' 1 ley regard England as an injured country, and • mind revenge. They are sentimental or Tr. tudlin in their resentment, and exclaim against ingratitude as well as the injustice of the 1 "riiited States. Even homilies on the weakness h* folly of mankind are served up, and the sil li of the free-trader is demonstrated - at once b the conduct of the Congress. " No nation," ! are fretfully told, " responds to the sacrifice o: Great Britain , : Great things were expected • •in the influence of our example, and the result , .n utter failure." "Glorious reciprocity this. A ✓ Ile specimen of the blessings of one-sided free t :1.%" oul readers, we hope and believe, have not • mipletely torgotton what happened during the la session of Parliament, as to suppose with the wy writers that Great Britain either then • a move towards free-trade in respect of A nerica, or that America has shown a want of p :;itude and right feeling, as wall as a due ap t r* elation of her own sellainterest, in passing her it' may be as well, however, to remind tl :gym—the writers alluded to would be sorry not .aave forgotten, as they would then want every • vnse for their attempts • to mislead the publi c ,t• what actually happened. :h e . first treat commercial measure brought for aard laist session as the Corn-law ; and it was • earnestly impressed on Sir R. PEEL and the ari 'use, by Mr. ,Tuoaaa in Lay particular, and of .er Hoti.,Members, that the great comparative d 'ranee of America rendered ' • the sliding scale p t .7illiarly obnoxious to her. She could never • ry on any corn trade with this country, it was to any extent under that scale, because the • -.•ing averages rendered all such trade, w i t h a cc mtry so distant, peculiarly uncertain. An om. er might be sent for a cargo of corn when ti markets were rapidly rising, and before it cc Lid be brought in great importations poured in rem the neighbouring Continent, or from the Lt Cc ports, might beat down the markets, a:n ruin the importers. This view seems amply co rimed by fleas. It appears, by the tables p , b.ished by the .House of Commons, that the tt ,a 1 quantity cif wheat imported into this cc itry was, in 1537, 455,871 quarters; in Ib3B, 1, : , 41,460 quarters; in 1839, 0,634.556 quarters; at 1, in laaa, 1,903,a 53 a quarters—while from th • United States, that great country which • supply twice as much as we have imported frc .a all the world, there c only came, in 1837, 1:1C 555 cwt. of flour ; in 1838, . quarters of - • .oat, and 19,550 cwt. or flour; in 1839, 3,76t3 q vrters of wheat, and 432,742 cwt. of flour a e, in 1840, 73,055 quarters of wheat, and 9; ~1 46 7 cwt. of flour. It was proved, tl aefbrea that our Corn-law, in conse q, .ence of the sliding:scale, was peculiarly and er Thatically injurious to the United States, and ▪ attempts were made to alter the mode of tr. 7.; the averages, or collecting the duties, so as to render the operation of the law, if possible, equal for the most distant and the nearest coun tries. Both were rejected. Lord HOWTCK, there fore, said with great propriety on May 13, when he moved his resolution relative to the differen tial duties.— They had already passed one measure, which was contrary to the principles, if not to the very letter, of the reciprocity system. I-14 alluded to the Corn Im portation Act, the sliding scale of which operatedu4ustly against distant countries. As that measure was calcu lated to injure the United States of America in their trade with us, it was the more particularly necessary in any other changes they made to avoid inflicting on them any new blow of the same kind. The new Corn-law, therefore, justly as the Americans might hope to see. that odious . law abolished, from a regard to our own interests, was a blow at the trade of the United States. It struck down many well-founded expectations, and converted many an American, willing to be a commercial friend, into a commercial opponent, obliged to seek a market elsewhere than Eng land for his produce. But what was the new blow aimed at the United States? Lord llowtcx shall explain, and we will afterwards show that, in other respects, our new regulations have given a blow to America, of which their tariff, that has hit the English manufacturers so hard, is only the rebound. " Now, in the very first sc h e d u l e o f t h e amen d e d t a riff," said Lord flowick, "a new protective duty was to be granted to the colonies in the article of provisions, which would materially affect our trade with America. In salted provisions he believed it possible that a considerable trade might grow up be tween this country and America. Was it, then, wise or politic in the present :late of public opinion in both countries, to grant our colonies the right of sending us salted provisions at one-fourth of the duty paid on the article when imported from foreign countries ?" " Cheese and butter now paid at the same rate when imported from our colonies, as when imported from abroad." " But under the proposed tariff the duties were to be reduced to one-fourth the duty on foreign, as regarded those articles . of consumption when im ported from our own colonies." Precisely as by this new scheme of differential duties, we bestowed advantages on the colonies, so have the Americans, by their tariff, bestowed advantages on their Lowell manufacturers. If we blame the Americans let us also blame Sir R. PEEL for setting them this bad example. But this part