QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND. LAYMOUTH CASTLE,TERTIISHIRn, FRIDAY NIGHT, TwELVE O'CLOcic.—This day was not so favourable for out-door exercise as yesterday, inasmuch as it rained continuously during the greater part of the morning; but, nevertheless, her Majesty walked out in the reserved grounds, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert went to the preserves shooting at the • early hour of nine o'clock. Her Majesty and the Prince were witnesses in the afternoon of a set of highland dances in front of the Castle, with which they seemed to be very much de lighted. This national exhibition was attended by a great number of the neighbouring nobility and gen try, as well as by those who happened to be visitors in the Castle. Sir Robert Peel was among the number, and the Right Hon. Baronet looked on the sport very gravely. Mr. Fox Maule was also present, very actively engaged in arranging the dancers and - placing the swords in the sword dance. His Royal Highness Prince Albert returned at half-past three o'clock to luncheon, after having had a good day's sport. • A grand ball, to which 100 persons were invited, closed the evening in the most brilliant manner. The grounds on the occasion were illuminated as beauti fully, but not so extensively as on the night of her Majesty's arrival. Among the mottoes was one—the ' largest and most conspicuous, arranged on a slope of the lawn—containing the w ords " W4lcome Victoria and Albert." This was placed directly in front of her Majesty's apartments, and had a fine effect seen from the Castle. The trees opposite the mansion were hung as on the night of her Majesty's arrival, with variegated lamps, presenting to the eye a perfect re alization of the fabulous garden of Hesperides. A portion of the Castle was also illuminated. Her Majesty was very much pleased with the dance and the ball, and altogether with the reception she has met with at the hands of her subjects in the Highlands. Her Majesty leaves Taymouth Castle to-morrow Morning at ten o'clock ; and it is intended that she shall he rowed down Loch Tay, to Killen, a distance of sixteen miles, should the weather be sufficiently fine for that purpose. Her carriages are to follow, on the road which leads along the margin of the lake, to be in readiness should a sudden shower occur, or anything happen to render boating unpleasant to her Majesty. There are some Admi ralty watermen from Whitehall-stairs here at present, and they undertake to land her Majesty at the extre mity of the lake, a distance, as I have stated, of 16 miles, in 2+ hours. Should the day be propitious, her Majesty will have a fine opportunity of seeing some of the most lovely scenery in this kingdom, in mist ing along the shores of this beautiful piece of water. After the dance this Afternoon, her Majesty drove • out in company with Prince Albert. On the road she was loudly cheered by the hundreds who beset ' all the avenues to the Castle, waiting patiently in the hope of obtaining a passing glimpse of the Royal per son. Tier Majesty is always designated the "Bonnie lassie " by her simple, but honest and warm-hearted subjects in this part of the Highlands ; and the hap piness of those who have seen her is indescribable. Her Majesty will not leave Scotland until this day week, Friday next, at the very earliest, as she is most amiably anxious that the people of Edinburgh and the adjacent country shall.have an ample opportunity of seeing their Sovereign now that she is in this country. If her Majesty, therefore, should not leave until the Friday, she will not reach London till the Monday following. PRINcE ALBERT AT DEER- STALKING.. DlT3acm.D, FRIDAY; -SE P T.'9. Thur - sitay morning was , ushered in by- dense clotuiS i . • of ;vitt, enveloping the sides and completely conceals:' ins; eke - stunt - nits of 'the surrounding hills. and - itoun tains, and shortly after the hour of sunrise these misty clouds fell in alternate heavy showers and drizzling rain, filling the gravelly bottomed ravines and beds ,of mountain-rills with gushing streams of water, and addinfe to the freshness of the verdure on their-hanks and thesaichly .wooded country, and greatly enliven ing the whole scene. The rain continued to fall until past nine o'clock, but it did not prevent Prince Albert from proceeding with his noble entertainer, the Mar quis of Breadalbane, to the summit of Tullohoule, to enjoy the truly highland sporkof deer stalking. The • Prince and the Marquis left the Castle on horseback, and were joined by Sir Alexander Campbell, Bart., of Barcaldine, having under his charge the game keepers and foresters, upwards of thirty athletic and ;fine looking men, all dressed in full highland cos tume, made of shepherd tartan, each having a powder horn slung over his shoulder. W. Bowie Campbell, Esq., joined at the same time with up wards of one hundred Highlandera in full costume of the Breadalbane tartan, and all marched in military form two deep to the base of Tullohoole, where Prince Albert and the Marquis of Bre:ulalhane dismounted from their horses, and his Royal Highness having re ceivt d a double-barrelled fowling-piece from his own gamekeeper, comm2nced the ascent of the steep hill, where the , :sport - Was to• commence. Sir .Alexander earnnb7ll and V. Thwie Campbell, who were distin _ re,.pective . companies of men by I: ea4le's.feather in his bonnet, splendid rieldy mounted, and the whole of the in ,,f tfAr ,•tatioa and near relationship to , their clnef, having pointed out -the modes in which the sports of the day were to be carried on, the men di vereeel to the right and left of the Prince, and soon extended over • a circle of several miles, when they gradually advanced towards the centre, forming a less and less circle, clapping their hands . and shouting at :the height of their voices, startling the roes and other same, and ultimately concentrating numbers into a .circle of about 500 yards in diameter. Thefrightened .Toes bounded past with great swiftness, and all broke ti urugh the circle without being