It would be alike -unjtnit to him, and unfair towards our readers, were we to Allow that event to pass by without delivering- our opinion of his'merits. . We know that we speak the language of his most de cided political opponents, when we say that his. cour tesy, throughout the session, to all persons, even to the meanest Members of that IT-louse, has been un failing. His temper, however se ;terely tried, seems never to have forsal :en him. He has been unwearied in his attention to business, and has mastered it with a fullness and comp/vteness of detail, which has never before been equalled.„ His opponents are great men in -the estimation of tta ankind, but, in the House of Commons, he has sho vin himself immeasurably, their superior He has beet z not the nominal, but the real leader of that assemlaly,,, and has conducted all its de liberations to the ends I to has had in view. All his measures Live passed. His success has been equal to his con summate skill. The Corn ker?,ping-out-law is his.—the Income-tax is his— tb.e Tariff is his—e very legislative object. he has proposed has been obtained. In spite, how ever, of his unwearied industry, and his equal utrbanity—in spite of the plaudits he has• won f tom ;both sides of the House--in spite of his g Teat skill, and his great success, he prorogues the Parliament in the midst of growing discontent mild deepening gloom. .Nature Teems almost to have come to his aid, but in spite of a very early and almindant harvest, the fut ids are falling, and alarm is spreading through the land. We read only of the movements of a distresk,ed population, and of the military harrassed to look after them. Our towns, planted ,with parks of artillery, appear in a state of siege; and our citizens, instead of prosecuting their industry in peace, are called on, though they pay an immense army of defenders, to perform the duties of plicemen, and are obliged to organise and arm theniselves for the. protection 'of their persons and property. 'Sir ROBERT PEEL has been successful beyond example in Parliament, and he has corn pletely failed in the country. What is the explanation' of this ? He has com prehended 'the whole mechanism of the House of Commons, but not of soeiety. We dispute not his - honesty-of purpose, we throw no doubt on his inte grity; we,believe lie meant to promote the public wel fare--but Unquestionably he has failed. After this skilful -man has held power for nearly a year, and has been unthwarted in its exercise, the affairs of the people, which are the public affairs, are worse than when he took them in hand. Wages are lower, discontent is increased, and something.. that looks very like wide spread sedition prevails. ',ln England poverty, and in Iteland offences against th e law, have increased. The latent hatred between the middle and lower classes :which existed when he took office, has widened into an open rupture, and the movements of troops indicate, on the part' of the Government, much apprehension for the contim'tance of public tranquil lity. These fatal consequence Is of his policy arise from his being much more ignorant, of the laws which regu late society, than of the mean s by which the House of Commons is swayed and governed. • He has no misgivings, app: gently, of his own all sufficiency; He dismisses th e Parliament as corn-' piacently as if trade was flotusshing and the people were prosperous and contented. He dictates to the QUEEN language of praise for .1 he labouring assiduity which has led to no better results than those we have d escr ib e d. He refers, throng 'h the mouth of the QUEEN, to his own measures, as if the revenue from the Income-tax was already • collected, without a murmur of discontent, and as if 'the tariff h a d a l rea d y given the people full employ) nent. He tells the Houses of Parliament that they have been employed with measures to provide for the welfare of all classes by extending trade and stimulating the demand for labour ; lie makes the Parliament, therefi we, _responsible for the condition of trade and employment, ,and at the .same time he knows that the demand for labour is so limited as to provoke a general turn-or it of the work-people, and trade so bad that those vat o carry it on cannot afford to pay adequate wages. He looks' to the ex ample of those who have inaclo 3 the law to enforce obedience to it,. forgetting appfr :ently that the source of our evils is class legislation. For the law-makers the law may be good ; the eoml Taint of the people is, that for them it is evil. • Thd example of the law makers in obeying a law whiC h is for their benefit, -will not recommend obedienc to those who declare -.that the law is for their ' • num v. Sir R. PEEL, how er, has no other panacea fo r our woes. Instead of na 4.ing just laws, he enforces sabedience to laws that are unjust. The Members of k'arliacnent are to help tF c soldiery, and the soldiery are to he 11" the Member s of ' Parliament, in preserving' o rder and obedience. T. he Miundations of the public on ler are no longer laid in the affections of the people; th ey rest on the sword of the soldiery and the zeal of the Justice. 