Upwards of six hundred clergymen are ex pected to attend the Anti-Corn-law Conference which will be held to-morrow at Manchester. This movement of the clergy, and more espe daily of the Dissenters, in favour of the famish ing poor, has quite alarmed the Tories. They affect to be shocked at the idea of priests trou bling themselves about the things of this worn, and remind them that religion, not politics, em braces the sphere of their duties. The Tories can see a mote in a brother's eye, but they cannot discern the beam in their own. The assembling of priests at Manchester to advocate the repeal of one bad law shocks them, but they can see no impropriety in a number of priests mee ting at a house of ill-repute in Westminster, to enact scores of bad laws every year. What excites horror when done at a Conference in Manchester, is applauded in the House of Lords. What is rank irreligion in the Curate, is piety in if priests are to b e ex the Bishop. Now , eluded from all intermeddling with politics, here th let the reform b e g in . w al Bench, e so far scandal as is greatest—with the E p iscop the religious principle is concerned. One set of priests have as much righ t to insist upon the re peal of a law as another set can have to enact it. The Gospel authorises no distinction here; nor can any honest or consistent man make any. To throw discredit upon the meeting at Manches ter, we must begin by removing the Bishops from the House of Lords. But if there be in the whole range of ethics one question connected with politics which a priest is justified in regarding wholly in a reli gious light, it is this of the Corn-laws; to feed the hungry is a Christian duty; to starve the poor, whether by bad laws or otherwise, a heinous offence against Gov and man. And who are so frequently eye-witnesses of the dreadful effects of these starvation-laws, as the working . clergy ? In the faithful discharge of their pas toral duties they are brought in perpetual con tact with the thousands who are daily perishing from want of bread in all the large cities and tows throughout the Kingdom. The cries of the hungry are daily ringing in their ears; they are familiar with those dens of misery into which a bread-taxin.; oligarchy drives the fam ished artizan to hide himself, that he may die out of sight. They know the dark thoughts and darker deeds which starvation engenders in the desperate wretches whom the Corn-laws have doomed to hopeless penury. They must be sensible that four-fifths of the crimes pre vailing among the poor, have their origin in hunger produced by dear bread. No wonder, then, that some of the most eminent Dissenting clergymen regard the re peal of the Corn-lass as a duty which religion, rightly understood, imposes in an especial man ner t pon the priesthood. The Corn-laws starve the poor, and make them discontetted and irre ligious. They are therefore in the highest degree immoral and impious. Now it is ,the duty of the priests to oppose what ever ma kes men bad, as not only per .. r a d _ - ‘ a* to Sc ' d ety, but it*of as contrary to the % -lon. The voluntal y fasts of the rich are SOMetiraes very co luraendable, and very healthy; but the compulsory fasts of the poor are alike in jurious to the health of soul and body. The Irish people have been long celebrated for the fidelity of their attachments, and their gratitude to those who treat them kindly. We are not, therefore, surprised at the impassioned feeling displayed in Dublin last week, at a large meeting convened for the purpose of testifying the gratitude of the Irish people to Lord MOR PETH for his useful labours in behalf of that ca lumniated and long-oppressed nation. The first Peer of Ireland was in the chair, and he was supported by the first men in the country, all anxious to show their gratitude to a man alike distinguished by his private and his public virtues, and distinguished in that country, above all other Secretaries, by the humane, the generous, and firm conduct which he displayed in performing the duties of an office so beset with difficulties. We may safely say that no Irish Secretary ever gave such universal satisfaction as Lord MORPETH. No Orangeman ever complained of his conduct. Mr. O'CONNELL on one occasion did, but at the meeting he made ample amends for his hasty remarks ; and at the conclusion one universal opinion prevailed as to the beneficial effects of the policy adopted by Lord MORPETH. " Two-thirds of the Representatives of Ireland," said one of the speakers, " would be willing, and they would have the consent of their constituents, to resign in his favour." This statement was received with loud cheers, and will be cheered through out nearly the whole of Ireland. We do not envy his successor. Bayonets and guns, and troops of cavalry and long lines of infantry, are, after all, feeble means for pre serving the peace of a country compared with mild and conciliatory measures. This system was commenced by Lord NORMANDY, it has been fol lowed up by Lord EBRINGTON and Lord MORPETII, and we fear will be looked back to with painful and perhaps angry feelings when their successors come into office. It will be seen from the Re port of the meeting, that a resolution was adopted, inviting Lord MORPETH to a public dinner. We cannot conceive any occasion on which the guest would be so welcome or the en tertainers so anxious to do him honour. The Tory organs have all taken to preaching up the Church, and crying down the Dissenters. Their Bible is the Thirty-nine Articles, and their text a homily. They treat all who refuse to listen to them as little better than infidels, and they insinuate that if they do not call them by that odious appellation, they are restrained more by good breeding than by any scruple of conscience respecting its being unmerited. Now we cannot consent to let the Tories brand with infidelity that very large pro portion of the people of England whom the corruptions and abuses of the Established Church forced to retire from its communion. The people of England are pre-eminently a religious people. Their imagination is not worked upon