We cannot advo cate such a crooked course of conduct ; and a reduction of the discriminating duty on that ground would brand the Government with addi tional injustice, while it would leave the injustice now perpetrated on the consumers of sugar wholly unredressed. There is another point of view at which we may look at this question. Mr. CANNING, in his letter to the Prussian Minister, distinctly re pudiated the demands of that gentleman for a reduction of duties on corn, because that and every similar species of impost was a pure muni cipal regulation, with which foreign nations had nothing whatever to do, and with which he would not suffer them to interfere. He would not look at the question at the foreigner's request. That was just and proper, and the Parliament of Eng land ought to set its face against allowing any foreign Government whatever to influence in any degree, however small, the amount and form of taxes or duties to be levied in this country. But if we ought not to allow such an interference, why should we seek to interfere with other na tions? Why should our Government, at the in stigation of the woollen manufacturers, or the linen yarn spinners, ask the American or the French Government to alter its municipal regu lations ? If such a system be begun, we see no end to it, and the taxes of every county—of this land of freedom, for example, may come to be regulated by the wishes and interests of Russia. Commerce must win its own way. It is like rain and wind, essential to the prosperity of the human race, and it needs not the hot-house forc ing of the politician. Its soul is freedom. To ask Government for help is to place it in bondage. The duties of Government in regard to it are very limited, and are comprised in the phrase, let it alone. Commerce obviously depends on the progress of nations. Our own exports of ma nuthctures isalrnost the consequence of the steam engine. It hasnot yet existed to any extent for half a century. How can politicians tell what new steam or other engines may be invented to give com merce a totally different form and character? They must henceforward be as ignorantof what is to come as they were in past times, and to ask them to negotiate commercial treaties, or make commercial regulations, is to forget the enor mous errors they have committed, and the mis chief they have done. They must set trade free, and every step which is not an approximation to freedom ought to be opposed. They must leave the manufacturer and the merchant to his own energies, as they leave the smith and the tailor. Let them do justice to their own people, and they may rely on commerce overturning every po.. litical system which is put up in opposition to it. It was stated in the Times on Saturday, on the authority of statistical tables recently published, that the average price of labour in France is If. 90e., or 19dJper day. In the department of the Rhine it is lf. 40c., or 14d. In the Seine Infe rieure it is 2f. In the department of the Seine, which includes Paris, the price is higher but this is a solitary case as regards the general rate. Assuming these facts to be correct, they are in structive. In the Times of Friday it was stated that the price of the best bread was 39i higher in Lon don than in Paris. As wages are principally laid out for bread, as the price of bread has a great influence over the price of all other things, we must conclude that wages in France are 39i per cent. more valuable in relation to bread, and nearly all other things, Urania England. Consequently, wages in France should be raised 39i per cent., in order to constitute a fair comparison between the value of wages, or what they will buy in France and England. On the principle, and taking 40 per cent. as a round number, the average wages of France is very nearly 27d. per day ; the lowest rate mentioned is 101 d., and the highest 28d. The average wages of the agricultural districts in England is not above 15d. In many parts of Somerset and Wiltshire we have much testimony, including that of Mr. B. ESCOTT, M.P., to prove that the wages of agricultural labourers du not exceed 6s. per week, or 12d. per day. On this comparison, it follows that the average wages of agricultural labourers in England are 25 per cent. lower than the lowest wages in France ; and the lowest wages of agri cultural labourers in England are 63 per cent. lower than the lowest wages of labour in France. That is the result of our Corn-laws. Here is JOHN BULL reduced by his paternal Legislature to a worse condition than his old wooden-shoe and derided frog-eating opponent. We are pretty sure, too, that JOHN BULL is at present in a far worse condition than Herr Sauerkraut, or than any other labourer in Europe; and to that he has been reduced be cause the landlords would not allow the in habitants of towns freely to prosecute their in dustry, and buy and sell freely with other nations. The same paragraph tells us that wages are higher in Paris than elsewhere. The same fact is true of London. Wages are higher here than in most