negotiation of Bills of Ex change, even higher rates have been submitted to, in order to obtain money. The repeated and continued calls for discount on the part of the Government, acts, to a certain extent, as a drain upon the market, but the wants of the Treasury, and the consequences of them, are fearfully magnified. In the opinion of the moneyed inte rest his Excellency the Minister of Finance is positively apprehen sive the moneyed interest will not part with their capital, and has invited some of our leading capitalists and merchants to a con ference, to take place to-day, for the purpose of considering the most eligible manner of supplying the means required for the public service, without detriment to the commercial body. EXCHANGE.—AIthough the amount of business done during the month has not been considerable, the fluctuations have been great and rapid. On London the opening rates were 30 to 30i, and the Ex change remained flat, with little doing until the 13th and 14th, when at 304 and 3 0 i several s ums were negotiated. On the 19th a rise of a, occurred, bias having on that day been passed both at 30i and 31 until the 23d ; there was scarcely a transaction on that day, 31 to 31 1 / 2 were the ex treme rates ; on the 27th the market closed flat, at 31 ; on the 28th bills were passed at 304, on the 29th 301/ and 304, and on the 30th, after having been done at 304, the closing rate was 30i. The transactions in specie have not been to any extent. The conference between his Excellency the Minister of Fi nance and the merchants and capitalists took place on the Ist instant. His Excellency stated the estimated deficit of the Treasury during the months of May, June, and July, to be 2,400,000 milreis, in which amount was included 1,000,000 milreis. He told the meeting that he thought it ad visable to make use of both the milreis at his dis posal, for the purpose of meeting the deficit, viz., to issue both Stock and Treasury Bills, the latter to a less amount than was now in circulation. OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.—The Legislative Assembly was opened on the 3d inst., by his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro 11. The following is an extract of the speech : " 1 have much pleasure in finding myself amongst you. The Imperial throne is never so dignified as when surrounded by the representatives of the nation. " Desirous that the act of my coronation be rendered more solemn by your presence, I have commanded that it take place during the present session. It is gratifying to me to be enabled to inform you that per fect amity and good understanding subsists between Foreign Powers and the Empire ; these I shall endeavour to strengthen so far as I can consistently with the interests of the nation and the dignity of my Crown. I have received from these Powers the most flattering solicitations upon having assumed the exer cise of prerogatives conferred upon me by the Constitution. " I see with extreme pain the continuance of the civil war of Rio Grande de Sul. Of the state of ether provinces of the empire you will be informed by the Minister of Justice, and I must call your attention to the necessity of a Council of State, whom I may . consult upon all important questions. " Sly Ministers will each in his report represent to you those matters which are connected with their respective departments.

These re-issues ofSi r Walter Scott's prose works, which appear monthly, deserve all the popu• larity which they have acquired. Nothing can be more elegant than the Thodo of their getting up; their size, too, which is that of royal octavo, is exceedingly convenient; and their uncommon cheapness—for each Part, though containing the substance of an ordinary volume, costs only half a-crown—places them within reach of readers of the most limited means. Thousands will now be come acquainted with Scott's delightful writings, who before knew little more of him than that he was the most successful author of his day. JUNG'E. s S t 0 7C, andOL L Hughes,G E London, MilG 21 1 Z 8 / 4 N I As the present is the first Number of this Magazine, and as the editor candidly confesses in his preface that it was got up in a hurry, we shall riot press too hardly upon it, but simply content ourselves with the expression of a hope that the next Number will evince greater care and diligence. This work is conducted by the classical and medical students of King's College, with the entire concurrence of the Principal and Professors. HALL'S IRELAND, Part 9. How and Parsons, London, 1841. The first volume of this clever work is now comp!eted, and. has justified the prediction we hazarded, on reading the first Part, that it would speedily become a favourite with a large class of English and Irish readers. Its success, observes the Editor in his preface, has been far greater than they could