It is a theory, confirmed by experience, that what depends on the will of one man may be capricious, and cannot be reduced to any genera laws ; but what depends on the will of a multi tude is not capricious, and is regulated by such laws. What, for example, appear more ca pricious than the liking and attachments of young men and women ? at least we of the male sex speak proverbially of the fickleness of young la dies ; and yet the records of every country show that the number of marriages, in proportion to the population, it much the same one year with another. The same is true of births, which also depend on individual passion and caprice. Or where any remarkable deviation occurs, either in marriages or births, it may in general be traced to, and accounted for, by some peculiar external circumstance, .such as abundant or scanty har vests, prosperous or decaying trade, which only serve to prove more completely how much the actions of the multitude, even when they appear the - most capricious, are under the guidance of general laws. The same fact is true of the number of letters posted. The number of or ders which any individual tradesman may re ceive by post, or the number of letters which men' or pleasure and corresponding friends and . relatives may write, seems a matter of what is .called chance, yet we learn, from. authen tic documents, that the number of letters trans mitted by the Post-office, year after year, is ex tremely steady ; and we have, in the great in crease of letters which has taken place in conse quence of Mr. Hues improvement, a remark able illustration of this apparently capricious circumstance being subjected to known, and, to some extent, calculable laws. It is a general fact, theretbre, confirmed by much experience, that however capricious may be the actions of an individual, the actions of a great multitude of individuals are not capricious, but are regular, and are determined by general laws. This well-known truth is as applicable to poll ties, as to any other branch of moral science; and the regular march of the representative Govern me‘nt of Great Britain, controlled by a large Portion of the population—and, we may say , considering the influence of the Press, con trolled by the bulk of the population —as contrasted with the less regular march of the Governments of Prussia or Austria, which merely depend on a Monarch and a Mi nister—and with the still less regular march of the Government of . the self . willed SULTAN, is aniliustration the correctness of which every Englishman will admit. In spite, however, of this truth being applicable to All nations and people, at all times, and necessarily making the march of a democracy more regular and steady than the march of a monarchy, we find one of our Contemporaries breaking out yes terday into a furious tirade against the uncer tainty of the regulations and policy of the Government of the United States. Such ob- . servations are undoubtedly contrary to all. theory, and, we think, contrary to the facts. The occasion of the tirade is, the recent altera tions in the American tariff; but so far from that being capricious or unexpected, it was long fore seen and foretold ; and, moreover, since the year 1816, the legislation of the United States has tended continually in that direction. Our Corn-laws (says Mr. Goddard, in a letter to the Birmingham Advertiser) having cut off this market for flour, and our money-laws having drained the States of specie, the manufacturing interest there became extremely active and clamorous ; and through holding up to the community as an example the pro hibitory laws of England, and enlarging on the• loss of the English market for flour, and by urging through every possible channel the advantages and • necessity of creating a home market for produce, by fostering their own manufactures, succeeded in passing through Congress the tariff of 1816. Still further derange ment being experienced through the action of our money-laws in 1821, 22, and 23, the still higher tariff of 1824 was enacted ; and again, from the same cause, the high discriminatory tariff of 1828 was forced through Congress ; the manufacturing interest during this whole period being increasing in their efforts in writing, speaking, and in every possible way in inculcating their own interested notions, and in in stilling into men's minds their peculiar views. While our trade has been year afteryear exposed to alterations in duties in Germany, Spain, and Portugal, it has not been exposed to any such al terations of duties in the United States. The only memorable fluctuation in the policy of the United States, in respect to commerce, that occurs to us, which may not be easily outdone by the conduct of almost every monarchy in Europe, and in al most every year, was first chartering and then dischartering the great monied corporation of the United States