OCTOBER 14, 1642. - Marc,,of the country do not equally rejoice in a ~ r ofid,harvest. Complaints are loud and nu- Met'ollA •in IF.s:iex. They are whining and bitter At an agricultural meeting held at the latter county, onFriday last, Cuc . a leading farmer, gave this account of the deficiency of the crops, and the probable Lion of the labourers bad heard the Noble Duke of Rutland speak of yir excellent harvests; but that remark, he was sorry to say,. did not hold good with regard to this county or Surrey. Coming as he did to-day from the latter county, where he had heard of men being tiestL:.ll already turned oft their constant employ, and hearing at Reigate and the adjoining parishes that their crops had been so bad that they could not employ more than three-fourths of the hands whom they employed last year, he asl;ed what was to become of those la bourers who were discharged from their employment —(Clear, hear.) He feared that they were in the same state in the Weald of Sussex ; and he wished to call the attention of the meeting to the employment of the labourers during the ensuing winter, because he w:ls satisfied that the farmers in the Weald of Sussex would feel great difficulty in meeting the demands that would be made upon them, and giving constant employment to their labourers during the winter. The Chairman of the meeting. Lieut.-Col. ELLWOOD, noticed that Sir C. BURRELL had, at Horsham, a few days before, adverted to the destitution of the labourers, and recommended his neighbours to employ them, by way of cha rity, trenching for potatoes. Then Mr. WOOD said — He was obliged to those gentlemen who had pointed out the difficulties of the coming winter ; but he should have been still more gratifi e d, if they had pointed out the means of averting those difficulties. 31r. Ellinah continued —H e h a d introduced the subject' for the purpoSe - of provoking discussi on , for the difficulty was almost too great f or hi m to grapple with. When he knew that in the Weals of Sussex and Su Trey the'farmers had' not grown more than half a crop, when he knew that their expenses were very great, when he knew that instead of re turning three Tents and in the better land four rents, the farmer would this year scarcely return two, how, he asked, was that farmer to meet his expense.? for the cur rent lea,. ? It was a question of deep moment; and that question he left to the meeting to solve. He hoix-1 , :1 - and trusted that . the landlords would come for warl and unl,?.ss they did, he could not imagine how the ilijfkwlties w ere to be overcome. The Chaim= said it was his duty, as Chairman, to speak home truths. He had been told to-day that there was a great deficiency' of straw this year, so that the farmers ',lad very little thrashing to do. The -remedy for this difficulty was, he thought, a better state of cultivation. Mr. EhLMAN returned to the charge— lie said it xas the opinion of some of the farmers of the Weald of Suri!ey, that their wheat would not average this year m ore th an th ree sac k s t o th e acre. , beari ,. ng in m i n d t h e s h ortness of the crop, w hi c h :was about irom one-half to two-thirds of the average, and that the l oss was increased by the panic—whetherincreased exiled thr or not, h e would not was now to f t discuss 4h: li stop t o scuss— e (lid not see how the farmer por an in- Asroased cultivation: fie knew that the farmer osadd not be able to meet his usual expenses. How tilt!.n could lie meet increased expenses distress Nyou!(.l, he was afTaid, fall most heavily on the kbourers. When lie heard of the distress of the ar farmers, and that they were obliged to turn of/ Awlve hands ,from one _farm, he could easily ca l c ,il.," t , the number of han 3 s that would be out of employ anent. He knew there were several union houses in Surrey that were, he might say, overstocked, and that there were many labourers out of employ, who did not know where to go to earn their bread. If those labOm•ers were thrown upon the farmers, who bad not the means to employ them, their backs would be hroizen_ Sach linpkwant prth:pects for the agricultural labourere and for the farmers, are not confined to Sus.iex. In Kent, that pattern county for loyal squires, intelligent parson-magistrates, and -well-educated peasantry, we are told that the farm.:Ts 'are (Elquissing their labourers in all direi•f.i , ,ts. Ai i4ttt four months ago, S:r jAm Es info.mied the Tory-admiring public, and the, seryiLe Parliament, that there were 3,2;),),w.) pntyows in England alone. Now, the ,unio;l , sorliou:les of the agricultural districts, iminediately on the completion of harvest—when the labott.re . 