have ventured to anti2ipate— which we are glad to learn, for the local infor mation it conveys is varied and interesting, and the embellishments are remarkable, not only for their number, but also for their excellence. In the Part befOre us there is a highly finished map of the counties of Wicklow, Carlow, and Wex ford ; and a beautiful sketch, cleverly engraved by Hinchcliff, from an original design by Cres wick, of the Rapids of the Shannon, in the neigh bourhood of Castle Connell. The literary por tion of the. Part is chiefly devoted to descriptions of the county of Carlow, and simple, familiar tales illustrative of the habits of its peasantry. MOORE'S POETICAL WORKS. No. J. Longman, London, 1841. The present volume consists almost wholly of satirical and humorous poems, many of which made their first appearance in the Times, when they excited, and deservedly, very general atten tion. We have already expressed our opinion of Mr. Moore's powers as a squib writer. In this pe culiar and difficult walk, he has long been, and is long likely to be, unrivalled. His satire has a lightness and laughing good nature about it that must go far to conciliate even the parties whom it holds up to ridicule. Moreover, it never misses its aim—never falls short of the mark— but goes direct home. As a poet, Moore has his equals, nay, his superiors; as a wit and humou rist, he stands at the head of his class. From his Preface to the present volume, we quote an anecdote or two referring to the late Lord Hol land—one of the most accomplished of scholars, and the most cordial, unaffected, and single minded of men : Lord Holland himself, in addition to his higher intellectual accomplishments, possessed in no ordinary degree the talent of writing easy and playful vers de societe ; and among the in stances I could give of the lightness of his hand at such trifles, there is one no less characteristic of his good-nature than his wit, as it accompanied a copy of the octavo edition of Bayle, which, on hearing me rejoice one day that so agreeable an au thor had been at last made portable, he kindly ordered for me from Paris. So late, indeed, as only a month or two before his Lordship's death, lie was employing himself, with all his usual cheerful eagerness, in translating some verses of Metastasio; and occa , sionally consulted both Mr. Rogers and myself as to differen readings of some of the lines. In one of the letters which receives! from him while thus occupied, I find the following post script:— "'Tis thus I turn th' Italian's song, Nor deem I read hissneaning wrong. But with rough English to combine The sweetness that's in every line, Asks for your Muse, and not for mine. Sense only will not quit the score ; We must have that, and—little More." He then adds, " I send you, too, a melancholy epigram oi mine, of which I have seen many, alas, witness the truth : " A minister's answer -is always so kind ! I starve, and he tells me he'll keep me in mind. Half his promise, God knowsovould my spirits restore ; Let him keep me—and, faith, I will ask for no more."

The best, as a work of art, is the " Deer Stealer," which is a very spirited print, with a picturesque back-ground, and a wild, stormy sky hanging over the land- Ecape. Among the literary contents, we find accutw e and copious intelligence respecting all the field sports of the month; and under the head ." Irish Sporting Melange," the following amusing anecdotes of the present chivalrous and eccentric Marquis of Waterford : Mr. K—, of G—, was one night roused from his bed by a loud knocking at his hall door. As Whitefeet or Terry Alts rarely are so polite as to intimate their pre sence by knocking at the door, Mr. K— instantly opened a window commanding the lawn in front, and saw by glimmering moonlight a carriage-and-four drawn up at the entrance ; he inquired " Who goes there ?" " You have got a horse to sell ?" " I have." " Well, I'm come to buy him." Mr. K— now recognised the voice. " If your Lord• ship will take a bed in my house, you can see him in the morning, for it is now near one o'clock, and my servants are asleep." " No, thank you," persisted the Marquis ; if you wish to sell, let me have a look at him now—as good a time as any other." Mr. IC— had no option ; so he knocked up his groom, hastily dressed himself, opened the door, and the party proceeded to the stable. " Put a saddle and bridle on that nag, my lad, and lead him out." The groom obeyed the imperative command, and the owner of 100,0001. per annum sprang on the:back of the strange horse in the dark. He cantered and trotted him up and down. " What's at the end of your lawn, Mr. ?" demanded his Lordship. " A good stiff ditch," was the answer. • " Have you any objection that I ride this horse at it ?" " Not the least : if your Lordship is not afraid of your neck, I have no fear for my horse." The