OCTOBER 20, 1842. We have already adverted to Mr. WEBSTER'S speech, and given it well-merited praise for the bold manner with which he confronts some be setting prejudices of his countrymen. It deserves closer consideration, from the infortna tion which it gives of the state of parties in the United States, of some Ministerial projects, and the little progress which sound political know ledge has made amongst the leading men of America. Upwards of a year ago, but not yet two years, the Whig party, like our Tory party, was triumphant in the United States. General HARRISON was elected President in opposition to Mr. VAN BUREN. The Democrats or Loco focos were every where in the minority. The Whirrs took as their watchwords, peace with England, a sufficient revenue, protection to native industry, and a national bank, or some analogous institution. They have, we hope, secured peace with England by a treaty which will be mutually advantageous. After a great deal of squabbling they have done something to secure a revenue, and by the same means, the tariff, they carry into effect the principle ofpro tection. Their chief and most titvourite object, however, a national ; "bank, is not attained, and seems as far off as ever. It is doubtful whether the tariff will survive another session, and all the arrangements, both for securing a revenue and giving protection, must, it is supposed, be revised. Like our Whigs, the Democrats com pletely failed !by their measures to satisfy the public wants, and now, like our Tories, the Whigs in the United States are much iu the same dilemma. Success in both cases has had the same result, and the general policy of the Whigs in the United States, and of the Tories in England, is condemned as insufficient and feeble by the actual condition of both countries. The two parties differ in one point. It is not necessary in the United States that the Cabinet of the President, or the President himself, s h ou ld think and act in harmony with the Congress . but in England the Ministry and the majority are identical, and when they cease to be so the former is dissolved. Our Tories, except in the case of the Poor-law, have carried all their mea sures ; the Whigs of the United States have not carried their principal measures. In this the two parties differ ; but they resemble each other in having failed to answer public expectations after a great triumph at the hustinirs. How far the death of General liAnalsoN, and how far the feeble or unjust policy of the Whigs in the United States, may have brou g ht this about, it is impossibl e to discriminate; but Mr. WEBSTER tells us that he has been blamed by the Whigs for remaining in office with the Pre sident, whom that party elected to be Vice president, and the Whigs o f As ..u.assachuset s have declared—in which they seem likely to be imi tated by our farmers in relation to Sir R. PEEL —"for a full and final separation froni President TYLER." In truth, roost of the members of Ge neral HARRISON'S Cabinet have deserted Mr. TYLER, and a short tenure of office has sufficed to split the American Whigs into unsatisfied and contending factions. Looking at the reception Mr. EWING'S national bank scheme received from Congress, and at the great difficulties which all the measures of the Whig Cabinet have had to encounter, we are inclined to attribute but little influence to General HARRISON'S death. His life could scarcely have altered the strength of parties ; the measures at first proposed were those of his Cabinet, and we attribute the failure of the Whigs much more, therefore, to the short coming, to the impracticability, and to the injus tice of their policy, than to the death of the late President. Let us take 111 r. WEBSTER'S own account of their policy on two great points on which the Americans are divided, protection and a national bank. He says, " they have succeeded in carry ing a law which is specific and discriminating, and imposes duties above 20 per cent." Such a tariff he describes as " the protection of domestic industry," which should be " inwrought," he says, "into the policy of all parties." The main feature of the Whig policy is a discriminating protection, as it is called, of native industry, such as that for which our landlords are always clamorous. But the protectionists in the United States have no such majority as our landlords ; and Mr. WEB STER'S important principle was affirmed in the long run by only one vote, given apparently more from weariness, and to get rid of unpro fitable discussion, than from the conviction that the tariff was a good measure. It is advan tageous, too, only to the manufacturers of Mas sachusets, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and perhaps to some interests in New York ; to the agriculturists of the Southern and Western States, who are exporters, and who, , like our cotton manufacturers, fear no competi tion with their own produce in their own country, it is injurious. It limits their markets in foreign countries, and taxes them 20 per cent. and more on all their clothing and hardware, for the behoof of the manufacturers in the Eastern States. The Southern and Western States are those which are most rapidly increasing. Their interests are by far the greatest, and Mr. WEBSTER and his friends expect that they will submit to be taxed 20 per cent. in their consumption for the benefit of the minor interest of the Eastern States. With our opinions of what legislators call pro tection, but which we call spoliation, we must characterise the policy of the American Whigs, like the policy of our landlords, as essentially un just. But waiving that, is it to be expected that the Southern and Western States, which