Tills DAY. Morning...... 33 minutes after 3 I Evtning minutes a ft e r 3. LONDON: VRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 23, 1842. --....----.- We yesterday drew attention to the chief dis tinction between manufacturing and agricul tural industry, and patriotically* endeavoured to reconcile the editors of the Quarterly Review and the Poet, together with the Rev. Mr. MELVILLE and the other preachers against manufactures, to their hard lot of being.obliged to sojourn in the midst of a manufacturing Population, and daily ma ke use of its labours. A ne wspaper, a rev i ew , or ti printed sermol , a manuf a ct ure d art i c l e; and, being fond of our own wares, we are inclined to - think with our Correspondent, H. P., that a news paper is one of the most refined species of manufacture known. The paper on which it is printed, even while blank and unmeaning, is the produce of a most ingenious process, carried on to a vast extent by the CROMPTON'S and DICKEN SONS of our time, and the source of princely for tunes to the HOLLINGWORTHS and the WHAT MANS of a former day. When further manufac tured, and made instinct with meaning by the aid of ingenious compositors, who come as punctual to their business as the clock, and sent forth to the world by the help of a steam-press, it seems to us, to say nothing of our own humble share, nor of the share of numerous gentlemen who contri bute to its completion, to be a species of ma rnufacture which almost may vie with Mr. DYER'S card-making machine, or Mr. WHIT WORTH'S exact imitation on steel of the highest dexterity of the fingers. Yet the literary gen tlemen we have alluded to, scarcely knowing apparently that they are manufacturers, seem smitten with despair at the progress and success of their own social craft, and can find no conso lation, but in dreaming of the solitary labours of the husbandman. We hope we may venture still further, to console these gentlemen, and the community at large, doomed, like them, to be manufacturers in spite of themselves, by briefly pointing out other peculiarities and advantages of manufacturing industry. Next, perhaps, after the distinguishing facts, that manufacturing industry is practised in com pany, agricultural industry in a great measure in solitude, the most striking difference between them is, that agriculture is carried on by little help from machinery, and manufactures by great help from the most refined machinery. In ma nufactures fixed capital, (which is another term for instruments,) in a-4ricultnre manual labour, is the chief means of production. In the former skill, in the latter rude toil, is the most conspi cuous element. In manufactures, therefore, the waste and wear and tear of the human body are, as the rule, preventedt—hough there are yet many exceptions, because skill, as the Report of the Sanitary Commissioners proves, is not car ried far enough—while, in agriculture, all the tasks are performed by muscular strength, and the body is continually undergoing great fatigue. In manufactures machinery works for man, in agriculture he performs the task almost un aided. We consider that circumstance—would the law-maker only allow us to exchange the pro ducts of our acquired skill and knowledge for the produce of the wearying muscular exertions of Polish serfs and American backwoodsmen, and so spare our own husbandmen some of their ex cessive toil—to be a prodigious advantage for the whole community. Other persons take a diffe rent view, and deem it a great degradation that a man should have no other occupation than to watch and guide a machine. On this point we shall venture to quote a passage, though it be long, from a letter which appeared in The Sun up wards of a year ago : Some of your Contemporaries, I am aware, speak of this dependence of man on man arising from division of lgbour, and still more, they speak of the dependence of man on the machinery he uses, as a great moral degra dation. The results contradict their assumption, and in moral wealth as well as manual skill the manufac turers, practising new arts, are superior to the pea santry. They are the servants, I admit, of ma chinery, but the machinery is the result of mind, and the servitude, rightly understood, is that of physical power to intellect. A machine is in all cases the sub stitute for manual labour. It is the product of cool calculating wisdom, the creation in moments of deep thought, which in antiquity was called inspiration of far-sighted men ; it substitutes, therefore, the delibe ration of the sage for the capricious, and may-be some times the drunken, irregularities of the hasty la bourers. While the hand varies in intensity and skill, the mind-begotten machine is invariable and perfect in its operations. Whatever it is appropriated to per form that it does excellently. In subjecting, therefore, the workman to the operations of machinery, and making him depend on that, it makes him the servant of the noblest intellect with which God has endowed his creatures. _ . You will remark, too, that the' inventors and makers of this machinery become alSo its servants. It is the offspring of