3 "flie truth is, the Legislature j s in fault. It has passed laws to promote particular interests, and has made strife between those who ought to live in brotherhood. The dispute between the landowners and the manufacturers, and between the capitalists and labourers, is the result of laws intended to con fer advantages on the different classes. Even a mother may misuse her power, so that her children shall neither love nor respect her. The hand that feeds a mastiff may yet so tyrannize over the bead that it shall hate its master. How much more, theic — itay — ir Legislature, for which a kople have no children's Live, and which feeds them not as a man feeds his hound, become, by mis using its powers, and tyrannising over the people, contemned and hated ? Such is at present the posi tion of that Parliament Sir R. PEEL has just pro rogued; and yet he.ha.s no other reliance for preserv ing the peace of the empire than the military power, and the example of Members of Parliament in en forcing obedience to the laws they have made. AMERICAN NEWS. • (EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.) .LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY :MORNING. By the Roscius, Capt. Collins, which arrived off this port late last night, but did not enter the river till this morning, we have New York papers to the 25th inclusive, her day of sailing. She has made a good voyage of 17 days, and has 23 cabin passengers. We find with great pleasure, that the full and satisfactory settlement of the North Eastern Boun dary Question is announced in these papers. The following is from the New York Herald : THE MAINE BOUNDARY QUESTION LIKELY TO BE SETTLED. We have now direct and important intelligence from Washington, that this long disputed, difficult, and dis agreeable question, is now very nearly, if not finally settled. The result of the negotiations is this :---The United States commence the-line at the head lake of the St. Croix river, run it directly north to Mars Hill, thenceldue north, till it strikes the St. John's river, at a point a few miles above the Great Falls. We then run the line along the course of the St. John's river, until it meets the St. Francis river. The line then runs up the St. Francis until it reaches the southern outlet of the upper lake on the St. Francis. This is the most northerly point of the line. The line then runs south-west and by south for 100 *miles in a straight line, at a distance of 25 feet from the base of the mountains skirting the St. Lawrence river, until it strikes the N. W. branch of the river St. John. It then runs due south for about 30 miles, until it strikes the S. W. branch of the St. John's river ; after this it follows the course of that branch up to its source in the mountains, close to the source of the Penobscot and Metgarmette rivers, and terminates at the precise point where the south-westerly termination of the three lines previously drawn by the United States, Great Bri tain, and the King of the Netherlands, were made to terminate. The line, in short, varies scarcely a mile either way from that laid down on our map as the line defined by the King of the Netherlands. The tract which we have given on.the north-eastern border 'of Maine is valuable to Great Britain, as strengthening her military position, but is not of much importance to us. The extent of the territory can be easily seen from the map. The General Government are to reimburse Maine for her expenses in defending the disputed territory, and Massachusetts is to receive 150,000 dollars from the United States for her portion of the land which is to be given up. We get Rouse's Point on Lake Champlain, and the navigation of St. John's River above the Falls ; but, as we have no access to - them below the Falls, the free naviga tion of that river under these circumstances, is worth but little. Lord Ashburton, Mr. Webster, and the Massachusetts Commissioners have all agreed to this arrangement. The Maine Commissioners have only partially yielded ; they wish to avoid responsibility, and are willing to let Ns treaty be decided by the U. S. Senate. locofocos are opposed to this treaty, whether from party „, - , - ..l2.atriotic motives, we shall see in a few days. - -,. • Business is much the same as at the last departure, and the rate ,'f exchange without alteration.

(Aisli 16 sn, q 4, ..s6ods 74 :MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The)Money Market has exhibited an unpleasant feel ing during the whole day, consequent upon the accounts from the manufacturing districts. Merchants at Man chester represent themselves to have been unable to reach the Exchange, during the ordinary hours of business, to transact their usual matters, in consequence of the ob structions ; but by the second delivery, the letters ap pear to convey the impression that the disturbance is more to be considered in the light of a dispute between masters and men, than arising from any more serious cause. It would appear, from the general tenour of these communications, that it was probable that the differences would be shoxtly arranged ; but it is not attempted to be concealed, that much matter remains behind for serious consideration. Some excitement, more than ordinary, was exhibited to have a copy of the Royal Speech. Within a very f'ew minutes after it was spoken, the Second Edition of '1 he Sun was delivered in the City, which created much attention, not only from the extraordinary dispatch which must have been used, but from the con tents. The papers relative to " the measures of the greatest importance connected with the financial and commercial interests of the country, calculated to maintain the public credit, to improve the national resources, and by extending trade, and stimulating the demand for labour, to promote the general and permanent welfare of all classes," has given much satisfaction, inasmuch as it is admitted that "indications of gradual recovery from that depression which has afflicted many branches of manu facturing industry, and has exposed large classes of the people to privations and sufferings" had given the deepest concern. The feeling of regret is reciprocated, inasmuch as the principles which caused these extended measures have not been more fully carried out.