parts of the country. Wages are, as the rule, always higher in towns than in the country. As the rule, the labour carried on in towns is more skilled labour than the labour of the country, and therefore it is better paid. England having a much larger town population than France, the average wages of the whole community are, no doubt, consider ably higher in England than in France, while the wages of agricultural labourers is lower. That sets in a clear light the immense injury which the law does to the working classes, by prevent ing the growth of towns, and by encouraging agriculture in preference to commerce and ma nufactures. It dooms them to starve on 6s. a week when they might get 125., 18s., or 245., and live well on their wages. The law encourages agriculture, and discourages manufactures, and the law, therefore, compels the people to put up with the wages of unskilled, instead of obtaining the wages of skilled labour. It degrades them, as we have proved, 25 per cent. lower than the lowest class of frog-eating, wooden-shoed labour ers of France. What a benevolent law ! H ow worthy of the respect, obedience, and reverence of Mr. JOHN BULL! LONDON MONDAY MORNING. OCTOJER 24, 1842. some of the journals in the manufacturing dis tricts, from their anxiety to obtain commercial treaties, sketch the principles and details on which they would have them concluded. We should feel astonishment at being told by them that the friends of free trade amongst the manufac turers are favourable to these treaties, were we not afraid that in general those gentlemen have no other conception of free trade than that it is to be free for them, but not for others. They wish to sell, but they are not desirous of having competitors. We can comprehend their desire for commercial treaties, without assenting to its justice. The genuine free traders are aware that com merce depends on principles which are entirely distinct from political regulations, and that statesmen cannot meddle with trade, either to repress or encourage it, without doing mischief. The distinction between them is broad and pal pable. Ali political systems are human contri vances framed for the protection of the persons and property of those who live under them ; all commerce springs from natural diversities of soil, climate, and capabilities of production ; it is a part of the order of nature, and political systems only come into operation after commerce has done its work to protect the property and the rights to which it gives birth. A commercial man, therefore, or a manufacturer, should repel as fiercely any interference of the politician with trade, as the farmer repels his interference with the management of his farm, or the manufacturer repels it when he attempts to dictate how cloth is to be made. But manufacturers and traders possess the selfishness of our common nature, and they think, like the landlords, that by bringing the action of the Government to bear on a particular point, say, in negotiating a treaty with the Brazil s or the United States, they may be enabled to sell a little more cloth or hardware. We have no doubt they are mistaken, but admitting they are correct, why should the political power and influence of the whole community be put forth to promote the sale of a few bales of woollens? We are as warm and as determined friends to tra de as breathe, but that is carrying political power out of its limits. It is bound to protect the property of ail its subjects, and it cannot act in that particular manner to secure an advantage to a few without considerable expense, which falls on the whole community. Other men are taxed, therefore, from the supposition of the woollen manufacturers, that this general action of the community promotes their interest. If the community may be called on to increase the wealth of the woollen manufacturers, why not to increase the wealth of the landlords The prin ciples which justify a commercial treaty also j ustify a Corn-law. Let our manufacturers and commercial men consider the Consuls and Ambassadors that are paid, the fleets that are maintained, the packets that are employed for the protection and use of trade, putting the community to vast expense for their sole and especial benefit, and they will perhaps con clude—if they only were concerned—that th e landlords are not so far wrong in preserving a Cora-law: and may then possibly find out that it will be better to be without commercial treaties than justify the interference of the ignorant statesman with every branch of human en terprise. In the case of the Brazils, it is supposed that the negotiatio n will turn on admitting Brazilia n sugar into our markets at a lower rate of duty. But our Government contends that the present discriminating duty is an act of justice to the West Indians; and will that Government admit Brazilian sugar at a lower duty in order to promote the sale of woollens, when it has stubbornly re fused it, because the reduction was unjust, to the prayers of the suffering people? Either that di criminating duty is just