their best and calmest wisdom, the result of their most profound researches, and whatever the passion or the caprice of the moment might dictate, they are compelled to guide their conduct by the creations of their own mind in its brightest :moments. They cannot get rid of their machinery, and are quite as much slaves to it as their workmen. To me, Sir, this opens a very grand view of society, which, as far as I know, has not sufficiently attracted public attention. The workman in the manufacturing district is the slave, to use the Tory slang, of ma chinery; but the workman in the agricultural dis tricts, the soldier and the sailor, the bulk of manual labourers, are the slaves, or the servants of capricious men. They are governed by passion and uncertainty. Machinery works with something of the regularity of nature, and they who serve it serve at least a steady master. The more machinery is increased, therefore, the more intellect, which creates machinery, becomes the aiding and ruling power of all the operations of man s hand. The use of machinery is extending even in war, and slaughter cannot be carried on without serving intellect. This process, then, is general in society. More and more, year after year, does man become the servant of that mind-begotten machinery which works with unerring precision, and more and more is he liberated from the dominion of passion and caprice. The phrase, therefore, that man is a slave to machinery, means that he is the servant of the highest human intellect, and that its rule over society, as the use of machinery extends, becomes every day greater and greater. According to that view, which we believe is the correct one, the substitution of machinery for manual labour possesses higher advantages than merely sparing muscular exertion. It reduces the most refractory wills under the dominion of calm wisdom, and, in making man the servant of machinery, makes him tractable, orderly, and humble. Such is one of the essential and distin guishing characteristics of manufacturing in dustry. That it is carried on in our country too much for the advantage of a few, and too little for the benefit of the many, we admit and de plore. It shares that characteristic, however, with all our political institutions, and is not on that account more deserving of blame than the Legislature, which has ever provided for the welfare of the few at the expense of the many. In truth this fault of the manufacturing system is derived from our political institutions, and is not inherent in it. The Tory journals frequently reproach the master manufacturers with neglecting their work-. 1 , men, or treating them harshly and Cruelly, and they appeal to the dislike exhibited by the workmen for their masters as the proof of the justness of their reproaches. It is, however, much to be feared that the peasantry only want an opportunity, which numbers have conferred on the town population, to exhibit their dislike, and something worse, of the upper classes. A writer in the Morning . Chronicle, speaking of the more agricultural part of England, says : I heard the resident gentry spoken of in terms which the wildest Chartist never surpassed. In short, at Cookham, at Woburn-green, at High Wycombe, and every town and village I visited in that district, the hostility of the labourers towards the local gentry and many of the farmers was, to say the least of it, expressed without reserve; and in most cases it sounded with a peculiar ferocity, inasmuch as those who uttered their coarse sentiments used language of the coarsest which I have certainly heard equalled oknind—ln aLoanronatedi-stand,or in a coal-heaver's tap-room, but never exceeded in either. At Woburn, at Cook ham, and other places I was induced to , inquire ra ther particularly into the character of the persons whom I heard talking thus freely of the higherclasses. and I found that two-thirds of them or more were farm-labourers, the remainder being shoe makers, papermakers, blacksmiths, and millwrights. In a com p an y of twelve of these persons Only one understood the word machinery to apply to a plough, or any other implement of labour ; even the water wheels that moved the paper mills were not admitted to be parts of machinery.. They applied th e term to certain arts of the paper mills which are of recent achin introduction,. but . could not com prehend that m Chartist education , s Supposing that a_n_a e l ry had existed in any other shape. snore than esoolfmtthi sounded d m t might hem on have a that received subject,a but few of them a understood the nature of the Chartist h ave doctrines , haar hoard n o f f l of them appeared never to spirit wo r u ea ld dy ind t( a ) lg r that or any other doctrine eectphiveemanthe name; but all were in with the hope of levelling any class t 11a better provided with t h e com f or t s of life than themselves. Hatred of the opulent classes, and a levelling spirit, are as conspicuous in the agricultural _as in the manufacturing districts. Men who feel themselves miserable believe themselves op pressed and, notknowinchow to obtain relief and redress, will become sulky and