LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. We have commenced looking for the return of the steamer Britannia, to-day, but previous to her arrival, which will probably be in the course of a few hours, one of our ex cellent line of packet ships, the " New York," commanded by Captain Collins, has arrived with dates four days later than before, that is to the 19th ult., inclusive. The news they contain is not of very great importance. The Tariff Question and the Ratification of the Treaties with . Great Britain were still be fore the Sedate, the latter being debated, as before, Iv' ith closed doors. The Com mittee, to whom President Tyler's fourth veto Message had been referred, had agreed to a Report, drawn up by J. Q. Adams, deprecating in the strongest terms the conduct and policy of President Tyler, and closing with a proposal FO P modifying the Constitution so far as to Prevent the exercise of the veto power by the President upon any Bill passed by a majority of t he whole number of both Houses of Legislature. Lord Ashburton had left Washington, and Proce eded to Philadelphia on his way to New °r k) and it i s sa id to Canada. He was in ex ,eell Cities where he would sojourn. The business and money markets were steady a nd quiet, the.. rate of exchange on England to 71- A good autumn trade was expected in New York f su mmer seison; ,p compensate for the dulness of the but business generally is spoken of as dull and unprofitable. 2_ The arrivals. out. had been numerous; the .leridatt) C olumbus, and South, America, fro m l 'werpool,r the Gladiator, from London, and a Packet from Havre. The steamer Britannia Was hourly: looked for, and we trust will bring now in a few lionrs.back to this port the news of her own safe arrival out and home ; she is fully due to-day. We are 'sorry to learn that the New York has brought, a s steerage p assengers, about 300 of the working class, chiefly emigrants, returning to this country, disappointed and hopeless of establishing themselves in the adopted home t hey had chosen. She had also a fair number of cabin passengers. ANOTHER RIOT—BLOODSHED —AND PROBABLE LOSS OF LIFE. The Ci nc i nnat i Message, of Aug. 9, says :—Our City last even i ng was the scene of another disgrace 'ld mob.

(Before Mr. PUCKER, the Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates.) THE BRI GILTON RAILWAY PROSECUTIONS.—Wm. Neal, aged 45, a respectable. looking man, was charged with felonionsly stealing, at Croydon, a quantity of broken stone, value 165., the property of the Brighton Railway Company. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Locke conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Wallinger uefended the prisoner. From the evidence for the prosecution it appeared that the prisoner was a servant in the employment o!. the London and Brighton Railway Company, and that it was part of his duty to take care of certain trams and stone-heaps, the property of the Company, which were placed on the old tramway leading from Wands worth to Croydon, on which the prisoner had been employed before the purchase of the tramway by the Brighton Railway Company. These trains and stones had formed a part of the tram-road which had been broken up. On the morning of the 9th of April the prisoner was engaged in stacking some stone, when Mr. 11. Overton, a crewer, residing at Croydon, whose house was near the old tramway, joined the prisoner, and asked him if he had any stone to sell ; to which the prisoner replied in the affirmative, and ultimately sold him a quantity of stone for 16s. The prisoner at the time of the sale did not say that the stone was the property of the 'Company ; and from the evidence of Mr. Coomb, the engineer of the Company, it ap peared that the prisoner had never accounted for the 16s. to the Company. The engineer, on his cross examination, stated that the prisoner claimed wages to April, but that he had only been paid up to De cember, as there was a dispute, as to his right to the wages claimed. Mr. CLARKSON, in defending the prisoner, com plained of the unfair treatment which the prisoner had experienced at the hands of the Company, i n being put upon his trial on this indictment, of which he had not before heard a word, for the offence for which he had been committed by the Magistrates was of a totally different nature. He suggested, that as the prisoner had kept the gate of the old tramway prior to its purchase by the Company, he might have supposed that these broken stones were his perquisite, and have disposed of them accordingly ; besides, as he claimed wages up to April, and had only been paid to December, he might have imagined that he had a right to pay himself in this way ; and if such were the case, tnere was no , felo nious intent, and they must acquit the prisoner. Mr. Penfold, a solicitor of Croydon, and the clerk to the Magistrates, then gave the prisoner a good character. The CHAIRMAN summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing 106 blocks of stone, vale 101., and 1 cwt. of stone, value 101., the property of the London and Brighton Rail way Company. Air. BODKIN having stated the case for the prosecu tion, called _ Mr. James Coomb, the resident engineer of the Company, who stated that the prisoner had charge of the old tramway as a servant of the Company, and that he was employed to lift the old tramway, to cart the iron plates to the station, and to stack the stones. The prisoner had no authority to dis pose of any stones. The witness in passing through the streets of Croydon saw a quan tity of stone employed in paving the streets, which be recognised as having formed part of the old tramway. He applied to the prisoner on the subject, and prisoner said they were the blocks which the parish had claimed. The parish had claimed some portion of the stone, hut it appeared to witness that there was more stone used than the parish had claimed. The prisoner never said that he had sold any. On his cross-examination, the witness admitted that he could not tell what quantity of stone he had allowed the parish to take, nor could he venture to swear that there was more stonein the street than he had allowed to be taken by the parish. Mr. Willoughby, assistant-surveyor of the parish of Croydon, deposed, that a portion of the stone used in paving Croydon had been claimed by the parish, and a portion purchased by him of the prisoner on the 2d April for '2l The stones were delivered by the pri soner on the 4th April, and were carted by