The Christine insurrection having signal ly failed in Sp a i n, we learn that the Ex-REGENT has consented to give the Spanish Ambassador a declaration, Signed w i t h h er own hand, solemnl y disavowing any concurrence in the plans of the nsurgents. The misguided men having failed to overthrow the Government, their perfidious Pa troness coolly strips them of any claim which they might otherwise set up for the exercise of the Royal clemency in their behalf, by protest.' ing, in the face of heaven and earth, that they acted not under any instructions received from her. And wherefore, our readers will ask, does CHRISTIN • act with such Perfidy towards unfortunate men Is it that elm is ashamed . of openly incurrin sarketib g the inf amy o f the ning ; s:, Min deromurderousMidnight attack up on sort. Cust ice (?f her own chtu Ateil N o thi ng o f the i immt 31 ux 0 z, seeing that she cannot recover the- Regency ; Nyants to . se - eure. tire vast . -••• property which FERDINAND, in his dotage, be stowed upon her in Spain. It is not a-regar& for her character, but a solicitude for the safety of her money-bags, that influences her present conduct. She could not avow her participa tion in the insurrection without exposing her do mains to confiscation, and of her vastwealth there is not a single dollar which she does not prize above the heart':-blood of the unfortunate General LEON and all his misguided accomplices. We have little doubt that the Spanish Government, which is no stranger to her cupidity, took care to place this view of the question before her in a strong light. The Spanish Minister at Paris, Senor OLOZAGA, appears to have acquitted him self with signal ability under very trying circum stances. It may be reasonably inferr.d from his letter to General ALCALA, that he lost no time in making CHRISTINA acquainted with her exact position, and of the necessity of her assuming one less suspiciously hostile, if she was not prepared to go all lengths with her parti san. We moreover know that the strong remonstrances addressed by OLOZACIA to the French Government kept Louts PHILIPPE _ . within bounds, when his Majesty had all bu made up his mind to throw off the mask, and declare openly for O'DONNELL and the CHRISTINA insurgents. We have heard, and readily believe, that Senor OLOZAGA met with the cordial support of the English Government. This was what CHRISTINA MUNOZ and her par tizans.were not at all prepared for; seeing that they were ready to gratify the . Tories,by abolish ing the Constitution. But the Tories well knew that a crusade against Spanish liberty for the purpose of placing a son of the Xing of the FRENCH on the throne of ISABELLA IL would doom them to everlasting reprobation, and they very prudently declined being dupes to any such infamous transaction. One important and salutary fact is established by the attempted insurrection in favour of CHRISTINA MUNOZ in Spain—namely, that the bulk of the inhabitants desire nothing so ar dently as peace. In the insurgents' bands hardly a man was comprehended but the soldiers and their officers, who deserted Don CARLOS and accepted the Convention of Bergara. These men, suspected by all parties and trusted by none, grew exceedingly dissatisfied with their condition. In Valencia the REGENT endeavoured to promote them to offices of trust, in common with the rest of their fellow -countrymen, but such was the outcry raised against them by the friends of those whose blood they had shed when in the service of Don CARLOS, that he was con strained to cancel their appointments. Their chief, General MAROTO, remonstrated privately and publicly, but the people were inexorable. Despised by the Carlists, who remained faithful to their principles, and distrusted by the loyal subjects of the young QUEEN, these men readily hearkened to the proposals made to them by the agents of CHRISTINA MuNoz. The King of the FRENCH, who did not discriminate between them and the old legions of ESPARTERO, readily gave credence to their report that the army was wholly disaffected to the present Government. The signal failure of the expedition, and the loss of his forty thousand pounds, will cure the King of the FRENCH of his oresent itch for meddling so deeply in Spanish politics. _ _ _ It is deeply to be deplored that the state of pub lic feeling in Spain imposes .upon the REGENT the necessity of making severe examples of the mis guided men who are taken in arms against the Government. But in a country, where every act of clemency is imputed to weakness, and there fore but the provocative to future rebellion, a mistimed leniency is often the greatest cruelty. Still we trust that every precaution will be adopted to avoid the useless effusion of blood. While on the one hand it may be absolutely ne cessary to convince the people that the crime of rebellion never goes unpunished, it cannot be less necessary on the other to avoid familiarising them with the brutalizing spectacle of numerous capital punishments. There are few wholesome moral lessons to be learned under the gallows, or within hearing of a murderous fusilade. A few severe examples in different parts of Spain may unhappily be called for, but a Government so strong as the REGENT'S no longer requires the aid of terror to-maintai n