WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1842. midst of the cheers of the Members. Were these re joicings inspired by a patriotic and enlightened hope that the measure will mitigate and cure the woes of the people, or by mere animal pleasure at the termination of an irksome task ? We are afraid the latter was the source of the cheers. Sir It PEEL, indeed, expressed a strong opinion that his Tariff will improve trade, and restore enterprise. No inconsiderable portion of the trading community are of the same opinion. Without sharing in their anticipations, we heartily hope they may be realised. We want a return of prosperity—we want to see the people well fed and comfortably clothed—and we care not by whose instrumentality the good work is achieved. We, however, believe that the Tariff, in the present condition of the community, will be of very little advantage, and we shall be delighted at learning that we have been wrong, and that the Tariff works wonders for the people. We cannot, however, allow the Bill to pass, without o7)serving that Sir B. PEEL is one of the most powerful lawmakers that ever swayed the House of Commons to his purposes. He has now carried, almost unaltered, all his great measures. his reputation is gone, as it were, out of his own keeping ; he has set it on the effects of the Corn-law, the Income-tax, and the Tariff, and it is be yond his control. Events, not a little influencing the House of Commons, will soon decide whether Sir B. PEEL. is to he honoured as a great statesman, or derided as a mere pretender to statesmanship. There is no body of professing Christians less open to attack than the Society of Friends, usually called Quakers. Taken as a whole, there is no Christian sect o lkt,le tainted with the vices that deform society. Cleanly in their habits ; grave and decorous in their de meanour ; shrewd, sensible, and intelligent in their con versation ; generally honest in their dealings ; punctual observers of their promises ; charitable to the poor; and avowedly opposed to quarrelling and litigiousness— statesmen rarely speak of them save in terms of the highest praise. In secret, however, they are regarded by many with an evil eye. The Church is not over fond of them, because they teach the practical lesson that men and women may be exceedingly moral and re ligious without priests. Among lawyers there is anu merous class of the profession who dislike men who never give rise to an action for homicide, and who as witnesses will affirm no more than in their consciences they be lieve to be true. Lord ABINGER is one of those legal luminaries who dislike the Quakers. The Noble and Learned Lord was never much celebrated for liberality of thought, and there are few men whose sympathies are expanded by increase of years. Certainly Lord ABINGEIt is not one of them. In the course of the de bate on Monday night, in the House of Lords, upon Lord )EN MAN'S Affirmation Bill, the Noble and Learned Chief Baron of the Exchequer spoke of the Quakers in the following terms : He had a great respect for that very excellent class of men, the Quakers ; but still he must say, that of all the witnesses he ever examined in a Court of Justice, he found none so diffi cult to fence with as Quakers—(Hear and a laugh)—so diffi cult, indeed, that he often was led to think that it was part of their religion never to give a direct answer.—( Hear, and a laugh.) He did not mean to say anything to disparage the Quakers.—(" Hear, hear," from Lord Denman, and a laugh.) Well, if his Noble and Learned Friend wished him (Lord A binger) to be more explicit, he Mould say, that with the ex perience which he now possessed, he would not have supported the law which gave that sect their present exemption from taking oaths, and he certainly would not vote for the extension of that privilege any further. Lord ABINGER'S avowal, that with his long experience at the bar and upon the bench, were it to grant now he would not exempt Quakers from violating their con sciences by taking oaths, casts a heavy, but most un merited, reproach upon the Society of Friends. It implies, evidently, that his Lordship would sooner credit a Pro testant upon his oath than a Quaker upon his affirmation- What Lord ABINGER means by the difficulty he expe rienced in " fencing " with Quaker witnesses, we under stand very well. It redounds greatly to their credit, though we confess there must have been many times when it must have proved exceedingly annoying to the quondam Tory Attorney-General. It is a confession on the part of the Noble and Learned Chief Baron of the Exchequer that he never could prevail upon Quaker witnesses to swear to facts of which they had only an imperfect knowledge. They were unmanageable, be cause they were not to be brow-beaten by a purchased scowl upon the countenance of an impertinent lawyer, or an overbearing judge. Lords BROUGHAM and DENMAN defended the Quakers from the imputations cast upon them by Lord ABINGER. Lord BROUGHAM said that he had known them long, and he would 'venture to say that no sect paid more regard to truth, or had a greater horror of violating an oath than they had of violating an affirma tion. They were as solemnly convinced of the sanctity of an affirmation as others were of the sacredness of an , .10.-t seed that,he "Ma niwaxs found that the Quakers delivered their evidence with more than usual sincerity, and that he had repeatedly been struck with the care and solemnity which they manifested. Such testimony may well console the Quakers for the bigoted views entertained by Lord ABINGER. The LORD MAYOR, while presiding in the Justice Room at the Mansion House, has occasionally alluded, in terms of strong reprehension, to the conduct of foreign Consuls residing in London, for refusing to grant relief to natives of their respective countries when reduced to destitution ; and on Monday his Lordship re newed the attack, in language neither very consistent nor respectful to these gentlemen. The Consuls gene rally refuse to support or send home persons who have come to London as sailors in English vessels, and are perfectly justified in so doing. If an English Captain engages men to '.work his ship to this country he has no right to discharge them here, in a helpless state, nor is the LORD MAYOR war ranted in