the prisoner from his dwelling-house near the tram-road. Cross-examined—All the stones purchased from the prisoner were broken stones. It was deposited in the yard of the prisoner's house. The prisoner knew that the witness was the p Irish surveyor. The purchase was not a matter of concealment, and the stone was delivered in the day-time. Mr. CLARKSON took an objection to the indictment. The Cc.mpany was incorporated under an Act of Par liament, and they were there intitled "The London and Erighton Railway Company." Now they could only sue and be sued under that title, and if any por tion of that title were omitted they could not sue ca be sued. In this indictment the word " The" wa:- omitted; that was a portion of their title by Act cf Parliament, and as it had been omitted the indictment is as bad. Mr. BODKIN contended, that as the omission was not material it did not vitiate the indictment. The CHAIRMAN considered the objection a fatal one, sal the prisoner was acquitted. There were several other indictments against the prisoner, in the whole of which the same objection was found. Ile was consequently acquitted on the whole of them, and discharged from the dock. The Bishop of London has nominated the Rev. J Sinclair, M.A., one of his Lordship's examining lairs, and Secretary of the National Society, to tilt Vicarag of Kensington, vi.cant by the resignation o Aradomon Pott D.D. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDA Y EVENING, SEPTEMBER 14, 1842 POLICE INTELLIGECE. GU ILDHALL-(THIS DAY.) John Chancy and John Gray were placed at the bar, having been entered on the charge-sheet as hav ing violently assaulted police constable 284, whilst in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that he was on duty at half past one o'clock this morning in Smithfield, and the defendants were there playing a cornopean, and creat ing a disturbance. He told them to desist, when they fell upon him and knocked him down. The defendants said that they were certainly in Smithfield at the time, being close to their own homes. The defendant Gray was playing the cor nopean, and the complainant came up and told them to desist. They did so and were going away, when the complainant laid hold of Gray by the collar, and said, " Come along with me to the station-house." There was a slight scuffle, and they both fell, but no blow was struck. Mr. Alderman HOOPER said he could not believe that the assault sworn to had been committed, and he should therefore discharge the prisoners. He thought that there was too frequently a want of temper and discretion on the part of the police. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) A woman named Mary Ann Edmondes, was this morning placed at the bar, charged with being a dis orderly person, and Mr. Baker, jeweller, of 35, Long-acre, who gave the prisoner into custody last night, attended this morning as a deputy from the in habitants of Long-acre, and presented a memorial to the Magistrates, signed by a great number of the in habitants, complaining in strong language of the in creased nuisance, which prevented respectable persons from traversing Long-acre at night, much to the de triment of the shopkeepers. Mr. TWYFORD said it was certainly a great dis grace to this office that any disorders should take place so near a police-court as Long-acre. Ile should hand over the document to Superintendent Sandrock, with instructions to see that it was attended to.—The prisoner was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE.—(THIS DAY.) William Pitcher, a rough-looking scoundrel, was brought up before Mr. Rawlinson for the following assault :—John Sands, the landlord of the Victoria public-house, Paddington, stated that the prisoner walked into the taproom, where two young men were having a glass of ale together. Defendant said to one of them,. " What was that you said of me ?" and struck him a violent blow in the face. I - Ie (the land lord) interfered, when prisoner also struck him with a screw-driver, which was lying beside him. When at last pushed outside, he lifted a brick from the road and dashed it through the window, striking Mr. Sands upon the arm. TWo witnesses proved the above, and the Magis trate fined him 405., or two months' hard labour. QUEEN SQUARE.—(THIS DAY. A respectable looking man named White applied to Mr. Gregory, the sitting Magistrate, under the fol lowing circumstances :—He stated that he had been in the service of the Countess of Blessington, at Gore House, Kensington, for about a year and a half, first in the capacity of under-butler, and then as head butler. In consequence of an intimation that his -wages would be reduced, he gave 'notice of his inten tion to leave her Ladyship's service, and applied for payment of the sum of 61. due to him as wages, when the reply was, she would see him first before he should get 61. from her, as he had broken a sugar-bowl ; and as he seemed so anxious to " screw" her, she would screw him, and make him pay 41. 'for it. The applicant went on to state that it was only the stand of the sugar-basin that was broken, and that her Ladyship was, well aware that even in its original state, when new, it was not worth much more than 41., and the damage could be repaired at a very trifling cost. Mr. GREGORY said he could afford him no assistance in his capacity as a Magistrate, but he would advise him to go to Gore House, and get the 21. which her Ladyship expressed her readiness to pay, after which he might seek to recover the balance by action in the Court of Requests. THAMES-OFFICE.--(THIS DAY.) Robert Smith, late a cook on board the ship True Briton, was placed at the bar for final examination on a charge of murdering John Preston, the mate of the ship. On the first examination Thomas Turnbull, the Captain, w a s exam i ne d, w h ose ev id ence was to the effect that on the day in question the cook brought one of the boys aft to him (the captain) to be repri manded for some misconduct, and was so much irritated, that he was about to strike the boy, which witness prevented. Shortly afterwards there was a scuffle between the prisoner and two boys at the fore part of the ship, and on the captain and mate at tempting to quiet them the prisoner took up a part of the fore-scuttle hatch and struck the mate on the forehead, which stunned him. On recovering the In ate walked below, and went to bed, appearing very ill, and died about eleven hours after. Thomas Gibbs and Robert Ennis, two apprentices to the ship, were examined to-day, and corroborated the evidence given on a former occasion. The prisoner, who appeared extremely penitent, merely said that he was sorry for what he had done, but he was exasperated by the mate striking him. He had nothing more to say. Mr. BRODERIP said, that from the evidence of the boys, it did not appear that there was any malice pre pense in the case, but, it was evident the blow was in dicted in the irritation of the moment; lie shnnld, therefore, commit the prisoner on the charge of man slaughter only. SINGULAR ELOPEMENT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NORWICH, SEPT. 13.