" Our sporting readers will welcome with delight this new production of the popular Author of The Chase, The Turf, and The Road.' In these Volumes the famous ' Nimrod,' from whose sporting dicta there. is no appeal, carries the rvader with him to enjoy every species of sport which the wide world affords—from the Royal Stag Hunt of Chantilly, the Baronial Bear Hvnt of the Blank Forest, the Bear Tracking of Russia, the Wolf Hunting, and Deer St-lking of Canada, the Tiger Hunting, and Hawking of India—up to this whole of these, and half-a-dozen more united in the Great Russian battue— hosides many other sports and places too numerous to mention. The truth is that we have seldom seen Mr. Apperley more at home, or to better purpose, than in these volumes, while par taking of the princely hospitalities of the late Duke of Orleans, or the Prince of Moskvra, or of a score of other sporting noble men in all Farts of the civilized world. In fact his sketches, not merely of the sporting pretensions and practices of the French, Belgian, German, Russian, and other nobles, but of their personal characters, habits, and modes of I:fe, are as novel and entertaining as they are instructive and useful in more than one point of iew."—New.

Certain parties not only exclaimed against the injustice of the war, but foretold th-at the Chinese would' never yield, that their resources .were equal to their obstinacy, and that in a few years we should be involved in a ruinous and hopeless contest. Had the voice of these pro phets been listened to, the British name would have become a bye-word and a reproach in the East, our trade would have been more crippled than ever, and, by submitting patiently to insult and robbery, we should have provoked only fur ther loss and disgrace. We congratulate, there fore, Lord PALMERSTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL on the true national spirit which both displayed, and on the bright prospects this treaty opens up not only to Englishmen, but to the Chinese themselves. Is is for the present Government now to do its duty, by encouraging commerce in that quarter, and also, by employing the spare forces in China, to settle with equal success our relations with the nations on the banks of the Indus. The whole of that splendid river must be thrown open to English enterprise, forts should be established in fit places to over awe the Affghans, steam-boats supplied for navi gating the river into the heart of the country, and a strong barrier erected on the west of our Indian possessions, which may defy any enemy whatever. We also expect another result. We shall see in a short time waggon loads of Sycee silver, in long trains, moving- in the direction of the Mint, which will ultimately find its way into the Treasury, and thereby enable the Premier to modify or abolish altogether that cause of universal com plaint—the Income-tax. The sum of twenty one millions of dollars, or five millions sterling, in the shape of tribute, from the proudest nation on earth, is a rare sight for a Prime Minister, and we hope he will make good use of the god send. INSURRECTION AT B A RCELONA. The Monitevr Universal of Saturday publishes the following important news, announcing an outbreak at Barcelona : "On the evening of the 13th, thirty workmen at tempted to introduce through one of the gates some casks of wine without payment of duty. The popu lace took part with them, the guard was disarmed, and a soldier was killed. Reinforcements having ar rived, twelve persons were arrested. The editor of the Republican was thrown into prison. On the 14th the workmen quitted their work, and paraded through the city (10,000 of them belong to the National Guard). At five o'clock in the evening the approaches to the Town-hall were guarded by the National Guards, who refused to allow the regular troops to replace them. A regiment of the line was drawn up in order of battle on the Rambla with six pieces of cannon. All the troops were under arms. A collision was ex pected. An officer had a musket pointed at him by one of the National Guards. " On the 16th no carriages or travellers arrived at Figueras from Barcelona. The gates were closed. The cavalry and infantry in garrison at La Jonquiera had left for Barcelona ; orderly soldiers were con stantly moving between Barcelona and Figueras with dispatches. " A person who left Mataro on the morning of the 16th reported that at Figueras no news had arrived from Barcelona, where the gates were closed. At Mataro the noise of cannonading was heard." Our letters from Paris of Saturday afternoon announce that the French Government was in receipt of telegraphic dispatches from Perpignan, where advices have been received from Barcelona one day later than the above account. Martial law was proclaimed on the 