The assumption that a large scheme of em igration is to b e adopted by Tories who the -, stren uously deny th a t the Corn-laws cause the present distress, in order to remedy that distress; and the view o f t h e Tories is practically sup payors ted by the Ch ron i c l e. Our Contemporary s : But tile great and immediate benefit produced in this country by emigration arises f rom i ts ra i s i ng up new communities of customer s out of the superfluous popula tion that hung before as a burthcn on our hands. The untrodden forest, the coast unvisited by trade, are thus made to furnish new marts to our manufactures, and new outlets to our trade. A civilised and kindred race, having the same habits and wants as ourselves, is thus placed in circumstan ce r, which enable it to supply its own wants by furnisliin,,,, a demand for our industry. On the coast of New 11 4 and, where the lowest ra ce o f naked savages for mer l y fed on grubs, and stared at a spade, a large nod thriving population now exports a sure supply of the material of our manufactures, and takes in return the largest proportionate amount of the entire consumption of the wares of Sheffield and Binning ham, and the fabrics of Leeds and Manchester. If emigration is to produce the immediate benefit of raising up new communities of cus tomers, and if such communities are to take great quantities of manufactured goods from Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, and Manchester, emigration must be a panacea for our distress ; and the late Ministry acted erroneously by pro posing petty measures of commercial reform, when, on the showing of the Chronicle, they ought to have proposed—as the Tories mean, it is said, to propose—a large scheme of emigration. The arguments of the Chronicle cut away from the Corn-law repealers all the ground on which they have hitherto stood, and substantially con cede to the Tories that the Corn-laws do not cause the distress of which the, people complain. Throughout the controversy on the Corn-laws, the Tories have said, " Build up our own colonies, extend that trade which you can politi cally command, encourage emigration and the extension of your own dominion, and your people will be happy and your empire safe." A large scheme of emigration is suitable to their theories, and to this scheme and to those theories the Chronicle assents. All the advantages which are offered by emi gration, and many more, are offered by a free Lrade in corn. The acres of the United States woo the industry of our people ; the immediate benefit would arise, were the Corn-trade free, of new communities of customers demanding the produce of our manufactures : but all these ad vantages the Tories, who propose to ship off the people to New Zealand or New South Wales, will not allow them to enjoy, because they would then escape from the control of the aris tocracy, both at home and abroad. Those who freely went to the United States would no longer be the slaves of the landlords; 'they would pay no tithes, and do no homage to Bishops; and those who got wealth in England by a free trade with the republicans of America, would soon find much more evidence• than the existence of the Corn laws that the privileges of the aristocracy are injurious to the national welfare. But, by not allowing a free trade to America, and by sending off the people to the colonies, where there are numberless posts for the connections of the aristocracy, and where the hierarchy flourish in lordly magnificence, the people are continued in subjection, and the power of the aristocracy may be preserved. We are not surprised, therefore, that the Tories like the emigration scheme ; but be cause they like it, and because it would, at least, stave off repeal of the Corn-laws till emigration had been tried, the Liberals should now strenu ously oppose it. When are the Whigs to learn practical wisdom ? They are nothing, and can prevail in nothing, without the help of the people; yet they foolishly cast away their sup port by carrying out a theoretical conclusion concerning the poor, for the behoof of the land lords, with a severity that has made them unpo pular in every part of the country. The emi gration scheme is founded on a similar theore tical view of population, which certain Li berals would carry into effect without consulting the persons who are to be sent abroad. The people do not ask to be transported; they ask primarily for political rights in their own country, and secondly they ask for a free trade in bread and meat. Their prayers are met by the Liberal Chronicle with a scheme for sending them to till land at the antipodes, which they are never likely to own, for their scanty wages will not enable them to pay 20s. per acre. The worst part of the emigration scheme is that it will infallibly, like the new Poor-law, be looked on by the people as an injury to them, and they will look on the Liberal party which supports it, as more anxious to banish them than give them political rights in the land of their fathers. The terrible schism which still prevails amongst the middle and lower classes is further evidenced by what occurred at Birmingham on Monday, where the Chartists opposed the Anti- Corn-law party ; and a public meeting, to hear Mr. CURTIS, was, from beginning to end, a scene of violence and uproar. Amongst the cries were heard repeatedly, " Remember the Bull-ring ;" thus the fatal attack on the people, by Liberal Ma gistrates, acting under a Liberal Ministry, which