stride of the (no doubt) astonished hunter was heard in the quiet night, and his leap up and off the bank. • In a minute the bold rider returned. " What's the price of your horse, Mr. K — ?" " One hundred guineas." The money was paid, the horse delivere d to a groom, and the cortege drove off in litt l e mo re time than I have taken to narrate the story, and Mr. IC— returned to his bed wondering at the Marquis of Waterford! The trick he played off on one of his visitors at Cur raghmore was comical enough. The gentleman sported a very handsome gig and black horse, which were given in charge to the Marquis's g room, and, on bein g told his Lordship was at home , was shown into the librar y . So a m in e s i . n u t A e s t wore t v a w y h — e n the patience of the solitarya quarter of an hour—but no m was nearly exhausted, the _Marquis came in, with a thou sand apologies for his delay, and after a visit of some duration the visitor ordered his gig. " Your horse is a white one ?" said the Marquis. " No, my Lord, a black one !" " You must be mistaken," responded his Lordship ; " for, as I passed the yard, the only horse I saw in a gig was a white one." Lo ' ma be " Then it was not mine," replied the other. " Now, then," said his Lordship,river " we shall see conceived ." ihehite g g - y horse driven round, but a when n e notamazement only was of a the white gig ! white as the pa int with which his facetious Lordship had industriously painted it, such having been his employment while his unconscious friend was await ing him in the library. " You see how thoroughly mistaken 3on were," said his Lordship to the c hagrined visitor, " in persisting that your horse was a black one !

PARIS, JULY I.—The shafts of Death have been rapid of execution this last seven-night in Paris. They have struck mortally two noble hearts within eight-and-forty hours of each other, stopping the tongue of eloquence, and quieting for ever the busy mechanism of the law yei 's brain. One day alone and its concurrent night had beheld the death-shadow on the face of M. Gamier Pages, before funeral plumes were rust ling impatiently for the talented Legitimist De puty, M. Berryer, senior, and within these few days he has been coffined, hearsed, and sepul chred. But the memory of M. Berryer is not to be shut up within the narrow chambers of the cata comb, or the fame of his good actions to be clois tered like his mortar ashes in a burial urn or vault. If history have not yet writ records of him, yet, better than her cold and inanimate page, there are at this moment living in France many warm and glowing witnesses who can speak in no measured terms of the benefits which he has eternally heaped upon them and their families by his righteous vindication of their wrongs. His whole life was passed in this praise ful duty, and if the doing good upon earth be, as all just men suppose, the guarantee for accep tance in heaven, Berryer's reception will not be unseraphic, or his reward of little price. M. Berryer's eminence at the French bar was great and equably sustained, while his oratory, depending on no adventitious circumstances, which of themselves often lend display to a man's utterance, was orderly, powerful, and luminous. Better dialectician, perhaps, stood not at the bar, and his penetration upon points of the ab strusest nature, was unsurpassable. He pierced into the heart of false argument like a poniard, and brought out upon its steel-point the peccant lie which sophistry and plausible rhetoric had shamefully striven to conceal. No orator of the capital was so dreaded, because none was so just or true. Few, perhaps, at this distance of time, remember the first cause upon which he was en gaged, the peculiarity of the circumstances con nected with which, no less than . his fine ability on the occasion, brought him brightly at once upon the legal platform. It was in the case of a splendid sapphire, which a princess of Sinde might have coveted as a gem for her bracelet or brow. Berryer had in this to combat with most truculent knaves, and the wily accu sations which he had to repel as counsel for the vendor, were strange and almost unparalleled. i The next case which added to his fame was that of the Mayor d'Anvers, when he strung the si news of his defence to so matchless a pitch of violence against the Imperial tyranny, and did all in the cause which he stood for as advocate that it was possible for little less than despera tion to do. At this period lie entered the publishing world, putting forth a memoir entitled, "Effects of the Military Convention of July 3, and the Treaty of November 1815, relative o the accusation of Marshal N ey,"—a pamphlet- t shaped work, which which was altogether remarkable for its strong dialectics and great erudition. Invested during many years with the charge of defending the in terests of