LONDON : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1841. Sir TionErer PEEL intimated to the House of Co:nmonslast night that he means to do nothing to relieve either the £nincial or the commercial di-fficnities of the country till the ordinary time for re-ascemblingParliament after the Christmas holidays. He will obtain the supplies. He will, porary expedivnt not yet announced, NoviCe - for the pre:;cnt deficiency of the revenue, but he :3 not prepared to propose any measures p i ln, , ,nently tiliing the public coffers, or re „lie vast distress of the working classes. - thy sonle t.2n V/I:erefo're did he reject the Whi!,?; nieasures if he Lave none to p,"vpose? Wherefore, too, did lie and party press on Lord J. Russ.ELL to re-assem tie the Parliament :Is soon as possible after the ssolu jou, if he were mot anxious to propose his he relief o.' the public? Was he chly deshfous of supenzed:nr; Ifie Whigs in office, it t:Akil;g their salaries witbou! taking on their duties? IneaFures fs)r t At present the chief duty of the Lt`gislature is tryprovide a sufficient revenue for the 'z,7+ate, and take its e-aorrnons burdens off the sprin:Ts . of private industry-. Sir E. PEEL will do ❑eitl. He bus seized office, be bus got his fee, taut eve': now :e will not prescribe. La:; measure does he take of the patience of the people How long does lie expect that they will submit to starvation? Our informa tion fro - th the thronged manufacturing districts n to suppose that their pa tience is not inexhaustible, and that the limit G:forLearance is nearly reached. What may be the ellet the additional insult and injury in ilicted by the monopolists time will show. We girl's its TCaio ro) , ,:rei - it!":0, however, that many lienons in dic i..ci.rl P-1"tr: of the country !Fill quake when they learn tl;ut tin• Tory Government is stedfastly re- olvcd to the supplies. and postpone the vare::;si o - wrongs si ne die. Our ancestors in. sist - Q(1 VU rgrievances being redressed before the 3 noula Vote the sui;plies. It is generally expected that gentlemen, eveA - when they are statesmen or Ambassadors, sell:: eNpreisly to lie for the good of their country, Should pay some regard to the appearance of trot h. Lord S T . NUE7, hl lii address to the e l e , , Lor ,„; a North Laaeashire, has tautEht us a d ifi e - re;i t lesson, and.ct)nvinced us that a noble man, when a statesman and a Tory, can un bin:3'oEloY sulTass :the utmost latltude allowed t o an A n ,_bassador. The Noble Lord deliberately Writes ea d publishes, and cannot, therefore, plead the. hurry of debate or the animating con- It sts f o: - -victory, which- sometime leads Noble Lords tx. d . Honourable Gentlemen to make strangc assertions, the following instance of an astour ding and obviously false statement : " Her a.je;;ty Las been pleased to call for my , cri;:ce4 and having - felt it my duty, in obedi (.7 ce to ,':e}•J.Zajestg's cornmanthr, to undertake t::c deep resPons ibility of superintending on e o f the nicst important departments of the State, tl:e scat in Parliament which you have con- l'(.l.red on me is ac!;ain at your dispo.?al." Now, tho facts are, that " her MAJESTY" did not call f;:1. Lord STANLEY'S services,. but they were 11;rced oa her by the monopolist's. So fa, frol a Lis Lordship undertaking the dcep "if 2 obedience to her iiAJESTf::4 command," the iLet is that he and part:. and Sir R. PEEL ai.ranged betbreband that he was to Lave the Secretaryship of the it ;lag so FuNiely annouticed weeks ago, ti:o-a;7li vie do nut say that this 61:1ce, Gr some otilee, was the Fomised price of the adhe:-ion to the monopolists. it opr.og;tion to her - 2.,l.lJEsTv's %sill that the To ie!; Iver lorcod iLto eflice; and those Tories, 'Ling On er 2 , IIJESTY 7 S Comm di,tl7.s4tca xhecarious Gflice of th St - at c anlongst thornseives, and left her M.ITESTV 110- thin: 110 (10 111. t to acTilesee in them, and deliver to them the seat; of their respective offices. f3a.111, too, is the usual course of the Consti tution, and we blame the Tories not for adeptiug it. _Bat we do Fay that when a nobleman, w ho should be a gentleman, addresses the public, he is bound to pay some little regard to truth, and n ;f t openly state a great and glaring l,?_isehood. The customary language of office vr!l not Warrant any man l'or openly stating what is contraryito the fact for the manifest pur pose of generating the belief, that her MA JESTY was a free ai. - , , ent in these matters, and that Tories only obeyed her commands, when they turacd the Whig:; out, ai.d took on themselves the responsibility and the salaries of office. Sir THO7.IAS FREMANTLEmoved last night for leave to bring in a Bill to appropriate a portion or the gardens of Kensington, now used as a kitchen-garden, for the purpose of building villas, and to apply the proceeds to pay the expense of aucrmentinc , the kitchen gardens at Windsor. The Hon. Baronet stated that the measure was concocted by the late Ministry, that he found it prepared in his office, that he