near enough to be fir 'ss - 1 at, with the exception of three fine fat animals, kill ea by the Prince. P. evious to the concentration of the second formed circle► into a small compass , we were able to reach the north ern extremity of. the forest, and the weather by that t i - me having become fine, the scene was one of the Most romantic description that could be imagined, as the, men simultaneously emerged from amongst the trees in a half-moon form, extending from a mile and a half to two miles in length, and gradually approxi mating to each other around the Prince and the Mar quis. While this circle was gradually lessening, se veral fine black cocks were startled, and one of them having flown past Prince Albert, his Royal Highness brought him flown at a distance of about 200 feet. The Noble Marquis lifted up the bird; and he proved to be a very fine one. Being the first shot by - Prince Allscut, the Marquis paid a well merited compliment to the excellency of the aim of his Royal Highness, which the Prince acknowledged in his usual accom pliubed and graceful manner, lifting his hat from his heaJ, c7idently delighted with his success. It as particularly worthy of remark that the Prince, although affording proofs of the superiority of his capd'iilities as a sportsman, was uncommonly careful, and lust many a fine roe because he would not fire when he heard the voices and clapping of hands of the Highlandmen on their near approach, and could not distinguish their exact position when concealed arnoneest the trees. The Highlandmen were very shrewd, and although they appeared not to know what fear was, they observed this trait in his Royal High ness's character; and spoke in the most unmeasured terms of their approbation of the amiable manners and den teanour of the Prince on this occasion. His Royal highness had several excellent shots at this spur, and b ro ught down grey .hens, muirfowl, par tridges, mut hares, previous to the deerstalkers closing in the circle, in its smallest compass. .. • „ e „ During the day the Prince could not hive traversed a less space of ground on foot than from eighteen to sweaty miles if the windings and changes of position 'un'Y be calculated, and the scene throughout was one -61 uneeasing and most exciting interest to all engaged it and the very few strangers who were present.

Almost close to the castle the waters of the Tay occasionally appeared in •viety through the ri c h groups of venerable trees ornament its banks with the ir un v d 'vid and h ar moraious foliage. In the back ground lu e g p gracefully the high hill of Drummond, cloth e d with al a liine pi i n d esto its Summit.

At an elevation of about :100 feet above the banks of the Tay, the Prince had some delightful sport, hav ina from amongst the magnificent and venerable biro is trees, brought down a capercailzie, fortunately only slightly injured in the wing. The head game zeept T to the Marquis toll: charge of this splendid bi'rd, 7, early equal in size and appearance to an eagle, assn h e ,was shown to her Majesty, and there is every pi via - shill. ta' be will be kept alive at Windsor Castle • or auckiaghana Palace.

Ards of 22 lei, THE SUN, LOND . ON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 1-1, 184 E beauty—not one blackor barren spot to meet the eye, but everywhere, on every side, the most luxuriant verdure and finest foliage and grouping, which it would require the pencil of a Salvator Rosa, or the pen of a Sir Walter Scott, to attempt to delineate, to convey anything like an adequate idea of their roman tic nature and pure harmony, relieved in the back grounds, as the whole is, by the charming neutral tints and deep blue of the surrounding mountains. The roads throughout the entire extent of these High land straths appeared more like the approach to some wealthy nobleman's residence than the highway of her Majesty's subjects; and the triumphal arches erected in honour of her Majesty's visit, formed in a very chase and tasteful manner, covered with bloom ing heath, and in many instances surmounted with deer, roes, and black cock, with expressions of the warm sentiments of Highland hearts, such as " Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, ye'r welcome to ye'r Jlieland glens," must have created a feeling of un alloyed delight in the bosoms of the Royal pair. 'There was one peculiar trait in the conduct of the gallant Highlanders, as they closed their circle to within from two to ihree hundred yards of the Prince, and as they passed near to him on other occasions, which must have made his Royal Highness more at ease than he otherwise would have been, from his na turally retiring disposition—not one of them stared at the Prince, but acted in the most becoming man ner, and with as much self-possession as if they had seen his Royal Highness a thousand times. There was no etiquette, no ceremony; and there Was no symptoms to denote the presence of Royalty, except that the sport itself was of a nature fit only to be par taken of by the highest in the land. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM TAYMOUTH. (From the Caledonian Mercury of Monday.) S:ITURDAY.—Very fortunately this day, which was appointed for her Majesty's departure, was a beau tiful September morning, the sun shining bright, and the temperature mild. It was expected that her Ma jesty and Prince Albert would leave the hospitable halls of Taymouth at ten o'clock, so that all was astir for an hour previous, every one being anxious to get a parting glimpse of the Royal pair.' At a few mi nutes before eleven o'clock, the Royal carriage drew Up at the entrance, and soon after her Majesty and Prince Albert, along with the Marquis and Mar chioness of Breadalbane, entered it and drove off to the Flower-garden, where her Majesty, in presence of the illustrious party, was graciously pleased to plant two oaks, and two firs, in commemoration of the Royal visit. Mr. Dewar, the head forester, attended on the occasion, and the small spade used had the handle encircled 14 ith crimson velvet, and no doubt will be