She has contributedio diffuse it amongst our'own people. To a recent period books in England, except, perhaps, a few school books, old ballads, and the Bible, were in tended exclusively for the rich. Their C7ost placed them far beyond the reach of °the pdor. They were a luxury Which they tould nut enjoy. As America, speaking our language, and having a reading population, came into the market for our books, it was found necessary to enlarge the editions which 'contributed to the cheapness of such volumes. But when the Americans came to print our most popular works, and published books fbr half-a-crown, or even for the price .of a newspaper, which here cost a couple of guineits, it was soon found necessary to follow in their track. England is, we think, mainly indebted to the republicans, amongst whom a love of read ing is widely diffused, for the present cheapness of books, by which our literature has ceased to belt mere liikury for the rich' and was brought within the reach of the bulk of the people, till they were impoverished by the Corn-laws. In time, the change in the price of books will have another most beneficial effect. Because books were a luxury only for the rich, authors studied their opinions and wrote chiefly to please them. Since literature has been more diffused, opinions have become more democratic, and it is now profitable to write for the other classes as well as for the aristocracy. A. more healthy and a more truthful spirit must pervade modern works, the foible_s of the great and the rich will no longer be and are not exclusively-flattered, and the vices only of the poor branded with re probation. For. that improvement in thought itself; or at least in the written expression of thought, we arc chiefly indebted to the great Republic and not to our aristocracy, who have been desirous to make as close a monopoly of literature as of land. When we are told of the patronage of litera ture by the aristocracy, to what does it amount ? Authors of every description are not only far more independent, they are far better paid since books were brought within the reach of the people than when they were confined to the aristocracy. If the nobility and courtiers of ELIZABETH'S reign contributed to nourish into existence the vast intelligence of that period of which SI! AKSP EARE was the symbol, whichis, however, doubtful—for bath he and they, and all the intellectual wonders of that age, seem to have been the common products of a general mental agitation and growth, such as the world has not since witnessed—the nobility and courtiers both of the first and the second CtitAni.r.s, by their imitation of foreigners and their importation of foreign tastes, did much to corrupt the literature as well as the morals of England. They patronised little or no native genius, and it was not their fault that SHAESPEARE was not buried for ever in oblivion, and that the name of MILTON did not die out of memory as his contemporaries passed away. England might have had a na tional music had the aristocracy not frowned it down by their patronage of foreign musicians, rend made PURCELL be forgotten by his own coun trymen for nearly a century. So there arose at a later period a genuine school of English art in painting, but the people, rather than the aris tocracy, patronised the works of HOGA ATP'. Little or nothing of great value in science. literature, or art, can be traced in England to the exertions or the patronage of the aristocracy, and therefore we dispute the assertion that they are the grand source of our civilization. We should not, however, have entered on such a subject, did not the monopolist press, not satis fied with supporting our aristocracy in their de sign to maintain their power at the expense of humanity and justice, hold them up to mankind as examples of all that is wise, brave, virtuous, and lovely. By their legislation and their con duct the aristocracy have brought the commu nity into its present condition, and our Contem poraries demand that the public should reverence more than ever the authors of the mischief. Our remarks are intended to counteract, if we can, their erroneous statements. COURT CIRCULAR. A meeting of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners was held yesterday, at the office in Whitehall.

TRH WEA.THER.--Tile weather, which at the com mencement of last week was intensely cold, the frost being some times severe, accompanied with biting winds, has, during the last three or four days, assumed a mild aspect. We have been visited occasionally with fine gentle rains; but the evenings arc still clear and beautiful, and we have seldom experienced so genial a ISrovember. The year 1842 has hitherto been remark able for the beauty and seasonableness of the weather. We might now naturally look for a time of storm and severity ; but appearances seem to indicate that the year will finish as it began.—Glasgow Angus.