those subjects who belong to neutral powers, M. Berryer developed in these causes the great principles of public claims and the rights of nations. He rendered himself equally signal in the affair of the infants Montebello(Lannes);where he pleaded for the minor of the first marriage. Perhaps his final piece of pleading was never surpassed by even his earlier efforts, when his youth was fresh and vigorous, and the fire-blood of opening manhood ran in his bold veins. On this occasion he stood as defender of Fauche - B o rel; the antagonist with whom he had to wrestle was Perlet, and gladiatorially he did his work. In this extraordinary process, he laid . bare with keen anatomic knife the ag of Perlet, and never was gravating infamy a finer contrast made than when he set the dark heinousness of the latter in opposi sition to the frankness and loyalty of Fauche- Borel. From the Grand Master of Malta he in his later days received the venerable insignia of that order, and its cross suspended on his breast served to show the honourable recompense he had met with, after consecrating his time and powers to the interests of that august order. How goodly an image of him has risen up in the person of Berryerfi/s, his son, is well known. Ile is likely to perpetuate his father's fame no less than his towP, own, and his excellent pleading for Generals Debelle and Cambronne with the po sition which he on that occa sionfor the latter, asserting th a t his astue assumed c li en t, having then ceased to he a F renc h man b y t h e treaty of Fontainebleau, was thereby- able to against France in obeying his Sove afor the time (viz. the Emperor of the Isle el.:7E1111)a), showed him to be no less ingenious than subtle. France has good reason to be thankful, and at ihe.same time proud, that Heaven on removing the more venerable ornament from its bar, leaves that place not unworthily supplied by a son that treads in his footsteps, participates in his eloquence, and wears the mantle of paternal virtue. DISTURBANCES ON THEGLAS- - - _ GOW AND EDINBURGH RAILWAY. For some days past great excitement and bad feeling have,prevailed among the labourers on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, arising, we understand, out of a quarrel between the Highlanders on the one side, and the Irish on the other. So threatening was the aspect of matters on Monday last, that the local authorities found it necessary to call in the assistance of the military from Edinburgh. According to the latest intelligence from the spot, the excitement had somewhat subsided, and there was every appearance of the disputes being amicably arranged. The facts of the case are these : About a week ago some differences arose between the Highlanders and the Irish in the neighbourhood of Fal kirk, respecting a snuff-box that was to be presented to one of the persons connected with the railway. From high words the parties, on Saturday last, came to blows; and, according to the statement given, the Highlanders were considerably to blame in the matter. A rumour, happily unfounded, having run along the line that se veral of the Irish had been killed in the scuffle, a resolu tion was immediately come to by their countrymen to avenge their deaths on the heads of the Highland ers ; and accordingly an attack upon the latter' was planned for Sunday last. The greater number of the Irish are, it seems, employed on the east, and the Highlanders on the west part of the line ; and it appears that the scene of the intended conflict was near Winchburgh. The authorities of Stir lingshire having learned the circumstances of the case, wrote forthwith to the authorities of the county of Lin lithgow, forewarning them of the premeditated disturb ance, and requesting . their co-operation in preventing the parties from meeting. This precaution was only in part successful. On Sunday evening, about seven o'clock, as a party of Highlanders were passing quietly through Winchburgh, on their way to their lodgings at Kirkliston, they were fiercely attacked by a large body of Irishmen, and some of them severely injured. One man in particular was ,nearly killed, having received se veral very severe wounds on the head, which for some time deprived him of consciousness, and rendered it ne cessary to convey him to his lodging in a post-chaise. He is even yet, we understand, not out of danger. Matters having become thus serious, the local autho rities considered it prudent to send to Edinburgh. en Monday for the assistance of the military—a portion of whom went out to Winchburgh on Monday, and an other on Tuesday morning—there being in all about seventy infantry and forty dragoons. The object of the authorities was still to prevent the parties meeting, which it was understood they intended to do on Tues day afternoon—the Irishmen having written to Edin burgh for a reinforceMent of