TO THE EDITOR OF THE SVIV. SIR—As a very old and steady subscriber to The Sun newspaper, permit me through its widely-circulated co. lumns to offer a few observations on the injurious report that has been propagated regal ding the health of this most favoured summer island. old regime might have gone on in despite of their effemi nate profligacy and corruption, but for " the excess of expenditure over income; 'and economical suffering, p er _ ceived by Wellington at the .beginning of his cam paigns and the reason of his steadfast fortitude, was at the bottom of Napoleon's downfal. But, as our system is unexampled in its magnitude and ramifications, so it is proportionably liable to sudden destruction. Any cause, whether real or imaginary, which should shake credit, would bring on a financial crisis of the most tremendous kind. An internal run, whether from prudent apprehension or from panic fear—whether with or without a foreign drain for gold—could bring the Bank to bankruptcy in a week. A man might rake a fortnight's voyage in his yacht, and find on his return all payment of taxes, rent, and debts suspended, and no dealings going on but for necessaries with the money in hand. The imagination fails to conceive the condition of such a reign of terror. In most previous national convulsions, the luxurious classes were few in number and mixed up in the strife ; the masses were either kept down by force or left in peace to raise their food. When a district was devastated by military li cence, its scattered population were destroyed or driven away, but in other places production of some sort went on, enough to supply the inhabitants of the few towns to whom ancient proscription or modern denunciation left little desire for luxuries. But who can paint the terrors of a time in which the crowded population of our nume rous cities should be without a market for their work, and consequently without the means of subsistence ! Ra venous with hunger—told, as they are even now told, to trace all their sufferings to the coming Government— what could be done ? To feed them, as the Emperors fed the populace of Rome, would be impossible ; equally impossible to preserve order by our small military force ; and though we have great trust in the manliness and ge nerosity of the national character, however coarse its ex ternals, yet if hunger and anger united should stir men to put off their humanity, we believe the sufferings of the country would be as unexampled as its prosperity and power. We are not speaking of such occurrences as likely ' • but there are. elements i n our soc i a l con di t i on to make them at all events possible. The best mode of preventing even their possibility, is to lose no time in restoring our finances to a sound state, and placing our economical system in a healthy condition. The malicious person . who first spread the report that a dangerous epidemic was raging throughout the Isle of Wight was . . . (The rest of the sentence is libelous.) I have just returned with --my son from the Isle of Wight, having made a complete tour of the island. To speak of the natural beauties of the place would be super fluous ; its salubrity :and health-invigorating' breezes are proverbial. Thisl ''-can say, that my own health is recruited, and in the wholesome and hearty-looking faces of the men, and the merry laughing eyes of the women, I see very little proofs of malaria. By advertisement in the papers of yesterday, I perceive that the clergy and other authorities have come forward and denied the statement made by the man to whom I have alluded. Unfortunately, it is as difficult to track the footsteps of a knave as to divine his motives. This, however, I know, that every effort is being made to identify the author of this mean and malicious report. I have little doubt that Ryde will eventually altoge ther eclipse Brighton _and other places along shore. As a watering place it is'unrivalled, society is select, and it is not yet infested with the quackeries and tinseled knaveries that beset the larger fashionable locations. From St. Helen's to the Needles the whole is redundant with the brightest historical associations, and for beauty of scenery unrivalled throughout the British empire. Trusting that the knave who circulated so injurious a falsehood may meet with his reward—l am Sir, your obedient servant, HENRY BRAKING. Royal Albert Saloon. STEAM TO GRAVESEND FROM BLACKWAL L.

The Capital of the Company, subscribed by a numerous and wealthy body of Proprietors, affords ample security for all its engagements, while a rapidly-intreasing Premium Fund lends additional stability to the Company, and gives an earnest of con tinued prosperity. The Company transacts businesi in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. LIFE DEPARTMENT. J. T. CLEMENT, Esq., Actuary. A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a berms to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the coinmencement of new Insu rances • parties now joining will be allowed t o p artici p ate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape.. cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate paymen‘ of the premium for 5001. only.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary . medical practitioner. The proverbial 4... d well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many disease 3, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lung s, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is ne member if society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, or perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, whoa perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tatics, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more freqnently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing . this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

DEATH OF A VETERAN.—For these last twenty years an old man has stood at the gate of Green wich-park, which opens on to Maize-hill, opposite Vanburgh-fields. This venerable centenarian, whose name was William Lucas, expired on Friday morn ing, at a house in Greenwich, at the advanced age of 106 years. Till within these last foir years he occupied his old station at the Park -gate, where he was well known. Ho was one of the crew of the Royal George, and sank in her at Spithead, but, accord ing to his own statement, was washad up through the main hatchway, and saved by one of the numerous boats attending on the melancholy occasion. The deceased had resided upwards of eighty years in Greenwich, and was much respacted by the " College men." THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. (FROM .1 mcstps;ii.) mt '''rrtfritrAsrs .t' ) ' held- L.