by tangible objects like the Italians ; they have not the quick sensibilities of the French; the Scotch exceed them in a headlong zeal, and the Irish in an undiscriminating enthusiasm; but in that deep conviction of religious truths which regulates the moral conduct and the moral sen timents—which influences not the feelings and the imagination but the judgment, the heart, and all that proceeds from them—no people ever surpassed the English. Their religion is a prin ciple, not a passion ; they believe from conviction and from the innate desire to supply a moral want, not from the craving of an appetite for strong excitement like our continental neigh bours; and hence the rapidity with which the Reformation overspread England. Religious shows, and processions, and image-worship, and pilgrimages to shrines, chapels, and to holy wells, while they shocked their moral sense, were not wanted to keep alive their devotional feelings. The first Reformers, therefore, in attacking these outworks of Popery, had no trouble in convincing the people of the holiness of their mission. While they pulled down the fabric of supersti tion with one hand, they held out the New Tes tament with the other, inviting all men to judge from its sacred pages the amplitude of their com mission from the mouth of CHRIST SO to act in his service. In the calm judgment of the people of England they found a ready and an approving response. The New Testament became to them the only rule of faith, and private judgment— that judgment to which the Reformers appealed against the absurd and impious pretensions of Rome—its only interpreter. Nov, it is because the people of England are a pre-eminently religious people—because religion is with them a principle, and not an excitable im pulse—because they presume to be guided by the doctrines of the New Testament—because they display that hostility to ecclesiastical pride, pre sumption, rapine, and sluggishness in the . LOßD's vineyard, which induces such hireling recreants as the Times, and such pro-Popery bigots as the Standard, to brand large bodies of them with the odious epithets of atheists and infidels. The pro gress of Dissent from the Church of England at tests the condemnation of that Church by the public judgment, and the deep religious con victions of the people, who seek in other wells for the living waters of eternal life. When they grow dissatisfied with the apos tolical labours of the Most Reverend Father in GOD, his Grace the Lord Archbishop of CAN TEREURY, or the Right Reverend Father in GOD the Lord Bishop of LONDON, they do not cast their Bibles from them from any conscientious dread that a comparison of the lives of the RE DEEMER and his Apostles, with those of these meek, and holy, and self-denying Prelates, would fill them with despair for the injustice of which they had been guilty in rejecting the ministry of the Right Rev. saints-militant. The farther they remove from the splendours of Anglican Episcopacy, the closer do they press the sacred volume to their hearts. In wending their way to what the pride of State-Religion calls the Conventicle, they hold in their hands that inextinguishable torch which was a light to the eyes and a guide to the feet of LUTHER, of MELANCTHON, and all the great Apostles of the Reformation. If then, by the Church, the Tories mean the religion of the Gospel, there is small need to call upon the peopl e of England to support it. They hoval‘- witheal vayss pi , supp o rted it, and they support it n Church, theundiminished zeal. But if, by the Torie s 1 , 4 ,7 mean Archbishops and Bishops, Deans and Chapters, and Prebendaries an d Pluralities, an d pulsory tithes and Church-rates, we fear it be necessary to take t h e ir Bibles out of the hands of the people, and to make the exercise of private can be judgment .. a capi taloffence, before they -- eptures in their brought to stir a step in its suppo rt. Wi th the R -; hands, it will be impossible to persuade them that the REDEEMER shall have shed one drop less blood for the sins of the world because Dr. p H POTTS ceases to be a Pe er, and the successor s fishermen and tent-makers no longershare titles, and honours, and palaces with Kings. The Tim es , a short while ago, called for a new translation o f the Bible. We are astonished such a cry w as n ot raised by the Bishops two centuries past. Though made by themselves, the common authorised version is so little favourable to the Christianity exhibited in their lives, that it might be taken for the production of the Society of Friends. Not a word is there in it about the enthronement of their Right Reverend FatliershiPs in God the Lords Bishops PETER, and PAUL, and TIMOTHY, and TinTs, and the other Right Reverend Members of the Apostolo-Episcopal Bench. The inspired recorder of the Acts of the Apostles has, in the authorised version, omitted a description of their palaces, there glebes, their - princely revenues, their sena torial honours, their trains of attendants, and their distinctive liveries. In any new transla tion or the Scriptures advocated by the Church of Englund, as represented by the clergy, it will be- necessary to supply ' these omissions if it be '• oil. ,‘ .'- N. , . ... r.,. 3 -,L, ~ - )7 . ~..,., . _ ..,,...., . -... . ~Aoi.,/,), :4 • ...,,s /L. _. -0, I .... git, 1 . ...,',"1, ~41:."-:,:,•,',i, -6W-*,,."