their countrymen from the Grass-market and' Cowgate, which summons was obeyed by a considerable numer. About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the Irishmen had assembled within three miles of Winchburgh, to the number of about 1,500, many of them armed with heavy bludgeons; and it was understood that the Ifig:hlanders were fast approaching, to meet them from the west in still larger numbers. The military were accordingly &awn up in front of the inn at Winchburgh, and after loaL ing their muskets with ball cartridge, were marched off ID the scene of danger, where they placed themselves in from of the Irish, in time to prevent the conflict. At this time the whole line of railroad in that neighbourhood was in commotion ; and the com mencement of hostilities was every moment ex pected. While those in the distance, however, were listeninfi to hear the noise of fire-arms, their ears were assailed by the far more pleasant sounds of loud and - reiterated huzzas, which, upon inquiry, turned out to be the good-humoured response of the Irishmen to the peaceful remonstrances of the contractors, Messrs. Gibb and Son, whose advice at once to separate was for tunately attended with the happiest result. The im mense crowd gradually dispersed, and by half-past five all was again quiet. The military then returned to Winchburgh, where they still remain. Great praise is due to the authorities of Linlithgow shire and Stirlingshire, and also to Messrs. Gibb and Son, for their praiseworthy exertions fur the preserva tion of the peace ; and we sincerely hope that their fu ture exertions will be crowned with equal success. — Edinburgh Paper. PORTUGAL.—In the sittings of the 19th of June, in the Chamber of Deputies, M. Jose Estavao, addressing the Minister of Marine, said he had been in formed that that the Governors of the Portuguese Afri can settlements openly connived at the slave-trade, and that in so flagrant a manner, that, in order to facilitate the departure of slave-laden vessels, they were in the habit of ordering ships of war on idle errands in a dif ferent direction, and requested that measures should be taken to put an end to the evil. The Minister promised, in reply, that the subject should be strictly inquired into, and the necessary steps taken accordingly.—Anti-Slavery Reporter. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE CENSUS RE- V'S-N.-0n Monday last, at Newnham Petty Sessions, the Rev. William Black, rector of Blaisdon, in this county, was fined 51. and costs. It appeared from the census paper, produced to the bench by the enumerator, that the reverend gentleman had written on it, as an ex cuse for not complying with the Act of 3 and 4 Vic., cap. 99, the follownit , :—" The person to whom this paper was sent cannot con scientiously make any return, as he considers it highly sinful to number the people. See the twenty-fourth chapter of the-second Bank of Samuel, in the Holy Bible." —Gloucester Journal. CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.—" It will be all the same a hundred years hence," is a phrase that is often used, but perhaps seldom realised. It is, however, a remarkable coincidence, that in the month of June , 1841, E. S. Chandos Pole, Esq., was defeated in a con tested election for the borough of Derby, by the Hon. J. G. B. Ponsonby, and that in the month of June, 1741, German Pole, Esq., the great gra ndfather of the one candidate, was defeated in a contested election for the same borough, by the then Lord Duncannon, the great grandfather of the other.

MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.—We have much sa tisfaction in learning that it appears from a letter, from 1 the Lord Bishop of Cashel and Waterford, to Sir John Newport, that the suit respecting the munificent be quest of the late Mr. Fanning to the poor of this . city, which has been pending in the Court of Chancery of England during so many years, and in which Sir John Newport interested himself much, is at last happily terminated by a decree of the Chancellor, directing the Master's report thereon to be con firmed, and that the sum of 34,000/. stock in Three per Cent. Consols should be forthwith transferred to the credit of the Board of Charitabl e Donations and Bequests in Ireland, for the benefit of the poor of Waterford. The transfer is expected to be made on the earliest day of Transfer, viz., the sth of July. Sir John Newport has been for a long series of years most assiduous in tracing out and satisfactorily establishing the claim of the city to this m unificent bequest, and the venerable Baronet has now the gratification a/seeing his indefati gable labour. successfully consummated, The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Cashel, since his translation to this See, has been the active and untiring colleague o f Sir John Newport in the ma tter.—.