we always deplored, now rebounds against the Li beral party, and the exasperated Chartists even refuse them a hearing. We state a fact; we do not excuse the conduct of the Chartists, which to us appears wholly unwarrantable and indefen sible. But so it is; their passions get the better of their reason, like the passions of other men, and they revenge now the injury done to them in 1839, by opposing the wishes of the party then in power. All Liberal politicians, all who side with freedom against restriction and oppression, should now endeavour to reconcile these classes, and make the working men forget the neglect and the in juries they have experienced at the hands of those who attained power by their means. When that is so desirable it is inflicting, we think, a serious injury on the Liberal cause, for a Liberal journal to advocate the supposed Tory scheme of transporting a multitude of the people, in order to relieve the present distress, and to put an end to agitation for free trade and political rights. To defend a great scheme of emigration, which is unasked by the people, is to break up and sacri fice the Liberal party to a theory of population, which experience has shown to be unfbunded in fact. The meeting of the friends of free-trade at Sheffield on Monday—elsewhere noticed—pre sents a favourable contrast to the meeting of the Anti-Corn-law party at Birmingham on the same day. At Sheffield all was order and decorum, and resolutions favourable to free trade were unanimously carried. At Birmingham all was riot and disorder, and no person who attempted to address the meeting—be his party what it might—could obtain a hearing. Accordingly the Birmingham meeting is a general theme for ridicule or sarcasm ; while the Sheffield meeting is honoured by its friends, and respected by its opponents. We are told, however, by a Corre spondent, that the men of Birmingham will speedily redeem themselves, and stand forth worthy of their former tame—the most energetic champions of order and freedom. For the unseemly proceedings on Monday we cannot imagine an excuse. Such co n d uc t b r i ngs public meetings into disrepute, and, depriving public opinion of all weight, leaves no alterna tive but a despotic Government. If the Bir mingham Chartists have no regard for them selves, they ought to respect the wants of the • Paisley - weavers, and of the suffering multitudes at Bolton, Stockport, and other places, and de band with a voice of thunder that the bread of the people be untaxed. Till the Chartists gene. rally do that, they will be held in a great measure responsible—after the ar istocracy —for the misery which is inflicted on the people. The letter read at the Sheffield meeting from Mr. WORTL EY i s worthy of notice. The Hon. Gentleman implies that the present Ministers are not indisposed to review the whole question of the import duties, though they are not likely to agree with the gentlemen assembled at Shef field. Perhaps Mr. WORTLEY is not good autho rity for the intentions of the Cabinet. If he were, we should say that the Ministers arc in all things imitating, but in a most humble and awk ward manner, the gentlemen they so recently displaced. The M01'122729 Post says : " Instead of attempting to show how the Corn-law is injurious to the interests of the productive industry o f the people, the bold bad writers against the law as sume and assert that it is a wicked and tyrannous law, and come to the conclusion that it is a law which ought not to be obeyed, but resisted ! Such opposition to the law as this ought to be punished." The impudence and arrogance of this para graph are on a par. If one point has been better proved than another by facts and theo ries—by arguments repeated to satiety—it is that the C orn -l aw i s i n j u rious to the pro ductive industry of the people. It blows mit the furnace in Wales; it arrests the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOITEIBER - 18, 1841. motion of the shuttle in Manchester ; it stops the hammer at Sheffield; it keeps ships rotting at anchor at Liverpool; and while it thus puts an end to a whole multitude of occupations, it actually staives those who are engaged in them. Such facts have been proved, over and over again, years ago ; but the Post, not having entered into the controversy till the case against the landed aristocracy had been made overwhelming, and being ignorant of all that had previously been done, assumes that its own ignorance is common to all the community. To arguments its patrons have replied by asserting that they " will have it so ;" facts they answer by threats; and now those who show that their mo tives are as sordid and base as the results of their conduct are mischievous, ought, it is said, to be punished. The Tories are sustained in power only by terror; they are the authors and patrons of penalties and punishments, and no man can be surprised that they are ready to have recourse to them to bolster up their falling cause. We anticipated, in The Sun of yesterday, the reports of the trial of QUENJSSET, in the Paris Journals of Tuesday. Other ne - Ws they contain none of much interest, save that the impression gains ground that Louts PIIILIPPE seriously meditates the overthrow of the Spanish Govern ment. In this nefarious design his MAJESTY, to the disgrace of the British press, is encouraged to the utmost by that tool of Royalty the Morning Post. It is, however, some conso lation to the people of England to know that the Post