The extent to which bribery has been carried at the last election has induced a number of Whigs to question the advantage which the country would derive from the further extension of the suffrage. Among the many misfortunes of the poor it is not among the least aggravating that they are perpetually punished for the crimes of the rich. The poor mart does not bribe—he does not abuse the gifts of GOD to blacken his neighbour's sour with the guilt of perjury—he does not, to procure notoriety for himself as the representative of others, trample upon the known and recorded laws of GOD and of his country ; but because the wealthy and the titled scruple not to commit these crimes, he is to have no share in the enacting of the laws by which he is to be governed, taxed, and perhaps ruined for the exclusive profit of the law-makers. To keep the rich and the intentionally corrupt, not morally- but legally guiltless, be is to be deprived of the only right of citizenship by which he can contribute to the enactment and just administration of those laws which he con siders essential to the welfare of his country. The offence of the poor recipient of a bribe is venal, when contrasted with the enormous crime of which the wealthy briber is guilty. Between the two individuals there is the same difference as between the old serpent and our first parents. The Olie is the tempter, the other the tempted. The wealthy briber is a volunteer in the service of the father of lies. He devotes his substance to the moral and religious corruption of a fellow creature, whose poverty renders the temptation, which he would otherwise ha'e spurned, irre sistible. As well might we cut off the hands of the poor because the rich might employ them in acts of violence, or cut out their tongues be cause they might be bribed to tell lies, as to deprive them of civil rights as a preventive of all abuse of them. _But suppoing, for argument's sake, the cri inplity of the bribers and ti c bribed to be equal, wherefore net mete out to them the same punishment? If the poor wan is not to have a vote because he may be bribed, why not deprive the :kit man of the suffrage, who is suspected of an inclination to bribe him? Ts the man capable of bribing another less to.he dreaded than the poor wretch who pockets the wages of perjury Is he a jot more trustworthy as a chive. , or a legilator ? Most essuredly not. If, then, a sense o f justice actuates the Whigs, who regard with the extension of the suffrage, let them str ileel at the root of the evil. We will not only believe them sincere, hut we will co-operate 'with these, if they will begin with insisting upon the z_ii6fl'ancitisement of every Whig and Tor,- l an dl or d in the United Kingdom, who was gth ili y of bribery at the last ele t.uii. We have no objection to follow this measure up with the disfranchisement of every elector who received a bribe. But we are f or punish ing "'e greatest criminal:; first. In this way SOlrle ap proach will be m a d e t o equa l to all parties. But in doing this we would co nfine the punishment to the neiitJ r-l'ase a poor man the right of voting becau . se there is some null man in his neighbour hood sapposed vile enough to attempt to corrupt him, is an act of as gross injustice as to strip the rich man of his wealth, under the pretext of o• any. part of it in preventing him from ex bribery. pendin, We have no mo re cause to rob the poor man of his political rights to keep the rich man honest, than we have to deprive the rich man of his wealth to save the poor man's soul front the possible guilt of perjury. One of the most foul and atrocious maxims dis;: ever broach4l by the Vi hias, was that which con tended. for th e soun d pol i cy of b eat i n the Tories with their chief weapon — corrupt i on . IC was the commencement of a crusade of the rank and wealth of the coun t y again:3f the honesty and patC,otisin of the industrials classes. It ITL S brie: 7,ing all that society deemed great, and • powerful, and commandiu in the nation to ben:: down and crush every principle of pub lic, virtue hi the minds of the people. Against a wi:!ked combination no people could prc,;erve their interity ; and should this maxim ev; r: come to be generally acted upon pub:ic lib,?rty will not long outlive the which it will then receive. Society must fall to pieces, and a revolution in the Government visit %upon a corrupt aristo- cracy all the dreadful consequences of those crimes by which they sapped its deepest founda tions. It is the true interest of the aristocracy to exLend and purify the franchise. It is the duty of the Whigs ; if they value the Constitution under which we live, to protect the people against the corrupt influence of the Tories. The fran chi6e is the basis of public liberty. The wider it the more security is given to all the institu- toe X f.:07: ?ilt ,7,.ov'er 7 lrlet on the part of the few can justify the withholding political . rights from the many. The rich aristo crat who would deny the electoral suffrage to. an artisan or a labourer, ought to be able to say to him, "In what way could your condition in life be better than it is ? We, who govern you, have provided for you an abundance of em ployineut, and a ready remunerating market for the