approved of it, and therefore he asked the House for leave to bring it in. Mr. PROTIIEROB and Mr. WAKLEY (who retains his seat in the midst of the Tories) objected to the measure, because it went to oc cupy, with buildings, or brick ulcers, a large por tion of the lungs of the metropolis. In particular PROTHEROE remarked it was absurd, white the Government is professing great anxiety to promote the healthy recreation of the people, and while the Parliament has been voting large sums to form a park at the East end, and to open the Regent's Park, to close up a large part of Kensington Gardens. That would be a great injury to the densely-populated neighbourhood around the spot. To these forcible arguments Sir ROBERT PEEL condescended to reply that the ground so to be let had never been accessible to the public, who would not consequently be in jured by building on it, and that it was not an improper method, by letting that ground, to meet the expense of consolidating the six kitchen-gardens which now belong to the Royal Household, without supplying it sufficiently with fruit and vegetables. Of course leave was given to introduce the Bill, but we trust it will not pass. We agree with Mr. PROTHEItOE and Mr. WAKLEY, that it is absurd, while the Legislature is laying out money to make parks fur the people, to build villas on this open space. If the people have not hitherto had access to it, and it is no longer wanted for a kitchen-garden, let it be added to the pleasure gardens, and thrown open to the public. Something may be learnt from the discussion. While the bulk of the people are denied almost a last resting place, while they certainly are de nied, so far as the soil is concerned, the means of subsistence, that Royalty, which the Tories and the Whigs reduce to be a mere puppet, Las no less than six gardens for itself, and they do not suffice to supply it with fruit and vegetables. But few of our readers are ignorant that a Royal garden is, in fact, less an establishment for rai ing vegetables and fruit for the Royal tables than for employing a master-gardener, an under gardener, a sub-under-gardener, and several helps. That Royalty should have its own gar den to walk in and gather fruit for itself is quite right, but why the Royal tables should not be supplied by market-gardeners as by market butchers and market-bakers, we are not able to comprehend. Royalty does not feed its own cap.nor grow its own corn. Why must it rear le . its own flo :ers and grow its own peaches? Royal gardens are costly luxuries, which ought to be tables supplied by the given up, and the Roya: industrious gardeners of Chels:a. and Fulham. Six kitchen-gardens, and not fruit anti vegetables enough for the Royal Household, while the people are starving, paints Royalty to them in very dark colours. A new election has taken place for Bridport, and Mr. WARBURTON loses his seat for the ses sion. The House did not possess a more indus trious Member, nor a more consistent politician. His eminent services on the subject of the post age will for ever deserve the gratitude of the mercantile classes. That they will unite as one man to do justice to him and themselves we can not venture to predict. If they wish, however, that such really useful services as Mr. WARBUR TON rendered should be repeated they will not fail to testify their gratitude in an appropriate manner. The letter from Bridport, which we published in the evening. San of Wednesday, partly ex plains the reason why Mr. WARBURTON retires. It appears that some of the Liberal party had recourse during the late election to the same means as their opponents, and bribed the electors. Mr. WARBURTON iSpCrfeCtly free from suspicion, but some of his under-agents are said to be im plicated in it. A person emplovedby the Liberals has turned traitor, and Mr. WARBURTON, from an over-nice sense of honour towards his col league, has sacrificed his seat, in order, we pre sume, to admit a Tory Member, and quash all further proceedings. Accordingly Mr. B. COCH RANE has been elected for Bridport without op position, and Bridport is at present represented by one Tory and one Liberal. While we have a great respect for Mr. WAR- P.CRTON, we must say that we do not understand this transference of seats. It does not agree wi,;!-1 our notions of a Representative Govern- Lient t::91 Members bargain with one another f„r sea t s , au li band them over as if they, and not the constituency, chose the Members. 'Eli?, deep di?gradation of t h e eo ,7stituency, however, is the result of their own acts. They have in too many instances sold themselves, ann it is only natural that those who bought them sho nid conclude that they arc authorised to sell them. By the Corn Returns to the 10th of SepteM" her. whicl!, from thisday till next Friday, govern the duty, the average price of the last six weeks is 735. 