or it is not. We contend that it is flagrant injustice—the Government contends that it is just. For the Government, I The great agricultural wit, the TIERNEY, SHE RIDAN, and BURKE, combined in one of the county gentlemen and farmers, Sir JOHN TYRREL, has been amusing his friends at Saffron Walden as much as he amused them at Hinckford. He found out, at a meeting held there on Wednes day, the most charming reasons why he and they should not be afraid of American pigs, and why the poor should be put on their guard against eating the carnivorous pork which comes from America. Let us at once - put our readers in possession of this gem of wit and wisdom. Sir JOHN said — He had all along felt the competition we should be exposed to in pork and salt beef ; but with respect to the imported pork it was a matter of notoriety that it wasted very materially in boiling, even to the extent of one-half.—(Hear, hear.) The reason of this great waste had also been intimated to him by those who had lately been in America, and he would state it as a fact, because in distress it was always agreeable to listen to alleviating circumstances. In America the sheep were so worthless that, except in a few instances, the skin only was used,. whilst the carcase was thrown away. The rea son of this was, as had been stated by the American Minister, whose ability and knowledge as an agricul turist he need not dilate upon, that they could not grow turnips or mangel-wurzel on account of the heat in summer and the cold in winter. The way, then, in which the pork was fatted was this—the pigs eat the sheep.—(Loud laughter.) He did not state this on light a u th or i ty ; in point of fact the pigs in Ame rica eat th e s L eep.— (Continued laughter.) If this were the case the poor man who bought American pork need not at all wonder at its great waste in boil ing. Persons had been accused of giving offal to pigs in this country, and the Americans were only carrying out the same principle. Mr. Jonas Webb would no doubt be astonished to find his farm-yard assaulted some pigs : th ey wou ld lik e hi s excellent lleday by an army of ntmuttoa no doubt, but it would be a marvel lous sight nevertheless.—(Laught er .) When boxers are in training they eat mutton chops, and we do not see the connection, there and pork fore, between feeding on raw mutton THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2-1, 1542. confession of her faults. Repentance supposes expia tion. In politics, as in morality, no one is freed from the obligation of repairing a wrong which they have admitted. The dignity of Great Britain appears to us interested that her Government should efface, with out delay, the trace of the violence committed upon the coast of Africa by her cruisers, without which the nation which boasts of having conquered the do main of the ocean may well be placed upon a line with the miserable pirates who made a trade of skim - ming the seas." The opinion of the Constitutionnel is thus. ex pressed : " The Minister of Foreign Affairs, into - whose hands fall the energetic remonstrances of the Govern ments whose rights the English navy so grossly violate, does not hesitate to condemn certain acts of the cruisers, and has called upon the Lords of the Ad miralty to take measures for preventing a repetition of them. This is the first step in the path of candour and good faith, and we cannot too strongly encourage the British Ministry to persevere in pursuing it." The Quotidienne says— "We highly approve of this letter, and the spirit by which it was dictate , i; and if it be true that the French journals have had anything to do in producing it, we congratulate them en their success ; but this return of England to a more just and honourable con duct will not change the terms of the question so far as it regards France. The right of search is con demned, justly condemned, by the unanimous opinion of all parties. It is now no longer a question between France and England, but between the people and the. Government." The National, of course, exults in the publi cation of the document, and seizes the opportu nity for making the most violent attacks on M. Guizo'r and the English nation. The ordonnance opening a supplementary credit of 300,000 f. to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for extraordinary Emissions, is objected to by the Opposition journals on the ground that the sum already voted by the Chambers was sufficiently large, and also because they charged M. GUIZOT with inventing missions to reward his immediate partisans and disarm his political opponents. M. DE RIBEAUPIERRE, one of the most dis tinguished Russian diplomatists, and former Ambassador in Berlin, had arrived at Paris. M. JUBELIN, who has been successively Governor of Senegal, Cayenne, and Guadaloupe, had been appointed member of the Board of Admiralty. According to the Commerce, SIMON DEUTZ, who betrayed the Duchess of BERRY into the hands of the police, is to be conveyed to Aus tralia, where the French Government will pro vide him with means of existence.

