Amongst the advocates of em i gration there is some little disingenuousness, with a great deal of dent. They argue the question as if it were one or 116 emigration, w hil e the real o f endo - ration , question i s , w hether the Go vernment shall interfere to promote . emigration at this time, as a means of removing or lessening the na we ti ona l distress. object, on principl e , to the Government interfering a t all with th e subject at any t i me , because Government is protect cons tit u t e d to the people in the f ree and ndustry, not We to use of of their capital i in employing either. at or ipifluence them re object particularly to t h e Government inter feting to promote emigration at this time as a means of retteving distress, b eca use that falsely • implies that the distress is ca used by a surplus population, and would be lessened by removing a portion of the people. There is no ground whatever for such an opinion, and those who en tertain it have never duly studied the q uestion of population. The presumed surplus of population is in rela tion to capital and the means of employment. But capital is abundant, and those who own it ask the Legislature to allow them to give em ployment to the people at home, and the Legis lature refuses. A great prejudice apparently exiStsoa the subject, derived from old times, when few other arts than agriculture were known as a means of employment and of obtaining food. It is still supposed that, for people to be employed and fed, a great quantity of land is necessary, and as that cannot be obtained here, the people must be sent to other lands in order to live. After it has been demonstrated over and over again, scores . of times s i nce ADAM SMITH wrote, that la bour-. the single source of wealth ; that the land naturally produces only rank grass, brambles f and trees, which must be removed before laliour can be profitably employed on it, the patrons of emigration still insist that land is the great necessity; that man is a superfluity where hind is not abundant; that labour is not the sole source.- of wealth ; and that our indus trious, skilful, and intelligent people, cannot ob tain abundance of food; because we have not here a great abundance of land. Such an opi nion is' at variance with some of the best-known facts of history, and the most palpable phe nomena of the present day in our country. Venice, Genoa, and Rolland, are all ex amples of great nations having grown up to almost imperial dominion with very circum scribed territories. They, particularly Holland, gathered bread from the salt wave. But if mere land gave wealth, why was not New Holland, why was not the immense continent of America, peopled with numerous and wealthy nations in stead of a few wandering savages ? To make those lands productive of subsistence required the industry, arts, and skill of Europe and those arts, skill, and industry, are capable as England herself proves, of gaining and creating subsis tence for those who exercise them. Mr. MALTHUS, in speaking of the checks to population in England, observes, that it had doubled itself in about 831 years prior to the be ginning of this century, and he adds that this appears a fair rate of increase in an old peopled country; but he goes on to express his astonish ment that in the first ten years of this century the people in this old country had increased at a much more rapid rate. Such an observation did not open his eyes, blinded by a theory; nor has it or a thousand kindred phenomena opened the the eyes of his followers to the very important fact that the subsistence of man depends far less on the extent of soil that he can command than on his skill, industry, and ingenuity, and he and they are all smitten to the heart with despair for the fortunes of mankind, and of England in par ticular, because the soil immediately at com mand is not immeasurable, like the heavens. They take up the landlords' prejudice, that the soil is all in all ; and, instead of demanding free dom for industry, freedom for enterprize and skill, they are willing to waft away our skilful men—who form,however, only parts of our great system of division of labour, and are put out of joint if they are removed—to the other side of the globe because there land is abundant. What is the lesson England herself teaches? Since the beginning of this century, though the ex tent of surface has not been increased, the popula tion has very nearly doubled. Means have been found to feed in England alone very nearly 15,000,000 persons ; whereas, in 1801, only 8,330,000 were fed. What has fed these people? The soil? No. Their own skill and industry. The cultivators of the soil have not increased during the last ten years to the same degree as the inhabitants of Monmouth shire, Durham, Staffordshire, Lancashire, &c., the great seat of mines and coals, and the sites of our cotton and woollen manufacturest The great majority of the additional 7,000,000 people are mechanics and artizans, who have fed themselves and fed others by their own industry. They have received nothing from the soil, or from those who cultivate it, without giving for it a large equivalent. By improvements in art and skill, by a better appli cation of industry, by superior knowledge, this vast increase. of our people has been fed, and while the boundaries of our island have not been enlarged, seven millions of souls have within the present century been added to our population. Is the reader aware that the addition almos. equals the whole increase of the population from the very beginning of history—during at least 20 centuries, to the close of the last century ? From these facts we assert that a great ex tent of soil is of much less consequence than free dom of industry, in order to supply the people with food, and that the surplus of population complained of does not exist in relation to capi tal, or in relation to the surface of the country, but in relation to those restrictions which igno rant and selfish legislators have laid on in dustry and enterprize. Those who would les sen the surplus by removing the people, instead of removing the restrictions, apply a wrong cure. The disease is entirely different from the one they suppose, and their bold empiricism would only aggravate the symptoms. One of those bold empirics admitted on Satur day that the removal of the people by emigra tion would speedily have the effect of adding to the number of those who remain. How are these additional persons to be employed and fed ? It is well known that the