As great an insight into the Manners, Habits, and Cus toms of this most singular people, may be gained by a few hours' attentive investigation of the SPLENDID COLLECTION in the SALOON at HYDE PARK•CORNER, as could be acquired by a voyage to China. This' is now brought home to our doors at an expense of 2s. 6d.—The latter could be acquired only by an outlay of seve. ral hundred pounds. The arrangements in this Museum are new and easily under stood, and no expense has been spared to make it agreeable to visitors. Children under 12 years Is. Open from Ten A.14,t, till Ten r.U. and no attempt whatever made to have the crew. Both the Malay and O'Neill were insensible on reaching the shore. The French coast, where the Reliance was wrecked, is of shallow sand, and has - no inhabitants upon it except a fewfishermen. The French say they heard the first signals fired, and answered them by firing from the shore and hoisting flag's as soon as it was daylight. They further allege that they launched two boats, which made some progress towards the wreck, and were compelled to put back. Both • O'Neill and the carpenter deny this, and the latter says it is true that he saw them " fingering" the boats, but there was no attempt made to put them off. "With the exception of a French fishing-boat the Reliance had not met a. saiivle vessel for some days previous to the *wreck. The Reliance came ashore in six or eight pieces, the keel lying out at sea 'about half a mile. The portions of the wreck sold for 42,000 f. The chronometers of the vessel were thrown on the beach, but the cases only were found, the cbronorne tern having been stolen. A singular fact is, that Captain Green was found hi , - s l y t the time the . body a i atch was still going. • TO THE , EDITOR OF THE - SUN. Stu—Reading your account of the loss of the Reliance . East Indianian, I am induced to beg of you to give publicity to the suggestion that all ways crosses my mind, in reading accounts of si. niilar diSasters; viz., that the owners or captains of ships should. be obligto have on—iboafd a trunk . CA' ik f;ldiq rubber floating belts ; according to the number of the pa;eouzers 444 crew they would occupy a verysmall space, would oast only a few shillings each, and might be strapped on and inflated in a much shorter time than it takes me to write thine note, and would have saved the lives, in all probability, of no t l ess t h an 100 hu man beings in the case of the Reliance alone (for the carpenter and five or six of the crew, It ap pears, reached the shore without any such astht anee.)

'‘ We were not, however, prepared for this emphatically valuable companion for the merchant and tradesman. To that numerous class of our readers, the commercial travellers, we feel we are rendering a service when we direct their attention to the ' Diurnal Recorder ;' which, within the space of a corn . mon pocket-book, furnishes every variety of information they can require in the transactioa of their daily business."—Globe, Oct. 18. " Its great utility, combined with its cheapness, cannot fail to ensure an extensive sale. It possesses the rare recommendation of economising time, and giethodising business."—Observer, Oct. 16. " The printed information is various, useful, and plentiful ; and the work one to be recommended."—spectator, Oct. 29. " This is decidedly the mast valuable 'work of the kind which has appeared, and will, we confidently predict, find its way into every counting. house, and into the hands of every man of business, when its merits become known."—Advertiser, Oct. lb. " But our diary-maker does insist on the imperfections of former books of this kind, and on the excellence of his own, and he seems well entitled to hold this opinion. The Diurnal Recorder' is an admirable register of the professional arrange ments of all who have money to make, and the pleasurable en gagements of all who have money to spend."—Titres, Oct. 20. " 6 We believe it will be found that they are deficient in no good quality by which works of this class ought to be distin guished, and are extended by several striking and original im provements."—Monthly Magazine for October. " It appears to us a decided improvement on those publica tions of this nature to which we have been heretofore accus tomed."—The Mining Journal, and Railway and Commercial Gazette, Oct. 29.

