From the political course lately pursued by the Spectator, we feel no surprise, but much re gret at finding that Journal, on Saturday, de precating the proposed conference of Dissenting ministers on the Corn-law. We do not question our Contemporary's motives, but we demur to his principles and his conclusions. Having on a former occasion praised the intention of the mi- nisters, we shall now endeavour to justify our praise and their conduct. First, as to the general principle laid down by the Spectator, " that the expediency of the clergy taking an active and prominent part in secular politics, is more than questionable," we must remark that this, if correct as an abstract proposition, does not apply to our society. W e live under a Protestant Government. The Q uilE , has a coronation oath imposed on her by the priesthood to_maintain the Protestant Church at all hazards; our domestic policy and laws are of o h m e a sectarian character, an d intended to subserve the purposes of the pries thood more tha - - interests of the community. Several pr . -*.tests ,. . h t seats in Parliament ; they are sca4.:tered i n every parish of the empire, and 11 :Lorionsly use their pulpits and their influenie to disseminate politi cal principles. The - people are denied education, nnddenied many civil rights, at the instigation and forthe int‘,r es t o f t h e pr i esthoo d . O ur c l ergy -are aut:norised by the law to take •an active and prOtninent part in secular politics; they are in corporated with the State, which is too often guided by their influence and authority. It is rather one-sided, therefore, and somewhat late, in our Contemporary to broach the principle, when Dissenting ministers begin to moot the Corn-law question, " that it is questionable whether the clergy should take an active and prominent part in secular politics." In Ireland every political question is coupled 'with or even based on religious considerations. The land and the law there are Protestant, the people are Catholics. There are comparatively few Catholic gentlemen, and the people have no other leaders than the priests. To extend the Spectator's doctrine to Ireland, is to hand over the disorganized atoms of the suffering Irish population to th e unopposed tyranny of the disfranchising and X terminating- Pro testant landlords. The Catholic priests are driven, by the necessities of their condition, to take an active part in secular politics, and by their exertions they have combined, and they only could combine, the Catholic peasantry into an organised body, capable of keeping in check the otherwise unmitigated tyranny of the Pro. testant landlords. Let no Liberal now seek to put an end to their exertions and encourage Tory insolence, by declaring against clergymen interfering with politics. In England, too, what means wo u ld th e Dis titlk.iteei_a Chu , did harveehforresisting the aggressions of the thei kad6. not their ministers, who'are l Ge an active p art i n secular nera 8 1 iv speakingtakepoities? the nobility and gentry are members of the Church of England, aid it is only lately, and now rarely, that a Dis senter finds his way into either House of Pq.rlia- , ment. Accordingly, ever since we recollect any thing about politics, the Ministers of the Three Denominations have been conspicuous for their ac tive interposition in politics. Whenever the great principles of civil and religious liberty were brought into question, those men were sure to appear by petition before the Houses of Parlia ment. Wherever there is a State Church and toleration the ministers of religion must, what ever sect they may belong to, be politicians, and mingle in the battles of parties for the protection of their own rights and interests. That may be a good argument against a State Church, but while the State interferes with religion the pas tors of Dissent must be politicians. Our practice is quite in conformity with this theory. The Dissen ting ministers took an active part in procuring a repeal of the Test Act, and the clergy of all denominations have interested themselves, pro or con., on the question of Ca tholic emancipation. For the abolition of slavery the Methodist ministers, and the ministers of other Dissenting bodies, much to their honour, were most zealous and active. It is plain, from the mode in which petitions against the abolition of the Corn-laws are sent to Parliament from all the remote parishes of the empire, that the clergy of the Established Church have been bu sily at work to support the Corn-laws. At not a few public meetings they have avowed their de termination to maintain them as long as possible. With all these facts the Spectator is well ac quainted, and but for that peculiarity in its course which has latterly distinguished it from all the journals of the empire, we should have been astonished to find it seizing the occasion of some Dissenting ministers taking part against the Corn-laws to deprecate the interference of the ministers of religion with secular politics. Be fore it preached such a sermon to them it should have severed the State from the Church, and have raised the State clergy, from being parts of a po litical system, to the condition of the chosen and voluntarily paid guides, teachers, and friends of the people. Whatever may be proper in the ab stract for that class Of men who are set apart to remind us of our duties, it is