HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TOMORROW Dlerning..... 7 minutes attar 6 I Ev,tung 23 mutates after 6. zbe g ffi, nit. LONDON: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1341. It is c ear, from past experience, that union is necessary to enable the people to obtain re dress from the aristocracy. On this account we regret that there should have been an interrup tion to the unanimity of the meeting held in Southwark yesterday, even more than we re joice in the great number of per,sons assembled, and in the powerful speeches which were ad dressed to them. The meeting will, notwith standing this drawback, have an excellent effect throughout the country. If there were at present the least chance of uniting the bulk of the people in favour of the Charter, we should have no objec tion to pursuing that object ; but there is not ; while, as the bulk of the Chartists are favourable to the repeal of the Corn laws, there is a great probability, by using common discretion, of being able to unite all classes for its attainment. We cannot, therefore, too strongly reprobate such attempts as were yester day made at Southwark to thrust in on meetings, having for their object the removal of comtner , cial restrictions, including the Corn-laws, reso lutions for the promotion of the Charter. They only serve to defeat the purpose of the Chartists, They nourish the arrogance of the aristocracy by at once convincing them that they have nothing to fear. We must add that this conduct on the part of the Chartists is heartless and cruel to their suffer ing fellow-workmen in the manufacturing dis tricts. It is but too clearly and too abundantly proved, that thousands of human beings there are reduced to the last extzemity of want. It is sup posed, asserted, and, we b e li eve, demonstrated, that the total and immediate repea l o f all the would give i mme di ate relief starvat i o n laws, to them. Employment and f oo d would both be i n stantly obtainable. Th a t hu mane and noble end can, however, on l y b e reached justice can only be wrun g n. from th e bread-taxers —by a union of the suffe r ing people. Under these circumstances a few crot c h ety or misled Chartists, or unfeeling leaders w h o consider only their own ambitious purpo ses , present themselves a t all meetings, and, with a wicked, dog-in-the -manger spirit, prevent their fellows from Totting food, because they cannot immediately get the suffrage. The injustice of the aristocracy i s great, but the heartlessness and cruelty of these meddling Ch artermonger s are , t o th e public and to their own at: Irving fellow-creatures, quite as injurious. Following out these remarks, we repeat that t! :ere is no hope for the people but in combina tion. Manchester has done well, South ivark Las followed its excellent example, Glas gow is about to imitate, and, we hope, surpass it, . but these few meetings are not enough. Meet ings must be held all over the country, and the procrastinating, cunning Premier, who evi dently designs, by the slow but effectual means - of penury and starvation to crush for ever the now humbled spirit of tine people, and so be enabled to curb and drill them after the true Tory fashion —the cunning Premier must be at once convinced that his designs are seen through,. And 'that the people will not be con ducted by the painful process of a winter's star vation to - ..the Tory goal of perpetual tyranny. The mis cellaneous estimates were voted last night withc ut much opposition. Air . CRAWFORD divided the House on going into Committee, on the ground that the public distress should be in quired into. Mr. WILLIAMS divided the Com mittee on the vote of money for secret service, but in general the Members on the Opposition side agreed with the Ministerialists in disregard ing the embarrassed state of the finances and in voting away the public money. Grants for Schools of Design suit Mr. WILLIAMS'S consti tuents, and Mr. EWART'S opinions. Dr. Bow- RING likes exploring, and therefore, the Niger Expedition has his approbation. Grants for aiding the opulent inhabitants of towns to pro vide public walks for themselves and the poorer classes are agreeable to Mr. BROTHERTON'S benevolent disposition. Such votes as these, thyrefore, met with the support of these gentlemen. We object to these grants, that they are bad as an .example, and bad in principle. If the Government must promote a knowledge of design, and provide public walks, why should it not promote agricul ture by a Corn-law, and civilisation by enrich ing the land-owners, raising them, end, by their example, stimulating others to rise ? We know that this is said in favour of Corn-laws. Either these soi disant Liberals, therefore, have no cor rect conception of the principles on which alone Corn-laws can be resisted and overthrown, or they heedlessly sacrifice the great cause in which they pretend to be engaged, in order to gratify their whims or personal feelings. The demand for money to provide schools of design and pub lic walks in manufacturing towns, which the in habitants ought to provide for themselves, is a quasi justification of that protection which is de manded and obtained by the rent-owners. The Tories, after worrying the Irish, and har rassing the Ministers with monstrous accusations of wholesale perjury and Registration Bills, :o disfranchise nearly all the Catholics, seem to repent them of their iniquity. At least, Sir ROBERT PEEL, last night, very coolly threw his Noble Friend's (Lord STANLEY) Registration Bill under the table. -The Noble Lord will probably be too busy as KING of the Colonies, and too happy in his diligence, to care about Irish Regis tration Bills; and the task, therefore, of annoy ing the Irish will henceforth be consigned to the meaner hands of Mr. E. TENNANT and Mr. Ser geant JACKSON. The accusations of perjury have attained the object proposed, by making them contribute to carry the Tories into office, and the sooner and the more completely, they are forgotten by the party the more agreeable. Will the Times be silent? It has proclaimed aloud, over and over again, that the perjury in Ireland is a most crying evil. It has demanded, over and over again, that it be redressed. How will it like the cool manner in which the new Pre mier throws aside Lord STANLEY'S Bill and