Not only did they do nothing when in opposition to relieve that distress,but they refused to listen to the plans proposed by the late Mi nisters to relieve it. Thinking of nothing but how to thrust themselves into office, they threw out: the first pail of the late Ministers' budget upon - a pretext wholly foreign either to the con 'dition of our people or the state of the revenue. They rejected the proposed alteration in the sugar duties, because that might perchance injure the fat, sleek, and well-fed labourers of Jamaica. The reduction in the sugar duties, combined with the other measures proposed by the Whigs, wer e calculated, they said, to re lieve the public distreSs ; and the Tories, by refusing to discuss them in Par:iament, made themselves fearfully responsible flsr all the distress which they now acknowledge has pre vailed for a consideeable period in some of the principal manufacturing districts. We do not belong to that school which ex pects much from legislation. We agree with Lord STANLEY and the Duke OZ WELLINGTON, that it is impotent to extinguish poverty and annihilate distress; but, though it be impotent to effect good, it does not, therefore, follow that it is impotent to cause there evils. We agree with a writer in the Leeds Times, who gives a frightful picture of the poverty and distress ex isting in that town, which will be found in an other part Sit. 7, that there arc no natural causes tor the pre -rent sad condition of our peo ple, and that their sufrerings are the fruit of legislation, which, though impotent for goad, is by no Inea:!s powerless to do mischief. Whence, however, comes that mass of statutes, and how can the Duke of WELLINGToN and Lord STANLEY defend and maintain them, which are directed against poverty, and intended to annihilate distress, if legislation be as they say, and as we believe, impotent to that end? 50t,;,,; lieving, we do not ask the Legislature to give food to the people ; we do not aik it to employ them ; we do not require it to ensure them good wages ; we are much more modest, we ask it only to let them alone, to allow them to feed and find em ployment for themselves, unrestricted and unfet tered by ignorant and mischievous laws, and then they must be contented with such wages as competition amongst themselvesand amongst the capitalists would give. it is quite impossible, however, to look at the present condition of society, and know that every branch of industry is fettered by noxious regulations, without con cluding that the Legislature is, before. GOO and man, seriously and solemnly responsible, and particularly - the Tory legi:flatbrs who rejected the budget, fur that distress which has prevailed and is prevailing. They have even postponed all inquiry into it, and all means of relieving it for at leas: some months, and have thereby proved themselves the most heartless, cruel politicians that, ever governed the country. Yet these are the men whom the Spectator praises, and whom Mr. WAKLEY proposes to give a fitir trial to. The, people are solemnly admonished, in a book which the Tories pretend to reverence, to curse those who withhold food from them, and the people will probably curse those cruel Ministers, who, acknowledging their distress, continue to withhold food from 'them. We are aware that the conduct of the Tories finds some countenance in the conduct of the Whigs. In fact, statesmen are judged by Con trast and comparison, and the sole wis dom of the Tories is found in the follies of the Whigs. It is clear from the returns' we have quoted of the healtit of different places that the lower classes suffered more from disease, and the mortality was greater amongst them in 1838, 1839, 1840, than in 1841. During• these terrible years, however, when the people had yet energy enough to try and help themselves— when their sufferings were manifested by great meetings and intense excitement --the people, feeling great pain, but being ignorant of the means of helping themselves —during these ,ter- rible years the Whigs refused, and by the aid'of the Tories were enabled successfully to refuse, All alteration, and even all inquiry, into the Corn laws, which were called for generally by the - Liberal party. They were then as deaf to the voice of distress as the Tories now are, and it was only when that distress begun to affect the revenue, after it had nearly done its work on the people, thinning their numbers, destroying their spirit, and ren dering them incapable of paying the increased taxes demanded of thetn—it was only in 1841, after the people had been for three years a prey to great sufferings, that the Whigs proposed their Budget. Even then they based it on wrong principles. To give relief to the people was its secondary object; to increase