A controversy has arisen between the Morning Chronirie 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 question 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. KNATCFIBULL. 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 - ROBERT PEEL will not have boldness enough, even though encouraged by the proverbial bearing of the great DUKE,' to risk the consequences or proroguing the Par liament for six months. We go further. We do not believe the QEEEN will act upcn such ad even though it should be tendered to her." Sever Town Council s , several cities, par i shes, t.: l and public bodies are h o ldi ng meetings to me niorialize the QJ;EN not to prorogue the Parlia ment till the Corn-lai7s be altered. Will they bend the determination of the squires and their inan ? Will any amount of distress influence , their judgment? We are afraid not. Till there b e I union amongst the people, they can afford to de affirm—believing, of cours e spise them , and t h e y —that the distress is iu nowise caused by the Corn -laws. It is the res u lt o f over production, bank paper, th e y say. Th ey will o r too much no t yield, t h er efore, to any de monstrat i on which , can now possibly be made, and w ill di sregard all representations of distress. But if no distress, of opinio:l in the manufactur and no expre ssicn ing districts w ill e ither frighten or soft en t h e the self-willed ir e n, who are constituted a strong Government, to c ontinue a great oppression —if d at all Lizards, to starve they are cleterrnirie 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--dnothing short of rebellion against the bread to -goys will shake them, and there be n o chance o f rebellion—then we must concl u d e th a t Sir FiOBERT PEEL is his impatience is gratified, the Corn-law ques tion is settled by his accession to office, and many capitalists may prepare themselves f o r decay, and many labourers for starvation. 40- In the debate last Friday, Mr. CosnEN'said- - The wages of labour were the rations of the poor ; but the ina]ority of that House, by diminishing the market f ur l a b our, were lessening those rations. The labouring classes should know who it was that robbed them. It was not the capitalists. He said solemnly that he believed no calamity could be more deeply felt by the manufacturers in Lancashire and Yorkshire than that they should be driven to the necessity of lowering wages. The capitalists were aware that the worst thing for them was to have a badly -remunerated population. We believe Mr. COBDEN, and moreover we believe that the capitalists of the manufacturing districts, begin tofeelperplexity and dread. What ever degradation, and whatever humiliation may fall on the working clas ses, the capitalists appear ,yrtheil4Aing classes to b e the instruments of rel l „aritEediately'Mflicting it. I N - ecessarily they up '.?-. hold all the rws in their r espective neighbour hoods; and tri s seem (if th e l aws be unjust) to albe the oppre ' rs of their own workmen. They ', are, by the operation of the m ar k et, forced to e Y" :t levy the leillorde tax on the op erat i ve's loaf, '\... - 5 and thus appear to be his plunderers. For too long a period, unforturat. , they made common cause with the landlords, imitated ` their vices, and helped them to keep t►e 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 lesserihig - 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 sal'," 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 an d 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 ! ! and above all, forbid it you, the workinc , men of Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland ! ! ! LTp then, brave men, arouse in your thousands, and show your united strength, by protecting your only property, your all in all, hbour, without which the world would be an universal desert. High taxes, high rents, large profits, with low wages, will ruin any nation in the world ! ! The war of labour against capital, which has been for some time slumbering, will again be roused; fresh contentions will spring up, and fresh strife will add to the insecurity which al ready prevails in the manufacturing districts ; 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 saying that there are no circumstances and no laws which give the capitalist an advantage in 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 th? 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 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 ciety-. 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, tlking a different view of Mr. WAILEY'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 Fins!)ury 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 new not to regard the triumph of our opponents as an evil, and glory in the chains 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 direction, 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 maj9rity 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 the street, instead of placing him in the dock at the Old Bailey. If Mr.WAKLEY be sincere in avow ing Radical principlcs, his conduct in smoothing the way of the starvation and aristocratic Ali njsters sexcessi v ely silly.

Their contents are of no political interest. The National complains loudly of the injury done to its circulation by seizures upon charges which a Jury cannot be brought to entertain, and expresses a belief that the Government intends to crush political discussion altogether. No serious disturbances took place on Monday night. The following extracts from the Papers include what news they contain of any interest : The total amount of the receipts from the Octroi duty of Paris, from the year 1830 to 1840, both inclusive NA 3007055,655 n A. letter fr( Several F Berlin be Swabian ii;•eurv, says .in par&ular lee Priif fia the • Order of the , Eagle.