it against an enemy so utterly wanting in every great and good quality as MARIA CHRISTINA MUNOZ. While the young QUEEN remains unmarried she will continue an apple of discord to Spain. When, therefore, ESPARTERO has rid his hands of the insurrection in the Basques, he ought to lose no time in betrothing his youthful Sove reign to her cousin, the son of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA, who, by this time, has arrived in Madrid. This step will put arstop to the intrigues of the French Court for the hand of the young QUEEN, and rn. - re than any other consolidate the affections of the Spanish people. Already has M. THIERs and an influential body of French statesmen declared in favour of such a match. It has, therefore, the advantage of satis-. Lying all moderate men in. France, while afford ing no ground for uneasiness to England. IThere are few habitual readers of The Sun who will feel disposed to question our veracity, when we state that of our daily Contemporaries no other Journal can be named which has more in variably advocated extensive improvements in the materiel and personnel of the British navy. Not only have our leading columns been more extensively devoted to subjects connected with the improvement of the Navy than those of any other London daily Paper, except, perhaps, the Times, but we have gone out of our way—which the Times has not—to give increased circulation to every article on the question of Naval Reform, which we regarded as at all calculated to benefit that measure. We suffered no petty jealousy to influence us in the discharge of a public duty. We did not stop to ask whether the Journal from which we were about to quote, ever quoted us. 'Enough that it manifested a sympathy with us in a common object to obtain for its opinions all the increased circulation which we could give to it. Acting upon this high and disinterested' principle, we quoted, on Thursday, a part ofan article from the Herald of that morning, which, with some very proper remarks on the inade quacy of the pay of officers and men in the Bri tish Navy, as compared with the navy of the United States, contained a very foul and calum nious attack up)n Mr. Huarn. While we did every justice to what was tr ue in that article, We took care to guard , against misconception on the part of .our readers, by exposing the astigation of the Hera partisanship, Which dictated Petty, ignorant ld,sirm it o s r fi ar t i ls c e e h i o l o a d s: Our turned the tables upon how ever, stung that J..nirual to the q uick. Havinn , the Herald by proving, from HANSARD'S" Parliamentary I:1 ebates," that the Tories now in office were gtiilty of the paltry disingen' economy which it falsely imputed to Mr HUME with a our Contemporary, t . tousness ' worthy of a pettifogging attorney, triumphantly appeals to the tenour of made I speeches • n the House of Commons by that Gallant and Ho nourable Officer, Admiral Sir E • C ODRINGTON• How is it that the , Herald m a k es no quotations from these speechs? Why does it not silence us with the Admiral's testimony in his own words, either from HANSARD or the Nirror of Parliament ? We . cal give the true answer to these questions. Because the Gallknt Admiral said not a word to'the purpose imputed to him by the Herald. • What Mr. Humn hat , Admiral Sir C. COD contended .... c ontended fur, and w d of in his Parliament ar y conduct, was a reduction, not of the pay, but of the number of the force maintained in a time of E Hum never, advocated profound peace. Mr. the reduction of the wages of seamen in active on re- service, nor of the pensions granted them tiring from such service. On the contrary, he repeatedly stated in the House of. Commons, dtn: 7 ing - his long and distinguished career of useful ness in that HouSe, that our sailors . were not ade-. .quately remunerated, and that one of .the first. ;stops toward s t h e abolition Of ini- essiiient w.atf-i ~,__ ~ti {2 .1 J i .. . ..e. *-- to increase seamen's wages on board all vessels in her MAJESTY . S service. As the Herald claims the distinctiol of an acquaintance with naval af fairs, so far back as 1688, it may be unnecessary to remind it that the Right Hon. Netherby Rat, Sir J. GRAHAM, took an active share in support ing the good old starvation, cat-o'-nine-tails, im pressment system. The Herald takes great credit to itself for having awakened public attention to the neces sity of reforming the Navy. This is parodying the fable of the fly on the back of the ox after a very ridiculous fashion. But for its falsehoods, the article in the Herald would not have elicited a syllable of remark, much less of controversy and had it not descended to particulars, even its calumnies would not have been deemed.wor thy of notice. But when, it , has the audacity, in the case of a public man, whose opinions are so well known as those of Mr. HUME, to substitute for a reduction of the naval force of the country in time of peace, a proposed reduction in sea men's wages, and to appeal for a confirmation of the falsehood to so distinguished an officer as Admiral Sir E. CODRINGTON, then indeed it would be criminal to suffer its calumnies to pass without contradiction and reproof. • Now that there is an apprehension of a war with the United States, the Tory