From all vitiartors we hear one opinion expressed. It is ,:411fatically said " England will be ruined if tiLe middle and working classes be not recon ciled." As long as they are at enmity, a large military force will be required to keep the peace, and in its presence liberty is an empty name. e see, therefore, with satisfaction, that Mr. .J 00% ex STURGE, as Chairman of the National Complete Suffrage Union, has issued an address to the " middle and enfranchised classes," in order t.,D heal, if possible, our unhappy dissensions. It is quite natural that for undertaking this good Is ork Mr. STURGE should be assailed y atl those who love riot and disorder ;IS 4ile justification of tyranny.

The soil, and all political "w` r, have been monopolized; the bulk of the proillee of their labour is annually, by some ' , fent or other, or by some class or other, ex- from them—while those who undertake to t.:aolt them, and to provide for their welfare, i:i retu - ,..n for wealth and power, have given them Lisebil instruction whatever, and have taken ,„, care of their health or their welfare.

Wild; Sally Gingham, ` .'ice., ti . ptivate flexes may be had of Mr. J.lKe rse lm er , a t t h e tj7yr Eleven till Four daily. years they have been writing against cheap bread. The Post was at the pains, for seven , ' tu9nths, to prove, almost daily, that any pos sible reduction of the price of corn would not amount to half a farthing a loaf, and it held up to the scorn of the people the demand for the repeal of the Corn-laws. It affirmed, too, al most daily, that to give our people cheap bread would degrade them to the level of the black bread and sour trout eating Germans. It main tained stoutly that cheap living implied low wages, and it treated those as the enemies of the people who asked for cheap bread. The Herald took a somewhat similar line of argument. We, therefore, were astonished to find the Post yes terday pouring out charges against those who kept up the price of bread, though " wheat has fallen during the last few weeks .20s. per quarter." Far from now thinking that this fall of 20s. should have no influence on the price of a loaf, it called those " rogues in grain" who do not sell their 41b. loaves "for 7d. at most." We cordially congratulate our Con temporary on his conversion to the doctrine that a cheap loaf is beneficial to the eaters of bread. The Herald is a convert too. It now takes the common sense view, and cries out that the 41b. loaf ought to be only 6d. " The bakers and millers," it affirms, " are at the root of all the evil of high prices of bread," and" the odium now thrown on the agricultural classes, is justly chargeable on the bakers and millers." Both the monopolist journals, then, have suddenly be , come the advocates of cheapness. The clue to their contradiction is this. It was supposed that the repeal of the Corn-laws would benefit mill owners, manufacturers, and others of the middle classes; now it is supposed that the high prices benefit millers and bakers, and in both cases envy of the well-doing of industrious tradesmen prompts the contradictory opinions. They are an evidence of the hatred of tradesmen which the gentry nourish, and which their organs express, and of nothing else. Very little of our own farmers' crops is yet brought to market. They, therefore, cannot have reaped the benefit of those high prices which are maintained for their advantage. Be fore they can have sold more than a few bushels of wheat, prices, the Post says, have fallen 20s. a quarter, or one-third. What a vast fluc tuation in a few weeks. In the next few weeks, probably, prices will fall still further. Why should the monied men who command the market-- , and who know,: as wen - as they know. that two and, two, ma,ke, four, ,that the , 'farmer must sell--giv,e,him one •farthing morethan they can , help ? They will not buy on the benevOlnt principle, though the farmer be wholly unable to pay his rent. Two million two hundred thousand quarters of foreign wheat have been entered for home consumption, while our own harvest is abun dant, and the price of wheat must fall far and fast. Behold one of the beauties of PEEL'S sliding scale. Prices were forced up, and kept up, by all possible means, to catch, if possible, the bounty of 800,0001. which the law offered to the adventurous holders of the 2,200,000 quarters of wheat, could they bring it in at ls. duty. They have lost the great stakes they played for, and the bankruptcy of the corn dealers—throwing their stocks on the market—is the consequence. The high prices which have ruled of late have been artificial, and the farmers and millers have not, in fact, experienced that great reduction which appears to the public, and on which scores of writers are now complaining of them for not lowering the price of flour and bread. We need not recommend our readers to pe ruse the trial of SUISSE, the Marquis of HERT FORD'S valet. It is a sort of reading of which they are greedy, and they will devour it. The moral lesson which that trial teaches will not at this time be lost on the public. They will not fail to remark in what manner the wealth of the aristocracy is spent, while our artizans are starv ing. The connection which exists between their miserable poverty, and the unwholesome wealth of such men as the Marquis of HERTFORD, is ap parent, and it is equally apparent that a more equal distribution of wealth than now obtains would confer immeasurable benefits both on the poor and the rich. • . • • • '1 • • , •• • pry .c\- 4 1 • Ir - 1s - 4 t - ' ;t- ' 1"111 k ."‘ :4••• . till 1 --47 7 • Ri•:' rktc..w 4 THE DUTCH MAIL. COLOGNE, AUG. 20, 6P. AL—A telegraph des patch from flerlin, just received here, informs us that their Majesties the King and Queen of Prussia, set out this afternoon at four o'clock by the new railway to Magdeburg, on their journey to the Rhenish provinces. Their Majesties are expected on the 28th at Dusseldorf, where they will remain till the 3d of September, to be present at the review of the 7th corps of the Prussian army. On the 4th of September they will come to Cologne, where the first stone of the addition to the Cathedral will be laid. On the 12th there will be a grand review of the Bth corps of the army, assembled at Bruhl. On account of the great heat and drought, the King has stopped the grand review of the Guards in the vicinity of Berlin. The troops assembled on the Rhine, seem likewise to suffer from the heat.