its violent tirades? We read at the top of one column of a news paper " ATTEMPT to ASSASSINATE one of the SONS of LOUIS PHILIPPE," and we read at the top of another column of the same paper, " ROYAL PASTIME—GRAND SHAM FIGHT IN THE HOME PARK." So reading, the thought immediately arises by that familiar and yet incomprehensilAe principle of suggestion, that these two events, and all similar events, are connected with each other. We ask how that can be ? Those who draw the sword, we are told by high authority, shall perish by the sword, and in confirmation of that, we see that class which engages in war, and which familiarises the minds of- men with deeds of violence and bloodshed, by even getting up mock wars for their amusement, exposed to the assassin's ball. Louis PHILIPPE, like other Royal persons, sometimes indulges in the pastime of mock wars, while the son who was shot at has just returned from sharing in real contests in Africa, including those barbarous razias for which the French warfare in Africa has been so murderingly notorious. Now it very naturally suggests itself to those who, from political or other causes hate Louis PHILLIPE, that if he may use bloody violence to get rid of his enemies, so may they. The very sight of a sham fight, in which men pretend to pistol or sabre each other, would suggest the diabolical thoughts of using the same means to take revenge. Between the business pursuits of warrior Princes and their amusements, and the violence with which they are assailed, there is a close connection, and to avoid the assassin's ball, they should abstain as much as possible from actual warfare, shudder ing, rather than gazing with pleasure at, those mock scenes of strife which are suggestive of deeds of violence and bloodshed. We have been again assured by the Post, that the new Ministry will adapt their conduct to the wants of the age, and will do what circumstances and events require. Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is ac cordingly supposed, has put off till February his explanation of what he will do, in order to as certain what the people will demand. He wishes to learn by experience how the nation will bear his rule, before he states whether he will make large concessions, or govern with a strong hand. If the public, between this and February, dis play much res?ect for Tory domination, a readi ness to yoke themselves to the Tory chariot, and if the Right Hon. Baronet finds continued sup port in the country, he will make no concessions. He will then conclude that circumstances do not require them, and he will maintain all the mono polies and abuses he was carried into office to maintain. If the public, however, or a large part of them, betray continued impatience under Tory rule—if commerce does not revive—if the Anti-bread taxers increase in numbers and importunity—if distress and discontent increases—if insurrection against the bread taxers be threatened—the Right Hon. Baronet will then inform his rent-owning colleagues that he cannot with safety maintain the Corn-laws, and he will make some concession, though as little as possible, to satisfy the people. He puts off acting till next spring, in order to learn what he must do. He has no definite course of policy marked out, and, therefore, he is not prepared to state what he will do. He must gain time, not to mature any measures, but to see what the public will require. With all the cir cumstances of the country—with the amount of expenditure and revenue—with the effects of the Corn-laws—he is as well acquainted now as he will be in February; but he does not know how little or how much will satisfy the people. While he and his friends pretend to make light of public opinion, they closely consult it, in order that they may always be ready to give way when it becomes dangerous to resist. Placed in office to resist the demands of the people he will fulfil that condition. He postpones all permanent legislation, that he may be able, in the mean time, to consolidate his Government, and resist, in behalf of the monopolists, the demands of the people as long as possible. To beguile the people, is, we believe, the chief object Sir R. PEEL has in view by the delay. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all reached us, with Madrid Papers of the 12th inst. They contain no news which was not anticipated in our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. The following extracts from them are all that remain to be noticed : The Temps announces that searches were made yester day at the shops of the dealers in arms to ascertain whe ther the regulations are executed, and if the barrels of the fire-arms are dismounted, &c. In these visits seve ral sword-canes were seized. Positive information was received on the 16th at Grenoble, not only that the census h a d b een resume d at Saint Barnet, without difficulty, but that the doors of the houses had been opened to the tax-collectors. The writs for the arrest of the instigators of the resistance made on the ;,first day, to the controller have been executed. Twelve persons have been arrested and conveyed to the pris -on of Gap. Others have fled to avoid falling into the hands of justice.—Le Constitutionnet The Emancipation of Toulouse of the 16th says— " Yesterday our garrison was under arms in the bar racks, where all necessary . preparations were made to put our city in a state of siege; all the posts were dou bled. It is probable that these arrangements will be con tinued to-day. Our population has remained calm amid all these demonstrations, which it attributid to serious news received at the Prefecture." The census has commenced at Cascapare. It is expected that the inhabitants of that town will close their doors, as those of Toulouse did. Several persons who were arrested in the late assem blages, have been set at liberty.