Such per sons, however, will now have an opportunity of gratifying .their curiosity, as the interior of the House, the noble corridor, and the offices connected with it, may now be seen any day, upon application to the housekeeper. A BOLD PREACHER.—The boldness of Samuel Davies (a qualification so important that even St. Paul requested the Christians to pray that it might be given him) will be illustrated by a single anecdote. When President of Princetown College, he visited England for the purpose of obtaining donations for the institution. The King (George II) had a curiosity to hear a preacher from "the wilds of America." He accordingly attended, and was so much struck with his commanding eloquence, that he expressed his astonishment loud enough to be heard half way over the house, in such terms as these— " He is a wonderful man!" " Why, he beats my bishops!". sce. Davies, observing that the King was attracting more attention than himself, paused, and looking his Majesty full in the face, gave hi m , i n an emp h at i c tone, the following beautiful rebuke----" When the lion roareth let the beasts of the forest tremble ; and when the Lord speaketh, let the kings of the earth keep silence." The King instantly shrunk back in his seat, like a school-boy that had been rapped over the head by his master, and remained quiet during the remainder of the sermon. The next day the monarch sent for him, and gave h i m fifty guineas for the institution over which he presided, ob serving at the same time to his courtiers, "Heis an honest man ; an honest man." Not one of his silken bishops would have dared to give him such a reproof. It is confidently reported that Lord Hill, in con sequenceOf the state of his health, has expressed a wish to.resign the office of Commander-in-Chief of the Army. We understand that the Duke of Wellington will, on Lord Hill's retirement, be invited by her Majesty to re sume the command of the army.—Evening Paper. COURT CIRCULAR.

The following is the address, 0:" 4 "..„ ...441 read in the Chamber of Deputies on- ro ect of address, 11 .! sda Y , inan swer to the speech from the Throne:— " Sire-When the Chamber of Deputies has sew Y ° 2 o surmount the grief which overwhelms you, in order come amongst us, seeking consolation as a father and ful filling your duty as King, it felt that you offered it a great example. The emotion of heart and force of soul which conduct you into the bosom of the people, bring now the representatives of the people about you. You have lost a son: France has lost a reign. " Providence compels you to bless it still, in sparing you the sons left to you. The great qualities of the deceased Prince require no other eulogium than the void between two reigns left by his death. History takes count of hopes ; it has its justice independent of fate. The Prince will have his place marked in history, by the tears of a nation. Yes ; the entire nation, asso ciated in the mourning of the King and the sentiments of the father. It inclines before the mother, which it does not endeavour to console. It adopts this Princess to whom her widowhood has left, for throne and coun try, only the tomb of a husband, and the future prp spects of her children. " If we sum up in our sentiments the grief of a people which joins the Royal Family in grief, do we not also represent that imperishable nation which bends under no catastrophe, and which regards all human things under the point of view of their perpetuity ? We must sum mon our sangfroid and our iinpassabilite to examine, as Deputies, the measures necessary for the continuity and regular exercise of the Royal authority during the mi nority of the heir to the throne. " Sire ! People have a soul, and feel their afflictions; as well as kings. But their trials, however severe, shal never find France unprovided with prudence, patriotism and firmness. France lives in her institutions. The great national sentiments form the national force. France desires to be free, strong, and eternal. Each cry which menaces, whatever shakes it, France grows still greater, and becomes stronger in itself. It is fine to see a great people bow religiously under the hand of God, and after having worn mourning and closed the tomb opened so near the throne, resume the task interrupted by Death, preserve its faith in the future, and complete its in stitutions." An elegantly dressed young woman had been ob served for some time by the police to frequent all places where there was a crowd of respectable persons. She was frequently seen at the Louvre on a Sunday, and at the stations of the railroads. On Sunday, when the crowd were taking their places in the queue to visit Notre Dame, a police agent saw her standing near a well-dressed woman, and determined to watch her proceedings. After a time he saw her glide her hand into the pocket of her neighbour, and withdraw it the moment after rapidly but with precaution, a sure sign that she bad taken something. The agent arrested her, and took her before the Com missary of Pollee, where she cried out loudly against the manner in which she was treated. She presented a pass port delivered at Egreville (Seine-et-Marne), in the name of Louise Marianne At --, but without desi gna ti ng any place of residence. She had, she said, arrived in Paris the preceding day, but refused to say where she had passed the night, declaring that family reasons prevented her speaking of it. A considerable sum of money was found in her possession. She was placed in confinement provisionally, to,give time for inquiries. The Phare of Cherbourg states that a dreadful ac cident took place at the fort of Hommet on the 25th inst., when the cannons were fired off for the funeral service of the Duke of Orleans. Two artillerymen of the 10th company of veterans were loading a 36-pounder, when the touch -hole having been badly stopped, , and a piece of wadding having remained unextinguished in cleaning th e piece, the gun went off, and carried away the right hand bf one of them, and the left of the other, who was, be sdes, seriously injured in the side and hip. The man who lost his right hand has undergone amputation of the arm. . PouLToN.