The very best brands of Canal can now be purchased at 4,50 dols. a barrel, and other kinds in proportion. It is now ascertained that the average price throughout the Union is a little below 4,00 dole. a barrel. LATER FROM CANADA. . . The British Government has refused its consent to change the legislative capital of Canada from King ston to Toronto and Quebec, four years alternately, as had been requested. The great expenses caused this refusal. A dispatch to this effect from Lord Stanley, of 18th Nov., 1841, was laid before the Pro-• vincial Parliament on the 26th imt. It is generally supposed that a general amnesty will be authorised by the Canadian Government to wards all those who were banished during the rebel lion, with the exception of old Papineau, It having been officially announced by Government to the Board of Customs that a Special Commission will immediately be formed with the view to the full investigation of the "Frauds upon the Revenue," the mode in which the functions of the Board and other matters of public importance have been exercised, the inquiry that has recently occupied so much interest in mercantile and trading circles, has been terminated. There is a general wish expressed in the City that this special investigation, about to be commenced by order of her Majesty's Government, should be in open court, thus giving the public press, without having the fear of . the law of libel before them, the opportunity of stating the commercial houses who have participated with certain employees of the Customs in defrauding the revenue. The principle of secret compromises by firms discovered to have been in the possession ofsmuggled goods, ought not, it is asserted, to he tolerated any longer. The welfare of the honest trader, as well as the revenue, demand that the names of all—and ther e are n ot far short of a dozen wholesale houses spoken o f p r ivately as being mixed up with these frauds—should be publicly given , and the most ready mode of e ff ec ti n g this object, without waiting for the p resen t at i on o f the Special Commissioners' Report to P ar li amen t, will be by the investigation being made openly, and not in camera. The mercan tile and trading classes, not only of the metropolis, but of the co un t ry ge nerally, are looking with the greatest interest f or a full exposure of the frauds that have been for s o l on g a period committed upon the public revenue. In a lmost every circle this is a sub ject of conversation.— Observer.

It isnot otherwise than pleasant to us tolearn that the agriculturists are so proud of their own productions and think so meanly of those of other countries, because they may then allow us to leave them without any fear for their own interest. Now that Sir JOHN has found out such an excel lent reason for not being alarmed at American pigs, can he not, in good time, to prepare for PEEL'S next step, find out some equally good reasons why the farmers may admit American flour without any loss? The worthy Baronet must know that it is ground with soft stones, and is gritty ; that American wheat is never well cleansed, and is not worth as much as Essex wheat by at least one-fourth. If Sir ROBERT PEEL only gave the word to allow the free hn portation of American flour, Sir JOHN TYRRELL would find many alleviating circumstances quite as rational as the affecting statement that Ame rican pork is, worth little or nothing, because American pigs teed on sheep. A petition was presented to the Middlesex Magistrates on Thursday from certain Chartists, praying for a dancing and music license for a , building in Holborn, belonging to what is called " The National Association of the United King dom, for Promoting the Political and Social Im provement of the Poor," and, after counsel had been heard for and against the application, the license was refused by a large majority, only four hands being held up in its favour. We are at a loss to discover any good reason for the course adopted by the Magistrates on this occasion, especially after the liberal speech made by their Chairman, and the manner in which he pointed out the expediency of provid ing moral edification and amusement for the people. That speech, according to the report, was loudly cheered from all parts of the • Court, yet in a very brief space after this cheer ing had subsided they declared that to one class at least, and that rather a numerous one, such amusements shall be denied. The petitioners, too, did not belong to that violent sect called " Phy sical Force men," but to another which has se parated from the general body, and which pro poses to accomplish its objects by peaceful means, by mental, physical, moral, and political instruction, and by healthful and rational recrea tions, which may serve to cheer the working classes after the toils of the day. Singing is considered by many a very rational amusement, and Sir ROBERT PEEL has such a high opinion of its moral tendency that he intends to propose a public grant of money for its encouragement. Dancing also is considered rational exercise—at least it is practised by