Her MAJESTY this morning leaves Eogland I, On a visit to her people in Scotland, where she will be welcomed with honours due to her high rank in society, but with still higher honours for her virtuous conduct, and for those noble quali b:: t ies which ought to distinguish the Sovereign of a free people. Since she came to the throne she has conducted herself with a degree of propriety and spirit perhaps never surpassed, and it is, theref ore , a proud tribute to her subjects of .the -North that she selects them as the first in her distant dominions to honour with her Presence, and exhibit those qualities in person Which have gained her such just honour among all the inhabitants of the United Kingdom. The Ilsit is judicious in many respects. It has been ar ranged without any note of preparation, (many vain Parade, which might be considered necessary to ensur e the kind reception of a less welcome So- Vereign. She visits, too, a people, from whose l ine of Kings she derives her right to the throne °f Great Brittin and Ireland; and it is therefore -natural that she should be anxious to sae the , Palaces of her ancestors, and to witness the habits Y. and customs of a people which, independent of '''; t his circumstance, ,has distinguished themselves i n every part of the world. For five hundred Sears they resisted the whole force of England. 'though the country was poor and barren, though v "ey were without ships or commerce, and had . o ()tiling to trust to but their own native energies u g4inst a population six-fold superior, they not °4l S' maintained their independence, but often "'Meted severe blows upon their more power rui neighbours. They resisted the EDWARDS , w ith the most powerful forces that ever England b rought into the field; they fought CRON.WELL t o the last, and would finally have expelled him fr om the country but for the mad conduct of The clerical leaders at the battle of Dunbar. . I .e,Y submitted, however, in good company, ttil• the name iron hand that subdued Scot land had previously prostrated the united st rength of England and Ireland. If we look a - later periods, the people whom the QUEEN IS about to 1,4.4 have performed a distinguislad Part in all the arts that distioguish a civilized People. It is needless to mention the celebrated Writers which Scotland produced during the la,t Century, nor the excellent systein of Church go !. . v ernment (which latterly has become sotnewinti 4 e.ba,led), nor the bles,:ings of paroc!!4'. behools, nor her improvenan s iu agriculture, s urpa,z,il4; those of all othcr conutries. hose are known to the world, and are admitted as a remarkable phenomena in the history of a small "d barren country. Tile peaceful and indus trieus habits of the people, too, deserve great Praise, l'or though they Can fight as well as their n eighbours, one regiment is generally considered quite sufficient to keep all the discontented in °r( ler. These are matters of fact, and we there fore make no apology for citing them as credit able to the people, and as very good reasons for ° LW beloved Sovereign paying this early visit to her ancient kingdom of Scotland. We are happy to have to repeat, that through- Put the disturbed districts there is a general dis . Position on the part of the working people to return to their employments. The operatives of Manchester, Oldham, Middleton, Heywood, Ashton, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Wigan, Pres ton, and several other places, are gradually re sutning work; and there is every prospect, pro vided the authorities and the police act with dis cretionary forbearance, that none of the mills in ngland and Scotland will be standing idle for Want of hands at the close of the present week. It is now evident that the rising was not preme ditated, and that if the Chartists and others have taken advantag e o f it t o a d vance t h e i r own v i ews , th e bulk of the Turn-outs had no previous Intention of cc-operating with them. We trust the knowledge of this fact will go a great way towards disposing the Government - to treat such of the misguided men as are in their power with lenity . The working people have n o t b een w h o lly to blam e , eVell wh ere t h ey • have had the misfortune to set the law at deft- ance. The premature and altogether needless alarm of the Magistrates in several districts, and the wanton insolence of the police, produced scenes of disturbance which would not have oc curred bad they acted with common discretion The people have good memories, and any d. 7.5• play of vindictiveness on the, part of the Govern ment now, will be remembered in conjunction with tie' Manchester trnv4sacre, and similar Tory atrocities, of which, for a century to come, the country will feel the melancholy c, usequenee.:. now neceß!,aly soever it I:iay be t bat evc!