—The wheat harvest has commenced in our neighbourhood, and a few pieces of wheat have been cut in Staining. There is every prospect of an un usually early harvest, and the crops are likely to be better than was hoped for by the most sanguine of our agriculturists a few weeks ago. Should the weather prove favourable, we anticipate a full average crop of all kinds of grain. The moss corn presents a most luxu riant aspect, and the produce of potatoes is likely to be immense.— Preston Chronicle. THE Pope ' s COUNCIL. The Papal Calendar, published at Rome, has just appeared for -the year. Ac cording to it, the Pope will complete his seventy-seventh year on the next anniversary of his birth-day (Sept. 18), in the eleventh year of his Papacy. There are at present sixty Cardinals, at least this is the number put down for the college. There are six Cardinal-bishops, forty-three Cardinal-priests, and eleven Cardinal-deacons. Russi, the oldest Cardinal, is eighty-seven; and Sehwartzen burgh, the youngest, is thirty-three. The ages of all, the Cardinals make 8,580 years, the average of which is above fifty-nine.

Home-office, where intelli gence was received, at an early hour from the dis turbed districts. The gentlemen who arrived were introduced, and had interviews with the principal Ministers. In the first part of the forenoon, orders were issued to summon a Cabinet Council, to meet at the Foreign-office at twelve o'clock. Soon after that hour Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Duke Of WELLINGTON, Sir JAMES GRAHIm, and other Ministers arrived ; all, however, were not present, some having left town previously. Communications have also been forwarded from the Home-office, to the authorities at the Horse Guards. The hints thrown out by Sir JAMES GRAHAM yes terday in the Ikuse of Commons respecting public meetings, are by no means of a nature to increase the confidence of the country in a Tory Government. Cautiously as the Right Hon. Baronet felt his way ; discreet and guarded as were his remarks ; and dei terously as he endeavoured to conceal their full im port ; still we can gather enough—first, from what he did say, and secondly, from what he refrained from saying—to convince us that it is his intention henceforth to look sharply after public meetings, and to weigh well the language spoken at them, — with a view of discovering whether it may not afford scope for the mild and righteous in terference of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL. He seems —considerate creature !—to entertain no earthly ob jection to public meetings, so long as they are con ducted in a spirit unobjectionable to the party with which he acts ; but if stern and unceremonious truths happen to be blurted out ; if things are pourtrayed as they really exist, and not as they appear to pur blind Tory eyes ;—then, the Right Hon. Baronet will feel it his duty to exercise a strict supervision, and give a legal hint or two that the " naked truth is exceedingly unlovely," and not to be spoken at all times with impunity. Sir JAMES GRAHAM has become wondrously sensitive of late. We are old enough to remember the time when " inflammatory language "—as he somewhat vaguely styles it—occasioned him not the slightest mental uneasiness ; but when, as a member of the Reform Government he rather encouraged its utter - I ance than otherwise. We do not find that in the memorable year 1832, when the most violent anti- Tory meetings were held all over the country; and language was made use o£ such as was never used before, and has never been used since ;—we do not find that in that year of universal agitation, the Right Hon. Baronet, as an influential Cabinet Minister, szot up in his place in the House of Commons, and formally I protested against such inflammatory language ! Still less do we find that he threw out hints about the necessity of exercising a supervising authority, with a view effectually to cheek the expression of such sen timents. No; and the reason is obvious. The lan guage, " inflammatory " as it was, was then all on his own side the question. Its vehemence furthered the in terests of his own party. It was specially directed against the Tories, whom, in those days, he did not look on with his present eyes of esteem and reverence. But now the case is widely different. Circumstances have altered, and he, like a sensible man, must .alter with them. It is his duty to look to the interests of Number One ; and the interests of that deeply cherished Number are jeopardied, when " inflamma tory language" is directed against that party from which he derives the inestimable privilege of making his bow at the Treasury, four times a year on Quarter-day. This, we believe, to be one of the main reasons of the Right Hon. Baronet's new-born horror of " inflammatory lan guage." But the truth will out, in spite of him. Class legislation will still continue to be denounced at public meetings, and monopolists to be pourtrayed in their proper colours, no matter how strict be the supervision that it may please Sir J. GRAHAM to Check the ebullition of popular feeling in exerL. and it will instantly break out in Manchester, . . England, and it will bid Lop off one of the Glasgow. Crusi