2d., and the duty, therefore, is now only Is. per quarter. The average price of the week had fallen to 71s. 2d., and most probably it will fall more next week, raising the duty again to 2s. Sd., if not higher. The purpose of the speculators, however, is ans►rered; the whole of the foreign wheat in bond, or which can be imported by next Friday, will be entered for consumption at the lowest possible duty. What quantity may come in.cannot be known. We have seen it estimated at tiPwards of 1,200,000 quarters of wheat, but fresh vessels arrive continually, and before the duty is raised, a great additional quantity will he imported. Such a sudden and forced importation in wheat must be made in foreign vessels. The success of the speculation depends on the .corn arriving in time ; and to accomplish that the merchant freights any vessels he can get hold of. One of the effects, then, of the sliding scale is to give employment to foreign in preference to British shipping, but that we cannot expect will interest the farmers so much as the effect of the sliding scale on their own pockets. It is plain that the speculation for lowering duty has been confined to wheat, for the duty on barley is Gs. 4d.; on oats, les. 9d.; on rye, 1.25. Gd.; on beans, ss. ; and on pease, 2s. Now the farmers must consider whether the state of the wheat crops is such as to warrant this large importation at a nominal duty, while the [duty on other grain is considerable? The Corn-law is passed for their protection, and is intended to keep out foreign - wheat when the price of home grown wheat is much below 655. Does it answer that purpose? The sales, which determine the av erages, are fictitious. Probably the farmers h ave /lo t of late realised much above 635, per quarter, and yet the duty will be levied on the price of 735. In the returns we nb serve that in Cambridge and Huntingdonshire. the average price of wheat is only 61 s . Tfow will the farmers at that price be benefited w heat being introduced at a nominal duty? If the quantity imported be as great as is sup 'xved, with our own harvest , i t will supply the country till the next year, and then the bulk, if not the whole of our supplies from abroad, will come in without the payment of any duty. Of course, as the purpose of the speculators is now served, the prices will immediately fall, cur own farmers will begin to send their wheat to market, and they will there meet the dreaded foreign wheat imported at a duty of ls. They will be unable to realise what they expect fbr their commodity, while the speculators will be enriched. The fanners are evidently playing with the Corn-laws against monied canitalists, who have nothing else to do but vatcli the mar !:ets, while the farmer has to cultivate his land, and is the end the farmer must be defeated. Nothing can surely benefit and save him from this ruinous competition but perfectly free trade in food. Gratitude is the national virtue of Ireland, and the magnificent display of it made by the six hundred noblemen and gentlemen who on Tues day last were present at the national entertain ment given to Lord MORPETH in Dublin, is as cre ditable to that country as it is honourable to the distinguished nobleman who was the object of it. Few people feel more keenly than the Irish ; nor are they quicker to resent wrongs, than to ap preciate, with all the warmth of which they are so susceptible, the fullest extent of even the wish to serve them. They do not so much reason as feel, but by a process of intuition, which almost amounts to an instinct, a first appearance seldom deceives them either as to a friend or an enemy. Lord .11/oRpl Tll early won the affection of the Irish people, and his official career will long live in their hearts a memento of how worthily they had disposed of those affections. As no Irish Secretary was ever so popu lar in Ireland, so none ever laboured more strenuously to deserve such popularity. Not that Lord MORPETH ever sacrificed to the prejudices of Irishmen, or sought to make him self the darling of one faction in the country. He adopted a course worthier of a statesman and a patriot. He set himself to redress the deep seated grievances which affected the social and moral condition of all classes. He found the land overrun with beggary, and his first effort was to provide for the necessities of the destitute poor. Against a powerful opposition from every quarter—even from Mr. O'CONNELL himself— the Noble Lord carried the Irish Poor-law Bill, so important to the very existence of the work ing classes in Ireland. He found society dis tracted with the quarrels of' factions, the hybrids of sectarian and political antagon ism, and he directed all the power of the Government to put them down equally —all the influence of the Government to deprive them of any support from public opinion. He strove to make all factions equally ashamed of their petty bickerings, and to unite them in the common cause of their country's prosperity. He found a country with a fine climate, a fertile soil, safe harbours, a patient and laborious popu lation, reaping no advantages from her vast re sources ; and with a view to raise her to her proper place in comforts