" That mercy we to others show, That mercy show to us 1" should be the leading motive of the Christian. And where has that Divine principle been more generally acted on than in this great metropolis, where people of all opinions are even proud to ink worldly differences, and shake hands on he altar of benevolence ? This is the true exem •lifica,tiun of charity ; audit is in this Christian pirit we hope to ;witness it manifested for the re ief of those whom pinching hunger and the larkening inclemency of the season doom to alzery and death. It were useless here to suggest any course of proceeding—a good cause needs no prompter but the heart. Great as is the distress in several parts of the metropolis, it is not beyond the ?ower of mitigation, perhaps of relief, for -‘ where there's a will there's a way," and the mited energy of a few has often saved many. in this principle we think that stirring Commit :ees in certain districts would, by their combined Laivity, do wonders, by stimulating their fellow nen to go and do likewise. No man is too low 1 o do good ; and no man, however exalted, hould be above following a good example. The ?r•ess of London, always alive to the wants if the poor, will, we are confident, step forward with its powerful advocacy in the cause of suffer ng humanity. The lady of rank or wealth •annot sit comfortable in her silken attire, and •effect that the hand which fashioned her gor ;eous dress is pining in want, with a famishing 'aridly around crying for bread. No, no !—the 'cry impulse of our nature prompts to :indness, and deeds of mercy!—the heart hat feels opens the hand to relieve, and the con ciousn ess of good acts returns in after days, when air own privations may be soothed by the re jection that, when opportunity offered, we were lot unmindful of those of others. What we have humbly but fervently ;übmitted to the good feeling of the aetropolis, is equally applicable to other places throughout the country, where large ;ommunities are suffering. Lamentation is X no avail without endeavour; people must work as well as pray; and the benefit even tu lly will be in proportion to the energy of the ne, and the sincerity of the other.

DISTRESS IN LONDON AND MORE PARTICULARLY SPITALFIELDS The distress which has recently afflicted severa_ -but more cepecially the parts of the metropolis, large and populous district of Spitalfields, is, we are concerned. to learn, on the increase ; so much so, indeed, as to call generally for public sym pathy and relief. Deeply alive t o the suffering of their fellow. men, we understand that several Members in the City, who so generously assisted the poor an d expatriated Poles, have now turned their atten tion to the necess ities of tneir own countryme n , whose distress was not so apparent before. The City of London has long been famed for its liberality—hut far more for its bene volence and charity—the band-maids of virtue. Acting on this noble impulse, what can be more honourable to the Citizens of London than to take advantage of the present ornamental and attractive state of Guildhall, by giving a grand Metropolitan Ball in aid of the poor—the destitute--arid it may be, the dying of starvation and want ? Sure are that the LORD MAYOR, whose meritorious career has taught him to feel " for others' woe" (and relieve it too), will be happy, if appealed to by his fellow-citizens, to give his high sanction and countenance to se pyaiseworthy a manifestation of public feeling. The Court e erm en, too, will lend their power ful aid ; an d no one who knows the public spirit and kind a - f esso Sheriffs can doubt fee a moment th.:tir cordial cooperation in so good a work. Alderman M AG •- N, is esteemed by the poor in his own Ward • 7 and we know that the liberality of Mr. Sheriff ROGERS is only surpassed by his modesty in LeStOWiL" , it. Nor will the . bankers and merchants of London be appepled to • in vain when the minister of charity supplicat e • s for their bounty. Of all nations in the rld • it is alone the boast - of Englishmen that they never ask for the charity of strangers on the contrary, their generosity The master manufacturers, the Anti-Corn-lav Committee in so good—so praiseworthy a cause ! Really this is true charity, and does more honour to Mr. PIRIE'S heart, than all the dignity of London could confer on the First Ma gistrate of the first metropolis in the world ! The CORPORATION of LONDON have also taken up the cause as their own ! Nor are the SHERIFFS as we anticipated, behind hand with their fellow-citizens. Heart and good will are the order of the day. The only wonder with them all is, that they had not thought of it before. But better late than never; and now they are setting about it in earnest, as if anxious to make up for lost time. Certainly everything looks very ans. picious, and the public Press will cordially fan the flame which benevolence has awakened in the heart of pity. But while time flies, the poor starve. Acting on this maxim, we understand that a preliminary meeting will be held to-morrow at the London Tavern, at which that modest but generous