The pre sence here of General de Rumigny, and that of General Hoche leben at Compiegne, may be regarded as a favourable in dication." The Havre papers mention that the English steamer, the Grand Turk, on coming into harbour on Saturday, ran against the head of the jetty, broke her bowsprit and sustained other damage. A few days since a servant girl at St. Omer having been told that to steam potatoes was the best way of cooking them, closed up an iron pot, in which she had put some to hod, with a luting of clay round the edge of the cover, and placed a heavy iron weight on the top to keep the steam in. An explosioii of course ensued, and the girl was severely scalded, but not dangerously. A correspondent at Mechlin writes to the Independant of Brussels :—" Two young men, one 21 and the other only 19, who, from their language and manners, seemed to belong to a wealthy family in Holland, committed suicide a few mornings since in the garden of one of our principal:hotels. Their names are unknown ; they had no papers with them ; and all that is known is, that they have been several weeks in Belgium, going re peatedly from Brussels to Antwerp in the public vehicles ; that they had a great deal of money with them • and passed a gay life, spending upwards of I,ooof. a -day. T hey left a note for the master of the hotel, in which it was merely ,aid that their parents would pay their debts." " Pope Gregory XVI.," says the Diario di Roma, " who has re-established the order of St. John of Jerusalem within his States, has formed the idea of tailing it back to the primi tive object of its institution, whence it derived its name of Hospitaliers of St. John, and has conferred on it the direction of the pontifical military hospital, into which are received soldiers of every class. As soon as the Lieutenant of the Order was made acquainted with this intention of his Holiness, he hastened to prepare for the purpose the vast building granted by the Pope to the Order near the Ponte Sisto, in which 500 beds have been placed, and which was ready on the Ist inst. to receive as many sick. Ihe Pope has been in per son with all due ceremony to bestow his benediction on the new establishment." Marshal Soult has resumed his residence at Meudon The Journal du Havre publishes the following report of the capture of the Gabriel, communicated by Captain B:ay, of the Jeune Pauline, just arrived at Havre, from Rio Janeiro : " The English b •ig Acorn having, in latitude 5 N., perceived at a great distance a vessel pillaging another, made chase, and instantly the Gabriel hoisted all her sail, and endeavoured to escape. At three in the afternoon the Acorn fired, and the Gabriel returned the fire, at the same time hoisting Portuguese colours. The chase continued for twelve hours, during the whole of which time firing was kept up by both vessels, but eventually the Gabriel was dismasted, and captured. She was sent to St. Helena. but her crew, consisting of 58 men, Spaniards and others, were put on hoard an English vessel at Rio. The captain jumped overboard du ring the chase, with all his papers. The merchandize found on board the Gabriel is valued at 8,0001. The Acorn had not time to ascertain to what country the vessel which was being, pillaged by the Gabriel belonged, but she carried English co lours." Captain Blay also reports that the English merchants resident at Rio have presented Captain Lecesannet, of the Ito land, with a handsome gold chronometer and snuff-box, and given to each of his crew a hundred francs, in testimony of the sense entertained of their humanity in saving the crew and pas sengers of the India." We have learned the following further particulars of the late unfortunate duel, which took place at the Lucca Ba•lis, from a source on which we can place every reliance :—" The origin of the misunderstanding between Dr. Crooke and Mr. Plow den, appears to have been of long standing. but the imme diate cause of the duel occurred at a ball given by the Bache lors at the Lucca Baths; where Mr. Plowden was in conver sation with a lady, when Dr. Crooke came up to him and offered him a gross insult. Mr. Plowden requested his friend, Mr. C---, to ask for an apology from Dr. Crooke, which being peremptorily refused, left Mr. Plowden no alterna tive except that of requesting an early meeting to be ap pointed. It was agreed that the parties should proceed, at the termination of the ball, across the Modenese frontier. The principals were placed at 12 paces distance, and fired upon a signal given by Dr. Crooke's second. The parties fired almost instantaneously, the fire of Mr. Plowden taking an unfortunate effect. The parties shook hands, Dr. Crooke making use of the words, ' I forgive you, you have acted rightly.' Mr. Plowden and his second then left the ground and returned to Lucca. Dr. Crooke, who was surrounded by several of his friends, who had accompanied him to the ground, was conveyed back to the Lucca States, where he lingered until the evening following. When the melancholy circum stance was made known to the Duke of Lucca, who entertained a strong feeling of friendship to Dr. Crooke, he observed to those about him, that Mr. Plowden was forced into the unfor tunate affair, adding, If you drive me into a cor n e r , w h a t can I do but defend myself.' _ _ The Temps, in remarking the spirit of equity which presides over the taking of the census, and how little it can injure the lower classes of society, who are excited to oppose it, says, that there are in France 1,200,000 persons liable to the patente du ties or dues for licences to trade, 900,000 of whom (that is the three lowest classes) have long had this tax imposed upon them to the utmost rigour of the law, and, therefore, can have nothing to fear from any new assessment, since it can only touch the richer and most influential of patentable persons, who have hitherto been always more favoured. To this the Moniteur Parisien odds, that in Paris there are not, perhaps, two houses of an inferior order which do not pay the legitimate amount of their taxes; but it has been discovered that many sumptuous mansions have been rated at no more than thirty or forty windows, when ; in fact, they have perhaps as many as 150. Near Paris, says the last-Mentioned journal, a vast chateau has been found set down at sixty windows, when in fact it had 300. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 11.341.