Bank. But even that change in the policy of the American Government and people was not accomplished without a long and arduous struggle, which gave warning to all parties concerned, while in a European monarchy such a change would have been accomplished on the instant, without any warning whatever. Comparing the alteration of the United States tariff with the ordonnance for raising the duties ' on linen yarn in France, we affirm that the latter was sudden and capricious compared to the long discussed and foreseen American tariff. Our Contemporary, like many other persons, mistakes, we believe, the form for the substance. Because the Bank of England has only un dergone one legislative change, while the banks of the Federal States have undergone several, he infers that here all is stability, and there all fluc tuation. In fact, however, the conduct of the Bank of England, though more regular, from being influenced by a numerous Proprietary and a body of Directors, than it would have been had it been under the sole guidance of an individual, has been extremely capricious, now pushing out its notes, offering a large loan to the United States Bank, and anon screwing down the circulation to the lowest possible level, as the gold flowed into or flowed out of its coffers, or as its own apparent interest dictated. In fact, the capricious conduct of the Bank of England, according to the opi nion of tho best informed merchants, had no little influence bath in causing the excessive speculation in the United States in 1834 and 1825, and in paralyzing trade there in 1838. While a change in a Ministry has endangered the peace of Europe, or re-established the friendly relations which self-will and smart dip lomatic impertinence had endangered, the people of England have through many years relied on the steady friendship and steady policy of the United States, and have felt that many successive changes in the Presidents and in their Cabinets could have, because the people were friendly, little or no influence on the peaceful relations between the two nations. Nay, when differences have arisen between the Cabinets of England and America, rational and philanthropic men in both countries have invariably looked to the good disposition of the great multitude in both, and to the binding commercial interests of the many, to preserve that peace which the self-will of their respective rulers might en danger. We know no monarchy of Europe—not even that of Austria, under the guidance of Prince METTERNICH—Of which the policy, com mercial and other, is so steady and so evidently uuder the influence of general laws, like the number of letters transmitted through the Post office, as the democracy of the United States. This perhaps theoretical discussion has an important practical bearing. On account of the asserted unsteadiness in the policy of the United States, trade with that country is decried, and it is said to be " shameful to think that the com fort of our people should be left to rest on a foundation like this." Nearly all that is un stable in the commercial policy of the United States may be traced to our own money opera tions, and all that is hostile to our own laws. The comfort of our people, therefore, rests, as it ought and must rest, on no other foundation than their own conduct and their own laws, and it is in their power to-morrow, by abrogating our own scandalous legislation, to place the trade be tween the two countries on the simple, uninterrupted, but broad basis, of the mutual wants of the two people. One year with another, our people would re quire an equal, or rather ever-increasing, quan tity of meat, flour, cheese, and cotton to be brought from the United States ; and, one year with another, the Americans would require an equal, or gradually increasini, quantity of woollen garments, scythes, and cutlery from England. The quantities required would be in both countries quite as regular, and quite as definite, as the number of marriages and births. Both would depend on the bellies to be filled in one country, and on the backs to be clothed in the other; and over those great natural circumstances human laws and commercial treaties can have but little influence. Free trade would place the commerce of both countries under the na tural laws of trade, and would release it alike from the caprice of an American Congress or that of a British Parliament. Unfortunately for the country, those who know the least possible about the natural foundations of trade in the mu tual wants of different men, and the natural laws which regulate it, persist in disturbing it by their own crude and mischievous restrictions. The friends of the priesthood, disguised under the term Church, have formed a dogged determi nation to obtain and secure for them a com plete ascendancy over society. We .are to have more Bishops as well as more Churches and more