15th in Barcelona, and from the firing, which was heard at a great distance, it was presumed that a serious conflict was going on, although no official infor mation had reached the Spanish Consul, at Per i pignan. ZURBANO was last at Gerona, and was expected to march to the assistance of the Captain-General, VAN IIALEN. From the excess of satisfaction displayed, say our Paris advices, by the partisans of Queen CHRISTINA, it was guessed that they were no strangers to the Barcelona disturbances; the Re publicans of that town having, it is known, long been urged to acts of violence against ESPAR TERO'S Regency. The regular advices from Barcelona are only of the 12th, and at that time, it appears, that Don FRANCISCO'S party was very popular with the Propagandists. Saturday's Moniteur has also a telegraphic dis patclr from_Bayonne r stating that the Spanish Cortes was opened on the 14th, and that the RE GENT was not present, an announcement pub lished in our columns of Saturday. Since writing the above we have received the following by extraordinary express : " PERPIGNAN, Nov. 19. " A letter from Barcelona, from a cavalry officer, arrived on the 18th, by ordonnance to La Jonquiera, says, After a sanguinary combat we have been obliged to evacuate the town. The inhabitants seized the artillery. We bivouac for the first two days at the foot of the ramparts ; the Angel-gate was the first carried by the National Guard. Women were armed with lances. Detachments of troops of the line still occupy the Atarazanas Montjinet, the port. It is rumoured that the insurrection has reached Solsona and Lerida. " HIGH w ATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. verning lO minutes after 4 'Evening 31 minutes after 4, DEFEAT OP THE RODIL CABINET BY THE PARLIAMENTARY COALITION. The Message?• has also the following " MADRID, NOV. 15. " Senor OLOZAGA has been named President o f the I - louse of Congress by a majority of 82 against 41, obtained by Senor AcuNA, the former President, who was proposed by the Ministerial party. Senor CORTINA was nominated Vice- President by SO votes." THE SUN, LONDON ) TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 22, 184 under great excitement, they returned to town to aug ment their force, which having done, they proceeded once more to tha scene of action. The people were now pressing oa them, and one of them unfortunately threw a stone at the Fake, when they immediately turned round and filed on them, when one man, whose name we were sot able to learn, was shot dead, and three others wounded. We give the above hur ried particulars as thel have been just communicated to us. The Irish have never been very remarkable for alacrity in submitting to the fleecing process of the rate and the tax gatherer. We are not much surprised at their aversion to these functionaries. As all power, rights, and privileges, came to be commuted for money, tax-gatherers of various kinds became the principal instruments fur exer cising the power of the ruling classes over the Irish. The whole system of government was tounded on oppression, which gradually took, in the process of commutation, the aspect of sordid extortion. The Irish have battled successfully against Church cess and tithes; they have some times successfully withheld rent, and may there fore be considered as accustomed and privileged to resist any new rates they may dislike. These features in the history of Ireland, and in the Irish character, should have been taken into con sideration when the Legislature passed a Poor law for that country, and before it listened to the promptings of humanity, it should have con sidered whether, in attempting to carry them into . execution, more mischief than good might not ensue. If it took so much care, it appears that. the proneness of the Irish•to resist taxation was overlooked; and hence a law, kindly intended, seems very likely to.associate charity with homi cide, and make a feasible municipal regulation an object of general hatred. That a law have a humane object is not suffi cient to recommend it to adoption. It ought to be agreeable to a people, and to comport with their habits and manners. The Poor-law for Ireland sinned against the last principle. The Irish had never been accustomed to feed the poor by parish rates, and they hated rates, - cesses, and taxes. It is now a question, therefore, whether the law can be carried into execution, or whether it must be altered, amended, or repealed, to the discredit and disgrace of the Legislature. / All those who make or propose laws seem to us to suppose that the operation of a law is li mited to the particular. object to which it is di rected; when every law, in truth, affects a great many interests beyond,its intent and meaning. The Poor-law tbr Ireland is a case in point. Those