principal increase of the population has been in the manufacturing towns and districts. It is equally well known that the increase of the people in the strictly agricultural counties has been very little, and perhaps not more than equal to the increase of their town population. Agricultural improve ments, unlike invention of machinery, dimin ish the quantity of employment; and it is there fore doubtful whether the actual tillers of the soil, the number of farm-labourers, has increased at all. Those who would promote emigration, before the landlords' monopoly is extinguished, would give, as they say, a stimulus to popula tion, which population cannot be absorbed in agriculture. At the same time the landlords declare, by their Corn-law, that the town popu tion shall not increase any more. Indeed, it may be doubted whether it has increased much since 1837, and whether almost all the increase which the Census shows did not take place be fore that year. There will be no means, therefore, of employing and feeding the increas ing population which sending away some of the population is to cause. To call on the Govern ment to promote emigration, instead of demand ing the repeal of the Corn-law, is to forget all prin ciples in the pain of a temporary annoyance, and from a momentary hope of relief. It would be act ing like the savage whose unreflecting conduct we condemn, who sells in the morning the hammock he no longer needs for the moment, and at night would sell himself to get it back. The great cause of distress and discontent is the terrible in road still made by legislation on freedom of trade, after it has been beaten from most of its encroach ments on freedom of conscience and personal liberty; and be who now asks for emigration instead of freedom barters the birth-right of the human species for the privilege of being trans ported. At former periods of distress the Government was wont to come to the relief of the people by loans—by advances of Exchequer Bills—by open ing, if it could, new channels of trade—and by in creasing the employment and resources of the people. That system was knocked on the head by the Earl of LIVERPOOL in 18:26, and since then, only two years before the present Corn law was passed, the Government has continually declared itself impotent to relieve any great calamity which may fall on trade. The doctrine it h as professed is, that trade must help itself; that it will can do fin d its Legis lature, whi c h we kn ow can do so much to ruin, nothingto ewtrui retrieve it. Sir and Sir ROBERT PE EL seems fully impressed with resolves to adhere to this practice. Three month s this doctrine, and of has the community is he been in office ; the manufacturin g p art plunged in deep dist ress ; and 'has he taken, to not one thought By whpat as has he breathed, not one Ste we know of amend its condition. do his existence as Prime Minister? He has iss ue d a commission to . inquire into collecting the reven ue, with a view, it is said, to farm i t out to the Bank of England. - He has issued commis sions to inquire into Chancer y p rac tices, and into the means of improving the Fine Arts. W e ri diculed the idea of relieving the public distress by constructing public buildings when it was put forth by the Quarterly Review, but the Prime Minister goes even further than Mr. CROKER, and seems to suppose that our social evils can be allayed by a few fresco paintings. It is said his greatest, his . most important, proceeding, is the large promotion he has made of officers in the Army and Navy. Supposing that promotion to be due to the two services, and on that we give no opinion, it indicates a much more acute sensibility to the claims of the military than to the wants of the people. The spirit of an old soldier, rather than the care , of a manufacturer's son, and the wisdom of a commercial Miniker of a nuinufacitirini pdople, is visible in the proceeding. The Government feels the necessity of being in favour with the military, since it is resolved not to redress the wrongs of the people. They are obviously the persons whom it must lead by their opinions, whomever else it may mean to coerce. We are afraid, therefoxe, .however acceptable this promotion may be to the individuals benefited, and to the admirers of our gallant Army and Navy, that in the manufacturing districts it will be thought to add insult to injury, mockery to oppressi?n, and increase those feuds and that strife amongst the different classes which a wise Minister would make it his chief business to heal. A case was tried in the Court of Exchequer on Saturday which shows the use of Juries, and the tyranny which some Judges would exercise, un less restrained by the practical knowledge and common-sense of the persons selected to decide on cases in which the lower classes are interested. A servant girl brought an action against her mas ter for arresting and imprisoning her for a night on a paltry charge of stealing an old box. The case was heard before a police magistrate, who immediately dismissed the charge. Lord ABIN GER, who tried the cause, summed up strongly in favour of the master, telling the Jury that it was clearly a case of felony ; but the Jury were clearly of opinion that there was no felony at all ; that it, was the result of a paltry quarrel between a master and a servant; that the plaintiff had been most unjustly imprisoned, and in order to testify their reprobation of the conduct of the defendant and the Judge, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 201. damages. - Upon this Lord ABINGER said, " Gentlemen, this is your verdict, not mine." What right has a Judge to make such a remark ? Who ever heard of a Judge returning a verdict, and for what purpose could the observation have been made ? Pos sibly the solicitor of the defendant may profit by it, and put the plaintiff to the expense of a new trial. Aged Judges are generally bad enough, but an old man, who happens to be a new Judge and a political renegade, is beyond endurance. We subjoin the text of the diplomatic Note addressed by the Sublime Porte to the Cabinets of England, France, and Russia, relative to the violations of the friendly relations between Turkey and Greece by the latter of these Powers. Considering the extent of the pro vocations Turkey has received from Greece, and the repeated refusals of King Onto to afford the Divan any redress, it is more temperate in language than we were prepared to expect. Had the first advice of TAHIR PACHA been followed, the Divan, im mediately after the