casting blame on the Consuls for obeying the instructions no doubt received from their own Governments. It is only fair that the Captain should be made responsible, and the LORD MAYOR, while he is evidently of this opinion, very inconsistently goes out of his way to cast a reproach on the Consuls of Austria and Spain. As a proof that he does not really consider their conduct reprehensible, he praises the humane pro visions of the Customs Regulations Act, which provides that the master of every vessel coming from the coast of Africa shall enter into a bond to keep harmless any parish or place maintaining its poor against any expense it may be put to in supporting such persons during their stay in the United Kingdom, under a penalty of 2001. His Lordship then adds, "If the Legislature compassionately extended that Act, I would undertake, by the infliction of exemplary penalties, to carry it into effect." So that, according to his own showing, the fault lies with the Captains and our own Legisla ture, and not with the foreign gentlemen. They do not refuse relief to all their destitute countrymen, but only to those in the condition described. We think his Lordship, on reflection, will admit that he does not show absolute discretion in thus taking advantage of his high office, as first City Magistrate, to threaten masters and owners of English vessels with " exemplary penalties" if he had the power, and at the same time to abuse these public functionaries for not encouraging shipowners to kidnap sailors of their respective States. . -Mr. WALTER was last night called to the bar of the House of Commons, and, in a short, hut plain, sensible, and rather modest speech, rindicatecl the course he had taken. Ile placed his refusal to attend the Committee on a deference to his constitutional right to be tried by noire but an impartial tribunal, and he impugned, at the bar, the impartiality of the Committee. Ile claimed the protection of the House against the Committee, and, while he professed a readiness to obey the orders of the House, and placed himself in its hands, he respectfully protested against the authority of the Committee. On his retiring from the bar, Mr. floEnucti moved that Mr. AVA:L.TuR be ordered to attend and give evidence this day. .Sir R. banns opposed the motion, principally on account-,of the arbitrary, inquiioirial, and unconstreional nature of ;he tribunal. Sir G. C REY thought it did not sufficiently vindleate the dignity of the House, and he wished that .Mr. W•ALTEn should be informed that he mu't obey the Committee. Sir R. PEEL took a precisely similar view, but acqnieseed in the motion as it was made. On a givision, it was decided by 223 to 77, that. Mr. W.u.TER should be ordered to attend the Com mittee. The result is, in one respect, a triumph for Mr. lirarirrnt. On principle he refused to attend the Corn. mime, but he would readily obey the order of the House. The House humoured him by giving him such an order, anti by that admitted that Mr. WALTER'S ob jection to the authority of the Committee was a valid one; The House even received his protest against the authority of its own Committee, and did not rebuke him for qalstioning and resisting it. Mr. War.TER will now attend the Committee by the order of the House—not by the order of the Commituv. Suppose a Captain of a ship, leaving his First Lieutenant in command, clothed with all his authority, and suppose the said First Lieutenant, in the absence of the Captain, to order the Boatswain to strike the topmasts, and suppose the Boat s Wain to refuse, and say he would obey the Captain, but not the First Lieutenant;—suppose the Captain to be re ferred to, and suppose that he were to say, " Mr. Boat swain, etrike the topmasts immediately," and not to say, you must obey the First Lieutenant ; you have been guilty of disobedience, and have incurred the pe tialties of the law"—would that not be subvert ing the authority of the First Lieutenant, and admitting that Mr. Boatswain did right in not obeying him, though he must obey the Captain ? This is a pa rallel ease to that of Mr. WALTER ; and the House of Commons, by giving him an order to attend the Com mittee, instead of informing him, as Sir G. GREY pro posed, that he must obey the summons of the Committee or take. the consequences, subverted the authority of its own Committee. In fact, Mr. ROEBUCK, we believe, meant \what Sir G. GREY proposed, but though techni cally precise, he Killed to catch the distinction we have endeavoatred to point out, and so he sweetened M e. War:rm's humiliation by a quasi triumph. Mr. \% ALTER certainly found lenient ,judges, and he is substmetially where he was when he began the con test. Ile must attend the Committee, and might have spared hianseli the trouble of kicking against its autho ir, v.as unfortunate for him, too, that he admitted he wts summoned to be tried. Try a witness ! Make a mai n. both accuser and testifier ! tiot so. The Corn na4te(t . is to in qu i re , it i s t o find evidence ; the trial will take Nave after the Report is made to the House of Commons. The Committee can neither pass sentence nor -iaf let punishment. Mr.IVALTER's over sensitiveness on the ;subject, oard his use of' the word " tried," are the worst fa:nures of his ease. On this point no little con fusion rugs through the debates of the House. The Committee, without the power to decide, is called a tri bunal; and awn who are called before it to give evidence say they are going to be tried. The whole thin is a mere inquiry by a Committ ee o f the House ; if it were analagous to a Court to try criminal cases, its secret proceedings er said not be too much reprobated. The deputations from the manufacturing districts have , we understand, requested all the Members of the House of Commons who voted for Mr. VITLIERS' motion on the total repeal of the Corn-laws, to attend a meeting at Brown's Hotel, on Thursday, the 30th instant. The present alarming state of our trade, when our own absurd restrictions are stimu lating other nations to impose similar restrictions on them and our trade—the continual increase of distress, and the absence of all hope of improvement, will make this a very important meeting ; and none of the invited Members, we believe, will be so forgetful of honour and duty as to neglect the