the revenue was its principal care. To do justice to the people did not enter into their hearts, and the people left them a prey to their riVals, the Tories. They could take no intereat in a measure which appeared to them, by increasing the revenue, to increase their burthens. The conduct of the late Minis:ers, who refused to give relief in 1838, 1839, and 1810, and pro posed measures in 1841, of which relief to the people was the secondary okect, is the only ap parent justification we can find for the still worse conduct of their successors. But Whig faults will not excuse Tory crimes, and as the late Minis ters became thoroughly unpopular, the present men will soon be thoroughly hated and bitterly cursed. While we are reminding our friends of their serious faults, we must remind the mill-owners and other capitalists of the North that in 1838, 1839, and 1840, 'before they were humbled by their losses, and before they saw their property melting away as at present, they took an active part against the people, and called even for more coercion than the Whig Ministers were willing to gratify them by employing. They acted then on the true Tory principle of hating and fearing the people. They were then - *the best allies of the Tories and the Corn-laws. Now the Tories read them lessons on cruelty, reproaching them with their avarice arid Lard-hearted, ness, stigm;Aizing them as the oppressors of the people, and even invoking destruction on their abodes and factories. England, the Tory Journals have told 113, NVOIlld be no worse were half the manufacturino. t • - d o t) C Every day almost the nrill-o: • are vitu- Aerated by the Tory Journalists, who may probably now see in that, and in the deter mination formed by the . Tory landlords to give them no relief, something like retributive justice for their conduct towards the working classes in the years we have mentioned. We are well aware that they were aided and encouraged by some portions of the Liberal and respectable Press, but we differed at the time from our brethren, and the present powerless condition of the manutheturing classes, from the prevailing conflicts between the represented and the un represented, have served to convince us of the soundness of our views, and of the impolicy of the course which the Whig Journals, the Whig Ministers, and the manufacturing capitalists pur sued towards the working classes in the years 1838 and 1839. We received last night Belgian and Dutch papers of the Bth and 9th instant. The debates in the Budget in the Dutch Parliament are. carried on with great spirit. A great -trtirtilier of the Members are for, retrenchment and a elf ferent scale of taxation, in order , that the present heavy\ bfirdens may press more lightly on the lower and middle classes, and that the more wealthy may be compelled to contribute their full share for the expeilses of the Government but the Tory party have been victorious, and a number of ;;rants have 'heel, 1)v cr.,:L.itier ablc majorities. Another trial.of strength, how ever, is evidently approaching. The revenue is enznee and then by M. Dupin. A 7'e Deem was per formed in the church, and in the evening there WAS a grand banquet. The Marseilles mail has been unusually late in arriv ing at Paris during the l as t few days,, the delay having been caused by their being obliged to take circuitous routes, the regular line of _road having been in several places . broken .up by inundations. The Lyons Journals of Tuesday represent the Rhone and Saone as still increasing, •and beginning to over flow the quays, but express hopes that the inundation will not exceed the usual floods. In the course of Sa turday ni g ht, t h ree houses and other buildings in the environs were s tr uc k b y the lightning, and sumo totally, some partially d es t royed. At Vaise, it killed twenty sheep belon g i ng to a butcher who had housed them. A barge was sunk near the Brotteaux, and a great many trees were thrown d o w n at S t. F oy . A t V erna i eon , it kided five horses ethployeti in towing a barge, and seriously affected the man driving them.

The wile of the cabinet-maker in the Rue du Roi Sicile, whose child was a few days ago burnt to death by the boiling over of some varni4n, as we. mentioned, is dead, and her husband lies in the hospital in a desperate state.

In conse quence, dating from September 30 last, all - articles ported into the United States, which were admitted duty free, or subject to a duty of less than twenty per cent., will have to .pay 20 per cent. duty, with the exeeption oe the articles designated in this new tariff, most of which are materials necessary for the manufacture of works of art, &c. It is knowitt that the chief object of this act is to affect French silk manufactUrerS.