long preserved as a valuable relic, while the Royal plants will be carefully cherished, and, we trust, are yet destined to obtain a time-honoured name. On her .Majesty leaving the Castle, a Royal salute was given from the battery. The barges, which had been manned an hour previously, were all floating gracefully on the waters opposite to the landing place, which is a few hundred yards below Kenmore Bridge. The Royal suite walked up from the Castle to the place of embarkation, which was covered with crimson velvet; but her Majesty, with Prince Albert and the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane, immediately after the ceremony of planting the trees, drove up to the Kenmore-gate, and from thence to the Dairy-gate, at the back of the village of Ken more, and which is immediately adjoining the pier. The barge of her Majesty, which had the Royal sOndard hoisted at the prow, was steered, i;iy Captain M`Doligal), Royal Nary : _AR the . -,seats were cuSgilited. :with the ,I.lreadalbane , tartan, and, those i~s''~the stern Slheets were fringed gold; :the' cahioriS.'set apart for her Majesty were covered with velvet of the Breadalbane tartan, the drapery in front was of brown satin, on which the emblem of the Brea.dalbanes—a boars head—Was - beautifully . em broidered " along With a wreath 'of thistles. The atvning was also of the same material, and handsomely decorated with gilded knobs. .The other barges which displayed the Breadalbane flag were of an elegant construction, and chastely adorned. A few minutes previous to her Majesty's arrival at the landing place, the band of the G6th were received on board one of the gigs, which was steered by an Admiralty barge man in state dress ; another gig, also steered by an Admiralty bargeman, took the first in tow, bringing it up a little way beyond the bridge, which was crowded with spectators. At half-past eleven o'clock, her Majesty stepped into the Royal Barge, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane. The beautiful fabric was immediately propelled by eight stout rowers, arrayed in tartan and white trowsers, into the centre of the creek, the band playing the na tional anthem, and the crowd on the bridge enthusiasti cally cheering. As the barge glided through one of the arches of the bridge into Loch Tay, ,we thought at the moment that the scene was as impressive as any we have witnessed during the Royal tour. The Loch Tay barge followed, which was steered by Lieutenant J. Campbell, R.N. (L.), in full uniform, and wearing an Acre medal. In this barge were the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duchess of Norfolk, the Earls of Mor ton and Liverpool, and Lord Belhaven. The third barge, which was steered by Lieut. Patrick Campbell, R.N., contained the Earl of Aberdeen and the Hon. Fox Maule. A fourth barge succeeded, in which were Sir Robert Peel and others. As the flotilla swept past two barges of the Noble Marquis, which were moored a short way above the ,bridge, a salute j was fired from the latter, while the more powerful battery on the westward of the Castle also delivered a salute which reverberated among the hills and had a fine effect. Altogether, we repeat our conviction that this was one of the finest spectacles connected with the Royal visit, and formed a meet conclusion to the memorable festivities of Taymouth Castle. The assemblage collected on the bridge lingered on for a considerable time, regarding the progress of her Majesty amidst the wooded hills on either side. A short way up from the bridge the view opens up and discloses the Alpine scenery to the westward, amidst which the Royal party proceeded to Achmore, a seat of the Marquis of Breadalbane. The High landers had been despatched on their march to this point at five o'clock in the morning for the purpose of forming a guard of honour. After partaking of a luncheon at this seat, her Majesty and Prince Albert took a kind leave of their noble host and hostess, and proceeded along with the Royal suite in carriages to Drummond Castle. HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL AT DRUM MOND CASTLE. Her Majesty and Prince Albert reached Crieff exactly at half-past six, preceded by a body of tenantry on horseback. Warning was given of the Royal approach by a salute from the battery at Ochtertyre, at two miles distance from Crieff. The inhabitants of this place turned out along the road, in anxious expectation of the Royal arrival, the shops being all shut and business suspended, and the interior of the place appearing quite deserted. When the dragoons were seen, it happened that the mail from Stirling to Perth was journeying up hill on the road leading from Drummond Castle, and, of course, immediately in the way of the Royal cortege. At one time a collision seemed inevitable, and just at the awkward angle of the road, but by great exertion, the driver got the horses pushed up the brae, and-the coach drawn in the opposite direction, just in time to leave a clear way for the party of dragoons approaching rapidly in advance of the Royal carriage. On passing through a beautiful triumphal arch, erected at the entrance of the town, the inhabitants of Crieff were not behind other places in their loud demonstrations of loyalty. In a few minutes afterwards the Royal party arrived at Drummond Castle, the avenue of which was lined by 500 of the tenantry on horseback, along with a much greater number on foot. At the en trance of the Castle a body of the 42d were drawn up as a guard of honour, and upwards of 100 High landers in the Drummond tartan completed the cordon. The band of the 6th Carabineers was stationed on the lawn. The Royal carriage had been closed after passing through Crieff, in con sequence of the state of the weather, and the ap proach of the evening. There was great cheer ing along the whole avenue, which was, if pos sible, redoubled on her Majesty's alighting from her carriage. Lord and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby re ceived the Royal guests at the entrance, and conducted them with all form into the