SEPTEMBER 23, 1842. • We yesterday drew attention to the chief dis t;,lction between manufacturing and agricul tural industry, and patriotically endeavoured to remneile the editors of the Quarterly Review and the Post, together with the Rev. Mr. - MELVILLE a,:id the other preachers against manufactures, to their hard lot of being obliged to sojourn in the midst of a manufacturing population, and daily );hake use of its labours. A newspaper, a rev i ew , or a printed sermon, is a manufactured article; tiud, being fiJnd of our own wares, we are inclined to think with our Correspondent, H. P., that a !newspaper is one of the most refined species of manufacture known. The paper on which it is printed, even while blank and'unmeaning, is the produce of a most ingenious process, carried on to a vast extent by the CROMPTONS and DICREN SONS of our time, and the source of princely for tubes to the HOLLINGWORTHS and the WHAT MANS of a former day. When further manufac tured, and madeinstinct with meaning by the aid of ingenious compositors, who come as punctual to their business as the clock, and sent" forth to the world by the help of a steam-press, it seems to us, to say nothing of our own humble share, nor of the share of numerous gentlemen who contri bute to its completion, to be a species of ma nufacture which almost may vie with Mr. DYER'S card-making machine, or Mr. WHIT WORTH'S exact imitation on steel of the highest dexterity of the fingers. Yet the literary gen tlemen we have alluded to, scarcely knowing apparently that they are manufacturers, seeni _ - smitten with despair at the progress and success of their own social craft, and can find no conso lation, but in dreaming of the solitary labours of the husbandman. We hope we may venture still further, to console these gentlemen, and the community at large, doomed, like them, to be manufacturers in spite of themselves, by briefly pointing out other peculiarities and advantages of manufacturing industry. Next, perhaps, after the distinguishing facts, that manufacturing industry is practised in com pany, agricultural industry in a great measure in solitude, the most striking difference between them is, that agriculture is carried on by little help from machinery, and manufactures by great help from the most refined machinery. In ma nufactures fixed capital, (which is another term for instruments,) in a;riculture manual labour, is the chief means of production. In the former skill, in the latter rude toil, is the most conspi cuous element. In manufactures, therefore, the waste and wear and tear of the human body are, as the rule, preventedt—hough there are yet many exceptions, because skill, as the Report of the Sanitary Commissioners proves, is not car ried far en ough—while, in agriculture, all the tasks are performed by muscular strength, and the body is continually undergoing great fatigue. In manufactures machinery works for man, in agriculture he performs the task almost un aided. We consider that circumstance—would the law-maker only allow us to exchange the pro ducts of our acquired skill and knowledge for the produce of the wearying muscular exertions of Polish serfs and American backwoodsmen, and so spare our own busbandmen some of their ex cessive toil—to be a prodigious advantage for the whole community. Other persons take a diffe rent view, and deem it a great degradation that a man should have no other occupation than to watch and guide a machine. On this point we shall venture to quote a passage, though it be long, from a letter which appeared in The Sun up wards of a year ago Some of your Contemporaries, I am aware speak of this dependence of man on man arising from division of labour, and still more, they speak of the dependence of man on the machinery he uses, as a great moral degra dation. The results contradict their assumption, and in moral wealth as well as manual skill the manufac turers, practising new arts, are superior to the pea santry. They are the servants, 1 admit, of ma chinery, but the machinery is the result of mind, and the servitude, rightly understood, is that of physical power to intellect. A machine is in all cases the sub stitute for manual labour. It is the product of cool calculating wisdom, the creation in moments of deep thought, which in antiquity was called inspiration of far-sighted men ; it substitutes, therefore, the delibe ration of the sage for the capricious, and may-be some times the drunken, irregularities of the hasty la bourers. While the hand varies in intensity and skill, the mind-begotten machine is invariable and perfect in its operations. Whatever it is appropriated to per form that it does excellently. In subjecting, therefore, the workman to the operations of machinery, and making him depend on that, it makes him the servant of the noblest intellect with which God has endowed his creatures. • You will remark; too, that the inventors and makers of this machinery become also its servants. It is the offspring of their best and calmest wisdom, the result of their most profound researches, and whatever the passion or the caprice of the moment might dictate, they are compelled to guide their conduct by the creations of their own mind in its brightest 'moments. They cannot get rid of their machinery, and are quite as much slaves to it as their