The s ectional meetings i , are very thinly attended, the geological section alone is attractive ; and even this department, spangled with the bright stones of Buckland, Sedgewick, Conybreare, and 1)e la Bech, is very far from being crowded. The most interesting and important communication to this section was the paper of Mr. Walker's, the engineer of the Breakwater, who showed that limestone is a very unfit material for the construction of any work lying beneath the low water-mark, as a crustaceous animal (the plius) perforates the stone, and within a short time renders it liable to be washed away by the tidal water. Plymouth Breakwater, a noble work, which has cost the country so much money, is unfortunately con structed of the limestone rock, and Mr. Walker expressed his fears that this great national work, upon which this destructive animal had already committed . its ra vages, must, in the course of 200 years,' be in a great degree destroyed, unless a large sum is annually ex pended in replacing the destroyed stones ; this is an in stance of penny-wise and pound-foolish economy, as the Dartmoor quarries would have supplied ever-enduring granite for this national undertaking. The operations of this little animal has produced Very striking results upon all coasts of a limestone formation, in the deep water which is found in these localities, was stated byllr. Walker to be produced in a great degree by the plius, who, boring into the limestone, honeycombs it, renders it friable, and the tidal action carrying the debris out to sea, the water is considerably deepened, and large inlets formed. The Physical Section, a very.interesting paper, was read upon the action of 414 waves, but the details would not interest your readers. The general meeting of the Association was heldin the evening at the Town hall, which was tastefully fitted up with flags, and every part or the room densely crowded. Professor Whewell presided, and delivered the introductory address. Tlie Marquis of Northampton, Mr. Conybeare, Sir Thomas Dyke Ackland, and Mr. Snow Harris addressed the meeting, but as these so-called philosophers are very fond of praising each other, their speeches are not worth reporting to you. Our business is scarcely begun, but I will write to you each day a sketch of our proceedings. Your obedient servant, A MEMBER. INTERVIEVtirITH THE POPE. FLORENCE, APRIL 211841. —Of our introduction to the Pope, when at Rom I believe I have never written. At our request, the American Consul, who is our highest official character at the Court of Rome, transmitted to the Cardinal of State a note, expressing our desire of a presentation to his Holiness, if the interview would be agreeable. In a few days a reply was received, grant ing the request, and appointing a day for the presenta tion. We were given to understand that it was indis pensably necessary that the ladies of the party should be veiled, and dressed in black, and_they . habited them selves accordingly. A black idreAs coat and shoes are required as ,part of the dresS of'.gentlemen ; and in our proper —oostuine, at 4sl)4Mit•-.44Efa, .o'clock of - the appointed day, we . repaired to the Vatican, which adjoins the Church Of St. Peter. We were received at the door of an ante-chamber by one of the guards in the uniform of the papal court, a unique dress, with black, red, and yellow stripes, which is said to have been designed by Mir'sael Angelo. The guard wore a sword, and loose in his hand a shaft, surmounted with an iron spear and half-moon, the latter somewhat resembling the halbert with inverted edge, Passing into this room, we were met by the Pope's servant in waiting, dressed in black; and here having disposed of our over clothes , we were led by him throug the reception-room into a small apartment beyond, hung round with the portraits of the Popes including that of his present Holiness, Gregory XVI. Here we were to wait until the Pope should be in readiness to receive us, and were re quested to be seated. The whole suite of rooms was plainly and scantily furnished ; the sole furni ture in the reception-room was an ordinary wooden table, standing near the centre of the apartment, upon a carpet about six feet square. The rest of the floor; which was of brick, the usual floor of Italian houSes, was uncovered. In about half an hour after our en trance, the servantreturned;and led the way to the recep tion-room, where we found the Pope standing by the table and partly resting against it. He was clothed in a robe and cassock of white cassimere, the dress of the Cameldulian friars, to which order he formerly belonged. The robe was plain, and buttons down before. The top of his head was covered with a cap of the sau e material with the robe. His dress was evidently not a ftv, and the cap considerably soiled. We were received upon ( ur approach wlth great gra ciousness, and were put at our case by the affability of his manner. Our names and country were made known, and we remained standing directly in front of him. His inquiries indicated. that he was well acquainted with passing events ; he spoke with knowledge of our coun try and its institutions, of the disagreement subsisting between our Government and Great Britain, and the ap parent prospect of a rupture. He inquired in relation to ourselves, of our travels and future destination, and whether we intended' to visit Mount Etna as well as Vesuvius, expressing at