papers disco ver that our gallant seamen are under-paid. The Sun made the same discovery ten years ago, when there was no prospect of a war with any Power. During all that period we never allowed the Navy Estimates to be brought forward without advocating the claims of our gallant naval defenders to an increased rate of remu neration. Even now the Herald can get no lower than a midshipman, whereas we never lost sight of the brave fellows before the mast. Tory sympathy for the people never manifests itself but when they are called upon to shed their blood for the aristocracy. On the eve of a bat tle •" privates" are addressed by Princes as " fellow-soldiers," and endearing appeals are made to their love of a country which awards them sixpence a day for the loss of a leg. When sailors are wanted to be shot, by way of holocaust to the national honour, Tory Journals humanely contend for the adoption of such a scale of remu neration as shall obtain from the victims a volun- tary consent to run the chance of being so sacri• ficed. This does not proceed from any re gard for the interests of the naval ser vice, farther than it secures immunity from danger to the aristocracy. The people have grown too enlightened for the gag ging, impressment system, and the Tories foresee that in no extremity dare the Government again have recourse to it. Hence their solicitude for anticipating an outbreak with America by such an increase in the wages of seamen as shall keep them from deserting to the ranks of the enemy. Even the Herald avows this. Were there no apprehension of the desertion of our seamen for a service in which they would be better paid, not a stiver would the Tories consent to give them more than they at present receive. In the eyes of the Tories they are mere mercen aries, and as mercenaries only do they propose to the Government to make sure of their services. How very different is this from the principle upon which The Sun always advocated some rate of fair proportion between the rewards of the aristocracy and the people when employed in the common service of their country. Our readers will see, in another part of our paper, a melancholy instance of the tyranny which the Established clergy are in the habit of practising upon the poor. The Curate of Mar den, a parish in Wiltshire, refused to bury the body of a parishioner with all the usual rites, because he praised the Ranters, and said neither Church nor parsons were necessary for salvation: The clergyman would not suffer the body to be carried into the church, but would condescend to repeat part of the service in the churchyard, and proceeded to perform the ceremony, when the re latives of the deceased rejected his assistance. The body was hurried into the grave, the parson was hooted out of the' churchyard; and when he commenced- his usual duties on the Sabbath all but four or five left the church. Dissent is increasing in every direction, Church-rates are refused, and the great bodY,of the people look upon - the parsons as their bitterest enemies. Will conduct like this bring back the scattered flock to the fold ? We cannot disregard the appeal made to the ,impartial justice of the public press by the meet ing of the Trades' De!egates of London, held last night, to take into consideration the strike of the masons at the new Houses of Parliament. When questions affecting the interests of large bodies of the community, however humble their position in society, are brought fairly and regularly before us, we are always willing to treat them in a spirit of the utmost fairness. If we can be accused of a bias, from which few mortals are entirely free, it is of never leaning to the side of the strong against the weak, of taking part of the powerful oppressor against the helpless oppressed. But in the case of the masonic strike, we have not hitherto had all the facts sufficiently before us. What the masons stated one day Messrs. GRISSELL and PETO con tradicted the next, so that we could only advance conjectures amidst a host of clashing assertions. But the meeting held last night was a step to wards the placing a full, clear, and true state ment of facts before the country. Now, all the statements made at that meeting are yet open to contradiction. They are ex-parte, in asmuch as neither Mr. GRISSELL nor Mr. PETO, nor their foreman, Mr. ALLEN, are reported to have been present. But should the statements of the Chairman of that meeting, Mr. WORTHINGTON, not be :contradicted—should the silence of ALLEN and his employers leave no doubt on the public mind of their truth— . then, speaking under that supposition, we regard the conduct of Messrs. GRISSELL and PETO in not discharging ALLEN as highly reprehensible. The instances of tyranny adduced by WORTHINGTON against ALLEN, if true, are so atrociously unnatural that we find the utmost difficulty in believing that they could take place in a Christian coun try. A young man requests a fortnight to go down to Manchester to bury his mother ; instead of being commended for his filial piety, an insolent foreman restricts him to two days, at the peril of losing his work. The poor young man is expected to entomb a parent as he would bury a dog, without being allowed a single day to visit her grave and commune with his own