of the tariff, as it affects the United States, can only be duly appreciated in conjunc tion with another measure passed, last session, the Colonial Customs' Act. If there had been no other duties than the new differential duties. the United States might have sent their butter and cheese through Canada to England as Cana dian produce, just as they have sent a consider able quantity of American timber. The Colonial Customs' Act, for the first time, imposed a duty on American flour when imported into Canadi of 2s. the barrel, on salt meat of 3s. per cwt., on butter of Ss. per cwt., on cheese ss. per cwt. Now these and several other duties were imposed last session on American produce, and imposed in practice exclusively on that, not by name, but in fact. " By the present system," said Mr. Labouchere on the 15th of April, " the article of wheat flour and cured provisions were allowed to cross the borders of the United States into Canada without paying any duty whatever. That principle was adopted by the House in 1831, on a full consideration of the ques tion." Under the plan of Lord Sydenham, which was now the law, salted provisions were imported into Canada from the United States free, as far as the Im perial Parliathent was concerned. Government now proposed a duty of 30 per cent. on salted provisions and cured meat." In spite of Mr. LABOUCHERE, Government per sisted in inflicting this new blow on the trade with the United States, and from the consequence of its acts we are now suffering. It always appeared to us that the most promi nent feature in the new tariff was a desire to check the increase of trade with America. The duty on its staple export, cotton, though the re duction of it would have been of infinite advan tage to our manufacturers, was obstinately main tained, when great reductions were made in other articles, at its old rate. It is just possible that the United States might import coarse articles of ma nufactured cotton into this country, but not pro bable that it will import linen. But " The cotton manufactures of our colonies," said . Lord Howick, " was protected, and the linen was not. There was no less a difference than .50 per cent. between the amount of duty chargeable on cotton manufactures coming from our colonies, and on those coming from foreign countries, while on the duty on linen manufacture there was no difference." In practice, at least, that is a blow aimed at the American cotton manufacture, not asked 'for by our own cotton manufacturers. By the most noted reductions in our duties, such as those on live cattle, the Americans must rather lose than gain, for they cannot send us live cattle, and the importation of them from the Continent will beat down the price of the salted meat which the Americans can send. Again, the Americans used to supply us, througb:Canada with much timber, and the alteration in our timber duties, made with a view to restore the Baltic trade, which improper duties had de stroyed, and with a view to prevent England becoming wholly dependent on America for timber, was not advantageous to the United States. From the alterations made in our tariff, which is not favourable to the United States, from the Colonial Customs' Act, which imposed new duties on American produce, and from our new system of differential duties, which conferred ad vantages on our colonies, as contradistinguished from the United States, we conclude that the measures of last session were very injurious to American trade, and we believe that they were intended to be injurious. It would be advisable for our writers to look closely and attentively at home before they reproach the Americans. The evil, however, has now been mutually inflicted, and our present business is to consider the remedy. We would suggest that England reverie her own practices instead of extending and enforcing them by new duties. The abolition of the duty on raw cotton or wool, and on all the materials, dye-stuffs, &c., used in manufacture, together with the abo lition of the food taxes, would enable our manu facturers to work so cheaply as to undersell the Americans in their own market. That would be a noble revenge, and certain to be successful. It is generally understood in legal circles, that Mr. Charles Phillips, the barrister, is to have a lucrative appointment under the new Bankruptcy Act passed in the last session.—Observer.

The marriage of Sir John Hay Williams, Bart., .and .the Lady Sarah Amherst, which was performed on the Bth instant at St. George's Church, Hanover square, has been celebrated in various parts of North Wales in a manner to evince a strong feeling of re spect towards the house of Bodlewyddan. • At the ancient city of St. Asaph, several oxen and fat sheep were cut up on the wedding-day, and distri buted, together with loaves of bread and packets of tea, to upwards of five hundred poor families residing in the parish. A rich wedding bun was given to the child ren of the Workhouse Schools by the Rev. William Cleaver, and those of the National Schools had a dinner at their respective establishments, the Bishc p pre siding over th 4 of the boys, and the Misses Lux moores that of the girls. Various rural sports diverted the populace till evening, and, at five o'clock, upwards of seventy gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, rrovided upon the occasion, at the Lion Inn, which passed off in a manner that made all parties wish such meetings were oftener