workmen. To me, Sir, this opens a very grand view of society, which, as far as I know, has not sufficiently attracted public attention. The workman in the manufacturing district is the slave, to use the Tory slang, of ma chinery; but the workman in the agricultural dis tricts, the soldier and the sailor, the bulk of manual labourers, are the slaves, or the servants of capricious men. They are governed by passion and uncertainty. Machinery works with something of the regularity of nature, and they who serve it serve at least a steady master. The more machinery is increased, therefore, the more intellect, which creates machinery, becomes the guiding and ruling power of all the oper a ti ons o f man's hand. The use of machinery is extending even in war, and slaughter cannot be carried on without , serving intellect. This process, then, is general in society. More and more, year after year, does man become the servant of that mind-begotten machinery which works with unerring precision, and more and more is he liberated from the dominion of passion and caprice. The phrase, therefore, that man is a slave to machinery, means that he is the servant of the highest human intellect, and that its rule over society, as the use of machinery extends, becomes every day greater and greater. According to that view, which we believe is the correct one, the substitution of machinery for manual labour possesses higher advantages than merely sparing muscular exertion. It reduces the most refractory wills under the dominion of calm wisdom, and, in making man the servant of machinery, makes him tractable, orderly, and humble. Such is one of the essential and distin guishing characteristics of manufacturing in dustry. That it is carried on in our country too much for the advantage of a few, and too little for the benefit of the many, we admit and de plore. It shares that characteristic, however, with all our political institutions, and is not on that account more deserving of blame than the Legislature, which has ever provided for the welfare of the few at the expense of the many. In truth this fault of the manufacturing system is derived from our political institutions, and is not inherent in it. The Tory journals frequently reproach the mastcr manufacturerswith neglecting their work men, or treating them harshly and cruelly, and :hey appeal to the dislike exhibited by the workmen for their masters as the proof of the justness of their reproaches. It is, however, much to be feared that the peasantry only want an opportunity, which numbers have conferred on the town population, to exhibit their dislike, and something worse, of the upper classes. A writer in the Morning Chronicle, speaking of the more agricultural part of England, says:— , I heard the resident gentry spoken of in terms which the wildest Chartist never surpassed. In short, at Cookham, at Woburn-green, at High Wycombe, and every town and village I visited in that district, the hostility of the labourers towards the local gentry and many of the farmers was, to say the least of it, expressed without reserve ; and in most cases it sounded with a peculiar ferocity, inasmuch as those who uttered their coarse sentiments used language of the coarsest kind—language which I have certainly heard equalled on a London cab-stand,or in a coal-heaver's tap-room, but never exceeded in either. At Woburn, at Cook ham, and other places I was induced to inquire ra ther particularly into the character of the persons whom I heard talking thus freely of the higher classes. and I found that two-thirds of them or more Were farm-labourers, the remainder being shoe pane, rmakers, blacksmiths, and millwrights. in a - Company of twelve of these persons' only one understood the word machinery to apply to a plough, o_ r any other implement of labour; even the water wheels that moved the paper mills were not admitted to be parts of machinery. They applied the term recent -t ot i prl end parts of the paper mills wh e eh o d are maehinenr iad existed i n any o th er s h a p e . introduction but could not com p th a t some of Chartist educati on , I soundedtim might have recei ve d a them on that su bj ec t, o th ri a t n y the name; but few of them undersvod of tehemcn e nature of the Charti s t . a appeared re a d l n m e . e v r e e r l any havedoctrines, heard and a ofmajority more spirit ready to receive th a t or y ' other doctrine that would indulge them with the hope a- of levelling any class better provided with the comforts of life than themselves. Hatred of the opulent classes, and a levelling spirit, are as conspicuous in the agr i cultural as in the manufacturing districts. Men who feel themselves miserable believe themselves op pressed; and, notknowing how to obtain relief and redress, will become sulky and ferocious. We have good reason to believe that the same dispo sition exists in other parts of England as well as in Bucks. The parsons will have a hard task to eradicate such feelings, while the landlords will find it no easy matter to prevent them breaking out into disorder and violence. Falling markets betoken abundance, in the land; and however much the landowners may suffer from a reduc tion of prices and rent, they will, in the end, find it the cheapest, as well as the most humane, way to preserve the peace of