who made it thought only of providing for the relief of the poor; but it is now plain that it affects the habits, manners, and morals of the bulk of the rate-payers. It tends to exasperate them, to make them savage, as it were ; to make them hate the law and those who administer it and to produce the very evils which the Legisla ture wished to prevent—disorder, riot, and bloodshed. So, in making the Corn-laws their authors thought only of increasing rent and increasing agricultural produce; but those laws, though called Corn-laws, and therefore supposed to be limited in their effects to corn, really and truly influence most injuriously all the mutual relations of the different classes of our own country, and the relations of England with all the trading countries of the globe. They disturb amazingly the regular diffusion and supply of the precious metals throughout the trading world, and so af fect everywhere prices and property. They make employers and capitalists the agents for collect ing the landlords' tax; and so they set strife, divi sion, and hatred, betwixt members of the com munity, who are as necessary to one another's mutual success and mutual happiness, as are the separate parts of a steam-engine to its perfect motion. But we must have written a great many articles in vain, and a great many speeches at the rooms of the Anti-Corn-law League and other places will have been made in vain, if our readers are not well aware of the fact th a t these laws, thou g h nomi nally confined to corn, extend their p ern i c i ous effects thro ug h e very class of th e commun i ty, and to many other communities. All laws, whatever may be their name, and however limited their supposed operation, affect the whole community, and hence when f ac t or y girls, bakers' apprentices, meddlers with colli ers , cork-cutters, paper-stai ners, & c., &c., procure enactments for the regulation of some special trade, they, without dreaming, poor innocents, of the vast extent of their meddlin g , ma k e l aws f or the whole e mpire, th e f u ll and complete effects of which no man can calculate. All our op ponents recognise this very important principle when we ask to have trade set free. " You can not tell (they reply) what will be the effects of abolishing a restrictive law ? You know not how much land you will put out of cultivation, how much you will lower rent, how completely you will paralyse the home trade, or to what extent you will deprive the labourer of employment, and points True, we do not know these the misfortune is, that e exactly, ac society t,, b no such misgiving, no such modesty, ever comes over those who propose to make new laws, as the crowded statute-book and the present ham. pered state of the country testify. Better late than never. The Scottish Re formers are at length about to have that justice done to their memory which should have been done years ago —say, when the Reform Bill was passed into law. At a meeting of the Maryle bone Vestry, which took place on Saturday last, it was decided by a majority of thirty-three, that a column in honou r o f t h ose martyre d patr i ots, should forthwith b e erected in the Regent circus. Thus th en however late, bietiCe and triumphed over prejudice good feeling have, and bigotry arc the claims on public gratitude of sworn opponents of the PITT system of Ter rorism and political espionage, are formally and deliberately recognized by a large and influential body of their fellow -citizens. Fifteen years ago, • when Toryism—wholly unsuspicious of its fast approaching fall —was exulting in the full con sciousness of Power; when an Lwow( kept the Rcyal conscience, and a SIDMOVTI-i—the man who publicly and officially thanked the Lanca shire yeomanry for the Peterloo job—wits Home Secretary ; when a P E EL protested that, if lie knew himself tiOitly i he did hot think the day vt'otitti ktflkie when he could possibly be guilty of an act of justice to the Catholics, and a majority of the House a CdtiiiiidtlA applauded the magnanitnott§ sentiment this period of gloom and distotli*eWnt to the ilatiSeofßeforrn, if aMall had predicted that the time would shortly arrive when the Radical principles of the Scottish patriots should not Only bu lOoked oil without a shudder, cis being atheistical and re volutionary, by the eeBpettabld middle Classes of the tnetropolk, but &eh be Saiittioned iiy ail influentialportion of them ) and honoured with a lasting testimony of their approbation by a column in the :ft-orit-cii , Hs) to the Memory of th° 6ll them in the days of Tory per ;_if, we say, at such a bigoted period, a man had hazarded a prediction like this, he would have been looked on as a decided madman, and subjected most probably to the tender mer cies of a commission " Be Lunatico Inquirendo."