4 min t, if ever, have somethintx, ac •iint2; to Mr. ..ELLMA.N—are overstocked, and o'd . their hands by do -tens. tirear. prospe.et does this Open for the 'sinter, when the 1 400,000 paupers will, nw , t , be intreased to 2,000,000, while the says, is unable t o meet tit nuer, as Rr. :au:LAN COT - Ann What his usual expenses ! Those who live in the agri- t cultural districts look for greatly increased rates and greatly diminished means to pay them, or to employ the labourers. _ _ The Brighton Gazette has stated that some farmers and landowners have declared their in tention of discharging labourers to meet the Income-tax. That must be the case. The land lord might have compassion on the tenant — the tax-gatherer will have none ; and the farmer is preparing to meet him by lessening the sum he pays for wages. Such an effect of the tax was foreseen by all persons, though it was con,sisten with the system of deceit prac tised by the Tories to represent the tax as falling wholly on property, and inflicting no injury on the labourer. It is quite useless to preach to the farmer, as some persons do, about humanity and patriotism ; he sees that either he or the labourer must go to the workhouse, and he is not such a fool to go thither himself to please his Tory landlord and some Tory scribes, and so he dismisses his labourers. For the extra bands: of the agricultural dis tricts there will now be found no ',employment in the manufacturing districts. The landlords have taken care to stifle their trade and means of employing the people. The pauperism they have engendered will now overwhelm their own lands. Never was retribution more plain and more just. Never did a punishment more certainly and clearly follow an offence. They have dammed up the outlets which carried off the surplus population from the land, and now, when farmers turn off their hands, they fall on the land for support. It is perhaps possible for an in dividual to escape—or at least appear, to our short-sighted views, to escape—the punishment of his offences; but it is not possible for a nation. He may slink into some'hole, or travel on some bye path through life, and imagine he is for gotten; but where can a great nation hide itself from its own deeds, so that they shall not follow and find it out? It cannot escape the conse quences of its acts ; and now we see the guilt of England, in spurning?the bounties of Pro vidence and keeping food out of the land, bringing on her the most alarming evils. The whole Press has only done justice to Lord Chief Justice TINDAL'S charge, in describing it as a calm, clear, and masterly exposition of the law. It exaggerated no facts, it exasperated no feelings. It gave to those who were to be tried an assurance that they would be fairly dealt with, and would not find in their Judge a ran corous political opponent. They could have no apprehension that the law which was so pro perly explained would be strained or perverted to take away their lives or their liberties. kcarly the whole Press has only done justice to die charge delivered by Lord ABINGER at Liver pool, in describinx it as the very opposite to the charge of Sir N. TINDAL. Even heated partisan Tory journals, which cordially approve of the political sentiments or Lord ABINGER, and en tirely concur in his hostility to Chartists and master manufacturers, justly and vehemently condemn the use of such language as he held on the Bench. These passages (said the Morning Herald yesterday) are also excellently adapted for the House of Lords, but we do think there are sentences in them much misplaced in the charge of a Judge, who, in all pro bability, will have fo try some of the very Chartists whose conduct and designs he thus decidedly con demned. If some of the Chartist prisoners should, upon arraigment before Lord .Abinger and a petty jury, object to be tried before a tribunal thus con stituted, on the ground of the very strong opinions contained in this charge, their objection will surprise no one. Is it prudent then in Lord Abinger to risk the occurrence of so unseemly a scene? We will pass o►•er, with proper condemnation of the Noble Lord's political partisanship, all the hostility which he expressed towards the Chart to take notice of some of the Noble Lord's political economical doctrines. The people are much reproached because they do not reverence Bishops, who discourse about the duties of wear ing surplices and lighting candles, and Judges, who discourse from the bench about timings which they understand less than do the Bishops the art of wearing gowns or extinguishing- lights ; but how can men reverence those things which thee• believe to be folly or nonsew:e ? The mind dis- .criminates as well as the palate, and men may as well be reproached for not liking aloes or as safcetida, as for not reverencing a worldly Bishop or a partisan Judge. Whatever hostility the workmen in the manufacturing districts may have to the