It iniiiht e how ever, have been hoped that our diplomacy would have profited by the e xi s ti ng differences between the United States and England to increase our influence with the American Congress. But unhappily the recent conduct of our Government in the affairs of the East and of La f l ight, iniseshOttai iia y ire ettypoit opr allies ; and it is thus that our deplorable foreign policy reacts on our commerefal relations.

The mercantile community of Luxembourg are greatly dissatisfied with the King for refusing to rectify the treaty with Prussia. A numerous meeting of manufacturers was held on the Ist inst. to petition the King on the subject, and a permanent Committee appointed to take such measures as they might judge expedient for the interests of trade and commerce. • A letter, signed JAMES ACLAND, in another part of The Stet, states, amongst other things— There is in Tamworth a Grainmar School, founded by Sir Robert's father, for the gratuitonz education of the ,children of the inhabitants so long as a Peel shall re present the borou;li ; and I am credibly informed that the master (Savage by name, and, as it should seem, servile by nature), informed the boys a few days since that he had received a letter from the Prime Minister, ordering him to discharge the children' of all those who had signed the petition ! The way being thus prepared, the Relieving Oaleer and his colleagues. went round to the parents 'Of the children to " inquire " if they had signed that important 'document. And the public may believe that some disclaimers were the consequence. Can this be true? We quote it to provoke a contradiction if, be . not. We give no opinion on any part of the paragraph, though the whole of it is worthy of observation, till we are assured by the silence of the Ministerial journals that it is true, or learn by their explanations and denials that it is false.. Among the official despatches from China which we this day publish, from the London Gazette ExtraordirLary of Friday night, will be found one from the late lamented Captain Sir 11. FLEMING SENUOUSE, frOill which only extritcts were given in the despate!cs from Lord AUCKLAND, which appeared in The Sun of .Thursday. The dispositions made .for an attack on Canton by this gallant officer, cannot be perused without enhancing the deep sorrow universally felt for his lw!s. All the other despatches froth China published in th e Gazette, and not firand in our columns of thi day, appeared in 7'lte Sti:z of Thursday. The whole of the French Journals of Thurs day have been received► The following is the telegraphic despatch published by the French Gciverninent, announcinx the state of things in Navarre.:— The French Government, on the 6th instftrit, rcceive3 the following telegraphic dispatch : "Bayonne, Oct. 5. " THE SUB -PREFECT TO THE MINISTER 02 THE INTERIOR. " The Captain-General Ribeiro is still at Pampeluna. The National Guard obeys him. O'Donnell is in the citadel : they watch each other's movements. General Ortigosa makes common cause with O'Donnell. Some defections in the army are spoken of. A part of the garrison of Estella and the o Commander ar e s a id t o h ave declared i n f avour of O'Domiell. The federal depu tation was to have a meeting extraordinar,y •cstercla,y at Ascoi tia." The accession of the Tories to office in -Eng land has quite revived the hopes of the Christi nos and Carlists in Spain. Already do they exult ingly dwell upon Lord PALMERSTON'S retirement from office as an omen of Victory, and quote the speeches of the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord ABERDEEN, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Mr. FENTON ) Mr. PETER BORTHWICK, Mr. MikettAJ, and Lord CARNARVON, in favour of Don CAR LOS, to show what they have to expect front the sympathies of the Tories now in office. The French Government evidently sup ports the designs of the Christino insurgents. In the following article from the Journal des _Debuts, interesting from the account which it gives. CI General O'DortuEtt, it manifestly labours to justify the seizure of Pampeluna:— is notorious that since the protest of Maria Chris tina against the guardianship, great agitation has manifested itself in Spain, and particularly in tie army. The resignation of General Palafx, Puke Saragossa, as Commandant of the Guard, and the public manifestations of General Diego Leon and a great number of officers in favour of the Queen, indicated an approaching re-action in the army, which appears to be much disgusted with the part it has been con polled to assume by