-,s“.;tl.,' ,''''''''' ' ' ' ' THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 16 1841. intended to enlist in its support the great bulk of I the honest English Dissenters. The present ' version of the New Testament and the Bishops cannot command co-ordinate reverence from the same believer. To be guided by the Bible is to give up the law-constituted Bishop, and much of what is adhered to most tenaciously by the law established Church. We, of course, allude par ticularly to those secular advantages which the State confers upon the Bishops and the Church, and which the Bishops claims to be part and parcel of religion. We are every day hearing of the want of new churches, and of new Bishops, but never of the want of Dissenting Ministers and places of wor ship. This shows that it is within the Established Church the least true religion is to be found. When the Dissenter wants a church or a teacher, he provides both in silence ; but the Protestant of the law-established sect looks to Parliament and the pockets of his neighbours for the requi site supply of spiritual consolation. Of the two, who is the more combined with the Gospel spirit—the believer who builds his own church and pays his own teacher; or he who compels his unbelieving neighbours to do these things for him? Of the teachers who is the wore apostolical—he who leaves his hire to be regulated by the recipients of his labour, by the voluntary attendants upon his ministry ; or lie who never opens his mouth till he has stipulated for a fixed compulsory re ward, to which the absent objects of his bitter est contumely must contribute equally with his bearers? As those Journals which call them selves the friends of the Church, have taken the field against Dissenters, under the auspices of PEEL and the Tories, it becomes imperative upon uF, as friends of the people, to unmask their hypocrisy, and place the object of their championship in a proper light before the country. We have said that there is no want of religion in England. Before we have done with this question we hope to be able to demon strate that there is too much of it, and too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, for the Tories to hope to enlist them under the banners of Church and State Episcopacy, with its countless abuses. The manifesto of the Spanish Government, in answer to the Papal allocution, is a most impressive document. If it find a ready re sponse in the hearts of the Spanish people, the wind-enslaving sceptre of Rome is for ever broken in the Peninsula. It strips the Papacy of the hypocritical mask under the guise of which rebellion was fostered in Spain,—it makes known the pains taken by the POPE to conceal from the people the crimes of the Spanish clergy, by invoking restrictions upon the freedom of the press—and it defines those limits between the temporal and the spiritual power which, if rigidly a dhered to by the Spanish Government, will effectually check future irregular 4 ies from preposterous pretensions on the part of the Holy See. In fact, it completely turns the tables upon the POPE, whom it proves "to have aided and encouraged all the attempts of Don CARLOS upon the crown of Queen ISA BELLA and the liberties of the Spanish people. While ESPARTERO describes the allocution as a " new brand" cast by the Father of the Faithful upon the half-extinguished flame of civil strife, he reminds his Holiness, with caustic severity, that the " times of odious memory" are no more, when a menace from the Vatican could " shake the earth." If the Consistory at Rome was not composed of bigots, whose fanatical zeal denied them the exercise of common sense, they would have long since discovered, and have impressed upon the POPE, the still more disagreeable but sa lutary fact, that the times have gone by when Rome could with impunity menace any Govern ment. The power of the POPE rests upon associa dons and recollections, which disappear iu the attempt to test their potency. When challenged, the wrath of Rome becomes either a phantom or a grotesque absurdity. An old pedagogue threatening full-grown men with the chaStisements which he inflicted upon them when children under his tuition, would cut as for midable a figure as the Bishop of ROME threaten ing the nations of Europe in the nineteenth cen tury with those thunders of the Vatican which so terrified them in the fourteenth and fifteenth. ESPARTERO can render no service to Spain more important than that of subjecting the eccle siastical to the civil power. The Spanish Church stands in need of a complete reform, and the present is an excellent occasion for beginning this good work. Four-fifths of the clergy are men either ofimmoral lives or so scandalously ignorant as to be scarcely qualified to perform their priestly functions. Many who daily read their breviaries could as easily fly as they could translate their diurnal recitations. Instances of such ignorance are indeed quite common in Spain. These men are, naturally enough, the sworn foes of a free press, and of every plan of popular education. They have sense enough to know that even the inviolable sanctity with which, in the opinion of all orthodox Roman Catholics, ordination has invested their persons, would not save them from contempt and ridicule were the simplest elements of literary knowledge accessible to the whole of the people of Spain. Heresy in the mouths of these persons means a knowledge of the arts of reading and writing, and this, like the "No Popery" cry in England, is sure to be raised by the fanatics against the REGENT for having entered the lists of controversy with the POPE. If then the public voice of Spain support ESPARTERO in issuing the manifesto, of which a portion is given in another column, there is an end, as we before observed, of the Papal power in the Peninsula. In Saturday's Sun we anticipated most of the news in the Paris Journals of Thursday. The following additional extracts from them are suffi ciently interesting to claim a place in our co lumns : The Gazette de France publishes the following ex tract of a letter from the Duke de Fitz-James, relative to the accident of the Duke de Bordeaux, dated Kirchberg, 3d inst. :—" It was on the 28th ult., between three and four in the afternoon, at two leagues from Kirchberg, near Schrems, that the accident occurred. The Prince was riding a young horse, which he had purchased in Bohemia; a waggon drawn by oxen was going by, and the horse refused to advance. M. de Locmaria wished to pass first before the Prince, thinking that the other horse would then follow him ; but Henri de France would-not allow it, as being a bad lesson to teach the animal, and at the same moment dug his spurs into the horse's sides. The animal reared straight up, turned over, and fell with all his weight on the Prince, who still held the bridle, and had not given up his