stands alone as the abettor of the trea sonable designs of the King of the FRENCH. None of the leading organs of Toryism espouse the side of the Post. Neither the Times nor the Herald can be brought to mount the tricolor in a crusade against the liberties of Spain. We in vite attention to the gross insult offered to the Spanish Government and nation in the following extract from the Post's first leading article of this morning : Let us suppose that the time-honoured Earl, who pre sides over a certain scientific society should, under the influence of some new theory of animal government, throw down the barriers which confine the tenants of the Zoological Gardens, and leave it to the• rhinoceros to keep in order his companions the bears and monkeys ? Under such circumstances would anybody be astonished if a certain Noble Marquis, the nearest neighbour, should send back their old keepers to control the beasts in their saturnalia, and draw up a cordon protecteur of armed servants to keep the danger at bay—shrewdly opining that if the gifted Earl lived in the Regent's Park instead of at Knowsley, he would have post poned the experiment. This suppositious apologue, however homely, exem plifies what Lord Palmerston much more elaborately effected in Spain, when he severed the last link of established hereditary Government, and let loose upon society the desperadoes of every extreme opinion to be guided by the brute force of Espartero and no less truly illustrates the measures which Louis Philippe had recourse to in his own defence. And still the latter is the course which has so violently moved the wrath of our Radical Contemporary who has vented his spite in accusations of family ambition on the part of Louis Philippe. We really know not whiCh most to be sur- prised at, the falsehood or the insolence of this illustration. But if the name LOUIS PHILIPPE be inserted in the place of the word of ESPAR TERO it will be passably correct. Had ESPAR , TERO received CHARLES X., flying from the ven geance of the French people, with open arms-, and provided for him apartments in the Palace of the Escurial—bad he allowed the Royal exile to hold a Court there of Carlist refugees to plot the downfal of the Government of July—had he supplied the leader of a body of French insurgents with 40,0001., and arms and stores, to raise the standard of revolt at Bayonne, Bourdeaux, and Toulouse—and had he, in the event of the failure of this infamous scheme, marched 50,000 men to the French frontier to establish a cordon sani taire preparatory to an invasion of France, then, indeed, what the Post calls a " supposititious apologue," would not be ill applied to him. But to whom does it really apply ? Have we not suf ficiently indicated ? Hear what the Tory 'Herald says in its first leader upon the subject : For ten years Europe believed the King of the French to be a profound and benevolent statesman; a conviction is now rapidly, though unwillingly, spreading that he is only a cunning and a selfish politician. The laurels which he won in preserving peace whilst his subjects were bellowing fur war his Spanish intrigues are rapidly rotting from his brow. _ _ ThC.:line of conduct lately pursued by Louis Philippe towards Spain is as disastrous towards his own power as it is to a good understanding between France and Eng land—if not to the peace of Europe. The present ha mersion of the French Court in Spanish intrigues— hateful to the people of the Peninsula—in dynastic po licy and in family compacts, finds little response in the feelings of the French nation; and if on the approach ing meeting of the French Chambers DL Guizot is ob liged to bend before the wrath of French Liberalism, the whirlwind will have been unloosened by his Monarch. But after all, the condemnation of the CITIZEN KING might have been left to the blundering writer in the Post. Take another extract : And first we will ask why was Christina driven from Spain, end her two children—girls, at the age most need ing maternal protection, given in pledge to her enemies— made over as passive political instruments to such gentle governesses as the "divine Arguelles," and the still more sublime Espartero—to be taught, perhaps, that to despise and hate a mother is the first study of those whose duty is to represent God's power on earth ? Was Christina banished because she deluged Spain with blood by * abusing her power over her bigot husband in his dotage—when, at the approach of his last agonies, she procured the vain sentence of abro gation of a fundamental law of the kingdom ? Or was it because she degraded the hallowed precincts of the Escurial by making " the funeral bake -meats serve forth the orgies of a degrading union ?" ! our Contemporaries apparently cordially approved these abominations, and the price of their com placency was radic a l concessions in the consti tution of the Government, which the degraded Queen conceded freely, in her first absorption by her unhallowed passions. But, as in the monkish chronicles, we are told that he who sells his soul for a temporary vantage to the evil one, will, at no distant clay, have both body and son!, and even life, claimed as the penalty of unhallowed good fortune—so did Christina find that her unnatural allies ultimately claimed from her the whole of that powe r by which she could effectually uphold the infant Queen and her kingdom. In a word, it was after flying from Madrid to the coast, and there refusing the last concession, one which