perfectly clear that wherever the laws are made in subserviency to some sectarian principles that the ministers of religion must, as a rule, occasionally take a pro minent part in politics. Now there is nothing in the Corn-laws, to come to the particular case, which should make it unad visable for the Dissenting ministers to take an ac tive part against them. They do not concern the Whigs or the Tories--they have no particular relation to the ladies of the Court, or the com mand of the army—they do not apply to distant Canada or to more distant New South Wales, all of which are secular politics that Dissenting ministers may with propriety neglect; but these laws concern the food of the people of their own flocks and congregations. They are not abstruse matters of expediency either, like establishing one bank of issue or coining an ounce of gold into something less than four sovereigns, on which questions we should certainly place little reliance on the judgment of Dissenting mi nisters, but plain matters ofright and wrong. The Corn-laws have been complicated and mystified by a vast variety of statements about foreign prices and tariffs of other countries, which gen tlemen, much more ingenious than wise, have connected with them ; but for men of common sense, such as Dissenting ministers, they are a moral question, like highway robbery or pick ing pockets. At the one end is the Legislature composed of landlords, levying a tax on the people's bread to enrich themselves, and placing impediments in the way of commerce; and, at the other, exemplifying the consequences of this most immoral and unjust law, is a multitude of people wanting food, and annually starved out of existence. Gravely to tell the ministers of reli gion that they are not to take an active part to procure the abolition of such iniquitous laws, is to tell them to forget their functions and look on crimes with indifference. It is to tell them more, for laws are the expression of the public will, and he who does not remonstrate against a criminal enactment lends it his sanc tion. The Dissenting ministers have taken a noble and a wise resolution. They are sensible that to make the law an instrument of plunder ing the people is to bring the law into contempt, and endanger all the interests which depend on it. They mean, therefore, we are happy to learn, to exert themselves, and use all the in fluence of their situation and calling to put an end to the Corn-laws. They have a strong interest, too, in performing this duty. If there were no Corn-laws, tithes would be paid out of the rent, as they ought to be, of the land. The Corn-laws levy the tithes on the consumers and throw on them, relieving the landowners, the burden of supporting the Church, of which the aristocracy dispose of all the revenue and have all the advantages. To make the Dissenters, not being landlords, pay in this roundabout way for the maintenance of th Church, is a gross violation of their religious liberty. As honest and consistent men, the Dis senters are bound to resist this double trickery on the part of the Church of England landlords, and their ministers will be wanting to themselves if they do not energetically fel low out the scheme suggested by Mr. THOMP SON, or take some other means to bring the whole force of the Dissenting body to bear against the Corn-laws. Our Contemporary is unnecessarily alart: ied l est " the introduction of the religious ele:inent into a 4 its settlement. secular controversy" s h ou ld d ela - Let him still his f ears. It 7'.:11 not be introd uce d Established Ch ure l• by the Dissenti ng Min; _ilters. The clergy of the have already introduced it. too, t' Already, have used all their power and influence f .,0 uphold the Corn-laws. They have drive , their last dependent to the poll, and can de forced to no greater exertions by the appear.. ance of the Dissenting ministers in the arena. They have left nothing, in their power to do, undone to resist the progress of Corn-law re peal. Supineness on the part of Dissenting mi nisters, if that should be encouraged or caused by the homily. of the Spectat or , wou ld only add to their arrogance, and ensure the continuance of as great an iniquity as ever di sgraced - the commercial legis lation of a Christian people. It was considered a great enormity in Spain to forbid, in the seven teenth century, the cultivation of the olive and the vine in her colonies, but that is a far less enormity than for the Legislature of commercial England to impede aneprohibit, in the nine teenth century, the importation of food, which her starving people could easily and readily pur chase. An impartial posterity will decide that the landlords of England were more deservini , of execration in the, nineteenth than the Council of the Indies in the seventeenth century; and from that reproach the Dissenting ministers will be as anxious to rescue their country as they were to rescue i t from the stigma of encouraging slavery. Toe return of a Liberal Member for the county of Banff, which we received on Saturday, Com pletes the Scotch elections, and honourabl e i s the result to the people of Scotland. Twenty-one burghs out of twenty-three have returned staunch Liberal Members, and these two were lost by mismanagement or foul play. We confess we had faint hopes of the return of Mr. STEUART for Haddington, and Mr. GILLoN lost his scat by something