The salvation of souls is not the ob ject; for if money is of any value in that respect, or has the least efficacy in instructing and hu manizing the lower classes, England would be a paradiseon earth, and every peasant a moral and educated being. We have often asserted that the English Church is the richest in the world; yet, with all her wealth, one half of the unfortunate people tried for crimes can neither write nor read. Many of them can repeat the LORD'S Prayer and the Catechism, if allowed a re-hcarsal, but as to any knowledge of the great truths of Christianity, or the blessings of a vir tuous life, they are as ignorant as the beasts that perish. Whom, therefore, will this Church Extension scheme serve? The Bishops and their friends. And what is the character of these Bishops? What have' they done for the improvement of mankind, for the reform of abuses, for the spread of the Gospel, for the cause of humanity ? We do not attack individuals, for some of them are excellent and able men ; but we blame the system which yokes those who should be the pastors, the p►otectors, and the consolers of the people, with a set of political ad-, venturers looking only to wealth and aggran disement.. What good measure has the Bench of Bishops yet patronised? Did • they not, to the last, resist WILBERFORCE in his humane plans for abolishing the slave - trade? Did they not resist the diffusion of religious knowledge till the Dis senters shamed them into acquiescence ? Did they not, with other Tories, resist the diminution of capital punishments till Romutx, and BROUGHAM, and JEFFREY, painted the atro cities of our criminal code in such a light, that the most blood-thirsty Home Secretary had no other alternative but to yield? Did they not re sist the Retbrm Bill—the darling object of a greater mass of the community than ever agreed on any one 'measure—and at last submit - with others only when they feared some greater evil, but in reality some greater good ? Have they not resisted every rational scheme for general eduction, and convinced the world that what ever may be their professions, they are the stop gap in the moral progress of society, and are placed on the Bench by the inscrutable de crees of Providence, rather to retard than to edvance the object for which they were appointed ? Yet they, and the party to which they belong, are asking for more patronage and more power, and will use them, as they have have hitherto done, in attempting to control and check the growing desire for - useful knowledge. The wealth of this State Church, which is con stantly crying for more, is well known ; but the enormous value of its patronage is comparatively hid in darkness. The Archbishop of CANTER - BURY alone has 162 livings in his gift, which, reckoning them at the annual value of 3501., a very moderate estimate, produce 56,0001. a-yet,r. This is independent of the pa tronage of stalls, prebends, precentors, and all the other offices continued from the Catholic Church. It is, independent of a salary of ; 20,0001. a-year, and confers no small power on one humble individual, and also contributes not a little to his w ea lth. We have never heard that these appointments were sold for money, but it is well-known that they are bestowed on sons-in-law, nephews, and cousins; and can be disposed of; too, in a variety of ways for equiva lents. The. total number. of Church livings in the gift of the Episcopal Bench amounts to about 3,000, independent of the Cathedral patronage, producing an annual revenue of more than one million sterling. No other twenty-six men in the country have power equal to this; and will the State increase this enormous patronage, by voting large sums for' more Church ?" undertake. She was to say that M. Guizot could not decently refuse to ratify a treaty which he had signed. Every thing that could impede the negotiation, and render it more difficult agd thorny, was put in move ment. The Opposition hoped for a different termina tion, and expected it. It wanted, in fact, the ratifi cation of the treaty, and the overthrow of the Ministry. M. Guizot has doubly disappointed their predictions, and this is the cause of their present ill-humour. Indeed, it is evident there is nothing but an impeachment which, in their opinion, can do justice upon the Minister who has not ratified the treaty of 1841." The Courrier Francais thus displays its ill humour against the Ministry, for breaking off the treaty, and at the same time retaining their seats in the Cabinet. It does not omit at the same time to abuse the English, whom we believe they would still abuse if every point of honour and advantage were yielded to France:— " M. Guizot has struggled with all the strength of his talent and his influence to induce the Chambers to adopt the treaty of December 20, 1841 ' he has con teoded that the engagement which he had contracted was an engagement of honour for France. This was doubtless an error ; but what is undoubtedly true is that he was himself engaged as seriously as a Minister could be, not only by the formal placing of his sig nature by the side of the four other Powers ; hut by the deep conviction so loudly proclaimed that he was engaged so to do. He has not, therefore, the resource of declaring that his convictions on the subject are changed. he withdraws his signature, he abandons a convention which he had sought to bring about, which he regarded as a serious