the Exaltados of Barcelona. Ge neral Leopold O'Donnell, who has just taken possession of the citadel of Pampeluna, is the same who lately commanded the army of the centre in Valencia. He is of Irish- origin ; his father comm an d e d a corps d'arin ee i n th e war of independence. Three of his bra• !hers embraced the interests of Don Carlos. One was Made prisoner and murdered by the people of Barcelona; the other, who was Commander-in-thief of the cavalry of Don Carlos, died of his wounds during the cam: paign ; the third entered the Constitutional army after the Convention of Bergara. Leopold O'Donnell first served in the Royal Gaud. During the last war he was chiefly employed in Biscay and Guipuseca, where he acquired a lair military . reputation. Last year, as soon as ho heard of the movement of Barce lona, and the conduct of Espartero towards the Queen, he gave in his resignation ; but the Quee n , w h o re posed all h er con fid ence in him, refused to accept it, and soon afterwards proceeded to Valencia to place herself under his protection. General O'Donnell remained at Va lencia, struggling with energy against the revolt which was getting up there, and commanded the army till the Queen abdicated. He has since then passed some time in France, and on returning to Spain applied for permission to retire to Bilboa, but Espartero, who was jealous of the rept tation and influence of O'Donnell in the army, fixed upon Pampoluna• as his place of residence. It appears that for some time past the Regent has been uneasy as to the garrison of Pampeluna, and under the apprehension of a revolt, had sent thither troops from Castile. These were the first troops to join O'Donnell. The National Guard of Pampeluna, which remains faithful to the Go vernment, is composed of only one hundred men, who all belong to the party of the exahados. The institution of the National Guard has never taken root in Navarre and the Basque Provinces, where it is considered as contrary to the:rfueros. General O'Donnell is a man of thirty five or thirty-six years of age, tall, and of a martial, severe air. His charaeter is cold and reserved, but very decided." • „ .. t LTA 1110111 st hkieei Lmit Price , - Price. hit., Pliet. s',..ch 5 per Cent,. ex. di,. 114 75 ... 11-1 9i ... 114 75 ... 114 tis per Cents ... 3 per C5n0....., l9 40 ... 79 60 ... 19 40 ... 79 60 tankn: "'Tani, • . f":160 .. ...33 0 ...5.360 ... 3 3(1 I.4lEtteltauk V l l;us.

Tea has fluctuated very much on account of the heavy supplies we shall receiv e . Tallow has fallen - in consequence of the serious failures, and Indigo has gone off flatly, owing to the dull state of our manufacturing industry.

The insurrection in Navarre is noticed in the leadin t „, columns of all th e P ar i s J ourna l s o f Th urs d a y . Th e Gazette de France, a Legitimist journal, says:—" The telegraphic despatch announcing the movement at Pampe luna arrived at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. It was instantaneous] v forwarded to St. Cloud. and there & to Maria Christina in the Rue de Courcellcs. Maria Chris tina immediately convoked her Council, Martinez de la Rosa, and Count do Toreno. The question discussed was whether M•lrla Christina should go to Spain, and place herself at the head of the troops in St. Sebastian and Panipeluna. It was resolved that the Queen should re :nain in Paris, sending two agents. to the frontier. General O'Donnell, who commenced the movement, was a month ago in Paris, where he passed sixty days with the influential personages of Queen Christina's party. It I is said he carried three millions of f rancs w ith him from Par its: Since Monday evening, the Queen's residence has been efonstaxtly filled with people. The Government did - nut publish the news until it was in a measure constrained by the intevpallations of IL Olozaga, who had received despatches from the frontier. A rumour i current that Gomez and Villa Real have entered Spaino,and that the Basque provinces are up." -* - The Journal des Debuts, the Court ore en iai, no de .. - cided opinion upon the subject of the Spanash volg-Vt merely thinks that it is not of a nature, Ith,lnnWna civil war in Spain. The Debats, however;- betrays that the leaning of the Court is entirely in favour of Aiaria Christina. We think the King of the French would do well to attend to his own affairs, without intriguing in matters which wholly concern Spain. We trust the Cortes will have the spirit to declare the property of Maria. Christina in Spain forfeited to the State. It is the immense wealth of which she plundered Spain' that now enables her to make war on its institutions. 