WINDSOR, u asnAy.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex arrived at the Castle at five o'clock this afternoon, on a visit to her Alajesty. His Royal Highness' was received by Viscount Sydney, Lord in Waiting; Vice Admiral Sir Robert Otway, Groom in Waiting; and Colonel Wemyss, Equerry is Wei*. The unfavourable state of the weather this morning pre vented the Queen and Prince Albert taking their accustomed early drive. At half-past four o'clock this afternoon her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort drove out in a pony phaeton, the Prince driv ing, attended by Sir Edward Bowater on horseback, and fol lowed in a carriage by Lady Portman, Hon. Matilda Paget, and Hon. Miss Lister. The Princess Royal has been taken an airing. Lady Vivian, and the Hon. Miss Vivian, Colonel and tie Hon. Mrs. Arbuthnot, and Mr. George Edward Anson, will have the honour of joining the Royal Dinner Party at the Castle this evening. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and the Princess Au gusta of Cambridge honoured with their presence the per formances at her Majes:y's Theatre for Mr. Balfe's benefit cn Wednesday evening, and afterwards left town for their resi dence at Kew. Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. Ewart, Colonel Rawdon, and Mr. Hawse, a deputation on the subject of the Report of the Com mittee of last Sessions on the Fine Arts, had an interview with Sir Robert Peel yesterday at his official residence in Downing street. A deputation from Scotland on the subject of Education, headed by Air. Stove, and accompanied by Sir James Graham, had an i n t erv i ew with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at his official residence in Downing-street yesterday. Lord Stanley arrived in town on Wednesday night from Lancashire. The Colonial Minister dined with Lord Lyndhurst on Wed nesday evening at his residence in George-street. APPREHENSION OF SMUGGLERS.—A very extensive seizure of smuggled brandy was made by the inspec tor of the Bristol police and the officers of Excise on Monday last, in the neighboui hood of Bridgewater. A few days since, Inspector Bosworth received information that there were two waggons laden w.th brandy stationed at a beer-house at Congresbury. a village of Somersetshire The inspector upon recessing this intimation immediately went in search of the smugglers. On arriving at Congte.,bury, on Sunday, it was found that the waggons had been driven away at seven o'clock that morning. They next traced them to North Petherton, at which village the pursuers arrived at three o'clock on Monday morning. On examining the waggons they were found to contain 133 kegs, each of which contained about tour and a half gallons of spirits of brandy of very high strength. The men were immediately taken into custody, and the waggons, with their lading and six horses by which they were drawn, seized a nd d u ly b ran d e I w ith the Queen's mark. The prisoners were then conveyed to Bristol by the railroad, and, being taken back to Bridgewater, were charged before Mr. George Brown. After hearing the case, Mr. Brown or dered Kirtain to pay a fine of 100/. to the Queen, or in default to be impri:enad for four months in Wilton gaol and there kept to hard labour ; Richard Baulch to pay a fine of 501. to the Queen, or be imprisoned for three months; and Charles Baulch and Charles Edwards, against whom the evidence was not considered conclusive, were discharged. FRIENDSHIP. —Thou may'st be sure that he that will in private tell thee thy faults is thy friend, for he ad ventures thy dislike, and cloth hazard thy hatred, for there are few men that can e n d ure i t ; every man, for the most part, delighting in self -praise, which is one of the most universal follies that bewitcheth mankind.— Sir Walter .Raleigh. e Nute I rug R 5 .41 r wii TO 2 ' ,4 ,' r'''N :1" r~iti r D 04Mtit 04';pinthite " Who runs may read."