The late ring was not a turn-out of hundreds or thousands, bnt of tens of theucands, fc,r ti•ts It L;;::; " wages f")i• a rail. day's work." ''rear some W:c•r. people tried to mislead them for party purposes, and to involve them in illegal conflicts with the constitutional authorities, we at once admit; but these incendiaries have contrived to elude the arm of the law, and only their dupes have been seized. If the Government desire to put down Chartism, it will prepare to treat the errors of the workin;; people with lenity. Instead of laying soares for them by means of Spe cial Commissions, it will throw open to them a door by which they may return, without fur ther apprehension, to their customary employ ments. The operatives are not so ignorant as t justify any attempt to coerce them through the influence of terror; and therefore there is no fear that they will either misapprehend or abuse a policy of moderation and compromise. They fed no impatience of the laws for the maintenance of social order, as is sufficiently evident from the few outrages committed during a long season of unprecedented distress •and misery. The wisest and satist course for the Government to pursue is to discourage the rage for prosecutions now springing up among the Tory officials in the lately disturbed districts. Ministers have an ex cellent opportunity now of inspiring popular con fidence in the sincerity of their oft-repeated sympathy for the unexampled distress, and consequent despair, of the operatives of England and Scotland. A pressure of other matter at the close of the Par liamentary session, followed immediately after by the unhappy necessity imposed upon us of reporting fully every particular connected with the state of the manufacturing districts, has hitherto prevented us from giving the sequel of the fourteen hours' debate, which took place at the India House, upon this case, on the 29th of July last. We now resume this duty. In our columns of this day will be found the able, argumentative, and dispassionate speech delivered on that occasion by Mr. CHARLES NORRIS. This gen tleman filled for several years the high office of Chief Secretary to the Government of Bombay. Upon hie, resignation and return to England the Court of Directors spontaneously offered to nominate him a member of the Law Commission of India. This lu crative and responsible post he declined, satisfied to render, as an East India Proprietor, what benefits he could to that country, where an unin terrupted service of . between twenty and thirty years earned for him, among all classes o men, European and native, the high and un blemished reputation he bears for wisdom, talent, and integrity. It is this gentleman who rose to speak at ten at night in the Court of Proprietors, and who, in speaking his deliberate conviction of the innocence of the Raja of SATTARA, to him an alien and a stranger, was compelled by the evidence of the facts he pro duced, all taken from the official proceedings in the case, to arraign the conduct, to refute the opinions, and to condemn the judgment of a most valued friend, Mr. WlLLouonny, the writer of the Sattara Report, one of the most prominent and persevering among the accusers and judges of the RAJA. One or two explanations are necessary to make some of the facts adverted to by Mr. NORRIS in telligible to English readers. It is an obser vance of good manners, universal throughout In dia, for a visitor to ask the leave of his host to depart. At the Court of native Princes, the time for soliciting this leave is intimated by a special Officer of State, like the Lord Chamberlain, coming round, fbllowed by servants, bearing trays, and pre senting to each visitor, according to his rank and station, one or more bundles of pawn, that is, of betel leaf, rolled up in a neat and peculiar way, with spices and aromatics inside. On receiving this compliment, paid to all, the visitor rises and withdraws. Every Court has its own mode and shape of preparing those bundles. Their preparation is a particular depart ment of the household, and forms the daily occupation of one or two hundred persons. A practice analo gous to it may be imagined, if it were the custom for every daily visitor to the QUEEN, and at other Euro pean Courts, to receive at each a delicate and different nosegay of flowers, made of roses, or jasmine, or car nations. If such a custom were universal, there would be no more doubt as to the particular nosegay in use at each Court, than about the peculiar uniform of its courtiers. Two native officers sent, in concert with their European officers, to hold a secret interview with the Raja of SATTARA, in his palace, and to bring back proof of that inter view, produce proof bundles of pawn, which they declared they received from the RAJA'S own hands. The very sight of the bundles disproves that they could have been so received. What is the plain and palpable inference from this fact ? What would be the inference, if two French sergeants in our service were to say, that they had secretly seen the QUEEN in her palace, that she had given them Royal nose gays with her own hand, which nosegays on pro duction proved to be totally unlike those made up and given, time immemorial, at the palace ? Would any man believe the statement ? But when it is fur ther established in evidence, that both the native officers first of all deposed diametrically opposite as to the place where their interview with the RAJA took place—one saying positively that he was led up a staircase, consequently that the interview was in an upper apartment of the palace; while the other declared as positively, that it was in the lower part, and that he was not taken up stairs, but then, five days after, came forward and said he was taken up stairs—how is it possible to repose the smallest confidence in such glaring contradictions ? How can the previous cha racter of these men increase our credibility in the facts they depose to ? It is by the facts given in evi dence that the RAJA'S guilt or innocence is, we pre sume, to be determined; not by their characters, or by the characters of Messrs. WILLOUGHBY and OVANS, or of the Governor in Council of Bombay, or even by the character of the Court of Directors. Were that, indeed, the appeal, were an appeal to the character of the Directors, as exhibited by their scandalous treat ment of the RAJA down to the last fourteen hours' de , hate, to be decisive of the innocence of that Prince, there is not a just and holiest man beyond the pre cincts of the India House wlio, we are satisfied, is not ready to give his conscientious verdict in the RAJA'S favour. -.Ea p....