many rational peoPle, and, though its moral effects may not be so conspl cuous, it is patronised by Almack's, by the Nobles, and the highest ladies of the land, and, indeed, with a few exceptions, by the whole com munity, from the kilted Scotsman, who rejoices in the " Highland fling," to the QUEEN herself. The petitioners, therefore, cannot be charged with asking permission to carry on illegal or im moral practices ; nor would the license for which they prayed enable them to give more effect to doctrines which may not be suited to the taste of the Middlesex Magistrates and the Vestry of the united parishes of St. Giles and St. George. If the lessons they teach are danger ous and illegal, let the place be shut up at once, let the leaders be tried for their offences, and the public be convinced that they are in the wrong; but let not public functionaries, entrusted with great powers, exercise them with partiality, and grant permission for harmless amusements to one class of her MAJESTY'S subjects, whilst it is refused to another. These remarks are sug gested without any reference to the political tenets of the parties, but from a sense of justice, and a conviction that these useless annoyances and unreasonable antipathies only frustrate their object. Does not the very fact, that these men are not treated like others, tend to confirm them in one of the fundamental doctrines of the Charter, that they are not faithfully represented in Parliament? And would not a license for such a place have rather taught those peo ple respect for the Magisterial bench, and put them on their good conduct, in order that they might confidently apply for its renewal? But when they find them selves a marked sect, and are refused privileges granted to the frequenters of Exeter-hall and other places, not remarkable either for the moderation or the charity displayed at the meetings, they cannot be expected to entertain greater reverence for public functionaries, or a better opinion of that Constitution by which they consider themselves oppressed. If we are to believe the poets, music humanises the mind and even tames the brute creation; and the Ma gistrates of Middlesex might therefore have tried the experiment at least for one year, to see what would be its effects on the moral-force Chartists The Madrid mail of the 13th brings nothing of importance from the capital or the provinces of Spain in the way of news, and the specula tions of the journals are destitute of interest. The Three per Cents. were done at 211 at 60 days, and Five per Cents. at 27 271 27 at 60 days. The remarkable letter of Lord ABERDEEN, addressed to the Lords of the Admiralty, rela tive to the slave trade, furnishes an ample topic for discussion in the Paris papers of Thursday. In that letter itwas admitted, on the authority of the Advocate-General, that .the proceedings at Gal linas Rio Cestos, and Sea-bar were not strictly justifiable, and that the instructions given to her MAJESTY'S naval officers could not with perfect legality be carried into effect. His Lordship submitted also for tire consideration of the Ad miralty, whether it might not be proper to caution our naval officers respecting the manner in which they acted on their instructions for blockading the mouth of of a river; lest the duty confided to them in suppressing the slave trade might be confounded with the very different one of the actual blockade. The writers in these journals generally express satisfaction with this document, while at the same time they adduce it as a confirmation of their assertions, that the right of search had not been executed according to the law and right of nations. No doubt they are justified in drawing such inferences from the letter, and Lord ABER DEEN, on finding that our cruisers had received defective or illegal instructions, did no more than his duty in redressing the grievance, and taking precautions against its recurrence. It must, at the same time, be remarked, that the points re ferred to by his Lordship do not bear directly upon the great question—the right of search but the French writers, nevertheless, take ad- 4 vantage of the circumstance, and consider the admissions made by the British Minister as very good reasons for abrogating the treaties of 1831 and 1833. " Officers," says the Commerce, " who are so little competent to understand the instructions given to them for the repression of the slave trade along the coast of Africa, and who have been guilty of acts of pillage and destruction, which cannot be considered as sanctioned by the laws of nations,' ought not to complain of being calumniated, when we charge them with wanting moderation in the exercise of the right of search. By a strange coincidence it is at this moment, when M. Guizot, in order to defend that right, repelled the accusations adduced against the British navy, that Lord Aberdeen confirmed the jus tice or our complaints in his letter to the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty. M. de St. Aulaire may boldly present himself to Lord Aberdeen; and, with the letter of his Lordship in his