LOSS OF THE RELIANCE, EAST IN DIAMAN. ARRIVAL OF THE SURVIVORS IN LONDON-AND AUTHENTIC NARRATIVE OF THE WRECK. The survivors among the crew of the above ill-fated ship arrived in London yesterday afternoon ' by the General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Magnet, Captain Stock, from Boulogne. The Magnet brings over the whole of the surviving crew, with the exception of Dixon, the carpenter, who is still detained by the British Consul, for the purpose of identifying the dead, only twelve bodies out of the 109 persons lost having been picked up when Captain Stock left. The subjoined statement was made by O'Neill, an intelligent foremast man, and one of the two English men saved, who was on deck when the vessel struck. O'Neill states that they had remarkably thick and hazy weather for some days previous to tit? 12th inst., and on Friday they shortened sail, and the lead was kept going. At half-past twelve at night, one of the crew named Thomas, whose watch it was on the fore castle, reported that he saw lights, and soon after they were distinctly observed by several others on the larboard and starboard. The second mate, Mr. Green, was on duty at the time, and said that those on the weather bow were a ship's lights, and added, " Hurrah, boys, the light on the lee beam is Dunge ness ; we shall be in the Downs this morning." They" then steered north, and thought they were running for the Downs. Their course was east by north, as it was given at twelve o'clock, when the look-out was relieved. 'About one o'clock Captain Green and Mr. Walsh, the chief mate, came on deck, and the Captain immediately gave orders to wear the ship and heave the lead. As the vessel answered her helm, the quarter-master gave the soundings, " By the hard deep, six." At this moment the vessel was un der close reefed fore and main topsails—was pay ing off by the wind, and gradually going round on the other tack. A seaman named Munroe was at the wheel at this time, and as she veered round her keel touched the bottom, and she struck heavily on the sand. The shock is described by O'Neill as having been terrific. His language was, "It struck me as if I had laid hold of an electrical machine." The whole of the crew rushed on deck, and before any orders could be given she shifted slightly, and became more firmly imbedded. This motion was re peated five or six times in rapid succession, and it was the opinion of the officers that the ship's back was broken by the force of the concussion. The tide was setting strong in, and the Captain immediately or dered 3ignals of distress to be fired. It was the opinion of all on board that they were off the English coast, and the Captain, seeing that there was no hope of saving the ship, desired several of the crew to cut away the mainmast. This was imme diately commenced, and in a few moments it went over to leeward with a terrific crash. The foremast soon followed, and in falling broke the leg of a young midshipman named Forde ; but the im minent danger of all around did not prevent, even at this crisis, every attention being shown him. The fractured limb was carefully set by the surgeon, and the poor lad was conveyed to the Captain's cabin, where he remained, until the breaking up of the ship obliged some of the crew to place him on the poop. While Forde was lying in the cabin, O'Neill and two other seamen made their way there, and took away a musket, a couple of pistols, and a bag of powder, with which they fired signals from the poop. O'Neill admits that those of the crew engaged in firing the signal guns got to the spirit casks and drank to excess. Subsequently, at the Captain's direction, who, accord ing to O'Neill, manifested the greatest coolness and presence of mind, lights were placed in the mizen rig ging in order to point out their position to any boats that might come off to their assistance. The sea was now tremendous, and as the vessel rolled her bottom could be distinctly heard breaking up. The water rushed in, and her cargo of tea, becoming wet burst up the decks, which, for some time previous had been dangerous to stand upon, from the planks opening and shutting, whereby the feet of several seamen were jammed between the seams. Three hours had now elapsed since the vessel struck, and the day was beginning to break. The Captain, with the officers and passengers, and many of the crew, were on the after-part of the vessel, which still held together, the sea making a breach right over her. Chests of tea floated, one by one, on the surface, indicating that a portion of the bottom was entirely gone. Orders were now given to get out the long boat, but, from the injuries she had sustained from the falling of the masts and rolling