have already threatened to dissolve the Union, and have actually resisted an Act of Congress on ac count of discriminating duties, will, now that they have increased in strength, put up with fresh injury inflicted on them by the vote of one weary senator? Each State having a diffe rent government, and sometimes very different interests, there is a less strict union betwixt the States than between the counties of England. The Federal Government cannot long bind them all in submission to a rule which is partial and unjust to some. Suppose that Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Glasgow, and Birmingham, were each a separate State, united in federation with the counties of Rutland, Huntingdon, and' Kent, which will about represent the relation between the two interests of the United States, would it be possible long to maintain those inde pendent cities submissive to a policy which was framed for the exclusive advantage of these three English counties? But the case in America is stronger. The communities there are new, the fresh sprung and fresh arrived population of the Southern and Western States have no traditional feelings extending through a thousand years, connecting them with the Eastern States as one body. They are exclusively governed by present advantages, and past recollections will not make them sacrifice a groat a year to enrich the inhabitants of Boston, and maintain the factories at Lowell. The policy of the Whig party, therefore, as expounded by Mr. WEB STER in relation to protection, is at once unjust and short-sighted, based rather on European opinions than American wants, and having been passed by a limited support and extraordinary means, cannot possibly last. Its nature, in rela tion to the people it is intended for, is just as un wise as the law which keeps food out of England —the maintenance of the one accounts for the failure of the Tories here; the struggle for the other accounts for the proximate ruin of the Whigs in the United States. In Mr. WEBSTER'S own description of his party, there is the strongest reason to believe that its partial and uunational policy cannot en dure. It is worth quoting, both for its own truth and for the resemblance it indicates between factions abroad and factions at home. In the United States the democratic party had fallen into general opprobrium, like our Whigs; and as here the Tories and Chartists united to get rid of Lord MELBOURNE'S Government, so there men of very different political creeds united to turn out Mr. VAN BUREN. Mr. WEBSTER says— We came in as a party made up of men of different opinions —embracing every complexion of political creed. There were men of extreme state rights' opi nions—of extreme federal opinions —there were tariff men, and anti-tariff men. The country expected them, in a spirit of harmony, union, and cordial sym pathy, to agree to save her from the effects of the ruin ous measures of the last Administration. The whole history of the revolution of 1840 preaches to the Whig party kindness, forbearance, conciliation, friendship, sympathy, and union. They have shown their forbearance by carry ing a tariff by a chance vote, after a long struggle, against the interest of the majority of the people; they have sacrificed the public union to their own selfishness ; and instead of being remem bered hereafter as patriots, like WASHINGTON and FRANKLIN, they will appear in history, like cur landlords, as the blind and ignorant de stroyers of their country's greatness. Protection to industry is the sad slang of men in the old States of Europe, whose whole being is a burden on industry; and we regret to see it finding a home in the Weste rn wor ld , welcomed by such men as Mr. WEBSTER, when it is about to be given up here. We regret that he has not yet learned, to borrow the language of Miss MARTI-. NEM!, " that the true dignity of America is to follow out her own republican principles, instead of adopting the false principles and injurious policy of older and less favoured nations. If she would leave labour, and commerce, and capital free, disdaining interference at home and retalia tion abroad, showing her faith in the natural laws of social economy, by entirely committing to them the external interests of her people, she would become the pattern and instructress of the civilised world." But her WEBSTERS have not knowledge and the requisite faith, and they would sacrifice, if they be allowed, the welfare of that rising community to a servile imitation of the discredited policy of Europe. We shall reserve our remarks on the banking scheme of the American Whigs for a future occasion. There can be no doubt that the present con tention in society arises, like most contentions, from the desire for wealth. In some it takes the shape of a struggle for subsistence, in others, it is only the demand of something more than they have. There is not at present enough to satisfy all; some must go without, some get a great deal lets than their share, some have more than they know very well what to do with, and I discontent and contention pervade the whole. Of course the first object which a wise states -1 man contemplates is to increase the amount of wealth. To interfere with the distribution is to trench on the right of property, which it is his business to protect. At the same time expe rience has demonstrated that the statesman cannot add to the amount Of wealth in society. He has no means . to operate on the production, but by bounties, or duties, or prohibitions, all of which are, in fact, an interference with the dis tribution of wealth, and infringements on the t s e ri p t o i o w:r s: 0 r of therefore,lesseni lessening an o . ur c T o h n