held (as they tend to cement all classes of society in a stronger bond of union, if they always parted with the same pleasing reflections as all did in this instance). A similar gathering also took place on the day following at the Plough, where about eighty sat down to a very good dinner, and separated at a late hour, highly delighted with the festive proceedings. On Saturday the 10th, from sixty to seventy dined also in celebration of the happy event, at the Bodle wyddan Arms, Abergele ; and at' the Bee Hotel, in . that place, upwards of sixty gentlemen sat down to a splendid dinner on Monday the 12th. Thus all classes have been vieing in their demonstration of respect to the worthy Baronet and his noble bride, who, on Tuesday the 13th, were expected to arrive at their beautiful mansion, • extensive preparations being made at St Asaph for their reception. The little city never looked so gay, teeming as it did with human beings of all the various classes of society, and all with happy countenances ; flags and banners Vaiv- Mg in the breeze, while every house was decorated with festoons of drapery and flowers. Music commin gled with delightful anticipations, yet all ended in dis appointment, for though the ardent throng awaited till night had spread her sable garb o'er the animated scene, the bridal carriage 'c ame n ot ; and, after seeing a splendid display of fireworks, which the Pyro technist exerted himself to produce, as some amends for the otherwise gloomy peroration of the clay, all of the vast assemblage repaired to their respective homes, without one intimation as to the time the happy pair would arrive ; yet a spontaneous concourse filled the streets on the morrow, in anxious hope of the happy arrival, and a vague rumour was circu lated about noon that they were on their way through the vale. A messenger arrived from two to three o'clock with the pleasing news that the bridal party would be at Pont Davydd at four o'clock. This bridge was the place fixed upon to greet them with an address, and the carriage (amidst the hearty cheers of the multitude) drew up under the first of the triumphal arches erected upon it in honour of the auspicious event, and which had a banner floating on its top, bearing the inscription of "Welcome to Cam bria ;" and in this romantic spot it was that the Rev. William Hicks Owen, Senior Vicar, surrounded and supported by the elite of the neighbonrhood, read the following address, beautifully engrossed on vellum : " Sir John,—lt is a source of unfeigned gratifica tion to all your friends and neighbours, from the highest to the lowest, in the city and parish of St. Asaph„to avail themselves of this opportunity of ten dering to you their hearty congratulations upon your marriage, as we beg to assure you, that on the present occasion, all ranks and parties have been unanimously influenced by a zealous anziety to testify their attach ment to the house of Bodlewyddan, and to welcome you and your noble bride with every demonstration of affectionate respect to the halls of your fathers." " Lady Sarah,—We hail your entrance into the principality, with all the cordiality of true hearted Welshmen • and while we regard your arrival amongst us as the pledge of many future blessings to your home and neighbourhood, we trust that the land of your adoption my become every day more and more endeared to y ou .' Signed on behalf of the inhabitants of the city and parish of St. Asaph, by the unanimous direction of a numerous meeting held in the Vestry-room, the 12th day of September, 1842, W. H. ONVEN, T. W. EDWARDS, Vicars Choral of St. JOHN JONES, Asaph. W. R.. WYATT, EDWARD ROBERTS, 1 HUGH EVANS, Churchwardens of ABEL JONES, St. Asaph. JOHN JONES, To this Address Sir John responded in the following terms : " My dear Friends and Neighbours,—We scarcely know how to offer you our acknowledgments for the hearty and ,affectionate address which you have just presented to us, but we are anxious first to account to you, in a few words, for the now unfortunate cir cumstance of our non-appearance yesterday. Owing to a mistake in the post-office the important letters mentioning the magnitude of the preparations for the reception you kindly designed us, did riot reach me during our stay at East Harnstead Park as they should have done; and therefore, not aware of the importance of keeping to the day originally named, I gave way to the wish of introducing Lady Sarah to our beautiful country by the most favourable line of road from Llangollen through the Yale of Clwyd, and it was not until our arrival this morning at Ruthin, that 'we became aware of the extreme in convenience which we fear we have so unconsciously caused you, and which is to us a subject of the most poignant regret. " Laly Sarah now begs me, in her own name, as well as my own, to express to you our grateful thanks for these most unexpected and overwhelming proofs of your regard, which are to us flattering in the extreme, snd which we can only hope most earnestly to con tinue to deserve. 66 JOIIN HAY WILLIAMS. 