LONDON: TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1842. The pre.ent policy of the Bread-taxers is to turn public attention from their iniquity to some other and less flagrant wickedness. Accordingly we find the Tory Journals are now bitterly de nouncing the evils of the manufacturing system. Day after day they dwell on the enormities of employing women and children in the mills, and on setting them to work instead of their hus bands and fathers. We have no recollection that these subjects received any particular share of the attention of the Bread-taxers till they re quired them as a sort of screen for their own job. On the contrary, as long as the increase of factories took away the superfluous hands from their land, and increased its value, their avarice administered an opiate to their humanity. But now, when the factories no longer take away their superfluous hands, and the manu facturers are driven by their own necessities to question the bread-tax, every severity or cruelty ever heard of in a factory, is remembered, and magnified, in order, if possible, to conceal from the public the misdeeds of the Bread-taxers. On this account too the reports of the noto rious Short Time Committee have been paraded before the public, and it has been attempted to show, on the authority of these self-constituted representatives of the working classes, that an improvement of the factory system would be more serviceable to the people than the repeal of the Bread-tax. An extension of tradepac cording to the Committee, would only increase work, without adding to wages. To turn public attention from the Bread-tax, too, the Tory Journals dwell with emphasis on the injury which has been inflicted on the working classes by excessive speculation and excessive issues of paper-money. To the same end a letter has appeared in a Tory Journal, written from Dantzic, giving some account of the discoveries already made by one of Sir R. PEEL'S missionaries, who has found out for his employer that bread is as dear, and meatalmost as dear, in Dantzicas in England. lie has found out also that the workmen are nearly as heavily taxed abroad as at home, and that the distress is not owing to the Bread-tax, but to the large proportion of our people who are employed . in manufactures. The sufferings of the people al e, in fact, to be traced by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S hired missionaries to nature, the Legis lature is to be exonerated, and the system that crushes the nation to the earth is to be continued. That such information would be supplied we anticipated, and we are not surprised at the use now made of it. We are convinced, however, by the present exertions of the Tories, that they begin to be alarmed, and they would not trouble themselves to up this counter " Has the great experiment of negro emanci pation succeeded ?" is an important question, on which the Immigration and Agricultural Society of Trinidad has undertaken to throw light. Mr. W. HARDING BURNLEY, its President, has just published the result of its investigations. We are not much surprised, however, that the ques tion should still remain in doubt and obscurity, when, as Mr. BURNLEY says, seventeen Gover nors are writing and forwarding despatches by every packet, while numerous journals, hun dreds of letters, and many ocular wit nesses, are continually bearing testimony to the fact, on one side or the other. What darkening of counsel by many words, particularly as parties are still arrayed against each other, and the angry feelings occa sioned by the struggle to effect emancipation have not yet died away ! Nevertheless, it is a most interesting question, and we are grateful to Mr. BURNLEY for supplying us with much infor mation, and an opportunity to say a few words on the subject. For what was the experiment made ? To be nefit the sugar planters ? No. To enable them to heap up fortunes ? No. To extend the culti vation of sugar colonies ? Not even that. It was made to benefit the negroes, to promote their happiness, freedom, and civilization. We must consider the object of emancipation before we can answer the question, has it succeeded ? and we must inquire of the emancipated slave, not of his master. We only get indications of its influence on the condition of the former slaves from the complaints of their masters, and those indications seem to us to prove that the great ex periment has been eminently successful. Seven years have passed away since slavery was abolished, and what were the objections made to the abolition ? That the slaves would be riotous in their freedom—would not work— would not obey the laws—and would throw off the dominion of the planters. Have any of these fears, these predictions, been realised ? Where is the colony that has run into disorder, or gone out of cultivation, or been given up wholly to the former slaves? What West Indian pro prietor has been ruined by it? We have heard of none ; but we find many proofs that the negroes have been benefited. Mr.BURNLEY complains, for example, that they are not subject, in Trinidad, to as stringent a system as the labourers of England r though here a rigorous climate calls for continuous exertion, while in the tropics nature invites to indolence, and the absolute wants of life are few. This means that the negroes are not condemned and compelled to work for the capitalist and the planter in Trinidad, as the labourers of England are compelled to work : even the Tories now corn- plain of this. In Trinidad there has been a continual rise in wages for the last three years, to attract labourers from the neighbouring islands; and a similar rise would be a great blessing to the toil-worn