Castle. The troops and the Highlanders were then dismissed, the latter being summoned to assemble again on Monday morning. On p a ssing through Crieff her Majesty and Prince Al bert both appeared somewhat fatigued after their jour ney. In the evening Crieff was brilliantly illumi nated, and there was a display of fireworks, in honour of the event. Bonfires blazed on the adjoining hills. Numerous banners floated from the tops of many of the houses in Crieff, and in many conspicuous si tuations. On Thursday last sixty men of the 42d Highlanders arrived from Scone Palace, awl have since encamped on Thornhill, which is a short way to the west of the Castle. The preparations, which are here on an extensive scale, have been proceeding for some time. Upwards of 100 o f the Highland tenantry are equipped in the Drummond tartan, some with - Lochaber axes, others l with rifle s , and the remai,ider with swords and buck terso d . They h ave b een zealously drilled during the l ast two days by two officers of the 42d, in presence of Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby , and the other noble guests w h o are sojo urning at Drummond Castle. The pavili on whereher3 fitted Majesty withwith t t h h e e r t u o y ru a . l party will di ne i s splendid mond arms—th e three waving ' up bars, &c. The w a ll s are hung with re d and with dahlias and o th er drapery decorated fio - w ve ers ow and different devic es, executed in gold. This ed i fice is supported by twenty imitation marble columns, placed at equal dis tances, the space betwixt each being filled up with the Drummond arms. The roof is hung _ with blue lining studded with stars. The pavilion is 50 feet by 25 in dimensions. It has been arranged that his Royal Highness will this day (Monday) proceed on ' a hunting excursion to Glenartney, which is distant about two miles from Drummond Castle. DRUMMOND CASTLE AND ITS ENVIRONS. castle Drummond, seated boldly on the side of a hill, amidst a fine extent of woods, commands a very noble view down towards Strathearn. The house is by some judges considered unequal to the situa tion; its dimensions, though not large, are comely, and its present claims are not on the side of antiquity. At the rear of the present edifice are to be seen some remains of the old castle, built by Sir John Drum mond, hereditary steward of Strathearn, in 1493, after removing from the ancient seat of the family. at Stobhall. Around Drummond Castle all is classical ground. Approaching it from the termination of Strathearn and from Comrie, the plain, of some extent, appears, which was occupied by Agricola, immediately before the battle of Mons G rampi us, and the very spot pre serves the name of Galgachan, as if derived from Galgacus, leader of the Caledonions at that fatal en gagement. Weapons and other instruments are found on this spot, spurs, battle-axes, and iron bands. Ancient and renowned ground also bounds it at two or three miles on wards to Kemp's Castle, all about which is supposed to have been the busiest scene of action in the third year of Agricola's expeditions. At Strageth, also, on the banks of the Earn, are the vestiges of the small Roman station, which is supposed to have been the Ad Hiernam of Richard of Cirencester ; but at Ardoch is the famous one, the area of which is an oblong of 140 yards by 125, and which is supposed to be the most complete of any in Great Britain ; by the care of Sir William Stirling, Bart., whose man sion is adjacent, it has been enclosed with a high stone wall to preserve it from future demolition. As regards the village of Muthil, which is situated on the great military road from Stirling to Inverness, Drummond Castle stands to the westward. The illustrious family of Perth, who once owned it, were proprietors of more than two-thirds of the parish, whose population in 1811 was 3,090. The family derive themselves from Mauritz, an Hungarian of Royal blood, who having the conduct of the mother and sisters of Edgar Atheling; in their flight from the -Norman usurper, was, with his Royal charge, driven by a storm into the Frith of Forth. The reigning Monarch, Malcolm Canmore, became enamoured of, and afterwards married one of the sis ters ; and in reward to Mauritz, for his skilful pilot-% age, made him a considerable grant of lands, and caused him to assume the name of Drumen, which has since been converted into Drummond, meaning the high ridge, but, figuratively, the great wave of the sea, in memory of the perils from which he had delivered the fair Queen. _ _ , Drummond Castle was besieged immediately aftei the burning of the church of Monivard, the chieftain and his followers having retired thither to screen themselves from punishment. It soon surrendered, however, to the King, James IV., on condition that their lives should be preserved ; but as soon as the King got them into his power he carried them to Stirling, where they suffered. The castle was after wards besieged, taken, and garrisoned by Cromwell's forces ; and finally, at the Revolution, was totally. demolished. The ruin of the old family was com pleted in 1745, when the Duke of Perth, by an un fortunate attachment, forfeited the ancient estate; to the amount of four thousand a year, and lost his life, worn out with the fatigues of the winter's campaign. . .The- tirr of rugged. grandeur— . --the celebrity which attaches to the time-honoured relies of antiquity, have of course disappeared with the ancient edifice. The modern .building, ,however s is prepossessingly con structed, and few tourists fail to visit it for the at tractions of scenery it commands. • THE DOVER CROPPING CASE. . . DOVER, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT.. 10.