He is a member of the Secret Socie ties, and; states that there were some hundreds dressed in blouses in the crowd when he fired at the Du!:e d'Aumale. Had the Duke been killed the conspirators expected that the soldiers would fire upon the people, when the tocsin would have been sounded, and a revolu tion attempted. On Tuesday the Court of Peers met to receive the evidence of Quenesset. It appears that two shots were fired, and that there were four principals in the attempt to kill the Duke d'Aumale. The National w•as seized for the fifth, and the Gazette de France for the fourth, time on Monday, on the old charge of exciting hatred and contempt against the King's Government. The Messager announces the seizure of the Journal de:l'Eure and the Courrier de la Moselle, There are five prosecutions against the Emancipation of Toulouse ; its editor, and that of the Utilitaire are in prison. The Feuille de Douai, the Courrier d'lndre-et-Loire, the Hero of Caen, the Echo du Nord, the Sentincte des Pyrenees, have been likewise prosecuted. Yet this per secution of the press does not prevent emeutes and at tempts at the assassination of Royalty. The Journal des Debuts has the following remarks upon the cqrdiality with which the English press echoed the praises bestowed upon the King of the French by Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel : " We have to notice the general eagerness with which the English press joins in the unqualified admiration expressed for the King of the French by the two first statesmen in England, and certainly two of the most eminent men in Europe. Their noble language is but the faithful representation of the unanimous feeling of the people of England, and the sensation created abroad by each new attempt against the King or his family shows how society at large is affected by such criminal attempts, and that Europe comprehends that the repose of France, and the peace of the whole world are connected with the security of the King." PAILLIADIENTII.Ii.Y. The Peers met yesterday. They received several petitions, including one from Sir Harcourt Lees, tin. the expulsion of the Jesuits, the prayer of which, Lord Brovgbam, 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. The General Bill to continue such laws as may expire within a limited period, enacts " that all the laws now in force, and which would expire at the end of the Session of Parliament, or on or before the Ist day of January, 1842, shall be and•continue in full force to all intents and purposes until the 31st day of July, 1842." PIISLIC OPZNION. The Morning Post contains an article, whose evident, through not avowed, object, is to exalt the Tory system of legislation by underrating that of the Whigs :—" It was always the plan of the Whigs," says our Contempo rary, " to flatter the people with hope that they could set right whatever was wrong in the condition of th e p eo pl e . But they never succeed e d. As soon as one project failed they set up another, but it was only to produce fresh dis appointment. And thus it happened that the Whigs, who began their projects with a revolution in their favour, and an immense majority in the House of Commons, gradu ally lost that majority, and all public confidence. They - Promised to the people remedies for their real or fancied evils, but the people found no benefit from them."— The people "'lave certainly found no benefit -from Whig remedies, but it is because those remedies have not . been tried. That great experiment, in particular, of dis encumbering trade of the shackles that most heavily oppress it, was never even allowed to be brought for ward. The Tories were apprehensive it would succeed, so crushed it on the threshold. And what, pray, are the remedies these men propose, in lieu of those they condemned ? The answer may be summed up in a sentence—none at all ! The Chronicle is of opinion that Ireland will continue to be a thorn in Sir Robert Peel's side, notwithstanding his attempts at conciliation, and adds :—" Sir R. Peel may depend upon it the day of reckoning with his Irish supporters will not pass off so quietly as he thinks. For the services they rendered they must be requited. It will not do to tell them that measures like the Bill of Lord Stanley were taken up merely as convenient positions from which to assail their opponents, and which were to be abandoned the moment the fortress was carried. They naturally ask themselves What have we gained by this triumph ? Where are the spoils the hope of which sus tained us through so long a conflict ?' Where, indeed ! You have got Lord Eliot for your Secretary, with an as surance that his policy is to be a policy of conciliation ; you are debarred all hope of stopping the supplies to May nooth College (a cheering indication this to the mitre hunting M'Uhees and O'Sullivans) ; and lastly, as yet, the Registration Bill of Lord Stanley is put in abeyance? How much more do the Irish Protestants require before they find out' Sir Robert Peel ?" The hour is fast approaching when the Irish Orange men will discover that the Tory Premier is no more to be trusted by them, than he was, when—in defiance of all the repeated, solemn pledges he had made them to the contrary—he turned round, and carried Catholic Emancipation. He will deceive them, as he did then ; but he will not throw thorn overboard at once ; no, he is far too cunning for that ; he will just keep up the farce of acting with them, till he fancies himself strong enough to do without them ; and then send them adrift, to sink or swim, as may happen. We warn