The other great project of the Whig party in America, to which Mr. WEBSTER is devotedly attached, is the establishment by.the Govern ment of some general and universal bank. On this subject, he says:— " Another great and original object of the Revolu tion of 1840 was the restoration of a sound and uni form currency. Our troubles did not begin in the want of money, nor with the Compromise Act, but with the derangement of the currency in 1833. For this great evil of a disordered currency no provision' has yet been made. Until some provision (be made) of unzform value th roug h out for a general currency the Union, I shall be hard to be persuaded that we can see a return of our former prosperity." " There is an absolute necessity," be further says, " this country for a common, medium of uniform, and me cheap exchange, for a machine w h ic h ll eqztalise d e b t and credit from one end rf the countr y tothe othe r , and with the same velocity with which s t eam carrlei men and merchandise. We must have for th e country a large and liberal provision f hazes, really c h eap and unif orm , suc h as exisoterdex‘c ur when many millions could at any time be exchanged for less than three quarters per cent. between the most distant portions of the country. How can we reach this goal but by the authority:of the General Government." On those principles Mr. WEBSTER, the chie f currency man of the Whigs, and the Whig party, arc prepared to act. For their sake that party effected what he calls a revolution. But is not a ig sound and uniform currency" —a "currency of uniform value," a mere chimera—the baseless vision of a dreamer? - Where and when did such an instrument ever exist ? The nearest approxi mation to it is the precious metals ; but as trade expands or contracts, and as the supply of them increases or decreases, they vary in valtic in rela tion, to everything bought and sold. Every newspaper, which tells us of rates of exchange, informsus that gold and silver are dea rer i n some places than in others. Small as they are in bulk it costs something to convey them from place to place, which necessarily causes, even where the communication is the most free, a variation in their value in relation to other commodities. Our own currency, consisting mainly of paper convertible into gold, is gene rally supposed to be as little liable to fluctuation as the currency of any kingdom of Europe ; but have we not, within the last twenty years, seen variations in its value, which have at one time lent wings to speculation, and at an other have chained our dismembered indus try to the earth ? Communicating with all the commercial nations of the globe, what ever disorders the currency of England ne cessarily disorders theirs to some extent, in dependently of all their internal causes of fluctuation ; and we may, therefore, safely assert that in no part of the world now, and at no time, was any such instrument in existence, nor can it ever exist, as Mr. WEBSTER risks the fate of his party, and the peace of his coun try, to establish by an Act of Congress. We are obliged, when we read such phrases as " cheap medium of exchange, which shall equalise debt and credit with the velocity of steam navigation," to suppose that Mr. WEB STER has been extremely unfortunate in his reporter. Such language sounds like the rhodo montade of a visionary, not the sober words of a statesman carefully pondering over the public good, and what he is able to accomplish. He proposes to provide, by the authority of the General Government, a large and liberal provi sion, of exchanges, 'ready, cheap, and uniform ; a gigantic project, which, if it were only practical, surpasses, we will venture to say, any project ever yet conceived by the most despotic Govern ment for the presumed benefit of commerce. In all these observations, Mr. WEBSTER seems to us bank or currency mad, and we seek in vain in them for any glimmering of the sagacious and cool-headed negotiator. When such are his opinions, and the opinions of his party, we can not be surprised that lie has been unable to remedy " the evils of a disordered currency," and that " even a Whig senate would not pass Mr. EWING'S Bill." Such wild language and wild schemes, to the credit of the Amerhans, were not sanctioned even in the delirium of , a party contest and party triumph; and, in spite of Mr. WEBSTER'S endeavours to "hush the storm," it arose and scattered the Whigs, of which he is one of the leaders. We are surprised that he should talk of" ex changes," and immediately jump to the conclu sion that a means of providing them can only be found by the authority of the General Govern ment. But in what do the several States of America differ, as to commercial transactions, from the several States of Europe, all of which settle their exchanges in a ready and easy manner, without the help of a Federal Congress le gislating for France, England, and Ame rica? Exchanges grow from commerce, and do not need the regulating hand of Government. Indeed, our merchants would look with some degree