NOVEMBER 21, 1842. We rejoice to . see the merely Whig Journals heartily abusing Lord LYNDHURST for his-ap pointments in Bankruptcy and Lunacy. They are erecting a standard by which to test the con duct of the WhigS should they ever be restored to power. That they will follow in office, how ever, the rules tlvey lay down when in opposition, no man can be baby enoegh to believe. The Government of this country, depending on tie representation which is mainly purchased by money, and founded ou bribery, is, and must be, etcien corrupt. It can only exist by paving for the representative power that is bought. We no more expext, therefore, that the Whigs, when i n office, will avoiil corrupt jobbing, than we wean to say that the accusations against Lord Ivivintunst. are entirely without fbundation. To nook for high-mindedTatriotisni, fine moral feel ing, and pure integrity, in the Ministers of a radically corrupt system, is to betray a more ollarmitg simplicity of, character, and, a more complete ignotp a nee of human nature, than we eneirallt- meet with in the most ignorant re , chis.Q. :it would surmise us amazingly in Me ., iropolitlx Journalists, were it ncit probably as . mimed. for the . occasion. . Wo;have no doubt that Lord LYNDHURST has - 'Propvided, as f'ar nc he could, Ibr his friends, de- Penclueniv, and assistants; we have not the least 4 °+ ,t that, in making those appointments, he kat,- thought much more of the individuals than (-) t ttie public service ; but so all Ministers ever live done, and we blame him much less than the s Y- 1 14'11:1. At the. siVt)e time, we are not sorry ; 115 kt the disappointment of `it: great number of ex pca4ants has, by their reproaches, provided us a standard of excellence to which, in every. kW - rage, the Government must be made to ap- Twitch. 14thout....resurning to defend Lord LYND-. _mitusT Tor trio appointments he has made, and twain no acquaintance whatever with any one of the gentlemen he has appointed, we must guard our reader's against the complaints of a numerous and hungry profession. Barristers are at all times much .more abundant than catises,:scores of them are always on the 100k -out tbr any scraps of appointments they can lay hands on, and those who do not catch them are very likely to make as loud and teasing com plaints as an Irish beggar to whom alms is refused. We have'not heard that any of Lord LYND- rittsr's men are-unsuitable on account of clia 'Meter. They are not branded as immoral; they are said to be incompetent. This is a tbolish accusation on the face of it. All of them are gentlemen' eonaected with the profession, and most of them ha"ve enjoyed some practice, while the duties they will have to perform may be le.avned by any man of ordinary and average capacity in a month. There is less' difficulty than the proftssion would have the public be liege L mastering its jarg on ; and to decide justly neeas little help from law. The appointments are all new; that they are' all neoessars that fewer places and lower salaries would not have secured ;ir. effectual performance of th e pubic business, we will not assert; but for the regulations the Legisllature, not Lord LYND• nUitBT) is responsible, ; xrad be only filled up the offices which it created. That he has made the most judicious of all pcissible appoint ments, selected the very best, roost fitting, and most deserving, men, is not our opinion but he has done quite as well as can generally be ex pected of Lord Chancellors. We caution the public, therefore, riot to suppose the appoint ments to be anything more than a common act of the abuse of official patronage, because a score of disappointed expectants fill the newspaper world with their complaints. On Wednesday week we called attention to the complaints of the shipping interest, and pointed out, as one cause of its distress, the oppo sition between. the conduct of productive la bourers, including the shipping interest, and the conduct of Government. The former strive to make commodities cheap and plentiful, the latter makes laws to keep them scarce and dear. The shipowners have learned to make three voyages where they only made two formerly, and Go vernment, by tariffs, protective duties, and pro hibitions, has given *hem less goods to carry. The means of transport have been increased without a corresponding increase of commodities to - be transported. What is the consequence? " I understand," said Mr. COBDEN, at the Liver pool meeting on Friday, " that there are 70,000 tons of shipping in the Liverpool docks looking for freight." "It is in contemplation," says the New York Herald of October 31st, "jto hold at Boston a convention of ship-builders and owners, and all connected with navigation, to take into consideration the causes which have led to the extraordinary depression in that important branch of business." As an instance of the want of employment, it is mentioned that " the noble packet ship, the Roscius, came in the other day with 500 dollars freight; in 1830 she would have had 10,000 dollars." On the one hand, our Legislature makes Corn-laws, which prevent American ships bringing corn here, and, on the other, the American Congress passes a tariff which prevents English ships carrying goods to New York. It is impossible to find a more pal pable connexion of cause and effect than between the