Mornin. , 2O minutes after 4 I Evening 40 minutes after 4. LONDON MONDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 24, 1841. Some of the journals in the manufacturing dis tricts, from their anxiety to obtain commercial tr,suties, 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 favoufable 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. All political systems are liuntan contri vances framed for the protection of the persons and property of those who live under them ; all commerce springs from natural cli7ersities of soil, climate, and c a p a bili t i es o f 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 c • ommercia. 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 Brazils or the United States, they may be enabled to sell a little more cloth or hardware. We hare 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 trade as breathe, but that is carrying political Pow:m. out of its limits. It is bound to protect the Property of ail its subjects, and it cannot act I n that p art i cular manner to secure an a d van t age o a few w i thout considerable expense, w hi c h falls on the whole community. Other men are taxed, therefore, from the supposition of the woollen manufacturers, that this general action of the community a promotes their interest. If may the community be called on to i ncrease t h e wealth of the woollens man ufacturers, why not to increase the wealth of the landlords? The prin ciples which justify a com mercial treaty al so t r nuf acturers and e Consuls and j ustify a Corn-law. Let our C° fi commercial men co ns id er paid, the fleets Ambassadors that are that are maintained, the packet s t h at are for the protection and use of trade, ,r puttin g i the community to vast expense f or and especial benefit, and they will perhaps con clude—if - they only were concerned—that the landlords arc not so far wrong in preserving a Corn-law, and may then possibly End out that it Will be better to be without commercial treaties tlan justify the interference of the ignorant statesman with every branch of human en terprise. - In the ease of the Brazils, it is supposed that the r •at • ,e,smtou will turn on admitting Brazilian sugar into our markets a lower rate of duty. But our Governme nt contends that the present discriminating duty is an act of justice to the West Indians; and will that Brazilian suga r at a lower duty Government admit order to promote the4ale of. :woollens, when it has stubbornly re flisectit, because the reduction was unjust, to the prayers of the sllitring peopl e ? Either that dis criminating duES.C- just or it i s not. that it is flagrant injustice— t h We c ontend e Government contends that it, just. For the Governments therefore, to give up a portion of that duty for the sake o►f a trade with the Brazils, will be, on its own principles, sacrificing the West Indians to the woollen manufacturers. We cannot advo cate such a crookedi course of conduct; and a reduction of the diseriminating 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 suar 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 con try. 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, oe 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 conic to he regulated by the wishes and interests of Russia. Commerce must wi❑ 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, lc tit alone. Commerce obviously depends on the progress of nations. Our own exports of ma nutllctures isalmost the consequence of the steam engine. Ithasnot 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 ignorant of what is to come a. 7, they were in past times, and to rtSk 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 lf. 00e., or 19d.3per day. In the department of the Rhine it is If. 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 391 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, thanin England. Consequently, wages in France should be raised 39a 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 191 d., and the highest 28d. The average wages of the agricultural districts in England i, not above 'lsd. In many parts of Somerset and Wiltshire we have much testimony, including that of Mr. B. ESCGTT, M.P., to prove that the wages of agricultural labourers do not exceed Gs. 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 grog -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 that; 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 (looms them to starve on Gs. a week when they might get 12.5., 18s., or 245., and live well on their wages. The law encourages agpculture, 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 the:, 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 ! How worthy of the respect, obedience, and reverence of Mr. JOHN BULL! The great agricultural wit, the TIERNEY, SHE RIDAN, and BURKE, combined in one of the county gentlemen and farmers, Sir Jon N TVRREL, has been amusing his friends at Saffron Walden as much as be amused them at Hinckford. H e 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 Jourr said— He had all along felt the competition we should , be exposed to in pork awl 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 th;s great waste had also been intimated to him by those who had lately been in A-nerica, 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 throw a away. The rea souc!f this was , as h a i been stated by the American t. Minister, wh ose a bili ty an d k now l e d ge as an agricul ur. st he need no t dil ate upon, th at they could not WOW t urn i ps or mangel-wurzel on account of the heat in summe r and the cold in winter. The way, then, in which thepi?orkwas fatted was thi s —th e pi gs ea t i the sh eep .