of astonishment were our Government to interfere with the exchanges between England and the United States, and between England and France. As the several distinct political States of the world cannot have any general Congress to make laws for them, and provide them one uniform measure of value, as the com merce between them regulates the subject itself, so the commerce between the different States of the Union would regulate it, though the General Government were not to interfere with it. Mr. WEBSTER, by his proposal, convicts himself of a very ignorant ambition. He boasts very much of his long acquaintance with the currency question. It has been, he says, " the study of his life." Thirty years ago, " when the subject of a mixed currency was much discussed in both Hcuses of Parliament, I paid the greatest attention to the controversy." " I read everything at all valuable written or spoken on the subject." On this vast erudition he ventures to assure his countrymen that the " measure submitted the last session to Congress is the best and only measure for the country." The source of his knowledge inspires us with the deepest distrust of his conclusions. An Ame rican statesman who draws the rules of his con duct from the politics of Europe must necessarily go wrong. He should not be ignorant of what is said and what is done here, but the origin of political power, with the form of the political con trivance, and the distribution of property, are so essentially different in Europe and America, that he should study the course pursued by the Governments of Europe rather to shun than to follow it. We all know that here the power of control ling the currency has been assumed to be the prerogative of the Crown. The persons who took possession of the different countries of Eu- ' rope also in time took possession of as much of their money as they could seize, and they claimed the privilege to issue it, to debase it, to alter it as suited their purposes. We all know, too, that they successively tampered- with the currency, first with the metallic currency, and afterwards with the paper currency, so that not one country of Europe has escaped successive monetary con vulsions, which have inflicted more injury on society than famine and pestilence. These are truths almost as familiar to us as our A B C; and should not American statesmen—who have amongst them no Crown with its privi leges derived from barbarous times—be anxious to lay down rather than to take up a powerwhich has been used at all times, and being founded on error can only be used, to the injury of the com monwealth? Money of all kinds, like exchanges, grows from commerce. It depends on two things—the esti mate or value which men in the course of nature come to put on the precious metals, and the quan tity of them procured or procurable. Over these two essential elements of a metallic currency, Governments can exercise no control. They can not alter the value of gold or silver, and they can . not augment or reduce the quantity of them in the common market of the world. A paper cur rency, first and last, whatever shape it may take, is only a promise to pay, or a security fur pay ' rnent of certain quantities of gold or silver—(if these be determined by weight only, so much the better, so much the easier and simpler) —and all which a Government has to do or can have to do with paper money is to hold the party makin g the promise to the fulfilment of his engagement. Further than that a Government can exercise no useful influence over a currency ; a n d „, regard the failure of the Whigs in America to usurp a control over it, after the manner o European Governments, as extremely creditable to the good sense of the Americans. What is plainly wrong in the several States of the Union, is the charters and privileges granted to a great variety of banks, the chief possessors of which, being at the same time the most influential men in the State, have, whenever it has pleased them, released those ban!zs from that obligation to pay, according to promise, which it was the imperative duty of the Government to enforce. The not enforcing these obligations is the source of all the money contusion in the United States. The separate States have imitated, to their dishonour, the crowned Kings of the old world, and have brought more confusion on those otherwise prosperous commonwealths than could have been worked by an invasion. If Mr. WEBSTER had studied the phenomena of his own country, and the principles of society, instead of studying the financial errors of Europe, we are of opinion that he would have come to a similar conclusion, ind, would have spared us the unpleasant task'of ex'.2 posing the palpable errors of a man for Whom, in spite of such aberrations, we are disposed to entertain great respect. Every person person must, we think, rejoice to learn from every quarter that great exertions are mak ion-, to ( improve ag r i cu l ture, and increase the sub sistence of the people.