restrictive regulations of the two countries on their mutual interchange, and the idleness of those ships and men who are the instruments of making it. The laws of the two countries cause the ruin of their respective people. It becomes for us a. serious question, How long can this last? How long will the industrious 0 3 ..) prt of mankind su ff er their best- nterests, their. It `piness , and their morality =-= for whoever 1 1 lesi ar decaying people. to, be mdral---to be , de, stroyed by the ignorant and absurd legislation of a set of idle and worthless landowners? The re verence of men for law in general will carry them a great deal too far, if they continue to tolerate such an enormous abuse. Because the prohibi tions of law are sometime the same as the prohi bitions of nature, and crimes which she forbids are punished by the Magistrate, people clothe all laws, however absurd, cruel, or iniquitous, with the reverence which is justly due to those which prohibit and punish crime. Thus the law which stifles trade and commits many homicides, is s much obeyed and honoured as the law which prevents murder. A Sunday paper before us, following, however, in the wake of the Times, supplies a striking il lustration of this sort of perversion. Because the law improperly punished the Scotch Reformers, who were virtuous men, honestly intent on bet tering the condition of their countrymen, these two journals, out of their reverence for the law, jump to the conclusion • that it would be as proper to erect statues to Tun- PIN or Sixteen-stringed Jack, as to these patriots. They did, it is true, what the law for bade, but what all good men in all ages have applauded; the felons did what good men in all ages have condemned. The acts of the latter were crimes in themselves; the acts of the former were only made offences by an erroneous law, and when the public obtained information enough to see the error of that law, their of fences instantly ceased, and they were properly looked upon as martyrs to an error. Will TURPIN and Sixteen-stringed Jack ever be looked on as martyrs? Do those who class these felons with virtuous patriots so look on them ? We do them the justice to answer, No. They never will so look on them, and it is only a foolish reverence for every absurd regulation called a law, which so perverts their judgment that they class virtuous patriots, the victims of error, with common felons who were deservedly punished. We quote this as a sample of the perversion against which it is now necessary to guard the public. Because it is a law that there shall be no direct corn trade with the United States, and also a law that a murderer shall be punished, it is erroneous to conclude that the former law, which is cutting up commerce by the roots, and consigning thousands of our people to want and starvation, deserves to be obeyed and reverenced, like the latter, which gives protection to life. There is one leading characteristic of Corn law abolition, which we do not remember to have seen noticed, and which ought to recommend it above most other reforms to the people. We take it for granted that they are becoming, to use the language of Mr. VINCENT, averse from " man worship." They are tired of human idols, having found them even more mischievous than idols of wood and stone, and they do not want any new masters. When the French took it into their heads to sweep away all their old constitutions, those on whom they conferred power to accomplish that became their masters. They took pos session of all the power which had been orga nised by the old institutions, and they became more tyrannical than were the former masters of the people. No person, we suppose, can deny that DANTON, ROBESPIERUE, and BUONAPARTE, had. the lives and. fortunes of the French more absolutely in their power than the old BOURBONS and do n dthe oldoat denyristo thateraey. We it was necessary to get rid of the old worm-eaten and corrupt institu tions, but if the people had possessed more poli tical knowledge and wisdom, they would have been careful not to put down those institutions till they could have got rid of the thing and the power as well as the name: They e iv in En ould have Now , allowed them to die out. No, if w were suddenly to establish complete or universal suffrage, we should want some individuals to carry that system into effect. We should be compelled to place all the present powers 'of Government, embracing all the corrupting pa. tronage of the colonies, of the Church, of the army and navy, in the hands of the leaders of the complete suffrage, or the universal suffrage movement. It would be impossible even to se parate from the colonies, and abolish the Church, without placing the power of effecting those great changes, in opposition to the will of a great portion of the people, in 'the hands of some individuals. The destroyers would want leaders, and those leaders would be their new masters. But the people want an extension of freedom, not a new set of masters, and they would rather be governed by Sir R. PEEL and the House of Peers, than by Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNivon. and the Executive Council of the National Convention. Many men, seeing no alternative between these, resolutely oppose all reform, and sanction the continuance of ac knowledo•ed abuses for fear of