I Evening 44 minutes after 4. rt LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1641. We learn from Manchester that the meeting of Ministers.on the subject of the Corn-laws pro mises to be very useful and very successful. Some hundreds of ministers, from all parts of the kingdom, have written to the Committee to an nounce their intention to be present. To make their assembling as useful as possible, a circular Las been sent by the Secretary to all those gen tlemen who mean to attend, informing them that They may serve the cause of humanity by bring ing with them facts carefully collected which are calculated to illustrate the condition of the . labouring classes. The following arc some o f the particulars to which their.-i,tpnt;or, wugurs - parri-turscruguraurilinektk.STlVAßrid unskilled labouiers. Has the amount of their earnings been increased or diminished within your experience, and how much ? How have you found the demand for labour to be af fected by cheap or dear food ? Have wages risen with the rise of the price of food, and fallen with its fall, and in what proportion ? Is the condition of the labouring population, as a class, letter or worse now, as compared with former periods, visithin your experience ? What proportion do the poor-rates in your parish bear to those of former periods ? Refer to prison reports, and to reports of infirmaries, fiispenaaries, and other charities, for statistics of the state of crime, disease, and destitution in your neigh bourhood now, as compared with former periods. If .your experience lie in a rural district, state whe ther the wages paid to agricultural labourers are regu lated according to the number of children. What is the state of the middle class:in your district, such as the small trader, &c. ? Is their condition im proved or deteriorated now as compared with former pe- Tiods within your experience ? Have you perceived any connection between high and low-priced food and an increase or diminution of the funds of your religious and benevolent societies ? Have you found any falling-off in the numbers of your congregation in consequence of the distress occasioned. by the high price of food ? Has there been any decrease in the attendance of the vi2holars at your Sunday schools, and if so, to what cause do you attribute it ? If these suggestions be well and widely acted upon—and we earnestly recommend gentlemen who cannot attend to send to Manchester all the facts which they think worthy of notice—a vast body of information of the most authentic kind, Concerning the condition . of the industrious clasges, will be collected by men who are placed in the most favourable situation for acquiring ac 4arate knowledge. We, however, would yen tnre to suggest that the inquiries should lie quite as much into the moral as into the econo mical condition of the labourers. The " statie tics of crime, 'disease , a nd desti tution," should not be incidenta l i llustrations, but the principal 'objects of inquiry in .connection with seasons of pl e nty and scarcity. Tables of mortality, wh ere -any have been kept, and registers of marriages properly examined, will thr and births, if - ow muck valuable light on the effect of tbe . varying prices . Of food.. - it will be useful also to ascer tain in agricultural - parishes, whether the sti mulus supposed to brie been given .by the - Curn-lawa 1 , 4 3 4 tt.1.11tare has- had the effect bringing -.Aare land into cultivation, and i4o of exterAdintt'eniFlovinent for agricultural la- Nnuere, or of promoting improved 'husbandry, and st) diminishing employment, while the -rent of the landowners, if not the profit of the farmers, has been much increased. Considering The great outcry which the Pro-Corn-law men Illwe made as to the Corn-laws producing ern pioyment fur agric labourers, a complete of this point will be of considerable 1 1; or should the amusements of the people be omitted from the investigation. In towns, those flevisled places which the Tories want to have defeaoyed, the population of which is exposed every day to their false and calumnious accu to•ttions, a great progress has of late been made, Jay nicans of mechanics' and literary institutions, by museums, aad public exhibitions, in pro viding a great fund of harmless and rational amusement for the industrious classes. Have any such efforts been made to promote the im provement and happiness of the agricultural la bourers? What is the cultivation of their taste as well as the cultivation of their morals ? What effect on their mental improvement, on their so :cial habits, and on their civilization, is produced by continually extending the arks e and' preserves rthe landowners ? i!Oo the peasantry. learhfroM their. adorned country-seats to acquire any taste fix sculpture and painting ? Do their music.halls send forth sounds, which improve the ear . and the voice. of their toiling serfs Or is the state of music and song--the amusements of an idle how; and the solace of many of the lesser g.TiOfs to which our nature is subject—Lruder aud'inot.e vulgar amongst the agricultural labourers -4 En land , than in the whole compass of the errilized world? From the little we know of the amusements of e.,rietiltural labourers, and the present state of tbefine arts amongst them, • which, in contradistitieticintiotritleweehanicarts arc taken under the exclusive patronage of the Tories—we can venture to say, at least of the peasantry of the North of England, that they are, in all that concerns song, much below " the rude Carinthian boor." The whole , condition of this, we think, degraded if not unhappy race of men requires to be known, and the whole of that cannot be known unless their