BRUSSELS, AUG. 21.—The Journal de Bruxellek says "It is reported, says a Journal, that M. de Liem, the Minister of War, has just tendered his resignation to the King, on account of his ill health. We believe we may contradict this report. It is true that the numerous labours to which M. de Liem has devoted his attention, since his entrance into office, have affected his health ; but we expect, from his de votedness to the public service, that he will continue to fulfil the task which he has accepted for the con fidence of the Ring." The Moniteur of this morning publishes an impor tant Royal Ordinance, giving great facilities to com merce. By this Ordinance— " Art. I. sec. 1. Except in cases where fraud is suspected, packages of goods are exempt from exa mination, which enter in transit by the Custom house offices of Henri Chappelle, Quievrain, and Menin, destined to be conveyed by the iron railway, in order to be embarked at Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, or Ostend, or to be deposited in the public entrepot of one of those ports. "Sec. 2. The same exemption from examination shall be applicable to packages entering in transit by the parts of Antwerp, Ostend, or Ghent, by Gelzaete, to be forwarded by the iron railway, to either custom houses of Henri Chappelle, Quievrain, or Menin, as well as packages forwarded in transit by the same channel, and by the same. Custom-houses, to be ex ported from the public entrepots in those places, or the free entrepots, provided they have not undergone any manipulation or change in the wrapper or package in those last establishments." The ordinance contains further regulations for car rying this into effect. BRUSSELS, AUG. 22.—The fourth exhibition of th e production of Belgian arts and manufactures was opened yesterday.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The announcement of another dividend on the New Three per Cent. Spanish Stock has re vived the indignation of that most ill-used class of creditors the holders of Treasury Bonds, who, having the most solemn pledge of the -Spanish Government, have been unable to this day to obtain a dollar of in terest, though the payment of the principal as . well as interest was guaranteed to them. Many of them have gone to the Spanish agency-office to know what is to be done with their securities, and the answer they receiveis, that no instructions have been received there respecting Treasury Bonds. This answer, unsatis factory enough in itself, is rendered perfectly unin telligible, when the holders are f ur th er t o ld t h at t h ey may if please exchange their Treasury Bonds fo - r the new stock. If there are no instructions about the Bonds at all, how, they ask, can there be any instruc tions which would authorise the agent to issue Three per Cent. Stock in exchange for them ?—a question which revives the rumour current some time ago, and never satisfactorily cleared up, of the p oss ibilit y o f an extra quantity of Spanish Stock finding its way into the market. As for the offer to convert, they of course reject it at once, as there is no reason why they should change a Treasury Bond, which is a re deemable security, for a stock which is irredeemable, especially since, finding every decree that guaranteed the payment of their Bonds disregarded, and every promise to pay them violated, they feel that the holders of the new stock may meet with no better fate. SUN.—It having been ascertained that some large amounts of stock were taken off the market on account of the Scotch Banks, the fact of these estab lishments having operated so largely gave an in creased firmness to prices, and Consols left off at 921 for Money and for the Account ; Bank Stock, 167 169 ; India Stock, 2501 2511; Exchequer Bills, Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 prem. For some time past but little business has been going forward in Foreign securities. The small amount of • legitimate Bonds offering, and the condition of the several non-paying States equally forbidding speculation, transactions have therefore, been altogether bona fide. The fallacious grounds upon which time bargains were carried on having been fully explained, and the greater portion of the property formerly employed having been with drawn by the late exposure of the Exchequer Bill fraud, scarcely a dealing is now entered into in them,. and it is a matter of general regret that a degree of currency is given to many of this description by re taining them on the official lists. The prices of the securities were—Belgian 1011 1021; Dutch Two. and-a-Half