A meeting of the Magistrates and Deputy Lieutenants of the County of Stafford was held in the town of Stafford on Monday last. The Tory .'lournels call this an important meeting. It was culled by Earl TALBOT, the Lord Lieute nant of the County, and was attended by an un. precedented number of Magistrates, including three Peer 3 besides the Noble Earl. On opening the meeting, he said, " In consequence of the disturbed state of the country, he felt it - his duty to call them together." Lord WROTTESLY then moved the following resolution : One or more stations to be fixed upon in each hundred by the Magistrates of such hundred, at which the meet ings. of the Magistrates are to be held, and such special constables shall be there quartered as the Magistrates may deem requisite. That communications be kept up betwixt the several stations of such occurrences, and information, as may be deemed advisable, communicated to such persons as the Magistrates may appoint. That horses be engaged at each station, under the sanction, and at the direction, of the Magistrates of that station, for expresses or extra patrolling when required. That h orse patrols (if practicable to be sworn in as speci a l constables) be established without pay for pa trolling, according to circumstances, the high roads be tween the stations. The patrolling to be at the discre tion and under the direction of the Magistrates of the hundred. Thst the horse patrol do regularly report the result of their patrols to such person as the Magistrates shall appoint at their respective stations. To the first resolution Mr. E. BULLER moved as an amendment, " That the patrol should be established only in such hundreds as the Magis trates for those hundreds might deem necessary." The amendment was lost by a large majority, and the rest of the resolutions were ianimously carried. In the Tory and little -manufacturing coutity of Stafford, therefore, the Magistrates are organising a new military force for security. They are to have stations or positions, and those positions are to keep up an uninterrupted cum_ munication with each other. Horses are to be kept saddled for orderlies to ride expresses, a n d a horse patrol is to keep incessantly in motion. Reports are to be regularly made to head quar ters, and the whole country is to he placed under a newly formed army, of which Earl TALBOT is the Commander-in-Chief and the Magistrates are Generals. Beldre STURGE'S emphatic sen tence has well got into general circulation, the fiet. he predicted with Apprehension has opine to I pass, mid one part of the community, " mounts guard over the other." It has been found in all cases that this kind of precaution or vigilance provokes some corres ponding contrivance to circumvent it; and unless the Staffordshire Magistrates are disposed to deny the general laws of human nature, they must look for some such contrivances amongst the guarded people. The best organised system of Custom -house regulations ever devised have failed to put an end to smuggling. The severest military punishment employed. by BONAPARTE only eXeit€d the guerillas of Spain to fresh acts • of cruelty and daring Wherever passion or in- terest holds a powerful sway in the human bosom, schemes to suppress or curb it, which stop short of annihilating the subjects of the emotion, only call into existence courage or skill to attain the end desired. The Magistrates of Staffordshire imply by these proceedings, that the people over whom they have mounted guard, have, either from passion or interest, a disposition to disorder and turbulence. They take no means to search into the cause of that disposition and remove it. They proffer no extension of trade by demanding the removal of restrictions, no extension of liberty by sharing with the people some of their own privileges; they simply resolve to organize a new force to repress the consequences of that disposition. What will be the result ? Why, the people will arm themselves in secret against this new power. They, too, will have their ap pointed positions; they will communicate with one another; they will elect officers; they will collect weapons; and when they think the time favourable, they will again break loose. The use of force oh the one side is begetting the use of force on the other; every day the evil is ag every day sees the feelings of hosti gravated ; litv between the classes embittered ; and if neither set the example of concession and conci liation, the evil must go on increasing till we are involved in actual war, and neither life nor pro perty will be safe. Perhaps the upper classes generally, and in particular the Magistrates, will consider in time to what all this arming and all these military preparations inevitably tend ; and, if they are wise, they will conclude that their monopolies and exclusive privileges arc not worth the price which they are likely to pay for them. With the proceedings we have narrated, the meeting did not close, and the Noble Earl inti mated a pretty strong disposition to follow out the Tory doctrines, and adopt some plan fro• making the masters pay higher wages. The report says— Earl Talbot said, there was only one other resolution to be submitted to the meeting. It was to the effect, that while the Magistrates were determined to adopt all pos sible means to protect life and property, they earnestly appealed to the masters in the mining and manufacturing districts to remove all just grounds of complaint on the part of the men; and the Magistrates further pledged themselves to be at all times ready to investigate and punish all cases of oppression or illegal conduct which could be maintained against employers. [The resolution was a very strong and string ent one.] Mr. Buller confessed he did not like the proposed re solution. He thought it would be an unjust and unwar rantable interference of the Magistrates between