the same time a wish that our residence in Rome might prove agreeable, and our anticipations of pleasure be realisedd. I observed that he seldom permitted his eyes to fall uppn the ladies of our party. He related humorous anecdotes of the Carnival that had just passed, and gave us an ac count, in a very lively manner, how the Grand Duke of Austria, at a previous carnival, was pelted on the Corso with confetti, and how with great glee he had retaliated in throwins• great quantities of confetti at his antagonist. We were (retained about twenty minutes, when the Ripe bowed, and we, bowing in return, left the apartment through the door we had entered. During the interview, he continued to hold a gold snuff-box in his left hand, of the contents of which lie made a very liberal use. When animated with agreeable conversation, the coun tenance of the Pope is expressive of great amiableness, but, ordinarily, and particularly in the - service of the cha pel, has a cast of deep solemnity, bordering on melan choly. At such times I have seen tears coursing down the old luau's cheeks. Since our introduction we have met him accidentally in a retired part of Rome ' where,' followed by two servants, he was taking a walk. His car riage, from which he had descended, was standing at a short distance. He had been ill, and I thought bore him self with feebleness. He recognised and kindly saluted us. I have subsequently seen him performing his arduous duties in the interesting ceremonies%f holy week, with a strong and full voice, and a firm step. The Pope must be over seventy, and there are ma n y o f th e Cardinals whom I should think older than himself ; these of course are without hope of the succession. I have never seen a more intelligent, well-looking body of men, and doubt whether there is a council in Europe which embraces more - intellect. —Correspondent New York American. Of the many useful articles exhibited in the Show-yard of the Royal English Agricultural Society, none attracted more attention, or were more generally admired, than two beautiful models exhibited by Benjamin Edginton, 2, _ Duke-street, Southwark, and 208, Piccadilly, London ; one a model of a splendid marquee, which had been more than once honoured by the presence of royalty, and th e 'oth er that very useful article a rick-clot , which completely protected' a rick of hay, with poles and tackle complete. The farmers of Lancashire, with all their natural shrewd ness, have too much neglected the use of this most ne cessary article ; in fact, from its great utility and rea son Able cost, we should say that no man calling himself a farmer should be without a rick cloth. There were also two beautiful little silk flags—a royal standard and union jack, and a circular tent, which we were surprised to find cost so little as Si. Bs., quite an ornament to , any gentleman's lawn.—Liverpool Chronicle, July 24, 1841. The wheat crops on the Wok's from Caistor to Barton, Grimbsy, Lonth, and Hornca.stle, look exceed ingly well, and to all appearance will be very productive. REWARDS TO DESERVING LABOURERS, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester ho noured with her presence the first distribution of prizes, which took place a few days since, of the Chertsey Union Association, for rewarding deserving labourers in agri culture. The Board-room at the Union Workhouse, where the numerous prizes were distributed, was crowded by the principal inhabitants in the neighbourhood. In the course of the day the Duchess was conducted over the house; previously to taking her departure, her lióyal Highness was pleased to intimate her intention of 'be coming the ratrouess of the Institution. COUNTRY. (Abridged from a long, gloomy article in the Spectator.) " Distress" is a word often and easily used without evidence of its existence ; nor can evidence readily be adduced, since no individual has sufficient knowledge of facts to pronounce upon national distress. But on this occasion we have the strongest reasons for believing that very great and general distress does exist in the country ; that millions are subjected to hardships and privations, the nature of which many of our readers cannot even imagine ; and that numbers of persons throughout the entire trading body cannot live upon their income, but must encroach upon their capital, if they have any, and if not, must run into debt. Nor is this surprising. Not to mention the high price of the secondary necessaries, sugar, &c., we have had for some years past a succession of bad harvests, almost doubling the price of corn, com pelling the poor to do without many things, and to stint themselves in all to procure bread, without being always able to obtain even it in sufficient quantity. This limitation of the general means of purchasing among the millions, to almost one article, mu s t h ave affected- the dealers in every other commodity they usually consume, and distressed those trades : the exportation 'of gold fur ther deranged the whole commercial system, and brought many to bankruptcy : the " little wars" that have been waged, or are waging in Canada, South America, Syria, and China, lessened, as Sir Robert Peel truly observed, the demand for our goods in those markets : at home, the unsettled state of politics, coupled with the operation of the other causes, limited the luxurious expenditure of the upper classes ; and from the action and reaction of all these