i putting right of propertye n d to them, by adding to the quantity of wealth in society, is extremely limited, or rather nil, and we must not look for redress or. assistance from any ability lie possesses to increase the stock of enjoyment. It is, however, evident from the fact that all the physical sources of our wealth are unimpaired, that the evils of our present condition are self imposed. It is only requisite to know the cause to be enabled to cure them. To say nothing now of any particular laws which flow from our opinions, it is sufficient to observe that to our opinions, our ignorance, or our imperfect know ledge, we must ascribe all the evils which plague us. Being extremely limited in our views, knowing accurately but a very few things, and being confined to a very limited sphere, we, nevertheless, seek to control and regulate all that our imagination can grasp. Ambition of one kind or another is at the bottom of our dis tresses, and seems equally to prompt the de mands of the Chartist and the usurpations of the priest. As we cannot expect much help from the lawmaker, it is perhaps worthy of one mo ment's consideration whether we cannot help ourselves. To inculcate kindliness and charity, forbearance and mutual indulgence, is the duty of a large body of men. To enforce the observ ance of these, and the more rigid duties of jus tice, is the business of another body; and were their example to conform to their precepts, great good would be effected. It is for them to be the models of society. If they wish the humbler classes not to be extremely anxious for their property, let them not be ava ricious themselves. If the lower classes must be taught not to grasp at political power, which it is said they cannot wield, let the upper classes not monopolise it, proving, by their mode of using it, that the lower classes could not possibly make more unjust legislators. If all are to be taught contentment, let the land owners be content with what justly comes to them, and not exert themselves covertly to get riches at the expense of the humbler classes. The lower classes are starving; let the upper classes forego some of their claims and privileges, and so take some share of the general burdens. The State, says EMERSON, in his " Man the Reformer," must consider the poor man, and all voices must speak for him. Every child that is born must have a chance for bread. Let the melioration in our laws of property proceed from the concession of the rich, not from the grasping of the poor. Let usbeginby habitual imparting. Let us understand that the equitable rule is that no one should take more than his share. That is the sort of wisdom which our ruling classes should now practise. Let them not take more than their share—let them make concession— and then they will soon have no reason to com plain of the grasping of the poor. If the great and the rich cannot be brought to understand that it is for their advantage to make concession, to follow the equitable rule, the need of such a quiet improvement will beget a fearful change The speech of the King of HOLLAND on open ing the Chambers, which will be found in another part of The San, represents that country in a condition somewhat like our own. Ti►e taxes are falling off, and the imposts are to be in creased. The indigent do not diminish, and trade does not flourish. To compensate fbr the national distress the people are told of happy marriages in the Royal Family, and of the reci procal love between the SOVEREIGN and his sub jects. They cannot live long on that, and the sagacity of the Hollanders, like the sagacity of our own people, must be directed to investigate tole cause of their suffering, and the means of remedying it. A woful apathy seems to prevail in Downing street respecting the Chinese war. Ten days ago all the London journals published full de tails of the capture of Chapo, and by this time the news has been spread over the continent of Europe, while the official account, containing some interesting facts, appears in the Gazette only on Tuesday. Did the festivities at Dray ton prevent the Prime Minister and Lord ABER DEEN from reading the dispatches, or were they stowed away in the Oriental steamer, and for gotten till she reached England ? Whatever may be the cause of this unaccountable delay, the public, and especially the families of the brave men engaged in this contest, have great cause of complaint, in being left so long without an official announcement of the events, and obliged to collect what accounts they can from news papers and correspondents. Some of the facts mentioned in Sir HUGH Gouaies dispatch possess great interest, both as regards the city of Chapo, the surrounding country, and the character of the singular people with whom we are now engaged in war. It appears that every male adult of the Tartar race is a soldier, as in every house occu pied by them two or three muskets, with a quantity of swords, bows, and arrows, were found. This privilege, however, is confined to the Mantchoo Tartars, as the arms for the Chinese, the conquered race, are piled up in arsenals and fortresses. From this may be in ferred the distrust with which the Tartar dynasty view the great bulk of the population, and also the facility with which they might be roused against their masters. Another remarkable feature in this contest was exhibited while the English officers were reconnoitering the place. Though the heights commanding the town and the suburbs were crowned with Chinese soldiers, and the two small steamers used in this operation were within gun-shot, they were suffered to pass and repass without a shot being fired at them. This incident forms a strong argument for