We have not heard anything like a wish ex pressed that Sir HUGH GOUGH and Admiral PARKER had been allowed and encouraged to continue their career of conquest. The public wished for honourable peace, and its delight is, that peace, with such great advantages, has been achieved. Though desirous of money, generally speak ing, and anxious to spare its own pocket, the public has not felt half the pleasure on account of the money to be paid, which it has felt on ac count of the ports to be opened. THE EXPECTED EXTENSION OF OUR TRADE, opening to Europe a new world, enabling commerce to restore the public prosperity, and to spread civilization through the East, accompanied by peace and happiness, is the foundation of the hearty re joicing which has pervaded the whole empire. We hail that feeling with unfeigned delight, as a complete proof that the sickly and hypocritical sentimentality which certain Tory writers have directed against commerce and a town popula tion, has found no response in the public mind. The nation continues, practically and heartily, faithful to the great principle of our ancestors, that commerce is the soul of the national great ness; and it delights, above all things, in the prospect which the treaty with China holds out, of a vast extension of trade. It is impossible, after establishing this import ant truth, not bitterly to regret that this perma nent stream of truly British sentiment has not long before now carried the Government along with it to extend our trade with other countries, which offer, .at least, as great advantages as China. To effect that no war would be necessary. Far from engaging in conflicts, which we are sen sible many of the people disapprove of; it is only necessary to preserve the relations of friend ship, cultivate peace, and allow our own people free scope for their enterprise. No new Consuls, or diplomatic relations, always costly, and very often more mischievous than beneficial, would have been required; there was no occasion for any increased and expensive action of the Government ; the silent and unobtrusive exer tions of individuals would have effected this great end. No credit, perhaps, would have been gained for any Ministers; there would have been nothing for parasites to boast of; but the prospe rity and peace of the whole world would have been promoted by what some high-souled per sons call the vulgar labours of the Sheffield cut lers, of the Manchester spinners and weavers, and of the cultivators of the earth throughout the wide continent of America. In setting labour free, there is nothing to attract and dazzle the world. All that the statesman can hope for is the gratitude of an enriched posterity, which is as nothing compared to the present applause of a victory, and of their opening, by their own act, a few ports some thousand miles further off. One great advantage which opening and ex tending a trade with America, by making trade free, would have over a trade with Asia, arises from the fact that the former is peopled with men of European descent, who have European habits and wants which our industry is calculated to gratify; while the bulk of the Asiatics, sepa rated into castes, and drilled into slavery, have peculiar wants and habits, which will require some education on our part to learn, and some new skill to gratify. It is said, for example, in the Leeds Mercury, speaking with authority— That the Chinese have religious, or quasi religious scruples, against wearing fabrics which are made of two different materials, as wool and cotton. We know of a case in which a lot of worsted goods with cotton warps was sent to Canton, and sold on arrival by the pattern card; but on the day following the sale was cancelled by the Hong merchants, who alleged that the goods were made of animal and vege table substances mixed, which was contrary to nature as well as to their religion. In this respect the Chinese act on the principle laid down in the Mosaic law ' " Neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon tbee." Levit. xix. 19. It may be relied on that mixed fabrics will not sell in China. But manufactures may be made cheap in pro portion as there is an extensive demand for them, and we cannot hope to obtain as profitable and extensive a trade with people who have such peculiar tastes, as with people who have tastes somewhat like our own. Another consideration is, that the bulk of the Asiatics are very poor, live on very little, and pass from generation to generation without mak ingany material improve ment in their condition. We shall find some better data, however, for reasoning on the sub ject in the actual state of our trade with Asia, and in its developement, than in any conjectures. It is now nearly two hundred years since tea was known and used .in Europe, and the average quantity imported into Eng land during the last ten years is about 36,000,0001b5., which, taking the average cost price only at ls. per lb., is 