—Le Commerce. On the Plairte de Chalillon, near Paris, there are seve ral old quarries still leftopen, though no longer worked. Two days ago, M. 1). of Paris, who, had been out early shooting, finding himself fatigued, lay down on the grass, with his gun and his gamebag by his side, and, falling asleep, did not wake till the sun was going down. On rousing himself, his first thought was to take up his gun and bag, but to his astonishment they were both gone, and he soon also ascertained that his watch and money had been stolen from him. As he was about to return home, and reconcile himself as well as he could to his loss, he perceived that he had been lying near the mouth of one of the deserted quarries, with the ladder or steps still standing. On looking down, something glittering struck his eye, and, braving all danger, he descended ; and found his gun and bag. Con cluding that they were left there by the thief, until he could remove them under cover of the darkness, M. 1). resolved to lie in wait for him. The sun was now down, and soon afterwards a man with cautious step approached the quarry, and prepared to descend. The gallant sports man rose from his lair, and levelling his piece at the rogue overawed him, and made him march forward to the nearest Magistrat-, who, after having the fellow searched, and recovering M. I).'s watch and part of his money, sent him to the Prefecture of Paris. The Ami de la Charte of Cletmont informs us that a female who was crossing a street in that town during the firing of the 11th. was killed by a stray ball. The Moderateur of Mons gives the following account of a deplorable accident:—" On Saturday M. A. de Rouille, son of the Senator, was out shooting near his father's seat at Armeignis, when, in drawing his fowl ing-piece by the muzzle through a hedge, the gun went off, and the charge not only carried away his ear, but se veral of the shot are supposed to have penetrated to the brain and placed his life in imminent danger. His bro ther Ademar, who was in advance of him, narrowly escaped receiving part of the charge in his back, but happily only four or five of the shots lodged in his hat." The sloop Ville de Rouen, which arrived yesterday at Havre from Rio de Janeiro, brings word of a disas trous event, in which ore of our whalers had the good fortune to save the lives of 180 English. EX PRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. Accounts from Paris of Monday state that the funds still continue to improve. This circumstance was ascribed to the absence of haste observable in the terms fixed by the Minister of Finance for his proposed loan, and to the perfect indifference with which the proceed ings of the disaffected were viewed by the public. No erneute occurred in Paris on Sunday night. It would appear that the rumour that the assassin Quenisset was giving information was incorrect. The Quotidienne states that the infante Don Juan, second son of Don Carlos, bad fallen from his horse at Salzburg, and broken his arm. The Prince, however, was doing well. As soon as his arm be completely well, he is to leave for Switzerland, with his brother Don Fernando. Prince George of llanover had returned to the capital from Norderney, where the sea-bathing had done his Royal Highness , much good.

The Court was opened this morning at the usual hour (ten o'clock), but was unable to proceed to business, in consequence of the non-attendance of any of the Aldermen. After the Court had waited for about three quarters of an hour, Alder man Sir George Carroll entered, and on taking his seat, said he begged to inform the Court and the Jury that it was not by any neglect of his that the Court had been kept waiting. He had been in attendance in the other Court since nine o'clock, and was not aware of the absence in this Court of his brother Aldermen. He thought it right to state this, in order that the onus should fall on the right shoulders. On a similar occasion, some time ago, when he was in attendance in the other Court at the usual hour, he had been charged by the newspapers with neglect of duty in not attending. It was past eleven o'clock before the business of the Court commenced, Sir George Carroll being the only Alderman in attendance at that time. NEW COURT.. (Before the C031310N SERGEANT.) A considerable time elapsed before the Court could proceed with business, in consequence of the absence of an Alderman.. Mr. :Alderman Pirie having at length entered the Court, and apologized for delaying the business, Mary Anne Epps was placed at the bar on an indict ment charging her with stealing 30 yards of ribbon, the property of William Kingston. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's as sistant, that the prisoner came into the shop and bought a piece of ribbon. The witness missed two pieces of ribbon, one of which he afterwards found in one of the drawers ; but on the prisoner leaving the shop he laid hold of her, and then saw the article named in the in dictment lying at her feet. Mr. CHAMBERS appeared for the defence, and cross examined the witnesses at great length. The Jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, and a former conviction having been put in against the prisoner, The Com, sentenced her to be transported for seven years. _ _ - John Clifford was brought up for judgment, on a charge of riot and assaulting the police in Copenhagen fields. Some extenuating circumstances having appeared in favour of the prisoner, The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced him to two months' imprisonment. John Lowe was indicted for stealing a truss of hay, the property of James Carter, his employer. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was sent to sell a load of hay in Smithfield, and took the truss to feed his master's horses, instead of which he sold it to a greengrocer, named IJ-dale. 'The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, accompanied with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground of his long servitude with the prosecutor. The COVMON SERGEANT said .he considered the grounds on which the Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy should rather act as an aggravation of punish ment, for few crimes called more loudly for reprobation than an old servant, in whom confidence had been placed, acting dishonestly towards his employer. The farmers in the neighbourhood of London suffered much from persons such as the prisoner, who, besides being dis honest, acted also with cruelty towards the unfortunate animals under their care. He should sentence him to six months imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner, who was a very from the dock. old man and quite deaf, was removed THE SUN, LONDON., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 211 1841• SPAIN.