Rectors. It is again proposed to revive the Con vocation, that the English priesthood may, like the Presbyterian priesthood in the General As sembly, provide for the independent government of the Church, and beard the secular authority. The Church Courts are. to be restored in all the fullness of ecclesiastical dominion. Hints are thrown out that the appointment of Bishops must be taken out of the hands of the Ministers, and not placed, as originally, in the hands of the congre gations, but given to the priesthood. Then these great ecclesiastical functionaries, much multi plied, placed each at the head of his Court, which they will use more effectually than the pulpit, wielding the power of the whole clerical corpo- ' ration, will, it is expected, be a complete match fur the State, somewhat jealous of them, and will regain for the priesthood all the power they pos sessed in the dark ages. Only they, we are told, can deal with Chartism ; only they can counteract the effects of education; only they can offerany re sistance to the "false principles" which threaten to disable the State; and they only can make the people virtuous. The State is to be taught that there is no safety for it but under the wing of the priesthood, and it is to be at once coaxed and bullied into making them supreme over all. That such designs are entertained, we arc not at all surprised. We should, on the contrary, be surprised if they were not, as all political par ties conspire to assert that the services of the priesthood are essential to the well-being of so ciety. Their determination to obtain a complete supremacy is the practical logical conclusion from the opinion that they cannot be dispensed w ith. It being asserted and believed that they are necessary to man's salvation, to which all other things are said to be inconceivable trifles, they act only consistently with that opinion in claim ing supremacy over all other powers. Either we THE SUN. LONDON,_ 'FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1842. depend on the will of the French Government. M. GUIZOT May very legally anal very loyally cancel ;min this moment, if he thinks fit, th0,...e deplorable conventions, or prolong, during another year, their disastrous effects." The, e liter then contends, that by signing the ASH-. BURTON Treaty, England has explicitly admitted that the right of search was not absolutely neces sary for the repression of the slave trade, conse quently the original cause of the mutual en gagements has disappeared, and " with it must disappear our engagements themselves." The following are extracts from the Provincial papers : The Journal du Havre gives the following narrative of a remarkable act of audacity, committed by a slaver in the roadstead at Congo. She lay-to far several days in presence of the English brig Rolla, each watching the other carefully. At length, deter mined to risk all, the slave-ship, in open day, sent her boats on shore, and brought off a number of blacks, who were kept in readiness for her, and, having stowed them in her hold prepared for sailing. In the mean time the British brig had been observing her proceed ings, and at length sent off her boats to make the search and seizure ; but as they approached the slaver she unmasked her guns, and, levelling them at the assailants, fired, and killed fourteen men. During the confusion the unexpected resistance occasioned, the slaver slipped her cable, and got clear away, before the Rolla could be made ready to follow her. The Sud of Marseilles Of the' Ist 'says :—" Yes terday, as General Tiburce Sebastiani was inspecting the troops of the garrison of this place, his coun tenance was observed suddenly to change on the re ceipt of a letter from Algiers. It was the announce ment of the death of his nephew, Lieut. Sebastiani, the son :of the elder brother of the General, M. Ange Sebastiani. The Lieutenant, who, although only twenty-four years • of age, had greatly diStinguished himself in his military career, was killed by the ball of an Arab, on the 19th ult. Although mortally , wounded, he had strength enough to detach the cross of honour from his breast, and to cut off a lock of his hair, telling his friend, Lieut. Aigremont, who was at his side, to send them to 'his mother. Immediately afterwards he breathed his last. " The averav price of wheat throughout France at the close of September was 20f. 25c. per hectolitre, which is an advance of 74c., as compared with the average price at the latter end of August. " The Captain of the Anna, merchantman, lately arrived at 'Nantes, reported that on his departure from Bourbon an extraordinary expedition, composed of five vessels of war, had sailed for Madagascar, with several companies of artillery and troops of the line on board, for the purpose of subduing a tribe which had taken prisoner the Queen of the country adjoining Noss-Bay.

