It is not exclusively connected with manufactures. Its origin is the monopoly of the soil. In fact, the truck system, or the payment of wages in goods, is more gene ral in the agricultural than the manufacturing districts; and probably as great an advantage is taken of the labourers in the one as in the other. The presumption is against the agricul .. tural districts, for the peasantry are much worse off than the artisans. There is nothing morally wrong, however, or unjust in paying wages in goods, if both parties agree to that mode of payment. What is mo rally wrong, what is unjust, and is very injurious, is the power possessed by the employers of labour over the labourers. That does not belong exclusively to the manufacturing system ; on the contrary, it is now possessed by master mg- , nufacturers, because it was previously possessed', by landlords. It is derived rather from the right of property than from any system of agricultural or manufacturing industry, and those who would remedy it must take other steps than railing against the payment of wages in goods. Our Tory Contemporaries betray on this subject a great deal of juvenile sensibility. Like ignorant, well-meaning lads, they are eager to redress a great wrong, but they know neither its origin nor how to cure it. The best, and perhaps only, remedy for it, is perfectly free trade, which would cause such a demand for the service of labourers, that they might, within certain limits, make their own terms, better their condition, and be gradually restored to independence. The manner in which the trial of the rioters at York was conducted by the Judges, and the prosecutors for the Crown, and the amount o punishment inflicted on those convicted, has, we believe, given general satisfaction, and, as far as we are aware, no complaints have been made on any of these points even by the friends of the unfortunate suflerers. Lord DEN MAN and Mr. Justice MAULE gave a careful con sideration to every circumstance of palliation ; the Counsel for the Crown showed great for bearance; and the Jury, much to their credit, in every case where they could interfere with pro priety, recommended the prisoners to mercy. Only one severe sentence was passed, but look ing at the nature of the offence, robbing a soldier while senseless and bleeding from an assault committed by one of the rioters, no other result could be expected. The prisoner convicted of this crime was nut, like the other prisoners, en gaged in a novel and unfortunate experi- meat to obtain better wages and better treat ment from their masters, but had joined them probably for the purpose of plun der, and thereby not only brought his punishment justly on himself, but also did great injury to those operatives with whom he became associated. He was sentenced to banishment for ten years. The more conspi cuous of the other offenders, and chiefly those who had tyrannically attempted to control the freedom of labour by stopping mills and vio lently compelling the hands to leave off work, were sentenced to various periods of imprison ment, from eighteen to three months; several were sent to prison for only fourteen days, com puted from the time of their arrest; and a great number were discharged, with a simple admoni tion. The results, therefore, as far as relates to the trials at York, are more favourable than many persons anticipated ; and it is only due to the Judges and Jury to state, that the country is under great obligations to them for thus exhibit ing a merciful disposition, which not only has benefited the unfortunate prisoners brought be fore them, but has served as a precedent fur the Judges and Magistrates in other districts. At the Salford Sessions the Bench of Magistrates imitated this example, and, unlike County Magistrates in general, seemed to feel for the misguided men, and mitigated the puu:shments as tar as they could consistently with a due regard to the rights of property, and the peace of the country. It is fortunate, therefore, that such Judges presided on• the occasion, and that a tone was not given to these prosecutions by renegade Whigs, who are blind to the crimes of the rich, cruel and unforgiving to the poor, and ever anxious to confirm the sincerity of their apostacy by deeds which even the party who has adopted them are ashamed to acknow ledge. had two Judges that we could name presided at the York trials, the whole charac ter of these proceedings might have been changed, and the spirit of discontent and irrita tion, which the humanity of Lord DENMAN and Mr. Justice MAULS will tend to allay, would have broken forth with tenfold fury. Some men have no idea of the blessed effects of lenity ; they vainly believe that the law, independent of public opinion, is all powerful ; and, blind to the dic tates of common sense, and led astray by their high notions of absolute power, never discover their errors till, by some serious resist ance, they