—An event has just occurred here, that, despite its being Festival week, engrosses the exclusive conversation of all our gossips. A Miss C., well known for her beauty and wealth, has just eloped with a London gentleman, a principal in, and representative of, a highly respectable firm, carryingon trade in London and Nottingham. , The circum stances are as 'follow :—Miss C. whose parents have been dead long since, was left about two years ago by her maternal grandfather property to the amount of about .15,000/., who also appointed her half-brother, and a celebrated lawyer of this place, her guardians. These gentleman placed her with a Mr. R. C. It was not long ere heraffections were sought, and (supposed to be) gained by a medical gentlemen of this city; but whether from disapprobation on the part of her friends, or loss of affection in the lover, this was broken off, and her love immediately transferred to a Mr. S., a clergyman of the Established Church, who by-the-bye it is as well to say, numbers full twice as many years as his lady love. All thing's went on prosperously and happily, the wedding-day was fixed for Thursday neat, the bridal dresses bought, brides maids selected, presents made, and all talking about and envying the happy man ! when—alas ! for human foresight—the Festival attracted to this spot the de stroyer of all these well-digested plans ; or, in plain English, Mr. N. being on his journey through this county, very naturally determined to relieve himself from the cares of business by staying here the Fes tival week, and being invited to the house of Mr. C., quite as naturally became uncontrollably in love with his guest. The consequence was, that he (Mr. N.) so far removed all impressions of the rev. gallant from the young lady's heart, that he persuaded her to elope with him on Sunday night, at twelve o'clock. All things were well arranged, one of the servants was bribed, and at between twelve and one the happy pair set off as fast as four good horses could gallop. You may well imagine the scene of confusion which ensued on the following morning, when, on Miss C. being summoned to the breakfast parlour, it was found that she had fled. Two letters were left, di rected to her guardians, telling them to be under no apprehension, as she was only going to get married. "These gentlemen immediately started in chase, but as they left here about the time the runaways would reach town, I do not think there is much chance of their catching them. EXPENSES . OF THE " INSURRECTION" TO THE' RATE PAYERS.—We understand that the expenses incurred last week in the West Riding, in the preservation of the peace, will amount to no less than 100,000/. sterling. The expense of last week in Leeds alone amounted to about 2,000/., though the peace of the town was scarcely once disturbed. There will be a dreadful increase of rates in all the manufacturing districts, which, however, may have the effect of teaching the pounds-shillings-and pence men of the middle classes how very much cheaper, as well as safer, is Justice than Coercion.—Leeds Times. COVENT -GARDEN THEATRE :a—MSS Adelaide Kern ble though not quite restored, but in improved voice, went through the part of Amina, in La Sonnambula, last night at this house. Miss Poole, so long and so de servedly a favourite on the metropolitan boards, made, on this occasion, her first appearance here for the last seven years, in the part of Lisa. She was received on her entry with a warm welcome from all sides, and in her tasteful .costume looked a very charming village damsel. Her singing in the air at opening, and that in the last seene of the opera, proved her to be an effective auxiliary to the vocal force of this house. Her voice is full-toned and highly agreeable, and it appears to have been cultivated with good taste and assiduity. She was very liberally applauded. _ _ Several houses at Bordeaux have received letters from their correspondents at Maestricht, complaining that Belgium has excluded from the favour granted to French wines those which come to that city by the Meuse and Rotterdam. We should suppose that Belgium will alter this decision, especially since it grants to the wines of Prussia and Germany the same privilege as to French wines. The arrival by the Meuse and Rotterdam is the most natural for the whole country of Liege ; it may therefore be believed that it will ba adopted by Belgium, unless the im portation through Maestricht should be attended with too great inconvenience to the treasury.—Commerce. I SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THR MORNING PAPERS OF Taus DAY. TIMES.—In our late remarks upon her Majesty's reception by the modern, degener a t e representatives of the magnanimous and enthusiastic Bailies Nicol Jarvis, Macwheeble, and Little John, we ventured to anticipate that the " Highland welcome" which i awaited Queen Victoria would show, at the same tine, what were the real feelings and opinions of the Scottish people, and, by the contrast, put still further to shame, if shame in such a case were passible, the cheese scraping pride and candle- sav i ng di gn it y Of the Town Council of Edinburgh. - Our anticipations have, of course, not been disappointed. Highland hospita lity, Highland truth, and Highland loyalty, have once more proved themselves worth' of their ancient repu tation, and have again redeemed and maintained, as they were wont of old, the honour and character of Scotland. We will not ;any our Highland friends the bad compliment of saying that we unfeignedly re joice that it is so, for this would imply that there had been a time when we doubted about the matter ; .but we may be permitted to express our satisfac tion that her Majesty has .giVen her northern sub jects the opportunity of once more expressing their loyal adherence to the Throne, and their personal attachment to their Sovereign. A progress