proceeds of your industry. By a moderate share of foil, and a proper attention to economy, you can support yourself and your family de- cently, comfortably, and independently. There are schools in abundance, for the education of your children, where good 'morals are instilled into their minds without any attempt 'to unsettle their peculiar religious principles by a aystem Of soul-kidnapping called proselytizing. You are coiled upon to support no institution by which you do not, more or less, benefit; you are taxed to maintain no church whose tenets you do not believe. We give you peace and plenty ; feeedom of body and mind ; we afford you the means of educating your children intel ligently and virtuously ; and we endeavour in all respects to set you a good example; for what, therefore, do you seek an extension of political rights'!" Can any of those who would oppose the extension of the suffrage in Great Britain address such language to the people ? Can they even, by any stretch of the imagination, point out in what way the condition of the bulk orthe working classes could be worse than it now is, bad the whole business of legislation been left to the most ignorant among them for the last quarter of a century ! Could they. be worse than without work, without food, without rai ment, without shelter, arid without hope of im provement? Could they, by any contrivance, have inflicted greater misery upon themselves than the combined wisdom of their Whig and Tory rulers has done 1 These are common sense views of this question, which those who claim the suffrage are quite capable of taking ; nor will any ridicule attempted to be cast upon them by the middle classes weaken their force in the least. Our Whig ,friends would do well to reflect upon them. To desert the people in their struggle for an extension of the franchise, would be, to borrow a metaphor from the late Lord CASTLEREAGH, to turn their backs upon them selver. Unless the people find sympathy from the classes now above them, and are brought by justice and kindness to amalgamate their influ ence with theirs, the time will come, and that quickly too, when, with their growing intelli gence, and their growing sense of estrangement, they will form a power in the State capable of controlling both the Crown and the aristocracy. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who has written so ably of the origin of the French Revolution, ought to have reflected upon this, before propounding to the country his finality doctrine. A tolerably long, and by no means a sprightly correspondence, respecting the operation of the commercial treaty with Turkey, ratified the 16th of August, 1838, has just been presented to the Houses of Parli'ment. It consists of the Reports of the Consuls and Vice-Consuls in Turkey, Syria, and Egypt, to the following three queries, addressed to them by Lord PALMER STON, through Lord PONSONBY, bearing date the the 16th of April, 1840, being about a year and eight months after the treaty first came into operation : 1. Whether the Treaty was carried completely into execution ; if not, in what respects not ? 2. Whether its operation was favourable to British trade ; if not, in what respects ? 3. How the Treaty operated on the trade of the subjects of Foreign Powers which had, and those which had not, concluded similar treaties ; and what advantage or disadvantage the working of the treaty had produced for British subjects as compared with the subjects of any foreign Power ? These queries are very carefully framed, with a view to obtain the greatest amount of informa tion. The answers are dated from the re°pective ' Consulates and Vice- Consulates, as follows : Alexandria, May 22 ; Bucharest, June 3 ; Con stantinople, August 23; Smyrna, August 16; Adrianople, July 20; Dardanelles, July 26 ; Salonica, June 16; Erzeroum, July 20; and Broussa, June 2, all in 1840. Except in Egypt, where MEHEMET ALT decidedly refused to ad mit the treaty, and in the prinCipalities of Wal lachia and Moldavia, where British traders were allowed greater advantages than the treaty gave them, the opposition made to the carrying the treaty into effect was far less than was generally expected. In most districts it encountered no opposition whatever; and where resistance was offered, it was merely to protect a monopoly in certain products, in which the Porte had granted to certain parties a vested interest. Generally speaking, these reports represent the treaty as working well, and as placing British merchants on an equality with the most favoured traders— those of Russia only excepted. Russia's pecu liar and extensive advantages arises from the old taeiff, which has not yet expired ; but when it has expired, the trade of Russia and that of other Powers will then be placed on an equal footing. Mr. CARTWRIGHT, the British Consul- General at Constantinople, concludes his report relative to the three questions of inquiry, as follows : With reference, therefore, to the concluding passage of the first inquiry, I am of opinion that the commercial convention has in its operation been favourabre - to British trade, though an immediate great visible effect may not ha expected. A release from the various exactions to which trade was subjected. and