call. The French Government has laid an extra duty of 20 per cent. upon the importation of foreign linen and linen-thread. The Royal ordinance to that effect appeared in the ilionittur of Monday. This is the commencement of what the Opposition journals call the "war of tariffs." It is intended to injure the Irish linen trade, and there is no doubt but that it will have that effect. This comes of Sir R. PEEL'S proposal to impose an export duty of 4s. a ton upon coals. We warned the Right Hon. Baronet of the mischief which that proposal, so soon afterwards partially abandoned, would do us, especially with the people of France. Enraged that no measure was to be adopted for lower ing the import duty upon their wines and brandies, they regard the export coal duty as a blow designed to crush their rising manufactures. The cry of retaliation was raised, and hence the additional 20 r er cent. duty upon the import of British linen and linen-thread. Belgium, to whom Sir ROBERT PEEL'S tariff secures the monopoly of supplying France with cows, has entered into a treaty with France for pre venting the smuggling of British linens and thread across her frontier. The Tariff; w Customs Bill, was last night passed trough its last Stage in the Rouse of Commons, i n the There is no political news of any interest in the French Journals. Their abuse of one set of candidates and praise of another would not edify the people of England, who know nothing at all about either. The Pharamond packet, which left Algiers on the 20th, ar rived at Marseilles on the 22d. According to the correspondence published by the Gazette da Midi of the 23d, a telegraphic despatch had been received at Algiers on the 17th, announcing a check suffered by the gar rison of Miliana, which had cost us 7 officers, 17 subalterns, and 100 privates, killed. We must observe that the correspondence of the Sud m a k es no mention of this important affair.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1842, en the 17th, to propose the submission of that tribe. It is an nounced, at the same time, that the famous El Besher, Caid of Djindel, has also just submitted, and has induced nine tribes besides his own to follow the example. There is now not a single tribe from Algiers to Churchill.— Commerce. The Moniteur Alperin, of the 20th of June, publishes the following intelligence : " Sidi Ali Ouled Sidi Lekhal, cousin-german of Sidi Mo hammed Ouled Sidi Anal, the most important person after him of the family of Sidi Embarek, arrived at Algiers on Friday last, the 17th inst. He comes to make his submission to the Governor-General. He was accompanied by the Chiefs of se veral tribes which have recently submitted, who having come ti Algiers to receive the investiture of their new functions, gladly seized the opportunity of escorting the Marabout Sidi Ali, for whom they entertain great respect. " The submission of this Arab Chief has caused a great sensation in the interior of the country at Blidah, and among the native poptiation at Algiers. Sidi Ali has great influence among many important tribes, which is owing to his religious character. On account of the family to which he belongs, Abd-el-Kader gave him the post of Caid of the Hadjoutee.— Constitutionnel. THE IPSWICH TORY DINNER.—MINISTERIAL CON SISTENCY.--At a public dinner given on Saturday last, at Ipswich, to celebrate the return of Earl Desert and Mr. T. Gladstone, at the last election, the Noble Lord took. the opportunity of chaunting the praises of Mi nisters, observing that they were chiefly remarkable for " plain honesty and determined consistency." They mig:it have other meritorious attributes, but these were their most conspicuous characteristics. Earl Desart is partly right, and partly wrong. He is wrong as respects the honesty of Ministers—of which the less said the better ; but he is unquestionably right, as regards their consistency, which they possess in an eminent degree. Look at Sir James Graham, fur instance ! Where is there a statesman who has ever been more uniformly consistent in his attention to his own interests ? Through all his numerous tergiversations, we can trace the guiding influence of Number One. It was his affection for this important Numeral that first made him a Whig ; the same quick, vigilant sensibility prompted his desertion of the Whigs ; and last year induced him to fly at office under the Tories, with the same ravenous appetite with which a famished cur tiles at a bone. Were Satan himself to be Prime Minister to-morrow, it is our firm and unalterable con viction that the heavy Knight of Netherby, with that consistent devotion to Self which has always been the ruling principle of his life, would be the very first to take office under him. Then there is Sir Edward Knatchbull ! Who more consistent than this fine sample of Kentish patriotism ? Last year it suited his interest to oppose the New Poor-laws, and he opposed them ac cordingly ; this year it suits his interest to support them, and he supports them accordingly. Can political consistency go further than this ? It' it can, it will most assuredly be found in the character and conduct of our illustrious Premier, who, whether acting with the Tories, or against the Tories—whether acting with the Whigs, or against the Whigs—whether enslaving Catho lics, or emancipating Catholics—whether opposing Re form, or patronising Reform--has always been consis tent in his pertinacious adherence to his own ambitious views. We agree, therefore, with Earl Desart, that Mi nisters—if not exactly conspicuous by their honesty— are unquestionably " shining lights" as respects con sistency. The marriage of Viscount Emlyn, eldest son of the Earl of Cawdor, with the Hon. Miss Cavendish, recently one of the Maids of Honour to the Queen, was solemnised yesterday. The bride is the daughter of the Hon. Colonel Cavend sh.l SU '-ARY OF EWSI AND VIIOW Optitton. " Who runs may read." The Moniteur of Monday has teen received by ex t aartlinary express from Paris. It contains the threatened Ordinance, imposing, in addition to the present duty of 16 per cent. upon linen and linen-thread, a further duty of 20 per cent. The import duty, therefore, upon linen and linen-thread is now 36 per cent. This will inflict serious injury upon the Irish linen trade. The French telegraph states that General Rodil presented the programme of his Cabinet to the Cortes on the 20th. He said that he would be true to the Revolution of September, that which terminated in the present Regency ; that he would repress the Catalonian brigands; and that the reports respect ing Ramon Calatrava's leaning to a national bankruptcy, were as absurd as false. Private letters from Madrid state that the review on the 19th, in honour of the anniversary of the Constitution Of 1837, passed off somewhat coldly. The prolongation of the Ministerial crisis is said to have much impaired the Ri gent's popularity, and very few " Vistas" were heard on the occasion. 