masters and men . The exact words of the resolution are not given ; the Noble Lord is said to have torn it up, so that no copy could be obtained, but it seems consistent that those who have passed laws to keep up the price of food, should also endeavour to keep up the wages, which they do not pay. That is a cheap way of showing their considera tion for the working classes. They have checked trade, and involved the country in great calami ties, and they cannot possibly believe that they are to blame. No, it is a few " butties," and a few masters, who will not pay more wages than they can help, who are the cause of all the dis tress and all the discontent. By not tolerating their exactions, the Staffordshire Magistrates vindicate their own character, and show them selves keenly alive to the public welfare. We have been reminded by the JoOnal des Debats, that Sir R. PEEL, on the last day of the session, said— If he distrusted the power of the Legislature to provide an immediate remedy for the distress, was it not his duty to abstain from encouraging expectations which neither he nor the Legislature might have the power of gratifying? The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Hume) assumed that the Legislature could provide the remedy, but if he, in the exercise of his best judgment, entertained a doubt upon that point, that the Legislature had the power, by any measure it could adopt, to afford relief to the distress which prevailed in most parts of the country—at least to afford that immediate mitigation to which the Hon. Gentleman referred, was it not his duty to abstain from encourging expectations that might never be realised? Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, is convinced that the Parliament cannot help the people quickly and effectually. He holds it up to the country as im potent to effect the good which the people expect and demand of it. To shirk the some what awful responsibility he has taken on him self, he vilifies the legislative power. He joins with the Radicals acd Chartists in holding up the Parliament to public contempt, as impotent and imbecile. We might suppose that he had been reading Dr. CHANNING'S late work, to which we hare already referred, for Dr. CHAN NING says— " The grand good of popular institutions is liberty, or the protection of every man's rights to the full, with the least possible restraint. Sovereignty, wherever lodged, is not a thing to be proud of, or to be stretched a hand's breadth beyond need. If lam to be hedged in on every side—to be fretted by the perpetual presence of arbitary will—to be denied the exercise of my powers, it matters nothing to me whether the chain be laid on by one man or many, by king or people. A despot is not more tolerable for his many hands." "I want as little government as consists with safety to the right of all. I wish the people to govern no further than they must. I wish them to place all checks on the Legislature, which consists with its efficiency. I honour the passion for power and rule as little in a people as in a king. It is a vicious principle, exist where it may." Dr. CHANNING, like Sir R. PEEL, has a whole some distrust of.the power of legislation, even when exercised by the sovereign people them selves ; and like Sir ROBERT, he plainly implies that it cannot, by merely exerting a strong will, achieve the welfare of society. Dr. CHANNING'S distrust of legislation by a democracy is indeed largely shared by many amongst ourselves ; and . _ ✓ we are told by a Whig journal, that " Govern ment on a mere numerical basis is anar- chical." But how will the Chartists look on these doctrines of the inefficiency of legislation, which men of all parties are now putting forth ? Will they not suspect that they are invented to damp their ardour in the pursuit apolitical power? For centuries that has been exercised by the upper classes, without a doubt of its efficiency to attain their own ends ; but now when the democracy is struggling with a possibility of success for a share of it, it is sud denly found out that legislation can do little or nothing, and that the less society has of it, whether it be ordained by a democracy or a king, the more society will flourish. We are afraid that the democracy will everywhere regard this opinion as invented to turn them from their pur suit, and that it may find a less ready welcome to them than it deserves. It seems to us, we must remark, somewhat in consistent in Sir R. PEEL, and well calculated to cool the zeal of public functionaries, to be at once tenacious in upholding existing laws, and expressing a mean opinion of the power of legis lation. Can all its past decrees be excellent, and be enforced at whatever cost, while its present decrees can effect at best only a trifling benefit? We are inclined to believe with Sir ROBERT PEEL that legislation can do very little for the public welfare, and With Dr. CHANNING that it should be circum scribed as much as possible. With respect to the public distress, there is another alternative from which great benefits might pcssibly flow. Free trade implies the absence of legislative restrictions, and when Sir R. PEEL said legisla tion could do nothing to mitigate distress, did he mean that the abolition of legislation would be equally inefficacious ? What, if in this par ticular case the country should not require new laws, but that some existing laws should be abolished? The abolition of a law is not legisla tion, and might be effected without the consent or action of Parliament. Thus it is not incon sistent to believe that legislation cannot help us, and that a b o li s hi ng a law—t h e. C o rn-law, for ex ample—might. At any rate, as Sir R. PEEL says he cannot help the people, and they are well convinced they can help themselves, they ' ought to be allowed to try. That is what we ask fi)r them under the name of free trade. It