worse than mismanagement, which will be cleared up in due time. But the return for the counties is still more creditable. Not withstanding the violent denunciations made by the Tories against . the Government for daring to interfere with the Corn-laws, to the ruin, as they hypocritically say, of landlords and tenants, three counties have been rescued from the mo nopolists, and five counties represented by Libe rals in last Parliament have returned Tories, making the loss in the counties only two. Could 1 r there be a better proof that the intelligent Scotch farmers regard the boasted advantage of the Corn-laws as sheer humbug ? They know, as the Marquis of TWEEDDALE emphatically de clared at a meeting of the English Agricultural Association, that they must trust for remunera tion to their skill and industry, and not to the miserable delusion of averages, and sliding scales, and protecting duties. It is a remakable fact, in confirmation of this statement, that the ten counties that have returned Liberal Members are nearly all agricul tural. Taking them alphabetically, they stand thus Banff, Caithness, Fife, Forfar, Kinross, Kirkcudbright, Renfrew, Shetland and Orkney, Sutherland, Wigtown. With the ex ception of Renfrew, the staple productions are all derived from the soil ; and five of them— namely, Banff, Fife, Forfar, Kirkcudbright, and Wigtown, can boast of thu best farmers in the world. Had these men looked at the Corn-laws, we will not say as the hope of their safety, but as any protection whatsoever, would they have been mad enough to vote against their own inte rests? They know from experience that, on the contrary, the restrictions on the corn trade de range periodically the whole system of com merce, ruin the manufacturers, their best cus tomers, and raise up in the foreign markets rivals alike dangerous to farmer and ma nufacturer. The three counties which the Liberals have gained, form noble proofs of the intelligence of the agricultural class in Scotland, and the five which' they have lost do not at all detract from their merit. Argyll goes with the Duke, and as the present retainer of the title has thought fit to abjure the political principles so long held by this ancient and gallant family, all the Campbells, of course, follow in his train. The loss of Stirling and Dumbarton we cannot account for ; Edin burgh was lost by the disgraceful system adopted by the Tories of creating paper votes; and had Roxburgh been fairly contested, a Liberal would have been returned. Though de serted by their late representative, opposed by the Liberal Duke of ROX BURG n, and intimidated by the agents of the SCOTTS of Buccleuch arid Harden, the electors fought manfully with out a leader, and sustained a defeat more glo rious than a victory. A curse has befallen the house of ELLIOT, so honoured by the gallant HEATH FIELD. Two of the name have made it a bye-word in the East fur poltroonery, and a third, Roxburghshire, has, by his conduct, pronounced the decision just. Scotland, however, has nobly done her duty, and her example will not be without its fruits. Though the Liberal party had to contend against th e Church, the Tories, and all those interested in the three great monopolies, Corn, Sugar, and Timber, they have defeated the monopolists united, by returning thirty-one Members, while the old and young Tories have returned only twenty-two. There is no political news of interest in the French Journals of Thursday, and the papers of Friday, received by Extraordinary Express, are for the most part occu pied with the riots at Toulouse, of which the latest intel ligence will be found in another column. A telegraphic despatch, from London, officially announces the re-entry of France into the great European Alliance, but the cir cumstance, though condemned by the opposition jour nals, was expected, and therefore excites no popular at tention. The Moniteur states that the amount of indirect taxes for the first half of the current year is 341,989,000 francs, being an increase on the previous half year of 8,272,000 francs, and on the year as compared with 1839 of 28,241,000 francs. The Levant mail is expected to reach Paris this day. The dates are—from Constantinople and Alexandria e the 27th, and from Smyrna of the 29th ult. It is too soon yet to expect any overland news fro m Chi na o f , nature to gratify public curiosity.

In consequence of the alarming accounts from Toulouse, Ville franche, Saint-Gaudens, and other towns in the Haute-Ga ronne, it has been resolved, it is said, to send an extraordinary Government Commissioner into that district." According to the Dutch Journals, the last accounts from Batavia state that, after the disturbances had broken out in February in the upper part of the territory of Padang, as was previously mentioned, the insurgents made simultaneousattacks upon three forts, one only of which was taken by them. On -the ?6th February Colonel Miehiels, commandant of the wes tern !rift of Sumatra, marched with a considerable force to the relief of the two forts which held out, and, after several combats with the insurgents, succeeded by the 4th March in subduing them, taking possession of their head -quarters, and making their leader pri,oner. All has remained quiet since. This news has produced a favourable effect at Amsterdam, causing the funds and other quotations on the Money Market to rise.