of this sort is, we conceive, in a national point of view, chiefly . beneficial, in that it communicates between, and mixes and blends into a greater unanimity, the feelings, the sentiments, and the principles, of the dif ferent peoples composing this great empire. Politics, for instance, and especially Scotch politics, have a ten dency to become local and peculiar. The visit of the Court infuses new blood into the system. The ex istence of a school of politics different almost in kind, though ranged under the same parties and the same names, is brought home much more forcibly by its actual presence and operation among the people, than it ever could be by any distant contemplation of its tenets, or even by a visit to its ordinary and proper scene of action. Scottish politics have long been very distinct from, and have also long and gradually been assimilating themselves to, English. Scotch Toryism has been a more personal, a more clannish, perhaps a higher and more disinterested, feeling than English. The hereditary succession, which for ms one o f th e main features of the constitutional monarchy of these and d monarchy in been almost realms, but which in English politics h as ever b een regarded as distinct from the fundament a l pr i nc ipl es on , which go a v r e e rn b m as e e n d t , ihnaageinn Scotland eral,a exalted' above both. Certainly it has been held to constitute an integral element of all government —au almost necessary condition to the claim of civil obe dience. Many other points of difference might be suggested ; but the one just named is perhap s as re. markable as any, and has proved as enduring. Not the 100 years of English intercourse that have elapsed since the Union—not the 150 years that have elapsed since the establishment by law of Presbyteria n church government-not the Edinburgh school of philosophy of the latter end of the last century, or th e party which has sprung from it—not the Reform Bill itself; and the consequent growth of a party simply Conser vative (though that party is a large and an influential one), have availed to overcome the peculiar and feudal spirit of personal reverence which has distinguished Scottish Toryism ever since the days of Montrose. On the other hand, Scottish Whiggery has, we think, contrived to find " beyond the lowest deep a lower still." There is no necessity here to re capitulate the somewhat musty examples of canny self-seeking with which every reader of Dr. Johnson, or rather .of Boswell, is doubtless acquainted, and which have illustrated the annals of Scotch Whiggery, Indeed, it has not been with the purpose of drawing wider the distinction between the subjects of her Ma jesty dwelling north and those dwelling south of the Tweed that we have adverted to the above circum stances. It has been rather with the hope of promot ing and furthering the amalgamation of the two peo ples, in feeling , in character, p .s , and ultimately in insti tutions--of realising, if possible, still further th e union which has existed in law for upwards of a cen tury, and which, by the increased facilities of inter course, will now probably become, sooner or later, a union in deed. And, doubtless, if complete and per fect union be meant, it is not possible, until by a long continued legal union the habits, the manners, the institutions, and the religion of the two peoples be come more and m ore one and the sa me. This has been gradually th e case w ith Scotland and England ;_ we doubt not th a t it w ill ultimately be more so. Doubtless a R o y a l progress , s uch as that now made by Queen Vi c t or i a , h as t h e ver y best effect in tending : to promote, th oug h i nsens ibly, this desirable consurn 'nation. CIIRONICLE.—We are in hopes tha t . we see in- dications of some goo d lik e l y t o result from the late I unhappy disorders, in compensation for the g rea t ev il which th ey h ave undou b ted l y occasioned.

' The late out break was calculated to produce this result. Actingli i: upon the advice constantly gi ven b y O'Connor and confederates a great.body-of the workmen in the ma nufacturing districts.entered i n t o . t h e l a te• strike, and its necessary concomitants of riot and disorder, in the hope of bringing about the establishment of the Peo ple's Charter. The instant the agitators found the , matter getting serious, they thought only of their own safety, withdrew from th e scene of action, and left their dupes to struggle and to suffer alone. Conduct thus openly base was calculated to disabuse the people ; and we are happy to see that the influence of the Chartist leaders has been seriously shaken by their conduct during the r ecen t occurrences . We see that Bronterre O'Brien, who of late appeared to be : couched under the influe nce o f O ' Conno r, is now again assailing him, and charging him with the gross est treachery to his followers. The Chartist papers ! ring with similar denunciati ons , emanat i ng s ome from : anonymous, some from open accusers. What effect these accusations have produced, it is impossible as yet to estimate with any degree of accuracy But it is clear that O'Connor is reduced to a mere defensive ' position towards his own par ty. An d A when once charges so obviously true, are openly made against a demagogue, it is not likely that he will long escape detection and desertion. the late occurrences, too, must haire had a good effect in showing the working people how hopeless it is for them to attempt to carry their own objects in despite of the opposition of all other classes of society. Mr. Richardson, a Chartist leader of some note, says in a letter on the late occurrences recently published in O'Brien's paper, "To be candid, I fear Chartism has received a terrible blow, from the effects of which it will require some time to recover." "Every one must be aware, from the formidable opposition of the middle class during the late movement, that much remains to be done before the People have the slight est chance of gaining the Charter either by moral or physical means. The physical ' force of the middle classes in the disturbed districts was tremendous ; every town swarmed with horse and foot patrols of the middle classes," &c. It appears that these Char. tist leaders had taught the peopl e to expect that the middle classes of their countrymen would sit still in apathy, or lie down in terror, while others were ravaging their property. It is well, at any rate, that they are undeceived on this poi nt ; that they should