— (laughter.) He did n o t s t a t e thi s on light authority a ; n point o f f ac t th e p i gs i n Ame rica eat th e she(-, were the cave the i" 9l . IP' p.— (Continued l aug ht er .) If t hi s n who b oug ht A mer i can 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 Americans Mr, were only cat Ting the out the same ptin2iple. doubt be astonishe 1 to fin r d Jonas Webb would no his farm-yard assaulted some day by an army o f • excellent mutton no et.Juht,Pb'gust : it they would like his lous sight nevertheless.—(Lau . would be a marvel ghter.) When boxers are in traini,,a- th ey eat mutton chops, and we do not sea the connection, on an there fore: between feeding on rim mutt - a - pork , wasting, but if that connection inspires Sir JOHN TYRREL with satizt.abtion.,.a.nd affprds a ground of hope to the farpoerx ? we wili4lot. rudely snatch it away.

Some very important circumstances are now work ing in an under-current, which will materially co operate in producing the beneficial results in the re vival of our manufactures, ,aimed at by the recent ta riff. The same cause that led to the depreciation in the price and character of many of our cotton and silk manufactures, viz., competiti on b y manu facturers to undersell each other, by supplying rubbish, and which has been So ably exposed in the House of Conimons, had - many years pre viously entirely' destroyed our export trade in watches, and very considerably d e p rec i a t e d t h e home trade. A Select Committee, of the - House of Com mons sat upon thiS snbject in the year 1818, and it appears from the Report, thatin 1796 the number of gold and silver. watch-cases marked 'in Goldsmiths'- hall amounted to 191,678.; while in- the year 1816 the gradual reduction had brought that number down to 102,112, exhibiting a diminution. of 89,566, or nearly one-half; and . it fiwther appears, from the last edition of " M'Cialloeh's Dictionary of Commerce," that that number was reduced 1841 to less than 100,000. In.one,toivnship alone in Lancashire, called Prescott, in which the manufacture of the movements of watches was the staple, there werein 1821, 869 fa milies employed •in handicrafts, while • in ,1831, from the manufacture of watches being utterly destroyed, that number was- reduced to only 540. That which this country has lost, .Switzerland has chiefly gained ; and . it is proved that England is, in this respect, tributary to the continent— that every year the quantity of ! foreign watches .sold in London and in the principal towns of: the three kingdoms is more than tenfold the'amount of thoSe manufactured in England. • - The great injury to.our manufactures and loss to our trade is likely speedily to have an• end, a gentle man who has devoted ; twenty years of his life to this subject, having Made a variety of machines by which an incredible number of watches, of every variety of size, may be made in a day.. 'By one of the machines 300 perfect plates ii can be., produced in a day, by another the same quantity of barrels ; fiy five machines the requisite number 'of centre, third, and fourth wheels (crossed, polished, and but), with balances for 300 movements. By 'ariether 200 pinions can be cut and rounded ; by another the. holes hre drilled, the tapping, the screw holes,: the various parts in the plate are sunk, planting the depths and escapements, &c., and all with such exactness as cannot be excelled ; another for the makilg and polishing 'of pivots, &c. Four other machines will he sufficient for making pivots for GO movements a day; and to add to these, there arc twenty other machines for every description of work connected with watch-making, and which altogether constitute a set. The inventor has submitted these machines to the scrutinising inspection of the most experienced makers of chronometers and watches in London, and not one has expressed a doubt of the work so produced being incomparably superior to that done in the usual way. Among other disti ngu i s h e d names in the trade we have observed those of Mr. Barwise, Mr. Earnshaw, Mr. Hewett, Mr. Vieyres, Messrs. Frodsham and Co., with about a hundred watchmakers in the country, who, with the Duke of Hamilton, Mr. Mildred (of the firm of Messrs. Mas terman and Co.); and Mr. Howell (of the firm of Howell and James), at their head, are' engaged in carrying out the great and national object of restoring this lost and important, manufacture, to England, by means which, while they will greatly lessen the price, improve the 'quality, and entirely undersell our foreign rivals, will be. very largely profitable to all parties concerned: - The subject is now in the hands of the Attorney-General. . • VISITORS TO 11E2 MAJESTY AT WINDSOR CASTLE:— Amongst the distinguished visitors who are expected to arrive at the Castle upon a short visit to the Queen, during the early part of this week, are her Majesty's illustrious relatives, Orli'. Royal:Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Prin cesses Augusta and Mary. .llis Serene 'highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of- Mecklenburg Strelitz, (who is betrothed' to the Princess Augusta of Cam bridge, her Majesty's cousin), will arrive at the same time upon a visit to the -Queen. Several other dis tinguished visitors are expected at the Castle to join the Royal and illustrious family circle previously to