'I he British Embassy was illuminated, but not such demonstration was ex hibited at the hotel of the French Legation. Osman Pacha, the famous Governor of Trebisonde, died a few days ago, and his brother Abdullah Bey acts as Kaimah am until the appointment of a new Mushir, who has not yet been named. As he is of the ancient family of llazinettaroglu, which has long been influential in that part of the country, it is expected that Abdullah Bey himself will be made Vizier, and get the place. Ahmed Zekerieh Pacha, who was Sera..kier in Syria at the winding up of the late oar, died at Constantinople last week, and his property is now being sold off by auction. A letter from Constantinople of the 7th inst. has the follow. ing :—" We have to-day bad a failure, which has thrown Ga lata: into a state of confusion, and is in other respects a subject of great regret, viz., that of the old and highly esteemed Eng lish house, Niven, Kerr, Black, and Co. Their affairs have been much restricted of late. 1 should think the amount of their debts, stated roundly at 60,0001., must be exaggerated. Business has of late been so had that no one can be surprised at such an event; nor can anybody readily make money by pay ing the duties others find the means of avoiding in a great mea sure. Unless a change he effected here, fair trade must cease, and the mercantile body will become a nest of smugglers. The house in question was renowned for its honourable conduct in every respect, and on certain articles it dealt in no one paid the duties but itself. They were bankers to the Embassy, and highly connected in every way : but who are the sufferers' is a fact not yet known." FOREIGN. THE INCOIME•TA X A CT.—Si Mpk in and Marshall have, with praiseworthy dispatch, published this Act, with an explanatory introduction, and numerous useful notes, by Mr. Mordaunt Wells, Barrister-at-Law. It is accom panied with a copious index, furnishing an excellent key to the Act, and so constructed as to form a complete analysis and digest of the enactments, as well as a means or reference to the various subjects contained in the work. It is sold at a moderate price, and will be found extremely useful to all those who come within the range of this new infliction. The following note, among others, will afford consolation to persons who receive annuities or dividends payable out of the public revenue, not amounting to 1501. yearly :—" All the duties upon such annuities, &c., will therefore be deducted from the pay ment made on account thereof, in the first instance ; but when the whole yearly income of the party entitled to such annuity, Ric. does not amount to 15C1., the amount of the duty so deducted will be repaid to him, on his pursuing the directions in the. Act, described in page 13 of this introduction."

The opinion generally expressed in the City with regard to the French ordinance, for increas ng the duty on our linens, ap pears to be in perfect accordance with the statements in The Sun of this afternoon. The injury which will be thereby in flicted on the trade will, it is considered, he slight, compared with that which their commerce will suffer. And while the impolicy of the measure on the part of the French is fully ad mitted, the proceedings of our own Government have not es caped censure. Without trenching upon the question of how far our collieries can bear the imposition of an export duty on coal, it is thought that it shows some fear of their continental manufacturers, and that it is about to be levied, is much to dis tress them, as for the sake of revenue. It is to be regretted that our competitors should have been furnished with so excel lent an answer to any complaint which may be made against their new regulation. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The intelligence from Paris has had an effect upon the price s of the English funds, and Consols, at one part of the mo rn i ng , were as low as 91k sellers. Although the imposition of the extra duty, of 20 per cent. on linen is not generally considered as likely to be of any serious consequences to our manufacturers, yet it would seem to afford matter for serious apprehension. At the time when our own Government are offering concessions to other countries for the extension of freedom in commerce, the French Ministry are obliged from their weakness to suc cumb to popular outcry, and impose restrictions upon articles indispensably necessary to themselves. The ill feeling which exists in France towards England has long been a mat ter of notoriety, and this proceeding is looked upon merely . as a precursor of others aimed against our trade ; but it is in this manner only that it will be evinced, the idea of a hostile collision being wholly repudiated. If such be the case our neighbours themselves will be the suf ferers, the imports from France being of far more consequence to them, than the exports to it from this country are to us. The Market has since the commencement of business some what recovered, and Consols are 91k, buyers, for the opening, ex din, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 914 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 100 k 1001 ; Bank Stock, 166 k 167} ; India Bonds, 23 25 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; Ditto, New, 40 43 prem. Beyond a bargain in the Dutch Five per Cents. at 101, nothing has been done in Foreign Securities, prices of which remain nominally as on Saturday. Mexican is still quoted 36k 37. No business has been going forward in Shares, except a purchase of Great Westerns at 87, and South Eastern at 24%. fhe quotations of the bonds have been exceedingly agitated. All of