Is the whole body so bigoted and corrupt that an honest man cannot associate with them ? 'IMPERIAL It'ARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, Oct. 6. Parliament was prorogued to-day by Commission to Thursday, the 3.oth of November next. Shortly after twelvd o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Aberdeen, and the Earl of Shaftesbury, entered the Ilouse robed as Lords Commissioners, and having taken their seats on the Bench below the Throne, Mr. Goodbody, acting as Deputy-Usher of the Black Rod, was commanded by their Lordships to summon the Commons to the Bar to hear the Com mission for proroguing the Parliament read. Mr. Goodbody then proceeded to the House of Commons, and shortly afterwards appeared at the Bar attended by Mr. William Ley, together with several other officers of that House, but not a single Member was present. The Commission for proroguing the Parliament having been read by the Clerk at the table, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, in obe dience to her Majesty's command, and by virtue of the Commission that has just been read, we do declare and notify to you, that it is her Majesty's royal will and pleasure, that the Parliament should be pro rogued to Thursday, the 10th day of November, next, and it is prorogued accordingly. The Officers of the House of Commons then retired from the bar, and the Lords Commissioners left the House. must deny their great utility, or we rilust prepare to submit to their sway. There is no alternative, I and no middle course. When such inordinate pretensions are put forth on the part of the priesthood, it becomes us to examine their claims. Fortunately tor the public, even those who make the most ex travaant demands in favour of our own clergy, will join with us in saying that the Ro mish 'priesthood of Italy, Spain, France, and Ireland, are undeserving of confidence, and could well be dispensed with. The condition of those countries will bear out the opinion. Far from being at present the messengers of peace and good-will to men, the Presbyterian priesthood are sowing dissension in the land, and, by their example, exciting that resistance to the legal authorities for which the Chartists are punished. The priesthood of the Church of England, it is admitted by their friends, were frozen down to " the accidental formula!" of two hundred years ago, and stood still while society was expanding around them, making no efforts to keep pace with its growth. Nay, they even expelled from amongst them men burning with zeal, full of activity and self-denial, able to move the hearts of thousands, and suffered them to lead into schism half the people. Now we are required to believe that the priest hood, suddenly awakened to the loss of that • power they have allowed to slip out of their hands, and ambitious only of imposing on the . senses of mankind, and of regaining dominion over them by cunning and hypocritical contri vances, pretended purity, fasts, and vigils, are the only possible instruments for securing order, morality, and happiness in this world, as well as leading the way to salvation hereafter. Whatever the priesthood Might have been during the dark ages, when they possessed all the knowledge which had been preserved of an cient Greece and Rome, when they Were the most civilized order of men, and were far advanced in morality beyond the rude tribes that swarmed over Europe—at present they are not, either in knowledge, morality, or civilisation, superior to other men, and cannot be the sources of improvement. During the last two centuries they have not been, and we have, therefore, no reason whatever to believe that, they can now again become, the leaders in civilization. Trade which unites foreign nations in friendly bonds, does not need to be, and is' not, heralded by the priesthood. Division of labour, which makes men mutually dependent, mutually civil, and mutually forbearing, is not advanced by their instrumentality. The knowledge of the natural laws which regulate the course of society, and of the laws which determine the well-being of individuals on earth, which is indispensable to in creasing civilization, is rather retarded than pro moted by the priesthood, who treat such know- ledge as vain and insufficient. To political free dom, which is essential to human happiness, they are opposed. They dread and resist the expansion of the popular mind. Far from being in any part of Europe at 'present the leaders of civilization, we find them everywhere resisting its progress, and everywhere endeavouring to hold back manklitd to the knowledge of dark and barbarous ages. We boldly deny, therefore, the vast utility ascribed to the priesthood; we deny that they are essential to civilization ; and we caution those who