find that the law, when administered . in opposition to the feelings of the community, is only useless and dangerous in proportion to its violence. Happily these absurd and mischievous notions are now losing ground. The public mind revolts against unnecessary severity; and instead of concurring in the decisions of Judges that have no idea of leaning to the side of mercy, invaria bly sympathises with the guilty sufferer. If even more lenity had been shown to some of these rioters, the ends of justice would have been, fully answered. Where violence was resorted to, and industrious men driven from their employment, and compelled to join the crowd, contrary to their own convictions, the offenders have little claim to leniency. But it ought to be borne in mind that some of these persons had been suffering for years under great deprivations, and probably were driven to these lawless deeds, not only by want, but by a foolish impression that a general strike would ultimately raise the price of labour. They have now seen their folly,. and it remains, therefore, for the Executive to con sider whether, in all cases where the offenders I had previously been men of good character, the term of imprisonment might not be shortened. Perhaps there is not an instance on record of such a general rising accompanied with so little injury to property. " The failure of the late attempt," says Lord BROUGHAM in a letter on the subject, " to make the distress so prevalent a means of disturbing the peace, is most creditable to the people. Even in the few instances of sot ne misguided persons for a moment forgetting their duty, they showed a distrust of themselves and of each other, the result of that habitual respect for the law, and aversion to illegal proceedings, which so honourably marks the character of Englishmen. This great merit should not be forgotten by their rulers:" In these just and hu mane sentiments we fervently hope the rulers of the people will concur, for they may rest assured that by a merciful administration of justice the Executive acquires public respect, and the law additional authority and strength. Our Portuguese news is of the sth inst. A of 66 votes to 14 carried the vote of majoy confidence, rit so that the Ministers will - hang toge ther for a few weeks longer. Lord ABERDEEN'S new proposal for tariff reductions had been re ceived by the Lisbon Cabinet. His Lordship offered to give up the 20 per cent. additional ad valorem duty on-Portuguese wines, and to sub stitute a duty of 3s. per gallon. He further con sented to a heavy import duty on British wool - lens exported to Portugal, for the purpose of protecting the cloth manufactures of Portugal. From Madrid we have news of the 3d instant.

We find ourselves, with a feeling of shame and indignation, engaged in a defence of the manufacturing industry of the country of WATT, ARKWUTGRT, and .DAvv. But no person, we be. lieve, can read the Tory journals without a con viction that this defence is necessary. Day after day, and week after week, the manufactures of England are vilified as if they Were the causes of poverty and pestilence. They are derided, too, in the names of humanity and benevolence; and because they have not made all those opu lent, ter at least prosperous, at all tones, whom they have snatched from destitution and death in the agricultural districts, the law is suppli— cated to visit those who carry them on with re straints and penalties. Experience has taught those who have at tended to her lessons, that the interference with a manuflicture, as in the cases of glass, malt, brewing„ &c., fbr the manufacture of which the Excise prescribes the rules, invariably impedes its success. All business is engaged in for profit; where competition is excessive freedom, is neces sary to ensure profit; manufactures, therefore, require perfeut freedom ; but, despite these les sons of experience, the Tory writers continually demand restrictions on manufactures. The blind leading the blind is a feeble illustration of their presumption. They are the blind, insisting that those who can see shall follow their groping steps, and encounter all the mischances to which their want of vision will subject them. The latest subject to which they have directed their attention, under the auspices of that en lightened legislator Mr. FERRAND, is the truck system, or the payment of wages in goods, and the Tories are vehemently indignant with those manufacturers who insist on the workpeople they employ buying at their shop. Some of them pay their work-people in goods instead of money, and certainly fleece the labourers to a very considerable extent. For their avarice and extortion, which is unfeeling and dishonest, d man, can make an excuse. They are un ti6ubtedly very much to blame, though they lj 3Y •" 11 ly.inatate the landlords and the clergy. Ex -1'14,4 lortion is unhappily the practical rule of life in ..our society.