per Cents., 521521 ; the Five per Cents., 102 1021 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 65 66. The quotation of Mexican declined to 341 341, in consequence of some unfavourable accounts stated to have been received by the Great Western. Those parties interested in either Texas or Mexico who may be uninfluenced by the Stock Exchan ge , a pp e ar . ,to,considqfhe' - intelligence, .although yagne, to favottrablo than the• last. The Executive of texas is stated to be decidedly against carrying on hostilities, upon the proper presumption that the country is not. at present in a condition to do so without getting into debt.. The Mexicans are in a better situation, and equally aware that such is the case. Under the circumstances, it is confidently hoped that the C onven ti on en t ere d into with Texas for this country to act as mediator, may he carried into effect. The alteration in the prices of Shares was but trifling—London and Birmingham were 181 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 40 42 ; Great Western, 85 86 ; the Half Shares, 61 611; South 'Western, 621 631 ; North Midland, 58 60 ; the New Shares, 28 29 ; South Eastern and Dover, 214 221 ; Eastern Counties, 9 91 ; Blackwall, 81 84; and Brighton, 331 33i per share. The quotations of the Bonds were—Colombian, 201 201 ; Peruvian, 151 161 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 331 34 ; the Three per Cents., 20 201 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 204 201; and the Three per Cents., 191 20 per 1001. Bonds, with all the overdue coupons. According to. th e fficial lists, the only dealings were in Colombian and Spanish. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. London, Aug. 27, 1842. The following average prices of Brown, or Mus covado British Sugars, will be published in this evening's Gazette : West India .. 3ss. llid. per cwt. East India ...... Mauritius .. The total average prices of the three kinds of Sugar is 355. aid. per cwt. The actual quantities sold in the week ending the 23d inst., on account of the importers, according to the returns of the sugar brokers made on oath, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantities the above prices aro computed, consisted of 17;896 cwt. of West India, of 4,660 cwt. of East India, and of 5,194 cwt. of Mauritius Sugars. There have been sold 422 cwt., at 265. per cwt., of Kaur sugar, which being classed as East India, un fairly depresses the average price of that description of sugar. Taking. quality for quality, foreign sugars may be bought fully 20s. per cwt. below the prices of British Sugars, yielding the Sugar monopolists on one article a profit, through excess of price, of four millions sten. ling- per annum ; in the meantime the fruit growers, who form in fact a part of the landed interest, are witnessing the destruction of their produce in large quantities, from the want of Sugar at a reasonable price to preserve it ; the landlords are compelled to submit to this loss rather than quarrel with their co-monopolists, the West India body, whose support and influence, they propitiate by silence; thus it is made manifest, that the laws which confer monopoly or protection on a particular class, do not permit that class to retain all the money derived from its legal position, because the persons comprising it have to buy of other protected classe;, articles of consumption which are enhanced cent. per cent. in their value. If the increased price of each protected artie, l 2 were set down in opposition to their gains through the operation of the Corn-laws, the landlords would find the balance in their favour, if any, small indeed; nevertheless the consumers at large absolutely lose the enormous sums to which the several monopolies amount. Can any surprise then exist at the discontent which pervades the United Kingdom from one end to the other. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVE.NING, AUGUST 26, 1842 COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert enjoyed their usual morning walk. The Prince of Waks and the Princess Royal were taken an airing. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the Duchess of Norfolk, left the Castle in the afternoon for Clifden House, the seat of Sir George Warrender, in a carriage and four, followed by the Maids of Honour in a pony phaeton, and the Equerries in Waiting on horseback. The Duke of Norfolk, Lady Mary Howard, Vis count and Viscountess Canning, Sir James Graham and Captain Francis Seymour (Sc o t s Fusilier Guards),, arrived at the Castle: Viscount Melbourne, and Lord and Lady Mau vale took their departure. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Sir George Couper, Bart., will have the honour of .di n i ng w ith her Majesty-this evening. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Military Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, had an interview wiih Sir James Graham, yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign office. The Attorney-General attended at the Home office in the afternoon. Despatches from Lord Ashburton, Ambassador to the United States, were received yesterday at the Fo reign -office. Lieut.-Col. Rushbrooke had an interview with Lord Stanley yesterday at the Colonial-office. Sir Robert Peel has left town for Drayton Manor. The French Charge d'Affaires transacted business yesterday at the Foreign• office. The Lord Chancellor is staying at his residence at Henley.. Sir Henry Hardinge and Sir Edward Knatchbull left town yesterday. His Excellency EdWard Everett, the American Minister, bas left London . on a visit to Paris. ST. MARTIN'S elmßut.—The intricate scaffolding to the steeple of this church having been erected with unusual rapidity, the work of taking down the damaged part has already commenced, and a great quantity of the stone has been deposited on the ground. On com mencing the task of demolition it was ascertained that the whole of the steeple upwards from the part struck by the electric fluid had been completely shaken, and that the entire rebuilding of so much of it was imperatively necessary. The process of taking it down is rendered somewhat protracted, as each stone is lowered sepa rately. The gilded ball and vane that wore at the sum mit have been slung to the uppermost scaffolding,'so that the trouble of lowering them and afterwards raising them to their proper position has been avoided. The services in the church have been resumed. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—We un derstand that special trains are ordered to be in readi ness, at a very early hour on Monday morning next, to convey her" Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Court from Slough to town, where the Royal carriages will be in waiting, in which her Majesty, Prince Albert and suite will proceed to Woolwich, and embark under a Royal sa lute on board the Royal George yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, which is fully equipped for sea, for Granton, near Leith. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal will not accompany their illustrious pa rents to the north. They will remain at Windsor Castle in care of their Governess, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, until the return of her Majesty, whose absence will not exceed a fortnight, THE -DISTURBANCES IN THE Mr. Foster said time would be given to the parties interested to prepare the evidence affecting the differ ent parties under charge. Mr. Cobbett then applied to admit the prisoner to bail. This was refused by the Court, and he was re manded till Friday. RIOTING AND SEDITION. Tinker and Seddon, two of the Chartist leaders, who were charged with inciting the mob to riot, and turn out the hands at the Adelphi Print Works, Sal ford, were also again remanded till Friday. James Leach was also remanded till the same time. The charge against this person was for using seditious language at the meeting of Delegates in Carpenter's hall. James Hutchinson was also remanded for the same period on a charge of using seditious language at a meeting of delegates, and with having issued a pla card purporting to be resolutions passed at a meeting of which he was the chairman, at the Hall of Science, on the 16th inst. Mr. Bart, who appeared for the prisoner, said it might appear inconsistent that he should put his name to resolutions passed at the meeting which he disap proved of, but he was prepared to prove that such was the case, and he therefore trusted the Magistrates would take bail for his appearance. This was refused, and he was remanded till Friday. William Lee was placed at the bar, charged with taking part in the attack on the lock-ups at Newton heath,. in Oldham-road, on the 10th instant, and throwing stones at the police sergeant in charge of the building. Mr. John Taylor, who appeared for the prisoner, called three persons, who deposed to the prisoner being in bed at the time of the riot, he having been out all the previous night pursuing his avocation as a night soilinan. The Magistrates, however, ordered the depositions :o be taken against him. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S---XESTERDAY..