circumstances, the existence of distress might be theoretically pronounced. The deficiency in the revenue is a direct difficulty, Which:must be grappled with ; for it is the point which brought on the battle with the Whigs, and it is in reality the ground on which they intend to base their future operations. If Sir Robert Peel would resort to temporary evasions, they will not permit him ; and the deficiency he has to deal with may be rated at nearly three millions—it may posSibly approach four millions. This the Whigs may point-blank d en y ; t h e T or i es w ill hope against pe : here are the data. Mr. Baring in his Budget estimated the actual deficiency at 2,400,000/. : but part of his statement was founded on a confessedly conjectural account of the East India Company as to the expenses of the China war ; the actual cost of which, at the time spoken of, would probably raise the deficiency nearer to three millions than to any other figure, besides the additional expenses which may yet become necessary. Since then the:revenue has gone on declining : sugar, whose consumption the Tories in the Budget debate reckoned would increase, exhibits a decline of 580,000/. on the year ending in July. Should the harvest be plen tiful, the pressure of the public distress will be lessened, and some stimulus will be given to consumption : on the other hand, corn, which last year yielded nearly 1,200,000/., will produce much less. Should the harvest fail, the general prospect will be lowering enough ; but the importations may still not yield as much revenue as last year. The Corn-law averages would be " worked," and the bulk of the imports pushed in at the shilling duty. Sir Robert Peel may therefore, we repeat, make up his mind to deal with a deficiency of some three mil lions, which a series of unlucky circumstances may carry on towards four millions. How can he meet it ? The chatterers of his party went about saying he would reimpose the postage duties; the Whigs could desire nothing better. The attempt would excite one-half of the country and unite the Op position to a man. The Tory Members for London, Liverpool, and Leeds, with someother commercial towns, must gather under their banner ; other Members would probably absent themselves ; and it is possible the Con servative Premier would be defeated. But if he managed to force the odious measure through the House, what would it give him ? One million; nay, not that, for the expenses of the Post-office have increased by nearly 200,000/., and could not immediately be re duced. If he try to reimpose the House-duty, there is the same risk of defeat, and the same deficiency in the results ; for dear postage and the eld house duty both together would yield little more than two millions, being short by one-third of the suns he requires ; and every Opposition speech would contain the assertion that the Whig Free Trade Budget would have rendered ne v taxes needless. What fiscal ingenuity may devise to take money pleasantly out of people's pockets, we do not know ; we can see but two modes of supplying the defi ciency of the revenue,—a property-tax, with the revision of the Tariff; a revision of the Tariff, broad, bold, but well-considered in itself, and considerate towards exist ing interests, with the reserve of a property-tax should it not succeed in making up the deficiency after a few years' trial. For, pledged as Sir Robert Peel is to protection and the sliding-scale, he cannot deal with many duties • as matters of revenue only ; and the criti cal state of our West Indian colonies, with the nascent speculations in India, called into existence by an act of tardy justice in equalising the duties on their commo, • dities, prevent him from realising all the revenue that could be•reised if we threw our colonies and India over board, and admitted every article from every place at one uniform rate. To effect a masterly reform of our tariff, with a due regard to fair dealing and the interest of all parties, is a matter requiring great practical information, and much consideration on each item ; but there are cer tain broad principles to be steadily kept in view. There ' should be— 1. Duties for revenue, not for mere taxing—none of those petty taxes which cause useless expense in the col lection, great trouble and inconvenience to the importers, very often enhancing the price of materials to the ma nufacturer, and taking money from the trading classes without any public gain.' According to Mr. Porter's evidence before the Committee on Import Duties, 46 ar ticles produced 22,598,0001. out of a revenue of 22,960,0001., the other 362,0001. being drawn from 1,100 articles, some yielding nothing, and 147 yielding, so to speak, a loss ; 5,398/. of drawback being repaid over and above the duty they produced. All these minor articles should be subject to a careful revision, to abolish the duty on all but those which cogent circumstances re quire to be retained. 2. No prohibitions and no encouragement to anything but the general industry of the country. Many agricultural productions are now prohibited by express law—they are forfeited if imported, whilst corn till at nearly famine prices is subjected to a prohibitive duty : many foreign colonial commodities, and some manufactures, are sub ject to so high a tax as to be practically prohibited. All articles of this class must be revised, and a fair rate of duty imposed. 