phi lanthropist, Mr. Sheriff ROGERS, has handsomely consented to preside, in order to make arrange ments for a general meeting of the citizens of London, and the friends of the poor throughout the metropolis. We heartily wish their bene volent endeavours the most distinguished suc cess. " Whogo giveth to the poor, lendeth to the LORD." One of the reasons on which the Pro-Corn-law men resist the abolition of the Corn-law is, that it would lower wages. If we are to believe the Herald, Standard, and Post, there never was in the world such a feeling and humane race as the landlords. Their whole souls are filled with an enthusiastic desire to protect the labour ers from the grinding tyranny of the cotton lords, and, regardless of unpopularity—regard less of the abuse of a bold and wicked press — they uphold the Corn-laws to keep up the wages only o of spinner s an d weavers. The m ill •owners , it is 'aid,r s toinsist on demanding the repeal of the Corn-laws beat down the wages of their workmen, which the kind-hearted landlords will on no account allow. The Tory press is unani mous in describing the mill-oww:Ts as grinding tyrants, whose s o l e o bj ect it is to beat down wages, and, for the sake of their own workmen, tie disinterested and humane landlords maintain the Corn-laws. League, and the Anti-Corn-law P e 5:, ifare M eallS behind. their opponeats i a landowners and their pseudo buaanl r - • ty. 37n g They tiresiuo not pretend, indeed , to care mu ch for the la bourers; though they state that the repeal of the Corn-laws would greatly benefit them; t h ey avow that their object hi asking for the repeal (and a legitimate one it is), is to. enlarge their own trade aid increase their own profits. At the same time they accuse the landlords of be ing actuated by the most sordid motives, of wishing to keep the labourers in poverty and . dependence, of beings esolute to dete ri orate G their c ondition—as witnes the conduct of his re Of RUTLAND in the Grantham Union, of being wholly unmoved by the most severe distress, and of actually starving the people to death for the gratification of their avarice. Both parties ac cuse each other of grinding down the labour. ers; the only difference between them is, that the manufacturers do not pretend to study the interest of the labourers, while the landlords as sert that their sole object is to increase the sum of employment and benefit the working classes. Without saying, at present, whether the master manufacturers or the landlords are most justly accused of grinding down the labourers--though we may remark, that the landlords are guaran teed in possession of the soil to protect the com munity, while on the manufacturers no exclu sive privileges are conferred, but they are left to struggle like all other men for what they can get,—without pretending to decide between the accusations of these rivals in gathering wealth, the fact unhappily, most unhappily, is, that the wages of the labouring classes are in many cases reduced to the very lowest pittance which can support existence, and their food is of the most common and scanty description. Thousands of the people are living on 2d. a day each, and if we could penetrate into the cabins of Ireland, we should probably there find that many thou sands have not so much. Day after day do we read accounts of mothers studying how they shall lay out a penny to most advantage for a family, for a single penny is all that they have to buy a meal with. commerce. Their numbers aretot estimated like those of the other classes; by hundreds, by thousands, or even by hundreds of thousands, but by millions ! It is by their labour that our machinery is constructed and kept in motion ; and it is by their industry and ingenuity that we are enabled easily to support burdens that could hardly be supported by any other people. Everything, then, that may have the slightest tendency to depress their condition, or to sink them in the scale of society, ought to be most particularly guarded against. Those who feed and clothe all the rest, ought themselves to ba well fed and well clothed. They am the foundation of the social pyramid; and so long as the standard of natu ral or necessary wages continue high, this foundation will be solid and secure ; for, so long will the labourers be industrious and orderly.. Bata this_standard be per manently reduced, if the labourers be once brought to place their principal dependence on the cheapest food, and to rest satisfied with mere necessaries, the want of sufficient motives to exertion will infallibly render them idle and dissipated. The spirit of industry, by which they ara now so eminently distinguished, will evaporate; and with it the morals, prosperity, and tranquillity of Britain !" We are reminded by a Correspondent, whose significant signature ‘‘ No Jobber," suggests a host of unpleasant suspicions as to the motives of those who are so eager to get our population transported to the colonies at the public ex pense, of the great sums of money which Colonel GAWLER and other Governors of South Australia have expended in that colony. Its