'The Censtitutionntl, the organ of M. Thiers, wlici is now i n • observes, that the state of Spain is such as to reqUire few etrorts to convulse it on any point. It is evident that revery movement against Espartero, an d for the purpose of prepaa'lng the way for the return of Queen will ijo keen with pleasure by the Frenca GoveriMitnlt t w ht o f t . the Constitutionnel regards as a moral accomplicti.llY any ititrigue or - outbreak in ravoiir of the exiled Queen. The Prase, another of the jottrtials whicit receive the inspirations of Louis Philippe, very sinnliftezt - ntly tells us that Espartero has committed so ninny bh:nders aince his accession to stipreme power, that there 'is strong feeling of indiffin'ence toWards him in Spain, ere?: amongst those who were,until recently, his most zealous and active partizans; and that his conduct towards France hats been ,nitflt as to shut out all hope that'the French Go vernment will lend to him tiny support or encourage ment in his efforts to maintain himself. The Presse doubts also whether he has anything like support to ex pect fro:n England, although he has done so . much for that eountry; for, according to the Prctle f grAitude is a virtue unktlevrn to the English ; and even it Espartero should receive xnpport ft•ora England, the Presse says it would do him more harm than gnOd. We may well here task whether the Presse means to insintinte that if England supports him France will declare for -3.l . aria Christina ? Some such threat appears to be implied. The National thinks that the insurrection is the result of an intrigue between Maria Christina, O'Donnell, and the French Government, and is very severe on the French Cabinet for iti perfidy towards Spain. We adopt for once the opinion of the National. General O'Donnell did not move a step in the direction of Spain without the approbation of thentrincipal personage at the Tuilleries. The CortrTier Fragcaix considers that there is little chance of - success for •O'Donnell, unless he can find money to carry on a civil war. None of the Sovereigns of hi urope will, it says, assist him, and Queen Christina, who has, if our Contemporary's information be correct. placed eight or ten millions of francs in the French funds, will not be much disposed to draw them out on such a venture as a civil conflict in Spain. The France, a Legitiinist paper, sses in the . insurrec tion in Navarre another chance of the restoration of Don Carlos, and the triumph of absolutist principles in tipin. Constitutional Spain has therefore open enemies and false friends in abundance in France. Baron d'Est, the late defaulter on the Paris Bourse to the amount of 500,000 francs, has been arrested at Brim. sels . by two of his creditors. The Belgian 'Government,. Ims been applied to for permission to remove hitvr."to Paris. The Archbishop of Cologne has solemnly resigned his diocese, which he has engaged never to visit so long as he lives. Tins was one of the conditions upon which the King of Prussia agreed to settle the question of mixed marriages. A Malta paper says, that on the 30th cf . September a Court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Howe, by order of Itelr-Admiral Sir John Omnianney, to try Mr. H. B. Beresford, mate of her Majesty's ship Van guard, upon a charge preferred by the captain of said ves sel, Sir David Dunn, for 'not having executed an order repeatedly given to him by his captam..in the pre sence of the officers and ship's/ company of the said Yes sal, on Wednesday, the 21st day of July, 18.11." The Court, after hearing two witnesses in support of the - Charge, and a very able written defence, read by the prisoner with great emphasis, declared the charge not proved, and acquitted him thereof accordingly. Captain . Basil Hail, and sev era l o th er di s ti ngu i s h e d tr ave ll ers , n ow at Malta, were present throughout the trial ; and, indeed, perhaps no Court-martial ever caused, particularly among the junior officers of the navy, greater excitement, or de light and gratification at the justice of the result." P - ITZMIC 727X027. The Morning Chronicle, remarking on the late refer ences made in Parliament to the bribery and corruption practised generally at the - last election, says :—" Let there be a thorough investigation. Let there be no paltering, no shuliiinee and, above all, no at tempt to screen the really guilty parties, by making scapegoats of agents or instruments. It is required for the vindication of the Reform :Act ; it is required for the honour of the country ; it is required fur our future safety. And when the investigation is complete, and the really guilty arc punished, let some measure be brought in—an honest comprehensive measure—whose operation may save us, at least to some extent, from the abomina tions and the danger of future bribery and corruption."