them are lower than on yesterday, which is solely to be attributed to the small number and general weakness of the operators ; thus, as each speculates in all descriptions of stock, if one give way, the others must necessarily follow. Since, therefore, the rate of Colombian has been sect down, upon the supposition that the holders of the bonds are in a worse condition now than they were a month since, Spanish and Portuguese have followed in the decline. This will be a clear solution for the caution which has from time to time been given against operations in these documents. At present no security exists against a species of moral robbery, and Consols may, without any legitimate cause, be raised or depressed two or three per cent. in a day, just as it may suit the speculators. • Dealings bane been in Portuguese, Colombian, and Spani,h Shares only ; the first at 35%, the second at 35%, and the last at 22%, with the dividend to be paid on the 30th inst. There are no foreign arrivals to-day. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 27.—The market was rather firmer, and sales to a great extent were effected at steady rates. The total quantity sold was about 4,500 bales, which included 600 Peruvian, 5/d. to 5%d. ; 100 Egyptian, bad. to 9d. ; 50 Pernam, 7d. to ; a d. ; 100 Maranham, 5 ; 0. to ti*d. ; 300 Surat, 3d. to 3%d. ; and 3,350 American, 3%c1. to 6d. PARLIAMENTARY. The Irish Municipal Bill was carried up from the Commons. and read a first time in the Lords. A Committee to investigate the administration of oaths was appointed. Lord Mountcashel called the attention of their Lordships to the conduct of Mr. Phelan, a Poor-law Commissioner in Ire land, whJ had neglected to comply with an order of their Lord shipe, to provide certain returns relative to the medical charities of Ireland. The subject gave rise to much conversation, but the motion to lay all the letters addressed to Mr. Phelan on the table, was rejected. The Lord Chancellor laid on the table a short Bill to post pone the operation of the jurisdiction of the Justices Bill for a season, as it would otherwise come into operation in the middle of the Quarter Sessions. It was read a first time. 'their Lout ships then adjourned. The Chairman of the Southampton Committee reported in the Commons, that John Fleming Luce had not attended the Committee when ordered, and Mr. Luce was ordered to attend the House on Thursday. There was a reference made to hung*r and to outrages in Ire land, but these have been for so long a period the unhappy lot of the Irish, that the reference did not command much attention. In reply to Mr. Hume, Mr. Gladstone assured him that the proclamation for the issue of half-farthings was not a hoax, and that this small coin was very useful in the colonies. Mr. Walter was called to the bar, and, after he had been heard, an order was made, on the motion of Mr. Roebuck, and atter a division, that Mr. Walter do attend the Election Proceed ings Committee this day. Mr. Walter was subsequently called in, and made acquainted with the order of the House, and so ended, for the present, Mr. Walter's resistance to the orders of the Committee. Mr. Roebuck subsequently reported that Mr. Bailie Coch rane, a Member of the House, when respectfully requested to attend the Committee, had positively refused. Mr. Cochrane is to attend in his place to-day to explain the refusal. The Income-tax Bill was read a third time. Several amend ments were proposed in it which occupied the House the greater part of the evening, but towards midnight they were all filially disposed of, and the Bill was passed amidst shear;, and ordered also, amidst cheers, to be carried up to the Lords this day. For the remainder of the evening the House was discussing the provisions of the British Possessions Abroad Bill on the third reading, which went through that stage. The House adjourned at One o'Clock.

THEATRICAL. _ Madlle. Rachel performed at the Queen's Theatre on Monday the principal fems'e character in Voltaire's tragedy of Tancrede. Signor Puzzi takes his benefit on Thursday next at her Majesty's Theatre, 1-CVN puni.xc OPINION. We take the following from the Chronicle:—" Scarcely a debate passes in which Sir Robert Peel does not receive some castigation or reproach from his friends, for having betrayed or deceived their expectations. Sir Richard Vyvian has just denounced him to the whole Tory party for having deceived them upon all points; and on Friday night, during the debate on the Poor-laws, the lash was laid on him by the dirty but sturdy hands of Mr. Ferrand, who accused him point blank of having made use of the Anti-Poor-law cry to come into power, and then of throwing it aside, with his other declarations, whets it had served his purpose. Sir Robert winced, and then retaliated, by throwing back in Mr. Ferrand's face the filth of his misconduct in the Keighiley Union, where this noisy friend of the poor has, under his own eye, and in his office as Chairman of the Board of Guardians, allowed the poor to be treatea as no gentle man would suffer his bailiff to treat his pigs. :sir Robert Peel not only accused him, but proved by the Report of Sir John Walsham, that he had suffered the poor in this Union to be crammed into holes, rather than rooms, so thickly, +hat they were barely a foot asunder; that they were huddled hick cri minately together—n.en, womee - , - and children, married and un married, two and three in a bed, the sick, the healthy, the just delivered women, the dying and the dead ; and that for their education there was provided the establishment of an old woman on a dung-hill in the yard. But these are the philan thropies of Mr. Ferratid, whom the '1 ones beg..n their Ses sion by crying up, but whom Sir Robert Peel now llantly tells he would do better by performing his duty as a Peor-law Guardian, in protecting the miserably oppressed poor of his 'own particular union,than by making declamations (which Judas of old did) in favour of the poor in gmersl." The Herald says, speaking of the traitor Francis, now lying under sentence of death—" Each succeeding post delivery brings us a pile of letters on the subject of the execution of the traitor Francis, now under sentence of death ; in none is the' extreme penalty of the law advocated. There seems, in deed, to be an