amusements, and the state of the fine arts amongst them, be included in the knowledge, and they be can- Ousted on these points with the calumniated town population. • In rural villages the surveillance - of the squire and the parson is complete. They cannot complain there of dense masses of human beings mocking their power, to examine and control them in detail; and the whole world would be much instructed, could it now be accurately in formed of the sort of man the squires and the parsons—the united bread-taxers—have made of the agriculturayabourer. We are afraid that too few ministers will go from agricultural dis tricts to give the necessary information, for in them the monopoly of instruction is even closer than the monopoly of food. The aristocracy and the clergy are responsible to GOD and their country for the condition of the rural population, and that is such that a Bohemian serf or a Ger_ man boor would be greatly degraded were he converted into an agricultural labourer. We do hope, therefore, that an endeavour will be made by the ministers to ascertain the whole condition of the agricultural labourer. and make it known to the world. An end was yesterday put, by the publication of Lord JoHN RUSSELL'S Circu'ar Letter, to all doubts as to the day when Parliament will as semble. On the 19th, the day fixed for the re turn of the writs, the Commons will meet to choose a Speaker. On the ensuing Tuesday, we believe, after the Members have been sworn in, her MAJESTY, if her health permit, will open the 'Parliament far the despatch of business by a Speech from the Throne, which will express some sentiments relative to those measures of the Ministers, to which the Tories will not assent. We have heard that Mr. VILLIERS is likely to move or second the Address, and ensure a hear ing for the Corn-law question; as well as make that a prominent subject of discussion. The Tories will move, it is supposed, an amendment to the Address, and the debate on the subject will probably last the - whole of the remainder of the week, if not longer. At its close, a division will show the relative strength of parties, and thereupon, resignations will, it is supposed, im mediately follow, and the formation of a new Cabinet. About September the 10th, Sir RO BERT PEEL, with his forces in order, will be pre pared, we presume, to meet the Parliament to afk for a vote of credit, to pass a Bill to conti nue the Poor-law Commission for another year ;, then lie will be ready to dismiss the gentle men to pheasant shooting, expressing his re gret that they have been summoned from their genial and delightful pursuits on the moors and the stubbles to the close and unhealthy at mosphere of the House of Commons. So will be postponed till after Christmas all knowledge of 'what Sir R. PEEL can or will do to restore commercial prosperity, and so will the interest of the nation, fool that the nation is to trust its dearest interests in such hands, be postponed, that the Legislature may enjoy the more gratifying sport of hunting hares and shooting pheasants. We take it for granted, that the present Mem bers will allude to no other measures in the QUEEN'S Speech than those on which an appeal was made to the people, and that the odium which belongs, in many persons' estimation, to continuing the Poor-law Commission will be wholly left to the friends and patrons of the , Times. If Sir R. PEEL and his party choose to continue that measure, let them do it, and let not the c papers v have an opportunity hence . _ t hpe ltz,vew Poor-law was ex f'"th of sayiu - h*g Th squires, who must now blame of the Times, and avow their responsibility to the nation. The doctrines of the free traders are either stupidly misunderstood or wilfully misrepre sented by their opponents. What the free traders require is the restoration to all men of their natural liberty to buy and sell where they like and when they like. They do not ask for favour or affection for any branch of industry. On the contrary, they condemn as loudly all at tempts to bolster up manufactures as to bolster up agriculture. They say that such attempts are an interference with the employment of capital by individuals, and they have - learnt from their great master, ADAM SMITH, to denounce that as an act of sheer folly. The opponents of the free traders, however, represent them as aiming at exalting manufac tures and at depressing agriculture. They are said to advocate excessive manufacturing. Now really this is either a stupid mistake or a wilful attempt 'to lead the public astray. The free traders advocate and favour neither one branch of industry nor another. They believe that agriculture and manufactures are equally essential to social prosperity as the two legs are essential to the locomotion of the body. They say, leave both to the fostering and protecting hand of nature, and allow society, of the future condition of which nobody knows anything, to grow as nature dictates. It is a remark of Mr. STEWART that the human body is one of the last things man allows to at tain its full form; but we think man is more slow in allowing the full development of society than of the human body. The latter, however, is complete in an immense number of in dividuals, and children's he 2. ,1 5 ;' when savages flatten their or elongate their nostrils, they ma- 4 - imitate some, as they suppose, perfect nr `,uel of the human form. No society, however, has been complete. There is nothing like a'model community upon which the meddlers with society can form it. Now free traders want only that so ciety shall be released from the gyves and strait jackets with which these meddlers, with greater barbarity than ever a savage showed 