people of England. Mr.BuaNLEy's com- plaint of this is a testimony to the benefit which emancipation has conferred on the negro es . - _ _ Mr. BURNLEY, however, in common with other gentlemen in his sphere of life, fancies that the negroes will not take care of themselves; and, though they now marry, attend to their dress, go to church, are not coerced by the plan ters—for, wanting their services, he is even afraid to inform against therm,--he supposes that a time will come when the planters will be ruined, and when the labouring classes of Trinidad will be in a state of helpless destitution. We have a great suspicion of all such benevolent fears, and Mr. BURNLEY does not disguise that they dic. tate to him to subject the negro to the salutary yoke of our civilization. In truth, the condition of the labourers in Tri nidad seems one of freedom, and consequently one of happiness. The planter can no longer command them as if they were slaves; and when he orders the steam in the engine -boiler to be raised in the morning, lie is uncertain whether a sufficient number of hands can be procured to carry on the work of the day. But while the negro does not work excessively in Trinidad, he seems not to fall into poverty. He imitates his former masters, and gambles for dollars, as if he were opulent as well as free. On the whole, we conclude that Mr. BURNLEY has satisfac torily proved, so far as the experiment has yet gone, and looking to the object for which it was made, not to enrich the planters, but to benefit the negroes, that the great experiment of negro emancipation has been eminently successful. - Mr. BURNLEY and the Immigration Society of Trinidad, suggest a curious mode of extending the cultivation of sugar in Trinidad, extinguish- ing the Slave-trade, and of reducing the wages of the now independent labourers, the considera tion of which we must postpone till a future day. There have been great meetings of the people at Dundee and at Bolton; and at both the decay of trade and the public distress were the painful themes most dwelt on. We supply a brief account of the former, which is remark able, because it was attended by several land owners, who go heartily along with their manufacturing neighbours in demanding the abolition of the Corn-laws. Such men may, if any can, reconcile the people to sub mit to landowners' legislation some time longer; hut we are afraid they are too few, and not sufficiently numerous, to redeem the mass, and revive in the minds of the people the senti ment of respectful obedience to the laws. The reader will see that decay and distress are nearly as great in Dundee and its neighbourhood as in Manchester and Leeds. In all Europe, according to the united testi mony of every traveller, there is no people so generally poor as the Irish. In Ireland there are few or no manufactures, and the Irish coming over to England in swarms, settling in all our manufacturing towns, have contributed to beat down wages in England to the level of wages in Ireland. When these facts are no torious, when the purely agricultural Irish are not only extremely poor themselves, but the cause of making the manufacturing English poor, it really requires a front of brass in our Tory write's to describe the manufactures of England as the cause of our people's distress. We do not accuse the Tory writers so irritation, if they did not tremble for their own monopoly. The Anti-Bread-taxers will not suffer themselves to be deluded by the tactics of the Tories; and, encouraged by the tricks and subterfuges of their opponents, they will steadily pursue their great object, and demand justice. The working classes, too, we trust, will not suffer the cunning Tories to divert them from obtain ing the abolition of the Bread-tax, which is the master grievance, to get some little melioration of the factory system. They will recollect that the faults even of that system are to be traced to the Bread-taxers, in whose hands exclusively, and not in the hands of the millowners, has been the power of making laws for the spinners and weavers, and for the masters and workmen, as well as for the agricultural labourers. In truth, the Tories do not take much pains to conceal their desire to delude and degrade the working men of England. Their Dantzic correspondent, or missionary, ascribes the dis tress of our people in part to the more numerous wants of the English workmen. The Tories blame the people for their extravagance, and would make them, as has been recommended in the Journal of the Working Glasses, to limit their enjoyments, and lower their standard of subsist ence. If the working classes can be deceived by this transparent trickery of the Tories, they will completely prove the case of their opponents, demonstrate that they are utterly destitute of political discernment, and quite unworthy to be entrusted with the franchise. Whatever may be the faults and the oppression committed by the millowners, let them be made answerable, but let the people never forget that the Bread-tax is a deliberate robbery, enacted with all the solemn pomp of law by the Parliament, and which can, and ought, to be abolished by the Parliament. r much of a desire to deceive, as of ignorance of the deceptions they practise. The fact, we be lieve, is, that the Tories have been so long accus tomed to speak of things as they wish to find them, and as they think they ought to be, that they have lost the power to discriminate between the suggestions of their own fancy and actual facts. They have talked themselves into a be lief that their laws and their rule must confer blessings on mankind, and they therefore ascribe all the miseries of the people to something else— be