He fired, and brought down a she wolf which had just littered. On going up to her, with the inten tion of completing his work, if she was not dead, she flew upon him, although severely wounded, with fury. The young man kept her off with his gun, which she seized between her teeth, and a terrible struggle ensued, in the course of which the gun broke in two. He then took the stock, and with a blow on the head put an end to the existence of t I ,:e enraged animal." The Journal du Havre that the Ville de Bordeaux, the ship which the E ng li s t papers have recently mentioned as having carried off s o 'dm British Custom-house officers from Heldt st Bay, rs . ttstralia, is probably n o o th er th an a F rench .e whaler, conur..anded by Captain Largeteau, whose long absence and operations have already given rise to several sinister ru mours, and the condemnation and sale of which, at Sydney, was noticed in January last. " The m e t eor i c scone which fell, a few days ago, a t Cha teau-Renard," says the Moniteur Parisien, " has the appear ance of g r a n it e of a light grey colour.

The surface of the stone is covered with a crust caused by the heat arising from the great rate of its passage to the earth, and its contact with our atmosphere." —We find the following in the Cologne Gazette, from the frontiers of Turkey, Ist inst. :—" Accounts from Jassy state that a conspiracy has been discovered in Moldavia against Prince Sturdza, the President of Justice, the head of the po lice and the Metropolitan. At the head of it were some fa milies of Bojards, the Bischkamy, and the Kusas. Several of the accomplices having been arrested, a tumult ensued, which, however, was promptly suppressed, and without violence. The conspirators reproach -the great dignitaries with the com mission of various illegal acts. We learn from Nissa in Bul garia that the merchants who were arrested there had been set at liberty a little before the arrival of Yacub Pacha, but the greater number of persons brought in by the Albanians worn still in chains. Yacub Pacha, however, will soon release them." The Dukes of Orleans and Ncmours had a grend stag hunt on Tuesday in the forest of Fontainebleau. The game was roused near the Carrefour du Grand Veneur, and after a run of an hour and a half, at a very severe pace, crossed the Seine Opposite Fontaine Port. The Princes with the piqueurs crossed the ferry with their horses and a division of the hounds, and resumed the chase on the other side of the river, th,c Count de Cambis remaining with the rest of the pack in caie'the stag should be headed back over the water. This, however, did not occur, for the noble beast kept gallantly on his way till seven in the evening, when he at last took soil in a pond at Villefermoy, beyond Melun, where he was taken. Only two sportsmen besides the Princes were in at the death. After taking some refreshment, the Princes made their way back to Fontainebleau, having rode over little, if anything, lets than 30 leagues of ground. They did not reach the palace till eleven. We are informed that M. Romiguires, formerly At torney-General at Toulouse, has been summoned to the Council, which doubtless wanted his advice. It is certain that to-day (the 14th) M. Romiguires, who was sitting in the Court of Cessation, received a letter so pressing, that h 3 quitted the Court while a cause was pleading, and that M. Portalis, after having suspended the proceedings for a s h or t time, he resumed them, saying that M. Romiguires had b een called away by business of the Government.— Le Temps. NEUILLY, JULY 14.—This King has received to-day from his Majesty the King of Hanover, a letter concerning the death de livered to his 'Majesty by Baron de Stockhausen, Minister of her Majesty the Queen, his consort. This letter was Re sident of the King of Hanover. The King will go into mourn. ing on this occasion for twenty-one days. The King has received a letter nom his Royal High ness the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, announcing the mar riage of the Princess Caroline Charlotte, his daughter, to the Prince Royal of Denmark The superior of a nunnery at Valence, being at Paris on hu=iness, was, some days ago, passing along the Rue de Clery, when she saw a woman drop down in convulsions. With the aid of other persons, she so far recovered the sufferer that she was able to speak, and, in a low voice, confessed to the nun that she had poisoned herself. While the Commissary of Police was coming, the sister endeavoured to give religious consolation to the dying woman, and presented to her lips a relic, which, however, was rept lled with marks of terror , and yet, when the woman afterwards came to be undressed, several conse crated wafers were found wrapped in a paper, and placed near her he ar t.