im plies nothing more and nothing less than the re moval of the heavy and iron hand of the Legis lature—which Sir ROBERT PEEL says cannot re lieve the distress, which it has neverth e l ess caused—from the national industry. We received Dutch papers last night of the 6tli instant, but with the exception of accounts received from Batavia of earthquakes in the Molucca Islands, and the breaking out of the e THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1842. yellow fever, caused, as was supposed, by the extreme heat, their contents are unimportant. CLOSE OF THE COLLIERS' STRIKE. WEST BRO - MWICH, Wednesday Evening. This morning a meeting of iron and coal-masters, called by Mr. Salter, was held at the Dartmouth Arms, to meet a deputation of men from the various pits, with a view to an amicable settlement of the dif ference between the masters and men. Amongst those present were Mr. Eaton, Mr. J. Nock, Mr. T. White• house, Mr. Hood, and Mr. Fisher, coal and iron masters • agents were also present from the works o f Messrs: and Heines, Messrs. Guest, Wood, and Salter. Several gentlemen anxious to effect a settlement were also present, and amongst them were Dr. Booth, W. Chance, Esq., Mr. Burgess, Commis sioner of the Birmingham police, J. 11eredith, Esq., Captain Baldwin, and others. At one o'clock Lord DARTMOUTH was requested to preside, and on taking the chair his Lordship stated the object of the meeting, and in so doing referred to the meeting held last week at that hotel. His Lordship said he did not think he had any right whatever to in terfere between the masters and men, but having been requested to use his influence to bring about an amicable settlement, he had attended for that pur pose. He felt more at liberty to afford the men an opportunity of meeting the masters, because he knew that ample precautions had been taken to secure the peace, and that the power of the autho rities was such as to give an ascendancy to the law. The law and authority having been upheld, he for one would be most willing to go into any grievances of which the men might have to complain. He thought the better course to be pursued on that oc casion would be to call in the working men and let them state their case. They had also better call in the butty colliers, and hear both sides, and after hearing all, he would recommend that all those gentlemen not engaged in the trade should leave the room, and let the masters and men settle the difference between them. Before they went into the business, he thought Mr! Chance and Dr. Booth might wish to say a few words. • WM. CHANCE, Esq., a Magistrate and manufacturer of Birmingham, then rose and said, that he had met a highly respectable gentleman belonging to the coal trade the day before, who seemed to intimate that he (Mr. Chance) ought not to take any part in the pro ceedings between the masters and men, and the gentleman asked him how he should like it if a similar interference took place between him (Mr. Chance) and the persons employed in his glass-works. He (Mr. Chance) disclaimed most positively any intention or wish to interfere between master and man, but at the same time he felt bound to say he considered the pre sent strike one of more than ordinary importance, the effects of which were daily being felt throughout the country. The question was one which had assumed a sort of national importance, and in which every man might be said to be interested. He had in his manufactory 600 men and 100 women and boys, to whom not less than 7001. a week was paid in wages. There were not less than 2,500 individuals depending upon the above amount of wages, and he certainly felt that he had a deep interest in their wel fare and whatever affected them. He had been three weeks ago within a very short time of stopping all his works owing to the want of coal. He had been ob liged to get coal from Derby, and every other place he could, at a very considerable loss and inconveni ence. He did not complain of that loss, but he looked to the present strike as one deeply affecting the in terest of the country generally. They had not much coal in Birmingham, and the scarcity must be felt in other places. He and Dr. Booth had received a deputation from the colliers, consisting of about thirty men, and he must say he never met a body of men with better feelings towards their masters, or men who, if they told the truth, had stronger grpunds of complaint against persons who had the employment of them. He must, however, say that the statements which he had heard were ex parte—he did not, he could not, vouch for them ; but they were certainly deserving the consideration of all those interested in the trade. He only wished that the unfortunate affair might be amicably settled, and, in saying so, he was fully convinced that the sooner the strike was settled the better for all parties. Dr. BOOTH next addressed the meeting in explana tion of the motives which induced him to come for ward on that occasion. He and the Magistrates of Birmingham, in common wit h those throu g h out the county, had had a good dea l of anxiet y in preserving the peace, and now that t ran q uillit y was p erf e ctl y restored, they were most anxious to retain it, and they felt that nothing would more effectually tend to re store complete order, than the restoration of the col liers to the pits. He felt bound to corroborate Mr. Chance in the character he had given of the colliers. He met the deputation of miners with a very un favourable impression respecting them ; but he was really bound to say he had been most agreeably sur prised at their conduct. He never met a better be haved body of working men in his life, and he should never feel any difficulty in meeting one thousand of them. Shelton, Hughes, and other colliers, whose state ments made last week relative to the butties, have already appeared, then came forward, and