the Orangemen to keep a wary eye on Sir Robert Peel. He will sacrifice them, as he did poor Canning. We have no great respect fur these red-hot Irish Tories ; but in vigour and honesty we think them immeasurably supe rior to the trimming quacks who now hold power under the sneaking alias of Conservatives. The Times is delighted with Lord Stanley's speech on the occasion of his re-election for North Lancashire, observing—" In all respects it is a fitting accompani ment to that of his fellow-s ecre t ary at Dorcester—nay, without invidiously subjecting the ability of the two ad dresses to a comparison froth which, indeed, neither of them need shrink, and while perfectly admitting the equal merits of both in their distinctive scope, we feel warranted in saying that, owing to a curious accidental circumstance, Lord Stanley possesses a somewhat superior interest, not very dissimilar to that which attached to Scott's memorable disclosure when he avowed himself the au thor of Waverley As the great Northern writer had for many years been - the object of endless surmises and suspicions, which he had taken no pains either to encou rage or to allay, so it is well known that the noble heir of the house of Derby, having been supposed to have incurred the *uilt of political apostacy, has for a con siderable period been assailed with every epithet of party rancour, which, strong in the consciousness of his own rectitude, lie has treated with silent contempt." —To say that Lord Stanley's speech was a " fitting ac companiment" to that of Sir James Graham's at Dor chester, is a very left-handed compliment, wearing the aspect of irony ; for never was there a more vague, dri velling, spiteful tirade, than that perpetrated by the heavy-headed Netherby Baronet—the rejected of Cum berland, of Pembroke, of Westminster, and of divers other towns, counties, and cities, which we have neith er space nor time to enumerate. Nevertheless, we agree with, the Times that the North Lancashire affair was quite as good as the Dorchester affair ; and both were just what might have been expected—spiteful twaddle ! The Herald thus expresses itself on the subject of the new Poor-law :—" There was in the House last night a most satisfactory and wholesome expression of opinion as to the cruelties and severities of the English Poor law ; a hope was very generally expressed that Sir H. Peel would make great, alterations in the more strin gent provisions of that law, and in this hope a great majority of the public most warmly concur. It is indeed quite impossible that the Poor-law can remain in its present form; and it would be most unwise to continue the superintendence of any law that may be substituted for it in the hands of the present Poor-law Commissioners, or their secretary, who never can or will enjoy the confidence of the English people. The Poor law is a subject which cannot be shirked or got rid of by palliative amendments ; less than thorough will not do it.' It is the duty of the Conservative press to speak Out boldly on this subject ; any suppression of opinion is treachery to the great national party of which it is the organ." The Advertiser makes the following remarks on Sir R. Peel's studied silence :—" We warn Sir Robert Peel to beware. If he persists in his present silence he may dis cover with regret, when regret will be idle, that the commercial wealth of this country, though great, cannot continue under the existing system ; that its enterprise, though *Unbounded, must give way when its merchants are excluded, by an illiberal British code, from foreign markets ; and that the patience of a suffering peo ple must ultimately give way under the priva tions which they have so long heroically en dured. Let him speak out, therefore, when silence is useless, and before disclosure be unavailing."— Why should Sir R. Peel speak out, when a majority of ninety-one are in favour of his holding his tongue ? Why should he speak out, when the aristocracy, to a man, are ready to swear that nothing can be so prudent, statesmanlike, or beneficial to the country, as his pre ' sent silence? Above all, why should he speak out, when he has nothing to speak about? Such , no doubt , is the way in which - his party argues; but not so will the country argue; but infer, rationally enough, from his reserve, that he has neither inclination nor capacity to devise such remedial measures as may suit the interests of the people. The Dublin Evening Post remarks, in reference to Sir R. Peel's Irish policy :—" Sir Robert Peel, with his ha bitual dexterity, availed himself of the complimentary remarks of Lord John Russell respecting the principal Irish appointments, to make a very premature boast that he had already got over th e great difficulty of governing Ireland. The first factious proceeding — the first indica tion, upon the part of the Irish Government, towards the old insulting and tyrannical Tory system, will prove to Sir Robert Peel that he has reckoned without his host." The folliminfr froin the CM enho rn, npr ted rh declining state of track., the prospects fur the ensuing winter are discouraging in the extreme." COZVTIVIERCIAX, nz..FORIVE. At the meeting of Proprietors held at the East India House yesterday, an alteration was proposed in an exist ing by-law, which prohibits any Director, officer, or ser vant of the Company in Europe, trading either from or to India, otherwise than in the Company's joint-stocis:, by which it was shown that trading with Australia, Africa, and many of the best ports in the world, was restricted from the Directors.