1,800,0001. we pay to China for tea alone. This trade has for that long period been gradually growing up, and tea, which comprises only one article of our imports, has swelled to that magnitude. In Mr. MACCUI:- LOCH'S Dictionary we find the value of our im ports of merchandise from China, set down in 1826-1827 at 2,264,7261., while our exports of merchandise to that country for the same years, was only 764,418/. Tn 1827-1828, the im ports from China were 1,981,4191., and our ex ports of merchandise to China 709,261/. In the many years, therefore, that we traded with China down to 1880, we only found means to make them take from us about one-third of the quantity of commodities or merchandise which we took from them, and we had to pay for the remainder in hard cash. But this refers to the state of our trade with China before the abolition of the ,East India Com pany's Charter. It happens, too, that all the ac counts of trade with China are mingled with those of the trade with India. Before the abolition of the Charter our exports to China were included under one head with those of India, as exports to Asia. Since the abolition of the Charter, the interruption of the trade with China, a n d its tin certainty, have caused the exports really i n t en d e d for that country to be sent to Singapore or some other English settlement, arid included, therefore, in the exports to India. Thus the declared value of our exports to the latter country rose from 4,285,829/. in 1836, to 6,023,1921. in 1840, W hil e the exports to China fell off from 1,326,388/. in the former year, to 524,1981. in the latter. It would seem more satisfactory, therefore, and more elucidatory of tile progress of our trade with Asiatics, if we include the trade to India and China. The reader will remember that our empire in Hindostan embraces a population of nearly 90,000,000 souls, and has now been for several years of that extent. Scattered over that empire is no inconsiderable Euro pean population,. and a population of mixed descent, spreading European habits and tastes throughout the Hindoo population. There is an extensive European press; there are Euro pean merchants, indigo and sugar planters, and all the varied population of a European trading community, besides the servants of the Govern ment. All those are circumstances which serve to extend our trade with Hindostan to a degree which cannot be hoped for with China. To trade with the north of China, our people must learn a new language, as well as acquire a knowledge of the habits of a people new to them; and nu nierous as are the Chinese, therefore, they can scarcely within a short period give the same ac cession to our trade as the inhabitants of Hin dostan. In the "Tables of the Trade of the United King dom" from 1831 to 1840, we find the average de clared value of our within that periodspe ofexportsonly of to those two countries, ten years, to have been 4,45'0,000/. We speak leot t w o b t i t e r h export s, thos ec o b u e n c t a r i u e s s e we look merely at the ont, mayb e and China in particular,ln Mr. expected topro vide for our manufactures.MACCuLLocn's Di c tionary the average offi•-•jai 4111 c of our down euur oaesn nvdx ports to Asia, between 1816 and 18 v 2.2, is e at 3,219,446/. At tha t p eri od , the offici• tu the declared value of commodities was vaervyanntecaaogrnely: equal; so that in '22 years, with all the advantages we have enumerated as to Hindostan ' sim ption of our manufactures in the the whole o Asia has not increased one-fourth. Such a fact THE SUN, LONDPN, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1842. holds out to the nation but a slender hope of any • very great extension of trade by means of the new ports which have been opened to us in China. We ascribe the slow progress made by the Asiatics in the use of our commodities, par ticularly those of Hindostan, who are so much under our control, to the poverty of the bulk of the people, to the general slavery which pre vails, and to the comparative unchangeableness of their habits. Although the United States scarcely contain one-sixth of the population of our empire in India, the average declared value of our exports to that country during the ten years ending with. 1840,, hampered as that trade has been, was 7,800;00.01., proving the greater probability of extending our trade With a population of European descended men than with a population of Asiatics. That comparative statement shows also how much greater would be the benefit of free trade, which we may command by abolishing our own restrictions, than any othe trade which the direct action of statesmen may procure for the country. If the opening of four new ports in China be a proper occasion for public rejoicing, as we think it is, how much more ought we to rejoice if we should, by the abolition of our own bad laws, open the ports of the world? We are not inclined to undervalue the new opening which the