reiterated their grievances, consisting of bildasses, over-time, and the truck system. A great deal of contradictory evi dence having been g one thr ough , Mr. EATON, a m aster, s a i d he had travelled a good deal the day before in Bilston and neighbourhood, and he could say that the m as t ers an d b u tti es h a d made up their minds not to allow bildasses any more, nor would the butti es p re ss the men in future for the quarter and half -da y s. H e hoped the men would , therefore, have re ason to re j oi ce at the result of that day's meeting ; that a far better u n d ers t an di ng wo uld spring up, and that they would resume work upon good terms with their masters. Mr. DAVIS, a butty collier, after dross-examining the witnesses at great length, said, the great evil of which they had to complain was the big weight. He had to send off boats laden with so much coal, for which he was not allowed the full weight, and he could not, consequently, afford to give the men all they required. SHELTON said he would ask, was it right to throw all the burden on the poor men ? Why not go at once toget redress, in place of throwing Mr. SALTER sa id he h ad every reason to belie ve the all p uponit pit-owner w t n h e e r and o ro men that all the masters in that part of the county would remove the abuses of which the men had reason to complain. He thought they might now safely close that inquiry. Some men said they were afraid to complain, be cause they would be discharged. Several agents said the men might rely upon it the masters would not refuse to listen to any proper com plaint, nor would they allow any man to be put away by the butties for complaining. Dr. BOOTH then addressed the men, and advised them to go at once to their masters and avail them selves of the present favourable feeling. They had no right to doubt the sincerity of the masters, who had expressed their determination not to allow any more oppression upon their men. Lord DARTMOUTH said he hoped things would now take a favourable turn, and that they would soon be all at work. During the course of the meeting it was stated that nearly all the pits had been set on to work during the last two days at the old prices—the proposed reduction having been abandoned by some masters. The other proportion, it is hoped, will soon follow. It is, therefore, to be hoped that the whole district will immediately resume labour, so far as consump tion will allow, and that the admitted evils of which the men have had to complain may never be repeated, nor the p e ace of society threatened by such a mass of discontent being thrown upon it. A GREAT MAN. —That the Anti-Corn-law League, says the Examiner, is a body of some im- I portance, nobody can doubt who sees the labour the Tory press bestows upon its defamation and destruc tion. That Joseph Sturge is by the same rule a great man, indeed a very great man, nobody can doubt who sees the labour that both the Tory and the Whig Journals bestow on his writings and proceedings. The Times, Herald, Globe, Standard, and Post, all in turn, defame and try to destroy Joseph Sturge. Peel and Palmerston, great as they were at the close of the session, and great as one of them is said to make him self every day in a Contemporary, do not receive half the attention that does Joseph Sturge. While their laboured orations are forgotten, his address to the Irish nation, his Circulars to the Complete Suffrage Society, are daily commented on, as much as is the new Bible by the Mormons. Joseph Sturge has seized hold of the movement by the right handle, and fixes the at tention of the mere politicians of all parties by alarm ing them. Feargus O'Connor is making way for the man of peace, and it seems not inconsistent with the progress which society has made in knowledge, that the next great change should be headed by a benevo lent Quaker. CU, AIOVER. We have received a very bitterly written letter in veighing against the curtailment, at the permit office, of the time usually allowed to give the permits, from two hours to one, previous to the boat sailing. We cannot admit the letter, but, we are confident, if the party will write to the Mayor a temperate letter, stating the inconvenience himself and family suffered, and their losing the boat in consequence, it will receive every attention. For ourselves, we cannot see why the permits are not delivered, during the day, to all who choose to apply for them. Then, an hour pre vious to the boat sailing would be sufficient to supply all travellers arrived after the bureau closed.—Bou logne Gazette. [No one can be surprised that the correspondent writes bitterly. Can anything be more absurd than to restrict passengers to one hour for re ceiving permits to embark when the number generally exceeds one hundred, and the officers at the passport office cannot possibly supply all in that time ? If the official authorities at Boulogne wish to prevent all in tercourse with foreigners, why do they not state so openly, without allowing persons to come there and spend their money, and then insult them as they leave ? The system is disgraceful to a civilized country. —ED. Sun.] EARL RADNOR ON TIIE CORN-LAWS. — This up right and honest Nobleman has published the speech which he made on moving the second reading of his Bill for abolishing the Corn-laws. Like all the Noble Earl's speeches it is plain, sensible, and pithy ; coming at once to the point, and stating in a few sentences the arguments which diffuse speakers expand into a lonecolumn. The Noble Earl's well-timed speech will enforce the still more eloquent language of facts which are now, both in the manufacturing and agricultural districts, demanding ; trumpet-tongued, the abolition of the Corn-laws. REPORTED DEATH OF THE KIN G OF HANOVER. We have just received the melancholy intelligence of the death of the King of Hanover, from a gentle man who reached London this afternoon direct from Dusseldorf. ' His Majesty attended a review on Saturday last at that place, and appeared in perfect health during the day ; but having taken some ice, or other refresh ment, was suddenly seized with illness, and diedeither on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning. The melancholy fact Nv as matter of common con versation at Cologne.