ferocious. We have good reason to believe that the same dispo sition exists in other parts / of England as well as in Bucks. The parsons will have a hard task to eradicate such feelings, while the landlords will find it no easy matter to prevent them breaking out into disorder and violence. Falling markets betoken abundance in the land; and however much the landowners may suffer from a reduc tion of prices and rent, they will, in the end, find it the cheapest, as well — l a s the most humane, way to preserve the peace of the country, to take instant means for directing a large share of that abundance into the houses of the half-starved peasan try. THE STADE (not, as the Post writes, the Stadt,) DUTIES are described by that journal as the heredi tary property of the King of Hanover. The Stade duties are neither more nor less than one of those piratical robberies' which the Barons and Princes of the middle ages committed on the people. Those plunderers perched themselves on a rock commanding a road or a stream, and sallying out whenever they saw carriers or vessels, detained them till they purchased a permission to proceed, by a per tentage on their goods. Some ancient possessor of Stade, a town that did command the entrance to the Elbe, practised this trick; custom converted the demand into a regular payment, and now an exaction from all the commdrce of the day which enters the Elbe is called hereditary property. Men must have strange ideas who call such plunder of the English merchants the hereditary pro perty of the King of Hanover. If he had, in the sanction of the merchants of the middle ages, a right to this toll, that right ceased the instant the mer chants of the day questioned it. From a right their refusal to be plundered converted it into a wrong. The King of Hanover does nothing to improve the navigation of the Elbe, for which service the toll is a suitable payment; it is a mere relic of feudal rob bery, and the Ministers of England will exhibit only , pusilanimity, or—what is worse—a readiness to sacri fice the property of the people they are bound to pro tect, to gratify an ill-omened Prince, if they do not, on behalf of the English merchants, refuse to allow King Ernest to levy the fraction of a farthing on them. In fact, he has no power to enforce the col lection of the toll, and for the English Government to consent to levy it on English shipping, is to make that Government a tax-collector for the little Hano verian des t. Loan STANLEY IS NOT DEAD, either civilly or po litically. The rumour on this subject was not true. He received two persons, and two persons ac tually saw him, and transacted business with him, at the Colonial-office on Tuesday. We have no less au thority for our assertion than the Court Circular. While Sir Robert Peel and the Earl of Aberdeen have been in Scotland attending on the Queen, while Sir J. Graham and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have been enjoying themselves at the Isle of Wight, or vi gorously putting down the Turn-outs in the North, Lord Stanley has been quietly labouring in the re cesses of the Colonial-office. How admirably, think some, will our colonies be governed. Others say that the Noble Lord has been., commissioned by Sir Robert Peel to open all dispatches which reach town in his absence, and forward to him the important ones, and this duty the Noble Lord has performed with his usual diligence, and in a most clerk-like manner. As the Noble Lord has now proved that he is not dead, but actively at work, the world cannot suffi ciently admire the powerful necromancy of Sir Ro bert Peel, which has converted the fiery Tybalt into a most humble and useful drudge. THE ADELPHI NUISANCE.—The following com munication confirms the account which we gave last week of the noxious vapours which arise from the Adelphi arches. In the remarks we made no blame was imputed to the police, who seem sufficiently aware of the danger, but we blamed the parochial authorities for their supineness. A medical gentle man had reported—and they must know the fact— that nothing can possibly be worse than the condition of this locality, yet they take no steps to provide a remedy. It matters not whether the property is pri vate or public. If they were to indict the place as a nuisance, a Jury would soon compel the proprietors to do their duty.:— " F Division, Sept. 21, 1842. " Relative to the paragraph in The Evening Sun of the 15th September, I beg to state that the Adelphi arches are private property, occupied for stabling, cow-houses (there being now sixty cows), waggons, belonging to the wharfs, &c., &c., and formerly shut in by gates (of which only some remnants remain), but now quite accessible for any person at all times; con sequently a number of vagrants are from time to time found there by the police, who conceal themselves in the vaults and sheds, to sleep during the night, and being very convenient as a deposit for all sorts of filth, a great deal is taken there, which causes a very offen sive smell in the neighbourhood, particularly in the summer season, but which does not come under the cognizance of the police.