The Nationul of Saturday was seized for an article on the present disturbed state of France. The Presse very properly condemns this proceeding on the part of the. French Government. The Ministers have their own Journals all ready to correct the misrepresentations of the Opposition ; and, by seizing such papers as the National, they only tacitly. acknowledge the inability of the Government to controvert their statements. Be sides, by seizing a Paper for the falsehoods contained in one article, they indirectly bear evidence to the truth of the contents of every_ Journal not seized. This is what constitutes the dangerous influence of the French Oppo sition press. The French Government has authorized the raising of one-third of the loan of four hundred and fifty millions of francs (18,000,000`d.), granted by a Bill of the Cham bers in the last SeSsion. The decree of the Finance Minister, regulating the terms for raising the present instalment of one hundred and fifty millions of the loan (6,000,0001.), will be found at length in another part of The Sun. There can be no doubt that the French Government, in selecting such a time for raising the loan, seeks to convince Europe that its credit is not lessened by the emeutes and the attacks upon the dynasty of July. A secondary object is doubtless to throw some capital into the market now drained by - the rising of the fortifications of Paris. The disorders in Paris continued on Saturday night, and it was expected that they would be renewed on Sun day and Monday. On Sunday the number of persons arrested was 120. At seven o'clock the streets in St. Martin and St. Denis were filled with rioters, and all the shops were closed. Considerable resistance was offered to the National Guards and the police, but by eleven o'clock order was restored. The Spanish Government recently made an offer to that of Portugal of 6,000 Spanish troops to quell the Mizuelite insurrection in the Algarves. This offer has been declined, greatly to the annoyance of the Regent, who regards the refusal as dictated by the partisans of Queen Christina in the Portuguese Cabinet. It was rumoured in Madrid on the 12th, that the Go vernment had serious thoughts of prohibiting the impor tation of any persons of colour into Cuba. There are already 800,000 blacks in that island, and the arrival of more might excite them to imitate the example of Hayti, by turning the tables upon the whites. The Infante Don Juan, second son of Don Carlos, has had a tumble from his horse at Salzburg, by which his arm was broken. The accident would not affect his life. When recovered, he is to leave Switzerland with his brother. PARLIAMENTARY. Lord Lowther took his seat last night in the House of Peers. Lord Brougham presented a petition from the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Society, setting forth that British subjects were still concerned in promoting several branches of the slave trade, and praying for an extension of the law of 1824. Avarice is on this point overcoming legislative skill. Lord Cottenham withdrew all his Bills for improving the administration of justice till next Session. The Bill which he passed through the' Lords was on Friday put off for six months in the Commons, because it trenched on their privileges. The Peers adjourned to Thursday. In the Commons, Mr. Ewart gave notice of a motion that a Government would not deserve confidence which did not adopt the principles of the Import Duties Committee. Sir Robert Inglis announced that he gives up Church Extension for this Session. Sir Robert Peel is to ask for leave to bring in the New Poor-law Bill this day. Mr. Otway Cave, having protested against the course of the . Tories, and having referred to the registration scheme for Ireland, Sir Robert Peel said that he did not identify himself with Lord Stanley's Bill, and that he wished to correct the errors of the registration without narrowing the.franchise. Sir Charles Napier justly complained that no naval man was now connected with the Board of Ordnance and that the First Lord of the Admiralty did not know a line-of-battle ship from a frigate. The conversation on the subject elicited some difference of opinion, but no facts of importance. Sir Thomas Wilde announced his intention of bring-. ing under the consideration of the House this day the fact that Sir E. Sugden has sat in the House, contrary to the rules of Parliament, after he had accepted the office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Sir Edward defended his conduct because he was not iet legally in possession of hisoffice. The rule, however, seems to be that a man vacates his seat from the time of an nouncing his acceptance of an office, and Sir Edward Sugden has strained the law too much. Mr. Harcourt obtained from Lord Palmerston an as surance that there was no need to fear that the nation would be stifled under an enormous load of Russian corn were the Corn-laws repealed. Dr. Bowring asked her Majesty's Government some questions touching the increase of the tariff in Syria, which, according to Sir R. Peel, remains undecided, while, according to Lord Palmerston, the inhabitants of Leba non will be protected. Mr. Crawford objected, on account of the - public dis tress, to going into a Committee of Supply. Sir Robert Peel said legislation could give no imme diate relief. Mr. Thornely made an excellent speech on the sub ject of Corn-laws and Import Duties, but into Committee the house went after a division of 136 to 22. The House re mained . in Committee of Supply for the remainder of the evening, and got through the miscella neous estimates. A few hollow words were again uttered about the dis tress of the people, but nothing was done to mitigate it; in fact the Legislature professes its inability to help the people, but it is quite able to enri c h ren t an d tithe owners. punLic OPINION. The Morning Post treats wi:h great contempt the idea that the country is dissatisfied with the present Minis try, observing Even the oppon en t s o f th e p resen t Government—such of them at least as have any preten sion to reasonableness—allow that time for considera tion is necessary, and that a Ministry which has just come in ought not, in justice or in prudence, to offer to the public permanent measures of great importance to various rival interests. The " motion " of the who!e country is merely an imaginary motion, and all the ho nours which belong to it are likely to be engrossed by such interesting localities as New Brentford and Whitechapel." The Advertiser thus refers to Sir Robert Peel's first Ministerial declarations in Parliament :—" The speech and the moment, in themselves, constitute a portraiture of the times. The pen of Tacitus might, in vain, labour to reduce within a circle of more compressed limits the picture of events : that speech, and that moment—they live in mutual relief, exposing the insolence of the Mi nister, and that temporary exhaustion of power, under which a series of unconstitutional procedures had mo mentarily placed the people."