it what it may—than to Tory enactments. sovereignty over the seas, of which France is merely the humble vassal." The Journal des Debats has an article prais ing the Court of Peers for the justice and firm ness it displayed during the trial of QUENISSET and his accomplices. It is plain from this, that the KING has some other dirty job to bring be fore the Peers. One of the darling schemes of the KING is always to ruin his tools in public estimation by converting them to the basest uses, It is his pride to have no public man in France with an undamaged reputation. Bad as his own political character is, he may safely boast that it would be very difficult in France to contrast it with a better. From Madrid the latest accounts are of the 2d inst. M. SALYANDY was still there, but had not delivered his passports. The Spaniards were taking the affair quite coolly, and appeared proud of the firmness exhibited by the Regent. The Bulletin of the Laws publishes the ratification of the treaty of the 13th of July. The same Bulletin contains the ordinance which raises the Bishopric of Cambray to the rank of an Arch bishopric, followed by the bull on the subject in Latin, and the French translation opposite. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies for draw ing up the address has adjourned till to-morrow, in or der to hear again the Minister of War and the Minister of Marine. It is possible that it will immediately after wards choose its reporter. The members of the Committee are to examine to-day individually the papers and documents furnished by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. This morning M. de Butenieff, in his official costume, paid his visits to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and - the principle members of the diplomatic body. We find the following statement in the Journal de la Manche :—" We are assured that Admiral Baudin, dis satisfied at not being able to depart with the troops that were promised him, has asked the King to give the com mand to another officer. He expects his successor, who is Admiral Baron Mackau. " The day before yesterday, the Superior Officer of Engineers, who was to embark in La Gloire, set out post for Paris, probably to inquire into the reasons of the change in the opinion of the Ministry relative to the affair of La Plata. " Admiral Baudin has quitted the Hotel d'Angleterre with his family, to reside in a private house. " The troops embarked on board La Gloire frigate will be landed (for the present) on Monday. The ma rines will be placed in the barracks, and the 50 engi neers will be quartered in the town, in the houses of the citizens.—Constitutionnel. The article in another part of the Paper, on "Cures of Deafness," taken from Chambers' Journal, is full of interest. That weekly pub lication transferred from The Sun an account of Dr. TURNBULL'S remarkable success in curing many diseases hitherto considered incurable, and at the same time contained some remarks of the Editor, in which he described these cures as " unreal mockeries." We were rather surprised to find in a journal which deserves the highest praise for the good sense and intelligence which pervade its columns, such a remark, and wil lingly attributed it to the weakness of human nature and the prejudice which men who have made a noise in the world generally entertain against competitors. We are glad to find, how ever, that this was no‘ the reason for the super cilious treatment of the " first merely human being who caused the deaf to hear." The Editors of the Journal, as became honourable men, have since instituted...a trict and laborious inquiry; they hafe collected evidence from every quar ter whence they could get information, and so convinced are they of the erroneous opinions which they promulgated, that they have or dered that " not one other copy of the num bers containing these notices shall be given out to the public, but that a new edition of the numbers shall be prepared, from which the notices in question, shall be omitted." They further confirm their own opinions by the evidence of persons who witnessed the operations, and of many who were operated upon; among, others, the late President of the Court of Ses sion, who says, " Dr. TURNBULL did me all the good he ever pretended he could do, and that benefit still continues." The profession, in ge neral, however, did not act so honourably, for they either kept aloof, or threw every obstacle in the way, affording another remarkable proof of that cruel persecuting spirit which would crucify every rival. But Dr. TURNBULL, to his honour, was not to be put down or abashed by the coldness or malignity of profes sional envy. He felt assured in his soul that the discovery which he had made would benefit mankind, and he went on rejoicing in the spontaneous gratitude of those whom hisskill ISLAND OF AMOY.