master manufacturers—and we have good reason to believe their hostility is intense —and however much further they may desire to go than the Anti-Corn-law League, there is not, we believe, one of them out of a thousand, who is not an opponent of the Corn-laws. They will not demand a repeal of those laws; because they say that would not ensure them against fu ture oppression ; they want the Charter. There is not one them of who is - not painfully convinced both that employment has been lessened as food has risen in price, and that their wages, which have not been increased, would not procure them as much food in dear as in cheap times. There is not one of them, therefore, who will not treat Lord ABINGER'S assertion that " the price (meaning, we presume, rate) of wages must de pend on the price of provisions," with contempt. They all know pretty well the price of provisions in Ireland and in the United States, and know also the rate of wages in the two countries; they know still better what has been the rate of their own wages, as provisions have risen or fallen in price, and they openly say Lord ABINGER knows nothing about the matter. From contemning his opinions, they will speedily come to contemn the man; and Lord ABINGER, by mixing silly errors with his avowed hatred of Chartism, may bring the whole Bench into contempt. We should suppose that there was some error in the report of Lord ABINGER'S charge, but we find the phrase, " 'mice of wages " repeated. What does Lord ABINGER mean by the price of wages? Wages is the price of 'labour, and those who speak of the price of wages, confuse all language. Ninepence is the price of a loaf; does any person ever speak of time price of nine pence ? And why, then, should he speak of the price of eightpence, that being the day's wag es of an agricultural labour er i n Devonshire If the Judge means to say that that eightpence will buy as much flour when it sells - at thirty pence a bushel, as when it sells at twelvepence, we should at least understand his proposition, however we might dissent front it. If he means to say that the rate of wages always rises as the price of provisions rises, we could understand that too; but it would be so obviously untrue, that he could mean no such thing. The phrase-- which, as far as we know, is of Lord ABINGER'S invention—seems to have been used,. either because the Noble Lord had no clear ideas of what he was speaking of, or because he desired to mystify the subject. We might, were it worth while, correct some more of the Noble Lord's errors, whose reading on these important subjects seems not to have extended beyond the pages of the Herald and the Post, but he is, we fire afraid, too old to learn, and seems, from what we recollect of the man, to have hardened in error as he advanced in years. Of his law we pretend not to Judge,. but his doctrine about wages and the price of provisions. as far as we understand It, is so erroneous, that it will certainly be, in fact we know has been laughed at in Lancashire. The Animals' Friend Society of Mark-lane have calmed William Ashsted to be fined 16s. 6d. by the Mayor and Bench at Canterbury, for great cruelty to a horse covered with wounds • but unfortunately an other case against Wm. was dismissed, on the mistaken idea tli4t it was necessary to state the ex of the anim a l ; and another charge, against Wm. Hickman, a drover, was d i smissed by ' Mr. Henry, at Lambeth-street, for great cruelty to a sheep ; but at Bow-street the Society caused John Doris's Dorches ter w aggoner, named John D ove, to be fined, for ill treatment of a horse. . The list which has appear e d o f Commissioners, said to he appointed under the new Bankruptcy Act, is in several instances incorrect.e the AN' fact, and th e means o f knowing what we state , int act,.and can at pre sent go so far as to .iln to eaitl b e as tha o t r Mie ot the new Com . thissioners,Horace Twiss, m whose nae has has a e y e e n t o i appointment. SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1842 COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR THURSDAY.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, we are happy to say, has entirely recovered from her late indisposition. Her Royal Highness, attended by Lady Charlotte Dundas and Sir George Couper, Bart., will join the Royal Circle at the Castle at dinner this evening. The Queen and her Illustrious Consort rode out this morning in the Home Park, in the favourite small pony phaeton, her Majesty driving. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken their usual airings. Prince Albert, attended by Sir Edward Bowater and Mr. George Edward Anson, enjoyed this morning a run with his Royal Highness's choice pack of beagles in the Great Park. Her Majesty and the Prince rode out in a pony phaeton in the afternoon, his Royal Highness driving, followed by a pony carriage and four, containing the Countess of Dunmore and the two Maids of Honour. The Equerries in Waiting being on horseback. Major-General Wemyss will join the Royal dinner party this evening. His Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Mecklenburgh Strelitz left town yesterday morning, to join his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge, at Leeds. A meeting of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, was held yesterday afternoon, at the Treasury. Lord Langdale, Master of the Rolls; the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; the Governor of the Bank of England, and the Deputy Governor, were the Commissioners present.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 11.—The serenade which the amateurs of this town offered to the new-married couple, took place on Sunday evening in the Picture Galleries. The King and Queen, the Prince and Princess of Orange, the other members of the Royal Family, the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar, the King's Minister, the diplomatic body, and persons belonging to the Court, were present. The sight of this rich and splendid Gallery, lighted by numerous chandeliers, was really magnificent. Among the pieces performed were some written for the occasion by M. Calisch, and composed by M. Lubrok, which were highly applauded. The ball on Monday evening in the Palace of the Noordeinde, was extremely magnifi cent, and the company very numerous. The pleasure of the company was only damped by the reflection that the young Princess, the ornament of the fetes at Court, was so soon to leave us ; in fact her departure is fixed for Saturday. MUNICH, OCT.

LONDON, Ou•r. 14, 1842. The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : s. d. West India 35 9} per cwt. East India 36 94 Mauritius 29 W The total average price of the three descriptions is 345. 1 ldi. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of tie importers, in the week ending the 4th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con. sisted of 21,482 cwt. West India, 12,820 cwt. East India, and 8,041 cwt. Mauritius. About 2,000 cwt. of Kaur, and dark damp Sugars, have been sold at from 20s. to 265. per cwt. ; the first kind being classed as East India, and the second as Mauritius, unfairly depresses the average prices: of those sorts of Sugars, and of course reduces the total average price of the three descriptions. There were several sales of foreign Sugar, on Wed nesday, the prices varying from 15s. to 21s. Sugar, of the average quality of West India, may be readily bought at 16s. per cwt. The monopolists obtain an excess of price at 19s. per cwt. Foreign _Molasses, good, is worth 7s. per cwt. The Government have advertised for 100 tons of Sugar. Why should not the navy be supplied with double refined Sugars from the bonded refineries in London, at 255. 6d. per cwt., rather than give the sailors unwholesome raw Sugar, at 355. per cwt. The account of the quarter's revenuo, just published, shows a falling off in Sugar duties of 183,8841., being a larger amount than that of the Income-tax collected for the quarter. The 313,8841., set down as Income tax, are the proceeds of deductions from the dividends in July last, and are, for half-a-year, as will be recol lected. RESTORATION of YORK MINSTER. On Thursday last the adjourned public meeting of the nobility and gentry of York, interested in the restoration of York Minster, was held in that city. Amongst the Noblemen and Gentlemen present, we recognized the following :—Lord Wharncliffe, Earl Fitzwilliam, Lord Feversham, Lord Wenlock, the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Duncombe, Octavius Dun combe, Esq., M.P., the Rev. W. V. Harcourt, Gran ville Harcourt Vernon, Esq., 11LP., the Venerable Archdeacon Wilberforce, the Venerable Archdeacon Todd, th e R ev. Dr. Hook, of Leeds, Richard Bothell, Esq., of Ri se . Lord Wharnelitre took the chair, and opened the meeting, after which the Report was read, detailing the progress which had been made in the different portions of the works under renovation. From the limited means, viz, of 4691., which had al ready been exceeded by an over-expenditure of 601., advancement could not be expected to he great. The bell, clock, and the arches and pillars of the nave had been repaired, and the vaulted ceiling of this last part of the edifice was next to be proceeded with. The Dean and Chapter, it was stated, had already supplied a sum of 4,000/. to the restoration of the nave, in ad dition to the sum of 6,0001. which they are now ex pending in repairs to the north transept necessary to the security of the fabric. It was calculated that if the whole of the requisite funds were