- Now that the gratifying intelligence has gone forth to the world that the political differences between England and the United States are on the eve of a satisfactory and final adjustment, the attention of com mercial men begins to be directed to the condition of businessrelations with our Transatlanticbrethren. The apparent indifference with which a number of the States of the Union advocate a scheme of State bankruptcy, has, for some years past exercised a most pernicious effect upon the credit, not only of the States concerned, but of the Federal Government. Were the physical re sources of these States wholly exhausted—were they densely crowded with a pauper population, over-bur dened with taxes to defray the interest of debts con tracted to carry on ruinous wars—had they no means of establishing a credit in the mo ney-markets of the world, their repudiation of the payment of debts fairly contracted by them might excite regret, but could incur no very severe censure. But when nothing is heard in Europe louder than the boasting of these States of their in exhaustible mines of wealth—of their waste lands to he appropriated—their timber to he sold—their mines to be worked—and their rich soils to be cultivated, the moral sense is shocked by the bare-faced im morality implied in the repudiation policy, or rather proposed bankruptcy, of these States. Nor is the folly of such a scheme less monstrous than its dis honesty. America is yet but a new country. Her debts altogether are but mere trifles when contrasted with her immense means of defraying them. Would she, then, to get rid of them, affix upon her forehead in burning characters the brand of a swindler? Would she have her sons pointed out in Europe as the inhabitants of States too dishonest to pay their just debts ? The Americans are a sensitive people, rest ssoured h and they may t they expose th emse l ves to more at ridicule n ul n e o pointE Europe e than that of their being- wanting in the discharge of their pecuniary obligations. No blame is at present attached to the members of the Federal Government for errors which it is felt 1 hpy have no power to correct. But the progress of :.frairs for the last few years, has convinced the most 'THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING. AITGUST 29, 1842. liheral men in this th a t an ex t ens i ve y etb nn is required in the Constitution of the United states. It is clear that the Executive wants power to conduct with dignity and effect nearly all questions of Liternatiooai policy. This was painfully . ap parent in the case of APLEop's trial, the Boundary question, and the affair of the Creole. There is a feeling springing up in Europe that it is no' longer safe; in any matter which may affect the in terests of individual States, to accept the pledges of the Federal Government. The Executive has no power to coerce refractory States, who may at any moment plunge the Union into all the horrors of an unjust, unnecessary war. This evil will be a thousand times more felt now than it could have been before the discovery was made that we may safely traverse the Atlantic by steam. America i 3 now our near neighbour. We can partake of her hospitality on her own shores, and resume our desks in Threadneedle-street, in a shorter time than it would have taken us, thirty or forty years ago, to make a pilgrimage from London to old Melrose Abbey. The intercourse between America and England is also so constant and so regular, that we insensibly become mixed up with every great movement by which she is agitated. Her journals find as enthusiastic readers in London as in New York; and in proportion as she is brought within the range of our sympathies, are we affected by the blemishes which we discover in her Constitution. No doubt the action and re-action in this way is mu tual, and that to the nearer approximation of America to us by means of steam navigation, ought we indi rectly to attribute one cause of the rapidly increasing spread Chartism. His lloliness Pope GREGORY XVI. addressed an allocution to the Sacred College on the 22d ult , set ting forth the persecution of the Boman Catholic Church in Russia and Poland, under the government of the Emperor NICHOLAS. As the Russian Govern ment refused to allow any Papal Bull to be pub lished within the Imperial dominions, the seeming silence of the Holy See attracted attention, and it is to acquit himself of all remissness, that the POPE ad dresses the Sacred College, enclosing the Members copies of the several pastoral letters sent to the Ca tholic clergy in Russia and Poland. The following extract from the late allocution includes all that it contains of interest. The papers to which the POPE refers have not yet been made public : Venerable Brethren,—We have already communicated to you from this very place the grief which has so long afflicted our mind on - account of the deplorable state of the Catholic Church in the Russian empire. It has happened, to our legitimate grief, that as the measures which we have unceasingly adopted for the security of the Catholic Church within the bounds of the Russian dominions have received ho publicity in those regions, a rumour has been fraudulently propagated by the here ditary flies of the Holy See amongst a very great num ber Of the faithful in those parts, that we, unmindful of the most sacred of our duties, have silently passed over the great calamities of those faithful, and have there fore almost deserted the cause of the Catholic religion. Vie affair has reached to such a point, that we should become, as it were, a stone of Offence and a rock of scandal, not only to a very large portion of the Lord's flock over which we have been placed by Divine ordi nance, but also to the whole Church which has been founded upon him, as upon a firm rock, whose venerable dignity has been exte:aled to us his successor. Under those circumstances, our duty to God, to religion, and ourselves, demands that we should repel far from us even the suspicion of so unworthy a fault. We have accordingly ordered a complete account of all that we have done in the before.mentioned empire for the Ca tholic Church to be made public, by being transmitted to each of you ; so that the whole Christian world may clearly discover that we are in nowise wanting in our apostolical duties. There is no news of any interest in the French Journals. The Constitutionnel has a long article on the disturbances in the English manufacturing dis tricts, in which our operatives are blamed for not habituating themselves to starvation, as do artisans in that greatest of countries—la belle France. Pants, AUG. 25.