t n ls-4 1 defiance to you in Sc nd % heads of the Hydra, anu a hundred others will sprout up to alarm and -rfound you.poor Are the people to suffer, and not be allowed privilege of complaint ? Are they to groan under abuses, and not express their opinions of such abuses ? Are they to starve, and be silent ? And all because a Home Secretary—who was once a Whig, and some thing more, and now styles himself a Tory, and some thing less—has a nervous horror of " inflammatory language ?" We have written warmly on this sub ject, because we feel persuaded that more is meant than meets the eye, in Sir JAMES GRAHAM:S insidi ously worded declaration last night. Anticipating apparently, many animated public meetings during the recess, where the sentiments expressed will be by no means favourable to the Tory system of class legislation, we are not without apprehension that he and his party will use their utmost endeavours to re press, as far as in them lies, all manly expression of public sentiment, under the plausible pretext of pre serving public tranquillity. We cannot but express our regret that her MAJESTY'S advisers did not consider it their duty to make some reference to the progress of the war in China in the speech from the Throne with which she closed the late session of Parliament. True there would have been something very inconsistent in in forming the Legislature that her MAJESTY continued to receive " from all Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country, and in the next paragraph admit that we were at war with 360 millions of people, constituting one of the most powerful monarchies in Asia. Our trade with China has long been one of the most im portant branches of our foreign commerce ; and the last Overland Mail brought the sad in telligence that, owing to the desultory way in which the war has been carried on, and the silence observed as to what is really to be achieved by it, not only all the regular trade, but nearly the whole of the smuggling along the coast from the Macao roads to Ningpo has been destroyed. Surely it is not intended that our war with China is to be conducted on the model of the war of succession in Spain ? It is not meant that we shall keep skirmish ing with the Chinese till we teach them to beat us, by , the adoption of our system of warfare ? Nor can re gard for the safety of the public service be pleaded for Ministerial silence with respect to China. The Imperial " son of 'leaven and brother of the sun and moon" has no Ambassador at our Court to convey the Royal Speech to Pekin, and even if he had we have little doubt that the " verm ili on pencil" would be employ e d i n writing an e di c t d oo ming the bearer of such an insult ing docum en t t o l oose his Dutton, and seek a resi dence on the north side of the Great Wall. Something more explicit was called for relative to the war in Afghanistan than an expression of regret for the Caubul massacre, and a compliment to the gallant General SALE and the heroes of Jellalabad. An assurance that in withdrawing- from that country we should retire with honour was required to satisfy even those who, like ourselves , think that our tr oo p s might be better employed within our own territory than in fighting the battles of rival barbarian chiefs west of the Indus. Enough was known by the Govern ment not to have allowed Parliament to separate without some wor d of explanation upon a subject which, throughout India, is exciting a very distres sing interest. Lord ASHBURTON has surely been long enough in Washington feasting Members of Congress, and I turning the heads of candidates for the Presidency with his " dinners . served on gold plate," and his " sixteen tall footmen in magnificent liveries "—the envy of the greatest men of " the greatest nation in all creation"—to have afforded the Government an op portunity of making allusion to his diplomatic labours in the Royal Speech. Yet there is not a syllable about his Lordship's mission in the QuEEN's Speech. Nevertheless New York Papers of the 25th ult., received this morning, assure us that Lord ASHBURTON has not been idle, as the boundary question is about to be settled. The line agreed upon does not differ much from the award of the ex-Kin: of HOLLAND, aild in what it does, the advantage is supposed to be in our favour, save that the United States is to have the: free navigatiOn of the St. John's River, although both banks of the river below the Great Falls will belong to great Britain. In time of war, therefore, the navigation of the St. John's would be, in the case of the United States, a dead letter. We regret further, that her Majesty has not told us that her Government is taking measures for a friendly co-operation with the Great Powers, to re store tranquillity to Syria. Never were the Chris tians in that country so persecuted as since we re. stored them to the dominion of the Turks. As we were the instruments • for reducing them to such misery, we are bound to afford them some succour. Now, we cannot believe but that this might be done without disturbing the peace of Europe. France, we know, will readily support us in obtaining any relief for the Christian inhabitants of Lebanon. We dislike the introduction of extraneous matter in a Royal Speech, but we cannot regard in that light a fatal event which has thrown a gloom of sorrow over a great neighbouring country. Consider ing the events to which it has given rise there, in the convocation of an extraordinary session of the Cham bers, and the condolence of all classes, we cannot but regret that the QUEEN was not advised to give public expression to her feelings of sorrow and those of her people, in the solemn and national