-116: Wyld, of Charing cross, has published a beautiful!' little chart of Amoy and the numerous islands in its vicinity. It appears from the soundings given that the ap proach to Amoy and the channel between it and Ko-long-soo are commodious and fit for vessels of any size, the depth varying from nine to thir teen fathoms. The chart is accompanied by lists of the British vessels engaged, and the number of guns found on the different Chinese batteries. THE LANDLORDS AND THE POOR-LAW AMENDMENT ACT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—A factitious prosperity was acquired by ie land during the war, when corn could not be imported, and when, notwithstanding the Ber lin and Milan decrees, issued against our trade, manufactures were freely exported; our navy protecting the seaboard, ,and, we being the only carriers for the world, also coerced the commerce of other countries not in amity with us. The landlord in consequence of this factitious pros perity, changed his retired habits and a coun try-life, to indulge in ostentatious and expensive pursuits,—the land being also required to supply food for a rapidly-increasing population, en couraged by relaxation in 'the practice of the Poor-laws, which began at this time, to fill up the gaps in the army and navy, and to supply food for distant armies, and the colonies which did not grow sufficient corn. In the absence of freedom of supply from other countries, price, being entirely governed by demand, bankers and capitalists freely, and without risk, lent money to augment the produce of the land. Agriculture was then in its palmy days, and in high prosperity; so also was commerce, Great Britain heir' , " at that time the worksh o p, com mercial warehouse, and mart of the world. But this prosperity of the land was factitious, not stable ; since the capital borrowed to increase the supply of food to the demand, in the absence of the competition of foreign supply, was lent in a paper circulation, and a base and depreciated currency ; upon mortgages of estates, which, whilst their products commanded war prices, wore a false lustre, beguiling only the owners, and not the wary banker, and money lender; and has been repaid, if at all, by the lender's foreclosing upon land bought at that time, or upon which money was borrowed : and these injuries and this improvidence are now attempted to be redressed, by fraud, committed upon : poverty, which being the weakest, and having few, scanty, and protected rights, is thus driven to despair ; and also by the protection of land, to sustain the pro fligate and ostentatious career of the landlord. Taxation was not complained of, till the land became oppressed, when the landlord invaded the estate of poverty, and not contented with the mischief he has thus perpetrated, is sordidly acting upon the excitable misery he has caused, by an outcry against the Poor-law; the only treacherous help he has left to poverty ; all the while the landlord being the lawmaker. Thus in aggravation of injustice, is perpetrated a gross and fanatical delusion, that the sin may be more easily covered and connived at; the first might have been generously forgiven, and attributed to ignorant and blind legislation, had not its true character of fraud become exposed in the second. by continuing the injustice under a base and wicked disguise.—Your obedient servant, relieved, and his unbought practice made whole and happy. Having relieved thousands and tens of thousands in the Metropolis, he made a tour to Paris—exciting the wonder and admiration of the faculty in a strange land. Subsequently he went to S.otland, and visited Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, &c., in all which places he made unwilling, because interested converts to the simplicity and efficacy ofhis happy discovery. If " seeing is believing "—hearing is not less convincing; for those who but a few minutes before were dull to the sweet magic of sound, almost instantaneously started up, and marvelled that a new sense was added to their existence. Those who came doubtingly, departed in thankfulness and sincere joy —and many who came to scoff, at the hopeful certainty of Dr. TURNBULL'S failure, remained to ponder, and finally believe. This is the true triumph of mind over matter—the test of genius and of skill. It was under the impression of this previous doubt and subsequent conviction, that the Messrs. CHAMBERS laboured, and have since acted so nobly, by the generous recantation of their error. They have done more—they have endeavoured to repair the damage done by applying a prompt and cordial antidote— thereby proving that genuine merit is not ashamed to avow its error. Honour to such men 1 They well deserve the homage which a discerning public awards to their literary labours. Dr. TURNBULL has now, we are happy to learn, returned to London to resume his pro fessional practice, and we heartily wish him all the success he so amply deserves. The Paris Journals of Sunday continue to dis cuss the right of search, under the milder name of "visitation," set up by Lords PALMERSTON and ABERDEEN in the case of American vessels trading on the coast of Africa. They unani mously espouse the side of the Americans, and contend that no such " visitation" can be esta blished without the voluntary consent of the Washington Cabinet. We yesterday published the substance of an article which appeared in the National of Saturday upon this question, and we this day present our readers with the re marks of the Royalist Quotidienne upon it. From the prevailing tone of the French papers, it is quite clear that were we so mad as to go to war with the United States to enforce a right of search, France would be one of the very first Powers to declare against us:— "It is for the third time since 1830 that the French Government cedes, to the pressing instances of England, the right of mutual search, under the pretext of putting an end to the abominable Slave-trade. The first conven tion was made the 30th November, 1831 ; the second, the 22d March, 1833 ; and the third one in 1841. "The stipulations of this last treaty are not exactly known. It is said that in it the Slave-trade is declared a piracy, and that, consequently, the vessels engaged in it which may be seized are to be adjudged by the tribunals of the several ports to which they may he taken. But, without searching into the mysteries of the convention concluded by M. Guizot, let us examine into the disposi tion of preceding engagements. LLO YD'S SHIPPING —(THIS DAY.)