and influence among the nations, he proposed railroads on a scale so extensive as if completed, could not fail to add cent. per cent. in the course of twenty years to the wealth of Ireland: What the Noble Lord was prevented from doing to improve the repre sentation of Ireland, has more than once been described by Lord STANLEY and his friends when seeking in the House of Commons to disfranchise the sister king dom. Nor are the measures which we have enu merated all that Lord MORPETH wished to ac ccmplish for Ireland. We know that there were others which the Noble Lord was prevented by his colleagues from bringing forward, because they were sensible, not that the measures were not good and requisite, but that as a Government it would be in vain. for them to think of carrying them, and that their agitation would but increase the popular discontent. We have not space here to enter into any ex amination of the speech of the Noble Lord, at the banquet alluded to, which will be found in another column. The proceedings at the meet m e ,. ma :. however, convince the Tories that in :overn Ireland after their usual attempting to fashion they will encoOter difficulties for which That it may not be they are but little prepared. suspected that any O'CoNNELL partiality ap pears in the Report, we have taken the bulk o f it, with some slight curtailment, frjni the Dublin Evening Mail—the official organ of the Orangemen of Ireland. The report, therefore— if a partial one—does not sin on the Liberal side, and may, on that account, be regarded as cor rect by the Tories. The burst of execration with which Lord STANLEY'S name waft received was not less significant of Irish feeling, than the nii t o rounds of applause which followed the cup quaffed to the health of Lord MORPETIL We call the attention of our readers to the brief account of the great meeting held at Man chester yesterday. We learn from various sources that it was the most decisive demonstra tion ever made in that populous, wealthy, and influential town, and that, with very few excep tions, the united inhabitants call upon Parliament to take their great and increa4ng distresses into immediate consideration. The cold an nouncement of Sir ROBERT PEEL last evening will add fuel to the flame. Every independent city and town throughout the country will imitate the example, and demand as a right that the men who have forced the I r e Trade Government prematurely out of office shall not mock a starving people by idle words and selfish delay.. Now is the time for action. If the people do their duty the Tory Cabinet must obey them. The Tories have yielded often, and they shall yield again. The ordinary French Journals of Wednesday have arrived. The ilioniteur contains the following:—"By an ordon mina of the 9th instant, tne King has appointed the ".oulg de Sainte Aulare Ambassador Extraordinary to Majesty; the Count de Flahaut, Ambassa er _ 44t " l " n . Etaperor of Austria, _King of Hungary and dor to Salrandy Ambassador to the Queen Bohemia; an. 4 The qua de St. Aulaire has already set off. of Spain."

The Duke d'Aumale Lieutenant-Colonel Tuilerie, in uni- Levaillant left by the Garden of the form, and on foot, arm in arm, to pay a visit to the Marshal yesterday morning." Of the miscreant PAPPARD we find the sub ] joined account in the Gazette des Tribunaux Pappart, who is only twenty-seven years of age, has already undergone more than four years' imprisonment for various offences, and, therefore, it is highly impro bable that he has served the usual period either in the 17th or any other regiment. In 1334, Pappart, who is called the Albinos, from the whiteness of his hair, eye lashes, and brows, received his first sentence of confine ment for a robbery at Sarlat, in the Dordogne, and again for a similar offence, being detained in all five years in prison. He slid not come to Paris till 1839, and was em ployed by several masters by all of whom he was re marked for his extreme irascibility and brutality. During a quarrel in a public-house, at Bercy, he wounded a man with a knife, and suffered in conse quence another imprisonment. The woman with la hom he lived, and who has a child by him three months old, had suffered so much from his violence that, when she heard of his arrest and its cause, she said, `I am sorry for the Duke d'Aumale if he is wounded, but I shall at last get rid of this wretch.' The preliminary examina tions are going on. Yesterday, Baron Pasquier and the Duke Decazes went to the Conciergerie, and remained more than an hour." The National publishes a letter from Clermont, of the 12th inst., in which it is asserted that the rioters having, in the affair of the 9th, thrown stones at the troops, a squadron of dragoons, which had received orders to charge, sheathed their swords; but that the voltigeurs of the 16th Light Infantry, on the order of a Commissary of Police, fired upon a crowd, in a great measure com posed of women and children, and that three of the per sons on whom they fired were shot dead.