The only at tempt to disturb the peace of yesterday was the ef fort of some hands to turn out the workpeople of Messrs. Kennedy's mill, in which they, were only partially successful. The Committee of Millowners came to the following resolution yesterday, which was posted on 'Change : " REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF MILT.OWNERS AND OTHERS EMPLOYING WORKPEOPLE IN MANCHESTER AND SALFORD. " Tuesday, Aug. 23.----The Committee have to re port that, in addition to the mills and other works which started at the end of last week, all the remain ing fine mills, and several coarse. mills, went in yes terday, and also continue steadily at work to day ; that the hands in many other branches of trade re sumed labour yesterday, and also continue steadily at work ; that the Committee have reason to believe that the disposition to return to work amongst those who are still out is gradually increasing ; that wherever this disposition has manifested itself; and an opportu nity has been afforded to the hands to go to work, la bour has been resumed ; that, previous to starting, parties are recommended to give notice to the autho rities at the Town-hall, - stating the locality of the works, and time fixed for starting. " Chamber of Commerce, Twelve o'Clock." A few meetings were held in different parts of the town yesterday, but none of any account to disturb the peace. 'One of the power-loom weavers, of about 400 or 500, was held in Travis-street, who resolved to remain out another fortnight, whatever privations they must submit to, or until they got the wages of 1839. The pensioners, who have been sworn in and acting as special constabl es , h ave a ll b een discharged, but it has been thought advisable not at present to reduce the number of special constables who are in constant attendance at the Town-hall, and differen stations. Intelligence was received at nine o'clock this morn. ing, from Oldham, that a large meeting of factory people and colliers was held at seven o'clock, when they were addressed by several speakers. They then dispersed into groups of about 200 each, one of which made an attack upon a mill near the church, breaking in the doors and windows. They were assailed by the police, who were, however, driven back, one being seriously injured in the head by a blow from a stone, and another having several of his ribs broken. The town was completely under mob law, and the autho rities had sent to Ashton for military aid. The original meeting consisted of nearly 4,000 persons. EXAMINATION OF RIOTERS, &C. Yesterday morning, about twelve o'clock, Mr. J. F. Foster, Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, took his seat along with the stipendiary Magistrate, Mr. D. Maude. at the New Bailey Court-house, for the . purpose of pursuing the further. examination of •the prisonerss..c.harged :with ttakincpart the present' rapyemen • • t• • • rim nAMEGriI 'SMATIOTTS I I.ACARD., Charles Turner,.the printer of the placard purPort ing to emanate from the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association, was again placed at the bar, when Mr. Beswick, after stating the nature of the charge against him, which has already been pub lished, said he prayed front the Court a further re mand for the prisoner, in order that he might prepare the necessary evidence against him. Mr. Cobbett, solicitor, who appeared for the pri soner, said he was ready to admit the printing of the placard, but he was prepared with evidence to prove that his client had no sympathy with the sentiments contained in it.

Tfl ft> ' , .t ; .51111 , • *tronbfl2bWon SUN OFFICE Three o'Cluch If a Commission be appointed, the first criminals who ought to be put upon their trial are the Mem bers of the Cabinet, and the PEEL majorities in Par liament. These comprise the worst class of offenders, —the real originators of all the riots in the manufac turing districts. We have received several additional letters re specting the violent conduct of the police, most of which we are obliged, for the present, to postpone. They all agree on the main points, and are una nimous as to the growing hostility of the community to this military force. As a proof of this feeling the charges for obstructing the police are rapidly (n the increase, having been doubled in three years. Public meetings and public subscriptions for prose cuting the offenders are proposed, and in a short time we believe they will become so odious, and consequently' so useless for preserving order that a law must be passed to break up the establishment or change the entire system. One Correspondent says, on , witnessing an act of atrocity committed by a constable, " I never was opposed to the Government before." Thousands are actuated by the same feeling, and should a serious 'crisis arise, Sir JAMES GRAHAM will find this numerous and ex pensive body worse even than a broken reed. English men are not yet so destitute of spirit as to submit, like Russian serfs or Egyptian fellabs, to blows for speaking or crying out against oppression; and woe to the Minister that attempts to reduce them to such et slavish condition. We perceive from the Edinburgh papers that the Commission of the General Assembly are to meet on Tuesday, for the purpose of addressing Her MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT, on the occasion of the Royal visit to the Northern Metropolis, and that the course pursued by that body when GEORGE the Fouauf visited Scotland •is cited as a precedent. The ' caseF however, are diametrically opposite. The General Assembly in 1822 was a loyal, peaceful, and legal Ecclesiastical Court, merciful and forgiving towards their weaker brethren, obedient to the law, and anxious for the promotion of pure morality, and true religion. The Assembly of 1842 is egre giously defective in all these Christian virtues. Their unfeeling conduct towards their tinoffending brethren, their numerous depositions of useful and venerable clergymen, and the unseemly strife