success of our arms has ob tained for us, and delight to see the proof it affords of the high value which the public, in spite of Tory jeremiades, still, anti we hope for ever will, affix on trade. At the same time it is good, even in the midst of success, to remember moderation ; and we have rather leaned to an untitvourable view to guard the public against unfounded hopes and rash speculations. ADELPHI THEATRE. A pleasant two act comedy, from the pen of our old friend Beazley, entitled, You Know What, was produced at this theatre last evening, with the most unequivocal success. The fun of the piece turns upon the embarassments of a certain Mr. Larkspur (Mr. Wright), the guardian of a young lady, whose hand is sought at the same time by his uncle, General Larkspur (Mr. 0. Smith), and a Mr. Belmont (Mr. Maynard), whose pretensions are favoured by Mrs. Larkspur. Now, ill-. Larkspur had, sometime pre viously, written an amorous epistle to this young lady, requesting an assignation, which letter she had handed to his wife, who, accordingly her Self, went and kept the appointment; and having given him a bow of riband as a souvenir, had succeeded in leaving the place of assignation Without his discerning who she was. Of course, when it suits her purpose, she finds the bow inclosed in a billet, and accuses him of infi delity. He flies to General Larkspur, tells him of the quandary he is in, without, however, naming the lady, and i n d uces th e G enera l to tell ifrs. Larkspur that the souvenir had been given to him (the Gene ral) and not to her husband ; and, in return, the General demands his consent to propose for Maria, or he will tell " You know what." Mrs. Larkspur then states that Maria had informed her of the recept of an anonymous epistle, requesting an assignation, and that she had sent her maid Ferret to the place appointed, who had returned, saying that the gentleman had not thought proper to keep his ap pointment. At the same time she instructs Ferret to tell Larkspur that unless he gives his consent to the marriage of Maria and Belmont, she will tell—" You know what ?" In this manner the fun is kept up through two short acts, when all is satisfactorily ex plained, and Belmont, of course, receives in due form Larkspur's consent to marry Maria. The dialogue is full of point, and the piece goes trippingly off, and will, doubtless, have a run. Wright, as Larkspur, was excessively droll and humorous ; there is not an actor on the stage who can delineate the fussiness of a consequential man in a quandary like Wright; every look, every gesture told. His agonies increased in intensity under every application of the " You know what ;" and as they increased, so did the laughter of the audience. Miss Murray as Ferret was curiosity personified, ever anxious to discover the mystery. She, the inflictor of the "You know what," was the only person who, at the conclusion, was left in ignorance of what the " what " was. However, as she was handsomely rewarded by Lark spur for not divulging what she did not know, she had no great reason to complain of her treatment. 0. Smith, as General Larkspur, dressed and acted the military veteran to admiration. When he first came on the stage, we were greatly struck with the resem blance he bore to the Duke of Wellington —a resem blance quite as remarkable as that of Gomersal to Napoleon, with which all play-goers were so struck a few years since at this theatre. The grand ballet of Alma, which 'has not diminished in it,s attraction, followed, and the Miser's Daughter, concluded the evening's performances. This latter superb spectacle is to be withdrawn after the present week, so that those who have not yet seen it have no time to lose. The house was crowded, as the Adelphi was always wont to be. COURT CIRCULAR. A meeting of the Cabinet Ministers wa3 held yes day afternoon at the official residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Downing-street. It was attended by Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Haddington, Earl of Ripon, Lord Fitzgerald, and Sir Henry llardinge. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, attended by the Noblemen and Gentlemen of his Suite, dined last evening with th e M em b ers o f t h e United Service Club. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Cambridge, Prince George of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke ofMecklenburgh Strelitz also honoured the Club with their company. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl of Haddington, and Sir Robert Peel were among the guests to meet the Illustrious Visitors. Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, Sir George Cock burn, Sir Charles Rowley, and. Sir Charles Colville ; Generals Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir Andrew Barnard, Sir John Macdonald, and Macdonell ; Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Sir George Seymour, Sir William Gossett, Baron de Nieumann, the Austrian Minister, Baron Koller, Baron Lebzeltern, and Colonel Keate, were among the company present. Dr. Todd had an interview with the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. The Judicial Committee of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council held a meeting yesterday in the Council Chamber. The Lords present were, the Bishop of London, Lord Campbell, the Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce, and Dr. Lushington, Judge of the Admiralty Court. An appeal from the Arches' Court of Canterbury, " The Rev. Henry Erskine Head, Clerk, Rector of the Rectory and parish church of Feniton, Devon, v. Ralph Sanders, of the city of Exeter, Gentleman, promoting the office of the Judge," came on for hearing. The Queen's Advocate was heard for the appel lant. The appellant had been cited in the Arches' Court, for,writing and publishing a certain letter in the Western Times, on the 21st day of August, 1841, the said letter being headed " A View of the Dupli city of the Present System of Episcopal Ministration, in a Letter Addressed to the Parishioners of Feni ton, Devon, occasioned by the Bishop of Exeter's Circular on Confirmation, by Henry Erskine Head, Rector of Feniton, Devon." Mr. Cockburn, Queen's Counsel, followed on the same side. Dr. Addams was heard for the respondent. Their Lordships, at the conclusion of the case, de. ferred giving judgment. An appeal, from the Vice-Admiralty Court, at Sierra Leone, " Logan v. the Queen," relative to the brig, or vessel, Guiana, was opened by Dr. Addams. Mr. Burge, Queen's Counsel, was heard for the respondent. The ease was adjourned. We perceive that a new article of commerce has been introduced by the tariff. Nitron from Egypt, the duty on which amounted to a prohibition, is now advertised for sale by. auction. It will most probably interfere with the manufacture of soda.—Liverpool Albion. KIDDERMINSTER, Nov. 25.—Great excitement has prevailed in this borough, in consequence of the great and increasing rate (poor). The tradesmen of Kid derminster have suffered long and patiently under their difficulties ; but when the overseers announced to the town that 2s. in the pound was required they determined to call a public meeting of the rate payers, to know what was the cause of the increase. A meeting was held this day at the Lion Hotel, to take the same into consideration, and a Committee was appointed to examine the overseer's ac count. When it is known that one firm in the town will pay this rate only, the sum of 1201. and up wards, it is high-time to inquire into the case. It was the largest meeting of rate-payers the town ever saw. Among the items we have to pay out of the poor-rate is the sum of 301. for fire-arms, ordered by Sir James Graham during the outbreaks in the Potteries. THE INDIA, MAILS.—The next mails to Gibraltar, Malta, the lonian Islands, Egypt, and India, via Fal mouth, by the Great Liverpool steamer, will be made up to-morrow, the 30th inst., and the overland mail to Egypt and India, via Marseilles, on Monday next, the sth of December; the West Indies, Mexico, &c. , on Thursday next, the I s t o f D ecem b er ; t h e United States of America and Upper and Lower Canada on Saturday next, the 3d of December, by the Britannia steamer, via Liverpool ; Madeira, l3razils, and Buenos Ayres, on Tuesday next, the Gth of December, by her Majesty's brig Linnet, via Falmouth. CHESTERFIELD versus BATHYANY. (From the Age.) We requested on Sunday last the indulgence of our readers until this day, when we promised to submit to them authentic particulars of this peculiar case. We now redeem that promise, The observations which have been made by the Times, the Morning Herald, and the Age, have elicited from the Morning Post, a defence of Lord Chesterfield more remarkable for its gentlemanly tone, than for its discretion. We feel as perfectly certain that the writer of this defence believes every syllable he has stated, as we do that a portion of it is not entitled to' belief—and our objection therefore will be solely directed to a refutation of that part of it which we know to be unfounded on fact. When we find it asserted, evidently by a partisan of the Earl of Chesterfield, that he was repeatedly "importuned" by the Count Bathyany to become a trustee to this set tlement of 3001. per annum on the Count's mis tress, we are bound to enter upon the subject even more minutely than we intended to do, that we may not only rebut a statement so utterly incorrect, but place the clear truth before those at all interested in the business. The courtezan in question, better known to the gay circles of London as Nelly Holmes than Eleanor Suter, was at the time of her introduction to Count Bathyany, living under the protection of Lord Maid stone ; a connection with which his noble father the Earl of Winchilsea expressed his utmost displeasure —and Lord Maidstone, under this influence, trans ferred the