hold contrary opinions, that the priesthood mean to build up for themselves on their opinions, if they can, a great and en during power over the hearts and minds of their fellow-creatures. At a meeting of the English Shareholders in the Paris and Rouen Railway, held at Liverpool last week, the Chairman made the following re marks The Directors in Paris and the Eng lish Directors had worked together for two years, and although the English Directors had origin ally had reserved to them the power of voting by proxy on all points on which they differed from their French colleagues, they had never had occasion to put that forth, so harmonious bad the two bodies worked together." In the Report we also find a paragraph of a similar de scription in these words:—" We can safely affirm that among the 8,000 men now employed, nothing- has ever occurred beyond slight dis putes, which it is almost impossible to prevent among so vast a body of men." When we con trast noble conduct like this with the inflamma tory and abusive ,language of writers in French newspapers, we almost imagine that these Writers, and the French Directors and workmen, are people of different nations, and have no feel ings in common. According to the former everything England does is bad—she insults France by her haughty claims, rejoices in Crippling her trade and commerce, and, in fact, appears to have no other object in view but to rasp at power and dominion only for the pur pose of humbling and weakening her neighbour. we are assisting her in one of the greatest and most useful works ever undertaken in that Country, and embarking our capital for the corn- . idetion of a line which will soon unite the most Commercial port of France with the capital, and thereby increase the trade and resources of both, we are absurdly accused of wishing to ruin her. This shows great want of judgment, want of common sense, and of that courtesy which two neighbouring nations owe to one another, and writers who can indulge in such strains are the very worst enemies of their country. Eng land rejoices in the prosperity of France. She wishes to encourage trade and friendly communications, as tending alike to the preserva tion of peace and the best interests of mankind. Could we have given a stronger proof of these feelings than in supporting this national under taking, even at a time of great political embar rassment, and when no man could tell if peace would continue fbr six months? The good understanding which prevails between the French and English Directors, however, shows that the people of France do not in general participate in the warlike sentiments of certain writers, and affords strong grrounds for antici pating harmony and peace. It sets a noble ex ample also, to other countries, an example of vyeing with each other in carrying out a great work with more harmony and expedition than perhaps ever was exhibited on similar occa sions, by even men of the same language and country. It was commenced only two years ago; every part of the works will be completed within the original estimate; and, we trust, in a Short . time to have the satisfaction of announcing its opening to the public. The accounts from. Madrid are to the 27th ult. The Government hoped to be able to settle the affair of the forty millions of reals. Senor SA. LAMANCA, who is said to be CHRISTINA'S agent. bad arrived at Madrid, from London, and was stated to be a bidder fur the quicksilver mines of Almaden, which were to be put up for public competition on the 27th. General VAN HALEN'S circular was still the subject of much comment, nor was it known what course the Government intended to pursue. All accounts, however, agree in stating that if such a measure is put in force, it will bring the troops and the Ayuntamientos into frequent collision. The Madrid Gazette declares that all the re ports which have circulated by the Memorial Bordelais, respecting certain financial projects, which must entail a national bankruptcy in Spain, are wholly destitute of foundation. How is the Government to prevent vague and incre dible stories from being rumoured about, when the Treasury is penny less, and the employes and the army are crying out to be paid? The Three per Cents. were done at 211, at sixty days; and the Five per Cents. at 25/, for c 2GI and . 27/, with half premi um , a t sixtyasl ; i days.

The Nationizt has another article on the treaties for the right of search, from which the following is an ex tract :—" According to the treaties of 1831 and 1833 British cruisers cannot exercise that right, un less they be provided with a warrant, delivered by tbe French Governinent, and,which is renewable every year. The continuance or immediate abro gation of the right'of visitation will accordingly COURT CIRCULAR.