see that big words will not suffice to over throw the present frame of society ; and that their present , leaders, bountiful in words, have no disposition to resort to deeds i n . their behalf. The two lessons. thus taught the people, by the result of the late ill-advised movement, have already begun to - produce a better disposition among them. Every day there is exhibiting itself a strong tendency among numbers of the working People to quit the ranks of the' , physical force" Chartists, and join with those who desire to attain their e nds by peaceable means. Both sections of the Chartists, it is true, seek the same, or almost the sa me ) constitutional changes. But the difference consists not merely in the means by which the two sections propose to attain their great end. The peaceable Chartists see that the establishment of Universal Suffrage 1, -y the mere in fluence of opinion, must be a matter of considerable time, and must be preceded by the co- Veration of the middle classes. Instead, therefore, of repelling the aid of the latter, according to the false counsels of O'Connor, they insist on a reconciliation of the middle and working classes as the first step to be effected: and in the interval that must elapse ere the Charter shall have made sufficient progress in public opinion, they are desirous of uniting with the middle classes in the effiart to remove common grievances. If the Charter is to have adherents (and that the feeling 0, 4,tu,_ e great body of the working classes is strongly aroused in behalf of an extended suffrage cannot be doubted), it is some thing gained if the great body o f its adherents profess moderation, doctrines of peace and and co-operate with other great bodies of their co untrymen instead of thwarting every attempt to‘ secure improvement. We shall have some compensa tion for the calamities of recent disorder if, in consequence of them, suc h an improved state of feeling grows_ up bet ween the classes now separated by an unnatural and mischievous hos tility. Much will have been gained if a futile out break and its chastisement tea .. ch , the w or ki ng peop l e to abstain f ro m objects beyon d their grasp, and avoid the leader s th a t have betrayed t hem. They will then naturally seek leaders among that middle class, whose interest is the same as their own, and whose intelli- ' Bence qualifies them to guide them. They will then direct their attention to practical grievances, and, with the sympathy of their countrymen, labour to remove the common cause of the col/ 1 410p distress of all classes in the country, . HERALD.-4f Manchester Magistrates could fix , !the price o f j us ti ce , as th e y see m inclined to fix the price of ginghams, we should advise Sir James Graham to have a conference with Lord Stanley, and inquire whether La ncas hi r e, as a county in England, might not be taboo'd with as much facilityas a plot of ground by savage chiefs in New Zealand. To say the naked truth, the wild justice of. New Zealand is infinitely preferable to the unreasonable justice of Manchester. Are the men at Manchester all mad? For justice seems to be sanctified as a goddesi there, but only to be treated in the allegorical way—to be kicked about as blind because she is impartial, and to be despised as helpless because she is invulnerable—whereas Justice is a very practical little, woman, who has eyes to see through her bandages, and has hands more cer tain for length and tenacity than those of Briareus. The Mayor of Manchester may be a monstrously great man, and the Town-clerk of Manchester, as a matter of course, a much greater man than he ; the Mayor, for aught we know, a Zealand chief, with a savage idea of despotic justice; and the Town-clerk may be a smiling, smirking slave, under the very pleasant patrona:o of his civic tomahiwk—but what then ? The Mayor of Manchester and the ToWn-clerk of Manchester are, if we count them by noses, only two men ; and we have not heard yet of much wisdom having come out of the breath of their nostrils. We would forgive the Mayor and his clerk an immense amount of folly and mendacity; but we will not lightly pass over such an insult to justice as these two ° ovntlemen hazarded on Monday last. We sp o k e ver y strongly on Tuesday week last of the * seizure and 1 forcible detention of two young men apenticed to a Mr. Turner, a printer, in Manchester—the said Mr. Turner having been held to bail for printing a sediti ous libel. He may have printed ten thousand sediti ous libels for anything that we know or care about ; for the result proves, exactly as we predicted, that neither Chartism nor the Corn-laws have much more to do now with the turn-outs than, as Burns says, " last year's snow has to do with this year's guineas." But to our mutton. Mr. James Hampson (whom we must suppose to be a member of the Manchester Common Council, and if not so much the better) asked a question of Mr. Mayor. The question ran thus : " tt was with reference to Turner, the printer of a particular placard. Not only had he been seized in the first instance, but his apprentices were also seized, and had been subsequently kept, it was said with their own consent; but he wished to call the Mayor's at tention to it as a proceeding dangerous to the liberty of the subject." • Oie would suppose that was the way to raise a question, so as to extort a plain answer from any ho nest'man ; but the Mayor of Manchester is exces sively obtuse : " Mayor—Are you asking me a question, Mr. Hampson ? " Mr. Hampson—l am. I wish the corporation to stand either as connected with it (the imprisonment of Turner's apprentices), or to be free from the guilt of it. I call it a most arbitrary proceeding. You are chief Magistrate ; the State nominates Magistrates generally; but we have the right_toshoose our chief Magistrate ; and in this view I thitlV it right to call your attention to what I consider an offence against the liberty of the subject. Except you respect justice yourself, you cannot expect that others will do so. " Mr. Mayor—l do not see the drift of Mr. Hamp son's observations," &c. _ _ Poultice the eyes of justice at Manchester, Sir James Graham ! Clap a blister on the eyes of this beautiful Mayor at Manchester, which shall make him" see the drift of a fair straightforward question. " I cannot see the drift of Mr. Hampson's observa tions !" Why the man was—we will only use the mild phrase of the nursery—a story-teller on the very face of his assertion ; and a good bold liar is worth