pro secuting the war with vigour, in order to bring the dispute to a successful issue before these simple a nd unwarlike people acquire the knowledge of European tactics. If it is suffered to drag on at this slow rate, so suited to the taste of our rulers, our army in a few years will find opponents of a different character, and the British Government will not obtain reason able terms, which are now within their reach, without vast expense and loss of life. We must give them credit, however, for one proof of wis dom and humanity—namely, the instructions communicated to the commanding officers to protect theXhinese people of every class and grade, and war only with the Government and the military forces. This has already produced great effects on the inhabit an ts of Ni ng p o , an d other c,,u laetae vdpinlagitc,,e, occupiedi. nsays, t T h t e e t s t l o im i r s a v o n t f us i d t f u br many uGIHof satisfactoryGnmen that peace ably o u ti, months, ev trust,manner,a the v n i n c e h a n b d i t e a e n p t s f e o e f l t n h g a n t f p r a e r s t p e t) c f t t a h n e d C g h r a e k am in o n n g g prn titude for the orderly and forbearing conduct of the British soldiers." We know not that we ever read or heard of a more ridiculous farce than that which was enacted on Tuesday at the Middlesex Sessions, be fore Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a full Bench of sapient, awful-looking Magistrates. It s eems that a young urchin named SHANNON, who has hardly yet escaped from his leading-strings, was induced some days since, at the instigation of the DEVIL, to make free with a twopenny pie, and, not content with this fiendish act of atrocity, to transfer the abstracted dainty to that receptacle for stolen goods, his mouth, with a rapidity and recklessness which shows how complete was the ascendancy which the Evil One had acquired over him! To aggravate the enormity of his crime, the abandoned male fitctor actually attempted to make free with a second pie, but, fortunately for the ends of jus tice, he was detected before he could accom plish his " diabolical" intentions; and the result of this providential discovery—for providential it certainly must have been —was, that two formid able indictments were brought against him, duly setting forth the particulars of his guilt, with that eloquent and captivating minuteness for which the law is so remarkable. He was, in conse quence, introduced yesterday to the special notice of Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, when the pro secutrix having given her evidence, witnesses were called to character, and two or three Irish labourers bore triumphant testimony to the un sullied purity of the prisoner's morals, by observing that he " could run of an errand as well as any boy in the three kingdoms!" Of course, there was no disproving such conclu- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1R42 The Madrid Gazette of the 10th contains a decree of the REGENT, extending the benefit of the amnesty of the 30th of November, 1840, to the Carlists, subalterns and privates, still con fined in the presidios, who were not included in the Convention of Bergara. All the Moderado Journals loudly complained that the Christino exiles should be excluded from this act of mercy, and declared that a mea sure betraying the rancour and atnbition of the present rulers of the country was little calculated to consolidate their power. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 13th instant states that the Turkish post had just arrived in that city from Constantinople, bringing letters to the 28th ult., announcing that the PORTE had published a hatti-scheriff, in which, without having taken into consideration the representa tions of the European Powers, it establishes an administration for the Maronites and Druses purely Turkish. It is added that an ultimatum had been forwarded to Persia. No news had been received from Servia. Tl►e Three per Cents. were done at 21f at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 261 I 1-16 for cash, and 27 26! 4 I at 60 days. The debt bearing no interest sold for 5 11-16 at 60 days. The Paris papers received are chiefly occu pied with the proposed commercial union be tween Belgium and France. In adverting to commercial treaties in general the Siecle makes the following judicious remarks, which apply to other countries : " A Customs union between France and Belgium has always appeared to us to answer a political interest of the first order. Commercial associations bring about a complete fusion of tendencies and ideas. Two people, between whom no barrier is placed to the free interchange of their productions, find themselves so united to each other that their political unity need not be written in treaties. Let those who deny this powerful influence of positive interest cast their eyes on Germany, and they will be compelled to acknow ledge that the Customs Union has operated a great political revolution, which has changed an incomplete mass of incongruous elements into an imposing and energetic ensemble. " The German Customs Union has effected a power ful change in the political position of Europe. It has placed unity where there was formerly division, and strength where there was weakness ; it has opened a new era to the confederations of people, united by similar ideas, institution, and interests. " We cannot understand why so much alarm should be felt at the idea of the competition of Belgium in our markets. Our soil is not less rich than that of Belgium, and our national industry will not yield to them the palm ; and, therefore, the dangers which are anticipated are mere illusions. The Presse endeavours to show