- It is well observed, in a clever pamphlet, by THONIAS SHARPE S3IITH, E sq ., on the " Economy 0. v Nations" —.not that the observation is new, but we require to be re minded of it—that it is '; the desir e or the want of food which is the mainspring of the humin, as ' of all other animal economy." i! What 44, incii. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 21, 84 who may be seen sauntering within a dozen yards- of St. James's Park ? Is such a distin guished personage as JONES to return, and no preparations to be =de against his advent ?. Where is the head of the Home-office, Sir JAMES GRAHAM ? " What wants he in the North, When he should serve his Sovereign in the South ?" The boy JONES is returned; nay, he is actually at this moment in London; and yet the Home Secretary still lingers in the sequestered shades of Netherby l Scandalous negligence! But what else was to be expected from a Tory Minister ! We pay these men collectively upwards of thirty thousand pounds per annum; we allow them to sweat sevenpence—the monsters!—out of every single pound we possess; and yet when the boy JONES returns (meditating, no doubt, another noctural irruption into the butler's pantry at Buckingham Palace)—these men, whom we pay at such a preposterous rate, take no more notice of the boy, than it' he was any other boy, and not the JONES! Under these circumstances, we feel that the LORD MAYOR is imperatively called upon to make a tender of his services to Majesty. He can do wonders, if he will but set about it in a right spirit. Let him but beleaguer Pimlico with a battalion of Beef-caters; station a fat Special at all the approaches to the Palace ; and pop every ginger -whiskered stripling in the Black-hole; and then the Royal Household will be enabled to sleep in peace, even though Minis ters are negligent, and the boy JONES is returned ! Should we hear any further particulars respect ing this most surprising and unexpected return, we shall make a point of communicating them to our readers in a Second Edition. We have time merely to call attention to the letter of Mr. CHILDS on " Bible Monopoly," which contains some facts of great importance to the religious community. Little credit for sincerity can be given to those Church men who cry out tor Church extension, and the diffusion of the truths of the Gospel among the ignorant multitude, while they do all they can to make the Bible a sealed book to the poor. It would even appear that the very agents and travellers of the Society for the Diffusion of Scriptural Knowledge, de precate all attempts to lessen the prices. This cannot fail to raise strong suspicions as to the motives of those who have the management of its affairs, and requires the serious considera tion of the numerous subscribers. We shall pro bably return to the subject. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 11th, Every preparation was making for the approach ing session, which will be an interesting one. Frequent meetings of the Council had taken place, and Government was adopting the most active measures to put down the bands which in fest the provinces of Toledo and Ciudad Real. Accounts from Algesiras of the sth inst. state that the Commander of an English ship of war, who lately captured a Spanish barge, refused to re turn it without a positive order front his Admiral. The barge remained moored to the stern of the ship. The Three per Cents. were done at 21} at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 26 27f for cash. and at 26 15-16 27 27f 27 , 27 lat 60 days. The debt, bearing no interest, sold for 5 at 60. days, with premium. We have received all the Paris papers, which contain a variety of articles on the deplo rable state of the wine-trade, the right of search, and the commercial treaties in negotiation or contemplation by France. The writers in these journals seem to have a very strange idea of commercial treaties, and would agree to no con dition which did not give all the advantage to France. If they were left to manage such affairs France would indeed be isolated; but Louis PHILIPPE and M. GrunoT, and the wine-growers in the south, take a very different view of such questions, and, being practical men, know that it would be madness to expect favours from Bel gium or England, without giving any in return. The Courrier Francais has a long article respecting a report that M. DE ST. AULAIRE had received instructions from his Government to propose a modification of the treaties of 1831 and 1833, respecting the right of search. After at tempting to defend the conduct of France, in re fusing to ratify the last treaty, it a dd s: — " But it may be objected that the treaties of 1831 and 1833 are a regulation now in full life, and re spected equally by all those who have signed them. What ! the English cruisers are to dispense, with re spect to our trade, with the necessary formalities ; they are to ill-use our seamen, pilfer and illegally se questrate our vessels; the treaties are to serve as a means of enabling them to oppress our shipping in terest, and we are to be expected to maintain them for their