The manufacturers who fleece their useful labourers in that manner are not to be exeuse.ii by the similar conduct of other . classes, and we - are not sorry to see the Tory • journals reprobating a vice in the former which they applaud in the latter. ror us it is not enough to join the Tories in condemning such extortion ; we should like to . know how it is that the extortioners amongst the master manufacturers are enabled so to treat • their workmen, notwithstanding the workmen are sensible of it, and notwithstanding the law has been sharply directed against such p ract i ces . We gave the solution of this probl em yesterday, ' 4 " ' when we said that " the prior condition of the people t h rew into the hands of the factory owners a mass of helpless labourers entirely dependent •;1" on their will."

" The limufi* , :i•worknien dare not inform against the masters; they know that Ale master wollla tarn them off." " The men submit it, becawle they know they cannot better themselves." " They .:.annot get orher-situations." "If the men insisted on hein7 paid in wages, they would have been dis charged."

The Three per Cents. were done on the 2d at 21 7-16 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 26k. We have received the French journals,in which there is not. - -Inuch political news. Dullness reigns over in Euriape. In vain does the King of Pauss.ta make long journeys and longer speeches—in vain does the King of the BEL. amiss ride post from Brussels to Paris, and from Paris back again to Brussels—in vain do con spirators dog Imperial heels on the banks of the Nevaand Spanish patriots make bonfires to cele brate victories over Carlism ; the sombre aspect of dullness is reflected from every country and countenance west of the Caspian. The Paris journals, in a few instances, have made mighty efforts to dissipate the stagnant appearance of things in France. One, fur instance, tried the -blowing up of a bridge by a new infernal ma chine, but it was hardly so much as copied, and only read by printers. The Patrie tried its hand at a report that the Government was about to establish a bench of Bishops in the French Chamber of Peers. The Univers, however, the organ of the.priests, by promptly contradicting this report, leaves no room fur doubt or surmise upon the su:tject. That journal says :--- " The Government is not so enamoured with the clergy as to entertain such an idea, and even if it did, we doubt its being bold enough to risk its realisation. On the other hand, we may safely venture to assure La Patrie that the episcopacy, clergy, and Catholics of France would not see in that act a great subject of joy • and we hesitate not to declare that five prelates would i not be found sufficiently devoted to the existing order of things to accept such a favour with resigna tion. The creation of ecclesiastical peers would but slightly increase the influence and political power of the clergy, and might often compromise its moral power, the only means by which it can hope to bring back to the real faith the men of the present day." There is the usual sprinkling of murders assassinations, and robberies, in the French papers, but the horrible and the disgusting are little read, save by ladies of very nervous tem perament, and the dowagers of a byegone age. The Penny Magazine put an end to the New gate Calendar. We have, however, contrived to glean sundry extracts from the French journals, most of which will be found interesting : The Gazette de France, of Friday evening, contains the following mysterious announcement :—" M. de Molene, Juge d'lnstruction, and M. Mongis, Substitute of the Procureur du Roi, were on Thursday sum moned to Joinville, near Saint-Maur, by a mysterious circumstance, relative to which it is to be hoped that the officials journals will give some explanation. It appears that the preceding morning a dreadful ex plosion took place on the bridge of Joinville from an infernal machine, which was placed there, filled with balls awl other projectiles, by none of which, fortunately, was any person wounded. These Ma gistrates have not been able to discover either the object or the authors of this machine, of which the shattered remains alone were left." The Commerce of Saturday morning, in allusion to the above, says :—" It was not on Tuesday, as the ac count would seem to indicate, that the explosion took place, but on Sunday, before five in the morning. The machine, which was placed under one of the arches which extend over part of the meadow, appears to have been formed of a tin box about a foot long, and it would seem that the hour and place were chosen for no other purpose than to ascertain what effect the apparatus would produce. The pieces of iron inclosed in the box have left their marks on the stone arches, but no real damage has been caused. The authors of this attempt, and their motives, have still to be disco vered. It is said that the persons who were arrested in the first instance by order of the Mayor hare been set at liberty." BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 10. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