suppression of the revolt in Candia, would have made war upon Greece, without consulting any of the Powers. RIFAAT PACHA opposed this, foreseeing that any sud den movement would alarm Western Europe, who would only see in it a treacherous invasion of a Christian State, by a Government preserved by them from the fury of a conquering vassal. The Courrier Francais, and some other of the French Journals, demand Thessaly from the Porte as the right of Greece ; but there is now reason to sup pose that the French Government is rather in clined to back out of the promises of support made by M. PISCATORY to his friends the Greeks. Indeed that functionary, finding the quarter in which the tide is setting in to be ra ther adverse, hints at misconception of his mean ing by King OTHO and his Ministers. M. PIS CATORY in Greece, like M. THIERS in Turkey, will be made the scapegoat of Royalty, should such a measure become necessary. NOTE SENT BY THE PORTE ON THE 28TH OF OCTOBER TO THE REPRESENTATIVES OF ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND RUSBLi. The question of the property of Turks in Greece has been now many years pending between the Sublime Porte and the Greek Government ; and the position of a great number of Mussulmans, owners of this property, has become worse daily. The representatives of the Three Powers at Athens have just presented a Note to the Greek Foreign Minister, to hasten the solution of this affair. The Minister of the Sublime Porte at Athens has sent a copy of this note, and his Highness has learnt with joy this step, as a prod of the sentiments of equity with which the Three Powers are animated towards his Goverment. Not only is it urgent to terminate at length this affair, but all the world knows that the Sublime Porte is anxious to preserve unshaken the relations of friendship between it and other Courts; and to facilitate, as far as in it lies, the happy issue of affairs, which interest them, desirous especially of•maintaining and multiplying ami cable relations with Greece. Desiring this, on account of their near neighbourhood, it hoped that the Greek Government would evince similar sentiments, but in this it has been disappointed. First of all, this question of Mussulman property in Oreeee, provided for by treaties, remains for a number of years in suspense, in consequence of the interminable difficulties of every kind obstructing the solution. The property of a number of Ottoman subjects is thus lost, and themselves reduced to misery. Nothing, as yet, an nounces a desirable result. Secondly, instead of preventing the departure of those who were proceeding to Candia to aid the insurrection of the inhabitants against the Sultan's authority, the Greek Government has not even accused these indivi duals since their return. They are, on the contrary, treated with benevolence, and allowed to reside where they please. Thirdly, two young Turkish girls, torn violently from their mother, have pot been restored, and nothing is given but inadmissible excuses. Fourthly, a Mnssulman of 70 years of age, residing alone in his habitation, not far from Azdin, was assas sinated by night and his property stolen. Fifthly, certain persons in Greece have formed a So ciety to foment troubles and rebellions in the Ottoman empire ; and Government has by no means endeavoured to put a stop to this. Most of the Greek journals, as every one knows, disseminate most pernicious ideas, and tend to excite the Sultan's subjects to revolt. Sixthly, Colonel Velentza, one of those just alluded to, remains on the frontier, frequently passes into the Turkish territory to sow trouble there, and is now on the point, it is known, of penetrating again within the frontier. No efficient measure has been taken to put a stop to the trouble occasioned by this perturbation. Some time since, a treaty of commerce, containing all kinds of facilities and favour was entered into, and yet it was treated as pernicious to commerce and objection able, even before the least experiment was made of it. These things are contrary to international rights and amity, to the duties of a good neighbour, and they threaten the interests of the Porte, as well as the tranquillity of its subjects. The Sublime Porte, in consequence, begs the Three Powers, his allies and friends, to invite the Greek Government to devise means of putting an end to this state of suspense, and to terminate pending differ ences ; to permit no longer perturbators to foment rebel lion in Turkey, and to pursue a line of conduct befitting a friendly Government. If the employment of good offices ,by the Powers for the settlement of these affairs should produce a satisfactory result, this is all that can be desired. If not, it is decided that all Greek interests, and commerce, and affairs, requiring the support and intervention of the Turkish Government, shall be ob structed and treated with little favour. Nor need any observations be addressed to the Porte on the subject, since it has every right to act thus. It is necessary and important that Greece should give redress in the mat ters enumerated. The Three Powers cannot but recog nise and appreciate, in their equity, the importance and justice of these complaints, and the inconvenience and dangers that the continuance of such a state of things must give rise to. TheLSublime Porte entreats the representatives to inform their respective Courts, and begs the Powers to endeavour to bring about a speedy solution of the question of Turkish property in Greece, according to the note addressed by their envoys to the Government at Athens, as well as a settlement of the other affairs enumerated, &c. An interesting account of a revolution at Ge neva, will be found in another part of The Sun, to which we refer our readers. The Madrid Journals received are of the 21st. inst. On the 26th the return of the REGENT to pected. The decree for the the capital was ex convocation of the Cortes on the 26th of Decem ber appeared in the Madrid Gazette. The ca pital was tranquil, and the Funds improving. The Paris Journals received this morning re present the existence of general wide-spread dis tress among the working classes and small shopkeepers of that metropolis. The French Government, •by upholding systems of monopo lies, foolishly intended to benefit this and that class of producers, is fast reducing the bulk of the working classes to a state of the most deplorable destitution. Then the , im mense cost of her military and naval institutions weigh s like a millstone round the neck of France. Yet so deplorable is the general ig;• norance upon these questions, that a motion to admit Prussian beef into France free of duty, or to reduce the army by a single regiment, would raise a-storm of indignant, clamour against the Ministry! , As might be expected, the Syrian Correspon dents of the French Journals attribute all the disturbances in that devoted country-to British machinations. " The English," says a writer . • 'C,' % • ''' 4 - i‘ V*" THE SUN, LONDON. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29. 1841. from Beyrout, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, and his statement is received with avidity, " are generally accused of having fomented the troubles which now desolate the Libanus. These Eng lish are the engineers, the soldiers, the travel lers, and a Consul-General of Syria, command ing the troops of her Britannic Majesty ( Colonel Rose), aided by the ships and steamers which are constantly hovering on the coast of Syria. After having furnished arms to the mountaineers of the Libanus, and withdrawn them from the power of MEHEMET ALT, to place them under that of the Turkish Government, the English reckon on their gratitude, and expect to acquire a great influence in those countries; unfortu nately the Christians of the Libanus detest the English, more on account of their religion than from any other motive; and the English for some time found that as long as the Christians should he the most powerful party in the moun tains, they would not be able to spread their priests, their bibles, their principles, and still less to establish an influence there ; and for this rea son it is that they revenge themselves for the in gratitude of the Christians, and to accomplish their ambitious end the English have incited the Druses against the Christians, and brought about these deplorable events." We need hardly take the trouble to apprise our readers that there is no foundation whatever for this calumny. There are, we believe, some agents of the Bible Society in Syria, as there are French missionaries, but their books and tracts are equally distributed among the Maronites and Druses. The Moniteur of Friday has the following news from Spain : " The Custom-house station was established at Irun on the 21st inst.; prohibited goods, such as cottons, and most articles of colonial produce, are no longer allowed to pass. Those which are liable to duty are to be admitted free up to the 30th. The political chief of Barcelona has ordered the members of the municipalities of the province, who had been dismissed by the Radical Junta, to resume their functions. The state of siege continued on the 22d. The three battalions of National Guards, who had been disarmed, are not to be reor ganised; the others are to be so when all the members of them who are offensive to the Government shall have been removed." • M. SALVANDY, the French Ambassador to the Court of Madrid, was expected to set out for Spain on Sunday morning. This may he taken as a decided proof of the restoration of more amicable relations between the Governments of M. GUIZOT and the Duke of VICTORY. The morning before last, the concierge of a house in the Rue du Platre au Marais not appearing at an un usually late hour, some of the tenants forced their way into his lodge, and found him dead from two causes com bined. It appeared that he had gone to bed with a lighted brazier in his room, but finding suffocation coming on, he attempted to get up. Being too weak to rise, he had got hold of the cord which leads to the gate to help himself, but in the confusion of his brain he twined it round his neck, and this added suspension to suffocation. The Lynx of Brussels states that, early on Tuesday morning, simultaneous visits of the police were made at its offices and at the residence of its responsible editor, M. Van den Plas, and also at the apartments of Mlle. Pi card, in the Rue des Hirondelles. M. Van den Plas was conducted before the examining magistrate,and after his interrogation was detained in custody. On the same day M. Ernest Vandersmissen, jun., was committed as an ac complice in the late plot. The police has also arrested M. Vandewalle, an agent, intrusted with the private affairs of General Vandermeeren. They are all three in close confinement in the prison of the Petits Carmes. Several of our Paris Contemporaries give the follow ing piece of news. Our readers may form a judgment of its authenticity, by the writer being ignorant even of the name of the British Ambassador, who is not Lord Strangford, but Sir Stratford Canning :—" Lord Strang ford, the new English Ambassador at Constantinople, is said to have received the following instructions :—First, to demand the demolition of the fortifications at Soulina, raised in contempt of the treaty of Adrianople, which interdicts the Russians from forming any works on that island. Secondly, to claim free entrance into the Da nube without performance of quarantine. Thirdly, to to urge the Divan to undertake the canal of Kustendji. which will save vessels passing by the Danube from hav ing to account to the Russian officers on entering the lower part of the river. Fourthly, to obtain alterations in the treaties which favour the Russian trade, or rather that which is carried on under protection of the Rus sian flag." A letter from Troyes of the 23d inst. states that Pot tevoie, whose exectition was to have taken place on the 22d, but was postponed on account of the guillotine being out of order, was executed on the foll o wing day, the guillotine having been in the meantime repaired. At the scaffold, the priest who accompanied the criminal addressed the crowd, stating that the want of religion had alone brought Pottevoie to an untimely end, and urging all present to avoid his example. The criminal himself merely said that he asked pardon of God, but that he ought not to have been executed, as the man whom he had struck was not dead. It appears that Pot tevoie, notwithstanding his depraved disposition, had whilst in prison tamed a pigeon and a sparrow, to which he was tenderly attached. Accounts from Lons-le-Saulnier, in the Jura, state that after a fortnight of the finest weather the winter had set in suddenly, and the ground is covered with snow to the depth of from 13 to 15 inches. On the 16th inst., at twelve o'clock, the following phenomenon occurred. The weather was frightful, the atmosphere very cold, and the wind whirling the snow to a great height in the air, when there was a tremendous explosion of thunder