presence of her Parliament. Such an act would have tended greatly to soothe the sorrow of an afflicted family, and ex torted the praise of a brave and chivalrous, although choleric people. We have received the Paris Papers of Thursday. The discussion upon the Address in the Chamber commenced late, the sitting having been occupied with the election of M. DE GIRARDIN, who was ad mitted. The four paragraphs of the Address were then voted, and of course the Address itself. The leading articles of the French journals severely criti cise it. The Commerce gives the following account of a circumstance said to have occurred on Monday, but of which we had not previously heard:— " The King left the Tuileries about half-past four o'clock to return to Neuilly. Between the Place de la Concorde and the Rond Point of the Champs Elysees the horses ran away, and th e ri g ht-h a nd reins were found broken on the carriage being stopped near the basin, but whether this was the cause or the consequence of the running away is not known. The Duke de Ne reours and the Prince de Joinville were following his Majesty in a caleche. They got out, notwithstanding the assurances of the King that it was not necessary, and the Prince de Joinville got into the King's carriage to embrace him. His Majesty did not show the least signs of alarm. A crowd was beginning to collect, when the reins were mended, and the two carriages proceeded on their way without further impediment." The Madrid Journals are of the 4th and those of Bar celona of the sth. Nothing important had occurred at 'Madrid, but at Barcelona the projects of the Joval lenists still engage the public attention. Meetings of the Moderados had taken place at Barcelona to celebrate the anniversary of the birthday of Queen Christina. Officers of the army had taken part in them. Several of• them have been deprived of their commissions, and others arrested. The brother of Maroto, was one of them. This latter having obtained from the Governor of the citadel leave to go out on his parole, has, it is said, gone on board one of the French ships stationed there. The day before yesterday there was a kind of riot at Montrouge, at the place where the fortifications are being executed. The following was the occasion :—Some English mechanics have invented a machine for tra velling the ground, 1)y the aid of which two men do the work of twenty workmen.. The labourers, to whom this machine does serious injury, soon collected together, and uttered threats against the English. The peasants in the environs joined them. and the assemblage began to assume an alarming ap- pearance. The authorities, being informed of what was passing, immediately took measures to restore order. A number of Municipal Guard,, police-officers, and troops of the line, were sent to the spot ; and, thanks to this display of energy, the disorder immediately ceased. The machine now acts without hindrance. It is reported at the Hague, that the King of Holland has resolved to grant entire amnesty to all those who, during the last reign were punished with fine and im• prisonment; for having taken part in religious meetings not legally authorised. It may be recollected that these condemnations, which were every where very numerous under the Government of William 1., did not a halt contribute to make the .old King unpopular.—Le Com merce, Aug. 11. • BOURSE—PARIS, THVRSDAY, AUG. 11.

FOREIGN. The Debats has a long • article on a report that the German Customs Union is about to raise its tariff on several important articles of foreign manufactures, including some of this - CO - iintry.- The Debats expresses a hope that the Union will, on reflection see the folly of such a measure as regards French goods, and rather seek to promote its real interests by favouring their introduction into Germany. The King of the Frencl has received a letter from the King of Bavaria, in answer to the notfficatiorf of the death of the Duke of Orleans. This letter was presented to the Minister of Foreign Affairs by M. Wendland, the Bavarian Charge d'atfaires, in the absence of the Count de Luxembourg. ' Sir Moses and Ladv Montefiore have arrived in Paris, and alighted at the Hotel Windsor. The Journal des Debats reveals some projects of France in the Pacific, which will not, we suppose, escape the notice of our Government. According to a letter from Valparaiso, dated the 15th of April, published in that paper on Thursday, it was the in tention of France to make a settlement on the Mar- Ouesa Islands, which are situated in the Pacific cean, in lat. 11 deg. S. Rear-Admiral Dupetit Thouars, who had arrived at Valparaiso in the Reine Blanche frigate, was believed to have been sent to those seas for that purpose. He was to be joined by a flotilla of four corvettes one of which the Triomphante, had already reached - there, having on board a company of Marine Artillery. A large transport, the Jules Cesar, had been freighted by the Rear-Admiral, and laden with a considerable quantity of building materials, which he had purchased previ ous to his departure. The captain had been instructed not to open his despatches.until he was far out at sea. " If the expedition has this object in view," adds the correspondent of the Journal des Debats, " it is a noble conception, for the situation of the Marquesa, Islands is peculiarly favourable, being placed' precisely on the road of the new line of communication between Europe and Asia, across the Isthmus of Panama." Our accounts from Madrid are of the 4th inst., but they are wholly destitute of political interest. Some movements of troops had taken plice at . Valladolid. General Aleson had marched from that city in the direction