fictitious prosperity has been supported by drafts on the Exchequer. The other model colony, on the WAKEFIELD principle, which a Company Whose especial fault is it that the population of this great country, abounding in all the ele ments of prosperity and we.dth, are in this con dition, we do -not now say. We content our selves with reminding our readers that the le• gislative power has, for a long period, been al most wholly in the hands of the landlords and the clergy, and that they arc chiefly responsible lb , : this sorry condition of the labouring classes. Ir they allege, retreating behind a false theory, that they cannot help extreme poverty, that it is the consequence of a too rapid increase in po pulation, and a too slow increase of subsistence, and that things have been so ordained by Divine Providence, the retort is, that, by undertaking to rule and govern society, interfering with every part of it, particularly with its subsist ence, they virtually undertake to shield the people from poverty and misery; and must, there fore, be either most contemptible charlatans or most guilty law-makers, whenever poverty and misery exist, It is their duty, in order to pro vide for the security of property and the safety of individuals, to take care that the bulk of the people be well and sufficiently fed. When men are exposed to severe hunger, as happens in cases of shipwreck, they are known to turn cannibals,—the stronger kill the weaker, or they cast lots who shall die, and they drink their comrades' blood, and feed on their quiver ing limbs. An approximation to that most hor rible and appalling condition is brought about in every society by deficiency of food. Against ex treme poverty and hunger, neither life nor pro perty can be safe, and the surest way to render both insecure, and make a people retrograde from civilisation into barbarism, is to approxi mate them to the condition of mariners forced by hunger to become cannibals. Without insisting on this extreme case, which the wisdom of those who devised humane poor laws endeavoured to make impossible, thougl, now, we are afraid, very flr from being so, let place before our readers some of the disadvan tages to the whole community of that low rate of wages which at present prevails in many em ployments, and which the landlords and the mill-owners accuse each other of causing, and of has begun in New Zealand, has ;been too short a time established to enable us to form an opinion of its results. To the New Zealand Company, indeed, which a few days ago declared a dividend of ten per cent., it seems eminently profitable ; and when. such large. interest can be !nade on capital invested in London, by selling land in the Southern Ocean, we cannot be sur prised that there should be a great multitude of persons ready to recommend emigration. It is certainly suspicious, however, that few or none of the advocates of emigration try it themselves; :hey prefer reaping tln harvest at home to break- lug up- the ground at the antipodes. Our Cor :espondent; who writes from the City, and who knows, we presume, something of the jobbers in That quarter, has made us look on the emigration . ;cherne in a worse light than before. We should like its advocates to inform us what classes are to be transported. The present system is intended to give a stimulus to agricul ture at home, the Legislature must expect it probably to want all the hands now engaged in it, and few of the agricultural population can be spared. The population which must be sent Abroad to relieve distress are the manufacturing trtisans, whom the landlords will not allow to ,lave work and food at home. What spinners and hand-loom weavers can do in agricultural colonies we are not aware ; and we should con ; der it the height of cruelty to send such men to grub for a living to the untenanted wilderness. Let its also observe that the condition of Ca aada may serve to typify the condition of most )f the colonies which may now be formed by iligland. There the dissensions between dif i'erent parties are notorious ; the quarrel between the aristocracy and democracy led to a :ebellion in. Upper Canada, and now con tinually threatens its peace. So, or worse, ill it be with every colony now esta blished by England. It will carry with it the seeds of a contest, which, sooner or later, will involve it in confusion. Those who, however, go .o the United States, become absorbed in its po pulation ; they must conform to democratic asages : and dissensions would be avo:ded, while the public funds would be spared, by giving us :me trade, and allowing the stream of emigration to set in strongly, if the people were that way inclined, to the United States. Instead of ex tending enmities and multiplying points of col lision, as would be the case with emigration to Canada, emigration to the United States would tend our friendships, and multiply the bonds of _unity and peace. desiring to cause. " If the condition of the labourer," says Mr. M'CuLLocu, in his "Essay on the Circumbtance. , which Determine the Rate of Wages,*" be de pressed— • " The prosperity