engagement, a thing at once useful and honourable. After having re ceived one slap in the face at the Palais Bourbon, he i going to seek another at the Foreign-office. All this embarrassment would have ceased, all this humi liation would have disappeared, all would have be come easy and natural, if the Minister, after the refusal of the Chamber to ratify the treaty, had given in his resignation, and left to other hands the care of terminating a negotiation to which he alone was hound. More than one of his predecessors have re tired from office on less serious grounds. " The obstinacy of M. Guizot on this subject does not compromise himself alone; it compromises the whole Cabinet, for in an affair of this importance the responsibility must rest on all; and it also compro mises to a certain extent the Government, which does not make use of its prerogative in circumstances where it appeared necessary; and it would compro mise the nation itself, if any attention were paid to the words of the Minister in imputing to disloyalty the refusal of a ratification which it would not give. If the importance of this affair did not sufficiently indi cate the right of the French nation, we should have been sufficiently warned of it by the disdain with which certain portions of the English press now affect to speak of the right of search. After having endeavoured for the last quarter of a century to com bine in it all the European maritime Powers, they now call the Quintuple Treaty a little convention. Their badly concealed anger, however, reveals the secret de - signs of England, and the vast consequences which her ambition hoped to draw from the clauses of the treaty." The same journal slates that overtures were made by the Cabinet of Washington to Great Britain and France, in order to place Texas under the protection of the Three Powers in case of an invasion from Mexico, and adds that "M. GUIZOT received this suggestion favourably, but that Lord ABERDEEN gave it a decided refusal. The interest which Great Britain professes fbr Mexico may be explained by her desire to gain possession of California. But we cannot conceive We have accounts from Lisbon by the Liver pool steamer to the 14th instant. The tariff question remained in the same state, but it was understood that some additional proposals had been made by Lord ABERDEEN for a lower duty on woollen-cloths and salt fish, which would pro bably be agreed to by the Portuguese Govern ment. The hostility to M. DIETZ, the Court favourite, still continued. The election of twenty Deputies,. to supply vacancies occasioned by double returns, was about to take place, and was anxiously awaited. Baron TOJAL had effected, it was reported, a small loan in England, t o guarantee the newly issued Exchequer bills. Accounts have been received from Spain of a serious disturbance at Barcelona on the 13th, which has been caused by political intrigues foreign or domestic, and probably by both. Queen CHRISTINA. does not remain at Paris without an object. It appears that an attempt was made by some workmen to introduce several casks of wine without paying duty, a pretence evidently for exciting a tumult; the people in great numbers joined them, and the guard was disarmed. Next day the workmen filled the streets, and at five in the afternoon the National Guards occupied all the avenues to the Town Hall, refusing to surrender their posts to the troops of the line. On the 18th a san. guinary battle took place, when the troops were worsted, and forced to evacate the city. Accord ing to the latest accounts they were bivouacked outside the ramparts, and waiting for reinforce. ments. Senor OLOZAGA had been chosen President of the Cortes, and CORTINA Vice-President. Nearly all the Paris journals have articles re specting the closing of the Anti-Slave Trade Treaty of 1841. That treaty is now cancelled as regards France, and the four other Powers seeing no hopes of bringing the affair to a satisfactory con clusion with the French Government, have re solved that the treaty shall be preserved by them to the full extent. On this subject the lliessager has the following paragraph :--a The Government of the KING having declared that it believed it could neither now nor later ratify the treaty of the 20th December, 1841, the re presentatives of Austria, of Great Britain, of Prussia, and of Russia, met in conference on Wednesday, the 9th instant, decided that the protocol was closed, and that the treaty pre served, so far as these four Powers were con cerned, all its force and value." why Lord ABERDEEN'S refusal to co-operate should have prevented M. GUIZOT. The conduct of Mexico towards us has not been either so friendly nor so equitable as to entitle her to our good wishes in her invasion of Texas, whilst to abandon that Republic is to make her dependent on the United States, which it would have been good policy to avoid. The American Govern ment will certainly aid the Texians to repe SANTA ANNA'S invasion, and the consequence will be, that before many years Texas will form province of the United States, instead o remain ing an independent State, which would be more suitable to French interests." It is now understood that the long-pending claims of British merchants for aggressions -by the French at Portendic, respecting which nego tiations have been going on for eight years, are. at last brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