There are various rumous afloat respecting Mr. Jones being ill-used, none of which we gill notice further, than to ob serve that they do not concern the public, and, there foru, ought not to be dragged into a public journal.— Salopian Journal. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The arrivals of the past week at this port have been—from Rotterdam, by the Emerald Isle, one bull,' two cows, an ox, two calves, forty-eight fat sheep, and seven pigs ; and from Ham burgh, by the William -Darley, twenty-five fine oxen; and by the Hamburgh, twenty-one good pigs. According to the official returns, the number of foreign cattle on which duty has been paid up to the 17th instant, is, at London -295 beasts and calves ; sheep and lambs, none ; nine pigs. At Hull-567 beasts and calves, 151 sheep, and fifty-two pigs.— Hull Rockingham. HARVEST IN THE HIGHLANDS.—The weather since our last has been exceedingly favourable for the har vest, and there is scarcely a stook out in this locality. During Wednesday and last night there was rather a :harp frost, and we observed some potato stems a little blackened in consequence this morning. A few days more of fine weather will perfect the clear ance of the fields in the latest sites, and we shall then see the conclusion of one of the finest harvests which has occurred for years in the Highlands.—Ross-shire Advertiser. THE SUPPOSED SUICIDE AT LONDON-BRIDGE.— Mr. Carter held an inquest yesterday at the White Lion, near Rotherhithe Church, on the body of a woman, who was taken out of the river on Sunday last, and who was supposed to have leaped from Lon don-bridge, with her child, on Sunday, about a fort night ago. No one, however, came forward to iden tify the body. The clothes remain with Mr. Gard ner, the beadle, in Paradise-street. Verdict—" Found drowned." SUM . ' , IiFIY OF NEWS'. AND Outtic Optuton. " Who runs may read." FOREXGN. It appears, from a statement which has just been published by the Minister of Public Works, that of the sum of 68,930,000 f. voted by the Chamber of De puties since the year 1837 for the repair and improve ment of the various seaports in France, there had been expended up, to the 31st December, 1841, the sum of 36,303,995 f. The works, in many of the ports are entirely terminated, and in others they are proceeding with great activity. M. Lablache, the eminent singer, is said to be dan gerous ill at Paris, of inflammation of the chest. It is rumoured, by a letter from Berlin, that the Emperor of Russia was to arrive there in October. A diminution of the Sound dues is in contempla tion at Berlin, and there is also some idea of establish ing a steam communication between Prussia and the United States. - • Prince Albert of Prussia, J according to the Com merce, is on his way to Rio Janeiro, for the purpose, as rumour states, of soliciting in marriage the sister of Don Pedro. None of the Russian papers (to the 24th ult. inclu sive) say a syllable about the great fire at Kasan. The Emperor had arrived at Moscow on the 14th. Count Nesselrode. the Minister for Foreign Affairs, had left St. Petersburgh on a journey to Germany. During his absence, the business of the Foreign-office was to be conducted by Count Woronzoff-Danhkoff. Prince Michael Stourdza, Regent of Moldavia, who bad been sojourning for a short time at Brussels, left that city on Saturday last, on his return to Jassy. The Independant of Brussels states that the Prince, during his short stay, made purchases of furniture, carpets, clocks, &c., to the amount of more than four hundred thousand francs. The Marseilles journals of the Ist state that Lieu tenant Sebastiani, nephew of the Marshal and General Tiburce Sebastiani, has been killed in Africa by an Arab shot. He fell at the head of his company. The celebrated poet Louis Tieck has been struck with apoplexy at Potsdam. Prince Michael, the deposed Governor of Servia, has sent delegates to Vienna and St. Petersburgh, as • well as to Constantinople, to implore assistance against his revolted subjects. The King and Queen of Prussia, with their suite, arrived on the 30th inst., at Frankfort, from Darmstadt. Count Arnim, the Prussian Ambassador, arrived at Paris on Tuesday, from.Neurchatel, to which city he had accompanied his Majesty the King of Prussia. The French Levant packet, and the English packet, with the Indian mail, had not arrived at Marseilles on the Ist, when the mail for Paris left. P'OI3I.IC OPINION. The Times makes the following comments on the present position of the Church of England : "We see daily, and we rejoice to, see, signs of increasing power, and increasing conscious ness :of power, in the Church of England. 'We do not speak of temporal or political, but 'of moral power—increased ability and willingness on the part of the Church and her rulers to carry out and to dis charge to their legitimate extent the duties of spiri tual government and spiritual guidance which are con fided to her. Not only is she labouring everywhere, with a zeal and success which would have been ridi culed as impossibilities a few years ago, to supply by her own unaided resources the wants of that vast por tion of the people who are destitute of the means of instruction and the opportunities of worship, but a new life is gradually developing itself in her own in ward organic system, of which the importance can not be over-estimated. Politically speaking (though it would be the worst sort of affectation to deal with this subject as if we regarded it from a merely poli tical point of view), it is of incalculable importance at the present moment that the Church should act with vigour, 'energy, and union. She is the only