WINDSOR, MONDAY.—Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the Earl and Countess of Den bigh, arrived at the Castle to-day, from her. residence, Bushy House, Bushy Park, on a visitto her Majesty. This afternoon, the Queen, attended by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, the Hon. Miss Paget, and the Hon.

His Royal highness Prince Albert, his Imperial Highness the Archduke Frederick of Austria, and his Highness Prince Esterhazy, were on horseback. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, and the Princess Royal, were taken their usual air ings to-day. In the forenoon her Majesty and her illustrious Consort took their accustomed walking exercise. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge has left town for Kew. Sir James Graham arrived in town yesterday from the Isle of Wight. In the afternoon the Right Hon. Baronet paid a visit to Sir Robert Peel, at his 'resi dence in Whitehall-gardens.

The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of Brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : s. d. West India 36 81 per cwt. East India 39 41 Mauritius 35 84 The total average price of the three descriptions is 375. 3d. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week sending the 20th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con. sisted of 23,038 cwt. West India, of 6,010 cwt. East India, and 5,651 cwt. Mauritius. Foreign Brown or Muscovado Sugars may be bought at from 13s. to 17s. per cwt. ; the quality which as similates to the average quality of West India Sugar is worth 16s. 6d. per cwt. We have endeavoured to teach the West Indians how—by underselling them—they might drive out of the British markets all slave labour sugar ; it can, however, hardly be expected, that they will avail themselves of instruction tendered for their welfare, unless they are compelled to bestir themselves by the Government admitting foreign su g ars to a free and fair competition with theirs fbr home consumption. There is, it must be confessed, a degreeof consistency, though it be of a pernicious tendency, in the sayings and doings of these monopolists. They predicted all manner of evils from the manumission of the blacks, and, Sever since that event, they have strenuously ex erted themselves to verify their ill-boding predictions. In a word they have so egregiously mismanaged their affairs, that the countries attributing their diffi culties to emancipation, have maintained the system of slavery, and even hesitate now to follow the humane example set them by Great Britain. For in flicting this mischief, the consumers of sugar in the United States, are compelled by law, to reward them, by pay:ig them an additional 20s. per cwt. for that article—this is turning the other cheek to be slapped with a vengeance. SHOCKING ACClDENT.—Yesterday evening an in quest was held at the Crown publi-house, Mile-end road, upon the body of a girl, named Martha Doyle, aged 11 years. It appeared by the evidence that the deceased had been left at home by her mother, who was an artificial flower maker, during her absence with some goods, which the po,or woman was endea vouring to sell in the streets; and a younger sister having accidentally set fire to her clothes whilst play ing with some lucifer matches, : the deceased, in her endeavours to extinguish the flames, set fire to her gown. The poor child, after freeing her sister from danger, in her alarm, rushed into the passage, where the current of air caused the whole of her dress to become one body of flame before it could be extin guished by the neighbours.. She was removed as speedily as possible to. the London Hospital, where she lingered for four days, when death put a period to her sufferings. Verdict —Accidental death. DOCTRINE OF « DISAFFECTION." We have observed in several instances that the Magistrates, before whom the rioters have been lately brought, have seized the oppottunity for cen suring severely those who stir up the people to disaf fection against the laws. The Anti-Corn-law League having been directly pointed at by some of those magisterial censors, we hare a word to say upon the subject, by way of clearing the mystification intended by the use of the terms " disaffection to the laws." We would ask Mr. Foster, the respectable chair main of the Salford Court of Sessions, and his brother Magistrates—do they mean to impugn the conduct of those who promote disaffection towards bad laws ? We remember to have seen a female put to death at Newgate. She was a mother, and her infant child was torn from her breast as she mounted the scaffold. Was Sir Samuel Romilly deserving of censure, for exciting disaffection in the public mind against the de moniacal law under which that poor woman, and a mother too, was judicially murdered, for stealing pro perty above the value of five shillings from a inen draper's counter ? It is not ten years since our fellow- Christians were legally bought and sold by British citizens. Were Clarkson and Wilberforce censurable because they agitated the public mind to create disaf fection towards the law which sanctioned the system of slavery in our colonies? On the contrary, are not the above names held in the highest reverence for having succeeded in creating such an abhorrence of those bad laws as led to their abolition ? Following in the path of Romilly and Clarkson, the members of the Anti Corn-law League are exerting themselves by ' every legal means to spread the disaffection they feel towards a law which, they believe, limits the supply of a nation's food, dooms multitudes to a premature grave, and demoralises great bodies of the industrious popu lation. Entertaining this belief, not only are they justified, not only are they not censurable, for the course they pursue, but they would be guilty of a dereliction of their duty as men, as citizens of a free country, and as Christians, if they did not use every legitimate effort to create disaffection in the public peaceful mode of effectin g it s re peal. We may be told by as the only practicable and mind towards the Corn-l aw , Mr. Foster and his colleagues, that they do not concur with us in our view of this law. Be it so. In that case they are not expected to join us in exciting public opinion against it. All that is due from them as com ponent parts of the electoral body is, to investigate the nature and operation of the law for the support of which they are responsible to their country and their Maker. Ignorance they cannot plead ; our agitation of the question has deprived of that plea every ra tional possessor of the electoral franchise. In times like the present it is especially important that Magistrates should strictly confine themselves to their proper functions of administering the laws, and not exceed their legitimate duties by interfering with the rights of citizenship. Despite the opinion of Mr. Foster and his brother Magistrates, we regard it as not only the right, but the sacred duty, of all who en tertain similar opinions, to use every constitutional means for disseminating disaffection towards the Corn law, as the surest means of procuring its total repeal. —Anti-Bread Tax Circular. AMERICAN CITIZENS AND BRITISH CON V ICTS. CORRESPONDENCE. House of Representatives, Aug. 10. Sir,—We beg leave to address you in behalf of sundry citizens of the United States held prisoners by the British Government in its penal colony of Van Diemen's Land. It is represented to us that upwards of 100 citizens of the United States are thus held captive at the pre sent moment. They are chiefly young men of the State of New York, who, during the late revolutionary movements in Canada, conceiving that the struggle there was analogous in principle to the revolutionary war of their own country, volunteered their services in aid, as they were induced to suppose, of the people of the British provinces in arms for independence. Being taken in arms against the established Go vernment of those provinces, and found amenable to its criminal laws, they were sentenced to the punish ment of transportation to Van Diemen's Land. We have been charged with the presentation to the House of many memorials, and of the proceedings of public meetings, seeking the interposition of the Go vernment of the United States for the release of these prisoners. It seems to us, that the accomplishment of this ob ject is one which it would be honourable and just for the Federal Government to attempt, by application to that of Great Britain. Though convicted and sentenced in due form of law for the acts committed by them, yet the crimes charged were of a political nature—a class of offences in regard to which it is common for one Government to interpose amicably on behalf of its subjects held captive by another Government. These individuals, in volunteering to enter Canada, deemed themselves to be exercising rights of emigra tion, and of action in foreign war, appertaining to them as citizens of the United States ; and it was not until after many of them had actually been made prisoners in Canada that they became aware that they were proceeding in violation of the laws of their own country as well as those of the British provinces. They have already been severely punished ; and, for public effect, their liberation would, it seems to us, be more useful in preserving the peace of the frontier than their longer detention. We cannot but hope, therefore, that the Federal effi ciently for Government, which has re cent l y : exerte d i tse lf so effi e release of citizens of the United States detained in Mexico, may be induced to extend its parental care to those also who are confined in Van Diemen's Land. We think that the present time, when arrangements are in progress for the removal