OCTOBER 28, 1842. To judge from the Seventh Report of th e I n . spectors of Prisons, which we yesterday men tioned, the treatment of prisoners in Nortitleach House of Correction is of unexampled severity, Though we must infer from the verdict of the Jury that it was more severe than is warranted by the law, yet in scantiness of diet, hardness of labour, and wretchedness of lodging, it seems not amore severe than falls to the lot of a large portion of the labourers of England. We have it on testimony which has never been disputed, that great numbers of them have been subsisting with their families on 65., and even 4s. a week. Those who could find no employment, were re duced to dig up carrion or feed on nettles; and many lay down and kept themselves still to avoid the pains of hunger. Thousands who could get work did not make sixpence a day by fourteen hours' continuous labour. As to their dwellings, it is only necessary to remind the reader of the Sanitary Report lately published, numerous ex tracts front which have been inserted in our own and other journals, to satisfy him that the cells in Northleach are not worse than the dwellings of the poor. We have only to open the Report, and at every page we find phrases like these—" The ha bitations of the poor are distinguished by a dis agreeable smell." " The houses are surrounded with wide open drains, full of animal and veget able refuse." "In most of the houses are fever and other diseases." " Eleven persons sleep in one room." " Fifty persons dwell on a ground floor, which is neither boarded nor paved." " The springs burst through the mud floors of the cottages." " The cottages of the poor are of a mud wall, situated close to dykes, where water is in a state of stagnation." " One room is for a whole family, and several large families, occupy ing one room each, dwell under the same roof." " The windows are kept air-tight by stuffing old garments in them." " Amongst the inha bitants prevail diseases of an epidemic character." " Small-pox, scarlatina, or the typhus, is seldom absent from the dwellings." " Most of the resi dences of the labourers are thickly inhabited, and many of them are damp, low, cold, smoky, and comfortless." " Whole families, comprising adult and infant children, sleep in one room." But it is needless to quote testimony to the fact that the labourers of England are most wretch edly lodged, and the examples we have given are all from different places and from rural dis tricts. To know that the dietary labour and lodging of Northleach, which are so deservedly branded by a Jury, and by the Press, are not worse than the dietary labour and lodging of a great portion of the labouring classes, can only excite the most painful reflection. But Northleach seems singular in severity, and we will now show, from the Seventh Report of the Inspectors of Prisons, what makes the prisons of Scotland so attractive that more persons would willingly take up their abode in them than can be admitted. The first thing ex traordinary mentioned in the Report is as to LIBRARIES. " Many of the prisons," says the Report, "are now provided with libraries ;" and the mode in which they are used is thus described : 0: Aberdeen it is said most of the prisoners are anxious to have library books : " few of the prisoners had been in the habit of reading before coming to prison." At Hamilton " the library is found to be a very useful instrument to elevate the prisoners' minds. Many persons are sent to this prison for offences committed under the excitement of drinking (people engaged about the collieries) ; they have no rational means of employing their evenings (out of gaol), and a man of this description has lately been reading " Robinson Crusoe " in prison with much advantage. It is .probably the first bock of entertainment he ever read." •At Glasgow, "read ing books of an entertaining kind does not diminish the zeal of the prisoners for reading of a serious cha racter." At Edinburgh, Miss Frazer says, " I liked reading aloud to the prisoners. They all enjoyed it un commonly. Many a time have I kept perfect order amongst the class, consisting of about sixty, by the promise of reading to them in the afternoon. They were so fond of really interesting matter, that I have frequently read a book twice through at their request."rhe Governor gives it as his opinion that a prison library should "contain many entertaining works." While the industrious labourers have no amusement of an evening, while the Magistrates have shut up public walks, and almost put an end to sports, felons have books of entertain ment and amusement provided for ilium at the public expense, and lady governesses and teachers read to them. instruction is " given to all the pri:soners in the simplest and most direct form." In several instances " a good .:seful handwriting has been acguired in a period from two to six