'to the human form, have sought to fetter society. To represent free traders as pampering one branch of industry and stealing another, is quite unwar rantable. They desire freedom and prosperity, fair play, and justice fur all. We call attention to a letter signed " Conser vator," which we copy front the Times. It ap pears in that Journal with all the honours of leads and large type, and - -strange and discor dant sounds for the Squires—it advocates a fixd' duty on corn. In emphatic language it tellS;tlie patronse it,friends of the Tim es t h at they must give Commercial or and onmlercial Reform, a n d must speedily g there will be a convulsion. We hope the Tories' w ill not neglect this solem n warning. Edition Pr The Express r e c eived yesterday from ris' ena bled us to anticip ate in our Afterno on all the really important news contained in the French Journals of Wednesday. The dispute between the Government and the late Munici pality of Toulouse is -degenerating into a mere squabble, notwithstanding the efforts of the Op_ position Journals to dignify it with the name of a Constitutional question. Some three months ago a shoemaker of Montpel lier married a young woman of that town, and afterwards brought her to Paris; taking a lodging on the sixth floor, in the Rue, de la Boucheile. An evil spirit of jealousy, which had taken possession of the man s mind even be fore the union, haunted him in his new abode, and induced him to keep hiswife constantly under lock and key, pre ti ting.her Mil from contributing to their comforts by .flgowing her ordinary occupation of getting up fine linen. It happened thkt another native of Montpellier followed thciii to Parisi and took a small wine-shop in the same street. Here the shoemaker frequently resorted, and, is o days ago, ventured to allow his wife to go for some vinegar. The time required to get the liquor out of the cellar, and perhaps some little gossiP about their fellow townspeople kept the wife longer on her errand tha n the shoemaker thought necessary, and the jealous hus band at once converted the wine and vinegar-dealer into an old sweetheart of his wife. Under this impression, the infatuated man went to the wino-shop, and picked quarrela and his it friends before with bitesmre h mister, cor,butd ewasmmoiturt isny actneaaut ettCl U , , . ' I .4? • geance, for which purpose he had armed himself with the cutting-knife used in his trade. Enraged with this defeat, he returned home and satiated his wrath on his unhappy wife, whom he wounded desperately in many places, nearly cutting 'out one of her eyes: Her screams called in the assistance of her neighbours, who forced their way in in time to save her from instant death, though she still lies in a dangerous state. The infuriated limn was taken to prison. Two men, one a merchant's travelling clerk, and the other a draftsman, in a state of intoxication, passed along the rue Montmartre, the day before yesterday, shouting A bas Guizot ! Vine la Republique! and hav ing collected a crowd, insulted the guard posted at Saint Eustache. Here they were arrested, and carried before a Commissary of Police, who transferred them to the Prefecture. The'day before yesterday a woman, walking in the Gardens of the Luxembourg, was suddenly taken in labour, and, seating herself on a bench in the Allee de l'Observatoire, brought into the world a fine boy. The mother and baby were immediately taken to the Lying in-Hospital, and received all the care the emergency required. A remarkable case of sub-cutaneous section of the muscles, for the cure of a distorted foot, has been re cently performed on M. Adolphe Dumas by Dr. Duval, of the Porte Maillot. That gentleman had been afflicted with a contraction of the tendon Achilles, and other muscles of the right foot, which had turned it completely round, so that he walked on the outside edge of the foot, while the heel was raised three inches from the ground. A few seconds sufficed for the section of the tendon Achilles and another muscle, on the front of the foot, the result of which was, that the foot was immediately brought round to its proper direction, and ten days after wards the patient walked like any body else. The King is to leave St. Cloud to-day, to go to tho Chateau of Eu. Yesterday the Ministers went to the Palace to hold a Council. We have received news from Algiers of the 27th of July. At seven o'clock in the morning half a battalion of Zouaves had arrived on board the Phare steamer, coming from Mostaganem. At eight o'clock a proclamation of the Director of the Interior was posted up, ordering each of the inhabitants to receive one or more of these brave men for some days. The expedition under the command of General La moriciere,returned to Mostaganem on the 19th. During the march of our troops Abd-el-Bader had shown himielf with a considerable foree,and the rear guard had two actions. The Zouaves had caused the enemy to suffer great loss. We had 65 men killed and wounded. The column has brought back 800 sick, most of whom have been sent to Oran. The accounts from Oran, of the 24th, are of little importance. We have received a letter from Mostaga nem, dated the 25th July. The details which it con tains are far from agreeing. with those received from Al giers. The expeditionary corps has suffered much. The Arabs were more numerous than ever, and harassed it incessantly. They fought at close quarters. Many officers are wounded. The bravo Captain Delort, of the 6th regiment of light infantry, who behaved so admir ably at the passage of Abbet Kredda, has been left grievously wounded at Mascara, as well as other officers. It was thought that his arm must be amputated. ' We have lost a great part of our horses.