of the ship, she was found to be useless. There were two other boats on board, but their con dition at this time, as O'Neill states, was such as to render them of no service. The Europeans among the crew were then desired by the officers to con struct a raft, but this could not be accomplished. The vessel held together until eight o'clock, rol ling fearfully from side to side with the swell of the ocean, and drenching the crew continually. About this time; Captain Green, the first mate, Mr. Walsh, and several others, left the poop of the ship to take refuge with the sailors in the floating spars and rigg ing of the mainmast—Captain Tucker and many others still remaining on the after part of the vessel. Shortly before nine o'clock, as nearly as can be ascertained, the vessel parted midships, the sea breaking right through her, and in a few moments she was a com plete wreck, portions of her timber floating about in all directions. Numbers of the crew sank immediately, and were lost sight off amidst the breakers. Capt. Tucker was among this uumber. The Captain, Mr. Walsh, O'Neill, the sail maker, the armourer, and several others, still clung to the mainmast and rigging, which being released from, the vessel floated towards the land. At this and indeed for some length of time previous the people on the coast were distinctly ob served, running to and fro, but no boats put off to render assistance. The floating timber from the wreck, whirled round by the viol e n swte c enh e ar o,ts uaoshnfbwajddetlichi theltet taken dii s ici e nent a gno: fer s o t ee r rfs u us sa c gon h emt of the which poor r e tnehsde scttir l he labove ow h wretches evaeffdowrb tae (o e ' f ffn a t h mt g o h u u ao r s n e ‘ ey , towards the shore, a distance of nearly three miles, extremely feeble. Captain Green who was nearly 60 years of age became so weak that he lost his hold several times and fell into the sea. Mr. Walsh called out to some of the sailors, "Pull up the Captain, boys !' and he was raised on to the timbers more than once The last time he was taken out of the water he was found to be insensible, but the men still assisted in holding him on. About half-past 9 o'clock the loose spars became so exposed to the sea as no longer to af ford protection against its violence, and the greater number of those who had sought refuge upon them were washed off. O'Neill plunged into the se a a n d seized a plank. At the moment of doing so several sailors clung to him. Ile was compelled to strike them off to save his own life, but one of the Malays reached the shore by himself. O'Neill states that as daylight broke men on horseback were observed on the shore, but he states most distinctly that no boat was put off; CORONER'S JNQUES rs.

CUTTING A WOMAN'S THROAT IN A PUBLIC MAR KET-PLACE.----At the Tovim-hhll7 Cambridge, yester day, Charles Triplow, a greenkroeer, living in that borough, was charged with having attempted to mur der his wife by cutting her thro a t in the market place, on Saturday. Charles Wilderspen deposed that on Saturday, between six andrSeVe n . in the evening, he was in the market, when he saw th e pr i soner and his wife standing against their stall. The prisoner went up to his wife and pushed at her two or three times, as if angry, and they appeared to have been quarreling. A woman called out to witness, " He's cut her throat." He hastened to the prisoner's wife, and saw her bleeding from the neck. The prisoner turned off, as if to run away, when witness collared him. Some one then said to the prisoner, " You have been cutting your wife's throat ;" and he 'replied, " Yes, I'll cut- her --'--- heart out before I've done with her." The prisOner was not ' drunk. Charles Gunn deposed to having seen the prisoner and hia wife wrangling. She struck him on the side of the head, to make him get away from the stall, when he went up to her and jobbed something into her neck. Witness saw a great gash in her throat. 'Another witness deposed that the prisoner caught hold of his wife's throat " as if he was going to choke her, and held'her a short time, and then cut her throat." The woman was conveyed to the hospital: One of the sur geons to the hospital deposed that the wound was three inches in length, and one in depth ; the external jugular vein had been cut through. On his way to the station-house, the prisoner said he meant to kill his wife, and if she was dead he should be happy ; he intended, after killing her, to - kill himself. The knife was pr&duced with which the wound had been inflicited.; it was ,a very large clasp knife, with a sharp point. As the woman was dangerously ill, and not able to give any evidence against her husband, he was remanded for 'a few days.