and a single flash of lightning, which set fire to the tower of the church, but fortunately the smoke was im mediately seen, and measures taken with suc h prompti tude that the re was extinguished before any great da mage was done. The police has lately been extremely active in tracing out a number of thieves, who take up their abodes in the environs of Paris, whence they come into the city to commit their depredations, and afterwards escape to their obscure retreats. Six were found two days ago, and their arrest is deemed the more important, as they are all old offenders, and some of them are known to be chiefs of gangs. " On Wednesday," says the Memorial Bordelais, " we had the satisfaction of seeing brought into execution a measure of police long demanded. Commissioners and officers have visited the places where milk is sold, to as certain and note the frauds which are practised in this trade. Numerous vessels of adulterated milk were emp tied into the kennels, and informations laid against the delinquents." This is a good hint for the police autho rities of the capital. A. letter from Amsterdam of the 21st inst. says : " Prince Frederick of the Netherlands, who has returned from Berlin, has been to Loo to pay hi s res p e cts to his father. The King, notwithstanding his anxious desire, has not been able to do the same, as the ex-King attaches to the visit conditions to which, as King, he cannot accede. The ex-King will remain at Loo until the 30th inst. There was a considerable fire occasioned on Thurs day evening at La Chapelle St. Denis, a suburb of Paris, by some children lighting and throwing about chemical matches, which they had bought of an itinerant dealer in these articles. The flames caught a number of old carriage bodies in a depot, and the whole were consumed. Another fire occurred the same night near the Barriere, at the end of the Rue Grange aux Belles, in a manufac tory of painted leather. Notwithstanding the prompt assistance given everything was consumed. It is said the proprietor was not insured. The Commerce of to-day publishes a letter from Mos taganem, dated the 10th inst., relative to the last expe dition of General Bugeaud, and General Lamoriciere, from which it would appear that the resistance met with from the troops of Abd-el-Kader, and the fatigue and sickness in the French army, were greater than would be inferred from the accounts hitherto received. This letter states that the men and horses on their return were nearly worn out with fatigue, and that the hospital of Mostaganem did not suffice for the reception of the sick ; 200 sick had, therefore, been sent to Oran in the Euphrates, and 200 in the Sphinx, a larger number still remaining at Mostaganem, and 300 at Mascara. The fcesaonrdBtahssemofbloeodtouhneder Abd-el-Kader t between the 4 th 13,000 men, r e g u l ars, the 12th, although th e enemy was d e f ea t e d, th e res i s t a n c e a a n r d e ir s re ta g t ni ed are ti , o a h n a d v i e n amounted u a n ff t a e i d r o t o f is represented to have been so vigorous that General Bugeaud considered it prudent not again to divide his forces, which amounted together to 11,000 men. The destruction of Saida, however, which had enabled Abd el-Kader to maintain his authority in- that part of the country, had produced a great moral -effect upon the tribes, who had hitherto been kept in subjection by him, and they were, as stated in the accounts already given, coming over to the French. Our readers have not forgotten that the Contemporaine had instituted an action against the Temps, which, in an article on the aff a i rs o f the Letters had spoken of her as guilty of forgery, and that she demanded 50,000 francs damages. Our Correspondent informs us that according to a report spreading in some circles, the action will not be persisted in, the Contemporaine having, it is said, re ceived the sum whi c h she claimed as damages, but it should seem that the 50,000 francs have not been paid by the Temps. As this affair is of some importance, we think it ß r o ig uß right t s o E re_p_ p or Ait ta i l s l , that is done, and even all that is said respectin g it .

FOREIGN. The French Journals are still occupied with the ver dict of the Jury in the case - of M. Ledru Rollin for libel. The verdict has evidently placed the Government in what Brother Jonathan calls a fix. The law officers of the Crown are doubtful whether they have the power to im prison M. Ledru Rollin, as by the 43d article of the Charter, a deputy cannot be arrested during the Session, or for a period of six weeks preceding or following it. Spain had established the new Custom-house regula tions at Irun on the 21st instant. The intelligence greatly irritated the French inhabitants on the frontier who expected that smuggling would continue till the Ist of December. " Yet surely," says the correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, writing from Bayonne, " No personi have less right to complain of Spanish Custom-house restrictions than the French in habitants of the towns on the Spanish frontier. The un necessary and most vexatious rigour of the French Cus tom-house officers at Behobia and Socoa has been long proverbial, and any individual, Spanish, English, or French, who has passed the frontier, will not forget the severe and odious scrutiny to which not 'only his bag gage, but even his person, has been always submitted. Female children of the tender age of ten and twelve years have been not unfrequently stripped of their gar ments, for the purpose of ascertaining if even between the chemise and the skin they might not have concealed some article prohibited by . the French tariff, and from this indecent examination no age was exempt. I have myself seen, about three years ago, a woman, aged about sixty years, placed in a situation of much embarrass ment, from the fact of its having been discovered by one of these Arguses that she wore a man's cotton shirt, value about two francs and a half or ther ea b ou t s , un d er her gown. It was in vain the poor woman protested that the article belonged to her husband, who accom panied her, and she put it on merely to afford herself ad ditional protection against the cold, and not for the pur pose of smuggling. The husband made the same de claration, and the truth of their statement was proved by some persons who had come with them from San Sebas tian. It was all in vain. The cotton shirt, worth 24f., not having been washed, went to augment the revenue of his Majesty the King of the French." The