SUMYARY OF c;EIAIS AND littbitt Optnifin. " Who runs may read." ABROAD. FOREIGN—COLONIAL. The French Government has appointed M. Mau rice Duval, who, it will be remembered, arrested the Duchess of Berry at Nantes, Provisional Prefect of Tou louse. M. Duval is a man noted for his severity, and, if we be not much mistaken, more likely to stir up an oneute than to suppress one. The Toulouse rioters destroyed the telegraphs on the 13th instant. The destruction of public property is one of the most foolish acts that an enraged populace can commit, as the charges of the repairs must come out of their own pockets. There is much shrewdness in ths Hibernian remark, that " a man's self is the last person upon whom to think of committing suicide !" In the riots at Toulouse one young man was killed, and sixty persons wounded. Upwards of an hundred individuals were arrested, but the mob compelled the authorities to release them. The Government is en gaged in a most inglorious contest, from which, defeated or victorious, it cannot retire without disgrace. Blood may flow, and M. Humane remain master of the field, but will he dare to collect taxes, the imposition of which is thus resisted to the death ? Gavin Scott is still imprisoned at Marseilles. The French Minister of the Interior is desirous of delivering him up to the British authorities. The large sum of 1,800/. has not been recovered. It was stolen from him at the hotel, so that even the pilferer has been pilfered. Colonel Hodges, Consul-General at Syria, has just arrived in London from Constantinople.

It is certail4 enough to make men shrug their shoulders to ,see his partisans in the Cortes vote him 21,0001. a year as Regent, at a time when the navy of Spain is so reduced, that shipping can not be found to carry 10,000 men at one trip to the Ba learic Isles—when Spain has not even 4 packet ship to carry the llavannah correspondety:e I D ur i ng Penin sular war the an nua l cost o f 2,000/., and yet th e new 4 .n " the e Regency did not excee d greater then tha- lcssary . they expenses of the offic e were are at present. Then there is a marriage se: Ldement of 32,500/. a year to be provided for the Regent Christina ; and all this at a time when .pain is unable to pay the half-yearly recurring interest upon her public debt. When patriotism allies itself to such immense revenues as now accrue to Espartero, in one of the poorest nations in the world, it becomes an object of suspicion. The Spanish Minister of Finance proposed on the Bth instant, in the Chamber of Deputies, to lower duties payable at the gates of large towns upon wines, spirits, and oils.. This is a wise and pcpular measure. The ecclesiastical schism gains ground in Spain. Thirty Canons of the Chapter of the See of Saragossa hare been imprisoned for adhering to the allocution of the Pope. Unless the Vatican display snore sagacity in Spain than it has hitherto done, Espartero may signalise his Regency by entirely separating the Church of Spain from the Holy See. A traveller in the French Versailles Railway, alarmed at a little derangement in the train, fancied that destruction was at hand, and tried, though hindered, to leap out of the engine. He 1)41-severed, and the iron steps coming in contact with his neck, severed the head from the body. In the space of 139 years, that is from 1700 to 1839, the population of France, notwithstanding the revolu tionary wars, has increased 13,830,680, nearly an annual average of 100,000. AT HOME. miscEzzatmous. A little child, on Thursday, was playing on the parapet of London-bridge, when unbalancing himself he fell over. A cry being raised he was discovered clinging to the coping, and had it not been that a man rescued him immediately from this perilous position, he must have inevitably been destroyed. The contest for Church-rates at Hackney closed on Friday. Church-rate supporters disposed to vote, and who were accidentally short of cash, found no difficulty in borrowing it. The votes for the rate, 208 ; against it, 206. But as the check-book of the parties disagreed, a scrutiny g ill take place. James Adams, who, for the last thirteen years, has been appointed to the charge of the royal standard on the Round Tower of Windsor Castle, died on Friday, at rather an advanced age. Adams received his appoint ment from William IV., as a reward for his general good character and military bravery at Copenhagen, Corunna, in the West Indies, and at the Havannah. The three Committees that grew up like mushrooms in a night, to da honour to the name of Sir David Wil kie, have, with great propriety, united themselves into one, and Sir Martin Archer Shee, Sir William Newton, and Mr. Allan Cunningham, content for a time with starting the subscription, and finding an active treasurer in Sir Peter Laurie, are waiting till Parliament assem bles, when Sir Robert Peel has kindly consented to pre side at a public meeting. A statue like that of Flaxman, after Sir Joshua Reynolds, in St. Paul's, and for the same building, is talked of. Col. Howard Vyse has been elected at Paris Cor responding Member of the Academy of Fine Arts, in the room of the late Sir David Wilkie. MONET, TRADE, AND COMMERCE.