heart. He is a poor working man, and is therefore expected to have no feelings apart from those of labouring a certain number of hours for a certain rate of wages. The next instance of alleged tyranny is, if possible, grosser still. A mason went to catch the last breath ofa dying wife; he stopped to see her remains decently restored to their mother earth, and on returning heart stricken to his employment is met by a foreman who tells him to "go and die with her and be d—d !" Need we trouble our readers with fur ther instances of tyranny, so revolting to the dearest feelings of our common nature, cited at this meeting ? Is there any act of oppression that could be disbelieved of a man capable of committing one or the other of those to which we have so briefly alluded ? The meeting of the Trades' last night was an adjourned one, so that an opportunity will next week be afforded to Messrs. thus- SELL and PETO to contradict the state ments of the Chairman, should they - happe n to be unfounded. For our own part, we are - not in a condition to decide upon the question one way or the other. We repeat once for all, that what we have written above is based on the hypothesis that the state inents made at the meeting gare true. IE is with the deepest regret we announce our apprehensions that incendiarisin is again begin ning to prevail. More than one incendiary fire has aleadY taken- .place in. Yorkshire; the Brightoz ,Herald giveapn acco un t of the wilful 77 1( n_trning of a wheat-r 1 IJ - ear Arundel; and sever,' other ,proyincial,journals contain- state . merits of similar :atrocities. - These are ominous signs, and such as Ministers will do well to take heed to betimes. They indicate a feverish and alarming state of things which requires a far proMpter and more efficient remedy than Sir. R. PEEL seems inclined to apply—that. is. to say-, : provided he can first obtain the permission of his aristocratic task -masters. Incendiarismis not a danger that lies merely on the surface; and none should know this better than the Tories, whose last days,Or power, in the . year 1830, were ren dered remarkable by the blazing of barns hand haystacks all over the country. With the . . expulsion of these men from office ceased the : atrocities of Swing; with their return to Downing-street, he, too, renews his'old career . of crime and desperation - . Will the Tories tell us after this that there is a reaction in favour of •Toryistn throughout the country ; and that the starving' and destitute operatives are perfectly content to wait till February for .an inquiry into their : , case PEEL would have us - believe that they are-; : and when his attention is directed to the , state of the manufacturing districts; When he is informed by, those who are thoroughly ac-. quainted with, the subject, that trade is notonly lan-' guishing, but in many towns in a state of Utter stag nation; that thousands who last year were compa ratively Well off; are row unable to find so much as a small loaf for the day's scanty meal ; —when' these facts are brought home to Sfr,R. PEEL, how does he reply ? By reading- sorne paltry partial Savings' Banks statistics in:Parliarnthlt; which, so far from assisting his 'ease, make it stronger than ever against him ! As he .has resolutely turned a deaf ear to the cry of despair and starvation that - has reached him from the manufacturing districts, we are _not without our apprehension's that, in the alarming instance ,of incendiarism, he will-content himself with pu nishing the crime, - without trOubling himself to investigate 'endremove the cause. The following extract from the., Western Times will show that we have not exaggerated the present distresses of the people— " The state of the county becomes every day more ap palling. Famine stares the masses in the face. The failure of the potatoe crop, owing to the extreme wet ness of the weather, and the widespread devastation of the floods, will add greatly to the misery of a deficient grain crop. Sir,.Tiobert Peel has prorogued the Parlia ment, but he. has not stifled the cries of the suffering millions. The approaching winter is viewed with appre hension by all classes." The whole of the Paris Journals of Thursday have reached us. The following telegraphic de spatches with news from Spain appear in the official columns of the Moniteur of that day : " BAYONNE, OCT. 18. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the 14th General Ayerbc went out of Pampeluna, and marched against O'Donnell." " BA YONNE, OCT. 19. . , “ THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " It is affirmed that O'Donnell has effected his junc lion with Urbistondo at Tolosa. Iturbe has joined Al cala at Hernani. Their advanced guard was at Andoain. According to the .Ministerial journal the Expectadur of .the 12th, the Regentilias sent orders to Don Francisco to suspend his enttance into Spain." • " BAYONNE, OCT. 19. " THE SUB-PREFECT TO THE - MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the 16th, O'Donnell gained possession of Estella. Urbistondo was in the mornin g of the 18th a t T o l osa , and Alcala at A n d oa i n . Th e Carlist Colonel Lanz is scouring the frontier •at Navarre, at the head of some :old officers and soldiers of his party, seconding O'Don nell.