of so many of the causes of the differences between the United States and Great Britain, is an auspicious occasion for soli citing from the latter an act of mercy towards the citizens of the former, thus attesting, in the strongest• manner, the reciprocal good feeling by which both Governments are actuated. We, therefore, would most respectfully submit to your consideration the propriety and wisdom of imme diately a pplying to the British Government for the release of these citizens of the United States. We have the honour to be, very respectfully, C. CUSHL.NG. FERNAND 0 WOOD. CHARLES G. FERRIS. To the President of the United States. Department of State, Washington, Aug. 27. Gentlemen, —The President has referred to me vour letter to him, of the 10th of this month, asking for the interposition of the good offices of the Govern ment in behalf of sundry citizens of the United States, now held prisoners at Van Diemen's Land, on con viction of offences growing out of the revolutionary movements in Canada, some years ago ; and has in structed me to adopt such course on the subject as may b have in view. to promote the object which you The e most co nsid l e i r k a ey t l ions which you state, Gentlenien, are undoubtedly such as may justify the exercise of clemency on the part of the British Government towards these persons. They have been transported half round the globe to a penal colony, have already suffered much and long, and many of them have friends and connections in the United States, who Sin their fate. For the purposes of example, e,slt deeply dseem that it would be hardly useful to continue their punishment longer ; and now the other questions of difference have been settled, and that undisturbed peace may be expected along the borders, their release would be a happy and proper consequence of the pacific arrangements recently en tered into between the two Governments.

The people of Birmingham like thos9 of Leeds and Glasgow, are beginning to complain bitterly of the tariff of the United States. At first, like ourselves, when they saw the tariff in conjunc tion with Lord AsnnunToN'samicable settlement of the many disputed questions between Great Britain and America, the Birmingham houses were inclined to augur most favourably of our future prospects, but a rigid examination of the tariff has led them to a very different and a much more melancholy conclusion. They have found out that at present prices the new tariff will raise the duty on bar iron from 42i to 95 per cent. Our exports of iron and steel, exclu sive of cutlery, constitute 1-15th of our trade with the United States, and as we know that a similar effect will be produced on our cotton and all other trade, the prospect in the manufacturing districts must become more dreary every day. At Birmingham, we are told, several establish ments have already intimated their intention to reduce their present complement of clerks and servants, and from 150 to 200 additional hands will cease to find employment in the course of the week. The events from which we had anticipated an increase of our traffic, will un fortunately operate the other way, and the peace and security we have, as it were, bestowed on the United States, will enable them to extend their domestic industry without giving a corre sponding extension to our own. These unfortu nate circumstances are plainly the consequences, not of our diplomacy, but of our own domestic arrangements, and the community would be much more benefited by our Contemporaries turning their attention from abusing the late treaty, to rectify our own faulty legislation We have laid before our readers proofs from the woollen, the cotton, and the iron dis tricts, of a great injury inflicted on those three branches of our trade by a foolish law enacted in a foreign country in retaliation of a foolish or wicked law enacted at home. Where this new mode of making war, and inflicting mutual injury by legislation, is to end we cannot foresee, but we can inform the people of both hemispheres that they must strangle the restric tive system, or it will soon strangle prosperity, and put peace to flight. We cannot imagine what object certain writers have in view by denouncing, day after day, the treaty concluded between this country and America, and heaping abuse on Lord ASH BURTON, as if he had betrayed his country. These articles are of no ordinary length, for they extend occasionally to two or three columns, and the authors, like great talkers, seem to for get at the end what they said at the beginning. Is it their object to induce the Government to reject the treaty, or have they recourse to all this "sound and fury " with a vie w to excite hostility to the Government, and keep up a bad feeling between the two countries? We fear the latter are the real causes. They cannot imagine that a treaty in. volving so many points, to which