would have placed lu:r at the mercy of each desperate party as it triumphed in its turn, that Christina was torn from her children, and forced to embark for another land. What enorndty was it, then, that Louis Philippe should give her an asylum ? How could he fail to reprobate, with his uttaost energy, a state of things in Spain, which, if imitated in France, might bring him from the throne to the block ; and, feeling thus, how could he otherwise than give fair chance of success to those who, in the name of Christina, would restore th e l as t semblance of constituted amthority and of legitimate power in the Bourbonic mime ? Si then, because the Spaniards rid their coun- try of a wc,man whom the Post represents as a monster of depravity, they are to be denounced as objects of regal distrust and abhorrence ! But then what becomes of the morality of the King of the FR;t;.NCII, who took to his bosom and con- , fidence, a woman so notoriously infamous'? Could Mx-rope regard as other than an enemy of morals 'mid social order the Prince who Would not scruple to replace such a woman at, the head of the Government of a nation, whom . the Post tells u s she scandalized by the flagitiousness of her crimes? The Post asks why she was not banished for her first and most flagrant offences? The Post is an indiscreet organ of the aristocracy, or it would never ask such a question, even by implicatiors. Were the people to assume the right ofbaui shing Sovereigns for theirprivate vices, GEORGE IN would never have reigned in Eng land, Lotrfs XVIII. would never have reigned in France, nor would FERDINAND VII. have figured as nlme crowned dupe of MARIA CHRISTINA. So long as -the Ex-Regent's crimes were of a pri vate nature the nation tolerated them ; but when she turned. the Palace into a Royal brothel —when hue bastard offspring crowded the apart ments of 13 me Infant Sovereign—and when it was discovered. that she bad formed. a conspiracy to overthrow the Constitution purchased by the blood of Spaniards, then, and not till then, did the Spanish people compel her to descend fi!om a station which she dis graced, an d to 'relinquish a power wh i ch s h e abused. this is the woma n whom the Post lauds Louis PHILIPPE for attempting, by "des picable ini z i gues and marriage huxterings," as the H era l d head of tli mi sguiding Post The Hao:P e J ournal mentions t ha t bli nd, e wellwell is p h h o ra o se v s ern it m , e t n o t I rep A la la c s e ! a p t o t o h r e , t : c Captain B urton, from Su n derland a for Rouen , was coal brig, Phca. Sunday night,, and tot a ll y driven ashore. oft' Havre, at th e Point des Neibcs, wrecked. A boy was lost, but the rest of the crew remained in the rigging till the morning, when a boat put off and fetched them, five in number, ashore. , One was so much injured that he died soon after. During the storm on the same night, as a Correspondent of Calais informs us, a French brig, from Cronstadt to Nantes, with a cargo of hides and tallow, was wrecked to the north-east of Calais, and.eyery soul on board perished: " The conferences," says the Ministerial evening journal, " have been resumed at the Ministry of Foreign affairs between the French Commissioners and the Bel gian Commissioners. The French Government has ap pointed as its Commissioners the Baron Deffaudis, Mi nister Plenipotentiary, formerly Director at the 'Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and M. Magnier de Maisonneuve, Councillor of State, Member of the Chamber of De puties, and Director at the Ministry of Commerce. The Belgian Government is represented by Count Lehon, its Minister Plenipotentiary, The different statements on this subject which have been given by several journals are incorrect." The Gazette de France publishes the following extra vagant assertion :—" We can affirm that Admira Stop ford declared while at Malta that if the French fleet had been stationed on the coast of Syria he should have been obliged to abstain entirely from taking an active part, as he was not authorised to fire a single shot in the pre sence of the French ships. ' They make me,' added he, a second Nelson ; they talk in the papers of giving me the title of Duke of St. Jean d'Acre ; but all my glory comes from the retreat of the French fleet.' " Such a tissue of absurdity has rarely appeared, even in the Gazette. The Arnhenische Courant gives the following, as the principal points of the Constitution intended for the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg. " There is," says this Journal, to be a Chamber of Deputies elected by per sons duly qualified, but the sittings are not to be public. The members are to be repaid their travelling expenses from their homes; according to the distance. The Ses sions aro to be opened by the King Grand Duke, and are to last a fortnight. The - King is to have the power of dissolving the Chamber, and convening a new one, and may be represented for the Duchy by a delegate, to be chosen from the Royal Family, and who is to reside in Luxemburg." An immense quantity of Roman coins have just been found at Rennes, where some excavations are malting in the bed of the river for new quays. One hole that was made produced upwards of a bushel of ct.ppor coins. There are many of the reign of Tiberius. M. de Briqueville has been elected to the Chamber of Deputies for Cherbourg. He had 275 votes'', and the Ministerial candidate, M. Quenault, 246. The Bishop of Beauvais, whose death we have an-, nounced, was