— This is a judicious recommendation, but the Tories know better than to enter with earnestness and sincerity into a searching investigation of the wholesale system of bri bery pursued at the late elections. They are too deeply interested to do so. The utmost they will do, will be to institute a tame, partial, bit-by-bit scrutiny, such as shall be attended with no detriment to themselves.. In fact, they will just keep up appearances, nothing more. The Morning Herald thus speaks of. Lord Sydenham's administration of the Canadas :—" On Lord S'eaton's re call froth Canada, Mr. Thomson was appointed to the Supreme Government of British .North America, and was subsequently elevated to the Peerage. The subor dinate character of his previous employment, the want of personal dignity, and his known_free-trade opinions, pro duced a considerable opposition to the' appointment, and Mr. Thomson certainly left England to commence his administration under no very favourable auspices. We now, however, freely admit that the evil anticipa tions then formed have not been fulfilled, and that Lord Sydenham's Government of Canada has, on the whole, been successful. His Lordship slowly conquered the distrust of the . Canadians, and under his adminietra eioa prosperity has gradually re-dawned on this noble dependency. The union of the two provinces was skil fully commenced by the deceased Baron—an attempt was made to develope their great resources by complet ing the public works indispensable to their prosperity ; and if the name of Baron Sydenham is to be preserved for a few years in the recollection of the nation, it will be in connection with Canada. We can say no more t we could say no less."—The frankness and candor of the above passage are highly creditable to our Contem porary. It is not often that a Tory Journal thus rises superior to party prejudices in its estimate of men and things. 'nc Post has discovered that the clamour against the Corn-laws is a purely factitious one—that it is a hired clamour, and that a great part - of it arises front " ignorant prejudice and empty vanity." If for " empty vanity," our Contemporary had substituted` " empty stomach," we would have agreed with him, for this undoubtedly is at the bottom of the present Anti-Corn-law clamour. The following are the . Poses remarks on this subj ec t : "By far the greater portion of the clamour against the prorogation of Parliament and for the continued discussion of the Corn-laws, was no doubt insincere. A good deal of it was regularly hired and paid for—the wages, we believe, were small, but the work was coarse and mean, and deserved no better payment. A great part of it arose from ignorant prejudice and empty vanity—the persons making the clamour only knew that the Corn-laws were generally supported by the landed . aristocracy, and that their repeal was a theme on which something might be said at this or that meeting in order to gain :little local notoriety. No small portion of it had for its origin mere selfishness, the people who made the noise hoping thereby to gain something for them selves, th ro ugh the popular agitation, but knowi ng ve ry well that no such benefit to the poor as they pretended to seek for could possibly arise from a change of the -Corn-laws." The Times says, "We observe with pleasure that a ContempOrary, who has lately been dwelling at consider able length upon the subject of Church extension, de clares himself to advocate it upon principles which not contemplate an application to the funds of the country as a necessary part of the plan ;' and that Sir Robert Inglis has declined to commit him self to the renewal, in a future session, of his former notice upon this subject. If there were no other rea son for such a course,• the state of the Exchequer would furnish an irresistible ground ler the retracta don, under existing circumstances, of all such claims on behalf of the Church. But being (as we are)' con vinced that there are other and much weightier rea sons, pointing to a still more absolute and unequivocal conclusion, we shall not rest satisfied till we hear that the whole scheme for making the ministrations o f the Church commensurate with the spiritual necessi ties of the people by means of Parliamentary grants