Bd. ELECTIONEERING. Since Monday week Nottingham and its neighbour hood have witnessed a series of splendid festivals to cele brate the triumph of independent principls in the per sons of Sir J. llobhouse and Mr. Larpent. Dances and tea parties have abounded. At the Rutlandshire official statement of the poll the Under-SheritY took it into his head to announce the Tory name first, because the party was the son of tt Peer, though Mr. Heathcotc was above him on the poll. This raised a great outcry. Mr. Heatitimte warmly protested against this proceeding, and insisted on the inversion of the names. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Chronicle exclaims against both the craft and impudence of Tory policy in appointing the thirteen new bishoprics proposed. It leoks on the pro. position as a cunningly-constructed scheme for creating and securing to itself a huge mass of ecelesiastice patronage, and upon the obtaining of this ) to teh4r that patronage independent of the Crown and people. " Toryism," in the writer's own words, " speculates upon purchasing the spoils of office, ly transferring a portioq of the prerogative of the Sovereign held for the people to an ecclesiastical corporation ; and thus to form a power too strong for both Sovereign and people." This The Advertiser urges on the &forme:, of is, in fact, an attempt at creating a new monopoly, and to secure to Toryism not temporary, but permanent r^* Jwer. the infinite necessity of reirister; - the country ag- : - .4ore Tuesday. The last election, it asserts, was c' • ' 4 4 for principles. Th e next el,' ,truggle for power, not another order. Thi s —ction must necessarily be of pected, and it h-7. .stay draw nigh sooner than is ex a qualiti- :4U-oyes every 111.111 to beware that, having --talon fer:the franchise, he .be then in a position exmif.p The Times is grievously annoyed at the result of the Scotch eleetions; and pDlitely describes:the inferior portion of the middle c* ses as sunk by pride and con ceit almost to a par with the swaggering braggadocios of the United States: It is a lamentable reflection for the brib ing Tories that they can make no impression on Scotland. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Greenock, Paisley, Aberdeen, in dependent of Kilmarnock, represented by St. Colquhoun, all places of great importance, have returned staunch Liberals; and, notwithstanding the outcry raised against the enemies of the Corn-laws, three counties, Caithness, Renfrew, ani Wigtoun, have wrested three votes from the Tories. Honour to Scotland The Post thinks to be very taunting by endea vouring to show that the Whig Radicals are but false prophets, and that :hough they have framed a political chart, with abundance of rocks and shoals, on which the Conservatives are to shipwreck, clear steerage will be made in spite of such prophecy. The Herald would be jocular at the idea that the Whigs have been defeated by the very reformed system of election which they themselves established. It asks whether this be a proof of the popular affection for their party ; for if so, it marvellously " resembles that of the poet who was kicked down stairs' by his mistress, and no mistake.' " But the dons of the Herald should be assured that it it a mistake, and one which next election will thoroughly rectify. The Norfolk Chronicle is quite heroic in des:Tibing the triumph of its party. "Conservatism," it says, " with its noble principles, will place Sir Robert Peel in a position of prouder elevation, and even more solid strength than perhaps was ever yet held by any British statesmanthe illustrious William Pitc scarcely ex cepted." R speaks of it "as drawn out in its gigantic array," "It is said " (Leicestershire Mercury) " that during the dreadful hardships of the disastrous Peninsular war—such was the severity of some officers that the smothered cry went round—' Thank God ! G— is down.' So are we thankful that Walter is down— whether he fell by shots received in front from his enemies, or in the rear, by friends, we care not a rush. lie's down, that's enough for us, and so is Fitzroy Kelly, and his partner in sin and shame—and Dawson and Herries, and Murray—all down." The Dublin _Evening Mail says, " that it is not altogether unprepared for the cry of distress in the Money market, nevertheless it fancies that the Tory journals have begun to croak too early." • " The ejection," says the Hull Advertiser; " of Lord Howick from Northtunberland has been,, we have rea son to know, a rather sharp piece of practice. It is quite certain that, from the pacific declarations of the leading Conservative landlords, he was induced to ab stain even from preparation." The Coventry Herald jeers at the excessive joy which the Tories show, " Suppose," it says, " that the Tories have stepped into place, is there a single soul of the hundreds who are now so fantastically merry, who can