the Abbe•Colhret, formerly editor of the Gazette de France. • A letter from Brignolles, in the Semaphore of Mar seilles, mentions an accident, which might have been fatal to a magistrate in that part of the country, not long since. Ho was going in a cabriolet to Artignocs, and had to pass over a bridge, which was only 10 feet wide without parapets, and was thrown over a ravine nearly 30 feet deep, with a torrent, at the bottom. His horse shyed at the glittering of some water while going over the bridge, and fell with the cabriolet and his master into the stream below. The animal was killed on the spot, but the gentleman contrived to get out of the water, and to hold on by some rocks. Fortunately, another person, who was coming along the same road, heard the noise of the fall, became aware of the accident, and, having summoned the neighbouring peasants, suc ceeded in rescuing the magistrate from his dangerous position. The Augsburg Gazette still endeavours to alarm France respecting the health of Herry- of Bourbon, and the frequenters of the Palace every where repeat this pre tended news. We know in the most positive manner that the Prince has not met with any accident, and the repose to which he is condemned is only a measure of prudence. Two armies are marching to the North and to the South, to overturn or to protect the two revolutions which have been produced by ours. Leopold will be aided by our troops; Espartero will be threatened. It seems that the warlike impulse is given this time by the Napoleon of Peace. The dread of a republic on one hand, and the desire of obtaining for the Duke of Aumale the three hundred millions of Christina on the other, are the two moving powers of the policy of the moment.—Gazette de France. We have the following letter from Toulon of the 11th November : "For some days past there is a degree of activity in our road, which under the present circumstances sur prises us. " We have announced the sudden departure of several vessels, two:of them ships of the line. Yesterday the Medea frigate also left the port, end it is said that the Trident and Marengo of the line have received orders to prepare to put to sea. The Marengo has landed its 36-pounders, in order to be able to take more men on board, which clearly shows that it is going to receive troops, but it is only to Africa that it can go to fetch them. It is then intended to reduce our army of occupation, in order to increase the army of observation, which is to be formed on the rrontiers of the Pyrenees? . . . P.S. We are this moment informed that the Diademe of the line, Captain Tronde, and the Andromede and Alinerve, which are under quarantine, hare just received orders to be ready to put to sea. All the resources of the port are placed at the disposal of these three ships, which are in great haste.—Commerce. We are requested to make known the following act of justice of the King of Prussia :—" It is notorious that, in conformity with a policy adopted •during the last war in Poland, the German Journals have not ceased to re peat that General Uininski, a prisoner of state at Glogau, was upon parole, and that he violated it, by leaving and taking an active part in the war against the Russians. The General did not fail to refute this assertion, which was an attack upon his honour, by positive proofs; but the hattrel against him was not disarmed, and one of the principal ma gistrates of Prussia went so far as to repeat the accusation in an official letter. The General did not hesitate a moment to make his complaint to the King of Prussia direct, and to supplicate him to become his judge in an affair which affected his honour so closely. The King ordered all the documents connected with the residence of the General at Glogan to be presented to him, and, after having examined them himself, he decided that the accusation against hitn was unfounded, and gave orders that the result of his inquiry should be communicated to the General. Thus, by a truly royal act of equi y, is an end put to a calumny which has existed for ten years. The well-known Hotel des Trois ibis, at Basle, has just been sold for 260,000 1. The purchaser int e nd s to pull it down, and to erect a new and splendid building, to bo called the Hotel .Baur, in its place. This specula tion has been entered upon in the expectation that the Strasburg railroad will, ere lung, bo completed up to the town. An extraordinary suicide lately took place in the forest of Argues, near Dieppe A young man had been seen for some days wandering on the borders of the forest, and as it was supposed that he was a criminal concealing himself from justice, the gendarmes went in search of him, but he was not to be found. A few days ago, however, he was discovered by some sportsmen hanging from the branch of a tree at only a few paces from the road. There was found upon him a memoran dum book with the words " Augustus Renard " written in it, which is supposed to have been his name. The medical man who examined the body declared that before the man hanged himself he had nearly starved himself to death. A circular order has been issued by the Danish Go vernment, directing t,he of districts to discover whether secret associations of workmen exist in their lo calities, and to report upon them. It is stated in the circular that the Government, in concert with those of the neighbouring States, has agreed to make mutual de nunciations of all such associations in their respective territories.