the departure of the. Court for Brighton, which has been arranged to take place on Tuesday, the Bth proximo. His Imperial Highness ~ the Arch-Duke F ede ick of Austria ' who will again be 'the guest of the Queen bef ore hi s d.parture from this country, will probably take leave:of.her Majesty during the sojourn of the Court §t Brighton.; • MISS MARTINE A U. (From the National Anti-Slavery Standard.) In answer to a letter addressed to Miss Martineau by Mr. Hutton, lamenting that she would not consent to receive h pension when offered to her by Lord Grey, and urging,her to re-consider her determination and accept the pension , from the Administration of Lord Melbourne, Miss Martineau writes the following:— "My dear Mr. Hutton,—You would not easily believe the delight your note has afforded me, as a fresh proof of your faithful and generous friendship. "My objections to literary pensions, conferred otherwise than immediately from Parliament, remain in full force. I owe it to your kindness to declare the grounds of my objections to this mode of provi sion ; but I owe it to you that (apart from all scruples of pride) my feelings against receiving a pension are full as strong as my reasons, and would, I believe, in duce me to give my present answer, even if I had no reason to offer. " The first of these reasons is, that money given as a reward for public service should be conferred only at the express desire of the public served; such ser vice having been wholly irrespective of Government. If such pensions were conferred by the representatives of the people, instead of by the Ministry, whom I cannot look upon as true exponents of the popular desire in this instance, I should probably thankfully accept what I must, under present arrangements, decline. " Again, I am certain that I shall lose more or less of my freedom of speech, if not of thought. I am aware how generously it is desired that the recipients of pensions should divest themselves of thiS feeling; but with me this would be impossible. I could never again deny to myself that I. was under a personal obligation to the Premier and others, and need not specify to you what restrictions would follow of course. " Again, I am sure my personal influence, and that which I exercise through the press, would suffer much ; not with all, hut with m an y. If I were fully satisfied as to the act being unexceptionable, I should probably not regard any misrepresentation that might be put upon it. But, feeling as I do, I should suffer from any decline of my influence, without having a right to complain, accompanied as such loss would be by a loss on my own part of self-respect, I have a strong suspicion, that if I accepted a pension I should never again address the public with freedom and satisfaction. You will not, lam sure, suspect me of blaming any who take the sort of pension which I feel myself compelled to decline. If they speak and feel differently, they are right in acting differently; I speak only for myself. • " Let me assure you that I do not feel the need of this assistance. ,My wants ar e sma ll, an d th us f ar I have supplied them. lam still able to work. If I lose this power, I have a little store to meet what will probably then he a short exigency. If I continue able to work, I hope to remain as free from an anxiety about a subsistence as I am at present. "I da not say that , I (in common with other au thors) have act a claim for aid, and just cause to com plain of my-poverty; hut my claim is one which can not be met by Royal or Ministerial bounty. If lite rary property had been protected, as all other pro perty is, I.should have been now enjoying more than a competence, together -. with advantages of another kind, which I value far more. In this direction, my dear friend, you may be able to benefit, not me—per haps it may be too late for that—but many authors in future, who may be happier in the protection of the laws than literary labourers of this generation. To Ministers who will see to the carrying out of laws already passed for our protection, and to Members of Parliament who will urge the passing of others, I promise gratitude as strong as if they had placed me in a situation of pecuniary ease for life. " I shall feel henceforth that a fresh strength has been added to the respect and regard with which I have always been yours, most truly, " H. MARTINEAU." • •" -A, 4 _ 4 ,v a* Z - A4 •*;,? 0, I A. 14, Wht :\iun4 LETTER FROM MR. DULLER. Dear Madam,—Lord Melbourne having heard of your present illness, as well as the inconvenience to which you are subjected, by the mode in which your money is settled, has desired me, as a friend of yours, to inquire whether you would accept a pension of 1501. per annum on the Civil List. It is out of his power to offer you more in the present state of things, but.l hope you will not refuse him the opportunity of giving this.proof of his respect for your writings and character, inadequate as the amount proposed may be. If you will accept the offer, have the goodness to write me word to that effect, and let me have the answer by return of post, as Lord Melbourne is desirous of com pl e ting the arrangement before he goes out of office. I cannot tell y ou how grieved I have been by re cent accounts of your sufferings, and how rejoiced I shall be if the offer which I have the pleasure of comfort.