months." " The instruction is carried. beyond • reading and writing." Persons who are sent to prison are thus placed in a better situation for learning than many thousands of those who are ,not sent within the walls. One little girl says, " I was once in the House of Refuge. I learnt my letters there. My father Came and took me away. I have learnt to hem and sew here. I like working, and I like to learn to read'." " They learn weaving, sewing, and other useful kinds of labour." All that is most commend able; but the condition of the industrious classes in receipt e 45., Gs., or 7s. a-week wages does not enable them to provide that education for their children which is properly given in gaols. Let it not be said that there are great and good gentlemen and ladies who establish schools for the children of the poor; to accept that compels them to come under an obligation to those whom they probably dislike. They ought to be able by the fruits of their own honest industry to command a good education for their offspring. Connected with this subject the Report con tains a striking evidence of the falling off in the rewards of labour. "The amount," it says, "of clear earnings last year was little more than 2/. per head, whereas four years ago the clear earnings were nearly 61. per head, and seven years ago when trade was very good, the earnings were nearly 8/. per head, though the prisoners are inure industrious at the present time than ever." Such was the falling off in the value of prison labour, and such, or soniething like it, must have been the falling off in the reward of labour exercisea out of prisons. Need we wonder at the existence of distress. Clothing is of the cheapest and most desirable kind. It is either of homespun or moleskin. But at Stranraer " they are to have additional winter clothing." In Linlithgow " Guernsey frocks and flannel drawers arc to be provided for the pri soners in winter," and " additional clothing is to be obtained for the female prisoners." To show how well they are to be attended to, we may re mark that it is said of Edinburgh, " there has been much irregularity in supplying clean stock ings to the female prisoners." All that indicates only due and proper care of the prisoners ; but how many thousand suffering, hardworking la bourers in England will have no additional cloth ing for the winter, and neither Guernsey frocks for themselves, nor flannels for their wives and little ones? All the prisons, instead of being built in low, flat, swampy places,surrounded with ditches filled with putrid matter, are placed in general on high and commanding, and certainly healthy, sites, The floors are carefully laid, not made of trodden earth, through which the springs force their way up. The buildings are carefully venti late?. and warmed, and we find one gaol of which it is said that an ARNOTT'S stove was put up in every corridor, because there was no other convenient means of heating it. The poor will shiver in their dwellings with little or no firing. The prisoners have exercise and airing yards. Compared to the cottages and hovels of the in dustrious poor the gao]s are as much superior in cleanliness, comfort, and warmth, as they are su perior in external appearance, and they arc fre quently so grand that they lock more like palaces than gaols. Now we turn to the moral condition of the pri soners, many of whom, we are told, are so well " aware of the moral advantages of their present position, that they often state voluntarily that their imprisonment has been a fortunate thing for them." r, " They leave the prison," it is said, "in a better state of mind and feelinr , than when they entered it." " Great care is taken to provide suitable situations for prisoners on their libera tion." The Governor of Glas gow prison EBN ER, a man who does honour tohtinla' Mr. nitl-, Bu lu i the last thr ee years advanced small sus s duringofmoney to assist persons on their libera tion from prison to establish themselves; and out of fifty cases there were oul two insta nces in which he lost a single penny." It seems that persons in power and authority look on the pri soners as having a claim on them, and they do that for them which is not done for independent and honest labourers. Mr. BREBNER has fifty voluntary prisoners in his gaol, not forty, as the Report incorrectly states—and " the num ber of applications has been much greater since trade became so bad." A married woman, who committed a trifling crime, that she might be sent to gaol, because she did not know how otherwise to get in, says, " this is a blessed place ; I never knew there was such a place for a poor wretched woman, and if the Go vernor will let me, I will stay after my sentence is over." " The Governor is a blessed man," says another : " he is more like a father than a maister. lam determined to stay here after my sentence is over, if the maister will