which theY:,excited in every Kirk Session, Presbytery, and Synod, are known to all, and we need not, therefore, comment on them. But as regards' the QUEEN, there is one part of their conduct which cannot be passed over without some mark of disapproval, and which will require the serious consideration of her MAJESTY'S advisers. They have re sisted the law, they threaten still to resist it, and while they remain impenitent and disobedient, we cannot see how they can be admitted into the pre sence of the First Magistrate, the especial guardian of the law. Any ceremony of the kind would be an insult to her MAJESTY and an encouragement to evil doers, and we therefore confidently trust, when they wait on Sir JAMES GRAITAM, that he will bow them civilly out, and decline under present circumstances any address from a body so dangerous to the peace of the community. The dearth of important political news in the French journals continues. Instead of proceeding to Switzerland and Prussia, M. THEIRS left Paris on Wednesday for Boulogne to examine the site of the Camp of NAPOLEON. The ex-Minister is engaged in writing his History of the Empire, which is to form ten volumes of a continuation of his History of the French Revolution. As M. THEIRS, when Minister for Foreign Affairs, had ready access to a number of important State papers never yet communicated to the public, his new work will possess European in terest, provided that he only employ the most ordi nary industry, and honesty in the use of his materials. The French journals are still occupied with M. THIERS' speech and vote upon the Regency question. It is clear that his friends do not know what to think about him. lie has supplied them with no clue to his proceedings. For our own part, we believe that M. TRIERS has made his own terms with the KING. At present he is not prepared to take office, as he wants to finish his History, which is already pur chased, but that he will have accomplished at the meeting of the Chambers in January. In the interim many difficulties to his resumption of office will be quietly removed. In the fortifications of Paris he will find abundant grounds for abandoning his war like policy ; for what nation can be supposed fool hardy enough to provoke a hostile collision with an empire, whose capital is kept in order by the constant sight of the muzzles of 2,000 pieces of cannon ? The Duke DE NEMOURS, who was so unpopular during the lifetime of his brother the late Duke of ORLEANS, is quite a favourite with the people of Stras burg, where his Royal Highness is at present. Nothing so improves the temper, and so mollifies the speech, as the being a candidate for regal honours. The accounts from Strasburg concur in describing the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours as most enthusiastic, and in stating that his unassuming but dignified demeanour produced the most favourable impression upon all classes. A supplement of the Alsace of the 22d instant states that a telegraphic despatch, announcing the passing of the Regency Bill by the Chamber of Deputies, was communicated to his Royal Highness whilst he was dining .with the autho rities. The young Prince," says the Alsace, "re ceived the news with modest dignity and affecting simplicity. He said—' If my 'dearest wishes should be accomplished, France will not have occasion for a Regent. But if. God should one day call upon me to assume that difficult post, I will neglect nothing to show myself worthy of the con fidence of the country, and of the duties which are im posed upon me by the vote of the Chamber." A letter from Strasburg of the 21st, in the Debats, gives the following as the reply of the Prince to a General Officer, who had spoken to him of the new position in which the death of the Duke of Orleans has placed biro, 4. Aly The conduct of the Government in appointing an ' Extraordinary Commission for the trial of the ope ratives apprehended during the late disturbances in the manufacturing districts, appears to us fraught with much danger. When it is borne in mind that these poor men underwent the severest privations before turning out, in the hope of obtaining a " fair day's wages for a fair day's work " that they excited universal surprise by the extent to which they respected property—and that they were hardly guilty of a single outrage not provoked by the wanton intermeddling of the police, it will be difficult to discover any rational ground for setting aside the ordinary forms of law in bringing them to trial. There was nothing whatever treason able—hardly anything seditious in the turn out of the operatives. They proposed to themselves no violation of the laws for the protection of private property or social order. They sought nothing which the. Constitution of the country, either in the , letter or the spirit, denies to all classes of British subjeCts. Any attempt, therefore, to wrest the or dinary forms of law for the purpose of making examples of them, will hereafter be followed by, con sequences little foreseen by her MAJESTY'S Ministers. It is quite clear that the people resisted the military and the police as little as they could help, consistently with a regard to their own preservation. Had it been otherwise we should not have to record, day after day, the flight of tens of thousands of Englishmen before a handful of police. Our countrymen are no cowards, and were their object resistance to the au thorities, Sir JAMES GRAHAM would have a very dif ferent tale to tell from what he has now to impart to the members of the Extraordinary Commission, Our people have all heard of the Barricades of, Paris, and . were they to propose such an example_ to . ..thetnaelvesit , .they -Mould-e: not be , (found less b rave , or l ess s kill e d i n the modes of S•j;stematic defence and attack than their Gallic neighbours. But it was with monopoly, not with bludgeons and bayonets, that they 'sought to, come into collision. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.