establishing some greater tyranny. Now, the characteristic of Corn-law abolition, which should recommend it to the people, is, that it will increase the power of no individual. The Anti• Corn-law League will expire with the abolition of the law. When the complete suf frage scheme succeeds, its leaders will be placed in office, and we must substitute STURGE for PEEL. The repeal of the Corn-law will make no such change. it will leave all parties to struggle with each other just as at present; except that it will, by removing a great we i ght from some , make the struggle fai rer. It will call no dema •fforrue into existence; it will requ i re no MIRA w BEAU or BONAPARTE, and yet it will be a great extension of the liberty of all. Some persons , say the abolition of the Corn laWs will increase the money power. This is an error. The money power is a command over food, and the more fbod is increased the more the money power is diminished. The abolition of the Corn-laws, by increasing food, would give some power and independence to the people. It creates a new franchise, and it erects no new idol. Freedom of trade, after freedom of conscience, is the noblest freedom for which men ever struggled. The meeting at Liverpool, on Friday, was of the most animated and cheering description. The account, which appears in another part of The Sun, is well worthy of perusal, particularly Mr. COBDEN'S speech. We believe with Mr. GISBORNE, who spoke on Thursday, at Manches ter, that the bulk of the intelligent population is with the Corn-law abolitionists, and that it will be impossible fbr the monopolists much longer to The good cause is making a rapid pro gress, and a few more steady exertions before he meeting of Parliament will insure success. Honour to the League. esist. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO WALIVIER CASTLE. WALMER, SUNDAY.—Yesterday the unsettled state of the weather prevented her Majesty from taking her accustomed walking exercise. His Royal highness Prince Albert walked out on the beach for a short time. Sir J. Clarke arrived at the Castle in the morning. This morning her Majesty walked out with his Royal Highness Prince Albert on the beach upwards of two hours. Her Majesty and the Prince, after walking as far as Deal, returned by the sea-side to King's Down and back to the Castle. The Princess Royal was taken an airing. Her• Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince. Al bert attended Divine service this morning, which was performed in the Castle by the Rev. Mr. Lane, rector of Deal. Lord Charles Wellesley, Viscount'Sydney, Col. Wylde, and most of the suite were present. There will be no addition to the Royal dinner party this evening. Viscount Sydney takes his departure on Tuesday next. The inhabitants of Ramsgate, Sandwich, and other places of interest in this neighbourhood, have been anxiously expecting the honour of a visit from her Majesty, and, consequently, hare been in a state of preparation for several days past to give the Queen and his Royal Highness a welcome reception. So much, however, depends on the fineness of the weather, that no day can be positively namad when her Ma jesty will honour her loyal subjects in these parts with a visit It is expected that the Prince will accompany Capt. Bullock in the Fearless surveying steamer to Rams gate; and, should the weather take a favouFable chance, there is a great probability of h'er Majesty going to this port by the same convevancF. To-morrow, at nine o'clock -in the morning,. the Thunderer w, ill dress ship—at noon fire a Royal salute and man yards—in the evening illuminate, by light ing each port. _ _ _ - Afr. Bieckman's fox hounds will throw off on Wed nesday next near the Telegraph, Tilmanstone, about five miles distant from Walmer, for the convenience of Prince Albert, should his Royal Highness wish to hunt on that day. THE SnN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1842. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The Comedy of Love for Love, was revived at this theatre on Saturday with complete success. This play, which is excellent in its kind, is rather too broad for the present day, and has therefore been ju diciously stripped of the more objectionable passages. The characters were in general well sustained, espe cially by the female performers. Mrs. Nisbet repre sented Mrs. Frail, and Mrs. Stirling Mrs. Foresight, to the admiration of the audience. The acting was lively and chaste, .and of the purest comic character. Mrs. Keeley, as Prue acquitted herself in her usual excellent style, and was not surpassed even by her inimitable husband, who represented the Sailor Ben, and excited inextinguishable laughter. Miss Faucit, as Angelica, was perfectly lady-like, but her acting was deficient in the airiness which is inseparably associated with the heroine of Congreve's comedy ; and it seemed too grave for the circumstances by which the creature of the poet's, fancy is surrounded. Mr. Anderson's Valentine was a more correct per formance than he generally exhibits, though we can not help remarking that it might be considerably im proved, if he would remember the time in which the play was written, andAhe peculiar character of the author. The scene in which he feigns madness and frightens to death, the scrivener and his father, when they.want him to sign away