of money, is permaneetly abandoned. I t i s a scheme full' of danger to the Church herself ; likely to compromise her spiritual efficiency and purity ; certain to deprive her of that degree of independence which she retains at present, and to destroy much of the security which she enjoys for the maintenance of her temporal establishments. We believe also, that it would defeat its own object, and that the full and flow ing stream of voluntary contributions would disappear, - 1 -eir: cl Gfr forced ebannel of taxation, as did after they had been eaten up by Testoolithio::::p:acs-sts,e.,—, That-O il n G S O. n o t s u ci r u d a a r y e , p t i l: i i i s s d by the board on the MARYLVDONE pavement sin , . ~ 16 1 5 ,:h e p e c r on s:a n r a e tio v n ar w d: patent, as an experiment ' •-' ors of Ransin s Pv o e f res n lt. . ll : ° o 't a ihsltt'll';lftY ' I uld o . c laid down in Oxford -street, by the propt • - ittsit for confirmation—the said' pave brought before ti— on the declivity between Duke- Foster, and others, i s n tr i Tt t a 9 :ti be g l :l l ; d i t l y w o nl 3l T e n ; s r t s 7 e l3 t i ers , fir six i-.`:tt.futir.4, strongly oppo3`e, , p x • o ense, and the shortnes of Dt the cost of -. •vaS.J - on the grouads Of Olt , ~ for i ts trial.

The old warrior, though ready to March along with the faction on general occasions, is too li versed in dtipN.city . to become a direct actor in the yam' of de lusion." The Northern Advertiser says:—" The principal de fect which the new Ministry have exhibited is their de termination to keep the country in ignorance of their views respecting the Corn-laws. This is a subject upon which extensive disappointment has been experienced :euf expressed, and yet we are not aware that they have 'been less explicit or more reserved in their sewiments uppn this point than upon any other." ON the subject of the present distresses of the people, the Leicester _Mercury remarks as follows :—" To them. selves—and themselves only, must the distressed look for help—and their first effort must be to strike down, to smite to the very earth, every lie —every delusion— eVery misrepresentation —that falls from the lips of their ruler*, whether they relate to penury, want, disease, Sasia - ss&' Banks—whether they be uttered in utter igno rancis of the truth—or whether they are the wilful and uncandid misstatements of the accomplished and po lished, but not the, less malignant and black-hearted sophist—it is their business to track out the calumny and refute it. The working men ,of this kingdom have the whole of the Liberal Press at their command, and yet how rarely do we read an article that touches the public heart by the boldness and truth of its colouring— by the fidelity of its minuter touches." The folhnsmg observations are from the West Briton: —" 11linister3 say they have not been long enough in office to make, themselves acquainted with the actual condition of the country, and that they require four or five - moirths to do so. But does it need that men should be placed upon an officia elevation to look clearly around them for such evidence ? If the members of the present Government knew nothing of the state of the country when the late Cabinet propounded its remedial measures, why did they oppose those Measures ? They admit by such confession, that their only object was to embarrass and oppose the late Government. Their main purpose was to get into place. Self first —country second."

CHILD KILLED.—On Friday evening Mr. Anne's street, C HILD Higgs held an inquest at the Three . E:lms, St. -street Westminster,on the body of Sarah Simpkins, an ' infant, aged t • months. It no appeared from the evidence that deceased's mother Was extremely addicted to intoxication, and that during the whole of Monday last she was out drinking. On coming home about eight at night, she took the deceased away from a fellow -lodger, who had had the care of the child, and went to bed with her, being herself at the time in a state of extreme inebria tion. About an hour afterwards the child's father, who had been out at work all day, came home, and on going up to the bed, found, his child lying dead by the side of its mother, having evidently been smothered by her accidentally while under the stupifying influence of liquor. The jury, after expressing their regret that the evidence was not of such a nature as •to render the case cognisable by a Criminal Court, returned a verdict that deceased "Died f roin having been smothered by being overlain by her mother, when the latter was in a state of intoxication."