greatest distress prevails among the working classes in Paris. Among the small shopkeepers failures are so common, that in some places whole streets are in a mariner deserted. The Presse, which never exagge rates the distresses of the poor, says—" At this season, when the trade of the capital, in consequence of the ap proach of the new year, is generally most prosperous, several shops are seen closed every day, in the richest and most populous neighbourhoods. This commercial crisis has caused numerous failures. As a further sign of the times, forced sales by auction and executions suc ceed in alarming numbers." The Commerce Beige asserts that the project .of mar riage between the eldest son of Don Carlos and Queen Isabella has received the approbation of Don Carlos, and that the negotiations have been carried on by a special Envoy from the Court of Naples. "This project," it adds, "has been submitted to the English Cabinet by the Neapolitan Ambassador at London, and has been sup ported by the Duke of Wellington. Lord Aberdeen, with the unanimous consent of the British Cabinet, has addressed instructions to the British resident Minister at Madrid, and has also addressed a private letter to the Duke de la Vittoria, urging him to come at once to a decision conformable to the intentions which have directed these negotiations, Great Britain undertaking to obtain the adhesion of all the other great Powers." The responsible editors of the Nouvelle Mode and the Revue du Siecle, were both brought yesterday before the Correctional Tribunal, for publishing their respective Journals without having made a sufficient deposit of caution money. The first was sentenced to a month's imprisonment, and 200 francs fine ; and the second, to two penalties, one of two months' imprisonment, and 300 francs fine, and the other of four months' imprison ment, and 300 francs fine. When lately we mentioned the presents made by the Sultan to the British dragomans, we forgot to notice those given to Charles Bankhead, Esq., Secretary of Embassy, and now Minister pro tempore, as also to Mr. Doyle, Lord Ponsonby's Secretary, to Mr. Alison, Attache to the Embassy, and to Mr. Wood, now Consul at Da mascus. They consisted of valuable gold snuff-boxes, mounted in brilliants. On the evening of the 7th, the Sultan went in great state to the mosque of Topkhane to celebrate the cere mony of the Nadir Guecijessi ; this night of the Rama zan, which is usually the fourth before the Bairam, is called Amer, which means " the night of power," on ac count of the miracles said to have been then performed by Mahomet, and by which he manifested his pretended mission. It is, at this time, that the Sultana Valide se lects one of the greatest beauties of her harem as a pre sent to the Sultan. All the great functionaries accom panied the Sultan, and salutes were fired and fireworks left off. He returned with the same pomp to the palace, where the female chosen by the Sultana Valide was pre sented to him. The crowd assembled to witness the pro cession of the Sultan was immense. " A letter from Constantinople says :—A few days ago the country house of Madame Feri, situate on the road to the Sweet Waters, was forcibly entered by seven men in disguise, who carried off every thing of value that was portable. An Armenian house at Yenikuoy was also entered, and shawls, jewellery, and fur pelisses were taken, to the amount, it is said, of 7001. The house, at Buyukdere, of M. Sonza, the Spanish Secretary of Lega tion, has been further visited, and robbed of such articles of plate as could be found. It is suspected that these depredations in the country are committed by Harvats (Croatians), few of whom can be made to understand the difference between nzeum and town. In town also many houses have been pillaged." The Agram Gazette, of the Bth inst., has the follow ing :—" All the Servian exiles left Constantinople on the Ist inst. They are to be accompanied as far as Belgrade by a Turkish Commissioner, and an Imperial order, to which the Servian Government has given its adhesion, fixes the indemnity, for the salaries which they have lost, at 500,000 piastres. Splendid presents were made to them by the Ottoman Porte. On the sth Prince Mi chael visited General Baron de Haner at Semlin. He was accompanied by his uncle and two Aides-de-Camp. Princess Lubitza is at Kragnjewitz." The Malta Times says :—" His Excellency Lieutenant- General Sir Henry Bouverie arrived here last Sunday morning, and landed at the Custom-house, at 8 o'clock, where a guard of honour, composed of the light company of the Royal Malta Fencible regiment, with regimental colour and band, received his Excellency with arms pre sented, the band playing, God save the Queen.' His Excellency was saluted by the garrisonoccording to his high rank. On account of some recent untoward events, we hear that the arrival of Sir Henry Bouverie created an universal joy in the minds of the people. In fact, it is clear that the Maltese are now greatly afraid of losing his Excellency—their fears, however, we are happy to say, are totally unfounded. The Queen of Portugal prorogued the Chambers onthe 18th instant. The birth of the Prince of Wales had caused great joy among the English residents at Lisbon. Lord Howard de Walden was about to give a grand diplomatic dinner on the occasion, and all the vessels of war in the Tagus had been dressed out, and fired royal salutes in honour of the birth of an heir apparent to the British throne. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times relates several revolting particulars respect ing the treatment to which paupers are subjected in the workhouse at Seven Oaks; and after observing that their health has been sacrificed " to the maintenance of the prohibitory orders of the Poor-law Commissioners," goes on to state that—" In February all the children in the house, of both sexes (except two or three infants) had the itch; about a dozen had bad feet and chilblains, with the bones of their toes protruding , in consequence of neglect. On the 29th of April Mr. Adams reported to the Board that there were then in the house 78 boys and 94 girls and infant children; that all the boys had enlargement of the neck, and 42 had likewise goitres; that of the girls and infants, 91 had enlarged glands at the back of the neck, and 63 also goitres. Mr. Harris, the present medical officer, states, that in June there were 26 boys and 52 girls ill with goitres ;' and in July almost the same number, though there was then some improvement