—lt is not so much from " exhaustion" or indifference that the country is now apparently quiescent, as from that love of fair play for which it has ever been, and we trust will ever be, remark able. It is unwilling to stir, except from a deep-seated conviction that nothing is to be hoped for but from strenuous agitation; and the late Tory declarations will tend in no slight degree to produce this conviction. The Chronicle remarks, in allusion to Sir Robert Peel's want of decision and straightforwardness on the Corn-law question In his present position, Sir Ito bert Peel can only play Mrs. Candour at the expense of his own character. If he will not allow us to consider that the election of a landlord's majority has ascertained ' what is to be the state of the law affecting , the importa tion of corn,' he is bound by his own previous profession, in June last, to tell the public what he means the state of that law to be ; and if it is, as his conduct intimates, open to alterations, what he intends those alterations to be. Of course we mean, not in subordinate and unimportant details, but what they will be substan tially, and in their bearing upon persons engaged in commercial speculations.' If unprepared to do this, he should have cast no uncertainty over the subject. He should have quietly left it where it had been placed by the fact of his monopolist majority. He should not have destroyed an immense advantage' for the sake of cajoling the people into an expectancy which he has no mason for believing he can ever satisfy. He is practising a delusion now, as he did before."—To expect boldness and decision from Sir Robert Peel on the Corn• law question, is as ridiculous as to expect eloquence from a Sibthorp, or statesmanlike sagacity from a D'lsraeli. With such a colleague at his elbow as the Duke of Buck ingham, and such a monopolist majority, to keep a wary eye on his movements, as the Ninety-On e , th e Ri g ht Hon. Baronet c anno t b e deCided, even if his turn of mind allowed him to be so. sloau Our re, perfectcfhoaorHeraldnhbegear is of o hybo eerteaohnr :didoeaxnpcpop whattini euhasi appears to that exclusively oay pleases forget allat the rng e etoto t df: Tory vtt with the Premier hit gheeßight fabrication. rwhhect is at Poo law, mea sure annr Baronet was one of the chief supporters of this law, and that it could not have passed without his concurrence : " It is false to assert that Sir Robert Peel is bound to the present Poor-law ; he is no more bound to its vices and errors-than he is not to alter the timber duties or improve the corn duties. Sir Robert Peel was content to give the Whig Poor-law, what the Whigs refuse to give him—a fair trial ; but for having done so, his course in office is not to be embarrassed by all its defects, its cruel administration, and its heartless officials. The Whigs alone are responsible for the present Poor-law ; and for it, so long as memory lasts in England, their party will be handed down to execration from age to age. as the poor man's enemies." The Times is exceedingly displeased that. Lord Mar peth should have accepted a public dinner from the Irish Reformers, and condescends to read his Lordship a lee. ture on the subject in these terms:=" A high-minded officer, more concerned about public interests than about personal vanity, would, under all the circumstances, have peremptorily declined such a dinner. Lord Mor peth, kne., perfectly well the Repeal yrinciples of the great majority of those who meant to dine him. Equally cognizant of the fact, that how sincerely soever he himself may be attached to British connexion, the treat was really given to him by a disaffected party from a conviction sub rosy that their guest had essentially pro moted their objects by his official influence, his Lordship was bound to have repudiated in the most emphatic manner the very discreditable compliment which they wished to pay him." The Ipswich Express makes the following comments on what it calls the " first act of a Tory Ministry :" " Sir Robert Peel has spoken as Prime Minister of the Restoration, and has plainly told a suffering people that to relieve their distress he will do nothing. The esti mates of his predecessors are to be taken without altera tion, and the deficiency of the revenue is to be met by a vote of credit ! And then the Legislature is to adjourn until February ! There can be but one cause for this impolitic proceeding—namely, Sir Robert Peel's utter inability to manage his high-flying, aristocratic Cabinet." The BcPon Free Press observes :—" Let the reader peruse our brief notice of Sir R. Peel's evasive speech in .the House on Thursday evening, and, in connection with it, our report of the great meeting held at Man. chester on the same day, and ask himself if our shuffling Premier is not paving the way for a violent revolution. Quern Deus vult perdere prius dementit. Had a speech like that which we find set down for Sir R. Peel in yes terday's papers been published in waggery, by anticipa tion, it might well have been pronounced a burlesque." The • Cambridge Independent remarks as follows c n Sir James Graham's recent speech at Dorchester Sir James Graham's speech was altogether a miserable failure. After a deal of abuse bestowed upon the late Whig Administration, the Right Hon. Baronet did not tell his audience a syllable as to the measures which the Tory Government intended to introduce. Indeed, wherever we look through the speeches delivered by members of the Administration, at the recent re-elec tions, for anything tangible or itraightforward as to Sir Robert Peel's course, it is all labour lost. Our political future is still a secret." WOArriy-TRADE-COZVEIKERCE. The state of trade at Bolton continues in an alarming state. Hundreds of poor people are seen strolling about the streets for want of better employment. In Wiltshire the condition of the labourers is frightful. They cannot find employment, and are driven to commit petty thefts to keep body and soul together. CO7.YriVIERCIAX. REFortm. A meeting was recently held at Bolton for the pur pose of forming an Anti-Bread-Tax and Free Trade Society, and a Committee was formed to meet weekly, and commence their. crusade against the famine-laws. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Stratford, Es sex, will be held this evening at the Bird-in-hand, to memorialise the Queen on the present state of the Corn laws, and to-morrow the inhabitants of Camberwell, Peckham, and Dulwich are to meet in the Lecture-room of the Anti-Corn-law Association, Hill street, Peck ham, for the same purpose.