placed at the disposal of the Committee the works of the nave would be finished early in the ensuing year. Mr. Smirke estimated that the expense of the whole would be 26,0001, ; the sum of 12,000/, is now needed to com plete the whole. THE WAR IN CHINA. —An account of the pro ceedings of our Naval and Military Force in the Chinese Seas, from an intelligent officer, who has taken an active part in them, has been greatly de sired; and this we are, at last, to have from a quarter that cannot fail to satisfy the expectations of the most exacting. Commander Bingham, lt.N., as First Lieutenant of the Modeste, one of the squadron most conspicuously , engaged throughout the war, w as an eye witness of every important affair with the enemy, and from his position unist easily have obtained th e fullest information of all mutters which did not come under his own observation. lit was seriously wounded in action, and having greatly dist*guished himself by his gallantry was promoted and saint home. The work he has announced, besides its professional value in the eves of the author's brother officers, is said to be an exceedingly entertaining narrative, as Captain Bingham from personal intimacy with many of the natives of different classes, has been able to introduce into his pages very graphic and interesting sketches of the Chinese, from the highest officers of the State to the humblest of its innumerable subjects. A more attractive work, at th e p resen t mo ment, it is scarcely possible to imagine. , u h t ,3-11,114 *tronbrZebition SUN OFFICE Three o' Cluck. Sir CHARLES SHAW, late Chief Commissioner of Police at Manchester, has just published a letter—in reference to some remarks made by the Attorney-General at Chester—which gives a curious and interesting account of the sayings and doings of the local Magistrates on the 9th of August last, when, it may be remembered, a vast body of Turn-outs marched in procession through some of the principal streets of tin borough, committed various excesses, and for several hours kept the inhabitants in a state of serious apprehension, not only ibr their property but their lives also. Sir CHARLES commences his narrative by observing, that on the afternoon of the Bth of August, he heard a rumour that a meeting was to be held at Ashton on the follow ing morning, at which the Turn-outs were to con sider the expediency of marching in " peace able " procession through Manchester. Doubt ing, under the circumstances of the case, that the procession would be a " peaceable" one, the Chief Commissioner—who, by the bye, seems to have had singular difficulty in obtaining any accurate information—took such steps as seemed to him to be necessary in the emergency; and on the morning of the 9th found the military placed in such a manner that, up to that moment, Man- Chester " was all safe," the mob being still in the power of the authorities. What followed, on the procession entering the town, we give in the writer's own words : I spoke to the Stipendiary Magistrate, who in , formed me they were asking permission to have a procession through the town, promising to be peace able, and to return to their homes after passing through certain streets. I was then quite cbse to the Magistrate. I reined back a few paces, and said in a loud, distinct voice (which must have been heard by the military), " Sir, I must protest in the strongest manner against these people passing. Sir, I report to you officially that these. very men, who tell you that they are going to be peaceable, informed me this morning in Ashton that yesterday they had turned out all the mills round Staley-bridge, and that they were coming this morning to Manchester to do the same, and get bread." The Magistrate on this came nearer to me, and said, " They promise to be peaceable." I shrugged my shoulders and answered, " You have heard what I said." The Magistrate then held further conversation with the leaders. I again re peated loudly—"Kow, Sir, recollect I have reported this to you officially" (putting a very strong emphasis on the last word). Ile then addressed the Military Commandant, who ordered the troops to move, and the Magistrate, placing himself at thf head of the mob, proceeded down ..kncoats-street. I drawing back ; loudly exclaiming, " I will not be mixed up with this affiiir ; all 1 can now do is, to count the enemy who are attacking the town." I placed my self at the head of Store-street, and counted - those who were arm in arm. When the rear of the mob had passed, I was riding quickly, to see if the police were formed according to my orders, and on reach ing Portland-place I saw the head of the mob op posite the Infirmary, with the Military Commandant on its right flank. He called to me that the " procession" did not seem inclined to keep