the country, to take instant means for directing a large share of that abundance into the houses of the half-starved peasan try. The recent conduct of the metropolitan police, as any one might have foreseen, has produced_ a reaction, which manifests itself very visibly in the Police-offices and at the Central Criminal Court. Charges are brought every day against parties for annoying the constables by some marks of disrespect, and also, as they occasionally swear. by knocking them down. The Magis trates, however, begin to he very cautious in re ceiving their evidence, and subject them to no little inconvenience by cross-examination, and by occasionally giving more credit to the simple statements of the defendants, than to charges made on oath. This has occurred in several in stances lately, and the result has been, that men who were described by these public functionaries as guilty of violent and unprovoked assaults have been dismissed without even a reprimand. Juries begin to decide in the same spirit. At the Central Criminal Court yesterday a prisoner was tried for " cutting and wounding a police-constable, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm," and though the charge was supported by a wit ness whci volunteered his services, and pointed out the prisoner in the crowd as the offender, the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty. He was indicted a second time for a common assault, and resisting a constable in the exe cution of his duty. It appeared that in this case the prisoner was taken completely by sur prise. Neither he nor his advisers were aware of the indictment till he was arraigned, and Mr. BALLANTINE justly denounced the conduct of the Commissioners in putting the prisoner on his trial a second time without due notice; but the attempt failed, and the Jury a second time re turned a verdict of not guilty. It was fortu nate that Mr. Justice WTGHTMAN was on the Bench, for had a Judge of a different character presided the Jury might have had some difficulty in following what appeared to be their own con victions. " The verdict," said he, " must depend on the point whether the prisoner was there accidentally, as a quiet spectator merely ; in which case the police had no right to in terfere with him." This no doubt is the law, yet, in defiance of it, the police at some of the late meetings arrested persons sitting quietly at their own doors, brutally knocked down others on the high road, and one respect able individual who, according to his solemn asseveration, was entirely innocent until he was unjustly assaulted, was convicted last sessions on such evidence as that produced yesterday, and is now working like a felon on the treadmill. The public do not soon forget such deeds of injustice, and Jurors, when they find their recommenda tions to mercy disregarded by the Judge, pro perly exercise the power entrusted to them by law. This should be a warning to the Govern ment and their servants, the Police Commis sioners ; for if this new force is not speedily placed on a better footing, it will become an in strument of evil, and be put down by general acclamation. The Tories, it should seem, have not yet reco vered from their astonishment and dismay at the course of policy pursued by Sir R. PEEL during the last session. The agricultural portion of them, in particular, who denounce everything in the shape'of free trade as a monstrous innovation on the good old order of things, still continue to harp with as much bitterness as ever on the cruel sacrifices they have been compelled to make, by , a Minister of their own choosing, from whom they had a right to expect kinder treat ment. Mr. CONYERS, who speaks the sentiments of a large section of the Essex Tories, hints pretty significantly his suspicions that; the agri culturists have been duped and betrayed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, observing, " I hope in what he has done, we shall not feel ourselves injured or betrayed;" and a Tory Contemporary re marks this morning, in still more explicit lan guage, "In the Income-tax, the Corn-law, and the Tariff, the landed interests have been called upon to make sacrifices, the amount of which is unlimited and incalculable. The stub born truth is, that the measures brought fbrward by Sir R. PEEL are not those which the Conserva tive electors were led to expect from him. The constituencies throughout the country were influ r enced by the understanding that the Minister would give full and adequate protection to home industry ; but his official career has taken a di rection the contrary to what the fulfilment of that understanding would dictate. Hence the confiding electors have reason to complain of disappointment." From these and other signi ficant indications that escape them from time to time, it is evident that there are such serious divisions and sub-divisions among the Tories as must prevent them henceforth from acting toge ther with cordiality. A portion of them will, no doubt, still continue to give a sort of sulky sup port to Sir ROBERT PEEL ; but the more obsti nate and energetic of the squad will most likely draw off from him altogether; rally under some new banner; adopt Monopoly as their political Shibboleth ; and at some critical moment, when parties are nicely balanced in the House, fling