—Believe me, my dear com municating to y o u shall have the effect of contributing in any degree t o your co Miss Martineau, yours, very truly, CHARLES BULLER. Mi ss M ar ti nea u, in reply, after thanking Lord Mel bourne for the great consideration'and kindness shown to her at a time when illness prevented her from exer cising her talents, and when suffering from distress, till refused most firmly to receive any pension, and after using the•Eame arguments as are contained in the previous late-rl: 44 e - thzr 3 sPc , alics of 'WI' feelings in c.ktrstre - ihoiild receive it ; " On the one hand I should see public benefactors, before whom I am nothing, pining in privation, from which my pension would relieve them ; and, on the other, I should he taunted by images of thousands of poor tax-payers, toiling men, who cannot, with all their toil, keep their children in health of body, to say no thing of their hinds. Mighty visions about a sma ll matter' you I may, perhaps think ; but s m a ll or grea t, the moment had acted upon it, this matter would be come no less than all-important to my peace of mind. Indeed, I would rather, in the present circumstances of the country, put my hand into the fire than into the public purse. THE SPECIAL COMMISSIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. belong to the body of Chartists who sup port their principles on moral force only—and many of us see no great harm in calling Chartism, Complete Suffrage, we had each a vote for a Memb er o f P a rliament, and fo we would surely get the Ballot r g r e o , u for Magistrates, n'e y desire to ge t our r ights, and and other things needful.. We deplore the late outbreak, and the severe inflic tions of the law on those convicted. We believe Sir James Graham, as the bitterest enemy of freedom among our rulers, could not have planned a better scheme to keep down the freedom of the masses, than getting the working-classes into this hobble. But there is one paint in the late trials which we cannot understand, and we apply to you for information. We see that all the accused parties have been tried and disposed of in some way except Feargus O'C onnor , an d th e twenty eight other men who were i n di c t e d a l ong w ith him, all of whom are to be tried at some future time, it is said. We wish you to publish .in The Sun, when that time will be, for we do not know when the next Assizes will take place. We wish further to, learn, why the • Spe cial Commission, which was sent at such great ex pense, to try all political offenders, had it in their power to put off the trial of that portion which ap peared accused of the heaviest offence. We, although Chartists, did not disgrace ourselves with touching Tory gold, or giving countenance or support to Tory candidates at the late elections, and wish you to say, whether all or any oftheaccused-whohave been allowed to put off their trials, gave countenance or support to Tory candidates at the last elections ? These things should be published to encourage those who are honest moral ferca men, and no more. Has not Lord Abin ger sons in Parliament who, at the last.and at former elections, were• notoriously conspicuous for the bribery and intimidation of voters? • If this is true, would there be any harm i n thinking t h at L or d Abi nger h a d his hand in his breeches-pocket when palavering at Liverpool - to one class of prisoners and excusing an other froth trial. • A CONSTANT READER OF "THE SUN.' [The next Assize s w ill b e h e ld in March and April. Mr. F. O'Connor is i n di c t e d f o r a misdemeanour, and as affidavits were produced certifying that he could not appear in. Court and plead to the indictment without seriously endangering his health, the Judge as a matter of course allowed him to traverse. Why the others were allowed the same privilege we cannot state, but as they were all charged with the same species of mis demeanour, it was probably co nsidered more ad visable, both b y the Counsel for the prosecution and the defence, that they should be all tried at the same ti me. Possibly it is no grea t pr i v il ege after all, fo r th e parties in the meant i me w ill b e put on their good behavio ur and be not a little hampered thereby, b o th i n speaking and writing.

An Opposition consisting of nearly three hundred Members is rather a formidable body acting against a divided enemy, and as Sir R. PEEL repeatedly declared, that if his supporters rejected his measures they must also reject him, it requires no powers of di vination to foresee what, in such an emergency, would be his line of conduct. It would therefore be vain to appeal to the friend of the Church, Lord STANLEY, or to the Duke of RICHMOND, the friend of the farmers, or to any other party who would revert to the obsolete and exploded system of protecting certain classes at the ex pense of all the rest. A small infusion of Con servatistn into the Liberal scale would soon turn the balance, and then they would find a Conserva • tive Government and something less. Vast de fects still remain in our commercial system. We cannot afford to lose the trade with Brazil, amounting, in manufactures from this country, to six millions sterling, in order to keep up a monopoly in &your of West India proprietors, to whom the people of 11115 country, poor as well as rich, have paid twenty millions. sterling, an ample release from all obligations. We have affairs to settle with the Americans. The new Corn-law as regards them is a dead letter; and if we wish to cultivate friendship with our best cmtomers, and induce them to modify their tariff, we must abolish the sliding scale, and put meat, cattle, corn, and cotton all on the same footing. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S principles on free trade would lead him, even hampered as he is, to go a long way to conciliate the vast and in creasing population in the New World, and when he shall have on his right hand Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. ROEBUCK, and on his left Mr. BARING and Mr. CIIAS. BULLER, with Lord STANLEY, and the " remnant of a broken flue tion " in front, he will be inclined, as well as compelled, to go much further. The German I •.. Union is another obstacle in the way, and as he I professes himself a disciple of that clear-headed and skillful commercial reformer, the late Mr. HUSKISSON, he must make some concessions, to counteract the plans of that powerful confede racy. As regards France, much cannot be done. The prejudices of the people and the bigotry of the press, as well as the selfish propensities of the influential men in the Chambers, will, for some time at least, prevent any extensive com mercial intercourse with that country. But some thing, however, may be effected; not by treaties which are easily broken, as we know from experience, and much more easily evaded, but by reducing extravagant duties, by consulting the interests of our own people, without reference to those of other countries, and by a general system of liberal policy, which in time will - dispel the ignorance evil' Of the most bigoted monopolists of France: It is need less to recount the other countries with which we have commercial relations unsettled, for, with the exception of the United States and Brazil, they are of no importance as compared with the vast field which is opening for us in the East.. It is to that quarter we must look. China and India, and the numerous islands in the Asiatic seas, could furnish employment for all the . hands and mills in Lancashire and the West Riding of York, and it will be the fault of our rulers if we do not profit by an opportunity which may never again recur. The old Tories are, therefore, in what our Ameri can friends call a " dead fix," and must either stand stock still, or move in the line chalked out for them by Sir ROBERT PEEL. More tariffs are yet to come, and though it is generally considered ungenerous to trample on the fallen, yet we cannot pity men :who looked only to their own interests, robbed the poor and protected the rich, and were at last driven to the necessity of choosing a leader who repro bates their selfish doctrines, and sets them at defiance. We extract an article on the "Restoration of the Manufadture of Watches to GreAt Britain," which appeared in the Standard of Saturday, and is copied into the Times and chronicle of this morning. W e presume our last-named Contem porary does not mean by copying it to adopt the false principles of political economy and often refuted libels upon the Manchester manufac turers which it contains. Without meaning to say one word against the business por tion of this article, of which we are inclined to think favourably, or the respectability of the gentlemen whose names are mentioned as connected with the undertaking, which is undoubted, we• must protest against the grounds that are assigned for the loss both of our manu facture of watches and our manufacture of cottons. The latter is not lost, but has been yearly increasing, inasmuch as machinery has enabled it to be so lowered in price as to place it within the compass of all whom our restric tive laws will permit to receive it; and the former has been only lost, not from the causes assigned, but simply because machinery has not hitherto been employed in the manufactory of watches, and hand-labour could be had cheaper in Switzerland than in England. Now that machinery is likely, on a large scale, to be applied to the different pro cesses of watchmaking, the trade will doubtless grow up in the same way as the cotton-trade did, under similar circutnstances; and if those restric tive laws on the iMportation of the chief thing ibreigners have to give us in exchange be abo lished, there is little doubt that the cotton, the silk, the cloth, and the watchmaking trades will grow upoin' spite of FERRAND'S Devil's-dust, or the Standard's hypothetical demolition of all our manufacturing towns. We congratulate our Morning and Evening Contemporaries on the confidence they express of the restoration of one great trade to this country by machinery, and hope their conversion upon this subject to be sin cere, so as to prevent any further libels and inu endos upon the communities and individuals con. nected with it in this country. The course adopted by the MaryleboneVestry on Saturday in reference to the erection of a monument to the Scotch Reformers, appears very singular, and can be accounted to only by supposing that members did not know fur what question they were voting. The motion of Mr. JOSEPH, too, for re-committing the Report was, to say the least of it, very ill-timed. Had he moved that the Report be adopted, the question would have been settled, whereas it 'must be brought forward at some future, perhaps dis tant, meeting, thereby giving the opponents of the measure new opportunities of throwing obstacles in the way. A. liberal Vestry should have allowed no doubts to exist as to their, motives for delay, and marked their high regard for tl►e memory of the ',deceased Reformers by carrying the motion at once. Madrid papers of the 15th and 16th have been received. Most of 'the Liberal journals devote their leading articles to the memory of General DIEGO LEON, it being the