seat. The Duke tried to get up, but the left thigh was broken in the upper part. Henri de Bourbon then des patched M. de Forests, one of the persons accompanying him, to fetch assistance from Kirchberg. Notwithstand ing the pain he suffered, he retained all his presence of mind, and recommendedthe messenger to say nothing that would frighten his aunt and his sister. M. de Foresta, who was much alarmed, turned pale. "fake care whatyou do,' said the Prince, good-naturdly, and do not go into the chateau with such a face as that.' The Duke re of that time assistance came, and the Prince was mained lying on the ground for tw o hours. At the end placed on a kind of waggon, the only vehicle for which the roads round Kirchberg are practicable ; but such was the bad state of these roads, that the cortege did not arrive at Kirchberg till nine at night. Dur ing all this time the sufferings of the Prince may be conceived ; but not a single cry of pain escaped him. The only thought that occupied him was the dis tress he should occasion to the Royal Family. His first word to Dr. Bougon was, Is it not so, Doctor ? I shall be able to ride again?' fhe Doctor having tranquillized him on this point, his Royal Ilighness showed much sa tisfaction. Dr. Bougon immediately sent off for one of the first surgeons of Vienna, but it was only after a lapse of 36 hours that he could reach Kirchberg, and re duce the fracture. This surgeon has formally declared that the accident will have no serious consequences, and that the Prince will not be lame from it." The Moniteur Parisien, on the other hand, says : " The first assistance given to the Prince was not skil fully directed : the most simple precautions were neg lected, and several hours elapsed before the aid of a pro fessional man could be obtained. The medical attendants of the Prince found the swelling a considerable one, and discovered that the neck of the femur had been fractured: the state of the Prince offered to danger, but it was thought he would remain lame for the rest of his life. and perhaps would never be able to walk without crutches. This information is furnished us by a person who witnessed the accident, was present at the visit of the surgeons, and heard from them their opinion." The Prince Royal of Bavaria has arrived at Ems, which is this year a place of very fashionable resort, The King of Hanover, as we have already mentioned, with a numerous suite, amongst whom is Prince Ber nard de Solms, President of the Hanoverian Council of State, the reigning Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, M. de Bou tenief, the Russian Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte, and Count de Chotek, one of the most distinguished No blemen of Bohemia, are also amongst the visitors. The King and Queen, with the Minister of Marine, and a numerous suite, went on Tuesday to Treport, with the intention of taking a short sail; but the weather was unfavourable, and after remaining a short time on board the Royal yacht their Majesties came ashore. In the evening their Majesties received the Sub-Prefect of Dieppe, the Mayor of Eu, and other authorities. The Minister of Marine has set out for Eu. The Courrier Francais says—" We have received ac counts from Tunis, confirming the reports of the unhealthy state of the crews of the division of M. Leroy. The Montebello and Neptune of the line, and the Andromeda frigate, anchored off Tunis, had as many as 400 sick, owing to the excessive heat. The Phaeton packet had landed 100 of them at Bona, where they are no better than they were on board. If this state of things should continue, the division must be recalled. The squadron of Admiral Hugon is to visit Algiers for a week, and then to return to Toulon, where it is ex pected between the 15th and 20th of this month. The division of Admiral Lasusse is to remain at Smyrna and the roads of Ourlac, in order to be at hand to re ceive despatches from France, Constantinople, and Alexandria." The French hospital at Port Mallon is now so full, as a correspondent of the Commerce writes from Algiers, that the invalids are ordered to be sent to Toulon and Marseilles. The letters from Algiers of the 2d of this month, are more favourable to General Bugeaud. "Everything," says one of our Correspondents, " indicates that it is at length determined to do something for the column. We learn that the 58th Regiment has marched this morning to the plains of Staoueli, where battalions belonging to different corps will be assembled at the same time. We are assured that these troops are to be permanently stationed there. The Phare steamer is gone to land on the shore near Staoucli, a great number of block houses, which it has taken on board at Algiers, and some of which are to be placed on the banks of the Chin.. For some days past a great number of inhabitants of Mahon have arrived at Algiers. The hospital at Mahon being now crowded, most of the sick and wounded of the army in Africa will be conveyed, till further orders, to Marseilles or Toulon. - The steamers fitted up as hos pitals are very useful,' since the return of the expedi tionary army. Other steamers serve to keep up the communication with our naval stations. Thus the Phae ton arrived on the 23d of July at Bona, being sent by Capt. Leroy, who commands the squadron off Tunis. The Phaeton had a great number of sick on board, and reports that the crews of the Montebello and the Neptune of the line, and of the Andromede frigate, had more than 400 sick, owing to the great heat, and the wind blowing from the Desert. When the Cerbere left Oran on the Ist of August, the column of General Lamoriciere had just returnel; it was between 5,000 and 6,000 strong, and had left Mostaganem on the 26th of July. The Gene ral wished to bring the enemy to action, who was said to be in force on the Eonte, but the Arabs would not engage with our troops. The column then proceeded to Oran, where it arrived on the lit of August, afte some trifling actions with the enemy, who as soon as they saw that the column resumed its march incessantly harrassed Nie rear-guard.—Le Commerce.