-- : —We un derstand,that Sir James Graham has sent a gentleman dojwnjto - DoVer to investigate' the case of the cutting off of the hair of Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, _comedians, in Dover gaol, by order of the gaoler whilst they were waiting for bail on Wednesday, the 31st of August last ; and that the investigation will take place on Monday next. The spirit of indigna tion which this arbitrary act has aroused is highly creditable to the public; and its being brought to light gives another proof of the immense power and usefulness of the public Press, without whose aid the ill-treatment of these poor players might have been confined to a very narrow sphere. As this case has created no little interest in the public mind, we think it proper to narrate the cir cumstances out of which it - arose. They are briefly these :—Mr. Frederick Fox Cooper was the manager of Dover theatre at the time of the fracas between him and his performers, which, it appears, called for magiste rial interposition. The business had for weeks previous been but indifferent, and the manager had got in ar rears with his company, certains members of which, among others the cropped comedians, thought he did not pay them up in anything like a, fair and honest proportion, according to the receipts of the house, and consequently,:on the night of his benefit, after the audience had assembled, they struck, telling him that they would not go on till he either paid up their sa laries or compromised the matter. 'This proposal was rejected, the actors still stood out, and the house was consequently dismissed. Next morning Messrs. Fitz • james and Gladstone appeared at the bar of the police court, charged with assaulting Cooper.. Mr. Fitz james was convicted of the assault, and fined 10s. ; after which the same parties were held to bail for threatening,Cooper, and not having bail at hand, com mitted, and remained an hour or two in custody of the Dover gaoler, during which time the cropping of the. hair and other indignities were inflicted on them. On the Friday following Messrs. Fitzjames and Glad stone took out summonses against Mr. Coulthard, the Dover gaoler, for assaults ; and for the report of the case, with the singular decision; the public) are in debted to the Dover Chronicle, though we perceive the London papers give the credit of it to the Kentish' Observer, which copied it from the Dover paper. The gaoler, in his defence (it ought to be particu larly observed) , stated, as an extenuation of his bar barity towards Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, that other gentlemen—a Mr. Beresford and a Mr. Baring —had also been cropped in Dover gaol ; but he did not add the fact that the operation was performed on these gentlemen (who were in his custody for some time—one of them for months—and were denuded of theif hair) by a fashionable barber in the usual style, .j while Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone were rudely deprived of theirs by the inexperienced hands of a common felon. Previous to " clearing the Court" of reporters and all (an universal practice with our Dover Midases, before they come to a decision, however plain-sailing the case may be), Mr. Fitzjames, who is a spirited young fellow, and an excellent light comedian, called on the Bench to visit with its censure the treatment they had met in Dover gaol ; and expressed a hope, that whatever prejudice might exist against actors, they would not be influenced by suck prejudice. Though he was now a poor player, he was by birth and education a gentleman; and, as could be attested by individuals in Dover, he had at no distant period occupied a situation in society equal to themselves. If the Mayor of Dover and the majority of the brother Justice Shallows that were on the bench on came to the conclusion th a t th e Dover gaol was "perfectly justified" Friday, ""governor" oven Io the r" 2d o f t., in his brutal treatment of Messrs. Fitzjames and Gladstone, we know that many of his brother Ma gistrates hold a very different opinion, and that they feel extremely sorry that the place has been disgraced by this outrageous proceeding, which has called forth almost universal condemnation. The Dover people have of late been - not a little astonished at some former curious decisions of the Magisterial bench, which the local Press, it would appear, is not independent enough to expose ; but now that the London journals have got access to the secrets of the prison-house, it is to be expected that it will not fail to inflict upon them that degree of ani madversion which they may hereafter merit. SUGAR INSURANCES. A Correspondent makes several observations on the charge for insurance of sugar, which, he says, has a tendency to injure the port of London, th e c h arge from Jamaica to London being 50s. per cent., to Glasgow 355., and to Bristol or Liverpool 30s. The reason assigned for the difference of premium to Lon don is the Channel ; and our Correspondent, remark ing that, on an average, vessels bound to London and Bristol would keep together till 30 or 40 miles S.W. of the Land's End, observes that we have only to cal culate the amount of risk from that point to London or Bristol, to judge if the premium to the former be overcharged or not. Now, it seems the insurance paid on sugar from Bristol to London is, at most, 12s. per cent., and, that this sugar must exactly traverse from Bristol to the point where the Jamaica vessels parted company, and then traverse to London the ground taken by the London vessel. From the dan ger of the Channel, the premium is then apportioned as follows :—namely, 3s. 6d. to the point where the Jamaica vessels parted company, and Bs. 6d. thence to London. According to this estimate, the premium from Jamaica to the point referred to being obtained by deducting 3s. 6d. from 305., is 265. 6d., and if Bs. 6d., be added to this for the risk of the Channel, the premium to London ought only to be 355. We do not by any means design to vouoh for the correct ness of the calculation, but as it seems to be worked out with some care, we state it without comment. Morning Paper. RE-OPENING OF•LONDON- BRIDGE FOR VEHICLES. — This bridge, which has been undergoing a thorough re paving since the 15th of last month, was opened on Mon day morning. The new pavement is laid down in gra nite stone, with a strong layer underneath, so as to with- Stand the wet and the great daily traffic.