—Evening Paper. [The Dutch and German papers of the 6th instant, received last night, make no allusion to this report.] MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—It ap pears that three quarters of an hour are now saved by this line to Crewe. If the original plan were carried out to Rugby nearly two hours would have been saved. But the spirit of monopoly would not allow it ! EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. THE QUEEN'S VislT.—P er h a p s not the least remarkable ef fect of her Maje s ty' s v i s i t to the metropolis was the ex traordinary run of passengers upon the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. The receipts, so far as can be esti mated in the mean time, quadrupled those of the week previous, and the number of passengers was, conse quently, great in proportion. The amount of money drawn was about 6,500/. ; this, contrasted with the week previous, gives a rise of 4,8821., the sum drawn that week for passengers being only 1,6181. 2s. 6d. The pas sengers for the same week (we mean the week ending the 27th of August) amounted to 12,345. For the week therefore be set down at not less than 50,000. Add to t h e se the numbers who came and just past they may went by other conveyances, and it is not improper, we think, to say that upwards of 100,000 persons from Glas gow and neighb our h oo d t ra versed Auld Reekie upon this eventful occasi on. Th e officials of the railway at both depots describ e t h e num b e rs who travelled with them as unprecedented on t hi s li ne .— Glasgow Chronicle. About four o'clock es terday afternoon a young y man of respect a bl e appearance, about 23 years of age, called at the 'r es id ence of Mr. Phillips, surgeon , N o 44, Albion-street, Hyde-park, and re q uested to see Mr. Phillips. He was immediately showl into the surgery, IN her, on being as k e d by Mr. Basevi, assistant to Mr. Phillips, his business with that gentleman, he replied that he wished to consult him medically. Mr. Basevi accordingly handed him a chair, and left him in the sur gery, while he went to acqua int Mr. Philli p s of the cir cumstance. O n hi s retu rn in a minute or two afterwards he found the p reten d e d patient was gon e, and on search ing the place i t was 'di sc overed that he had stolen from a drawer in th e surger y two mourning rings , one with three diamond s i n i t , an d the other a plain one, two gold pins set with torquo i se , a ditto with a red stone, a tor toiseshell-e ase d watc h with a silver guard chain, and a very fair h a i r, sallow the property of the assistant.

There appears to be no truth whatever in the Standard's report of the death of the KING of Among other public bodies admitted to the presence of the SOVEREIGN at Dalkeith Palace, was a deputation representing the Church of Scotland, consisting of some thirty members of the late General Assembly. According to a former precedent, which, considering the late con duct of the dominant portion of the Church, would have been more honoured in the breach than the observance, they presented an address to the QUEEN, in which they attributed the rapid advance of the Scottish nation in civilization, com- mercial enterprise, the peaceful arts of industry, and loyalty, to " the power of divine truth im pressed on the heart by the faithful preaching of the word, accompanied by the inestimable advantage of a sound practical education, based on the Holy Scriptures." Now, making every allowance for the inestimable blessings conferred on Scotland by her admirable system of Church government and parochial schools, it is only fair to state, in justice to other parties, that the Church cannot exclusively claim the merit of the vast improvements which have taken place in that country, since the accession Of the house of BatiNswlcK. The learned men who enlightened the community by their writings on every useful branch of science and philosophy, the practical agriculturist, the indus trious merchant, and, above all, the wise legis lators who established the parochial schools, and, by the passing of the Union Act, opened the wealth of the English colonies to Scotch enterprise, must come in fur no small share of the honour which the Church would attribute to her exer tions alone. But independent of these circum stances there were great men the in Church before the accession of the present line of kings. They preached the word in season and out of season, and, notwithstanding all their exertions, the Scotch remained a lawless and turbulent people, rebelling not unfrequently against their Sove reign, and committing deeds of atrocity towards one another, not surpassed in modern times. And besides allowing the ministers of the Gospel all the merit which they assume, the praise must be awarded, not to that sect which unfortunately has thrown the re, ligious community into such disorder, and who, nevertheless, complacently regard themselves as the only " faithful preachers of the word," but to the great majority who, during the period of these vast improvements, had supreme control in ecclesiastical matters. Among the more dis tinguished of these in latter times were ROBERT SON, BLAIR, and HILL, with others whose names it is needless to recount; and how are the men that now tread in their footsteps treated by the present majority of the Church? The history of the three laSt General Assemblies affords the melancholy answer. Many of them have been deposed for obeying what they conscientiously be lieved