GUIZOT and the French Govern ment. With a hostile vote of the Chamber of Deputies, and nearly all the press against him, he had no other alternative than to yield. As, however, the most violent opponents to the treaty approved of the ,course America had adopted, we trust that France will imitate her example, and make amends for this singular ex. hibition, by keeping at least as many vessels on the African coast for the suppression of the slave trade. The following are the remarks of the journal des .Debate on the subject : " The protocol is entirely closed. The Govern ment has fulfilled the engagement which it made to the Chambers. The treaty of 1841 has not been, and is net to be, - ratified by France. Everything is at an end on that point That this should be laid hold of as a ileW Opportunity for the Opposition journals to abuse the Ministry does not surprise us. The treaty of 1841 is not ratified, but the Ministry is still in pOWer, The majority in the Chamber has gained its cause, but the Opposition have lost theirs. The proto col is closed but, thanks to the confidence which the tiPriglit and idyal intentions of the French Cabinet inspire, this act has place without hindrance. This delicate affair terminates pac ;f_esllv. Public opinion is satisfied, though the Opposition is 2,9 t for can it be supposed that, after having let the question of the right of search slumber for ten years, the Opposition would have suddenly brought it for ward in the simple interest of our commerce or the independence of our flag? We can well comprehend the ill •humour of the Opposition. For six months their tactics have been to declare that M. Guizot was deceiving the Chambers, and that he would ratifythe treaty after the closing of the session, when the Chambers should be no longer present to scare him from doing so. We believe even that once the cry arose that the ratification had taken place. However accustomed the Opposition may be to receive solemn contradictions, and however little importance they may attach to their character for veracity, much compromised as it is, the moment when a fresh denial arrives is always disagreeable. At present, therefore, where can the Opposition journals wreak their ill-humour, if not on the Ministry? As long as they could assert that M. Guizot would ratify, not withstanding his promises and engagements, it was all very well. Now that the ratification is beyond the range of possibility, they will maintain that M. Guizot personallll ought to have ratified it, and that his honour was pledged it.' If this affair has been ter minated pacifically, and to the satisfaction of the ma jority of our Chambers, it is not the fault of the Opposition that such has been the case. It did not depend on that body that the Powers did not believe their honour interested in insisting on the ratification by France.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CHINA. TREATY OF PEACE. The following important news from China was published in the French Government paper, the Messager, of Saturday evening:— " ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 5. A dispute has lately taken place whether far " A treaty of peace has been concluded be- mers should or should not have leases. It is tweea the English Plenipotentiaries and the contended on the one hand that the farme rs are Chinese Government. It is as follows : as sure of continuing in possession of their land , 1.

This agree. that the Duke of Buckingham gave a Capt. Lowndes able intellige nce now accounts for the flying permission to shoot over the farm of a Mr. Sibthorp e lam unta r i r n ii at Thornborough grounds, near Bucking post sent els in such haste to old . e Captain's sport was very successful,. and llowQuA by the EMPEROR. He saw the he took . away an immense quantity of game, princi: rapid approach of the British forces to the into- pally hares, although Mr. Fountain kept greyhound s , rior of the cou n t r y , the apathy of his people, i and had his Grace s permission to course. The trembled even even for th e safety of the capital, lant Captain carried away all he shot without so much thanking Mr. Fountain tor his or therefore, knew no time was to be lost. In all : as hospitality, probability he gave thi s venerable officer, so well ; asking him to acc ep t of a brace. A few days after, known to the En glish at Canton, full powers to ; Mr. I ountain meetin g a f ew friends at Whaddon, and,.get.ting a little "mellow," treat for peace, and put an end to the war at an • than became more corn rice Sir HENRY POTTINGER had full P ' „powers Y municative cautious, commented freely on what he cal!ed the ungentlemanly conduct of the also, and has used them to good p urpose. We ., Captain, and spoke his mind on the probable motives were blamed with some others for urging the which induced the brave soldier to leave his regi just at the time it was ordered ab roa d on act i ve Government to act with energy, and ave nge the !merit service. These remarks were conveyed to the gal lant gentleman, of course losing nothing of their pungency in the carriage. The Captain imme diately posted off to the Duke in a great rage, and insisted upon Fountain being tiivied out of his farm, engaging to find another tenant at an increased rent. The Duke of Buckingham immediately gave Foun tain notice to quit, and, in spite of the prayers and entreaties of a numerous body of friends and fellow