hands, demand the abrogation of the treaties of 1831 and 1833." " The British Government," says the Courrier Francais, " appears to feel that her honour engages her to disavow the acts of barbarity and pillage coin mitted by her cruisers at Gallina and at Rio Sestos. We now ask all those who have read Lord Aberdeen's letter, whether the Minister ought to have confined the effects of his displeasure to a soft of public censure of the acts which he points out to the attention of the Admiralty ? Is this a sufficient reparation for such excesses ? We are aware that the Minister who drew up those homicidal instructions quitted office with Lord Palmerston, and that he is no longer responsible, except to public opinion ; but does not Great Britain owe an indemnity to the people who have suffered ? and is not this conclusion wiQted to Lord Aberdeen's letter ? A great nation, wli it has outraged huma nity, ought Rot to be satisfied with making a public HAweM UF NEWS AND :Pubitt • ptutoit. " Who runs may read." ronmxGN. Lord Cowley was received last Tuesday night. by the King of the French, on his Excellency's return from London. The Duc de Grammont, formerly the Duc de Guiche, was two days ago attacked by . apoplexy. The lifoniteur Parisien says :—" It has been de cided, in a Grand Council, held in the Palace of the Regent of Spain, that, according to the spirit of the Constitution, the civil majority cannot be separated from the political majority. The majority of the Queen, therefore, cannot be declared for two years, as she is only 12 years of age." The Turkish Governor of Larissa has had a num ber of Greek and Ottoman subjects arrested on sus picion of a plot against the State. The adhesion of the tßelgian Government to the propositions of Holland concerning the financial ques tion has just been concluded. It appears that the Cabinet of Brussels has purchased for the State all the property of the King and ex-King in Belgium. Amongst the estates are the domain of Tervueren, the :louse in the Place Royale, and the Palace of the Prince of Orange on the Boulevards. The Moniteur has Royal Ordonnances of the 17th, completing the personnel of the Algiers Royal Court, but complaints are made by the journals that no regu lar jurisdiction has been formed for Constantine., where General Negrier's sway is described as being most arbitrary and oppressive. A fatal duel took place at Clausenberg, in the Tyrol, on the 4th inst., between C nint Teleky and Count Bethlen, arising from some expressions made use of by the former. Count Teleky fell dead, and Count Bethlen is not expected to survive. The se conds have been arrested. Two unfortunate peasants, convicted of havinc , sheltered in their houses several of the brigands, who infested the neighbourhood of Vich, were shot on the 12th at Gerona, by order of General Zurbano. Eight others guilty of the same offence, are awaiting their fate at the same place. Some disturbances have taken place at Barcelona, in consequence of the manufacture of c!gars being closed by an order from Madrid, by which upwards of 700 women were thrown out of bread. A detach ment of military has since restored order. On the proposition of the King of Prussia, the Committee of the Provincial States have decided that the sums obtained by a reduction in the taxes should be applied to the construction of railroads. The dimi nution in the taxes amounted for the present year to 1,500,000 thalers (208,0001.) The Basle. Gazette, of the 17th inst., informsus that the Government of Argau has just adopted commer cial reprisals against the Government of Baden. From Act 15, wine, beer, and flour coming from the Grand Duchy will not be allowed to enter, except on transit. PUBLIC OPINION. We quote the following remarks respecting Con servative Tavern keepers from the Chronicle :—" We beg to call the attention of our readers to the dis tresses of a very meritorious class of persons who are to be added to the long list o: sufferers by Sir Robert Peel's accession to office. We mean the Conservative tavern-keepers. Our table is crowded with letters from these unhappy men in every part of the empire, complaining that, far from profiting by the accession of their party to power, that event seems to have been the signal for the immediate and total discontinuance of those Conservative dinners which used to be held at this time of year. Many of our Correspondents suggest that such a sudden abandonment of the very efficient means by which the party was kept together, must prove injurious to the party—perhaps to the sacred cause of Conservatism. But all are unani mous and strenuous in asserting that it is very inju rious to the Conservative innkeeper ; and what, as they say, is the use of Conservatism, if it isn't to uphold the Conservative innkeepers ?' " The Times remarks, in an article on the American newspaper Press :—" M. de Tocqueville, a careful, and in general an instructive, reporter upon things and people in the New World, accounts for the bar barous state of periodical literature, tolerated not only in the ruder districts, but in New York, and