that the Ger man Zollverein cares little, about Belgium ; that it looks with contempt on so small a market, and can very well do without Belgian iron; whilst its own woollen and linen manufactures undersell those of Belgium. If so, the Zollverein, if it has less to hope from a commercial union with Belgium, has also less to fear. The National mentions a report that Count MOLE and M. TifiEtts were about to ent er th e Cabinet. (4 We do not guarantee this news," says the National, " although it is more than probable. M. TIIIERS has boasted that he could arrange the negotiations pending with Belgium, and induce the Chambers to agree to a commer cial treaty with England. It is not impossible that M. Tutuns may again resume office by means of plausible speeches on those subjects; but what is certain is, that if M. TRIERS enters the Cabinet by the door of commercial treaties, he will make much noise, an d i n t h e en d w ill not satisfy the commercial interests of France better than he defended her honour in the unfortunate Eastern affairs."

On the preceding day the rear-guard was followed by BEN SALEM, with some cavalry and Kabyles. After some firing on the part of the assailants, the French troops assumed the offensive, and put the enemy to flight. In this affair the French had only one soldier killed, and 11 wounded, but unfortunately Colonel LE BLOND, of the 48th Regiment of the Line, was killed by two balls fired from a bush while he was reconnoitring the ground. Some sensation was caused at the Paris races on Sunday, by a mart (name unknown) ascending an eminence and blowing out his brains with a pistol, in the sight of thousands of spectators.

His Excellency Count de St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador, visited the Noble Earl in the afternoon, at the Foreign-office. Baron de Moncorvo, the Portuguese Minister, M. Tricoupi, the Grecian Minister, and Baron de Nieu mann, transacted business yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governor of St. Helena. The provisions )f the new Fishery Act are about being enforced by the gentry of every county in Ireland. The gentry of Meath have recently associ ated themselves for the purpose of carrying the law into effect on the Boyne, where, heretofore, an in discriminate slaughter of salmon was carried on by every description'of nets, we irs, &c., and that to such an extent as al mos t to destroy the shing of the rive r . The closest approach made in this life to immorta lity is by annuitants. They are certainly the longest lived of the human race. sive reasoning as this, and young SHANNON was accordingly acquitted, while those who advised the prosecution and drew up the indictments, were left with nothing to console them, but the very unsatisfying reflection, that virtue is its own reward. Seriously speaking--though the affair is hardly worth treating seriously—the Jury acted perfectly right in returning a verdict of Not Guilty ; for the case was one which should never have been brought before them; and the uncontrollable laughter of the whole Court during the investigation, proved that it was looked on as quite a burlesque of jus tice. Equally judicious was the Learned Ser geant's refusal to allow the expenses of two in dictments for " such a trumpery case ;" had lie acted otherwise, and ; countenanced, instead of ridiculing, the proceedings, the breed of SHAN NONS would have multiplied with marvellous rapidity, and the Bars of our different Courts of Justice would have been crowded with precocious pie-stealers. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Ottbitc ptitton. " Who runs may read." FOR.EIGN. A letter from Athens, 30th ult., says :—" The King and Queen set out to-day on a visit to some of the islands of the Archipelago. They will be absent ten or twelve days. Letters from Constantinople of the 2Sth ult., an nounce that the Porte, in spite of the representations of the European Powers, has established a purely Turkish Government over the Maronites and Druses. An ultimatum had been sent to Persia." A new Governor is about to be sent out to the French colony of Cayenne. Ab-del-Kader, who a:short time ago was in so cri tical a position that he was wandering on the borders of the desert with only SO followers, has now 800 cavalry and 2,000 infantry under his command. Baron Fagel, the Minister of the Netherlands, had a private audience of the King yesterday, to deliver to his Majesty a letter from his Sovereign, announcing the marriage of his daughter, the Princess Sophia, with the hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar Eisenach. A small mosque is about to be erected in the Quar tier Beaujon, for the use of the Mahometans residing in Paris. During the week, from the 7th to the 13th inst. inclusively, the number of passengers between France and England, who embarked and landed at Boulogne, was 1,239. At Calais the number during the same period was 537. On the sth of this month the English fleet was still cruising between Malta and Sicily. Rio de Janeiro papers to the 17th August had been received at Pernambuco, previous to the sailing of the packet. Everything there was going on well. Senhor Beato Manoel, one of the rebel chiefs from Rio Grande, had arrived at Rio, having made his submis sion. The elections at Pernambuco have terminated in favour of the present Government, and as far as they had proceeded at Bahia they were equally so. Certain of the Paris journals, remarkable for their hostility to England, appear willing at present to sup port a commercial treaty with this country, based upon a concession in favour of the wine-growing in terest. The Constitutionnel, however, seems to con sider that the concessions