theii promise to the Magistrates, and requested me tu show the leaders the nearest road to Ashton. I did what I could to induce them to go down the London road, but they insisted on passing through Portland ,place (which at this part is very wide), and we could not prevent them. Shortly after this the Stipendiary Magistrate came up, declaring that the leaders of the procession had not kept their promise to him, and ask ing me where . was it s head' I answered, " Yon will be clever to fi n d it, as by this time it has fifty heads ; in fa c t, th ey are a ll l o ose, but still, if you will permit me, I \yin, and can, stop them, as I have go: about 200 police close at hand." ; Ilis answer was, " tio, no,collision." We must have no We halted here for some little time, we doing by persuasion what we, could with the mob, who jeered us in return. One man was most insolent to the commandant. I proposed his being apprehended, but the Magistrate would permit of no interference. The mob the.i passed through Minshull-street, a part assembling in Granby-row-fields, their chief speaker calling on them to preserve "peace, law, and order," as their meeting was legal, the procession having been conducted into the town headed by the civil and military authorities, who were then listening to them. The Stipendiary, accompanied by another Magistrate, escorted this assemblage from Granby. row-fields as far as the Ashton road ; but while this was going on, the mob were attacking in other quar ters, and continued to do so, but were so rapid in as sembling, destroying, and disp ers i ng , th a t th e town was in a state of anarchy. Such were the events of the " evil hour." If the facts really be as Sir CHA RLES has here stated them—and his letter bears every mark of strict truth—the Manchester Magistrates must have acted in a mariner o n ly to b e accounte d for on the presumption that they were either indifferent about the safety of the town, or that fear and astonishment had wholly deprived them of their senses. What, trust to the pacific assurances of a mob who but the day before had been turning out all the mills in the neighbourhood, and had openly declared that it was their intention to re peat the same game at Manchester! The Magis trate who exhibited this absurd confidence, despite the urgent remonstrance of Sir CHARLES, who better understood the temper of the mob, proved himself utterly unworthy to be entrusted with even the authority of a parish beadle It was not his fault that the town,wasnot pillaged from one end to the other, and many valuable lives lost. The apprehension of a " collision,' which he seems to have shared in common with his colleagues, was the very way to bring it on ; but worse even than this, was the parleying of the civil authorities with the mob, under circumstances that demanded the promptest show of energy and decision ; for, in the first place, it implied a distrust of their own power ; and, secondly, amounted to a sort of tacit acknowledgment that the proceedings of the mob were not wholly unauthorised by law. In all cases of tumultuous gatherings, like that at Man chester, it is mercy to the misguided rioters to crush their efforts at disturbance at the outset; and that is but a spurious humanity which dic tates a feebler or more irresolute course of action. In another part of the paper will be found a comparative statement of the mercantile ship ping of England and France; and as it is taken from one of their own journals, French writers cannot impute to us any blame foripublishing, the contrast, and thereby exhibiting the utter im possibility of France rivalling this country at sea. We make this remark without any vain boast or any intention of ° trending a brave and powerful nation. Our object is rather to tell them the plain truth, which is sometimes very disagreeable to nations as well as individuals, and to induce the gentlemen of the French Press to discontinue their daily practice of making attacks on the policy of other nations, and direct their talents to purposes beneficial to their own country. Persons in the habit of reading the French journals m ust see t hat the writers arc much more intensely occupied with the affairs of their neighbo urs t h an w ith what more im mediately conc erns t h e i nteres ts of France, and at the same time observe the universal dis content that per va d es t h e i r ar ticles in regard to the mercantile a n d po li t i ca l relations of that kingdom with e very ot h er community in the world. England, of course, holds a most pro minent position, and is accused of a settled plan to ruin her trade and ,conunerce. The German League is formed , only f " I. the same wAd purpose. Even Belgium, her nearest neighbour, and forming almost an in tegral portion of France, is treated