to be the law as established by Church and State, great numbers have been suspended, or threatened with suspension, for sympathising with their suffering brethren, and thus 'the very men to whose ecclesiastical policy such a just tribute is paid, are all but thrust out of the Church. On referring to the address, we were curious to see in what way the present leaders would express their loyalty, after they had been pronounced by the Supreme Civil Courts in Scotland and Eng land guilty of a breach of the law, and were no t a little delighted to find on the first perusal that their "aim was to inculcate the indispensable duty of allegiance to the Supreme power of the State." On reading it, however, more carefully, we discovered in a sort of parenthesis a striking reservation, by which all this professed loyalty was only conditional and subservient to the ►► paramount obligations, privileges, and hopes of the Gospel," which, when translated into plain, intelligible language, means their own acts of Assembly. They b)ldly told the QUEEN they reckoned these paramount to all others, and would give allegiance to the sovereign power of the State, only so far as it was consistent with the law which they had laid down for them selves. Sir ROBERT PEEL probably wished to act a generous part on an occasion of such general rejoicing, and was anxious to avoid all collision with the ministers of peace, but had he refused his assent to the address, he would have been justified by the law of the land, and by the established practices observed in all communi cations between the Sovereign and people. The speech of Lord DENMAN on the sth inst. at the York Assizes, preparatory to pronouncing sentence upon upwards of 150 persons convicted of being guilty of riots during the late operatives' strike, was in many respects worthy of the high character of that eminent Judge. He affected no alarm—indulged in no exaggeration of facts or appearances—and exhibited no warmth of temper unsuited to the high duty which he was called upon to discharge. There were one or two points in his speech, however, suggestive of observations which evidently did not occur to his Lordship, though they may have done so to the prisoners at the bar. In alluding to the conflicts of the people with the police and- constabulary, the Noble and Learned Lord observed, that, " forgetful of the plain and undeniable truth that the civil powers are even more for the protection of the lower orders than of other classes, ignorant people assembled against them, and the oppor tunity was selected by wicked men of wreak ing their mean malignancy upon those whose vigilance they had reason to dis like." Now, we can assure the Learned Judge that the forgetfulness of which he com plains was not the sin of the operatives. The persons who first forgot the real object for which he tells us the constabulary were appointed, and who taught the police to forget it too, were the middle and upper classes, and, last of all, Sir JAMES GRAHAM. They it was, who, forgetting that the civil powers were appointed for the pro tection of the lower classes, taught them that their proper business was to asssist in coercing them, devoting the rest of their labours to the protection of the property and persons of the rich. Doubtless, as a con stitutional doctrine, nothing can be more correct than the statement of the Learned Judge; but in practice it has long become obsolete. A Secretary of State has pitted the con stabulary against the operatives; and the universal cry now is, that the working classes find, instead of protectors, inveterate ene mies in the police. They allege, and we fear not untruly, than more constabulary solicitude is ma nifested for a rich man's dog, than for the life of an industrious artisan or small shopkeeper, each the father of a helpless family. We have the Journals of Madrid and Barce lona of the 30th of August. The Patriote of Madrid says that the statement of the Eco del Commercio, that the Ministry has it in contemp lation to organise a secret police for Spain, is fhlse. The bands of Estramadura and La Manche still keep the field; they get recruits from the old comrades of Pidillos and Orejita. The Spanish Journals call on the Government to take efficacious measures to put down these bandits. The Madrid Gazette of the 28th pub lishes the following circular, which the Director- General of the Customs has just sent to the In tendents in the provinces : " In order to put an end to the frequent doubts which are raised in Custom-houses open to foreign res pecting the admission and forwarding importation, of goods which have a mixture of cotton in them, the Board, see ing the embarrassment and the , injury caused by them to honourable merchants, and to the Treasury, have decided— " That notice shall be given to all hands of the BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 4.—Two more Belgian Consu lates will be speedily established, one at Guatemala, the other at New Zealand. We are assured that M. Cloquet, a clerk in the office of the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, is to have the first of these posts. SEPT. s.—His Majesty gives to-day a private audience to Colonel de Puydt, who lately returned from his mission to Central America. M. Marchal, a mechanician at Brussels, has manufactured blocks of metal rendered in-oxidable, which are intended to be used instead of wood in the construction of railroads. They are said to be in every respect equal to wood, occupying the same surface, and having the same flexibility. They are so made that they will last ten times as long as wood, and the price is nearly the same. SEPT. 6.