power in the State which can deal with Chartism, or counteract the evil effect of those bastard, truth despising, pride-fostering systems of " education " ' with which the liberalism of the present day sup poses that the lower orders can be made virtuous. But 'for her, the State; which seems to have already lost the power of offering resistance to these false principles, might soon be disabled from making any effectual opposition to their consequences. And though she may be aided by the State to provide her self, more speedily than she otherwise could, with the outward appliances necessary to give due effect to her influence,, all this will be of little avail, unless she bring a spirit to the work which the State mtiph needs to receive, but can never give." We `quote the following observations from the Post :—" If our memory serve us faithfully, the Morning Post was the first English journal that warned the manufacturers of this country of what was brewing on the other side of the Atlantic in rela tion.to the duties on wrought goods exported from England to the United States. It was not our fault if folks at home were not prepared for the sudden in crease of duties which has followed the expiration of Mr. Clay's Compromise Act ; for, over and over again, we have been at pains to lay before the public the true state of facts as regarded the respective posi tions of the protective and the anti-protective par ties in the States. We did not deny that the free traders were numerous and influential, but we knew that their opponents were not by any means weak ; and a careful examination of the financial embarrass ments of the Republic led us to the confident expecta tion that, on the whole, the balance of influence would, for the present at least, incline decisively towards the opinions of the latter. The blow has come—it was not averted by the prodigious conces sions made by Great Britain in favour of American produce. Under the new scale of duties, English manufactures, if we are to credit the representations of many persons connected with the American trade, will be virtually excluded. This view, we believe, is much exaggerated. But no doubt can exist that a serious check will be experienced by our manufactur ers, and that the export trade in hardware, cotton goods, &c., will be much cramped and injured." The Chronicle, alluding to the Form of Thanks giving for the late abundant harvest, says :—" It has been discovered of late that churches are desecrated by parish meetings and by musical festivals. Neither politics nor art are deemed religious enough for the sanctity of the buildings : and yet the love of political liberty, and its assertion, though on the lowest arena provided by the Constitution, may lay some claim to, the rank of a moral and religious principle. And the sublime compositions of Handel and Haydn, of Spohr and Mendelssohn, have something in them that tends to raise the soul towards the great source of its being. The fastidiousness that finds desecration here, surely should not tolerate the dirtiness or the dull ness that eliminates the item of cheapness from a public thanksgiving for the harvest. If not for its conse quent cheapness, what is there, in a plentiful crop of corn, for which the great body of the people should be thankful ? If the cheapness do not result, or be not expected and intended to result, why thank Pre. vidence at all ? Why attempt, the shabby compro mise of cheapness omitted with thankfulness expressed, and thus send devotion into the Creator's presence, halting between the feelings of the monopolist few and the suffering many, and worshipping with the voice of Jacob and the hands of Esau ? These tricky compromises are characteristic 'of the man who now holds the reins of political authority, but we do not want the spirit of Peel in the prayers of the Church." The Advertiser says :—" If the Whigs think of re gaining some portion of public favour, in attacking the policy of 'their rivals, why do they not do so on le gitimate grounds, and to some noble, disinterested in tent ? But the question is, how have they the effrontery to denounce the sliding scale, while pro posing nothing better themselves than an Bs. -duty ? If they. were sincere in their battling for freedom of commerce, what would they have to do with a duty on corn at all ? If Sir Robert Peel has played off the landlords, we can only say it is,:so much to his credit with the country and: with the agriculturists ; but by their own ad mission,- the Whigs would not have played thus into the hands of the country; but really :into those of the landlords. The - fact, however, is, the nation wants not the 'arts' of the tariff, as, after the remarks of the Chronicle, they are perhaps to be called, nor the open fraud of the sliding scale. In good truth, the nation is sick of the artifices and intrigues of all her several enemies, be they Peelites, Whigs, or out and-out-Conservatives : they are entirely the same in this—they Man nothing beyond their own interests. One may endeavour to accomplish the points of his ambition by one means, another through other media; but the grand goal of these several factions is identical —it is self here, self there, self everywhere. The best part of Sir Robert Peel's policy is .assuredly the tariff, which is, in fact, the only part, as he himself knows, which keeps him in office." moNzy—TRADE—COMMERCE. A special meeting of the Proprietors of the Northern and Eastern Railway was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern, when resolutions were passed for the disposal of 3,136 foreited shares, and also for authoris ing the Drectors to borrow 155,0001.