3. Raw materials should be admitted duty-free wherever it is possible without a considerable sacrifice of revenue. 4. The Colonial trade should be placed upon the footing of a coasting trade, and all articles admitted duty-free, so far as our financial necessities will permit. 5. A bold and well-considered reduction of duties should be effected where there is a well-grounded proba bility of an equal or an increased revenue—as in wine, brandy, sugar, timber, &c. 6. If, after two or three years' trial and the practice Of a rigid economy, the income should still continue below the expenditure, recourse must be had to a Property-tax. In dealing with these financial questions, we believe the country—that is, the majority of all classes apart froni mere partisans—are prepared to accept of a fair offer, and do not expect impossibilities. They do not expect Sir Robert Peel to come forward with a proposal for a per-. fectly free trade in corn ; or that the revenue is• to rise to the required amount the moment his measures are propounded. Mere party excitement, or agitation for political changes, has been so prostituted to factious uses, that the thing is worn out. What the country really de sires, is a Government that knows its business and will set about doing it—a Government that will attend to our economical condition, and give free play to the industry of the people and the enterprise of the capitalist. If Sir Robert Peel shall grapple thoroughly and fairly with the great question of Import-duties, the country will not contend for trifles, and will be perfectly willing to give hinitime to await the result of his measures. If, howevei, he shall attempt to evade the subject of Tariff-revision, or be so ill-advised as to peddle with it—to pro duce a measure which fails to satisfy by the breadth of its general plan and by the considerate skill of its de tails—he and his party are lost. We do not say that he will be immediately driven from office ; his numbers. are too strong, and the leaders of the party opposed to him are too much distrusted for that. But his Government will become a weak Government ; the country will shrink from him with disappointment ; his followers will have no confidence in him even whilst he deems that he is lending himself to their purposes ; and his opponents will be emboldened to attack him with pertinacity and lower him by contempt. We are not alarmists, or prone to panic terrors ; but we see that the country is verging to a critical state, when much depends upon treatment whether it shall fall into a financial decline or recover for an indefinite period, Many taxes cannot be imposed, and many, if imposed, would share the fate of Mr. Baring's per centages, and yield about half of their estimated amount. It cannot be too often repeated, that the only measures which pro mise to meet the difficulty are a property-tax or a revision of the imports. Votes of credit, loans, petty schemes of this' and that, with all the arts of brokering financiers, will be useless, whether they be tried by Sir Robert Peel or by his successors some years hence—for if he will not grant those measures now, we see no chance, for some years, of a Ministry strong enough in numerical force and popular sympathies to overcome the Lords. I n the mean time, discredit propagates itself ; capital wings its way from the country, leaving behind. it the artisans it had called into being and congregated together in large masses ; with every decline of our economical well-being there will come a further decline in our revenue, together with a growing financial embarrassment. And whether it be that finan cial embarrasSment is by itself a sufficient cause 'of na tional decline, or as we apprehend, finan c i a l embarrass ment is merely a symptom of oppressive exaction, or of national old age—indicating excess of luxury, the ex tremes of great wealth and suffering poverty, with all out lets for enterprise or industry blocked up—pecuniary dis order, whateVer its shape, has been the forerunner of na tionil decay or national convulsion. The " Les alienum per °lnnis terras ingens" was one of the three reliances of Cataline. The " usura vorax, avidunique in ternpore teems, et concussa tides," are noted by Lucan among the seeds" of the civil war between Caesar and Ponip Financial pressure brought on the de ca y o f Venice, - an e) d the decline of Dutch greatness ; the pecuniary difficulties of Charles.the First was a proximate cause of the' Great : Rebellion; Louis the Sixteenth and the noblesse of the WHAT IS CONSERVATISM ? 'What is Conservatism, is a question which the Times has endeavoured to solve in several long articles. The homely proverb says, much too hardily, it now it appears, " You cannot make a silk purse of a sow's ear ; ' but you may call a sow's ear a silk purse, and then you may set about explaining the qualities and uses of a silk purse, and. wherein it differs from the peculiarities of a sow's ear . ; but no matter how long or how learnedly you lecture to such effect, the thing in your hand will retain its unalterable characteristics, and remain, not a silk purse, but the old original sow's ear. Toryism is not what Toryism was. True, but that does not prove that it has become the Conservatism de scribed by the Times, combining the improvement of what is defective with the preservation of all • that is sound in laws and institutions. The sow's ear severed from the head