his estate, was given with great effect. Scandal, as performed by Phelps, was the chief character of the piece--an eminence to which it was raised by his good acting—and only second to it was Compton's Foresight, a part in which this capital actor reminded some old playgoers pre sent of the best clays of poor Munden. The dresses and scenery were unexceptionable—no cost, indeed, appears to have been spared in getting up a piece once a great favourite with the public, and which promises to be long a favourite. COURT CIRCULAR. On Saturday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Charlotte Dundas and Sir George Couper, went to Canford House on a visit to the Queen Dowager. Her Royal Highness proceeded by the railway from Farnborough to Southampton. Mr. Moore, Advocate-Greneral of the Swan River settlement, had an interview with Lord Stanley on Saturday, at the Colonial-office. Count Reventlow, the Danish Minister, transacted business at the office of the Board of Trade on Sa- turday. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Saturday, at his official residence in Downing-street. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

BANQUET AT ASHBURNHAM HOUSE. On Saturday evening his Excellency, the Russian Minister, and Baroness Brunow, had the honour of receiving his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frede rick of Austria at a sumptuous banquet at the Russian Embassy. The entertainment was of the most recherche character, and the other arrangements were on a s of splendour every way becoming the visit of hi perial Highness. The fine band of the Coldstream Guards was stationed at the bottom of the grand staircase, and on the arrival of the Archduke he was received by the band playing the Austrian national anthem. Captain Fitzroy, R.N., and his Excellency Baron Nieutnann, the Austrian Minister, accompanied his Imperial Highness. Covers were laid for twenty-six, and in addition to the Arch duke, his Excellency Baron Nieumann, and Captain Fitzroy, there were their Excellencies Prince Castel cicala, Baron • de Cetto, Baron Moncorvo, Marquis de Lisboa and M. Dedel, Count Revel, Lord Fitzgerald, Admiral the Hon. Sir Robert Stopford, Baron Koller, Baron Lebzeltern, Baron Brenner, M. de Lomonossoff and Colonel Baron Lebzeltern, Major Captain Dumont, Count Karoyli, and Chevalier Krechel, aides-de-camp to his Imperial Highness ; M. de Bery, M. KondriafF shy, and M. de Benkhausen. In the course of the banquet the health of the Emperor and the Imperial family of Austria was proposed by the noble host, and the Emperor and Empress of Russia were proposed by the Archduke Frederick, the military band salut ing the former toast with the national anthem of Austria, and the latter with the Russian air. Baroness Brunnow, in the latter part of the evening, opened her salons for the reception of a select party, when among the visitors were his Excellency the French Ambassador and Countess de Sainte Aulaire, his Ex cellency the Turkish Ambassador, the Duke de Guiche, the Comte Auguste de Grammont, his Ex cellency the Danish Minister and Countess ReventloW, his Excellency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer, his Excellency the American Minis ter and Mrs. and Miss Everett, his Excellency Count Kielmansegge, the Swedish Charge d'Affaires and Baroness Rehausen, Countess of Jersey, Marquis Palucci, Lord Lowther, Admiral Sir George Cock burn, Mr. W. E. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. and Miss Goulburn, Baron de Broclidorff, Lord and Lady Colchester, Count Rosen, Viscount Ossulton, Mr. Parnther, Count Louis de Noailles, Marchioness de Lisboa, Lady Wheatley and the Misses Wheatley, &c. His Imperial Highness retired about half-past eleven.. On Thursday morning while Eliott, the game keeper at Blenheim Park, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough, was shooting at a doe, he missed the doe, but shot a poor girl named Oldacres, aged 13, who was picking up wood at the time. The unfor tunate girl was a distance of 554 yards from the keeper at the time the catastrophe occurred. Of these 554 yards, 330 are very thickly interspersed with trees, which prevented his seeing the deceased. An inquest was held on the body on the following morn ing, before James Westall, Esq., the Coroner for the county. The Jury, after a long and patient inves tigation, returned a verdict of " Homicide by Misad venture," accompanied by an expression of their opinion that the gamekeeper had not used due caution. In consequence of the important alterations which railroads have made in the duties of Post-office keepers, the Postmaster-General has resolved upon reducing the Post-office establishments of a large number of post-towns, to subordinate offices to neigh bouring large cities and towns, which will have the effect of lessening the duties of the persons employed in those subordinate offices, without diminishing the convenience they afford to the public. This ar rangement will ultimately effect a considerable saving in the expense of the Post- office department. DUTCH MAIL. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 17.