Lieutenant-General .Murray, formerly Governor of Demerara, died on Thursday last atParis, in his 60th year. Lieutenant-Colonel Slrield, who succeeded to the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of the 60th Regiment upon the late decease of Lieutenant• Colonel Molyneux, died a few days since at St. Thomas's. The i2d Hi g hlanders seem to be great favourites at Court. Another field-day sham-fight took place yester day in the Home Park, which the Queen and Prince Albert, with numerous courtiers, viewed from the Vic toria Tower, who seemed highly gratified with the excel lent manner in which the various movements were per formed. LAW /I ND POLICE. Richard Eustace and Mary Ann Haggart, charged with the murder of William Hazzard, aged 74, at Greenwich. on Saturday last, were brought a second time before the sitting Magistrate yesterday, when the policeman stated at length the circumstances of the case. Both prisoners denied the charge, and were remanded until Saturday next. Yesterday a young Irishwomen, named Hogan, was brought before the Magistrate at Hatton-garden, on a charge of attempting to drown herself in the New River. Having been seduced, she was turned out of her situa tion, and being refused all relief from her seducer, and being without a friend in this country, she attempted self-destruction. Every attention was paid her by the Magistrate, and a small sum given her from the poor box, till she could be admitted into the workhouse. At Union-Hall James Glenee was committed' to take his trial, for a:tempting to stab John Lewis hitcher. The complainant stated that the prisoner had been dis charged from his situation, in consequence of certain re presentations which he considered himself called upon to make to his employer, and to that circumstance alone he attributed the assault. A butcher of the name of Thompson was fined 51. at Thames-street for an outrageous assault upon a boy ten years of age, who he said had annoyed him, and pulled the tail of his coat on Saturday. According to the evi dence of two women, the defendant seized the boy by the jacket and trousers and dashed him on the ground, where he lay for some time insensible. At Lambeth-street a man of the name of Wiseman, said to b 3 in excellent business, and also to have come into the possession of considerable property by the death of a relative, was charged with obtaining goods by fraudu lent pretences. He was remanded till two other parties implicated in the transaction are to be brought up. ~1L4::c ra9NEEEzNG. It is stated on good authority that a spirited contest on the vart of the Reformers would successfully contest Portanington with the Hon.

The precise numbers de clared were, for Lord Howick 705 ; Mr. Attwood 463 ; giving Lord Howick a majority of 242. The Westminster Registration is proceeding with, and the parish of St. Anne's, Soho, numbers 20 new claims, and 54 objections by both parties. In St. Clement's Danes there are 18 new claims, and nearly 150 objec tions from all parties. The result of the Sunderland election has induced many to augur that a successful opposition to the Tory party will be more than ever established at Westmore land against Alderman Thompson. Lord Lincoln was on Monday last re-elected at Not tingham without opposition. Sir Edward Knatchbull having been appointed to tin) office of Paymaster- General of the Forces, was on Mon day last re-elected for East Kent without opposition. sronwnvv. Mr. J. W.