NAVAL AND 111ILITART. The late Rear-Admiral Butterfield, whose death took place recently at Portsmouth, was midshipman of the Buffalo in the Dogger Bank action in 1781; and in the Nonsuch in Rodney's action; was Lieute nant of the Majestic in Howe's ; was senior of the Mars in her hard fought action with and capture of L'Hercule, when liee Captain (Hood) was mortally wounded ; while commanding the Hazard, captured, after an action of nearly two hours, the French ship of-war Neptune, of 10 guns, 53 crew, and 270 soldiers; served as agent of transports at the capture of the Cape in 1805. LAW AND POLICES Edward John Stephens alias Edward Williams, was again re-examined at Lambeth-street, on the charge of obtaining goods from tradesmen to a large amount, and further remanded for a fortnight. Francis Kirby, of whom the police have been in search since January last, was brought up at Kensing ton on Wednesday, charged with having committed a violent assault on Charles Baldwin, a servant of the Bishop of London, and also with having stolen some planks, the property of his Lordship. The prisoner was committed to Newgate. George Watt, late of the firm of Thomas and Watt, warehousemen, of Bow-lane, was brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences. The evidence gave suffi cient ground for his remand till to-day. Jane Refford, a country-girl, summoned her mas ter, William Knott, at A.larlhorough-street, on Wed nesday, for an assault. He was fined 4/. and costs. It transpired at an inquest held before the Coroner for Surrey on Wednesday, that great irregularity attaches to the present holding of inquests, the death often occurring in one jurisdiction,and the inquest been held in another. Several railway cases, and others of recent occurrence, were cited. The inquest ought, by strict rule, to be held • near the spot, and in the same county in which the death takes place. _ _ rnna ILTLTS.

Lord Elgin gain ing more popularity; he and Lady Elgin had gone into the country for her Ladyship's health. The House of Assembly would commence their session some day this month, and affairs were very harmonious between the . Governor _ and the Members. The sugar crop was expected to average about 60,000 hogsheads. The Ist of August ships had all sailed, and there was pro duce at hand to load the vessels in port. The want of labourers was very much felt, the wages not being sufficiently high to remunerate the negroes for their work, which consequently caused a refusal to labour on their part. The. Electra had arrived with specie from Carthagena, which ship of war, with the steamer Spitfire, were in 'port: LIMA; JUNE 18.--General Lafuente on the part of the Peruvians, and General Baliviana on behalf of Bolivia, had come to conditions of peace at Puno, so that no* in those quarters matters are settled.

At one time there were 26 cases on board the Dee; two seamen fell victims to its violence, and the ships, ge nerally, were severe sufferers by the loss of different members of the crews. The Government had issued an order, that if any British sailor or officer was found on shore with any sharp weapon above 16 inches long, they should be condemned to six years' hard labour in the chain gangs. It appears that this proclamation was issued on account of some Spaniards having got worse off in a scuffle which ensued between them and some sailors belonging to one of the steamers.