—We have reason for be lieving that the General Vandersmissen will not b allowed by the Government to remain in our terri tory, and that, in consequence of this resolution, the General has already left Maestricht and gone to Aix-la-Chapelle. Our country cannot be a place of abode for those who threaten to overturn the esta blished order of things in neighbouring countries. The Netherlands and . the .Belgians are neighbours, and must be able to trust each other in this respect. The King's Government must seriously uphold the principle of the separation from Bel gium, which is now , complete and thereby again prove that the. Government is animated by truly na tional feelings, and fully persuaded of the importance of conformity to solemn treaties, not only according to the latter, but also the spirit. FRONTIERS OP WALLACHI4, Nov. 2.—The Turkish Commissioner sent to Wallachia left the Quarantine at Giurgewo on the 28th of last month, and proceeded to Bucharest. Prince Alexander Ghika was just re turned to his capital from a tour in the country—where he was everywhere, received by the . people, with testi-, monies of affection and gratitude—when he received on .the 21st from Constantinople the news of, the decree issued against him. Without complaining of the mis fortune that befel him, or making any at tempt to avert it, he entered Bucharest silently, and prepared for his departure, which took place on the fbllowing day, the Prince leaving the heads of the three chief Ministerial departments, as members of a provisional Regency. Constantine Ghika, as chief of the IValachia Militia, remained in his office, and in 'general we hear nothing of changes in the public offices. The country is perfectly quiet. It submits to the force of circumstances, well know ing that the will which caused the deposition of the Prince is irresitible. A letter from Jassy announces the arrival of Prince Suwarow, Aide-de-camp to the Russian Minister of War. He makes a tour through European Turkey from the Danube, across the Balkan to Constantinople, whence he will go to Asia. DUTCH kUNDS.—.AUSTERDA3I, Nov. 19. Money. Bills.

It appears that Eliott was shooting at a doe, and this poor girl was wooding at a distance of 554 yards ; the keeper missed the doe, but unfortunately shot the poor girl through the chest; it was purely Eliott is a great d ea l di s t resse d at t h e poor girl, w h ose name, I b el i eve i s o ac e c c i u d rr en e t r a ic l e ,.and The Oldacres, was conveyed to the George public-house at Hamborough, and a Coroner's inquest was to sit yesterday morning. It is a curious circumstance that this poor girl's brother was killed about twelve months since on the railroad." Since we received the above, we have obtained the particulars of the inquest which was held yesterday before James Westhall, Esq., Coroner for the county, from which it appears that when the melancholy accident took place, the keeper was near the High Lodge, shooting deer with a rifle, and that the poor girl, who is only 13 years of age, was picking up wood near Spring Lock-gate, a dis tance of 554 yards, 330 of which are very thickly in terspersed which prevented the k ee p er see ing thedecweiasth trees, which she was struck by a ball, which entered hor left breast, and caused instant death. It appeared, on examination, that the ball must have glanced off some hard substance. Some men passing at the time, attracted by the screams of children, picked her up, but found she was quite dead. After a long and patient investigation, the Jury returned a verdict of " Homicide by misad venture," accompanied by an expression of their opinion, that the keeper had not used due caution when shooting in the park at the time of picking up wood ; it being stated that the Duke of Marlborough had given positive orders that no deer shall be shot on what are called "woodine• days." We are pleased to hear that the Duke and Duchess on hearing of the sad accident, sent over to the family, and did what they could to alleviate their misery by liberally admi nistering aid.—Oxford Herald. HENLEY BANK.—On Saturday a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. J. D. and T. Lydall, proprietors of the Henley Bank, was held at the Town-hall. J. Dixon, Esq., Mayor, was called to the Chair. .He entered, into a full detail of the banking concerns of the firm, and the causes of their suspending payment. He said that their London agent having refused to pay their notes yesterday week, in consequence of a party who was indebted to the bank having neglected to lodge with the agent a certain sum of money that he had promised to pay in, they were obliged to sus pend payments. He, however, assured the large body of creditors present, that there were full assets to pay 20s. in the pound sterling, and that Messrs. Lydall deeply regretted . the inconvenience that arose to many persons from- the interruption that took place. 'The assets of the bank were overdrawn accounts, 8,4551. 16s. Bills due, 2,7851.