benefit alone ! Truly, that is not possible. If the English do not give reparation for their wrongs towards us, we have the right to procure justice fbr ourselves. There is no other alternative than this— England must punish all the officers who have at tacked the inviolability of our flag, and indemnify the shipowners who have been injured, or France is bound not to renew the warrants of her cruisers. • The war= rants not being renewed, the treaties will nattrally fail to the ground. It is now for the English to re fleet whether it would not be better for her to modify the conventions." In the same angry spirit the Presse adverts to a commercial treaty w i t h t hi s country, b ut towards the conclusion b ecomes a li tt l e more the -advantages which the postage placid,country e wouldon viewing letters.derive from a reduction on the "The Post-office arrange ment," it states, "can b e eas il y conc l u d e d . Everybody will benefit b y i t — no pr i vate or public interest can suffer from its consequences either in England or France. We should, for our part, highly approve of the conclusion of such an arrangement." "The Abbe LANEN:f.tis," says the Univers, "has just arrived at Brest, with six (lay) brethren of the Christian doctrine, who are to embark in that harbour-for the 'French West India islands Two others are shortly to leave for Cayenne. The number of these modest teachers, who are slowly preparing the way for the eulantiPa's tion of the slaves in our colonits ) is now about forty." The Jtotrnal de Rheims announces that the Champaign wine crop would be this year most abundant, and the produce of the best quality. Several sales had already been made in the dis , tricts of Avize and Cramant, at prices Varying from 50f. to 80f. per hectelitre, and some even sold for 100 f. and 103 f. The value of the 18,283 hectolitres produced by those two districts is es timated at nearly 1,000,0001. The Armnricai n states , that th e r e are tit pit.. sent in progress of construction at Brest, by order of the Minister of Marine, immense buildings for a foundry, and for the construction of steam beat& On the north of the town the Minister of War had ordered considerable additions to be I made to the fortifications. The Charivari contains the following letter, which that witty journal would lead its readers to believe was written by the notorious DEUTZ, the betrayer of the Duchess of BERRY : Let the Royalists overwhelm me with their con tempt, I have no t t h e strengt h t o comp l a i n ; b ut those who, after h av i ng i ncited my treason, h ave so well turned it to th e i r pro fi t, oug h t , i n my op i n i on, to be the last to throw the stone at me. I allow that all the world are justified in calling me infamous, and yet there arc some whom I regard . as more infamous than myself. Yes, Sir, let it be well known that all has not been told on the crime to which I had the mis fortune to lend my name. Simon Deutz was willing to accept all the responsibility of the act for the miserable sum which was paid for it. B u t a day will perhaps come • w h en th e veil which n ow covers that terrible machination will be torn away, an d each one will assu m e th e part which belongs to him in the odious scheme of 1832. In the meantime I can only beg the Orleanist journals to speak of me with a little more moderation. If they calculate better the bearing of their insults, they will i doubtle2s compre hend that Simon D eu t z h as been, n the hands of cer- tain exalted personages, hut a vile instrument, and they will judge it proper to keep silence on his ac ' count. The police, they say, are fatigued with my im portunities. I am really' desolate. Have I not had reason in my time to complain of the importunities of the police ? Alas! was it not their cowardly and perfidious s o li c i tat i ons that ro bb e d me o f my h onour, and it can be'readily conceived that, however impor tunate I may n ow b e to them, I h ave no t th e means of treating th em i n a similar manner. S trange ! the police now d esp i se me.. They appear to blush at my acquaintance; but if I h a d no t been follow e d b y them, with bZ Thiers at their head, who will i dare to say that I should not now have been un vidual does for the exigencies he will con tinue to do for the luxuries of life ;" but to have food, or the command over food is the first and chief end and aim of all human exertions. With plenty of food all other desirable things, which are only the ornaments of this solid foundation of a happy community, will be sure to abound; and where food is not abundant, no arts, whether they be called fine or useful, mechanical or professional —no skill of politicians, no teaching, no bright example even of virtue in a clergy, will ever suffice to promote the public welfare. Considering the supply of food therefore, to be all-important, we hail with great satisfaction the various efforts which are now making to improve our agriculture. Amongst such efforts, we must class a " Prize Essay of the Wetherby Agricultural Association