almost universal expectation entertained that the life of the treasonable ruffian will be spared ; and that for the remainder of his days he will be subject to some such exem plary punishment as will effectually deter others from the com mittal of the brutal offence of which he his been convicted. It is because we fully participate in this anticipation that we have hitherto preserved silence on the subject; and in perfect con fidence that no legal strangling of the convict will take place to demoralise the public mind, we refrain from reiterating those general arguments against the punishment of death, the soundness of which we have still no reason to doubt, however disinclined the Legislature may be to edopt them as the basis of the entire abolition of hanging." The Times has the following remarks on the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston :—" We have learned from the sluggish character of the war in China, that the operations in which we are there engaged are no curious or easy exploit of arms, but a struggle of extraordinary difficulty, from the total dis similarity of the combatants, and the distance which divides them from each other. The horrible catastrophe of the army in Affghanistan has given the stamp of reality to the fore bodings of those who were best fitted to judge of the probable issue of that campaign. The course of events in the Levant and in Europe is gradually corroborating the opinions we have frequently expressed as to the policy and effects of the treaty of July, 1840. But the question we would ask is, whether it is necessary to wait for a wholesale massacre or a general war to enable the Parliament of this country to call the authors of these events to an account? The present Government are indeed compelled, from a proper regard to the public weal, to throw a veil over the errors which it is their arduous task to correct ; but we trust they will not allow themselves, from a mistaken tenderness to their political anta gonists, to withhold those investigations into the policy of their predecessors which the character of the public service peremp torily requires. It may be asserted, without the slightest exaggeration, that the policy of Lord Palmerston, espe cially during the last three years, at a period which he and his colleagues still designate as a time of peace, has cost the coun try twenty millions of money, and caused the destruction of at least 50,000 human beings. The finances of India reduced to great extremity, the finances of England encumbered, a vast armament maintained in the Mediterranean, and a still greater armament required in Asia, show at what cost the power and resources of this country have been misapplied. Bat the evils which have arisen in the course of these operations are incon siderable when compared with the future evils attending their fulfilment. For the sake of the treaty of July, 1840, we have all iwed a state of bad feeling to spring up be. ween this cone try and France, which must, there is too much reason to fear, lead in the end to a frightful explosion. Having combined with the three other Powers to relieve Syria from the oppres sion of Mehemet Ali, we have, in fact, been accessory to the removal of the Christian Princes of Lebanon, who had hitherto governed the mountain, and we have virtually con signed the Christian subjects of the Porte in Syria t• a state of anarchy which can only be terminated by the triumph of the most merciless Mussulman despotism. It is clear that no European Power will assist the Divan in maintaining by force the odious system and the obnoxious Ministers who have been re-instated in Syria. Turkey herself, even with the help of Albanian sol.iiers, is too weak to resist the tribes whom we so lately armed. Mehemet Ali can alone furnish the Sultan with the necessary force ; but he refuses to re-enter the field, unless he he paid for restoring that state of things to which the Treaty of 1840 was intended to put an end. It may, therefore, be anticipated that before many months have elapsed the Egyptian forces will be brought back to the posi tions from which they were driven in 1540. The status quo may be restored in Syria, though not without fresh horrors and a fresh conquest of those nuhappy provinces; but who will restore the state of things in Europe ? Who will lay the bad spirit and the bloody passions which were raised by that treaty of July ? Who will make compensation to the world—we speak not of wasted treasure and wa s t ed lives , but for the re appearance of such dissensions, for the interruption of hopeful relations of amity, 'for the indefinite but gloomy aspect of the future ? ECCLESIASTICAL On Saturday a meeting of noblemen and gentlemen con nected with the Principality, was held at the Thatched House Tavern, for the purpose of considering hnw an Episcopal Welsh Church might be best established in the English metro polis. Subscriptions to the amount of nearly 2,2fi1. have been accumulated, and it has been proposed to take a temporary building for present purposes. The Bishops of Edinburgh and Glasgow, more particularly the latter, ar e now en couraging their clergy , in the tame man ner as that adopted by the Bishop of Oxford , to strive for the restoration 'of the purity of the primitive church times; for some time there has been a disposition on the part of the Scot tish Episcopalians to conform rigidly to the rubrical directions of the Book of Common Prayer, and the strict canons of the Church. LAW AND POLICE. In the Arches Court on Monday, the suit of Purgess v. Bur gess was brought to a conclusion. It was a suit for divorce by the wile against the husband for adultery, and not being op posed, the Court signed the sentence of divorce. In the suit Street v. Street, a similar case, the same course was pursued, and the Court pronounced for the divorce. Sir H. J. Fust then pronounced the judgment of the Court on the Rev. W. H. Lan g ley, Perpetual Curate of WheatlY, Oxfordshire, ch arge d w ith brawling in the church on Sunday, the 9th of May, 1641. The Court directed that Mr. Langley be suspended for eight calendar months, from the day when the suspension was proclaimed in the parish, and condemned him in all the costs of the proceedings. Benjamin Eastham, a" dog-fancier was on Monday charged SPOrLTING. The Marquis of Conyngham, accompanied by his eldest son, the Earl of Mountcharks, is at pi esent taking a pleasure-cruise round Ireland, in his yacht, " The Flower of Yarrow."