The following important news from China was published in the French Government paper, the itiessager, of Saturday.evening "ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 5, " A treaty of peace has been concluded be tween the English Plenipotentiaries and the Chincse Government. It is as follows :-- " 1. China consents to pay in three years the stun of 21 millions of dollars. "'2. The ports of Canton, Amoy, Ningpo, and two others shall be open to English commerce. " 3. The island of Hong-Kong is perpetually ceded to her Britannic MAJESTY. " 4. The prisoners shall be restored. " 5. An amnesty published. " 6. The officers of the two nations shall be treated on a footing of equality. • "7. The islandslofChusanand Kolong shall be occupied till full payment of Ile tribute." We congratulate the country on this glorious result. England has obtained her objects, compen sation for the wanton destruction of property,in suit to the British nation, and the expenses of the war; but she has gained more than all these. Five commodious ports, some of them connected with the most populous and trading districts in China, are to be opened to British commerce, the Eng lish are no longer to be treated as barbarians, but as brethren, and, placed on the same footing with the " Celestials " themselves. Tliis agree able intelligence now accounts for the flying post sent off in such haste to old HowQuA by the EMPEROR. He saw the rapid approach of the British forces to the inte rior of the country, the apathy of his people, trembled even for the safety of the capital, and, therefore, knew no time was to be lost. In all probability he• gave - this 'Vet:Verable eater, so 'well k 0 W 't the' En glish pint Se4nton',. ' . poWe k . to treat for peaeb, and pitiniVindlOAd *Tar at any price. Sir HENRY POTTINUER had full powers also, and has used them to good purpose. We were blamed with some others for urging the Government to act with energy, and avenge the wrongs inflicted on English men. Certain parties not only exclaimed against the injustice of the war, but foretold that the Chinese would never yield, that their resources were equal to their obstinacy, and that in a few years we should be involved in a ruinous and hopeless contest. Had the voice of these pro phets been listened to, the British name would have become a bye-word and a reproach in the East, our trade would have been more crippled than ever, and, by submitting patiently to insult and robbery, we should have provoked only fur ther loss and disgrace. We congratulate, there fore, Lord PALMERSTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL on the true national spirit which both displayed, and on the bright prospects this treaty opens up not only to Englishmen, but to the Chinese themselves. Is is for the present Government now to do its duty, by encouraging commerce in that quarter, • and also, by employing the spare forces in China, to settle with equal success our relations with the nations on the banks of the Indus, The whole of that splendid river must be thrown open to English enterprise, forts should be establiihed in fit places to over awe the Affghans, steam-boats supplied for navi gating the river into the heart of the country, and ,a strong barrier erected on the west of our , Indian possessions, which may defy any enemy whatever. We also eXpect another . result. We shall see in a short time waggon loads of Sycee silver, in long trains, moving in the direction of the Mint, which' will ultimately find its way into the Treasury, and thereby enable the Premier to modify or. abolish altogether that cause of universal com plaint—the Income-tax. The sum of-twenty one millions of dollars, or five millions sterling, in the shape of tribute, from the proudest nation on earth, is a rare sight for a Prime Minister, and we hope he will make good use of the goci, send. INSURRECTION AT B RCELONA. The Moniteur Universal of Saturday publishes the following important news, announcing an outbreak at Barcelona : "On the evening of the 13th, thirty workmen at tempted to introduce through one of the gates some casks of wine without payment of duty. The popu lace took part with them, the guard was disarmed, and a soldier was killed. Reinforcements having ar rived, twelve persons were arrested. The editor of the Republican was thrown into prison. On the 14th the workmen quitted their work, and paraded through the city (10,000 of them belong to the National Guard). At five o'clock in the evening the approaches to the Town-hall were guarded by the National Guards, who refused to allow the regular troops to replace them. A regiment of the line was drawn up in order of battle on the Rambla with six pieces of cannon. All the troops were under arms. A collision was ex pected. An officer had a musket pointed at him by one of the National Guards. " On the 16th no carriages or travellers arrived at Figueras from Barcelona. The gates were closed. The cavalry and infantry in garrison at La Jonquiera had left for Barcelona ; orderly soldiers were con stantly moving between Barcelona and Figueras with dispatches. " A person who left Mataro on the morning of the 16th reported that at Figueras no news had arrived from Barcelona, where the gates were closed. At Mataro the noise of cannonading was heard." Our letters from Paris of Saturday afternoon announce that the French Government was in receipt of telegraphic dispatcheS from Perpignan, where advices have been received from Barcelona one day later than the above account. Martial law was proclaimed on the 15th in Barcelona, and from the firing, which was heard at a great distance, it was presumed that a serious conflict was going on, although no official infor mation had reached the Spanish Consul, at Per pignan. ZunBANo was last at Gerona, and was expected to march to the assistance of.the Captain-General, VAN HALEN. From the excess of satisfaction