on the Application of Rape-Dust, &c., by Joax HANNAM," the object of which is to show the great advantage of using such means of fertiliz• ing the soil. Mr. HANNAM begins his valuable pamphlet by referring to the chemical principles of vegetation as far as they are known, so that he may explain the rationale of the won derful effects which different manures have on different soils. Indeed, they have been so won derful, and sometimes so contradictory, that a pleasing but painful creed has arisen which as cribes the virtue not to the manures, but to the strong faith in the man who uses them, which brings down on his industry, however directed, the blessings of Heaven. Modern chemistry, and our present knowledge of vegetation, by pointing out the several kinds of nourishment which plants require, and which the same ma nures will not supply in different soils, has done so.nething to destroy this creed, and to show in dustry and faith how they may be sure to succeed. Into the merits of rape-dust we shall not enter, being entirely incompetent to discuss them; we only to direct public attention to one of the principles set forth by Mr. HANNAM. Notwith standing the alarm which was generated by Mr. WALKER'S theory of population, everybody felt convinced that there was in nature some con trivance, by which, though we did not know how, productiveness is made to keep pace with population. The moral means are an increase of skill an-1 extended division of labour, both of which are dependent on an increased population. The physical means have been discovered, we we think, by LEIBIG, and made plain by Mr. HANNAM. It was long ago known that nitrogen, which abounds in animal substances, is, as Mr. HAN.. NAM says, absolutely essential to the forma tion of perfect vegetable structure. Now, LEIBIG has found ammonia, which is the product of decaying animal matter, in rain water and snow, and gone far to demon strate that it is in this form that nitrogen finds its way into plants. Another element of vege tation is carbon, and carbonic acid, which sup plies plants with carbon, is the result of respira tion. Now, both these elements of fruitfulness in the soil, or rather of luxuriant vegetation, increase as man and animals increase, and thus as the human race is multiplied, the soil becomes more fertile. The fact of great fertility existing in conjunction with a crowded population is well known; but for the theory and explanation we are indebted to Laiuiu and Mr. HANNAH. They have made it clear that the essential ele ments of vegetable life are evolved in proportion as animal life increases; in other words, nature makes a provision to increase the means of feed ing the human race as they are multiplied. The clerical agitators in the Church of Scot land, if they are not remark-able for discretion and sound judgment, may claim great credit for powers of invention. Even Mr. O'CONNELL, in his long and varied political career, has not sur passed them in forming ingenious plans for rousing his countrymen, or keeping up the spirit of excitement so necessary for the accom plishment of his objects. Having carried eman cipation, he turned his attention to Parliamentary reform, and from that to repeal, shifting, occasionally, the scenes with great dexterity and judgment. The gentlemen of the north have stolen a leaf from his book, and are determined to vie with him in the variety of their schemes for the abolition of Church pa tronage, and the repeal of the union between Church and State. They began with the Veto Act, and in their attempts to make that the law of the land as well as of the Church, they com mitted acts of great severity, by deposing and suspending numbers of their disobedient brethren. That system was found very inconvenient, and also very ineffective, for one punishment prepared the way for ten offences more, going on in geometrical progression, and the criminals only became more hardened and stiff-necked. They saw this was a hopeless task, as they could not secure obedience to the law without sweeping from the Church the whole of the obnoxious race, and that was an alternative which they could not muster up courage to adopt. At different times, they have threatened to leave the Church in a body and preach in wooden kirks ; at another they Passed a vote of Assembly denouncing patronage, and drew up a petition of rights, which unfortunately drew little attention ; then there was a plan for a roving Commission in England to enlighten the ignorance of Wes leyans and Episcopalians, but this proved the most abortive scheme of all, for not one of the missionaries ever passed the border. Driven to their wits' end they have at least bit upon a noble device,and have summoned aGeneralConvocation of the Non-Intrusionist clergy to meet at Edin burgh next month, accompanying the summons with a proclamation that, for one Sabbath at least, all the churches under their authority shall be de serted. So the people are to be deprived of or dinances for a time at the bidding of these men ; and for their sins, and