a grops of tellers of stories. The Mayor of Manches ter; knew as well as ever any beggar knew his dish what Mr. Hampson was driving at. Mr. Ham pson knew, as all the world knows, by whom the two young men were seized; but he wanted to know by whose warrant they are detained. We will not conde scend to use any plea ad misericordiam for the sake of the mothers of these young men. We do not care if it should turn out that they have been fattened into being prisoners by consent, and that their mothers are maintained by the police. We say, as we said at first, that, let the Manchester Magistracy put this case in any light they can, it is a most scandalous one. Are we defending the matter, Turner ? Very, very far from it. If he has, for the filth of lucre, soiled his hands by printing a seditious placard, twelve honest men can say so, without the monstrous precedent being set of a man's own family being forcibly imprisoned to ex tort evidence against him. A master' stands by every tiel legal as well as moral, in loco parentis to an ap prentice; and we consider it as great a violation of the domestic sanctity even to wheedle away an ap prentice to give evidence against his master, as it wquld be to kidnap a child to betray his father. Talk of 'Olivers, Vic., indeed! If this system is to be pur sued by the Magistracy and the police, every father must begin to instruct his children that they are not to betray the hasty or incautious words which the most careful of us use when we retire within the sa cred precinct of our own threshold. We are glad to perceive that our former remarks on this subject have done the good which we intended ; and we can assure the conceited and stupid Mayor of Manchester that we shall keep an eye upon the subject. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. • CITY. TUESDAY EVENING. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 8 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10? ) d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 2.5 35k, and the exchange at Paris on Lon don at short being 25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.88 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 03 per mark, which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10 1 , it follows that gold is 4 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh, The English stocks remain in the same unchanged condition, business is languid, and barely sufficient to support prices, yet still no decline is observable, and they are kept up to those current yesterday. Money is by all accounts accessible at easy rates as hereto fore, and though such a circumstance is enough to explain the reason for the firmness of quotations in the stock-market, it does not furnish a solution for the otherwise dull state of things in the City. By the official returns published by the Customs the exports of the precious metals to foreign and co lonial parts for the week ending Thursday last, were as under : oz. Silver coin to Bombay 12,000 Silver coin to Rotterdam lB,OOO Gold coin to Prince Edward's Island 125 POST.—The increased, demand for money accom modation noticed as having exhibited itself yesterday, has proved to have been not very partial, or rather temporary, as, in fact, it was represented to be in the short account given of the change in our last City article. The market to-day was decidedly easier again, the first class commercial yaper commanding an interest of no more than 2* per cent. per annum. The private bankers are not disposed to afford dis counts at less than 21 per cent. ; but, for the moment, they get no bills. A different state of things may succeed in the course of a day or two ; indeed, the lead ing brokers seem rather to anticipate that such will be the case, although the opinion of the more intelligent of them is evidently in favour of the continuance of a low rate of discount for some time to come. In certain quarters an improvement in the prospects of trade is thought to be perceptible, but in the actual state of the markets, it may be questioned whether there is quite so much activity as there was a fort night or three weeks ago. The unwillingness before alluded to, to embark capital in stock and other in vestments of a like description, prevails just now in a very remarkable degree, and has become a subject of general comment. Commercial bills are, as we have shown, to be cashed at an exceedingly moderate rate ,f interest, but for public securities there is not the smallest inquiry, and if our own national funds, and some few others standing similarly high in point of sa f e ty, be excepted, there would appear to be none 'that capitalists can be tempted to embark in. Mention is made in the Madrid news of a project for the establishment of an " Anglo-Spanish Bank" having lately engaged the attention of the Spanish capitalists, and of the Government. The capital to be raised for the institution is to be 2,000,0001. in 20,000 shares of 1001. each, and there would seem to be a suspicion that English speculators may be found to join in the undertaking provided the early instal ments be low, nor is the opportunity neglected of pointing attention to the fate of the - United States and other American banks, by way of caution, the general looseness of the Spaniards in their financial affairs being also touched upon as a further provocation to vigilance. An intimation that the Spanish Govern ment is quite capable, in the event of a pressing emergency, which will be sure to arise, of appro priating to public purposes the funds of the embryo bank, is not out of place or out of time. The public require to be constantly warned of the danger of these foreign speculations, but it must be admitted that, if ever there was one moment at which they less needed to be put upon their guard than another, it is the present. The project is said to be much in favour with the new Finance Minister, Calatrava, but that gentleman is not aware of the extent of the change which has taken place in the minds of English capitalists with regard to Peninsular enterprises of the kind since he was a resident c& the English metropolis. The Anglo,spanish` Dank has no chance whatever of obtalning'popularity, or even of acquiring a footilig, in the money circles of this collntry% SUN.—There was rather TirTe f rmness in the Funds this afternoon, Rpti primes, at the close of business, were nearly as they were yesterday, Cons 4 leaving off at 924 92i for Money, and 93 sellers 1 1 1? i tip Ac count.