their weight into the scale of Opposition, just as they did on Sir H. PARNELL'S question of the Civil List, when they coalesced with .the Whigs, and upset the Duke's Administration. Of course, by so acting, they will be virtually committing political suicide ; but the lessons of experience are lost on fools . ; and a discontented Tory is the most headstrong and unreflecting of animals, who will stick at nothing to gratify his revenge. But however these Tory advocates of Monopoly act—whether they make up their minds to support or to oppose Sir ROBERT PEEL, one thing is certain—namely, that they will be able to inflict no very serious amount of mis chief on the country. They are a daily dimi nishing party, whose opinions find no echo in the breast of the community at large. They are as old-fashioned as the pig -tail which their favourite Lord SIDMOUTH still, we believe, wears; and in a few years will have become an extinct species, like the Mammoth and the Iguanadon. At the meeting ofthe Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, held on Wednesday, a very •full Report was read of the expenses of the under taking, the cause of the failure, and the new arrangements made with the Admiralty. It ap pears that the combination hitherto acted upon, involved a steam service of 684,816 miles in the year, which was found too extensive for the number of vessels em ployed (fourteen), and incurred an outlay, for which the Government grant, and the other receipts, did not afford at all adequate remu neration. They had, therefore resolved to limit the number of vessels to twelve, and reduce the steam service to nearly one-half; or about 393,000 miles in the year. The saving by the new system is estimated at 123,000/. per annum, and the Directors anticipate that it will be worked with such regularity as to recommend the service to the favour of the Government and thu public, and produce an adequate di vidend to the Shareholders. The expen diture up to the end of August, 1842, including 733,0521. for building twelve ship s , purchase and outfit of schooners and other steamers,lB2,oool., and coals 105,0001 ., amounted to 1,206,9331. This is a grand undertaking, and we trust the Proprietors will meet with that support from the public to which such a usef u l and rapid means of communication with the Western world is entitled. According to accounts from Madrid of the 13th instant, the Minister of Finance had dis missed three officers of his department, as un- THE SUN, LONDON,__ FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1842. w..n.thy 3f pu i llic ..c,—„ Accountant-General; M. MAGRATH, Director- General of the United Bits; and the Admi nistrator of the Customs of Seville. M. MAGRATH had been replaced by M. THOMAS RIMENES, Intendant of Cadiz. The Ministry, it appears, had succeeded in raising some funds—a circumstance the more fortunate, as the troops were beginning to murmur. It is the intention of the Cabinet to present the Cotton Bill at an early stage of the session. It will be supported by a certain number of De puties, particularly by the Andalusian members, who are strenuous advocates of free trade; but it will have to encounter, on the other hand, the Opposition of the coalition, who are determined to resist the Ministry on every question, and of the Deputies from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. • The Three per Cents, were done at 21 5-16 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 27 13-16 13-16 at 60 days, for 13,800,000 reals. The Four per Cents. sold for 181 at 58 days, with the 11 coupons. The Paris papers received are still barren of domestic intelligence, but contain long articles on the affairs of other countries. The dismissal of IZZET MEHEmET, and the present and future state of ,Syria, give rise to long speculations. " The change of Ministry," says the correspon dent of. the Constitutionnel, " will necessarily bring about a speedy termination of the Syrian question. SELlM . BET.returned to Constantinople from Beyrout, on the 2 8t h ult., and immediately on his arrival the representatives of the five Powers sent in a note to the Divan, earnestly directing its attention to the solution of that ques tion. A collective conference with the Minister fur Foreign Affairs is to take place in a few days, and it is believed that the . Porte will readily ac quiese in the demands of Europe respecting the administration of that province." " The system of violent re-action," according to the Presse, "is now at an end. The SULTAN appears determined to adopt anew a policy of reform. RAOUF PACHA, whom he has elevated to the post of Grand Vizier, will have to resume the work, suspended ever since the downfal of REDSCHID PACHA. The internal administration will be milder and more equitable for the rayas, and the Christians of Syria will now obtain the protection which they vainly claimed during the last two years. Such is at least the programme of the new Ministry." The Journal des Debats thus defends the Go vernment for having established the monopoly of the gum trade in Senegal. " The Govern ment," it says, " acted within the sphere of its legal authority . . By allowing matters to remain as they stood in February last, a complete catas trophe was inevitable, which would have ul timately left two or three wealthy houses in possession of the trade of Senegal, amidst the ruins of all the others. If it is found necessary to obstruct for a while the opera tions of a few merchants, it rescued hundreds of others from utter discomfiture, and saved our harbours several millions, which, but for that extreme measure, would have been irretrievably lost. Finally, the Government was directed ia its conduct by political considerations. If France enjoys. any power on the coast of Africa, if her commerce has assumed there a considerable de velopment, if her factories require for their pro tection a very small military force, it is because the country is inhabited by a population of French citizens, who really represent our means of action and power.