66 SARAH ELIZABET H HAY WILLIAMS. the sympathy o f ki n dred ;h l is .lt i l l - i ,a S s e a pt e , r l io B d 42 e . v " incing actions, and depicting the best feelings of human na ture—A scene which no pen can describe, and those of our readers who have visited this Eden of Wales can alone have an idea of the magnificence of the lo cality. St. Asaph may be said to be the Principality in miniature, and this bridge, which crowned the meandering Clwyd, is the centre of an amphitheatre of beauty and sublimity. The band having struck up a marching tune, the whole procession moved towards' the city, and when the carriage arrived under the second triumphal' arch, at the end of Chester-street, three cheers, with a loud shout of joy, were given, and proceeding down the gigh-street, every window in which was filled with ladies, waiving their white kerchiefs, the worthy Bishop of the diocese being, with his amiable lady, among the many that waited along the line to compliment the happy bride and bridegroom, who, having arrived un d er th e third tri umphal arch, on the centre of the Elwy. bridge, another hearty cheering demonstration took place, and upon the arrival of the whole at the open space by the Deanery gates, where the pedestrians, headed by a band cf music, filed off on their return to the city, cheers and huzzai, that made the very welkin ring, were given. Then upwards of a hundred of the gentry on horseback preceded the carriage, and the Abergele Lodge, 1,284, of the Ancient Order of Foresters, also upon horseback, clad in green, and bearing the in signia of the order, following the same, and arriving their honoured kind Ba a r i at the Gl asgoe d-lodge en t rance to Bod arriving ewyddanParl, they for me d i n t o a cre scen t, an d th e t ru ly h a ppy an d oxt m a a g g a n in ifi ni ce c n xs t t feelingly thanked all for ' reception, and entered his domains amidst the enthusiastic cheers of his as sembled frieads and neighbours. These kind demonstrations were not confined to St. Asaph alone, but Rboscolvn, Llanelian, Llanwenll wyfo, Llanexebymedd, Pentraeth, and other places in the island of Anglesea. Llanarmon7 , yn - YalP and other districts in Denbighshire, equally evinced their kindred feeling of respect to the house of Bodlewyddan, by various modes of rejoicings, and many a peak of Cambria's hills was illumined with a bonfire, as a token of the general gladness. On Saturday the Committee o, dommon Council on the salary and die Borough, came to th e reso l u ti on to reduce the salary of that office to 610/. A s t r ange report has got f the of Nigh Bailiff of th e abroad that the Court of Aldermen is opposing th e election of Mr. Alder man W oo d to the dignity of Lord Mayor, because he started as a candidate for the office of High Bailiff, i n opposition to the ir candidat e , Sir William neYgate. The truth is (says a Correspon dent), the Court has espouse d the interest of no candi lat9 for this office, it being a principle with many oi them, like Sir Peter Laurie, not to support any inem her who has a vote in the Court of Common Council in seeking to be especial) v as appointed to ap I. lace of profit in the ift of that Court, es Common Councilmen 1.1. e prevented by rule from becoming candidates, and Aldermen should re f ra i n f rom o ff e ring, as being equally within the reason' o f t h e ru l e.

We have first, a lead ing article upon a fatal duel, between the Political Chief of Cadiz, and the Editor of a paper, in which the combatants fired at what the Spaniards call " clothes burning proximity," and after exchanging more fire than would frighten a company of grena diers, we are glad to say, for the honour of our trade, craft, vocation, or cloth, that the Editor shot the Poli tical Chief. There are very odd modes of revenge, and the Editor of the Cadiz Globe being unpopular, the mob, to punish him for killing the Commander-in- Chief, went and destroyed all his type-frames and presses, burning even his clothes, which was a s econ d point of the Spanish " clothes-burning proximity." Let the Editor of the London Globe, called The Globe and Traveller, beware of shooting a Commander-in-Chief, either Lord Hill, or the Duke of Wellington, for, if he does, he will have all his types and his wardrobe destroy ed; though, what good this could do to anybody, we are at a loss to discover. If we shoot Mr. Piumptre, Sir Andrew Agnew, Colonel Sipthorp e , o r the Scoth preacher that goes by the cant name of Irving's Ghost, we beseech the Commissioner of Police to protect our types, and all that is in our wardrobes which is typical of gentility. Next follows an ac count of four wonderfully beautiful horses, sent as a present to her Majesty, by the Queen of Spain, a child of twelve years of age, and the tails of which, we are seriously assured, reach to within an inch of the ground. What a superb subject to occupy the space of a political journal in such direful times as these. Another journal assures us that these tails are enormously large tails as compared to English horse-tails. Why were not these horses sent to Turkey as a present to some three-tailed Bashaw ? The Spanish groom assures her Majesty that these horses are peculiarly large and full with respect to fatness. We only wish that her Majesty could say the same thing of her own 'Working classes ; but they are very empty, both in pockets, stomachs, and too often in their heads. As England is the greatest of all countries in the world for breeds of horses, apd as Spain has never been famed but for breed of asses, the case of the present to the Queen is much worse than that of sending coals to Newcastle. The Queen rather snubs the present, for immediately she sees these four very long-tailed horses, she gives two of them to Prince Albert. We next come to the third wonder which occupies the invaluable space of the Leading Journal of Europe. A pair of colours has been presented to the 16th Regiment, and who was selected to present them, with the accompanying speechifications ? Was it a surgeon and apothecary, a dentist, a corn-doctor, a horse-doctor, or anything of the sort ? No, the gal lant regiment would not put up with such inconsis tency. Was it the Attorney-General, the Solicitor- General, or the Solicitor to the Treasury, to the Society for the S - ippression of Vice, that presented these colours to the 16th Regiment? Did any distinguished General present them ? Oh no ; the Colonel selected for the purpose—a what ?