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The subject of the calling in of the light sovereigns continues to excite considerable interest; and much difference of opinion still exists respecting the proper allowance which ought to be made for any given deficiency in weight. This matter is of great importance ; and the following observations may perhaps serve to throw some light on the discussion : The principal source of the error into which many persons have fallen when calculating the allowance to be made on light sovereigns, appears to have been tke taking the weight of 5 dwt. 2th grains, under which they are not allowed by the proclama tion to pass current, as being the full weight of the coin ; and then supposing that if a sovereign weighs fully 5 dwt. 2 grains, that there is only a loss of half a grain, the value of which is td., and so on in proportion for other deficiences, a very short explanation will suffice for pointing out this error. By the English Mint regulations, one ounce Troy of stand• and gold (that is, of 22 carats pure gold and 2 carats of all,y) is to be coined so as to represent a value in money of 3/. 17s. lOid. sterling ; and agreeably to this principle, the Coinage Act of 1817 enacts that 46 29.40 sovereigns are to be coined out of 1 hound Troy. This, when reduced to integral numbers, is the same as saying that 1,869 sovereigns are to to be coined from 40 pounds Troy. The calculated Mint weight of one sove reign should, therefore, be 5 dwt. 3.2745 grains, or rather more than 1231 grains. The half-sovereign, in proportion, should weigh 2 dwt. 13A grains. The value cf 1 grain of standard gold is therefore equal to 1.94688 pence, which, for practical purposes, must be called 2 pence sterling, when used for buying and selling small quantities of gold. But as slight errors in the coinage are unavoidable, the Mas ter of the Mint is allowed a variation in the weight of 12 grains in each pound Troy ; that is, if the 46 29-40 sovereigns weigh within 12 grains of the pound Troy, the coin is suffered to pass into circulation as full weight. This allowance is equal to 0.2568 grains on each sovereign, being rather snore than a quarter of a grain, the value of which is 0.49996 d., or as neitrly as posiible one halfpenny sterling. The full weight of a sovereign being as before Grains. stated Deduct Mint allowance..... .2568 123.0177 The weight, therefore, at which it may be suffered to issue from the Mint is as nearly as possible 123 grains; equal to 5 dwt. 3 grains. The loss by wear and tear of the coin, and which by law is to be borne by the public, must, therefore be the difference between the actual weight of a worn sovereign and the weight when issued from the Mint, and not the difference between the present weight and the weight if 5 dwt. 2tgrains, which is the lowest sufferance weight allowed by the procla mation. But here a difficulty occurs. In selling back the old coin to the Government as mere bullion, ought the public to be charged with the difference arising from compariug the pre sent weight with the full estimated coinage weight of 5 dwt. 3i grains, or with the allowed weight of 5 dwt. 3 grains, at which it may be suffered to issue from the Mint? The difference between the two methods is only of a grain, or one halfpenny sterling on a single sovereign; but becomes of some importance when the old coinage is considered. It cortainly would appear to be the more equitable course to claim of the public only that weight of standard gold which by law they may have received a few yea a back from the Go vernment, viz.. the allowance weight of 5 dvi t. 3 grains, as it is to be presuined that whatever en or may arise in the coinage will most probably be on what the Government would call the right side—that is, an error of deficiency within the limits o the law. 'Fl.e follow , ing would then be tl - .e toile of loss on light 14 • vereigus Ailowed weight when issued from the Mint, sdwt. 3gr. Minimum weight fur circulation, as fixed by the proclarna. tion, sOwt. '4gr.

For halt sovereigns, the allowed weight is 2dwt. minimum weight for circulation, 2dwt. l 3 gr. Short not exceeding igr., say weight above 2dwt. 121 gr., loss igr.,—_lid. Short, not exceeding lgr., say weight above 2dwt. 12kgr., loss INg r.=2/d. Short, not exceeding ligr., say weight above 2dwt. loss I igr., = 3id. If the full calculated weight of 2dwt. Ingr. is used for the half-sovereign, then the loss becomes in all cases one-eighth of a grain more, value one farthitg sterling, which must be added to each of the above rates. It must here be observed, that the Government have not called in the defective coinage, nor do they offer to take it hack from the holder ; they have merely reminded the public, that by law no sovereigns can be a legal tender if under the weight of 5 dwt. 21,- gr. each ; and they leave them to make the most of all coin below that weight by selling it as mere bullion at the best price they can obtain. The Bank of England has offered to buy light coin at the legal Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 1 / 2 d. per ounce for standard gold. This is 1 1 /,d. higher than the present market price of starvarti gold, which is 31. 17s. 9d. If, therefore, a person were to take to them for sale 50 sovereigns, weighing on an average 5 dwt. 2 gr. each, they would form an aggregate weight of 12 oz. 14 dwt. 4 gr., which, at the above price of 31. 175. 101/ o d. per ounce, would be equal to 491.9;. Bd., showing a loss to the seller on 50 sovereigns of 10s. 4.1. Each of the above sovereigns being supposed to weigh on an average 5 dwt. 2 gr., the deficiency on each, as compared with the strict legal weight, is 1 1 4 grain, that is in all 62 1 / 2 grains, which, at 2d. per grain, is worth 10s. sd. The above difference of Id. arises from taking the value of I grain of gold as being worth 2d., when in fact, as shown by the previous calculations, it is worth only 1.94688 d. The English funds have remained unchanged throughout the day, and business continues extremely liinited. LLOYD'S SHIPPING LONDON, JUNE 28.—Wind this ;lay at Noon, variable and light.