Th e S ta d e duties are neither more nor less than one of those piratical robberies which the Barons and Princes of the middle ages committed on the people. Those plunderers perched themselves on a rock commanding a road or a stream, and sallying out whenever they saw carriers or vessels, detained them till they purchased a permission to proceed, by a per centage on their goods. Some ancient possessor of Stade, a town that did command the entrance to the Elbe, practised this trick; custom converted the demand into a regular payment, and now an exaction from all the commerce of the day which enters the Elbe is called hereditary property. Men must have strange ideas who call such plunder of the English merchants the hereditary proms perty of the King of Hanover. If he had, in the sanction of the merchants of the middle ages, a right to this toll, that right ceased the instant the mer chants of the day questioned it. From a right their refusal to be plundered converted it into a wrong. The King of Hanover does nothing to improve the navigation of the Elbe, for which service the toll is a suitable payment; it is a mere relic of feudal rob bery, and the Ministers of England will exhibit only pusilanimity, or—what is worse—a readiness to sacri fice the property of the people they are bound to pro tect, to gratify an ill-omened P r i nce , if th e y do not, on behalf 'of the English merchants, refuse to allow King Ernest to levy the fra c ti on o f a farthing on them. In fact, he has no power to enforce the col lection of the toll, and for the English Government to consent to levy it on English shipping, is to make that Government a tax-collector for the little Hano verian despot. LORD STANLEY IS NOT DEAD, either civilly or po litically. The rumour on this subject was not true. He received two persons, and two persons ac tually saw him, and transacted business with him, at the,Uolonial-office on Tuesday. We have no less au thority for our assertion than the Court Circular. While Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Aberdeen have been in Scotland attending on the Queen, while Sir J. Graham and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have been enjoying themselves at the Isle of Wight, or vi gorously putting down the Turn-outs in the North, Lord Stanley has been quietly labouring in the re cesses of the Colonial-office. How admirably, think some, will our colonies he governed. Others say that the Noble Lord has been commissioned by Sir Robert Peel to ope n all dispatches , which reach town in his absence, and forward to him the important ones, and this duty the, Noble Lord has performed with his usual diligence, and in a Most clerk-like manner. As the Noble LOrd .has now Proved that he is not dead, ciently admire th e po W er f u l ne cromancy of Sir ILE Ro bert Peel, whi c h has converted the fiery Tybalt into at work, the world cannot suffi but actively' a most humble and use f ul d ru d ge .

The appeal of Basson, condemned to death by the Court of Assizes at Puy de Dome for the murder of Madame Marcellange, will probably be decided on Thursday. Counsellor Bresson is to make the report The appeal will be supported by M. Gamier. Admiral higodel, commanding the station of Algiers, has arrived at Marseilles, in the Chimere steamer, which left Algiers on the 12th. The news that the King of Prussia would come to Paris incognito to visit the Duchess of Orleans, is unfounded. His Majesty has even so much repug nance to setting his foot on French ground, that though he has been expressly invited to take the iron railway from Paris to Bale, he prefers going by way of Constance to Bale, and thence to Neufchatel. General Voorst, the Governor of Besancon will, nevertheless, go to Neufchatel to compliment his Majesty in the name of the King of the French. The Aigrette, which has arrived at Havre, has brought news from Monte Video of the 10th of July. Political affairs were in the same state : it does not appear that Rosas was on his march to blockade Monte Video, as was reported ; there had been only demonstrations, which had not yet had any unplea sant consequences. Commercial transactions were hindered by the very high prices of the productions of the country. A letter from Vienna, Sept. 5, says, "As soon as the contracts for the railroad works in the North and South were taken, workmen were at once set on. Not less than 6,000 men are employed near Olmutz, and the number will be increased to 10,000 towards the end of autumn. On the Trieste line the works are also urged forward, and 30,000 men will be em