among the boys. In August (just when harvest-time was coming on, and when, the house being almost empty of able-bodied men, additional temporary accommodation was afforded to the children) the disease had almost disappeared. In answer to a question from Mr. Tufnell, Mr. Harris observed, that ' in reference to his private practice, glandular diseases were much more numerous in the house than out of it ;' and to another questioner replied, that of course a crowded state of any house must be pernicious to health.' "—These are crying evils that should be at once remedied ; the wonder is, how they have been so long permitted to exist without a rigid investigation. The Post has a leading article on the subject of Lord John Russell's reply to the complimentary address lately presented to him by the inhabitants of Plymouth, in the course of which our Contemporary makes the following remarks :—" The allusion to the repeal of the Roman Catholic disabilities is peculiarly unfortunate. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel changed their course upon the Roman Catholic question as Lord Melbourne and Lord John Russell have changed theirs upon the question of, the Corn-law. The differ ences between the circumstances of the two cases are only these —the former statesmen did not change when they were on the eve of being turned . out."— The difference between the two changes is' just this • The Tories changed on the subject of Catholic emanci pation from expediency ; the Whigs changed on the subject of the Corn-law from conviction. The latter adopted an altered system of policy from the force of reasoning and observation ; the former, because they knew that otherwise they could not maintain themselves in power. As far as Sir Robert Peel is con cerned, he took special care not to change his views of the Catholic question, till his great rival—we should rather say his immeasurable superior —Mr. Canning, was dead, though the necessity for a change was quite as obvious during the closing years of this stateman's life, as after his death. The Herald, speaking of the attempts of the Puseyites to have an Oxford Professor of Poetry of their own, re marks as follows :—" How much Puseyism has already spread by means of poetry, is well known to all who have read the writings of Mr. Keble himself, the most amiable of men, and the Tom Moore' of Puseyites. If the ladies are to be made Puseyites, it must be done by hymns to altars and candlesticks—by aspirations to the Virgin, and by addresses to female saints and martyrs.. The Lyra Poeti ca ' mus t b e a tt une d t o th e no t es o f Yr,.Willianis, whilst the Lyra..Logica' remains in all its dissonance, to be scraped by Archbishop King and Archbishop Whateley, with an occasional dirge from Messrs. Newman and Pusey. We call upon the clergy of the entire kingdom, therefore, not to allow this con test to be decided by the votes• of the resident members of the University, but to remember that the chair of Poetry at Oxford is, in fact, the chair of Puseyite theo logy. Should they obtain that chair—what, between their poetry and their logic, they will cajole not only the University but the Church itself out of the principles of our Protestant Reformation—nay, it is possible they may eventually cajole us out of the belief of all religion."— A Puseyite poet is a contradiction that we cannot under stand. The mind of the one is at direct, open variance with that of the other. The Puseyite is for keeping the human intellect in chains; the poet is for allowing it to expatiate, boldly and unfettered, over the wide realms of thought and imagination. The Puseyite cannot soar above ceremonial observances and worn-out common places; the poet cannot exercise his calling, unless he have the utmost freedom of thought. A Puseyite Pro fessor of Poetry! Was ever anything so preposterous, so contradictory ? We should just as soon ,think of making a stoker to a steam-engine an Oxford Professor of Poetry ! The following is from the Chronicle :—" In the high opinion entertained by all Liberal politicians of Lord Eliot's character we entirely concur. If all Tories thought like him, there would not be much to say against the party : if all acted with the integrity which he has invariably displayed with respect to Irish affairs, the rule of the Tories would be no great calamity to Ireland. But it is precisely because we think him the best man of his party that we think his appointment was the very worst. He has not the independence of his party that violent partisans enjoy. He cannot act liberally in reli ance on the confidence of bigots. He goes to Ireland with his Irish policy an object of peculiar suspicion in the eyes of, all the Irish supporters of the Ad ministration of which he is a member : He must have found by this time that he has not yet succeeded in winning from O'Connell the confidence of the Irish people ; and he must surmise that it will take him many a day to do so. Not trusted by the Irish people, he can only fall back on the Orangemen. He must earn their favour by his acts ; he must show that he has not those dangerous Liberal tendencies of which he is suspected." —Lord Eliot is placed just now in a false position, and the time is not far distant when he will find out his mis take in accepting the delicate office of Irish Secretary to an avowedly Orange Government. At present, he is looked on with a wary, distrustful eye both by Tory and Liberal, and cannot stir a step, either to the right or left, without giving cause of offence. We subjoin some observations from the Dublin Evening Post on Earl De Grey's system of policy : " With respect to his officials, from his Secretary down —his agents, and, above all, his press, this Nobleman, we repeat it, is most unfortunate. Mystified and cajoled by those around him, he speedily became their tool, while, poor simple gentleman, he thought he was acting the master. Vowing and promising, and almost swear ing, either with his own proper lips, or vicariously through the delicate organs of his poor Secretary, that his administration in Ireland should be a pattern article, one of his first steps was the appointment of one of the most notorious and offensive partisans in the kingdom to the office of Confidential Adviser. From that moment the difficulties of Lord De Grey commenced." The following remarks appear in the Cambrian : " Two principles at the present moment are agitating the country, namely, the principle of Conservatism and that of Progress. If the former should triumph, the