of the other classes can rest on no solid or secure foundation. The labourers always form the great bulk of the society ; and wherever their wages are re duced to the lowest limits, they must, of necessity, livt on the coarsest and scantiest fare. Men placed uncle' such circumstances are without any sufficient motive to be industrious, and, instead of activity and enterprise, we have sloth, barbarism, and ignorance. The example of such individuals, or bodies of individuals, as submit quietly to have their wages reduced, and who are content if they get only the mere necessaries of life, ought never to be held up for public imitation. On the contrary. every thing should be done to make such apathy be es teemed disgraceful. The essential interests of society require that the rate of wages should be elevated as high as possible—that a taste for the comforts, luxuries, and enjoyments of human life, should be widely diffused, and, if possible, interwoven with the national habits and pre judices. A low rate of wages, by rendering it impossible for increased exertions to obtain any considerable increase of comforts and enjoyments, effectually hinders any such exertions from ever being made, and is, of all others, the most powerful cause of that idleness and apathy that contents itself with what can barely continue animal The Morning Post seems fairly to have lost its I wits since it became aMinisterial J ournal,and gives itself as many pert, ridiculous airs as a flaunting lady's-maid would be apt to do, who should sud denly find herself raised above her natural level. We can imagine how such an unduly elevated baggage would act. She would turn up her dose at all whom she absurdly imagined were ler inferiors in station; talk of her gentility; and anise the rabble in language borrowed—and vulgarised in the borrowing—from the fashion able Exclusives of the West-end. Just so is the.. Post now acting. It is a lady's-maid fancying, herself turned into a fine lady, and called up from the butler's pantry into the draw ing-room. To drop metaphor, our shallow-pated Contemporary cannot get over the fact that it is thought worthy to be considered a Govern ment organ. It no longer knows itself; is ut terly oblivious of the past; and imagines that its political existence is now first begun. It dates from the day when the Tories, like the Goths and Vandals of old, made a successful irruption into the rich and sunny Italian clime of the Trea sury Bench. We hear no more talk of sympathy with the people,who were declared to be oppressed, rampled on, and deluded by the triumphant Whigs; all this is clean washed away from the Post's recollection ; and it now sees no party worth an instant's thought, but that which acknow ledges Sir ROBERT PEEL as its head, and i s graciously vouchsafed to consider our Contem `porary as an inferior organ. The " shocking vulgarity," " the Satanic ingenuity," the " dia bolical spirit" of that "crew of miscreants," the Opposition Press, who are doing all they can to disembarrass the country of the heavy load of Toryism under which it is labouring, like the Titan of old beneath Mount 2Etna s—these are the themes which our fair Contemporary has now most at heart, and which she discusses with a flippancy that betrays the Parvenue in every sen tence. And wherefore all this vixen spite? Simply and solely because the Liberal Journals, The Sun among the number, are daily blurting out more strong, bold, home truths than suit the delicate sensibilities of Toryism ! They are existence. " The state of the peasantry of Ireland furnishes a striking example of the disastrous effects resulting from the depressed condition of the labouring classes. Thi natural or necessary rate of wages is there determined by the lowest possible standard. Having no taste for conveniences or luxuries, the labourers of Ireland are satisfied if they obtain a sufficient supply of potatoes. But ' as the potato is raised at less expense than any other species of food hitherto cultivated is Europe, and as the wages of labour must, in a country where it forms nearly the sole subsistence cf the labourers, be chiefly determined_by the cost of its production, it is easy to see that they must be reduced to a state of extreme, and almost irremediable distress, whenever - the root happens to be deficient. When the standard of natural or neces sary- wages is high—when wheat and beef, for example. form the principal part of the food of the labourer, and porter and beer the principal part of his drink—he can bear to retrench in a period of scarcity. Such a man has room to fall ; he can resort to a cheaper species of food—to barley, oats, rice, and potatoes. But he who is habitually and fed on the very cheapest spe cies of food, has plainly nothing to resort to when de prived of it. Labourers placid in this situation are ab solutely cut off from every resource. You may take from an Englishman, but you cannot take from an Irishman. The latter is already so low, he can fall no lower : li t is placed on the very verge of existence : His wages, being regulated by the price of