BRUSSELS, AuG. 12.---The Government has just been informed by the Belgian Consul at Lima, that the ports and landing-places in the south of Peru comprehended between Cabay-as and Squinque, and Costa de Tarapoca to the point of Carapanho included, the closing of which we announced on the 11th of July, have been re-opened by a new order of the President of the Republic. It seems that this result is owing principally to the pro tests against the closing of these ports, made by the several foreign agents accredited to that Government. Yesterday noon the King came to town, and presided in a Council of Ministers. After the Council, his Ma jesty gave an audience to Sir G. Seymour, the English Minister. The Royal Family are to go to Ostend on Saturday. The .illoniteur published a Treaty of Navigation be tween Belgium and Denmark, concluded and signed at Copenhagen, on the 13th of June. 1841. This convention has been ratified by the two So . vereigns. BRUSSELS, AuG. 13.—The six persons condemned to death, whose appeal to the Court of Cassation has just been rejected, sent yesterday, by,one of their Counsel, a petition to the King, for a commutation of their pu nishment. A petition for pardon has also been sent to the King by the two persons condemned in the affair of the forging of notes of the General Society. BO3IE, JULY 30.—0 n Tuesday last Cardinal Lambrus chini, the Secretary of State, returned the visit of Count Von Bruhl. There is every reason to conclude that the good understanding between the two Courts is beginning to be more and more confirmed. The day be fore yesterday the Rev. Dr. Smets, who is universally esteemed here, had the honour of paying his respects to his Holiness. He was very graciously received, and his Holiness was not a little pleased to hear from him, that in his sketch of the " History of Popes," there would be an essay on the question of the Primacy of St. Peter. Dr. Smets will leave Rome to-morrow, and means to return to his own country by way of Florence. HAMBURGII, AUG. 10.—The Tribunal of Commerce has fixed the 25th of August for hearing the statements of the Fiscal respecting the Hamburgh ship Louisa, sus pected of having been concerned in the slave-trade. BERLIN, AuG. s.—Our Government intends, in case the rainy weather should continue, to restrict the expor tation of corn, and the distilling of brandy from potatoes, that there may be no want of those necessary articles.— Hamburgh Papers, Aug. 10. THE HAGUE, AUG. 11.—The baptism of the infant Princess, daughter of Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, took place to-day in the Convent Church with great ceremony, in the presence of their Majesties and of the Royal family, the Foreign Ambassadors, the Ministers, the Chief Officers of State, and a great number of the inhabitants of the Hague. FLUSHING, AuG. 9.—A vessel, towed by one of her Britannic Majesty's steam-boats, arrived here to-day from Amsterdam, with the statue of Admiral de Ruyter, which is to be erected here. The vessel was saluted by the guns on the ramparts, as bringing the statue of the hero whose name is sufficient to immortalise the naval glory of the Netherlands. The statue is thirteen feet high, and weighs 7,000 pounds. It represents the Ad miral standing on the deck, with his back to the rudder, holding a telescope in one hand, and the other resting on his side. The shoulders and back are covered by a cloak, which falls in ample folds over the left shoulder. The model of the statue is by M. L. Royer. The dignified attitude and expression are much admired.