of the most unclean and stubborn of crea tures is not what it was, the organ of a pig's hearing, but the fact does not advance the argument that its bristles have been changed to silk. The Times asserts that the change of name suffices to show the change of things ' • but the Times might at the Old B a il ey h ave learnt the fallacy of such an inference, there being a Class of persons who change their names because the hands' of justice into which they fall are apt to dirty hem. According to Sir Robert Peers definition of Conser vatism, which The Times accepts, Conservatism seems to us to be merely a longer word for Toryism after the Reform Bill. It is Toryism with a new start—Toryism with a new departure, in nautical phrase. It is pretended that there is this difference between old Toryism and New Conservatism, that the Conserva tives are no friends of abuses, and are prepared to adopt changes which the altered state of society may require. And is it conceivable that any men could make any other professions ? Could they avow themselves attached to abuses ? Could they proclaim a fixed hostility to the changes which the advances of society render necessary? Could they avow the settled purpose to resist improve ment in every form? Could they declare that all exist ing defects in laws and institutions should be held by them sacred and immutable? Imagine Sir Robert Peel in a Tamworth address avowing that he was the founder of a party determined to maintain the vices as well as the sound parts of our laws and institutions, and firmly resolved to resist such changes as the altered circum stances of society may require. There have been Tories who have acted on such a rule, but there never was one, and never will be one, frank enough to make the confession. They can say nothing but what they do say, that where they find abuses they will consent to reform ; but the remarkable fact is, that this Con servative party, in the eleventh year of its age,basneyer yet made the .discovery of an abuse in institutions. It pretends that it differs from old Toryism, inasmuch as it has the perception of what the altered circumstances of society require, but in what single instance has it, sig. nalized its possession of this new faculty, every change effected within the last ten years having been extorted from rafter a strenuous opposition, with the one excep tion, indeed, of the Poor-law, as to which the party was, and is divided, some, with Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington, recognizing in it a change required by circumstances, and others opposing it as an innovation, despotic and unconstitutional in principle, and unjust and cruel in its operation. Now it is fur the Times to explain which of these two divisions are the true Conser vatives, and which the old Tories. The Poor-law is the best test to distinguish the men of the new light from the men of the old Tory blindness, because it is the only change since the Reform Bill in which the leaders of the Conservative party have concurred and cordially co-ope rated. Are then the Stanhopes, Newcastles, and Win chilseas, the Stephenses and Oastlers, the true Conser vatives, or the Wellingtons and Peels ? Sir Robert Peel stands on two legs, and the Times conjures him, for the better security of his footing, to stand upon one, and to cut off the other and cast it from hint ; but which is it to be ? which is the right leg, which the left, of his party ? He has shuffled in his present position by putting forth sometimes the one, sometimes the other, Which limb of the party is to be amputated, the forward or the backward, the violent or the moderate ? Sir Robert Peel is in the predioament of the Malade Imaginaire, advised by his mock doctor to pluck out one of his eyes to improve the sight of the other, and to part with his left arm for the invigoration of the right. He is told that he must adopt the principles of the party which has raised him to power ; but he has been raised by Lord Roden and the Duke of Newcastle, as well as by men who dread their intemperance, and feel ashamed of their bigotry ; and he has been raised by the Duke of Buckingham, with his agricultural mania, as well as by persons who are not prepared to consent to a complete sacrifice of the commercial to the mistaken landed uitb rest. Both have elevated Sir Robert Peel to his position, and which is he to throw down, in token of his adopted policy ? The Times tells him that he can afford a rupture, in words Nthich seem to us to have the import of—" So much for Buckingham." The most difficult task for Sir Robert Peel, if he strictly follow the advice of the Times, will be the politi cal regeneration required of himself. Sir Robert Peel is, in fact, not to be Sir Robert Peel. The Sir Robert Peel of 1841 is to be the opposite in conduct of the Sir Robert Peel of 1829. He must renounce himself, and all his shifts. The Times, an excellent teacher of such things, plainly tells him that he must become a man of principle and consistency. Principle and expediency are, henceforth, according to the same authority, to have their separate provinces in the Tory policy, that is to say, there will be no principle in their expediencies, and no expediency in their princi ples. Sir Robert Peel's Government is to act on inexpe dient principles, and unp r i nc ipl e d expedients. By the latter the commercial and fiscal policy is to be conducted. —Examiner.