—why a clergyman. Could this Colonel Campbell have made a wiser man of him self had he chosen one of his sergeants to preach a visitation sermon instead of selecting a clergyman to present a set of colours to a regiment? Never was a parson more out of place, and they are the last people in the world that like to be without a place. What are we to come to next ? Shall we come to a state of society in which, as of yore, not a dose of medicine could be delivered out by a priest, or with a priest's blessing! It is thoroughly disgraceful to think of a clergyman presenting colours to a regi ment. The parson said that the profession of arms and love of God were compatible. When a soldier is running his sword or bayonet through another man for hire, a man who never offended him, we suspect that he has more love for his pay than for God ; or at least his ideas of God are not ours. We have no love for gwoudss excessive; bloodshed. essi ve; the regiment e t n o t m Am tom-foolery complimented oleryonthis o occasion its slon battles under Marlborough, at which period scarcely the great grandfather of a single soldier in it could have I had martial exist ence; an d t h en t hi s very wise man, Col. Campbell, who certainly is the most superlative speci men of wisdom that modern times has produced, gravely tells the black-surpliced parson, with his flag of many colours, that for snore than fifty years the regiment had never fronted ass enemy, and that the last time the regiment appeared in the field was sixty-three years ago, when they laid down their arms, and sus , sendered thegsselves as prisoners on the glacis of Baton-rouge. Really, our officers are themselves either idiots, or they are over-cunning, and too easily take for granted that their privates are idiotic. The whole of this proceeding of getting the clergyman to present colours to a regiment seems a premedi tated insult, a hoax upon the army. We wonder how the soldiers will like the quiz. The regiment has not been in fight for fifty years. It is a parson and not a military man that presents these colours, and the day selected for the parson's presenting them with - Jolours is the sixty-third anniversary of their laying town their arms and surrendering unconditionally to iso French, after which the regiment has never been employed, although the intermediate period has bees. the most fighting era that Europe ever saw. When will the clergy cease to expose themselves, or suffer themselves to be exposed as fools, or as something much worse ? The next honour done to the 16th Foot will be to grant its Colonel (Viscount Beres 'tsrd), a white' feather ; and Lieut.-Colonel Campbell a wooden sword. It is disgusting to see the army so and especially by saintism. lisgraced, The Right Hon. Fox Maule, when at Taymouth Castle as the guest of the Marquis of Breadalbane, during the Queen's visit to that magnificent seat, wore on the first evening at dinner a superb brooch of consi derable value to confine his plaid on the shoulder. Her Majesty was pleased to admire it, and on the succeeding morning th e Ri g ht Hon. Gentleman presented it to her Majesty, by whom it was, graciously accepted, and both at Taymouth and Drummond Castle the brooch wag used by the Queen in the velvet plaid of the Royal Stuart tartan, worn every evening during dinner by her Majesty. -Irk c; Vs , ara ,4401, 'vbitte SUN OFFICE Three o' Clock. The grand public dinner given to Lord Asir- BURTON in New York on the Ist—particulars of which wiil be Ibund in another part of The Sun of this day—is a sign of the times, as re spects the connection between England and the United States, of the most auspicious import. The dinner was given at Astor House, and is desei ibed by the local journals " as one of the most important and interesting fetes that ever took place in America." Between two and three thousand citizens had previously been introduced to his Lordship at the Civic Hall, who warmly congratulated him On the fortunate termination of his labours; but indeed during the whole period of his stay at Naw York, he seems to have been re ceived by all classes with the utmost respect and cordiality. To this agreeable fact Lord ASH BURTON makes allusion in his speech, dwelling on it with grateful emphasis, as a strong proof of the mutual attachment that—notwithstanding the differences that have from time to time arisen—still exists, and, in all human probability will long continue to exist, between England and America. " I am bound to state," added his Lordship, "and I do it • with sincere pleasure, that I have met with nothing on the part of the authorities of this country, but the same earnest feeling of good will, and the same desire for honourable peace, with which I have my self been animated ; and amongst all the memories which I shall carry to the grave, none