It has de cided upon raising a third battalion of National Guards, to be composed of men of the port and sailors from the Grao. Each alcade is preparing a list of suspected per sons within his quart er . None but the patriots are al • lowed to go out of the town. Entrance has been refused to three companies of the Regiment of Savoy, coming from Alicant. General Seoane returned to Valencia on the evening of the 14th." " BAYONNE, OCT. 20. "THF. SUE-PREFECT TO THE 3IINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " Yesterday, at 12 o'clock, Alcala was to march to Her nani. It appears certain that 1,500 yplunteers from Na varro have taken part ibrth O'Donnell " From these despatches it would appear that the insurrection is not sp,near suppressed as was at first supposed. _ Hence CHRISTINA Murroi's disavowal of the "ItIV(U - ," attributed to her by the Spanish Ambassador. 'When insurrection appears to succeed.she grows anxious to take advantage of it. The Times, however, publishes the following extract from a letter from Paris, dated " Thursday, clock, n. 31.," which gives a very different account - of the prospects of Madame MUNOZ and her partisans " You may regard the insurrection in Spain as at an end. The principal chiefs of it ar© either arrested or have taken refuge in France. Among the former is M. pontes de Oca. " The regiments which had taken part in the revolt have submitted to the Regent, and have taken anew the oath of fidelity to the present Government ; of these the Regiment de Bourbon is the most important. " The entire population of the country through which the army of Rodil passed submitted. " I wrote you to-day that by arrivals of the 17th inst., from Barcelona, the ,tevolutionary movement in that city continued. The'Japublicans of Barcelona have made an appeal to the Republicans of France." The following extractsinclude all the news to be found in the Journals of Thursday : A correspondent of tho Spanish frontier writes to the Presse—" Hitherto the troops of both parties in the Basque provinces have respected all the couriers of Foreign Cabinets. Esparter&s General (Alcala) has become the first to fail in this 'respect. He stopped, at Andoain, the last courier sent by the. French Govern ment to its Charge d'Affaires at Madrid, and compelled him to return to Bayonne." _ The French penal cods, which, sup to the present time, had remained in force in the Rhe'nish provinces of Hesse. Cassel; has been by a' new. German code, which was solemnly promulgated.on the 13th inst.. The collection of works of art left by Goethe, the'Ger man poet, are to be imm e di a t e l y b ro u g h t to public sale. They are said to be of great value, and several German sevens are employed in preparing the catalogue. The Viyie de l' Ouest gives the following account of an occurrence near Newfoundland :—" For many years past, when fish began to get scarce at Newfoundland, both the English and French fishermen have been in the habit of fishing off the little island called Belle-Isle, which was considered neutral ground. This year our fishermen were as usual fishing quietly at this spot, when an English corvette perceiving them, sent a boat to plant the. British flag upon the island, and then insolently or dered our fishermen to leave, threatening to fire • upon them in the event Of refusal. _This. hew act of English piracy has been communicated by - Capt. Collet, of the brig Hippolyte-Marie, which has just arrived at La Ro chelle from Newfoundland." A-Bayonne correspondent writes to the Memorial Bordelais The opposition -journals have made Spain a terrible residence for the French. Being accused of tliC pi-est:tat evils in ,the country, they cannot pass along the high road Without liability to the vengeance of the exasperated people. In the Tertullias, coffee-houses, and all other public places, nothing iesheard but impreca tions against the French. The Spaniards say, .there can be no doubt' of the connivance of the French Govern ment at the aetssof the insurgents, since the French journals t hemselves - announce the fact.' " A letter frotre-WarsaW states that .an Ukase has been published; ordering that all accounfs Poland shall be kept in Russian money, and that i _the Russian silver rouble shall be the standard of the '4.irelilating mediUm. A young idiotic girl of Felletin, in the Ceeuse, being . a few day s ero left in a loft, amused herself with igniting a number of eheinieal nro c h e s, and thereby set fire to quantities o f straw and brdom.

" We a re expressl authorised to declare publicly," says the Jot erna l des Debuts, " that the words attributed to Maria Ch r i s ti na in the despatch sent b y the Spanish Minister to General Alcala, have already been formally disavowed by the Queen, and that this disavowal has been addressed to M.

Correctional Tribunal, and sen t ence d- one to e i g h teen ' months' imprisonment, and the other, under circum stances which made his delinquency extremely light, to th,s same penalty, for only five days. The Procureur du Roi, conceiving their punishments inadequate, laid an appeal before the Cour Royale, which was heard yester day, and dismissed. R eso d }Lying, in consequence of the appeal; been detained in prison forty instead of five days, was immediately discharged. Robberies continue to be committed in several of the villages round Paris. A few evenings ago s o me thi eves attaced a female servant in the garden of a house at Ivry, and, before she could get within doors, succeeded in carrying off some silver spoons. An attempt was made by two men the following day to break into the chateau of Madame du Cayla, at St. Ouen, by forcing the shut ters of a ground floor room ; but a gardener hearing the noise came to the spot, and the men, taking to their heels, effected their escape across the park. The Courrier Francais says :—" As certain acts of the French Government are not in:accord with its official declarations, it is our duty to notice the contradiction. The Minister of the Interior will, without doubt, think it necessary to explain the following circumstance. An inhabitant of the Basque provinces, Munagorri, had, in the name of Maria Christina, urged the peasants to revolt ; pursued and hard pressed, he took refuge in France. The Commandant of Behobia, upon his ap plication, gave a permission