the establishment of fixed moderate rates of duty on imports, must have tended to increase the circulation of British manufac tures ; and if the local authorities in the intezior of the empire had not in all cases observed the stipulations with regard to internal duties on articles of Turkish pro duce, wt may hope that the Porte will proceed to enforce the execution of them. It is required to be stated, • od. How the treaty has operated on the trade of the subjects of other Powers which have concluded similar treaties, and those which have not. It may on the same grounds be admitted, that the Con vention has been proportionately beneficial to the trade of those Powers which have made similar stipulations. The subjects of those Governments which have not adopted them endeavour, by the means before stated, to procure the advantages conferred by the Convention, at the same time preserving those which they possess in virtue of their own treaties. More activity, or the ab sence of venality in the Turkish fiscal officers, would check the practice. The Russian traders, no doubt, ex perience advantage from the low rates of their tariff of duties for imports and exports, and they may be able to export at a lower charge those articles of produce on which the internal duties are not high ; but those. fa voured articles are few in number, and comparatively of little amount in the mass of export trade. The Russian Legation, it is expected, will soon resume the work of reforming their tariff ; and if it could be hoped that the stipulations of the commercial convention would also be adopted by Russia, we might trust that the few remaining Governments would not hesitate to conform to them. Those stipulations once generally ac knowledged, the execution of them would be facilitated, and• the Porte might be more strongly required to en force it. It is required to be stated, 3. What advantage the working of the treaty has produced for British subjects, as compared with the sub jects of any foreign Power. The Convention is acknowledged to have been bene ficial to British trade, and it would be a fair conclusion that British subjects have in an equal degree been bene fited by the working of it ; but, as it has been already stated, the trade between Great Britain and this port being ehie;y - in the hands of natives and other foreigners, the advantage can have been but proportionately enjoyed 7 British subjects. T 1) he native ILerchants, whether en irwing foreign protection or Ottoman privileges, have and advantages in their commercial arrange 's, 1:ot dependent on the effect of treaties, or the supoosal unfair means resorted to by them, which will continue to insure to the m the enjoyment of the greatest portion of the flritish trade in this port. Mr. BRANT, the British Consul at Smyrna, concludes his report in the following words :---- It is required to be stated, 2. Whether the operation of the treaty has been favourable to British trade ; and if not, in what respects it has been unfavourable? It having now been shown in what respects the ope ration of the treaty has been favourable to British trade, it may confidently and emphatically be asserted, that in no respect has it been unfavourable thereto. It is required to be stated, 3. How the treaty has operated on the trade of the subjects of other Powers which have concluded similar treaties; and its effects on the trade of the subject of those Powers which have not made similar treaties. With respect to the import trade, the subjects of those Inent THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1841. Powers which conehilvd similar treaties have partici wit!: :n .ii:, ti if th?. ICC:, , - )F _A.ai;J:ft rived thci . in the same ratio as our own ; and the treaties of thus, Powers which have not made similar treaties have been, and are, forced to obtain the protection of that treaty, by making use of the names of the subjects of those which have; for unless they had resorted to this subter fuge they could not have continued to carry on their import trade. Ta the export trade British subjects enjoy no greater advantages than the subjects of other Powers which have made similar treaties ; but the subjects of Russia (which is now the only Power having commercial rela tions with Turkey that has not concluded a similar tre.aty) pay from 1A- to 2 per cent. less duty on the exportation of produce than British subjects. But this difference in favour of the former is not a consequence of the conven tion of 1838 ; it arises from this fortuitous circumstance, that the old Russian tariff not having yet expired is still in force. An erroneous impression has been entertained, that by the convention of 1838 British subjects have beef; placed on a less favourable footing. with regard to the duties payable by them on goods exported than Russian subjects. The fallacy of this notion will be obvious when it is considered that the term of the former British tariff, calculated on an old and low valuation, having expired, while the Russian has not, an advantage must be en joyed :by Russian subjects until the tariff expire and be reformed ; but it wi;l then necessarily cease, as it is to be presumed that the rates of any new Russian tarii'l will be fixed on the same