—The second vote of the law relative to the Convention betweon the State and the City took place in the Chamber of Representatives. The follow ing is the result :-75 Members were present-38 voted . for, and 33 against it ; 4 declined voting. A Journal says that General Vandermeere, who is in the Petits Carmes, is seriously indisposed. A letter from Grimbinghausen, of the 2d of Sep tember, says that the King had received on that day the 7th Corps of the Army. Among the illustrious and noble visitors present were the King of Hanover, in the uniform of the 3d Regiment of Hussars, of which he is the Colonel ; Prince Charles of Bavaria, in the uniform of the 11th Hussars; the Archduke John of Austria, and many of the Dukes and Princes who have lately arrived, as well as the Prince of our Royal family. Fifty thousand persons have come from all quarters to witness this splendid military spectacle. A burst of joyful acclamation welcomed the King, when he was seen to come on horseback with his aides-de-camp and suite. The Queen, with the Princesses, and many noble Dukes followed in carriages. The review in Grim binghausen is ended, and the Infantry will leave the camp to-morrow for the grand manoeuvres at Ens kirchiem. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

Speculations in the above named documents, which during some few years past have been much repre hended, have again commenced. Hitherto, those who may have been uninitiated in the doings of the Foreign Stock Exchange, have been in the majority of instances plundered of their money, and no milder ex pression can be used, by such as may have been more experienced in the goings on there. It is almost need less to recal the ruin or loss which has been entailed upon the families of those who have speculated largely on former occasions, but it becomes an imperative duty to warn individuals who, tempted by unusually low prices, may still feel an inclination to " dabble" in time bargains. It is sufficient to remark that the countries which have issued the Bonds are in reality insolvent, and the non-payment of the interest for so many years will show that they are at the mercy of those who have the command of the market, and who can raise or depress quotations by a nominal transfer of stock, and that most stringent laws relative to debtor and creditor, will almost imme diately come into operation, by which such gambling is most particularly denounced. It would appear un just to endeavour, as it might be termed, to depreciate the value of property ; but when from o ffi c i a l docu ments it is seen that several of the above countries are literally " living by their wits," and that upon an estimate the deficiency of one is less by a certain amount than had been previously calculated upon ; and in another, that the Finance Minister had succeeded in raising a trifling amount, at a ruinous rate of interest, to meet a particular claim, occasion is taken to raise the quotations of the bonds of these nations, while the foreign creditor is completely, as it were, thrown overboard, it is imperative, when such serious con sequences may arise, to exert every effort to counter act them.

" A. FERNANDEZ DE GAMBOA. " Madrid, Aug. 20, 1842." The Right 'of Search question, the com mercial relations of Belgium with Germany, and the Eastern question, form the principal topics of remark in the French Journals of Tuesday. The Constitutionnel is quite out of temper with England for not succumbing to the blows of the Chartists, the Affghans, ,the Chinese, and, more terrible than all, the threats of little Monsieur TRIERS. The substance of our Gallic Contem porary's complaints of "perfidious Albion" may be summed up in the pithy query of the Irish woman, addressed to the bed-ridden consoler of her third widowed affliction, " Arrah, why don't ye die, my jewel?" The Constitutionnel proves most logically that, according to the rules. of GALEN, HIPPOCRATES, and all the distinguished members of the faculty of medicine, England ought to have died long ago; and yet, instead of having done so, and composed herself de cently in her grave by the side of Carthage, Babylon, Imperial Rome, and Venice, the " Queen of the Adriatic," she shouts free dom in the ears of the sable sons of Africa, and engages the United States to co-operate with her in abolishing an inhuman traffic, dear only to avarice and revolutionary France! No ; Eng land is not dead nor dying ; and therefore the Editor of the Constitutionnel may save himself the trouble of writing her epitaph. French po liticians are not over-ambitious of being laughed at; nevertheless, insensible as Englishmen gene rally are to the charms of humour, there are few of them who will not laugh at the extract from the Constitutionnel, given hr-our Foreign Sum mary. " It is really a gem in its way. Neither the Chdrivari nor Punch has published anything equal to it. What new perfidy iu perfidious Albion not to give up the ghost when invited to do so by so accomplished a master of ceremonies in the Court' of the " King of Terrors" as M. TRIERS! It is indeed a crime not to be forgiven by the accredited organ of the ex-Minister. But the truth is, France begins to grow ashamed of 116' conduct upon the Right of Search question. There was something so shuffling in first pro posing that treaty, and forcing . it upon the adop tion of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, and after wards refusing to ratify it, that nearly every man in France, with the exception of M. TRIERS and his partizans, hangs his head when the treaty is now spoken of. Even that faction is mad at the. report of its adoption by the United States, which places France a second time in a state of discreditable isolation. The foul abuse of the Constitutionnel is, therefore, but a natural conseque►►ce of the false position in which the THIERs faction have contrived to place France. There is nothing new in the journals about the Eastern question. The nonsense of the TRIERS and the BARROT organs is repudiated by the Ministerial press. BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, SEPT. 6.