will be superior to those con nected with the lastact °filly life which brought me here, and which has so successfully terminated." There is an unaffected earnestness and sincerity of feeling in these few and simple remarks very unusual with diplomatists ; and they appear to have made instant way to the hearts of all . who heard them. But the Americans seem from the very first to have been prepared to receive his Lordship with cor diality—a proorthat his appointment was a judi cious one, though some of our Contempories thought otherwise; and that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S foresight did not lead him into error, when he calculated that Lord ASHBURTON'S commercial education, and plain, business-like turn of mind, would tell greatly in his favour with Jonathan, whose strong practical sagacity naturally leads him to assess such qualities at a very high va luation. The spirit displayed by all present at the din ner to which we have been alluding, was of the most satisfactory character possible. The diffe rent speakers seemed to vie with each other in the expression of their delight at the prospect of a lasting peace between the two countries; and Mr. EVANFJ, of Maine, who took a part in the negotiations, warmly declared, " in the ma nagement of this Treaty there has been a frank ness—an openness—an earnest desire to settle all difficulties without dissimulation, displayed on both sides, which, it seems, beyond a doubt, has laid the foundation for a long, a lasting, and a glorious peace between Great Britain and America." Cheering words, and, we trust, prophetic! Two mighty nations like this country and the United States, who, between them, en gross almost the entire commerce of the world; who are constantly acting and' eacting upon each other; and whom steam has brought into such close fellowship together, that one may be said to be the other's next-door neighbour ;—nations, situated like these two, and speaking, besides, the same language, glowing with the same generous love' of freedom, possessing the same energies, and of necessity deeply interested in what concerns each other's welfare ; nations, we repeat,• so situated, should never so much as dream of going to war, for it is a game 'from which—be the results what they may— both must rise up losers to a considerable amount. Peace—lasting peace between England and the United States should be—as it no doubt is—the fervent wish of every good man in both coun tries. Lord ASHBURTON'S mission has done much to insure this .desirable object; • it has dispersed the dark clouds • that sortie months ago hung over the politiCal prospects of both countries; and implanted in the, breast of America a kindlier feeling towards the mother country than she has experienced for years past. Thus thinking-, we feel so charitably disposed towards Lord ASHBURTON, that we are almost tempted to forgive him for his past sins of apostacy, and to regard him as a disinterested public benefactor, even though h e was once a Whig, and is now a Tory. We believe no man ever was so cordially hated as Sir R. PEEL is by the Old Tories. They moved heaven and earth to raise a cry in his favour at the general election, and when he was fairly installed in Downing-street, they looked forward with great complacency to the mighty deeds he was to perform for the extension of the Established Church, the protection of the agricultural interest, and the dominion - of tlit • party in Ireland which claims King ERNEST as their patron ; but on all these points they have been yufully disappointed. No Whig or Radi_ c d is half so bitter against this great Conserva tive leader, as the old English gentleman, who gives daily that ancient and praiseworthy toast, "Church and State." The agricultural interest, however, appears to suffer more under his inflictions than all the others together ; tar while Churchmen and Orangemen, and the whole race of Conservatives, only anticipate evil, the landlord and tenant actually feel the effects of his dangerous policy. The prices of cattle at all the late fairs have fallen ; enormous quantities of corn have been imported ; and when the 10th of October comes, and American pork is ad mitted at the reduced duty, the trade of the zraziers and pig-feeders will be at an end. All these calamities, too, come upon them in direct contradiction ofsolemn statements of Sir R. PEEL, backed by the opinions of political economists. They were assured that no cattle could be brought from Spain, and that the number which could be introduced from Holland and Germany would be so small, that it could have no other effect on the English market than to keep prices steady ; yet they are pouring in from all quar ters, and, consequently, have caused a loss to the graziers' of about 31. a head. " The new tariff, in fact," says a Tory journal, " threatens destruction to the agricultural capital and in dustry of England;" and the writer, therefore, argues that it will prove subversive of that agri cultural system on which the greatness of Eng land rests. The opinionsofpersons wh ocan advance such a doctrine require no notice, for it is a well ascertained fact, that but for the manufacturing interest, which gives rise to our vast trade and commerce, England would have been at pre sent only a fifth-rate Power. We feel no such alarm at the fall of prices, be cause it arises more from anticipation than reality, and when the panic has subsided prices will, in all probability, become more favourable to the farmer. In the meantime, the public in general will feel the advantage, trade will be encouraged by the cheapness of provisions, and another bond of union between this country and other States will be established. An order appeared in a Supplement to the Friday'S Gazette to hold the Speciai Commission which is nosy issued for the trial of offenders in lancashire, at Liverpool. This order was mt.de under an Act passed during the reign of the late KING, which enables the Privy Council to select places for holding assizes and sessions. It seems to have excited some surprise in Lancashire, and may occasion some incon venience ; but if our conjecture as to the motives which dictated it be correct, it is deserv ing of praise.