All round the island of Mada gascar. And 3d. within a given radius of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Brazil. It results from these regulations that the English cruisers have a right of search over at least three-fourths of our merchant shipping ; because they are established near our colonies in Guiana, in the An tilles, Senegal, and Bourbon—that is to say that English cruisers can examine at all times the state of our com merce on these stations. "By an article evidently constructed for the advantage of Great Britain, it is stipulated that the right of search cannot be limited to any given number of vessels of either nation. This condition renders ridiculous the stipulations of reciprocity. It . is clear that henceforth the police of the ocean is in the hands of the nation which owns most cruisers ; and one can count on the tenacity, inborn in the English, for their drawing all the advantages possible from this police. " France has for some time past begun to under stand the true motive which influences England under its affected zeal for the suppression of the slave trade. In 1822 M. de Chatesubriand explained their views. He said It is because England, which possesses India, the Cape of Good Hope, the Isle of France, the Canadas, and the Mediterranean isles, has no need of Dominica and the Bermudas for its shipping or sailors, that we are to abandon Bourbon, Cayenne, Martinique, and Guadaloupe.' N ow it i s no longer because England does not want its Antilles that it seeks to immo late our maritime power, but because that it is neces sary for it in her immense Indian establishments to have the monopoly of colonial produce. For fifteen years the manufacturing industry of Ilindostan has been completely sacrificed for the advantage of England, but England has drawn from India in return for her manufactures an im mense and an increasing supply of tea, indigo, sugar, opium, &c. ; so that in 1839 the exportation of Beng a l sugar alone amounted to ninety millions of kilogrammes. A GIRL BURNT TO DEATH BY HER BRO- TuER.,--An inquest was holden yesterday by Mr. Baker, at the Prince Regent, Salmon's-lane, Limeh ouse , on t h e body of Elizabeth Jane Boyce, aged nine. From the evidence of deceased's parents, residing at No. 1, George-street, Limehouse, it appeared that between one and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, the mother had occasion to leave tho room, in which was de ceased and her brother, a child four years of age. She had barely turned her back before she heard de ceased scream out, " Mother, Tommy is burning me." She immediately ran into the room, and found the de ceased with the whole of her clothes in flames. They were put out, and Mr. Cummings, a surgeon, sent for, but so serious were the burns, that she died soon after. Before her death, she stated that her brother set fire to her dress with a lucifer match. The Coroner said the child who committed the act was too young for the law to take cognizance of the offence ; and the Jury returned a verdict of—Accidental death.

" All the efforts of the British Government are there. fore directed to secure the markets for this ever-increas• ing production of Hindostan ; and it is easily seen that in the war with China she is not scrupulous much about the means, nor impeded by whatever obstacles may pre sent themselves. " The French Ministers, since 1830, have assisted Eng land with a complaisance which amounts almost to treason. They abandoned, by the conv en ti on o f 1831, this ancient rule of our existence, that the flag pro tects the merchandise.' We forced the rest of Europe to follow our example, and now it is the Navigation Act of Cromwell which has become the law of nations. " Then France is no longer at the head of that great European league which shed so much blood for the liberty of the seas. She is no longer the safeguard of neutrals—the p ro t ec t or o f th e weak. She follows mo destly in the wake of Great Britain, in company with Denmark and Sweden. "It is now the American Union which protects the secondary powers that France and M.

The right of search constitutes for the advantage of England a vast THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public eptuton. "rho runs may read." FOREIGN. The right of search, which now agitates the Govern ments of, England and the United States, excites the liveliest interest in Paris. All the Liberal and some of the Legitimist Journals are opposed to the claims of England. Notwithstanding the treaty of the Five Powers, public opinion in France is decidedly opposed to our pre tensions, which are ascribed not to humanity but to selfishness, The National of Sunday, announces that Bourdon, a political prisoner in the fortress of St. Michel, had be come insane. This is the third of those unfortunate men who, in the short space of fifteen months, have gone mad, which, with one suicide, speaks strongly on the huma nity and justice of the cellular system. The Minister of War had addressed a circular to all the Colonels of regiments of infantry, .to inform them of the resolution of th e G overnment to suppress a com pany per battalion. The Miniter invites them, in the meantime, to discharge the non-commissio ne d offi cers o f the class of 1835 who might wish to quit the service, and offer them situations in Algeria. The intensity of the cold was increasing in Paris on Sunday. The Sein e was nearly covered over with float ing ice, and would, it was expected, should the frost continue, be completely frozen over in forty-eight hours more. The thermometer marked 9 degrees below zero on Friday night. On Saturday night it was lower. At nine o'clock on Sunday forenoon the temperature was still so low as 18 