MONEY and COM UERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Funds have not been animated, but there is still the same steadiness in prices, which having settled down to the point, or indeed rather above the point, at which it is reckoned profitable to convert, Exchequer Bills are not apparently in clined to move until after that operation is completed. Consols for immediate transfer were marked 89% to 89%, and for Account 89 1 / to %. Exchequer Bills were firm at 14s. to 16s. premium, although it seems probable now that they wili not be so much wanted as was at first expected, seeing that half the payment for the new conversion may be made in money.

Ttie object of the series of communications of which this is the commencement is to give a full 'sassing description of all that is to be found useful or interest ing in perambulating this rich and spacious metropolis, and such of its immediate environs as may nearly be said to form a part cf it. It is intended to glance at all that may be desirable to be known, either by the permanent resident or the casual visitor. The sketches are intended to include the fashions—the promenades, with their splendid restaurants and elegant cafes—the saloons, and the various entertainments they afford— the manufactories and warehouses, with the infinite variety of specimens of art, taste, luxury, splendour, convenience, and comfort to which the industry of the capital contributes so largely. Our correspondent does not propose to confine himself to any formal order or arrangement, but to notice each object as it presents itself—to catch " The Cynthia of the minute" as it may chance to meet his eye—in the course of his discursive rambles ; selecting for description, how ever, only such as are most attractive from their taste, elegance, or importance. Paris, perhaps, above all the capitals of the world, affords the most ample materials for such a task, abounding, as it does beyond all places, in all t hat is captivating to the wealthy, and desirable for the less affluent. Our " peregrinater"commenee3 with an account of a visit he lately had occastoa to make to the beautiful Parc de St. James, at Neuilly :—" I reached this charming spot (he writes) by tne humble, but most commodious, conveyance of the omnibus—a vehicle which, en passant, demands a volume of com mendation—starting from the Louvre, which may be calla d the heart of hearts' of the metropolis. Tee Parc de St. James has long been distinguished by the sobriquet of Les Folies, which is derived from the enor mous, and, as some persons have thought, the some what insane expenditure of M. de St. James in its crea tion. Be this, however, as it may, the outlay has pro duced the most delightful retreat that is to be found within the entire circle of the metropolitan suburbs, and one, indeed, rarely met with anywhere else. The mansion is a concentration of all that can be de sired for comfort, luxury, and internal enjoyment. Its grounds comprise enchanting varieties of sweeping, lawns, o'ershadowed by trees, the growth of ages, re freshed and tempered in the summer heats by a length ened piece of water, and varied with numerous fancy buildings and picturesque rocks, pierced with subterra nean passages, in which one may wander, secure from the overpowering heat of a too ardent sun. All the enjoyments here described come within the reach of not only private families, with there equipages and servants, but of the solitary bachelor ; who, taking with him but his portmanteau, or more convenient carpet bag, may come hither, and find an apartment to his taste, with his table spread, and every attendant convenience. The value of this lovely retreat to the invalid and convalescent is obvious. The first may be sure of finding every relief from their sufferings that air and repose can afford ; and the second, the means of promoting and enjoying the re turn of the first of blessings. Such is the refined taste and perfect judgment with which all the arrangements are framed, that every indulgence which a fortune of thousand a-year could supply, may be obtained at this establishment at a very economical rate. This mag nificent residence has yet been opened but a very few weeks, but it is already inhabited by numerous guests, and before the end of the season, it requires little of the spirit of prophecy to predict, that every chamber and nook within its walls will have its occupant. I must not, however, dwell too long on the seductions of this enchanting spot, but wend my way once more towards Paris. Alighting under the arcades of the Rue de R.voli, I stroll up the Rue Castiglione. Here, willy nilly, I am involuntarily arrested at No. 8, by the artistical display in the magazines of M. Debraux d'Anglure, of numerous works in bronze, which, in design and execution, are worthy .to