said lady into the Count's custody, the Count being willing to take her. At the commence ment of their liaison, when the Count's hat and other matters of clothing were duly hung up in Bolton-row, he paid a mass of debt amounting to 1,5001. or 1,6001. —incurred while she was under the protection of ANOTHER !ipresented her also with a carriage, and certain matters of jewellery. Having then intimated to the Count that she was without any fixed income, he generously consented to the settlement now in dis pute. To the payment of this annual stipend there never would hale been a question raised but for sub sequent circumstances, to which it is imperative on us to 'refer. Immediately after the completion of the legal in strument granting this allowance, Count Bathyany went to Paris for a short visit; which he is annually in the habit of paying • and had been there but a few days, when he received a letter from the lady com plaining of his absence, stating her determination not to live without person a l protection, and hinting al her disposition to return to Lord Maidstone, if he remained any longer abroad. This letter was instantly followed by another, stating that she had finally made up her mind, was, in fact, once again under the Noble Viscount's patronage, and forbidding the Count to enter her dwelling again. Count Bathyany returned to town to ascertain—no matter of difficulty—the truth of all this, and to submit with as much patience as possible to his fate. He would then have been perfectly content to put up with his loss, both in point of feeling and fortune, if it had not been for the heartless conduct of the woman and those she was mixed up with in their subsequent proceed ings. The Count became the object of their perpetual ridicule—he was classed by them under the refined designation of "a flat," and looked upon as one whom it was their pleasure and pastime to cajole, and one whom it was a very easy thing ,to humbug. On the part of the woman herself, it is impossible to use lan guage that can too forcibly designate her very bad conduct ; and as respects the parties . who abetted her in it, they have a c t e d equally ungentlemanly, un friendly, and in violation of all the received principles of society. Count Bathyany is a nobleman of very high family, and does the English _metropolis the honour of selecting it as the place he prefers to all others, for the expenditure of his princely income. His hospitality is extended to all whom he has the pleasure of knowing—he is liked by all who:prize good manners, good-heartedness, generosity, and high in tegrity ; and these qualifications should protect him from the chicanery of the world (or at all events of those he knows in it), rather than involve him in it. When the bond in question was agreed to, a stipu lation was made for the introduction of a clause. to the effect, that neither Lord Chesterfield nor his brOther in-law, Mr. Forrester, should be placed in a position to enter into litigation with one who was their parti cular friend—and that their power, as trustees, shOuld be one of mediation, not of coercion. In absolute vio lation of this understanding, the day after the first instalment of the annuity under the bond was'due--- (Count Bathyany having signified his determination to resist its payment)—a writ was issued again him, at the suit of the said trustees, without the slightest no tice being given him. Without a feeling of irritation, Count Bathyany told Lord Chesterfield that if the exposure which would necessarily follow his re sistance to this payment would be at all unpleasant to the family of the Noble Lord, or to himself, he rn sit a i n d: i - n g a i t y t e er h i e la r vi t n h g e would che er f u ll y resc i n d his resolution, and, invete ra te that the, as he felt a ga i ns t th e wo r. Lord Clip' iterfield treated tshuims offer r had a v c a o l i i i e tr ri a 3 c , contracted, d fo been placed in the hands of the lawyer, it had better take its course. Notwithstanding: their non-accept ance of a very kind offer, Count Bathyany . as deter mined to leave no stone unturnecrto carry 'it into effect, and solicited the interference of Lord Rosalyn pledging himself to carry out any ar rangemen t hi s Lordship might enter into with the trustees. Lord Rosslyn went to Chesterfield House to accomplish this object, when Lord Chesterfield declined to see him, but sent out to him young Forrester, of the Guards (another of his brothers-in-law) * * * * to hear anything he had to say—and upon receiving so marked a slight, Lord Rosslyn left the house, and threw up the office of mediator. Foiled in this, Count Bathyany made an offer through his counsel, au derider moment, to refer the matter to any legal authority, not inte rested in the matter—which gentlemanly propose was, after some deliberation, declined. The matter, in consequence of this mismanage ment, has become one of notoriety, arising out of the legal