basis as those lately concluded between the Powers and the Porte. In Adrianople the treaty has operated unfa vourably, but Mr. it ERA, the British Consul there, regards that place as " an exception to most other places in Turkey." In the other districts from whence reports have been made all that can be said is, that according to their general tenor the treaty works well so far as it has been tried. But a great deal, or rather, indeed, nearly everything, must depend upon the local authori ties appointed by the PORTE to superintend the working of the treaty. Much. too, will depend upon our having proper men of business to act as ; Consuls and Vice-Consuls in the different corn- •, merciah pons of Turkey. It is clear that the • Turks themselves know little or nothing about commerce, and that they mest receive from the agents of Foreign Powers the knowledge re quisite to enable them to carry into effect the commercial treaties of their own Government. This shows the great importance of having no, one to represent British interests in Turkey, but persons of the greatest ability, and above all, men whose sound and liOeral decisions upon all disputed points shall hereafter reflect credit upon ' the British name. We ought not to seek profit by the ignorance of the Turks. To do so would be indeed a short-sighted policy. Better estab lish that claim to impartial justice to which, as a mercantile people, we are more entitled than any other nation on the face of the earth. This will serve us in good stead when more dreaded titles to respect are ridiculed, and when more pompous claims,to national admiration are either despised or forgotten. We may observe, in conclusion, that sufficient time not having elapsed for a fair trial of the ope ration of the treaty, Lord PALMERSTON directed further reports to be addressed to him by the Consuls and Vice-Consuls, whenever any thing should occur calculated to throw the smallest light upon its working. In fact, so far as re spects the watching over the interests of British trade, no Minister ever exceeded Lord PALMER STON in vigilance. We have watched his career carefully and impartially, and we mush say that if any member of the late Cabinet is exclusively entitled to the gratitude of the British empire, on retiring from office, that Minister is the late Foreign Secretary, Lord PALMERSTON. We have received the whole of the French Journals of Thursday. The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the projected commercial treaty between Belgium and France, the real gist of which is, that if a market of 35 millions of consumers be opened to Belgium she will be required to secure a market for French produce free from foreign competition—or, in other words, that England must be shut out from all compe- I tition with France in the Belgian market. • Bel gium produces iron, coal, linen, woollen, wool, horses, beeves, and skins; France—wines, brandy, silk, hosiery, clocks, watches, and all articles of household ornament. Now, France produceS iron, coal, and linen, as wen' as Belgium, though at a greater expense, so that at the very ouset there is a rivalry of interests. In the new Treaty Belgium will be the chief gainer, for as she produces cheaply and in abundance many articles of prime consumption in France, and can, there fbre, easily undersell the French Producer in his own market ; so on the other hand, with the exception of wines and articles of bijouterie, in little demand among a people so inartificial as toe Belgians, she pro duces nearly every thing necessary for her own consumption. But as Belgium was the high road through which English manufactures found their way into France, the French Go vernment, finding that the frontier could not be protected, made overtures to King LEOPOLD to conclude the Treaty which is now pending. Whether Belgium will venture upon the course which France suggests with respect to England we are not prepared to say. That our Government will tamely suffer Belgium to bene fit France at our expense, without remonstrating against such unjust partiality, we are not in clined to believe. Were Lord PALMERSTON. at the head of our foreign policy, we should be sure of proper protection being extended to the inter ests of British commerce. The offer made to .Bel glum by France is very tempting. It amounts to this :—" Assist us in excluding England from a competition with our manufacturers, and you shall share the market with them. All that we now want from England which you Can supply shall be purchased entirely from you." Belgium left to herself will hardly resist such a bribe. It is fbr the British Government to take care betimes that the interest of English traders are not wantonly sacrificed. A Toulon letter states, that the Diligente cor vette had been ordered to sail for Candia with dispatches from the French Government to the Consul there. The Semaphore, of Marseilles, states, that, on the If2th ult., as the the Tartan Vigneron, from Tunis, arrived n.ff Cape Bi zerta, she was hailed by fifteen armed men in a large boat, oae of whom came on board, and descending with the Captain to the ca bin, took away gold to the amount of 19,000 francs. The pirates then allowed the vessel to proceed- Now, considering that be