allow me." " I intend," says another, " to stay a voluntary prisoner, if Mr. BREBNER will let me, till times are better." "Itis a fact," says the Report of the Edinburgh Prison, " that the scant fare and poor accommodation of a prison is luxury itself compared to the wretchedness endured by many of them (juvenile offenders) when out of it. A poor child, not quite eight years old, had been committed to prison, accused of child stripping. I was hearing her repeat her lesson, and asked her if she wished for any thing? when she eagerly said, I wish my little brother was here ; and on being asked why, she replied, because he would get some porridge!" Can we need any further evidence that, morally and physically, a gaol is a better place than the homes of many of the industrious and honest poor? We earnestly wish that those who have the management of our affairs would study this Re port, and in studying it, ask themselves " what have we done for behoof of the toiling millions?" It may be gratifying to them perhaps to observe that a wonderful improvement has been made in prisons in Scotland, which, from having been some of the worst, are now some of the best or dered of the empire; but can it be equally gra tifying to be convinced that as the condition of felons has improved, the condition of the work ing classes has grown worse ? Under their aus pices gaols have become comfortable, and homes desolate places. Vice is rewarded and honesty suffers. The felon is well taken care of; the toil ing labourer starves. So pleasant is the account which Mr. HILL gives of the order in gaols—of the honesty which there grows up—of the at tachment which arises between a kindly Governor and those who never befbre knew what kindness , was—that a feeling of regret stole through our mind as we read it that the whole society could not be placed in gaols and under prison discipline. Such a feel ing convinced us, however, that there must be something fundamentally wrong in society,when gaol life appears better than freedom, and when men, women, and children, must commit crimes to improve their condition. It can be no satis faction, at least it ought not to be, to those who have bad the management of our affairs, to see this terrible result of legislation,. which since ISIS, has been exclusively and assiduously di rected to our internal economy. We rejoice to see that the farmers and land lords are recovering their spirits. At the dinner of the East Sussex Agricultural Association at Lewes on Friday last, Mr. DAR ;Y consoled his suffering and desponding constituents by such language as the following:— The fact was that an attempt was made to get up a panic in the country ; and the attempt had succeeded. If they looked at the newspaper reports, they should take care not to be cheated by them. Let them look at the actual quantity of meat that was imported, and see how long it would last for London consumption. Let them also look to the differences in the prices, and then look to•the consumption of the country. Look to the sales at Smithfield per week, and compare them with the true quantity of meat imported,, and ask them selves what effect the importation could have. "Don't," said Mr. Darby, " be cheated out of your beasts." The chances, he thought, were that the importation of cattle would not increase. The panic was got up to enable dealers to buy cheap ; and he (Mr. D.) wrote down from London that if the farmers sold their beasts for a less price than what they were worth independently of the tariff, they were doing wrong. The number of beasts imported was 4 ; 800 in the kvhole ; and this could not affect the prices to the extent of the fill. With respect to the salt beef, suppose it came in, it was quite as likely to affect the price of Dutch butter and cheese as beef.—(Hear, hear.) Till . the cattle were imported in sufficient quantities to affect the prices, what he said was— " Don't, by your own acts, knock down the price fbr your own stock." Ile did not want meat up so high as last year ; because, whenever this took place, a re action was certain to follow. if the price did get up to ss. a stone, and foreign meat came in, and brought the price down to 4s. 6d., be did not object to the com petition. At the same meeting Mr. ELLMAN said— " His own feeling was, that if they could retain the present Corn-laws and Tariff, there was no thing to prevent them from going on well, pro vided they were fairly treated by their land lords, and were not frightened out of their senses." It is only necessary for them to re cover their wits, and inspire the landlords with a little virtue, to be a most successful race. They declare they are no longer afraid. Nay, some of them begin to invite competition ; and at one meeting it was declared that England would yet become an exporting country of agricultural, as of manufacturing produce. Wonderful, indeed, are the