The cause of this dismissal , the ' and the name of new Prefect , d etermined th e M un i c i pa l C ounc il to resign, but it consented to cont i nue i ts funct i ons d ur i ng a certain time, in order to give the Prefect time to form another municipality . B ut on the sth the p re f ec t wro te to the Mayor, d ur i ng the sitting of t h e M un i c ipal Council at nine in the evening, a letter, of which the terms , aggra vating for th e responsibility of the administration, were such, that the municipality resigned altogether and im mediately. .0n the 6th a Provisional Municipality was formed, according to the law of 1831, and three of the . councillors consented to accept the painful mission. Im mediately the Commander put his force at the disposal of the civil authorities, and measures of precau tion were taken, there being no doubt that crowds would collect before the Prefecture with demonstrations of opposition, which hitherto had proceeded no farther than IL malicious serenade. These provisions were jus tifie3. - The crowd was immense. Yet the Prefecture was protected. There were hissings, hootings, and cries ag ainst the Prefect , but without m enace or aught of serious hostility. The provisional Magistrates were on the place to direct the employment of the armed force. There was difference of opinion between it and the Prefect. The latter thought the crowd and cries to be insultin g to his o ffi ce, and wanted to have t h e crowd dispersed . The Provisional Magistracy, on the contrary, thought that the crowd should be per minded to withdraw withotlt violence, and it objected to any • legal surainda to withdraw, as indicating the immediate employm en t o f force. At eleven o'clock the crowd dispersed, and without accident. The Fame day died General Cassagne, an old Municipal Councillor and ex-Colonel of the National Guard. ,At the demtend of the Colonel of the National Guard, the Provisional Mayor summoned the National Guard to at• tend the fueeral on the evening of the next day, the 7th. At two o'clock on the 7th the Prefect wrote to the Pro visional Mayor. forbidding him to take any engagemen I for convoking the Guards, because he had learned that the Guards after the funeral, intended coming to him, the Prefect, with - offers . of support . for thee evening. At• five o'clock the Prefect having read in:the papers the convocation of the National Guards for the funeral, wrote a second letter to the Mayor. formally prohibiting the convocation of the Guards, and Saying, that he had been deceiVed. The Mayor replied. imme diately to the two letters, explaining the' simple reason of the convocation, and defending its legality, at the same time alleging that it was wrong to suspect the National Guards, as' well as to address the -- provi sional Magistrates in • terms so unwontedly impolite. The Prefect insisted on the convocation of the National Guard being instantly counter-ordered. It was too late to do this by letter, but one of the Provisional Council went round, and gave notice and explanation of' the counter order. This, of course, increased the obloquy of the Pre fect and the exasperation against him. At seven in the evening of the 7th the troops were stationed in the Place of the Prefecture. The crowd was immense. Cries of ' Down with Mahul !' were frequent and loud. The soldiers advanced to remove the crowd, when stones were flung, and it became difficult for the troops to overcome the resistance. The lamps were broken, and the crowd, driven back, repaired to the Hotel of the Procureur-General. There, too, pre cautions gf defence had been made. The troops were then ()bitted to be employed on different points, and there ensued some isolated instances of collisions. But the mass of the citizens did not fling stones, and the great body of the troops remained tranquil. In the hinder ranks alone the soldiers received blows and returned them. The crowd dispersed at midnight, and the provisional Magistrates published a proclamation next morning. On the Bth the Prefect also published It proclamation in which he attributed the disorders to an error in the execution of the law, an error by which the disaffected prefited, but added that in his hands still re. posed the tranquillity of the city. This proclamation produced a bad effect: It attributed the troubles to * wrong'motive, displayed the dissidence between Pre fect and Municipality, and arrogated to the fon:Jet the preservation of tranquillity, Which belonged by right to the Municipality. The Municipal Councillor went to the Prefecture and asked the Prefect to convoke and unite them in asseinbling. He explained their reasons in a letter. The Prefect replied by a verbal refusal. The discontent continued, and the crowds gathered again. A barricade was erected at the gate of St. Etienne, but was easily occupied any: destroyed by the troops. It was said that the !at ter entered several houses and made some arrest This %vast denied by the police. On the 9th the P'rel'ect published another proclamation, announcing that the last evening was more tranquil than former ones. It stigmatised the last resistance as a revolt against the law. The provi sional magistracy also published a proclamation. Rain preventecfany crowd's on that night. The press, of course.. gave accounts of all these events, and mentioned the acts of violence attributed to the military, near the gate bp St. Etienne. Some officers of artillery went to the office of the paper, and menaced to beat the edit ors , The Prefect wrote to the Mayor, with the copy of an anonymons letter, announcing that a 7110VCIlle3et wtea preparing in the interior of St. Etienne, and that the National Guard were disposed to take arms, At eiglo o'clock on the same evening, the Prefeet announced t L ie e the head-quarters of the troops had b een tramp-hi- e ' d to the Prefecture. Against this the' Provisie';; trates protested. The Press matall' . : next day, and .the irritation of ;is knoWn'loinagthise h one citizens increased. They returned to the Geuee: u f • r i o o n fro th m e promised that no Tfnhr ther provocation come .l ' fur ther passed quief,e y. But on the 12th it was easy per ceive that an enteral* was at hand. The artisan ' qu o itted work, and from other symptoms the municipality warned the troops. The shops shut, the streets filled. Barricades were erected, - and stones flung against' the Prefecture. The officers of the National Guard, but not in uniform, went to the Prefect and asked him to convoke the guard. He assented, and at sun-set the National Guard 'mus tered in the place and occupied the posts in conjunction with the line. Groups then surrounded the prison where those arrested on the previous days were confined. Their liberty was :demanded, but the detachment of the National Guard refused. Reinforcements were sent in, and for a time the people desisted. But towards half -past eleven the post was forced, and the door of the prison assailed with a lever. The pro visional Mayor instantly r e p a i re d t hi ther with a stong escort, just as the door was breaking open, and he prevailed on the assailants to desist. This was the last act of violence of the evening, a man having been previously killed on the Place St. Etienne. On the morning el the .13th the crowd was greater • than ever, and more menacing. The whole population, male and female, was on foot. New barricades arose, and the general cry was against Mahul. His departure could. alone restore tranquillity. The telegraphic line was in terrupted.' M. Mahul at length declared to the general that he would withdraw. This was announced by pro clanitttioe. M. Mahul departed. The National Guard was under arms.