I The quotation for Mexican declined to 353: 354. Some misapprehension appears to have arisen, and to be most industriously fostered by certain parties, as to the manner in which the surplus of the remittances over the current dividends is to be disposed of. It was distinctly stated at the meeting of the bondholders, at which the capitalization of the arrears of interest was accepted, that the Government was to remit a certain portion of the Customs Revenues for the pay ment of this particular portion of the debt ; that the dividends should first be paid from this fund, and that all that might remain, over and above, should be applied to the liquidation of the debentures granted in lieu of the over-due coupons. This was somewhat ' of a tnodification upon the proposals of the Mexican Finance Minister, but acceded to by Messrs. Lizardi, subject to his approval. It is clear, therefore, a; until Ithe agents be authorised they have but obe ' course to pursue, that of first paying the divide n d s out of the sums which may be in their hands, and then, if authorised, to pay off a portion of the de bentures. The real object of this clamour for can celling these documents may be gatheredfrom the fact that hitherto the Government have shown every disposition to pay :off all the claims upon them, and accordingly have, at each opportunity, remitted the stipulated sum for the purpose; if such be so, and so it is, the debentures, which ought all to be held by the original bondholders, should be, apart from specu lation, the best security w hi c h cou ld b e held. But as has been before noticed, a great deal of time business is carried on in the market in which these bonds are' negotiated, and, speculation being at present ripe, it appet t irs to be the object of th e o p era t ors t o i n fl uence the quotation of Spanish at the expense of Mexican. Real) holders, it would appear, have no cause to be afraid, while speculators who venture there must do so, with their eyes open. A slight decline in the prices of Great Western, and an improvement in that for London and Birming ham,Railwav Shares, has to be noted; the latt , r being 180 182, and the former 811- 82i ; the Half Shares 59 59-1 per Share ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 49 51; South Western, 58 59 ; North Midland 56 58 ; the New Shares, 27 28; South Eastern and Dover, 22 221 ; Eastern Counties, 81 8i ; Northern and Eastern, 37 38 ; Blackwall, 7 71 ; and Brighton, 33.

An attempt was made some few years - since to open a new trade in the eastern parts of the Mediter ranean with the countries abutting on these coasts. Since the earlier expeditions but little has been heard of its progress, but some letters re cently received give very favourable accounts of 'the extension which it has gradually made. Not only have British manufactures been pushed far into the interior, but quite a new trade has sprung up, which has hitherto been exclusively carried on by English vessels, that of carrying goods from Alexan dria, which has been formed into a depot, to the adja cent ports. Hitherto it has been almost a monopoly, but within the last few months several ships have left this country to participate in it, and from all accounts with every prospect of success. It is a singular cir curnstance that more has been done to extend this branch of commerce by the exertions of certain per sons in the suite of the Bishop of Jerusalem, during the short period he has been in that country, than had been effected previously. If the trade continue to in crease as it has hitherto, a most valuable source of consumption for our goods will be permanently opened. COURSE OF EXCHANGE—(YESTERDAY. 1 Amsterdam CF. 12 9 Gibraltar...

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING.--A splendid entertainment was given this morning on board this magnificent ship, by the Directors of the Oriental and Peninsular Steam-ship Company, to a numerous and distinguished party. The Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer was the only one of her Majesty's Ministers whose official duties allowed him to attend. Among the party present were Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth ; Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, the Superintendent of Portsmouth Dockyard ; Rear-Admiral Dick, Major- General Sir James Lushington and Lady, F. Carleton, Esq., and Lady, Captain Ward, R.N., the Mayor of Southampton, Captain Elliott, R.N., Capt. Codring ton, R.N., Rev. R. J. Robinson and Lady, Sir John Campbell, P. M. Wilcox, Esq., Lieutenant-Colonel Loch, W. Fawcett, Esq., Dr. Arnott, Thomas Wilson, Esq., Major Straith, Captain Barber, Captain Mairn and Lady, Lieutenant Jenkins and Lady, J. A. Shaw, Esq., and .f.,ady, his Excellency General Sancho, Chevalier Sancho, Sir William Pym, General Ven tura, J. Locke, Esq., F. J. Vanzeeleer, Esq., and many other gentlemen, incl u di ng severa l o f the Direc tors of the. South Western Railway, and the Hon. the East India Company. A special train, consisting of six carriages, started from the Vauxhall terminus a little before ten o'clock, and arrived at Southampton about half-past twelve. Upon the arrival of the train from London the com pany proceeded to the new clock, which has been opened about a fortnight. Here a steamer was wait ing, to convey the visitors on board the Hindostan. The basin attracted considerable attention from its im mense space. The area is sixteen acres ; the entrance, which opens to the lichen, is 150 feet wide. It is capable of accommodating vessels of the largest size, as it is eighteen feet deep at dead low water, even in spring tides. As soon as the steamer left the basin the Montrose, Great Liverpool, Royal Tar, and Bra ganza steamers, belonging to the Oriental and Penin sular Company, fired each a salute of seventeen guns, and manned their yards. When the company had all got on board the Hindostan, she immediately hove up the anchor and got under weigh, and proceeded about two-thirds speed down the Southampton water. She started at half-past one, and arrived off Calshot Castle, a distance of seven or eight miles, at a cluarter pa.' two. Here she hove to for a few minutes to :eceive Miss Codrington, a daughte r o f the all 9 at Admiral who had come from Portsmouth in the Admirar; yacht. During the time the iiindostan was making Calshot Castle, the company wore shown over every part of the ship, and wero mu c h gratified at what they witness e d. I n ug addition to th e p art i cu l ars a l rea d y published, the follgwi will be found inte res ti ng . Not only are her accommodations and conveniences not surpassed by those of any steamer afloat, but she will carry out an officer not usual in the mercantile marine—a chaplain. " She is 2,017 tons, and has engines of 520 horse power, viz.:—cylinders, 79 inches ; stroke, 8 feet ; wheel, 32 feet. She i s square - r i gge d f orwar d, carry ing all the yards of a line-of-battle ship on the fore mast; she is schooner-rigged abaft, and is in every point adapted for a tropical climate. Her speed from Liverpool to Dublin has already been noticed by the journals of the day—she beat one of the fastest of her Majesty's mail packets between Liverpool and Kings town, by one hour 30 minutes, in an eleven hours' passage. From Kingstown to the Needles, a distance of above 450 statute.miles, she steamed in 36 hours five minutes, and from Falmouth to the Needles she was eleven hours 36 minutes. She has the power of working her steam exptmsively toany grade calculated to produce the greatest possible effect at the least ex penditure of fuel; beyond that the engineer is con trolled, During the passage from Kingstown to Southampton her consumption, without any expan sion whatever, was 71bs, the horse power per hour, which is extremely moderate under such circum stances, She has four separate and distinct boilers_ distinct In all their fitting—thus giving the engineer the power of working as many of them as the wants of the machinery require, according to the resistance of the vessel between the light and load water-mark s —a difference of depression amounting to nearly fo ul: feet for so long a voyage as that she is intended t o perform. She has four bilge pumps conweted with the machinery, and which are capaWe of throwi ng above ?,00 gallons water per minute out of the shi - She has pipes conveyed jute all the holdsand coal * depots from the stew closets, to exting ' _ ulsh fire , as it is well known now that the action of ste am is instan.t; - ,aeous to extinguish fla ute :x After she left Calshot Cagl e , and Brambles her head was —t the Needles, beat when 1 , . to the about and Xamouth she was put Ow Aletherbank and Ryde, A splendid cold collati oA was got clear of the midway westward, towards about, between Cowes and stood towards which upwards Sir John Campbell of 130 ladies andprepared on board, at presided. gentlemen sat down.