ployed on both lines in the spring. M ONEY-TRADE-COMBTERCE. At Stockport, the whole of the thirty-five cotton factories, and one in the silk business, have resumed work, and tranquillity generally prevails. LAW AND POLICE. The adjourned inquest on the body of Joseph Lyons was proceeded with at Salford no Wednesday, and upwards of twenty witnesses had to be examined relative to Wrigley, the man who is supposed to have struck the fatal blow. The Insolvent Debtors' Court resumes its sittings on Monday next, and will continue them to the 14th of October, when another recess to the Ist of Novem ber is appointed. A verdict of " manslaughter" has been found against Joseph Coombs, who, it will be remembered, killed his adversary, James Lepton, in a prize-fight at Sa lisbury, last Monday. William Thomas, the driver of one of Messrs. Coulson'slslington omnibuses, was brought up atClerk enwell on Wednesday, after two remands, on a charge of manslaughter, in causing the death of Joseph Ellis, by negligent driving. The evidence was not sufficient to show how the deceased came to his death, and the prisoner was discharged. George East was brought up on Wednesday at Union hall for re-examination, charged with assaulting his father, aged seventy, and severely injuring him. Bail was accepted for his appearance as soon as his father is considered out of danger. John Innes, a servant in livery, was fully committed at Marlborough-street on Wednesday, for stealing two silver spoons, the property of Miss Emily Herbert, of 47, Brook-street. William Cooper, a seaman, and five others, sum moned Captain Phillip Pirouet, the master of a schooner, at the Thames-office on Wednesday, for a claim of 61.55., balanc3 of wages earned by them on a voyage 'to Marseilles and elsewhere. The Captain pleaded a loss which he had sustained by the joint misconduct of the men, and the Magistrate ordered thereon a reduction of 41., or one-sixth of the whole loss, to be deducted from the men's pay, subject to the condition of being able to prove the guilt of the party when the case came on for hearing. LXTE2AILY L&ND SCZEi:aTipxc. The Worcester Musical Festival commenced on Tuesday, with a selection from Handel and Dr. Croft. The band and chorus numbered upwards of 300 per formers, and 1,300 persons attended. The collection after the festival amounted to 3101., being 801. more than on former occasions. COUILT-PASIXIONABLE. The Duke of Wellington will leave Walmer Castle to-day for Apsley House, and to-morrow he will go down to Windsor, on a visit to the Queen. The Duke of Richelieu arrived at Fenton's Hotel on Monday, from a visit to Lord Willoughby D'Eresby at Drummond Castle. Prince Esterhazy left town on Wednesday on a visit toher Majesty, at Windsor Castle. The Earl of Aberdeen left town on Wednesday for Windsor Castle. The Earl of Wilton embarks early next week on his special mission to the Court of Bavaria. The Earl Grosvenor and Lord R. Grosvenor are at present partridge-shooting in Cheshire. The Earl of Chesterfield has purchased the Earl of Wilton's yacht. Sir R. Peel arrived in Whitehall Gardens on Wed nesday, from Drayton Manor, Staffordshire. Lord Strafford has left Portman-square on a tour. The office of High Sheriff of the county Kilkenny is void by the death of Robert Neville, Esq. The Marquis of Breadalbane was presented with the freedom of the Guildry of Dundee last week, as a public acknowledgment of she princely manner in which he eritertained her Majesty. The Court is expected at the end of October to visit Brighton, and to remain at the Royal Pavilion about a month or six weeks. A fire took place at Whitbread's brewery yester day, in consequence of the gasometer being over charged. It was got under after considerable damage had been done. A new church, to be called the Birmingham Rail way Church is about to be erected on a site of ground near the Company's central station at Wolverton, for the religious instruction of their servants, and the neighbouring population. The cost is to be 4,0001., of which nearly the whole is subscribed. - - - _ JIM CROW.-It is not among the least curious cir cumstances connected with the aspect of the political press, at the present moment, that the only thick and thin supporter of the Peel policy is the autrefois ultra- Radical Spectator. The Times, the Post, the Herald, and the Standard, though each sporting the colours of Toryism, have each exhibited, on several occasions, a spirit of insubordination bordering upon revolt. The Times grumbles at the Income-tax, dissents from the sliding-scale, affects vast indignation at the Poor-law, finds fault with Lord Ashburton, and would fain throw Sir James Graham overboard. The Post loudly complains that the Conservative leader has outdone the Whigs irs his bold innovations and sweeping reforms. The Herald takes upon itself to lecture and scold the Ministry after its own garrulous manner ; and the Standard is constantly getting itself into scrapes by its indecent sallies of desultory partisanship. But the Spectator, after having long laboured, with a zeal and ability worthy of a better cause, to run down th e Whigs, has at lerigth /Wowed itself the cordial sup porter of the present. Ministry, as " the only possible Government at the present conjuncture." Even Peel's " disagreeable income-tax " is praised as " evincing the, prudent statesman ;" while Peel's tariff is declared to be. "The largest measure of fiscal reform ever brought forward in this country." In short, Sir R. Peel has not in the avowedly Conservative ranks so fervent a eulogist, so zealous a champion. It would seem to be the peculiar fortune of the 'Conservative Minister, to have for his chief colleagues and sup porters too ' those who have quarrelled with their former friends, and betrayed or deserted their professed principles.