IT AL REVENGE.IAN I A shocking occurrence took place on Tuesday morn ing week, at the house of Luigi. Ginochio, an Italian, re siding in Circus-street, in this town. It appears that there lodged with Ginochio two other Italians, Geronimo Capello and Antoni Tuscano, street organists, who slept together in the same bed. These two had recently a dispute together about some money, but we have not been able to learn the particulars . On the night o f Mon day, the 12th inst., Tuscano went to bed about eleven o'clock. He felt his bed-fellow lie down beside him some time after, and he then fell asleep. It would ap pear that about three, or between that and four o'clock, Geronimo Capello arose, procured a quan tity of boiling water, and threw it over the face and breast of his sleeping countryman. The poor fel low was dreadfully scalded. He was carried to the In firmary, where but faint hopes were entertained of his recovery. On Saturday week he was considered in such imminent danger that it was deemed necessary to take his deposition, as that of a man sensible that he was in the extremity of dang er. His depo s iti on , w hi c h was given through the meium of Mr. Dowling, who acted as interpreter, was delivered in nearly the following terms :—" I lodged at the house of Luigi Ginochio, in Circus-street. Geronimo Capello lodged in the same house, and slept in the same bed with. me. On Monday night, the 12th instant, I went to bed at eleven o'clock. Capello was at that time in the room below. • I fell asleep, and awoke when Capello came to bed. I felt him but I did not see him. I fell asleep again. Capello must have got up about three o'clock. The first thing I felt was hot water thrown over me. I started up and followed the man who threw it down stairs. He was in his shirt. I followed him down to the parlour, where I felt as if I was d y i ng, an d could go no further. As I. was pursuing him I saw him throw away a knife or a dagger. As I went I said, ' What for have you mur dered me this' way for nothing ?' He made no reply. We lad a dispute lately about some money."—Capello was brought up again on Saturday last. • The report from the Infirmary was, that Tuscano was still in great dan ger. The prisoner was further remanded. Tuscan°, died on Monday in the Infirmary in consequence of the in juries he had received. An inquest was held the same day before P. F. Curry, Esq. Several witnesses were exa mined, but their testimony did not throw much additional. light on the affair. Mr. Thomas Brandreth, House Sur geon of the Infirmary, said the deceased was brought there on the 13th instant. He was severely scalded on the face, neck, breast, arms, abdomen, and thighs. Every at tention was paid to him. He died yesterday about th ree o'clock. o'clock. I was present when the deposition of the decea s e d . r of lan guages,he was dying.

THE SPECTATOR AND THE WEEKLY CHRO NICLE.—In the last number of a Sunday newspaper, the. avowed proprietor and editor of which is Mr. G. H. Wart?, M.P. for Sheffield, an article appeared, plainly purporting to be from Mr. Ward's pen, in continuation of a long series of attacks on the character of this journal as an opponent of the Whig Government ; but surpassing most of the previous lucubrations of the same writer in scurrillous abuse, and indulging in personal imputations of a kind rarely resorted to in political warfare or party wrangling. It has ever been our rule, and we hope it may be added, our invariable practice, to preserve the pages of this journal from the advocacy of mere personal interest, or quarrels either aggressive or defensive : and when we notice Mr. Ward's grossly indecent conduct in. the present instance, lest that might be supposed to de rive countenance from our silence, it is only to say that the whole tissue of his statement—in its aim and t r a . deney—in its direct chazges and indirect insinuatifts— take, must be th roug h another medium than the shall is false.