with as little ceremony, and charged with a partiality 6a. England and Germany. On the other side of 'he Pyrenees, too, the prospects are equally giwomy. France has no influence in :vanish or Portnuese councils, she is outwitted in every political tvansaction, and her trade with the Peninsula is all but annihilated, while the manu factures of England are cherished and daily in creasing. A still deeper gloom prevails over Syria and Egypt, and even the American Union, long bound by grat i tu d e f o r past services, and by commercial i ntercourse , is now denounced .is a jealous rival, bent only on shutting out French produce, and ruining . the mercantile navy of France. These are all very childish and unavailing complaints. If French shipping amounts to only one-fifth of that employed by England, if America in that respect far exceeds her, and France ranks only as a fourth-rate corn inercial power, why does she not try to better her condition by throwing off restrictions on trade, by inviting the shipping of other countries to fre quent her numerous harbours, by planting • colonies, and encouraging commercial inter course? It is humiliating to a rich and power ful country like France, to remain so far behind the rest of the world in all these respects, and waste her strength in vain conquests, and in keeping up a military navy quite disproportioned to her resources. With such a small amount of shipping she cannot man a fleet fit to compete even with America, much less with England, and she would therefore better consult her own interests by turning her attention to the arts of peace, and to those commercial pursuits which have raised England and America to their pre sent enviable condition. Madrid papers of the sth have been received. The official Gazette contains a circular, addressed to all the Political Chiefs, by the Minister of the Interior, enjoining them to prosecute " the ene mies of public order, who, with a view to excite anxiety, report that the Government contem plated to proclaim the Constitution of 1812." Lieut.-General COPONS Y NAVIA, Count of Tarifa, died in Madrid on the 3d. The grand entertainment given by M. MA THEU, the Treasurer of the Infant Don FRAN CISCO DE PAULA, was still a subject of conversa tion, but it does not appear that Mr. ASTON, our Ambassador, was present at it. The Three per Cents. were done at 20/ for cash, and 21 at 57 days. There were 40 transac tions in the Five per Cents., 251 I -a for cash, and 264-, at 60 days, for 25,000,000 reals. The French papers of Wednesday contain a variety of articles on the commercial treaty be tween France and Belgium. The Courrier Francais, in announcing the arrival of the King of the BELGIANS at St. Cloud, observes that, al though the journals state that advantage will be taken of his Majesty's presence to bring the com inercial treaty to a conchkion, so serious an affair requires more energy than was ever displayed by the French Ministry. The Courrier Francais adds, that the Cabinet is divided on the subject. M. MARTIN DU NORD is opposed to it from per sonal motives. Marshal Souvr does not forget that .ie is an iron -master, and M. CUNIN GRIDAINE cannot divest himself of the prejudice and the passion he displayed, in his capacity of woollen cloth manufacturer, before the committee of 1834. fhe three most capable men in the Cabinet—M. DUCHATEL, and LACAVE LAPLAGNE— Are most decidedly in ffivour of the pro posed commercial union between the two C )entries. The Commerce is indignant at the treatment which France has received from Belgium, and .to►►siders the treaty shameful and injurious to France. It is a singular fact that no treaty xhether political or commercial, gives any satis eaction to the writers in French journal& The treaty relative to the right of search forms the iubj«tt of a bitter and angry article in the Coarrier Francais, from which the fbllowing is ►n extract : " We do not fear to affirm that the French Govern ment has avoided, with the greatest care, to make up to this period any formal proposition on this subject to the British Cabinet. It is possible that Count St. Aulaire may have vaguely expressed to Lord Aber leen a desire to see the treaty of the 20th of Decem ber last modified in such a manner as that France alight become a party to it ; but we are assured that the reception which this proposal met with did not en courage the negotiators to proceed further. "At this moment the relations between the two countries are not on easy terms. The English Cabinet does not conceal the profound contempt which the conduct of a Ministry inspires, who, after having signed an European treaty, did not resign when the Cham bers refused to ratify it. No statesman has less credit at present in London than M. Guizot, and it would be an error to receive