effects of the com petition to which the Tariff has exposed the landed interest. The fall of prices has made them think of what is likely to be their lot. They must struggle to live, and they are encou raging one another to renewed exertions. They arc promising us improved breeds of cattle, great systems of under-draining, a better mode of let ting land, new crops, better tillage, and to culti vate all England like the Lothians. If alittle competition have already had such a beneficial influence, what would be the effect of extending it? For our parts, we have long been of opinion, and have more than once said, that were trade free, England would export considerable quan tities of agricultural produce; but to dream of becoming an exporting country while a law is maintained to keep prices here higher than abroad—to enhance the cost of agricultural pro duce—to raise rent and lower profit—is a most absurd dream. Abolish the Corn-law, grow corn cheap in England, and the skill of English farmers will, we have no doubt, defy the world. HEAL'Fir OF LORD lIELBOURNE.—Last night, on an inquiry at the house of the Noble Lord, in South street, Grosvenor-square, the following bulletin was obtained of the improved state of health of his Lordship : " His Lordship has passed a very favourable night, and is doing z.s well as can be expected under the late severe attack." Several carriages belonging to noble individuals were in the neighbourhood, and for several hours previous a great many families had left their cards at the town residence of the Noble Viscount. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVEN.UNG, OCTOBER, 28, 1842 COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TRURSDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert enjoyed their morning walk, and afterwards rode out in the Home Park in a pony phwten, her Majesty driving. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken their usual airings. Sir Robert Peel took his departure for the metro polis. Prince Albert and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz rode out hunting in the Park in the forenoon with the harriers, attended by the Marquis of Exeter, Baron Kncsebeck, and Hon. C.A. Murray • there were two smart runs, both the hares being killed. The Duke of Cambridge went on a shooting ex cursion to Virginia 'Water, the Earl of Dunmore and Sir Edward Bowater accompanying his Royal High ness. This afternoon her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princesses Au gusta and Mary of Cambridge, the Hereditary Grand Duke, and the whole of the Court, walked to St. George's Chapel Royal to view the splendid west window. The time chosen was judicious, as the effect of the setting sun upon the window gave it a gorgeous appearance. Her Majesty and the Royal party were received by the Rev. William Canning (the Canon in residence),•and appeared to be much delighted with the beauty of the scene. In the course of the day, her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by their illustrious visitors, and attended by the Royal Suite, visited the new stables. This afternoon, three fine cubs of the lioness now exhibiting at Windsor in Wombwell's collection, And two young leopards, were taken to the Castle and shown to her Majesty and the whole of the Court. The Royal dinner party at the Castle this even ing will consist of her Majesty the Queen, -His, Royal Highness Prince Albert, their Royal High nesses the Duchess of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz ; the Earl and Countess of Dunmore, the Lady in Waiting on. the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting on the Duchess of Cambridge, Hon. Miss Stanley, Hon. Miss Hamilton, Hon. Mrs. Anson, Marquis of Exeter, Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Viscount Hawarden, Hon. C. A. Murray, Sir Ro bert Otway, Colonel Arbuthnot, Sir Edward Bo water, and Dr. Prcetorious. Her Majesty's private band, and the band of the Foot Regiment staying here, will. be in attendance in the evening. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town yesterday morning from a visit to her Majesty at 'Windsor Castle. The Lord Chancellor had an interview with the Right Hon. Baronet after his arrival at his residence in 'Whitehall-gardens. Sir James Graham and other Cabinet Ministers also visited Sir Robert in the fore noon. Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham left town by the London and Birmingham Railway in the afternoon, for the seat of the former, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. The Governor of the Bank of England and the De• putt' -Governor bad an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence in Downing- street. Lord Granville Somerset transacted business yester day at the Treasury. LITERATURE. FRIENDSHIP'S OFFERING. Smith and Elder, London, 1842. - $ The " Friendship's Offering " is one of tht oldest, as it is one of the best, of the glittering fraternity of Annuals. It has outlived at least one-half of its brethren, many of whom came forth into the literary world with far greater pretensions ; and if it be continued withthe same skill and spirit with which it has hitherto been conducted, we see no reason why it should not attain a patriarchal age, and, like Godwin's St. Leon, " shut up the tomb overits contemporaries," and become the last of its race. The volume for, the present year is more than usually interest ing, from the circumstance of its containing, by way of frontispiece, a picture entitled "The Royal Family," in which we have full-length portraits of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the young Prince and Princess, beautifully engraved by Fox, from an original painting by Stephanoff. The likenesses of her Majesty and her illus trious Consort may he discovered at the very first glace, so happily :has the artist caught, not the mere lineaments, but their prevailing • expression of dignified serenity. The pictrire is an exceedingly pleasing one, and the editor ex pressly states in his preface, that " it is the only complete groupe existing of portraits of the Royal Family." " Norah" is a sketch of a young Irish peasant girl who is standing, with a milk pail beside her, near a gate, absorbed, apparently, in contemplation. From the cheeiful expres sion of her round, ruddy countenance, it is mani fest that her reflections are far from unsatisfactory; whence we may infer—without any great viola tion of probability—that her wedding-day is fixed, and that in a week or so she-will be a happy bride, and half-proprietor of a cottage, a pig, and a potatoe field. The " Anxious Wife" is a picture of quite a different character. A mo ther, whose child is resting on her lap, is seated just outside .her _door; • 'waiting with evident uneasiness the return of her husband. She may welt be anxious, for twilight is sad dening over the landscape; the distant moun tains wear a sombre frown on their brows ; the halfseen river flows in deep shadow through the valley—yet still the truant returns not! What can have kept him so long from home? Has he • gone to a Chartist meeting, or an Anti-Corn-law lecture? Has he lost his way, and been beguiled by an ignis fatuus into a thick, muddy, chickweed-co vered ditch, where he may get board, lodging, and washing for nothing; or is he playing at cribbage for pots of beer, in the. sanded parlour of the •, village ale-house?

"Ship ping at the Nore" is a truly graceful and pic turesque sketch, whose distances are defined with much nicety and correctness. The vessels, —majestic emblems of repose--are resting in per fect etillnees on their shadows, for there is scarcely wind enough to stir the flags that hang drooping from their roasts. " Amboise" is . a striking representation of a fine old castle, perched upon .the stuntnit of a lofty, precipitous hill, at whose base flows a broad, deep stream. The back-ground, ' with the bridge spanning the river, and the distant village on its bank, seen by' the dim light of the moon, which is half con cealed- by heavy clouds, has a very impressive a ff ect . Of the literary contents of the volume we may speak in terms of deserved praise. There is the usual allowance of prose and verse, of serious tales, and humourous tales, of sonnets, lyrics, and descriptive poems, and each is good of its kind. Of the prose stories, the hest, per haps, is that entitled the " Novice," which from the pen of Mrs. Erskine Norton. THE Varg rw O4A L A o r n O do C n, T 108G42E.NARIAN. The author of the work before us, which is t: rambling, rhapsodical dissertation on the New - Poor-law, and is dedicated to Sir Robert Peel, is furious in his reprobation of this law, observing that " in its origin, its object, its execution, and its effects, it is opposed insultin.cey to all God's direct and unalterable-ordainments." The mur der of the " Babes in the Wood," says the au thor, was bad enough ; but it was nothing, he adds, " to the thousands of infant murders per petrated and now perpetrating in Bastilcs, for want of fresh air and food, by hired ruffians, under the sanction of the British Legislature.' He then proceeds to describe a vision which be had in the House of Commons some few montlt. since, when Sir J. Graham rose to propose the continuance of the New Poor-law for five years. The whole ceiling of the House, he tells us , appeared to be hidden by " celestial being with lovely countenances," and in the chair satt . —not the Speaker, but "the Recording Angel! How such a Being could think of paying a flying visit to St. Stephen's, we cannot possibly conceive; for of all places in the world, it is the one least likely to suit an angelic nature. But perhaps the author mistook the Speaker for a Cherub, just as the Ettrick Shepherd, when in town, mistook him for an elderly lady of his acquaintance; bu; we can hardly imagine this could have been tin case, for• Mr. Shaw Lefevre looks as little like an anzel as any gentleman we ever saw. The rest of the work is penned in this strange incoherent spirit, and is embellished with a full-length por trait of the author, who is represented standing on a bleak moor at midnight, in black shorts and silks!