the sins of the land, are to be laid under an interdict, as was the custom during the tyrannical and bigotted reign of Popery in thedarkages. The conduct of THOMAS A'BECKETT was nothing to this, That prelate, though as grasping as most of his fraternity, had some cause of complaint against his Sovereign, who took the law into his own hands, and he, therefore, avenged himself by excommunications and interdicts. But what grounds of complaint have these clergymen either against the Crown or the State? and why, in this unseemly contest, are the religious people alone to suffer ? Such • conduct -is unwarranted either by law or custom, and requires the serious consideration of the Lord Advocate and the Home Secretary. if they negle c t t h e i r duty for two weeks; they may neglect it f or a month while; usts a iup n ae d ln , iisn, a nt their they eorf.ti take o ek a c r a e re le t f o t retain t th t e h i e r reli gious instruction. And for what purpose do they desert their parishes ? To agitate the country, to excite the people against the Govern ment, and to rail against the Courts of Law and against the law itself., A vast number of ignorant people have lately suffered severely for disobe dience to the law; and are well educated men, paid, too, for performing their duty and teaching the people to submit to the powers that are, to be suffered to assemble in conclave, and with impunity make seditious speeches, for which un educated and starving men are punished ? If Sir JAMES GRAHAM follow out his principles, and mete out justice with an even hand, he will watch their proceedings, and make no distinction be. twen them and the Chartist leaders. Important intelligence has just been received by Governtnent—namely, that the boy JONES is returned ! Infinite is the consternation that this alarming tidings has occasioned in all official quarters; the police authorities at the Garde ner's Lane station-house are at their wits' end Downing-street " refuseth to be comforted •" and the Under-Secretary to the Home -office was seen; yes!erday walking towards Buckingham Palate in an unusually thoughtful and ex- cited mood ! In this awful emergency, when Royalty is threatened with another visitation by the remarkable youth in question, why is not a Cabinet Council summoned, and orders issued to surround Pinilico with a cordon of police; to double the sentinels at Story's -gate; establiSh I .alloating.battery on that part of the lake nearest the Palace; and take up every youth, " aged eighteen, with ginger whiskers," honest man ? Remove M. Thiers avid M. (i ; Montalivet from the history of my life (I will for the moment only name those two), and I should remain what I always wished to be, the loyal and faithful servant of the august Princess who had ever loaded me with kindness. How can they then escape from the odium that is cast upon me, who, by their infernal seductions, have so cruelly led me on to ruin ? What! shall the assassin, who for a piece of money murders a man at the corner of a street, be reputed infamous, whilst he who placed the poniardin his hand and paid him the price of the murder is allowed to walk with head erect, and quietly reap all the profits of the crime? " As to those honest men who cannot pronounce my name without a shudder, I ask of them neither pardon nor pity ; and, nevertheless, if they would be just, they would look on, my part of the infamy as less glaring, and give a part to those who deserve it. This would only be distributive justice. (Signed) " SIMON DEUTZ." • BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18. First Hilihest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

CHANCERY REFORMS.-It is understood that the Lord Chancellor and the other Judges of the Court of Chancery, have had it in contemplation for some time past, in addition to the extensive alterations which will come into operation on the 28th inst., to remodel ninny of the hitiii&S Elf thtiF YeSp.MiVe Courts, with a view of placing them on such a footitig as cannot fail to ensure their practical utility.

TH.I BOY JONES AGAIN,--The boy Jones, who, on several occasions intruded himself into Buckingham Palace, has again made his appearatice in London. It was stated some time sineq that he lad been sent out to Sakti 116WeVoe, it ilbW not the fact. After his last examination at the Home office, the boy was sent to Portsmouth, where, we understand, he was apprenticed, or, at all events, he was sent on board the wrarspite man-of-war, which ship carried out Lord Ashburton to the United States, On the return of the Warspite to Portsmouth, about three weeks since ; be was tillbwed occasitinally to go on shores Riforination wits 60 - lt tti the stOon-hottse in evening, on Monday eve that the ht# Jones was returned to London. This information was communicated to the proper authorities, and in structions were given to take him into custody - , which instir4ctinnt 'wait promptly obeyed, and yesterday morning he Was apprehended at his father's house, Bell-yard, York-street, Westminster, Notice of the prisoner being in custody was sent to the public offices, and hi the course of the afternoon a Govern ment order was received directing that he should be at once taken hack to Portsmouth, as it was not con sidered necessary that any inquiry should be insti tuted in town. Accordingly Jones was conveyed, in the custody of a police-officer of the A division, by the South-western railroad, to Portsmouth. For stopping a titan's mouth, when he is in the habit of uttering disagreeable truths, there is no gag like gold.