sides the crew there were seventeen passengers on board, we cannot applaud the heroism of Captain MOURRUT who offered no resistance to the pirates. It was supposed that the Trident which had gone to meet the Triton and Marengo on their way from Algiers, with instructions for them to proceed to Mahon, would be on the look-out for the pirates. Notwithstanding the official contradiction there is in Paris a renewal of the rumour that a French vessel was detained for a fortnight by the Spanish authorities at Mahon, and that the French Government is now demanding ex planations in a tone of strong resentment Some French ships of war are said to have sailed for that port. Rumours of disaffection in the French army have been for some time bees► prevalent. it not• appears that the removal of the CUtli regiment of the line from Paris was in consequence of a dis- covery of a revolutionary plot, in which several of the officers were implicated. The Govern ment has had the good sense to make as little stir about this affair as possible. Palm, SEPT. 9.—The Moniteur of this morning has no official part.\ The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of Commerce, and Finance, and M. Lehon, Ambassador of the King of the Belgians, have had conferences for some days past, relative to the Treaty of Commerce with Belgium. The Commissioners for that country are Count Menlemeare, lately Minister, and Messrs. Liedts and Deschamps, both Members of the Chamber of Representatives. The Commissioners on the part of Finance are Messrs. de Maisonneui•e, Director of the Foreign Commerce, and Greterin,. Director of the Customs. The ncgociations ►will be carried on rapidly. The question appears to be now clearly defined. If we may believe public report, the suppression of the line of Custom-houses between the two countries is abandoned, or at least definitly ad journed, and the only thing to be determined is the mutual concessions to be made in respect to the impost sties /112pCSCC1 011 1 :1.1 , Ort1llt productions Per 3, ti; 3 ) ltrie M.

Travellers are no longer stopped at the Russim Custom-Houses on the frontier, or, rather, there are no Custom-houses on that side. Russian Custom-house officers are sent to the frontiers of Belgium. The accession will be complete in the month of October next." The Courrier de la Moselle gives a similar ae ,ccount. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 10.—It seems now that the King and the Queen of the Belgians will stop at Paris some time longer before they return to Os tend, where they will stop a day or two, and be at Lacken on the 18th or 20th of this month. We understand that the 13!-dgian Commissioners, who are at Paris to negotiate a tr. aty of CO:1:- merce. with France, have just applied to M. Turner for a report on our book trade. ANTWERP, SEPT. 9. The British Queen steamer arrived in oar road this morning at eight o'clock. This magnificent vessel excited the ad miration of the spectators who crowded the Quay's. The persons admitted on board im- mediately after its arrival are lavish in thei►• praises of the elegance with which it is furnished and the good arrangements of th►e chambers and saloons. The British Queen carried the Belgian, English, and American flags. • • The accession of the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg• to the Germa►► Customs Union is no longer doubtful. The sacrifices made by Belgium to prevent this incorporation have not, been able to hinder it. Afzer such a result the Belgian Go vernment may ask itself whether there is not ground -to revoke certain measures adopted by us, on account of our former connection and sympathy with that country. We learn, in filet, that the Minister of the Interior is engaged on a plan to this effect. The revocation of the law of June 6,1.839, is spoken of. The Luxemburg Commissioners, summoned to the Hague by King William 11., are enjoined to )hzerve the strictest secrecy. The Commis- sinners, nine in number, are divided into three sections; they have met several times in the King's palace ; some of their . sittings have_ been . prolonged till midnight. The majority in each section was composed of independent men. THE 'HAGUE, SEPT. B. On Friday next, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, and the young Princess Louisa, will set nut for the chateau of Scheldau, near Eidmansdorf, in Silesia, which belongs to the Princess Frederick. After stop ping there some days they will go to Potsdam, and after a short stay there return to. the Hague. THE HAGUE, SEPT. 9.—ln the examination of the budget for 1842 43, the sections of the Second Chamber ofthe States-General, remarked in general that it by no means answered the expectations that were entertained with respect to economy and the simplification of the financial administration. It was expected that Ministers would have profited by the many observations made by the States-General in the examination of peeceding budgets, whereas this budget is scarcely different from that of 1841. DETMOLD, Auc. 27.—President Eschenberg is gone to Berlin on a mission, as we hear, relative to the accession of our principality to the Ger man Customs Union, which is expected to take place at the beginning of the next year. _ WARSAW, AUG. 29.:—The Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar arrived here the day before yesterday, on his return from Petersburgh, and having vi sited the Prince Governor, -left us again. yesterday.