displayed, say our Paris advices, by the partisans of Queen CHRISTINA, it was guessed that they were no strangerS to the Barcelona disturbances; the Re publicans of that town having, it is known, long been urged to acts of violence against ESPAR TERO'S Regency. The regular advices from Barcelona are only of the 12th, and at that time, it appears, that Don FRANCISCO'S party was very popular with the Propagandists. Saturday's Moniteur has also a telegraphic dis patch from Bayonne, stating that the Spanish Cortes was opened on the 14th, and that the RE GENT W 4 not present, an announcement pub-'' lished in Mu. colimns of Saturday. Since writing the above we have received the following by extraordinary express : . " PERPIGNAN, Nov. 19. " A letter from. Barcelona, from a cavalry officer, arrived on tIT 18th, by ordonnance to La Jonquiera, says, After a sanguinary combat we have been obliged to evacuate the .town. The inhabitants seized the artillery. We bivouac for the first two days at the foot of the ramparts; the Angel-gate was the first carried , by the National Guard. Women were armed with lances. Detachments of troops of the line still occupy the Atarazanas Montjinct, the port. It is rumoured that the insurrection has reached Solsona and Lerida. " DEFEAT OF THE RODIL CABINET BY THE PARLIAMENTARY COALITION. The Messager has also the following : " MADRID, Nov. 15. " Senor OLOZAGA has been named President of the House of Congress by a majority of 82 against 41, obtained by Senor ACUNA, the former President, who was proposed by the Ministerial party. Senor CORTINA was nominated Vice- President by 80 votes." Better late than never. The Scottish Re formers are at length about to have that justice done to their memory which should have been done years ago —say, when the Reform Bill was passed into law. At a meeting of the Maryle bone Vestry, which took place on Saturday last, it was decided by a majority of thirty-three, that a column in honour of those martyred patriots, should forthwith be erected in the Regent circus. Thus then justice and good feeling haVe, however late, triumphed over prejudice and bigotry; and the claims on public gratitude of the sworn opponents of the PITT system of Ter rorism and political espionage, are formally and deliberately recognized by a large and influential body of their fellow-citizens. Fifteen years ago, when Toryism—wholly unsuspicious of its fast approaching fall—was exulting in the full con sciousness of power; when an ELDON kept the Royal . , conscience, and a SIDINIOUTH—the man who publicly and officially thanked the Lanca shire yeomanry for the Peterloo job —was Home Secretary ; when a PEEL protested that, if he knew himself rightly, he did not think the day would ever arrive when he could possibly be guilty ofan act of justice to the Catholics, and a majority of the House of Commons applauded the magnanimous sentiment;—at this period of gloom and discouragement to the cause of Refbrm, if a man had predicted that the time would shortly arrive when the Radical principles of the Scottish patriots should not only be looked on without a shudder, as being atheistical and re volutionary, by the respectable middle classes of the metropolis, but even be sanctioned by an influential portion of them, and honoured with a lasting , testimony of their approbatioti_ . by a eolLi!n,4 in gent- circus, , kat he memory of those who upheld them in the flays' di Tory , persecution ;—i f, we say, at such a bigoted period, a man had haiarded a prediction like this, he would have been looked on as a decided madman, and subjected most probably to the tendermer cies of a commission " De Lunatico Inquirendo." But Time, the true, though often tardy, friend of merit—Time, the inflexible judge from whose verdict there is no appeal—Time, who draws forth the truth, though it lie deeper than ever plum met-sounded, and raises or depresses all man to their fitting level;—Time has at length stifled the voice of faction —silenced the, loud hiss of slander, and taught us to regard and cherish the memory of those Reformers who, in 1794, we should have looked on—in compliance With the political prejudices of the day—not as public benefactors, but as mere anarchists and infidels, to be held in profound, orthodox abhorrence. We call upon our readers•to watch the move ments of those schemers who are getting up the cry for " More Church." They can have no doubt as to the object in view, nor the parties in terested. The salvation of souls is not the ob ject; for if money is of any value in that respect, or has the least efficacy in instructing and hu manizing the lower classes, England would be a paradise on earth, and every peasant a moral and educated being. We have often asserted that the English Church is the richest in the world ; yet, with all her wealth, one half of the unforitinate people tried for crimes can neither write nor read. Many of them can repeat the LORD'S P rayer and the Catechism, if allowed a re-hearsal, but as to any knowledge of the great truths of Christianity, or the blessings of a vir ,tuous life, they are as ignorant as the beasts that perish. Whom, therefore, will this Church Extension scheme serve ? The Bishops and their friends. And what is the character of these Bkhops? What have they done for the improvement of mankind, for the reform of