—The Moniteur of this morning has, in its official part only, a note from Neuilly of the 24th, stating that the Ambassadors of Austria, Portugal, and Baden, had had private audiences of the King, to pre sent the answers of their respective Sovereigns to the notification of the death of the Duke of Orleans—Con stitutionml. A Berlin letter of the 18th states, in the Wurtzburg Gazette, that the Prince Royal of Prussia, whilst inspect in; the troops on the lath, had a fall from his horse, but received no injury. The same letter mentions a report that accounts had been received in Berlin of the death of the Russian Minister of Finance, by a pistol : shot, from the hands of an officer, for whom he had refused to pre sent a petition to the Emperor.—Galignant's Messenger. Everybody is struck with the idea that the present Chamber of Deputies cannot last. The Emaneipateur of Cainbrai has the following lines :—" The period of the dissolution is not so distant as might be supposed ; for any minority is formidable when it rests upon truth and the national policy ; and let it not be forgotten, it is a minority of 94 votes that threatens the Guizot Ministry, which is expiring, or the Thiers Ministry, which is coming into existence. Neither the one nor the other has sufficient strength tobrave such a minority, supported by public opinion. Let us then expect a speedy dissolution of the Chamber, and let us prepare to cement with as little disadvantage as possible on the unfavourable ground on which monopoly places us."—Gazette de Fiance. _ . _ On Monday the Minister of War informed Mischa and Mahomtned, the wife and son of the Arab chief El Flamekioui, that the King had been pleased to remit the imprisonment of this old man, who was condemned by the Council of War of Constantina, for a letter written by him to Abd-el-Kader, suspected of being treasonable. Until then,-Flamelaoui had been remarkable for his filt lity, and had even received the cross, at the request of the Dake of Orleans, for his conduct during the expedi tion of the Penes de Fer. It was the Queen, says the Debuts, whose . kind offices are never implored in vain, who, on this occasion, interceded with his Majesty for the unfortunate Arab chief. The Toulon journals of the 21st give accounts of the squadron of _Admiral Hugon up to the 15th. It had been at anchor at 2\jaccio, in Corsica, for two days. Its further destination was not known. The Belle Poule left Toulon on the 20th, to go to Brest. A private letter from Algiers, of the 15th, published in the Todonnals, says, "The Governor-General has just arrived here. He has visited the plain of Stavueli, Mahelma, Blida, and Medeah, by the road of La Chilfa. He appears to be much pleased with his tom•." —Commerce. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, Auc. 25.

" Who run.s may read." rOREIGTC. A rather prominent subject, in the French Opposi tion journals, is the tour of inspection of the Duke de Nemours. They concur in regarding the tone adopted by some of the authorities, in their harangues to the Duke, as inflated and fulsome ; and two or three of them remark, with some severity, on the way in which the Ministerial journals record the progress of his Royal Highness in the provinces. M. Thiers, says the France, was present, before his departure, at a meeting of the Left Centre held at the bouse of M. Ganneron, and at which there were about thirty Deputies. The same journal states that before M. de 'Lamartine took his departure on Tuesday for his seat near Macon, he had a long conference with M. Odilon I3arrot. The France in another place says :—" It is stated that the members of the Left, to the number of forty, met yesterday morning, at eight o'clOck, at M. Odilon Barrot's. It is said that the • object was to decide on propositions made by MM. Duvergier de Hauranne, Vivien, and Genin. According to rumour, the ma- jority of the members were of opinion to remain alto gether separated from M. Theirs. The ex-President of March 1 was strongly attacked by several members of the meeting, and it is added that Al. Duvergier de llauranue 'was remarked for his eagerness to re establish the union between the Left -and the Left Centre." The Paris Globe exposes the blundering attacks of the Presse and National upon England, for the blockade of St. John of Nicaraga: - The Globe concludes as follows :—" We take no . part in the re -criminations of the French journals against the pre tended projects of England. That nation does its business, and we should do ours, quietly and sensibly, instead of clamouring. We throw our soldiers on the north of Africa, whilst England has not yet done the same in the north of South America. The difference is, that the French choose the worst points, and the English the best. The French are quite furious at every word or doubt thrown by the English on their African possessions. Surely it is buffoonery in the face of this, to quarrel with her about Belize or the Musquito shore. She, at least took the pains to in vent an Indian King, and get a testament from him in her favour, whilst we set about robbing Abd-el- Kader without any circuitous excuses." A considerable excitement, nay almost an emeute, was produced afßoubaix, near Lille, by the conduct of a policeman who took two well-behaved girls for prostitutes, and arrested them under the supposition. One has died from mere horror of the supposition, and the other is despaired of. Such infamous mis takes and intermeddling of the police - is too common in France and England. rum.