While the fate of Francis is still in suspense, a reca pituation of some of the circumstances connected with the recent attempt on the life of her Majesty may not be unacceptable. There is no doubt but that the decision affecting the life of this convict m ill be ma terially influenced by the view in wtich the attempt on Sunday, the 29th ult., is regarded by the authoritie,, inasmuch as that attempt evinced not less strongly than the act of firing at her Majesty, the " foregone conclu sion" and purpose of his mind, despite of a construction favourable to the prisoner, so ingeniously raised by his counsel. In the same proportion, however, that the at tempt of Sunday weighs heavily against him, is, we con sider, the value of the information given the same even ing at the Palace, and communicated to her Majesty early on Monday ; for had no intelligence been given in consequence of the attempt witnessed by the youth Pearson, what a fearful event might have been the result, and how great the calamity hich the nation might have had to deplore. The import ance of the information so communicated, through the medium of the elder brother of the youth and Mr. Dinsbery, of Brooke-street, to Sir Peter Laurie, and through his instrumentality to the Royal Household and to the Home-office, was fully recognised by the Attor ney-i4eneral on the trial ; who, after referring strongly :o the fact, that it was " not the first time" that the pri soner had attempted to commit the crime with which he was charged, expressly stated that, owing to the infor mation previously given, " every precaution was taken to guard her Majesty's life from danger the next day." Ile evidence of Colonel Arbuthnot was yet more direct, in allusion to the precautions taken, for he says pointedly, that in consequence of the information he received, " I rode as closely to the Queen's carriage as my horse would allow me ;" and further. that " Colonel Wylde also rode as close to her Majesty's carriage as possible, but on the opposite side." The royal carriage was like wise driven considerably faster than usual, and that these were precautions well calculated to preserve her Majesty from the threatened danger cannot be denied, even by those who are inclined to attach some degree of iegligence to the authorities, after having had reason to bel:eva that an evil design was contemplated. From these facts it would undoubtedly appear that the preservation of a life so invaluable to the country is, under Providence, to he ascribed, in the fir , t instanc at leas', to the prompt information given of the circum- Aancei alluded to, which inf.:rmation, if ki t back, Alottgli but for a single day, ould have been utterly useless in averting the deplorable result which it is but too probable might have occurred. Assuredly the safety of her Majesty has been in no degree owing to the extra ,rdinary zeal exhibited by tie policeman (Trounce) sta fioned in the Park on the naulay afternoon, au ••ordiog• to Lis own statement, though hi: atttntion ha !eetl directed particularly to Francis, told beinz,t.norcovel v, ithin a yard of him at the moment, of the attack, c0;d , .1 1:ot succ,e.l in preventilig his firing at hcr a,-lead of watching the movements ,f the man, that he ha Ito turn round" on lie.tring rPr.it ot . selzod him, indeed, alter the act, and wia3), all the mii7 , l,iet' in hi, power to commit had lie% I, --leveled ; Ent it. roust be admitted that to whuinso. , , r, and in what , ver degree, praise may he di,e, iu eqim;ttini.-; her Itlajest: ,taf,'qy, the efforts of thos iormediaiely vonverned in ti: , appe: crf . e tad tittle to :to :th it. With referena to the trial, is may be remarked the:, the :ths..nee of demoted proof as to the load lng of the pisto', which sorb able use was imult , ' by coule_et for v 1:, prisoner, the eil.leoce of the witnes: i'earson, Ow lad al.ove-mentionel, cannot be over ,timated in importance, as it served most strongly to i , cgative the pretence set up, on behalf of Francis, of the !Lsence W' malignant intention against the , life of the Queen. With the strange verdict in the case of Oxford l , efore us, it is very possible, and even probable, that the Jurv, not having any , proof of the pistol being loaded with ball, might, but fur the evidence of this witness, have not unwillingly availed themselves of as oppor tunity of exonerating the prisoner from the weightier part t' the charge, and left him to suffer the punishment in curred by simply firing at the royal carriage, loaded with powder only, and without any murderous intent. After what was sworn to, however, as to the equally atrocious attempt on the Sunday, no rational doubt was left on the maids of the Jury as to his real object, and consequent liability to the punishment and doom .w hich, As a traitor, lie has justly meriteLl, and from which only she mercy of his Sovereign, whose life he has so wickedly attempted, can relieve him.