texants, Fountain has been compelled to sell his stock,. hay, and corn, and take himself off to a more friendly neighbourhood,. and to a less tyrannical landlord. The farm on which he and his family hoped to live and thrive for many months to come, and on which he had done his duty as tenant and master to the sa tisfaction of every one, is already let to another. Mr. Fountain has a numerous family of young children thus thrown upon the world, and is a man much re spected in his parish, always employing more than his proportion of labourers. All Mr. Fountain's neigh bours express their sorrow at his leaving them, their sympathy with his present condition, and their disgust at the conduct of his persecutors. Such is the story of the Duke of Buckingham's conduct towards those farmers who dare comment on any conduct of his or of his friends. How is it possible that men can employ their property in cultivating farms from which they may be thus summarily ejected? Admitting that the story may not be strictly true, still the belief in the possibility of such an ejectment, which must generally exist, or such stories would never be coined, will operate as powerfully as an actual dismissal, and will prevent the farmers from cultivating their land. Without that se curity no agricultural societies, no scientific dis coveries, no knowledge, whether hoarded or fused by tli . lniftloltiigrs,' who ~ larc very rarely land cultivators, will 'much .iiiii)rove our agri culture. What : 4, wanted,. as . Mr. COBDEN ob served at Liverpool,. is MOl!e'l4ll;orier im the ground skilfully apvilect.: - The folfowing, passage from that gentleman's speech hearty approba tion, and we. , quote.it with thc,better grace, as it forms part of 'the , cif*. ef. .hiS speech, which our report did not coatain:— Every intelligent rgrieulturist would tell them what was wanted was a vast improvement in every direction in the goih—more draining,' better hedging, better fencing, better ploughing better sowing better everything than it was ; and if they had that done, they must have more labour to do it.—(Hear, hear). Let them look at the land between Liverpool and Manchester. Was it not most humiliating to every man engaged in manufactures, and who was obliged to force every invention, that no sooner did he leave Manchester to come on the railroad to Liverpool than right and left he witnessed a sterile proof of sluggard indolence, and waste, and extrava gance i n th e cultiva tion of the soil ? llalf the land was covered with rushes ! There stood the pools on the surface, poison.. ing the atmosphere by their exhalations ! There was no necessity for these if the land were drained. The rushes might be removed, and the soil which was now fit for herbage, might be covered with rich clover, and would give increased employment to the people, and double the wealth prod uce d f rom th e sur f ace of Lan cashire. And how was this to be accomplished ? There were two ways of governing the world; the one was by the competitive principle and the other by the co-operative principle. Well ! but he and others were forced in their manufactures. The ship builders were forced in their ship-building. The ship builders were forced to improve by the force of com petition. Why not apply the same force to the farmer ?—(Cheers.) What other means had they to do it by ? By what other means did they attempt to accomplish it ? Was it by the drivelling exhor tations they heard at the agricultural dinners ? (Laughter)—the mere bleatings and gruntings of men who told them that the sheep in America afforded sustenance for the pigs ?—:(llear, hear, and great laughter.) Was it by the drivelling exhortations of such men as these, at agricultural dinners, got up like the meetings of their poor deluded friends the ship-carpenters.--(Hear, hear)—mixing politics with farming ; was it by such means as these they would .have farming improved in this country ? Yes, it is by competition that agriculture must be improved, and to enable the farmers to com b pete with one another, and with foreigners, they must be secured in the possession of their land, against all probable contingencies, fora consider able number of years. If the landowners obsti nately refuse to make over the use of the land to the cultivators for some certain and fixed period, or grant leases, it will become the com munity, the subsistence of which depends on the due employment and improvement of the soil, to inquire into the landlords' claims, and to teach them that they hold the soil for the public benefit, and depend on the public will. The poor Scotsman seems much mortified that we did not trouble ourselves to answer its puerile arguments in tltvour of a statesman amusing himself with turning legends into doggerel verses when the country has been brought into a perilous condition by his policy. The example it quotes of Mr. CANNING does not bear on the question, for the country was not then in an alarming condition, nor did Mr. CANNING ever pretend, like the Whigs, to rely on popular favour. Those who quote Mr. CANNING as an example, would probably act on Mr. CANNING'S princi ples; but the people of England are not now to be fascinated by the mere brilliancy of any un principled adventurer. They have not, we be lieve, forgotten the taunt " the revered and rup tured OGDEN," with which that gentleman mocked at a severe calamity, and replied to ear nest complaints by