No further account of Mr. M‘Leod's case, ex cept that his trial is to come on in September, and that the Supreme Court changed the venue to another county, to allow him a fair trial. The Loan Bill for twelve millions of dollars has passed Congress. The scrip is absolutely redeemable in three years, and at. any time previously upon the Go vernment giving the holders six months' notice. The shortness of the period is intended to shut out foreign capitalists. queen Christina's protest, and the reply of the Spanish Government, are the principal topics of discus sion in Paris. Most of the journals represent the mani festo as wanting in dignity, and they are right. A false delicacy should no longer prevent Espartero from ex posing the worthlessness of the avaricious and profligate woman who seeks to re-plunge Spain in all the horrors of civil Ivan The King of Bavaria and the Queen of Wurtem burg have given most flattering receptions to Dr. Gran ville on account of his work on German Spas. At a public dinner given him at Kissingen a deputation pre sented him with a gold box containing fifty Fredericks of ten guilders each to purchase a tea service. Here is an encouragement for guide-book compilers. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times, commenting on the singular fact that " the Reform Bill has not produced one single man of distinction or impression in debate, of rough, homely, masculine energy and enthusiasm," accounts for it as follows :—" Great energy and enthusiasm require great grievances to kindle them—grievances such as happily have now very long ceased to exist." What! are there no " grievances " still existing to kindle the energy of a patriot orator ? No deep distress in the manufacturing distric6—no well-grounded discontent in Ireland—no dismal apprehensions of the future among the people generally ? It was but yesterday that the Tory Post was lamenting the serious public embarrass ments which Sir Robert Peel would be called on to re lieve ; and to-day, the Tory Times insists that " griev ances " exist no longer —but that all is sunshine and se renity on the political horizon ! The Post takes a far sounder view of the present state of affairs than the Times. The Herald observes, with reference to the case of 1 1 , I'Leod—" It can only be decided with honour and peace to the country, by the immediate and unconditional re- lease of its subject." The Chronicle says,—" The late election established what was well known before hand to all who attend to such matters, that the landowners have a great prepon derance in the British Legislature. On any question which unites the landowners, such as the corn monopoly, and in which they take a determined part, they are sure to have a great majority. The clergy are, identified with the landowners, and in so far the corn Monopoly question may be called also' a Church question, hut it is absurd to take an election like the last as a test the relative strength oF•Tories And Liberals, or of Church• men and Thiseiite,4l 4. ':lVe think that both landowners and clergy. , have ' : ,cAmmitted a grievous blunder, in fighting for the corn monopoly as they have done. They have by this blunder con vulsed British society to its base." At the time of the Reform Bill, the clergy were warned by Lord Grey not •to throw any selfish obstructions in the way of that great remedial Measure ; they now require to be warned with equal earnestness not to mix them selves up with the momentous question of Monopoly.. As they value their moral influence, and, what is still dearer to them, their temporal interests, let them stand aloof from that struggle, for the chances are a hundred to one against them. But if they must interfere, and make common cause with the Monopolists, then the sooner, to use Lord Grey's-words, " they set their houses in order" the better. The Post, in_default of some more attractive theme, thus chaunts the praises of the Tory faction :—" The Conservatives have the advantage of the great body of their Parliamentary troops being men of high character and standing among the gentry of the kingdom. They have also the advantage of not being hampered by dis honest pledges, which they may not dare to fulfil." The idea of the Tories not being " hampered by dishonest pledges" is infinitely amusing. Why, the great leader of the faction is pledged to provide hand somely for every influential Tory claimant that may pre sent himself at his door. lle is bound to satisfy the cormorant demands of that renegade, Sir James Graham; to gratify the spleen and ambition of. Lord Stanley ; to encourage the exorbitant expectations of Mother Church; to take care that Lord Lyndhurst has a productive place ; and that Goulburn is not " sent empty away," like the rich man in St. Luke. Are these not dishonest pledges for a Tory statesman to be " hampered with ?" As for any other pledges, we grant that Sir R.Peel is perfectly un embarrassed ; for we do most conscientiously believe that he is pledged to do nothing for any party but his own. We find the following significant remarks in the Advertiser :—" Look where Sir Robert Peel may, he can discern nothing but the most ominous signs of an appalling storm about to break on the country's devoted head. Does he look upward ? There he beholds the heavens frowning upon that policy which denies the poor of the land the means of procuring their daily bread ! Does he cast his eyes to Ireland ? There the frightful spectacle stares him in the face, of an entire people on the very verge of rebellion, at the mere prospect of being again subjected to the insults, outrages, and oppressions consequent on an Orange ascendancy. Does he fix his anxious gaze on the manufacturing dis tricts of England ? There he sees trade paralysed, com merce prostrate, and immense masses of the population literally perishing of hunger. Nor are these the only ap palling prospects before Sir R. Peel. There is a fearful amount of lurking political disaffection in Ene and as well as inlreland. Chartism,though partially asleep, is not dead.'' Disheartening as they are, there is much truth in these remarks. An alarming crisis is at hand, and the Minister who is to rule the helm belongs to a party who, of all others that could be named, is the