potatoes, will not buy him wheat, or barley - , or oats ; whenever, therefore, the . supply of potatoes fails, it is next to impossible he can escape falling a sacrifice to famine !" To the condition when nothing can be taken from an Englishman who lives on 2d: a day, our people are rapidly sinking. Whatever may be the cause, it is the duty of the Legislature to remove it, lest the peace of society and the se curity of property be seriously compromised. To show to what extent other classes are in terested in the well-being of labourers, now re duced to live on the scantiest portion of the worst fare, we will quote two other passages from the same Essay, and leave them to make their own impression on the reader : " It is of equal importance to the peace and good order of society, as to the comfort and happiness of indviduals, that the standard of natural wages should be maintained at as high an elevation as possible. The higher the notions the labouring classes entertain of what is neces sary for their comfortable subsistence, and the greater the number of their artificial wants, the more secure is their coation. = - "When a revulsion takes place in any of the great departments of industry, or when the crops fail, the labourer who has been in the enjoyment of a con siderable amount of luxuries, can, by parting with them, still obtain a sufficient supply of necessaries. Bat he who is divested of all artificial wants, who is never seen in an alehouse nor a tobacconist's, who cares neither fcr comfortable clothes nor comfortable lodging, and who is satisfied if he has as many potatoes as will enable him to subsist and continue his race, can make no retrench ment. Such a man cannot part with what is convenient to obtain what is necessary. His subsistence having been reduced to a minimum, famine must unavoidably fol low any reduction of its quantity. But if such must be the fate of those who are placed so very near the verge of existence, what must be the fate of the richer class of citizens, if there be any such amongst them, when the cr o p happens to be deficient ? It is a just obseryation of Lord Bacon that ' Of all rebellions those of •the b611.:i are de worst.' is it possible for human beings, placed under such dreadful circumstances, to be quiet, orderly, and peaceable, and to respect the rights of others ? Is it to be supposed, that those who have no property will sub mit to be starved, Nvithout previously attempting to seize on that of others ? . . . It is idle to euppo3e that the right of property should ever be respected by those who are themselves utterly , destitute of all property, and whore wages are totally incompetent to afford them the means cf acquiring it. Such persons will be rather disposed to regard it as a bulwark, thrown up to secure the interests Of a few favourites of fortune, than as contributing essen tially to the public welfare. It is in those countries only where labour is well rewarded, and where the mass of the people are placed in a situation to accumulatewealth, that they acquire a stake in the hedge, and are, in con sequence, made to feel a direct personal interest in the Support of all those great fundamental principles essen tid to the existence of society, which they other wise regard eith er w ith i n diff eren ce or aversion, and which the slightest provocation is sufficient to induce t hem to attack."' `,` Nothing, therefore, we repeat it again, can be so sig nally disadvantageous, so overwhelmingly . disastrous to any pecipte, • as a perinenent depression in the rate of o e!'h li r e e P e i da agriculture,eaa thatgt wages, or • a decline in the opinions of the labouring d class, respecting what is necessary for their comfortable l w o l llg ere de t p h i e .es r s a e te i aed d, cent subsistence.

FRiDAY, NOVEMBER 19. 1841. Chartists. He gave a fair hearing to all parties, I allowed the Whigs to praise Lord J. RUSSELL, and the Chartists to abuse him and his party, and thereby secured that respect and authority which are invariably the reward of even-handed jus tice. Mr. SMITH told some truths which Lord JOHN and the old Whig party would do well to• remember. They had in 1833 the most glorious opportunity that ever fell to the - lot of any Government, of rooting up the seeds of Toryism, and improving and rendering popular the institutions of the country ; but they became .affaid of the people who carried them into power, they truckled . to their political enemies, and are now reaping their reward. Let us hope, how ever, that they will be benefited by adversity, and see that, without the lower classes, their prin ciples of government can never prevail against the grasping power and selfish interests of the Church and the aristocracy. By the Quadruple Treaty of 1834, France recognised the , abolition of the Salic law in. Spain. While Duke 'of ORLEANS, King Louis PHILIPPE signed a protest against the aboli tion of that law, as a junior Member of the Bourbon family, in conjunction with the then reigning Sovereigns of France and Naples; but when revo lution placed him upon the Throne of France, he united