Qv erture .-,-.(Figaro)—Mo zar t. Mozart's delightful sestetto was beautifully given, and was loudly and deservedly applauded. Phillip's • fine clear tones told admirably in it, and he gang with great effect. entering thoroughly into the spirit of his author, Tie beautiful Irish melody " Savournah deelish" was beautifully given by Miss Fanny Rus sell. The gem of the first part, however, was J. P. Knight's ballad of the "Dream," sung by Miss Birch. We never heard Miss Birch in better voice, and she never displayed gloater taste than she did in the exe cution of this beautiful ballad. The audience listened with silent delight until its conclusion, when the room re-echoed with plaudits, - and there was a loud and unanimous call for its repetition, . with which Miss Birch gracefully complied. Dr. Callcott's beautiful glee, " With sighs, sweet rose,' was also honoured with an encore. Herr Muhlenfeldt elicited considerable applause by his performance of Beethoven's grand concerto, in which he displayed great taste and considerable musical knowledge, al though he seems scarcely to have sufficient firmness of touch to do full justice to the master pieces of Beethoven. Mr. Henry Smart's new song, "Estelle," should rather be called a scena than a song. It is a delightful composition, and will, no doubt, be soon found on the pianoforte of every young lady who possesses power of [voice sufficient for its execution. Miss Dolby sang it with great power and pathos, and was enthusiastically ap plauded. It will doubtless henceforth be one of Dolby's favourite songs. The violin solo of Mr. W. Cramer, was a wonderful performance. Exquisitely sweet was the music, which the violin discoursed under his management. His bowing was truly asto nishing, and unlike the generality of pieces composed for the purpose of enabling*, a solo performer to display his powers of execution, it was not caviare to the vulgar. The most uncultivated ear could not but have been delighted with the exquisite flow of melody, " the delightful concord of sweet sounds," of the violin solo of Mr. W. Cramer. Want of space pre vents us from 'noticing the other performances of the evening, the whole of whi c h were g i ven w i t h great taste and judgment. We were delighted to see that the rooms were crowded, and we trust these delightful concerts will continue to receive that pUblic supper which they so richly deserve. SITTINGS OF THE INCOME-TAX COMMISSIONERS. The Commissioners appointed for the City of Lon don under the Property and Income-tax Act, com menced their sittings on Monday, for the purpose of hearing the appeals against the assessments on ac count of the tax. The chambers where the Commis sioners sit are at 36, Basinghall-street, and both Mon day and yesterday were crowded during the whole of the day by persons anxious to be heard against the assessment, and amongst whom loud complaints were raised• about the complication of the papers submitted to them; the excessive amount.to which they had been assessed, notwiths6nding the returns they had made, and the great inconvenience and trouble they had been put to in dancing attendance from day to day, iii order to get their claims of reduction allowed, or the assessment altogether set aside. The plan adopted by the Commissioners, notwithstanding the outcries against them, seem's to have been chosen with due re• gard to the 'convenience of the public. The City hav ing been divided into districts, notices of the day of hearing was forwarded, with the papers to be filled up, to all persons assessed in each of the said districts ; and on appearing at the chambers, a number is appended to each notice paper presented, and they are then heard in rotation, so that those who make the earliest appli cation on the appointed day are the soonest heard. On Monday the district comprising the wards of Aldgate, Bassishaw, Billingsgate, Bridge, and Bishopsgate were taken, when upwards of 200 appeals were heard, out of which nearly two-thirds of the claims for exemption or reduction were admitted, and produced pretty ge neral satisfaction. Yesterday, 392 numbers were is sued for the district comprising Bread-street, Candle-. 1 wick, Cheap, Coleman-street, Cornhill, and Dowgate wards, the results of which appeared to be far less sa tisfactory than the preceding day. Friday next is appointed as an adjourned day for hearing those cases for the above wards that could not come before the Commissioners on either of the first days. It is ex pected that the appeals from theiCity alone will occupy till Christmas. The French Cabinet, it is said, has resolved upon making the faithful execution of the treaties of 1831 and 1833, ,a Ministerial question. M. Guizot is de termined to declare so frankly to the Chamber, and if defeated, to leave to other hands the responsibi lity of a rupture of diplomatic relations with Great Britain.