proceedings which Nelly Holmes's noble trus tees have instituted; and in referring to the exposi• tion, we are willing to believe that Lord Chesterfield assented, in the first instance, to his nomination of of good nature he is at a tr il us t t i e m e, es fro r m ead t y hat feeling to indulge in ; but we view his subsequent conduct in a very different light. With a perfect knowledge of his co-trustee being his lady's own brother * * * *. he should have had more respect for the feelings of his Countess, one of the most charming women living, than to sacrifice them for anv consideration of a common profligate —he should, in fae 7 , have made every effort, instead of none, to keep so discreditable a matter strictly private—and that he has not so done, is a matter to us of very great regret. But blameable as we really feel the Noble Lord's con duct to be, it is lightly so indeed, compare d w i t h th a t o f Mr. Charles Forrester * * * or, to that of Lord Maidstone, who unconcernedly hands o v er his mis tress to his friend, knows that hi s f r i en d h as pa id h er * debts, incurred while she was under his Lordship's pro tection! urges her on to obtain this settlement, and ' when she has obtained it, takes her back again, on her separation from the man she has so injured. In thus, therefore, reprobating the proceedings of the parties herein referred to, we cannot but uphold those of Count Bathyany, who has been victimised in the whole business. We decline at present agitat ing the question attempted to be entertained of a mar riage which was sought to be effected—there may be an occasion when it will be necessary to refer to it ; hut without entering thereon, we cannot sufficiently condemn the conduct which ha, been adopted towards Count Bathyany, nor sufficiently eulogise the gene rous and feeling manner in which the Count has acted throughout. * * Since the above was written, we find that Nelly's solicitors have been' instructed to withdraw the recoxd, and thus the matter falls to the ground. A more complete vindication of Count Bathyanv's bearing in the whole business could not possibly be effected; but a question will naturally arise, if this measure has been adopted at the eleventh hour, why was it resisted at the first t We su! , join the copy of a letter which has been addressed to the Count's soli citors by those of the plaintiff, simply observing that, as the deed expressly states Lord Ch es t er fi e ld i s no t " compellable,' the termination of the letter is a mere subterfuge : " 24th November, 1842.

PEEL'S Administration. The Tower guns have been fired by its orders; bells' have been rung the animation, or perhaps we may say the intoxication of unex pected good fortune, has infected the public, and there has been a general clearing up of clouded countenances, and a general exhiliration on public 'changes and commercial marts, such as have not been known for years. Reports already prevail that the army is to be somewhat reduced; taxes, it is clear, may be remitted, as the war in Affghanistan is at an end, as the whole ex pense of the Chinese war, for which they were levied, has been reimhursed, and a large sum paid into the Treasury ; the people may be soothed, and the lucky Administration, which boasts of its strength, may possibly beCome po pular. Nevertheless, we adhere to our opinion, that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government is a failure, and that, though equally lucky - and strong, it must give up the policy it was established to carry through. In the Times of yesterday appeared a letter, duly leaded, signed " Conservator,", dated Man chester, and calling on our Contemporary boldly to advocate a moderate fixed duty on corn, as suring him that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S late measure has only whetted the appetite for further changes; that every Conservative in Lancashire, and perhaps in the country at large, is for a moderate fixed duty, and implying that nothing else can serve or save the nation. But Sir Ro- BERT PEEL was forced into office far more on account of our domestic distresses, than our foreign relations, and it was to cure them that he took his great fee. On being placed in office, he cast aside,- as a useless nostrum, the Whig recipe of a fixed duty ; but he adopted and re commended the sliding scale, and a high rate of agricultural protection, and his prescrip tion has made matters much worse than be fore. Now friends and foes, Conservatives and Whigs, join in declaring that he has mis taken the disease, and that a moderate fixed duty is the true panacea. In spite, therefore, of an unexpected good harvest, and in spite of unex pected successes abroad, the main shaft of Sir R. PEEL'S policy is broken in twain, and he must have a new one, or the machine will soon come to a still stand. The distress of the people renders vain all his schemes. " The Anti-Corn-law League," says "Conservator," " are