His Excellency Earl De Grey is expected to return from Dublin Castle in the course of the week. Sir Edward Sugden is expected to leave his seat at hames Ditton, at the close of the week, for Dublin. The Duke and Duchess of Bedford arrived in town yesterday from Woburn Abbey. On Sunday last, the Bishop of Bath and Wells (Dr. Law) attained his 80th year, and is in the enjoyment of excellent health. MISCELLANEOUS. This day is the anniversary of the murder of King Edward the Second, in Berkeley Castle, at the instiga tion of his Queen. None of the monasteries adjacent to the Castle would receive the murdered body of the King, except Gloucester, where he was buried. The late Secretary of the Sunderland Chartist Associ ation, Mr. James O'Neil, was drowned on Monday while bathing in the sea off Hendon, near Sunderland. A Slgian paper states that the steam-ship, the British Queen, is preparing for a voyage to Constantinople. An advertisement in the Times states 'that an extra ordinary fasting man, named Bernard Cavanagh, is now exhibiting himself at the Hanover-square Rooms. If the Tory Ministers refuse much longer to alter the Corn laws, " extraordinary fasting men" will be by no means an uncommon exhibition. The monopoly system is a capital recipe for producing them. At a recent Protestant Association Meeting at.Wy conabe, a clergyman declared publicly that the " return of a Tory majority of ninety-one to the House of Com mons must be attributed to the Great God of Heaven alone ! " RUMOURS Or THE HAT. Unless the meetings throughout the country produce an impression, Sir Robert Peel and the " tyrant majo rity " Parliament will sit only about three weeks longer.

THE MARKETS—THIS DAY. COLONIAL MARKET. The Market was dull, and prices had a downward tendency for most articles. Importers were desirous to realise. The imports were fair. TEA MARKET. Little business done, and rather lower rates were submitted to. Company's C.ngou offered at ls. 10d. cash. TALLOW MARKET. The demand was steady; both on the spot and for arrival Prices were firm ; P.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGH TON ,RAILWAY.—DELAY OF THE PASSENGER TRAIN.— The arrival of the last down-train from London to Brighton was delayed for about two hours on Sunday evening in conse quence of an accident which happened on the line at Hooley lane, previous to its arrival at that place. We have collected the fallowing particulars, which we believe to be authentic.— An engine was attached to a single carriage, which contained a number of signal flags, which Mr. Barratt, a superintendent of the works, was distributing along the line. Mr. Barratt was accompanied by his wife. On reach.ng Hooley.lane they came in violent collision with a train of earth •carts. The en gine was thrown off the line, and the carts were upset and smashed. Two men seated in the carts sustained considerable injury, but our informant states that they were not seriously lust. Mr. Barran and his wife escaped unhurt. We have not heard to whom blame is attributable. The overthrew of the earth-carts blocked up the road, and prevented the down-train (which was apprised of the accident) from passing until the earth was cleared away. The delay caused a good deal of anxiety in Brighton on Sunday evening. ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, a dreadful accident happened on this railway to an engine driver of the name of Samueit Alson, aged thirty-six, living at Maryland Point, Stratford: It seemed that the train had just as rived at Stratford, and was proeeeding gently towards the statioo,. when the unfortu na t man f e ll o ff the engine, and the w h ee l s oi l several carriages pass e d over one of h i s legs, whic h pres ent ed a horrid spectacle, the flesh being st r ipp e d o ff from the kn ee downwards. He was immedi a t e l y conveye d t o the Lon do n Hcspital by a constable of the railway, and several other per sos.s, where amputation of the li m b was p er formed shor tly afterwards, but the man lies in considerable danger. MONEY and COM iIiERCIAL NEWS.. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 20.—We have had a very fair bwiness in the Cotton Market to-day, the sales amounting to 5.000 bales. Speculators have taken 700 bales, and exporters 400. The market is stead.y and rather in favour of holders. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, SEPT. 20.—We have only one transaction to record in this day's proceedings at the Stock Exchange, Grand Junction Half Shares, 99k.

THE FUNDS The notice which Eas come down to the city this morrnng for the funding of five millions of Exchequer Bills, together with the French loan, has caused a decline of 4 per cent. in Consols, they being now quoted at 89k a- for Money, and 89i t i for the Account.

The following are the only transactions :—Spanish Active Stock, 31 ; Danish, 81 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 514 ; Ditto Fives, 1021. There has been but three bargains done in the Share Market up to the present time :—London and Brighton, 45i ; Ditto Blackwall, 10i ; South Eastern and Dover, 16. QUARTER TO THREE. The grand panacea of the Peel Cabinet, f,r the financial embarrassments of the country has at length been disclosed by the notice from the Treasury relative to funding 5,000,000/. Exchequer Bills. Now although we are not disposod exactly to quarrel with Messrs. Peel, Goulburn, and Co., for the plan they have hart recourse to, supposing a lout necessary, for such it is to all intents and purposes, we must take leave to call to their minds the cavilling and consci entious objections of the party in which they rank, when Air. Spring Rice adopted a precisely similar course, and under much more pressing circumstances. Being on the Opposition or the Ministerial benches, however, makes a wonderful alteration in the sentiments of some men, and we suppose the Tories v ill not be deemed by any one bomb-proof against the bes;eging charms of office. We have a word or two besides to. urge against the constitutionality of any Minister of the Crown borrowing what money he pleases, without asking the con sent of the people, whose pockets will have to answer for the payment of it. The sanction of Parliament after the thing is done is very little consolation, this being merely what is tritely styled " French leave," and we are not pre, ared to to allow that, because Spring Rice set a bad example, Mr. Goulburn should follow it. In other points, it is certainly prefer able to prevent gambling in the funds by converting Exchequer 13111 s in lieu of taking an open loan. After clearing the :Mar ket of five millions sterling of Exchequer Bills, the new Go • vernment will have a clear stage for another issue of bills, which poor John Bull must accept.