---Patriot. LANDLORD AND TENANT.—Our readers generally may not be aware that Mr. Sharman Crawford has given notice that, on an early day next session, he will move for a Committee to inquire into the condi tion of the Irish tenantry, with a view to the legisla tive enactment of the fixity of tenure principle. No doubt vast benefit must arise from the labours of such a Committee, were it only to expose to the indignant gaze of the world the infamous tyranny of the Irish landlords as a class. The press—the Liberal press— if we except some of our ultra Whigs, though bold and honest, dares not hold up the ruinous system in the same satisfactory manner that a Committee, com prising a few just and honourable and determined men would do. We entertain a confident hope that great good Will be the result, The state of the Irish tenant has been too long neglected.—Linzerictißeporter. STEAM-BOAT COLLISION. about eleven o' c l oc k, a steam- b oat collision took ' place opposite the copper wharf of Messrs. Sims, Williams, and Co., between Southwark and London Bridges. It appeared that the " Jasmine" London and Westminster boat, was on her way up the river, with passengers, and when off the wharf was violently struck by the " Nymph," Woolwich boat, proceeding down the river, and with the tide. In an instant the passengers were thrown on the decks, when several Bankside waterman put off to their assistance, and, after a few minutes, all were placed ashore safely. Both vessels were considerably damaged. SECRECY.—In the debate in the United States Senate on the new British treaty, great care was taken to have the doors closed, and to keep everything secret. The weather being very hot, the wi n d ows were up, and Mr. Allen, from Ohio, who has a very shrill voice, talked so loud that any one could hear in the public walks outside the Capitol, and as he went over the whole ground, the details of the treaty were common talk in Washington before it passed the Senate. So much for secret session.. 'rA I E anti THURSDAY EVENING. The Money Market closed quite as firmly as it was during the first part of the day, Consols being 92i for Money, and 93 for the Account. India Stock, 249 251 ; Exchequer Bills Old, 51 53 ; New, 49 51 premium. - The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 102 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 514 52; the Five per Cents., 102 1023 ; Danish, 83 84 ; and Brazilian, 67 68. The application of the excess of funds over the amount necessary for the dividends still affords a source of conversation to the would-be buyers of Mexican Bonds. The real holders, however, appear to be perfectly satisfied to receive the dividend upon the debentures created out of the coupons in arrear, and to wait until the agents are duly authorised to pay off the principal. The circumstance of a parcel of this stock being brought to market, was made use of to depress the the quotation to an extent far below what the amount would legitimately have warranted; and could the representatives of the Mexican Go vernment.be induced to exceed their instructions, and redeem a part of the new obligations, an advance would of course take place proportionably advan tageous to those who had brought it about, but to the loss of the original sufferers. The quotation re mained at 35 354. The improvement in Brighton Railway Shares was continued, and London and Birmingham ad vanced to 182 184; Birmingham and Gloucester, 40 42; Great Western, 82 83 ; the Half Shares, 593 60}; South Western, 574. 583; North Midland, 56 58; the New Shares, 271 28k; South Eastern 21/ 22 ; Eastern Counties, 83 8 7 4 ; Northern and Eastern, 36 38; Blackwall, 64 74; and Brighton, 331 33i per share. The quotations of the Bonds were—Colombian, 20k 21 ; Peruvian, 15 16 ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 351 35 ; the Three per Cents., 21 21i ; Spanish Five per Cents., 16+ 16i ; the Three per Cents., 21/ 211. A A party who arrived this afternoon from a periodi cal visit to the manufacturing districts, gives a favour able account of their condition. At Leeds and Hud dersfield, business was extremely brisk, and at the latter town there were many more orders than could be executed for some time to come. They were nearly equally divided between a demand for the home trade and for exportation. The season of the year would, to a certain extent, account for the former, but those for shipment are generally attributed to a decided improvement. The workmen in Lancashire had for the most part returned, or were anxious to return, to their work, except at Ashton • little apprehension was, however, entertained but that matters would be speedily arranged there. - It does not often occur that proceedings at police offices greatly attract the attention of mercantile men, but the late