with England in acknow ledging the validity of an act by which the Crown of Spain was made to descend upon the head of an infant female to the prejudice of the claims of the brother of the late Sovereian. Upon this inconsistent conduct the Times of this morning has a clever article, which we notice for the purpose of correcting a very serious error into which the writer appears to us to have fallen. The Times says :-- The only solution. which we can suggest to the inex plicable and inconsistent course which has been pursues by the Cabinet of the Tuileries on Spanish affairs for the last ten years, is that the interest or policy of the family has invariably been thwarting the policy and in frirvring the good faith of the nation. As long as e 'Don Carlos held the mountains of Bissay, the Quadruple Treaty was a dead letter, and Queen Christina's Ambassador, the Duke of Frias, was told in the most positive manner that the assist ance she had a right to claim would not be given, either then or ever. But when Don Carlos is safely lodged in the custody of the French police, and Queen Christina duly under the personal influence of her Royal uncle, his zeal in her behalf knows no bounds, and he is willing to lend to the unavowed intrigues and paltry plots of a fugi tive that encouragement which was utterly denied to the open necessities and official demands of the Queen-Re gent. In other words, the Trench Government will do for a Princess of the House of Bourbon against Spail, what it would not do for Spain against a Prince of the House of Bourbon—nay, more ; for it appears as much disposed to lend succour to Christina against the exist ing Spanish Government without either pretext or warrant of treaty, as it was to withhold all succour from her against Don Carlos in spite of an acknowledged right and an existing treaty. The mistake here is palpable. The King of the FRENCH was not less favourable - to Queen CHRISTINA in 1835, and the three following years„ than lie is now; but his MAJESTY was then in no condition to stir, as he was endeavouring to form an alliance with the Great Northern Powers. His hopes of a marriage between one of his sons ar d the young Queen of SPAIN dated from his aceeptance of the Quadruple Treaty. Had family ties such an intluefice over LOUIS PHILIPPE, he would not have figured in the Grenoble conspiracy, and the Revolution which drove CHARLES X. from Trance to die a neglected exile in Austria. Besides, does not the writer in the Times see that, in assisting CHRISTINA against CARLOS in 1835, the King of the FRENCH would be exalt ing one branch of the Bourbon family in the person of the EX-REGENT and her daughters? The simple facts of the case are these:—Louis PHILIPPE protested, as Duke of ORLEANS, against the abolition of the Salic law in Spain, because it was then a matter of no con sequence to him, and was agreeable to the Roy al branches of his family. When KING he consented to the abolition of the law because it was agreeable to England and Spain, and paved the way for the accession of one of his sons as KING-CONSORT in Spain. He first withheld support from CHRISTINA, because he was afraid of offending the Great Northerm Powers with whom he was negotiating alliances, and he afterwards lent underhand support to Don CARLOS, because the Spanish Liberals were carrying out their principles to au extent which threatened the exist ence of Monarchy in France. He now espouses the cause of the ex-REGENT for the same reason, and because unless she be re-in stated at the head of the Government of Spain his dreams of an alliance between his son and the young QUEEN must end in smoke. Throughout this affair, the guiding star of LOUIS PHILIPPE'S policy has been his ovininterest and that of his"children. For the BOURBONS, male or female, apart - from his . own aggrandisement, and that of his sons and daughters, ,he cares not a rush; to place his son upon the Throne of Spain, there is not a BOURBON breathing, himself and his children excepted, whom he would not see buried till the day of judgment at the bottom of the Red Sea. The Paris Journals of Wednesday are filledwith the conclusion of the Report of the Committee of the Court of Peers, in..the case of QuErusszT and his co-conspirators. They are, altogether, a set of as miserable devils as ever gave em ployment to a public executioner ; and an enemy of the French Government might sup pose that it was With a view to bring the Peers of France into public 'contempt, that they were summoned to sit in judgment upon such a gang of revolutionary scare-crows. To pub lish any more of the Report would be to fill our columns with trash, which no Englishman would haVe the patience to read. But for the September laws against the press, and the laws . against public meet ings, such conspirators as QUENISSET and his ac• cornplices would have no existence . in France. The forcibly and openly-expressed opinions of the industrious classes at public meetings would boon convince such incendiaries that they had no sympathy to expect from the bulk of the community, and thus they would be checked