of Leon, with several battalions of infantry, but for what object was not known. Some said that orders to concentrate a considerable force on that part of the frontier of Portugal had been forwarded from Madrid, and others that the factious contemplated making a demonstration in the Asturias. The Castellano publishes a letter from Gibraltar, announcing that a fire had broken out in that harbour on board an English steam-frigate, which was con veying 400 barrels of gunpowder to Malta; but that, timely assistance having been affirded, it was extin guished, without the occurrence of any accident. The Madrid journals of the 3d inst. contain the speech of Mr. Washington IrvinglsLthe Regent, on presenting his letter of credence as Minister of the United States at the Court of Spain. A funeral service for the Duke of Orleans was per formed at Madrid, in the Royal Chapel of St. Louis, on the 3d inst. All the French residents of Madrid, the members of the diplomatic body, several of the Spanish authorities, and many other persons of dis tinction, were present. We read in a letter from Alexandria, July 22, published by the Augsburg Gazette—" The Pacha has just authorised Captain Engledue not only to repair the road between this place and Suez, but also to realise the project of a Steam Navigation Company for the transit trade. He is to build at Suez, at the cost of the Pacha, a large hotel for the accommodation of travellers, and warehouses for the reception of goods. The Pacha proposes also to establish a steam-boat communication between Alexandria and Constanti nOple." The same letter states that, since the arrival of the English Bishop at Jerusalem, several Jews have embraced the Protestant religion. According to accounts from Cape Hayti (St. Do mingo) of the 28th June, received at Bremen, another shock of earthquake took place cur- the 24th, which caused great terror, but no details are given. PARLIAMENTARY. The two Houses of Parliament were yesterday pro rogued by her Majesty in person. Her Majesty was heartily cheered on her way to perform the office. Prior to reading the Speech. the Royal Assent was given to several Bills, including the last Bill of Supply for the session, which the Speaker presented, and accompanied the presentation with a view of the labours of the Com. mons :. The two Houses were prorogued , till October 6. Before the House of Cornmo - ns WM summoned to the House of. Lords, an interesting discussion on a variety of topics took place. Mr. 'l'. Duncombc began it 133 asking a question relative to correspondence which had taken place between Sir J. Graham and the Town-clerk of Bridport. Sir James, it appears, has not enough to do in rehearing in private the cases of gentlemen who are publicly condemned, and in pardoning them, and ii attending to all the multifarious duties of his office, he undertakes to judge of the language used at all public meetings, and• inquires minutely into the words of the Rev. - J. Spence, at Bridport, which appears not to have been satisfactory to him. For the avowed interference with the freedom of discussion, Sir James was deservedly taken to task by Mr. Hawes, Mr. Hume, and Sir 'l'. Wild, but he said no taunts should .deter him from at tempting to prevent a breach of the peace, which he sup poses, like Mr. Mallalieu, at Deptford, may come from speaking truth of the 'aristocracy. Another topic, worthy of notice, was the state of - Manchester, which was adverted to by Mr. Hume, but nothing was elicited from Sir R. Peel, more than unmeaning praises of his own tariff—a renewed and received assertion that legis lation cannot cure the evils which legislation causes. In the midst of the discussion on the subject, the House was summoned, by. the Usher of the Black Rod, to the House or Lords—they went, returned, and separated, and there is a cessation of legislation, thank God ! for a season. PUBLIC OPINION. The Post observes, in an article on the disturbed state of the manufacturing districts :—" We lament to state that the accounts from the manufacturing districts are of a very gloomy description. The lead ers of the mobs have, it appears, avowed,..that their ob ject is to enforce the enactment of the People's Charter. It seemed, indeed, evident enough from the first, that distress was not the cause of the riots, for persons in a state of destitution cannot afford to with draw themselves from honest industry to attend poli tical meetings, and muster themselves in formidable numbers, in order to inspire terror among the peace able inhabitants of a town. The misguided persons, who, from the pressure of diitress, have been induced to take part in these tumultuous proceedings, may be expected to secede, now that the object is shown to be one with which the pressure of distress has no sort of connection. Should they fail to realise this rea sonable expectation nothing remains but that they must share with their more guilty confederates such coercion to peace, and such, punishment for the breach of it, as the welfare and safety of society require. • That the eftbrts of the Anti-Corn-law League, failing in everything else, have succeeded in exciting into action a Manchester mob is unfortu nately true. We fear that, whoever else may be hanged in consequence of their reatliinations, the members of the League, after the usual manner of demagogues, whether Irish or English, will show themselves cunning and cowardly enough to keep their own necks out of a halter, The Chartist spouters are, we suppose, generally men who have no other visible means a gaining a livelihood than that of robbing hen-roosts and stealing turnips from the field ; and such are not the meri best qualified to head a