= OPEN ZON. The Herald has the following remarks suggested by the late trial of Nicholas Suisse, confidential ser vant of the late Marquis of Hertford :—" The recent trial of Nicholas Suisse, the confidential valet of the late Marquis of Hertford, has laid bare scenes of pro fligacy more disgusting probably than ever before filled the columns of a public journal. It is due to society, as journalists who deem that the cause of public morality has been endangered, that we record our opinion of the tone adopted by the Learned Judge before whom the case was tried, and by the Learned Advocate who conducted the defence. To dwell upon the excellent character' of a mar. whose chief merit consisted in the ability with which he minis tered to the vile pleasures of his patron, to describe those services as 'invaluable' which were given almost wholly to the furtherance of vice—are indeed expressions of commendation which we little expected to hear from the lips of a British Judge. The man Suisse, as Lord Abinger would imply, served his master with the pliancy for which his countrymen have become proverbial, and so far he was invalu able' to Lord Hertford! But what was his value in regard to the community at large ? How came it to escape the moral apprehension or acute discernment of the Judge, that even a rich man's valet , needs other qualifications than a capacity for pandering, before he earns from the seat of justice the flattering acknowledgment of being considered an invaluable servant ?' How did the value of his services operate upon the public ? Was • there no man's domestic happiness wrecked ?-- Had ro mother cause to weep for the de gradation of her child,—was no heart broken or tie severed, through this man's agency ? If not, then Lord Abinger's dictum was a righteous one, and worthy of his high position ; but if the fact were otherwise, how are we to estimate his Lordship's judicial opinion ? The trial altogether has produced a most painful effect. It has not only unveiled the profligacy which before was conjectural; it has not only sown how readily the lofty in station and those whose intellect alone should have kept them aloof, can stoop to barter their morality for personal advantage; it has not only demonstrated how supremely vice may reign in this world if it have but the means, but it has also taught the public a new code of morals, by judicially declaring to it that, provided there be honour amongst thieves,' a confraternity in evil— provided a servant be true to his employer, no matter what his - employment, the world need not trouble itself about the rest; to be invaluable' in one sense is to be invaluable' in all." The Advertiser says :—" In any man associated with either the present Government sr its predecessor, it is not too much to say the country has not an iota of confidence. It is intimidation alone which wrings, or has wrung, the slightest approach to justice from the Administration of Sir It. Peel or that of Lord Melbourne. It was the greatest characteristic of the irresistible.advance of a sincere and earnest liberalism, that it has been the means of drawing from even such Governments the small concessions which the popular principle has received. But such men and such Go vernments are not what the necessities of the people can longer endure. The Lord Johns may coalesce with the Peelites, or a Lord Palmerston may be sug gested by the Whigs as a suitable prop for their de caying insignificance ; but the leaders of the nation must start up from as different quarters from these, as the middle and industrial ranks are distinct from the unproductive and nonsensical greatness of the titled aristocracy." The following is from the Chronicle :—"We do not disguise from ourselves that something more is required by the Chartists than merely or simply a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. They demand political rights; they demand political equality; they seek an elevation of moral as well as physical condi tion. As little do we disguise from ourselves the twofold fact, that Chartist opinions are more widely spread, and meet with more sympathy, amongst the • people, than the middle classes are aware of; and that, if at this moment, Chartism were by any means to obtain an ascendancy in the Legislature, the na tional debt would be swept away , accumulations of capital would be broken down, our social condition would receive a fatal blow, and the existing Consti tution of this country would be overthrown. Not a few of the working classes are distinguished for sound judgment and clearly defined opinions; but the great bulk of them in Eng'and are only in that purblind, half-reasoning state in which they see men as trees walking.' Universal Suffrage in this country in the present condition of the working classes would, in our opinion, probably bring about another version of the French itevolution ; y et there are the masses of human beings virtually demanding it, assigning as their first reason for the demand, that it would enable them to obtain a fair day's wage for a fair day's work. " The Post thus alludes to the circumstances of the trial of the confidential servant of the late Marquis of Hertford :—" The Judge (Lord Abinger) described the accused as a valuable servant, and, repeating what had been said by the Counsel (Mr. Thesiger) that a voice from the grave of his master proclaimed him (the servant) a most 'exeeltent man. This was a kind of rhetorical, perhaps hyperbolical, allusion to a pas sage in Lord Hertford's will, which states that Suisse was a. most excellent man. The Times severely blames both the Counsel and the Judge for thus de scribing a man who was long engaged in ministering to the profligacies of a monster of sensuality and vice. We think our. Contemporary is rather hasty in this censure. Both Counsel and" Judge were merely look ing to the probable reasons for Lord Hertford having given a most unusual quantity of money to his servant. What we think the Learned Judge censurable for is, that he did not avail himself of the opportunity 'o make some remarks upon the picture of life wlsch was brought under the notice of the Coust, and to express a just abhorrence of immorality so abominable. The master of Suisse was no example of a class, but an exception to all classes—a man of great abilities utterly thrown away, and abused to the worst pur poses—a man of the most extraordinary daring in de bauchery—a fearful monument of capability for vice, supplied sy . th unbounded means of indulgence. And mark his end. Where' is the toilworn wretch, who drags on existence' in the most abject penury, but must feel that hi condition is better, and likely to be better at the last, than, that of the proud—the