On Monday afternoon, the Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Nemours, and the Princess Clemen tine, went out on horseback in the neighbourhood of St. Cloud. It is stated in a letter from Carlsruhe„ October 18, published by the Mannheim Gazette, that as none of the tenders for a loan to enable the Government of Baden to execute the projected railroads are acceptable, it is intended to apply to Turkey for an advance of funds. M. Lamartine is to undertake the direction of the Paris journal La Patrie on the Ist of November. The consumption of butcher's meat in Paris during the month of September last amounted to 5,963 oxen, 2,257 cows, 6,524 calves, and 38,212 sheep. It ex ceeded the consumption of the corresponding month of 1841 by 1,151 oxen, 566 cows, 656 calves, and 4,400 sheep. This increase, it is said, was occa sioned by the great number of strangers who visited during the month of September, and not to a fall in the price of cattle, which is still very high at the markets of Sceaux and Poissy. The commeroial treaty between Belgium and Hol land had been definitively concluded. It is stated that there is still a probability of the King of Prussia visiting Paris. A. Turkish Ambassador has just set out for Tre bisond. He is the bearer of the ultimatum of the Ot toman Porte concerning the difference with the Shah of Persia, and is to proceed to Teheran. The Commerce and the National state that a ru mour is current of an intended modification of the French Ministry, and leave it to be inferred from a previous rumour, that the cause is a misunderstanding in the Cabinet on the question of the proposed Cus toms Union with Belgium. The celebrated collection of pictures of the late M. Aguado is, we understand, to be sold in the course of the winter. The St. PaterBburgh Journal of the 2d inst. states that a fire took place lately at Troisk, by which the public school, the prison, the Custom- house, the bar racks, the bridge over the Ui, and 293 private houses were destroyed. The number of students in `the different Universi ties of Russia in 1841 was 2,465; and the number of volumes in the libraries of the Universities was 282,265. A party, named Leroux de Beaulieu, who has been three times sentenced to ignominious punishment, was arrested on Sunday last by the police near Paris, on the charge of having broken his ban. On the road he shot himself with a pistol. This suicide is said to be connected with more important facts, which are now under investigation. PUBLIC OP: UM. - The Times thus adverts to a new scheme of the Non-Intrusionists to keep alive the flame of discon tent in Scotland, and afford an opportunity for making attacks on the civil power :—" We have received a copy of a general circular which has just been ad dressed to all the ministers supposed to adhere to tha cause of resistance in the northern kingdom, for the purpose of convoking a general meeting of the whole Non-Intrusionist clergy at Edinburgh in the course of next month. A note intimates that it is consi dered indispensable that all the brethren from the country should lay their account with being absent from their pulpits on Sabbath, the 20th'—a hint which may perhaps serve to convey a distant, suggestion that these worthies should lay their account with being absent from their pulpits altogether. To suppose that a mere convention (for the term convocation' is pe culiarly inappropriate to the proposed assemblage), irregularly constituted, and summoned from one side only, will have more weight than the real and general representation of the country, is absurd. The very existence of such a body is wholly new and strange to the Church of Scotland, to the law, and to the Constitution : and to substitute a device of this kind for the regular assemblies of the Church is ii itself a schism. A declaration issuing from such a meet ing is the declaration of a party, and in joining it, the ministers of the Kirk would divest themselves of all the authority they owe to their position. These consequences are so obvious. that we suspect the real object which the promoters of the projec? have in view is not so much to produce an effect on Parliament and on the public by their remonstrances, as to stir the enthusiasm which already exists in Scotland on the question, and to pledge the waver ing adherents of the party to all the lengths which their more fanatical leaders already contemplate. Their intention is to strengthen their ascendancy over the followers who have been attracted by this revival of