• It probably' spares some expense, the greater number of prisoners to be tried being in the Salford and Kirkdale gaols. But the principal motive, we apprehend, for the, rr - movn.l <:i°:.. in any part of Lancashire, it be in the kei:;,il bourhood, we should suppose, of Liverpool. We, own, however, that we are inclined to think that it will be impossible at present to find an. impartial Jury in Lancashire. The passions and animosities of all classes have been deeply excited by the late turn-out. It con cerned a question that comes personally home to all the employers and all the employed in that large district. Juries are, as the rule, taken from only one class ; and therefore we are afraid that it will be impossible now to find impartial jury men in Lancashire. We do not suppose eaat they will strain the law, or strain their con sciences,buttheir minds are pre-occupied, and they will not give to the circumstances which influ enced the conduct of the workmen that conside ration which they ought to receive, and on which depend much of the guilt or innocence of the parties. - We are not quite convinced that even chang ing the venue to a different county, and appoint ing the Commission to sit in Middlesex, for ex ample, could now ensure a Jury, to try questions concerning workmen and employers, with perfect impartiality, but we are pretty sure that it cannot be obtained in Lancashire. We throw no blame on the individuals, but on the Jury system, which, however admirable as a means of protect ing the rights of the people, and doing strict jus tice on ail questions in which the people and the CroWn come into conflict, seems not well calcu lated to do justice in questions concerning wages and strikes, and the consequences of disputes between workmen and muilters. Ap pointing the Commission to sit 'at Liver pool is perhaps as good a means to avoid these evils as can be found, but it will be, we are afraid, quite inadequate. By referring to the subject, and putting jurors on their'guard against their own bias, , we may do some good; and therelbre we call on them to remember, that in the nature of things, on the subject of the late turn-out, they cannot hope to be impartial. Madrid journals, which we receive of the dates of the 17th and 18th, are more occupied with the circumstances of the late duel in Cadiz than with aught else. The Madrid Gazette publishes a circular •of the Minister of Justice, enjoining the tribunals to prosecute duelling with the utmost rigour of the law. Appended to this document is an article recommending public functionaries" not to over step the limits within which the law has circum scribed them," and " never to enter into any polemique with the journals about matters ol ad ministration." The Government had obtained an advance of 2,000,000 of reals ; the one from the Marquis DE REMISA, and the other from SenorSEvuLANo.The latter requested of the Minister of Finance that his share of the loan should be distributed among the civil and military pensioners of the State. Senor GONZALES had returned from San Se bastian. There was nothing certain as yet respecting the convocation of the Cortes ; but it was be lieved that it would take place on Nov. 1. The Government had appointed Senor DIO NISIO VALDEZ Political Chief of Cadiz, in the place of the late Senor Rrascit. Senor VALDEZ had occupied a similar post at Barcelona in 1841, and evinced considerable firmness in the dis charge of his official duties. Cadiz was perfectly tranquil on the l2th. No fresh disturbances have occurred at Cadiz, but the situation of the province is anything but satisfactory. Large bands of smugglers are still assembled near Alicant, and appear to set the troops at defiance. There is a rumour of a project for overthrow ing the Government and re-establishing the Con stitution of 1812. The only chance of success for such a demonstration would be in the defec tion of some of the army, but the- spirit of the troops is considered good at present; notwith standing the irregularity with which they are p_dd. No business on the Bourse on the 17th. The Phare des Pyreaees of the 21st instant announces that General ZURBANO had arrived at Barcelona, whither he had been called by the Captain-General to give an account of his .con duct towards a French merchant of the name of LEPEVRE, who had bee n set t l e d at Girona for the last 25 years A suppressed convent in which that gentleman had established a manufacture being deemed by General ZURBANO an eligible building for a barrack, he ordered the owner to evacuate it without loss of time. M. LEFEVRE, who is 73 years of age, having waited on the General, and applied to him for a delay