I saw a beauty in the park, not famed for chastity, Bespatter with Ler chariot wheels a modest pass,r by; Rich jewels decked her lovely arms, rich gems adorned her hcad, All given, they say, by one of those who thrive upon DEAR _ _ _ BREAD. In France's brilliant capital I heard a young Lord say, Let merchants, manufacturers, and such low men dec.) , ; For we're the salt of all the earth, well born, by God well bred, And the' we choose to live abroad, we'll make them eat DEAR BREAD. PART 11. I saw a grieving artizan beside a workhouse bier, His three pale children, hand in hand, were standing grieving near ; I said to him, my honest man, 'tis vain to mourn the dead ; He answered rot, but cried—Oh, Lord I wilt thou deny us bread? I paced our merchant cities, and I found them strangely still, The ironworlks were silent, and mute the cotton mill ; And round stood groups of starving men—my heart was filled with dread, As I heard them hoarsely 1-nun:luring, the laws deny us bread. . . Lprophesy the day will come, when all the hardy North, And Lancashire and Warwickshire, shall send their millions forth, And Stafford-hire and Derbyshire shall match, by famine led, And cry, in one resist►ess voice—Proud Lords, untas our b read. And we're supported by the Queen, the glory of our band, Dukes Cleveland, Bedford, Devonshite, anti noble Suther- land ; The Earls of Spencer, Leicester, too, are ready all to head The peaceful battle that shall give to all of us cheap bread. DEPARTURE OF LORD FOR TESt; (From the DulEn Post of Thursday.) His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held an, undress Levee this day, which was numerously and most respect ably attended. From eleven o'clock carriages continued to arrive until nearly twelve, at which hour his Excel lency appeared in the State apartment, accompanied by the Officers of the Household. While the company were assembling in the ante-room, and during the ceremony of presentation, the most general topic was that of high ad miration of the public career of his Excellency among a large majority, while a considerable portion of those pre sent, being of Conservative principles, were as liberal of their expressions of respect for the amiable private cha racter and virtues of the man, although they were op posed to his political opinions. Taken altogether, the expression of public feeling which took place this day was one of the most flattering and gratifying compliments that ever was paid to any Governor who presided over the destinie!. of Ireland. In the course of the presentations his Excellency con ferred the honour of Knighthood upon Nicholas Fitz simon, Esq., Magistrate of Police, and formerly M.P. for the King's County. Shortly after one o'clock his Excellency left the Castle on horseback, accompanied by his Aides-de-camp, and followed by a train of private carriages and gentlemen on horseback. The cortege. composed of a vast number of carriages and other vehicles, arrived at Maretimo, the seat of Lord Cloncurry, where the Countess of Fortescue and the Misses Genie awaited his Excellency's arrival, and then proceeded with it to Kingstown. Opposite the Jetty the Shamrock steamer was in readiness to receive their Ex cellencies, who immediately ivent on board. Lady Burke, of Marble-hill, and several other ladies were also on board to take leave of the Countess Fortescue. At a quarter past three o'clock the steamer left the quay, amidst the cheers of a numerous and fashionable assem blage on the beach. DISTRESS IN MANCHESTER.—TIIE CORN^ T AWS.—BonoucH MEETING.—By a requisition, adver tised in the first page of the Manchester Guardian, we observe tha;, in the opinion of many hundreds of our merchants, manufacturers, and tradesmen, of all classes, the extensive and extending distress in this town and neighbourhood, is the result of the corn and provision laws. They propose to consider the propriety of me morialising, the Queen not to prorogue the two Houses of Parliament till • they have entered upon a full consi deration of these mischievous laws. The Mayor, to whom the requisition was presented, has convened a borough meeting for Thursday next, in the Town• hall, and has requested the requisitionists to attend a preli minary meeting on Tuesday. We regret to announce the death of the Mar chioness ofßute, which took place on Friday at Walmer Beach. Her Ladyship was in the forty-eighth year of her age. Her . Ladyship before her marriage was the Lady Maria North, eldest daughter and co-heir of the third Earl of Guildford. The deceased Marchioness had no issue. The folks are so uncommon dull down at Ver mont, that it takes ten nac n to make a joke. U 7 ,4 tz . , ..