even in the most refined of all the American societies, that of Boston, by a theory of which the logic seems to us to be strangely inverted. He and other Frenchmen, who went out, as the Reviewer has it, with no Eng, lish disposition to carp and cavil,' but with the per suasion that of all forms of Government the Republi can is best f4ted to develope the political independence and happiness of mankind, have returnrd to tell us' (and with this conclusion the Reviewer himself ap pears wonderfully content), that the American in atitutions are good, but that the people are not.' Now we strongly believe that the very reverse will be found to be the truth—that the people would be good enough, but that the institutions are not; and we can scarcely conceive how the writer, in making a valuation of his French witnesses, and accrediting them for their freedom from English bias, should have missed the very obvious suspicion that their sacrifice of American character, in favour of American institu tions, was the result of the Republican prepossessions which he avows that those witnesses carried with them. They took out a certain set of opinions, based upon no experience of populous nations, but which they were determined at all times to justify. Arriving in America, and finding there, instead of - develope meat of independence and happiness,' a state of affairs where private character is insecure—where popular licentiousness is at an enormous premium—where the flatteries and the despotic powers so destructive to virtue even in an individual sovereign, are lavished by interested sycophants upon a Sovere'gn having mil lions of heads—and where, of course, a considerable proportion of that bloated mob must exhibit the cor ruption thus inoculated into their constitutions—the Doctrinaires of French democracy, instead of confess ing that their theory is swamped by the experiment, stick to it with a vanity which, like Greek fire, flares even under water, and :struggle to save their own wretched credit by imputing an innate unworthiness to a whole people.' The following is from the Post:—" We perfectly agree with all Sir John Tyrell so forcibly says about the dishonest character of the policy of the late Go vernment. We agree with him that nothing could be more base than for that Government to hold back from certain measures while they had power, and then to launch them forth upon the popular tide when their power of carrying them was gone. But we do not agree in the opinion which seems now to be held by country members, though not openly expres'sed, that because these measures were dishonestly launched by the Whigs, it became necessary for the-Conserva tives to carry them to a certain extent, and to adopt to a certain extent the principles or opinions upon which these measures were founded. We repeat that it seems as though some mysterious cause—not proper to be revealed to the public—for holding this opinion, had been imparted' to country gentlemen, and. go verned their political conduct. Sir John Tyrell speaks of his interviews with the Administration to obtain certain modifications of the Corn-law, but he and his friends were unable to effect what they desired, and were thus in an awkward position. No doubt, Sir John, you must • have been, supposing that to vote with the Minister was the first object, and to support your own views the second. But we see no reason why an independent country gentleman should not have said that he was under the necessity of sup porting his views of what was best for the country, and he must do so however he was pained in differ ing from the Minister." The Herald says :—" The Marquis of Londonderry has just addressed a printed letter to Lord Ashley, to open his eyes' on the subject of the Mines and Collieries Act, and the Noble oculist's mode of couch ing organs of Legislative vision has at all events the merit of novelty. Some men attempt to convince their opponents of error by a resort to argument, others by an appeal to the heart : some endeavour to shame antagonists into truth, others to ridicule them out of false views ; some have recourse to irony others to persuasion ; few, a very few, think that abuse and hard words are the most successful implements of con version,--Lord Londonderry appears to be of this se lect minority. The locality of controversialists who employ such literary weapons we had supposed to have been much more confined than Lord London derry's epistle to Lord /Wiley indicates it to be. Mere imputations of ignorance, mis-statement, trickery ; puerility, fraud, and misrepresentation, we had thought were practices only in the most eastern quar ters of this huge metropolis; extremes, however seem to meet in these matters as well as others, and this 'ancient and fish-like' style of convinci ng appears to he, minus the vernacular in l anguage ' f am ili ar t o a denizen of Park-lane. Bitter invective, unscrupulous insinuation, unwarrantable imputations, and fierce and vulgar denunciations. are the instruments with which Lord Londonderry flatters' himself he ' will open' Lord Ashley's eyes.'