—Le Constitutionnel. THE SPEAKERSHIP.—Amongst our rumours will be found one relative to the Speakership, which rests on so good a foundation, that we must in this part of our Journal call on all the Liberals to be present on the first day of the Session, and be prepared for a contest on the Speakership. There is at present a . prevalent belief Sir Eardley Wilmot will be put in nomination, and will be supported by the great body of the Tories. SIR ROBERT 1 3 XEI:8 INTIMACY WITH THE STANDARD. — The great quack, at hie Tamworth feed, said, " whenever there is any particularly shabby paragraph, it is als'vays from a correspondent' " The Right Hon. Baronet must have been looking into the Standard, which abounds with shabby, or something worse, paragraphs from a West End Correspondent. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 5.—A rather better business has been done in the Cotton Market this day, the sales comprise 3,000 bales. Both exporters and speculators have been inactive. Prices continue at our last quotations. The Market is quiet. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, AUG. 5.—A moderate business has been done at the Stock Exchange this day. The following comprise the transactions :—Grand Junc tion One-half Shares, 98 ; Chester and Crewe, 49 ; Great Western New Shares, 58. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, AVG. s.—There is still little doing in shares, and prices rather declining. London and South Western, 52i ; Manchester and Leeds, 50 ; North Midland Thirds, 9-1 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 21 21i ; London and Birmingham, 160 161 ; Ditto, New, 321., 24 24k. By the arrival of the Indemnity at Deal from Port Philip, papers from that place to the Bth April have been received, but they do not contain any news of inte rest. Flour had, if anything, fallen in price, it may now be purchased at 321. to 341.; Mauritius Sugar scarce, 351. to 361. By the arrival of the Veloce at Plymouth from the Cape of Good Hope , ,, papers to A lt AdAnea n lipa i tlyen fneeling of the Members of the Commercial Exchange, held at the Commercial-room, on 21st May, Francis Collison, Esq., in the Chair, it was re esolved that a Chamber of Commerce shall be esta blished in this town, and we are glad to observe that the mercantile community are alive to the importance of representing themselves by an • associated body. It has our best wishes. The advantage to be derived from this Association are incalculable, particularly to the ship ping trade of the colony. " There is no news of importance from the frontier. Some attempts at theft by Caffres are reported, in one of which a Caifre was shot." _ _ _ A public meeting was to take place on the 12th-June, to take into consideration the depressed state of the wine trade. Too long, indeed, has this most important export of the colony been neglected, and we therefore rejoice to see that the wine merchants, or wine farmers, are at last rousing themselves to a proper advocacy of their own interests. Tel E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1841 Portman-square, and Captain Belgrave, of Stamford street, Lambeth. At the second fire Captain B. was wounded in the right thigh, and fell. Hands were then shaken. An extensive robbery of money and securities, amounting to nearly 3,0001.. took place at St. John's College, Cambridge, on Thursday last. A College gyp has been committed for the felony. " Last week, at a farm- house in the neighbour hood of Burnley, while a hen was brooding over her young, a rat approached a third time on that day, having left one chicken dead on the barn floor. The hen pouncal upon the rat, seized it on the back with her bill, and shook it till it was dead." A hen like this is much wanted in the House of Commons, which is sadly in fested by rats. It should be instantly returned to Par liament, where it would cackle quite as much to the pur pose as Peter Borthwick. TIIE FUNDS. Both Markets closed flat and heavy last night, but opened this morning- rather firmer. Consols are now 89k for Money, and 89k 1 for the Account ; Three per Cents.

Spanish Active Stock, 19k ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 291 301 ; Ditto Three per Cents., 171 184. Money continues very plentiful, but there is no in prOvement either in the state or prospects of trade. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are, if possible, more gloomy than ever. Large concerns in Lancashire are about to be closed in consequence of declining trade. by which thousands of operatives will be thrown out of employment. HALF-PAST ONE. (From the Port Phillip Herold of the 6th April.) A new 'era has dawned on Port Phillip, in the launch of the first steamer yet built in this colony. She is nanied the Fairy Queen, and measures 60 feet from stein to stern. It is the intention of the proprietors to run her on the river, and amongst the shipping in the harbour; great praise is due to the proprietors, Messrs. Manton and Co„ who not only are laying for themselves the foundation Of a handsome fortune, but are alo conferring important benefits on their fellow-countrymen in generaL ~• There has been but little business doing in the Stock Market again to-day.

The partial cessation-of rain within the last day or two, though it has allayed in some measure the appre hension existing with regard to the crops, does not seem yet to:have checed speculations in foreign corn, bonded wheat being noW 4s. to ss. per quarter dearer than on Monday, and English is. to 2s. higher, with a good de mand. The arrivals of foreign grain also continue on rather . large scale, and the average duty has declined to 21s.