the interested flattery lavished On him by the journals on the other side of the Channel as the expression of the public opinion in Engknd. the unpopularity of M. Guizot has passed the sea." The English Government refuses positively to modify the Treaty of 1841, and declares that the previous treaties shall not be broken with her con sent. This is the attitude in which Lord Aberdeen intrenches himself. M. Guizot's friends assert publicly that he will not renew the annual permissions to search French ships in the ensuing 'month. They even go further, and add that M. Guizot intends to propose to the British Government to replace the treaties relative to the right of,search, .by a convention similar to that .which Lord Ashburton has concluded with. the United States: • " Those, however, are deeds of daring which a Minister may permit himself in a saloon, when he is surrounded by flatterers, and which are nourished by the illusion of his own power; but to realise this fine conception, he should encounter the displeasure of Great Britain, of the power which made M. Guizot Minister, and M. Guizot will never venture to do so. The right of search will last at least as long as M. Guizot, and it will require a surer hand and a more national character to deliver France from it." Intelligence from Algiers of the sth inst. bad been received in Paris. No accounts had reached from the expedition under General BUGEAUD, The column, commanded by General CHAN GARNIER, had not yet returned to Mascara. The works of the harbour of Algiers were proceed ing with considerable activity. The country be tween Mascara and Tlemecen was tranquil, and troops were employed in constructing bridges over the Rio Salado and the -Esser. BOURSE--PARIS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12.

The Emperor of China has at length been beard of, as will be seen from an Imperial edict published at length in another part of the paper. He boasts that a great officer, called Chintae, in a rencontre with the English forces, " put to death all the white barba rians, and seized alive many of the black rebels." The intelligence from abroad is generally destitute of interest. According to the Augsburgh Gazette, the confer ences concerning the marriage of Queen Isabella of Spain, have commenced. The mission of M. Olozaga attaches to this affair, and it is certain that this diplo matist will proceed to Vienna in the autumn. Theßorsenhalleof Hamburgh of the sth inst. states, that although five months have elapsed since the great fire in that city, flames are seen from time to time on clearing away the ruins of some of the buildings. An inventory was lately taken of the Crown dia monds, pearls, &c., of France. The number is 61,312, weighing 18,751 carats, and valued at 20,900,260 f. The inventory taken on the return of Louis XVIII. from Ghent, to which place the Crown jewels were removed for security when the King left Paris, on the approach of Napoleon from Elba, gave the same results. A Bill will be introduced into the French Cham bers next session, authorising the removal of the Royal Library from the Rue de Richelieu to the Place Dauphine. The sum calculated to be received from the sale of the site of the present Library is 18,000,000 f., but that this will not meet more than half the expenses of the change.

Earl de Grey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, will be nominated to supply the vacancy in the Order of the Garter, occasioned by the death of the Marquis Wellesley. A meeting of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt was held yesterday in the Treasury. The original works published in Russia and Poland during 1841, were 717, the translations 54.

The English funds have exhibited more buoyancy than they have done for some time past, and a greater disposition for business has been evinced by the jobbers.

The quotation for Mexican. bonds has slightly improved, but the fact of to-day being the half monthly settlement has precluded any extensive trans actions. The Tay has brought over 18,000 dollars on account of the dividends, which will make about 25,0001. sterling now in the hands of the agents, to be applied to this purpose. They have been sold at 33 for Money, but are now quoted 32i and 33 for the Account. But little has been done in the Share Market, prices :in which are rather better.

Neither the mercantile letters by the Great Western or the Tay add any new fact to those pre viously received, which is to be accounted for by the short interval which has elapsed between the sail ing of those and the former vessels. Trade in America is stated to be quite as unsettled now as it was before• passing the tariff, inasmuch as it is almost certain that one of the first proceedings of Congress will be to modify the present Bill.