only powerful as long as the manufacturing population are distressed." That is the fulcrum, working on which the lever of agitation will tumble down PEEL'S Administra- don, unless PEEL changes his policy.. He • must satisfy the manufacturers ; the bulk of the people must have employment and reasonable wages; and if these things be not accomplished, as they cannot possibly be, either by a sliding scale or a fixed duty, he must come to a perfectly free trade. On any other principle he will make the Government responsible for all the wants of the manufacturers and the merchants; for all the uncertainty and sufferings of the farmers; and for all the distresses of the people. Such a re sponsibility, now that the pretensions of Sir H. PEEL to cure all national diseases have fixed the attention of the public on him, and justified all the demands it can make for ease and health, will speedily convince him that he has no other alternative than to set trade entirely free, shake, from the Government the awful responsibility he has assumed, and tell manufacturers, merchants, farmers, artisans, and labourers, to provide for themselves. The history of those remarkable proceedings which led to the suit of CHESTERFIELD v. THYANY, copied from a weekly paper, will be found in anotherpart of The Sun. The compiler of facts, if we may use such an expression in re ference to these very discreditable negotiations, has apparently taken great pains and time to as certain the truth, and certainly places the de fendant-in a very different light from that in which he had been represented by certain jour nals. We have heard from other quarters that this view of the case is correct, and that through out the' whole transaction Count BATHYANY conducted. himself in a manner so honourable, as to form a remarkable contrast to that exhibited by I►is English friends. The plaintiffs are now convinced of the fact, and in order to hush up the affair, which prudence and regard for their rank should for ever have concealed, they have withdrawn the action put down for trial in the Queen's Bench on Saturday before a Special• Jury. This is fortunate, for possibly some further details might have been furnished little creditable to the parties themselves, or the ,order to which they belong. If these, are a specimen ofour hereditary legislators, and as they are nearly related toPeers who are con,stantly bawl ing out "Church and State for ever" we may take them as a tolerably fair sample, can we wonder at the enormous extent of class legislation, or the outcry raised occasionally by the lower and middle classes against the two Houses of Parlia ment? If Peers and Peers' sons and Members of the House of Commons be parties to such acts in private life, what security is there that they will. ~ act more honourably when • they perform tlip functions of legislators ? To lay heavy taxes on others and screen themselves, to uphold an enormous Church establishment in which they have an interest, to vote pensions to their relatives 1 out of the people's money, and to make severe laws which they know cannot reach themselves in one case out of a hundred, are only matters of duty compared with those deeds which, within the last six months, have brought such merited disgrace on the higher classes. But the injury done does not only affect them. They are re garded as the leaders of fashion, as models for imitation in all the walks of life, and aspirants to rank and titles, so ihat even the plebeian multi tude are corrupted by their bad example. We would, therefore, recommend such worthies as Lords CHESTERFIELD and MAIDSTONE to the especial care of the Bishops, and chiefly to him of LONDON, who wculd find quite enough of work on his hands without lec ail ing the poor on the immorality of playing at ~ki!tl?F, or wasting his precious time i❑ counting the boats that pass by his country palace on Sundays. Madrid journals, of the 21st, have been re eAved, and are chiefly occupied with the dis turbances at Barcelona. No further accounts 'have been received from that place of the slightest importance. ESPARTERO left Madrid on the 21st, with an army of 15,000 men, to put down the insurrection. The march will occupy at least ten days, and the general belief in the capital was, that the REGENT, in order to prevent such mad outbreaks for the future, would make slme severe examples. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the election of a Deputy for the first arrondissement, which had become vacant by the appointment of General JACQUEMINOT to the command of the It cannot be denied that the Ministry is ex tremely lucky. A bounteous harvest, when least expected, promoted as much as possible Sir ROBERT PEEL'S schemes to give relief to our suffering people. The termination of the war with China, at a moment when nobody looked for it, on most advantageous terms, opening a new and a ready peopled world to our trade, and stimulating enterprise in all our ports, is another piece of good fortune. Unfortunate delays in sending the avenging army into Caubul, and a hesitating policy in the Governor-General, bad excitedipainful apprehensions. The skill of our National Guard:, he General again offers himself to the electors, and from all accounts will be the successful candidate. No less than seven are in the field, namely, the General, M. de VAUFRELAND, formerly Secretary-General at the Ministry of Justice in 1830, a Royalist; Lieut.