even conjecture what Sir Robert Peel will do ? No, the capering simpletons are all thoroughly dumb." SPOILTING. Oxford and Cambridge terminated their cricket match at Lord's Cricket-ground, after a keen contest. They set St. Swithin at defiance, and played admirably. The Cantabs gained the day by a majority of eight runs. THEATRICAL. Mademoiselle Rachel made her last appearance this season. on Friday, and chose for the termination of her splendid performances the character of Camille, in Les Horaces. Her success was complete, and the audi ence testified their approbation of her merit by calling for her re-appearance at the conclusion of the piece. According to a letter published by the direction of the Marseilles Theatre, Mademoiselle Rachel, by her pro longed stay in this country, has subjected herself to a penalty of 15,000 francs (6001.) as forfeit money. FINE ARTS. A medal has just been struck by Mr. Stothard com memorative of Lord John Russell's return for the City. The obverse bears his Lordship's head ; the reverse, a ,wreath of wheat-ears ; inscription—" Free Trade." Legend: "e'er mare per terram.', COURT-rAsHIONABLES. A splendid entertainment has been given by his Excellency Baron Brunow, on the occasion of the Em press of Russia's birthday, at Ashburnham House. In consequence of the Queen of the Belgians pro longing her visit to the Queen and Prince Albert at W indsor, they have deferred their visit to Woburn Abbey. On leaving the Duke and Duchess of Bedford, her Majesty and the Prince go to Pansanger—the Earl and Countess of Cowper's ; and from thence to Wrest Park, the Earl and Countess de Grey's seat in Bed fordshire. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort left Beaufort House on Thursday last for Walmer Castle, on a visit to the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Duke and Duchess were to embark on Saturday at Dover, for Ostend, en route . to the German Spas. RUMOURS O THE DAY. Chief Justice Bushe, Judge Burton, Judge John son, Judge Torrens, and Baron Pennefather have their resignations ready to tender to the Irish Government four-and-twenty hours after Sir B. Peel's accession to office. Chief Justice Bushe, it is said, demands a Peerage, although his estate is only 8001. a year. Lord Morpeth will arrive at Dublin Castle next week to resume his duties as Chief Secretary. Though urged by the constituencies of four Irish counties, he has refused to be nominated as a Member. It is in contemplation to celebrate the return of ten Conservative Members for Essex by a grand festival. Shropshire, with its twelve apostles, has led the way in this grand work of feasting, which we hope will be uni versally imitated. It will afford employment to many. give an additional impulse to eating and drinking, and travelling and the price of cord and canvass will Hs( fifty per cent., as these fetes are to be commemorated under tents. Mr. Edgington will make a fortune. Lieutenant Hookenberg, a celebrated inventor at Stockholm, has astonished its good people by taking a quiet walk, " elegantly dressed, with his cigar in his mouth," upon Lake Meler, just where its waters fall into the port of Stockholm. He had a stick in his hand, which he used as a sort of oar, and on his feet small skiffs, something like the species of skates which the Swedes call skidor, six or seven Swedish ells in length and about four inches broad. Sir Robert Inglis and Lord Roden, each with a tail longer than the famous tail of O'Connell, will not sup port Peel for more than one Session, except on the fol lowing conditions :—The restoration of the ten obsolete Irish Bishoprics, the virtual repeal of the Emancipation Act, Church Extension, together with an Act to deprive the Crown of the right of appointing Bishops, the banish ment of every Whig and Catholic from the Palace, and O'Connell from Dublin Castle. If they succeed in these noble attempts, all perjured Catholics (their own phrase) will be expelled from the House of Commons, and the Six Acts will crown the cliMax. We wish the Tory press joy of their coadjutors. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Moniteur of Friday (yesterday) publishes a Royal ordinance, appointing M. Maurice Duval, former Prefect of Nantes, Extraordinary Commissioner of the Government, and Provisional Prefect of Toulouse. M. Duval left Paris for that destination on Thursday evening. According to the Moniteur Parisien tranquillity had not been disturbed in Toulouse since the departure of M. Mahul, although there were still some symptoms of effervescence ob servable among the population on the 14th. The' Emancipation of the lath brings the rartieulars of the occurrences in that city on the 12th and 13th. At noon, on the 12th, a large body of men, armed with sticks, proceeded to the Veterinary School to invite the .stu dents to join theM, but the latter had been fortunately confined by their. chief.