The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing advices from Alexandria of the 25th, Constantinople of the 23th, Smyrna of the ,30th, Athens of the 31st ult., and Malta of the sth instant. The news is not important. Lord Ponsonby was to leave Constantinople in about a fortnight, to the joy of the Turks and the Russians, his allies and friends. Few men in such a station were ever so unpopular with those with whom they were acting. Oa the 27th ult. the Sultan and all the Foreign Minis ters were present at a review of 6,000 Turkish troops drilled after the European fashion. It was the first re view attended by the Sultnn since 1831. The Austrian Internuncio congratulated his Highness in the name of the diplomatic body oa the soldierly appearance of the troops. Austria has united with France in demanding from the Porte the recta of British off►cers from Syria. The Sultan has complied with the wishes of these Powers, and orders for the officers to leave that country have been given. France was jealous of the influence acquired by these officers among the tribes of the mountains, who began to regard them as their principal protectors. The Porte has fixed the tribute of the mountaineers of Syria at 3,500 purses, or 17,0001. sterling. This tribute is to be both fixed by the different villages, and collected by themselves. The' evils complained of in the opera tion of the commercial treaties, which are to extend to Syria, are to be carefully inquired into and remedied. The state of Egypt is satisfactory. Mehemet Ali allows the Fellahs one-fourth of the produce of their lands. Ibrahim Pacha grants a third to those who oc cupy his domains. The Bey of Tunis is to escape for the present the vengeance of the Porte. Askar, Pacha of Tripoli, has incurred the displeasure of the Sultan by his cruelty towards British subjects. Flom France and Spain we have no political news apart of the already threadbare aff►ir of the attempted assassination of the Duke d'Aumale. PII2;LIAMP.NTIII7I7. The Commons met last night. The Peers do not meet till Monday. _ New writs were issued for Portarlington and Cavan. On moving for a correspondence relative to the new Houses of Parliament, Sir R. Peel explained his inten tions. He is to move the remaining miscellaneous estimates, including a grant of between 80,0001. and 90,0001. for warming and ventilating the new Houses of Parliament, first referring the subject to a Committee. He is to provide for the renewal, for a definite period, of those Acts which would expire with this Ses sion, including the Poor-law, which he proposes to renew till next July. Mr. Goulburn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is to state on the first day of Ways and Means, not yet fixed, how he is to provide temporarily for the deficiency of the revenue, 2,000,0CC1, but Sir Robert will not now state what measures he re gards as necessary to equalise the expenditure and the revenue, though that must be - done. Neither will he now state what the Ministers will do to meet the com mercial difficulties of the country, postp.ming these sub jects till next Session. He proposes, too, that no contro verted election petition shall be tried till after the House re-assembles. Lord John Russell disapproved of Sir Robert's course, and gave notice that he will to-day state his reasons why the Ministers ought now to propose their measures. There be some debate yet on the state of the country, though no doubt the confidence of the House will follow Sir It Peel, and in spite of protestations to the contrary, the delights of shooting wiil carry away the Members from town and from their public duties. . . Sir Thomas Fremantle obtained leave to bring in a Bill to build on Kensington-gardens, and passed resolu tions through a Committee as the foundation of a Bill for adding Frogniore-house and grounds to the demesne of Windsor Castle. The Foreign Bishops Consecration Bill was read a second time, and the Hoase adjourned. PU33LIC OlengiON. The Morning Post calls upon the " tyrant majority " to laugh down Lord John Russell this evening when he urges the Government to take steps without delay to ri lieve the alarming distresses of the people. Was lan guage so atrocious as this ever used by any Radical print, or even by any of the heartless nobles and im moral prieSts of France, at the outbreak of the Revolu- tion ? These are the words of our Contemporary, who prides himself on being the npresentativa of the gentler sex in the high walks of civilised life :—" We perceive by our report of what took place last night in the House of Commons, that Lord John Russell intend; to make a speech to-night. But we fear we must infer, from the lan guage of the Noble Lord, that he does not intend to con clude his threatened speech with any motion which he will venture to submit to the test of a division. This is matter of regret. We should like to see Lord John taking the sense of the House of Commons upon a mo tion in unison with the notice he gave last night, so far as that notice is intelligible. It is pretty clear, however, that the leader of the Opposition will not do so, unle he should find that Ministerial. Members, from overiveei lug confidence in the strength of their own party, should have overloo:ced the consta incessity of watching yie manouVres of the outs, and, by their absence have giv n Lord John a chance of dividing without incurring tl e ridicule of the country. Every supporter of Sir R.,Peel's Gu t v.minnent who has not a pair ought to be present to-night, if it were only to show Lord J. Russell how insignificant prgett ha i s an d of how insignificant a party he is nine the leader. Upon the Merit,of the question which the Oppos:tiun leader means to suhailt to the House to-night, it is unnecessary that