DEPRECIATION OF TIIE COlN.—it was mentioned yesterday in the Herald, that of late large imports of sovereigns have taken place, which are mostly light, and which the Bank of England and the tax•gatherers re ject. We understand that the loss of weight, or depre ciation of this coin, amo unts to nearly 5 per cent., which makes Banknotes by that amount more valuable than the quantity of this coin they represent. If a man have a good stock of these light sovereigns, and can, in the c ourse of trade, exc h ange them f or no t es , with these n o t es h e can obta i n f rom th e B an k o f Eng land sovereigns of full weight ; and if he have fur chased the li g h t sovereigns by weight, and not received them by tale, he may make 5 per cent., or something less, by the t ransaction. Former l y B an k p a p er was de preciated ; now the gold coin is depreciated, and Bank paper is mor e va l uable than the co i n i t re p resen t s . Th e effectual cure f or such changes on e ith er s id e , i s t o make Bank -notes promise to pay not the coin of the realm, Si. or 10/. sterling, but one, two, three, five, or a hundred ounces of gold. It has sometimes occurred to us that individuals, without transgressing on any law, might issue small notes to pay on demand aliquot parts of the preci ous metals, to the great advantage Of them selves and the public.

The King of Hanover has issued a Royal Ordinance, convoking the States of the Kingdom in conformity with the provisions of what he calls the Constitution of the 6th of August. As, however, the popular representa tives still decline to acknowledge this mock Constitution, Von Schele and his Majesty have concocted between them the following form of declaration, which every Deputy is hence forth to be compelled to accept . and strictly adhere to :—Having been named Deputy. of the Second Chamber of the Assembly General of the States of the Kingdom of Hanover, conformably to the funda mental law of August 6, 1840, I accept that election, and declare on my honour and my conscience that I consider as alone obligatory, with regard to the accomplishment ofmy election as Deputy, the Cmstitution'of the 6th of August, 1840, according to which the General Assembly of the States has been convoked. I therefore consider as un constitutional any attempt to embarrass or arrest the ac tion of either one or other of the two Chambers, as re gulated by the said Constitution of August 6, 1840, and I will never give my assistance to any attempt of the kind." The noble stand which the Hanoverians have made against King Ernest's tyranny, authorises the indulgence of a hope that their representatives will spurn with con tempt and indignation this new device of the oppressor. But the Deputies of Hanover are not the only persons whom the King means to gag. The Swabian Mercury tells us " that the Hanoverian Cabinet has addressed a circular to all public functionaries, desiring them to ab stain from all political conversation in society, and to in form the Government of any of their colleagues who do so. This (it says) is to prevent any opposition from being got up during the elections." So the King wishes to degrade all the Magistrates of the kingdom to the servile condition of tools and spies o f th e C our t 1 T o prevent them talking politics, why does he not at once propose to reduce them to the con di t i on o f t h e mutes who guard the antichambers of the Sultan's palace Letters from Constantinople of the 27th ult. state, that the Viceroy of Egypt had remitted 50,000 dollars as another installment of the tribute to the Porte. This speaks well fur the pacific intentions of Mehemet Ali. The Echo de 1' Orient, the Ottoman organ, of the 29th, has the following curious article, which affords some explanation of certain statements current as to the want of attention paid to the French Ambassador on taking his leave of the Sultan :—" When his Excellency, the French Ambassador, had his audience of absence, his Highness showed him the most gra cious attention, which highly pleased the Ambassador. Nevertheless, before his introduction to the Sultan, the customary ceremony not having been scrupulously ac complished, in consequence of the empressement shown on his reception, his Highness, desirous to avoid all that might cool the friendly relations since so long existing between France and the Porte, and wishing to prove to M. de Pontois the consideration he felt for him, sent to the French Embassy the First Interpreter of the Divan, his Excellency Sapfeti Effendi, to assure the French Am bassador that the omission took place through mere inad vertence."