people, bowed down by the iron hand of monopoly and feudality, exhausted, like an inorganic material mass, for the profit and pleasure of the few, have no other hope, as it appears to us, than to sink down into the condition of the Chinese, or to bury beneath the grave the burden of their wretchedness." Speeking of the necessity of union among the people, the Bolton Free Press says' —" The people have good reason to be jealous of the middle classes, but they may carry this jealousy too far. It is only by gradual ad vances that an effectual union of our divided political parties is to be obtained. If the fair, and perhaps, at first, only partial overtures, of a portion of the middle classes, are to be scornfully rejected by the people, that union in which our common strength consists will be impossible. And, let it be remembered that there must be two parties to the grand desideratum of a Political Union, which is to tell on our monopolising, aristocrati cal Legislature." The Dundee Chronicle remarks, with reference to the recent spread of incendiarism—" Whilst these fires are embarrassing the Government, the Government is em barrassing the people. The people are becoming more restless and discontented, and, we may add, disaffected towards the Government. Even men who supported the Tories at the late election, are tired of waiting for the benefits expected from the Tory Ministry. It is easy, during strong party excitement, to shout for the Tories ; but that excitement which prevailed during the election has passed away, and the badness of times, coupled with the dearness of food, and restrictions on trade, have brought them to their senses." The Somerset County Chronicle observes, in an article on the state of parties—" The Tories, as a party, were destroyed by the Reform Bill. The Whigs, as a party, have now ceased to exist. Far be it from us to assert, as some of our readers appear to have understood it, that Whig principhs are destroyed ; we maintain only that the Whigs, as a separate and defined party in the State, are no more. Upon the ruins of the old parties of Whig and Tory two new parties have arisen, and are in daily. nay, hourly progress.of formation, and in them all minor shades of difference must ere long be merged ; they are, Conservative and Radical—the former advocating good government for the people, the latter government by the people." MONEY—TR.A.AIC—COMMERCE. The Gosport branch of the London and South Wes tern Railway was opened on Saturday last. At the din ner given on the occasion, it was stated that the journey from Gosport to London could now be performed in three hours and a half, and that 15,000' persons on one side the harbour, and 60,090 on the other, would be be nefitted by the railway in their trade and commerce. The trades of Glasgow held a meeting in the City Hall, in reference to the strike of the masons at the Houses of Parliament, last Tuesday. The conduct of Allen was severely reprobated, and a committee ap pointed to watch over the interests of the operative classes, to be convened when requisite. At Bristol, within the last few weeks, several hundred hands have been discharged from the yards of the ship builders, engineers, glass-works, and other factories. One large house in the glass trade has its warehouse full of goods, upon which duty to the amount of 20,0001. has been paid, but can find no outlet for them. Another house in the same trade has stopped altogether twelve weeks, but they still pay the men half wages, The shipping trade, too, of the port was never known in so deplorable a-state. STATISTICS. The expatriation caused by the Corn-laws will be evident from the subjoined figures. From 1821 to 1831 the number of emigrants was 209,230, or 20,923 per annum: from 1832 to 1839 (both inclusive) the number was 529,247 or 66,155 per annum, an increase of more than 3to 1. But the latest and worst return was in the last year 1840. which showed the enormous nnmber of 87,346, or nearly one-fifth of the whole increase of the population during that period. ECCLESLAS TICAL. Distress warrants were last week issued against a number of the inhabitants of "Westbury, Wilts, for re fusing to pay Church-rates, and the articles seized were to be sold at the Lopez Arms Inn, on Saturday. Among others were a small copper saucepan, a tea-kettle, a great coat, and a family Bible. " Who stole the Bible ? " should be the cry of the Wiltshire Dissenters. On Wednesday the Presbytery of Edinburgh made long harangues on the case of Mr. Grant, minister of South Leith parish, charged by the Non-intrusionists with the offence of receiving " the bread and wine pre tended to be consecrated " from the hands of a deposed Strathbogie minister. By a majority of 31 to 12 the Presbytery appointed a committee to deal with Mr. Grant. The minority dissented, and appealed to the Synod, and Mr. Grant at the same time intimated that had the committee been appointed, he would not have submitted to their authority. " War to the knife " is now the watchword on both sides. Mr. Sibthorp's conversion was gradual. As soon as his opinions began to receive a tinge of the Tractarian school, his sermons by degrees became less and less evan gelical, till he, one by one, adopted the decorations re commended by the Oxford school of choristers, robed in white, used incense, massive candles, bells, &c. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Major-General John Grey, C. 8., is stated to have been appointed to the command of the forces in Cabul. At Seringapatam he received a medal for his services in the siege and storming party. He signalized himself in the Peninsular war, and was twice wounded at Cuidad Rodrigo. The 98th Regiment, consisting of 27 officers and 1,074 men, is now assembled at Plymouth from Dublin. EVENING - SUN 3 LAW AND POLICE. Henry Butters, who was imprisoned in the gaol of Edinburgh for twenty days, for selling "sweeties" on Sunday, has brought an action against the Committing Magistrate for false imprisonment. The case will be tried in the Court of Session on Monday next. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. It is suggested that the best way of disposing of the fuzed gun metal of the Tower would be to convert it into medals, crosses, and vases, to be given to the soldiers of every grade now alive who have served in the Pe ninsula. SPORTING. The next Ascot Cup is to be the work of Mr. Cotte rill, and the subject chosen by him is the " Wilde Jager" of the German poet Burger, which Sir W. Scott has translated.