a heartless sneer. If Mr. MACAULAY has taken Mr. CANNING for his model, he will make a less valuable toady than that departed gentleman to the aristocracy, and a much less formidable opponent of the people. They can spare him; let him try if the CLEVELANDS and BUCKINGHAM want him. The Scotsman, which, when it was most serviceable to the cause of the people, stood almost alone, should not, for its own honour, have reproached Tice Sun that the voice we have raised against Mr. MacA ULAY'S amuse ments was not echoed by the Press. The Scotsman does not require to learn that a newspaper may not find support, and yet may be perfectly correct. At the same time our Contemporary is either not a diligent reader of newspapers, or he supprr ss truth. Our observations on "" ''jr' MACAULAY the have been quoted by - flore than one journal-, which proves O- :, they are more echoed than the Scots m ca allows its readers to suppos e . Of 41ACAULAY we will only add that if he wish to be held in public remembrance, and obtain public support, he must do something better for the public cause then amuse himself with old and doubtful tales. If we were to criticise the Right Hon. Gentleman's perform ance we should be as worthlessly employed as he b s ltandesrtohis awriesefulilt ewfouvledrybeeienaysytopicraotNituatshaotf perfectly modern ideas and dmo ern knowledge ancient events, and that his notion of poetical truth as something opposite to and distinct from historical truth, is far more worthy of a rhymster than a statesman or aphilosopher. The Irish papers state that a considerable op position is threatened in Ireland, to the levying of the Poor-rates. The Dubli. l Evening Mail says : It cannot be denied that the Poor-laws, or rather let us say, the Poor-rates, are in this country most unpopular—and threaten to become the source of disturbance and opposition to the laws, What ever cause this arises, whether from the severe or the unequal pressure of the rates—from discrepancy be tween the enormous amount of taxation and the in finitessimal quantity of relief„ to the poor—or from the blundering mismanagement of the Commissioners and their overpaid staff—from whatever cause, we say, this popular discontent arises, it behoves the Govern ment to take the thing into their most serious consi deration." It then quotes accounts of the police having been driven out of the parish of Creagh, when an attempt was made to levy the rate by force —of outrages at Desertserges in the J3andon Union, of bitter complaints in the Ennis Union, and of the guardians of the Rathkeale Union having resolved to appeal from the authority of the Commissioners to the Parliament. The fol lowing somewhat doubtful tale appears in the Corti Examiner : RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES - ONE MAN KII,I4ED AND TIIRE E WOU NDF,D. Through Mr. Hurley, driver of the Skibbereen coach, we learn the particulars of a melancholy trans action, accompanied with 1033 of life, which took place at Skibbereen : It appears that a party of police, under the command of Captain Gore Jones, R.M., proceeded about three miles from the town to afford protection to the col lectors of rates for that district ; but having met with some resistance from the people, who were labouring RAILWAY SHARES .

SlR,—Our attention has this moment been drawn to a paragraph in the Morning Chronicle of this day (under the head "Money Market"), stating that our house suspended its payments on Friday last. We beg of you to give this assertion our most nqualified contradiction—it is pure fiction. Whilst we are endeavouring to ascertain the source from whence this false report has sprung, we are apprehensive' our friends may be made uneasy by its promulgation, we therefore re quest your immediate insertion of this denial.

Loss or THE RELIANCE.—Some further par ticulars respecting the loss of this vessel were re ce,-..ed yesterday, though there appears to be little probability that there will, for some days at least, be a, . detailed account of the melancholy anything like disaster made public. ha! transpired from one of prrious to the ship will be the survivors that a short tm.:. l grounding, Captain yrnOlter, who it recol lected was one of the passengerg, went into the mizen rigging, and told Captain Green that be thought he saw a light on the larboard beam. This, it is stated by nautical men, goes to prove that the Reliance was reckoned to be off the English coast. It is also known that the lead had been kept going during the night, and the man in the chains was heaving it at the moment the keel of the vessel struck the sand. The body of Mr. Blake, one of the midshipmen, was washed ashore on Friday, and interred at Boulogne. The bodies of Mr. Walsh, the chief officer, Mr. John Green, the second officer, and Captain Tucker, have not yet been found. The remains of the wreck have been already sold. The damaged tea has been adver tised for sale on the 25th inst. FLYING POST.—On the morning of the 6th inst. a carrier pigeon, quite exhausted, f e ll d own in the yard of the Boar's Head public-house, High-street, Lynn. An unsealed letter was fastened by a silken string to one of its legs. The letter was written in the Ger man language, was dated Dresden, Nov. 4, and ad dressed to the Earl of Haddington, London ; and after being disengaged flom the pigeon's leg, was en closed in an envelope, re-directed, And sent by post to London.