We are glad to correct an error which appeared in our Guildhall Police report on Saturday, which might be injurious to a respectable young man. It was stated that " Henry Bulpit and Francis Court were placed before Sir Geo. Carroll, charged," &c., whereas Mr. Court only appeared to give evidence. It will be seen, also, from the report, that after full inquiry, the Magistrate dismissed the charge against Mr. Bulpit, and remarked that " Mr. Bulpit's good character placed him above suspicion of doing wrong." SELFISH NESS AND BEN EVOLENC E.-1V henever you hear a man boast of his honesty, take care of 'our purse, is the advice of the most experienced men of the world. By the same rule, those who preach up benevolence are to be suspected of having a sinister _design to serve themselves. Who so overflowing with the anti-selfish doctrine as the clergy ? who so much : abound in the world's wealth as they, which is hooked out of other people's pockets by this doctrine ? Pa triotism and the purest devotion to the public welfare are boasted of by the Tories. Somehow or other their professions are found to be compatible with the gathering great wealth and fixing their talons on political power. We know no surer road to a domi nion over the hearts and minds of dupes than always to speak of selfishness as a carnal sin. We, therefore, understand, and so will the public, what the Morning Post means by trying to run down the selfish and exalt the benevolent principle. They will be prepared to submit to some sacrifice of their selfishness, that the benevolence of the income taxers may be highly gra tified. THE .QUARRELS OF THE MlGHTY.—Something, it appears, all men must have to quarrel about, and while destitution makes men in the manufacturing districts quarrel for their very existence, those who are amply provided for quarrel about the honour of representing the Dublin University in Parliament. Mr. Devonshere Jackson, the present representative, is to be a Judge, a Mr. Smith Solicitor-General for Ireland, and he and a Mr. Hamilton, another Tory. with their respective partisans, including the Irish Government on one side, and its Orange supporters on the other, have gone to loggerheads as to which of them shall succeed Mr. Jackson. Much ink has already flowed on this redoubted quarrel, many tempers have been soured, and, before it is concluded, most likely some heads may be broken. We look on the dispute with the utmost indifference. Whether the one servitor of the Tories or the other succeed, is of no consequence to the public, which only prays that the factions into which the Tories are divided would annihilate each other, without making such a horrid din. When the Whigs sacrificed their friends no noise whatever was made about it. NEW ZEALAND.—Aecording to a Parliamentary Paper just published, the receipts and expenditure of this new colony between the 2d of May and the 31st of December, 1841, amounted to 27,6011., and the expenditure to 33,026/. Among the items in the receipts are 3,072 E. from the Customs, and 20,7461., the proceeds of Land Sales. a few hours resembled a sea of flame. More than 2100 acres of forest are already destroyed; in Bohemia the loss is immense. All human aid seems to be in vain. The wind, which now blows towards Bo hemia, drives the flames down the • mountain, the detachea houses and the villages in the forests, are in the greatest danger. Another account , says that the fire still continued on the 4th. A thousand men were employed in endeavoUringto stop its progress. SEPT. 4.—The day ' before ye3terctv there was a large tire in the village of Vriekebruck, and yesterday we were alarmed at the report that the town of Spandau, in which are the powder magazines, &c:, was in flames ; happily, however, it was only a barn in the suburbs of the town. Yesterday evening a building in. the park was reditced to ashes. Such ac cidents are the more alarming at a time when the scarcity of water is more and more felt.. The Spell awl other streams are extremely low. Restrictions in the consumption of water have been issued in several provincial towns. Our markets are well supplied,- and no rise in prices is to be appre ' hended. The official accounts of the flax and tobacco orops in Silesia is very unfavourable. It says " The flax has totally failed, the drought has done so much injury to the tobacco, that the very most that can be expected is an average crop." COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2.—The harvest in Zealand is nearly over; three weeks have sufficed for it. In some .parts the winter corn has failed; the summer corn was never finer. It is very heavy and abundant. Nobody ever remembers to have seen it yield so amply the barley is particularly remarkable for its fine colour. The accounts from Fuhnen are not so favourable.—liamburgh Papers, Sept 9. HAMBU RGH BORSEN HALLE, SEPT. 9. Bills. Money.