least fitted to grappl e with the perilous difficulties that are gathering in every quarter of the empire. Let the Tories be but six months in office, and pursue no other system of policy than that of their favourite expediency, and the exasperated people will cease to think of riots, but will be looking forward to revolution. The following is from the Durham Chronicle : " The unseasonable summer will give a tone of great earnestness to the debate on the Corn-laws. Passing the month of May, we have had no summer. There is no ripeness in fruit or grain. The breaking of a few more Banks will throw the country into a panic, to which we are circumstantially nearer than we were in the sum mer of 1825." The Coventry Herald justly remarks—" An altera tion of the Corn-laws is inevitable ; and a conviction of this, if not an admission of it, has now become general. With respect to the nature of the alteration, the idea of a sliding scale is scouted more and more every day, as a piece of the rankest quackery ; while on the other hand, there is a proportionably growing preference for the prin ciple of a fixed duty, if there is to be any duty at all." The Dublin Evening Post, commenting on ' a late article in the Times, says—" Ireland is for the connec tion, fairly, and fully, and honestly. There is not a man able to shoulder a musket, or to wield a sword in Ireland, that would not, if the occasion should unfor tunately offer, risk his life to defend the Throne of a Queen whom they love and honour. But do not, we 1);g of you, deal in such topics as these. This is not a time— when a spark, and God knows how soon it may come, would set Europe in a blaze—to be playing tricks, to be making experiments upon the feelings and the interests of the Irish people." MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. -- At a general meeting of the subscribers of the Staf ford and Rugby Railway, held in Manchester on Thurs day, it was moved, seconded, and passed nem. dis., that it was inexpedient to abandon the undertaking, but that the unexpended funds should be distributed among the shareholders, and further prosecution of the undertaking be at present postponed. The London and Birmingham Railway held its six teenth half-yearly general meeting last Friday, at Eus ton-square, when a dividend of 41. ss. for the past half year was declared. At the ninth annual meeting of the Grand Junc tion Railway Company, held at Liverpool on Friday the Cth inst., the Directors' Report stated that the total re ceipts for carriage for the half year ending June 30, was 208,5091. 4s. ; while 'the expenditure wa 93,9201. Is. Id. A dividend of 5/. 10s. per cent. upon all the shares has been declared. On Friday the Dundee steam-ship arrived at Hore's wharf, bringing 92 fat oxen, 100 sheep and lambs, and 214 boxes of salmon. The importation also of cattle, meat, salmon, and herrings from other parts of Scotland this week has been large. The Edinburgh steamers, and those from the north, have imported during the past week 700 bullocks, about 2,000 boxes of salmon, 400 sheep and lambs, with 100 tons of dead meat, herrings, and other provisions. LAW AND POLICE. At the Gloucester Assizes on Thursday, John nelr, Oliver Sogtham, and Joluz Smith, were indicted for the wilful murder of John Overbury, on the 30th of June. It appeared that the deceased, on being called upon in the Queen's name, to assist a constable in ar resting a man of the name of Norris, suspected of steal ing potatoes, complied with the request, when _he was attacked by Norris and others, and received such severe injuries, that he died in the course of the night. The Jury found Phelps guilty of an assault, and acquitted the other two. Sentence was not passed, as, at the in stance of counsel, the Judge reserved a point of law. At Lambeth-street police-office, on Friday, Mr. Kelly, the landlord of the Ship and Black Horse, High street, Shadwell, was brought before Mr. Norton, charged with improperly interrupting the proceedings of the Tower Hamlets' Court of Requests. It appeared that a decision had been given against Mr. Kelly respect ing the claims of some musicians for the payment of 145., the amount of two days' wages, for attending with the friends of Mr. Hutchinson, on the day of nomina tion ; and that Mr. Kelly, thinking he was unjustly treated, addressed Mr. Brushfield, one of the Commis sioners, in these words lam as goof a =AI as you, and will meet you some other day." He immediately left the Court, but was taken into custody outside by order of Mr. Brushfield, and carried before the Magis trate, who declined to interfere, and was supported in his decision by .one of the Commissioners, numbers or whom had flocked to the Court to perform a part in the strange scene. The noisy proceedings finally terminated by Mr. Kelly making something like an apology. The bankruptcy of Messrs. Whitmore, Wells, and Co., the bankers of Lombard-street, said to be occasioned by large advances to the house of Daintry, Ryle, and Co., of Manchester, is now before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque. In another column of The Sun, will be seen the amount of debts proved and admitted, amount ing to at least 250,0001. The adjourned hearing is fixed for the 15th September. ELECTIONEEUrNG. On Friday last, the Merles of free trade at *War rington gave a splendid dinner in the Reformer's Hall, in honour of James Kershaw, Esq., a candidate at the late election for the representation of that borough on free trade principles. Upwards of 300 gentlemen were present. SPORTING. At the Wolverhampton races for the Stakes one jockey was knocked off his horse, and narrowly escaped being run over ; and in the race for the Cleveland Cup one of the horses broke his leg between the distance and winning post. The great cricket match of Kent, v. All England, i s going on, and attracts each day upwards of 6,000 specta tors. England at present is 52 a-head. COURT-FASHIONAnLES. Hcr Majesty the Queen Dowager is expected to make a tour of visits to the Midland Counties, in the course of the autumn. Mr. Robert Steuart left town on Friday for Scot land, to take leave of his former constituents, previous to his departure for South America. The Hon. Gentleman will embark at Glasgow. The