the spirit of the Covenant; and to add the weight of numbers to the project for seceding from the Church of Scotland. Hence their anxiety to ob tain the personal attendance of the n.inisters, though at the risk of leaving more than half the pulpits in Scotland empty on Sabbath 20th.' If this scheme is carried into execution, and there is very little doubt that the strong feeling of the majority of the Scotch Church will induce numbers to join it, the first act in this schism will be consummated ; and the misguided men who may have abandoned their hum ble pastoral dd . es to take a more active part in the high controversies of Church discipline and ecclesias tical polity, will find themselves embarked in a course which can only lead to the most disastrous conse quences to religion, to their country, and to them selves." The Post observes, in reference to the Penny-post age scheme :—" Our readers are aware that the great man of the Anti-Corn-law League, who not only con centrates within himself the wisdom of all the 'seven wise men of Greece,' but adds thereto the eloquence of Demosthenes in making known his wisdom to tho world—they are aware that this great man, the decres CiAtialae Perm of the League,' was once upon a day as wise and aS eloquent upon the subject of penny postage as he now is upon the subject of the Corn- laws. Mr. Richard Cobden was quite as ready to • prove,' and to prophecy, anything or everything brilliant and advantageous, from the penny postage before the ex periment was fried, as he now is to do the very same things in respect to Corn-law repeal. In the year 1838, he was quite as confident in the wisdom of Mr. Itavtlend Hill as he now is in his own wisdom, and probably With just about as much reason. This consideration, together with the plaintive notes of some Whig Contemporaries on the subject of Mr. 'lowland Hill's cessation to receive a salary for assist lft Lords of the Treasury, has led us to look into sofHt± of that gentleman's promises, and to compare them with his performances. Our readers will be so good as to bear in mind that he was infi nitely. more plausible than even the most plausible of the Uffrtzla* repealers : that his glowing accounts of the prodigious befit is which would flow from his plan were earnestly adopted by thq sage judgment of Nir. Richard Cobden, and that that eminent personage put the projected Post-office revolution as all but ?van all equality with the repeal of the Corn-laws in tie trfudigitifis advantages which would accrue to com merce from carrying it into effect. The country has tried the plan, and even the wonderful ingenuity of the eloquent Mr. Cobden himself will scarcely be able to point out the prodigious advantages which com merce has reaped since the revolution in favour of •theaptiess has been established. We call attention to this, because it is fair to judge of one quackery which hits noticieen tried by another which has been tried, eSpeeitilly *ll6l/ the loudest and most confident pro moters of quaeltery the first are also the loudest and most confident promoters of quackery the second." The Chronicle says :—" At all the Conservative agricultural meetings the Tories are perplexed by a difficulty from which, we trust, they will ere long be relieved by Sir Robert Peel. They voted for the tariff, and the arguments by which the tariff is de fended go equally to defend a fixed duty on corn. They say that the population of this i s l an d h as near ly doubled since the first authentic enumeration in 1801, and that this enormous incre ase o f p o pulati on j u stifie s the substitution of a low import duty on cattle for the prohibition which previously existed. True, worthy sirs, but why disting u i s h b e t ween corn a nd cattle ? The addition to the population is an argument for more corn as well as more cattle. In a good system of agriculture, green and white crops ought to bear a due proportion to each other. To obtain the means of - properly manuring the land, so that extension of tillage may be followed by a corresponding produce, more cattle ' must be fed. To give to foreigners a - preference in the supply of cr'at'e rather than corn, is not only irre. Lut tendsi to injure agri concileable with principle, culture. Sir Robert Peel maintained that the pot•ipk I would be benefited by the reduced price of animal I food, in consequence of the tariff, and in the same. breath that the fa4..mers had nothing to apprehend from importation. Some of the Tory speakers at the agricultural dinners follow the same inconsistent coutse. They tell the farmers that they ought to sstnyttthisO with the manufacturers in their distress, and reconcile themselves tO a reduetion in price, and in the same breath they tell them that they have nothing to fedi' froth iMportation, as there are no cattle on the Coniiiiett pt 1 4 (it dill' tiititk6t, It will soon be seen whether cattle can or entiet he 'obtained from the Continent ; but if they cannot be sifr ob. tained, it must be because the price* tire ai high on the Continent as here."