What might be the ultimate consequence can be as little known to the Post as to us; we, however, are inclined strongly to recommend our rulers to do right, and trust in GOD; abolish the Corn-laws, give the people food at present, and leave the future to HIM, whose eye already sees the whole. Only let the Post join with us in procuring free trade and fill bellies for the people, and it may safely rely that everything it can desire for society— - all other graces, Will follow in their proper places. We insert, in another part of The Sun, a letter signed "H. P.," of which we willingly accept the compliments, and shall endeavour to reply to the objections. Our Correspondent says, in reference to an article which appeared in our paper as long ago as the 3d instant, that a sentence in it "is a jumble." It is very pro bable that, writing without time to revise our sentences, we have expressed ourselves ob seurely ; but our Correspondent must be sensible that. legislation is not intended to operate on the past—that the present is a mere line which divides the past from the future—and that in fact, all laws are intended to operate at a future time. Now, our statement was—that " the pre sent condition of the manufacturing population was neither foreseen nor provided for by any scheme of legislation ;" " that it had grown up, as it were, in the course of nature, would con tinue to grow, and that the legislator should now endeavour to adapt his laws to what will be the condition ,of society in future, if he can ascertain it." This may be a jumble, and it may be impossible to ascertain the future state of society ; but the principle we laid down is not our own—it is borrowed from no less estimable a ) philosopher than Mr. DUGALD STEWART. He says, in the first volume of his " Moral Phi losophy"— " It is easy for a statesman to form to himself a dis tinct and steady idea of the ultimate objects at which a wise legislature ought to aim, and to foresee that modifi cation of the social system, to which human affairs have of themselves a tendency to approach ; and, therefore, his practical sagacity and address are limited to the care of accomplishing the important ends which he has in view, as effectually and as rapidly as is consistent with th 6 quiet of individuals, and with the rights arising from actual establishments." He was . fully convinced that society is go verned by natural laws of its own, which it is the business of scientific men to discover; that having discovered some, or all of them, it is possible to foresee or predict the future condition of society ; and that it is the duty of the law maker, to frame his enactment so as to accord with that Condition. In this spirit he also says— " We may venture to predict that they are. to be the most successful statesmen, who, paying all due regard to past experience, search for the rules of their conduct chiefly in the peculiar circumstances of their own times, and in an enlightened anticipation of the future history of mankind." In the following passage he comes to the prac tical point, and plainly tells statesmen, which is quite" iii.Coriftirtnity tip 'experience, that they mugt . get or the rubbish: of ancient' institu tions,. the offspring of igr.orance and bad passions; and not be in a hurry to put up others in their stead : "In • the Governaients • of modern Europe it is mueh more necessary to abolish old institutions than to intro duce new ones, and if this relbrmation be kept steadily in view. and not be pushed further at any time 'than cir cumstances render expedient, or the ideas of the times recommend, the essential principles of a more perfect order of things will gradually establish themselves without any convulsion." We hope we have said enough to obviate the censure of our Correspondent. We shall only add, that if he were acquainted with all the dif ficulties of our position he would be slow to blame either obscurity of style, or a meaning half expressed, when we approach—as we are, from the condition of the country, fre quently obliged—the first principles of society. A singular question for discussion is to be brought before the Town Council of Edinburgh in a few days, but after the remarkable proceed ings of that body lately, in reference to the im prisonment of a poor man for selling " sweeties" on Sunday, and the ridicule they have incurred, perhaps unjusay, by the Grantors Pier affair, the public will not be surprised at any decision they . may give. The event which they are to take into serious consideration is not of yesterday, but took place nearly fifty years ago, and it appears had been brought under the notice of their worships by a Tory Bailie, who hates the very- name of Reform, and who would on that account persecute the memory of those who in - 1793 sacrificed their liberty in the cause. Some of our readers will remember that about four years ago subscriptions were raised for erecting monuments in . London and Edin burgh to the Scotch Reformers, who, towards the close of the last century, were banished for pro. posing measures which Lord GREY proposed then, brought forward afterwards, and finally car ried. The Committee appointed to carry the object of the subscribers into effect, after some difficulty obtained leave from the Town Council to erect the Scotch monument on the Calton-hill, but they have since demurred to the grant, on the objec.: tion raised by some three or four Bailies, that Mum and his unfortunate comrades were " men unworthy of any memorable notice, having been legally tried and convicted by the law of . their country." Instead of rejecting at once such an ungenerous plea for casting dishonour on the dead, the Council adjourned the question for some weeks, in order to give the members an opportunity of reading the trials, so as to be en abled to decide on the justice of the motion. Some idea, therefore, may be entertained of the reading, as well as the intelligence, of these sa pient Councillors, who appear to be ignorant of one of the most remarkable events in the history of their country, and are obliged to refer to the State Trials for information. Had the Lord Provost, who is now called " JAMIE FORREST," been true to the Liberal principles which he pro fesses, or acquainted with the events of which the lowest, peasant would be ashamed to admit his ignorance, he would have raised his voice against this new system of persecution, and boldly told these Tory Councillors, as the House of Com mons was told at the time, that the sentence or MUIR and PALMER was " most unjust, illegal, and oppressive." Some of the first men of that day described the deed in' language still stronger. Mr. Fox, in 1794, said, "in examin ing the trials, he_never could believe they were accuratelystated until he heard the Lord Advocate avow the same doctrines which had been attri buted to him—doctrines which made his blood run chill with horror." Several other Members of the House, as well as Peers, expressed similar sentiments. These sentiments are now confirmed by the universal voice of the country ;• and all seem aware of the fact, except the intelligent Town Council of Edinburgh. We have received a letter on the subject, for which we cannot find room to-day; but in the meantime we exhort the respectable inhabitants of Edinburgh to raise their voice against such an act of persecution, and thereby avert an act which would be an eternal disgrace to their city. The late allocution of Pope GREGORY XVI., detailing the negotiations between the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh and the Holy See, on the sub ject of the persecution of the Roman Catholic religion in Poland by the Russian Government, is exciting much attention in Berlin, Vienna, and Paris. The Cabinet o f Vi enna has i.lways been peculiarly