anniversary of the day of his execution. Some of the journals appeared in mourning, and it is impossible to give an idea of [the reproaches uttered against the REGENT on that affair. A very serious manifestation took place in the capital in consequence of the day—all the most distinguished inhabitants of the capital appeared in mourning, and the churches were thronged, the masses having been appropriated to the deceased General. It was reported that serious measures were in contem plation against the journals, and also against the religious authorities, for not apprising the Go vernment of what was intended. The gerant of the Postada has just been con demned to two months' ,imprisonment and 500 reals fine, fur publishing offensive articles against M. GONZALES. The Three per Cents. were done on the 14th at 214 at 60 days; and the Five per. Cents. at 261 for cash, and 27 at 60 days. The Current Debt sold at 111 for cash. On the 15th the Three per Cents. were nego tiated at 20 fir cash, and 211 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 261 for cash, and 261 at 60 days. The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday contain long comments on Lord ABERDEEN'S let ter, but, with the exception of one article in the Journal des Debats, and another in the Sleek, which we have given elsewhere, they possess little interest. The Moniteur of Saturday pub lishes three Royal ordonnances, dated 21st inst.; the .first appointing Marshal Duke DE REGGIO Governor of the Invalides ; the second appoint ing Marshal GERARD Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, in the place of the Duke DE REGGIO; and the third giving the post of Corn-. mander-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine to Lieutenant-General jACQUEMINOT. Al luding to these appointments, the Moniteur says: " During the four years that Marshal Gerard haS been at the head of the National Guards of the de partment of the Seine he has nobly responded to the confidence of the King, and added new services to those which had long since rendered his name one of the most glorious in France. The King, in his soli citude for the health and repose of the illustrious Mar shal, rcently tried by cruel afflictions, has again con fided to him the post of Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour knowing well that, if difficult circumstances were to arise, the King and France could always reckon in case of need on the devoted ness of Marshal Gerard." The Journal des Debats says that the visit of the Commerce Minister to the south is for the purpose of visiting the works on the. Rhone for resisting inundation and rendering the river more navigable. All the suspension bridges, too, must be raised—a work of sonic difficulty. The con struction of a dock at Marseilles is considered necessary to aid that town to compete with the Italian towns that are taking away its transit trade. The Commerce publishes a speech made in the Municipal Council of Carcassone, a cloth manu facturing town of the. south, on the proposed treaty of commerce with Belgium. The re-union of Belgium to France, under the empire, say the people of Carcassone, caused the definitive loss of their extensive commerce with the Levant created by Colbert. The Belgian manufacturers, and those of the Rhenish provinces destroyed the cloth trade of the south of France. The Muni pal Council voted the sending of a remonstrance of this tenor to the Minister. Private letters from Paris contradict the report that new negotiations for a commercial treaty were on the point of being opened between this country and France ; and also state, that the attempts made to effect a custom3' union be tween Belgium and France have failed, and that King LEOPOLD will leave St. Cloud for Brussels on the 7th of November. The National, which still rails against M. Gutzor and the English, derives some consola tion from a report that an opposition has been formed against the existing Ministry, under the direction of Count MOLE, with M. DE SALVANDY and M. DE . LAMARTINE as assistants. The oh :a to r=crc T::::.1ts - iv the Cabinet, and from the wonderful change which that gentleman has undergone lately, it may be inferred that he is determined to make the attempt. " That party," the writer adds, " will command 30 votes in the Chamber of Deputies, and are determined to give a strong opposition to the Government in conjunction with M. THIERS' friends and the other fractions of the ancient Opposition." It is added, that the Cabinet is much shaken by the apPearance of this new enemy, which would present itself with the pre tensions to arrange all questions of internal and external policy upbn which the present Ministers are said to sleep. The result of this combination may possibly produce a Thu:as-Marx Ministry. General Count DELABORDE, Aide-de-Camp to the KING, died at Paris on Thiwsday. He was a member of the Academy of Science, and till last. session one of the Questors of the Chamber of Deputies, which post he resigned on account of bad health. "He was a man," says Galignani's Messenger, " of most benevolent character, of amiable manners, a great encourager of the arts, arid author of several important artistical works. He was also a good English scholar, and was in close correspondence with many of the most dis tinguished men in England. A Berlin letter of the 12th inst. announces the arrival in that city of the Duc DE BROGLIE, who, it says, met with► a most flattering reception. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22.