DEAL, MONDAY.—This being the birthday of the Princess Royal, th e Th un de rer and the other war vessels in the Downs hoisted their gayest colours, and fired a royal salute. The Deal and Walmer band, about ten, at the head of a large number of the inhabitants and visitors, walked up to the front of Walmer Castle, where they drew up, and the band played the national and favourite airs. The Deal boats, in honour of the occasion, to the number of twenty-six sail, were manned. and brought up to the offing under the walls, the wind being northerly. They then sailed out to the south west about two or three miles, turned in and lay to under the Castle walls, giving three cheers, which the Queen and Prince Albert most graciously acknow ledged by repeatedly bowing from the ramparts. The fleet of boats then stood out, and having rounded the Thunderer, stretched away inwards, and landed at Deal, after an absence of about two hours. The question of introducing the cultivation of flax is beginning to be discussed by the agriculturists at their market tables and their various annual gather ings, and we have no doubt, from the energy and the sprit of inquiry which distinguish the farmers of the present day in the affairs of their calling, that the matter will be thoroughly investigated, and the advan tage or disadvantage of the system ascertained by practical experiment. —Esser Herald. TESTIMONIAL TO MISS FANNY TERNAN.--The ad mirers of this fascinating little artiste, anxious to tes tify their high opinion of her inimitable performances, have entered into a subscription to present her with some memorial in commemoration of her early con nexion with the drama at Doncaster. The amount raised is already very handsome ; and we have no doubt something will be realized worthy the high opinion Miss Fanny has gained with the Doncaster audience.—Doncaster Chronicle, LONDON : WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2; 1842. Some writers seek in the vices of the demo cracy for a foil to the vices of the aristocracy, and make these out to be comparatively white, because those are very black. Admitting the facts, the apologists of the aristocracy forget that the democracy are not the . legislators of the aris tocracy, but the aristocracy make laws for the democracy, and are responsibl e f or t h e v i ces of the others as we ll as their own. The dark hues of the democracy, therefore, far from serving as a foil to the aristocracy, only give intensity to their own natural colours. Their example and their rule are equally pernicious, and both tend to corrupt and degrade the nation. It is generally asserted, though we cannot be lieve, that any person capable of thinking has really adopted the conclusion, that a large leisure class, such as our aristocracy, is favourable to the T cultivation of letters. They may, for want of a useful occupation,, ,iiat,d so amuse do they sethnz promote eseh, themselves, but u th e general thet e question is, to v general instruction of the bulk of the commu nity ? For some centuries the aristocracy of Italy and France were renowned for their culti vation of literature, and their patronage of the fine arts; and till the first French Revolution, the • French and the Italians were remark ablefor their gross ignorance of .everything that is worth knowing. The English aristocracy have plumed , themselves for many years on similar tastes, and they are. supported by an aristocratic Church; but it is notorious that, till WESLEY ex cited a taste for a certain kind of book know ledge by religious enthusiasm, the people were ,sunk in extreme and gross ignorance. It was not till the establishment of Mechanics' Insti tutes, which were, in the first instance, scarcely promoted by any member of the aristocracy, that any considerable progress was made in diffus ing secular knowledge amongst the multitude. Of religious knowledge they are yet destitute. Since 1825, the acquisitions - of each class derived from practice, have been in a manner freely dif- fused over all, and have become a COIIIIIIOII pro perty. A great progress has been made. The people are learning, if they h ave not yet fully learned, how to think; they appl y t h e i r minds to politics as well as mechanics, and for this great improvement they are indebted neither to the example of the CITESTERPIELDS, HUNTING TOWERS, and HERTFORDS, nor to their laws. They have acquired knowledge in spite of the aristocracy. In Scotland, where the Church is a re public, the people have been m uc h b etter e d uca ted than in England, and, much more information is dif fused amongst t h e people.