pro digiously-weal by Lori. Hertford ? Behold him, in his last days, tuv ,obje:t , not of pity, but of disgust, NAVAL AND IbIIZITAFLY. Experiments were made in the Woolwich marshes on Saturday with the concussion shells invented by Cap thin Norton and Major Moore. The former had twelve shells—the first, eleventh, and twelfth of which did not explode. The latter had four shells, all of which on this occasion faultily exploded at the mouth of the gun. LAW AND POLICE._ The bankruptcy case of Edmund Francis Green, formerly consignee to several large houses in the West India trade, was brought again before Mr. Commis. sioner Fonblanque on Saturday, and the next hearing adjourned to the 27th of Sept. At the Westminster Sessions on Saturday John Rule, Captain of the Witch steamer, belonging to a Wool wich Company, and Robert Ross, Captain of a Black wall steam-tug, were indicted for throwing into the river a waterman named Woods. The former was acquitted, but a penalty of 201. was inflicted on the defendant Ross. The two men charged with conspiring to extort money from Mr. Churchill, under allegations of a shameful character, were on Saturday brought up again at Marlborough-street, in order to have the deposi tions authenticated, and the additional evidence in cluded. The various witnesses were bound over, and the prisoners removed. ;kir. George Birkitt, the landlord of a public-house in Shadwell, appeared at the Thames-street police office, on Saturday, to complain of the conduct of a gang of coal-w hippers, who had joined the general strike of that body on Wednesday. Their demand was that they should be paid for a " baulk-day " for Wednesday, when they were walking about the streets on the strike. Some masters had paid them, but Mr. Birkett resisted, and Mr. Ballantine de cidedly said that they should not lose their money. AND SCXENTIPXC. The peak of Nethon, the highest point of Maladetta in the Pyrenees, which has hitherto remained im practicable even to the boldest hunters, has been at last ascended by M. de Tchitacheff, formerly an officer in the Russian service. Barran, the head of the guides at Luchon, perished in a crevice of the glacier, while conducting two pupils of the Ecole des Mines in 1824. TMCJITAXCAL. Rubini's rumoured retirement is the chief talk in the fashionable circles. He is yet young, as he was only born on the 7th of April, 1795. This king of tenors made his debut at Rome in the Gazza Ladra, in 1819, and he appeared at Paris in 1825, where his sweetness and energy in a duet in the Cenerentola, procured him an invariable encore. He afterwards accompanied Lablache and Donzelli to Palermo. Rubini was married to Mdlle. Chomel at Naples, in 1819. COURT-FASIIIONABLE.

The advance in the prices of the Funds having been so rapid, though not without sufficient cause, has induced some parties to endeavour to close their accounts while a certain profit was to be made, and hence a slight re action at the close of business, as compared with the rates of the day. In looking at the present quotations of the Funds, and the value of money, much cause for despondence would seem to exist at the depressed state of trade, were it not also to be observed that the issues of the Bank of England, coupled with an increased stock of the bullion, and the circulation of the kingdom gene rally, had been greatly expanded. Consols left off at 92-7,, for Money, and 93 934 for the Account. Bank Stock 167 169 ; India Stock, 251 252 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 premium.

The quotation for Mexican was 34+ 341. The Share Market was dull, owing as much to the day of the week as to the small number offering:—London and Birmingham were 183 135 ; Great Western 84+ 851 ; the Half Shares, 601 61; South Western, 621 63k; North Midland, 57 59 ; the New Shares, 28 29 ; South Eastern and Dover, 211 221, Eastern Counties, 8i 84 ; Northern and Eastern, 381 . 39 ; Blackwell, 84 8 ; and Brighton, 334 33k.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The Mark ts are all exceedingly good, though but little business has been done. Consols at one period of the day were 93 for Money ; and 934 for the Ac count, but a slight reaction has since occurred, and the prices are now 924 93 for Money, and 93 934 for the 13th October ; Three per Cents.

The Duke of Norft,lk, Lady Mary Howard, Viscount end Viscoontess Canning, Earl Jersey, and Captain Francis Seymour, left the Castle yesterday. Her Majesty and Prince Albert and suite, are ex pected to leave as early as five o'clock to-morrow morn ing. by a special train. The Queen held a Privy Council at half•past two o'clock on Saturday afternoon at Windsor Castle. It was attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Lord Wharnclifre, Lord President ; the Lord Chancellor, Sir James Graham, Secretary of State for the Home De partment; Lord Stanley, Secretary of State for the Colo nies ; the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; the Earl of Liverpool, steward ; and the Earl of Jersey, Master of the Home. Mr. C. Greville was the Clerk of the Council in Waiting. Lord — Stanley, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, presented to the Qieen the Bishop of Antigua, the Bishop of Gibraltar, the Bishop of Guiana, and the Bishop of New South Wales, and the Bishop of Barbadoes, to kiss hands upon their respective appointments. The Marquis of Ormonde and Captain Meynell were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Lord Chancellor arrived from Henley, and Lords Wharncliffe and Stanley, and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, arrived from town, to attend the Council. Lord Stanley and the Chancellor of the Exchequer left imme diately after the Council for town. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Jones, arrived in town soon after seven o'clock on Saturday evening from Darlington. His Hoye' Highness afterwards left town for his residence at Kew. His Serene Highness the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, attended by his suite, arrived at the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, on Saturday morning, and immediately proceeded to Woolwich to embark on board a steam-packet for Ostend, on his way to Brussels. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge left town on Saturday morning for Windsor Castle, and paid a visit, to her Majesty and Prince Albert.