The method of these grammatical and his torical readings is the most useful and instructive that could have been devised for students of the French tongue. They consist of selections from the ablest writers and rhetoricians of France, re lating to scenes, topics, and persons, purely English, by which means the tyro, while pro ceeding in the acquisition of the language, makes, at the same time, mastery of much valu able knowledge relating to his own country. An astute scholar, also, will observe with critical pleasure the peculiar and often original phases in which either an elegant or talented foreigner views the habits and institutions under which he lives, and agreeably divert himself by contrast ing them with his own national form of opinion.

The county of Tipperary happening just now to be in an unusually tranquil state, the local Magistrates have thought fit to assemble in sage and solemn conclave, and.declare their conviction that such unaccustomed tranquillity in a district, which is not itself unless it be in a high state of effervescence, is exclusively owing to the tem perate and judicious administration of Earl DE GREY. They have accordingly ad dressed his Lordship on the subject, who in his official reply, has thus coolly appro priated to himself all the merit of having tran quillised the county in question :—" I am truly gratified to receive the testimony of the local Magistracy, as to the present state of Tipperary, and their approval of the measures which, in their judgment, conduced to it. The line of my duty appeared to me to be clear, and I had no scruple in adopting- it, and although the appointment of the Special Commission did not ; at the time, give satis faction to all parties, the result has, I think, am ply demonstrated the propriety of the measure." There is a self-complacency. in these remarks that is exceedingly entertaining and edifying. Will his Lordship be kind enough to point out what particular measures he adopted to pacify Tipperary ? What was the - express course of policy he pursued to reconcile those who were habituated to the considerate and kindly Government of a NORMANBY and an EBRINGTON, to the Tory Administration of aDE GREY ? He cannot, and he knows he cannot ; for his policy, as regards Ireland, has ever been tame and tem porising, trimming between two influential par ties, and acquiring, as might be anticipated, the . confidence of neither. Earl DE GREY is just tolerated as an English Viceroy, and no more. The Liberals uniformly distruSt him—the Orange men alternately applaud and abuse him. What ever trifling amount of benefit he has conferred on the country subject to his sway, he has con ferred-only-by following in the footsteps of his immediate predecessors. As for his tranquillis ing Tipperary, the idea is ridiculous. It is the Catholic Priests, aided by Father MATHEW, and the local Temperance Societies established by him, that have accomplished this desired object; and in taking the credit of it to himself, Earl DE GREY shows that he is by no means wanting in that intzepid effrontery which is said to be pecu liar to those who have been baptised in the. waters of the Shannon. The violent and rabid - attacks on England which appear almost daily in French journals, . falsely assuming the title of Liberal, greatly embarrass the French Ministry, and raise insur mountable obstacles to the establishment of friendly relations between the two countries.. The only lessons taught the people are to hate the " felon Government" of England, 'to hate M. GUIZOT, the servant of foreigners, to call for !urge fleets and large armies, as if the nation was on thehrink of war ; and in fine to regard them= selves as , humbled and disgraced, till they have eclipsed the - untoward events of 1814 and .1815 ley new and splendid victories. The English journals seldoM notice these mischievous arti . - des, but so far from allaying their rage, the contempt with which the . writers are treated only urges them on to still greater I :nadness. For the sake of the French them selves, however, as well as fbr ' the . general peace of the world, it would be well for these I persons to consider calmly, if they can bring themselves to such a state, what they could gain by acontest, and whether England is not fully as powefful now as she was at any one period of the long war. They might also inquire whether France has so many friends, or rather unwilling allies, as she had under the iron reign of NAPOLEON. Could she expect