••••• . ‘., A e-•;:a u • ::, %., t•I f , 4 ..., - • 11) lb! AiVD C n 4) JI On v." " Who runs may read." ronlaxoN. Lord Ponsonby was on the 18th ult. preparing to 1t.5a7.7 Constantinople for England on a leave of absence likel to extend to the term of his natural life. We shall be delighted to witness the return of his Excellency to his native land. He was mischievous at Perri, but he will be useful in a certain House of ill repute in Westminster. Had it not been for t' - :e restraint imposed upon Lord Ponsonby by Lord Palmerston, England and France would by this time have had a sad story to tell. A French vessel which left Tunis on the 10th ult. was robbed by pirates, off Cape Bizerta;of 19,000 fr. in gold. There were 15 pirates in a. boat, but only one boarded and robbed the vessel, which had on board, besides the crew, 17 passengers ! The Journal des Debate of Thursday admits that the object of the Commercial Treaty with Belgium is t, exclude British manufactures from the Belgian market, which is only to be open► to France. 'France, on her side, offers an exclusive market for the staple produce of Bel gium. John Bull will-not patiently stand this. As re gards him, it is a specimen of Irish reciprocity—all on the one side. PITSZT.O The Times, in an article whose object is to contrast the unanimity that exists among the Tories, with the differences that exist among the Liberals, makes the fol lowing remarks :—" There is every probability that the sections of Liberalism of which Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Roe buck,' and Mr. Cobden are representatives, will act pretty uniformity together'; and it will in no degree surprise us, if their united forces should be found to out-number those of the Whigs; properly so called. Thus there will be virtually three parties in the present Parliament : Her Majesty's Ministers, with their supporters ; her Majesty's Opposition ; and her Majesty's Opposition's Opposition. The probable termination of this state of things will be, the dethronement of Lord John Russell from the office leader ; and, in such an event, we might possibly have to congratulate the Conservatives upon the accession to their ranks of that personally re spectable, and • every way well-meaning Nobleman."— The Radical party will only draw off from the Whigs, in the event of the latter failing to discharge their duties promptly and vigorously as an Opposition. At present, we see no cause to doubt that they will be true to their principles ; but should they play false, and make gradual advances to the Tories—and stranger things than this have happened !—the last, desperate struggle will then commence between the privileged and unprivileged classes; between the combined Whigs and Tories, backed by the whole weight of the House of Lords, on the one hand; and the vast majority of the oppressed and unre presented people, on the other The struggle will be long and severe ; the Few will exert every energy they possess ; but the victory will be with the Many. The Post is still harping on the late Byng dinner at Brentford, which seems to have greatly disquieted its nerves. In particular, it is quite enra7, , ed with the Hon. Member for Middlesex, for presuming to assert that we are " now living under an aristocracy." Our Contem porary's evident soreness on this point, is another illus tration of the old adage, that " naked Truth is exceed ingly unlovely." We are " living under an aristocracy ;" and the proof of this may be found in the fact that the present Government possesses the entire confidence and sympathies of the House of Lords—which same House has invariably set its face against, and mutilated where it could not wholly destroy, every really liberal measure brought forward by the Whigs for the last ten or twelve years. The Advertiser, remarking on the prospects of the new Cabinet, and Sir R. Peel's position, says :—" With a Cabinet constituted as we have shown the Cabinet to be, it were impossible, even did he possess the disposition, for Sir Robert Peel to conduct the affairs of the country on liberal and enlightened principles. Lyndhurst, Stan ley, Buckingham, and Graham, are not made of pliable stuff. They will not obey his high behests, should he happen on any occasion to assume the tone and attitude of a dictator, when under the inspiration of one of those fits of expediency with which he has, in former years, been sometimes seized. They have too high an opinion of themselves to acquie: , ce in any course of policy which does not quadrate with their despotic notions of the fitness of things. Instead of being his slaves, the new Premier will speedily discover that he is much more likely to be placed in a position of bondage to them."—Sir Robert Peel, we suspect, has discovered this already. He has been compelled, much against his inclination, to take the Duke of Buckingham into the Cabinet; and to throw poor Lord Londonderry over board, because Lord Stanley objected to him. The new Premier may boast, as he pleases, of his independence, but he wears a fetter on every limb. He is the mere puppet of the aristocracy, who pull the strings that set him in motion. - The ChrOnith predicts the failure of the Peel Go vernment in Ireland, observing :--A moderate Tory Go vernment in Ireland, we repeat for the thousandth time, is a politiCal impossibility. You may try the experi ment which has been tried before, and send to Ireland a man of courtly manners and splendid fortune, and he will succeed, as did the Duke of Northumberland, in winning popularity, in a gay, though impoverished ca pital. His liberal expenditure and his more liberal