to go to Bayonne, to present .himself to the Sub-Prefect, M. Ernest Leroy. Muria- ,gorri did nut remain long, but returned to Spain, where he met with his death. The Spanish Consul at Bayonne, having learned that Munagorri had seen the Sub-Prefect, and been left at liberty to set out - again, demanded ex ,planations. M. Leroy being pressed to send this parti san of Maria Christina, said he had made his escape un known to him. The-Consul-was 'bound to believe the ; word of a man who represented the -French Govern ment, but the Sub-Prefect did n•ot speak the truth. On .stripping the. body of Munagorri there was found upon him a passport, signed by M. Leroy, and bearing the stamp of the Sub-Prefecture. This passport, which is ,for Spain,- is written at the foot of the permission which Munagorri had received from the commandant of Be lobia to enter Franco. We have touched it with our hands,. and seen it with our eyes. Nothing short of that would have induced us to give credit to a fact which im peaches the honour of the French Government. It is said that 3,000 muskets have been sent , publicly from Ba yonne to Bilbao. We do not affirm this, for we' are unwilling to add anything to the grave accusation which we have made." The Commerce says —" A movement of concentration .by several regiments is taking placo towards the Spanish frontier. Orders have been forwarded from the Minister of War to the Lieutenants-General of the 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th military divisions, to send a portion of their ,disposable_ troops towards Perpignan." " We are positively informed (says the Constitutiimnel) that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador, has delivered to our Government a note, • strongly complaining of the conduct of the Spanish refugees resident at Paris and Bayonne, and requiring that such of them as are known to be instigators of the revolt in Spain, and members of different Committees formed for that purpoSe, be expelled from France. We are not yet made acquainted with the answer of our Ministers ; but it is asserted that orders have been given for removing all the . Spaniards who are at Bayonne, and marked as ardent partisans of Queen Christina, into the interior of the kingdom. This ac count is scarcely in accordance with the declaration of her Majesty, made public through the letter of M. Olo zaga ' • but that Ambassador a pp ears t o b e so we ll in formed of the projects of the frequenters of the Hotel in the Rue de Courcelles, that we have reason to confide in the veracity of the facts we relate." The 67th Regiment of the Line, which had recently an ived at Lyons, has been ordered from that city to Perpignan. The e responsible editor of the Pays, a Radical Journal of Auch, in the Gers, has just been tried by the Court of Assizes at that place, for an article on the census. He has been found guilty, and sentenced to six months' im prisonment, 5001. fine, and 1,200 f. damages, to tha Mayor and Deputy-Mayors of Auch. The Impartial of Besancon relates, that in the night of the 13th instant an attempt was made on the life of the Cure of La Riviere, in the Doubs, by a sort of in fernal machine, formed of a beech billet made hollow, closed at each end with pieces of iron, and filled with gunpowder and pieces of lead closely raMmed . in. At a touch -hole made with a small girnblet was placed a piece of lighted tinder, calculated to burn down to the powder in a given time. This destructive weapon was placed at the window of the Cure's bedchamber, and there exploded about twelve at night. The missiles, instead of striking direct at the bed as intended, went up to the ceiling, and thence fell, some on the bed and others on the floor, but none touched the d es ti ne d o bj ec t. T wo men, respect able inhabitants of the commune, with whom the Cure had had differences, are in custody under strong suspi cion of being the perpetrators of this culpable act. The Liberal du Nord of Douai announces that a meet ing of the sugar manufacturers of the Nord and the Pas de-Calais, was held three days ago at the Hotel de Flandre, in that town, and came to resolutions " for re sisting," it says, " the destructive projects in contem plation of the Government against this branch of na tional industry, the present state of which is by no means prosperous." Our readers will remember the remon strance from the merchants of Havre to the Minister of Commerce on the colonial sugar-trade, drawn up only a few days since. _ An experiment has just been made at Lyons by M. Comaschi, rn aeronaut, with an oblOng-shaped balloon, instead of the pear-shaped ones commonly employed. By judiciously managing, his ballast and valves he was able to profit by several successive currents of wind blo*.sing in different direction% and was able apparently to guide his balloon - with -. facility. No accident took plaCe, and his descent: was - effected with ease. The ends of the balloon were made flexible, and aided bins greatly in his manceuvres. • We are assured that M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambas sador, has delivered to our Government a note in which he vehemently complaini of the conduct of the Spanish refugees residing at Paris and at Bayonne, and that he has required that all those who'are known as instigators of the revolt in Spain, and that the .members of the several Committees found for that purpose shall be expelled from France. We do not yet know what -answer the Ministers may have made to just been note ; but it is sa id th at or d ers h ave been given to send further into the interior the Spaniards at Bayonne, and who are pointed out as the most violent partisans of Queen Christina. This news by no means agrees with the declaration of Queen Christina, rendered public by Mr. Olozaga's letter, but That Ambassador seems to be so well informed of the projects of the frequenters of the Hotel in the Rue d'Courcelles, that we have every reason to believe the accuracy of the facts which we relate.—Constitetionna It is said that M. Olozam ' a has hinted once or t w i ce to the French Cabinet that he was inclined to.ask for his passports. A• Minister said this evening at the . opera that the Government was resolved to give them to him as soon as he should ask for them.-7emps. VOURSE—PARts,: THURSDAY, OCT. 21.