—The omission here complained of, was that of not presenting pipes to M. de Pontois, as had been done to Lord Ponsonby. Diplomatic people are never so great as when discussing trifles. Great activity again prevails in the French dock yards, and several ships of the line are being fitted out for sea. We have little doubt that they are intended for the coast of Spain, and therefore we cannot too strongly impress upon the Admiralty the importance of sending some stout vessels to observe their movements. The Madrid mail of the 9th reached Paris at a late hour on Tuesday afternoon. We regret to state that Lieutenants Boria and Gobernado were shot in the capi tal on that day, and that Captain Fulgosio was to be the next victim for the Christino attempt of the 7th of Oct. PUBLXC OPXNZON. The Chronicle observes, in answer to a leading article that appeared in the Times of yesterday—" Hypocrisy and cant have been systematically employed by Toryism as instruments of political warfare, Hence so much of the alleged progress of ' false moral principles' as may actually have been made in the country. People are in no real danger of being misled by tale or drama into deeds which bring their necks is ithin peril of the halter. They are much more likely to be corrupted by the unimpeachable vice that is hailed with plaudits by a party, and wins its prosperous way in the world. If the substitution of one pamphlet for another makes a hit in Parliamentary debate, is loudly cheered by honourable gentlemen, and con tinues to be praised and echoed even after the de tection, that tends to promote false moral principles.' If electors are cajoled out of their votes by deceitful professions, and their integrity broken down by bribes, and their suffrages commanded as a property; and the triumphant doers of all this wrong are extolled for their successes—this tends to promote false moral prin ciples.' "—This is justly and forcibly put by the Chro nicle. The triumph of Toryism is, indeed, the triumph of cant—the triumph of conventional respectability— that is to say, of the show rather than the. substance— of the appearance of respectability, rather than the thing itself. It is not the Reformers who inculcate "false moral principles," but their sworn opponents, the Tories. These are the men who trade on cant and trickery, and thrive by appealing to the weaknesves and the prejudices of the people. The Post says—" The great object of the civil gover nors of a populous kingdom should be to encourage, and therefore to protect, profitable industry—not industry in this or that department, for which it may be supposed the country affords the greatest amount of natural faci lity, but all branches of industry. If any profitable branch can be introduced over and above those branches for which the country affords natural facilities, great is the merit of the introducer. If any nation be dependent upon foreign countries for any commodity of general use, and tending to general comfort, the Government which, by judicious encouragement and protections, enables that nation to produce for itself the commodity which f'or 'merly it had to obtain from abroad, deserves the praise of a wise, an able, and a patriotic Government."— We agree with the Post that the great object of Minis ters should be to encourage and protect profitablein dustry; but do they so? Assuredly not; on the contrary they throw every obstacle in tho,way of industry; they hamper it with vexatious restrictions; they manacle its legs, and then say " walk;" they tie its arms behind its back, and then say " work !" Indeed it seems the chief object of their policy to make industry as little profitable as possible. Trade—commerce—industry, in its every form and shape—all are ruthlessly sacrificed to mono poly, because the monopolists happen to have power on their side, while their opponents have nothing but jus tice and common-sense to recommend their cause. The Heron remarks, in allusion to the character and tendency of the Puseyite doctrines—" Puseyism, like the Papal policy, concedes all things to all men to meet the exigencies of a present purpose. It abandons not an iota of its propositi ons , i n su b sequent l y carry i ng out the extensive scheme of its organic innovations. There is little resulting difference between the infallibility boldly challenged for itself by the Romish Church, and the in herent fallibility imputed, almost contemptuously' as a Protestant divine has well observed, by Puseyism to the established Protestant Church of this country. Either pretension,—the claim of the one, or the demur rer of the other—if well founded, is equally fatal to the purity of the creed, the antiquity of the discipline, the legitimacy of the episcopal succession, the prescription of the rights,—or the constitutional and national cha racter of the true, existing, ANGLICAN Church."