vie with the purest specimens handed down from antiquity. These gems of modern skill entirely supersede the too ordinary objects with which even our richest man sions have been incumbered. M. Debraux has gimen an immense impetus, and altogether a loftier direction, to this special branch of elegant domestic ornament. His establishment also comprises rich specimens of can delabra and branches for the chimney-piece ; as also larger works in bronze, adapted to occupy distinguished places in the galleries of the cognoscenti. The dimi nutive bears of Fratin—the noble statuettes of 1111 rochetti—and the classic groups of Claudlon, receive equal honour at the hands of M. Debraux. He is now occupied not only upon new ornaments for chimneys and consoles, but upon the formation of figures of dogs —the dumb best friend of man'—large as life, with representations of animals in combat with each other. A statuette at lull length of Latour d'Auvergne, after Marochetti, in which the countenance, the attitude, the costume, and the folds of the drapery, are replete with grace and expression, demands special note of parting commendation. Turning the corner into the Rue St. Honore, I could not but pause before the well called Masson de Cotifiance,' Ste. Barbe, deriving its name and justly-earned reputation from its never dkvi sting from the prices affixed to every article. These embrace every thing that can be required for the most fasti' ions toilet, from the most ordinary linen up to the finest lace, muslins, and the richest shawls of India or France, with sarsenets and Marcslines, for the highest parurc, and splendid brocade for Court dresses. Here, likewise, are to be found the handsomest materials for every species of household linen and draperies. All articles, as I have said, are here found marked at the lowest charge their nature and cost in ma nufacturing will admit of. Crossing the Place Vea home, and sauntering along the Rue de la Paix, could I resist the temptations exhibited at No. 24, hi so many of the fanciful ccquetteries of fashion— its beautifully open-worked silk stockings, of the finest texture, with ladies' mittens, richly and eleaantly wrought, supplying the place of gloves and jewels ; the beauty of which may be imagined, when we state that the price of them is no less than 20f. a-pair. M. Sarazia's attentions to the ladies has not, however, led him to neglect the gentlemen, for here are mstchless specimens of black and white silk stockings, delicately worked by the hand, and likewise those of net-work, so much in request during the present hot weather, I could not quit the establishment without pausing to admire the light and delicate net scarfs, of all sizes, worked in raies chinees, or in the fashionable style of the Scotch plaid, with squares of colours varied ad ia s finitton, producing a brilliant or more sober effect, according to their combinations. These arc made to be worn, either on the promenade with other scarfs or shaws, or thrown lightly over the neck alone, when entering the ball-room or the saloon in low dresses. At this warehouse are also delicate fiches of net-work, in black or white silk, equally calculated for die saloon, and almost rivalling those of lace. Here my stroll terminated for the day. In my next I pro pose to entertain you with the novelties produced by the return of the shooting season, and in particular with those of M. Roolf, tailor, No. 10. Rue de Louvoie, who, with a skill worthy the princely Schneider's, told of in the Arabian Nights, contriiei to unite fashion with taste and comfort. Before saying adieu, 1 must, however, bestow one word upon the latest novelty in the world of fashions, namely, the Colierette Gizelle, richl) embroidered, and hemmed with ahund ince of the finest lace, and cut in a style of the hap piest grace, is the reigning mode of the day. —Galignani. " A LOUNGER." HOP INTELLIGENCE. WO R C E sT E it, SEPT. 20.—Our market on Saturday was supplied with 106 pockets of the new growth of hops, but owing the extr avagan t ra t es d eman ded by the planters , only 13 pockets of th em were so ld ; the prices obtained be in g f r om 110 s. to 6/. per cwt. At our great annual fair,held this day, a further supply o f about 500 pockets wer e pitched for sale, o f which 447 po c k e ts, besides 68 of old hop s, were weighed, the prices quoted below, contrary to general expectation, being at length freely given. The average quality of the samples was considered to be very good, though there were a few of a very ordinary character, which were not easily disposed of. The planters made great complaints of the hops coming down light and the general unevenness of the crop, many of the hops being full ripe, whilst others in the same garden at. still quit e green, so that great care is required in pickin g them.