A letter from one of the privates of the 41st regi ment has been received, dated the 7th of Sept. last, in which the writer asserts that there has been "no fighting of late," but that they were in daily expec tation of receiving orders to advance towards Caubul. LA.i.V AND POLICE, Charles Gu3tavus Chamberlain, City policeman 619, was charged on Friday at Guildhall, with having ex torted, by colour of his office, from fruit-women and omnibus-drivers, sundry small fees of a penny and twopence. The prisoner was committed to the House of Correction. A seaman, named !o, uham Uallagher, summoned Captain Knox, master of a large East Indiaman, at Thames-street, for a balance of wages, amounting to 181. los., for his services on a voyage from Port Philip to London. It was shown that the complain ant had deceived the Captain, by shipping as an able seaman, when he was ill, and unable to perform duty. The Magistrate declined to make an order for the wages. Eliza Bailey, recently sent down from Liverpool to be tried at the Cheshire Quarter Sessions on the charge of stealing a large sum of money in notes from Mr. John Marquis, was tried at Knutsford on Wednesday, and found guilty. She was sentenced to be trans ported for seven years. VXNZ ARTS. Zwirner, the architect of the cathedral of Cologne, will visit England this autumn, and examine our old English cathedrals.

The representation of Buteshire has become vacant by the death of Sir Wm. Rae, and it is expected that Duncan WNeill, Esq., will become a candidate. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday :Evening.) The report of the Liverpool Cottoi r Market for the week advises but a limited business. The sales of the week have been 16,040 bales. The :stock is 521,500 bales. There have been taken for consumption 865,000 bales, and exported 70,000 bales. These items show a slight increase over last. ye !ar. It is understood that notwithstanding the depressed condition of trade, orders for Cotton to the extent of many millions sterling, have been fors Tarded to the United States by the Great Western steamer, which has just quitted England.. It must be remembered, however, that this is for the new crop of the staple, and that the shipments may ex tend over a period terminating only witl r he autumn of next year. The consumption of Eng',.% ,nd and the shipments from our ports have, as is sh own above, been about 940,000 bales, and we ma y perhaps not be above the mark in estimating the , mount of the orders sent out for cotton at 20,00 0,0001., of which say rather more than half will be for consump tion here, and the remainder will go dir e.ct .to the Continent of Europe, the manufacturers there now availing themselves however, of th s facilities afforded by our line of steamers to for , ard their orders to the United States via Liverpool o. r Bristol The immense competition we have to sustaii a cannot. be better illustrated than by these Let s, 4nd a reference to the comparative quantitiits taken by England and the Continent in =former years. Each bale of cotton we estimate as of the value of 81. to 101., and it re:nains to be 3 seen whether such customers as ourselves are to be t seated to prohibitive tariffs without Brother Jo aathan feeling some of the ill effects of his policy. Every exertion consistent with free trade prin ciples is imperatively called for in raising the production of cotton in India. Th e fact is remarkable, but no less clear, that while the policy of our Government has been to depress tine manufac turers to the gain of the landlords, that of America is to tax most exorbitantly its native agricillture, under the delusive hope of forcing an improvement in its manufactures. The report of the Leipzic fair, now heore us, is more satisfactory than might have beet% expected ; the buyers from Greece and the East is ,king mo.-e freely of German and British fabrics, thou ;11 evidently more of the former than the latter. ,lost houses now, in fact., consider that ere long it will be scarcely worth their while to ha , /e e 4 en a repre sentative at the great continental marts, much less for the principals themselves to - attend, 3o steadily does the competition and the. money power of the Zollverein increase. The Indigo sales are expected to conclude on Mon day or Tuesday. With less business doing the Funds continue to be well supported, and the low rate of interest—money being obtainable on first-rate bills at 2+ per cent. — causes the opinion to rule in favour of the existing rates. Consols are 931 to 93/ for transfer next week, and 931 to 93i for Account, leaving, therefore, not the slightest continuation, which, in part, maybe attri buted, however, to the possibility of political or other contingencies arising to cause a re-action in tle market. Exchequer Bills are 58 to 56 premium, and India Bonds have touched 48s. to 50s. premium. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 1018 to 102, being a further rise ; and the Three per Cent.