there cannot be any reasonable objection, is to be annulled, because Canada. has obtained a smaller portion of the disputed territory than was originally claimed ; or that the British Government could with a good grace refuse the line which the Whigs were willing to accept ten years ago. Since that period the difficulties of settling the dispute have been daily on the increase, the American settlers in the neighbourhood have become more numerous, and the value of the districts to which they consider themselves entitled has consequently increased to a great extent. If the American Government, therefore, were not disposed to accept the offer made by Lord Grimes Government, it could not reason ably be expected to accept less favourable con ditions now, and the result would be, that this dangerous question would remain open, England would be forced to keep a large army in Canada, and in:a few years, probably, the two countries would be involved in a destructive war. England can afford to be generous. No nation can accuse her of truckling to other Powers, or of any want of courage when her rights or character are concerned ; and if by this treaty peace can be preserved, the people of England and of America will alike regard it as a blessing. While on this subject we may refer to the correspondence published in another part of the paper, in relation to the American prisoners banished to Van Diemen's Land. Mr. WF.BSTER, in his reply to a letter on the subject, signed by certain citizens, states that be will communicate it to Lord ASHBURTON, and, that he has the strongest hope that it will be effectual . in obtaining the pardon of these misguided men. We trust it will be successful, and that the amnesty will also be extended to the Canadian convicts. The Madrid journals of the 14th instant state that the prospects of the Ministry are brighten ing. The Junta of the Centralized Debt of Madrid have offered to advance the Finance 'Minister three millions of reals; the Bank Di rectors are to supply six millions more, so that the clamorous officials will now receive their arrears of salary.

A pamphlet published by General BUGEAUD, Governor-General of Algeria, on the coloniza tion of French Africa, is the subject of much comment in the French journals of Wednesday. According to the General's account, the war is not yet half over, for France cannot retain the coast without taking possession of the interior of the country, and covering it with military colo nies. To retain the country France must keep in Africa a force of 80,000 men. Since 1831 the army in Africa has been increased from 17,000 to 70,000 men. The General describes the interior of the country as very fine, and ex ceedingly fertile. He considers that if his plan of conquest be properly carried out, the colony will inaintaie itself without any assistance from France. We doubt this. The Regency, as it is called, cannot be made to defray its own ex penses during the lifetime of the present genera tion. The revenue raised in Algeria, in 1837, fell short of three millions of francs, and, notwith standing the dreadful razzias of 1841, when whole villages were nightly plundered and burned by the French, and all the cattle carried off, the produce from every source did not amount to nine millions of francs. Where is the prospect here of defraying the expenses of an army of 80,000 men, independently of the charges of the civil service ? The following are the remarks of the National upon the subject:— M. Bugeaud's plan appears to us to want a good foundation, and we are of opinion, that in order that Africa may produce us something, it is necessary, above all, to raise contributions from the Arabs. The Governor-General, in fact, touches on this question, and explains what men and means ought to be em ployed in the operations known by the name of razzias. We are sorry, we confess, to find such an expression proceeding from the pen of a man who has the honour of commanding a French army. The razzias, which most frequently supplied a ground work for the pompous bulletins of our staff in Africa, are, in fact, most deplorable things,, of which, for the honour of France, we ought to hasten to destroy all traces, if we do not wish to resemble the English pilferers, levying contributions on the coasts of China. There is not, besides, a single officer of sense and feeling who does not acknowledge that the razzias are a cause of demoralisation for the army and of weakness in its discipline, without being a source of revenue worth speaking of for the Government. In order that the colony should be sufficient for its own wants, and give some compensation for the enor mous sacrifices which we are forced to make, other means must be sought than those proposed b y M . Bugeaud. And will they be found ? or, if found, will they 1;e put in execution? Will Africa' cease to be regarded as a