The Money Market is extremely fiat, and very few bargains have been entered into this morning. Con sols are 928 93 for Money, and 938 931 for the Account.

The abundance of money causes Exchequer Bills to maintain their price, the New being 49 51, and the Old, 51 53 prem. Foreign Securities have been neglected, but prices are firm : business to-day has been confined to Dutch Five per Cents. at 102 i. • The quotation for Mexican Bonds has given way from 36 to 351. In Shares, Great Western have been sold at 834, the Half Shares 601 ; Bristol and Exeter, 451 454; London and Birmingham, 183 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 43 ; York and North Midland, 903 ; ; and Brighton, 33/. A bargain in the Spanish Five per Cents. at 161, and another in the Three per Cents. at 211, comprise the whole of the dealings in the Bonds. A better feeling has been exhibited in the produce market within the last few days, and more disposition has been shown to purchase goods. This is parti cularly to be noticed in regard to such articles as form part of general consumption, or are employed in ma nufactures. The amount of the probably small quantity of indigo which will be made this year has induced holders to ask higher prices, but previously to the arrival of the last mail 2d. to 3d. per lb. advance on quotations of the July sale had been freely paid. This, and a corresponding sale in co chineal, gums, &c., would lead to a belief that both' capitalists and manufacturers entertain expectations of an improved demand for goods for shipping, which is somewhat confirmed by the intelligence from most foreign ports, in which commerce had been so much depressed.

Almost the only one deserving of attention is in the Debats on the ordonnance of the 1 King q the Belgians respecting the silks and wines ' of Germany-. Our readers are aware that the Bel gian Government has been very roughly handled by' . the genJemen of the Parisian Press, who have ex pressed their opinions upon the measure in question'. I 'The Debuts, however, has not adopted the same 1- , ''' .course. This journal excuses the ordonnance on the ground of the national desire of the Belgians to obtain!''' . new markets for their produce, and recommends that' France, instead of showing resentment against her. for attempting to conciliate Germany, should draw '4 closer the bonds of union with Belgiin, and make it. - ~e ; ra the interest of that country in all matters of co- •?f' merce to cling to Fiance. For this purpose theDebats .'1 advises that the negotiations of 1841 for a Customs.:l union between the two countries should be resumed. , l't The following is a specimen of the style in whichyst M. Thiers' paper, the Constitutionnel, speaks of Eng-. I land. It must have a contemptible notion of the un derstanding of its readers :—" See that perfidious Albion, though her empire be menaced in India , and ' her armies in jeopardy in China—though insurrection is at the gates of London, and the three king doms on I the very brink of destruction, see this perfidious and ' execrable England will not die. The fact is, England hopes to repair all her losses, all her disasters, by ob taining the right of search. This will compensate her loss of India, by the tremendous preponderance which it will give her over every slave brig and g-utd o i. vessel of France. It will enable her to put Abd-0,01 Kader on the throne of Algiers, and to sell her cot..ii tons in the markets of the Great Desert; for it i.4,i4 always at opening markets for her manufactures th 44 ;.) this nation of shopkeepers aims ; and the right . ofi.ol search, we know, is calculated to throw cren to the„it perfidious Albion all the ports of the world. The French Government has invited the four great commercial ports to send a delegate to Paris to forrn part of a Commission, which, in conjunction w ith _) 1 1 - 1 Galos, head of the Colonial Department , and ..DZ., Maisonneuve, the Director of Foreign Trade, are tn e inquire into the difficulties which the gum trade 01 Senegal gives birth to each year. Amongst other remedies which have been tried, was an association of farmers of the revenue, to which the Government of Senegal gave their sanction, and from which much was expected. Intelligence received from Senegs l 2 however, shows that those hopes have not been realised , as the trade has failed this year, the Moors having organised a resistance to the association. According to the Quotidienne, the amount voted by the Chamber of Deputies for the fortifications of Paris will fall very short of the expenditure. Of the 140 millions voted, 7.5, it says, have already been a pended, and 25 are due to the contractors, so that 40 millions only remain. The Quotidienne, in ordo , to show that these 40 millions mill not go very Par' • observes, that the forts of Mont-Valerien, ]'Est, gt' Denis, Pantin, Noisy-le-Sec, Rosny, Vincennes, Cho renton, Ivry, and Issy, are not half finished ; that the forts of St. Denis, l'Ouest, Nogent, Bicetre, are not 9 quarter finished ; and that those of Vanvres, Moe:, trouge, Courbevoie, ..