The Duke of Buckingham is not to have a seat in the Peel or Shuffling Cabinet, and the consequence is that the Right lion. Premier expectant will find a consider able difficulty, notwithstanding the lists handed round by his friends, of forming a presentable Ministry. Since the Post announced that the Tories are to have a Whig Speaker, and particularly since the Times announced this morning that there must be a fixed duty on corn, and which is supposed to speak on that point the sense of Sir G. Murray, and all the commer cial supporters of Sir Robert Peel, and•to shadow forth the Peel policy on corn,— there has been quite a commotion in the Carlton Club. The Ultras, headed, we believe, by Lord Lowther or Sir Richard Vyvyan, are resolved not to submit. At any rate, they are caballing, and mean, it is said, as they have not much confidence in Sir R. Peel, to propose Sir Eardley Wilmot, in opposition to his recommend ition, as Speaker. They say that the conduct of Sir Robert in 1829 con vinces them that they must not trust him, and to make him useful they must begin by convincing him that he is dependent on them. The Tories say. that Sir Robert Peel was dis creet at Tamworth, and refused to state his policy ; but in ' his letter to Mr. Shaw Lefevre he as sumes that he is already Prime Minister, and an nounces that he means to favour the Whigs. They in fer, therefore, that the policy which he conceals is in tended to throw more of his friends overboard. Sir Richard Vyvyan, whom the Standard formerly designated as Foreign Secretary, in case of a change in the Ministry, is not to have any post under the Peel Administration. Sir Robert looks on him, not only with suspicion, but with distrust. Ile is too straight-forward and un compromising a person for the slippery Baronet, who sees with much repugnance that Sir Richard has a scat in Parliament. The two Baronets are in some sort rivals, and Sir Richard Vivyan is already spoken of as the leader of the honest and uncompromising Tories. --• Bets are offered in the sporting circles that Sir R. Peel, as the head of a Tory Administration, will not be six months in office. The Salopian Journal states that a rumour is cur rent that Sir •lt. Bulkeley will shortly be promoted to the peerage, and that Mr. Stanley will, in consequence, be elected for the Flintshire boroughs. PEEL THE EMPIRIC. DEFINITION OF A QuAc3C.—A Quack—a boastful pre tender to arts which he does not understand. A Quack—one who proclaims his own medical abilities in public places. A Quack—an artful, tricking practitioner.—See English Dic tionary, and the Tamworth speech. And if a man did need a poison now Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell him it. Romeo and Juliet There are strange things spring up now-a-days, There's Peel—'tis the strangest of any— Whose proper vocation you know Was to manage the spindle and jenny,— Late has clapped on a big powdered wig And a suit of atrocious deep sable, And swears he has got all the cures In the pharmaeopceical table. But before he his practice begins Or poisons, or punctures, or throttles, He arrays with true doctorly skill His phalanx of flame-coloured bottles. You may see them superbly arranged Any one of these fine summer evens, If you'll just take the trouble to peep At his physic-shop down at Stephen's. Doctor Feel sought a patient, and soon With his card upon sickly John, Bull ho Made a call—cried his medicals down— rn-2,linfry.u.Shincr, nrsi,k.th-ttignAti) Spoke abuse of his last doctor—Russell, Breaded of speed—symptoms—physic and death• Said he'd save him—and left in a bustle. Doctor Peel to his surgery sped, And loftily chuckled when so/us, There concocted with true quackish skill First, a draught, then a " No Reform " bolus. " Mustn't let go my practice," quoth Peel ; " Must reduce and bleed Bull's' constitution,. Just allow him to gasp and to breathe, But—no word of ' complete restitution.' But, parblez Doctor Peel the next day Calling, caught John delicionsly greeting Cups of well-sugar'd coffee and rum, While 4 chicken's white wing he was eating— " Sacre Dieu !" cried the Doctor, prophaned, " Rare ..food that. for you, my fine jewel 1 Fowl, indeed ! no, no, black: bread and grits I alone can allow, with grey gruel." t` I'll be whipt"—said John Bull in a tiff '(For John's stomach will very soon rumble) If your quackship shall reign over me ;"-- 7 While he rose with a growl and a grumblo : High the old lion lifted his paw, Swung in fury, then, with' a loud roar, he Spurned the.