sensitive upon the subject of the persecution of a fititli profesed by the I m p er i a l head of theholy Roman Empire ; and even the King of PRUSSIA, as head of the German Lutheran Church, regards the Greek religion as much more corrupt, as well as dangerous, than the Roman Catholic. But it is on political grounds that the exposure by-the POPE of efforts making by Russia to compel her Polish subj ects to embrace the Greek communion, excites tile most serious alarm. It is felt that while the Poles adhere to their religion, they can never become amalgamated with Russia. Let the CZAR do what he will, the Poles will be Ger mans to the heart's core while they continue Roman Catholics. This is well understood by the Emperor NICHOLAS. He is aware that the nominal conquest of Poland is little worth, while, as head of a hostile creed, he can acquire no in fluence over their minds. As if to counteract the designs of Russia, the King of PRUSSIA. chooses this moment to confer favours upon his Polish subjects, and to express displeasure at the re strictive commercial policy of the CZAR. Russia is in fact assailed on the one side by Prussia, and on the other by the POPE. We anticipate im portant results. We have frequently complained of the igno rance which French journalists manifest when treating of British policy. This complaint we cannot reiterate in referring to an article in the Journal des Debats of Sunday, on the policy of Sir R. PEEL. Our French Contemporary is as happy, as he is correct in his description of Sir ROBERT'S tactics, which have proved so fatal to the old Tory faction. •We should observe that Sirnt. PEEL has always been a favourite with the Debats. What the writer regards as singu larly characteristic of the Conservative Premier, namely, his quarrelling oftener with his friends than his enemies, is the result of his being in a false position. The real truth is, that Sir -R. PEEL himself is not, and never was, a Tory. He was a Whig, and is a Whig to this hour ; but personal jealousy forced him early into a false position, from which he never recovered himself. This is the real key to what appears to have puz zled the Debats at the outset of the following ex tract It is a singular characteristic of this English states man, that he is :much oftener at loggerheads with his friends than with his foes. Sir Robert as a practical man, caring little for theories except for the realisable part of them, or for general principles, except such portion of them as is immediately applicable. He, therefore, is apt to accommodate his political ideas to the exigencies of time and circumstance, and to re duce his conceptions to the smallest size. This angers extreme parties, who look on politics from the heights of speculation, and trouble their heads but little about what is practical. Nevertheless, Sir Robtrt Peel has shown himselT certainly most cruel towards his friends. They. confided in him dictatorial power, and un bounded confidence • in return for which h e h as abro gated, destroyed, and showed the vanity of all those illusions of theirs, which he helped to create, at least, by his acquiesence. The real Tories, or o ld landed interest, who quitted power in 1830, have remained un changing in the ideas which they entertained at.that epoch, whilst Sir Robert, and his Conservative placemen, have modified their opinions with each advancing year, and accepted a world of changes and reform as faits accomplis, which their followers still continue to anathematize and abhor. If Peel had told the electors before the election what he was going to do with the Corn-law, Poor-law, Income-tax, &c., &c., Sir Robert Peel would h ave had an ins;gnificant minority. He was indeed discreet, held his tongue, and his pocket, from which, he said, he was afraid of the Whigs filching his ideas. But the prudent Peel has not the less cheated all the world, his own friends the more especially. But whilst Sir Robert was dis creet, his followers were very indiscreet ; they thun dered against the Poor-laws, declared the Corn -laws should be upheld, and swore one thousand promises, not one of which the Prime Minister has allowed them to keep. Never was an unfortunate party so dragged through the mire as the Tories. No wonder that the said.. Tories . feel hut and ashamed. For ten years they - 7were , crying: against' `the finhilcial and cainmekihl l7 referin . .of the Whigs as ddidedly 'revoititioifary: 'At • last -- they came into power, and they hear after the first session the Minister of their choice boast— • . . " That he has effected more c h anges in one .year in the Rommercial and financial adMinistration of the country„than the Whigs in ten years !4' All this, as regards the conduct of Sir 'ROBERT' is most true. However he may have dis api. inted the hopes held out by him to the ope ratives, when describing himself as the great State Physician, he still more cruelly disap pointed the Buckingharns and Richmonds of the Tory party. Were the old Tories not the most stupid of • dolts they would have foreseen this. For who were the men by whom Sir R. PEEL surrounded himself? Apostates • from Whiggery, almost to a man—by men • whose best Parliamentary days were devoted to Casting down the strongholds of Toryism. Such men are Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of RlPON—iti fact, all who were allowed to have 'any real share in directing the policy of the Go vernment. Yes; however, we may complain of Sir R. PEEL, he has certainly the merit of doing more in one session to destroy Toryism that the Whigs did during their long tenure of office. To save himself, therefore, from the vengeance of the Tories Sir B. PEEL must of necessity.become more and more liberal, or fall altogether. Safety for him there is noile, except in the Liberal camp. Hence the talk lately about a coalition, which is not so groundless as the Tories are inclined to suppose. There is no domestic news of any interest in the French journals that have been received. Of course there was no truth in the report or. the French Government being about to establiSh a bench of Bishops in the French Chamber of Peers. The clergy in France wisely confine themselves to their spiritual duties, and the Go vernment is not so foolish as to think of dragging them into the arena of party politics. A Political priesthood is a moral and religious abomination. The news given by the journal, the Toitlanzzais, respecting the approaching return of Admiral Hugon's squadron to Toulon, contains some points which de serve the attention of the public. We find— That the Vice Admiral is to be succeeded by a Rear Admiral. That the post of Commissary of the Squadron is to be suppressed. That a certain number of seamen, and of the work men in the arsenal of Toulon, are to be discharged. If a Rear-Admiral is to take the place of a Vice.. Admiral, so be it ; the general officers may take each other's places, whatever difference there may be in their position. We grant this, provided that the choice be made with discernment, though it is contrary to the regulations of 31st October, 1827, for the naval service. But the suppression of the post of Commissary of the Squadron is a more serious deviation. It is for the sake of economy, but what economy is there in suppressing the post of the agent, whose business it is to control the expense: of a whole squadron ? As for the discharge of some sailors and workmen, we must suppose that only those will be discharged whose time of service is expired, and that their place will be filled by others ; but if it is meant to reduce the numbers of men, this would ill agree with t h e will of the Chambers, -so energetically manifested at the close of the last legislation, and which will be doubtlessly found in the new Chambers.—Constitu tionnel.