degrees of Fahrenheit (or 14 below the freezing point). . Letters from Lisbon of the 3d inst. announce the open ing of the Cortes, by Commission, on the previous day. A prorogation to the 21st of February instantly followed. The Portuguese Government has negotiated a loan of 1,600,0001. sterling at 5 per cent., with the Company of National Credit. For the details we refer to the Lisbon correspondence in another part of The Sun. The Prince de Joinville had left Lisbon for Toulon. PIIZLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald returns to the question of the Rural Police system, which it condemns in the most decided terms ; and asks whether its advocates consider that they improve the character of the rural population by a needless exhibition of suspicious vigilance and penal rigour, especially directed against the most paltry or the most pardonable of offences. Our Contemporary adds that the effect of this notable scheme is merely to enable a few sages in the Commission to commit some unlucky charity-boy or other, who may have been un able to repress his passion for a turnip or a Scotch kale. The Times discourses in very dismal tones on the prospects of the Tories at the approaching Dublin elec tion, and warns them that if by any apathy they allow Lord Morpeth to be returned for that city, they will in jure only their o wn i n t erests . " D es i ra b le as it is," says the Times, " that the Irish metropolis should be consti tutionally represented in Parliament, the prospective withdrawment of a single vote, howmuchsoever such a contingency might have alarmed a weak and worthless Ministry like Lord Melbourne's, will be regarded by the present Government with supreme indifference." The Post contains an article on the manufacturing sys tem, in which its observes—" Itis not enough to say that the trade of the manufacturing towns requires to be in creased. We ask why ? Where is the necessity ? Where is the benefit to be derived ? It may at once be answered that it is required, in order to allow the owners of certain large establishments to make as much money as they did formerly. But we see no force in this, un less it can be shown that the process by which so much money was made, was good for the people." The Chronicle reads a salutary lecture to Sir James Graham on the subject of his gross apostacy, and goes through the history of his countless tergiversations with an accuracy better calculated to edify than to entertain the Right Hon. heavy-headed Baronet. The Advertiser remarks, in an article commenting on the conduct:of the Church to the Dissenters—" The aris tocratic State-Church despises the lowly Dissenter ; Why does she not despise his pence, as well as his per son ? There would, in that case, be at least consistency. in her scorn ; at present, there is none." MONEY—TRADE—COMMERCE. The commercial distress at Dundee may be judged of from the fact, that during the last five years there have been 400 bankruptcies among the merchants and manu facturers of that town. At a meeting of the London confectioners, held yester day in Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of appointing a deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and represent the vast decrease of the lozenge and drop manufactures in the Channel Islands, it was shown that the present state of the sugar tariff had injured it to a dreadful extent. Previous to 1839 the enormous quan tity of from 10,000 to 15,000 tons of sugar were annually used in confectionary articles. The present decrease in the revenue on this score is between 200,0001 and 300,0001. a-year. The trade at Stirling remains in a most discouraging state : not less than three failures of houses connected with the woollen trade have taken place within the last few days. COMMERCIAL REFORM. At an Anti-Corn-law meeting of the Deputies held on Thursday at Dundee, the Rev. Mr. Low, speaking upon the outcry raised against the poorer classes for non-at tendance on Divine service, said, " Talk of people going to churches 1 why, how can they ? The last blush of virtuous shame has not yet fled from the cheek of the poor man, although the last rag of his once church-going coat has nigh fled from his back." PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. At a meeting of the Governor of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum yesterday, at the London Tavern, it appeared that 1,800 children had been so instructed in it, as to be rescued from being burdensome to themselves or country. ECCLESIASTICAL. The principles of Pusey ism, with which it is known that many of the clergy around Birmingham are deeply tainted, have manifested themselves openly in the case of an incumbent of one of the churches there, who has introduced a gilt cross over the communion table, before which the Reverend Gentleman bows and bends his knee according to the canons of the Catholic Church. IMMCTIONEERING. The Liberals are on the move at West Cornwall. The Tories are drawing up a requisition to Sir R. Vyvyan, Bart., the present Member for Helston, to become their candidate. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The Ordnance-office has just addressed a circular to the head-quarters at Woolwich, and all departments of the Ordnance service,:stating that " if the witness who first saw the light in the Tower of London had given an immediate alarm, the disastrous result might probably have been prevented," and ends in directing all persons resident in the Tower and garrisons of the kin g d om to give instantaneous notice, in case of the most trivial ap pearance of light or fire within them. LAW AND POLICE. At the Sheriff's Court, yesterday, Mr. Theodore Hook's affairs were brought before the Bench. That author's defalcations in 1831, while employed by Govern ment in the Mauritius, to the amount of 12,6004, have occasioned the Crown to put in its claim upon the pro perty left at his death, and to supersede by right of pri ority a claim made by Mr. Edwards to the amount of 4,0001. The matter was left to be contested in the Court of ExChequer. At Guildhall yesterday, James Roberts was convicted of smuggling 91bs. of tobacco, and ordered to pay a fine of 1001., and be imprisoned until the fine was paid. A Mr. William Heath, of Lower Southampton-street, was held to bail at Marylebone Police Court, for his ap pearance at the Sessions, on a charge of " havi ng th rus t his fist into the f ace o f Dr. Croker, and threatened to knock his d—d Irish head off." The Doctor himself, about a fortnight ago, was held to bail in the amount of 2001. to keep the peace towards Mr. Heath. At the same Court two cabmen were fined 10s. each—the one for creating a disturbance at the door of Mr. Harper, Surgeon, Edgware-road, and the other for being dr un k andincapable of taking care of himself and his horse. In the course of last week two men named Bragden and Smith, a woman of the name of Wright, and a Mrs. Piper, were charged at Clerkenwell Pollee -court with robbing the husband of the late of property to the value of 25/. Mrs. Piper, it appeared, had left the house of her husband with the prisoner Bragden, and had been in strumental in causing the property to be removed. She had afterwards returned to her home, where she remained with the consent of her husband, and after a short hear i4g the Magistrate discharged her and the prisoner Wright. Yesterday Mr. Piper expressed his determina tion to prosecute the other prisoners, and they were accordingly committed for trial. This being the first day of Hilary Term, most of the Judges and Leading Counsel breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his house in George-street, Hanover-square, and afterwards proceeded to their respective Courts. MITER.S.EIf: AND SCIENTIFIC. Among the extraordinary cures performed on deaf mutes by Dr. Turnbull, recently, was that of a patient, who, by the process adopted, recovered both hearing and the sense of smell simultaneously. The case furnished a proof that sound and language are closely connected. The girl cured expressed her discovery of the acquired sense, by holding out a rose to her mother, and saying " her nose had spoken." THEATEXCAL. We understand that Braham is making a very,success ful professional circuit of the United States. COU RT - PASHIONABLE. Lord and Lady Ashburton, and the Hon. Misses Ba ring, arrived at Bath House, Bolton-street, yesterday, from the Grange, near Basingstoke. The Marquis St. Aulaire, son of the French Ambas sador, arrived at Hertford House, Manchester-square, on Friday night, from Paris. The Marquis of Normanby has broken up his esta blishment in Hill-street. The Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry has an nounced his intention of holding a general ordination in London, on Sunday, March 30. The Duke of Wellington arrived in town yesterday from Strsthfieldsaye. The Marquis of Tavistoek left Bedford House yester day for Woburn Abbey. _ The Earl and Countess of Uxbridge arrived in Bruton street yesterday. MISCELLANEOUS. The Monmouthshire Merlin , says that " there is now living in the possession of Mr. T. Jones, farmer, in the county of Glamorgan, a pet-goose, upwards of forty-five years of age."—This goose must be about the same age as the Duke of Buckingham. The ice in the Regent's Park is still unsafe, and not more than 300 persons were on it at any time yesterday. Four persons were immersed in Kensington-gardens, but fortunatel ' y extricat e d, an d two i n the S erpent i ne . In St. James s the ice was very thin and rotten, but there was some fair skating ; there were some immersions, but no serious accident. Wednesday, the 26th instant, is definitively settled for the christening of the Prince of Wales. The Countess of Erne, mother of Lady Wharncliffe, expired at Hampton Palace yesterday. She was one of the Ladies of the Bedchamber for several years to Queen Charlotte. The inhabitants of Salisbury have agreed to suspend 101 business, a n d have a general holiday, when the Prince of Wales is christened. Cimarosa, the celebrated composer, died on this day in 1801. Of his twenty-six operas, "Il Matrimonio Se greto" is the greatest favourite in England. On this day also died Linnaeus, the great Swedish bo tanist. A monument of porphyry was erected to his memory in Upsal cathedral, and a medal of Mm struck by the King's order at his death. Lady Joan. Berkeley, in the reign of Henry 111., used to warm herself in the cold weather by sawing billets and sticks with a fine handsaw. Taylor, the water poet, in the reign of Ch ar l es 1., sa y s , " Now all their (the ladies) exercise is privately to saw billets." ODE TO THE POPE. BY A PUSEYITE POET. " Amongst other portentous opinions, Mr. William Palmer upholds most fervently the malignant doctrine of the persecution of heretics, and would think himself in no error to burn any one, if the state of society allowed it, who dares" depart from the opinions of what he supposes to be the Church Catholic." —Orford Cor respondent. The Pope is coming, Hurray ! Hurray I He was seen off Calais at noon, they say, And must now be half-seas over, And with him is coming a ghostly freight Of faggots and friars, in solemn state, To astonish the nerves of Dover Inquisitors, too, have been shipped by the score, And monks well versed in bigotry's lore, For 'tis said (oh, joyful sound !) That his Holiness means our eyes to greet With an Anto-da-fe, by way of a treat, On Smithfield's hallowed ground.