charities suffice fur that. And if he only abstain from • administering his political functions, he may pass with out discredit through his viceroyalty. But the Secretary of a Tory Government in Ireland has no such option." —A tame system of temporizing and expediency may do well enough in a season of halcyon calmness ; but when party spirit runs high—as it does just now in Ireland— it is a sheer humbug—the last resource of conscious, hopeless incapacity. Sir R.. Peel's attempt to trim be tween the two great Irish sections of Orangeman and Liberal, will be—as it deserves to be—a miserable failure. Let him side: either with the one or the other ; but not stand halting between two bundles of hay. The Orange men have, we conceive, strong claims on his gratitude, which he ought not to overlook. They have aided him in all his of to force himself into power; and now that he has actually succeeded in breaking into the Trea sury, it is but just that he should allow them a handsome portion of the plunder. When a burglary is committed, all parties engaged have a right to share in the swag. The Herald observes:—"Parliament will not, and must not legislate on the Corn-laws during this continuance of feverish excitement, which is altogether opposed to rea son and moderation. If it be absolutely necessary to the relief of existing distress, temporary appliances must be resorted to ; but no permanent legislation on this ob ject, which exceeds all others in importance, must be had recourse to until times of greater quiet and less cla mour. The Parliament of 1815 passed the original Corn law in defiance of brick bats, bludgeons, riots ; and pub lic disorders ; the Parliaments of 1841 and 1842 must be equally impervious to sia:ilar Whig-Radical infl uences."— This notion of our Contemporary, that it grievance is not to be removed while the people are in a state of "feverish excitement"'about it, is too palpably absurd to demand any lengthened exposure. Pray when is an evil to be redressed, if not when a country is smarting under it ? The grievance that occasions no " feverish excite ment" is one that it is scarcely worth while to remedy. The Inverness Courier makes the following remarks in reference to the new Ministry :—" One feature in the Ministry will give general satisfaction, the absenceof that extreme party, so hostile to Ireland, of which Lords , Roden and Winchelsea, and . Sir Robert Inglis, may be considered the representatives. Not a single Orange man appears to have found favour with the Premier. Mr. Goulburn is rather Of the old exclusive cast, but he is not so eaten up with bigot zeal as to threaten an explosion in the Cabinet. The new Irish Secretary, Lord Eliot, is highly spoken of for his generous and conciliatory character, and, according to the Examiner, there could not have been picked out of the Tory party a successor of opposite politics to Lord Morpeth so like him in all his urbane and kindly qualities.' Lord Ripon can scarcely be considered an acquisition to any Ministry. The- lustre of Prosperity Robinson' has long since left him, and there is a nervous timidity and sensitiveness about him in public, which age has much increased, and which ,must ever prevent him from being a useful or powerful debater." The Leicester Mercury gives the following .advice to the Liberals as respects the new Poor-law :—" The Li beral phrty have suffered much, unjustly, through the Poor-law. Let them now, as we have before recom mended, vigorously agitate for the removal of the whole Board of Commissioners ; with the removal of whatever is harsh from the Poor-law; and, though they will find the hollow Tories against them the masses will be with them." The Western Times states that there is little hope of Corn-law reform from the present Ministry, observing:— " Though some people affect to believe that Sir Robert Peel, because he sold the landlords on the Catholic question, will betray and sell therfi again on the Corn question—yet that is impossible in the present case, for they have fastened him down too tightly to allow him to wriggle down the sliding scale to any extent mischievous to their supposed interests. The Duke of Richmond said that the landlords had made Sir Robert Peel Minister, and the same power would unmake him if necessary. The Duke of Buckingham and Sir B. Knatchbull, two of the strongest supporters of the Corn-law, and the Earl of Ripon, the author of it, are all members of the Cabinet. How then can those who look to a reform of the Corn law for an improvement of our commercial affairs, ex pect to receive that reform at the hands of the Peel Cabinet." The Dalin Evening Post entitles the present Cabinet, an Aristocratic one, and adds :—" We do not like Re publieanism—far from it ; we like American Demo cracy still less ; but, we confess, of all the forms of Go vernment ever invented by the wit or the malice of man, we detest an Oligarchy the most. But what signifies our blared. The people of England. we arc told, are /fled with delight, and the people of England will ha ve t h e i r fling. Oh ! they are a fine people and a p rou d— p i ty it is likely they are about to be a starving people. Wh at of that ? Have they not a Cabinet of Lords ?". zsoNn-2.--TrZAVZ—COIZIWERCZ.