A joke is a good thing in a good place. A joke over the coffin of a young man suddenly snatched away, the bread-winner of a family which surrounds his bier overwhelmed with tears and grief, is a brutal insult. A joke about the shipwreck of the Amphi trite, or the massacre at Caubul, would rather pro voke anger than merriment, and pin for the joker, not applause, but a broken head. In like manner, it is probable that were a man to joke about the present condition of the people in the manufacturing districts, reeling, as they are yet, with terror, he would be knocked down for his impertinence At the same time we permit ourselves to joke about the causes of that condition, and public writers daily cut their jokes about Sir Robert Peel and his deceit. Far worse, in our estimation, than a joke over the coffin of a lost husband, a ship sinking amidst the shrieks of wretched women, or a betrayed and massacred army, are the jokes over the deceit by which Sir Ro bert Peel, for the purposes of his personal and party aggrandisement, impeded commercial reform, in flicted partial stagnation on our commerce, and hun ger'and death on many people—causing hot one, but many such scenes as we first alluded to. The con. duct which dooms men to such misery a, our popu lation has suffered for a day or an hour, to say nothing of months and years, is heinous beyond description, and no more proper for a joke than the murder of a mother by her son.

SEPTEMBER 14, 1842. We have for some time been of opinion that the Editor of the Post is a most convinceable man, and we assured the members of the . Anti- Corn-law League, when they were in town, that if they went on the right tack, on o bt a i n i ng an interview with him, they would certainly convert him. • without their assistance, however, we that he is, by his own reasoning, daily converting imsel By tins proce s s, an d a li tt l e h e l p f rom us, he has at length arrived at the conclusion that the great error of our community is a faulty distribution of wealth. Of course, therefore, he gives up.the well stuffed and long paraded buga boo of over production. He is become, too, a convert to the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-law,one condition, th at it. be proved to Lim the li repeal w ou ld g i ve " peop l e o ffe r i ng tlilmeii "h b a a increased va l ue f or i t ," or distri bute a larger share of the national wealth to the labourers. We can scarc e ly h o p e at once t o sa tisfy him that this condition would be consequent on the repeal ; but we must try, and we believe his own suggestive fancy will help our endeavour. The Post complains that Corn-law Repealers only make assertions On this point ; but what else can be made with reference to the unknown future ? If the Post were to question whether the sun will rise to-morrow, we could give no proof other than that it has risen regularly since man has existed. If it question on any similar grounds the assertions of the free-traders, that more employment would be immediately found for our people by setting trade free, what proof can they offer of their assertion other than that such has generally been the consequence of the removal of restrictions? In fact that is implied' in the proposition. That restriction prevents trade, and that there would be more trade were there no restriction, is self-evident, for the two statements are identical. The Manchester men and the men of Sheffield have said aloud, give us import f o od from wherever we plea l s ib e er tyto without subjecting it to a tax, and we will ly set a great n um b er o f a dditi o nal hands i t n o s N t v a o n r t k. Their assertion implies that they will pay more wages—if not raise the rate of wages— t and What more oth wealth t . o h o r e a o n n amongst t p h e o s w t o de sirer k ing the Corn-laws would rea lialilisig:ed e t ts lc at e asdst c ies o tsti n re idbitl i repealo n o 1. '4 . 1/1116 it declares the Legis lature ought to repeal the Corn-law ? Will any other employer pay less wages ? Not the generous and benevolent landlords, according to the theory of the Post, for they are only anxious to benefit the people. Not the farmers, for they will and must sow and prepare the ground for next year's crop. They will he wise in doing - so, for the increased employment in the manufacturin g di str i c ts will infallibly c ause an increased demand for agricultural, produce, to satisfy which will remunerate them. Prices may not he so high, but they will have to give less for what they use and consume, and they will be benefited by the change. That they will em ploy fewer hands, and that land will go out of cultivation as the manufacturers increase and the towns-people multiply, is an assertion of the Post, far more groundless, allow us to say, than our assertion that the farmers will not pay less wages, and that the master manufacturers will pay a great deal more. In truth every person is aware—is firmly con vinced without any reasoning —that the present abundance w ill meliorate the condition of the labouring cla ss es, though not to that extentwhich the benevol ent ,post and the selfish Sun desire. Why is this? Because the things mainly pur chased by Wages are, first food and next clothing. When there is more food, then wages will buy more. It is admitted that free trade would in crease the present abundance of food. It would therefore raise t he value of •wages; it would give the whole labourers more wages, and enable them to buy m ore goods, so that free trade would immediately imprOve their condition. Moreover the d e mand for labour is necessarily determined by the quantity of food which capitalists-can gat or can command. To increase the quantity of food is to give the capitalists the command of a grea ter quantity, and is to ma k e them seta greater number of hands to work. The immediate and certain effect, therefore, of totally abolishing the Corn-laws, would be, to increase e m pl o yment, to increase wages, and give to the .labotiriDg classes ad increased share of the abundance with which the ALMIGHTY ap pears to have blessed almost the whole civilized StIIIARY OF NEWS AND tsbJtc 4.ltutott.