we should say a single word. He is to ILO tat with the Members of her Majesty's Government, distinguished leader, for that fortnight, during which time they have had to obtain they iia having g d with been in their office something less than a the renewal of their representative characters as Mem. bers of the Ifousa of Commons by an appeal to the suffrages of their constituents, are not prepared now during a necessarily short Session of Parliament to bring forward permanent measures of domestic policy, upon which it took Lord John Russell and his colleagues eleven years to make up their minds—if any body is generous enough to pay them the gratuitous compli ment of supposing that they ever made up their minds at all. We cipect that Lord John will be laughed down to night, as any person exhibiting the effrontery of which he has given notice, ought certainly to be, in an assembly of respectable and intelligent men. The Morning ChronV.; has the following remarks on the same fearful subject :—" The manufacturing districts are all in motion to prevent the prorogation of Parlia ment until some measure shall have been adopted for relieving the distressed state of trade. We find by the communication of our Birmingham Correspondent that a requisition to the Mayor to memorialise the Queen not to Prorogue Varliainent has been signed by many of the most respectable and influential merchants and manu facturers in that town. There, as in every other mann :7eturing town, the worst consequences are anticipated f rom indifference to the distresses of the people, implied in the abrupt prorogation of Parliament. At Walsall 2 numerous meeting: was held on Wednesday, at which a petition to her Majesty was agreed on, praying her not to prorogue Parliament till both Houies shall discuss the free trade recommendations in th e Royal Speech, and es; Many the foreign trade in corn. u pwa i-ris . of one hundred signatures were yesterday at tached to a re -misition fur a meeting of the great ward o f Farringdo i l \ ;: . A . hout, to prevent the prorogation. of the coming storm. Sir These are but the precut. starving people are Robert Peel will find that millions , nvenience, not to be trifled %with. It may suit his j, and gratify the inclinations of hi s f o ll owers , to postp, sne till the sprin! , the consideration of the measures to which t i le people rook for their salvation, but dearly will he purchase the convenience. The capital of the manufac turers is rapidly disappearing. Their 'all drags down one banker after another; and the people, without em ployment and without food, are to be deprived also of hope! As Mirabeau said, when a national bankruptcy was mooted, the yawning gulf will be filled up. Let the millions be true only to themselves, and lie must abandon his intention." _ _ _ The Morning Advertiser animadverts in the same strain to this wretched and wicked attempt to put off the evil day:—",Now, therefore, is the moment for the people to support the late leader of the House of Commons. He calls for immediate attention to their claims ; let that call be supported by addresses to the Throne from every city, town, ,parish, and borough in the kingdom, praying her Majesty not to prorogue Parliament till the complaints and sufferings of the people receive the due consideration of the Legislature. When Sir Robert al leges that he has not made up his mind on such subjects as the Corn-laws, the Poor-laws, the Factory-laws, and the means of providing for the financial wants of the State, he at once acknowledges his incapacity as Premier? A little while since he refused to prescribe until regularly called in, and now that he is called in, he delays the ex pression of his opinion on the plea of not having made up his mind. Quackery itself could not require a more perfect illustration. Let any impartial man, answer to himself the simple question the man who not yet made up his mind on the 'Corn-laws, the Poor Laws, the Factory Question; or the mode of providing for surplus expenditure, fit to Lc the Premier of Englund?' Sir Robert must have come to some conclusions on these subjects, and his silence can proceed only from the fear of the storm of indignation which he knows the expres sion of his opinions must excite. By postponing his day of trial till February, he merely, like a conscious crimi nal, speculates on the theory of chances. It is now for the people to exert themselves against the possibility of their rights and interests being at that time made thoroug,hly subject to the oligarchic dictation which the Peel Ministry is about to prepare for them. The Herald describes the plan of the Premier as ab solute wisdom :—" Sir Robert Peel has realised our ex pectationF. Ile has acted as a wise and prudent Minis ter ought to act. To have rushed on the consideration of all those great topics of excitement raised by the Whigs to save themselves from the indignati-n of Ow country, without due consideration as a Govern !lent, would have been the most unwise and foolish expedient his Administration could have adopted. Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues are in power becau se the nation co nfides in their aility and integrity ; but haste and precipitation on their part would have shaken that con fidence. They have saved the empire from the curse of Whig legislation ; that is ample service for one session. The Times, though not so heartless as the Post, ap proves of the dilator- course proposed by Sir Robert Peel not, however, Wi 'lout evident misgivings as to its consequences. The seers interspersed throughout it , remark refers to a speech made by. Mr. Macauley, i which he described the deplorable condition of the country when the Tories fled from office in 1830. " Let 1 the BritiJi nation read the statesman-like ekciaration of his future policy which Sir R. Peel has of late frequently ond never more cautiously and prudently than las: nig .1 - , and decide how far portion of the pre dic: is in progress of completion. But he 'went on, ' filled with the present God,' and. predicted, that they odd return to a situation, in which they could stan . d. only by crushing and trampling down public opinion,'— they, who have been returned by the omnipotent forca of public opinion, which has been at once the cause of their success, and is, thank God, the reward of their victory. And the second-sighted seer concluded his wful denunciations—never were words more full f ad —by &clarini, that if they fell from that s' u they might in t'Aeir fall drag down the whole frame of society.' Wh: t mischief they may thus accomplish is beyo our power, for we were born south of the Tweed, to di;ine ; but it is a consolation for us to know at pre sent., that the fundholders are not yet in dismay—the peasantry are not yet in insurrection—and our most fer iae counties are not yet lighted up with the fives of in cendiaries.' Whether the lovers of license and enemies of order may not deem it :necess iry to have those fires r -lighted, with a view of getting up the steam' cainst the present monopolists' of power, is a ques tion on wi:ich some doubt may be entertained by those who look to the recent proceedings at Manchester, and to the threatened proceedings at Southwark and other populous places. But, though there miy be room fir doubt, there is none for ap prehension, much less for dismay. The great bulk of our population is too thoroughly imbued with the con viction that liberty is peace, that liberty is order, to be seduced into acts of outrage by self-seeiting professors of patriotism, who proclaim in our market-places, like Jack Cade and his rable rout, that there shall b.; in England seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny.' But if by any turn in public affairs, which it is impossible at present to anticipate, the evils of insubordination and anarchy should appear to threaten the country, it is en couraging to reflect that we have statesmen now at the helm who know how to protect and how to defend our beloved Sovereign, and all the time-hallowed institutions of the land, against the desperate assaults of their reck less violence." The Kent Herald' urges that, if the Liberals do not Icing forward •an opposing candidate to Sir Edward Knatchbull, of which at present there is only a rumour, that they will neverthelesS not fail to attend the nomina tion and require from the would-be representative of Kent on what principles the Government, of which he is a Member, proposes to rule' the country. It will be worth while to witness the Paymaster wincing from the test. We hope he will be asked whether Ministers pro pose to adhere to the sliding scale and the present rate of " protection" to agriculture, or will follow on the doc trines of free_ trade commenced by Huskisson under a Peel and Wellington Administration., He must be asked too what will the Tories do with the New Poor-law ? Wail they mitigate its severity, and by consequence in crease the Poor-rates which fall mainly on the land oc cupier, or will they, now they are in office, uphold that which in opposition they, for a factious purpose de nounced ? An inquiry may also be made as to the mode in which the Right Honourable Paymaster, the great op ponent of Catholic Emancipation, proposes to deal with the Emancipated Catholics. Will he act on his own Anti-Catholic opinions, or succumb to Sir Robert, the emancipator, whom he formerly opposed ? Will he, the professed champion of the Church, act cordially in unison with Lord Stanley, the demolisher of ten Irish Protestant' Bishoprics ? Will his answers satisfy his clerical friends in East Kent ? In short there is no limit to the torture which the applied question might put him to. covin.Ezt.crisa. 7iFtEPORIK.

GREAT PUBLIC MEETING IN MANCHESTER, TO MEMORIALIZE THE QUEEN NOT TO PRO ROGUE PARLIAMENT UNTIL THE CORN LAWS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED THIS DAY. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. The meeting to-day went off in . glorious style' the Town-hall was crammed to suffocation, and quite unanimous. The Tories issued circulars yesterday to all the voters in their interest, call ing on them to attend and oppose the proceed ings, as the meeting was called for unconstitu tional objects, and only got up to annoy Sir Robert Peel. But the great 'body of the Tories here are as much opposed to the Corn-laws as the Radicals are themseliles, and they did not answer to the whip of their leaders. The Char tists were also plied with the usual substantial arguments, but they refused to join in obstruct ing a meeting, called flif the purpose of giving bread and employment to the starving operatives. The result of all the efforts of the Tories was, that when Mr. G. Clarke (the Chairman of Sir George Murray's Election Committee) attempted to propose an amendment, the meeting refused to her him, and no seconder had the courage to make his appearance. When the Memorial to the Queen was put to the meeting by the Mayor, only two hands were bebrup against it—one of them belonging to the said Mr. Clarke, and the other to that well-known politician, Mr. Flintoff. i s Whatever falsehood the Tories m invent to cover their discomfiture, I assur u I never saw so numerous, so respectable, an o enthusi astic a meeting. , Manchester may be said to be united as one man against the bread-tax. The Memorial to the Queen will go off this evening to the care of Mr. Mark Philips. DONCASTER, RACES. (BY EXPRESS.) The Gascoigne Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h ft, for three yr olds.