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. Christina 'Munoz has thought proper 'to deny having made the statement with respect to the Spanish insur gents, attributed to her by the Spanish Ambassador. The Court organ, the Debats, says—" We are expressly authorised to declare that the words attributed to Maria Christina, in the despatch which the Spanish Ambassador forwarded t o G enera l Al ca l a, h ave a l rea d y been formally; disavowed by the-Queen, and that this dishvowal has been addressed to M. Otozarra himself by her Majesty's Secre t.ary."—Now it fitly be that there was a slight inaccuracy in a phrase of':(3lozat,),-a's report, but we are confident the, substance was clitite correct. Christina takes objection to " words," not to theirgeneral purport. Weighed against the statement s :of an Ambassador officially made, even Louis Philippe must hold the contradiction , of such woman as Christina Munoz as dust in the balance. The Debats does not attempt to conceal its disappoint ment &tithe :failure of the Madame Munoz insurrection in Spain. It - says, Espartero reigns in Siiain ;ho is the Government de facto of that unfortunate country. Ile is acknowledged by France, we have received his Ambas sador, and he i§ about to receive ours: Between him and France all is regular, and the law of nations for bids the FreneAi.- Ministry to commit any act either openly or secret4.against the Spanish Government. But the Press has aright to express its opinions, and if it pleased us to avow our good wishes for the success of -the insurrection in Navarre, we should not ask periniS sion of any party. If we , ike our Government, remain faithful to Espartero's alliance, it is through political motives ; but our affection, our preferences, and our principles, are not there. We submit to this alliance, but we do not love it. We would have wished for the happiness of Spain, that the Queen had experienced the same sympathy from the- men whom she loaded with benefits, and who betrayed her. But this treason has succeeded, and - now. conaitutes the Spanish Government The interest of our country obliges us to live in peace with this Government, and we obey. We obey, but like one whose heart is not in accord with his interest. We obey like Spain herself, who roved Christina, and who obeys Esptir .tero."—Thisis at least straightforward. The King of the French would upset the Spanish Government if' he could but yield to the necessity of acknowledging it: The language .of the Debats is a transcript of the thoughts of the King. . , Several telegraphic despatches With news froin • Spain will be found in another part of The Sun. To give the substance of them here would but be to repeat them. A private letter of Thursday afternoon, from Paris, dis tinctly states, '" you may regard the insurrection in , -Spain as at an end." God grant, say we. PUBLIC OPINION. . . The Morning Chronicle makes the following allusions to some remarks made by Lord Stanley in.connection •with the Corn-laws, in his hustings speech at Lancaster: —" There are mistakes of a venial nature which any public speaker may inadvertently commit, for which fair allowance ought to be made. Of such a nature was not the Tamboff affair of. Lord Stanley. The passage of his Lordship's speech at Lancaster is absolutely dis graceful to the nation which suffers such a man to be at the head of one of the most important departments of Government. We deem it our duty to ring that Tam boff case in his ears, to punish him fur the insult he offered to his countrymen, and the disgrace with which he has covered England in the eyes of Europe.. Lord Stanley, from the position he occupies, ought to know something of the agricultural produce which can be obtained on a given extent of territory, , and of the proportion of such produce available for exportation, after supporting its population. It is un pardonably disgraceful in a Secretary of State for the British Colonies to repeat and argue from statements which no British mechanic could utter without being booted down by his associates. The gossiping story of Sir Edwardßaines, that he had been told that 38,000,00.0 quarters of grain had been produced in one year in the Government of Tamboff was bad .enough in all con science. But 'Baron Munchausen' could not have im proved upon. Sir Edward as Lord Stanley did."—This is by no means a solitary instance of Lord Stanley's per 7 version of facts, in order to suit party purposes. He is one of the rashest and most reckless statesmen of the day, exhibiting in this respect a striking contrast to his leader, Sir Robert Peel—a sly, cool, cautious diplomatist of the red-tope school. It will not, we suspect, be long ere the latter will find cause deeply to rue his connection With Lord Stanley. The Times, reverting to the question of bribery at elections, says :—" We' are not disposes to waste our time, or that of our readers, in discussing at any great length the hotly contested question, whether the Con servatives, the Whigs, or the extreme Radicals, were guilty of the most extensive bribery at the late general election. If, indeed, we were obliged to but upon . such n. race, we would back the Whigs. Other parties in the state were fighting for opinions, either of political theory or or moral principle ; but the Whigs fought for dear lire. We admit that a party having quiet possession of power, is generally more prone to negligence and apathy than a party seeking ,to obtain it ; but when a Ministry is in peril of being displaced—when the immediate agony and Terror, of expulsion are upon all their retainers, there is no more of tendency to napping or nodding than in a house whose inhabitants are roused at midnight by afire. The exertion increases with the danger, gout forgets its crutches, and even rheumatism walks erect. That was the situation of the Whigs at the last election."