popular insurrection," We take the following from the Times :--" The alarming state of things in Manchester and its neigh bourhood continues, hitherto the mischief done has consisted chiefly in the forcible suspension of business. and in a few acts of violence, trifling in comparison with what might be apprehended from so numerou , and occited a populace as that which has, by this movement, bean thrown out of employment, ft can scarcely, however, be hoped that the worst is over. An ignorant and deluded mob, assembled they hardly know why, yet knowing that they are unlawfully as sembled, in a state of compulsory idleness, suffering under distress, conscious of physical power, and look ing to that power for the accomplishment of their objects, such a material Is, like the waves of the sea, ready to take a direction from the first wind that falls upon them. We see no reason to believe that politics, on the part of the workpeople, had any share whatever in originating this movement; but once originated, it may be stimulated and turned to account by political incendiaries, whose influence with the operative class is always unhappily great. Our anxiety is for the ope ratives themselves, Discreet precautions, and the judicious employment of the force at the command of the Magistracy, have already done much for the pro tection of the peaced )1y disposedTaatime has been obtained for such reinforcements as ought to place the result, so far as the safety of Manchester and other towns is concerned, beyond all doubt. The idea, therefore, of any triumph over the law on the part of, the rioters is not to be entertained. Nothing which these tumultuous assemblages may do can by any possibility bring the operatives one inch nearer to the "People's Charter," (should they be persuaded to identify the remedy of their grievances with that chimera), or their masters (if any of them have been guilty of fomenting the outbreak with such a view) nearer to the repeal of the Corn-laws. On the con trary, any reasonable and beneficial public object could only be retarded by such methods of enforcing it upon the Legislature ; while there is enough strength and majesty left in the law of England to suppress and put down with a high hand every attempt to promote unreasonable or mischievous ob jects by violence." The' Chronicle thus alludes to the Speech from the Throne :—" Parliament was yesterday prorogued. The Speech from the Throne attributes more import- I ince to the commercial labours of the Government . ' han the country will be disposed to allow to them. ['lie intelligence from the manufacturing and mining • listricts supplies a singular comment on the assur nice that there are indications of gradual recovery . from that depression which has affected many branches of manufacturing industry, and has exposed large ' .;lasses of my people to privations and sufferings, which have caused me the deepest concern. When, we ask, did ever a Parliament separate under cireum 3tances more calculated to fill all reflecting meri vsith alarm ? Chartist disturbances prevail in Scotland both in the east and west. Lancashire and Cheshire are in confusion, and the disturbances in Stafford :shire appear to be the result of the same organi zation which is at work in the north and west - if Scotland. Ministers were told by the depu ties from the manufacturing districts that the pati nce of the people would give way under their privations, and that without a' relaxation of the corn monopoly, the peace of the country could not be pre served. Patience is a striking feature of the English ,!haracter, but the most patient people may at length tike counsel froin their despair. It appears that fear tll inroads aro everywhere made on property. The accounts, from Glasgow and Manchester concur in stating that the people are helping themselves in all directions. There is no insurrection properly speak ing, but a whole people roaming about the country in hordes. No armed force, no police can make head igainst such a state of things. The police in Man chester are worn out by their incessant exertions. We do not apprehend any effectual resistance to troops ; but we see no means equal to the demands of the ,2mergency for the protection of property. And it is It such a moment that Parliament is dismissed, with assurances that the people are about to be rewarded For their patience under privations, by a restoration to commercial prosperity !" With reference to the working of the Income-tax, the Herald observes :—" The Income-tax is beginning o trouble the land, and we are very much mistaken if Sir Robert Peel will not, on the meeting of the next L'arliaMent, very greatly regret the tenacity with which he adhered to schedule D in all the harsh in tegrity of •, Lord Lansdowne's Act. Tradespeople and merchants, and they who maintain themselves and their families by their mental industry, or by the energetic speculation of a small capital, are already shuddering over the forms which are before them, and dread the exposure of their affairs which is to follow. The tax on income, as distinguished from property* will be found to be intolerable, however skilfully and leniently collected ; and on the re-assembling of the Legislature the demand for its repeal will be universid• The Income-tax, 'it will scarcely be denied, is the price which the British people pay for their detesta tion of slavery and the 'slave trade ; it is a price which they will not consent to pay very long ; it is, more over, one which no prudent Minister will allow them to pay long, because he is in the possession of means t° enable the British sugar colonies to compete with the slave-growing countries of the tropics.