— 'The besetting defect of Toryism is, that it denies the claims of man to the character of a thinking being. Its main object is to keep his mind in leading-strings ; to treat him as though he were a child ; to build up a wall around hini, beyond which he shall not pretaime to pass. It is the legitimate offspring—fashioned, however, accord ing to the altered tone of the times—of that spirit of bigotry which instituted the Inquisition, and kept Catho lic Europe in darkness for centuries. Dissent is of a far nobler character. Whither right or wrong in some of its tenets, it is at least a struggle for freedom of thought, an attempt to rescue the human mind from the galling chains flung round it by bigoted and intolerant High Churchmen We quote the following from the Times :—" Although we cannot wonder that Mr. Sharman Crawford, and other respectable Irishmen, welhwishers to their coun try, should feel indignation when they see the Chief Magistrate of Dublin coquetting with treason in the Corn-Exchange, and boasting of the American succours whom he can at a fortnight's notice import into Ireland, we think the patriotism of these honest men greatly mag nifies the mischief which they expose. Upon this side of the Ch:.nnel the performances of Daniel O'Connell and his dupes have become merely ridiculous, and fail to command public attention, even when they are most magniloquent, and when there is the greatest dearth of ordinary topics of interest. As for their raising appre hension m the mind of any well-informed Englishman, we should as soon expect to hear of the Duke of Welling ton and Sir Robert Peel quaking before the exterminating edicts of the Emperor of China." The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to Sir Robert Peel's Irish policy :—" We all know the real value of Orange support in Ireland. Sir Robert Peel well knows that the ' vagabonds' once destroyed his Administra tion; and Sir Henry Hardinge has avowed, that he would sooner lose his only arm, than attempt to govern this country through a faction so overbearing, yet so power less. But it is the policy of the Tory Government, to proceed to extremes against the popular party, and, therefore, the Orange faction, hateful and puerile as it is, are adopted as the most fitting instruments of the Executive." Speaking of' the birth of the Prince of Wales, the Cheltenham Examiner remarks :—" Our congratulation is not without its measure of alloy. We are sorry her Ma jesty has been so ill-timed in her favours ; the party which now surround her is not the one to which we would confide the education of a Prince, destined perhaps some fifty years hence to preside over our councils. If the Tories are luggin g behind the spirit of the present day, how can they legislate for the succeeding generation." The York Courant ob.:erves, in reference to the alarm ing increase of incendiary fires :—" But there is a quarter to which these beacon fires ought to speak with a voice of solemn warning. What must be the thought of the continuance of the tranquillity of that country where such things as these are matters of daily occur rence I Does it not indicate that some deep and secret discontent is brooding, of which, like the fitful flashing of the volcano, these are but the forerunners of the overwhelming eruption which is about to follow ? Yet still with all these serious portents, supineness and pro crastination is the established principle of policy acted upon by our new governors." I N ZONLY - TRAIDZ-COILVIIVIERCE. Java Tea is now selling in Holland at the same prices as Chinese tea, which is expected to be wholly super seded by it in the market. Another adjourned meeting of the masons and dele gates of the Trades' Societies of the metropolis was Meld yesterday at the Craven llead, Drury-lane. It was asserted that Grissell and Peto were backed by some party, and that was believed to be thd Government. There were now 230 men on strike, receiving twelve shillings per week, who were for the most part sup ported by the 4,000 masons in work. The accounts from the manufacturing districts are of a most gloomy description, without any prospect of im provement for the winter. LXTERAELY AND SCIENTIPIC.

The two Paccards not having been able to pro cure bail, were sent to Newgate. SPORTING. A large flight of dotterels, accompanied by a flock of golden plover, were on Monday last observed upon the downs near Amesbury. The farmers of the neighbour hood say that when these rare birds are seen in their sheep-walks at this season of the year, an early and rigorous winter is certain. The anglers (says the Kelso Mail) during the .last eight days have assailed the Tweed in fine order. The Duke of Roxburgh° has fished the Kelso water, and taken from 12 to 17 salmon daily. Sir C. Dalbiac has had good sport in the Sprouston water. The Birgham water was fished by Captain Hudson, the Duke of Leeds, Lord John Scott, &c. Lord Bentinck, the Earl of HardWicke, Lord Ossulston, General Carfrae, &c., have all been engaged in this excellent sport, which has now finished for the season. COURT—PASH ONA/3 LE.

In addition to the other: causes which are acting upon the Money Market, such..as the dullness of trade, causing parties to fall back upon' their private or reserved funds, the want of confidence, and the high rate of discounts, another circumstance is on the tapis calculated to tighten it still more. We allude to the reports current in I.