camp, where favourite officers go to seek a means of advancement ? We do not think these things will be witnessed, but at least we ought to be obliged to M. Bageaud for having endeavoured to find I them. The allusion to the conduct of England in China is coarse and ill-natured, but not happy. It should have been intimated that before ac cepting the Canton ransom, our merchants were illegally plundered of millions of pounds worth of property. What did the Arabs take from the French which could only be repaid by razzias? Nor is the acceptance of the ransom of a city to be placed in the category of crimes with the midnight massacre of the inhabitants of sleeping villages. The Commerce, in adverting to the pamphlet of General BUQEAUD, says : The Government and the public ought to hold themselves carefully on their guard against the ima gination of the Governor-General ; he is subject to error, and unfortunately the experience of this fact does not tend to diminish his excessive confidence, or the impetuosity of his affirmation. General Bu geaud's pamphlet has only strengthened a conviction which we have long entertained—that by the severity and rude energy of his command, he might be serviceable in keeping down the Arabs —no very difficult work, by the way, with the immense means he has at his disposal— but that he is not endowed with any of the qualities of the organizer, the statesman, the political econo mist, and the cool observer, which are so necessary for compassing the colonization, the civil, agricultural, and manufacturing constitution of Africa. M. Bugeaud, in fact, only sees a possibility of prosperity for the colony in military rule. It is in the army that he places the elements of government and coloniza tion; the colonists are but mere accessories. His system may be found in the following extract from his work—' An army of sufficient strength will govern the country, receive the taxes, and favour commercial speculation.'" Letters from Algiers of the 10th inst. state that the French in Africa are likely to have a trouble some winter of it. Many of the tribes who were submissive while their crops were on the ground, having now secured their harvest, are rising in arms against the French. General BUGEAUD .will find plentyof employment during the winter besides pamphleteering. But the General fancies himself a statesman as well as a warrior, and that he wields the pen as potently as he does the sword. We subjoin what other items of news we find in the French journals : M. Dupuch, Bishop of Algiers, is expected very shortly in France. The Prelate is then to return to Pavia, to fetch the celebrated relic of St. Augustin, granted by the civil and ecclesiastical authorities of the country. His Holiness Gregory . XVI. has ad• dressed a most encouraging and flattering brief on the subject to M. Dupuch. The French Government grants a man-of-war to convey this treasure to Algiers with all military honours. The keeping of the pre cious relic will be entrusted to the Trappists.—Ga zette de France. PARIS, SEPT. 21.—Letters from the frontiers of Spain say that General Zurbano, after visiting all the fortresses in Upper Catalonia, had returned to Gerona, where a brilliant serenade was given him on occasion of his receiving the Grand Cross of Isabella the Catholic. The Municipality of Bilboa, in consequence of a dispute with the military authorities, has offered its resignation in a body. The Journal du Havre after giving a detailed ac count of the unhappy shipwreck of the Leopoldina Rosina, on the east coast of Uruguay, adds : " Two hundred and thirty-one passengers, chiefly women and children, were victims of this disaster. Only 72 escaped, as it were, by a miracle, and were taken on board the French schooner L'Eclair. The latter speaks in great praise of the firm and generous conduct of Don Vicento Acosta, and Don Natalor Molino, whose presence at the spot where the ship wreck was, checked the violence of the Gauchos, and protected them in their distress from further mo lestation." • TOULON, SEPT. 17.—" The Lamproire corvette has to-day taken its bill of health.

Before taking this resolution, an express was sent to Warsaw to the noble relations and to the Polish Bank, with which the house has been closely connected ever since its establishment ; and it was not till a refusal to assist was received that this decisive step was taken. It is said that the house purchased in the course of last winter five or six thousand lasts of wheat in the interior of Poland, at high prices, part of which is still there, because the river Bieg is too shallow for the corn vessels to come down, and that the recent losses may amount to 600,000 dollars. But few houses here are losers, and those to only a moderate amount; foreign houses in llamburgh, London, Odessa, and Warsaw, are said to be great sufferers. SUICIDE FROM WATERLOO•DRIDGE.