MORNING SUN THE TRUE CONSEQUENCES 0 THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS. BY WILLIAM T. THORNTON, ESQ. In order the more clearly to see how little connection there is between wages and prices, let us suppose, for a moment, that the contrary was the case, and that wages and prices rose and fell together. When corn is unusually dear, it is be cause the quantity in the market is smaller than usual; and when the stock for the consumption of a country is unusually small, it is pretty evident that some part of the community must consume less than usual. Now, the question is, which are the classes that must submit to this depriva tion ? It cannot be the poor? for, although bread is dear, the rise in their wages gives them more money to buy it with ; and, as they are not likely to go without their usual quantity of bread, as long as they can afford to buy it, they, no doubt, continue to eat as much as before. But, as the labouring classes form by far the largest, as well as the hungriest part of the population, their unrestrained consumption would make fear ful havoc in an originally deficient stock of corn, and would leave but a very scanty supply for the use of the rich and middle orders, who would thus' be condemned to suffer all the inconveniences of scarcity, from which the poor were happily exempt. This is an advantage, strangely omitted by Xenophon, from the list, given in one of his small pieces, of the blessings attendant upon poverty; and it is equally remarkable, that it should not have been pointed outby some Chris tian writer, as one of the most striking among the merciful dispensations of Providence. The generosity of the employers of labour, in thus raising wages, is also deserving of the highest admiration : nor is their liberality more wondrous than their ability to exercise it on so large a scale. The population of England and Wales being, probably, about sixteen millions, the number of labourers for wages cannot be less than two millions; and if the family of each of these consume, on an average, eight quartern leaves a-week, or 416 a-year, the whole quan tity consumed in a year will be 83.2,000,000 quartern loaves. A rise of threepence per loaf would raise the price of this quantity of bread by 10,400,000/. ; and would render it necessary• for the employers of labour, to make an addition to the wages of their labourers to that extent. Surely, it is no sign of scepticism, to doubt whe ther charity was ever carried so far. But some of my readers probably pique them selves on being practical men. They may admit what has been said to be very good in theory ; but they want to see how it works in practice (just as if theory and practice were 't-ro distinct things, and as if one were any thing more than a description of the other); they want facts, and it is but right that they should be satisfied. The price of corn in this country has fluctuated very considerably during the last ten years—it has never been the same two years together—and, in 1835, it was 395., and in 1839 70s. per quarters Now, let it be asked (and the • question is one which every body, who has arrived at years of discretion, may answer for himself), whether 7ages, in 1835, were lower than in 1839 ? On th e contrary, it must be fresh in every one's re collect.: on, that the first was a year of unprece dented posperity to all but the agriculturists ; that our mb ,nufactures were 'highly flourishing, and every one who desired it obtained constant employment, at wages as high at least, and often higher, that ever before; whereas 1839, al though corn was nearly twice as dear, was a year of commercial distress, when many manufac turers stopped w ork, and the condition of the la bourer was depressed, either by a positive re duction of wages, or, which was the same thing in effect, by impos,libility of getting full em ployment. In AmeriCa7 and in all new colonies and newly-peopled countries, corn is cheap and wag A es are high. When a famine takes place in . -_low wages are India, men die, not because .ere is no food in the markets, but because theme ‘ not su ffi cient to purchase it. 1-.. T ow tan these facts, and hundreds of others of the same kind that might be cited, be explained upOL. any other hypothesis than that of the total want of con nection between prices and wages ? DETERMINED SUICIDE. An inquest was held on Wednesday afternoon, at the House of Correction, upon the body of Thomas Jack son, a prisoner, aged forty. Mr. Jackson, the Governor of the House. gave evidence respecting the deceased, who had been placed in his charge on the 6th of April last, to be held to hard labour for eight calendar