THE HAGUE, OCT. s.—The First Chamber in its sit-. ting to-day agreed to the projects of law relative to the (;lumber of Accounts. LUXEMBOURG, OCT. 4. —Yesterday placardS were posted up, announcing to the inhabitants that the pre paratory measures for executing the treaty for the ac oession of the Grand Duchy to the German Customs Union, are Suspended. On the Ist of this month a numerous meeting was held of the principal manufacturers of the Grand Duchy. It was resolved at this meeting to address a. petition to his Majesty the Grand Duke, requesting him to be pleased to rectify the treaty of Berlin of Bth August. The petition was signed on the spot by all the people present. Before breaking up the meetin g appointed a p ermanent Committee o six members to adopt such measures as may be required by circum stances for the interest of the manufacturer of the Grand Duchy. TUE HAGUE, OCT. 7.—ln the sitting of the SeCond Chamber to-day, a resolution of his Majesty was read, by whirl the department for Foreign Affairs, which was contidal, ad interim, on Baron Van Zuylen Van. Nyevelt, is given to Baron Van Huyssen Van liatten- • dyke; • and also another resolution,, appointing the Minister of Finance to defend the projects of law for the budget of 1842 'and 1843, in what concerns the department of Foreign Affairs. The debates on the budget then commenced. The Stairs Courant gives in. a few words the declaration of ten Members who disap prove of the Budget, which does not fulfil the hopes that the nation had conceived of retrenchment in the public expenditure. Several thought that the Budget should be voted for one quarter only. THE HAGUE, OCT. 7.—The Second Chamber conti nued the debates on the budget. M. Lazac acknow ledged that the present embarrassed state of the finances was to be ascribed to the events of the last reign; and especially to the want of an independent Ministry, and that the nation had expected that a dif • Brent system would be pursued by the new Government. The Government, it is true, had - shown its zealous wish by a number of proposals for filling up existing deficien cies and making useful improvements. Still, however, he disapproved of the proposed budget, and thought that the best way would be to reject it altogether. Mr. Van Gottstein thought a budget for one year only was preferable. He would; therefore, refuse his assent to the proposed laws, but was ready to agree to a budget for one year, in order to give the Government time to introduce a better system. Mr. Luyben wished for a reduction, and a more equal distribution of the burden, and he thought that the richer classes were nut taxed sufficiently, and the middle chases too heavily. Above all, the public creditors ought to contribute more to the public burdens. He was glad that the Government had not been induced to pro pose a budget for one year only, which would have been contrary to the Constitution. Mr. .I . .nsoleede thought that the rejection of the budget lvould lead to no practical advantage. The account he acknowledged was high, but this was chiefly the conse qusace of the adoption of the salutary principle of in cluding all the items of expenditure in the Budget, Great retrenchments, he said, could not be made—time was required ; but this did not hinder judicious im provements, particularly in the system of: taxation. `But even this required time. He thought that much was already gained by the proposal of a budget by which the Members declare that everything is pro vided for. He would vote for the budget. Some other 11Iembers expresied their disapprobation, and some said they should vote against the first chapter, " The Royal Household," for no other reason than because they wished, by rejecting the whole budget, to make way for the troduction of a budget for one year. The ministers of the Marine and Colonies, of Finance and of the Interior, answered at great length to the ob jections that had been made. The general discussion being closed, the Chamber immediately went to the vote on the'first chapter, " The Royal Household," which was adopted by ti majority of 58 to 14. The Chamber broke up at midnight. _ THE HAGUE, OCT. B.—in the Second Chamber to-day Chapter 2 of the budget, the King's Cabinet, &c., was agreed to by 32 to 21 votes. Chap. 3, Foreign Affairs, by 30 to 24 ; Chap. 4, Justice, by 37 to 17 ; and Chap. 5, The Interior, after loug debates, by 32 to 21. DUTCH FUND:3.—Astwrainag, Ocr 8. Mone% Bina.