abuses, for the spread of the Gospel, for the cause of humanity ? We do not attack individuals, for some of them are excellent and able men ; but we blame the system which yokes those who should be the pastors, the protectors, and the consolers of the people, with a set of political ad venturers looking only to wealth and aggran disement. What good measure has the Bench of Bishops yet patronised? Did they not, to the last, resist WILBERFORCE in his humane plans for abolishing the slave trade ? Did they not resist the diffusion of religious knowledge till the Dis senters shamed them into acquiescence ? Did they not, with other Tories, resist the diminution of capital punishments till ROMILLY, and BROUGHAM, and JEFFREY, painted the atro cities of our criminal code in such a light,.tliat the most blood-thirsty Home Secretary had no other alternative but to yield? Did they not re sist the Reform Bill—the darling object of a greater mass of the community than ever agreed on any one measure—and at last submit with others only when they feared some greater evil, but in reality some greater good ? Have they not resisted every rational scheme for general education, and convinced the world that what ever may be their - professions, they are the stop gap in the moral progress of society, and are placed on the Bench by the inscrutable de crees% of Providence, rather to retard than to advance the object for which they were appointed ? Yet they, and the party to which they belong, are asking for more patronage and more power, and will use them, as they have have hitherto done, in attempting to control and check the growing desire for useful knowledge. The wealth of this State Church, which is con stantly crying for more, is well known ; but the enormous value of its patronage is comparatively hid in darkness. The Archbishop of CANTER BURY alone has 162 livings in his, gift, which, reckoning them at the annual value of 3501., a very moderate estimate, produce 56,000/. a-year. This is independent of the pa tronage of stalls, prebends, precentors, and all the other offices continued from the Catholic Church. It is, independent of a salary of 20,000/. a-year, and confers no small power on one humble individual, and also contributes not a little to his wealth. We hare never heard that these appointments were sold for money, but it is well-known that they are bestowed on sons-in-law, nephews, and cousins.; and can be disposed of, too, in a variety of ways for equiva lents. The total number of Church livings in the gift of the, Episcopal Bench amounts to about 3,000, independent of the Cathedral patronage, producing an annual revenue of more than one million sterling. No other twenty-six men in the country have power equal to this; and will the State increase this enormous patronage, by voting large sums for " more Church ?" We have accounts from Lisbon by the Liver pool steamer to the 14th instant. The tariff question remained in the same state, but it was understood that some additional proposals had been made by Lord ABERDEEN for a lower duty on woollen-cloths and salt fish, which would pro bably be agreed to by the Portuguese Govern ment. The hostility to M. DIETZ, the Court favourite, still continued. The election of twenty Deputies, to supply vacancies occasioned by double returns, was about to take place, and was anxiously awaited. Baron TOJAL had effected, it was reported, a small loan in England, to guarantee the newly issued Exchequer bills. Accounts have been received from Spain of a serious di3turbance at Barcelona on the lath, which has been caused by political intrigues tbreign or domestic, and probably by both. Queen CHRISTINA does not remain at Paris without an object. It appears that an attempt was made by some workmen to introduce several casks of wine without paying duty, a pretence evidently for exciting a tumult; the people in great numbers joined them, an d the guard was di sarme d. Next day the workme n filled the stre e t s , an d at fi ve i n t h e a f te rnoon the National Gua r d s occup i e d a ll t h e ave nues to the Town Hall, refusing to surrender their post s to the troops of th e li ne . O n t h e 18th a sun' g,uinary battle took pl ace , w h en t h e t ro ops were worsted, and forced to evacate the city. Accord' ing to the latest accounts they were bivouacked outside the ramparts, and waiting for reinforce' ments. jjl Senor OLOZAGA had been chosen President a the Cortes, and CORTINA Vice-President. Nearly all the Paris journals have articles re specting the closing of the Anti-Slave Trade Treaty of 1841. That treaty is now cancelled as regards France, and the four other Powers seeing 0 ° ,S hopes of bringing the affair to a satisfitctory eon elusion with th e F renc h G overnment , have re solved that the tr ea ty s h a ll b e preserved Vs: them to the full extent. O n thi s subject t ile Messages has the following p a r ag raph :—" Government of the KI NG h av i ng d e clared that it believed it could n e ith er now nor l a ter ratilts the treaty of the 20th Dec em b er , 1841, the r e ; presentatives of Austria, of Great Britain, °' Prussia, and of Russi a , me t i n conference on Wednesday, the oth insta n t, d ec id e d that t he protocol was closed, and that the treaty pre served, so far as these four Powers were O a ' cerned, all its force and value."