RETURN OF LORD ASHDUILTON.—The Warsp:te, 50, Captain Lord John Hay, was to leave New York for Englaud, with Lord Ashburton on board, on the 20th of this month. At the last meeting, of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company theAgnewites did not venture to press to a division the question of stopping the Sunday trains! We were sure that the good sense of the people of Scotland would speedily disgust them with the puritanical schemes of the agitators. . The prospects of the railway are most promising, and now that a better, because more concen trated, system of management has been introduced, the proprietors may look forward to the speedy realisation of their most sanguine hopes.—Radway Times. COVENT-GARDES.—It is understood in the thea trical world that Mr. Vandenhoff and his accomplished daughter arc to strengthen the Covent-garden company in the approaching season, and that a new drama, from the pen of the gentleman who was the successful author of The Provost of Bruges, is in preparation. • By the Brisk we learn tliat the Madagascar and Water Witch had recently attacked and destroyed a set tlement, or what is called a baracoon, at a place near Cabenda, and liberated 900 slaves.—Anti- Slavery Re porter. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—Mr. Machin gave a grand musical performance in the Town-hall here last night, at which Grisi, Ernesta Grisi, Lablache, Mario, F. La blache, Hayward, and Machin, distinguished themseves. Signor Costa, of the Italian Opera, was engaged to con duct the concert. It is thought there were nearly 3,000 persons present—a fact which speaks a great deal for the peaceable state of the town and neighbourhood. It being Madame Grisi's first appearance in England this year, she was most heartily welcomed. We never heard her in finer voice. All the performers acquitted them selves in the usual style of excellence, and were enthu- ' siastically applauded by a most fashionable and crowded assembly. PRESENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. —A very beautiful Arabian mare (the only one la hick has been permitted to leave the country for many years past, and which arrived in England a few days since) has Just been presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, at Windsor, from the English Consul at Morocco. The mare, which for symmetry may almost be said to be un equalled, is of a dark grey colour, standing fifteen hands high, and not more than two years old, and of the purest Arab blood. it reached Windsor by the Great Western Railway from town a day or two since, and immediately upon its arrival it was taken to tho. Quadrangle, where it was seen by the Queen and the Prince, and several of the members of the Royal Household, by whom it was greatly admired. SUDDEN DEATH.—Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, an awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occured to a middle-aged gentleman, whose name is unknown, in Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square. The unfortunate gentleman was walking along Cleve land -street, and, it is supposed, that feeling suddenly ill, he endeavoured to reach the residence of Mr. Law son, a surgeon, No. 13, in the street. He succeeded in doing so, but the moment he arrived on the step of the door he suddenly fell. Hu was instantly carried into Mr. Lawson's shop, who used evey means to restore animation, but without effect. _ _ Saturday morning a robbery was committed at the Greenwich Pier, by which Mr. Groves, one of the Magistrates of the Greenwich and Woolwich Police court, lost a portmanteau and valuable contents. It appears, he had come down by a steamer, having re turned from a journey, and the portmanteau was duly lauded, but had in a few minutes vanished. Its disap pearance was, however, soon accounted for, as it was remembered, a person had taken it up, saying, it was Mr. Grove's, the Magistrate's, and ho was to take it home ; having got off with it, he forgot the duty he had taken on himself, and took quite another road, and has not since been heard of. Much dissatisfaction has been felt in the town, at the driving of four hundred men at once from Mapperley hill to prison. Admitting that they were imprudent in meeting there after the Queen's proclamation, yet they were peaceable, and to disperse them would surely bays been sufficient without committing them to a recep tacle for common felons. Amongst them was poor blind Peter, a very fine rioter truly. Will any one of these men, thus unjustly and harshly treated, be more in love with the Magistracy, or be better or more loyal subjects for being thus imprisoned ? Provisions had been col lected in the town, and sent up to the men on Mapperley plains, and when the county Magistrates and military came up, the greater part of those who were captured, were quietly-sitting down on the grass, preparing to eat their dinners. The straining of the law to capture and incarcerate these men, appears to us to be highly impru dent, and will exasperate rather than appease, at such a crisis as this.—Nottingham Review. Saturday morning a splendid tiger was landed at the Custom-house for the Surrey Zoological Gardene. THE DISTURBANCES IN THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS, MANCHESTER., Friday Evening. The town has been quiet all day, and a number of pedal constables have been dismissed,. but the,re. are no more hands at work than yesterday. The most sanguine hopes are entertained that if the workmen would resume work, trade would again be as prosperous as it has been. The sales of cotton at Liverpool to-day are 5,000 bags. A meeting of the Anti Corn-law League was held last evening, at which Mr. Cobden, ALP?, spoke, and endeavoured to show that the League have nothing to do with the present disturbances. EXAMINATION OF PRISONERS-THE SEDITIOUS PLACARD. Turner and Leech, who were remanded on Tues day last, were again brought up this day at the New Bailey, Manchester, before Mr. J. F. Foster and Mr. D. Maude, in order to their being committed. The charge against the prisoners was for a general conspiracy to disturb the public peace. The Court committed them to the Assizes for