months, having been found guilty of defrauding his emplever, Mr. John Flint, of the sum of 6/. ; it was his It.”st offence, and he bore the punishment very impatiently; he was exceedingly irritable, and sometimes remarkably quarrelsome. Robert Davison, surgeon, saw the deceased on Mon day, as he was unwell, and ordered him a little aperient medicine. He had a most veracious appetite. Saw no thing more of him till he was dead, when witness found him lying on the bed, on his side, with two considerable wounds on his neck ; one on the right side, rather super ficial in depth, about two inches and a half in length, and - one on the left side, about three inches long and very deep, and had divided the blood-vessels ; he had lost an immense quantity of blood. Could find no knife, but after the most diligent search, a small thin piece of brass, part of the boss of a lace bobbin, was found in the blood, and nothing else that it could be imagined possible for the wounds ,to have been inflicted with. The bit of brass had apparently been rubbed to a sharp edge on one side, and it was about the size of a sixpence. A person very determined on self destruction might inflict the wounds found on him. The wound on the left side of the throat was exactly in the direction of the vessels, which deceased well knew • having been a butcher, and accustomed to bleed calves, he would know where to find the vessel. Had seen him frequently, but certainly never observed him to be insane. There being no evidence to show that Jackson was of unsound mind, the Jury returned a verdict--That the said Thomas Jackson feloniously and maliciougly de stroyed himself by cutting his throat, and so he died, and not otherwise, as appears at this inquest. The deceased was heard at daybreak, on the morning of his death, and for several hours afterwards, at inter vals, reading aloud from " Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress," and also was heard to pray.—Nottinghain Review. The Pau journal relates that lately a person named Border°lle, who, during the season, kept an hotel at Saint Sauveur, in the Pyrenees, lost his life in the following extraordinary manner, at Luzen Bareges. Having gained a lawsuit, which put him in possession of a very large property, he gave a grand dinner to a party of friends ; but while he was singing some couplets, made by himself for the occasion, was struck with apoplexy, fell from his chair, and died in stantaneously. FALMOUTH. —Her Majesty's steam-packets Magnet, Lieut. Griffiths, and Pigeon, Lieut. James, arrived on Thursday - the former from the Brazils and the latter from Mexico, a freight of 11,000,000 dollars.

DISTRESS IN KILKENNY.—From well authen ticated statements made at the meeting of the Board of Trade on Monday night, it appears that great numbers of the poor of this city, particularly the woollen opera tives, are in a state of starvation. —Kilkenny Journal. Marguerite Boudet, a single woman, 76 years of age, living in the Rue Contrescarpe, was taken till about a fort night ago, and was sedulously attended bi two of her nieces. The morning before last, she perceived death approac hin g , and desired th a t a no t ar y should be sent for to make her will. A s she had always lived as if she were in a state of . poverty, her two attendants, believing that she was delirious, hesi tated, and reminded her that this would create an expense, which they had no means of paying.

MEDICAL ATTENDANCE ON THE POOR.--• We were glad to hear it stated by Mr. Guthrie, in the course of the lectures lately delivered by him at Lin coln's Inn-fields, that in consequence of the solicitations and representations of the President and Council of the College of Surgeons, the Poor-law Commissioners had agreed to propose a clause to Lord John Russell, to be introduced into the amended Poor-law Bill. preventing the employment in the charge of the poor of any medi cal person who was not duly qualified as a physician, or surgeon, or surgeon and apothecary, after March 1842, except under very particular circumstances —a statement of which must be annually laid before Parliament. If this be faithfully carried into effect, we believe that about seven hundred gentlemen now employed by the different Union officers will be displaced at the next ap pointment. Mr. Guthrie also stated, that he had reason to believe that a more just scale of remuneration, parti • cularly for cases of operation, compound fractures, and protracted labours, would be adopted. He added, in conclusion, that the President and Council would not fail to attend to these points, when this Bill should be again considered in Parliament.—Medical Gazette. Mn.