GLASGOW, FRIDAY EVENlNG.—According to appointment, the gentlemen in charge of the requisition fur calling a public meeting of the Parliamentary electors of Glasgow, " for the purpose of considering the very distressed state of the country, and the alarming prospects of the ensuing winter, and of memo rialising the Queen, praying her Majesty not to I•rorogue the two Houses of Parliament until they have entered upon a full consideration of the Corn and Provision-laws, which, in the opinion of the requisitionists, are the main cause of the existing sufferings of the people," waited to-day upon the Lord Pro vost. His Lordship, who is a Tory, and who has twice unsuc cessfully stood for the representation of this city, has, in answer to the above very respectful and numerously signed requisition, complied to call the meeting, but with the worst grace possible. His Lordship, alter a delay of two hours, returned the follow ing answer : _ " Glasgow, Sept. 17,1841. " lam desirous at all times to afford my fellow-citizens an cpportunity of meeting fur public objects, and I cheerfully comply with the requisition so respectably signed, which has been presented to me. " Impressed as I am, however, with the importance of the subject of the Corn and Provision-laws, and deeply sympa thising in the existing distress in the country, I must be per mitted to express my regret that it should have been considered advisable to prejudge the course which may be taken by the Representatives of the people in the new Parliament, nor does it appear to me either usual or very courteous to the Queen, to call upon her Majesty, at the commencement of the Session, to exerei e her Royal prerogative in the manner indicated by the terms of the requisition. " But in deference to the requisitionists, I hereby call a public meeting of the Parliamentary electors of Glasgow, for the purposes stated therein, within the Trade?

SlR,—The progress of the works at the new Houses of Par liament, and the necessity of laying down the foundations on which the flues for warming and ventilating the Houses are constructed, irduced me to desire Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid to make a joint report on these subjects, by which it appears that a sum of 86,0001. will be required for warming, ventilating, and securing the buildings from fire, according to the following statement:— Ventilating Tower £20.000 Air and chimney flues in the walls ......... ............... 12,320. _ Apparatus 12,000 £44,320 For securing the buildings from fire—Fire proof floors under the roof £2.0,660 Brick floors on iron beams between the prin cipal and upper storie5...... -- 41.680 X 56,000 I must observe, that in this sum Mr. Barry has included the sum of 20,0001. for a centre tower, not intended in the origi nal plan, but which will be so constructed as to suit Dr. Herd's new system of ventilation, which he considers will be a great addition to the beauty of the structure. lam unwilling to re commend so large a sum to the Treasury without the sanction of Parliament, although a considerable part will be necessary under any circumstances, if the Houses are to be warmed and ventilated on the system adopted by Dr. Reid in the present. temporary Houses, and which appears to me to give general satisfaction. _ _ . From the prices at which contracts have been taken for the works already in progress, there can be no doubt, with care and attention, that a considerable saving will take place on the original estimate that was sanctioned by the Committee of the two Houses ; and I therefore request you to bring the subject before the House of Commons, as the state of the works makes it necessary that some decision should be come to without delay; I will only add, that no unnecessary delay has taken place in bringing this subject forward, and that Dr. Reid has delivered in his estimate as soon as the state of the works al lowed him to do so. I have, &c., DUNCANNON. The Right Hon. F. T. Baring, &c. Westminster, Aug. 21, 1841. My Lord,—l beg to submit for your Lordship's considera tion, a drawing of the river front of the new Houses of Parlia ment, showing the effect of a central tower of the height and diameter required by Dr. Reid for the purpose of ventilation, according to his first suggestion ; and I have no hesitation in expressing my opinion, thnt the adoption of such a feature in the design would Considerably improve the general effect and importance of the intended building. I have, &c., The Viscount Duncannon. CHARLES MARRY. T. F. FREMANTLE. Whitehall, Treasury Chambers, Sept. 14, 1841. LOTTERY.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) — The Duke of Wellington is, it is said, determined by means of a lottery to throw open Waterloo-bridge to the pub lic. Considering the state of the present localities south of the bridge, we think it will prove highly advantageous both in a moral and political view. A petition, already most numerously signed, will shortly be presented to the Home of Commons, praying that the Guardians of each Union may purchase flour and meat for the poor free of all duty.

The Constitu tionnel observes, in reference to the above, that. an answer might be given to it, but very properly adds that the situation of things is too pacific for such c.ilculations.

It was stated in the Charan t . e of Friday that we lay 100 per cent. on their wines, while sour the our finer cloths did not pay JO per cent. duty ; and as , n l6- coarser kinds, they could produce them themselves in, "duty dent quantity.