assist ance from outraged Spain, or the German Confederation that responded as one man to the war-cry of 1840, or to Austria and Russia, who barely acknowledge the new dynasty, and regaid with a jealous eye the restless and aggres sive spirit of her people ? The GRAND SULTAN, if he could be of any use, would rather side with the Power that restored Syria to the Porte, and MEuEmET ALL would hesitate before he threw himself a stcond time into the arms of France. We have settled some affairs of importance with the United States, and besides, the Government and people of that Republic know that the repudiating system has alienated the two countries not a little, and would prevent any cordial union. On casting our eyes, therefore, over the map of the world, we can discover only one nation that would willingly join with France against England, but unfortunately the people . are not very warlike, the SOVEREIGN is jealous of foreigners, and would rather purchase peace with this country than .run the risk of having, his em pire invaded by two hostile nations. Would French commerce be increased, would her few colonies in the West Indies be more secure, and would even her splendid fleet be an over-match for that of England ? These are questions which should be answered before the firebrands of Paris drive two great nations to war. What has England done to France to justify the abuse which is heaped upon her, or to warrant -French men in calling upon the Canadians to throw off the dominion of the Mother country ? In the same reckless and pitiful spirit one. journal an nounced, on Tuesday, that the reductions in the French navy had been effected at the in stigation of the English, and ludicrously proclaimed that the " splendid . Mediter ranean fleet which caused the British Government so much fear, had ceased to exist." The writer ought to remember that they once had another splendid Mediterranean fleet which ceased to exist, not at Toulon or Brest, but at the mouth of the Nile. It is only waste of time, however, to argue with such men; but if they persevere in their wicked purposes, we may per haps return to the subject, and give them some more information in a chapter entitled "Steam- I ships of war." Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10th inst. The Minister of Finance was said to have already prepared the Budget of 1843, in which the deficit was only estimated at 20,000,000 reals (200,0001.) Senor CALATRAVA was still anxious to obtain from the Cortes an extraordinary con tribution of 300,000,000 reals, which he intended applying to the payment of the contractors, without drawing on the receipts of the State. According to the Eco del Comercio, the Cortes will speedily be dissolved, should the Congress present the same physiognomy as during the last session, a case which appears probable. The anniversary of the 7th of October was celebrated at Valencia, Murcia, Carthagena, the Asturias, and Gallicia, with perfect order, in de spite of the sinister predictions of the Moderados. The Three per Cents. were done at 21 for cash, and 21i I at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 261 and 26,i 15-16th at 60 days. We have received the Paris papers of Wednes day, which contain various articles on the pro posed treaty with Belgium, the Right of Search, and the prosperous state of the French mann- , factures. The reductions made in the Navy also form a topic for dis:ussion, and call forth from the National the subjoined grievous lamentation. England, of course, and the Minister of the Foreigner, have been the cause of all the mis chief, for nothing injurious or humiliating can happen to France but through the wicked machi nations and crooked policy of this country. ‘' England," says this journal, " ought to rejoice and return thanks to our Ministers. Our splendid Mediterranean fleet, which caused the British Government so much fear—that fleet, so capable of protecting our threatened interests, and of de fending our honour, which has been compro mised—that fleet which cost us so much time and money, and which an imperious vote of the Chamber of Deputies seemed to have preserved from complete destruction—has ceased to exist. ' France has no longer a fleet,' exclaims the Toulonnais, and that journal is right, for the name of fleet cannot be given to some ships de prived of life, which Admiral HUGON is supposed still•to command. The general disarming—this disastrous measure, which the bad feeling always displayed by the present Ministry towards our navy bad caused us to foresee, and which we announced long since—is at present' an act completed. England could not bear that we should have a fleet, and our navy has been sacri ficed to her jealousy. This deed would have been accomplished sooner if the Ministry of the Foreigner, who ever act as if they had received a commission to consummate the ruin of our navy, had not had their reasons to proceed slowly and secretly in their work of destruction." The Paris Moniteur publishes a despatch from General DE BAR, dated Algiers, the 15th inst., giving an account of General BUGEAUD'S move ; ments down to the 13th, when he was encamped on the banks of the Isser, in the country of the Beni-Kraoult Toun. BEN SALEM had collected the warriors of six Kabyle tribes, and was pre ' paring to attack the expedition, when the Gene ral, being informed of his intention, marched to the place where the Arabs bad assembled, and dispersed them in every direction.