GEORGE..-- SEVENTEEN LIVES LOST.—lntelligence of the loss of this splendid ship, the property of Messrs. Fletcher and Sons, Lover Shadwell, llatcliff-highway, was received by the underwriters at Lloyd's on Tuesday last, and it has caused a deep sensation throughout the whole of the east end of" the metropolis. The unforttinate calamity happened on the night of Thursday, the 17th of June last, on the Florida shores, and all on board, excepting two seamen and the cabin boy perished. From the statement of the survivors Which has been received, it appears that the Saint George was on her voyage to New Orleans,-having left Lond on on t h e 29 th of April last. The ship and cargo are valued at 12,0001. SINGULAR CASE.—Mrs. Marsh, of Elham, whose death we noticed in our obituary of last week, had been afflicted for eight years with a violent pain in her side, seven of which she had been confined to her room, and her body was swollen to an amazing size. - After her death a post mortem examination took place, when a tumour was extracted from her side, which weighed the extraordinary weight of 631bs.—Maidstone Gazette. HACKNEYCHURCH•RATER—ANOTHERDE FEAT.—YestercIay morning, a meeting of the Rate payers of Hackney was held in the parish church, to make a rate for the ensuing year. Atter the passing of the Churchwardens' accounts, a rate of two-pence half penny was proposed, to defray the probable parochial expenditure. This was opposed, and - Mr. Miall moved to amend the postponement of the question for 12 months. Mr. Pennington seconded the amendment, which was then put to the vote, and carried by 90 against 34. A poll was thereupon demanded, :which would remain open till five o'clock yesterday. ST.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vittlitt OPittiOn• " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The French Journals of Wednesday devote their leading columns to an examination of the conduct of the Government at Toulouse. The Constitutionnel condemns the arbitrary conduct :of ' M. Duval in enforcing a Royal Ordinance which he had wrongly transcribed, and:which, being consequently illegal, the late Mayor was justified in resisting. The Courrier Francais says, that the Mi nisters have hitherto been wanting in energy and prudence with respect to Toulouse, and that in this deplorable affair they heap fault upon fault. Tho National contends that if the Crown be al lowed to dissolve municipalities by a mere ordinance, without providing for a new election, it may one day or other attempt the same with the Chambers. The France hurls defiance at the Cabinet, and dares the Procureur- General to prosecute the late Mayor. The Dcbats wishes the Government to give some explanations which France has a right to demand, but expresses no decided opinion upon the question. So much for the political tone of the French journals. We understand that the Government has accepted the chal lenge of the France, and will proceed to the prosecution of the late Mayor of Toulouse before the Court of Cor rectional Police. This indeed is the very height of mad ness! Mehemet Ali is intriguing for the Regency of the Ottoman Empire, should the Sultan be gathered to his fathers before his brother is of age to gird his loins with the sword, and envelope his shoulders with the mantle of the Prophet. The Sultan has directed brilliant decorations to be prepared for all the members of Mehemet Ali's family. All the tailors and other artizans in a certain vil lage of Franco have lately coalesced for the purpose of making known to each other the names of such customers as are uncareful of payment, and are determined to give no credit to any party who his not absolved himself of the former debts. .A Counter Company of young men has arisen, who intend to expose every master tailor, bootmaker, and hatter of this clique in Brussels. PUBLIC OPINION. The Herald strives hard to prove, in opposition to the Chronicle, that the present distress of the country is not to be attributed to the protective system. " The Paisley stoppages," argues our Contemporary, " were produced by the facilities given to persons of little or no capital to carry on extensive concerns, by the local banks. These establishments have, to preserve their own credit, been obliged, from local causes, to withdraw this ac commodation,' as it is called ; their debtors, conse quently, suspended payments, and the industry to which this fictitious system of creating manufactories had given employment is thrown upon the general labour-market. The indiscretion of the Scotch banks, and not the pro tective system, is then to be blamed for these disasters." This is following in the wake of Sir R. Peel, who, rather than accuse the monopoly or protective system of having assisted in causing the present distress, sailed all the way to China for an argument to prove why the country is so embarrassed. The Times, after attempting a lame and laboured apology for Sir Robert Peel's reserve, immediately pro ceeds to neutralise its effect by showing that he has ex hibited little or no reserve at all ! Here are our Con temporary's words :—" It will be remembered that the question of finance is nearly, if not absolutely, the sole great question of government on which Sir Robert Peel has not already, on more than one occasion, very fully explained his views. And even upon finance, the general bearing of his opinions is sufficiently known. Apart from the resource of borrowing, which is allowable only as a temporary resort, there are only two systems of supply to choose between—the old mode of making up deficiency by taxation ; and the modern, or Post-office plan, of raising revenue by abandoning it : and Sir Ro bert Peel has shown a pretty plain contempt for this latter bubble. So far the public can have very little doubt." The Morning Advertiser observes :—" It is quite clear, from the tone that the leading Tory journals are instructed to take, that, while hopes are to be encouraged of a calm, and liberal, and expedient policy, with regard to England, the force of the new Government and the faction that supports it is to be mainly directed against Ireland. No doubt Stanley's Bill is to be re-introduced with immediate measures to repress disturbance. Upon this subject Peel can calculate on a larger majority than on any other. Hence ho is likely to begin with it, first, to exhibit his strength in the Commons, and, tx.rnocilv,to crush, if Lossible, the greatest concentrated against Ireland, and more against O'Connell personally. Of these he proposes to take advantage ; and should he succeed, he will flatter himself that this " rock a-head to all Administrations," will be battered down to compa rative safety. To enable him to accomplish this grand object, troops from all quarters will be ordered into Ire land." To pour troops into Ireland will only be pouring oil on the flame that already rages in that country. The time is past for any such experiment to be made with safety. The Morning Post commences its first leading ar ticle in these terms :—" We'find that all the Journals which support the defeated Ministerial party—without a single exception, so far as we have seen—report with a scarcely concealed exultation the gloomiest circumstances regarding the public condition of this country. They actually rejoice in the prospect of the country's em barrassments, because difficulties will thereby be thrown in the way of those statesmen who possess the confidence of large majorities in both Houses of Parliament. The very aspect of the weather, with its clouds and storms, so unseasonable for the ripen- . ing and gathering-in of the crops, affords satisfac tion to these high-minded political partisahs. What care they for peace and plenty throughout the country? They only seek to have their party in power. What is it to them that poverty and distress may fall upon millions of the people, and perhaps drive them in their despair to violence and outrage ? They care nothing for the mi sery; they only consider how it may promote their party views." This is a malicious perversion of the truth, urged with the very same party views that the Post reprobates in its Liberal Contemporaries. If the distress of the coun try has been insisted on, it has been done in the vain hope that Sir Robert Peel would hastea'io set men's minds at ease, by at least giving them a hope of some speedy and efficient remedy. But he proposed no remedy, because most probably he'llaa none, but will be guided solely by expediency., The Nottinghatit Review says:—'.The very elements are throwing obstacles in the way of any Tory Ad miniayation. Let the lords of the soil say what they may, the prospect of a deficient harvest will bring about a re peal of the Carn-law.g. Lord F. Egerton, and other Tory Peers, are calculating upon this, and therefore we hear of new troops, of yeomanry cavalry to keep down the working classes and compel them to starve, be quiet, and die ! A pretty prospect this for those who have unnaturally supported the Tories at the late elections ; they will bitterly repent ityet." The Sherborne Journal, alluding to the present crisis, observes as follows :—" Never, perhaps, in the history of this country, did a greater necessity exist for .calm and dispassionate inquify, and for prac tical. and immedihte legislation.._ The Conservatives must lay aside their triumphant boastings, and sc'e to it that they are not, as it were, rejoicing and dancing on a barrel of gunpowder ; and the Whip must rid themselves of the fretful feelings of disappointed love of power and place, and both unite in applying themselves to measures of practical relief—measures with which party politics have really nothing to do—measures cal culated to unlock the springs of industry, which appear now to be frozen up."

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which came before his Lordship some time since upon appeal. His Lordship ordered the appeal to be dis missed with costs. MOSS V.

SHERBORNE. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, dismissing the appeal of the trustees with costs. MARLING V. KIRDY.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment to-day in this case, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday.. The case came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, re fusing to grant an injunction to restrain the defendant from infringing a patent obtained by the plaintiff fur making solid-headed pins, his Honour thinking the right of the plaintiff ought to be established at law first. His Lordship agreed with the Vice-Chancellor, thinking that an action should be tried for the purpose of esta blishing the right of the plaintiff, before the Coilit ought to interfere. BANKRUPTCY-(H' IS DAY.) IN THE mirrEn OF THOMAS S. CAVE. The bankrupt, who was described as a merchant, re siding at Walmer, in Kent, appeared in Court on his ad journed examination. The liabilities upon the estate were said to be very large, but their amount was not as yet ascertained. The assets were also . described as con siderable, the bankrupt having been the proprietor of the mines in Cornwall known as the Trevithan Downs, the Owen Veen, the Rospeath, the Wheal Fortune , and the Wheal Prosper mines, which had been advertised for sale on the 12th inst., and upon which it appeared in his balance sheet the profit and loss account, including capital and expenses, am'unted to 397,7921. Previous to entering upon the public portion of the business under this fiat, Sir C; WILLIAMS said he had to complain of the con duct of certain Learned Counsel, who, through careless ness, or press of business, failed attending according to appointment before him this morning, to argue a point in this case of the greatest public moment. He (Sir C. Williams) attended in Court at half-past ten o'clock to hear the arguments, and he considered that common courtesy alone should have induced their attendance. Mr. Nias, who . appeared as solicitor for a number of the creditors, wished to submit to the Learned Commis sioner whether, under all the circumstances of the case, it would not be better to give them a private meeting, as he (Mr. N.) was desirous of examining the bankrupt, as well as other parties. There were many points con nected with the case which required a deliberate inquiry, which could be only considered properly at a private meeting ; and, therefore, at whatever time it suited the convenience of the Learned Commissioner to adjourn, whether to a week, a fortnight, or a month, all parties would best consult their own interest by postponing the sale of the bankrupt's mining property, and having a private meeting.. Mr. Cave said whatever time might be appointed by the Court would satisfy him, as his sole object was to render all the accommodation in his power to every one interested in . the fiat. Mr. Nias, on the part of those whom he represented, said that so far as the proceedings had at present gone, he felt bound to express his approbation, and also to state that the course now proposed would be a benefit to Mr. Cave himself. After some further conversation between the Learned Commissioner and the' solicitor, it was ultimately deter mined to fix the day of adjournment on Monday, the Ist of November next. SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. HEDGER and a Bench of Magistrates.) George Wix was indicted for stealing six ducks, the property of T. D. Dann, at Nutfield. It appeared that a constable at Bletchingly had seen the prisoner on the 27th of July, at about eleven o'clock, passing through Bletchingly under suspicious circum stances ; had stopped and searched him, and found six dead ducks in his possession, which proved to have been stolen from the prosecutor. The prisoner said he had found them. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. In the above case one of the witnesses (the constable of Bletchingly) was severely reprimanded by the Court for chattering with the Jury while they were deliberating on their verdict. John Morgan was indicted for stealing from the person of (Patrick Murray a purse, twenty-six sovereings, and twenty-four half-crowns. The prosecutor and the prisoner were brothers-in-law, and the prosecutor had been left penniless in consequence of the robbery. The prisoner had escaped, but wrote a letter to his sister cautioning her as to what she stated about him, and, in fact, admitting the robbery. This letter fell into the hands of the prosecutor, and the pri soner was apprehended. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour. George Young was indicted for stealing a jacket, a pair of trowsers, and other articles of wearing apparel, the property of William Prior, of Shirley. It appears that the prosecutor is a labouring man re e'rtrworYtNitlSF.,7 Jilg himself and his wife left home , to July, and Prior locked the doitidelblkuiNg i/Witi l his pocket. On his return in the evening he found the win dows of his house broken, and on examining his box the property in question was missing. A pawnbroker at Croydon produced the property, which was identified by the prosecutor ; and the pawn broker's assistant, who linew the prisoner well, identified him as the person who had pawned it. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he .was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.) John Thomas, a tall able-bodied man, was placed be fore Mr. TwYFORD, charged with stealing five half-quar tern loaves. Hugh Mackay stated that he was servant to Mr. Mar shall, of Hungerford-market, and was out this morning delivering bread. Having to call at Charing-cross, he left his barrow in the street, and while he was absent the prisoner was seen to go to the barrow and take out the loaves in question. As soon as he returned the pri soner was pointed out to him, and the witness gave him into'custody. The prisoner said,, in his defence, that he was com pelled by want to commifihe offence, that it was the first Mintz he had ever been placed before a Magistrate. Mr. TWYFORD asked if the prisoner was known, and several officers in Court stepped forward and stated that the prisoner had been before committed for ..a:: similar offence. _ _ The prisoner still denied that he had ever been before a Magistrate on any charge, but Mr. TWYFORD said he could not believe that a strong and able-bodied man, like the prisoner, would be com pelled by necessity to commit such an offence ; and he was confirmed in his belief by what the officers had stated. lie should, therefore, commit him for trial. THE CORN-LAPPS. "In the abstract, it can be of no censequenco to the people, it is supposed, whether they receive commercial reform, the needed reform of the present time, from the hands of Sir R. Peel or Lord J. Russell. ' What we want,' say a great number of persons, is a reduction of the corn-tax and the sugar duties, with an extension of trade; and if Sir R. Peel will give us that, as he can carry measures through the Lords which Lord J. Russell could not, we shall be as well pleased to soe Sir R. Peel in office as Lord J. Russell. That is a prevailing sort of worldly wisdom to which Sir R. Peel owes much of his success."—Sun. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. MANCHESTER, Aug. 4. Sir,—Though taken from the Radical Sun, the above ex tract is quite true ; hundreds here voted for Sir George Murray on this express ground. In Leeds and other towns the same ; the people were sick of the Whigs, and supported the Conservatives because they expected some good measures from them, which the Whigs had not the power to carry. But should Sir R. Peel disappoint their expectations, I need not tell you that these would all oppose him in future, and another election would tell a different tale. 'No more Leeds Con3errative Members then, you may depend. You, .Sir, have more power than all the press besides, and I do trust you will warn the Conservatives from splitting on that rock of non-attention to the public will. You, Sir, must know that any measure on the Corn-laws shortof placing corn in such a position as to cause it to be a regular trading article from abroad, will not be satisfactory, and you also know that a sliding scale, of whatever amount, will prevent merchants from trading in it regularly as in other things. Now, for Heaven's sake, do say something on this point, and show the farmers, as you very well can do, that they can prosper in the long run only as the manufacturers prosper, and point out the supe riority of a - fixed duty to a sliding scale—in a thousand ways I need not tell you. But don't forget that with a sliding scale, corn, if wanted, must al ways be paid for in gold: not so with a fixed duty, when it would be imported by merchants, like all other produce, and only when wanted, for the law of nature would keep it out when it would not pay. You must see, that if the Conservatives are to stand or fall by adhering to the sliding scale, their fall is certain, and that before long. Let them give us good measures—duties to protect sufficiently, but not to prohibit. You have written in correspondence with these views before, many times ; now is the time for you to do so again, and if you could succeed in prevailing on the Conservatives to meet such moderate views, they are safe in power for years to come ; but not else, as'you would say if you lived in Lancashire, and knew any thing of the present state of manufacturers. Unless im provement come SOON, convulsion is inevitable. CONSERVATOR. • When Sir Robert Peel was last in power, there was one Member of his Administration about whose "sayings and doings" he was said to be peculiarly anxious—so much so, indeed, that one of his colleagues assured a friend of ours, that " Sir Robert never awoke played some prank which had of a morning without expecting the fi o rst piece f news to be that bad blown up the whole concern."