at the very outset in their wild career of revolu tionary anarchy. Where the open expression of all opinion is proscribed; the wickedest men attri bute to the gagged multitude the sentiments of evil entertained by - themselves ; and it is only the - failure of •their marl attempts at revolution which convinces them of their error. Had virtue no voice, vice would soon act under the impression that all men were ready to walk •in her footsteps. In proportion, therefore, as public opinion is si lenced, is an encouragement held out to that treason which aims at the subversion of religion and Government. • The Journal Lt France has the following article : " The Journal la Picsse, publishing the letter of Lord Aberdeen, triumphantly announces that the English troops are going to quit Syria. Our London corre spondent informed us in his last letter that Sir Stratford Canning, the new English Ambassador at Constanti nople, received, before he set out for his post, secret instructions from Lord Aberdeen. "The profits which the English merchants have ob tained by the occupation of Syria are considerable. English policy everywhere seeks commercial advantages, and ererywhere, too, for these eleven years, France pays the cost." We can assure the Presse that on the Ist of November no order had been received to evacuate St. Jean d'Acre, and that in spite of the promises of evacuation of which the English Cabinet is so laviSh, the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre will not be evacuated.either in November or in December or in January. We have these details from a source so worthy of credit, that we do not fear posi tively to affirm their correctness. Events will not refute us, The Prase - is therefore - .mistaken, and deceives itself in prematurely announcing the- readiness of the English to evacuate Syria. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees says, "It is reported that Lieut.-General Harrispe, Commander of the Corps of Observation in the Western Pyrenees, is going to be re called, and will be succeeded by General Schramm. This news needs confirmation."—Commerce. The Spanish Government, as has been stated, has en tered into a treaty .for paying, through- its legation in Pails, the arrears due to the French Auxiliary 'Legion, by instalments, the last of which is to be remitted by the month of July, HO. The fist remittance of 150,000 f. having, arrived, notice is given that it will be distributed in the following maiinet, On the 20th inst., there will be paid at the Spanish Legation, No. 34, Rue de la Vic toire, one half of the claims, either to the parties en titled producing their documents in person, or to their duly authorised representatives. All soldiers whose claims do not exceed 501% will be paid in fell. "It was while the Abbe Cottret, late Bishop asfßeat!- vais," says the Gazette de France, " conducted it;::`; journal against the cause of usurpation, that M. de Jouy, the Liberal, came during the Hundred Days, and laid a baton on the editor's table, in order to take possession of the p'ace. The Abbe, in presence of suck an argument as this, retired, and did not resume his pen and the edi torship of the paper until the King's return. It was also under his editorship that Napoleon, who was displeased with an article contained in the Gazette, but which had, nevertheless, passed under the eyes of the censors, sent some masons to the oflice of the paper to put plaster over the types. This was how the liberty of the press was understood in those days." A Constantinople correspondent of the Quotidienne asserts that, when the Sultana Valide sent to Lady Pon sonby the magnificent set of diamonds as a present, the presents for the ladies of Baron Sturmer, Count h . :venires mark and Count Titoff, were of less value. "As soon," it says, " as the BaroreSturmer, the Austrian Internun cio ascertained this, he ordered the present sent t o h is. lady ' to be returned to the Sultana with an expression of his dissatisfaction at being put upon the same foot ing with the representatives of Russia and Prussia — Powers who,' he observed, had concurred only mo rally in the expedition against the Viceroy of Egypt, white Austria had spent the blood of her soldiers and ventured the life of one of the Imperial Princes. They ought not therefore to be.confounded in the same testi monies of acknowledgment, but the Baroness Sturmer should be made the object of particular distinction.' The Sultana on being made acquainted with this incident, made a new choice of jewels from the Treasury, and sent them to Baroness Stunner." Yesterday his Excellency Lord Cowley was visited. by the Papal Nuncio, the Sardinian, Ottoman, Neapolitan, P,e7gian, and Greek Ambassadors, and the Bavarian, Brezilian, Hanseatic, and Austrian Ministers. The subjoined miscellaneous news from Smyrna is given by the Oriental Observer, of the 20th ult. :—" On Saturday a melancholy accident happened on board the Inflexible. A man and boy were employed aloft, when the bey, losing his hold, fell upon the man, and he in his turn losing his hold both fell into the sea. No sooner was the accident seen from the deck, than 12 or 14 of their messmates jumped overboard. The boy was saved, and but slightly injured. The man sank to rise no more. His body has not, we hear, been found. The Gazette de France s tates that General Cabrera was upset in a carriage, near Lyons, a few days ago; but was nut hurt.