It appears that. the population of six counties was stated erroneously in the previous account, in consequence of the baste with which it was prepared, in order that it might be laid as soon as possible before Parliament. The following are the counties, with the correct returns of the total number of in habitants in 1841 :—Forfar, 170,4C0 Nairn, 9,218 ; Orkney and Sh e tl an d, 60 , 790 ; Ross and Cromarty, 78,980; Roxburgh, 46,003 ; and Wigtown, 39,179. The population of Glasgow was stated incorrectly to be 257,592, whereas it amounts to 267,463. There is a slight error also in the return of the population of Great Britain and the Islands in the British Seas. The correct number, including the army, navy, and mer chant-seamen on shore at the time of the Census, is 18,656,414. A MINIMUM OF WAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Opinion creeps slowly on, and there is nothing like giving it from time to time a fillip, by taking a new step into the region of the un moved. A little time ago you inserted for me an, in quiry into what would be the result in a land lord-ridden country, of everybody (saving al ways the continuance of the landlords' tax) being taken with the determination of giving away all they had in charity. And we came to the con clusion, that it would be of exactly the same effect, as giving away in charity in a ship kept purposely at sea and short of water. I now want to know, in the same manner, what would be the effect of the other nostrum so amiably recominended by the monopolists, and so kindly gulped down by their gulls and agents among the working classes; which con sists in the manufacturing employers agreeing to give their workmen any sum it might be con venient to assign in the shape of wages ? It may be said that this would come under the old head of charity. And so it would, if carried to the extreme of the imaginable. But if this is not secured, it seems to admit of an earlier solution. Suppose then it was enacted, that no manufacturing employer should offer an ordinary adult male operative less than twenty shillings a-day, and others in some defined proportion; and that by the erection of a guillotine or other wise, men were made afraid to resist or evade the law. How would the matter solve itself? Would it not be thus ? The masters would cut down their operations to such a portion as could be carried on consistently with twenty shillings a-day to so many as were em pl o y e d. And the difference, would be dismissed from employment. The immediate result, therefore, to the working classes, would be something very like one man in six having six pounds a-week, instead of six having a pound a-piece. If the guillotine was set to work to oblige the masters to pay twenty shillings a-day to as many as chose to ask for it, then the question would come very nearto the case where men without a guillotine were supposed to come to the reso lution of giving away all they had in charity. Heads or no heads, the thing could go on no longer than till the masters had nothing more to give. And then the scheme must end in the discovery as before, that in a ship short of water nothing can mend the matter but going where water is to be had. I know the nervousness of the public when they hear _of. guillotines; and purposely incur the evil for the sake of noting, that as in France the people, with less chance of knowledge, and therefore more excusable, tried all manner of follies in the way of making bread by blood, in our country it is the owners of the soil who set up the machine, and a cruelly blunt and slow kind of death it is from what I see of it, "by which the public is to be wrought into subjec tion to the quackeries of the greatest dunces that ever ruled in an industrious nation. A member of the Chamber of Deputies con eluded every speech on every subject, with— liberte illimitie de la presse. In addressing coma mercial men and bread-eaters, it might be ex. cusable in the same way to wind up every argu . ment, with the one word of compensation. Yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Manchester, Bth January, 1842. Dr. Turnbull, who has been on a tour in the north, and successfully curing and converting many un believers in his discoveries (as will be seen by an extract in this day's paper), has returned to his residence in Russell-square. OMNIBUS ROBBE RY. —Yesterday information was received at the various station-houses of the Me tropolitan and City Police, that between one Land two o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last a gentleman, named Marshall, residing at No. 34, Newman -street, Oxford-street, was robbed while proceeding in an omnibus between Whitechapel Church and Bow Church, Cheapside, of a small Russia leather pocket-book, con taining 801. in Bank of England notes, viz., one 50/., one 201, and one 101., besides a Post-office order and other papers and memorandums.