should be all on one side, and modestly proposes that it should be a treaty by which the chief manufactures of France shall not be injured, and that agriculture shall draw from it serious advantages. M. 11 — affo, the Secretary to the Bey of Tunis, has arrived at Marseilles on an important mission to the French Court. It is affirmed in one of the French papersthat this mission is relative to the intermin able question about Tunis, which is always on the point of being decided, and to which the Ottoman Porte continually returns with extraordinary obstinacy. MONEY-TILADE-COMMERCE. The shipping employed in the timber trade between Liverpool and the North American colonies, and the timber also in the same proportion, is expected to show a decrease of nearly two-thirds before the termination of the winter. A party who has visited Cranborne, in Dorset, during the last week, describes the parish as containing 2,444 inhabitants, chiefly farm-labourers, and all dependent on agriculture. Wages are at present Bs. a week, but that allowance is frequently reduced, and all talk of a reduction. At these low wages Cranborne has a redundancy of labourers, and many can find no employment. Large quantities of timber have, within these few days been taken out of bond at Leith, by reason of the new tariff, which came into operation last Mon day. Timber formerly paying 10s. per load, is now cleared at ls. ECCLESIASTICAL. The Bishop of Jerusalem has been twice attacked with fever, and his lady and household more or less severely, since their arrival in the Holy Land. They are now staying in an old convent, about two miles from Jerusalem, for change of air. MEDICAL. The new Queen's Hospital at Birmingham has been recognised by the College of Surgeons, and Frince Albert has accepted the office of President. LAW AND POLICE, No less than 57 petitions from various parishes in East Sussex were presented at the Quarter Sessions at Lewes, held on Tuesday, for the abolition of the rural police force. The new Parish Constables Act is considered a sufficient protection. Eleven men were brought up at Union-hall on Tuesday, charged for refusing to break stones and chop wood for four hours each, in return for a night's lodging anti breakfast provided them in the Newing ton workhouse. They were committed for four days each to the House of Correction. James Andrews, formerly a policeman of the M division, was charged at the Marylebone-office on Tuesday with a daring street robbery, and fully com- Mitted for trial. LITERARY AND scuarrxric. The poet Louis Tieck has been nominated by the King of Prussia to the post of scenic director of the Grand Opera of the capital. COURT-TASIIXONAELE. The Earl and Countess of Desart have been enter taining a select circle at Desart Castle. The Earl and Countess of Lichfield are expected to winter at Naples. The Earl and Countess of Chesterfield are among' the numerous English fashionables who intend to winter at Rome. Lord Kelburne, M.P., left the Clarendon Hotel on Tuesday for the north. Lord and Lady Ponsonby have deferred their con templated visit to Brighton until the ensuing week. Lord and Lady Mahon have been visiting the Duke of Wellington during the past week at Walmer Castle. The Earl and Countess of Cawclor have arrived on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Harwood. The Lord Great Chamberlain and Lady Willoughby D'Eresby have arrived on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch at Dalkeith Palace, from Drummond Castle. Lady Mary Leslie has taken a suite of apartments at the Norfolk Hotel, Brighton. Lord and Lady Evelyn are staying on a visit at Balborne House, Fifeshire. MISCELLANEOUS. Count Rossi, the husband of Mdlle. Sontag, is about to he named Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of Sardinia to the Prussian Court. A meeting of the members of the Voluntary Church Association was held on Tuesday in Finsbury, for the purpose of taking leave of Sir Culling E. Smith, prior to his departure for the Continent. Thomas Platt, Esq., whose death took place on the Bth inst., and whose professional practice for more' than sixty years has been of the highest order, was admitted an attorney on the 26th of May, 1780. He was successively principal clerk to Lords Mansfield, Kenyon, and Ellenborough, Chief Justices of Eng land. He was engaged, among the literary efforts of his life, in sharing part in the publication of the Flora Grew Sibthorpiana, a work which has ultimately reached ten folio volumes of great beauty.

An example of this may be adduced in the case of the late Lord Wellesley and Lord Broug ham. The one the bosom friend and ardent, admirer of Mr. Pitt; the other equally wedded to the opinions of Mr. Fox. Lord Brougham was a frequent visitor at Kingston House, where his bust was placed by the Noble resident immediately opposite to that of Mr. Pitt. On the death of the only daughter of his Lord ship, in her 18th year, whose life had been one conti nual illness, borne with great resignation, and even with a cheerful and gay temper of mind, he requested an epitaph from Lord Wellesley, who composed the following beautiful lines, which we give beta in Latin and English, from his Lordship's pen : " Blanda anima e cunis, heti ! longo exercita morbo Inter maternal, heu! laerymasque patris, Quas rise lenire tuo . jueunda solebas, Et levis, et propru vix memor ipsa mall ; pete ctelestes ' übi nulls est cura , recessus ! " Et tibi sit nullo mista dolore quies !" Doomed to long suffering from your earliest years, Amidst your parents' grief and pain alone Cheerful and gay, you smiled to soothe their tears, And in their agonies forgot your own ; Go, gentle spirit ; and among the blest, From grief and pain eternal be thy rest." We regret to state that the fine old acacia tree, standing between the chapel at Magdalene College and the President's lodgings, fell to the ground last week. It ,has again been raised, and an attempt made to preserve the venerable occupant of perhaps more than 100 years' standing, by lopping off its top branches and supporting the - trunk ; but we much fear that the attempt will prove ineffeatial.