-General Count GinAnDiN, .Royalist; M. AUGUSTE PORTAL'S, formerly Deputy for Meaux, a Liberal; M. BOINVILLIERS, an advocate, a Liberal; M. CONSIDERANT, editor of the Pha lange; and M. FOISSAC, a physician, a Liberal. A numerous meeting of the electors was held in the Rue Duphot on Sunday, when some amusing speeches were made. Most of the speakers de nounced England and her protegee, M. GUIZOT. All the English, said one, were not at the other side of the Channel, a remark which excited shouts of laughter; and PORTA us announced his political creed in the following words. " I op pose the present Ministry not because M. GUIZOT, the directing genius of the Cabinet, was at Ghent —not because he was the editor of the Glient Moniteur—not because he was the Secretary of the Abbe MoyrEsoutou, but because he was Ambassador in London, where he betrayed his Government.—(Cries of Bravo, bravo!' for some minutes.) I oppose the Ministry because it is in office, thanks to English influence. I oppose it because it is sustained by British influence.— (' Bravo, bravo !')" The supporters of General JACQUEMINOT, though not so violent, still direct. their attacks against England, and appear only to wait for a misunderstanding among the Powers of Europe to make France what she ought to be—the ar biter of nations. England is a dreadful bug bear to these gentlemen, and seems con stantly to haunt ,their imaginations. "Every prudent and sincere person," says M. ADAM, in a published address, " admits that the consequences of our late wars and revo lutions have placed us in a situation, with respect to the rest of Europe, full of difficulties. These are the legacy of a past marked by reverses. Let us make allowances for a Government so situated. France resembles a great lord, who has embar rassed his fortune by the extravagance of his youth, and would reconstruct it by prudence and economy. Let us support this prudent and l'easonable policy, and let us not be carried away by the adventurous illusions of revolutionary policy. When Europe, restored to confidence by our calm, shall have ceased to remain united in mistrust of us—when the great Powers of Europe shall have recurred to their old quarrels —when England and Russia shall fall to logger heads about Persia and Asia, and Austria struggle for the mouths of the Danube, then France, becoming their natural arbiter, may re sume the rank which her children would like to see !her take, and which must be the result of time and patience." We should be delighted to see Europe restored to confidence by the calm of France, but fearthat day is far distant. The following telegraphic dispatch was received by the French Government on the evening of Saturday " MADRID, Nov. 21. The Regent left this morning at two o'clock Madrid is tranquil."

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND ttbitt ‘Z.latittoit, " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Paris papers contain no news, if we except the - excitement caused by the election of a Dep ut y for the first district of the city, and the violent speecheg: made on the occasion, which spare neither the Eng lish, nor M. Guizot, nor the King himself. Nothing can be done in France without reference to Englank Even the election of a church beadle would furnish topics for abusing " perfide Albion."

The steamer Phenicien arrived from Cadiz at Mar seilles on the 23d inst.

The Post thus alludes to the announced retiremell, of the British troops from Affghanistan :-••••-" The re;''' cent news from Affghanistan of the complete succesg" of the armies which had been ordered to advance upor.!7.e Ghuznee and Caubul, was most gra tifying to us , and not the less so, that it was f a r better news than we expected to receive from that quarter. We are bound in candour to confess that it did not seem to us jog' , bable that our troops could have advanced so rapidly. and so triumphantly, nor that Akbar Kh an would have left it in our power to profit by the re -taking ~ Caubul to the extent of recovering the whom he held in his possession. Even now, while fit and skilful officers have achieved e soldiers we rejoice at the successes which our brave prisoners, .411 we are think that had the same union existed among the Oa glean military tribes, which enabled them to harass i y . sce ecee s destroy our troops in the winter, we s hould have accomplished so much, and with so little loss, appears by the. late accounts to have been accom plished.