• No accounts had been received from General LAMORICIERE since the 6th, when he was in possession of Teke dempt. The Moniteur Algerien of the 17th announces the return of General BUGEAUD and his staff to Algiers on the morning of the 16th. " The ob ject of the expedition to the East," it says, " has been completely accomplished by the destruc tion of the government of BEN SALEM. Here after that rich country, in which our troops had, not yet penetrated, will send abundant provi sions of every description to the market of Algiers." The Siecle states that General PAJOL had de clined accepting the post of Aid-de-Camp to the KING, left vacant by the death of Gem DELA BORDE and the Commerce states that it would, in all probability, be given to Baron TRIANT, a General in the National Guard of Paris. A great meeting of persons interested in the woollen trade was to take place at Compeigne, on the 24th instant, and a meeting of Deputies had taken place at Paris, on Tuesday, at M. FuLcinnoN's; to consider the best means of re sisting the Customs' Union with Belgium. The two Governments, in fact, may as well give up the project at once, for the selfish class-interests of France will not suffer any interference with their property, however necessary it may be for the good of the community. The Commerce thus describes the proceedings and the result of the ineeting:—" The main argument was, that Belgian industry could supply everything for consumption in France, whilst the consumption in Belgium had nothing to take in return of French productions. The Assembly was una nimous that the union would be productive of serious injury to the material interests of France. The Commerce asserts that De puties of the maritime cities, as well as of the manufacturing districts, were against the treaty, as the former feared the competition of Antwerp and Ostend, connected as they were by railroads with the French frontiers. The con duct of GRIDAINE, the Minister of Commerce, in opposing the treaty, was warmly approved of by this meeting, which finally came to three resolutions; first, that each Deputy should endeavour to represent the dangerous state' of things, if the • Miniaterial projects were carried into execution, to the Throne, as the firs; duty towards' the Crown and the country; Secendly, that each Deputy should put himself in communication vdth the legal representatives of 'commerce and industry of the place he repre .vented to be an organ in Paris of their interests; and finally, that the Deputies would act in concert with an assembly of various Delegates convoked in Paris for the sth of November. The meeting then adjourned to the 2d of November. These meetings give great offence to "Al THIERW_ organ, the . Courrier Francais, which is a free-trading and anti-protection journal. It is curious to remark that this Liberal newspaper denounces the assemblies of manufacturers and traders as iilegal and unconstitutional. It con tends that the Charter is violated by these meet ings—an opinion, however, which is not shared by another organ of M. TITTERS, the Constitu tionnel. The official organ, the Messager, thus points out the effect on the linen trade of France by the ordounance of June, and the decrease in the importation of coals since last August. In July the entries of flax were 1,319,600 kilogrammes; in August only 413,349 kilogrammes, a decrease already of more than two-thirds. In nearly three years, the monthly importation was only twice under this figure, and this year it had constantly exceeded a million of kilo grammes. In September the import was only 239,085 kilogrammes. This result proves that the ordonnance of 26th June is freeing the flax industry from the excess of importa tion under which it was succumbing. The importation of linens has also, experienced a de creaSe in the same month. In August it amounted to 329,347 kil., and last month was only 234,735 kil. The importation of coal has much decreased. We have duly imported last month 43,698 tons, and in July it was 210,000, and in August 83,037 tons. The receipts in the Treasury were, last month, 8,796,825 f., and the total amount for the three-quarters just com pleted, 79,321,923 f., and if the same ratio be kept up for the ensuing quarter, the receipts for the year will exceed the estimates of the budget."