— That the Whigs bribed during . the late elections, we have not the slightest doubt, for they are fully capable of it ; but it is the height of effrontery to compare-their doings in this respect with those of the Tories, who for the last fifty years and upwards—indeed ever since they have been a dominant party in the Statehave been the staunch, unhesitating advocates of bribery and corrup tion in their worst form. Not only have they been thus infamously distinguished; but they have even done their best to reduce bribery to a system—in fact, to legitimate it, as far as they could do so, by their countenance and example. No man ever mentions the word " bribery" without instantly associating it in thought with Toryism. The Advertiser says—" We are at a loss to conceive the immense value of More Church' to a starving po pulation, whose cry is for -bread, unless it be, that as there is no mor e h o p e for-their bodies, their souls should be made, in future, the exclusive care of Government. Haying 'starved them first, it is perhaps the duty of the monopolists to help their victims to Heaven ; but we do not believe that the .Church as by law established,'. will give them any better qualification for passing through the narrow gate,' than by. reducing them , to. a state of poverty, and thus relieving them from any chance of meeting with such difficulties as the rich are' said to encounter on their road to Heaven. • The extension of the Church is not the extension of religious consolation,' but consists chiefly .in giving to the people the luxury of paying parsons, n - ith the privilege of being sent to sleep by the dullness of their orations; The object in building more Chttrches is to provide—not fbr the spiritual, much l ess f or t h e corporeal necessities of the poor—but to supply the temporal wants of the younger sons and distant connections of *aristocratic families."—The clamour for " More Church" is .a cla mour whose meaning will deceive none but the very ig norant or the very credulous. It does not mean more. religion—more charity—more true, Christianity ; but more funds fur the Parsons—more temporal power for the Establishment ! It is a clamour got up by the Church to suit its own interested purposes. It dues not proceed from the community at large—it is not responded to by them. They take not the slightest interest in the cla mour, which begins and ends with, and is exclusively confined to, Mother Church herself. In reference to Lord Alvanley's late pamphlet, the Herald has the following remarks:—" It would be an abandonment of Protestantism in Ireland by the State, to adopt Lord Alvanley's project ; it would be doing evil, that good might, spring therefrom. The essence of the , State- being Protestant, it must be Protestant in all its . essential details. The active principle of Protestantion, in a temporal view, -is antagonistic to Popery ; the State is Protestant, because it believes the doctrines of Popery to be soul-destructive ;. in all its formula this belief is prominently developed. Protestantism, in it s se p ara ti on, from the Romish Church, has. indeed no other founda tion, and unless - it adheres to this great principle of ac tion, the Reformation was accomplished in vain. A Pro testant State cannot re-connect. itself with Rome, until Rome, to use Archbishop . Laud's. memorable expression, be other than it is.' " The Post contains the following remarks.—" From the sentiment 3 which we perceive to be avowed by Whig- Radical politicians, it would appear that they look upon the populace as made for their political convenience; and to be,kept under, or inflamed, as may suit their political views. They tell us that the Tories shall be made to . see the folly of which they were guiltrwhen they turned'out the Liberal' Administration whieh'stood between the aristocracy and the popular hatred. - The aristocracy, it seems, are indebted for their safety, - during the last ten years, to the circumstance of the Liberals' being in office. As they had possession of the Government, it was not their interest to kick up a disturbance, of which the natural tendency is to overthrow all government, and, therefore, the populace was kept , down. A truly v i r t uous p o li c y, this ; and very curious indeed is the candour which avows It is the Tories, not the Whig-Radicals, who look upon the populace " as•made for their political convenience," for it was ever the favourite notion of Toryism that the people were- nothing—itself every thing ; and on this notion it has never ceased to act. Those who think that it will now change its nature and enlarge its policy, will have no difficulty in believing th:it the Ethlop can change his skin, and the leopard his spots, or 'any oth er absurdity, no matter how glaring. Speaking of the state of affairs in Canada; the Corentry Herald says : left to themselves, 'Arid to act- upon their own convictions of sound policy, there is no doubt that the questions now agitating in America, and affect ing English interests', would soon be amicably settled by the Governments of the !twocountries. But it happens . that the spirit of independence, so called, which prevails in some of the border States, is almost, if not quite, uncon trolable by the President and the Federal Government. The history of the APLeod case clearly proves, this to - be the fact: Hence it is that without the least inclination' to war on the part of either Government, such an event m ay be forced upon us by the headstrong jealousy, the independence without principle or moderation, which actuates too many of the Republicans." • , - On the question of bribery at elections, the West Briton makes the following remarks :—"The TorieS = complain, but then they seek not to improve . ; they pre- - tend to-lament the abuse, but they reject every proposed remedy.