of eight days before complying with that injunction, " ZURBANO received him in the grossest manner, and ultimately struck the old mari in the pre— sence of all the officers of his staff." M. LESSEPS, the French Consul at Barcelona, on hearing of this outrage, immediately, .demanded satisfaction of the Captain-Ge nera l , who lost ZURBANO to that city no time in sum- The Three per Cents. were done, on the 16th, at 20Z- fbr cash ; and the Five per Cents. at 261 for cash, and 27 26 at 60 days. The debt bearing no interest sold for 5 13-16, at 60 days. There was little business negotiated on the 17th, the Three per Cents. having closed at 21,1 ; and the Five per Cents. at 261, at CO days. • We hav e rece i ve d the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The American Treaty, •and the desire for peace evinced by most European States, begin to produce a good effect even on warlike France. It appears from the Commerce that the French Government, confident of the maintenance of peace, contemplates great re ductions in the land forces, and that the effective force of every regiment of infantry will be re duc©d frotn",l2o men to 1,800. According to the same journal, the Government contemplated forming a corps of Municipal Guards sufficiently numerous to constitute in itself the garrison of Paris, when the fortifications shall have been completed. The troops of the line would then be quartered in the detached forts and in the fortified barracks contiguous to the enciente continue. The notorious DEUTZ, whose name has been so odiously mixed up with the arrest of the Duchess of BERRY in November, 1832, had been arrested in Paris, and was on the point of being tried under a charge of inendicity and vagrancy. The unfortunate wretch, after squandering 500,000 francs, paid him for betraying that Princess, had fallen into the most abject misery. • It will be remembered, that he abjured J udaism, and was admitted into the Catholic Church, under the auspices of the Duchess Of BERRY, who had even condescended to act as his godmother on his baptism. In 1833 DEUTZ returned to his original creed, and whilst his father lived he re ceived from him ample means of existence. After the death of ins parent he was obliged to have recourse to the charity of his co-religionists; but this resource at last failing him, he was re duced to beggary, arrested in the street, and • lodged in a charitable asylum. The Commerce states that M. GUIZOT and Admiral DUPERRE were to leave for Eu on Saturday, to give an account to the KING of the result of the first meeting of tile Commissioners appointed to examine the different questions relative to the gum trade, which took place at the Ministry of Marine on Friday. The Com mittee assembled under the presidency of M. GA 13 TIER, a Peer of France, and is said to have been attended by the Prince DE JOIN VILLE. The French linen manufacturers are very, jealous of the fav o urs granted to Belgium. Tlie Constitutionnel proposes that the impoitlaio u o f linen from Belgium to France be limited to the average quantity imported in the. last years, acrd the duty raised as soon as this quantity is attained in each year. The Courrier Francais makes the following remarks on the ASHBURTON treaty " We do not blame England for having re•esta blMied, even at a considerable sacrifice, friendly rela tions with the United States. We have never desired to see a war between the two countries, for we are not of those who look with joy upon a tempest, in the hope of getting the remains of some wreck; and we are of opinion that France is strong enough not to ,_ ..: _, _,, . a ~~' : .. z --- '1777' , • : nereiore caut,e us any mortification. The French Government was not in any way called upon to favour the solution of the existing differences, but we saw with pleasure that it did nothing to envenom them. It was necessary in this case to abstain from rendering ourselves either ridiculous or odious ; and, by a very lucky chance, the policy of M. Guizot, which con sists in action, was in the present instance per fectly in accord with the true nature of events. Thus we do not blame the t rea t y . It is not our intention to lay hold of it as a pretext for exalting the United States, or humiliating England. The denouement of this long and irritating negotiation may, however, serve as a lesson for our Government, and we have, therefore, a right to deduce the consequences which appear to us to arise out of it. England had set up certain pretensions as to vessels navigating under the American flag. These preten sions, winch were equivalent to the right of search, are evidently abandoned by the treaty. It is merely declared that each of the contracting parties shall keep .- on the coast of Africa, for the suppression of the slave trade, a squadron of not smaller strength than 8 0 guns, and that the Commanders of the two squadrons fP may act in concert. This is the solution which We pointed out for France, and on which M. Guizot had the fault of not insisting. The example of the United States proves that England is capable, whatever some persons may say to the contrary, of renouncing her pretensions to naval supremacy w h enever s h e finds herself in presence of a Government that refuses to yield to them. What Mr. Webster has done, M. Guizot ought to have done. The treaty which Lord Ashburton has just signed is the most formal con demnation of that which M. Guizot signed on De comber 20, 1841."