The next toast given was, " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family."--(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave, "The Army and Navy." Sir E. CODRINGTON returned thanks on behalf of the navy. In the course of his speech he said he was of opinion that in the course of time steam would be introduced into every ship in the navy. He was aware that there were many persons who thought that the introduction of steam into the navy would alter the character of the service, and that it would tend to bring discredit on the naval part of it. By the naval part of the service he meant the sailing part. He, however, thought differently, and believed that steam would prove of the utmost benefit, and if there was a steam engine on board a ship of war, she would be able when becalmed and attacked by gun• boats, to turn her broadside to them and sink them. lie thought that steam, by promoting the rapid intercourse between nation and nation, would be a great means of prevent ing future warfare. Sir J. LUSHINGTON returned thanks on behalf of the army. I The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said it was antic;pated that they would have been honoured that day by the presence of several of her Majesty's Ministers. They were, however, at a distance, attend ing on their Sovereign. There was, however, one member of the Government present, a gentleman who had upheld those constitutional principles upon which the welfare of the country depended. He would pro pose, " Mr. Goulburn and her Majesty's Ministers." Mr. GOULUURN briefly returned thanks. He said it was the intention of several of his colleagues to have been present at that meeting, but circumstances over which they had no control prevented them. They would have felt it a duty to have gi ven encourage ment to that great enterprise which, while it promoted the employment of English capital, was the means of extending the rapidity of intercours e a ll over t h e t ' ll and en t erpr i se hen h e w i tnessed world. That splendid vessel was destined t o k eep up a more close connexion and communion b e t ween empire.lnd ian% athde s her fitting he r w i t h ma. displayedth at England beautiful a in n d ship, d n andg her saw chinery, it was to him a most gratifying sight, for in it he witnessed the skill, and power, and wisdom, o f the country, which added to the character of the. glory she had displayed. In the absence 'of any other member of The Government, he thanked them for the honour they had conferred upon him and his col-. leagues. Sir J. LUSHINGTON then proposed " The health of the Directors of the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Company." Sir J. CAMPBELL returned thanks in a very able speech, which was loudly cheered throughout. He concluded by proposing " The Hon. East India Com pany, the_ patrons of that enterp r i se ." Sir J. MACKINTOSH returned thanks. The other toasts which were given were—" The Ladies"—" The Pacha of Egypt"—" Messrs. Wilson, and Faucett, the builder and engineer of the Hindos tan"—" Captain Moresby"—" Mr. Shaw"—and " The Chairman." When off Ryde, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Admirals Codrington and Parker, and Captain and Miss Codrington, took their departure. The ship then returned to Southampton, which she reached between six and seven, and the company disembarked, and, most of them returned to London by the special trail all highly gratified with the excursion. Firework s were let oft; and blue lights and port-fires burnt, on board all the Oriental and Peninsular steamers - while the company were landing. (From the Liverpool Jourral.) We had a sight of the saloons of this splenilid ship last night by candle light, and do not hesitate to say it surpasses anything of the kind ever yet done in this or any other country. The admirable decorations in the saloon and ladies' cabin were fitted up by Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge, of Birmingham. In the saloon or dining-room, there are eight painted panels, four of which are nearly five feet long each, and the subjects -Ist, The rising of the Nile when all the cities of the Delta are laid under water. 2d.

TR' " PRINCELY MANFION" or WYNYARD.--A dispute exists between thit township of Grindon and the Marquis of Londonti.erry, relative to the amount at. which the latter should be rated to the poor for the mansion-house at Wynyard, the extensive gardens and grounds, the stables, coach-houses, residences of porters, gardeners, schoolmasters, &e., the park containing about 600 acres of wood, and nearly 900 acres of grass land. The agents of the Marquis assert that the whole is only worth 5001. a year ! and th a t, if rated at a larger stun, the Marquis will appeal. Can it be possible, that this, is the princely residence and magnificent demesne about which so much noise has been made in the pros ineial Tory organs of the last few weeks?—Gateshead O',server.

We hear that Prince Esterhazy is expected to pro long his sojourn at Dover for some days longer, for the advantage of the marine baths. His Excellency will proceed to Middleton Park shortly after his arrival in town, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Jersey.