BRITISH. IRON COMPANY. (THIS DAY.) The first half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of the British Iron Company was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, which had not concluded when we went to press. We shall give a full report of the proceedings in our SECOND EDITION. RUMOURED MURDER IN PIMLICO. Yes. terday morning a great excitement prevailed in West , bourne-street, Pimlico, and its immediate vicinity, it consequence of a report being circulated that a woman named Reid, living at No. 67, in the above street, had been murdered by her husband. The discovery of Mrs. Reid's death was made about 7 o'clock in the morning, and in a few minutes afterwards information was brought to the station-house of the B division, in Elizabeth street. Inspector Taylor, who was on duty, lost no time in proceeding to the house, which he found sur rounded by an immense mob of people, who in one voice told the inspector a man had murdered hi 3 wife, by cutting her throat. Upon going into the bed-room where deceased was, Mr. Taylor found her - lying upon the bed, with part of her under garments on. Her throat was cut from ear to ear. An open razor, covered with blood, was lying on the pit of deceased's stomach. Her knees were drawn up, and she had every appear ance of having struggled much, and no doubt it was this circumstance, coupled with the fact of the razor being found in so unusual a place, that gave rise to the report that she had been unfairly dealt with. The in spector then proceeded to make inquiries into the case, when it appeared that the deceased's only child, a girl between four and five years of age, who slept with her parents, awoke about seven o'clock, and ran down stairs, screaming that her mammy's nose was bleeding. A lodger in the house sent her daughter up, who re turned, saying that there was a horrid-looking man in bed with Mrs. Reid. The lodger and another woman at last went up, and were horror-struck at finding de ceased with her throat cut., and dead. It further ap peared that deceased's husband, who is a carpenter, working under Mr. Cubitt, at Thames Bank, had left home at six o'clock, his usual hour of going to work, but no disturbance was heard before he went. Inspector Taylor went after the inan, whom lie found quietly at work, and brought him to the house, where he 'ques tioned him, and received the most satisfactory answers. The man Reid, who was dreadfully affected, said he could not account for the act. Au inquest will be held upon the body this day. SCOTCH FUSILIER GUARDS.—(From a COr• respondent.)—lt cannot fail to give pleasure to all right thinking and humane persons to know that a most ex cellent plan is in force in that fine regiment, the Royal Scotch Fusilier Guards—namely, the married women are encouraged to- subscribe 3d. a week to a fund, which is allowed to accumulate to the end of the year, when, by the ladies of the officers contributing to the same fund, the sodiers' wives are given a ticket to double the amount they have paid in, which ticket is directed to some approved tradesman, where they can go and se lect such goods as they most require. One of the ladies receives the womens' subscriptions weekly, signs the tickets, and each parcel is delivered for her inspection before it is given to the women. 'The above plan, if more generally carried out in other regiments, would recommend itself not only as an act of benevolence, but must tend to induce frugal habits both in the soldier and his family. SALUTARY EFFECT OF' SEVERE PUNISH MENTS.—THA SUICIDE MANIA.—In the course of a forgery case heard yesterday at Guildhall, Sir Peter Laurie said he regretted that there- was an evident in crease in crimes of circumvention or intellectual inge nuity ; but he thought the evil might be met by re- sorting to due severity in punishing such offenders. He had tested what might be done by such means in respect to the mania for committing suicide at Blackfriars7 bridge. He had a return lying before him, by which it appeared that in the two months preceding the I st of November, twenty-three persons were 'apprehended for attempting to commit suicide (only them at. Lon one et' don-bridge). Early in November he set the examp le of committing such offenders to be tried at the Old Bailey for the crime, and a day or two a fterwards e another Ale:!erenan pursued the same course with an offender This seemed to have checked the penchant for drowning at Blaelefr:ars-bridge ; for these two Were the only cases that had occurred si'Ace the Ist of November. SUPPOSED LOSS OF THE WOODM atu , :iety his been -felt here during the present week, in conseciuence of a report that the Woodman, of this port, bound for the East Indies, had been lost, and that all the crew had perished.