---4ixford MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNEDAY E VENING . The Stock mark e t c l ose d well this evening, and we hear, cdntrary to expectation, of another purchase of Reduced Annuities by the Government broker, being on account of the East India Annuity Fund. Con sols leave off at 93 1 for Money, and 931 to / for the Account. Discounts to-day were called 2+ to 24- per cent. on first class mercantile bills. Exchequer Bills were 555. to 575. prem., and New Three-and-a- Half per Cents., 1011 to 101 i ; Bank Stock was a shade higher. The Foreign Bonds were steady at the previous rates, except Spanish Actives, which were at 168 f o f, and the Thre e p er C en t s . a t 211 , b e i ng a tr i fle h i gher. Mexican Stock was at 32+, and Colombian at 201. Portuguese New Five per Cents. brought 38, the Con verted Stock 31/ to 32, and the Three per Cents. 221. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 52k; Austrian, 113. The Brighton Shares were steady, but there was less doing in them. There were a few sales in Bir mingham and Gloucester, Cheltenham and Great West ern, Eastern Counti es , &c., at about former quotatio ns . The merchants atte n d e 'Change again this after noon as early as three o'clock, and seem generally well pleased with the alteration. By four o'clock the ma jority " cleared off." (From The Sun of Last Night..) The Penguin packet, arrived with the Brazilian mail, furnishes advices of August 15th from Rio de Janeiro ; July 29, from Monte Video and July 15, from Buenos Ayres. Th e s t a t e of trade in all these quarters appears to be very bad, and in the Brazils especially the greatest difficulty was experi enced in obtaining a settlement of accounts with the natives. The British merchants, therefore, were not disposed to do business, and the exchange had been down to 24k, though last quoted 25i. The Six per Cent. Stock was 69 to 70. The Coffee crop will be deficient. The South American Republics continued wretch edly embroiled. Bolivia was on bad terms with Buenos Ayres, Chili was expected to make war, Uriguay is likely to be driven by the tacit assump tion of Roses for sovereignty over it, to the asser tion of its independence, and the Oriental State is waxing stronger to resist its enemies. The Spa nish and Portuguese journals from South Ame rica are filled with the details of massacres, bloodshed, and outrage. Only 1,200 bales of cotton were sold at Liverpool yesterday; and in Railway Shares there was a mode. rate business doing at former rates. There are but limited sales of produce to-day, but Indigo is higher, having been taken on speculation. In the Funds there is only a moderate business doing, and prices are supported. Consols are 934 to 931 for present transfer, and 931 for time; Exchequer Bills are 555. to 575. premium ; and India Bonds 465. to 48s. premium ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1004 to 1004 ; and the Three per Cent. Annuities 921 to 921 ; Bank Stock is 165 to 166. Foreign Stocks are neglected. Spanish Actives, however, have improved, to 161 and 16+; and the Three per Cents. are steady, at 211. Colombian Bonds are 201 and Portuguese N ew , 38. Th e Con verted Stock Crings 314 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 521. Railway Shares are generally inactive, Great Western being 171 premium, but Brighton have been brisk at 134 to 131 discount.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 16.—Their Royal Highnesses the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe Wiemar Eisenach, left the Hague yesterday to pro ceed to Wiemar. AMSSERDAM, OCT. 15.—The report of the wreck of the Bellona, published by the Zeepost, caused an extra ordinary sensation here, so that the Austrian Consul-Ge neral, and other authorities, immediately repaired to the spot to give all the assistance in their power. Hap pily, the whole was unfounded. Nobody here can conceive how the Zeepost was induced to publish such a false statement. OPENING OF THE ORDINARY SESSION OF 1842 AND 1843. THE HAGUE, OCT. 17.—This solemnity took place to-day in the usual manner. At one o'clock, the King left his Palace, accompanied by the Prince s , an d a brilliant staff. A salute of artillery announced his de parture from the Palace. The inhabitants, who crowded the streets through which he passed, received him with the loudest accla mations. His Majesty being introduced into the As sembly by the deputation appointed for the purpose. placed himself before the throne, and delivered the following speech : " NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS,—On opening the present Session of the States-General, the first desire of my heart is to speak to you of the union of my beloved daughter with the Hereditary Grand Duke of Saxe Wiemar Eisenach. " I have reason to believe that this union, with the blessing of Heaven, will :contribute to the happiness of my beloved daughter. " My prayers and the interest which you take will accompany my daughter and her husband. She, on her part, will never forget her country, to which all my family are so intimately attached. "In lately visiting several provinces of the king dom, it was with the most lively satisfaction that I re ceived from my subjects the most marked proof