Duke of Wellington has ordered cards to be issued for a grand dinner on the 23d inst. The Marquis and Marchioness of Lansdowne are expected at Dover this day. Lc and Lady J. Russell have arrived at tha. , houie in Wilton-crescent. MXSCMLZANEOUS. The growth of grass is gvat in several parts of the centre of the road from;gawtry to Doncaster ; on the road between Stamford a4di-grraitham i the road for seve ral miles forms a noble.gieen.larte About three weeks age Ensign John Bendyshe, of the 35th Depot, stationed at Portsmouth, left his quar ters with the intention of paying a visit to a friend near Tichfield, .and has not since been heard of. Fears are entertained that he has been robbed and murdered. A reward of 2001. and a free pardon, have been offered, ex cept to the actual murderer. On Wednesday afternoon a " young man of fash ionable exterior" did the landlord of the Bull Inn, Chelmsford, out of a " handsome dinner, wine and des sert." The same absent-minded gentleman also walked off, in the hurry of business, with an " excellent black mare," valued at twenty pounds: Of course he has been invisible ever since. The moral we deduce from these facts is, that " a fashionable exterior " is a most success ful eletrient in swindling. We learn from the Nottingham Mercury, that on Sunday last a large congregation assembled in the parish church of a rich rectory, in order to hear divine service read. " After the bells had rung a considerable time," says our Contemporary, " no clergyman made his ap rearance." Inquiry was made as to the cause of his ab sence, when it was found that the minister of God had goon out on a shooting excursion! What will Sir An drew Agnew say to thin? The Tories are gi iring and taking public dinners in all quarters. They have been dining at Ashford, in East Kent—at Honiton—at Shaftesbury—and at Stirling— evidently imagining tha t their present position is one that justifies their wildest exultation. At the East Kent din ner, Sir E. Bering, the Chairman, congratulated the company on the " unity of purpose" that would be sure to distinguish the—proximate Tory Ministers. In one respect the Tories will certainly be united—that is to say, in an unflinching determination to take all they can get for themselves, and to do no more than they can help for the people. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. The Paris news of Friday has been received in London by Express. The Marquis de Pastoret, in a letter to the Journal des Debats, denies that the state of the Duke de Bor deaux was so serious as reported by that paper ; but the Debats repeats its previous statement. No French news of importance has reached us. The crime of incendiarisrn appears to make fearful progress in the South. The Debats, speaking, it was believed, the sense of the Government, regards the proposed union of Customs between France and Belgium as calculated to give maritime supremacy to France, and the command of the three seas which wash the Continent of Europe and the new world. _ The French Funds were languid at the beginning of business on the Bourse on Friday, but they soon reco vered. The weather had again become fine. PARIS, AUG. 13.—Three per Cents., 77f. 50c. ; Spanish 20 to 1. SPAIN Accounts received from Madrid of the 7th inst. state, that on the sth inst. General Palafox, Duke of Saragossa, resigned the command of the Royal Guard, and was re placed by Don Pedro Chacon. The Madrid papers of the 7th instant contain no other news. The most perfect tranquillity continued to reign in Madrid. A despatch from the Island of Cuba stated, that the election of General Espartero to the Regency had been received with satisfaction by the inhabitants, and with enthusiasm by the army. The postscript of our Madrid letter of the 7th adds, that the two sons of General Bilboa had been arrested. The General himself had escaped. All the persons com posing the Queen's household hadeither resigned or been dismissed. The Duchesses d'Alba and Medina Celi, and the Marchioness Gracia, Reald, and Malpica, were amongst the latter.

It was well known that special pleaders had in their offices a lot of little boxes like pigeon -holes, wherein were contained pleas to serve as defences to all sorts of actions. He (the Learned Sergeant) perfectly well recol lected a scene that occurred upon the Home Circuit, ii when the celebrated Mr. Topping, being engaged t plaintiff, was perfectly indignant to find that a P I f t bad that tic put upon the record alleging his client wasaegluhat na• tic ; but Sir W.

He had been out in the early part of the day. lie was one of the good old school of " traps" that were turned adrift on the coming into operation of the Metropolitan Court Bill to make room for the new police, and the sudden change from active life, it is considered, hastened his death.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE..--A very full house was collected on Saturday night, as it was advertised that it was the last time Mdlle. Cerito would perforni this season. The opera was Lucrezia Borgia, in which Grisi, Mario, and Tamburini, sang very finely—the two last as finely as ever ; but in Grisi there was no falling off in energy, though a slight failure of voice. The trio i? Act 2, where Mario has to dwell upon the words A mia madre, while Grisi and Tamburini are supposed to be conversing apart, was instantly encored. After the second act of the opera a sort of divertissement , in the shape of C er it o ' s delicious Gitana dance, was presented. This is accordinc , to the old custom, for twenty years ago dancing was always introduced to relieve the weight of the opera, and we think extremely judiciously. It was certainly most grateful last night, and the repetition of it was called for, but Cerito contented herself (not the audience) by merely coming forward to pick up a wreath that had been flung upon the stage, and curtsey ing very gracefully. After the opera had concluded, the ballet of Le Lac des Fees was repeated, and those who have seen it more than once will hardly say that it can be repeated too often. It went off with the utmost ap plause. The boxes were most fashionably filled by the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Cambridge, Princess Augusta of Cambridge,. &c.