trial, but would admit them to bail in 4001. and two sure ties of 2001. each, to give 48 hours' notice of bail. Isaac Tinker and George Seddon, who are..charged with using violent language and taking part in break ing into the Adelphi Works at Salford, were re manded to Tuesday, in consequence of its being stated that the principal witness against them was out of the way, and had been so since Wednesday. SEDITION. Alexander Hutchinson was then brought up for final examination on a charge of conspiracy, and issuing a seditious placard. The facts of the case were briefly these :—Hutchin son, who is a respectable mechanic, in the employ of Sharp, Roberts, and Co., has acted as chairman of the Delegates' meetings, which have been held lately in various parts of the town, and frc •which various in flannnatory placards have emanated, amongst which was one containing a resolution adopted by the meet ing, and addressed " To the Trades." After examination Mr. Foster said he should com mit the prisoner; but would allow him to be liberated on bail. RIOT. Joseph Leven, John Riley, and James Barton, were also committed for a riot and attack on the Manches ter and Leeds Railway. The President of the Trades Delegates'..(Chartist) Conference, Alexander Hutchinson, 'Who was fi nally examined on Friday, at the New Bailey, on a charge of having presided at an illegal meet ing, is a mechanic in the employ of Messrs. harp and, Roberts. He is an intelligent man, and was once editor of a Magazine called the Trades' Journal, in which he exposed the mischievousness and inutility of strikes of workmen, with the view to keep up wageF. It was stated by Hutchinson's attorney, before the Court on Tuesday, that his client had indi vidually opposed the resolution come to by the dele gates, upon which the present proceedings against him are founded ; but that, as he did not believe there was any thing illegal in it, he considered it his duty, as chairman o the meeting, to sign it and procure its publication. These circumstances, added to Hutchin son's previous good character and steady conduct, Vouched for by his late employers, Sharp and Ro berts, and Mr. Fairbairn, have excited much interest in his case. Hutchinson is of border extraction and education. • FRIDAY MORNING, QUARTER PAST ELEVEN.—So satisfactory was the state of things in this district that the daily reports which have been made to the Home (Alice were last evening not despatched, there being nothing of importance to communicate.

This morning, about ten o'clock, George White, the Birmingham Chartist, against whom a warrant had been in the hands of the police for some days past, was apprehended under the following circum stances : Inspector hale was proceeding along Hurst-street, when he accidentally saw White com ing out of the Fox public-house. The officer imme diately accosted him, stating that he had a warrant for his apprehension, and took him into custody. He was cited before the town Magistrates at one o'clock to-day, and after his trial, and the examination of wit • nesses, the Magistrates, after duly weighing the evi dence, were of opinion that they ought to connnit the prisoner for inditing and publishing seditious pla cards, and alsO for uttering language calculated to en danger the public peace. They had some doubt whe ther the language proved against him did not amount to treason. They therefore committed him to take his trial at the borough Sessions. They should re quire sureties, himself in 2001., and two bondsmen in 1001. each, with 48 hours' notice of the bail offered.

Yesterday morning, Superintendent Cotterill, of the Newcastle-under-Line police, and Superintendent Rhcdes of the Handley police, arrived at Leicester by . the 9 40 p.m. train, with a warrant for the appre hension of Thomas Cooper, the leader of the Leicester Chartists, on a charge of using seditious language, and exciting the mob to acts of violence. The warrant having been backed by the Borough Magistrates, Sergeant Wright, of the town police, accompanied by Francis Smith, police constable, proceeded to execute it. Upon arriving at the shop occupied by Cooper, as a place for vending the publications issued by the body of which he is a member, and also as a "coffee room" for the assembling of parties connected with the Chartists, he looked at the publications displayed in the window ; when Cooper, looking over the blind, said—" Sergeant Wright, I don't want you here ; you have no business with these papers, so move on." Wright went on a short distance, when he beckoned to Smith, with whom he entered the shop, and after reading over the warrant, took Cooper into custody. After hearing the charge against him, he. said to his wife—" I'm done now, my wench," kissed her, and after telling several of the by-standers that he was "going to gaol," proceeded, handcuffed to Sergeant Wright, to the station-house. During the time our reporter was at the station house Cooper communicated the following particulars of his " life," which we give in the first person singu lar I was apprenticed at Scarborough, in Lin colnshire, to a cordwainer, and over the ' last' (an instrument used m the business) learnt myself five different languages. After leaving Scarborough, I became master of a schoel at Lincoln, and it was at that F lace I formed my connection with the Press. A lecture was delivered upon an interesting subject, a report of which I furnished to the Stamford Mercury. After this, Mr. Newcombe, the proprietor, entered into arrangements that led to my engaging with him as reporter at a salary, with perquisites, amounting to nearly 3001. a year. I remained in this situation about 4t- years, after which I went to London, where I remained about 17 months, employing myself by supplying articles to various periodicals and news papers, and also acting as transcriber at the British Museum. I subsequently became editor of the Green wich Gazette, bat my ideas being too liberal, I left it, and engaged as reporter to the Leicester Mercury, which situation I vacated in a few months, and shortly afterwards took the lead amongst the Chartists, whose rights I will advocate even if it lead me to the scaffold."