of at tachment arid affection, and it is soothing to my heart to be assured in this manner, that my beloved sub jects are not ignorant to what high degree they are sure of my reciprocal attachment. " The relations of the Netherlands with Foreign Powers have been marked by mutual friendship and good will. _ " The negociations with Belgium for the complete execution of the Treaty of London have been prosecuted .with all the attention which this important question requires. "I have the satisfaction to be able to announce to you that the respective Plenipotentiaries have latelyagreed on the basis of an arrangement which includes all the points which have hitherto remained in dispute, and I therefore trust that the treaty will be signed in a few days. The Navy of the kingdom is in as satisfactory a condition as the sums granted in the budget permit ; only our arsenals require improvements which are at this moment a subject of attention. " According to what circumstances require the most suitable means are constantly employed to put the de fences of the country on a respectable footing. "The good will and zeal of the officers and soldiers have allowed the time of the exercise of the militia to be again shortened. "The special commission appointed to revise the laws relative to the militia and commercial guards has met with so many difficulties in its proceedings, that it cannot be certainly affirmed whether the n ew projects of law on this subject can be discussed during the present session. " Order and regularity continue to be remarked in the internal administration. " The organization of the police requires ameliora tion in several partS of the kingdom. Measures are preparing to provide an effectual remedy. " Primary instruction, under the influence of the late ordinances, affords satisfactory, results. 44 continue to turn all my attention to the other branches of public instruction, and there is reason to rejoice at the state of the sciences and the increase and prosperity of the arts. " With respect to the Benevolent Society it is in tended to submit to the States- GPneral some legis lative measures on this subject. "The situation of the indigent classes is particularly the subject of earnest solicitude. Measures are in preparation which may better fulfil the proposed ob jects than those which are founded on the existing law. " Our Colonial posseSsions enjoy a satikactory state of tranquillity ; agriculture aLd manufactures con tinue to make progress in our East India possessions, though the shock which credit has received has dimi nished their resources. " The internal situation of our West India colonies, _ , •• the prosperity of which is paralysed . by • divers causes; is the subject of serious deliberation. " The completion of the penal code, and the succes sive amelioration of the different branches of the Le gislation, are prosecuted with all diligence. " The second book of the penal code will be Pre" rented to you during th ese sess i ons, as we ll as some :,,; of the projects of law; th e o bj ec t o f one o f them is to ' regulate the execution of the enactments of the finida* mental law respecting the leave to retire granted, 4 3 , certain cases, to members'of the judicial order. " The less flourishing condition, in some branches • of commerce and manufactures, has not been without influence on some taxes, which have fallen short of the original estimate. "The slight difference produced by these two causes is, however, made up for by the surplus i n other branches. r - "The hope that th e con t r ib ut i on f rom t h e co lohlol resources, which were below the estimate in 1841, , would be made up for by the produce of the current year has not been realised. The continuance in ,the , decline in the price of colonial produce has ur n caused a very considerable deficit. " Taking these results as a basis, the colonial con' tributions during the next two years must neces - sarily be assumed at a lower sum in estimating the i revenues of the State. -1 " Though the b u d ge t o f th e rece i pt an d expendi ture for 1844 and 1845 will present in its chapters indubitable proofs of a serious desire to effect silnPl i " fication and economy, and especially a remarlish` ,e- 4 diminution in the total amount, it will, nevertheless,' be necessary to increase a little the ordinary mea ns in order to balance the expenses. " And an increase of the duties on inheritance sad stamps has appeared the most suitable and least • onerous means of obtaini ng thi s o bj ect. vit• ° " However, my d es i re to make some reduction i n ,1 other taxes will, I h o p e , be fulfilled, though circum stances do not permit it t o b e d one to t h e extent t bat hilt I could have wished. " The draft of the new tariff of import, expOT' and transit duties, is sufficiently advanced for the'eP i. niol of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufantu,,,r es ' and of the Com m i ss i ons o f A gr i culture, to be tPeen4 consulted. " The account o f th e rece i pt and expenditure of t State for 1842 and the preceding years will 'be laid ` before you. The inspection the accounts will deinwif strate that some overpl us h as been applied to clear ° as 1 the preceding arrears . Si nce the credit of the fn% for the iron r a il roa d s f rom A msterdam to Arnbe.l. has been separat e d f rom t h e extraord i nary rece i p t; „-• - dicated in the balance of the budget, by an insegr tion in the second b oo k o f th e P u bli c De b t, the ,‘="s vernment still has the f acu lt y o f creat i ng a ca pita l s 6,000,000, to which recourse will be had in pro as the treasury may be in need of it, though it ill "- possible at present to specify at what time.