Show the Honourable Houses that the Engli'-' ll people and the Scotch people will not longer o'l dare the injustice, and it will be repealed, but no; unless you do this. The course seems to us to be to show the pea pie the first step to be taken fbr bettering thet condition, namely, the facility of get:ing a supp l y of lbod ; but not to direct their attention de cidedly and boldly to that, is to increase the clan' ger in other respects. There must be, and is , a vast amount of suppressed and smothered vi o " lence amongst the people. Give it a safety-va lve by directing it rightly. It is reported, in the speech of the R M ev. r.

Mr. R.

OBITUA RY.—D•ed at Raleigh, North Carolina , on Tuesday, the 24th instant, Joseph Gales, father of on e of the Editors of this paper, and of the wife of the o ther! He had completed his eightieth year on the 4th of Fe bruary last. Mr. Gales was a native of the village o 1 Eckington, Derbyshire, in England, and commenced bit,: siness as a printer and bookseller, when of age, at Sliet field, in 1787, the Sheffidi Register. Persecuted on !lc; count of his political principles, after publishing that popular paper for seven years, he imigrated 1794, h i s with his family, to the United States, spending on h i a way some months in Germany ; arrived at Phila de P in August, 1795, beginning business as a printer and after a time purchasing from the elder Osw ald' th e establishment of the Independent Gazetteer, u hich e published for a year, and resold it to Samuel 11. Stung, Esq. (afterwards the founder of the National Pali yencer) ; emigrated to North Carolina in SePtet er a l 1799, and there established igit Register, he published for forty years, s and which is still published by his youngest son, a native of North Carolina, t he father having only a year or two ago retired from tn there , e concern.—National Intelligencer. veek LEITH.--FOREIGN GRAIN —We last noticed the unprecedented importation of foreign gr ain. the arrivals since then have been still more numerou s ' not fewer since Saturday than a hundred foreign vesse4,B having within these three days entered our harbou r with grain, and, at the time we write, numbers are s r; pearing in the roadstead. The Docks,; eastern an; western, are literally crowded with shipping—a Her" c passage is just kept fer those going out and in, otherwis the docks might be crossed over, the vessels abreadth. There never was such a number of ships 3tl the Docks at one time before. The appearance is more lik e , the crowded port of the Thames, or the gr e at docks O' Antarerp, than anything we have seen. Vast number: these three days past are. visiting our harbours to witfi es i this great assemblage of shipping frcm the continen ts ports. Tne great variety of build forms a striking fe s ; ture in the group—the tall-masted German, the bur l rounded Dutchman, and the slim tapered Prussian, COw treat finely with the massive British barque lying along :ile.—,dinburgh Paper. of THE FRUIT SEASON.—The supply of fruit e every description has this year been much larger than for so.; seasons past, and notwithstanding the reduced rate of duty, tier importation of forign fruits Las been very trifling. The le ,. l. has be( n confined to the early supply of .some of the per;sha b varieties, but not at all to interfere with the home grower when his productions were brought into the market. The supPlY i ° J . apples is unusually large, both at Covent-garden and Spill ,o 7„' t markets, where, from the great glut, the finest sorts from M",, may be procured from 1 - s. fid. to 2s. 6d. per bushel, being a' a rate so low that apples from Cambridgeshire, from which a large supply is brought to the London markets, will not is4l the price of carriage ; so that any competition from fof e V a i sources with this fruit is quite out of the questiou. unusually`l'll" cider coui:ties the crops are represented as being large. The crop of pcars,and the prices at market, are 1 : 1° above the usual average. There has already been an extensive i luirtation cf walnuts from France and Holland, the Eingls3ll s pplj being totally inadequate to the demand. owing to t! la. r e destruction of walnut trees during the war fur r ouskr stocks nd other purposes. Foreign grapes are abuneuit t'e market, w t ich are now exhausted of oranges, none of to ts year's fruit having yet been teceiv, d. he supply of plums 16 very considerable; but there is a s.anty demand fur them fa the purpose of preserves, on account of the high price of sae* which renders our own dearer than foreign preserves. t's 4 cumbvrs have been very plentiful ; but the demand for 01 0 has nev r rallied since the outcry against this fruit at the time of the Asiat.c cholera.