The greater demand for money was most visible in the afternoon, but a higher rate than two per cent. could not be obtained, at which there were eager lenders. Letters to the 14th of May have been received from Port Phillip. The intelligence from the settlement is favourable, both as regards imports and the prospect for colonial produce. The large quantity of cottons and other articles had been gradually worked off, and prices had proportionably increased. This intelligence, coupled with that by the overland mail, appears to lead to the conclusion that affairs in Australia are in a state of progressive advancement. AlthDugh the re sult of the last sales of wool did not show such high prices as those previously had done, yet it would seem that a high profit was given to the grower. It attempts against the Mont e Vid eans , w hi c h com pletely may be h ere remarked, that quite a new feature has of late arisen in th is article—that of l a r ge quanti ties of our colonia l p roduce now bein g ex ported to Gerfaan, upon which country we for years were dwholly dependent for our supplies.

A few letter s from Buenos Ayres up to the I st of July, state th at no alteration had occurred either in political or com mer cial affairs ; the latter were as bad as they well could be. Rosas was exerting every effort to get mone y , in order to provide for his paralysed all commercial op e rations. No al terations had taken place in the rate of exchange. (From flee Sun of Last Night.) The prices of the English Funds continue flat, with but little business; jobbers, however, do not appear inclined to force stock upon the market, and hence business is solely confined to real investments. In the present state of the market, the effect of the payment of the October dividends is looked for with some anxiety, the current rate for the employment of money for commercial pur poses not exceeding 24 per cent. ; when the sums thus issued are thrown upon it, it is suFposed that the speculators for a fall, should there be any, will be severe losers.

SUMMARY OF NEWS' AND Viublte Optitton. " il'ho runs may lead.' w 0.~~1~ dti'„ The leading articles of the French journals are either on subjects respecting which all the interest, as far as the public at large are concerned, has been ex- hausted,, or respecting which they _feel no interest at all. The Constitutionnel has devoted two columns to remarks , on the recent ordonnance of the King of Prussia, and it promises to return to the subject. The • Courrier Francais, arguing upon the old adage that where there is a great deal of smoke there must be some fire, observes that there must have been some foundation for the various rumours which have been current of an attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Russia, and then goes on seriously to account for the supposed danger in which the life of the Emperor is placed by the despotic manner he exercises his power over his subjects, and more particularly over Poland. The Grand Duke of Baden having sent the Count de Lassolaye to Strasburgh on the occasion of the visit of the Duke de Nemours, to compliment the Prince in the name of the Grand Duke, General Mar quis de Laplace was sent afterwards to Carlsruhe by the Duke de Nemours to express his thanks for this attention. Before the return of the Marquis de La place, the Grand Duke conferred on him the Cross of the Order of the Lion of Zachringen. Some of the Madrid Journals state that M. Olozaga has been charged by the Spanish Government with a special mission to France and Belgium, and that his departure was to take place in a short time. It is stated that negotiations are on the tapis be tween the Spanish and Dutch Governments, for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce for the introduc tion into Spain of Dutch linens. The Charge d'Affaires of Holland, Baron de Gro vestins, has already submitted the provisions of the s tid Treaty to the Cabinet of Madrid; and as a Com mittee, of which Senor Olozaga is a member, has been appointed to make a Report thereon, the journey of the Hon. Deputy is stated to have reference to that object. _ _ A letter from Desden, September 3, announces the arrival of Prince Milosch in that town on the 28th ult. He dined on the 31it with the Royal Family, at Pillnitz, the day after with the Austrian Minister, and the succeeding day with the Ambassador of Russia. He was received at Court, as well as by the corps diplmnatique, in the most flattering manner. runzac OPINION. - • The Scotsman comments on the impropriety of the Non-Intrusion journals attacking the Queen for not attending worship in the High Church, and says : " Her Majesty comes to . Scotland on a pleasure excursion, and does what the meanest of her subjects is privileged to do—worships God ac cording to the forms 'of the Church of which she is a member; and a set of intolerant bigots represent this simple and proper act as an insult to the people of Scotland, and the harbinger of persecution and despotism ! These per sons, while raving about liberty of conscience, would deny their Sovereign the humble privilege which the Turks grant to their Christian slaves ! Her Majesty may' be very friendly to the Kirk ; but, in its present attitude of defiance to the law, what might be a harm less act of courtesy in other circumstances, would be a sacrifice of her regal dignity." In allusion to the present combination existing among the bakers, the Cambrian remarks :—" We are no advocates for Government interference in matters of trade ; but if tradesmen, especially bakers, com bine in the manner they had done. It is quite time the old system of 'assize ' was restored, and the price of bread fixed by the legislative authorities, as is done at present in Paris." HAMBURGH MAIL. VIENNA, SEPT. 3.—Count Von Mittrowsky, the chief Aulic Chancellor, died yesterday evening. Count Von Medoni, the Russian Ambassador at his Court, is going immediately to Johannisberg, in consequence of instructions from his Court, which is so far worthy of remark, as none of the representa tives of the other great Powers has this time followed Prince Metternich, owing to the present tranquil state of political affairs. • WARSAW, SEPT. I.—The journals of to-day say that a telegraphic dispatch, the date o f w hi c h they do not give, has been received from St. Petersbuqh, announcing that the Grand Duchess Mary, consort of the Imperial Prince Alexander, has been delivered of a Princess, who has received the name of Alexandrina. DRESDEN, SEET. 3.—The scarcity of water, in consequence of which the mills can grind much less than usual, has not only caused the pece of bread in this city to be doubled, but has even caused breed to be scarce. A baker who sold bread of bad quality and short of weight was driven out of the city by the people. Scarcely a day passes without bringing accounts of some great fire. The Leipsz,g. Gazette has a letter from Libentz of September 1, which says, "An awful conflagration, which broke out yesterday at noon, is ravaging the noble forests on the frontiers of Saxony and Bo hemia. •It commenced on the Bohemian side, and in MONEY- TIZADE-COMMERCE. The total amount of property insured against loss by fire in the three kingdoms for the year 1841 was 735,000,0001.; the-gross amount of farming stock in: sured is 50,000,0001. Steady trade is again expected at Halifax. At Man chester fears of a reaction in the cotton districts have operated on the market this last week, and the sale of cloths has diminished. Rochdale and Leeds have im proved, but at Bradford buyers have been scarce, and prices a shade lower. Though the towns of Manchester and Salford re main quiet, there are several thousands who have not yet 'resumed work. At Staleybridge, where the strike first commenced, the bulk of hands has gone in, but the rest are very unsettled. At Bolton all the mills are at work; at Bury, all but two. ECCLESIASTICAL. The venerable N. Strong, D.D., Archdeacon of Northampton, and Canon of Peterborough, expired at his residence at Peterborough, on Thursday, the Bth inst., aged 87. Dr. Ireland, the late Dean of Westminster, was the son of a tradesman in Devon. Ile made a continental tour as tutor to a Nobleman's son about the time of the French Revolution. On his return he became Vicar of. Cr qdcn, married a lady nearly related to the Baring family, and from the preferment of a pre henchry rose to his deanship. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The shipof Perth, laden with cotton, struck, on the 2d of March last, on a reef named Helen's shoal, near Dampier's Straits, and shortly after sank. The crew were saved by means of boats, and after suffering great privations, were picked up by a London vessel bound for Alanilla, where they were landed. She was a fine vessel, and owned by Thomas Graham and Sons, of Perth. LAW .11.1%1D POLICE: Three men and one woman were brought before the Magistrates at Manchester, on Friday, charged with conspiring to create a turn•out of hands at the mills. They were all committed for trial. Pardon was preliminarily offered to two of the men if they would return to work, but to prove themselves true "flints" they preferred the chance of hard labour and imprisonment. LITEIZATLY AND SCIENTXPIC. Professor Liebig, the distinguished chemist, at tended several scientific meetings in Leeds and Wake field last week ; he is only 32 years of age, and travels with Dr. Playfair. THEATILICAX,. Rossini's Semiramide will be brought out at Covent Garden without delay • the two principal characters being personated by Miss A. Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw, being the first appearance of the latter on the English stage. Fanny Ellsler arrived at Berlin on the 29th ult., and in the evening was serenaded by the members of the orchestra of the Imperial theatre, under her in dows at the Hotel d'Ems. She has engaged to dance twenty nights at Berlin. SPORTING. The great sale of blood stock by Messrs. Tattersall awl Son, consisting of the Earl of Chesterfield's and the Hon. George Anson's stud, took place at Bretby Park, on Friday. All the high-priced horses put, up at from 1,000 to 2,000 guineas were, without excep tion, Nought in. A bay filly, by Touchstone, pro duced 300 guineas, but the rest of the sales were al most wholly confined to those under 100 guineas. COURT-PASMONII.I3LE: The Queen Dowager has taken the mansion and grounds of Lord De Mauley, called Cranford Park, for two years, and intends, by the advice of her phy sicians, to pass the winter there. Lord De Grey is expected from Frankfort, in St. James's-square, at the close of the week. Earl Powlett has returned to Hinton St. George, Somersetshire, from a tour. Lord and Lady John Russell intend to remain at Endsleigh Cottage, Devonshire, until the first week in November, and then they intend to return to Bel grave-square, for her Ladyship's confinement. Sir Robert Peel is expected to visit the Duke of Northumberland, at Alnwick, on his return from Edinburgh. MISCELLANEOUS. The preparations for the Worcester Musical Festival are rapidly completing, and with the new gal leries, and the other seats, accommodation will be afforded to 2,500 and upwards. M. Gudin, the painter, has had the Order of t.:k Lion of the Netherlands conferred on him by the King of Holland. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal have been taken their accustomed drives and airings in the Park to-day, both in the morning and afternoon, the Dow ager Lady Lyttelton accompanying the Royal infants during their excursions. _ This morning the Queen Dowager arrived at Frog more Lodge, and lunched with her Royal Highness the Dttchess of Kent. Her Majesty was attended from Bushy by her Lady in Waiting. In the afternoon the Queen Dowager and the Duchess of Kent left Frogmore in a pony phaeton, for a drive in the Great Park, another pony phaeton following, containing Lady Charlotte Dundas, Lady in Waiting on the Du c h ess o f K ent, an d t h e L a d y i n Waiting on the Queen Dowager.

This very elegant little house opened for the winter season last night, having in the recess under gone extensive and very decided improvements. The whole of the house has been thoroughly cleansed and re-decorated, and a very handsome new drop scene, painted by Mr. James, contribtites not a little to the general improvement in the internal appearance of the house. The performances commenced with a new drama in two acts , by the author of Susan Hopley, e n titl e d Th e Lawless of London ; or, the Sharper's Progress. We cannot enter into the plot of the piece, which may almost be guessed at from the title. Suffice it that it is a clever, lively drama, founded on the ways of life, and one for which we predict a long and suc cessful run. Mr. Parry played the part of Mr. Ikey Paris, an old Jew Fence, to admiration. Reeve as Samuel .Wentworth, Esq.; Moss, as Fred. Lambert ; Manders, ,as Tom Gag, a reporter to the Viper; and Miss Rogers, as Lucy Clare, enacted their respective roles in a most truthful and admirable manner. Mr. Parry was unanimously called for at the conclusion of this piece, and announced it for repetition every night till further notice. William Thomson and Paul of Russia concluded the entertainments. The house was crowded with an attentive audience. RUSSIAN ILLIBERALITY.- -Count Strogonoff, Russian Home Minister, lost his post last year fur resisting the confiscation of the property of the Catholic Church. Count Benkendurf nearly fell a victim to the same obloquy. Count Nesselrode himself dared not ask the pardon of a poor mother, who was imprisoned for com plaining that her chiklren were turn from her.to b e educated in the Greek religion. The intervention, of the Empress herself was necessary to save the Princess Voleftuusky, and obtain a commutation of her punishment to exile.—Paris Univers, THE SLIDING SCALE.—A failure is an nounce d i n ‘H a mburgh, owing to corn speculation s , the house . o f Graham and Co in that city having suspended payments.