(From the Journal des Debats.) • The external commerce of France amounted in the year 1840 to two billions, sixty-three millions of francs ; that is, 113 millions more than in 1839, 171 millions more than in 1838, and 697 millions more than the de cennial average of, from 1827 to 1836. This generahamount of two billions, sixty-three mil ions, is divided almost equally between importation and exportation : one billion, fifty-two millions for the for mer, . and one billion, eleven millions for the latter. Special Commerce figures in this for one billion, 442 mil lions ; that is, 115 millions more than in 1839, 440 more than the average of from 1827 to 1836. The 1,442 millions of special commerce give 747 mil lions to importation, and -695 millions to exportation. The increase-, of importation for 1340, compared with that of 1839, is 97 millions ; that of exportation only 18 millions. This simple statement of numbers shows that in 1840 our exchanges with the foreigner have made great pro gress. Let us examine upon what articles the increase has taken place. It was said, that the increase was al 7.nost exclusively upon corn ; the assertion is exaggerated. The surplus is 113 millions ; therefore the surplus of the importation of corn is only seven millions to general commerce ; it is true that it amounts to 22 millions for Special commerce. The principal cause of the increase ought much rather to be sought in the importation of Cotton, which, in 1840, represented a value of 151 mil lions, or 60 millions more than in 1839 ; a surplus which to special commerce, is 23 millions ; this fact denotes an increase of activity in our industry, and it will be seen farther on that this conjecture will be confirmed by the increase of exportation of our cotton tissues. It is just to remark that the arrivals of cotton in 1839 were very considerable, on account of the poverty of the harvest in the United States. Thus the provisionings of 1840 must have increased by as much. With cotton, other matters necessary for trade, such as indigo, silk, linseed, copper, lead, zinc, &c., offered each rather a large surplus. But wool presents, on the con trary, a sensible diminution,-either from the failing of the manufactures or from a more abundant production of wool. The former supposition seems little probable, for the exportation of woollen stuffs Increased a little in 1840. It will, at all events, be impossible to establish this fact as long as the-Minister of .Commerce will yer sist in giving no yearly statistical account of the princi pal branches of our internal works and produeC, This may be difficult ; but we do not think itina possible. - ' The importation of English 'linen thread scarcely in creased in 1840. Has it at last found- limits ? We doubt it, even with the recent rise of the tariff. Wen-. Ing machinery is powerful in England ; let us make haste and profit by this respite, in order to bring it into use in France. An important fact to signalise is the constant diminution 'of the importation of cattle ; it is upon this article that our unmerciful taxes ought to be rediteed. • 'the constmiption of our colonial sugars shows in 1840 a great stirpitis," • • • The exPortatiofis of - cur: Wines and brandy increased in 1840, People ttrreet td Sty tiint it is continually de ,ig. Thisis also false, but what it incontestible is, that our wines—that great source of wealth to France — find tery fps ORCPS where they can be exported. During the 'period between 1826 and 1830, France exported 5;321,000 beet: of ordinary wines, of which 2,151,000 i+efe . 6XPOrted from. the Gironde, and 3,170,000 from the 0fb.44 parts of the country. The total from- 1836 to 1840, was (1,326000 beet., of which 2,900,000 were exported by the Gironde, and 4,235,000 from the other departments. Thus upon the whole of the winch eXptifted there is an increase ; upon those of BordeauX a deefeilse: TLere is a local cause which it is DeceNary to examine. The exportation of our cotton tissues kit remarkably increased. From 86 millions, in 1839, it increased to 109 millidris in 1840, an increase of 23 millions—an in crease proportiofied td that of cotton. In fact, we now sell to furaigners tisSiieS of Ftricti cotton double what WO a ,p)rted ten "ears ago. it is certainly little in com plriAii with talc 450 Millions exported annually by Eng -1 and but, at all events, Otif cotton industry is evidently_ iiia way of progress, and we cannot doubt that it will reccite irn`ptrlsQ from the facility acqtlired by Al-. by the trety holland; of having its primary produce upon easy condhiiitis As to our silk tissues, their excoriation very little increased in 1840, which may be attributed to the distrust which the American tuucieiai crisis caused. B l aremarkedre consumed o t n h s at five ned millions of foreign silk more it is to ethaninbelB3s.e in 1840. MALPRACTICES IN CALCUTTA. The usual practice of the ghat-sherang is, the moment he espies a needy adventurer, from sixteen to forty-five years of age, to set one of his female decoys, of whom he has many, of different castes in his employ, to put her blandishments forth to allure him into her domicile.