forgery at the Money Order Office has created some sensation. It is universally allowed that were this department of the Post-office placed upon a proper footing, and which any merchant's clerk with twelve months' experience of business would be able to do, the arrangement would prove of great utility, and that, as it is at present constituted, it is a great nuisance in all its details to those who may have to transact business with it. The simple fact of filo forgery, which in itself argued great re missness, was commented upon pretty freely, and would have been before noticed had it not been pro bable that the case might thereby have been pre judged. But the defence successfully set up, as re ported in the Second Edition of The Sun to-day, has caused much indignation. Not only was it proved that the delinquent was mad, but that such being the case was notoriously known to each individual in the office. It is said that some parties are much to be blamed for keeping a young man in such a condition in so responsible a situation, and that the whole of the system requires a thorough revision, if it be in tended to produce a benefit to the public commensu rate to the charges made. The Cambridge packet-ship has brought intelli- gence from New. York a few hours later than that by the steamer, but no new facts. (From The Sun of Last Night.) But little business has been going forward during the morning, but the markets generally exhibit an improvement. Consols are 92-4 buyers for Money, and 93 93* for the Account; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1014; Exchequer Bills, Old, 49 51; New, 51 53 prem. Transactions in Foreign Securities continue to be chiefly in Brazilian and Dutch ; the prices of the latter are still flat; the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 51k, and the Five per Cents. 102+ 1024. Those of the former are also not quite so good, being 67i 674. The quota tion for Mexican Bonds is rather firmer, being 35. The principal feature in the Shar e Marketf (which is good), is an advance in the price of Brighton Rail way Shares, in consequence of the increased receipts, which in the week just terminated have reached 4,4991. Gs. 11d., and they are in demand at 331. London and Birmingham have been sold at 183 ; South Eastern, 22 ; Eastern Counties, 81; the New Shares, 71. 19s. 2d. ; and Debentures, 101. 6s. 8d ; Midland, Counties Quarters, 18i. Some speculative time-bargains have been made in the various bonds. Colombian 20; Portuguese Five per Cents., 351 354 ; the Three Cents., 24 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 161 ; and the Three per Cents., 21/. From the great irregularity which has occurred of late in the communication with the West Indies and South America, the report of the West India Mail Steam Packet Company has been read with interest. It is generally considered that, however unfortunate the result has been, the Directors have done their duty to the public, in carrying out the arrangements, though at a loss, and the new " com bi na ti on " to the dompany is thought to be likely to bring about at least a certainty in receipt of correspondence. The defect in the old, plan of attempting too much, which had been fre quently pointed out, is admitted iri the report, and by the proposed route will apparently be removed, inas much as the distance of 684,816 miles in the year is to be reduced to 392,976 miles, with every prospect of success. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, C;EPT. 21. Our market today has been very limited ; prices nominally the same as yesterdar.

Both the Queen and the Prince appeared in excellent health and spirits; and Lord Haddington, First Lord of the Admiralty, assured the Directoof the Company, who were in attendance upon her Majesty, that her Majesty was highly pleased with the ship, and with the accommodation afforded on the voyage." We understand the Trident would have reached Woolwich several hours sooner, but that her speed had to be regulated by that of the Royal squadron.—lt is a curious circumstance that the only dispatch from the Royal fleet the night before his Majesty George IV. came up the Firth, was received by Mr. R. W. Hamilton, of. the General Steam Na vigation Company, which that gentleman immediately transmitted to the Admiral on the station, Sir John Beresford. The Admiral, in the absence of his Se cretary, it being late at night, requested Mr. Hamil ton to officiate, who accordingly wrote out nine official communications for the authorities, including Sir R. Peel, then Home Secretary ; the Duke of Dorset, Master of the Horse ; Lord Melville, First Lord of the Admiralty; Sir Walter Scott, the Marquis of Lothian, Lord-Lieutenant of the county; Sir William Arbuthnot, Lord Provost, &c., &c. These dispatches were signed by Mr. H., and countersigned by the Admiral. Mr. Hamilton had also the honour of landing the unfortunate Charles X., and has now had the more grateful task of officially attending the embarkation of her Majesty and Prince Albert in the Trident. We may mention that George IV. landed on a Thursday, and again embarked, on that day fort night for London. Her Majesty and Prince Albert also landed on a Thursday, and left on a Thursday, having been, like George IV., exactly two weeks on Scottish ground.—Edinburgh Paper.