We are not surprised at this, for there really is not the slightest occasion for the services of that formidable flo tilla, the City State barges. Are not the veteran warriors of Tilbury Fort, ready at 'hand to protect her Ma jesty, in case of the Royal yacht being unexpectedly attacked by an anonymous enemy ? Are not the Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend loyal to the back-bone, and would they not, in the event of danger, turn the bathing -machines into floating-bat teries ; arm all the Specials ; and lay in an extra stock of parish-beadles ? We grant that the heroic crews of the City barges, with the Lord Mayor as Commodore, would be of wonderful assistance to the Royal yacht— should it by any chance come into collision with a Thames pirate squadron, lying concealed, perhaps, among the bull-rushes on the Essex shore ; but we do not anticipate any such calamity; and are of opinion, that his Lordship's offer of protection, as " Conservator of the River," however, well meant, was perfectly superfluous, and was, therefore, wisely declined by her Majesty. Meantime, we feel we cannot too highly applaud the Lord Mayor's amiable • solicitude for the Royal safety. One mighty Poten tate is naturally interested in the welfare of another ; and his Lordship well knew that if the Queen had been escorted down the Thames by the State barges, with his broad pennant as Commodore flying at the stern, just two yards off his dining toona, `she ; Might have defied all obstruction and danger during the fresh-water portion of 116'Aydgd' no matter how terrific an aspect they might have as sumed;; for the City barges, manned by their hardy and intrepid crew of Aldermen, would have swept the river as triumphantly as ever Nelson swept the Channel ! THE LATE DOCTOR. MAGINN.—We regret to learn that this eminent scholar and consistent politician has left his widow and children in a state of great pecu niary embarrassment. Under these circumstances, we trust that the Tory party will see. the propriety of coming forward, and making some provision for his family, if only to testify that they are not without feelings of common gratitude towards a man whose pen was ever at their service, and who. exhibited more zeal, ability, and perseverance as a partizan, than al most any Tory writer of the day. By his contribu tions to Blackwood's and Fraser's Magazines, to the Quarterly Review, to the Standard, and several other party periodicals, Doctor Maginn proved himself a ' tower of strength" to the Tories ; and boldly stood by them, through evil and through good report, cheer ing them in the days of their despondency, when even the most sanguine of the squad, alarmed by the general enthusiasm for Reform, began to entertain se rious doubts whether they -would ever again be able to muster a hundred votes in Parliament. For our own part, while we repudiate Doctor Maginn's political views, we cannot .but respect the manliness and consistency with which he supported them. As a literary man, he is not less deserving of ad miration. He was a ripe and ready scholar, a good linguist, endowed with a vivid and pro lific fancy, and full to overflowing of that riotous, mercurial,' extravagant humour, which we admi re so much in tabelais. At times, he could be sternly— bitterly sarcastic ; no man more so ; but generally speaking, the leading quality of his humour was bon hommie. A more invincibly good-natured wag than Sir Morgan O'Doherty, never set the multitudinous readers of Blackwood grinning from ear to ear. In his private capacity, the Doctor was social, warm hearted, thoughtless, and ever ready to assist destitute literary men, and indeed all who applied to him for pecuniary aid. Considering the hectic, feverish life he led—the necessary consequence of his vocation as an author—his flow of spirits was remarkable; and it is greatly to his credit that he has left behind him many sincere friends, and not one enemy. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND V i ttbitt Ptit tail. " Who runs mop read." POSIEXCAT. The discussion in the Paris journals of the oppo sition relative to the recent vote of M. Thiers, COn; tinues to be the main feature in their original columns. Those which have been alike remarkable for their hostility to the ex-Minister, and to theyre" sent Cabinet, persist in regarding the difference be tween M. Thiers and M. Odilon 13arrot as indicative of a_breaking up of the coalition between M. 'Thiers and the Left of the Chamber, whilst on the contrary the journals which have supported that coalition are evidently endeavouring to prevent a general rupture. The news of the blockade of San Juan do Nica ragua by the English has furnished the Presse and the National with a pretext for nearly two coltunns. of comment on w h a t th ese j ourna l s cal l t h e s pirit of encroachment of the English Government. WC d° not find anything, however, in what they say on the present occasion worthy of extract. The remarks are in an unfriendly spirit, and evince determination to attribute all the proceedings of England to wrong motives. We find the following in the Akhbar of Algiers of the 15th inst. :—" The sickness has become frightfu l. Cerebralfever is especially prevalent, and is almost always mortal. No locality is spared. At Dell • Ibrahim, a village which was celebrated for its salu brity, there is great mortality.
